Swish, swish, swish, the night sky seemed to be split by lightning, and the heavy rain rushed down, washing the old houses and alleys in this dilapidated city.
The dim yellow light swaying from the broken street lamp slightly illuminated three skateboard figures speeding past.
"Sister Ayasha, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the night fog has been washed away."
Xing Bao asked worriedly, "You are going to use Night Mist to display your abilities. Should we move to a place with less rain?"
"I don't have that time."
Ayasha kicked the ground alternately with her feet, colorful hair flew and water splashed on the ground.
Although the alleyway was rough and slippery, and the yellow long board often seemed to flip out of control, she always stepped on it and slid sideways through another alleyway corner.
"Those gangsters are very strong and fast. We have to have some luck this time." Ayasha said.
Xing Bao immediately grimaced, "I believe in probability more than luck... Probability actually likes us more."
Lei Yue followed closely behind him. After listening to this, he couldn't help but ask Xing Bao a question he had had for a long time:
"Actually, what urban legend does Ayasa resonate with?"
"Night Mist Girl!" Xing Bao immediately replied, and said it again in English:
"Night Mists Girl, one of the most famous urban legends in Spread City, belongs to the Thieves family."
"Stealing people?"
Lei Yue raised his brows and already knew six categories:
kidnapping, strange person, thief
champion, killer, clown
"The characteristics of thieves are related to stealth and stealing. They are elusive, like thieves and assassins."
Xing Bao explained while pedaling on the slippery alley with his short legs:
"Spread City is very large and is divided into many areas. Different areas overlap with different worlds.
"So there are a lot of 'mirages' there. As you walk, you may encounter the overlapping scenery of the city. Especially when it is foggy at night, it looks like the streets are full of ghosts.
"This phenomenon has given rise to many urban legends, and the Night Mist Girl is a representative one."
Xingbao's tone was a bit proud, something he had never done when talking about Lackey:
"According to legend, the Night Mist Girl can travel through all realms and drag people into ghost doors to make them disappear.
"The Night Mist Girl collects secrets, whether they are doors or things.
"When you walk on the streets of Night Mist, any phantom you encounter may be the Night Mist Girl.
"If you really meet her, you have to tell her a secret, so that Ye Mist Girl will let you go."
Xingbao looked at the colorful-haired girl leading not far in front. Her agile and heroic figure really made her feel inferior to herself:
"Sister Ayasha is the first night mist girl in the history of resonance. She seems to be born just for this legend!"
Lei Yue understood now and said:
"So, Night Mist Girl can find the ghost door."
She can even see his empty card state, Ayasha can see through the essence of things...
"It's usually like that." Xing Bao added, "The bigger the fog, the stronger her power, but now the rain is getting heavier and the fog is getting smaller.
"Besides, Sister Lingsha is also tired. She has been running all day today." Xingbao sighed.
Lei Yue was also looking at Lingsha who was leading the way. He had just fought with the cops before and might have been injured...
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with anxiety and anxiety.
Don't harm everyone just because of yourself.
Lei Yue looked at the silent crow on his left shoulder and asked in a suppressed voice:
"Friend, where is the ghost door? Can you lead the way? We need your help now."
However, the crow was still standing on its shoulders, its huge claws clawing fiercely, constantly sounding the alarm, but it did not fly to lead the way.
As if to say, this is it, the way forward is here.
But Ayasha turned around the small alleys and glanced around, looking at the roads, walls and houses, but still found nothing.
"Friends!" Lei Yue couldn't help shouting, "Tell me, aren't we friends!?"
The crow stood still, but its claws hooked harder.
Lei Yue looked around and seemed to see that everything around him was as dark as its feathers.
A cracking pain flashed through his head, and a low, almost unsuppressable voice came from the bottom of his heart, hoarse and weird:
"Why are you running? Those are just trash fish.
"As long as you want, they will all turn into a pile of rotten meat and kill them!"
“It’s time to debut, it’s taken so many years and so long.
"If you want to control the situation, then think carefully about what 'the crow flies home' is, think about it!"
Lei Yue turned his head and saw the strange man appearing beside him. He was face to face with the shadow-shrouded, blurry and rotten strange man's face.
"Ah!" He was startled and almost fell off the skateboard because of the slippery road.
At the same time, the laughter-like voices of some children became clearer and came from the long past.
"No, no, shut up..."
Lei Yue shook his head vigorously, and the water droplets on his black hair were thrown away.
Grandma's kind words also came to mind: Xiao Yue, the person who calls you a monster is a monster.
"No, shut up everyone!"
Lei Yue roared, his whole body was numb, and he had to stop his skateboard and lean against the alley wall to prevent himself from falling.
The ruined face was hit by the heavy rain and became colder and colder.
"Huh?" Xing Bao was startled, looked at Lei Yue who was breathing slightly with surprise, and asked:
"Brother, Sister Hua just said that your brain is not normal...isn't that a metaphor?"
"Are you looking for this?" Ayasha heard the noise, turned around and slid back, took out a bottle of medicine from the big pocket of her sweater and shook it.
Through the dim light, Lei Yue saw that it was his bottle of olanzapine, and she also brought it...
Suddenly, Ayasha threw the medicine bottle in her hand and threw it into a black trash can beside the alley wall.
"Just do what you should do, keep up!"
She said, restarting the skateboard.
"Hey," Xing Bao widened his already round eyes, "Would it be safer to take some medicine?"
"No, there's no need." Lei Yue said in a muffled voice and pedaled down the water-logged alleyway.
The rain was splashing, and he followed Ayasha.
"Maybe it's because I'm young and ignorant." Xing Bao had no choice but to follow, "I often feel like I can't keep up with your ideas!"
"Xingbao, can you stop talking for now..."
Lei Yue had a headache again, and the boxes in his heart were shaking in rows, "I don't want to hear the voices of children right now..."
Just when Xing Bao's face was full of questions, suddenly, whether it was the sound of conversation, the sound of heavy rain or other sounds, they were all covered by the deep and heavy banging of gunshots.
"...!"
Lei Yue turned back and looked in the direction of his hometown bar warehouse, where gunshots rang out continuously.
Accompanied by the gunfire, there was also the vague mohawk's shouting like a drunken maniac, and the scream of a woman who didn't know whether it was Sister Hua or Ginny, all came from the swaying black rain.
He felt that his heart was being torn into pieces, and it was more painful than he had expected.
In my hometown bar, everyone has been laughing together these days, filming CULT movies together, and planning the future together.
Whether it is making money or dreaming, those futures shine with a light that I have never seen before...
He wants to realize that future with these friends.
Lei Yue turned around suddenly and rushed back to his hometown bar.
"Hey, brother, you are running away now!"
Xing Bao quickly jumped off the skateboard to hold Lei Yue.
But she couldn't pull her back with all her hands, and her little body was dragged back by him, hanging behind him like a koala.
Ayasha also stopped, but not just because Lei Yue wanted to go back.
Instead, the fluctuations of rain and fog become different.
She looked up and saw that all the raindrops above the alley had changed their trajectory, and were blasted around by a huge force.
Boom!!
A sonic boom-like sound was deafening, covering all movement in the alley.
Lei Yue was stunned, and at the same time he instinctively looked up, and his mood was immediately shocked by a wave of surprise.
It was a figure in red, like a fighter jet, suspended in mid-air, cutting through the rain and light at extremely fast speeds.
Before the loud noise ended, the figure had already landed in front of the three of them, less than ten steps away, blocking the way forward.
The buildings on both sides were crumbling, and a woman in her twenties stood in the alley in the middle.
She was wearing a red trench coat and an agent uniform, with a strong figure and a leather gun belt equipped with multiple pistols.
In her hands, she already held a heavy silver pistol in each hand. When she landed, she also raised two pistols and pointed them here.
The woman in red had an expressionless face and sharp eyes, and said in a strong and resonant voice:
"Lei Yue, I am Lin Hongyun, deputy captain of the shotgun case investigation team of the Special Investigation Bureau.
"Because you are suspected of participating in this case and causing overlapping changes in the world, now we want to arrest you.
"We will first inject you with anesthetic to put you into a deep sleep state, completely stop your thinking and consciousness activities, and try to end the resonance of the other dimension.
"You may wake up, or you may sleep forever.
"This result is uncontrollable, but this is a measure that must be taken at the moment, because you may be causing a world-class disaster. I hope you can understand."
Lei Yue looked at the woman in red, and the various buzzing auditory hallucinations in his ears became more and more serious, making him feel a little dizzy.
The heavy rain hit the rotten face like sulfuric acid.
Tiaozi, really Tiaozi, just like Ayasha guessed...
"Wait a minute!" Xing Bao shouted anxiously, "Isn't this against the procedures of the Investigation Bureau?"
She had no intention of persuading the other party, it was just delaying time.
She tightened her safety helmet, held up the large camouflage water gun in her hand, and looked around.
The gunshots at the bar stopped for a while, and there must be policemen coming from behind. The alley is blocked, what should I do?
"Special circumstances, special handling." Lin Hongyun responded, her hands holding the gun as steady as a rock in the rain.
"Oh, this is the reason why you want to kill him. There is nothing new."
Ayasha sneered, her laughter full of disdain and teasing:
“Thunderbolt may cause disaster? Possibly?
"I also think it might be your pursuit of Lei Yue that caused the door to the world to open and then cause a disaster. Okay, you can commit suicide now."
Lin Hongyun's eyes were even more fierce, but she didn't say anything for a while.
At this time, at the other end of the alley, several other figures in agent uniforms appeared, all holding firearms and surrounding the dark alley.
Xing Bao muttered anxiously, "Oh no, no, no."
Lei Yue looked at the woman in front and the agents behind him.
The buzzing sound was even louder, and some scenes from the past were leaking out of the box uncontrollably.
He felt his feet shaking, and his body was numb and painful, unable to move or speak...
"Aren't you willing to commit suicide?"
Ayasa smiled again, her face held high under her colorful hair, and she didn't even look at the other person:
"In the end, this has nothing to do with nonsense like protecting world peace.
"You just don't take other people's lives seriously, only your own life matters.
"You talk so much nonsense because you want to kill someone and feel that you are doing the right thing because of your moral superiority, right? But you won't get what you want."
Ayasha let out a string of crisp laughter, stared at the woman in red, and asked:
"Tell me, if the world is a good place, why do people like us still exist?
"If the world is not good, why can't it change?
"Each of us proves that there is something wrong with the world you protect.
"And your way of solving the problem is to clean us up like sweeping away trash, out of sight but out of mind.
"Are you a lackey of the people in power, or are you the people in power themselves?"
The rainstorm continued to fall even harder. Lin Hongyun's expression seemed to have changed slightly, but it didn't seem to have changed at all. Her upright voice became hoarse:
"You are too extreme, you don't understand the situation, whatever you want to say...someone has to do some things.
"Lei Yue, we have to say sorry to you first."
Suddenly, before Lin Hongyun could finish her words, thick night fog enveloped the entire alley, all figures were blurred, and there were overlapping phantoms everywhere.
Ayasha turned into a phantom and rushed away. Thorns seemed to fly out of her right hand, and the thorny black shadow shattered every drop of rainwater.
The yellow skateboard seemed to be under her feet, but also in her hand. The sharp blade protruding from the skateboard cut through the remaining light of the street lamp.
Over there, the expressions of several special agents who came over changed slightly, and every fighting nerve was tense.
Regardless of Le Zai, Wen Nu or Xiao Zhi, they immediately waved their guns and kept moving to aim, but they did not dare to shoot casually.
Otherwise, I really don’t know who will be hit, maybe even myself.
Night Mist Girl!
At Fulong Village before, she just ran and didn't fight.
But now, she wants to fight, she wants to fight tooth and nail.
