Wedge Chapter: "Awakening on the verge of a red night"(1/3)
Chapter 1 (Part 1)
========『Rolling』
Tick tick tick —
Drops of water dripped from the ceiling of the abandoned building, making a rustling sound.
The boy was covered in scars and sat on the ground without any anger. He leaned against a wall in the abandoned building and covered his stomach uncomfortable. The blood could not stop flowing out, soaking the boy's clothes.
"Is it painful? Dongfang Zhige!" The girl was holding a dark sword and approaching step by step.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The boy named Dongfang Zhige gasped heavily while leaning his head weakly against the wall behind him. Using the wall as a support point, he adjusted his vision and looked at the girl's eyes.
Looking at Dongfang Zhige in front of her, the girl couldn't help but remember the scene when her best friend was killed by him. The resentment in her heart suddenly surged into her heart. She held the Taidao in her hand tightly, and tears were shaking in the corners of her eyes.
Finally, the girl couldn't help but feel resentment and roared at the boy out of control: "Dongfang Zhige, don't you love Ruoxi very much? Why... why did you kill her? Just because she became a monster, do you have to kill her? What about the vows between you? Do you love Ruoxi like this? Answer me!!Dongfang Zhige!"
The girl's complex emotions were mixed with reluctance to let go of Ruoxi, hatred for Dongfang Zhige, and complaints and annoyance for her incompetence.
In an instant, the girl no longer suppressed her emotions. The emotions that had been suppressed for so many years suddenly gushed out. Her words, word by word, were like sharp and hard-bladed swords, slashing the softest part of Dongfang Zhige's heart.
Dongfang Zhige was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe. His eyes widened, trembled for a few seconds, and tried his best to control his emotions. Then he returned to his original lifeless appearance. He could not forgive himself, nor could he escape from despair. He clearly had thousands of words in his heart, but in the end he said it, it only turned into three simple words: "Kill me!"
The girl was suddenly disappointed. She originally wanted to hear Dongfang Zhige's explanation, but unfortunately he was unwilling to explain at all. Why is such a cowardly person Ruoxi loved the most? Why did he kill Ruoxi?
With one question after another, she held the extremely black sword in her hand tightly, and tears flowed down her face.
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous! I shouldn't have asked you this question!" She said: "Since you want to die so much, then I'll give you my help!"
The girl fell down with a knife, and her head fell down in response to the sound, and blood sprayed out like a fountain.

shock!!
In a rental apartment of only 35 square meters, a young man who was sleeping suddenly woke up. He held the quilt tightly with his hands. He looked at the TV that had not turned off that night and had been playing the news. He looked around and found nothing unusual, but cold sweats continued to vent his back. The young man was still in shock, gasping for breath, and reached out to touch his cold neck.
Woo---------
Still here!!!
Due to a nightmare, he was still in shock and pressed his hands weakly on the mattress behind him. Feeling that he had been soaked in sweat, he turned around and looked, then got out of the bed, walked to the toilet, and turned the switch of the faucet to the maximum. The cold water kept slapped the boy's cheek, but he still couldn't calm down.
He buried his entire head directly and washed it up cold water until his mood calmed down a little, which was a few minutes later.
He held his wet hair and looked at the somewhat ridiculous self in the mirror, drop after drop of water dripping from his hair. He inhale and exhale, and then patted his cheeks hard so that he could wake up under the stimulation of pain.
The boy shook the water from his hair wildly, picked up the towel next to the washbasin, wiped it casually for a few times, then hung the towel around his neck, and slowly walked back to the bedroom.
??
My name is Tiger. I should have grown up in a healthy and happy environment. However, because of the big explosion after a car accident, my parents and sister were buried in the sea of fire, so I became a veritable orphan.
At that time, I was only about eight years old. Because I was not able to be independent, I was arranged to be at home one by one. However, no relative was willing to accept me, and eventually I was sent to an orphanage. It was not until I became an adult that I left the orphanage, found a job, rented a studio apartment, and simply lived in this seemingly peaceful but actually noisy and uneasy city.
My monthly salary just can pay for my food, clothing, living, rent, water and electricity alone. The landlord here is a very kind old lady. When I just came here and was not familiar with the environment, if it weren't for this old lady, I might not have been able to survive the most difficult three months at the beginning. She would send some food from time to time and tell me some interesting experiences that happened when she was young. We often talk and laugh and talk about everything.
The old lady is like my family, even more close to my grandmother. No matter what she thinks, in short, to me, she is my only relative in the world.
I just want to live a stable life like this, day after day, except for going to and from get off work, I will eat, clean, chat with the old lady, and drink tea.
But from the fifth month of my work, nightmares eroded every night I followed. At night, I would have nightmares, dreaming of a girl holding a very black knife, chopping down a boy's neck with one knife, dripping blood.
Every time I sleep, I will have the same dream, as if I am in the scene. Although I don’t know what they are saying or what is happening, I always feel that this scene seems familiar, as if this young man is me, and the girl is the one who killed herself with her own hands.
So, every time I wake up from a nightmare, I feel like I am dead, and every time I feel frightened and uneasy because of this strong feeling, and then subconsciously touch the head still standing on my neck. Day after day, the fear in my heart is imprinted like this.
This feeling was very painful, but I didn't tell the old lady that I was afraid that she would worry when she knew it, so I had to choose to go to the doctor alone and prescribe the medicine, but it still had no effect and ended up accepting my fate.
In this way, the nightmare has been haunted me for a year. If the goddess's singing gave me the strength to live and the old lady's company gave me the warmth of my family, maybe I would have collapsed because of this nightmare.
Tiger muttered in his heart, muttering to himself for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he shook his head, sighed, and looked at the TV that had been broadcasting the news all night.
"Interstellar headlines reported to you: At around 2:00 p.m. yesterday, a large number of unknown organisms appeared near Cheng'an District 3. This group of unknown organisms were called "disaster monsters" by the government's special disaster treatment department. The monsters suddenly invaded and destroyed everywhere. No one of the people they touched could escape the fate of turning into charcoal ash. Here, the special disaster treatment department sent a large number of professionals to defeat the unknown organisms at full speed. The relevant victim areas were blocked and they could not resume traffic in a few days. Before that, please take a detour. This is yesterday's broadcast. Thank you for watching. Next, let's talk about the next broadcast, about..."
Tigler picked up the remote control on the desktop and turned off the TV.
He stood up, walked to the desk at the bedside, pulled open the curtains that blocked the sun, and a warm and somewhat dazzling light shone in.
Tiger held the desk with one hand, jumped up, sat on it, looked at the invisible Cheng'an District 3 in the distance and became stunned, and muttered in his heart.
"My parents and sister both died in car accidents and explosions. It seemed like an ordinary collision between vehicles. In fact, the driver was in order to avoid unknown organisms that suddenly appeared on the road and destroyed everywhere, which led to the tragedy."
"To survive and not to die, rush on the spot!!"
Everyone present stepped on the accelerator and accelerated their way, wanting to escape quickly.
But so many vehicles accelerated at the same time, of course, would lead to congestion. There is no doubt that collisions, oil leakage, and explosions were all expected. The power of the big explosion that year was so powerful that it blew up all the expressway to pieces. All the people driving on the Cheng'an Expressway died on the spot, and no one escaped, so the expressway was forced to stop operating.
And I only learned these truths through interstellar headlines!
Therefore, I particularly hate these unknown organisms. If it weren't for their sudden attack on Cheng'an Expressway, the drivers wouldn't have accelerated their progress because of fear, and there wouldn't have been a continuous explosion, and my family wouldn't have been involved in this incident and died on the spot.
But so what? I want to avenge my parents, but I can’t do anything. I can only watch them make waves day after day and endanger the world, and at the same time, I can only pray that I can spend my life safely and not be attacked by these unknown organisms.
Yes, that’s right! Even if I want to do it, what can I do? What can I do within my ability is to live safely! I just want to live!!!
Tiger looked out the window blankly, and the ringtone of his cell phone suddenly rang, and he hooked his soul, who was sitting by the window, in a daze.
He picked up the phone that was placed aside and looked at it casually, then he remembered that today was the day when the goddess came to the "Lotus Blossom" in the central area of Cheng'an to hold a concert.
Tiger scratched his hair, which was still wet, jumped off the desk, and said excitedly: "Forget it, forget it, what can I do if I want more? It is more important to go to the goddess' concert."
He stretched out, yawned a long time, and said a lot to himself, then began to wash up and go out.
Destination: Cheng'anhuan City Center----"Lotus Blossom"
??
Tigler came to the place where "Lotus Huahua" bought and received the glow sticks. After receiving two glow sticks engraved with the goddess's name, he hurried to the concert site.
The concert scene was beautifully arranged, like a huge lotus blooming, it was simply a fairyland on earth. The stage crosses lined up in the middle, and behind us was a huge fluorescent screen for live broadcast!
The sky is as clear as the sky, and the bright sunlight shines into the venue, dazzling.
The shining lights, the bulging balloons... At the moment of entering the venue, people were attracted by this spectacular scene, as if they were injected with chicken blood, and their mood was surging, and they felt full of passion.
After a long time, the scene was already crowded with people, and all 100,000 viewers were present.
The lotus slowly closed until the light could not be seen. The goddess finally came out and held the microphone and said loudly: "Rise up the glow stick in your hands and use this light to illuminate the whole audience!"
Everyone broke the glow sticks, waved and shouted, and the light instantly illuminated the entire concert scene.
Colorful sparks spewed around the stage where the crosses lined up, and the screen behind him suddenly lit up, full of goddess figures!
The audience cheered and shouted the goddess' name: "Tianyu Chuge..."
The goddess was watching the crowd and her spirit was flying. "Then... let the entire venue continue to burn!"
Tianyu Chuge threw the cloak on his body to a high altitude, picked up the microphone, and looked at the audience. The beautiful gauze skirt emitted dazzling light in the darkness, attracting attention, and the golden earrings in her ears also swayed with her movements.
She held her left hand high and the music started!
"Like a phoenix, be reborn in Nirvana!!!"
Tianyu Chu Song sang loudly, and the passionate singing was like the broken jade in Kunshan, the lotus sobbing and dew, and like the clear spring flowing water. The wind chime sounded and suddenly came into the audience's ears.
Everyone shook the glow stick in their hands, and the audience was boiling again.
At this time, on the roof of "Lotus Huapan", a black and purple aperture suddenly appeared, and the girl holding the extremely black and white sword walked out of the aperture. She lifted the extremely black and white sword in her hand and waved a black and purple crescent-shaped sword energy towards the roof of "Lotus Huapan" that was stepping under her feet.
The sword energy quickly broke through the roof and shot directly into the stage. Tianyu Chuge hurriedly avoided.
A big hole was broken on the roof, and light shot into the hole, and the audience began to be in chaos.
The girl holding a very black sword jumped down and stood in the middle of the stage. She looked at the audience, and there were two black and purple crystals of the same size in her fingers. She threw them to the stage and the crystals shattered directly.
At the broken point, a black and purple pattern shone brightly, and monsters leaped out of the pattern and appeared in front of these 100,000 viewers.
"Run! It's a monster!!"
"ah……"
The whole audience was in chaos and people rushed out toward the exit like a tide.
But the monsters did not attack, but stood there, motionless.
"Who are you and what purpose are you?" Tianyu Chu Ge asked.
"War or not?" The girl raised the extremely black sword in her hand and pointed it at Tianyu Chuge with a stern look.
"Tsk, as the guardian of the country, how could I retreat because of this?" Tian Yu Chuge pulled off the red pendant hanging around his neck and sang a chant.
"Like a phoenix, be reborn in Nirvana!"
A red energy ball wrapped around Tianyu Chuge, and the flames gushed from under the energy ball. In an instant, the entire energy ball was filled with flames and shattered in response to the sound.
A red sword cut off the gushing pillar of fire. Tianyu Chu Ge pointed the sword at the girl and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
?
The girl didn't say a word, holding the Taidao in her hand and rushed forward. She waved the Taidao a few times, but the sword energy was blocked by the red sword. She pushed hard, took a few steps back, then jumped to the sky, lifted the extremely black Taidao in her hand, and waved it four or five black and purple crescent-shaped sword energy flying straight towards Tianyu Chuge.
Tian Yu took a step back first, avoided the first crescent sword energy, and then sideways away from the second sword energy. However, the remaining two sword energy suddenly merged together and turned into a huge black and purple crescent sword energy, rushing towards him quickly.
Knowing that there was no time to avoid it, Tian Yu held the sword in his hand tightly, and flames surged out from the hilt of the sword and wrapped around the sword body.
Tianyu Chuge gathered the flames and then quickly slashed out a sword energy. The sword energy flew out horizontally, colliding with the black and purple sword energy, instantly aroused a powerful airflow and rolled up waves of dust. Taking advantage of the dust rising, blurring the girl's vision, Tianyu Chuge passed behind her, preparing to clean up the unknown organisms behind the girl at full speed.
