"..."
Old Man took a deep breath and said nothing. He seemed a little silent, but his hand was placed on the crutches at some point.
"It's a little cold and doesn't taste as good as the outside."
"And a lot of food is not suitable for long-term storage and there is no way to bring it in."
Yu Sheng is still narrating seriously.
Every time he said a word, Old Man's hand holding the cane trembled slightly.
Finally, Old Man sighed, "I didn't expect that even an honest kid like you has become flexible."
"What a pity..."
"I am the soul of Sin City."
"Even if I die, my blood will be spilled on this land."
"In this life..."
"Can't live without it."
Old Man's voice became hoarse at this moment, as if there was metal friction in the throat.
"Why?"
Yu Sheng is puzzled.
Old Man smiled, "Sin City... is also the city of Human Race, Sin City Native... is also a human being..."
"I'm leaving..."
"Sin City, it will get out of control."
"And..."
"Do you know the meaning of the existence of Sin City?"
Old Man asked rhetorically.
Yu Sheng pondered for a few seconds, and finally shook his head slowly.
Old Man swallowed the last piece of beef in his hand. "If one day, the world becomes out of control, Sin City... maybe Human Race's last...City of Hope."
"Do you think it's ironic?"
"But..."
"Don't you think these people in Sin City will be better suited to survive when facing the real apocalypse?"
"Everything in this world has a reason for its existence."
"Today's Sin City is full of darkness, but who can guarantee that many years from now, it will not emit endless light."
As he spoke, Old Man stood up slowly with a cane. "Thank you for reminding me of the taste of food..."
"Put the rest away."
"People..."
"The most taboo thing is greed..."
As the words fell, Old Man's figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only Yu Sheng alone standing at the door of Inner City, lost in thought.
"Sin City Native... are also human beings..."
"Why do I feel inferior because of my Sin City origin, and why do I need Teacher to clean up my Sin City experience."
"And I don't think it's inappropriate."
"Is it because I also subconsciously believe that because I am born Sin City, I am inferior to others?"
"Even if I enter Sin City, it's not what I want..."
At this moment, Yu Sheng's mind is filled with what Old Man just said.
Extraordinarily simple, yet direct to the heart.
"The darkness in front of you may not be the light in the future."
"Today's criminals may also be Human Race's hope..."
"When you stand at a certain height..."
"Right or wrong is just a matter of a thought."
Yu Sheng gradually came back to his senses, looked in the direction Old Man was leaving, and murmured to himself, "But unfortunately, this is your way, not mine."
"In my world, right is right and wrong is wrong."
"Even if everything I do is just to survive, I will not do anything wrong."
"Because... it's wrong."
As he spoke, Yu Sheng's eyes became clear again. He raised his head and glanced at the familiar Inner City before striding in.
Although it has only been a few years, Sin City has already gone through a lot of changes.
The names Yu Sheng and Shi Guang have long been forgotten, and even Chu Huai has become history.
The houses where Yu Sheng and Shi Guang once lived have also changed their owners several times.
Yu Sheng stood on a roof, looking at his extremely familiar home in the moonlight, where he had lived for countless years, slightly in a trance, as if he was recalling something.
However, this time, he did not rush in violently and pull out the people living in the room as usual. Instead, he turned around and left in the moonlight, returned to Outer City, turned around the complicated terrain, and finally appeared outside a separate room.
In the room, there was a faint sound of Iron Chain.
Yu Sheng gently knocked on the door.
A low roar suddenly sounded from the room, like a mad beast, full of hostility.
But Yu Sheng's expression remained calm.
"Hello."
"Are you willing to offer Sin City?"
He pushed open the door proactively.
A wisp of cold air spread out from the room, and in the dark room, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
A pair of cold eyes pierced the darkness, looking at Yu Sheng.
The next second, Brawny Man, with long sloppy hair, slowly walked out of the room and looked at Yu Sheng, full of ferocious fighting spirit.
"You are strong!"
Brawny Man said coldly.
"Hmm."
Yu Sheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Brawny Man's point of view.
"Are you willing to offer Sin City?"
Seeing that the murderous intent in Brawny Man's eyes became more and more obvious, and that he might even attack him at any time, Yu Sheng asked again.
"Why?"
Compared with Old Man, the sound of Brawny Man is very short.
"Well..."
"You can fight."
"Fight against many people who are better than you."
Yu Sheng thought carefully and said solemnly.
