【Peace Day】, midnight.
"Come back and gather in twenty hours."
Wen Yao stood in front of the young team and waved his hand: "If you encounter danger, solve it yourself!"
"yes!!"
The young people in the team are both nervous and excited!
After they shouted at the same time, they dispersed and rushed into the darkness.
And the moment they entered the darkness, light began to appear on their bodies.
That light...
Dispelling the darkness around.
After giving the order, Wen Yao sat next to Xu Jiang again.
This time, his attitude was obviously more polite than before.
"Aren't you going back first?"
"No rush, let's chat for a while."
Xu Jiang smiled and said, "I haven't been back for twenty years. Now that I'm at the doorstep, I'm actually a little nervous."
"you……"
Wen Yao hesitated for a moment: "Is it really from Diancheng?"
Xu Jiang didn't say anything, but looked around.
After finding a fist-sized stone, he threw it into the air.
Wen Yao looked at the stone.
Suddenly, Xu Jiang threw a punch out of thin air!
The stone turned into powder!
"Storm Fist!"
Wen Yao's eyes fixed.
At this moment, he no longer doubted Xu Jiang's identity.
He was convinced that Xu Jiang was not only from Diancheng, but also...
In the top city, his status is not low!
"Want to learn?"
Xu Jiang grinned and said, "Shall I teach you?"
Wen Yao was dumbfounded.
"Master Xu, Storm Fist is a martial art from Diancheng. I..."
"I can teach anyone I want!"
Xu Jiang said nonchalantly, "You chat with me and I teach you some skills. It makes sense."
Wen Yao became excited.
Xu Jiang was very calm.
"Are these children here looking for the [key]?"
"Yes."
"After so many years, the people above still haven't given up?"
Xu Jiang sneered, "Maybe the [key] isn't even here."
Wen Yao sighed: "We have to do what the higher-ups tell us to do. Just think of it as a training exercise for these kids."
"Experience?"
Xu Jiang curled his lips: "What kind of experience can we get here? Those beasts don't dare to approach them!"
After a pause, Xu Jiang added another sentence.
"Beasts are afraid of the light."
Wen Yao naturally understood.
But as he himself said, with his identity, he only needs to carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.
As for whether it was meaningful or not, that was not something he could question.
"hehe."
Xu Jiang laughed suddenly.
Wen Yao looked puzzled.
Xu Jiang turned and looked at him.
"Every time you come down here to look for the [Key], do you know what the scene is like in the lower city?"
Wen Yao shook his head.
He really didn't know much about the lower city.
I only know that the people living here are dirty and smelly.
He couldn't even imagine how humans survived in such an environment.
"They call this day 'Peace Day'. Every year on this day, people from the upper city will come to the lower city to pick up the most outstanding person."
Xu Jiang said softly.
When Wen Yao heard this, he looked confused.
"Take the people from the lower city?"
"Yes, they think so!"
Xu Jiang told Wen Yao what happened in various areas on this day every year.
After hearing this, Wen Yao was completely stunned.
We Uptowners...
The one who chose Downtown?
Why?
Does it make any sense?
But soon, he understood.
This is hope.
In despair, the people in the lower city created hope for themselves.
They will feel that they have a chance to become uptowners.
Enjoy the sunshine and the freshness.
If there is not even a little hope, people will collapse.
Even if you can tolerate it for a while, it will eventually become a mess over time!
Although this hope can only be obtained by one person in each region every year, who can guarantee that the person who obtains it is not you?
Even if it is not themselves, they will still hope that their descendants can get this opportunity.
In Wen Yao's opinion, this kind of hope is a bit cruel!
He could even imagine how excited those people would be when they found out they were chosen!
And what is waiting for them?
It's definitely not going uptown.
Then the answer is basically obvious.
However, there was not much sympathy on Wen Yao's face.
No one grieves for cockroaches or rats.
"To demonstrate the legitimacy of this selection... the people in Lower City have put a lot of effort into it!"
Xu Jiang sneered, "Ability, bloodline, appearance, gender! These things can all be reasons for selection!"
"Why would the Upper City bother to test the bloodlines of people from the Lower City? Don't you think...isn't this ridiculous?"
"They may never figure out until they die that the names that appear on the big screen every year... may just be random!"
“I’ve seen many people work hard for the opportunity to go uptown, but ultimately feel disappointed because they weren’t selected.”
"They don't know that there is only one way to the upper city."
“And no one from the lower city can walk this road.”
Wen Yao could feel that Xu Jiang, who had lived in Xiacheng for twenty years, actually had some feelings for Xiacheng.
He was a little curious: "Master Xu, why don't you tell them about this?"
"Tell them, will they believe it?"
