Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

night

The lights in the dazzling city were brilliant, but the big sun overhead had disappeared, leaving only the black sky like a curtain.

The streets are still bustling with people. In the giant city with three floors, the light in the middle and upper floors is the strongest. Only the light in the lower floors is dimmed. Most of the people living here are poor people. A white figure shuttles On the street, unfavorable glances were cast from time to time from all around.

Gene was walking down the street with a cigarette in his mouth. Many people were following him. Gene smiled and turned into an alley.

Soon people were blocking the front and back. Jean took a long puff of cigarette and looked calmly at the people in front and behind who were smiling evilly and holding weapons in their hands. They were wearing very old clothes and looked poor. Mutually.

"Boy, it looks like you are from the middle class. Cigarettes are a luxury. Lend your wallet to poor people like us to buy some food!"

Gene watched unmoved as several people approached him, his eyes becoming cold.

"No matter what era or society we live in, there are always scum who want to get something for nothing!"

A minute later, Gene picked up the coat on the ground, patted the dust and walked out of the alley slowly. The person who had just planned to rob him had completely fallen to the ground.

"Who are you anyway?"

A guy on the ground looked at Jean painfully and threw his coat back.

"Jean from Section 13."

This is the fifth time I have been robbed in the lower block all night. In addition to the police during the day, the order on the lower level is very poor at night. Congress has not found a solution for the time being, because there is a mix of dragons and snakes here, which is really not good. manage.

Tonight, Gene received a tip that there would be rioters attacking at the entrance of South Bridge, so he came down directly, intending to go there and deal with the problem. The mutant who could use fire captured today was a member of the rioters. According to the news It was inferred from his mouth.

It's just that the police didn't plan to come over to deal with it, because no one wanted to get close to the barrier area. On the outer edge of the three districts of Brilliant City, there was another barrier area that was in darkness all the time. It was a neighborhood of abandoned and dilapidated primitive humans. For many people who have been eliminated by the existing society, the Congress will distribute some emergency food to them every month to maintain a minimum life, but these foods are all in the experimental stage. The reason why they are allowed to survive is to make the upper, middle and lower three People at higher levels can survive better.

In such a helpless world, the so-called fairness cannot be achieved at all. People with ability live under the sun, while people without ability can only live in darkness, because human society must move forward and cannot stand still. Can't go back.

After the previous disaster on the earth, mankind was in a state of extreme chaos for a long time. This was an order that was built with great difficulty. In Jean's concept, no one is allowed to destroy this order.

The smell of blood permeated the air. In front of me was a small town on the edge of a huge ravine. The South Guard Station had tall square walls. The guard station was connected to the bridge that connected the barrier area. At this time, the guard station was dimly lit. Inside All the soldiers should have been wiped out. Jean stood at the gate, looking at the gate made of a special material in front of him. It requires a password to open. If it is forcibly opened, Congress will receive an alert in an instant, and a large number of troops will They will fly over immediately to suppress them.

There have been several bloody crackdowns before, but each time they were suppressed by the Congress. Except for the people at the bottom who knew about it, the people in the middle and upper classes didn't know about it. But this time the Congress didn't want to make too much noise again. , so Gene came alone.

In the guard station, a large number of sallow-looking people panted and looked at the tied-up soldiers. The bodies of dead soldiers were scattered in many places. A strong man with pale skin and a burly body was pressing the head of an officer.

"Speak out the password, otherwise, I will break the bones in your body bit by bit."

On the long and wide bridge that spans a huge ravine, the residents of the barrier area have formed a long queue, and most of the people who are staggering and pale are crossing the bridge.

The officer shook his head weakly.

"I really don't know. Only the chief of the 3rd Military Section knows the password. Please let me make a call."

With a click, the commander's head was twisted off, but the big man immediately noticed a person in front of him. He looked over suspiciously, and in an instant he saw a somewhat ferocious face and a pair of blood-red eyes. .

"Where are you kid?"

With a click, the big man's neck had been broken by Jean. He had already fallen to the ground and died before he could even see clearly how Jean came to him and broke his neck.

Immediately, people holding firearms raised their guns and planned to attack Jean, but Jean disappeared in front of him.

When Gene reappeared, he was already standing behind dozens of people. The guns in their hands were all broken into two halves. Everyone looked at the weird scene in front of them in horror, and the tied soldiers widened their eyes in surprise. eyes, but soon they were cheering.

"Give you one last chance to return to the barrier area."

Jean said as he stared at the person behind him with extremely cold eyes. He had already investigated very clearly. The guy he just killed and the guy caught in the city today are two brothers. Both of them are mutants. They were the masterminds. In order to carry out this operation, the elder brother made a big fuss in the city and created chaos, while the younger brother cooperated with the internal response in the lower block. They cooperated internally and externally to seize the guard station first, allowing a large number of people from the barrier area to enter the lower block, and then seek other actions after recuperating. .

Waves of screams rang out, and everything in front of them made everyone's hair stand on end. Jean was like a killing machine, shuttling through the crowd. In just three minutes, more than 30 people were dead and dismembered. Fell in a pool of blood.

"Please, me"

With a click, the neck of the last person who invaded the security center was broken by Jean. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Jean looked at the people standing on the bridge who were retreating and running, showing a sad expression. Come on.

"What kind of guardian are you of Brilliant City? You are Jean, the legendary Jean!"

A teenage boy suddenly broke away from his parents and rushed over. Everyone shouted in fear, and a uniform with 13 printed on it was flying in the wind.

Everyone understood that this man was Gene from Section 13. Section 13 was a secret section that was rumored to have existed for a long time. It was rumored that the man named Gene was a weak guardian and a good person, but most people were not. Saw Jean.

Gene looked at the child in front of him quietly, crossed the bridge and rushed towards him, waving his fists, while Gene smoked silently without saying a word.

With a thud, a thin, dirty fist struck Gene, who held it in one hand.

"Please, Lord Jean, he is just a child, please let him go, please."

Outside the red line of the bridge, the child's mother cried and knelt on the ground and begged.

"You are not a good person at all, you are a devil. We haven't eaten for several days and my sister is still sick."

"so what?"

Gene stared at the boy coldly, stood up and suddenly threw the boy out. The boy fell on the bridge.

"Let me pass, let me pass."

The boy cried and rushed over again, but the moment he crossed the bridge, he bumped into Gene's body and fell back again. The mother hugged the boy.

"If you blindly demand and moan blindly, nothing will change. As long as people living in the barrier zone still have value, they can enter the sun. There are quotas every month. No matter what you can do, as long as there is still value. That’s it. Poverty is neither your reason nor your excuse. All people living in the city have their own value, but what about you? Are you valuable?"

Angry criticisms sounded, but Gene turned around and walked over unmoved. After squatting down and saying something to a soldier, the soldier's eyes widened.

"Lord Jean, this is a violation."

Gene said after standing up.

"If anyone finds out, just tell them to find me in Section 13."

Gene said and patted the soldier on the shoulder. The soldier glanced at the helpless and crying people on the bridge, gritted his teeth and gave the order, asking them to come and take away the food, water and medicine from the guard station.

Soon, many people on the bridge who heard what happened returned, and began to carry food, water and medicines under Jean's eyes with joy, as if they had long forgotten everything that had just happened.

"Why, Sir Jean, is this putting the cart before the horse?"

The soldier stood beside Jean, watching all this. He didn't understand why Jean did this, whether it was a moment of pity or something. Although the people who came over the bridge did not participate in the battle, they did not deserve sympathy, because many of them were They are people who give up on themselves and have no fighting spirit at all. Most of them are people who often cause riots and commit crimes in the city. Many of them just want to get something for nothing.

"Maybe so, but..."

Gene glanced at the little boy who was crying just now but now had a smile on his face.

"Children are without sin."

After the people in the barrier area left, Gene stood up to leave, and the soldier just now followed him.

"Lord Jean, I have witnessed too many riots. Is there no way to solve them? As you just said, children are not guilty."

Gene said with a smile.

"I'll give it a try when I get back, but there's no need to look forward to it. After all, it's not just here, the upper level is the same, the stench is unbearable."

In the surprised eyes of the soldiers, Jean disappeared through the wall as if through mud, and the wall returned to its original state.

"What exactly is this."

Before he finished speaking, the soldier's light and shadow cell phone rang.

"Li Li, from today on, you are the supreme commander of the South Guard Station. The formal authorization order and additional troops will be passed tomorrow. As for everything you saw tonight, please forget everything about Jean. , otherwise you will be forgotten!"

Li Li's heart trembled. He looked at the number without being stunned. It was 00003. It was the call from the chief of the Military Section of Section 3.

6:30 am

Under the light of the annoying light and shadow alarm clock, Le Xiao opened her eyes. She used to stay in bed, but today she was particularly energetic.

"There is no way out. I will be fired next month."

Le Xiao had already decided that she wanted to find Section 13. From the brief interaction yesterday, she felt that Jean was easy to talk to. When she came back last night, she had an idea and planned to ask Jean to be her interviewee. In this way, not only would she not be able to Fired, that's okay

Le Xiao blushed and laughed heartily when she thought of this.

On a new day, Le Xiao finally felt what hope was, just like what her mother had said to her, as long as she bathed in the sunshine, good things would happen.
