During the exchange, Xiao Pingguo, as an orphan, was surprised to find that Zou Nan had almost no emotion for his parents.

And Zou Nan told the friend standing in front of him very bluntly:

"It is better to have a tragic family than to be an orphan......"

Zou Nan told Xiao Pingguo that before he entered this building, he ---- no, it should have been before he met Nicole to save him from the darkness of death, in fact, he had already been like ashes, and he had already been a walking corpse.

Before meeting Nicole, he was a day-to-day worker with no ID card in a bustling city in the south.

In addition to eating instant noodles and sleeping, he spends almost 24 hours a day in Internet cafes, except, of course, the day or two when he runs out of money and goes to the labor market to work as a temporary worker.

When he was young, his ID card was sold, and the money from the sale once allowed him to spend more than a month at the Internet café and the street lady on the corner.

Although Xiao Pingguo had seen three religions and nine streams in a bar at a young age, it was the first time for a young man like Zou Nan to deal with him.

When asked about the darkest moment in his life, Zou Nanyun calmly told him that he had an accident while working at a construction site, and he was dying after being carried to the hospital.

The contractor was still conscientious, and left him 10,000 yuan for medical expenses before leaving, but all this was useless, and he still couldn't escape the fate of being abandoned in the hospital corridor and left unattended......

"I had a strange feeling that I could realize that I had died......"

Zou Nan looked at Xiao Pingguo and said.

"Yes, for my memory, death seems to be just a deep sleep, that's about it."

Xiao Pingguo responded to Zou Nan's feelings.

"Then I dreamed of Nicole, of course at first I didn't know what the name of this beautiful young lady was, I said that I felt so relaxed now, and when I asked her what her name was, I saw the young lady crying at me......"

"yes, as far as I know, Nicole is often emotional when she is alone with us, but then she calms down a lot......"

Xiao Pingguo also calmly echoed his friend.

"She has seen so much of our suffering, so a person's will must be strong enough to remain unmoved. By the way, do you have an impression of your parents? I still have no memory of my parents, and Nicole told me that even if she searched the depths of my mind, she didn't form a clear image......"

At this time, Xiao Pingguo said to his companion with a wry smile.

"I was impressed with my parents and sister, but I would rather forget about it...... My mother and sister left me when I was very young, and my father died early...... For as long as I can remember, the family is not a happy place, the communication between parents is full of violence, whenever my father is drunk and beats my mother, the only thing I can do is to take my sister to the window and shout for help to the neighbor, so that the neighbor may come and pull the parents away......"

Zou Nan explained in a light tone to his friend who was looking at him with wide eyes.

"And then?"

"Then the mother disappeared with her sister in one winter. The morning I woke up from bed, I had a hundred dollars and a note with crooked letters telling me that my mother had left the house with my sister and another man......"

"Why didn't I take you with me?"

"I don't know, I was in the fifth grade of elementary school at that time...... The powerlessness of abandonment, the feeling of heartbreak, despair, and the uncertainty of the future are probably best known to me.

After a few moments, that fear turned to extreme anger, and I tore up the note on the spot, including the hundred dollars. Although I have rarely touched a banknote of that denomination, I have never actually owned it. ”

"And then?"

Xiao Pingguo's eyes were a little red, and he asked softly.

“…… My father's alcoholism was even worse...... The scars on my body barely healed...... One day, he drank too much again, and I locked the door of the inner room in fear and turned him away, it seemed that his center of gravity was unstable after drinking, and I heard the man fall on the concrete floor with a thud when he went to the toilet, and he was silent until dawn.

In the morning, I opened the door and saw this scene when I was half asleep, I ran to my neighbor's house, and then the neighbor called for an ambulance......"

"And then?"

"I just remember the doctor telling me and my neighbors outside the emergency room that the patient was even ...... If it had been sent an hour earlier, this life might have been saved, but now, there is no way to return to heaven......"

"I don't think you're going to be sad......"

Xiao Pingguo said to Zou Nan, who looked gloomy, when he heard this.

"Yes...... In the middle of the night, I knew my father was lying outside the door, but I would never open the door to save him......"

Zou Nan looked at Xiao Pingguo fixedly:

"Am I a demon?"

"This world has always been full of demons, and the devil has long been in our hearts, and it is our life experiences that give the devil the opportunity to perform......"

……

Zou Nan raised his head to look at Xiao Pingguo and took off his headphones.

"Brainwave communication began ......"

Xiao Pingguo whispered, and then shook his head in Anna's direction, Zou Nan reacted and put on a pair of white earplugs that had been stuck on the collar of his clothes like Xiao Pingguo.

After a few moments, he felt a flood of image information rush into his mind, and an inexplicable feeling of dizziness hit him, almost making him unsteady on his feet.

However, it was only a matter of seconds, and his brain quickly adapted to the vertigo and began to receive information consciously......

By this time, the excited people in the cave had overcome the discomfort of vertigo, and a three-dimensional image of light appeared before their eyes—a three-dimensional perspective of a five-story frame building.

The image slowly rotates in front of everyone's eyes so that the viewer can view the building from all angles.

At this time, Anna's voice appeared:

"Guys, this is the building you're currently in. Because the exterior bricks are painted in ochre, one of you used to name it 'The Red Mansion', which we thought was good, so we borrowed the name now.

This building is part of the Planar Marker Project, and you will complete the Planar Journey with this building.

In the New World, this building will be your first home, your ultimate refuge in a strange world, and the starting point for all your undertakings in the New World as you regain your life.

The Red House is located on the gentle slope of the southwest side of Mornington Island, which is the commanding height of the whole island, the whole building sits west and faces east, and the west and north sides of the building face the largest river on the island.

Strictly speaking, Nicole gave it a name, Moon River, a beautiful name, right?

Now, let me give you a brief overview of the interior of the building, which, as you can see, is a simple five-storey building, each consisting of thirty-six standard rooms, a central main staircase, a straight internal corridor, a secondary staircase at each end of the corridor, and two small balconies at the end of the corridor that are fully enclosed by bulletproof glass windows.

With the exception of some standard rooms on the first and fifth floors, which have been merged into large rooms, all the interior structures of the rest of the rooms are the same - as you can see, these standard rooms have bathrooms, just like hotel rooms.

But there is no kitchen in the room, the facilities inside are nothing more than beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, sofas, coffee tables, mirrors, electric lights, electric fans, etc., there are no relatively complex household appliances such as air conditioning, and of course, there is no TV and Internet, all of them are ordinary home living facilities, which look like a simple hotel, right?

In fact, we are referring to the ordinary hotels of this era before building this building, please don't complain why not give you more luxurious buildings and internal living facilities, because the energy required to travel through different time and space is not infinite, so there is a limit to the materials that can be brought over, we hope to bring you more strategically important materials in the past, so your dormitory can only be a little more simple......"

Anna paused at this point and added:

"However, these living facilities should also belong to the luxury version of the new world in the seventeenth century......"
