Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the past three years, some places have flourished and changed a lot, while others have remained the same, as if time has stood still.

There are still places where life is not as good as it was three years ago.

Dieter is a port city located northeast of Citi, founded in 1815 and covering an area of about 370 square kilometres, including part of the water.

Dieter was once one of Citi's most developed industrial cities, with both shipping and land transportation being extremely developed.

However, over time, due to the increase in labor costs, the rise of Red Flag heavy industry, and the shift of Citi's policy, the world's industrial center shifted from Citi to the Red Flag-dominated sub-community, and a new wave of Citi-centered computer technology revolution unfolded in California.

Losing the original core industry and not catching up with the rise of new industries, this once glorious industrial pearl has now lost all its luster.

On this day, a dusty white man, carrying a worn denim bag, wearing a white-washed denim suit, and a cowboy hat with a raw brim that had begun to appear, walked into the once prosperous but now tattered city.

"Hey, I said man, you don't look like you're from here, you're from Texas, you're a cowboy?" A tall black man greeted him on the edge of a small basketball court surrounded by tattered barbed wire on the side of the road.

"Hey man, I'm not from Texas, but I did spend some time over there. As for the cowboys, I can barely say that, but I am not very good at serving the animals, and I don't make much money there, and I can't afford to buy my own house. Recently, the value of beef has depreciated again, and there is no need for so many people on the ranch, so people like me have to change places to earn a living. I heard that the house is cheap here, so I came here to have a look. ”

"Ha-ha-ha! The houses here are cheap? Well, to be honest, the houses here are really cheap enough! For one dollar, you can buy a large apartment of more than 100 square meters in the center of North Dieter, and you can pick and choose. You know, just 20 years ago, these houses were sold for 200,000 yuan. ”

The denim man whistled, "Sounds good, maybe I can find a place to stay here." ”

"Do you know why I'm sitting here alone?" said the black man, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Because you can't find someone to play basketball with?" asked the denim man tentatively.

"yes, I can't find anyone, everyone is gone. There are no jobs, no opportunities, and no future here, and those who have the ability are gone, and only people like me who have no skills will stay. ”

"What did you do? Why didn't you leave?" asked the man in the denim suit, curious.

"I'm a basketball coach in this community, teaching basketball to kids in the community, but now, there's no one in the community anymore, and I'm unemployed.

If you look at these houses, they used to live in decent and good families, but now they are all cut off and no one wants them. You can go in and live without spending money, no one wants it anyway, and of course there is no water or electricity in it. ”

The black man sat on the base of the basketball hoop and said dejectedly.

"What about your city government here? They don't care?"

"The rich people are debating how to get the government to agree to the bankruptcy of the city so that they can get out of their debt crisis. How can I have time for such little things. ”

The teacher, Changming Taoist, suggested to Liu Shengyuan that he should put down the laboratory, walk the world with an open mind, experience the various states of the red world, and refine a Dao heart into a human heart.

Well, the old Taoist said that the head is the Tao, but as a result, what is the Taoist heart and what is the human heart can't be explained at all, and finally he simply came to the sentence 'Your realm is so high that it is no longer within the reach of the old Tao, this kind of experience left by the predecessors and real people, you still need to understand it yourself!'

Matters related to his own life, Liu Shengyuan has always been concerned, although he is not willing to throw away the experiments in the laboratory, but he has a doppelganger!

If Liu Shengyuan and himself made a doppelganger on Jinao Island, it would be more troublesome in terms of identity arrangement, but the British royal family came forward and arranged an inconspicuous identity for Liu Shengyuanhe's doppelganger, it would be nothing.

In the past two years, there have been hundreds of doppelgangers who have walked the world intermittently, which is much faster than him going to see the red dust world by himself.

The problem is, even if there are hundreds of doppelgangers scattered throughout the world, and there are countless tourist attractions, but what is the red dust refining heart, until now, Yanagi Yuanhe has no clue - he is a land immortal, and his heart is so determined, how can he change it by looking at the scenery and making some travel companions?

After consulting Mr. Changming again, Mr. Changming had no good way but to tell him, try to find a place to settle down, live like a normal person for a period of time, and stop visiting tourist attractions.

"Dietero, there are no job opportunities here, what do the rest of us live on?" asked Schef Owe, a doppelganger of Motokazu Yagyu, sitting next to a former black basketball coach.

The black basketball coach who was willing to talk to strangers was named Ditro Fein, and the neighborhood was originally made up of people who were not too wealthy, but barely middle-class, but with the recession and rising unemployment, people here either moved to cheaper places to live or went elsewhere to find work.

"What else can you rely on? The government will give out some food stamps, sometimes you can find some odd jobs, the house is taken away by the bank but you can't sell it, there are so many empty rooms here, you can find a random family to live in. But the most dangerous places here are the homeless and drug dealers, and if it's at night, don't turn on the lights – if they are. ”

"If it's so bad here, why don't you go somewhere else? Dieter can't be that bad in every area, right?" said Schef Owe, who took two bottles of water out of his denim bag and tossed one to the black coach.

"No, no, man, I'm going to teach you a common sense, in Dieter, you should never drink anything from strangers, we're just strangers!"

The black instructor took the water he had thrown at him, threw it back with his backhand, and then took a sip of a bottle from the back of his butt.

"Oh my God, you say that it makes me feel like I don't think it's a good idea to come to Dieter. ”

"It's not a good idea in the first place. The black coach tuged the bottle back behind him and muttered.

"I'm looking for a place to stay tonight, man, do you have any recommendations?"

"Do you have any money? Forget it, you don't look like a rich man, there is a house over there, it has just been abandoned for less than half a year, there should be nothing in it, but the house is still intact, and there are no homeless people living in it now, you can deal with it there tonight." ”

"By the way, do you know where to get some food?"

"It's about two kilometers from here, and there's a pizzeria where you can get something to eat. It's just that you have to be careful when you're a white person. ”

"Thanks, why don't I play with you?" Sherst gestured to an old basketball that had been placed next to the black coach.

"O——, man, you know what you're talking about, you're challenging a professional athlete!" said basketball, and the black coach suddenly came to his senses.

"Ha, come on, come on, it's not by mouth!" Schester laughed.

The Basketball Process – Omitted ——。

"Man, you're a good buddy! It's a waste for you not to play in the NBA. After fifteen minutes of play, Dietro Fein bent over, braced out of breath with his hands on his knees.

"Ha, those NBA scraps, I won't go if you invite me to go!"

"Man, you're better at bragging than you're at playing!"

"Hehe, I've got a lot more to do, okay man, I'm going to get something to eat." Scheste grabbed his backpack and prepared to go.

"Forget it, man, I'll go with you, and I can reduce your risk of being robbed by at least half. The black coach straightened up, thought for a moment, and said.

"Is there anyone else in this world who can rob me? I'm number one in the world—"

"No. 1 or what? braggart? I haven't seen you as poor as the No. 1 in the world, hahaha-"

After playing a game of basketball, the two men became acquainted, and Dietro Fein spoke much more casually.

"You're right! haha-"

The smile on Sherst's face was odd.

The character of this Yanagi Yuanhe's doppelganger, Sjoster Aowei, is an unambitious cowboy, and since Yanagi Yuanhe wants to experience life from this perspective, he naturally won't take out a lot of Citi coins to squander it.

And similar to Schester Aowei, the doppelgangers who play different roles and observe the world from different angles, Yanagi Yuanhe and many, many more.

"Well, in front of him is Lao Luosheng's shop, he is not a person to be messed with, we are safe when we enter his shop. ”

After a short journey, there is basically not a single piece of glass intact in the buildings on both sides, and there is no building without graffiti on it, of course, some of the graffiti is quite artistic.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a fairly intact restaurant, although the glass door on the left was still intact, but the glass door on the right had been replaced by a wooden plank, and the asymmetrical door looked a little nondescript

From the glass door on the left, you can also see a horizontal ** beauty pattern, of course, only the lower body, because the right glass door with the upper body has become a wooden board.

"Hey, Lao Luo Sheng, the new guest I brought you!"

"Come on, Dietero, the person you brought with you is not a poor ghost like you - ha, a white man, all right, okay, Dietero's friend is my friend, white or black, friend is friend, come, try Lao Luosheng's secret meat sauce pie. ”

There were only five people in the whole store, one of the fat black men who spoke was probably Lao Luosheng, the other was a female black man dressed in waiter clothes, and her figure was not inferior to that of Lao Luosheng, and the last three were probably the real customers, who were struggling with the pizza.

As soon as Sjöst and Dietro sat down, the fat waitress over there came over with pizza and some soup, presumably ready-made, and served quite quickly.

The money for this meal was paid for by Scherst, although he played the role of a poor man, but he really didn't take this money seriously, of course, when Citi was willing to pay for a meal with someone he had just met, it was already a rare hospitable generosity - of course, there was no other intention.

This also made Ditro and Lao Luo Sheng look at him with admiration.

After just a few bites, the door of the pizzeria was violently kicked open, fortunately it was the half of the wood that was kicked, otherwise it is estimated that the glass door will definitely be reimbursed.

"Pete, damn it, I've finally found you raised this bitch, if you don't hand over the goods today, I'll skin you!"

As soon as five young black men who didn't look like good people broke in, they each pulled out their pistols, scattered them into a semicircle, and surrounded a diner in the corner.

"Jamie, listen to me, I didn't fucking swallow that shit, I dare swear by my dead mom!"

The diner hurriedly put down his knife and fork, raised his hands to show that he had no intention of resisting, and swore an oath in his mouth.

"Fuck you, your mother is a bitch! You're raised by a bitch, I don't believe a fucking word of what you say, if you don't take out my goods today, I'll hang your shoes on the wire!"

(After Dieter's many gangsters kill people, they will tie the deceased's two shoes with shoelaces and throw them on the power lines to hang them, so in Dieter, if you see shoes hanging from the power lines on the side of the road, it means that there has been a homicide here.) ）

"Oh my God, for the sake of us all being members of the Bug Gang, Jamie, have mercy, your goods were taken by the Eagles and their gang, really! I swear, I didn't do it!"

"Fuck you, whoever believes you swear, fucking hell, one last chance, Pete. ”

"It's really not me—" said the young black man named Pete in despair.

"Die—Bah, Bah!"

Radioactive blood splattered on the wall, and the black man named Pete swayed, leaned back against the wall by the impact of the bullet, and lifted his hands weakly on the dining table, spilling the unfinished pizza on the floor.

He sat down feebly against the wall, unable to support his body, and slumped on the long chair against the wall, leaving a large blood stain on the back of the chair, which was not very clean.

"Shit, Jamie, you bastard, you're killing people in my store again!

Lao Luo Sheng scolded loudly while wiping the tableware in his hands.

The murder happened right in front of him, but neither Lao Luo Sheng nor the aunt-level waitress looked surprised.

"Fuck, Daddy Rason, isn't it hard to block this bastard, this bastard is more slippery than a catfish, if you let him slip, don't think about blocking him again. Daddy Rason, Aunt Ruth, this is the cleaning fee. ”

As he spoke, the young black man at the head took out a few banknotes from his pocket, about fifteen Citi coins, and handed them to the fat waitress.

"Don't call me Aunt Ruth, I'm only thirty-one-" The waitress complained loudly as she grabbed the banknote dissatisfied, and carried it in the pocket of her apron without looking at it.
