The children who had been exposed to the world's malice from the day they were born seemed to be more sensitive than those who grew up in the normal world, but at the same time, they were duller.

They were keenly aware of the approaching danger, but after a brief moment of panic, they all calmed down. They obediently and passively accepted the inspection of the two masked men. Their faces showed an almost numb expression, as if they had given up on fear.

The skinny Kanna Tomosuke seemed to have been treated as one of the children in the orphanage.

She was searched, her phone was taken away and trampled to pieces.

One of the masked men lifted her chin and looked at her from head to toe as if he was inspecting a product.

His rough movements hurt Kanai and pulled her back to reality.

"Tsk.

This kid is the only one who looks like it. "

The masked man let go of her hand and patted her face as if he hadn't had enough of her.

"Her face is quite cute — but a little too skinny."

The other masked man clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Mr. Lizard, is this the 'product' you have carefully selected?"

He grabbed the hair of a girl with a cleft lip and lifted her deformed face, exposing it to the sunlight.

"This one is an ugly freak."

He let go of her and walked over to another one-armed boy. He clenched his right fist and punched the boy's armless shoulder.

The boy lost his balance and fell backwards. Fortunately, the other children behind him blocked his fall and prevented him from falling to the ground.

The masked man did not look at the boy and said to the lizard man, "This one is disabled."

"And these two." He pointed at Xiao Mei and Xiao Ye — the pair of autistic siblings — who were still looking at each other and playing the 'game'.

"Their bodies look fine, but their brains are damaged."

He turned his head and looked at the lizard man, "This kind of quality — I don't know where you found them — is not good enough for the boss."

He walked to the side disinterestedly and waved at his masked companion, "I knew this piece of trash wouldn't do. Let the stupid lizard deal with these children.

Let's go. "

"Oh," his companion answered vaguely, and followed him.

The lizard man panicked as he watched the two masked men walk further and further away.

He quickly chased after them, not even caring about the children who were still standing at the side. "What?

Wait, wait — "

Looking at the backs of the two people, he was so anxious that his speech became incoherent. "That money … My debt … How are we going to pay for the debt we agreed on?

And that old woman … those children … What, to, what do you want me to do? "

"What?" The two men who had walked quite a distance away did not even look back.

"Even if you used your toes to think, you still wouldn't be able to repay your debt, right?

Don't tell me you still want the three million dollars — we're already being kind by not to you.

Understood? "

"But, But!

In order to repay my debt, I stole a car, kidnapped a child, and even killed someone!

I've already come this far. You can't just leave me alone! '

Whether it's the Dark Net or the organ trade — I can at least pay for it, right?

Please — "The lizard man humbly followed behind them, his tone almost begging.

"Dark Net?

Organ trade?

You sure have guts. "The masked man finally stopped and looked at the lizard man.

"Why should we take such risks?

Besides, did we ask you to steal cars, kidnap children, and kill people? "There was a hint of mockery in his voice as he looked at the lizard man like he was looking at a dead man.

The lizard man was stunned.

He felt dizzy and a strong sense of despair swept over him.

"That's right, we only said that as long as we find the right children — the more the better — we can consider paying off your debt."

The other masked man continued, "It's your own stupidity that forced you to use such a method — Why should we pay for your stupidity?

We only wanted to give it a try, but we didn't expect you to be even more useless than we thought. "

"— It's your own fault for not seizing the opportunity, don't blame us for being heartless." The masked man's words seemed to be the last straw that broke the lizard man's back.

Countless fragmented scenes flashed before his eyes.

Useless.

Useless.

Countless different faces: those he was familiar with, those he wasn't familiar with, those he loved, and those he hated — all of them said the same thing to him with a look of disappointment or mockery.

Why do I always mess things up?

Why can't I seize the opportunity?

He roared in his heart.

Because you're an idiot.

Everyone in his memory answered him in unison.

Am I really an idiot?

He glared with his blood-red eyes, a sense of helplessness ignited from the bottom of his heart.

No, it can't be.

I'm just at my wits' end — I have no choice!

I'm already in so much pain, but all they do is watch from the sidelines!

It's them who deserve to die!

Why can't they give me another chance?!

Why must fate force me to bear all of this?!

As his breathing became heavier, the lizard man seemed to hear the sound of his sanity breaking.

"You bunch of animals —" He clenched his fists that were wrapped in hard scales, roaring as he charged at the two masked men who were about to leave.

"I'll kill you!!!"

But in the next second, a burst of intense pain extinguished the anger he had just ignited.

One of the masked men grabbed his wrist, and a few seconds later, blood started to seep out from the gaps between his fingers.

The lizard man flung the masked man's hand away and took a few steps back.

He clutched his wrist as his body trembled from the pain.

On the wrist that had just been grabbed, there was a wound. The wound was very deep, and blood was gushing out.

"Wha — what?

You — "The lizard man's face finally showed fear as he never thought that his hard protective layer could be cut open so easily.

The pain made him unable to maintain his personality, and his green scales started to peel off, revealing the pale skin underneath.

"What? You're the only one who's allowed to use your personality, but you never thought that I would use my personality against you?"

The masked man shook the blood off his hand in disdain as he looked down at the lizard man who was bent over in pain.

He leaned closer to the lizardman's face that had reverted back to its human form and whispered, "What do you think our organization is? Do you think we would obediently abide by the principle of 'no personality' and play house with you?"

The lizard man's eyes widened.

He was completely awake.

He finally remembered what kind of trap he had been dragged into — — He should have known when he agreed to make a deal with the darkness.

They never wanted to let him go.

They wanted him to fall into the Dark World and become their cannon fodder and pawn — never to be able to rise again.

And the masked man who had been silent all this while said something that made the lizard man who was already filled with despair feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Where are the children just now?

Why aren't they there anymore? "The masked man suddenly asked.

As soon as the masked man said that, the three realized that they had been entangled for too long and had completely forgotten about the children's existence.

The lizardmen panicked and turned around to look around. They even unconsciously loosened their hands that were covering their wounds.

"They ran away?

Looks like they're not all idiots after all. "

The masked man chuckled. "But how far can they run in a place like this — — they really don't know their own limits."

"It's not easy to come here, it's boring to just go back like this." The masked man stretched his body and turned to speak to his companion.

"Let's just help him find the children — — look at him, he's about to pee his pants."

"That's fine too." The other masked man nodded in agreement.

He then turned to the lizard man and said: "Then you'll owe us another favor — — don't even think about running away, those children saw your face."

The lizard man nodded and continued: "You can do whatever you want with those children, as long as you return the money, we promise that we won't disturb your life from now on — — consider this favor as a gift from us." The masked man's tone sounded like he was giving alms.

"Stay on the side of the road, we'll be back soon."

… …

Kanna Tomosuke was trying to escape with the children. She truly felt that everything that happened was a miracle bestowed upon her by God.

Putting aside the fact that the driver who kidnapped them had a conflict with the people who came to pick them up, she was also surprised by how quiet and obedient the children were under her command.

In the past, when she was in the orphanage, there were always a few children who disobeyed her discipline and made a fuss at inappropriate times and places — — but she knew that it was not because they did it on purpose, but because their stunted brains could not control themselves well.

But at this moment, they were surprisingly fulfilling Kanna Tomosuke's expectations so perfectly.

Until the kidnappers completely disappeared from her sight, the children gathered together in an orderly manner, barely making any noise.

Kanna Tomosuke looked so calm that it was unlike her usual self.

But in fact, just praying that the children would not fall or make any noise while moving had already exhausted all her energy.

Her mind was highly concentrated, but it was also chaotic.

While she was looking for a place to hide, she even felt that a part of her soul seemed to have been pulled out of her body, watching her struggle in vain and despair.

What was the right thing to do?

Could she really escape with the children?

Did she really have the strength to protect them?

The hiding place she chose seemed to be well-hidden and sturdy enough, but was it really so?

Was there a better choice?

If she made the wrong choice, could she bear the consequences?

She tried to blink so that the accumulated tears would not blur her vision.

She was just an ordinary junior high school student — — how could she know what to do!

"My cell phone was trampled and can't be used.

But there is a public phone over there … I don't know if it can still be used.

But, I have to try. I have to call the police and get someone to come and save us. We won't be able to escape by ourselves … "Kanna placed the children in a hidden corner where they wouldn't be easily discovered as she muttered to herself in a low voice. It didn't sound like she was talking to the children, but more like she was trying to convince herself.

"When I go out, you must be quiet. Don't let them find you.

If the public phone can be used, then they will be able to locate us — — then we will be saved! "

"Be good — — don't let them find you!" Kanai repeated, but she knew very well that it was just her illusory hope.

Even so.

After carefully hiding the entrance of the hiding place, she did not have time to hesitate anymore.

The public phone was a common yellow-green model. Kanna Tomosuke had already noticed it when she was looking for a hiding place with the children.

It was in a room that looked like it used to be a convenience store — — that was the place where public phones were most often set up.

The glass of the door of the convenience store had already been broken into pieces. Green vines climbed up the door frame from the broken floor tiles, hiding the public phone that might save their lives in heavy shadows.

Perhaps because she was too nervous, the way there seemed to be longer than she thought.

But fortunately, when she passed by the intersection without any cover, the three criminals were in a fierce conflict and did not notice her thin gray figure.

Kanna Tomosuke, who finally picked up the phone, felt her hands trembling violently.

The sound from the phone was the beeping sound she had heard countless times, but at this time, it was like the sound of nature to her.

It was hard to believe that although all the facilities here had been evacuated, the circuit of the public phone had not been cut off — — it was still working!

Kanna Tomosuke felt that she was almost moved to tears.

But she did not dare to waste a minute and quickly pressed "110" — — that was the number to call the police for help.

[Note 2]

"Police?

I'm Kanna Tomosuke. There are eleven children here — — all of them are from Little Stone Welfare Home. And me, I was kidnapped by three criminals … "Kanna Tomosuke said clearly in a low voice. Her hand holding the phone was covered in cold sweat and her heart was beating wildly.

The surge of adrenaline helped her — — she had always been slow and clumsy, but it seemed that she had never been so clear-headed and quick-witted as she was today.

After receiving the reply that their location had been confirmed and that the police and heroes would be dispatched immediately, Kanna Tomosuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, her heart was in her mouth again.

She hid in the shadows of the dense vines. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, she saw that the three people seemed to have stopped arguing — — they must have realized that we are no longer in the same place, so they are ready to start searching.

Kanai thought.

She saw that the uncle who could turn into a lizard seemed to have stopped maintaining his personality — — he stood in the same place, and the green scales fell off and fell around him.

The other two masked men split into two groups and searched in two different directions.

It seemed that the convenience store looked too dilapidated, so they did not choose this direction as their first search area.

Kanna Tomosuke noticed that the convenience store seemed to have a back door — — While they were not paying attention to this place, she could sneak out from the back door and hide in a place further away from their search route. She could stall for time and wait for the heroes to arrive.

But the scene that appeared in her retina stopped her in her tracks.

She saw that one of the masked men was walking in the direction of the warehouse where the children were hiding.

Indeed, most of these children were malnourished, and many of them were handicapped. It was impossible for them to run too far — with their miraculous cooperation, it was already quite difficult for Kanna to hide them in such a remote and well-hidden storehouse deep in the alleyway.

Although the masked men were still some distance away from finding them, it was only a matter of time before the children were found if they continued to search along this route.

But when would the heroes arrive?

They were brought here by car. After an hour of speeding, they arrived at a place that was even more remote and desolate than the suburbs.

Most of the heroes' offices were in the city.

It would probably take them more than a minute or two to get here.

Kanai's brain was working quickly. She watched anxiously as the masked men searched another house and walked closer to the children.

She wished that the heroes would appear in front of her in the next second.

But no matter how she prayed in her heart, the masked men's footsteps did not slow down.

She curled up in the shadow of the vines and poked her head out to look. A deep sense of powerlessness gripped her once again.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel that she had returned to the nightmarish fire scene when she was trapped in elementary school.

The kitten's screams began to disturb her again.

It had been six years since that incident.

In the past six years, she had grown a lot taller and learned a lot of self-defense skills — — but she was still as powerless as she was back then.

What was the difference between the situation now and then?

She could only watch as the children were caught by the gangsters — — they could be sold, abused, or even killed on the spot — — just like she could only watch as the kittens were helplessly burned to death in the fire.

Six years had passed, but she had not improved at all.

Kanna Tomosuke pulled her scattered hair, as if this could weaken the shrill screams that were rooted in her mind.

"A loser is a loser. It's useless to pretend." In her mind, Fireworks, who had been silent for a long time, came back.

She laughed contemptuously, and every word poked at Kanai's heart.

"You are a piece of trash, a piece of trash — — don't you understand?"

"Heroes?

That's just to coax the pitiful you who has no personality. "

"Only people like us can fight the enemy.

And you — — can only tremble in the corner like a mouse. "

"Admit it, you can't do anything."

"You can't do anything."

Kanna Tomosuke felt as if her throat was choked by something.

Could it be that she really could not hear Blazing Flower's words like she had done all these years?

Was she really so stupid that she could not understand the meaning of these words?

Was she really strong enough to deny everything she said?

No.

Absolutely not.

She always said that she wanted to be a hero in the spiritual sense.

But wasn't that also a kind of helpless compromise?

She had always known that she was weak.

She had never been a person who immediately rushed to others when they were in danger — — because she, like her parents, knew her own weight better than anyone else.

That was why they created another world in a forgotten corner, where they directed and acted out the "I am a hero" monologue.

— — But how could she not envy the vast world of real heroes?

It was just that she did not dare to say it, nor did she dare to think about it.

But now, she hated this feeling of powerlessness. She hated herself for being so helpless.

The kitten that was swallowed by the fire was still screaming.

Was she really unable to do anything?

… … If it was Xiao Hong, he would definitely solve it handsomely … … But she was different from Xiao Hong.

Even so, even so — —

The moment her stiff and curled limbs stretched out, Kanna Tomosuke felt for the first time that she might not want to be a hero so much.

She just wanted to do something — — anything — — to protect these children.

Just like in the countless crimson dreams in the past, she had risked her life again and again just to save those kittens.

… …

The masked man, who was searching along the road, suddenly heard a harsh sound from a distance — — It sounded like a trash can was kicked over.

He looked in the direction of the sound but found that no one was searching in that direction.

He sent a text message to his partner and then walked in that direction alone.

As soon as he reached the intersection, he saw a small gray figure flashing by at the end of the road.

The girl looked very flustered and clumsily knocked over the rusty trash cans on the side of the road.

— — Based on the route that the gray-haired girl ran through, the children were probably hiding in the warehouse not far away.

Thinking of this, he did not stop walking and sent another text message.

He turned a corner at the end of the road and chased in the direction that the girl ran.

But he did not see her in front of the warehouse that he predicted.

She must have hidden inside.

As he thought this, he continued to walk forward.

"I, I won't let you take another step forward!" He suddenly heard a shout.

Immediately after, he felt something hit his waist hard. A wave of intense pain hit him, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

Kanna Tomosuke was not tall and her strength was limited.

Although she had learned some self-defense skills from her father, she still lacked practical training and was quite rusty.

Her intuition hit the right place, but it was still too light — — The pain only made the masked man scream, but it did not make him bend over enough for Kanai to hit his head.

The other masked man heard the scream and finally gave up searching in his direction. He ran in the direction of his partner.

"What's going on?" he shouted.

Kanna didn't have enough strength or confidence to attack again after her first attack failed.

She took two steps back and tried to escape, but she bumped into another person who had heard the scream and came to help.

Kanai instinctively lowered her body to avoid the man's hands that were trying to grab her shoulders.

"I can't escape!" Kanai shouted to encourage herself and hit the man's abdomen with her right fist.

The adrenaline made her burst out with strength and agility that she had never had before in a crisis — — The man in front of her was caught off guard by her unexpected move, and he bent over in pain.

This time, Kanai finally seized the opportunity.

She hugged the man's neck and used her body weight to make him bend over more — — using this as leverage, she tried to push her knee up and hit the man's unguarded abdomen again and again according to the skills she had learned.

The man could not raise his head and could only stagger and twist his body in an attempt to avoid the next attack.

But focused on incapacitating the man in front of her, she ignored the existence of another person next to him.

Kanna Tomosuke did not feel any pain when she suddenly lost the strength in her right arm and fell to the ground.

But when she nimbly got up from the ground and felt the wet and warm touch on her skin, she realized what had happened just now.

The other masked man recovered from the pain. Not only did he pull her away from his partner, but he also used his own personality. He did not have any sharp weapons in his hands, but there was a cut on his right arm near the shoulder after the masked man touched it.

She could not see how deep the cut was, but in just a few seconds, blood had quickly dyed her sleeve red, and her injured right arm could not exert any strength.

Escape!

Kanai knew that she was able to succeed just now because of her sneak attack and their underestimation of her opponent.

But now, these conditions did not exist, but she had attracted enough attention.

If she wanted to buy a little more time, she had to use all her strength to dodge their attacks — — until the heroes arrived.

But could she hold on until then?

The wound caused by her carelessness was still bleeding, and it greatly limited her movements. Her adrenaline had been secreted since she was kidnapped, and it was almost reaching its limit.

She had to hold on a little longer.

She said to herself.

This time, I have to protect those children.

"I didn't expect this little girl to be so good at fighting — — interesting." The masked man said as he stretched out his dangerous hands again.

She staggered to avoid another attack from the masked man.

"Those children are in the warehouse behind you, right? You stood up to protect them?

You are very brave. "He praised her insincerely.

"Little girl, what's your personality?" It was another swift attack.

Compared to the masked man who was at ease, Kanai seemed to be in a difficult situation.

The masked man, who was curled up on the ground, seemed to be able to get up soon.

She dodged and retreated until the door of the warehouse was not far behind her.

Finally, she raised her head and looked at the masked man with her dark gray eyes.

"I won't let you pass."

Even in such a disadvantageous situation, her eyes were still incomparably resolute, shining with an unyielding light under the sunlight.

"I will protect them — — absolutely." She muttered to herself.

For some reason, the masked man, who met her eyes, suddenly felt that his movements seemed to be blocked for a moment — — as if his body was moved by her strong will.

"Is this her personality?

Interesting. "

He thought so and slightly tightened his muscles — — the blockage disappeared.

"But this is too weak!"

He sneered in his heart.

But Kanna Tomosuke knew nothing about this. She only knew how to use this inexplicable pause to move to his side.

In this way, she could avoid the range of his arms and attack his weak waist and ribs.

She could not use her right arm.

So she had to move to his left and hit his side with all the strength of her left arm.

"Even if it's just for a short while — — Get down!"

She shouted, clenched her left hand into a fist, and punched his ribs with all the strength in her body.

But obviously, the few seconds she bought were too short. She did not have the time to assume the best posture like she did during training.

Her movements were a little distorted due to her nervousness. Her slender wrist, which was not protected by the bandage, hurt from the impact.

The masked man staggered from the blow and moved a little further away from her.

But that wasn't the effect that Kanna was expecting. They were still too close to each other.

He only needed to jump up and take two or three steps to catch her easily.

But she did not have enough space to retreat.

The knowledge she learned told her that she could not run away in this situation. It would be more dangerous to expose her back to the masked man.

Only by fighting and making him lose his ability to move could she have a chance to escape.

But those theoretical knowledge did not tell her so clearly and cruelly what the disparity in strength, body size, and numbers meant.

The other masked man finally got up from the ground.

Kanai took a deep breath.

The wound on her arm was too big to stop the bleeding by simply pressing on it. She suddenly felt dizzy. The feeling of blood loss was transmitted to her brain before the pain.

"You're so useless. How could you be beaten up by a little girl like this?" The masked man who had just gotten up said to his companion as he approached Kanai.

"You have the nerve to talk about me?

Who was the one who couldn't get up from the ground just now? "The other masked man held his aching ribs and retorted mercilessly.

"Hmph.

I underestimated you. "He snorted and took a big step forward.

Kanai was attacked from both sides. She could not dodge in time. Her hair was grabbed, and she was forced to look up to meet his eyes.

"Be careful of her eyes. It's a little strange. I think it has something to do with her personality." The masked man next to him reminded.

"Hmm?

Eyes? "

Kanai heard him laugh. Through the black cloth, it sounded muffled. "Then why don't we have a competition to see whose eyes are better?"

He put his face close to Kanai's, and his fierce eyes locked onto Kanai's eyes.

Like a firework exploding in her eyes, Kanai suddenly saw a dazzling light flash in front of her eyes.

Then, she was hit by a sharp pain, and her world fell into darkness.

Kanai felt two hot streams flowing down her cheeks.

She screamed and covered her eyes as she squatted down. The sharp pain made her highly nervous brain stop working, and the sudden darkness made her helpless.

"Laser gun." She heard a cold voice above her head.

"How's the smell?

Although the laser can't penetrate almost anything, it's very useful as a blinding weapon. "

"Based on her reaction, the group of children must be in the warehouse in front." The voice seemed to be further away from her. "She shouldn't be able to move now.

Go and call the lizardmen over. I'll open the warehouse door. "

But before he could take a step around Kanai's curled body, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingers.

Kanna had a death grip on Seiji's right pinky finger, and she forcefully pulled it back.

He could not help but bend down in the direction of the pull to relieve the pain of the ligaments that were about to tear.

"What — —" He cried out in pain, looking in disbelief at the young girl who had clearly been blinded by the flames.

But the gray-haired girl just kept silent. She staggered to her feet and used all her strength to press down on his knuckles and wrist, trying to pin his right arm behind his back. Her face was already covered in blood, but she still wanted to resist.

"You really want to do this the hard way. How long do you think you can struggle?!" The masked man who could cut objects with his touch was not far away.

When he saw this, he quickly walked over and grabbed Kanna's left arm, which was still trembling and uninjured.

The next second, hot blood spurted out.

Her left hand uncontrollably loosened.

She was kicked hard in the ribs.

She almost flew out and hit the warehouse door. The wounds on her arms rubbed against the wall, leaving two shocking bloody marks.

After coughing out a mouthful of hot, rusty liquid, Kanai finally felt that she could breathe again.

But she could not move her arms. Even if she struggled hard, she could not stand up.

The massive blood loss made her weak, and waves of dizziness began to sweep over her.

In fact, ever since her eyes were burned by the laser, she had sunk into darkness, but strange things had inexplicably started to appear in her vision.

At first, it was just a blurry bright light spot, flickering in the void.

But later, when she tried to stop the masked man who was preparing to go to the warehouse, the light spots suddenly became denser.

They gathered together, outlining a faint human figure wrapped in a fog-like halo.

The outline only existed for a short moment, and then scattered into sparse light spots again. But Kanai had seen it clearly.

She did not have time to think about what the thing in front of her meant. At this moment, she could only choose to follow her intuition.

At the place where the outline of the arm disappeared, she successfully held the man's little finger.

When she pulled his finger back, Kanai seemed to "see" that the color of the scattered light spots seemed to have changed. Unfortunately, she could not understand the meaning behind the change.

She found that the more she focused, the more dense the flashing light spots were, and the clearer the outline was.

But the blood loss made it harder and harder for her to concentrate.

Her body became heavier and heavier. Even when she saw another cluster of light approaching, she had no time to react.

How long has it been?

At the moment when she fell heavily to the ground, Kanai could not help but think in despair.

How long can I delay it?

Can I, no, we — hold on until the heroes arrive?

Kanna tried in vain to widen her unfocused and bleeding eyes. She could only helplessly "watch" as the three balls of light gathered together and kicked open the door to the warehouse next to her.

Through her chaotic brain, she suddenly saw the three clusters of light as burning flames. Everything returned to that dusk, just like the scene she had dreamed countless times. The flames were about to mercilessly devour everything, and no matter how she struggled, she could not change the final outcome.

The kitten's scream was still in her ears, as if it would never stop.

"Stop —!!" Kanai heard her almost inaudible cry.

She herself could not tell whether this sentence was referring to the kitten's scream or the three people who were about to break into the warehouse.

…

Before Andwar and the other heroes arrived at the scene, none of them thought about what they would see.

It was only ten minutes from the time they received the mission to the location. Not far from the location of the public phone, a fierce battle seemed to have happened.

Far from the warehouse where Kanna Tomosuke was, they had already smelled the stench of blood in the air.

It was quiet all around. They could neither hear the cries for help nor see the kidnappers — this was not a good sign.

Andwar walked in the front and could not help but be vigilant.

But when he got closer, the scene in front of him made him, who had been through hundreds of battles, feel a little surprised.

At the end of the road, at the door of the warehouse, three men were lying on the ground, but there was no blood on their bodies. Not far away, a girl with bloodstains on her face leaned weakly against the wall. There was a large pool of blood on the ground beside her.

There was no doubt that she was seriously injured and was on the verge of shock.

… Those three people were probably the kidnappers mentioned when they called the police.

But why did they all fall down now?

Ambush?

… No, it did not look like it.

Could it be that the girl took down the three kidnappers by herself?

With this thought in mind, Andwar sent a signal to the medical team that came with him and continued to move in the direction of the girl.

Strange.

Why does this little girl look a little familiar?

Before he could clear his thoughts, Andwar suddenly felt his body become heavy.

A strong sense of dizziness hit him. His tall body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

He felt that his vision was pitch black.

There was a burning pain in his eye sockets, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

His breathing became rapid, and his heart was beating wildly. But his limbs were getting colder and colder.

The feeling of lack of oxygen began to spread. The sharp pain that spread throughout his body was rapidly overdrawing all his strength.

Is this … a blood loss reaction?!

After the initial shock, Andwar quickly calmed down.

He scanned his body to make sure that he did not have any wounds. Then, he looked at the girl leaning against the wall of the warehouse. He seemed to understand something.

He forced his body to stand up and slowly moved backward.

Sure enough, as the distance between him and the girl increased, the uncomfortable feeling of losing blood to the point of almost going into shock gradually weakened and disappeared.

… Is this her personality?

Andwar thought.

That might explain why the ruffians had fallen there.

The children were probably in the warehouse behind her. He had to save them quickly.

The girl's injuries could not be delayed any longer.

"I'm Andwar!

I'm the hero who is here to save you!

Can the little girl over there hear me? "Andwar shouted in the direction of the girl.

"I'm here to save you!

You can take back your personality now! "

But the girl did not respond at all.

She was in a state of semi-shock and had completely entered her own world. She instinctively chased away all outsiders who trespassed into her territory.

The other heroes also rushed over.

But in this situation, they also felt that it was a little tricky.

"It seems that we can only knock her out," one of the heroes said.

"But now that she has lost so much blood, it would be worse if she fell asleep completely." Another hero disagreed.

"We can't drag it out like this. Fortunately, I'm here."

Midnight ran his fingers through his hair and said proudly, "I'm the only one who can make someone fall asleep without causing any secondary damage. Although the effect on women is slightly worse than on men."

"It can be done, but now the problem is, how do we get close to her?" An assistant hero suddenly said.

"We have also tried. As long as we are within five meters of her, we will feel more and more intense blood loss reaction.

I'm afraid that when we get close to her, we will be unable to move like the other three. "

It had to be said that this personality could be considered strange.

Everyone fell into a short silence.

The huge warehouse blocked the flow of the wind, making it difficult for Midnight's personality to work from a distance.

What's more, the sleeping incense was not as effective on women as it was on men. It needed to be closer to achieve the effect.

"It's not difficult." Midnight put on a serious expression.

"Can't we just parachute in?"

"If we don't save her, I'm afraid that the girl's blood will run dry." She said and took a few steps back.

Then, she ran up and leaped forward the moment she was about to step into the five-meter range.

She had already pulled open her combat suit in mid-air, and the purple sleeping incense drew a beautiful arc with her body in mid-air.

This personality that could affect people's perception seemed to form a field in the air. Even in mid-air, Midnight felt the increasingly suffocating symptoms of blood loss.

Following the call of gravity, the moment she fell to the ground, Midnight's buzzing brain almost could not feel the pain.

She was lying very close to the girl, but she was blinded and in severe pain, unable to move at all.

Fortunately, the sleeping incense took effect in a few seconds.

The girl still maintained her original position, but the influence of her personality finally faded away.

Andwar and the others could finally go forward and take away the three criminals who had fallen asleep under the influence of Midnight's personality.

The medical staff finally seized the opportunity and rushed forward, carrying the girl who was almost covered in blood on a stretcher.

Andwar could now see her face covered in blood at a close distance.

"It's her?" Andwar could not help but exclaim in surprise.

"Why, do you know this girl?" The hero beside him heard him muttering to himself and could not help but ask.

But Andwar did not immediately answer the question.

He silently watched as the girl, who looked extremely miserable, was hurriedly sent to the ambulance.

"Ah." He responded vaguely.

"… Sort of."

However, the heroes did not find the children in the warehouse behind the tragic battlefield.

After a search, they finally found a dozen children huddled together in the corner in the opposite direction.

They were unharmed except for some uneasiness.

Until now.

Only then did everyone understand what had happened.

The skinny gray-haired girl was desperately guarding a completely fake shelter. She had successfully attracted their attention and deceived everyone, just to buy a little more time for the vicious gangsters to discover the real hiding place of the children a little later.

No one would have thought that the commission would be resolved in such a way. The girl who looked so thin and small, in such a tragic way, took on the responsibility of stopping the villains before the heroes arrived.

On the way back, Andwar was the most silent of all of them.

He recalled the marks he had seen on the bodies of the gangsters. This girl must have fought back bravely.

It was hard to imagine that she fought to the last moment with no personality, until the insurmountable power gap and the weakness of losing a lot of blood finally overwhelmed her.

But even so, she did not give in.

Her personality that broke out in a desperate situation. If you dig deeper … I'm afraid it's not as simple as it looks on the surface.

But, does she still have such a chance?

With this in mind, Andwar finally broke the silence.

"Which hospital was the girl sent to?"
