Volume 1 The Ivory Tower Chapter 7 Suicide and First Encounter

Suicide and first encounter

Divine power seeds, a specialty of the new era. A new energy system implanted in mammals. Divine power depends on it for its existence. Since it is called a seed, its growth stage is similar to that of a plant. It is divided into five stages: sleeping, germinating, growing, flowering and fruiting. The corresponding colors are gray, white, green, red and gold...

……

A week went by in the blink of an eye. In these seven days, Li Zhi walked around the trading area, eating, drinking and having fun everywhere. Now he has his own understanding of the trading area.

During the week, Li Zhi witnessed two so-called 'mutant madness' incidents.

The first time was when he was in a hot pot restaurant, luxuriously eating hot pot while listening to the waiter singing. A rugged man at the next table suddenly fell to the ground, causing everyone to stop talking, fearing that there was a problem with the ingredients in the store. As a result, after an emergency rescue by a manager for more than half an hour, the big man got up and began to go crazy! On the way out in a hurry, Li Zhi took the time to look back and remember the magical scene. The big man was babbling gibberish with his hands raised, and above him, the dining table floated high in the air!

And the second time was more thrilling, which happened in the hotel where Li Zhi lived. It was dusk, and Li Zhi returned to the hotel after a day of debauchery. is sitting on the sofa in the hall, chatting with Tingting while drinking tasteless rice porridge. At this time, a guest arrived, a young man who looked slightly older than Li Zhi. It was normal for the guy and Tingting to talk very well at first, and after the rent was determined, the guy happily paid Shenjing. Then, the problem began. That guy actually took the initiative to ask Tingting for service! Tingting didn't look surprised, but silently glanced at Li Zhi not far away and expressed her refusal. Now that guy won't be happy! Talking nonsense about what a friend introduced, Tingting obviously has this business but doesn't accept it, is it looking down on him or something. Tingting, who heard the guy so ink, showed a pungent personality, and despised the guy with a small and flexible tongue that the guy was bleeding and smoking on the top of his head. Next, it came to the link that shocked Li Zhi. That guy rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, and stood up again in an instant when Li Zhi and Tingting were still in a state of confusion! But the guy who stood up was different from just now, his eyes were only white, as if he was sleepwalking with his eyes open! Without waiting for Tingting to speak, the guy kicked out directly, his left leg was deep in the counter, and the solid wood counter was easily passed through like a paper shell! After Tingting saw this scene, she frowned. She raised her right hand and pushed at the guy, and a transparent bubble suddenly appeared, and grew larger and larger until the guy was completely encased. In the end, the big bubble took the guy to pass by the jaw-dropping Li Zhi and jumped out of the hotel. Li Zhi clearly saw that the guy was rolling happily in the bubble...

This is the general situation of the two 'mutant madmen', and the outcome of the incident must be the violent handling of the order manager of the base. Just settle it, regardless of compensation...

For Li Zhi, the first thing was okay, he didn't feel deeply. But the second thing really shocked him, Li Zhi didn't expect Tingting to be a divine power! But on second thought, he was quickly relieved. Because it is impossible for an ordinary girl to open a hotel in the trading area alone......

In addition, Li Zhi was fortunate to be robbed twice this week, both on his way back to the hotel after dark. The first time he was robbed, four gray crystals were robbed, and the second time because Li Zhi took precautions, he only lost one gray crystal. Li Zhi also tried to report to the patrol, but of course the result was not successful.

In fact, Li Zhi is already very lucky, after all, he is so weak that he has not lost his life in the trading area for seven days.

Every day in the trading area there are dead people, and new people also come. People here work in a variety of jobs. Here, if you have enough crystals, then you will have a wonderful day...

All in all, the trading area is a chaotic and orderly, ugly and beautiful place.

The sun is setting, and the sunset is all over the sky. Li Zhi, who had been exercising vigorously all day, said goodbye to Tingting completely.

In fact, Tingting thinks that happy things are really ordinary in Li Zhi's opinion. Because he doesn't feel anything ... What he really got from the sport was probably a sense of spiritual conquest. And what Tingting got in addition to Bai Jing, there must be physical pleasure. Because of the little pleasure, Li Zhi's time was very, very long......

Li Zhi walked on the streets where there were fewer and fewer people, occasionally shaking his figure. There are no crutches in his hands, the prosthetic limbs made by the iron bull are very good, and under the cover of shoes and trousers, Li Zhi looks no different from ordinary people.

Li Zhi walked towards his destination while admiring the sunset, and there was only one white crystal left in his pocket.

"Don't run! You didn't give money! Grass! Don't run away! Two figures rushed past Li Zhi one after another, leaving behind a man's angry shout.

Li Zhimu did not squint, and only the building in the distance was in his eyes. It's the tallest building in the base.,It seems that you can find the leader of the base.。。。

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, and Li Zhi, who was looking at the building and hurrying, now understands the horse's mood very well. After walking for more than half an hour, Li Zhi finally came to the front of the building.

"Magnificent Core District Supervisor Building" with a plaque hanging next to the imposing revolving glass door.

Li Zhi glanced at the guards by the door, and silently turned his head to leave. Out of the guard's field of vision, he began to circle the building.

After only a few dozen steps, Li Zhi found a small door. Looking around, he sneakily got into it...

Slipping into the building, Li Zhi looked up at the stairs above that could not be seen at a glance, and suddenly realized that this should be a safe passage or something.

After climbing two floors, he stopped. "There should be an elevator in such a tall building, right? It's so tiring to climb to the top floor! "It's a matter of course, after all, very few people like to climb stairs, especially those that are endless...

Li Zhi quietly approached the door of the floor, first put his ear on the door, and did not hear a sound. Then he secretly pushed open a crack in the door to make sure that no one was around. With a dodge, Li Zhi slipped into the main hall.

"This, it's so easy to find~" After carefully closing the door of the safe passage, Li Zhi found the elevator next to him...

Li Zhi pressed the elevator unusually nervously, it seems that his luck today is not bad, the elevator just stopped on this floor.

The elevator door closed slowly, and the closed environment gave Li Zhi a sense of security. "Whew~ Relax! Just relax! There's no sign here, it's okay! And I don't need to be afraid of anything now, do I? He exhaled slowly, soothing himself against the elevator door.

"Heh~" laughed at himself, Li Zhi found that he hadn't pressed the floor button yet.

He was just about to press the button on the top floor, but the elevator suddenly started to climb!

Li Zhi's pupils contracted instantly, someone! The closed environment that had just given Li Zhi a sense of security had now become a cage that trapped him. Li Zhifang clicked the buttons of the other floors, but the elevator went straight up as if it was broken, and it didn't stop at any of the floors he pressed...

"Di~" The elevator slowly stopped on the 9th floor, accompanied by a prompt sound, and the elevator doors slowly separated.

"Huh? Are you going up or down? A pair of big watery eyes appeared in front of Li Zhi. The owner of the eyes is an unusually beautiful girl who looks not much different from Li Zhi's age. Long silky black hair draped over her shoulders, simple white short sleeves and cropped jeans give the girl a youthful vibe.

"Uh~me, up." Li Zhi looked at the girl blankly, not knowing what to do.

"Then you go up first, I'll go downstairs." The girl smiled sweetly at Li Zhitian.

"Good! Thank you. Li Zhiru was pardoned and hurriedly closed the elevator door. He pressed the top button heavily, slowly breathing a sigh of relief.

After a minute, the elevator didn't move. Li Zhi looked at the top button that had been pressed and didn't know why. He didn't believe in evil, and he pressed the button on the next floor again, and then, the elevator door slowly opened...

"Aren't you going up?" The girl winked at Li Zhi.

"I... This elevator seems to be broken... "The girl is very beautiful, and Li Zhi is very embarrassed.

"You don't have a pass, do you? The elevator and most of the doors require a passcard to use! The girl put her head into the elevator and looked at it, answering Li Zhi's doubts.

"Huh!? Profound! Thanks, I see. Li Zhixiao's face flushed, and he gave way to the elevator in a little panic and plunged into the safe passage.

"Hey! I can swipe your card for you! Feed! What do you run? The girl's voice grew farther and farther away.

"No wonder it was so easy to get in, it turns out that the security of this building depends on this... The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that he was too stupid, and he could only turn his shame into motivation and climb the stairs panting.

Ten minutes later, the stairs finally came to an end in Li Zhi's eyes.

"Whew~But, Whew~ It's counted~Whew~" Li Zhi, who climbed to the top floor with his prosthetic legs, panted and opened the door to the rooftop.

"What a mess! This ash, cough~" The rooftop is covered with dust and rusty pipes, and there are some large iron boxes that do not know the function.

Li Zhi raised his head and looked for the sunset. "Here. That's it! He slowly approached the western edge of the rooftop.

"Well, the view is not bad." Li Zhi looked into the distance, and most of the base shone in the sunset.

He took a deep breath and slowly climbed up the fence on the edge of the rooftop. "Wow! It's so high! Li Zhi's heart began to beat faster. Hmm~ It feels pretty good. It seems that I don't have a fear of heights or anything like that.,But,Heh~ It doesn't matter.。。。 With a self-deprecating smile, Li Zhi calmly looked straight ahead.

Then, he closed his eyes and opened his arms, as if to embrace the poignant sunset in front of him...

Time seemed to stand still, and Li Zhi remained in this position in a daze. In his mind, two thoughts were in full swing.

One said, jump! Just jump and you don't have to think about anything. You don't need to worry about your disability, you don't need to worry about your future, and you don't need to put up with your weakness.

The other said, Stop! Climb down! Everything will be fine, as long as you work hard while waiting, time will bring everything you need.

You shut up! Time won't give you what you want! Time will only make you old and old until death rots! As for the effort? What effort do you take? Sell yourself?

You should shut up! Life is precious, how can you give up so easily?! 15 years old, an age of endless possibilities. Think about your parents, will they want you to give up your life?

Tangled, fearful, sad, unwilling, cowardly, longing, confused...... The chaotic emotions filled Li Zhi, and he froze there, unable to distinguish between heaven and hell...

"Well, what are you doing?" The sudden sound frightened Li Zhi and almost fell straight down!

Li Zhi turned his head cautiously, and the eyes were a delicate face. It's the girl who just got on the elevator! Li Zhi was embarrassed and hurriedly jumped off the wall. "You, why are you here?"

"Hello, my name is Miao Qingyin, you don't want to jump off the building, right?" Miao Qingyin blinked her big watery eyes and asked knowingly.

"Uh~ Hello, my name is Li Zhi. I... Well, I was getting ready to jump. Li Zhi was a little embarrassed.

"Why? Is it bad to be alive? Miao Qingyin expressed her doubts.

“。。。 Why are you here? Aren't you going downstairs? Li Zhi didn't want to open up to strangers, so he directly changed the topic.

"Huh? That's because you're so suspicious! I thought you were the bad guy for the invasion. Seeing that the elevator button you pressed was the top floor, I followed... Miao Qingyin's face was slightly red, and then she glared at Li Zhi.

"Okay. Now that you've figured it out, can you save the last time to myself? Li Zhi gave an eviction order.

"Do you have to jump? Why? Miao Qingyin frowned.

"We, hmm~ are you very familiar?" Li Zhi's implication is very obvious.

Miao Qingyin didn't know how to speak, and after thinking slightly, she showed a bright smile at Li Zhi. "Okay, for the sake of you being so handsome, it's cheaper for you~"

Li Zhi couldn't understand what Miao Qingyin was talking about, and while he was still thinking, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by Miao Qingyin.

"Ugh! What are you doing! Not... Li Zhi's complaining words were only half said.

Li Zhi, who came back to his senses, lay straight on the ground, with only the sky in front of him and countless question marks in his mind.

"You've kissed me now, we should be acquainted, right? In exchange, now can you tell me why you want to die? Miao Qingyin sat next to Li Zhi and smiled mischievously...

"I kiss you?! Alas~ I don't understand why you did this. Forget it, whatever... Li Zhi didn't have a good impression of Miao Qingyin because of her fragrant kiss, he was wondering if he should tell the other party that he didn't feel anything...

After a moment of silence, Li Zhi looked at Miao Qingyin's big eyes and slowly spoke. "I don't know why or why I live ... My parents are both dead, and even if I wake up naturally, there is a high probability that I will become crazy and crippled. Is that enough to satisfy your curiosity? ”

"What~ That's all? There are many people like you on the street, and there are many people who are worse than you. They're all alive! You're still so handsome, they didn't commit suicide, why did you kill yourself? It doesn't make sense! Miao Qingyin raised her eyebrows, as if she was incredulous about Li Zhi's reason for committing suicide.

"Heh~ They didn't commit suicide, why should I commit suicide? Good question. Hahahaha~" Li Zhi laughed at himself at first, and then laughed wildly.

Miao Qingyin watched Li Zhi roll on the ground with laughter, and couldn't understand what he said was funny. "Hey! You're sick! Feed! Don't laugh! ”

"Hahaha~cough~ha~!" Li Zhi didn't seem to hear it, but it intensified. Not only did he cough with laughter, but he also trembled all over.

Miao Qingyin stood up and looked down at Li Zhi. There was a deep meaning in her eyes, and her red lips opened slightly.

"The petals in the painting are very bright"

"Delusion freezes the time of flow"

“......”

On the rooftop, a gentle and sad song sounded, abruptly interjecting into hoarse laughter.

"The stories in the book are exaggerated"

"Trying to tamper with the unchanging appearance"

“......”

Accompanied by the singing, a faint sound wave appeared from Miao Qingyin's mouth. Circle after circle, gradually surrounding the entire rooftop.

The beautiful sunset filled the sky, reflecting the equally beautiful Miao Qingyin. She stood straight, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was tenderness in her eyes...

Li Zhi couldn't laugh, he looked up at the sky, and the vast sky was more than half covered by Miao Qingyin's head. Listening to the girl's young and ethereal voice, feeling the hope and sadness in the song, Li Zhi involuntarily closed his eyelids. A teardrop slipped down his cheek......
