"If we don't fight for ourselves, then who will come and help us!"

"Brothers and sisters, we should stand up and win a better future for our next generation!"

"What are you waiting for, are you willing to stay in this garbage dump like a place for the rest of your life?"

......

A crudely crude crate, a small megaphone with a tape grip attached, and a few decent banners, and a small propaganda station was built.

The young man stood on the side of the street, shouting hoarsely, and beside him, several companions in formal attire who were constantly handing out leaflets to passers-by.

Unfortunately, this is community 37.

They were active as if they were in another world, and the most eager response from passers-by was to politely take the leaflets, scrape off the sludge from the heels and edges of their shoes with hard corners, and shove them into the trash cans aside.

"Ahem~"

With a dry throat that made him cough sore, the young man finally left the crate, turned his back to the crowd, leaned against the door of the convenience store on the street, and poured water in a mouthful.

"Kevin, we still haven't been able to develop a member today...... This is pipa syrup, moisturizing the throat. ”

A round-faced girl in a rustic beige shirt with a ponytail crouched down beside him, handed over a bottle of drink, and whispered.

"This is normal, I knew from the beginning that the road we had to go was very difficult, and the people in the lower communities ignored us because they thought we couldn't succeed, and these people were actually capable. ”

Burying the depression deep in his heart, the young man named Kevin looked at the fuchsia afterglow that was about to die in the obscure sky in the distance, barely showed a smile, and raised his hand to the crowd on the street,

"As long as we unite them, we may have the opportunity to negotiate with the government, whether they succeed or not, they will improve the living conditions of the low-level communities to a certain extent in order to calm public opinion, and as long as there is a first time, our ideas will be accepted, and everything will be fine at that time!"

"Well, we're going to make it!"

The girl clearly trusted Kevin, and waved her fist, and several of her companions next to her turned around, smiling on their sweaty faces.

"Let's get here today, it's going to get dark soon, I know that everyone has part-time jobs in the evening, activities are activities, and life is the first thing to take care of. ”

Stuffed the megaphone in his backpack, said goodbye to everyone, opened his phone to check the time and the message from the store manager on "TALK".

Kevin actually has a job, working as a waiter at the tavern in Community 35, and he has to hurry back to change his clothes.

The drink in his hand was quickly drained because he was thirsty, and he walked around a corner, ready to throw the empty bottle in the trash.

His eyes subconsciously glanced at the mouth of the trash can, and the hand holding the empty bottle just stretched out, but stopped halfway.

Behind the dilapidated trash can lay a man.

Somewhat surprised, I walked around to see a man leaning against a trash can, his face flushed.

"Sir?"

shouted, but the other party did not answer, Kevin crouched down to confirm his condition, his fingers under his nose, and still felt a slight heat.

The man who looked like a drunk a second ago suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his hand and shouted, "Help me...... Help me!"

subconsciously wanted to break free from the other party's entanglement, but the strength of the person in front of him was beyond Kevin's imagination, and those two hands were like two iron tongs, restricting him to death.

"Hey, I can help you contact the hospital, can you let me go before then?"

Raising the phone and shaking it in front of the man, the stinging pain coming from his arm was unbearable.

Vomit~

Sudden retching, a dark red cloudy liquid just vomited out of the man's mouth.

Kevin was caught off guard and immediately suffered, and before he could react, his face was stupefied, and the pungent fishy smell filled his nasal cavities.

Normal people must fall into a state of sluggishness at the first time when they encounter this situation, and Kevin is no exception.

By the time he reacted, the man in front of him had already struggled to get up and ran towards the alley on the other side, and at this time, he was naturally not in the mood to catch up again, and all he wanted was to quickly find a place to clean up the dirt on his face.

Fortunately, this is not a remote place, there is a shop behind me, rushed in and asked where the toilet was, ran inside, locked the door and began to wash my face.

Holding on to the sink with both hands, he turned his face sideways and put his head under the water column, the cold water washing his cheeks, holding back the discomfort until the pungent smell dissipated.

The corners are mirrored by a wide yellow-brown tape glued to the wall, reflecting the young man's cheeks.

Two blood stains hung from the nostrils and dripped on the edge of the washstand, blooming several blood flowers!

"Why is the water too cold?"

Holding his head high to stop the nosebleeds from continuing to flow down, he brought the backpack in front of him, took out a pack of tissues from the right compartment, and crumpled it into two paper rolls to plug his nostrils.

My throat suddenly itched.

Ahem!

A cough that is particularly loud.

The young man's expression turned pale, as he saw the mirror full of blood, which was dripping down the smooth mirror to the edge of the sink, and then gradually sliding into it, in the shape of scattered blood.

It's like a big net, grabbing his heart......

"Fighting for the rights and interests of the people at the bottom, unity is strength?"

A voice rang out behind him, and he turned his head busily, and Kevin saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, holding a flyer from their hand.

It should have been that he had just rushed in and left him outside.

Kevin noticed a pair of gloves in his left hand, dripping with dark red liquid.

"Young man, your ideals are very good, I admire you. ”

The middle-aged man shook the leaflet casually, and looked at Kevin's eyes full of approval,

"A few years ago, I didn't think much like you...... We were in a much better situation than you are now, the march was going well, everyone was united, victory was close at hand, it was a good feeling, and if I could, I would like to stay there for the rest of my life. ”

As if thinking of his past, the middle-aged man's face was full of reminiscence.

There was not the slightest sense of intimacy in Kevin's eyes, and all he was thinking about now was how to get out of here.

The dark red blood in the sink was so glaring!

I kept moving to the door of the toilet, took a few steps to the door, raised my hand to cover the lower half of my face, and turned sideways to squeeze through.

"I thought you'd be wondering how we failed at the time, and that would give you a lot of experience, wouldn't it?"

"I'm sorry, I'd love to have a long talk with you, but there are some special circumstances that I have to leave first. ”

As he spoke, he stepped away from the middle-aged man and walked towards the door of the shop without stopping.

However, before he could take a few steps, his legs could no longer move, his eyes widened, and his arms holding the backpack were repeatedly tightened due to excessive tension.

The last few wisps of fuchsia of the setting sun fell on the gloomy shops.

Lying on the floor lay the shopkeeper and the "drunkard" he had just seen outside, his limbs twisted in a strange state.

The dark red blood that kept spilling from beneath the two bodies glowed with a disgusting color.

Ahem!

Covering his mouth, the feeling of nausea caused his stomach to twitch, Kevin half-bowed and subconsciously covered his mouth.

"If you want to succeed, you have to have sacrifices, this is very important, if you want others to know your determination, you can never succeed by talking about it, you have to show the attitude you deserve...... That's my attitude, what do you think?"

Putting on his gloves again, the middle-aged man looked at the frightened and overwhelmed young man, stepped forward to pat his back, and said softly,

"Imagine what it would be like if you were on the street outside, and those people would ignore you as they did just now, no, they would be terrified and in awe of your abilities. ”

Kevin disagrees with the claims of this sudden murderer and is disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

But at the same time, his mind was falling into some kind of strange trance.

Weakly kneeling on the ground, in the haze, some whispers came from all directions.

After a while, the sound sounded from his body again.

The colors in front of me became more and more intense, like a cloud of paint muddled in water, chaotic and disorderly.

"Use your brains and think again, if such a scene appears everywhere in the low-level community, who can ignore what is happening here?"

"Everybody will see your determination, whether it's a passerby on the outside, or someone who claims to be a new human and is full of evil desires inside. ”

"At that point, your opinion will not be ignored and you will be respected from all. ”

The middle-aged man's voice was like a demon's whisper, constantly destroying the will of the young man, whose spirit was already close to collapse at this time.

"What the hell do you want!"

Kevin gritted his teeth, his forehead bruised, and blushed and questioned the person behind him.

"I just want you to join us, as I said earlier, I appreciate young people like you, and I and my companions are doing something that needs fresh blood like you. ”

The middle-aged man half-squatted in front of Kevin, his hands on his knees, and his voice was not hurried,

"As long as you are willing to help me, you will find that everything is different, relax, don't you feel that your persistence is very fortunate?"

"I ...... I promised to join you, can you take me to the hospital first?"

Kevin needed the doctor's help more than he struggled with whether or not to join the other party, and the only reason he had left prompted him to compromise with the person in front of him.

"So you agree?"

He seemed to care a lot about Kevin's attitude.

"Yes, I agreed, we are companions now, you should take me to the hospital!"

At this time, Kevin didn't care so much.

"Why did you go to the hospital?"

The middle-aged man's tone was very confused.

"I feel dizzy and something is wrong with my body......"

"Don't worry, this is just a small test for you to join us, just get through it. ”

Getting the answer he wanted, the middle-aged man patted Kevin's shoulder, as if he suddenly thought of something, and glanced at the "drunkard" corpse next to him,

"Now that you've agreed to join us, I have a mission here that will be easy for you, and you have to do it, to be exact. ”

"What?"

"As you'll find out later, this 'knowing' process takes about one to two hours. ”

When the words fell, the middle-aged man turned around and walked to the door of the shop, closed the sliding door at the same time, picked up the iron hook leaning against the corner of the wall, and prepared to pull down the iron roller shutter door on the outside.

"If you want to succeed, someone has to sacrifice, that's true, the only pity is that I don't want to sacrifice yet, so ah..... You promised to help me before, but now you can't regret it!"
