Chapter 1: Sacrificing one's life for righteousness and being abandoned, the corpse sinks into the lake and is reborn
My name is Lin Qingchen, and I used to be a serious game special effects artist for a game company.
However, just because the special effects I designed could not achieve the effect that satisfied the boss, I was forcibly fired.
Without a job, there is no income.
In order to have a suitable job, I have been sending my resume to major companies for a whole year.
kept interviewing, kept hitting a wall, but never got a chance to be hired.
"It's all fate......"
I walked down the suburban road in discouragement, dragging the green bottle of beer in my right hand and pouring it into my mouth.
I probably drank a little bit of it recently, swaying, and in a trance, I suddenly remembered a poem I learned in school when I was a child, and I read it in a depressed voice.
"The bell and drum are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time......"
I subconsciously stretched out my hands, only to find that my purse was already empty.
I couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
It turns out that the bell and drum are not expensive enough, but I want to get drunk for a long time...... Without money, it is also impossible.
I have no money, no job, so that I can't even afford to rent a one-square-meter utility warehouse in this bustling city.
I never imagined that after twenty-one years of my life, one day I would fall into this desolate state where I have to be covered by heaven and bed by earth.
Fang was still clear and clear, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered by clouds.
A light rain fell from the sky, as cold as this unforgiving world.
I hurriedly found the bottom of an arched bridge, dragged my luggage, and hid in alone.
Fang took out a dry suit from his bag and was about to change into it, but he heard a woman's sharp exclamation not far away.
"Save ...... Help......"
Hearing someone shouting for help, I was busy poking my head out from under the bridge curiously, but I saw that not far away, there were several middle-aged reckless men with crooked melons and cracked dates, who were circling around a young girl.
"Little Girl......"
"This is a suburb, even if you scream at your throat, no one will come to save you."
They sneered, you and I rubbed oil on the girl.
Suddenly, a rough man had a whimsical idea and grinned.
"Little girl, haven't you been thirsty after screaming for so long?"
"Why don't you ask your brothers for a drink? It's free, I don't charge you money, as long as you keep your brothers happy......"
The poor little girl, as if frightened by them, took two steps back, but stumbled into the arms of another rascal.
The rascal seemed to be a little brother, and he looked at the buriest rascal, grinned, and tied the girl's behind her with one hand, unable to move.
And the burly rascal, bowing his head slightly with great pleasure, then pinched the girl's chin, forced her to raise her head, and poured the wine he had not finished drinking down the girl's mouth.
Crystal clear wine flowed down the corners of the girl's mouth, wetting her clothes.
At this time, she had not noticed me under the bridge, even though her position was not too close to me, but I could see the endless despair in her eyes that seemed to be ashes.
I couldn't stand by and watch, I couldn't imagine how miserable this flower-aged girl would be if I left it alone, so I couldn't help but take a sip of wine, and I took a glass bottle and rushed towards the group of hooligans with a shout.
"You scoundrels, stop me!"
I don't know if I was too fast, or if they were too slow, but I had already run behind the hooligan leader, and I shook him with a bottle on the back of the head.
Red blood poured out of his head.
Only then did he notice the pain, touched the back of his head with his backhand, and was very angry when he saw that he had touched the blood on his hand.
"Stinky boy, you dare to hit me......"
He spat ungracefully, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he yelled at his little brothers who were just angry.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
When the leader saw his other brothers looking at each other, he couldn't help but get angry, and when he raised his foot, he found one of them and kicked him in the ass.
"What else to look at...... Hit him! ”
After receiving the order, the group of ruffians came to their senses, shouted and rushed over, and you punched me and kicked me.
Xu was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and I suddenly regretted it in my heart.
"I haven't learned kung fu, but I still learn how to be a hero......"
I began to secretly laugh at my own stupidity.
However, this road ...... I think I chose it myself.
If she didn't save her, she would ...... You're going to die, right?
The ruffian boss standing on the side changed his hand to cover his head, looked at the blood on his right hand quite distressedly, and blew his beard and stared at him directly.
His eyes were cold, and he always felt that he was just bruised and swollen by the big nose, and it was still too cheap for me, so he also ran over and kicked me a few times to relieve his anger.
"It seems that I have been sitting in the office for a long time, and my body has been raised to be soft and weak."
For the first time, I felt so untouched.
He just kicked me to the ground rather casually, and Nokia, which I had been carrying in my pocket, fell out with it.
When I heard the sound, I saw him look down in confusion and glance at my phone with disgust.
"What age is it, and you still use old-fashioned 'brick' mobile phones."
The gangster sneered, kicked my phone into the lake, and then grabbed me by the collar and sneered.
"A poor ghost also learns from other people's heroes, and he doesn't look at how many catties and taels he has......"
Immediately, he spat on my face again, and then grabbed me by the collar and walked towards the lake.
At this time, I was already beaten and almost fainted, and I struggled to open half of my eyes, but I saw the girl covering her mouth in shock, and running away in chaos.
"It's good to be ...... gone"
I curled the corners of my mouth slightly with self-deprecation.
I want to laugh, at least I've been a good person, life for life, at least the girl is safe.
However, this secret smile involved the wounds on my face, and I grinned in pain.
The ruffian grabbed me by the collar and dragged a bloody path along the blue Marseille lake, then sank my head into the water on the edge of the lake and kicked my head with his foot.
"Labor and management make you a hero!"
"I'll take another look!"
In this way, he kicked me for most of the day, and finally, shouting that he wanted to sacrifice me to Qu Yuan, he ordered someone to throw me into the lake.
I felt my body sink inch by inch.
The hungry fish smelled blood and swam towards me in droves, biting at my flesh inch by inch.
"Is this the end of my life?"
"Just to save someone I don't know, and put my own life on the line?"
The pain from my body cleared my mind.
I watched my phone sink as it sank with the light above me.
It's cheap, but it's the only thing I have at the moment, and I reach out to grab it and take it back into my hands.
But the endless darkness at the bottom of the lake seemed to freeze, peel off, and drain the little hope left in my broken body, and I couldn't move, and I couldn't lift any strength.
In a trance, I seemed to feel that time had passed for a long, long time, and I waited for a long, long time, but I didn't see the phone smash heavily into my arms.
Finally, the last vestiges of life were completely exhausted by the cold water, and I closed my eyes tiredly.
"If there is an afterlife......
I think.
If there is an afterlife, I wish I didn't have the kindness of this bodhisattva.
I don't want to be that bad guy anymore, even if it's a bad guy...... As long as I survive, I don't care.
