Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

January 1, 2228

Just after 0 o'clock

New Year's Eve fireworks activities have begun all over the city as usual. With the ringing of bells and fireworks flying into the sky, the new year has arrived again. Everyone looks up and enjoys the beautiful and short-lived fireworks blooming in the night sky. Fireworks.

Last year was a disturbing and painful year, but the economy began to improve in the second half of the year. The number of newborns increased explosively throughout last year, and the subsidy for newborns was also very high. Many families have a new baby arriving.

Many families can be seen on the street, with women holding their children and their husbands accompanying them. Many people are making wishes that this year will be better and better.

Along with a scream, several women who were stopping on the street to admire the beautiful fireworks in the night sky had their bags in their hands snatched away by several men who suddenly came over.

"Robbery, robbery."

Some people around who reacted just looked at them indifferently. The four women chased them out, and many people got out of the way. No one was willing to help, because if they were caught, they would probably be retaliated against.

Last year, a case that shocked society occurred. A family of three was kidnapped. The husband died tragically, while the wife was insulted and the child was seriously injured. This was all because a robbery gang was caught by the male owner while robbing the female owner of the house. , as a result, this family suffered vicious revenge from this gang.

The moment a robber was about to disappear into the alley, he felt his vision go dark, and then he hit an electric pole on the street and fainted.

"Eric, Dabiao."

Niya shouted while biting her cigarette, and the Lightning Skull people behind her chased after them. The other three robbers had already run into different alleys, and Olivia chased after them.

"Look at this bastard, I'm going after that."

Niya said and jumped to the roof and started running quickly. He kept shuttling between these floors, looking for the target. Xiong Dabiao and Eric had already chased the other two people, and the other people in the guild were also following. Chased in different directions.

Niya looked around anxiously. Soon Niya saw a man running in an alley not far away. Niya ran over with a smile, but the robber stopped. At the door of a five-story building, he knocked on the door pantingly. Niya fell directly, grabbed the robber by the back of his collar, and pulled him out.

"Fuck you"

Niya pulled the man without saying a word, and at the moment when he was about to reach the end, she hit him hard with her right elbow. The man's eyes widened, and he fainted in the next second.

"You have wasted so much effort on my part, you idiot, do you really think you can escape my pursuit?"

Niya said with a smile. At this time, several people came out of the room, all of them looked fierce.

"Damn it, you bitch, you're looking for death."

Immediately, several people rushed out, some with weapons in hand, and one of them seemed to be a mutant. Niya directly dodged the opponent's attack, spit out the smoke in her mouth, and suddenly hugged the opponent's fist, without a trace. An unceremonious flying knee blow directly knocked the opponent away, and then Niya jumped over, knocking several people to the ground in less than a few minutes.

At this time, several guild members rushed over, one of them holding a phone.

"I have already reported the crime to Niya. This place should be a den of thieves."

"You stinking bitch, just wait for me. I will definitely want you when I come out."

Click

Niya clenched her fists and walked over directly.

"Then let me beat you until you don't dare to rob anymore."

Several people wanted to hold Niya, but Niya had already pulled the other person up, punched the other person in the face unceremoniously, pushed him to the ground and beat him furiously until Niya was Pulling away, the man named clamor was already motionless.

"Don't worry, Sissi, I can control my strength."

The woman named Sissi immediately looked at Niya with disdain, and Niya took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket with a smile.

"Come rub me again."

Niya took the cigarette and ran away. At this time, a man had received the news, and both Eric and Xiong Dabiao caught the robber.

After nearly 20 minutes passed, people from Section 5 finally came over. The person who came over was a team leader, and he immediately recognized this group of people.

"It's you again, you really like to be nosy."

Olivia snorted coldly.

"That's not because you didn't do anything. Kind-hearted citizens can only stare at you after being robbed."

"Be careful what you say. This is not your business. Do you hear me clearly? Just report it directly next time and we will send someone to deal with it."

Some people from Section 5 entered the house and searched around, but found nothing.

"Sir, they beat people indiscriminately. I don't know this robber."

A person who was beaten by Niya immediately started crying and asked for a lawyer. Niya gritted her teeth and rushed over angrily.

"Damn it, you were the one who attacked me first, you bastards"

"Take them all with me."

Following the squad leader's order, Niya, Xiong Dabiao, Eric, Sissi, Violet and more than a dozen Lightning Skeletons were handcuffed and taken directly to the management vehicle.

"A bunch of scum!"

Niya cursed, and a clerk behind her hit Niya with a stick. Niya turned her head angrily, and the clerk behind her was startled. Xiong Dabiao and Eric hurriedly suppressed Niya. .

A group of them have done this kind of thing countless times. Every time, the people in Section 5 are the same, extremely disorganized and irresponsible. Many cases in which they have arrested people in the past have not yet been resolved.

Although everyone knows that times have changed, the changes are so drastic that it is somewhat surprising. The society that used to be stable and prosperous is now full of crime and corruption.

Olivia carefully observed the robbery gang in the management car in front. They seemed to have a good relationship with the members of the team's operational department. From the way they were talking, Olivia knew what was going on. The thing is, they just went in for a search, but in fact it was just a cover.

"Don't make a fuss later, Niya, you idiot, this will only play into the opponent's hands."

Niya laughed disapprovingly.

The 37 people in their guild have been working all last year and have accumulated a lot of money. Now they can take on some jobs, ranging from working as bodyguards to helping some residents handle some things.

Niya's face gradually showed a smile again. Every time she saw these ugly things, a group of people would always take action. They took root in Area 51, which is in the south of the middle level and close to the lower level. Now they have a small presence in this area. Got famous.

Soon two large management vehicles entered the Area 51 Public Security Management Office, and a bunch of people were called into a large interrogation room. At this time, someone in the interrogation room noticed Niya, but was not sure whether it was her. It seemed that she was still there. However, Zai recognized that the two seriously injured ones had been sent to the hospital first. The group of people were talking and laughing in the interrogation room, seemingly not worried about what would happen next.

"Looks like he's a repeat offender."

"Tell me, what's going on? We went into the house to investigate and found nothing. Are you drunk and causing trouble?"

Niya just started to look up, and Xiong Dabiao stood up angrily before she could say anything.

"You farted and blinded your eyes. Where are the three people who robbed you?"

"sit down."

The squad leader took out the stick from his back and walked over. Xiong Dabiao stared at him with eyes like bells.

"Fuck it, go and look for it now. If you can't find any evidence, I'm willing to go to jail for 30 years."

For a moment, several people stood up, and the squad leader hit Xiong Dabiao with a stick. But the next second, Xiong Dabiao broke the handcuffs and pinched the squad leader's head with one hand, and red particles began to float. , the interrogation room was in chaos for a while.

"You trash, aren't you funny?"

Niya stood up directly and kicked the table. With a loud bang, the table was overturned. Several members of the robbery gang who were laughing across the way suddenly fell to their backs, wailing and covering their bodies, and fell to the ground. , Niya broke free from the handcuffs, jumped over, picked up a man who had just smiled mockingly at them, and punched him, knocking out his front teeth. The man begged, and Niya beat him hard. It fell on the table.

Within a few minutes, the sirens rang, and several of the officers who had gathered around were beaten to the ground by Xiong Dabiao. A large number of Section 5 officers began to flock to the interrogation room and were equipped with weapons.

"It seems like things are getting serious."

Xiong Dabiao said with a smile. Everyone raised their hands and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. The members of the administrative department outside had already spoken. If they continued to resist, they would be shot to death.

Soon a large number of department staff rushed in, directly held Niya and the others down, and put on collars specially designed for mutants. The team leader, who was beaten by Xiong Dabiao until his nose was bleeding, came over with a stick.

"Take care of them for me. I want to see how strong your bones are today."

"you dare!"

Niya stood up angrily. For a moment, the threat came again, but soon followed by a burst of hurried footsteps, the local regional officer ran over panting.

"What do you idiots want to do to Miss Niya?"

For a moment, all the officers in the room looked at Niya in shock. The officer glanced at the scene and hurriedly ran over.

"Oh, it must be a misunderstanding, Miss Niya, you pigheads, don't you even know Miss Niya from the Angus family? Have you eaten shit?"

Niya turned her head with a serious expression. She hated people mentioning her identity. If such a matter could be easily solved based on her identity, there would be no need for the laws of Brilliant City to exist.

0:45

Niya and Xiong Dabiao walked out of the Public Security Office of Section 5. The robbery gang had been convicted, and Tamai personally called.

"Oh, Miss Niya, all friends of Miss Niya, I'm really sorry. Those idiots really don't know how to do things. I'll treat you to a drink another day."

Niya walked quickly in silence, and a bunch of people followed her.

"No matter how hard you try to hide it, you are still Nia Angus. Now the Angus family gives 5 subjects an aid every month, which is not a small amount. No one can get along with the money."

"You idiot, I'm not thinking about these things."

Olivia slapped Eric on the back, Sissi kicked him directly, and Xiong Dabiao laughed.

"I was thinking that I would only become more depraved in the future."

Everyone knows what Niya is referring to. Today’s members of the administrative department are no longer the same as before. Many people even miss the past administrative department. Although they are unkind and harsh in many cases, in general It is relatively fair, but today's practice is completely different.

Some members of the administrative department often receive private benefits from ordinary people, and they will not do anything without money. They are very sloppy and lazy.

"It may take a lifetime to change some bad habits, but it only takes a few days to develop a bad habit."

A sound came from around everyone, and the alley was filled with other members of the guild.

"Coach Rose!"

A bunch of people shouted respectfully, and Rose walked over and grabbed Niya's face.

"You idiot, use your pig brain and think about it. The means and methods of dealing with things are not just fists and roars."

"It's not my fault, it's just that they bullied people too much."

Rose sighed helplessly.

"A prick like you is annoying everywhere. After all, you have been a nuisance since you were a child."

Nia was about to say something, but Rose immediately pointed to the edge.

"Just run over there tonight. Whoever is the slowest will be punished. Drinking and gambling are not allowed during the Chinese New Year."

Whoosh

Niya had already rushed out first, and only then did the others react.

"You're being clever like that again, you idiot."

Olivia rushed out quickly, and Rose watched a bunch of people running. The place he asked them to run to was the stinking area at the edge of the south. This is the collective name of the area close to the ravine area. .

Rose laughed and jumped slowly and gently to the roof, yellow particles floating in the air.

"Don't cheat, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"Idiot, I must be the first one to arrive."

Niya looked at an oncoming subway with a smile and got on it directly. If you take a running car, it will take at least half an hour to 40 minutes, but if you take the subway, it only takes more than ten minutes because the subway goes by The most fringe station only takes less than 10 minutes.

Everyone was not used to Rose's teaching methods at first, because Rose would always suddenly ask them to do some weird things, and she would always act unreasonably. The same goes for combat training. Everyone They don't quite understand what Rose wants to do.

Rose taught them that the way to fight was completely different from the past. They often had to fight and answer some questions at the same time. Many times there was no way to do both, and if the person who couldn't finish the job was usually the last one, Everyone will be punished, and they need to clean up for others or are not allowed to drink, gamble, etc., and all entertainment activities are prohibited.

And the most important thing is that Rose always appears every now and then, which catches everyone off guard, and she always appears in unexpected places.

"I'll be the first to arrive."

When the subway just arrived, Niya ran out of the subway station, then jumped directly onto a three-story building and ran quickly towards the southern edge.

In a relatively open old square, Nia stopped and sat on the ground panting. There was only a dim street light on the square. In less than a minute, Eric and Olivia The two of them also came over.

"Why are you two so fast?"

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

"Guess who is last this time?"

"It must be Dabiao."

Eric and Niya answered in unison. In the following time, the members of the guild arrived one after another. As expected, there was no trace of Xiong Dabiao. In terms of speed, Xiong Dabiao was really average, because he was already He is burly and has a huge body, but his speed is average.

"Very good, everyone is here, not bad."

Suddenly, everyone looked towards the middle of the square. Rose suddenly appeared. Everyone was startled. Sure enough, Xiong Dabiao finally ran over panting.

"Why are you all so fast? Didn't you almost finish last, Niya?"

Xiong Dabiao asked, and Rose came over.

"The person whose name I called comes forward."

"Niya, Eric, Olivia, Sissi, Zhang Cheng"

Soon after Rose finished reading the names of 15 people, she asked them to stand on the left side.

"Okay, now there are 15 of you. You are not allowed to engage in any entertainment activities in the next seven days. Come to my restaurant to help. I will introduce you to other restaurants to work without a dime of salary."

"I was the first one to arrive. Rose, what's wrong with you?"

"Idiot, what did I mean when I told you to run over here and take the subway?"

For a while, a bunch of people looked a little confused.

"We don't."

Eric immediately started to boo, and Rose walked over, grabbed him by the collar and said.

"The oxygen content in your body, the chemical changes in your brain, including hormones, and body energy changes are not like those of people who exercise for thirty or forty minutes. It only takes five minutes at most. From that subway station to here Come on, about three minutes is enough.”

"You can say whatever you want, mother."

Rose laughed.

"Let's go. If you don't want to admit it, I will tell you the specific numerical changes in your body after exercise. Then you can test the chemical changes in your body after running for three or four minutes. Then, after running for another thirty minutes, Test it again and you will know if what I said is correct. Besides, there is monitoring, do you need me to call it?"

Niya was speechless and looked awkwardly at the more than 20 people running over in earnest. Xiong Dabiao stared at them with an angry look on his face.

"How could you cheat?"

Rose sighed helplessly.

"Alright, you guys are on the same page over there. Come and help with the work near my shop. There is no salary. No objections are allowed. Come with me now."

"That's not right, Coach Rose, they are the ones who cheated, why can't we..."

Rose said while pressing her head.

"They did cheat, but I never said cheating is not allowed, and a brain is also a good thing. Many times when you want to fight for something, cheating is indispensable. Remember it, it is not like the subway. , just move forward in a straight line, even the subway will have ups and downs, so let’s go and move quickly.”

The purpose of Rose letting them go was just to let them watch the mutants perform in the arena, so that they could explain something to them more intuitively.

These guys are all the lowest level mutants and have not taken the mutant test yet, but Rose plans to wait until all of them have S-level skills before letting them take the test.

"By the way, Coach Rose, when can we take the mutant test?"

Nia asked, clenching her fists and Rose said after thinking for a moment.

"We'll start again when I decide to let you participate."

A bunch of people were a little disappointed, Niya raised her fist and said.

"With my level of strength, I can at least get a B3 level."

Some people also began to brag, getting more and more excited as they talked, but Rose ignored them.

"Okay, now, you can start to go near my store. No matter what method you use this time, there is only one thing you must remember. This is your last chance. The first person to arrive can have a good time. Enjoy the wonderful New Year.”

Niya was the first to rush out again, but everyone who had already reacted rushed out almost at the same time, and they went straight to the subway station.

"It seems pretty good to play with them and teach them something at the same time."

Rose laughed and held her stomach. Most of her theories were made up on the spur of the moment and were only left to be experienced by themselves. Rose didn't know how to cultivate these people into talents. Rose I don’t have this much ability, nor this much energy, but I can still lead a bunch of them to have fun, and occasionally teach them something.

After all, Rose had powerful power in front of them, which was enough to convince them. Looking back, it was the same in the academy. Rose would play tricks on some classmates from time to time.

"It's really some bad taste!"

A soft voice came, and Gene showed his figure.

"What, are you worried?"

Rose asked and Gene shook his head.

"I just accidentally saw these guys running wildly, so I followed them. But if you play with them like this, it's a bit too much."

"After all, such a long life would be too boring if you didn't find some fun. I can't do anything like you, Gene."

Gene smiled helplessly.

"Why did you come down to go to the barrier area?"

Gene shook his head.

"I just want to take advantage of the New Year to visit some old friends."

"This is also your bad taste. Some of your old friends are really old. Soon you will see them buried."

Rose said as she walked slowly and Gene smiled.

"So at least visit them a few times while they are alive. Do you remember the past? I reminded you."

Rose laughed.

"Don't mention the past."

Rose said and disappeared, and Gene breathed a sigh of relief. Rose was a weirdo in the past and had difficulty getting along with many people, but now the overall situation of the Lightning Skull seems to be good.

But what Jean is worried about is that this group of people may have some problems at some point, but Jean has also thought about it, and then he will personally sound the alarm for them.

1:09 am

Ma Tao awkwardly started the lift, while Niya next to him was still urging.

"Hurry up, old horse, we have to get there as fast as possible."

Niya said with a smile, this place is District 118, which is the district managed by Ma Tao. Ma Tao has just been transferred down.

"I'm only in my 40s, don't call me that."

After Ma Tao set the location, he immediately started the maximum flight speed. Niya smiled excitedly. He didn't know why Niya came here suddenly, and asked him to take her to the vicinity of the Western Division 5 headquarters.

Niya did not go to the subway station. The subway at this point was not empty, and it took a while to wait. If you were not lucky enough to catch the subway that happened to arrive at the station, it would have wasted a lot of time, and you had to change stations, which was a bit troublesome. Niya knew very well that she must be the first to arrive.

,

Next to him, Ma Tao had helped him a lot when Niya was misbehaving, and the two of them had drank together. Niya thought Ma Tao was a pretty good person.

Ma Tao sighed helplessly. He will stay on duty tonight because some problems often occur during the New Year, and at this time, no one is watching. If there is a big problem, it will be troublesome. Ma Tao has already suffered a loss, so He was transferred from the middle to the bottom because the top management wanted to warn all regional officers. Unfortunately, Ma Tao was put under surgery. Fortunately, he kept his position.

Ma Tao looked at the excited Niya next to him. Seeing that she seemed to be getting better recently, Ma Tao felt a little more at ease.

"By the way, Miss Niya, you can come to the bottom floor to meet me for a drink anytime you have time."

Niya nodded, Ma Tao hummed, took out a cigarette and handed it to Niya. He smiled with some emotion. Alpha was kind to him in the past. After he was kicked out of the management team in the past, , and was admitted to the management department and entered management. It was Alpha who promoted him.

"By the way, Miss Niya, have you considered coming to the Business Division? I think your temperament is actually very suitable for the Business Division, especially Section 5. You patrol the streets every day."

Niya looked at Ma Tao and smiled.

"No need, I'm fine now."

Ma Tao hummed. Although his current job is leisurely and comfortable, and he always brings a lot of money into his pocket every month, compared with the past, Ma Tao still likes the past a little more, because in the past, every day From the trepidation at the beginning of the work, to the expectation and enthusiasm later, Ma Tao once talked with many scientific officers, and everyone missed it.

The lift arrived quickly. Niya pointed to a brightly lit street not far away and asked Ma Tao to hover the lift over Rose's shop. After opening the hatch, she said thank you. Jumped down.

"I'm the first to arrive again."

Niya stood on the balcony of Rose's shop and looked around. Sure enough, she didn't see anyone yet, but the next second Niya noticed someone behind her.

"Can you teleport?"

Rose walked over with a smile.

"Look, you're not very smart. You learned right away how to use a little relationship to create convenience."

"I must have won now, so I can rest comfortably."

Rose hummed and pointed to the brightly lit Congress Hall in the distance.

"Only within the confines of the Angus family. Anything beyond the scope is not allowed. If you dare to violate it, I will remove you from the Lightning Skull."

Niya snorted coldly and jumped directly to the opposite side. She hadn't been back for a long time, but it was better to go home than stay here and work.

Rose sighed. This girl is still the same as before. Rose once thought about how she would teach Niya, but unfortunately Niya is not her type of fighter. She can cope with other guys. Because the other guys said that Rose didn't seem to have any fighting talent, but Nia did.

The most suitable person in the city to teach Niya is Ling Hong. Like Niya, she is an explosive combat mutant. Soon Rose saw other people coming over. She smiled helplessly. She just planned to bring these guys with her. After a period of time, Jean will do the rest. He doesn't have that much energy or patience. It's enough for him to chat with the female customers in the store every day.

The signboard light of Rose Dolby's store turned on. Rose smiled and melted into the roof. Soon, many women gathered outside the store. They ran over in an endless stream, looking like The way you want to enter a store.

The boys from the Lightning Skull Guild also came over one after another, and Rose opened the shop.

"I'm sorry, there's something going on. It's always closed lately, so tonight we have a special discount. The first 100 customers get a 12% discount."

Many women poured into the store. At this time, Xiong Dabiao and Olivia arrived. Gradually, people from the guild arrived one after another, but Niya was not seen.

"Niya has won. She can take a vacation during the Chinese New Year, but you can't. Act quickly and come to the store first to help. There are too many customers and I can't handle it."

2:03 am

A year later, Niya set foot on the First Avenue again. The scene in front of her was still exactly the same as before, and there was not much change. The Aberron house on the left was brightly lit, but the Angus house on the right was dark. I could only see the light on the small building in the distance.

It's just that Niya hesitated at this time, because she hadn't been home for a whole year, and what she had done in the past two years had also made her parents lose face. Her evil deeds had grown since childhood, and everyone in the family They all know it, and now there are rumors about some of his evil deeds, and many of them have even been exaggerated.

Niya walked over at a loss and sat on a bench. She lit a cigarette and spread her hands. She didn't know how to face her parents. She was no longer a child. If she were still a child, , maybe I can still be willful, but now I am 22 years old.

Niya doesn't know what her parents think. Now they can still hold banquets from time to time as they did in the past, and they can still continue to have good relations with other families, but their parents have never held a banquet, ever since her sister's accident.

The huge wealth has gradually flowed back to the Angus family, but now the Angus family no longer invests in anything except a few inherent industries. The Hillman family's water supply and power supply properties are now almost all Congress only holds less than half of the shares of the Angus family, and the actual decision-making power is still in the hands of the Angus family.

At this time, a car drove by slowly, and then stopped with a creak in the center of the street opposite Niya.

The car door opened, and a tall man pushed away the coquettish woman in his arms and ran over excitedly.

"Niya."

Niya took a look and saw that the woman behind her also got out of the car.

"Hey, isn't this a slug?"

The man walked over with a smile, and the woman behind him came over to hold the man's arm and looked at Niya with disdain, because now Niya was dressed normally, her hair was cut short, and she looked so neutral. It's ordinary, and the skin is relatively dry, making it look a bit old.

"Who is this?"

"Miss Angus, my former classmate, you go back first, I will chat with my classmate for a while."

The woman looked at Nia in astonishment, bowed slightly and turned around to leave. The man's name was Jim. He was called a slug in the school because he would cry at every turn and would have a runny nose when he cried. This nickname is still Niya called out.

"Let's have a drink together, Niya."

Niya shook her head.

"Hurry up and do your business. Wait until you have time."

Jim sat next to Nia.

"Actually, we all really want to have a drink with you, Niya."

"It's a thing of the past."

Nia said, standing up, smiling and patting Jim on the shoulder.

"By the way, Niya, I might be getting married, and that lady, what do you think?"

Niya glanced sideways at the woman in the car, and then smiled.

"Don't you know better? You don't need to ask me, right? Jim, I'm sorry, I have to go home now."

Seeing Nia walking slowly and then jumping directly into the Angus family lawn, Jim stood up and shouted.

"Niya, if you need our help one day, just let us know. No matter how many years it takes, I will still be a slug, and you will still be you."

Nia stopped with a smile and waved back.

Jim looked at the woman behind him who was about to marry him. He somewhat understood what Nia wanted to say. He did not like this woman very much. It was okay at first, but he realized after going to most of the banquets with this woman. , this woman is like most people in the family in the past, and like some upper-class businessmen.

"But there is nothing we can do. If we could all be like you, we wouldn't have to be so tired every day, Niya!"

Niya walked quietly on the lawn. She did not plan to contact her past classmates because she was no longer in the same class as them. They had their own lives. Niya was now living happily in the Lightning Skull every day. , every day.

"Second Miss, you are back. The master and his wife have just eaten and gone to bed."

Niya looked at the several bodyguards approaching and nodded with a smile. When she came to the door of the mansion, Niya laughed. Nothing had changed, including the decoration and layout inside. Her sister still lived here in the past. The way it was at that time.

Niya did not go in, but leaned against the door, watching everything inside quietly. Micah and a few servants were clearing the table. At this time, Micah noticed Niya at the door, and was a little surprised. Ya made a shushing gesture, smiled and watched quietly, the breeze blowing from behind from time to time.

"Second Miss, are you hungry? I'll get you some food."

Nia nodded, and Micah wiped his wet eyes. After seeing Nia's expression, Micah felt relieved. Nia seemed to be doing well, and the Angus family had always been worried. Nia's condition, but now Nia is back and looking better.

Niya walked into the living room and slowly went upstairs. She came to her sister's room. After opening the door, a breeze came to her face. The furnishings inside were still the same as before, and the air was fresh. Someone would clean it every day. Niya walked to the bed and sat down. She looked at the mark on the table, smiled, reached out and touched it gently.

"You still know how to come back, wild girl!"

Violet in pajamas was standing at the door, and Nia looked over with a smile.

"Of course, this is my home. Where is the old man?"

Violet walked in and shook her head.

"Your father goes to bed very early recently, and so do I. But where are you hanging out now?"

Niya smiled and talked about her current situation with her mother. Violet sat at the desk, holding her chin with one hand, quietly listening to her daughter telling some things, her hanging heart was completely relieved. down.

"Just come back."

Niya hummed and smiled naturally. She walked to Violet and stood behind her.

"Mom, don't worry about me, I've grown up."

Violet laughed helplessly.

"You are always the same. You don't have to force yourself to do something you don't like. Whatever you want to do in the future, we will fully support you."

Niya hummed, and the mother and son in the room fell silent for a moment without saying anything. Niya helped her mother comb her long, somewhat messy hair, which contained a lot of white hair. Niya watched in concentration.

"Mom, let me tell you something. Many people have suggested that I take the practicum exam. What do you think?"

Violet was a little surprised, but quickly nodded.

"It's up to you to decide this matter. If you are strong enough, you can try it. After all, that is where your sister has been. Maybe after entering, you can see some of your sister's past."

Niya hummed and said with a smile.

"But I probably won't be able to pass the exam."

Violet stood up and patted Niya on the back, and a scent of fragrance wafted up.

"Go to the kitchen. There is your favorite food. We will prepare it for you every year. You can come back at any time."

Niya was a little surprised and hummed.

"Mom, come and have a drink with me tonight."

"Only a little."
