Chapter 282: Divine Stone
Susan also had a lot of boyfriends, and sometimes she would ask for money from them, but more often than not, she would be beaten and scolded by those boyfriends and take money from her.
Susan often scolds Oliver, sometimes because she feels that he has made her life worse, and sometimes simply to vent her emotions. And Susan's boyfriends even treat Oliver as a slave, instructing him to run errands and beat him for fun.
Oliver is abused by Susan and her boyfriend, and is disliked and beaten by neighbors and strangers. Because Susan's boyfriends always don't give Oliver money or give him a little money, they let him buy cigarettes, alcohol and other food, Oliver can only steal in order to prevent being beaten, and eventually he becomes a street rat and everyone shouts and beats.
A week ago, Susan's current boyfriend, Anthony, went to a bar for a drink and met a brother who had been hanging out with before, and the two had a drink together after a long time of not seeing each other. The man had drunk a lot before Anthony came, so he didn't have much to drink with Anthony before he got drunk, and when he was drunk, he took out a black stone from his pocket and showed it to Anthony.
He had snatched the stone from a rich man who had just returned from a trip to India and got off the boat and went home, but the car broke down on the road. As the man passed by, the rich man called him to help. He helped the rich man fix his car, and when the rich man tipped him, he saw that the rich man had a lot of money in his wallet and became greedy.
He knocked the rich man unconscious, snatched the rich man's wallet, he had already wanted to leave, and found that there was a box in the car that was very delicately packaged, and he thought it was a diamond or other gemstone, so he opened it to see.
Then he saw this black stone, and he thought it was ugly and didn't want to take it, but when he saw the delicate packaging, he took the stone.
Anthony took a closer look at the stone, the surface was smooth, the inside seemed to be transparent, the black was like a mist, and there was a faint purple light inside. Maybe it's a rough stone that has diamonds in it, Anthony thought.
By this time Anthony's friend had fallen asleep on the table, and Anthony looked at him and at the stone, and took the stone and walked out of the bar.
He was thinking about how to sell the stone for money, and suddenly he remembered that there seemed to be a stone cutter where he was working in the orchard, so he went back to the orchard and found the stone cutter, and took out the stone to cut it. As a result, as soon as the stone was placed on it, the gears of the stone cutter were jumped off.
An old man came out when he heard the voice, and when he saw that Anthony had broken the stone cutter, he immediately scolded him. Anthony wasn't angry, this old man was a very good treasure connoisseur, and he was very good at gambling on rough stones. Anthony took out the stone and showed it to the old man, wanting the old man to help him identify whether there were any gems in it.
The old man touched it for a long time and looked at it for a long time, and then threw it to Anthony. To say that Anthony must have been deceived, first of all, this stone is very variegated, and even if there are gems in it, it cannot be valuable. Second, the stone is only the size of a baby's fist, and even if there are gems in it, it is not much bigger after removing the stone clothing. Thirdly, the material of this stone is very different, it is much harder than ordinary stones, this is not a naturally formed stone at all, it is a bit similar to a synthetic product, it is probably an industrial waste from a factory.
In short, in a word, this stone is worthless.
Anthony was so depressed when he heard this conclusion that he threw the stone to the ground and turned to leave, and the old man shouted, "Take your stone away, the boss will be angry when he sees this broken thing, and make people question his taste!"
At this point, Anthony was completely dead, knowing that this stone was really worthless. He was angry with the stones, and went back to the small house behind the villa on the hill to rest.
He had just laid down and was asleep when he heard Susan scolding his son loudly at the door, and the noise was so loud that he couldn't sleep, and he immediately rushed out of the room and slapped Susan. "What's the noise, your voice is as loud as a donkey every day, and you don't let people sleep! If you make any more noise, I'll beat you to death, do you hear?"
Susan was slapped in the face, and felt very aggrieved, smelling Anthony's mouth full of alcohol, and immediately shouted: "Are you going to drink again, and you didn't go to work today? What time do you go to bed? You use all the money you earn to drink, then you don't want to take money from me in the future!"
As soon as Anthony heard this, he immediately became angry, he raised his hand and another mouth, and Susan was not to be outdone and scuffled with him. Oliver, of course, couldn't let his mother suffer, and he rushed into the warband, biting Anthony the arm.
Anthony's hand hurt, and he shook Oliver to the ground with a flick of his hand, and when he saw that his arm had been bitten off, he immediately became angry, and took the stone from his bosom and smashed it on Oliver's head.
Blood flowed from Oliver's head, and Oliver held the bloodstained stone with his hand, looked at the two who were still fighting, and shouted strongly in his heart: "Why is this world filled with so much violence, how nice it would be for everyone to only smile!"
Miraculously happened, Oliver saw that the world seemed to stand still for a second after he uttered the words from the bottom of his heart, and then a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a loud bang that shook the ground.
Everyone was startled at first, and then Oliver saw Susan and Anthony's mouths suddenly curve in an eerie arc, and they let go of each other's hands and walked towards their room with stiff smiles. And the people around him who were watching the excitement also smiled and returned to their rooms.
Oliver's first reaction was very scared, he didn't know what was wrong with the world, but he subconsciously thought that he was in trouble again, and he took the stone and ran down the mountain.
He ran towards the city, and found that everywhere he went, all the people were visibly smiling, but they looked a little dull and stopped what they were doing. As a result, some cars braked in time and crashed, but the people in the car still smiled and didn't mind.
Oliver ran into the city, and the city became a city of smiles, but it was lifeless, most of the cars were parked on the side of the road, and people were walking aimlessly through the streets.
Oliver grew more and more panicked, and he wandered around the city, trying to find someone who was normal, but he couldn't find it. At this moment, he suddenly saw a car driving out of the underground garage, and he realized that there should be a normal person down there, so he ran towards the underground garage. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the car parked on the side of the road, and the people in the car were already smiling.
Oliver ditches the occupants of the car and runs towards the garage, warning the cars not to get out as he runs, and eventually he finds a few survivors in the garage who are not fully mutated, but they can't get out, and as soon as they get out, they will turn into smiling zombies.
