099, stand high to speak

I'm just an abandoned pawn.

It took Yin Hao to realize for a long time that this should be the answer to the driver's question just now. Blackcuran is suspected that he is not a big man, but an abandoned pawn.

Didn't he lose his memory? Why did you say such a thing?

After the new carriage arrived, everyone continued to move forward. The second half of the road went smoothly. There was no violent Warcraft stop, and it arrived in Marde a few hours later than the scheduled time.

It's completely dark, and the streets in the city are very quiet. Marde is a tourist city that is still developing, and even the street lights are not complete. Looking around the streets, the lights that do not shine look like two rows of ferocious monsters.

"Why is it so quiet?" Elena looked around uneasily, "It's like entering a ghost town."

Everyone feels this strange silence. Normally, in an emerging tourist city, it should be very prosperous at night. Now it happens to be the flowering period of pansy. It doesn't make sense that no one can be seen on the street.

Although it is occasionally seen that one or two families are lit, it is still insignificant compared with the darkness of the whole city. Marde is like falling into a dark swamp, dull and depressing.

After walking for a while, Blackcurrant suddenly squatted down, sniffed under a lamppost, and then went around to a darker alley to check. Xiaohei, what are you doing? Yin followed him puzzledly and saw that he turned over the pizza box at the edge of the trash can with his toes, as if he thought.

"Something great has happened in this city." Blackcurrant replied calmly.

Inexplicably, he squatted down and looked at the unfinished box of pizza. He didn't see any way, so he asked, "What's the great thing? Why can't I see it?"

Everyone else also gathered around. Kelly imitated him and smelled it under the lamppost and said, "Why didn't I smell anything? Dude, what on earth did you find?"

"I'm afraid most of the people here have not been out of the door for a long time," Blackcurrant said, pointing to the lamppost. "Generally, there are dogs pee under the lamppost at the intersection, and this kind of unfinished pizza is usually divided by cats."

"Dogs always act with their owners, but cats like group gatherings. There are only signs of cat activity and no sign of dog activity, which proves that there are still many people living in the city, but they dare not come out to move even during the day, so you speculate that there have been a terrible serial murders in the city?" Alex asked with a smile.

Blackcurrant didn't say anything, but said to Yin, "Don't leave me."

Yin was stunned. He said the same thing when he was in Crescent Town, and in Crescent Town... "Vampire?"

The two girls in the company were so scared that they covered their mouths. Pars asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly mention vampires? Does Marde have rumors about vampires?"

"No, I just remembered the vampire incident that was involved in Marco Polo before," Yin couldn't help feeling creepy, because the original vampire incident seemed to point to herself. "Think about it carefully, the Marcopolis City at that time was very similar to the current feeling. There were many people in Mingming City, but it was late. But it was terribly quiet."

It's just that at that time, they were hungry at night and could find roadside stalls. Now, they can't see anyone across several streets. It seems that the situation is much more serious than Marco Polo.

Driven by a sense of crisis, everyone accelerated their pace and casually found a hotel to stay in. Joey wanted to ask the boss what was going on in the city, but the boss didn't seem to be willing to say it and asked them not to mind their own business.

After entering the room, Yin closed the door and said, "I always feel a little subtle. Although the boss of Crescent Town was very immoral, he would still remind us of danger, but the boss here didn't want to mention it at all."

Blackcurrant sat numbly in ** motionless, locked the doors and windows, sat down face to face with him, and asked seriously, "Xiaohei, are you really amnesiac or pretending to be amnesia?" Why do you remember all those messy things, but you forget me completely?

"I don't know." Blackcurrant's answer was very straightforward, but it was also very annoying.

Yin kicked him unhappily: "I don't even remember who I am, and he said don't leave you. If you can't remember it again, just go out and kill yourself!"

Blackcurrant's calm eyes fell on her face. After a long time, she said, "Someone wants to kill you."

In fact, it proved that the killer's sixth sense was amazingly accurate. The next day, everyone was woken up at dawn. When he went out to inquire, someone was killed, and as in Xinyue Town, Panshi Town and Marcopoli, a young girl under 20 was bitten through the blood vessels in her neck and died.

"How could it be like this..." Yin was almost unsteady.

Both sides of the street where the hotel is located are full of frightened citizens. Most of them come out of their homes and listen anxiously to the city guard soldiers with live ammunition announcing the information of the victims last night, and repeatedly reminding them to pay attention to safety at night. Yin saw many girls of her age covering their faces and sobbing, as if they were trembling for the bad luck that would come to her one day.

A captain with a horn in his hand shouted loudly: "Please pay close attention to everyone around you and don't let go of any suspicious person. All clues can be provided to us. Don't let go of anyone who you think may be a vampire!"

Yin and his party looked at each other in contemptuation and finally knew why Marde was so exaggerated. The young girls were afraid to go out because they were afraid of death, while others were even more afraid of being caught as vampires. They would be nailed to death by the cross with mahogany nails. Who dares to joke about their little life?

"Look over there!" Elena's eyes were sharp. At the end of the patrol, she saw two tied men. The people who came to them looked at them with anger and fear, and the children spit at them and were pulled back by their parents.

Pars said with a sad expression, "Those two are probably new suspects. According to the law of the duchy, vampires will be nailed through the heart and slowly bleed to death. If it is mistakenly caught..." Someone next to him immediately retorted, "Is it better to catch it by mistake than not? Did you watch those innocent girls die one by one? If you catch it like this, the vampire will show his true face sooner or later.

Elena couldn't bear to say, "How can you say that? The dead girls are innocent, but the people who were caught by mistake are also innocent. Are their lives worthless?

Her voice was louder than before, and she immediately covered the gossip along the street and attracted the attention of the city guard. A soldier came to her and looked at her suspiciously: "What did you just say?"

After all, Elena was born as a princess. She was not afraid of his threatening and questioning eyes at all. She resolutely replied, "It's not right for you to do this!" If you kill these innocent people, vampires will continue to harm people. If you can't confirm that a person is a criminal, you can't be executed according to the law!"

The soldier smiled, his laughter was very arrogant, and he could hear that he was in a bad mood. He said, "Miss, are you doubting our ability? Unless you can catch a real vampire, don't be rude here. I will arrest you for obstructing law enforcement. With that, he also pulled out half of the sword to show his threat.

Elena will continue to say that she has been stopped by Alex: "I'm sorry, my daughter is still young and ignorant, but she is too sympathetic and has no other meaning." The soldier snorted, put the sword back to its sheath, caught up with the team and left the street.

As soon as the soldiers left, the people on the street also dispersed. Elena asked angrily, "Dad, why don't you say something and watch them kill innocent people indiscriminately like this? Can you feel at ease?"

Alex sighed: "Arena, I know how you feel, but first of all, this is Beria, not the way to speak. We don't have the right to speak. Secondly, although there will be many innocent victims, it is better than doing nothing. Everyone doesn't want the dead to be innocent. We can only blame him. At this time, we don't know how to restrain and have been caught.

Elena looked at him in disbelief: "It's hard to imagine that you said this. No matter what the original intention is, it is illegal to kill innocent people! No reason can rationalize this kind of behavior!"

Alex smiled bitterly and seemed unable to refute her words. Elena turned around and ran into the hotel. Joey chased her upstairs. The maid's words of comforting the princess came faintly, but Elena, who had always had a good temper, roared loudly. It seemed that she was really angry.

"I think Elena is right," although she knows that she has no right to talk too much about things between father and daughter, Yin can't help saying, "No one has the right to reasonably legalize the death of innocent people."

Alex stretched out his hand helplessly: "Reason and law seem to be rules that most people agree with, but in the eyes of those who violate morality and law, maybe these are all nonsense? If you were born to accept the legal [vertical and horizontal] theory of killing, wouldn't you feel strange that someone would kill you here?

Yin squeezed her lips and stared at him for a while before asking, "Do you want to tell me that my mother deserves to die?"

"No, I just want to tell you that reason and law are only the rules used by a small number of people to manage most people. You have no right to question it, because your existence is too insignificant. Only when you stand high enough can you break those concepts that are actually incorrect but are deeply rooted in people's hearts."

His words were like a stone thrown, which aroused ripples in the dead water in the depths of Yin's heart. Only by standing high enough can he change what he thinks is wrong, and make those who think they are not wrong can bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

"I know what you mean," she bent the corners of her mouth. "Then let me catch this vicious vampire!"
