Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

The first winter snow had not stopped for three days, and on the third day, even a city like Yesa City, which had been lifeless for many years, began to have a little life.

Because today is New Yuan Day, the day when the new era was born. At the end of the last era, the demons ravaged the mainland. Xia Zuo, the number one warrior in the mainland, Yulia and his wife Princess Asir joined hands to resist. Although the last era was still destroyed by force majeure But it also ushered in a new era of relative peace and stability.

Since then, the third day after the first winter snow every year has become Xinyuan Day. This day is as important to the people of the Red Moon Continent as the New Year of the Celestial Dynasty.

This year is no exception. The boats on the criss-crossing waterways are becoming more and more dense. The business of these special boats is better than before. The mood of the whole year is released on this day.

Faintly, there is a hint of madness and decadence in the festive atmosphere.

In fact, Kino is quite afraid of this feeling. Whether it is public or private, he is not willing to stay in this city, because this is a decayed and sick city, like a dangerous building without a foundation, which may collapse at any time. The people here seem to understand this truth, all the ugliness are exaggerated and magnified, they are free and unrestrained.

But Kino didn't dare to act rashly. Sometimes, opening the God's perspective may not be a good thing, because he deeply understands that Xi Wei will leave here in three years and start his legendary thrilling journey. A life of tormented adventure.

Leaving is just a matter of time.

Pure white crystal snowflakes were falling. This snowfall was heavier than in previous years. On New Year's Day, the thickness of the snow even piled up to Xi Wei's calf. They were lucky because they had a simple but The shelter would not be buried by the heavy snow. Every day Xi Wei went to and from the mercenary union, he could see new faces falling down in the snow and never being able to stand up again.

But he doesn't have the extra ability and compassion to give to others. Everyone in this world is responsible for their own life, and it is sad rather than unfortunate not to be able to live.

Their situation is not optimistic either. With the heavy snow in the past few days, the mercenary union can provide Xi Wei with even fewer tasks, so they can go back early every day and go to bed hungry.

Xi Wei hugged Chino as he habitually lowered his head and walked hurriedly on the street. When he turned a corner, something grabbed his ankle. Xi Wei glanced at the ankle, a dry and emaciated The hand tightly wrapped around Xi Wei. The owner of the hand seemed to have only one breath left. He begged Xi Wei weakly, "Give me something to eat, please give me something to eat."

Xi Wei remained expressionless.

He pulled his own foot, but he didn't pull it out. Xi Wei's current physical fitness, even him, couldn't pull it out. It shows how strong this person is, and he doesn't look like a person who is dying of hunger.

Seeing the face of the protagonist turned cold, Kino knew that he was upset. This person was real, he pretended not to look like a little bit, and it was fine if he was lying on the snow, but he was still lying on the top. The snowflakes on his body had obviously just fallen , It didn't look like he was starving to death after walking for a long time, and he didn't spend more than 5 minutes outside. Even Xi Wei and Kino had more snowfall than him.

Seeing Xi Wei's indifferent face, the man didn't know that he had been exposed, so he still begged, "Give me something to eat."

Xi Wei kicked his feet out even harder, but he was still holding one in his arms, so he couldn't make too much movement, so he couldn't do anything about this person for a while.

The man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he jumped up with lightning speed, and a sharp object pressed against Xi Wei's waist, "Boy, hand over your money and food quickly, or you and this kid The guy's life will be explained here."

There was a cold light in Xi Wei's eyes, unmoved.

Kino was taken aback by his sudden outburst. He thought he was just pretending to be pitiful and deceitful, but it turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing!The fallen man stood up, and Kino saw his appearance clearly. It turned out to be Old George.

When the drunk Bob kidnapped Kino, this incident was really impressive. Later, Kino passed out and was safe when he woke up, so he left the two kidnappers behind, maybe it was unintentional, maybe he just wanted to forget That bloody scene where Bob himself hits the wall.

Unexpectedly, old George didn't chase Bob all the way, and escaped by mistake.

Although old George couldn't beat Bob, he felt that he was more than enough to deal with two undersized children. He had been observing Xi Wei for several days. It should be a lot of money to do odd jobs in the mercenary union. You know, you can join the mercenary All members of the union have to pay a gold coin commission first, which is an astronomical figure for homeless people like them!

Thinking of this, the fierce light in Old George's eyes became even more fierce, and the tip of the knife moved forward a few more points. Xi Wei took a breath and retracted his stomach. But it was calm, as if it wasn't him who was poked, and the hands holding Kino were also calm and strong.

Old George's eyelids twitched, and his eyes met Xi Wei's for a while, and he felt a chill in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have underestimated this seemingly useless little beggar.

The mercenary guilds are all rude guys, and they are always shouting and shouting when assigning tasks. Xi Wei has never resisted, and has been completing his tasks silently. No matter how others oppress him, he has no complaints or dissatisfaction.

Because they didn't know that for the little beggar, this was already the best life he could live, and Xi Wei cherished it very much.

Confrontation is a psychological warfare. In fact, not only the person being robbed is nervous during a robbery, but also the robber is equally nervous. If the person being robbed doesn't even have the slightest panic, then the robber will be extremely nervous.

This was the case with old George. Seeing Xi Wei's indifferent stare, he was a little suspicious of whether he had accidentally poked in a little bit just now, or was it just a hallucination that appeared under tension?

Kino didn't dare to move at all. If it wasn't for him, it would be a matter of minutes for the protagonist to knock down Old George. With multiple people in his arms, he would be greatly restricted.

Xi Wei closed his eyes and looked away from Old George, "The money and food are not with me."

Old George, who no longer looked at Xi Wei, was relieved, and urged again, "Take me there quickly."

Xi Wei nodded, without saying a word, he was held hostage by Old George and walked towards the boat.

Old George pressed the point of the knife against Xi Wei's waist without relaxing, while looking around. There were not many people in the snowy weather, and no one noticed their anomaly. However, in this extremely indifferent city, even if someone If you see it, you will pretend not to see it.

Who would care about the life and death of the two little beggars.

Seeing that the small broken boat was getting closer and closer, Kino also began to worry. How could they have any money or food? Someone who saves money?

Old George may have been fascinated by the legend of mercenaries and the commission of a gold coin, but he didn't have any doubts.

Seeing that he was getting closer to the river, Old George showed a cruel and satisfied smile. The river has always been a good place to kill people and abandon corpses.

Finally, when they reached the arch bridge on the top of the ship, Xi Wei stopped in his tracks.

Old George threatened, "Boy, your lives are in my hands, don't play any tricks!"

Xi Wei shook his shoulders lightly, his voice trembling, "Things are hanging under the bridge deck."

Old George glanced at the little beggar who finally had a normal "fear" expression, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. Of course, he would not go get it by himself, so he said, "You, give me the child in your hand, and then go down and get the things up .”

Xi Wei didn't seem to have any objection, he put Kino down by the collar under old George's vigilant eyes, there were few pedestrians on the bridge and the snow was so thick that it barely reached Kino's knees.

Kino had a serious expression on his face, and when Old George reached out to grab his arm, he suddenly called out, "Old George."

When a person is doing something bad with a high level of mental tension, and is called out by someone he should not know, he will be in a daze for a short time. Of course, the same is true for Old George who has not yet cultivated to the level of boldness.

With just this brief daze, Xi Wei, who had no burden in his hand, raised his foot, and kicked old George's sharp knife away with a non-standard but firm forward kick.

Old George was kicked to the ground by the unimaginable force, clutching his arms and moaning.

Xi Wei no longer pretended to be afraid and trembling, he walked towards Old George silently, the young man's not-so-large body cast a shadow over Old George's head.

The falling snowflakes and the knife raised in the young man's hand were frozen in Old George's fearful eyes.

Xi Wei's eyes were indifferent. It's not like he never did murder. The client who strangled his mother to death on the bed died at the hands of Xi Wei. Since he was eight years old, his hands were already stained with blood.

When he is unable to resist, Xi Wei will choose to bear it silently, but if the opportunity to prevent future troubles is in front of him, he will never hesitate.

Kino ran two steps in the snow, but the snow was too thick, so he fell directly, rubbing the snow on his face, and he shivered from the coldness.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xi Wei holding a knife in his hand and stabbing the blood vessels in Old George's neck without hesitation. In a short while, Old George, who was full of crimes, would disappear forever in this world.

Kino's mind went blank. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Reason told him that Xi Wei was right. Unless they left this city forever, letting old George go would be tantamount to returning home. .

Robbery and vendetta are the normal state of Ye Sacheng, no one will care about it at all, it is your luck to survive, and no one can blame anyone if you die.

Kino forced himself to keep his eyes open to see that Xi Wei will always be Xi Wei, his favorite protagonist. He likes not only the gentleness under Xi Wei's cold face, but also Xi Wei's coldness and strength.

The blizzard became more violent, and Xi Wei's hand fell steadily without hesitation, but a snow ball hit his wrist, deflecting the tip of the knife by a few points.

The knife pierced Old George's chest, but the wound was not fatal.

Old George let out a miserable howl, but the blood that flowed out quickly condensed under the extremely low temperature, and it didn't look so terrible.

Xi Wei took two steps back and looked around vigilantly, "Who?"

"On the rare New Year's Day, it's not good to see blood. Isn't it a pity to start the new year with a life on your back?"

As the sound sounded, a young man with short sleeves and long trousers slowly approached from the other end of the bridge. He wore so little, but his expression on his face was relaxed and comfortable. His feet seemed to be stepping on the snow. But no footprints were left.

Xi Wei felt the fear from the bottom of his heart, which was different from the fear he had pretended in front of Old George. He couldn't help but tremble when facing this young man.

Xi Wei took a few steps back involuntarily.

Kino didn't care about patting the snow on his body, he stumbled and ran to Xi Wei's side, hugged his leg, and conveyed his support with his tiny strength.

Old George saw the stranger, although he didn't know why he wanted to stop him, but after finally saving his life, he clutched his injured chest, got up and ran.

Xi Wei wanted to chase after him, but found that he couldn't move at all, and could only watch old George run away.

The young man put his hands in his trouser pockets leisurely. He seemed to be moving slowly, but he arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

As he approached, he saw the faces of the two children clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, "You are not related by blood, yet you look so similar."
