Just like outside, the corridor was pitch dark with no light at all. .biquge If ordinary people come in, they will basically not see anything.

For Leo, the current darkness certainly cannot affect his vision. He can see the environment in the building in detail, maintaining a high degree of consistency with the entire community.

The walls that were painted an unknown number of years ago are full of stains. The white plaster has fallen off in large swaths, and the remaining areas that are still intact are covered with traces of graffiti and sewage.

There is a very ordinary lime floor under the feet. Long-term walking has made the entire ground look extremely smooth, except for the cracks that have appeared over time.

There are all kinds of debris piled up on the side of the wall and in the corner of the stairs. I don’t know which house they belong to. If you are not familiar with the situation of this building, you will rashly put them there. If you break in at night, you will most likely be thrown into the face by someone serious.

The whole building seemed quiet, without a sound. Leo did not deliberately control his movements and walked upstairs. Even the sound of gentle footsteps was very clear in this environment.

Although the entire building looks very old and full of debris, surprisingly the environment in the building is relatively clean, with no dust or unpleasant smell, but it does seem a bit out of place with the overall environment.

As soon as Leo walked up to the second floor, he seemed to have unlocked another world. A sound suddenly sounded from this world, which made the lifeless environment seem alive, although the sound did not sound so beautiful.

This kind of sound makes people feel uncomfortable. It's not like a place with a lot of people. It's like a market where the noise is annoying. If you distinguish carefully, even ordinary people can clearly tell that the source of this sound is only two people, one male and one female.

But the noise made by these two people was really loud. Even if there were only two people, they had the momentum of a thousand troops. The man was roaring angrily, while the woman was crying at the top of her lungs.

It sounds like just an ordinary couple quarreling, but the voices of these two people contain a violence that makes people unable to help but feel angry. Coupled with the sound of broken things mixed in from time to time, it is even more heart-wrenching. Depressed.

This doesn't sound like a normal couple quarreling at all. A normal couple quarreling, even if it's a disagreement, is basically out of love and respect for each other, and now the quarrel coming from upstairs is even more intense. It was as if he was venting his anger and resentment towards the other party.

Leo couldn't help but frown. This situation should be regarded as one of the few hateful scenes for him.

If you really count, he really can't be considered a superhero in the traditional sense, because in his past life and this life, he has been a complete and absolute familyist.

He will never become an absolute anti-socialist or super villain like the Joker in DC. When facing danger and those in need of protection, he will stand up and sometimes even forget his own safety.

But he is still different from real superheroes like Captain America and Iron Man. They are both protecting the world and fighting evil, but Captain America and Iron Man are completely motivated by public motives. They simply fight for the world they live in and protect the light behind the darkness.

In the process, they may be like Iron Man and accidentally poke holes in one trap after another, but in the final analysis, their original purpose is to protect the world, whether it is the establishment of the Avengers or the recent Ultron crisis .

Leo was doing the same thing as them, but with a completely different purpose. The reason why he, like the Avengers, protects the world and fights against all possible crises and dangers is simply because the friends and family he values ​​​​are all living on this earth.

If I have to explain it, it is a very simple multiple-choice question. In a crisis, if your family and another ordinary person are in danger at the same time, you may only have enough time to save one of them, but ordinary people are there. In front of you, your family is far away, and even if you try to save them, you may not be able to save them.

If this choice were placed on Captain America or Iron Man, they would analyze various factors immediately and make the most correct choice.

Leo doesn't. When he encounters this kind of choice, he will never consider other factors. For Leo, there is always only one option in this set of multiple-choice questions, and that is his family and friends. No matter what kind of situation arises, no matter what factors are involved, when his family and friends are threatened, giving priority to rescuing his relatives and friends is the choice that Leo will never change.

Regarding this, Leo feels that he is very similar to the superhero in the Avengers, that is Clint Hawkeye.

This one of the few superheroes who fights as an ordinary person is often active on the front line of the battle, and often plays a key role. Even among the powerful Avengers, he is invincible. A missing member.

But like Leo, he doesn't have such a noble reason to fight. The most precious things in his eyes are his comrades and family. For his friends and family, he dares to fight against all strong men. You can also give up everything you have for your friends and family.

In the eyes of ordinary superheroes, such a thing can only be regarded as a trivial matter at best. Even if domestic violence may occur, they will usually hand it over to the police to deal with it.

But if something like this happened to Hawkeye or Leo, it would not be that simple. Leo suppressed his discomfort and continued walking upstairs.

As I said before, these buildings are not too high, only three floors, and the height of each floor is shorter than now. Leo walked upstairs in a few steps, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.

This is not a scene, something has changed, and there are still no lights in the corridor. It was just one of the residents on the third floor of the building. The door was not closed tightly. The loud and loud noise came from this resident.

The door is not the most commonly used security door nowadays, it is just a simple wooden door. Judging from the thickness of this wooden door, I am afraid that the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

The wooden door opened outwards, but for some reason it was only half closed, leaving a gap of several dozen centimeters. You should gently walk to the door and look inside along the gap left.

The layout inside the door is also very consistent with the entire community. It is far less complicated than modern houses. Standing at the door, you can basically see the general layout inside at a glance.

From the outside, the size of the house is far smaller than what it looks like when standing outside the building. Judging from what Leo saw, it probably looks like two bedrooms and one living room. The kitchen is connected to the living room outside. At best, That is about eighty square meters.

Of course, Leo also found the culprit of this irritating sound. A man and a woman were arguing fiercely in the living room.

The man was standing in the middle of the living room, wearing a dirty blue maintenance suit. He looked to be in his thirties, but it seemed that the pressure of life had caused him to lose one precious thing early on - his hair.

The hairline has begun to recede rapidly on his forehead. Judging from the current situation, it may not be long before it turns into a real Mediterranean. Perhaps in order to cover this flaw, this man grew his hair Very short reasoning.

Judging from the smell of alcohol constantly wafting out of the room and the blush on his face, this guy was completely drunk. He didn't know what it was, but it mixed with alcohol and stimulated his nerves, making him open his eyes. With a pair of blood-red eyes roaring angrily.

And a lady in home clothes was sitting at the dining table nearby, covering her face and crying. Although she couldn't see her face, you could still clearly see that his hands covering his face were covered with blood stains. and bruises.

Between the two of them is a passage leading to the back room. At the end of the passage is a hallway with art paintings hanging on it. The door next to the hallway should lead to the bedroom.

But these are not the point. Leo can see a little boy about seven or eight years old hiding in the darkness in the entrance hall. He squatted there quietly, curling up into a ball with his arms and legs, his body trembling slightly.

Domestic violence? A cold feeling gradually spread in Leo's chest and abdomen, and he glanced gently at the man in the living room. When his eyes glanced over, he saw broken glass scattered everywhere on the ground, as well as some miscellaneous things. They should have been beaten by two people during an argument.

Although Leo hated the scene in front of him, he still did not choose to take action and continued to stand outside the door to watch what happened next. Because he knows that although the current scene is what really happened, you don't know how many years have passed.

The man continued to roar for a while, probably because he felt that the woman no longer refuted and resisted. He felt that he had broken his body. He raised the bottle of wine in his hand with satisfaction and took a sip, then turned and staggered towards the bedroom.

When he reached the bedroom door, he was about to push the door open when he caught a glimpse of his son, the little boy hiding in the corner. He couldn't help but snorted angrily, and kicked the boy in the air: "Trash, useless." thing."

His skilled movements and demeanor were like meeting a dirty stray dog ​​outside.

Maybe the boy didn't matter to him at all. After doing this, the man didn't even look at the boy. He pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, closing the door heavily with his backhand.

From the moment the man saw the boy, he seemed to freeze up and remained motionless until the man kicked him.

It can be seen that the man's kick just now did not mean any mercy or restraint at all. Even though the boy's thin body curled up into a ball, it was tilted violently by the kick and hit the wall nearby. superior.

A look of pain suddenly appeared on the boy's face, but even so, he made no sound like a mute.

Seeing this, Leo's face couldn't help but twitch, and a deep chill began to fill his body. After the man returned to the house, the room became quiet, and only the woman's sad voice, which she tried hard to suppress, could be heard.

The boy hid in the corner and shivered for a while, listening to the sounds in the bedroom. After making sure that it was completely quiet, he carefully stood up holding the wall.

Maybe it was because he had been squatting there for too long, or maybe because the kick he had just received was still a little painful, but the boy's thin body swayed slightly even when he stood up while holding on to the wall.

He hesitated, walked out of the dark corner where he had been, and walked towards the crying woman. He stayed in the corner for too long, and he couldn't help but put his hand in front of his eyes because he couldn't adapt to the light.

He walked up to the woman, who was still immersed in her own pain and crying softly, unaware that the boy had already arrived in front of her. He just stood there quietly, with only deep numbness and confusion on his young face.

The woman cried softly for a while, and finally found her son standing in front of her. She put down the hand that had been covering her face. Judging from the woman's figure and the boy's age, Leo guessed that the woman was in her early thirties.

But how can you tell from this face? Leo could barely tell from the woman's eyebrows that she looked beautiful before, but the deep wrinkles on her face seemed to tell the burden of life on her, and the bruises on the corners of her eyes and mouth were even more unusual. ferocious.

She looked at her son and moved the corner of her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to give him a smile. Maybe it was because the movement was too large and the wound was pulled. Her smile was stopped by the pain before it had time to emerge. Couldn't help but snort.

"Turn off the lights quickly! They are a bunch of useless snacks and lose money!" At this moment, an angry shout came from the house. The two people were frightened to the point of shaking at the same time. The boy was even more frightened. He glanced in the direction of the sound.

The woman no longer cared about crying, stood up hurriedly, walked to the wall and stretched out her hand, turned off the light in the living room, and suddenly the whole room fell into darkness.

Taking advantage of this moment, Leo gently opened the door outside and walked in quietly.

Leo's range of movements was extremely well controlled, and no sound was made at all. The two people in the room basically focused all their energy on listening to the sounds in the back room, and did not realize that there was an outsider in their home.
