Eight years later.
2367, December 7, 5:42. Hua Yi finished counting today's accounts and turned off the computer.
This is a fruit and vegetable trading company, responsible for the surrounding several towns of goods scheduling work. Hua Yi is in charge of the finance and statistics of the store. It has been a year since he came to the company. Huayi is 17 years old this year. With the progress of science and technology and the continuous reform of the education system, the means of human talent training has become more and more mature, and is developing in a pragmatic direction. The impact of the great migration on the human social system is so great that the original bloated education system has to be reformed to adapt to the new living environment. Most children can complete all the necessary courses to survive by the age of 15 to 16. Hua Yi also completed her studies a year ago, and with the help of her sister-in-law, she found a good job.
4 o'clock is the beginning of the night on the planet. Most people on the planet will finish their work at this time, go home to rest and enjoy dinner with their families. The reason why it is called "Mi Xue" is probably because the explorers who first came here often lost themselves in the snow, because they are a little far away from the stars. The surface is covered with snow all the year round, and the outdoor temperature is between minus 50 and 70 degrees centigrade. The surface of Miyuki star is flat, there is no trace of intense crustal movement, and the meteorological change is relatively simple, which is more suitable for human migration.
Hua Yi tidied up her things and finally confirmed that the lights in the office were off, so she closed the door and went to the subway station. Although there is only one subway line in Dongxue Town, the convenience it brings to the residents is irreplaceable, especially for people like Huayi who have no financial strength to buy maglev cars.
With a vast territory, the range of human activities on this planet is less than 1% of its surface area. Dongxue town is already one of the relatively large human city states, with a population of nearly 300000. Although the climate conditions are not good, there are abundant minerals buried under the ice, which makes the development of the planet relatively fast.
Huayi walked two blocks and turned left to the entrance of the subway station. Today, I worked overtime much later than usual. Thinking that my aunt might be waiting for him to come back, Hua Yi stepped up and walked quickly to the entrance.
"Today I got my salary. Should I buy some bags of pine and snow cakes for my sister-in-law? She likes to eat it most, but she is always reluctant to buy it. " Hua Yi thought as she walked.
"It's snowing harder and harder..." Looking up at the night sky.
The snowflakes of MI Xuexing are diamond shaped, about the size of a quarter of a palm. They fall with the wind, like white fallen leaves. The scene is unspeakably beautiful. It snows four fifths of the year, so there are many alien tourists here to enjoy the snow.
"All of a sudden, like a spring breeze, thousands of pear trees bloom..." Every time I see this kind of scenery, Huayi can't help thinking of the ancient poems. Hua Yi likes these ancient poems very much, because he always feels that he is the descendant of Chinese people in the earth age subconsciously, so he is especially kind to these Chinese style ancient poems. For an orphan without father or mother, his life experience is always the deepest obsession in his heart.
"The wind blows the snow in the night, the lonely stranger..." Thinking wildly, he entered the subway station.
"Eh?" Hua Yi stopped and stood.
"No one?" At this moment, the subway station should be full of people, but there is no one. No one, no voice, next to the window selling subway tickets, a cup of coffee braved a faint heat, a touch of uneasiness ran to my heart.
"It's so weird. How could it be like this? There's always a feeling that something's wrong. "Hua Yi thought, his palm was wet, just when he wanted to shout twice to confirm whether there was really no one. Suddenly, the unexpected happened.
Hua Yi only felt a cold and gloomy air from his back, as if countless eyes were staring at him. There was a strange sound in his ears from far to near. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Locked in!" Hua Yi was shocked.
"Get down!" With a roar, the collar was caught and pulled to the ground. At the same time, there was a wind behind her head. Hua Yi felt that her skin contracted and hurt as if she had been pricked by a dense needle. Lying on the ground, I felt a little shocked. I just looked up and saw a young man crawling in front of me.
Hua Yi's consciousness recovered a little pure and bright, and he fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him. He was as old as himself. He had black hair and a little messy. He was wearing a Navy travel suit and carrying a marching bag on his back. However, the young man's clothes were worn from head to foot, and he was very embarrassed.
"What is he looking at?" Huayi looked along the young man's eyes. In the corner of the ceiling, there was a fuzzy shadow crawling slowly along the wall.
"It's just that thing!" Hua Yi was surprised.
"The killer is for me. I didn't expect to involve you. I'm sorry." The boy said, but his eyes were fixed on the empty shadow in the dark, as if he was afraid that it would run away.
"Killer?" Hua Yi curiously said that since the end of the earth age 200 years ago and the great migration of mankind, the United Nations has been reorganized into the Star Alliance, and most countries have gradually disintegrated, forming numerous organizations and coalitions of large and small. With the development of space exploration and immigration, regional autonomy has gradually replaced national centralization and become the mainstream social form among the stars. The federal state still exists in form, but the real power is in the hands of local self-government. Human beings are extending their hands to every corner of the galaxy. In addition to the regional autonomous local governments, various kinds of organizations emerge as the times require, including various killer organizations.Killers always belong to certain organizations. There are many similar organizations. If there is no connection between them, they will form the dark world of the interstellar age. They use and contain each other. They are the darkest alien of human beings. These organizations have their own business scope and different purposes and rules of conduct. There are not only the notorious gangs, but also the killers. The world has different opinions on them, but no matter who they are, they are not willing to provoke these "bereaved stars". Hua Yi didn't know about these organizations, but more or less he had heard of them. The boy said that the shadow opposite was a killer, which made Hua Yi associate with those mysterious rumors.
"Cluck, little fox, do you think you can escape from this remote planet? Cluck, cluck... " The dark shadow on the ceiling made people shudder with piercing laughter.
"It's really a person!" Hua Yi murmured in his heart, "why is it so strange to laugh? Is it a pervert?"
At this time, the black haired boy said harshly: "ghost, you assassinated my teacher. I should have broken you to pieces. But I'm not good at learning skills. I'm not your monster's opponent, but don't think I'm afraid of you. If you have the ability, you can let me go!"
However, the last sentence is obviously not strong enough.
"It's the enemy!" Hua Yi heart way, "this youth just as if saved me, I want to help him?"
However, without waiting for Hua Yi to think more, the dark shadow gave a strange smile, and the killing move had already been made. The black shadow seemed to spray something out of his mouth, and a cloud of white smoke seemed to rush towards him like a living creature. The black haired boy's face turned pale, but unexpectedly, the cloud of white smoke like living creature passed by the boy and went straight to Huayi. Without waiting for the young man to reflect, the white smoke had settled in front of Huayi.
However, the sudden change, Hua Yi stood in the same place, staring at the white smoke in front of him, at a loss, looking at the mass of things five centimeters in front of him floating around, unable to figure out what medicine was sold in the killer gourd. The black haired boy looks at Hua Yi with astonishment. At the beginning, he just watched the ghost fog take away the teacher's life. The scene at that time is like a lingering nightmare. He has been pestering in the heart of the boy for half a year. However, in front of him, he seemed to be at the same age, but the boy with the same black hair was standing in front of the ghost fog unharmed, even looking at himself with a bitter smile from time to time, as if he was asking what happened to him. The young man with black hair felt that his brain was a little short circuited. "How could this happen? Did the killer do it on purpose? "
Just as the young man with black hair was surprised, the shadow suddenly said, "little fox, who is that woman with pure Yin body?" Dark shadow's voice was abnormal and serious.
The young man with black hair looked at Hua Yi and the shadow, which made him more confused. Hua Yi felt angry and funny at this time. She said: "even if my hair is longer and my eyebrows are more beautiful, I can't be regarded as a woman."
Without waiting for him to open his mouth, the young man with black hair said, "ghost, if you want to do something, hurry up. Don't make a fuss here. Do you want to distract me? Where are the women here? " At the moment, Hua Yi is also a determined expression of "what he said is true".
The shadow seemed to take a breath of cold air, and then said in a strange voice: "if it wasn't for a woman, it would not be pure Yin body, so there is only one possibility, that is, there are extremely Yin and cold things on the little ghost, forcing my white spirit not to come forward. Interesting Voice did not fall, the shadow of the shadow like body along the ceiling shadow rapid floating near, blink of an eye to within ten steps.
Hua Yi felt that his whole body was enveloped in a murderous atmosphere, and the cold light suddenly appeared in front of him. At first, the young man took out his black hair and took out his shadow.
"Little fox, do you want to die?" The shadow was blocked by the young man with black hair. Obviously, it was a bit unexpected, but it was not in a hurry to launch a second attack. The shadow, which was close to the wall, moved quickly, as if a poisonous snake was looking for the time to attack.
The young man with black hair said in a loud voice: "the coward who only dares to hide in the dark, how can I let you kill innocent people indiscriminately?" With that, he spread his posture, bent his legs slightly, leaned forward slightly, and held the handle with his backhand to form a defensive posture. At this time, Hua Yi could see clearly the short knife in the hands of the black haired boy. The blade was about one foot three inches long, with a lavender handle. The blade had a zigzag pattern. What was more amazing was that the whole blade was wrapped in a light purple awn, and at the same time, it made a crisp "crackling" sound.
"What a beautiful little Tai Dao!" Hua Yi couldn't help exclaiming, "it seems that this young man is not an ordinary person."
Obviously, the shadow was a little afraid of the weapon in the young man's hand. He walked around them, but he was reluctant to move. The young man with black hair was ready, his eyes locked on the drifting shadow, and he said, "friend, what do you call me?"
Hua Yi is first a Leng, then very straightforward answer: "my name is Hua Yi, and you?"
The young man with black hair said with a smile: "what a strange name. My name is qinze Ming. You can call me qinze Ming."
