[Zhongyingmei] I don't want to save you today

Although there are a few related issues that need to be recorded, the general impression I hope to convey is that at the most vigorous moment of life, a side door suddenly opened with a bang, and a rush of time rushes in with a swift and violent rush. The gust of wind drowns out the cries of the lonely imminent catastrophe.

-"Lolita"

*****************************************************

Iris had a long dream.

It was like being pulled into the depths of memory by a pair of irresistible hands from hell, blocking the exit and there was no way to escape.She was back in the room with harsh white lights and cold wooden floors.

"Dolly! Come on, haven't you been scolded enough by that woman?"

Iris flicked her long, straight wine-red hair, raised her slender eyebrows, and stared at the reluctant girl following behind with some playfulness and sarcasm.If there is an outsider here at this time, he will find that the two people have an astonishing similarity in appearance, but the older one has a fierce aggressiveness in his gestures, tall and slender, and is wearing a pink dancer. The tights have soft and smooth lines.The baby fat on the younger girl's face has not even completely faded, and her hair is only shoulder length, and it is also wine red.Unlike her older sister, her hair is curly and looks fluffy and soft.

"Iris" looked blankly at the scene in front of her, watching the short-haired girl in the distance slowly walk over, and then passed through her body.She opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't make a sound.In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and continue to stare at the two girls in the dance studio in front of him.

Not long after, another woman walked into the room.

The woman's face was a little pale, but her back was straight and her steps were graceful. When she was not speaking, she had an inviolable gentleness that belonged to ballet.She walked in quietly, and looked at the two sisters who were stretching their legs with satisfied smiles.

As soon as the woman came in, the older girl put away all her sharpness, lowered her long eyelashes, and was as docile as a little white rabbit.The younger girl just silently raised her head and glanced at the woman, then switched legs on her own.

Like a video set at double speed, time flies by in front of me. "Iris" watched indifferently as the woman only spoke to the older girl from the beginning to the end, and did not look at the curly-haired sister next to her from the beginning to the end.For a whole month, the only communication between the woman and her sister was the slap she got after she let out a disdainful sneer on the last day.

"Snapped"!

Time freezes here, and all changes in light and shadow also stop at this moment. "Iris" carefully observed the annoyance and meanness on the woman's face, and she struck hard so that others couldn't help wondering whether the two girls were born alone.But the three people in the room have the same slightly raised eye corners and similarly high nose tips, making one have to believe that they are actually a family.There is an entire wall in the room that is a complete piece of glass. The sky outside the window should have been frozen in a light blue, but suddenly, the color began to surge, from lemon yellow to dark green of summer leaves, and faded to brilliant rosy, until at last the change faded to a gray as deep as coal.Mottled and clammy, like large chunks of dark clouds solidified together.

"Iris" gradually came back to her senses, of course she remembered this place.

For her before the age of 15 - this is hell.

She was not confined to this small dance practice room, "Iris" pushed open the door and found herself on a street.

It was getting late, "Iris" looked around, but found no related persons.She was about to find a place to sit down boredly, but her ears keenly caught the sound of sensitive footsteps.

She turned her head and saw Dolly running fast.

Time may have passed for a long time, and now Dolly looks a little taller than last time, her hair has grown from her shoulders to her shoulder blades, and she has lost a lot of childishness.The backpack was swinging on her back, and her forehead was soaked with sweat.

"Iris" could hear the footsteps of someone other than Dolly.She looked over curiously and saw a young man.

He was still wearing glasses, looking anxious, and followed Dolly closely.

Seeing the distance between the two getting closer, Dolly rolled sideways and hid in a shadowy alley.

The man stopped helplessly, and shouted towards the shadowy alley: "Dolly, come out, you know that even if I can't see, I can still know where you are."

Dolly curled up stubbornly in the shadows, motionless.

The man sighed with a good temper, and didn't force it, but continued: "You know your mother is also worried about you, come out, Dolly."

There was only silence in response to him.

The man was not pestering, he closed his eyes, "I can't waste time outside anymore, come back with me..."

He opened his eyes suddenly and ran in quickly.

The inside was bigger than he had imagined, and there were forks everywhere.He can indeed see the existence of life forms and the flow of energy, but this ability does not allow him to quickly find the shortest route to the life forms.His face gradually became anxious, and his pace became faster and faster.

Finally, after returning to the starting point for the fourth time and changing the route, he finally found Dolly, who was kneeling on the ground at a loss, and an unknown girl next to her at the end of a path.

He squatted down and quickly checked the girl lying on the ground, and found a huge wound behind the ear, which spread all the way down to the neck. It didn't look too long, and blood was gurgling out.

He shook his head silently at Dolly, expressing that there was nothing he could do.

Dolly's face was full of tears, this was the first time she faced death and blood so directly, she choked up and said: "I don't know what happened, she was like this when I got here, she helped me block it, but There's nothing I can do to cure her, not enough..."

"Dolly, you know I can't use my abilities outside."

Dolly looked at him pleadingly, and saw that he looked helpless and hesitant, and the crying in his voice became more intense: "Please, I promise I will never sneak out to dance again, I will definitely listen to my mother, and I will not And will......"

Dolly was overwhelmed by despair like a drowning person, all she knew was to keep making promises, and then try in vain to hold the faint light in her hands.

"dad......"

He looked at the pair of dark eyes that resembled him, but he still couldn't say no. He raised his hand slightly, and a substantial blue-green light appeared on his hand.

The girl's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood no longer flowed out.The man's face also turned pale. Seeing the girl gradually recovering, he stood up from the ground, pulled up Dolly who was silent with her lips pursed, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Dolly wasn't stubborn, she took one last look at the girl lying on the ground, bit her lip, and ran out with the man.

But it was too late.

A crowd surged out of the darkness and surrounded the two of them.When the leader came out from the shadows, Dolly exclaimed in surprise: "Uncle Wang!"

She knew him, he was Dad's colleague when he was in the institute.He owned a Chinese restaurant and treated her well, and she always thought he was one of the few friendly people in the cold and deformed place of the institute.

Dolly tried to look calm, but couldn't help but look up at Dad.

The man was expressionless, but miraculously revealed a trace of gentleness in his silence, as if he had expected this result early on.He let go of Dolly's hand, and said softly into her panicked eyes: "Remember what you said."

He pushed Dolly away, took a deep breath, and ran towards Boss Wang at an extremely fast speed. The people around him tried to stop him, but once the light from the man's hand touched him, his whole body would be like a leaking bird. As the puffer fish fell, the ball of light in the man's hand became bigger and bigger.

Boss Wang was not in a panic either, as if the deaths of the people around him had nothing to do with him. He rolled up his sleeves in a calm manner. It was not the thin arm lines that were hidden under the research clothes in the past, but the strong muscles.

But unexpectedly, the blue light that was supposed to expand was forcibly compressed by the man into a small ice-blue pill when it was closest to Boss Wang. His face turned pale and his speed slowed down, but he still worked hard Throwing back her hands, she yelled, "Dolly!"

Dolly followed to catch the pill, and then she caught the man's eyes.

It was a look of reluctance, helplessness, but firmness.Her heart sank and she understood what the man meant.

Unlike the performance in the movie, the most important turning point in her life did not have a tragic soundtrack, nor did it slow down.Dolly, who came back to her senses, did not continue to pester her, saying nonsense like "No, I won't leave if you don't leave".But the scene is familiar, the sky is full of blood, corpses in disorder, the man's calm and pale face and the needle in Boss Wang's hand, with a drop of water hanging on the shiny needle tip, shining under the moonlight .

"Iris" sat on the wall indifferently, watching the unconscious man being dragged into the car by the staff who came back and drifting away, while the girl who was supposed to be unconscious on the ground patted him because of Boss Wang's arrival. Dust on his body stood up and got into the car.

The car window was rolled down, and the voice inside could be heard faintly.

"You only have this ability to use."

A person laughed and patted the girl on the shoulder, envious of her innate talent.

And farther away, New York at night is quiet and peaceful, only some special places that are open all night are still flashing neon lights and exuding cheerful music.
