Zhao Xiaokui told Shen Zhifei about Su Mingyue's invitation to join the Nightcrawler team.
Shen Zhifei didn't give an answer right away, but asked: "What do you think?"
Zhao Xiaokui observed her face and said, "I want to join a little bit."
In order to emphasize her own words, she also had a little bit of distance between her thumb and little finger, "Just think a little bit."
Shen Zhifei asked: "Did they say when they want you to reply?"
Zhao Xiaokui shook his head, "No, you can reply whenever you should, listen to Su Mingyue's tone, this is not mandatory, at most it is an invitation."
Shen Zhifei said: "Then don't worry, you can push me the business card of her official account that you pay attention to, I will study it first, and then give you a reply, okay?"
"Ok, Ok!"
Some troublesome things were done. Of course, Zhao Xiaokui couldn't ask for it, and immediately pushed the official account to Shen Zhifei.
Because he was driving, Shen Zhifei did not check, but continued to ask Zhao Xiaokui about what he saw today.
In the process, Zhao Xiaokui remembered about Bai Jingru.
She said to Shen Zhifei: "By the way, Bai Jingru was rescued. You don't know, she was terrible when she was rescued. She was like a fool, skinny and skinny."
"There is no danger, right?"
"No, I didn't take any action, Lin Bai and the others solved the problem. They are ordinary people, and they just picked up Nightcrawler's amnesiac."
Shen Zhifei tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, and said, "I see."
When the sky just turned white, Bai Jingru, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes.
Initially, her eyes were still muddy, as if she was immersed in a nightmare, not yet awake.
After a while, she gradually found Qingming back and looked at where she was.
There is no doubt that this is the single ward of the hospital.
The wounds on her body have been properly treated, and the indwelling needle is inserted in the arm by the bed, and the liquid in the infusion bottle at the end of the thin tube has been mostly gone.
weak.
pain.
exhausted.
She felt like her body was like a puddle of mud.
So dirty and so dilapidated.
Her heart is empty, and the enthusiasm for life in the past has disappeared, leaving only a cold wind whistling.
She didn't know why she was still alive.
She would rather die herself.
The memory of the past half month is not clear, but the man's hideous smile, filthy words, and all kinds of obscene actions linger in her mind.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she would remember the scene of herself kneeling in front of the man like a dog.
Disgusted her.
She was so angry that she couldn't wait to have a knife in her hand, so that she could stab the man's body hard.
At the same time, she was so powerless.
She was lying on the hospital bed, looking sideways at the sky, watching the morning glow of the sky being stained a little bit of golden, and the sunlight penetrated the glass window and spilled onto her face.

She suddenly remembered the little girl she saw when she woke up. She seemed to see her standing in front of her again, with a smile sweeter than honey.
She moved her fingers, trying to grab the little girl's hand. The nurse who was changing the fluid was startled by her, and then she noticed her waking up.
"How do you feel when you wake up?"
Although what happened to Bai Jingru was well concealed, the nurses and doctors in the hospital could always guess what happened to her based on the wounds on her body.
Bai Jingru heard the pity in the nurse's voice, but she didn't care. Instead, she turned her head and asked, "Where are my parents?"
"Mrs. Bai fainted yesterday, and she is still lying on the hospital bed. Mr. Bai is accompanying her."
As he was talking, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the corridor outside the ward.
The door was slammed open, and Bai Jingru cast his eyes lightly, seeing his parents who seemed to be dozens of years old.
The white mother who was supported by her husband, tears fell when she saw her daughter. She hurriedly walked over and grabbed Bai Jingru's hand, "Ruru, Ruru..."
Father Bai stood aside, looking at his indifferent daughter, his heart ached, and his eyes were red. He put his hand on his wife's shoulder, and the nurse who had changed the medicine left wisely, and took the door with him when he left.
"What do you want to do?" Father Bai asked.
"I want to kill him myself." Bai Jingru raised her head and looked at Father Bai with a cruel voice, "Can you?"
Father Bai nodded, "Yes."
Zhao Xiaokui was chatting with Su Mingyue, only to know that Liu Qiang had died.
It was said that he died in the detention center. When the prisoner was fighting, he was stabbed to death with a cold knife.
Zhao Xiaokui's first reaction was not that Liu Qiang died, but that there was a knife in the detention center.
"The prisoner who enters the detention center can even hide a knife?"
The news from Su Mingyue seemed a bit meaningful, "Of course prisoners in the detention center can't, but some people can."
Zhao Xiaokui didn't know, so he showed the news to Shen Zhifei. Shen Zhifei took a look and understood, "The people from the Bai family have taken action."
"So cruel?"
Shen Zhifei noticed that Zhao Xiaokui was shaking her body inexplicably, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm just a little uncomfortable." Even though she was used to seeing life and death in the mermaid world, and even killed a vampire herself, when she heard that one life was gone, she still felt that she was covered with a layer of blood. Goosebumps, "Although I also think Liu Qiang is dead, but..."
But in her opinion, even if Liu Qiang died, he should die in the trial of the law.
But if the Bai family did something wrong, she couldn't say it.

If someone close to her has suffered injuries like Bai Jingru's, I'm afraid she is even crazier than Bai's family.
Shen Zhifei rubbed her head without speaking.
There are so many absolute blacks and whites in the world, and only children have always believed in the existence of fairness and justice.
But she didn't want Zhao Xiaokui to see too much darkness inside. She changed the subject and said: "The invitation from the V family, I hope you can be their spokesperson for Asia this year. Do you want to go?"
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaokui, who couldn't understand why the topic jumped here, was confused, "What V family?"
After a while, she said in hindsight: "V family? That luxury brand? A bag that costs more than 100,000 yuan? Ask me to be the endorsement? They are crazy."
She was full of disbelief. Shen Zhifei knew that she must have not checked her mailbox. She said: "The cooperative relationship between the V family and the Bai family has always been very good. This should be a resource that the Bai family has sent to repay you."
"No, I have retired. They asked me as an endorsement, didn't they make a loss-making business..."
Zhao Xiaokui didn't worry about how the Bai family knew. Her face was swiped on the Internet a few days ago. It was strange that the Bai family could not find her.
Shen Zhifei, who sent Zhao Xiaokui's news to the desk of the Bai family, smiled while watching her tangled.
Shen Zhifei said: "V Family is an old brand. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a spokesperson or not. The new Asian endorsements this time are obviously for you."
"But I have retired..."
Shen Zhifei turned the computer screen in front of her, let her read the contents of the mailbox, and said, "The endorsement fee they promised..."
The series of numbers flashed Zhao Xiaokui's eyes.
This is why Shen Zhifei confirmed that this resource is a gift from the Bai family.
Even if it is the endorsement of V's Asian region, the price is far beyond the industry level.
This is a string of numbers that Zhao Xiaokui could not refuse at all.
"But Nightcrawler..."
She also wanted to struggle, Shen Zhifei said: "Actually, working in the entertainment industry does not affect your identity in Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler has a non-staff staff to prepare for those extraordinary who cannot join Nightcrawler full-time. Yes, the treatment is the same as that of full members. Except for the mandatory missions that must participate three times a month, you can decide whether or not to be called at other times. Of course, the bonus will follow the number of missions. The basic points in the team will be less than that of the regular members. A little bit, but I don’t think it will affect you much."
"But the entertainment industry is so troublesome..."
Zhao Xiaokui felt a headache thinking about the people and things he had to deal with.
"Don't worry about this. I can set up a studio specifically for you to solve everything."
Zhao Xiaokui opened his mouth, "It's too much trouble..."
Shen Zhifei stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, and asked her with a smile, "Don't you think you can't make so much money on your own?"
"Not..."
"Then it's so decided, I will ask the secretary to contact you with a professional agent, set up your studio, and work for you alone."
Zhao Xiaokui, who couldn't say a few words from beginning to end: "..."
I didn't say anything, so how come everything is decided?
She always felt like she was being tricked by Shen Zhifei.
But she couldn't find the traces of the routine, so she could only respond stupidly, and patted her chest to ensure that she would work hard to write songs and make money, and live up to the cultivation of Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen calmly sent a message to his secretary so that she was ready to contact the V family.
"Hey..." Zhao Xiaokui sighed suddenly.
Shen Zhifei looked at her, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xiaokui rested his chin and said, "I think you are too kind to me."
Shen Zhifei raised his eyebrows, "So..."
"Shen Zhifei, why are you so good to me?"
Sometimes, Zhao Xiaokui felt that Shen Zhifei was too good to him.
Okay, it worries her, not knowing how she can return it.
Shen Zhifei's hand hitting the keyboard paused.
Why is she so good to Zhao Xiaokui?
She asked Zhao Xiaokui, "I treat you well, don't you like it?"
"Like is like, that is..."
"Then don't think about it so much, besides, you saved my life from the vampire. Isn't your life-saving grace enough to make me treat you so well?"
"but……"
Shen Zhifei suddenly shouted, "Zhao Xiaokui."
Zhao Xiaokui was confused, "Huh?"
Shen Zhifei walked over, held her face in his hand, and got close to her, "Zhao Xiaokui, I treat you so well because you deserve to be treated like this, you know?"
"You don't have to worry about gains or losses, and you don't have to worry about being abandoned by me. You are good enough to be worthy of what I did to you."
"Besides," she chuckled, "Saving grace, you should promise me personally, I even belong to you. Be nice to you, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xiaokui blushed, looking at Shen Zhifei's smiling eyes, not knowing what to say.
She brushed and stood up from the sofa, "I, I remember that the water has not soaked today, I will go to the bathroom first, bye!"
Looking at her back, the smile on Shen Zhifei's face slowly receded.
She may never know how warm the hand she stretched out at that night when death was constantly approaching.

Midara: Requiem
"When the alternative is extinction, all acts, no matter how heinous, are permitted." The story of a little necromancer who only wants to play with abominations against all that is holy dollies and her horsey, Mister Clackybones. Welcome to the novelization of one script I designed for a video game setting I call Midara (I selected the name of a genus of moths for symbolism purposes, not to be confused with anything else). Once upon a time, I dreamed of the setting being the next Final Fantasy. Long story short: Nope. Requiem itself is meant to be an Open-World RPG which adapts to the choices of the player. This is just one of many, many paths that one might follow in Requiem's gameplay, if it ever becomes a game.
