Endless Debt

This is a terrible city, and the rainy nights in Opos are colder than any rainy nights that Gini has experienced. Every raindrop is filled with a bone-chilling chill, falling from the bulging clouds.

It seems as if there is a cold winter hidden in it, sprinkling liquid snow on the people of the world.

Gini raised her head and slowly stretched out her hand, feeling the fine raindrops.

It's raining, another rainy night.

Raining in this season is obviously not consistent with common sense, but the word common sense is not suitable for Opos. Everyone looks up and can see the heavy haze overflowing from the big crack. They are like a support The pillar of fog rising from the sky and the earth stood so tall.

From time to time, the smog in the large rift will overflow, forming a toxic haze and gray tide, invading the surrounding areas. No matter which of the above points is considered abnormal in a city, but they are gathered together, all of them Superimposed on Opos.

For this reason, the citizens living here have long developed the quality of being big-hearted and have long been "accustomed" to the many "abnormalities" in Opos. Even strangers like Gini are no exception. Living here for a while , she is used to all this.

Wrapping her clothes tightly, she tried hard to resist the coldness that came. After getting sick, Gini always felt that her body was very weak, she often felt cold, and she was always hungry. She obviously ate a lot of food, but she just couldn't fill it up. abdomen.

Kedening said this was a good sign, saying that his body was digesting food and converting it into energy to heal itself. The more Gini ate, the closer she was to recovery.

He is such a person who always finds ways to encourage people in darkness. For Gini, Kedening is like a warm sun.

Thinking of this, Gini looked forward. Kedening was carrying luggage and arguing with someone on the platform of the station.

Gini did not disturb Kedening. She could feel that Kedening was already very tired, so she had better not disturb him.

After picking up her luggage and moving to the bench under the awning, Gini was a little curious as to why David didn't come.

David and Kedening were very good friends. When he married Kedening, David looked at him with a resentful look on his face at the wedding and said something like, she stole his good brother, and so on.

Kedening also joked that if David had no place to live in the future, he could consider leaving the attic for David to live in.

It's unclear why Kedening was in a hurry to leave Opos, but he didn't take David with him this time, which surprised Gini.

Gini did not continue to think about it. Her thoughts were a little drowsy. She leaned on the bench, her consciousness between wakefulness and drowsiness.

She's been like this a lot since she got sick. Kedening said it's the effect of the medicine, which makes Gini often unable to sleep.

In fact, Gini hates taking medicine. To be precise, she hates falling asleep. Once she falls asleep, she will dream, and her dreams will always look the same.

Like now.

Gini remembered that it was a rainy night, the same rainy night as now.

The cold raindrops were pattering, and in the dream, Gini was sitting at the door of her house, waiting for Kedening to return in the evening.

At that time, they had just arrived in Opos, and like many foreigners, they were struggling to survive here. At that time, Kedening was in a very bad state. He traveled to various theaters to make a living, but those people were only willing to let him star in some movies. A small role with no lines and a pitifully low salary.

Kedening couldn't sleep late at night. He sometimes doubted himself, whether he was really capable and whether his choice was correct.

This kind of confusion and pain tortured Kedening. He did not have the courage to give up his dream like this, and he could not convince himself that he was really just a mediocre person.

Neither up nor down, wandering constantly.

Gini could do nothing about it. She could only hug Kedening silently and let him feel the warmth of her body.

Sometimes it was not only Kedening who doubted herself, but also Gini. Faced with Kedening's pain, she only felt a burst of powerlessness and self-blame. She could do nothing but hug her.

But then... there was a turning point.

Kedening's acting career became smoother and smoother. They made a lot of money and moved to a bigger house. More and more people recognized them, and everyone cheered Kedening's name.

Gini felt that Kedening was about to realize his dream, but when she looked at Kedening, he looked unhappy. Sometimes Kedening looked at her with worry.

What happened?

Gini felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember what she had forgotten, that extremely important thing...

Thunder streaked across the night sky, reflecting the world into black and pale white. Everything stood still for a moment, and then flowed again, and there was a huge noise.

Gini remembered it, and she was speechless for a moment. She could only stare at everything happening with her eyes wide open.

Like thick tar, a strange and fuzzy figure struggled to crawl out of the deep darkness. It was wrapped in a pitch-black robe and stood in front of Gini with a bit of illusion.

The drizzle of rain fell on his body, but it penetrated strangely and patted on the ground.

Gini couldn't see his face clearly, but she felt a familiar aura mixed with some uneasiness.

"Your wish...I heard it."

In the memory, the man said and stretched out his hand.

Heard it...and then...then...

Gini's expression gradually became frightened, and she couldn't tell whether this was a memory, a dream, or reality.

Truth and falsehood were kneaded together, roughly lumped together, and then violently torn apart.

The man's words were brief, but Gini understood all of his meaning.

There is a price to pay for your wishes, are you going to bear the price?

Gini raised her hand tremblingly, and thousands of emotions crashed through her heart like meteors. Fear, uneasiness, and huge panic filled her heart, and she could even hear the screams of her own soul.

No, don't reach out. If you agree to him, something bad will definitely happen.

Something far worse than death.

But……

Kedening's face flashed in Gini's eyes. He stood on the stage and welcomed the applause of the audience, bowing and exiting amid the carnival...

If his wish can be realized, perhaps the price is not high, at least for Gini.

Sometimes people are like this. They can endure their own suffering, but cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of others.

So on that cold rainy night, she reached out to the man.

Gini remembered, remembered the beginning of all this nightmare.

"Kini?"

The gentle words shattered the reality. As if awakened from a nightmare, Gini tried to retract her outstretched hand, but was grabbed tightly by the man and could not move away.

"Kini!"

The voice became stronger, and Gini tried to calm down. The strange black shadow was no longer there, replaced by Kedening.

He was standing in front of her, holding her outstretched hand, and reality was confused.

"Are you okay?" Kedening asked worriedly.

"I...I'm okay. I seemed to be hallucinating just now. It was probably due to the effects of the drugs."

Gini smiled bitterly twice, and then hugged Kedening. The two hugged briefly, and then separated, with panic and loneliness in their eyes.

Kedening sat next to Gini and complained in his voice, "The train is late, we need to wait for a while."

Having said that, Ke Dening felt uneasy in his heart. Is it really just a delay? Or maybe there is something else hidden.

He tried hard to stay calm and never panic in front of Gini.

"It's okay." Gini said and rested her head on Kedening's shoulder.

Raindrops were hitting the awning, and the monotonous sound sounded surprisingly reassuring at the moment.

Gini held Kedening's hand in her arms and tried her best to feel the warmth of his skin. It seemed that everything in front of Gini's eyes was false. Only what she held in her hand and what she truly touched was Absolutely true.

Under Gini's touch, Kedening's restless heart rarely calmed down, just like the night rain.

Suddenly, Kedening had another extravagant hope. How he hoped that this moment could become eternal. To sink in such a world was a rare happiness for him.

But this is ultimately a luxury.

"Kedening...what happened, right?" Gini asked softly.

"Um."

This time Kedening did not continue to hide.

"Because of me, right?"

The warm liquid streaked across Kedening's arm, and Gini cried silently. She was vaguely aware of the source of all this.

"There was no disease, no medicine," said Gini. "I remembered that man, that ominous guy... everything started from that time."

"I don't blame you."

Kedening rubbed Gini's head and wiped away her tears.

"It's just the wrong time, wrong place, wrong people and things, which created the wrong status quo."

Kedening pulled the suitcase next to him a little closer and said seriously.

"But don't worry, I will take care of it."

There was a screeching sound of brakes in the distance, as if a desperado was speeding towards him.

Kedening guessed that he was a good driver at fast speed. He opened the car door before the car stopped and jumped out. Full of sharp weapons and murderous intent, he allowed the out-of-control car to run rampant and exploding fireworks surged behind him. Casting his ferocious shadow on the ground.

It had only been a few hours since the car and the driver had met, but it had carried this murderer through countless places. The broken tires and the ground erupted with bursts of fire, and the silver and smooth body of the car was also covered with countless... Bullet holes.

Kedening thought he would open the door. In fact, the driver's side door was long gone. Not long ago, it was torn off by the driver, who used it as a shield to rush into another scene against a hail of bullets.

It can be said that a profound revolutionary friendship was formed between the two. Now it was finally overwhelmed and exploded and burned under the violent driving of the driver.

The blazing fire shot straight into the sky, and the guards screamed, but after a few bursts of gunfire, everything became quiet again.

Kedening took out the medicine from the suitcase. He comforted Kini and injected the medicine into Kini's body along the arm. After a few seconds, Kini's consciousness became drowsy again, and then she fell asleep peacefully.

"Just a moment please."

Kedening said to himself, picked up Gini's body, laid her down on the bench, took off his coat, covered Gini's body, and wrapped her up.

Looking at Gini's calm face, Kedening kissed her forehead gently, then took out the pistol and dagger from the suitcase, turned around and looked at the visitor in the rain.

"Thanks."

Kedening thanked him, and bright patterns climbed along his neck. At the other end of the rain curtain, the visitor showed off the claw hammer and folding knife in his hand.

Boluogo strode forward, the same light track lit up on his hands, as if he was holding fireworks.
