"Click."
In the TV screen, the door closed, like a heavy tombstone falling, cutting off the sight of the desperate white-haired young man.
Mo Yan sat in front of the live broadcast screen, staring blankly at this scene - he knew that this might be the last time he saw his second brother.
Across a screen, there's a whole world.
Mo Yan heard the cruel truth with his own ears. The second brother who grew up with him and practiced swordsmanship with him... really became a person with special status and could never come back.
He still remembers that when he was a child, his second brother would often bring him interesting gadgets from the city.
Bubble pistol, yo-yo, marshmallow, rotating Rubik's Cube...
[Mo Yan, these are all yours, go ahead and play with them, my second brother won’t steal them from you. 】
[It's okay, let's play, let's play. These are brought back specially by my second brother. You are my third brother. 】
[You are the youngest in the family, second brother, I will let you go. 】
…
[Second brother will always let you go. 】
…
"Why..." Mo Yan murmured softly.
Beside him, on the white hospital bed, the traumatized eldest brother Mo Xiao stared blankly at the TV screen, like a stiff vegetative state, unable to respond to the outside world.
When he saw Mo Wen's tears on the screen, Mo Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly had a tear appear in the corner of his eye.
The crazy Mo Xiao still didn't realize what was happening in the outside world, but he understood that something very sad seemed to have happened, which made his stiff eyes shed tears unconsciously.
"...My brother's mental illness has not recovered yet, my second brother can't come back, and there is no one around me. What should I do..."
Mo Yan lay down on the hospital bed, feeling vaguely wet as he suppressed his cries.
He used to use "second brother" to refer to Mo Wen and "brother" to refer to Mo Xiao.
As for "Big Brother", it represents the big brother in Baisha Paradise, and is Mo Yan's exclusive title for Su Ming'an.
On the bedside table, there is a photo of the three brothers. The tall brother Mo smiled cheerfully, the slightly shorter second brother Mo Wen said "yeah" to the camera, and the third brother Mo Yan stood aside stupidly holding a sword. Behind them was the green Taihua Mountain. .
But now, no one can laugh like this, and no one can get together and take such a photo again.
Not only is my hometown gone, but people no longer come.
Some people have already left.
The distance between them is too far.
"If I can be stronger, if I also become a person with special status, can I... bring my second brother back?"
"No, you can't think like this. There is also my brother Mo Xiao. I have to take care of Mo Xiao..."
"But, but..."
In the silent ward, there was only the young man's low cry.
"I, there is nothing I can do..."
"Brother..."
"..."
"...I can't bring trouble to my eldest brother..."
…
…
"——Hey, look, why is there someone sleeping on the street?"
"Looking at the clothes, he looks like a rich man, and he has a personal watch on his hand..."
"It just so happens that the 'market' in the third district needs to purchase goods. One person can make a lot of money selling them."
"Why do we still have to do this kind of work... Damn, I really envy that gambling man on No. 6 Street. He sold his daughter and went to enjoy himself comfortably. Why don't I have such a beautiful daughter..."
Hearing someone's voice, Su Mingan woke up instantly. His sleep has always been very light, and any disturbance can easily wake him up.
It was late at night, the street lights were dim due to disrepair, and a few tall shadows could be seen in the darkness.
They were holding firearms and seemed to be looking here. Someone stepped forward and wanted to grab Su Mingan's shoulders.
...The fringe area is so chaotic that even if he sleeps on the roadside, he will encounter people who want to traffic people.
Su Mingan grabbed the man's extended hand, pulled it, and punched hard with his left hand!
【HP-287! 】
A low damage value jumped out. The man was just an ordinary person. After being punched, his eyes popped out and he fell to the ground, holding his stomach and wailing.
After a few "ka ka ka" sounds, several people immediately raised their guns and pointed them at Su Ming'an warily.
"Don't move!" A man with yellow hair shouted loudly. He raised his gun and approached Su Mingan little by little: "Take off your watch and raise your hands!"
"Xiko."
Su Mingan just called out.
The next moment, there was a flash of white light, and the wheelchair covered with a blue protective cover automatically crashed out. Several people immediately opened fire, but the bullets did not penetrate even a single inch.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The cover hit their bodies, like a big truck rushing towards them. Several people staggered, their bodies made a crisp cracking sound, and they fell to the ground and kept wailing.
Su Mingan stopped the wheelchair and looked at the only man he spared, a middle-aged man who was trembling with fear.
"You just said that a man who was a gambler sold his daughter?" Su Mingan stared at the middle-aged man's trembling eyes: "What is that daughter's name? Where was she sold to?"
"Ah, ah ah, don't kill me!!" The man was frightened.
"Let me ask you -" Su Ming'an picked up his washed white collar with one hand and stared into the other person's cloudy eyes: "What is the name of the daughter who was sold?"
He had a bad feeling.
Although he left a white cat for Xiaomei, it is difficult for a person who is so kind and weak to stand up, no matter how powerful the weapon is.
If she dies, all the progress in TE2 "The Dragon Enters Her Heart" will be in vain.
The man's trembling words confirmed his guess.
"Call, call me Xiao... Xiaomei! She was sold to the son of a dream investor as a mistress, and the gambler dad exchanged a large amount of money for fun. I also... I heard it by chance. !" The man's face was full of fear. He didn't expect that a disabled person sleeping on the roadside would be so cruel: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm just trying to make a living..."
"..."
"Xiko, positioning." Su Mingan said.
Xiko is the AI with the highest authority except Dawn, and it can locate the location of every resident.
"Positioning, father or daughter?" Xiko asked.
"Xiaomei."
"Resident Xiaomei, an inferior personality engaged in gray transactions in the fringe area, current location... core area (287, 187), Christian Entertainment Club." Xike answered after searching for a while.
Su Mingan shook off the man who was about to pee his pants, started the wheelchair and jumped out, rushing in the direction of the coordinates.
As winter approaches, the city has been extremely cold. People in the city wear thick cotton coats and down jackets, and their breath feels like frost.
While flying rapidly, he saw barrages discussing New Year-related topics.
He suddenly realized that it seemed like the New Year was coming recently.
This is the New Year celebrated by the people of the Dragon Kingdom in the World Game, a very special New Year. People cannot return home and are separated from their loved ones.
Celebrating the New Year with people like Lu Shu, Noel, Luna, Yamada, and Lu should be a very special experience.
I hope World Games can allow him to have a good New Year's Eve.
…
[This year’s New Year’s Eve is January 31st, and today is January 26th. It seems like the New Year will be in just five days! ! 】
【new year? A festival in the Dragon Kingdom? 】
[It’s a pity that adventure players can’t return to the Lord God’s World to celebrate the New Year. I saw that Longguo District had prepared a grand New Year's party and invited many celebrities from the past. 】
[The World Game version of the Spring Festival Gala... Whether it is the advanced architectural virtual scene system, stage drama system, simulated picture system in the forum, or the impact of the World Game on human culture, it can all be reflected, and it should be beautiful. 】
【Looking forward to it. 】
[Xiao Mei is so pitiful, why doesn’t she resist? That white cat could have killed her father. 】
[Don’t be cruel, killing your father with your own hands would be too much...]
[Hey, we will also be in this live broadcast room during the New Year! We will accompany Su Ming'an together. If he can't get out of the dungeon, we will stay with him! 】
[I have prepared many New Year messages and will send them out together when the time comes. 】
[It would be great if Su Mingan could interact with us, like the kind of anchor who would guess charades and cultural solitaire with barrage during festivals. You draw and I guess something. It should be very interesting...]
…
The height of the wheelchair dropped rapidly and landed on the street of the Christian Entertainment Club.
The street is brightly lit, and the storefronts are hung with colorful light signs.
Through all kinds of magnificent lights, Su Mingan could see the chaos inside...swaying lights, swaying wine bottles, and twisted and swaying figures. The cold night did not affect these people's all-night partying. They danced and danced like they didn't care about their emotional stability.
"who!"
The security guard spotted him, and the lights came over.
"Xiko, open the permissions!" Su Mingan said.
"The highest authority has been activated." As soon as Xiko finished speaking, a huge blood-red MBT appeared on top of Su Mingan's head, which was the symbol of the Dawn personality.
Su Mingan opened the permissions to pass through the identity authentication directly and avoid trouble. He didn't expect to have such a big number on his head...
He passed by the frightened security guard, rushed forward with a huge red sign, and broke in through the door.
"Bang——!!"
Against the blue defensive cover, the wooden door was smashed by him, and sawdust splintered out.
"Bang bang bang——!"
Colored lamps and glass were scattered all over the floor, shining golden light on the scarlet carpet.
In the room, the strong smell of alcohol and the dull heat suddenly hit his face, and his face, which was a little cold in the night wind, turned red.
The strong drumbeats and dynamic rhythm music bombarded people's eardrums, and he frowned.
When they saw him crashing the door, the dancers let out a shrill scream, which was extremely harsh.
"This gentleman -" Several waiters in white suits stepped forward, as if they wanted to stop him, but when they saw the huge MBT on his head, they all choked.
...What kind of situation is this? The city lord is also here to have fun?
"Club." Su Mingan chewed the word in a low voice. He knew that this was not a pure place, it could even be said to be a red light district.
How could a father be willing to push his own flesh and blood to a place like this?
Perhaps, it was because he was too young and the father he met was too kind, and he had never seen such ugliness.
"Sir City Lord, our club is legally operated and we have a business license..." The waiter on the side explained immediately.
Su Mingan rushed in, and the wheelchair knocked over the waiter who was delivering the wine. Large pieces of wine glasses with different haloes scattered around.
Approaching the coordinates, the private room door was locked, and a man's voice came from inside.
"I'll teach you...drink this glass of wine, and I'll protect you from now on."
"Huh? Don't drink? You... are a dirty woman. Why are you pretending to be noble? Otherwise, your gambler father who owes money still wants to live? Xiaomei, you don't want to be an unfilial daughter, do you?"
"She's still resisting, hold her down! TNND, I'm going to let her know today..."
"Bang!"
Mining unlocked and Su Mingan knocked open the door.
Indoors, three young men were sitting on the sofa, and the music was almost deafening. In front of them, there were several gorgeous women swaying their bodies, dancing with exaggerated and unrestrained moves, their long dark purple hair swaying and flying, filling the box with an ambiguous atmosphere.
In the center of the sofa was a girl who was pushed down.
She was so thin that she almost sank into the sofa. The once spirit-like vitality that night had dissipated like ice and snow melting away.
She struggled, like a piece of torn red cloth, and it seemed that the sound of the tearing of her soul could be vaguely heard.
When Xiaomei left her gambling father, she didn't feel much peace of mind.
She has returned her last favor.
Her future was cut off early, and no one could hear her screams.
So... she was really happy when she held a bright red umbrella for the young man who was caught in the rain in the alley.
He was the most influential person in the city-state, but he was hunted down by the Red Order throughout the city before he could meet her, who was like an underground rat.
When he looked at her, his gaze was equal and respectful. Unlike her night guests, whose face is always full of desire and ugly.
Until the father told her that the family's debts had overwhelmed her.
Call it cowardly and kind-hearted, but she couldn't let go of her father, who was connected by blood. She didn't dare to see him beaten to death by debt collectors, so she... agreed to him.
But at this most critical moment, she was afraid.
Her father had taken the money and left, and she no longer had to worry about others.
In the city-state regulations [suicide is prohibited], she had the idea of suicide.
She reached for her arms - there was a silver six-pointed star pistol, which was a gift given to her by Akto before leaving. When she received the gift, her first reaction was not to protect herself, but ——[This pistol can be used to commit suicide].
The men on both sides pressed her shoulders roughly, and her hands touched the metal in her arms. Their vulgar words rang in her ears. It was hard to imagine that these people had higher personalities than her.
"Mom, why are you pretending? You're still a bitch..."
"Tear off her clothes for me. I don't believe she can be so strong naked."
...It’s over, Xiaomei thought.
She has been cowardly all her life, and she wants to be brave at the end of her life.
She closed her eyes and touched the safety catch with her finger, but suddenly she heard a loud noise.
"Bang——!"
The door was knocked open and the pulling on her stopped.
The room seemed to fall into an eerie silence, and even the rock music that was ringing in the ears stopped momentarily.
She seemed to have a premonition of something.
She slowly, slowly raised her head and saw the light falling outside - and the young man with always clear eyes.
He still looked directly at him quietly, his gaze was still level and respectful. She didn't feel disgusted because she looked awkward and even half of her body was exposed.
He suddenly appeared there, at the most critical moment.
He never shows contempt or disgust towards himself. It seemed that in his eyes, she was a woman who was always clean and equal, a soul with the same essence as him.
The young man who was an investor in the "Dream" Group next to him recognized this familiar figure on the TV screen at a glance.
The young master was so frightened that he took a few steps back and woke up from the wine.
Although the city-state does not explicitly prohibit this kind of body trading, as long as Xiaomei is really unwilling, it is illegal for them to force her. If his file is stained, it will be ruined for the rest of his life.
"City Lord, why are you here? Well, is there any of these dancers that you like? Are you also a frequent visitor here...?" A fat-headed young man on the side rubbed his hands and tried to change the subject.
The dancers on the dance floor were so frightened that they fell to the ground. They had seen the bloody scene of crucifixion on the screen during the day, and were frightened to death by Akto's cruel methods.
Su Ming'an didn't look at them, but stretched out his hand towards the girl who was deep in the scarlet sofa, as if trapped in a bloody vortex.
"Let's go, Xiaomei." He said.
His voice was always calm and his eyes were clear, as if he had not seen this dirty and chaotic scene or the purple scars on the girl's body.
Xiaomei's nose felt sore.
She stood up, and her whole body was trembling when she stood upright. She raised her feet and stepped on the soft carpet step by step. Her bare feet touched the fine down, and she was so cold that she coughed.
Her defense seemed to collapse suddenly, her nose twitched, and she cried loudly.
"...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I also want to cherish my own..."
"The white cat you left me is very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it can't compete with the world. I, I have no way to go..."
"I... I also want to grow up in the classroom, and I also want to have beautiful dreams, but they force me, and there are always people who force me... There seem to be many paths in life, but in fact I can't take any of them..."
"sorry Sorry sorry……"
"Yes." Su Ming'an waited for her to finish crying and said, "I know."
She leaned against his wheelchair and stood tremblingly, leaning on the armrest with all her strength.
The room was so quiet that it was almost dead, and the three young men were frozen in the room. There was still the lingering smell of alcohol on them.
In the corridor, the waiters who arrived were silent, and no one dared to offend the city lord.
The air solidified quietly, and the room was silent.
"——Then, do you want to punish them?" Su Mingan spoke softly while watching this dead scene.
The three young men all trembled in fright, their faces pale.
Their pleading eyes turned to Xiaomei, and the young master knelt down directly, completely losing his vulgar expression just now.
"Xiao Mei! We are a willing transaction! I gave your father a sum of money and let him fly away. How kind I am! I think about your family, you can't repay kindness with enmity! Please, please - —”
The young master's trembling sound echoed throughout the club. The doors on both sides were closed tightly, and the guests didn't even dare to play the music. Only his panicked and frightened voice echoed.
Xiaomei took a deep breath.
Her face was pale and sickly, and her condition seemed to be getting worse. The corner of her eyes was faintly crimson, like a raised red tail.
After a moment, she tilted her head:
"let's go."
"Excessive kindness is cowardice." Su Mingan said.
Xiaomei wiped off the bright lipstick on her lips, revealing some purple lips.
The white cat beside her jumped into her arms. She sank and reluctantly hugged it.
"This is indeed a deal between you and me. I just pretended to be noble." Xiaomei said.
"Well." Su Mingan said, "Let's go then."
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what she said. She saw clearly.
This is a transaction recognized by both parties. They want to use people to pay off their debts. However, this transaction is also illegal.
After putting on a pair of gloves, he pulled her and asked her to sit on the armrest of the wheelchair.
"Xiko, go to Central City." He said, "In addition, record the behavior of these people."
"Understood." The white light flashed, and the image of the blond and blue-eyed Xiko emerged, and its cold voice came out: "City-state resident No. O-1092, Morton, a resident of Tico Villa in the core area, violated Article 039 of the city-state law, the file is returned to Entered into criminal register. City-state residents No. T-1298, No. M-1982, have their personalities downgraded as accomplices."
After saying this, Xiko smiled gently at the three of them.
For a moment, its perfect smile looked a little sinister:
"Three of you, you can go back and pack your luggage. About tomorrow morning, the Eagle and Dog Army will come to take you to jail."
The three of them looked pale.
The young master in gold and silver was as motionless as if he had lost his soul, like an empty shell that had taken off his soul.
Xiaomei was stunned.
"The laws of the city-state cannot be violated. I just wanted to see your wishes. In the end, the answer was still very disappointing." Su Mingan said: "Let's go."
When his wheelchair turned around, the young master cried out like a collapse:
"City Lord, you can't do this! My family is an investment family of the Dream Group, and I am the heir to the family. If I go to jail, my future investments will be..."
"It's okay, there will be people with suitable personalities to take over your family's business." Su Mingan said calmly: "In my case, there is no such thing as a 'family business', there is only a combination of virtue and morality. The Dawn System has collected your criminal information. In the future, the judgment of personality will be more accurately adjusted, so that generations of worms will not... live in places with the best welfare."
Su Ming'an bit the word "moth" very hard. The young master's face turned pale when he heard this, and he slumped beside the door. The smell of alcohol on his body had disappeared.
The broken glass of the wine bottle pricked the young master's prostrate legs and knees, and bright red blood seeped out.
"Gululu——" The wheel rolled, and Xiaomei met the somewhat frightened gazes of the waiters.
She was sitting in the wheelchair sideways, with her legs dangling outside, leaning on the back of the wheelchair, and her body was so cold that she was shaking.
"Do you have a coat?" Su Mingan kowtowed at the bar.
The stunned waiter reacted and immediately found a black coat.
The coat was draped over Xiaomei's body, covering her exposed skin.
"Let's go." Su Mingan said.
The wheelchair drove on its own and drove out the door, and then—it lifted forward and leaped into the sky, leaving everything behind.
The feeling of weightlessness gradually came, and Xiaomei looked further and further away from the entertainment club that was like a devil's cave.
"You came to save me again." She said: "I once thought that I was rotten in the mud, rotten to the core, but you always came to save me.
Lord Asa, the distance between us is too great. I almost thought... this was a dream I had before committing suicide. "
"What you asked me before, I will answer you now." Su Mingan said: "Although I can't see thousands of people like you for the time being, now that I see you, I want to save at least one."
Xiaomei wiped away her tears and smiled:
"Then I am really lucky."
Su Mingan stared at the night sky calmly and heard the system prompt.
She is certainly lucky.
He was favored by the system prompts and was included in TE2. As one of the perfect passers, he was saved.
…
"Ding dong!"
[Perfect pass (TE2) progress: 65%]
…
Xiaomei is related to TE2 and can improve his perfect clearance progress. If she dies, the progress will most likely be lost.
He has planned to clear this TE quickly to take away the rule that "a copy can only have one perfect passer" to prevent others from being preempted, and then proceed to advance other TEs as appropriate to improve the perfect pass of SSS.
He saved Xiaomei, not only because she was Xiaomei, but Xiaomao, Xiaoxiao, Xiaocheng or anyone else, as long as it had anything to do with customs clearance, he would save her.
So far, the Dawn Code has obtained two people, one from Xiaomei's pendant, and one from the inexplicable "Lu Shu" in the ruined building in Central City. One tip is on Dong Anan and has not been obtained yet, and the remaining two are unknown.
There is still a long way to go.
"Lord Asa, I heard a lot of gossip about you on the street today. They said your execution methods were too cruel." Xiaomei's voice came.
When he turned his head, he saw her long hair being blown by the night wind, and the remaining makeup on her face decorated her long dark eyebrows.
"But I think you are obviously very gentle." She said.
"Gentle?" Su Mingan didn't expect that this kind of adjective could apply to herself.
When players speak to themselves, they are either full of awe, cautious, or short-tempered.
They call themselves "selfish", "great" and "arrogant".
… Few people would call themselves “gentle.”
