Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

I sat on the dining seat by the window, looking at the corner basin on the terrace outside the revolving restaurant, where yellow roses were already hanging on their stems. In the evening, drizzle began to fall again, and these night elves suddenly became lively.. The water curtain began to hit the floor-to-ceiling glass in rounds. Looking at all this, the scene when I really met Sister Di in the nightmare warehouse ten days ago seemed like a world away. In the distance, Bank of America, Macy's Department Store, Lowe's Company, Duke Energy, and the Billy Graham Library are like bright pearls embedded in the vast brocade of the Queen City. But no matter how dazzling they are, they are still not as bright as the woman sitting opposite, Dixie Wendy.

In order to find information about the blue bottle, I have been obsessed with making perfume since I was thirteen years old, just to smell the familiar scent again. I was once ridiculed by Lin Rui for wanting to become a noble. I firmly believe that if this kid could understand the complicated reasons, he would never make such a joke again. Due to the lack of drawings and the loss of memory, there was no trace of me for ten years.

"A few days ago, I called you four times during dinner. I planned to call you then, but you turned off your phone."

Who would have thought that it only took less than a week to get this magical woman in front of me, and it was said that she didn't spend a penny. She was found on Yard Sale by someone. And I chose this moment, the moment when I decided to show off my cards. He gave it to me. At that moment, I could no longer control my inner admiration. I tried my best to swallow my tears, and went to the bathroom and cried loudly for a long time.

Dixie is a celebrity, and many people in this restaurant know her, including some She may even be a colleague. Every move I make will have an impact on her. If I hide my face and cry in public, the headlines tomorrow will be about a well-known news anchor having a date with a mysterious boyfriend at a restaurant, and making a public faux pas due to a failed courtship. Maybe The tide will rise, but I will inevitably attract a group of paparazzi. Later, my identity was exposed, my smuggling was investigated, and I was sent back to Lyon six months later. Everything can be imagined.

On the water platform, I looked at my face from left to right, my eyes under the incandescent lamp. His eyes were red, so he had to put on some thin foundation to cover them up. Then he concentrated, raised the corners of his mouth, and then calmed down and returned to the dining table. He zigzagged his hand into his inner pocket, took out a green leather envelope and handed it to Di. Sister, I said this was given to me by Lao Dai before I came out, and she shouldn’t have to pay all the money for the fight against the ghosts.

Sister Di covered her mouth and snickered like she did in front of a waterfall and mud pool, and put it in the bag nonchalantly. A small amount of money is nothing to her as the God of Wealth. Dixie stirred the citron water with a spoon, raised her eyes and asked:"You want to tell me something?" What is it?"

"It's nothing." I avoided her direct gaze and replied,"Some trivial things, and I have forgotten them."

"Besson, although these days have been difficult, I have lived a fulfilling life. It might not be that easy if someone just relies on connections to send you to Duke University. So I personally think it’s better to start with community college first, and wait until Durham comes back from your busy schedule to decide the time for these things."She told me not to sit there in a daze. The food would be cold if I didn't use the knife. She said,"Promise me that you will go to class well and find back the lost time one by one. The future is still very long, you are so young. , and excellent"

"I have been living a leisurely life all year round. If I really want to go to school with five people and six people at once, I still need an adaptation process."I started to move in embarrassment. Sure enough, the dishes in high-end restaurants are not comparable to the Italian pasta at Rhinoceros Restaurant.

"The most valuable thing about you is that you never ask for anything from others, even if you fight for half your life and fall to the ground covered in blood. When we first met, when you talked about the past, I was actually thinking to myself, this person is really terrible and will never get ahead. After more than ten years, he may make the streets his home and end up living a ridiculous life. For a child from a normal family, his parents plan his life from the moment he is born. This is how the leading figures on TV all came to be. I know you hate the gold-collar class and hate the men and women in formal attire in the office office. You think they are all pretending to live a hypocritical life. How to say, it is true, but it is just a way of life, it is the same rule as detectives and short men, and I am no exception"

"Hehe, I can’t say I fought hard, but I lost half my life. If you had met me four months ago, you would have thought that blood was just a side dish."

"Remember what I said in front of the gas station? I'm really crying in my heart." Sister Di turned sideways, put on a graceful posture, smiled slightly, and said,"I think I'm very glamorous, and many people are surrounding me, right? It seems like that on the surface, but do you know the cruel rules of this industry? I might as well tell you what my future will be like, without being like a bird of prey, it can be completely predicted. The golden life of a female anchor is no more than 45 years old. After reaching this age, she will have several options. One is to step back to the second line to make room for younger up-and-comers; one is to go behind the scenes and work as a program producer; and the other is to Simply leave the industry and do something else. If you are in the mainstream, for example, if you have access to politicians and congressmen, you can also enter politics through them, or simply write a memoir. This is the case for everyone. For me, there are still eight golden years left."

To be honest, if Sister Ruodi doesn't mention it, I can't imagine that the competition in these signature industries is as unpredictable as the dark world.

"Many people like me have been looking for various opportunities for themselves in their daily work. All the exaggerated smiles, the surprised and moved expressions of others, are all public relations. Colleagues, sometimes who expressly disagree with you, will express dissatisfaction in a tactful tone that may even be taken as a compliment if you were present. Is there really no self in this? The adult world is a world of mutual pursuit of gain. If I expose your shortcomings or borrow your strengths, it is all for my own benefit. In the end, it is really boring to use the shackles of marriage to trap people. People gradually become confused and finally find that their true selves have disappeared."

"I actually understand all of this."Looking around, I finally found a person who was smoking, and then I lit it for myself with peace of mind. Talking about profound topics was not enough to settle down. After thinking for a moment, I said:"You are the one who allowed me to find myself again. Dixie. Before I met you, I was always trapped in the contradiction between wanting to forget everything and trying to protect it from being lost. It was not of my own free will to hang out with those monsters, but after that I found fun and realized the precious true love between people. You appeared in front of me like a clear spring, which was unexpected. A stone stirred up thousands of waves, bringing up the almost forgotten sediment. I have a sworn brother in Georgia who is also confused by time and space lines. One second he was flirting with Miliya, and the next second that woman became his mother; he fought with his other stunningly beautiful self, but ended up becoming lovers in another world. All kinds of wonderful things made me feel lonely, jealous, and sad, and made me feel superfluous."

"People are like this, they can't understand anything in the ordinary, and they need the forging of the soul. The friendship forged in the flames of war, or working side by side in hardships, will never be forgotten. How many people are there in the world who have no demands for anything and who care about other people's affairs more than their own wealth and life? 0514 Warehouse is my reincarnation, in which I found the most precious thing, that is you, who also brings the deepest memories to me."

Deep in the heart of each of us, there is a peaceful, quiet, and beautiful corner. No matter who lives there, no matter what kind of chaos and conflict there is, no matter how tearful and heart-wrenching the pain is, in the end We will all find that corner to lick our own wounds.

I was once worried that after leaving the super demon formation, would Dixie respond to the female soldier's venomous words and suddenly change her face and become a stranger to herself? Lin Rui has the capital worth showing off. , I have it now, but is it really what I want? Over time, I realized my own absurdity. In a series of hardships, I gradually gave up my original thoughts and fell deeply in love with her. Yes , the secret pusher is actually me, always trying to find ways to connect myself with her, even though it will only hurt her.

She does not have any of my special aesthetics, or even the opposite. There is no such thing as love at all There is a formula to follow, and it comes all at once, catching you off guard. The other person appears in your mind every day. You look at your phone, waiting, and guess what she is doing. Any word will make you ponder for a long time. The air is filled with the fragrant fragrance of roses.

Love can make people fragile, but it also brings courage. Those between you and Little Cherry are just loneliness and loneliness. As birds of the same fate in the world, we have come together, each of us is not understood for ourselves. It’s nothing more than hugging a group to keep warm. It has no foundation and does notIt is full of cunning meaning and is destined not to last long. A true lover, even if it is just the farewell last night, it has been stored in the lock box of the heart, and is like the sound of distant bagpipes in the memory, which is moving and melancholy.

I will bring her endless disaster, and she also knows this, but is Dixie really as weak as I think?

At Tell Sand Bank, I saw her true other side. Even though she was planted with a snake embryo and blessed with evil magic, the violence was inherent in Dixie. In order to defend her precious things, she shed blood all over her face and fought to a draw with eight men who were far beyond her own strength. This may be the reverse scale that the mysterious wanderer was referring to, which must not be touched.

Soul Scythe raised a good question, why didn't anyone else look for the mastermind behind the scenes, but she was targeted instead? If this person had been lurking somewhere in the Sunset Nightmare, I would be a more suitable target. It's obvious that she was chosen, holds some secrets that we don't know yet, and may be the chosen one.

As early as March 15, 1972, before I was born, I had already formed a bond with her when she was in elementary school. This past event that spans time and space is destined to meet and break out at a certain point and day twenty-six years later. This is fate. I can't wave goodbye to this relationship easily by getting drunk or going out to relax. Since it's so hard to make a choice, I just let it go.

"You told me that you had escaped from correctional camps and detention centers many times in the past, and that you even stabbed someone in the stomach without hesitation at the station. I was shocked when I heard that. In previous interviews, I also met some guys who had tragic childhood experiences. Most of them only became more assholes after they were released from prison, but there are also a small number of people who changed their minds and reintegrated into society, and finally became famous and started a family. There are also many. I can't imagine that if I were you, I might not be able to sustain that kind of life even for just one week. It was in that distorted environment that you strengthened your heart, and the righteousness it brought you has become the rule of life, which cannot be tarnished or changed. Dixie pointed to herself guiltily and said,"You have helped me get rid of my timidity. Whenever I am alone or sit quietly on the porch drinking coffee, I will naturally think of you.""

"Do you want to hear my true thoughts too?"Seeing messages from Fan Pang asking where he was, I simply turned off my phone and sighed:"Let's put it this way, I have met many men and women who are much older than me. They all like to rely on their elders and disdain any suggestions. After a quick glance, Miliya even told me with a smile: Young people are meant to be ignored and are consumables that can be sacrificed at any time. I just want to ask for some respect, is that too much? Therefore, at that time, you smiled like flowers and every soft reply made me hate you extremely. I don’t need cheap pretending to care. Rather than that, it would be better for you to spray spit on my face, which would make me feel more happy."

"What then?"She told me not to be so excited, blinking her beautiful eyes, half-smiling but not smiling.

"Then? In the struggle for survival, you will obeyIf you follow along, you will also refer to my opinions and find out various flaws. I can even make various jokes with you, and you will not be angry even if I make bad remarks. This anti-social and anti-physical phenomenon completely overturned my inherent thinking. In the end, the flying bird of prey that breaks into the sun is not saving you, but is redeemed by you. That's about it."

A solitary raven soared quietly outside the window. Suddenly it spread its wings and scurried forward. It flew past the tall buildings and flew deep into the rain curtain. At the end of the horizon, many ravens jumped up, all of them. Became the twilight afterglow in the night scene

"Am I really that ferocious in front of the Tiepo altar? So, in this fight, between you and me, who wins?"

"Obviously, you win."

I didn't go back to West City, but went to Pineville with her. After the intense exercise, she fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the water waves of the outdoor swimming pool reflected on the ceiling, I felt both excited and tired. I couldn't help but take out my cigarette and planned to I walked alone to the backyard and sat on a wicker chair. In the past, Lin Rui and I especially loved walking in the dark in the middle of the night. The surroundings were deserted, with the occasional hare popping up on the roadside, the sporadic barking of dogs in the distance, and the nearby windows. The murmurs coming from inside make us feel like the protagonists of the night. At that time, we will climb high, stand on the top of the building, and then point to the scenery under our feet and say this is my city and my people. The hour hand of the watch points to midnight It's three o'clock. At this moment, I don't have to worry about meeting her neighbors, so I can relax.

When I opened the door, I couldn't help rubbing my eyes. Where is this? How could there be a big mountain near an independent house? Soon I I realized that this was a dream, and I was lying on a soft bed, sleeping soundly, but my consciousness was wandering, because in reality I couldn't see the weird sky and the changing shape of the aurora.

It was also a midnight after the rain, and the air was extremely clear. The grass is fresh and exudes a refreshing fragrance. If you wait until the sun rises in the east, it will be a clear and cloudless sunny day. There are insects all around, and when the footsteps of the explorer move lightly, they slowly become quiet again. At the same time, the bushes Then a group of luminous feather butterflies arose, flapping their wings rapidly and scurrying forward blindly. Under the thin light, there sat a woman who looked similar to before.

"Leanne Foster?"I walked towards her hesitantly. I couldn't believe my eyes. When I stood behind this person, I finally confirmed that this was the AC with whom I fought bloody battles on Wulongya Island. Yes, even if it happened, The color is different, but I remember this pitiful back. Now that Leeann appears here, I will no longer be myself, but become Madeleine.

I don't know what she, who has died long ago, plans to tell me. People are very strange. As long as they wear old-fashioned suits, they automatically become the epitome of that era. I lit the cigarette in my hand, sat down silently next to her, looked at my leather shoes, and said nothing.

Li En was holding a drink in her arms. Vase, staring alone at the darkness under the hill with a long sigh, seeing an extra person appearing for no reason, I instinctively moved to the side. Although I was not looking at her, various expressions on this woman's face passed through my peripheral vision. She revealed The contradiction between disgust and longing is just as complicated as I once described it. He wants me to get up and leave, but he also longs for me to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. What is going on?

I suddenly can’t remember what will happen next. But it’s certain Yes, this scene in front of me is very familiar. This is the first acquaintance between Madeleine and her.

"Give me a drink too."Looking at my hand, an extra paper cup appeared for no reason. I took the wine bottle she handed me and poured it for myself.

"You are also from the club. I have seen you. You like to sit alone in the corner and read the newspaper during dinner, but you don't eat much."

"Yes, we have met, what are you sentimental about? Drinking alone will only make the pain more painful. It would be much better to speak out, or stand in front of the cliff and vent loudly to the bottom of the mountain. This is what I did when I was troubled in the past."As the red wine entered my stomach, my tongue became more flexible. When I opened my mouth, I used my father's usual tone, which was both curious and calm.
