"Big sister, I don't want anything anymore. Can you wake up grandma? Can you let grandma come back?"

Listening to Xiao Xigua's somewhat childish words, Senlu felt a little touched in his heart. He sighed softly, his eyes softened, and he gently stroked the girl's head, giving her warmth to the best of his ability.

After an unknown amount of time, Little Watermelon's crying gradually stopped, but his eyes were still red:

"Grandma must be asleep. I won't cry anymore. I won't disturb her sleep. I promised her that I would be strong and learn to be independent. I won't cry anymore."

"Hmm." Sen Lu hummed softly and shook his head to shake off the thoughts in his mind.

"Pack up before dawn, little watermelon, if you're willing to come with me."

"Wait a minute, sister. Wait for me!"

Little Watermelon wiped her tears and ran into her room. Senlu looked inside through the half-open door and saw that Little Watermelon's room was very tidy, with the mended quilt on the bed neatly folded. A handmade bedside lamp was emitting a soft yellow light, which further highlighted the warmth of the small room.

A thin hose passed through the wall from the head of the old man's bed, fell on the ceiling of Little Watermelon's room, and landed directly on the pillow. Little Watermelon held back tears, picked up the secret phone number between the old man and his granddaughter, and spoke softly as before:

"Grandma, I'm leaving."

Through the scene in front of him, Senlu seemed to see a picture. In this doomsday, every night there was an old man and her granddaughter huddled in a small corner of this world and whispering with a hose. It seemed a little funny to outsiders, but this was the warmth that belonged only to them.

Little Watermelon took out a cloth bag that an old man had sewn for her and stuffed a lot of tattered clothes into the bag. Senlu gently reminded:

"Little Watermelon, I have a lot of clothes that can be exchanged for new ones."

Little Watermelon didn't say anything, but just stood there holding the clothes in her arms, wiping her tears silently. With such a big change, it was hard for Senlu to connect the happy little girl before with the little Watermelon in front of him.

"I want to wear the clothes my grandma mended for me."

"It's uncomfortable to wear, my skin will be rubbed and it's troublesome in the desert, and it's... dirty." Senlu thought about it and finally said the word.

"Grandma is not dirty! I...I just want to wear the clothes that grandma...mends for me."

Little Watermelon shouted loudly, but when he remembered the fierce look of the black-haired girl in front of him, he suddenly became quiet and turned his head away stubbornly.

Senlu said nothing more.

If she were the same girl as before her sister, she would never agree to the old man's last request when faced with such a burden.

She found that she had really changed a lot, becoming more empathetic, and somehow...

She also wanted to bring this little guy along to see if it could add some fun to her boring trip.

"It's up to you. Once you've packed everything, come to the village entrance. I'll wait for you there." Senlu went out and soon disappeared from Xiaoxigua's sight.

Little Watermelon took the money he had saved for his grandmother's medical treatment and ran to the only funeral shop in town, knocking on the door:

"Li Quezi, open the door. I know you are not asleep at this time. Li Quezi, open the door!"

Logically speaking, in today's world, people die every day, and friends and relatives who were still chatting and laughing not long ago may suddenly leave because of an accident. Such things are not uncommon.

Such customs and traditions should have been abandoned, but human emotions have become rare and precious in the last days, so shops that arrange funeral services can be seen in almost every settlement.

A limping, fierce-looking man opened the door angrily, scaring Little Watermelon outside the door.

The man still had cards in his hand. The house behind him was filled with the smell of alcohol and smoke. There were several other men sitting together in the house playing cards.

"Fuck it, what do you want to do in the middle of the night, kid? Huh?! Do you want to die?"

"I want a funeral of the highest standard, tomorrow morning! I want the best coffin, and the best place!"

The man was so angry that he laughed.

"You... Hehe, what are you doing, little brat? Go away, or I'll beat you up..."

Before he could finish his words, Little Watermelon took out a few transistors, some sophisticated electronic parts and a lot of old metal federal coins from somewhere.

The man's eyes lit up slightly when he saw those electronic components for the first time.

The value of these things in the end times is even higher than gold! They are super hard currency. Selling these electronic components to the Travel Journal Chamber of Commerce will definitely bring a large amount of supplies, at least enough for one person to eat for two years!

Greed flashed in the man's eyes. He looked around and confirmed that no one was around. He snatched the bag from Little Watermelon's hand and pretended to look at it for a few seconds.

"These things are worthless. Why are you selling such junk? Go to bed early, little brat."

As he said this, the man was about to close the door, but Little Watermelon rushed in like crazy and scrambled for the bag:

"You're lying! Li Cripple, you're lying! I know these things are very valuable!"

Several men behind Li Quezi quickly stood up and came forward and said cheerfully:

"Hey, Lao Li, what happened?"

Looking at Xiao Xigua's eyes filled with hatred and ferocity, Li Quezi had no idea why this kid suddenly went crazy today. He kicked Xiao Xigua to the ground in annoyance and was about to throw him out by the collar.

The next moment, Little Watermelon suddenly bit Li Guizi's hand.

Li Guizi felt the pain and became angry. He slapped Little Watermelon in the face. The little guy's pink face quickly became swollen. He fell on the cold ground outside the door but didn't cry. He just looked at Li Guizi fiercely:

"Help my grandma with her funeral. Help my grandma with her funeral."

Looking at the girl's hateful eyes, Li Guizi felt a chill in his heart. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw a long knife pointing at his face:

"Do you want to die?"

Li Guizi was slightly startled, and saw a black-haired girl exuding murderous intent who had arrived at some point. At this moment, she was staring at him with a cold gaze, and the long knife was pointed at his neck, just a millimeter away.

The look in the girl's eyes made him feel as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He had seen this kind of look. Only a guy who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood could have this kind of look.

Li Cuzi's legs suddenly went limp and he stepped back. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, crawling backwards in a panic.

Several men didn't know what was going on and gathered around. One of them saw that Senlu looked thin and was still a girl, so he smiled disdainfully and picked up a bench and smashed it on the girl's head viciously.

The next moment, the girl grabbed his wrist at a speed he couldn't even see clearly. The girl's eyes flashed, and the terrifying force made the man let go of his hand in pain.

Seeing that he was suppressed by the girl like this, the man's blood boiled and he swung his fist at the girl again:

“Go to hell!”

The girl sighed.

The next moment, she grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it, then kicked him in the knee. A crisp breaking sound was heard, and the man howled in pain. He was kicked to his knees by the girl.

"Ok?"

Senlu kicked the man in the face again, knocked him to the ground, and twisted his arm slightly. The man felt pain and kept slapping the floor to show weakness.

The man's miserable wails echoed in the room. The remaining companions swallowed their saliva when they saw it, looked at the girl who exuded a terrifying and oppressive feeling like a human-shaped beast, and silently put down their weapons and took a few steps back.

Sen Lu stepped over the man and came in front of Li Quezi, holding the long sword high, his eyes flashed red, and a crazy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Did you hit the little watermelon with your left hand just now?"

The implication of the words was self-evident. Li Guizi broke out in cold sweat and knelt on the ground without daring to say a word.

Sen Lu snorted coldly, but did not drop his sword. He just said:

"I'll be back in three days. If I'm not satisfied, you can give up your hand."

The man's chest heaved violently and he nodded hurriedly, looking absent-minded.

This girl is crazy.

The other party is definitely a madman who kills without blinking an eye!!

After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head tremblingly, and found that the girl had left with the little watermelon at some point, and the cloth bag containing the electronic components was also gone.

Several subordinates looked at each other, and the man yelled:

"Didn't you hear me?! Why aren't you doing it yet?! Do it on the highest scale possible!"

.........

.........

Listening to the noise coming from the town, Senlu sneered, put on his helmet, stepped onto the Ranger, and glanced at Xiao Xigua:

"What are you still standing there for, little watermelon, get in the car."

Little Watermelon stood there blankly, looking at Senlu who was so scary in her heart before, unable to speak, her nose twitched slightly, and her eyes soon turned red again:

"Sister, thank you...thank you...if grandma can't sleep peacefully..."

She suddenly felt that the sister in front of her was not scary at all, but the most gentle and best sister in the world.

Looking at Little Watermelon who rushed over to hug him and cried loudly again, Senlu smiled helplessly and patted Little Watermelon on the back to comfort him:

"Okay, don't be touched. I just want to take you to that big barrier and sell you for a good price."

Little Watermelon: “…”

She suddenly felt that this sister was still a little scary.

The sun rises,

The golden glow spreads over the boundless desert Gobi, which is vast and high, magnificent and majestic. The mountains in the distance gradually emerge from the mist. The coldness of the golden earth at night is dispelled by the warm sun. Little Watermelon always feels warm in his body, perhaps it is the warmth in his heart, or perhaps he has found a harbor in this world that can give him a sense of security...

..........

..........

Driving until noon the next day.

The black Ranger was galloping through the desert. The girl held the front of the car with both hands, leaning down. The black gown set off the girl's tall and slender figure. Little Watermelon leaned out from Senlu's arms, blinking his big eyes at the surrounding scene. After Senlu cleaned his body, the little guy finally revealed his true face.

She doesn't look like a barbarian at all. Her cute pink face and delicate features make her look like a princess who has lived in a wealthy environment since childhood. Except for the princess cut on her head that looks like a watermelon upside down, she would be almost unrecognizable.

The dust blowing in his face soon choked the little guy and made him cough:

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."

Senlu pushed Little Watermelon's head down, resting his chin lazily on Little Watermelon's round head, and said teasingly:

"Hold on tight, or I'll be gone if you fall, little watermelon."

Upon hearing this, Little Watermelon's face turned pale, and after complaining a few words, he sat obediently on Senlu's legs, not daring to move anymore.

Since childhood, her sense of smell has been much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. She can distinguish a lot of information, even emotions, through smell.

She can differentiate between negative emotions and positive emotions.

For example, the smell of Li Guizi's ferocity just now was very "spicy", while those onlookers felt an indescribable "sourness".

At this moment, the scent of the young girl was still lingering at the tip of her nose.

She quite liked the smell of this sister, which was like the scent of oranges dried by the sun, very fresh and pleasant.

It was clearly the feeling that only a gentle elder sister could have, but when Little Watermelon thought of how she looked when she was fierce, his face drooped.

She didn't know where this sister would take her, she only knew that it was comfortable and peaceful to be with her...

The images of Group A were continuously transmitted to the live broadcast room. People watched the scenes in the copy and resonated with the passionate, indignant, cold or heartwarming images.

In Group C’s images, a scene is being played out in front of tens of thousands of eyes.

In the live broadcast of 'Thousand Faces of Ghost', a young man was lying on the ground in a miserable state. Countless strings bound his body and slowly lifted it up. The blood that kept flowing from his forehead showed how miserable the young man was.

The young man calmly looked at the figure walking towards him step by step, letting the ropes that bound his body cause him to bleed profusely.

He was a guy who was more handsome than the girls.

"You win," the detective said.

"Of course, how could I lose to a guy like you."

"'Detective'? Hehe, you caught my attention among those idiots, but that's it. Just be a mask for me."

The Thousand Faces Ghost Smile lightly lifted the detective's chin, and countless wriggling puppet lines under the young man's body controlled his body, making it impossible for him to make a move to signal to leave the game.

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile looked at the young man with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. After a few brief glances, he seemed to have lost interest and slowly passed by the young man.

After he left, all that was left was a mask lying on the ground. A gold watch was inlaid on the top of the mask, and the detective's features could be vaguely seen from some details.

As the boy's puppet string twitched, the mask quickly flew to the young man's side and turned into one of the dozens of masks surrounding him...

Chapter 456: Predatory Barrier

Hundreds of thousands of people watched the detective transform into a mask, and even the live broadcast room fell into silence for a short moment.

You know, no matter what, the detective is a star player on the All-Star list, but now he was eliminated early in the first round of the game, which is shocking.

: Detective...was eliminated just like that?

: How is it possible? The detective hasn’t even used his own abilities!
