Chapter 229: The Burning Ash Bird
Ren Wu patted his head with a smile, as if he was stroking a big cat.
"Great gift...... What is this madman going to do again. On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man with two golden thorns on his shoulders had a gloomy face.
After thinking about it, he picked up the landline again and dialed another private number.
Leaving the car, Ren Wu went to another place.
Although he didn't stay in that place for long, there were two people there who meant special to him.
The walls outside the old house were crawling with creepers.
The threshold of the doorway was covered with dust.
The old house was cold and empty, without a trace of life.
Ren Wu felt as if he had been pricked by a needle in his heart, and it hurt. It's the remnants of Dumb's instinctive consciousness.
Pushing the door in, the room was empty, and it seemed that it had been searched more than once.
Ren Wu came to the room, and there was a family photo hanging on the wall of the living room.
On the left is an elderly couple, on the right is a young couple, and in the middle stands a sunny and smiling little boy with white teeth and eyes full of happiness.
"A family portrait...... Record that beautiful moment, but you can't keep it. Ren Wu couldn't help but sigh.
Following the memory, Ren Wu came to the study.
But the study was empty, and all the useful things had been turned over, and only a few useless books remained.
When you come to the bedroom, the folded quilt is placed at the head of the bed, and the pillows are placed under the quilt, as if the people in the room still live here.
It's just that a thick layer of ash has already accumulated on the quilt and bed, and I don't know how long no one has lived there.
This is Dumb's home, not Ren Wu's.
But Ren Wu stood in the room for three hours.
He vaguely felt as if there was a little crying in the depths of the soul of this body.
The familiar surroundings seemed to wake him up briefly.
He hid in the depths of his soul, hiding from everyone, including Ren Wu. He is like a thick can that hides himself in it.
......
The sound of the tide echoes in my ears.
The coastline of Nangri City is beaten by the waves.
The seabirds hovering in the sky today are a little irritable.
Uneasily, hovering in the sky and making a piercing chirp.
A large black shadow blanketed the sky at some point.
The huge bird's belly seemed to have been cut open by a scalpel, and Sen Sen's ribs were entangled in plastic bags, which fluttered in the wind.
Broken fishing nets, representing death, hang in mid-air from the spine and down the hollow belly.
The empty eyes were full of confusion and numbness.
Black feathers slowly fell from it like burnt ashes.
"Ahem...... "People in the city who come into contact with the ashes can't help but bend down and cough violently.
They only felt that their throats were burning hot, as if they were being burned dry.
Burning Ash Bird - A bird that has died due to human waste pollutants, prefers to stretch out in the sun, and does not possess physical objects but can be observed by the naked eye. The ash bird is emitting a substance called ash from its body all the time, the ash does not possess physical objects, can pass through walls, can only be touched by humans and integrated into the body, the person who absorbs the ash will cough violently and feel a burning pain in the throat, and when the pain is felt to the limit, it will ...... Burn thoroughly.
"What a spectacular scene. Ren Wu had already boarded the cruise ship leaving the Tide Country, and standing by the railing of the cruise ship, he quietly looked at the city at the end of the horizon in the distance and the [Burning Ash Bird] above the city.
The huge black translucent giant bird covered the entire city with the sun, and the sunlight seemed to be swallowed by it.
A faint curtain of ash shrouded the small border town.
In a trance, the gray curtain seemed to turn into billowing smoke.
Ren Wu's eyes were deep.
After inquiring, he learned that the original grandparents had died a year earlier.
But in this year, the original body got the news that his grandparents were still there, and the institute also regularly showed him the videos recorded by his grandparents, and the background was his home, so he never doubted it.
Now that I think about it, there are too many flaws.
It can only be said that Dumb is too naΓ―ve and young.
Dumb is thirteen years old this year, not yet an adult, and cannot start a family independently.
Now all the guardians are gone.
Strictly speaking, he can only go to the security department to report his account and fill out the form to send himself to the orphanage......
It is a very cruel thing to send yourself to an orphanage.
Pity...... Ren Wu is not a dumb.
Nor will he send himself to an orphanage.
The ship was an international cruise ship, and the destination was the White Mountain Empire, the largest country on the eastern continent of the world.
The White Mountain Empire was an imperial state, where two distinct attributes, feudal and emerging, fused together in the same country to form a unique system.
The cruise ship stops at Sea City, New Territories, of the White Mountain Empire.
Sea City in the New Territories is one of the top cities in the White Mountain Empire and one of the top cities in the world.
The huge harbor is brightly lit, and there is no difference between day and night for Sea City in the New Territories.
With a melodious whistle, the large cruise ship slowly docked.
"It's here!"
"Finally home. β
"It's time to get to your destination. β
The railings on both sides of the cruise ship are full of people with large bags and small suitcases. protect
The cruise ship approached slowly, with a long ladder on the deck extending to the shore, commanded and maintained by staff and security personnel.
Empty-handed, Ren Wu disembarked from the cruise ship.
Looking at the prosperity in front of him, Ren Wu narrowed his eyes.
smiled meaningfully.
Sea City in the New Territories is best known for gambling.
The casinos here are world-class.
Drunk gold fans, bustling and noisy.
There is no night in the city.
Come to the city streets, which are brightly lit and vehicles shuttle.
There was not much darkness visible on the surface, and everything was obscured by the glorious gold plating.
Ren Wu arrived at one of the city's busiest hotels.
"Deluxe room 5888 for one night sir. The front desk said with a smile.
Ren Wu touched his pocket and took out a stack of loose bills from inside.
In the shocked gaze of the front desk, in the exclamation of the other guests next to him who took a deep breath.
Ren Wu counted out stacks of thick coins and put them on the front desk.
Thicker than the palm of your hand.
Because it is not a new coin, it is very high......
It only takes a second to go from shock to contempt.
Who are these people?
The guest next to him shouted in his heart.
Of course, the people who can come here are at least at a certain level of economy.
Even the standard rooms are in the thousands.
Thousands of room rates are not very expensive, and many people can't afford to spend it.
But if it is just a night's sleep, it is enough to make many people feel distressed.
The girl at the front desk picked up the change on the table very responsibly and counted them one by one.
The inventory was completed in a few minutes.
"Sir, please show your ID. β
Ren Wu handed her someone else's ID card that was casually on the way.
The girl at the front desk looked at the bald middle-aged man on the ID card, and then looked up at the handsome young man about thirteen years old opposite.
The air fell silent.
"Sir. ...... on ID card
"That's who I am. Ren Wu interrupted her and added a little hypnotic technique.
"Okay......
