I'm not a theatre god

He had been with Han Meng for so long, and the sense of responsibility of a law enforcement officer had long been engraved in his heart. He knew that if Han Meng were here, he would definitely not choose to escape, but...but even if he stayed, there would be nothing he could do. And...that's Aurora City!

He wanted to enter Aurora City so much. It was his lifelong dream. Now there was a way to enter Aurora City in front of him. How could he refuse? How could he refuse? !

But if I really escaped into Aurora City, how would I face Han Meng?

"Brother Jack?"

Tan Ming saw Xi Renjie's struggle at this moment. He hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Brother Jie, don't put too much pressure on yourself. It is the duty of law enforcement officers to protect the people, but it is also the duty of obeying orders. No matter what you do, No matter what choice you make, I will follow you.”

Hearing this, Xi Renjie fell into silence.

He stood in the dim fog, and his black windbreaker seemed to blend into the shadow.

"……help me……"

In the dead silence, a very slight sound sounded from the side.

Xi Renjie came back to his senses and turned to look in the direction of the sound. He immediately took steps towards the dim place, followed closely by Tan Ming.

The sound came from an open space. After getting closer, Xi Renjie discovered that this was the place where the clinic abandoned people during the day. Hundreds of abandoned critically ill patients were laid out here, waiting silently to die.

Some of these critically ill patients were carried back by their families on the spot, while the rest were either alone, or their whole family had died and no one claimed them.

A few hours later, most of the seriously injured people here had died silently, but a few people were still breathing... Either because of severe pain or because of despair, they were calling out in pain, their weak voices as small as mosquitoes and flies. .

Xi Renjie found the person who made the noise and walked quickly to him.

It was a figure covered in blood. There were bite wounds everywhere on his body. His eyeballs were bitten to pieces. Only blood and crystals were left in the dark eye sockets. His whole body twisted and fell to the ground. There should not be a few intact bones left. , at first glance, it looks no different from a corpse.

"How are you?" Tan Ming couldn't bear to ask when he saw this.

"...save...save..."

As if he heard someone responding to him, the corpse-like figure moved his fingers and legs, and the desire for birth appeared on his blood-stained face.

Tan Ming was about to help him up when a hand grabbed his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Xi Renjie looking at the man with complicated eyes and shaking his head.

"You shouldn't have responded to him."

"……Why?"

"He is already dying... No one can save him. If you respond to him, you will only let him die with hope... This will only make him more painful."

Tan Ming was stunned, "Then what should I do?"

Xi Renjie didn't answer, but there was determination in his bloodshot eyes... He walked up to the man, slowly took out his gun, and pointed it between his eyebrows.

"...Save...save me...please...save..." The figure that had lost its eyes was still pleading. It was as if the whole person had returned to the light and wanted to sit up from the ground. At this moment, His forehead touched the muzzle of Xi Renjie's gun, and he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Thank you." Xi Renjie's voice was calmer than ever before, "...I understand what to do."

boom--!

A gunshot suddenly rang out.

As the figure fell to the ground, Xi Renjie stood up slowly. He held the muzzle of the gun with green smoke still floating in it, and walked in this desperate purgatory abandoned by the world.

Bang bang bang——! !

Continuous gunshots rang out, and black windbreakers pulled the trigger in front of people who were still alive one after another, like the scythe of death harvesting desperate creatures. At the moment of death, there seemed to be no pain on their faces, but a trace of relief. .

Every time he killed a seriously injured person, Xi Renjie's eyes became more determined. He was like a scavenger, picking out all the rotten meat abandoned by humans.

When the entire magazine was empty, the open space fell into dead silence again... So far, except for him and Tan Ming, there was no one alive here.

"Brother Jie..." Tan Ming said with a complicated expression.

"Incompetent kindness is heart-wrenching poison for those who are dying and desperate." Xi Renjie slowly turned his head, his eyes seemed to pierce through the thick fog, and saw the huge city standing in the center of the aurora.

"Perhaps Aurora City is right."

"Then what do you mean..."

"Go summon the law enforcers on the list and ask them to wait for me at the station."

"...Okay." Tan Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily. Then he seemed to remember something, "What about Chen Ling?"

Xi Renjie fell into silence again. After an unknown amount of time, he closed his eyes gently.

"...Let him come to see me."

…

In her sleep, Chen Ling slowly opened her eyes.

At some point, he came to the twisted road leading to the sky. At the end of the road was an out-of-reach star in the sky, which was also his home.

"here we go again."

Chen Ling looked down and saw that he was already standing on the second step of this road. Although he was only one step behind from before, he had already risen a lot from the dark abyss.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the distance between the star and yourself seems to be closer...

"The next step is the third level."

Chen Ling looked forward, and saw a tall step a few meters away. This step was much larger than the second step in both height and distance.

According to what Han Meng said before, it takes one or two years for an average person to go from level one to level two, and it takes even longer from level two to level three, starting at three years. Some people with insufficient talent may even be stuck at level two.

This is enough to prove that the difficulty of going from level two to level three is much greater than that of going from level one to level two.

Chen Ling tried to move forward, but his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. No matter how hard he tried, he could only move less than half a centimeter... His mental strength is still too weak now.

At the same time, Chen Ling's eyes fell on the section between the second and third steps. He could see the area closest to him, with blurred small words on it... and there seemed to be another line in the distance.

"It takes more than one performance to advance from level two to level three?" Chen Ling was a little surprised.

The line in the distance was not clear from Chen Ling's current position, so he could only squint his eyes and try his best to recognize the line of small words closest to him... After a long time, he muttered to himself with some uncertainty:

"[Complete a shocking exit under the witness of at least one hundred people]."
