I am not a hero, but I fight side by side with heroes.

In the 18th arrondissement, Saladin's winter is boring and dry, making people's skin itchy and causing patches of hives to break out on their stomachs.
The cold air outside made pedestrians tremble all over, as if wearing more clothes was useless. The cold was like a vicious goblin, able to squeeze into coats and linings from between zippers and buckles. But when you walk into a warm room
Indoors, geothermal heating and air conditioning will quickly stretch the tight skin, so people will have many spots on their faces and bodies - some doctors often think this is Vita brand, but in fact it is not, it is just ordinary.
skin diseases.
At the beginning of February, this is the deep winter season in Saladin. All hunting and production activities have stopped, and the outdoor temperature in the town is close to minus 30 degrees. In this kind of weather, running around Yuehe Lake may turn into...
Human popsicles.
There are fewer and fewer customers from Feng Xiao Clinic. Xueming can't find any useful clues. He can only wait until the ice melts and go into the depths of the Elf Holy Land to find traces of Belloberg.
Without an appointment, Xueming ushered in the holiday and returned to the small inn with his doctor's bag and luggage. For the past ten days, he spent the night in St. Josh's house, and it always felt weird to make video calls with his wife.
It's a good thing to move back to the downtown area from the villa area, there are more fireworks in the world.
Returning to the front door of the inn, I saw from a distance that the owner of the pork shop had transformed the shop into a temporary small bar.
Xueming was not in a hurry to look for Oscar. He had nothing to do anyway, so he said hello to the pig-headed boss.
"Hey! Shopkeeper, why has your store changed?"
The name of the pig-headed man is Pavlov. His ancestors are Russians and he is also a descendant of the brave Red Stone people. He has a thick beard and the bristles on his face are thick, short and black. He was leaning on the door frame with his head down while browsing his mobile phone. He heard
When the priest shouted, he raised his head and looked at it——
"——In winter, the townspeople have enough food at home and usually don't go out. My store is used to entertain tourists and sell some wine."
Jiang Xueming: "Oh! How is business?"
Pavlov chuckled and said, "Of course that's good! How can I make wine if I don't make money?"
Jiang Xueming decided to inquire nearby: "Can I enter this tavern? Your area does not exclude Christians, right?"
"Father, do you also want to drink two drinks?" Pavlov's eyes lit up and he made way for the porch: "Come on, come on, you're welcome. I'll treat you to the first drink."
Xueming strode to the shop. When he entered the door, he saw a simple counter. The stone table where the pork was usually cut was cleaned by the boss. At this moment, several beauties from Meng Paris came to work as part-time workers and received a transfer.
A part-time job as a sommelier. Pavlov's business is very particular - the inside and outside of the store have been cleaned and deodorized by a housekeeping company, making it very clean.
There are two card tables squeezed into the small salon on the northeast side of the tavern, where the hunters of the hunting group pass the time. On the southwest side is a mini KTV stage. Last time, the mayor's nephew led a few classmates to gather together.
.
Looking at the counter, Oscar was sitting there. The two little wolves next to him were doing homework. Brother Lang was still preparing the teaching content for the next stage. The table was covered with books.
Xueming did not bother Brother Lang immediately. He found a chair nearby, ordered a glass of vodka from the bartender sister, and sat among the people playing cards.
He watched for about ten minutes without taking the initiative to speak. Until a nice guy in the crowd of onlookers beside him took the initiative to ask.
"Hey! Father! You want to play two games too? Play three cards! It's very simple!"
This Dou Sanzhang is a scam in China. Most of the workers in Saladin Town are European and American. They have different opinions.
"I won't play..." Jiang Xueming looked embarrassed.
The younger brother responded: "You are so excited when you are not playing cards? Father, are you worried?"
Xueming followed the trend and spoke out his appeal——
"——This thing is simple to say. I came to Saladin to treat Benny. Later, Dr. Maguire provided some clues."
When talking about Dr. Maguire, the hunters no longer smiled playfully, but all had serious expressions.
Xueming continued: "He has a stone tablet with runes. This thing should be able to cure Benny's madness."
With that said, Xueming took out the diary from the doctor's bag and showed the portrait to the hunters - this was not the first time he asked about clues about the stone tablet. Maguire could draw the specific shape of the inscription.
The hunters watched for a long time, asking each other for clues, but in the end they all shook their heads and sighed, without further explanation.
"Why don't you ask Ryuk!" An energetic voice came from the crowd: "Father! Dr. Maguire told you about the origin of this stone tablet. He got it from the explorer. The thirty thousand miles
The tunnel at the outpost is not far from the settlement of the Silver Helmet Hunting Group! Maybe Captain Ryuk knows something!"
This enthusiastic hunter had a strong English accent and was Italian, but Xueming still understood it. The pronunciation of "Lyuk" actually refers to "Luca" - Xueming actually didn't want to face Luca.
Leader, because they have met more than once.
During the expedition, Luca was the staff officer of the First Traffic Department Commander, and was later transferred to the 18th District to serve as the regional commander of the battle group. Now he has joined the Silver Helmet Hunting Group as the group leader. It seems that he has joined the offensive team to shine.
Having a fever is actually finding a place for yourself to retire.
Moreover, Mr. Luka's eyes are very vicious. If the two meet again, Xueming doesn't know if his fake identity can hide from the eyes of his staff.
"Shall I ask on your behalf?" Brother Oscar suddenly crowded around Xueming, seeming to notice something fishy.
Jiang Xueming: "No trouble..."
Oscar seemed to have some misunderstanding: "I know that you are a quiet person, so you are afraid that you won't be able to get into the hunting group, right? I'll go, I'll go! I'm good at finding things!"
The items found by the hunting group in the wilderness should all belong to the hunting group. There are only a few historical heritages that have no economic value and only a little cultural value, such as the rune stone tablets that the priest wants. The hunting group will take the initiative to hand them over.
In the hands of the secret library.
In Oscar's eyes, the priest wanted to ask for help from the Silver Helmet Hunting Group, but he looked coy. He must be too embarrassed to climb Mr. Luca's high branches. Orientals are like this.
Brother Wolf ran out in a flash, leaving two little wolf children behind.
In just ten minutes, three old acquaintances burst in from outside the gate——
——That's Big B, Andro and Schopenhauer who were paroled.
Ajie didn't come, he didn't want to go out.
In the eyes of the hunters, these three criminals became good brothers who helped to open up wasteland and explore. In the eyes of the Spinach Highland transportation team, they were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the team and climbed towers to repair cables. Their status was equivalent to giving you a shot in the summer.
There is a take-out restaurant on the floor and a stepfather-like existence who pays the electricity bill for your air conditioner.
Schopenhauer walked to the counter as soon as he walked in. His neck no longer hurt, and his waist was no longer sore. He couldn't walk when he saw sister Louise. It seemed that in the days when Xueming couldn't notice, he finally and
The girl who dreams of Paris wants to correct her results.
Big B still had a gloomy and worried look on his face, and he didn't bother to be polite to others. He went directly to the priest, talked about his recent troubles, and asked the priest to work overtime.
"Father, I'm still worried."
Jiang Xueming: "Do you have psychological problems?"
Big B: "Yes. I've been feeling uneasy lately. Saladin is a good place. I live happily here. But in the spring, I have to go to the Inquisition to meet my death sentence..."
Jiang Xueming: "Well, there are a lot of people here, let's talk somewhere else?"
With that said, Xueming took Big B outside the door and asked Boss Pavlov to come in.
Pavlov immediately became unhappy: "What's wrong? I'm here to solicit customers!"
Jiang Xueming bluntly said: "Are you too confident in your appearance?"
Pavlov: "No! Aren't my guests coming in to buy wine because I'm handsome?"
Big B: "Hahahahaha!"
...
...
Under the porch, Xueming and Big B asked about business.
"What sins have you committed before? In this small pavilion, you use this place as a confession room. I am your priest. If you have anything to say, you can tell me clearly."
"I have killed people, many, many people." Big B sat on the porch, with his back to the street. "The court will definitely not let me go. David Victor only needs to take a brief look to know that I will inevitably die."
"
Jiang Xueming: "Tell me in detail?"
Big B: "I used to be a newsboy for the Eighteenth District Religion. I first sent information about new recruits to armadillo hunters."
Jiang Xueming: "The nameless mistress was also a newsboy."
Big B: "It's different. Some hunters are timid and don't dare to take action directly. I've spotted this opportunity to expand my business. For example, novice armadillo hunters dare not rob. I will help lead the way and help rob.
After taking away the panacea and the diary, we have to form a gang to intimidate these newcomers - to tell them to be honest and not to report the crime."
Jiang Xueming smiled and said: "Then you really deserve to die."
Big B: "Some big shots from the war gang thought highly of me and wanted me to join the Red Jack Circus. I had no psychic talent at that time. Thanks to the old man from the cult who fed me meat - you know what meat, it should be
The essence of a blood-giving monster."
"I envy the passengers at the station. They have the talent, courage and confidence to follow the Morpho butterfly's transformation path to realize their personal value. But I don't have that kind of talent, and jealousy distorts me."
"Early on, there were four major religions in the 18th district. There were more than 20 platform zeros built by various pheasants. For example, before the Anonymous became famous, the Skull and Bones Society that was wiped out in the early years was just a minion among minions.
I thought I had a bright future."
"I went through life and death for the Red Jack Circus, killed people and looted goods for the cult, fought for territory and robbed beasts. As far as the murders I can remember, there should be six home invasions. I can't even remember the street fights. Everyone took advantage of them.
They were shooting around with guns, but who knows how many they killed?"
"It wasn't until the Traffic Department and the war group came with the Anonymous to suppress bandits in the 18th District. The first person they killed was Hercules, and the war group dispersed. I hid, not daring to face the scorching sun."
Jiang Xueming: "It sounds like your mental state is very normal - these are the judgments of normal people. You are a very qualified and self-aware criminal, unlike some perverts, such as George Joshua who was recently punished.
, this guy still believed that he was carrying out a just cause before he died."
"Father, are you praising me?" Big B didn't understand.
Jiang Xueming: "No, I just evaluate your mental state based on your one-sided words. You know what you have done and your psychological flaws, which is a good thing."
Big B continued: "After so many years, I want to find a start-up capital in the town of Saladin to rebuild the war gang's platform."
Jiang Xueming; "I'm afraid this is just a fantasy."
Big B asked: "Is it so whimsical?"
Jiang Xueming: "Yes, before you can raise your flag, Qingjin will kick your door in. Now that they are busy, you are completely confused about the workplace anxiety of regional battle groups and local police forces - when a department is completely
When I have no work to do, I am as excited as I am when I meet criminals like you."
Big B sighed and continued: "Later I realized that this place seemed good, and I might be able to live here forever."
"It's also whimsical..." Jiang Xueming gently patted Big B on the shoulder: "When people do something wrong, they have to admit their mistakes and be punished."
"Well..." Big B finally understood where the anxiety in his heart came from. It was a sense of panic that the end was approaching. The more comfortable he was in Saladin, the stronger his desire for life. The emptiness brought by death
Gradually driving him crazy, this countdown is like the summoning bell in the hand of death, forcing him to make a choice all the time - to leave this warm town and escape into the wilderness.
"Don't mention this anymore, Father." Big B talked about spiritual problems: "I still have some psychological problems that I want to consult with you."
Jiang Xueming: "Please."
Big B: "I haven't done anything recently, but I always feel tired..."
Jiang Xueming: "Give me your phone."
Big B handed over his cell phone——
——Jiang Xueming looked at each app and deleted them one by one.
Quanqin mobile games were smashed one by one, and the user accounts of marginal short video users were logged out.
Azure Ship Line, Arknights, FGO and Onmyoji were all wiped out.
The social post bar Twitter Bluebird was uninstalled directly, and Xueming’s finger finally hovered over Genshin Impact.
Big B’s eyes are full of reluctance and pleading——
"——I have been playing for so long... spent so much money... no... no no no..."
Xueming sent the phone back, and there was no need for a hammer this time.
"I said, why are you tired? It turns out that your body is in jail all day long, and your spirit is also in jail, right?"
Big B argued: "Games are an art outside of the eight major arts. This is my personal hobby..."
Xueming didn't argue. He asked Big B about another matter.
"Do you know how much time you have?"
Big B counted on his fingers and immediately responded: "I will definitely not survive the summer, and the stones I have saved will not be used. I will not see new card pools and swimsuits."
Xueming pointed to the tavern behind him, where Schopenhauer and Louise were chatting animatedly——
"——Is he the same as you?"
Big B immediately responded: "Yes, the same."
Xueming: "What the hell is the same!? People know that their time is running out and they are still trying hard to pick up girls! You should wake up!"
...
...
Oscar brought reliable news that the Silver Helmet Hunting Group had indeed discovered a set of rune-patterned stone tablets related to the spirit of Beloberg.
Andro's face still hasn't regained its human appearance. He has degenerated from a blood-giving unit into a beast hybrid and into a lizard hybrid.
Jiang Xueming finished psychological counseling for Big B and was about to go to the hunting group meeting place with Brother Lang to look for clues. Andro found Xueming privately and asked the priest to stay.
The leader of the war gang asked two things furtively, and also wanted Xueming to continue working overtime.
"I think I have some psychological problems, Father, I want to ask..."
Xueming just chatted with Andro on the cold road.
"Please."
Andro asked in a low voice: "I seem to remember something before... I didn't dare to tell others."
"It's just...in Spinach Heights, I remember I wasn't like this, because...it was...there was a very scary demon who fought with me, I remember..."
Jiang Xueming: "No, no, you don't remember."
During the life-and-death battle between Andro and Jodi, he suffered too many injuries. These physical injuries also brought about extremely strong and profound painful memories, making it difficult for him to forget Jodi's existence.
Andro continued: "After I came back from Spinach Heights, this little sister Benny has been holding on to me. She said I was a hero, but I clearly remember that I should not be a hero... I was just with a
Stronger heroes fighting side by side...but I can't remember it."
"You must be sick and have a plague." Jiang Xueming scolded in a cold voice: "Next question."
"Then don't talk about this, Father." Andro grinned, showing his sharp fangs: "There has been a strange thing recently, I don't know much about it, tsk..."
"As soon as I saw that little girl Benny, my heartbeat started to speed up for no reason. I thought I was sick. Later, Dr. Maguire said that I was in good health! Even among mixed breeds, I can live to be over fifty.
years of longevity."
"Oh my God, what on earth is going on?"
Jiang Xueming hesitated to speak, and made a few gestures first.
Later he felt it was not polite, so he said.
"Unnecessary estrus can be donated to lizard people in need."
