Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 40 The Shadow of the Past

Somewhere in District 17.

The boy ran forward without looking back. This was the road that left District 17 and led to the "outside world".

The elder brother who gave him the mobile phone was right. This seemingly inconspicuous thing contained knowledge that he could hardly imagine, even the navigation to the "outside world" was no exception.

He couldn't remember how long he had been running, and he didn't know where he was. The only thing he was thankful for was that under the warning of the citywide alarm, people in the 17th District stayed at home, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

"You're so unbehaved, you actually run away from home."

The voice coming from the front made the boy's heart almost stop for half a second. The door of the originally unoccupied phone booth was pushed open, and a short-haired woman carrying a black suitcase appeared in front of him without warning.

"My sister came all the way to a place like this just to find you."

Fein still had a fanatical and sweet smile on her face. She stretched out her other free hand as an invitation, "What about? Should you go back with your sister, or let your sister break your legs and take you away?" Going back?"

Almost without thinking, the boy turned around and ran in the other direction.

However, before he could take the second step, he hit an oncoming object heavily.

The door of the convenience store beside her was pushed open, and the person who walked out was Fein, who was dozens of meters away from him. After bumping into the boy, she glanced at the black suitcase she was carrying and said, " Look, he is also waiting for you to come back."

"I-I know."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver anymore, the boy could only grit his teeth and said unwillingly.

"Yes, this is a good boy."

Fein really treated the boy like a younger brother who left home, holding the boy's hand affectionately.

However, when she turned around, a sudden change occurred. A cold light flashed in the boy's eyes, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve pierced Fein's back.

All kinds of martial arts, this is a sneak attack!

The mobile phone said that this is one of the most fragile parts of the human body. As long as a successful blow is achieved, the opponent can be paralyzed directly.

Got it!

The boy was delighted.

"Have you... reached the stage of rebellion?"

The expected scream did not come, and he unfailingly pulled out the dagger - he could clearly see that part of the blade had been embedded in Fein's flesh. Then, the boy was horrified to find that the sharp blade had been pressed at some point. Oops, the attack that carried out his belief just now ended up just letting the hilt of the knife lightly touch the opponent.

"Or, you were brainwashed by that rescuer."

Fein-Elnim's eyes turned cold, and the murderous look made the boy feel as if he was in an ice cellar. He involuntarily took a few steps back and fell to the ground, "That's right, he risked his own life to help. You escaped...you are such a smart man, you even thought of hiding you in a locker and fighting to the death, making me mistakenly think that you escaped in another direction."

Her words successfully brought back the boy's broken memories.

In that dark basement, in the closed locker, through the gap, I saw the demon in front of me walking towards the seriously injured rescuer step by step.

Her back blocked the view, and the only sounds outside were the sounds of squeezing and body breaking.

"Why, why won't you let me go?"

The sneak attack failed, and all the boy could do at this moment was to question the other party and stare at Fein with hateful eyes.

"Huh? Didn't he teach you some common sense? For example, only after experiencing pain beyond imagination and witnessing the most profound despair can the gifts given to you by this world blossom and bear fruit."

Fein didn't care about the boy's hatred. She bent down, her lips almost touched the boy's earlobe, and whispered in a whisper that only two people could hear clearly, "Have you ever thought about it, I actually discovered the hidden secret a long time ago." Everything I did to you in the locker was so that you could witness that scene with your own eyes.”

The boy's pupils shrank.

Those memories changed rapidly. At this moment, the fuzzy parts began to revive under the other party's prompts, and everything he believed in also quietly changed.

He seemed to be back in the small locker. Through the gap, he saw that Finn, who had squeezed the rescuer into a pulp, did not go in the other direction. She turned around and headed towards the locker. Showing a bloodthirsty and fanatical smile, he watched Fein walk towards him step by step until her face was pressed against the gap in the locker, looking inside through the gap in her smile.

A few seconds later, he heard a very rhythmic tapping sound.

A familiar yet eerie children's song echoed outside.

"Little rabbit, be good and open the door..."

The next moment, memory and reality overlapped, and all the children's songs turned into whispers in my ears, "And you have never escaped from there."

The boy suddenly looked at the strangely tall black suitcase, and he seemed to have understood what was inside.

“They say you can’t experience true despair without hope.”

Fein straightened up and raised her tone. Her high emotions seemed to have trampled the whole world under her feet, "I have been waiting for three years for you. How could I let you slip away in front of me? Since You asked the question sincerely, so I’ll tell you—that’s because as long as I can use your ability for me, I will be invincible!”

She disappeared for three years and stayed in that dark laboratory for so long, all for this moment of reward.

"You already know the answer, and it's time to go home."

Feyn pouted towards the black suitcase, "The empty shell that has lost its soul is just a tool after all, go and fill in the last part."

...

...

...

As time passed by, Feyn gradually turned from fanaticism to impatience.

After a long time, she looked at the boy's still clear figure, and finally said suddenly, "So that's the case, no wonder you escaped from that yard, I didn't expect that there are people you value in that place."

"I told you I'll go back with you!"

The boy struggled to get up from the ground, "Let's go now."

"Too late."

Fei Yin shook her head, "I hope it's an impurity that must be removed, but don't worry, let my sister help you."

"Sorry to bother you."

A male voice intervened in the conversation between the "siblings".

Feyn frowned, and followed the prestige.

What came into view was a man wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat, with his entire face covered by a mask.

As he spoke, the man was pulling a blue-gray bicycle to the side of the road.

"The whole city has issued a ban, why do you two still stay on the street?"
