Chapter 39: Odd
After letting my grandmother stay at home with peace of mind, Harunosa and I prepared to go out and walk around to familiarize ourselves with our surroundings.
"What did you do just now, how did the old hen recover, obviously she couldn't wake up." Sakura pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of what the reason was, so she asked me.
"That's nothing, I just used some energy as soon as my head was hot, and the old hen woke up." I said this, after all, I couldn't tell her that it was the dark energy that absorbed the virus.
"It's amazing!" Sakura said with a little surprise.
"There's a lot of people here." I saw residents coming in and out of this alley.
"No, even small houses in big cities are full of people, not to mention that some places are occupied by mutants, and people's housing problems are even more tense." Sakura said, holding her head high. "That's why we're stigmata to eradicate mutants."
We walked out of the alley and onto the street, although there were not many pedestrians on the road, everyone was full of smiles, not moved by the appearance of mutants in the S area, and there was an endless stream of vehicles coming and going.
Sure enough, they were all walking, I sighed in my heart, and there was another man standing on the automatic walking machine passing by us, with only two wheels spinning underneath. I suddenly felt like we were walking like this and it exploded.
Another man and woman walked towards us, and I seemed to see a black mass above their heads.
I shook my head, wondering if I had misunderstood, and turned my head again to look at the heads of the man and woman, and there was something dark somewhere, and at the moment, they were flirting.
I felt that the environment around me seemed to be different from what it had just been, and a ferocious-looking mutant flying bird suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was no longer possible to see its original appearance.
Then, there were flying birds in twos and threes, until there were more and more, the original blue sky had been shrouded in dense mutant flying birds, and the light from the sun became very sparse, and the sky was already black and oppressive.
I was dumbfounded as I watched the sudden changes in front of me, could it be that the mutants had invaded on a large scale?
"Sakura, look at this ......," I asked, a little panicked, to Sakura.
But I found that there was no pedestrian on the road, and the street that was still lively just now seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no figure!
I stood helpless alone, and I alone could not save the current situation.
"This is the future change, you seem to be afraid." Finally a voice came out of my head.
"What did you do?" I tried to calm myself down and asked out loud.
"It's nothing, it just lets you see the future trend of the world." The voice continued. "Humanity, and all living things in this world, will eventually perish." After speaking, it seemed like a sigh.
"Then I, even if I can't stop it, as long as I'm there, I won't let them pass me. Unless they walk past my corpse, I'll fight them forever. I clenched my fists and said categorically.
"That's a bit of a problem, I said, if you die, I'm going to perish with this weapon." The voice said helplessly. "I thought you were going to go to other planets in outer space in the spaceship you developed."
"No, it won't." I firmly stated that my ancestors had lived in Blue Star for generations, and I would never leave this dear homeland. "We will live and die with the Blue Star." I suddenly realized that since becoming a stigmata, my words and actions have been very different from before. Maybe it's more mature, I thought to myself.
The sky suddenly returned to a blue color, no longer a black oppression, and the sun's warmth sprinkled all over my body.
"Lori? Lori? Harunosa seemed to be anxious and shouted.
"Uh...... What's wrong? "I finally realized that Sakura kept calling me.
"What are you doing, you've been staring at others for several minutes." Sakura said with some dissatisfaction.
"Huh?" I followed my own perspective and looked at a couple sitting in a public chair in front of me, and I seemed to be staring at them for a long time, I immediately turned my head with a red face, and turned away with the spring cherry blossoms.
"You shouldn't be envious." Sakura stared at me with wide eyes and curiosity.
"Cut, I think it's good to be a person, so I won't be envious." I said nonchalantly.
"Then you're still staring at other people......" Sakura muttered quietly.
The two of us walked aimlessly and walked to a shopping mall. I touched my pocket and smiled awkwardly. Since the school of stigmata, money has been an external thing, and it is only when I return to real life that I realize the importance of money again.
"Now, do you remember the bracelet you got out of school? You can pay with that. Sakurakami said mysteriously, pointing to the bracelets we were wearing.
"Then get in." I pushed Sakura into the mall, and I hadn't really enjoyed shopping for a long time.
As soon as we entered the mall, most of the items on the first floor were filled with jewelry and other things, and we walked around and found that in the corner of the mall, there was a child followed by an adult.
Normally, people think it's normal, but I saw that the adult seemed to nod at the child, and the adult addressed the child with honorifics.
But it has nothing to do with us, I found a jadeite ring on the side that looks like it's 10 carats. I looked at the price mark, 2.99 million!
But this did not affect me from asking the waiter to show it to me, and the waiter happily held the 10-carat jade ring.
I took the ring, looked left and right, and didn't see any tricks...... I saw that this jade was crystal clear, green and shiny, and it looked like it was made of water.
Xiao Li finally poked her head out of my pocket and whispered to me: "Master, this jade is 90% pure, and if you buy it for 2.99 million, it will be a lot of money." ”
"This customer, I don't know if this jade ring is still satisfied?" The waitress said with a smile on her face.
"Hmm...... It's just a little expensive. "To be honest, I'm a little moved, it's not that I want to wear it, but I want to buy it for my grandmother as a gift.
When the waiter heard this, he also felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but say, "This customer, please wait a moment, I'll ask our manager to see if it can be cheaper." ”
I nodded, and continued to play with the emerald ring on my own.
Sakura stood aside and looked at me with some puzzlement, this kind of jade ring is usually worn by the elderly. "At such a young age, why do you buy a ring?"
"Shh I saw the waiter leading a chubby middle-aged man over, and hurriedly signaled to be quieter.
"This lady, the rings and jewelry in our store are genuine, and the price is also fair, if you are interested in this jade ring, we can sell it at a reduced price." The chubby middle-aged man said with a smile.
I had a black line on my face, obviously I was going to buy a ring, and the middle-aged man actually spoke to the spring cherry blossoms.
Sakura smiled awkwardly, and sure enough, it was different when she looked mature, "Well, I like the ring very much, this luster and texture are impeccable." Sakura seemed to be a veteran of the jewelry industry, touched her chin and said slowly.
The middle-aged man felt as if he had a chance, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I don't know that since the mutant appeared in the world, very few people have bought these gold and silver jewelry, so we are almost poor and can't afford to eat, if the lady likes it, I will sell it to you for 20,000 yuan." ”
When Sakura and I heard this, our jaws were about to drop, this verdant jade ring should be worth at least hundreds of thousands even for people who don't know the goods, and this middle-aged man actually dropped to 20,000 yuan in one breath. It seems that the number of people who buy these jewels is indeed much rarer.
"That's the deal!" Sakura and I said in unison.
"Okay, pack this lady." The middle-aged man said to the waiter.
Sakura reached for the bracelet on her wrist, and I saw that the bracelet looked like a miniature smartphone with many functions. I saw Sakura tinkering for a while, and a barcode-like thing was displayed, and the middle-aged man took the machine and swept the barcode, and with a 'drop' sound, the payment was successful.
"Welcome to the next visit!" The middle-aged man took the beautifully packed ring box, put it in a bag, and handed it to Haruno Sakura.
The two of us were in high spirits and were about to leave when suddenly there was a commotion of noise.
