Chapter 45 We "Mingri" are different from others (two in one)



The sudden stop made Li Jingwen unable to dodge and she was hit hard on Bai Ling's back.

"occur……"

She was about to speak, but the next second, a pair of cold hands covered her mouth.

These hands were like ice cream just taken out of the freezer, so cold that it made the hair on your body stand on end, and they felt icy cold on your face.

When she looked up, Li Jingwen saw Bai Ling's serious face.

"Quiet," he whispered, slowly withdrawing his hand, "You must... stay quiet!"

As he said this, he stared straight into the darkness deep in the corridor, alert as if there was something there.

Infected by his vigilance, Li Jingwen squatted down and stared straight at the darkness in the distance.

Then the next second, Li Jingwen's pupils shrank slightly.

At this moment, in her eyes, the darkness that should have been pitch dark could actually clearly see the "outline" of an object.

It was a tall figure, who seemed to be sitting astride something, holding a weapon that looked like a "spear" in his right hand. In the helmet on his head, red light could be seen flashing, surging like a tide.

It was clearly night, but one could clearly see the black mist surrounding the figure, as if it was silently coming from a distant place, stepping on the black mist.

Looking at the black shadow, Bering said softly: "That is, the 'Dark Knight'!"

As he said this, Bering looked at the helmet on the face of the "Dark Knight".

It was a wooden helmet that looked like a mask, crying and laughing.

It has to be said that the real "Dark Knight" satisfied all of Li Jingwen's illusions about the "supernatural".

The tall figure that can be clearly seen in the darkness, the cold temperament like a murderous ghost, the black armor that looks like flowing gold, and the black warhorse under him, every detail is like a fantasy novel roaring into reality.

The only strange thing is that the black-armored knight is not wearing a diamond helmet, but a wooden helmet.

Li Jingwen was a little shocked when she stole a glance at the knight in the dark night: "This is... the Knight of the Dark Night!"

Sure enough, this man named Bai Ling did not lie to her. In this world, supernatural phenomena do exist!

Li Jingwen was about to be distracted by the teacher's soul-stirring roll call, but after seeing the Knight of Darkness appear in front of them, the illusion in her heart was rekindled again.

She stared at the knight, leaned close to Bering to ease her fear, and whispered, "What should we do now?"

Bai Ling's face was solemn: "Under normal circumstances, we should immediately restrain the other party's actions."

"The Dark Knight is a 'dangerous' alien species, which means that if left alone, it will cause consequences no less than dozens of serial killers. In addition, the Dark Knight will greatly affect human vision and physical health, which is very dangerous to ordinary people." Bailing slowly stood up against the wall, "And people like us exist to avoid such a future."

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Li Jingwen nodded slightly.

But the next second, she looked at Bai Ling blankly: "Wait, why are you telling me so much?"

When these words were spoken, the scene froze for a moment.

This should have been a suspicious point that Li Jingwen discovered a long time ago. For some reason, Bai Ling did not hide many of his problems. This did not fit Li Jingwen's imagination of a "secret person". Instead, he looked like... a salesperson in a pizza shop promoting the latest products to customers.

But she is still too young.

If Bai Ling really had intentions towards her, then she shouldn't have spoken out so openly when she had her suspicions.

After all, Li Jingwen is just a high school student. And unlike other ordinary high school students, she is also a naive high school student who lacks social experience due to her special life experience.

It really makes me feel guilty to include a girl like this in the plan.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling glanced at the firm but unusually slow pace of the Night Knight in the distance, thought about it, and began to brew emotions in his heart.

After a long while, Bai Ling finally gave a bitter smile and said, "This may seem a little strange, but it's natural that you would be suspicious."

"But there is one thing I need to make clear. I am different from those people who deal with supernatural creatures as you imagine. In other words, 'Bright Day' is different from other secret organizations."

Bai Ling said: "Other organizations and officials choose to conceal information in order to appease the public and officials, and sometimes they even erase the memories of certain parties involved. But Mingri is different. If we have to compare, then we are the group of people who like to jump around the most among these organizations. Whether it is live broadcast or film and television, if possible, we also want to go on the news to publicize this knowledge that should have been hidden. Some people even want to post big-character posters on the streets to spread the news widely."

"Because our goal is to let the public know all this and teach humans how to deal with these monsters," Bai Ling patted Li Jingwen on the shoulder, "We have always believed in one truth: if we want to survive, we have to help more people survive."

"So, I'm telling you all this now so that you can better handle similar situations in the future. And we also hope that if you encounter similar situations in the future, you can tell others who don't know."

After listening to Bai Ling's explanation, although it was still a little difficult to understand, Li Jingwen's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

In fact, even if she knew that Bai Ling had other intentions, she would probably still stubbornly follow him.

Because her life was so dark and hopeless that even if this strange monster pulled out a gun and pierced her eyes, it would not let Li Jingwen see a worse future. Compared with the reality that was flat and even painful, the surreal reality of being exploited was more exciting.

"Actually, I shouldn't have asked that," Li Jingwen said with some regret, "I should have been more silent and calm, instead of being scared by that knight and saying something without thinking!"

Li Jingwen admitted that she asked the question on impulse because she was frightened by the Dark Knight.

This is normal. Even if you are a fanatic about the supernatural, everyone will be frightened when seeing something beyond reason for the first time.

The fact that Li Jingwen can still stand trembling behind Bai Ling shows that she is quite courageous and has a strong determination.

However, she soon heard Bering's slightly bitter voice: "But I tell you it's not entirely because of 'Daylight'. And, um, the Prophet..."

After hesitating for a while, Bai Ling shook his head and didn't continue.

He took something out of his pocket, looked down at Li Jingwen, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to her.

Li Jingwen subconsciously took it and placed it in her palm. She was a little surprised by the silence she received.

Her fingers gently stroked the object, and the next second, Li Jingwen's face suddenly changed color!

Although she did not have much professional knowledge, Li Jingwen, who had been baptized by countless film and television works, could still feel at a glance what Bai Ling handed to her.

It was a delicate and exquisite pistol! The man in front of me actually gave me a pistol? !

Li Jingwen subconsciously glanced at Bai Ling, and then she noticed that the expression on Bai Ling's face was a little... complicated.

"Holding it may not necessarily protect you, but it will at least provide some psychological comfort."

As he spoke, Bai Ling once again looked at the Dark Knight in the distance.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Because I don't know what to do next."

"The intelligence is wrong. The Dark Knight is not a 'danger', but a 'disaster' that is about to cross the 'danger'!"

Bai Ling's voice was somewhat bitter: "This is beyond my ability to handle, so even if the prophet asked me to take you, I can't continue to do this."

"It seems that someone has avoided the prophet's calculations in advance. It must be some other 'disaster'." Bering shook his head. "Otherwise, the prophet would not have made a mistake in his calculations, let alone given us wrong information."

"Disaster"? Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of this word in Bai Ling's words, Li Jingwen still instinctively felt that the guy in front of her was very dangerous! So she subconsciously opened her mouth, and after a long time she said, "What can I do?"

Li Jingwen got some information from Bai Ling.

For example, the intelligence system of the organization "Daylight" seems to be very rich, otherwise there wouldn't be a dedicated intelligence officer for each Night Knight. Another example is that Bering came with two people, which means that "Daylight" believes that the Night Knight is a monster that can be dealt with by two people.

But it seems that the "Daylight" intelligence, which should have been extremely powerful, failed this time. The enemy, the Dark Knight, seemed to be much stronger than they had imagined, so that the people who came to deal with this matter began to feel powerless.

But even so, he did not retreat.

He fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out something.

Although she was in the dark, Li Jingwen could tell at a glance that the gun was the same as the one in her own hand, also a delicate little black pistol.

Bai Ling loaded the pistol skillfully and looked back at Li Jingwen: "Although it may be a bit reluctant to say this, I hope you can do what I say in the future."

"I will deal with the Night Knight next, and if you can, you'd better evacuate the people around us," Bailing said. "I should have done it, but I tried and failed. So I can only ask you, as a student of the school, your words should carry more weight than mine."

However, this is not the case. As a marginalized person in the school, no one understands better than Li Jingwen how insignificant her words are.

But she said nothing, just held the pistol silently.

Looking at Li Jingwen, Bai Ling thought for a moment, then reached out and patted her head gently.

This action startled the girl slightly.

Li Jingwen looked up at Bai Ling, then saw the expression on his face.

What kind of expression is this? It shows fear, contemplation, sadness, and even regret.

But I have no regrets.

Such an expression was so vivid that it deeply struck Li Jingwen's heart.

In a trance, Li Jingwen finally understood why she liked those grand and righteous tragedies.

Because she is deeply obsessed with "sacrifice".

"Sacrifice" is a noble sentiment, a sincere heart that can break free from constraints and selflessly dedicate itself to others. With such a sentiment, you can shine a brilliant light in the dark world.

"Sacrificing" for justice, for the weak, and for a better tomorrow, this kind of self-satisfying emotion will make people feel excited and their thoughts fluctuate even if they experience and repeat it a thousand times.

Because this world is too dark, Li Jingwen longs for this selfless "altruistic spirit".

And today, she actually saw a similar expression in real life.

"Please, Mr. Li," Bai Ling said, "It may be a bit unreasonable, but since you are someone that the prophet values, it means that you are very important, at least more important than me."

"People like me can die if they want, but people like you who are valued by the prophet should at least die after us."

"I don't understand why you're a high school student, but since the prophet said you're a future 'hero', you're probably going to be more powerful than I thought."

Bai Ling pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing: "So let a small pawn like me cross the river to serve as a backup for heroes like you."

As he spoke, Bai Ling stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to rub Li Jingwen's head.

However, after hesitating for a moment, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face. He withdrew his hand and handed something to Li Jingwen.

Li Jingwen looked down and saw that it was a mobile phone.

Bai Ling looked at Li Jingwen and coughed softly: "This is my cell phone..."

"Take it with you. If possible, remember to give it to the people of 'Daylight'," Bai Ling said. "Tell them not to burn paper money, but to burn houses and cars. Things like the Tiandi Bank cannot keep up with inflation underground. It has to be hard currency..."

He talked on and on, as if trying to make a lot of things clear in just a dozen seconds.

After finally explaining to "delete the computer browsing history", Bai Ling finally stopped narrating.

He looked at the Dark Knight in the distance again, then picked up his pistol and pushed Li Jingwen beside him.

"Go ahead," he said, "I'll help you get attention."

"I can only hold on for five minutes at most, which means you should try to evacuate all the people around you within five minutes!"

Finally, Bai Ling said, "And... absolutely, absolutely do not let the Night Knight leave the teaching building!"

"Once it leaves the teaching building and disappears into the darkness, no one can stop it!"

"You must remember this," Bai Ling said seriously, "I'm counting on you, classmate!"

"Rescue is on the way, but before that, I need to hold that guy back first! You, like me, need to save as many people as possible!"

Bai Ling's expression was extremely serious: "Because we, Ming Zhou, exist for this purpose!"

These words pierced through Li Jingwen's chest like an arrow, making her pale face slightly flushed.

However, before she could react.

The next second, Bai Ling, as if he had finished leaving his last words, suddenly jumped up from behind the wall.

The figure moved so fast that Li Jingwen could feel her hair being gently blown by Bai Ling's movements.

It's like a sunny doll that's wet and listless on a rainy day.

He shouted to the Dark Knight in the distance: "Hey!"

"The person you are looking for is here!"

The sound was so loud that everyone in the entire teaching building, except the Night Knight, could hear the roar that seemed to be bursting out from the chest.

Then, Li Jingwen saw Bai Ling holding a pistol and rushing into the darkness without hesitation! The night completely concealed his figure, and only the occasional gunshot could indicate his current state.

After taking a look at the gun, Li Jingwen pursed her lips slightly.

Then she took a step forward and staggered into the classroom.

At this moment, all the students looked out the window curiously, and because of their geographical location, they were the first to see the figure that even the black fog could not dissipate.

The next second, excitement and confusion intertwined, making them unconsciously stretch their necks and whisper to each other.

What foolish people are, they can only notice the glamour of the surface, and are completely unaware of who in the darkness is risking their lives for them and throwing their lives away like garbage.

Thinking of this, Li Jingwen walked slowly forward and stood on the podium.

She seemed to appear suddenly from the darkness, scaring the teachers and classmates.

The teacher was a little dissatisfied: "Li Jingwen! What were you doing just now? The teacher called you so many times and you didn't respond!"

The students also started to make a noise: "Hey teacher, just ignore her and let's continue the class..."

These words should have easily hurt the girl's heart, but at this moment they could not make her feel any pain at all.

On the contrary, she even wanted to laugh.

A vulgar, low-brow and kitsch person...

Li Jingwen thought so in her heart, and then she stood on the podium for the first time, holding her head high and facing all the students in front of her.

She could feel herself tense, but also felt as if there was a fire burning in her chest.

She let the flame ignite her thoughts, and the sparks in the sky were like her trembling words at this moment.

"Now, everyone!" Her voice was clear, but surprisingly powerful. "Start evacuating immediately!"

"The people of the 'Daylight' organization are fighting against the Knight of Darkness, but he won't be able to hold out for long. When he fails, the Knight will execute us all!"

When these words were spoken, the whole class was stunned.

The next second, everyone laughed out loud.

Some people teased Li Jingwen: "Li Jingwen, you are not crazy because of your father, right? Why are you saying such nonsense? I told you to read less novels..."

Li Jingwen remembered very clearly that this guy was a girl who often bullied her.

Li Jingwen was not clear about the reason for the bullying. It would be better to say that for some people, there was no need for a reason to bully others.

Usually when she saw this guy, Li Jingwen would lower her head and walk around him, unable to even look up at the road, and could only be a silent passerby.

But today, for the first time, she stopped being silent.

She felt the weight of the dark object in her hand, pursed her lips slightly, and raised her right hand to point to the sky.

Then the index finger twitched slightly, and the trigger clicked! The sound like thunder echoed throughout the class, followed by a faint smell of gunpowder lingering at the tip of everyone's nose, along with the beads of sweat on the tip of the nose slowly falling.

Holding the pistol in her right hand, Li Jingwen said calmly: "I don't want to repeat it a second time."

"Everyone move, take shelter immediately," she looked at the girl, her tone full of undisguised disgust, "Even you, it goes the same way!"

"Don't do stupid things, and don't waste other people's sacrifices."

“Take action!”
