In the sound of dripping rain, Summer opened her eyes in a daze, curled up on the bed wrapped in the quilt, the fingers in the quilt moved slightly, the curtains were opened a gap, patches of rain came into view, and there were faint neon lights flickering under the rain in the distance.

Wrapped in a quilt in summer, I lay on the windowsill, looking through the blurred window, looking at the desolation and depression outside the window. Is this really New York City?

Even after three months of moving into this apartment, Summer still doesn't want to admit it. In the summer, New York is so bustling and lively, with rows of buildings, neon streets, high-end commercial buildings, and charming Times Square......

Compared to the pictures in the newspapers and on TV, this is a living hell. Dark, damp, dirty, messy. The security here is also very poor, and the gangsters in Manhattan are very famous in any world. In addition to those gang members, there are also many thieves and robbers and petty thieves here.

Praying for the safe return of my parents every summer is really heart-wrenching. Summer has expressed her desire to move out of here more than once. But it made the parents' mood even more depressed, just kept promises, vowing to give summer a good living environment. It also made the summer feel a little sad. He doesn't want to be a bear child who doesn't know what to do, he knows what his parents are working hard for, but life is so difficult, and he never wants to achieve good things.

"When will it be able to grow up, and how long will it take for such days." Summer muttered to himself, 5-year-old him, even if he showed a talent for special abilities, but in front of his parents, he was still an ignorant child.

......

"Ahh

A muffled sound, even through the sound of the rain, attracted the attention of Summer, who hurriedly looked down, only to see a black high-end off-road vehicle driving away, the wheels rolled up the water droplets accumulated on the ground, splashed on both sides, and quickly disappeared into the rain.

But there were two people lying on the ground, not moving, in strange poses, letting the rain soak their clothes, and slowly, a few wisps of bright red blood also flowed in the rain, and the raindrops washed the dirty street.

Summer's pupils shrank suddenly, and she opened the window and jumped straight down.

The height of the second floor is not too high, and with the ability to stumble in summer, it also allows summer to land safely, but the wrapped sheet has been soaked in the rain and stained with some silt.

The warm corpse on the ground had no breath of life, its wide eyes seemed to be still immersed in the last surprise before death, its long black hair was floating in the stagnant water, and its originally warm body slowly became cold.

"You must be ...... Joke with me...... "Summer's small palm wiped his face, but the cold water stains made him more sober, and the corpse that had just died at his feet was the mother who gently rubbed his face a few hours ago.

Summer suddenly gasped for breath, from beginning to end, he had forgotten to breathe, his body instinctively reminded him of the taste of suffocation, Summer knelt down softly, and his brain was blank.

"Child......" The faint voice in his ear woke Summer up suddenly, and hurriedly crawled to his father's side, "You... Used it...... Remember, hide your ...... Protect yourself ......"

Summer wanted to say something, but was covered by a big hand on his head, rubbed it vigorously, the action seemed to use up the man's last strength, the dark eyes slowly lost their brilliance, and the rough big hand also slipped from Summer's head, fell heavily on the cold ground, splashing a piece of rain.

Summer looked at the corpse in front of him in a daze, in the dark rainy night, the street was empty, the rain, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, in a flash of lightning and thunder, a figure rushed into the rain curtain, and picked up Summer's body......

I don't know how long it took, the sirens pierced the night sky, the red and blue lights shone on the dark streets, and the few remaining residents in the dilapidated apartments looked down one after another, their faces had a hint of other meaning besides shock. The people in the various rooms in the apartment looked at each other, and most of them saw a sense of crisis in each other's eyes.

When Summer came back to his senses, he was wrapped in a police coat at this time, and he smelled a strange smell in his nose, which was a unique smell of an old man, which was indescribable. Summer's face had a sweater-like touch, which let him know that he was in Amy's arms.

Summer looked up and saw Amy's withered face, with shriveled palms and not much flesh, and the knuckles of her fingers were bulging and rough, constantly stroking Summer's hair.

"It's okay, kid, it's okay, it's really okay." Amy, an elderly man in her 70s, kept comforting Summer, looking sad, but she had to stand up her spirits, which moved the hearts of the police officers on the side.

The pouring rain can't wash away the sins of Hell's Kitchen, but it can wash away the traces left by the accident. The blood-soaked streets were constantly being washed, and Summer saw her parents put on a hospital bed, covered with a white cloth, and pushed away from afar.

Next, the summer in a trance is already in a trance, and I can't remember much.

He just knew that he had lost a lot of things in that rainy night. It's not just the loss of parents.

Just three days later, Summer was sent to an orphanage. This is also due to the fact that this death case was hyped up by the media and attracted the attention of the society.

This is the second accidental death of an occupant of this apartment. It was only seven days before the first death.

Summer learns of the accident, which was that a young couple living in 303b were killed by robbers on their way home.

One was robbed to death, and the other was involved in a traffic accident. Two seemingly unrelated incidents, but the news media saw something with that vicious eye. The root of it all lies in this dilapidated apartment.

And Summer also learned for the first time in the news, it turned out that the apartment building where he lived had been bought by a wealthy businessman.

Just two months ago, the wealthy businessman took a plan to demolish the apartment and reuse the land. Most of the residents of the apartment have moved out. No one knows exactly how much compensation was received. They just moved away one by one.

And the Summer family, like Amy, is the last group of residents. Amy is old, she has lived here for more than 30 years, and she is reluctant to move out of her house. And why Summer's parents didn't choose to leave, Summer doesn't know.

From several news reports, it can be seen that it is the unreasonable compensation that caused the summer family to stay here. Those who moved out of the apartment should have left the apartment with a symbolic compensation and under various threats.

If you don't leave, it should be the end of the summer family.

The successive accidents of the stubborn residents of the apartment complex make people secretly speculate about the hidden stories behind them. It is precisely because of this that the summer was named and adopted by several orphanages, and the orphanages also need benefits, they also need to leave a good impression on people in society, and they also need fame and social donations. And the summer, which is in the middle of the news maelstrom, is exactly what they need.

Otherwise, in this very racist 90s, few people would care about a yellow-skinned orphan.
