...that happened a long time ago...
… 20,000 years ago, on that blue planet…

……………
Countless high-rise buildings stand in the city, and the huge three-dimensional bridge forms a complex pattern in the sky, and the winding lines are dazzling. A series of glass-covered closed circular passages run through the sky above the city, and one of the suspended trains can be seen roaring past from time to time.
Billboards are erected on top of high-rise buildings, flashing colorful neon lights. It is a noisy and bustling city business district. Music is played continuously throughout the day, and the crowd is bustling, shuttling through the shopping mall on the wide road. The residential area on the other side is much quieter, with only faint light shining from the windows of the countless rooms, blending with the soft lights on the side of the road.
In the residential areas of the city, many small parks and green spaces are scattered throughout the city, or the lake gardens on the ground, or the green sky gardens between high-rise buildings, which make people feel pleasing to the eye. .
In a small garden surrounding the lake, the trees are shady and lush. Dozens of middle-aged men hurried past, as if they were searching for something. It's just that it's night now, and the street lights in the garden are soft, but not bright. Coupled with the surrounding dense woods and entwined vines, it's hard to see clearly.
Holding a bright light source in their hands, they looked carefully at the dark places of the dense jungle one by one, and then went to the lake, looked at the water surface for a long time, and then continued to run forward. After this group of people passed by, the place became quiet again, only residents who occasionally walked by in twos and threes passed by.
After a long time, the moon had risen above the sky, and there was a sudden movement here. Most of the trees here are eucalyptus and spruce trees, tall and straight, and most of them are more than ten meters high. But the place where there is movement now is the dense crown of a eucalyptus tree, and the branches and leaves are shaking and making rustling noises.
In the dark night, a figure emerged from the dense branches and leaves. He half-kneeled on one knee on a thick tree branch, his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, only he seemed to look down.
Then, with a leap, like a black panther, he jumped directly from the top of the ten-meter-high treetop and landed on the ground.
After he landed and stood up, he realized that it was a boy who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. Tall and slender, he wore a black tights over a dark hooded coat, and navy blue jeans that were extremely stretchy hugged his legs. His legs are very long, but they don't look thin and thin. The muscles bulging on his thighs when he jumped down and landed just now are very tight and powerful.
The soft light shone on his face, and when he raised his head, revealing half of his cheek, even the light seemed to freeze for a moment.
It was an incredible face that made people unable to look away once they saw it. The skin was almost glowing in the dark, like the coldest and purest snow on the Tianshan Mountains.
As soon as the boy got up, he turned and ran in another direction.
But he was only paying attention to the movement on the other side, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into him.
With a slap, something seemed to hit his leg, but the force was not heavy, and he didn't even shake it. When he looked up, there was no one in front of him, and when he looked down again, he saw what had hit him.
It was a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old. He squatted on his buttocks and fell to the ground. He didn't cry or hurt, and just stared at him with a pair of big round eyes.
The light was too dark for him to see the child's face clearly, and he only felt that the child's eyes were big and bright, and he just blinked at him like that. There was also a cream crepe on the ground, and the cream and fruit pieces on it rolled to the ground. Obviously, the child was walking while eating, and as soon as it hit him, the cake fell to the ground.
The young man glanced coldly at the child who had fallen to the ground, and after confirming that the child was just a passer-by without any threat, he turned around the child and planned to leave.
But just as he took a step, there was a very slight buzzing sound, something suddenly shot out from the dense forest, and he reacted almost instinctively. He jumped swiftly, and those arrow-shaped glass bullets brushed away from his side. Pass. Several hit the trunk and shattered, and the liquid inside the glass bombs soaked the bark.
The boy turned to run away, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat. A glass bullet that brushed past his calf hit the arm of the child sitting on the ground. As soon as the sharp and tiny needle pierced in, the liquid inside was quickly injected into the child's body. Before the child could react, he fell headlong to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The boy's gaze was paused by the fallen child for a second, and a dozen more glass bullets were shot from all directions. He couldn't dodge, and was hit on the back by one of them. He felt a numbness in his back instantly. Like losing consciousness, the feeling of paralysis quickly swept through his whole body.
His eyes suddenly went dark, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
At the last bit of consciousness, he saw several pairs of feet approaching him cautiously, and he seemed to vaguely hear someone shouting a name anxiously in the distance.
...
……………
When he awoke, it was broad daylight. His head was groggy, obviously the medicine was still taking effect. Although it was daytime, the room was not bright, only a skylight leaked sunlight in.
He got up and moved, and found that his hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes, and the other end of the ropes that tied his hands was still tied to the corner of the cabinet behind him.
Frowning, he looked around, it was a closed room, there was no other exit except for a skylight and a door, and the iron door was closed tightly, it was difficult to pry open. He looked at the skylight thoughtfully, and it seemed that the key to escape was there.
Feeling that something touched his feet, the young man looked down, and his sword eyebrows frowned even tighter.
What bumped into his calf was a fluffy little head. The child had a head of soft black hair. When he lifted up, his head bumped against his calf. It seemed that he had just woken up and was in a daze. hit him.
With small hands and small arms, the small body was bound with ropes round and round, and the legs were not tied, probably because he felt that the child was not a big threat.
The child got up and knelt on the ground, his face looked a little dazed, as if he didn't understand the current situation.
The fluffy little black head looked up, and when it saw him, its big round eyes lit up immediately.
"Big Brother~~"
The child's voice is very tender and crisp, it sounds like the chirping of a bird. That face was white and tender, with baby fat on it, which looked very cute. It seemed that his parents loved him very much. The boy thought of the anxious cry he heard before he passed out. Maybe it was the child's parents who were looking for him.
Then the boy looked at the bound little guy kneeling on the ground, looking up at himself, grinning at himself, there was a gap in the white teeth, which made the child even more silly when he laughed.
…like IQ problems.
The young man's pretty face was expressionless, and he stared coldly at the kid who was smiling at him, and quickly averted his gaze.
His feet were exerting force, and the rope was tied tighter than he imagined. It took him a little effort to break free, and his ankle was aching because of the excessive force.
He sat on the ground and let out a sigh of relief, and began to exert force with his hands, but his arms were tied behind his back, and he didn't know how long it had been tied, and now he felt a little numb, not as flexible as usual, so he was slower than breaking free from the rope on his feet on many.
The child was sitting next to him, quietly, just looking around with a pair of big eyes, turning around from time to time, and he didn't know what was going on in his little head.
Of course, the boy didn't have the time to care about what this little guy was thinking. It was already very good for him not to cry, make noise, or disturb the enemy.
However, just as the young man broke loose halfway from the rope on his hand, the iron door suddenly opened with a creak. After fiddling a few times, those feet seemed to be bound again. After doing this, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.
A burly man with a gun walked in first, followed by a man and a woman. The young man's eyes quickly turned around the three of them. Although the man and woman behind them were not holding guns, they both had one in their belts, and the woman had a dagger stuck in her boots.
The next second, the woman met his gaze, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"Tsk tsk, this face looks really good~"
The woman came over, leaned over, pinched the boy's chin and lifted his face up, watching his face tsk-tsk.
Her gaze wandered around the boy's body, and she couldn't help but patted the boy's cheek provocatively.
"The figure is also good, if it weren't for... my sister, I really want to smell like you often."
"Come on, it's my sister, you can be someone else's mother."
The other man tilted his mouth and laughed happily.
He glanced at the young man. When he was holding the young man, he was in the dark, afraid of alarming the guards and retreated in a hurry, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he looked at him, he couldn't take his gaze away.
The young man's face, with red lips and white teeth, phoenix eyes and starry eyes, and snow-white skin, at first glance, looks even more beautiful than all the global female stars he has seen so far.
However, good-looking is good-looking, the boy's stern lines, slightly deep outline, sharp eyes, and that kind of indescribable indifference, let people see his gender clearly at a glance.
"wait for news."
It seemed that as soon as the leading man spoke, the other two calmed down immediately.
A small portable computer was turned on, and the leading man seemed to be talking to someone via video, another man stood by and watched the conversation between the two, while the woman was sitting on the table bored, looking at the boy from time to time .
Can't move.
The boy frowned in thought.
If you want to break free from the rope, you have to use your hands hard, but when you move your arms, your shoulders will follow. The woman who has been looking at this side will definitely notice it immediately.
He was thinking of other ways, when suddenly the child around him moved. The little guy who had been staying quietly and seemed to be confused by the situation was probably frightened by those tall figures, and moved his body every now and then. , shrunk behind him, and lay on the ground.
The woman's attention was basically on the boy, and she didn't care about the little guy next to him who timidly hid behind the boy. Originally, the little guy was caught incidentally to avoid trouble.
The boy was still thinking, when suddenly a fluffy thing behind him arched his hand.
Then, he felt the hot breath spraying over his fingers, and the rope binding his hands moved for some reason... He immediately realized that it was the little guy shrinking behind him, gnawing his hands with his teeth on the rope.
The rope was a bit thick, and the child seemed to be chewing hard, and even the young man felt a drop of saliva dripping on his hand from time to time.
After an unknown amount of time, the hand behind her suddenly loosened.
The boy's eyes moved slightly, but it was obscured by the shadow of the thin forehead hair, making it difficult to see clearly. His shoulders remained motionless as before.
The attention of the three people had already shifted, because the man in the lead seemed to be talking to the person in the video quickly, with a very unhappy expression, which attracted the attention of the other two.
The young man stared.
It's now-
Almost in an instant, the boy rushed over with lightning speed, his figure was like a vigorous and fierce black panther.
In a second, he rushed to the woman who turned her head to look at her companion. Before the woman could even look back, he pulled out the dagger from the woman's boots and raised his hand.
Blood spurted out from the throat of the woman who had just turned her head back, splashed blood in the air, and a few drops fell on the boy's face.
At the same moment he cut the woman's throat with the dagger, he had already snatched the gun from the woman's waist.
The two bullets shot out along different routes, but they both precisely penetrated the hearts of the two men.
The man's strong body crashed to the ground, and blood flowed out from under him. He opened his eyes wide, showing an expression of disbelief. He had no idea that the handsome young man in front of him could kill three people in a row without even moving his eyebrows.
The young man put down his gun and coldly looked down at the three corpses at his feet. His cheeks were still stained with the blood splashed from the woman's body, and the bright red color against his snow-white skin looked even more gorgeous.
He looked at a few people, and there was no expression on that handsome face, but a bit of hostility leaked from the long and narrow Danfeng eyes, which made people chill.
After kicking the corpses in front of him a few times and confirming that all three were dead, he bent down and put his ears on the ground.
His ears moved, and he could vaguely hear the footsteps of many people coming from outside the door. Obviously, someone was guarding the house outside. Even if he found the key from the corpse, it would be difficult to get out. In addition... the young man glanced to the left, The black-haired child sat obediently on the ground, blinking and blinking at him. I don't know if it was because of lack of heart, but he didn't show any fear because he killed someone. He looked at him for a while, and then looked at him again. Several corpses on the ground looked curious.
... plus there is such a burden.
He sighed, walked over, picked up the child, and threw it on his back.
"Hold tight."
The boy said, his voice was cold and clear, and the child he threw on his back subconsciously hugged his neck.
The young man jumped, stepped on the wall, and climbed to the skylight at the top of the house that was four or five meters high. As soon as he exerted force with his hand, he broke open the glass window. The skylight was so small that the child could barely pass through it, but he pushed it out. Then, he roughly estimated the size of the window, the bones in his body suddenly made a sound, his body shrank rapidly, and he got out of the narrow skylight all at once.
After successfully getting out, the boy continued to lift the dumbfounded little guy, and quickly escaped from the room just like that.
After reaching a safe place, the boy put the child on the ground.
The child blinked his big eyes, looked around the stranger in confusion, raised his little hand and scratched his head.
"Go back by yourself."
The boy looked down at the little guy who only reached his thigh, and said indifferently.
Seven or eight years old, it's time to find my own home.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
But as soon as he took a step, he couldn't move, because the little guy hugged his thigh when he saw that he was about to be left behind.
As soon as the boy turned his head, he saw a fluffy little head stuck to his thigh, with big bright black eyes staring at him eagerly, like an abandoned kitten, pitiful.
A pair of small arms tightly hugged his thighs, and he tried to pull them away, mist gushed out of those big eyes quickly, looking at the boy watery, giving people a strange sense of guilt for no reason.
"Let go."
He stared at the kid coldly and said.
The child opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
The frighteningly gorgeous blood-red liquid made the boy's chest tighten. Without thinking, he picked up the child and ran quickly.
The child was being held by him, and he was still vomiting blood intermittently. The blood stained the child's skirt, which was shocking, and made the boy's heart tighten more and more.
Such a small body is soft and flimsy, and it seems that it will be crushed with a little force.
just in case…
The boy didn't want to think about it anymore, he just quickened his pace towards the hospital.
...
……………
"I can't eat cold or sweet things these days~~"
"Good~~"
The beautiful female nurse smiled and stroked the child's fluffy head, and secretly glanced at the people next to her from time to time.
Ah, it's so pretty.
It was the first time she saw such a good-looking person, and he was still a boy.
As she peeked, she felt so emotional in her heart.
The black-haired boy who was peeked at stood aside, looking at the little guy who was giggling at the young lady with a blank expression.
There were still bloodstains on the chest of the little guy's clothes.
At that time, watching the child vomit blood, he was still a little at a loss. He didn't know what happened, whether he had hurt his internal organs. Injuries to such a small child's internal organs were almost fatal.
As a result, he carried the child all the way to the emergency room of the hospital, and the doctor checked—
Teeth, lost, gone.
Hearing this conclusion, the corners of the boy's eyes twitched.
Thinking about it carefully, this little devil must have lost his teeth while gnawing on the rope just now.
Recalling the way the doctor looked at him with a smile not long ago, the boy stared at the kid who was still giggling, his eyes were cold.
The child didn't notice the cold eyes of the other party at all, and was still grinning, the place where the two front teeth were empty was leaking the wind. The boy couldn't stand the stupidity, so he turned around and left.
Probably as he expected, as soon as he left, the child immediately chased after him, calling for big brother, running with his calves, and tugging at the hem of his clothes with his little hands.
The young man seemed impatient, but he slowed down and reached out to hold the little hand.
The hand held by him was soft and hot.
Children's hands are so warm
The boy who rarely holds other people's hands thought to himself.
"Hey."
He glanced at the child and asked.
"You always follow strangers so casually?"
The child shook his head quickly.
"...why follow me?"
"Big brother is pretty~~ eyes are the prettiest~~~"
Teenager: "..."
