Chen Jing made arrangements very quickly, and soon a motorcade set off from the Special Purity Department.

Although Lu Xin said that he hoped to keep a low profile, five cars still came. In the second car, Lu Xin and Kid were seated, and in the third car was the person in charge of Kid 0 Professor Chen Liqing of the project also has several researchers. On the fourth vehicle are Chen Jing and several ability users responsible for security. On the first and fifth vehicles are fully armed soldiers, clearing the way and holding back.

The first place they came to was Main City West District, a quiet community.

Lu Xin and Kid got out of the car, and Chen Jing caught up from behind and took them upstairs together.

Other vehicles and other people have been following behind. They did not participate and just accompanied them quietly.

Chen Jing did not ask Lu Xin carefully what he wanted to do with Kid. He just walked and introduced to Lu Xin in a low voice, "This is where I was with Technological Church before. The residence of the mother of Captain Li Jian who died during the confrontation. Now, their families have learned about the sacrifices of these soldiers and researchers, and we will make appropriate arrangements and provide generous pensions and special care."

"We are very serious about this. You brought Kid here this time because..."

"..."

Lu Xin looked up at the slightly dilapidated community and said softly, "It's to fulfill a promise I made before."

After going upstairs with Kid and Chen Jing, Lu Xin saw a woman in her sixties. The weathered look on her face must have been during that period of Crimson Moon After arrived, she stayed in the process of raising the child in the most difficult years. Although she was notified by phone, she was still a little surprised. She forced a smile on her face and welcomed Lu Xin and the others into the house.

Lu Xin carefully took out a folded piece of paper from his black backpack.

"This is what Captain Li Jian asked me to bring to you. The conditions were tight at the time, so he didn't have time to write it himself."

"I wrote these words down, but I remembered them carefully at the time and didn't miss a word."

"..."

After explaining it, he handed the paper to the old man.

The old man took the folded paper, his rough palms trembling slightly.

She should be a strong old man. After all, she could survive the most chaotic and difficult years with her children. In addition, now that she has known about the child's sacrifice, her emotions have been buffered. Therefore, after reading the few sentences on the piece of paper, she still had a smile on her face and said to Lu Xin, "Look, look at this child, he is here..."

"... He's still so stingy and doesn't want me to give his uncle money."

Smiling, his eyes turned red. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said with a smile, "But..."

Tears fell heavily, and her voice trembled. "But the children are gone, I keep the money, and..."

"What's the use?"

"..."

Chen Jing beside him sighed softly.

Lu Xin just looked at the old man calmly, listened carefully, and watched carefully.

Kid was a little confused and could only sit aside honestly.

After coming out of this community, the convoy went to a square in the center of the city. After the convoy arrived, a young woman walked down from the office building next to it. She looked very beautiful, but she looked a little haggard. She was wearing the professional suit of an office white-collar worker, but she did not have the delicate makeup on her face like other white-collar workers.

"She is Chen Cheng's fiancée."

Chen Jing introduced Lu Xin in a low voice and said, "They were originally scheduled to get married next month."

Lu Xin nodded softly, found the corresponding paper from the black bag, and handed it to the woman seriously.

"What is this?"

The woman took the paper unexpectedly, opened it and looked at it casually.

Quietly, quietly, a few seconds later, she suddenly laughed and said to Lu Xin, "That's great, thank you!"

"You... you know, right?"

"This guy is so shy. We are already engaged, but he just refuses to say the words 'I love you'. He only wants to buy me things desperately... When I heard that he died, I thought I would never hear him say the words 'I love you' again."

"This letter is really good..."

"..."

Lu Xin was a little hesitant and said softly, "He felt very guilty at the time. He said that he should persuade you to find a better person to marry sooner, but he failed to say it out. He said that he liked you very much and he hoped that he would marry you, not someone else..."

"Of course he can't say that, isn't that a bastard?"

The woman looked up at Lu Xin and said, "If he wants to push me into someone else's arms, what will happen to me?"

"Love is inherently selfish..."

"He doesn't want me to marry anyone else, he just wants me to marry him. This sentence is better than 'I love you'..."

"The only bad thing is that his words are the same as 'I love you'..."

"Everything has become empty, so fake..."

"..."

Lu Xin I don't understand this woman's reaction.

There are always some things in this world that seem different from what you imagined, but they seem to be the way they should be.

He just took Kid and said goodbye to this happy woman.

However, when he walked out of the square and was about to get in the car, he turned around.

I saw the woman sitting alone on the bench, her hands covering her mouth, her head hanging, and her shoulders shaking.

They came to the home of a woman who lived alone. In this small living room, there was only one woman and a little girl over three years old. There were many things in the room, including violins, Go chess, dancing shoes, and even a piano in this room that didn't look very spacious. It can be seen how precious this family is to their daughter.

Lu Xin handed the prepared letter to the woman, and then looked at the timid little girl quietly.

When the woman read the letter, her eyes turned red, and she softly asked her daughter to go back to the room first.

Then she looked up at Lu Xin, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "When he was on a business trip, we just..."

"I just had a quarrel over which interest class my daughter should enroll in..."

"..."

Lu Xin didn't know how to answer, so he could only listen quietly.

Kid seemed to feel her sadness and raised her hand gently, but did not dare to touch him.

"I have always felt that my daughter should learn something that interests her, but he has always insisted that her daughter learn something that will be useful in the future. We have argued many times about this kind of thing, but he is so arrogant and just refuses to..."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, he figured it out..."

The woman finally couldn't hold herself any longer, and there was a cry in her voice, "But him, he is still so arrogant..."

"What does my daughter like?"

"What she likes is actually having her father come back..."

"..."

"..."

They came to a middle school, and the teacher brought out a boy with a crew cut and wearing sportswear. On his neck, you could see an obvious tattoo, his hair had been shaved very short, and you could faintly see yellow hair stubble.

Lu Xin gave him the folded letter and said, "Your brother asked me to tell you that you must study hard."

"You can't hang out with the hooligans on the street anymore, or I'll break your legs."

"He also wants you to study liberal arts."

"..."

The boy took the folded letter, read it twice silently, put it in his pocket, put his hands in his trouser pockets, raised his head, and said to Lu Xin, "I no longer hang out with the gangsters, and I have shaved off my hair, but this tattoo is not easy to wash off."

"But I can't listen to my brother about the rest. I want to study science and become a researcher like him."

"Because I think..."

A boyish smile appeared on his face and he said:

"A way to die like my brother is much more embarrassing than the blood spilled on the streets that the big brothers in society talk about."

"..."

Lu Xin was a little surprised. After being silent for a while, he gently patted the little boy on the shoulder and said:

"Don't say that, it's unlucky."

After a pause, he suddenly smiled and said, "But you are right about one thing."

"Your brother is indeed more vulnerable than those who fight and kill on the streets..."

"..."

This convoy shuttled through Qinggang Main City, delivering a suicide note to many people. There were not many suicide notes in the black bag, because Lu Xin was also very sorry. At that time, there was really not enough time for everyone to leave a suicide note. At this time, he could only guarantee that those he heard and sorted out would be handed over to those people one by one with Kid.

He watched some of them laugh, some cry, some have changed, and some were desolate.

It's like walking in whirlpools.

He also saw that Kid's expression had changed from blank at the beginning to one with crystal tears on his face.

At the end, Lu Xin took Kid and sat back in the car. Apart from the driver, there were only two people in the car, him and Kid. Lu Xin looked at Kid and saw that her happy expression had turned into a sad and confused expression since she first saw him.

Outside the car window, the city's street shadows flashed past like reflections.

"I don't know if you understand, but this is what I want to tell you."

Lu Xin looked into Kid's eyes and said softly, "This city seems to be like this naturally, but it's not always the case."

"He needs human protection."

"..."

Looking at Kid trying to understand what he said, a standard smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, "Look, those people behind are actually very nervous because they are afraid, but in fact, they don't have to be so afraid, because we made this decision not because of their cautious attitude, or in other words, not entirely because of this attitude..."

"What we want to protect has always been the life we like..."
