Hades system

When Du Fuling returned to the dormitory for self-study next night, the lights in the dormitory were on. He was holding the white porridge for Bai Ziren from the cafeteria in his hand. He opened the door and was about to speak to the person who should be lying on the bed, but found Bai Ziren's bed was empty, and the windows of the dormitory were open.

"En? Where did Bai Ziren go?"

Zhao Chunsheng and Xiao Mingyue followed into the dormitory, and it was a little strange to see this scene.Du Fuling turned her head and stared at the two of them in a daze, then replied with a smile,

"Maybe he just went out... He's just like that, a guy who can't sit still as soon as he gets better..."

Saying so, Du Fuling walked to the window and wanted to close the window, but the next second he felt the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket that belonged to the staff of the Palace of the Underworld.

【Fortune Zhao】

Stomach calls to tummy, now I’m free (⊙v⊙)

On Guixin's chat panel, Zhao Facai just sent a message. Du Fuling looked down, turned to confirm that Xiao Mingyue's Zhao Chunsheng was busy with his own business, and then leaned against the bedside and poked a reply.

【Poria Cake】

What's the matter, Brother Fa Cai?You have something to say.

【Fortune Zhao】

Come here and do me a favor, the little boss is in do-not-disturb status, he didn’t reply when I poked him, Lao Bai and I are here in Pingling, hurry up, life is a matter of fate, come here in minutes~

After saying this sentence, Zhao Facai's profile picture quickly darkened, and Du Fuling was stunned for a while, thinking that Zhao Facai might really be in a hurry, so he came to him for help in such a hurry.Thinking in this way, he put his phone back into his pocket, and then walked slowly outside the dormitory. When he opened the door and was about to go out, Xiao Mingyue, who was washing in the toilet, gave him a strange look while biting his toothbrush, When he asked, Du Fuling quickly closed the door and ran out without a trace.

……

"Why is he out? It's so late?"

Looking inexplicably at Zhao Chunsheng who was washing his feet with an expression of enjoyment on his face, Xiao Mingyue glanced at the two vacant beds in the dormitory, and always felt that something was wrong, but Zhao Chunsheng just smiled noncommittally when he saw it, and then looked simple and honest The expression said,

"Maybe go out to find Bai Ziren...Du Fuling is definitely worried about him."

"Hmph, Bo Ziren is not a three-year-old child, can he get lost?"

Xiao Mingyue rinsed her mouth unhappily, wiped her face with a towel, and walked out of the toilet muttering. Zhao Chunsheng suddenly looked at him and laughed. Uncomfortable, but Zhao Chunsheng just lowered his head and continued to wipe his feet, then said lightly,

"Don't worry about their affairs, let's think about how we should deal with it when the dormitory supervisor comes over later...Du Fuling probably came back in the middle of the night after running away..."

……

As soon as Du Fuling ran out of the dormitory, the dim light in the corridor hit his face, his face turned gray quickly, and sharp canine teeth grew out from the cracks in his bright red lips.Those hairs that seemed to have vitality began to spread down his shoulders, and didn't stop until his waist, and he looked around to make sure that no one was passing by in the corridor at the moment, and then deliberately lightened his hands and feet, stepped on Looking at the window on the balcony side of the corridor, he jumped out of the window.

The night wind blew up his messy black hair, and when he fell, he turned over neatly. As soon as Du Fuling merged into the darkness, he ran towards the outside of the school like an imperceptible shadow. The flashing figure was captured by the school. The security guard probably thought it was his own daze when he saw it.Ba's running speed is very fast, so without exposing himself, he can reach his destination faster than any means of transportation.

His footsteps were as casual and free as a gust of wind, and his breath was full of wantonness and wildness of a beast. He squinted his red eyes and quickly walked through a short alley. When he turned a corner, he looked down at his watch by the way.

—There is still half an hour to turn off the lights.If you act quickly, you may be able to return to the dormitory before the auntie in charge arrives.

Thinking like this, she quickened her pace even more, and when Du Fuling hurried to Pingling Road, which was half an hour's drive away from No. 6 Middle School, exactly [-] minutes had passed.

"Yo, it's time to come."

Zhao Facai squatted on the side of the road and waved his paw at him, Bai Xiansheng stood aside with an ugly expression, they were all relieved to see Du Fuling coming, obviously they were also waiting for Du Fuling's arrival.

"What's the matter?"

Panting and stopping, Du Fuling looked at the scene in front of her in a daze.As far as I could see, the apartment building was surrounded by fire late at night. Many residents rushed out of the building screaming in terror, while fire trucks and police cars were blocked outside the fire scene, surrounded by dust and thick smoke from the burning. cigarette.

"The two of us were on the night shift tonight. There was a couple in this building who owed several million usury money and wanted to set fire to suicide. We happened to come to pick them up. The accident wasn't a big deal at first, but the information we received The information prompt said that only this couple will die at the scene, and all other residents can escape, but, we just saw it, no, why suddenly there are two more young ones... It turned out that it was this couple's Two daughters. We don't know what's going on here, and we can't go in to save people in this state, but according to the previous death registration information, these two children don't deserve to die... So we temporarily put You called here, now the fire brigade can't come in, if no one goes in to save these two children, they probably really will die inside..."

Hearing the words, Bai Xiansheng said so, and raised his head to look at the burning building with a puzzled look on his face.

"According to the information we reserved before, the couple locked themselves in the bedroom before getting angry, and then committed suicide together by taking medicine. These two children should not have been there in the first place. Why are they still here? In the fire..."

"Who knows, this matter is really troublesome. If it doesn't work out, it will be a matter of two lives. It's our work accident...Du Fuling, I'm sorry to trouble you. You are quicker and more convenient than us. You put the two children in the same place. Get it out for us..."

Saying so, pointing to the smoking building, Zhao Facai said to Du Fuling with a rare serious face,

"It's on the fifth floor, the house on the far west side, you go in from the side, and get out quickly after taking the two children out, be careful..."

"Well, okay."

Hearing this, she nodded quickly, and Du Fuling visually measured the distance up the stairs, then nodded at Black and White Wuchang, and quickly ran up the corridor from one side to the other.

A thick smoke that stings the eyes came from the fire scene, and Du Fuling ran up quickly, her eyes were uncomfortably smoked by the flames, but her ears were constantly catching the sounds in the whole building.

He heard the sound of sparks bursting, and the crisp sound of the wooden structure being burned. The stairs he went up were surrounded by flames, and Du Fuling's cheeks and arms were burned in several pieces, and just as he climbed up to the fifth floor Suddenly, his ears caught a faint cry coming from the scorching air.

"Dad! Mom!!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei are a pair of sisters, one is ten years old and the other is nine years old.

The two sisters live in a happy family. Both parents are in the clothing business. Because the couple worked hard, their family's living conditions have always been well-off. The most beautiful, not to mention the usual life and other aspects.

This kind of happy and peaceful life has been maintained for a long time, and the little sisters who grew up under the care of their parents are carefree.Until the beginning of this year, instead of always having time to watch cartoons with them and go to the zoo on the weekends, their parents often went out together in a hurry and then spent all night in the next bedroom arguing.

"Sister... Tell me, what are your parents arguing about?"

Lying on my own little bed, my elder sister Zhang Bao also looked troubled and puzzled. She is more sensible than my younger sister. Although I don't quite understand why my parents are arguing in the bottom of my heart, but I thought about it. Thinking about it, she still put her index finger on her lips and booed her sister,

"Beibei, Mom and Dad must be suffering because of work... We must not make them angry these days, you have to eat all the vegetarian dishes, and I will try my best to get a hundred points in the quiz Come back, so that Mom and Dad won't be angry, you understand?"

"Yes, sister, I know..."

The two little sisters silently made an agreement, and they are all trying to make their parents who seem to be full of troubles get better through their own efforts.But the troubles in the adult world are always different from what they understand. They think that their parents can quickly get through this crisis, but they don't expect that their family will fall into a disaster.

"I'll tell you again! Hand over all the money to me! Otherwise, I'll sell both of your daughters and chop off your husband's hand!"

A vicious voice came from the phone. Zhang Bao, who was sitting in the living room with his sister watching cartoons, hung up the phone in fright. When he looked up, he saw his mother running out of the bedroom in a hurry.

"What's wrong! What's wrong with you baby?"

The haggard-looking mother looked at her daughter who was pale with fright, and hurried out to comfort her. After hearing Zhang Bao's vicious warning from the man on the other end of the phone, the thin southern woman was stunned for a while, and then Suddenly, he sat on the ground and cried as if he had collapsed.

She and her husband committed sins and foolishness, and they had no way or ability to pay back.

After several months of running around, begging people to kneel down, but in the end, her business and family, which had been running for more than ten years, were all headed for destruction.

The two daughters are still so young, even if she and her husband die, they don't want to drag their children down, but now they have no choice but can't think of a way. Those loan sharks threaten and harass them every day as if they are going to kill them. Entering their house killed all four of them.

The woman who was originally mildly depressed due to bankruptcy finally burst into tears after being awakened by those debt collection calls late at night. Her husband lay beside her with a numb face, who was also tortured by life like an old The face in their twenties twitched slightly. After a while, the couple who had sold all their property but still owed a large amount of debt suddenly said together as if they had a tacit understanding,

"Otherwise... let's go to die. If we die... nothing will happen, right?"

Because they were cowardly and did not dare to take responsibility, the parents finally decided to choose to escape.

They took out the last bit of money in the family and gave it to their two daughters who happened to be home from school that day.The two little girls looked very happy, with smiles on their faces. They had no idea that their parents were ready to selfishly leave this world that wouldn't make it easy for them. They just believed their parents' lies , Nodding innocently and innocently, then happily went out to buy snacks with the change given by my parents.

"Sister... I want to eat potato chips, I want to eat plums..."

"I know, I know~ I'll buy them all for you, okay?"

"Oh~ Big sister is the best~ Let's buy something for mom and dad~ What do they like~"

The little sisters held hands and happily walked to the supermarket not far from home. Because the two of them walked slowly and kept talking and chatting, when they returned to their downstairs, the whole apartment building was already on fire. fire.

Thick smoke kept coming out of the windows of their own house, and familiar uncles and aunts kept running out of the corridor. Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei looked at these panicked and frightened adults blankly, and dropped the snacks in their hands. , They were thinking about how their home would catch fire if their parents went there, but at this moment, an aunt who lived upstairs from them suddenly found them and ran over quickly.

"Baby, Beibei? Why are you here!? Hurry up, the upstairs is on fire..."

"Auntie... Where are our parents..."

Staring blankly at the anxious aunt in front of them, the two little girls looked at each other, and their eyes were a little red from the smoke.They thought of the weird expressions of their parents before they left home, and the inexplicable words they said to themselves. They vaguely had the answer in their immature hearts. Almost in an instant, the two little sisters were all together. I jumped over the kind and kind aunt, and ran straight down the corridor to my home regardless of the aunt's loud stop.

"Dad... Mom..."

The two little sisters ran upstairs while shouting. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. Their footsteps were a little flustered, but they still ran up without hesitation.Although they are still young, they already have a vague understanding of the concept of life and death. They know that people will die, and they also know how dangerous this fire is, but they also have deep fear in their hearts for the safety of their parents. , and when they finally ran to the door of their own house and opened the locked door with the spare key under the flower pot, in the heat coming from the shop, they immediately saw the mess that had been burned by the fire. living room.

The door of the parents' room was closed tightly, and most of the thick smoke came out of it. Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei rushed to the door of their parents' bedroom with flushed faces, shouting their names desperately, and flapping their hands. The door, but no matter how they shouted, the parents inside did not move at all, as if they had already fallen asleep in this big fire, and it was difficult to wake up again.

"Father...Mom...don't you want us...Wuuu...you promise us...Mom and Dad..."

Shouting miserably, no matter how big the fire was, the two little girls didn't have the slightest thought of escaping from here.

After all... this is their home, the home shared by them and their parents?Although they are very scared, although they know they will die, how can they leave their parents and leave alone... They are the daughters of their parents...

Selfish and irresponsible parents still can't understand the truth that they can't abandon their families, but the two young children stubbornly insist on it.They didn't know that it was their parents' irresponsibility that caused the fire that brought disaster to all the residents. At this moment, the little sisters were semi-conscious at the door of the bedroom due to shortness of breath, and could only sit quietly. While waiting for death quietly, they suddenly heard a strange voice, and then, a gentle voice said to them out of breath,

"Don't be afraid, I will... rescue you right away..."

When Du Fuling rushed out of the corridor holding two unconscious little girls, all the firefighters and police guarding outside were startled.

They didn't even notice when someone rushed in, and now, the fire was completely out of control, and even experienced firefighters couldn't get in. This young man who didn't seem to have any protective equipment unexpectedly saved two people. A person came out, although his face and arms already looked very serious burns.

"Little classmate! Come here, disinfect! Disinfect!"

Several medical staff rushed up to pick up the two little girls. Du Fuling stood on the open space in front of the apartment with a face full of embarrassment and exhaled the turbid air in his chest. He blinked, then suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and wanted to rush into the fire again.

"Hey! Can't go in! Can't go in again!"

The two young policemen went up and wanted to hold up the reckless Du Fuling, but for some reason, they were both tall and big, but they couldn't match the strength of this thin-looking young man.The two policemen were easily freed by Du Fuling, and everyone was dumbfounded as Du Fuling rescued the two of them again, before rushing into the scene of the fire again.Zhao Facai and Bai Xiansheng who were not far away also widened their eyes at the same time.

"What... what is Du Fuling going to do? Isn't it enough to save those two children? Who else is he going to save, and who else is inside?"

Puzzled, he raised his dog's head and glanced at Bai Xiansheng. Zhao Facai didn't know whether he was out of his mind or Du Fuling's was out of his mind. Hearing this, Bai Xiansheng fell silent, and looked thoughtfully at his system panel, which still showed The countdown to the death of the couple who should have died, before he could speak, Du Fuling, who was also holding two people this time, but they were two adults with completely different weights, rushed out from the fire scene again. .

"He's out! He's out!"

Many people present cheered. They couldn't believe how this unlike-human boy brought the two adults who were already in a severe coma out of the terrible scene of fire. Those who have the courage to do all this can indeed be called heroes.

"Huh...huh..."

Throwing the couple who were still alive on the ground, Du Fuling sighed slowly, and shook his numb hands. His mind was still a little confused, and he knew that the act of rushing back to the scene of fire just now was inexplicable. It was dangerous, but he wouldn't do it if he wasn't sure, and after thinking about it carefully, Du Fuling felt that what he did was worthwhile.

It wasn't out of overflowing sympathy that he risked his life at the last moment to save this pair of irresponsible Zu Anze's parents who committed suicide and left behind a pair of daughters who were about to die.

In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the original death judgment, and that there was nothing worthy of sympathy for the couple's death, even though they seemed to have suffered a lot of misfortune, full of pain and sorrow.

But after experiencing such things before, Du Fuling is no longer the completely ignorant teenager he was back then.Bai Ziren chose him as an intern judge because Du Fuling often has completely different views from him on many things.

In this matter, the couple did not die unjustly, because they asked for their own death, and no one forced them. As long as they have a little bit of adult responsibility and can afford to let it go, they can endure it firmly. In the past, but they chose the simplest and rude... death.

They are dead, but if they die, what should they do with their daughter who was irresponsibly left in this world?Who is to pay the debts they owed because the business failed?Who is responsible for the compensation for the houses that were burned down because they wanted to commit suicide?What is the matter of wasting police resources in order to save people?

Death is not a way for the living to escape their responsibilities.

They are already adults, so they must be responsible for their own actions, instead of simply using their own death to end their lives casually.

If they really let them die so happily, it will leave endless troubles for the living, and only by letting them live can they understand the responsibility and conscience that they should bear.

……

Thinking like this, Du Fuling moved her body stiffly.The scald and sting on his face made people frown, and the noise around him and the eyes of those bystanders made him feel uncomfortable. He took the towel from a doctor, and then hurriedly walked out against the crowd, But before he took a few steps, he saw the familiar figure of Bai Ziren standing in the night not far away, the black and white impermanence that was originally there had disappeared, and when he had a gray face on his face, When looking at Bai Ziren, he was surprised to see Bai Ziren's rare stiff and indifferent expression.

"Talk to me, Du Fuling."

In a food stall late at night, two teenagers with their heads bowed were sitting opposite each other silently.

Surrounded by all kinds of men and women who are drinking and drinking, there are no people on the road in the middle of the night, and this place is surprisingly lively.The air is filled with the aroma of roasted mutton, roasted kidneys, and roasted leeks.The sweetness of cumin powder and honey blends together, and it is heaven on earth when paired with a cold beer.

"What do you two masters want to eat? The servant will roast two skewers of kidneys for you to eat?"

Leading the small man wearing a flower feather from the Qing Dynasty to the table of Bai Ziren and Du Fuling obsequiously, Du Fuling raised his head and glanced at the man who seemed familiar for some reason. After seeing his bare lower body, he suddenly remembered I've seen this person there... Oh no, it's a ghost.

"Ah, you're that Niu Gulu who sells barbecue in Hengshui Town...what the hell...how did you come here to open a shop..."

Looking at the dead man thoughtfully, Du Fuling asked curiously.Bai Ziren obviously knew the dead man, but he didn't speak.For some unknown reason, Bai Ziren hadn't spoken a word to Du Fuling since the first meeting.Du Fuling's heart was pounding, and he was a little tired after going back and forth on the fire scene before, but the boss Niu Gulu laughed enthusiastically when he heard the words, nodded repeatedly and said,

"Hahaha yes, it's me! Thanks to Xiao Yanwang's support for the economy, this skewer is also selling well. Why don't we open a branch store? People from all over the world love to eat my hell Spicy skewers, Xiao Yanwang, do you want some special skewers? How ripe should the kidney be? Do you want the bloodshot one? We still have activities here, scan the ghost letter barcode, pay attention to our store’s official ghost letter and give it away Two bunches of Flammulina velutipes and draft beer, Brother Du, you want to scan it, it’s very affordable..."

As soon as he opened the chatter box, he talked endlessly like a chatterbox. The boss of Niu Gulu Ruifu also took out a barcode roll for Du Fuling to scan. Du Fuling took out his mobile phone with great interest. It was scanned directly, and with a ding dong, Boss Niu Gulu immediately nodded with a smile on his face.

"Cha, it's done! Just wait, the skewers will be here soon!"

As soon as he said that, he slapped a thousand, and the owner of the barbecue stall swayed away with his braids shaking, while Du Fuling somehow felt that he had the illusion of being the protagonist of a palace drama in the Qing Dynasty, and he really couldn't laugh or cry for a moment , but the moment he raised his head, he saw that Bai Ziren had been staring at him since just now, and at the moment when the eyes of the two exchanged, Du Fuling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed inexplicably.

"Hey, look what I'm doing, I'm startled."

There was a bit of a complaining tone, but it sounded like a complaint that someone close to him would say without any grievances.Du Fuling picked up the beer in her glass and looked at it, then raised her eyebrows strangely and said,

"Speaking of it... I'm going to be an adult in ten days, so I should be fine if I drink a little wine... But you, your birthday is two months away, right? Well... By the way, you want to chat with me What, you came here on purpose... What is it..."

"..."

Wen Yan fell silent, and Bai Ziren looked at Du Fuling steadfastly. He looked at the burns and dirt on his face, and his black eyes gradually became angry.

"Are you asking me? Don't you think you should ask yourself?"

He opened his mouth slowly, Bai Ziren rarely spoke to Du Fuling in such a harsh tone, so Du Fuling was stunned immediately when he heard it for the first time, and there was a faint feeling of dissatisfaction in his heart. When he had a good premonition, he heard Bai Ziren say again,

"It was you who told me at the beginning that if there was anything I would tell you, now I have told you everything about me... But Du Fuling, have you confessed to me?"

"Bai Ziren...you..."

His voice trembled, and Du Fuling, who knew that the person in front of him already knew what he thought, opened his eyes uglyly. He originally wanted to tell Bai Ziren himself. He originally wanted to say it in a more harmonious atmosphere between the two of them. He came up with this idea, but Bai Ziren's eyes were too scary at the moment, and when Du Fuling opened his mouth to speak, he found that he really had nothing to say.

"Yes, I want to go to military school."

Lowering his head and speaking stiffly, Du Fuling felt a strong sense of guilt, but out of respect for Bai Ziren, he still spoke word by word,

"I also want to be with you all the time, just like we used to be, but... how should I put it, our lives are very long, I don't want you to be with a trash-like Du Fuling until one day You are bored, or bother me, and then... the two of us are finished... Although you said it first, but sincerely, Bai Ziren, I like you as much as you like... I this People have many problems. Compared with you, I am... the most ordinary ordinary person. Many times, I can't help you...Of course, I don't mean that I came up with a I have had this idea for a long time. You know, when the soul came to me, I saw many... a lot of cruel scenes. At that time, I had a faint feeling. This kind of thinking, if one day I have the opportunity to do something for this country, even if it is a peaceful age, I am still willing to..."

"What if I disagree?"

He opened his mouth suddenly, and Bai Ziren looked at him, and there was some emotion in his eyes that made Du Fuling suffer so much, but there was nothing strange in his voice.

"Then...then I...then I will..."

Subconsciously replied, Du Fuling frowned in embarrassment after finishing speaking, he hesitated and didn't know how to continue, emotions and ideals were intertwined, it was really difficult for him to make a choice immediately, and seeing Bo Ziren just burst out laughing suddenly, and for some reason, he remembered the man named Tuhe in his mind.

"Du Fuling, will you break up with me?"

"You...why do you ask that? What do you want?"

His eyes widened all of a sudden, and when he heard the word from Bai Ziren's mouth, Du Fuling turned pale with fright. He grabbed Bai Ziren's hand anxiously, staring sullenly at the expressionless Bai Ziren said,

"Why do you divide...no division... I'll just go to school, I promise I'll be honest, can't I? Break up? You think you are beautiful! Why do you divide, dating is such a hasty thing I know what I did was wrong... But I just go away for a few years, and then my life and the next will belong to you... If you are angry, you can beat me and scold me, but there is no distinction... ...Bai Ziren...I...I...I beg you..."

In the end, she softened. After all, Du Fuling, who had been useless in front of Bai Ziren for so many years, felt a little ashamed after speaking.

Bai Ziren was also made a little helpless by his words, the unhappiness when he learned about this from Yu Rufei just now compared with the incomparable crying and laughing at this moment, it's a bit ironic.

"You should have told me sooner, I feel bad."

Said in a low voice, Bai Ziren, who was indeed very disappointed in his heart at the moment, looked intently into Du Fuling's eyes, and spoke softly for a while,

"Although it's only been a few years, if you think about it, as long as you're not around, I still won't get used to it. Before I disappeared for a year, you were so anxious... Now that it's you, why don't you understand my mood? ?If you had told me earlier, I could have been mentally prepared... But fortunately, now I have figured it out myself, what you want to do is the right thing, and I am also proud of you for having such an ideal... ...You may be worried about my emotions or my reaction, but you can rest assured that my personal thoughts are only secondary, and I have no right to interfere with your future and life...Of course, if you do When making a decision, you can tell your life partner everything in advance, instead of letting him hear from some quack doctor, he will be happier."

Saying this, Bai Ziren slowly raised his hand, and the corners of Du Fuling's eyes were a little red, which made him feel a little uncomfortable against his scalded cheeks.He is experiencing the first parting in his life. He could have selfishly asked the person in front of him to stay and let him give up all ideals and pursuits for himself, but in the end, he still hid all the words in his heart, just lightly Touched his cheek lightly.

"I'm not going anywhere, just waiting for you to come back, okay?"
