The four seasons go by, winter goes to spring and then spring turns to summer, and in the blink of an eye Los Angeles has entered the most beautiful time of the year, late spring and early summer, most of the city is shrouded in fragrant flowers, except for poor people with pollen allergies, almost all citizens are in a happier mood than other seasons, but Zhang Longchu is a special one.

After eating breakfast that day, he didn't seem to feel the refreshing breeze and the greenery in the community at all, and left the house thoughtfully across the strange object backpack, and was about to pull out his minimotorcycle, when he suddenly heard the clear female voice of Celia behind him, "Long Chu, the weather forecast is rainy today, I'll take you to school together." ”

The twin sisters of the Issadour family have already reached the age of 16, and after obtaining their driver's licenses in the last two months, their parents bought them two BMW Z4s in different colors, one red and one white, as a daily means of transportation.

If it is in another country, this is naturally a good thing for Zhang Longchu, who is not old enough to drive, which means that even if he no longer wants to waste time waiting for the school bus every day, he no longer has to ride his small motorcycle to and from school in the wind and sun.

It's a pity that in the United States, teenagers are very concerned about enjoying their independent time, so although Zhang Longchu and his two adoptive sisters are studying in the same middle school, whether they can take their cars to school depends entirely on the mood of the two sisters.

Fortunately, Zhang Longchu, who also advocates private living space, understands this kind of thing very well, not only will he not complain, but he will turn around and smile gratefully at Celia, and say for the sake of the other party: "Of course it would be good to be able to take your car."

But today is Friday, and according to the habit, aren't you going to go on a date after school in the afternoon, it's not good to delay time. ”

"I broke up with that McQuarie guy." Celia explained simply, expressionlessly.

"He's not your first love, and you've both been dating 2... Oh, I'm such an idiot, I'm sorry to say this, Celia," the smile on Zhang Longchu's face disappeared instantly, and he opened his arms seriously as an adult: "I just want to tell you, if you need comfort, please remember that my arms are open for you at any time;

If you're looking to teach someone a lesson, remember that your brother comes from Orange Street, one of the most chaotic neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and he may not look so strong, but he's actually more fierce than a jackal. ”

"Thank you, dear brother, although I need neither comfort nor a lecture for someone, thank you never." Hearing this, Celia's original face showed a look of pain and relief, and she opened her arms and hugged Zhang Longchu and said.

After that, the girl let go of her new brother and ran to the garage to pick up the car, while Zhang Longchu strolled to the side of the street and waited for Celia;

While thinking about the problem that he has been pondering for the past few months, how can he get in touch with a fresh corpse and devour his soul to complete the growth of a strange thing.

In a metropolis like Los Angeles, which is controlled by law and order, the place where the most dead people are naturally the intensive care unit or morgue of the hospital, and if the time is right, he can achieve his goal in one day.

But the conditions for working in the hospital are extremely harsh, not to mention the doctors who start from the university and have to go through almost 12 years of professional education to practice, even ordinary nurses need at least 3 or 4 years of professional education, and a teenager under the age of 16 goes to the hospital on Saturday and Sunday to do odd jobs, which is simply a fantasy in the United States.

If you don't work in a hospital, you can't have doctors and nurses on duty in the intensive care unit for nearly 24 hours;

As for the morgue, in order to prevent the theft and sale of human organs, there are professional security guards guarding it day and night, and Zhang Longchu can't enter it at all... I started thinking about it from the side of the road, until I got into Celia's car, and after two intersections, I still found nothing.

In the end, Zhang Longchu couldn't help but have a thought flashing in his mind, "If you really can't do it, go to Orange Street and kill a few drug dealers, robbers and other scum, swallow your soul and throw it into the sea."

Every year, every year, this kind of 'garbage' in the whole of Los Angeles doesn't know how many will die, and I secretly kill 3 or 4 more people is just adding a few unsolved cases, and the police won't pay attention to it at all, and the 'Federal Special Population Control Commission' will never care about this kind of..."

Thinking of this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his fists were unconsciously clenched slowly, but at this moment, suddenly Zhang Longchu turned his mind and realized that he was also a ** dealer not long ago;

The former adoptive father, Old Baker, was also forced to commit a crime of theft and robbery because of his life, and suddenly sobered up, "Zhang Longchu, you are really funny, you have just moved out of Orange Street for a few days, and you think that it is not a pity that the people on Orange Street are dead!" Others don't know them, don't you know, although most of the people living there are real villains, but who is born to want to be a drug dealer, robbery, and murderer!

What's more, haven't you already figured it out, you can't kill people because the growth of strange things needs to devour the soul is the bottom line of being a human being, and if you violate this bottom line, you will become a demon from a person..."

Celia, who was driving a car, was waiting for the red light when she accidentally saw Zhang Longchu's face change uncertainly, and asked with some concern: "Are you okay Long Chu, is there something uncomfortable, why is it such a strange expression?" ”

"I, uh, nothing uncomfortable, just didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little sleepy just now." Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders back to hide his senses, and asked casually: "By the way, Celia, do you know any part-time opportunities for hospice care, or you can do social services simply without a salary?" ”

"Wow, I'm going to be impressed with you, I really didn't expect you to be so service-minded," Celia said appreciatively: "However, 'hospice care' has been a kind of professional skill since the previous year, and without relevant medical qualifications, it is impossible for any institution to recruit you to engage in this kind of service."

Well, in this case, in the name of the Corryton Private High School Student Council, I am recently contacting the Los Angeles judicial system to organize some classmates to provide a kind of peer psychological support for juvenile delinquents who are serving prison sentences, which has a precedent in New York City, and has effectively prevented the recidivism rate of juvenile delinquents based on data analysis..."

"Come on, Celia, to be honest, when I lived on Orange Street a few months ago, I was only one step away from the juvenile court, and now it's a joke for me to go to prison to help those kinders," Zhang Longchu paused for a moment and said seriously, "And I also want to advise you not to do such stupid things again."

Many guys who commit criminal felonies and are imprisoned when they are minors are not normal people, they have thousands of reasons for committing crimes, and some may be worthy of sympathy, but villains are villains, and they are probably not able to get rid of them, and they will cause trouble. ”

"Oh, Long Chu, you are so cold, how can you call our peers who are not yet adults and only occasionally go the wrong way as villains." Hearing this, Celia frowned and criticized.

Knowing that she had always lived in the wealthy class and had never really come into contact with the dark side of Los Angeles, Zhang Longchu did not blame her for ignoring her kind reminders, smiled noncommittally, and did not make a sound.

After a while, it was Celia who hesitated, changed the subject, and spoke again: "Long Chu, I have noticed that you and Barbara's group have become very familiar with each other recently. ”

"Yes, they are very good," Celia's words brought back memories of exploring the 'Blue Whale Plane' during the winter vacation, Zhang Longchu shrugged and replied, "Brave, kind, adventurous, and a very interesting friend." ”

As soon as he made such an assessment, Celia pouted in a rare way: "Hmph, I don't see that these guys have so many advantages. ”

After staying in Corryton Private High School for a long time, Zhang Longchu already knew that Barbara and Celia, the two influential figures in the school, were not only colleagues in the student union, but also competitors all the time, and Barbara had the upper hand in all the previous encounters between the two by virtue of her wealthy family background better than Celia.

Therefore, when he heard this, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the corners of Zhang Longchu's slightly curled mouth, Celia, who was extremely strong, smart and capable, naturally guessed his thoughts, and an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in her heart, and she opened her mouth to say something but felt that she had nothing to say, and couldn't help but press the horn to vent the anger in her chest.

And since he met Celia, Zhang Longchu, who had never seen her such a childish side, couldn't help but feel even more funny when he heard the horn, and the strange smile on his face became more obvious.

Seeing Zhang Longchu's smile getting worse and stronger, Celia bit her lip angrily, racking her brains to teach her new brother who she didn't know a lesson, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Long Chu, are you bold?" ”

No matter whether a man is brave or weak, he will not take the initiative to admit that he is a coward, and Zhang Longchu is of course no exception, and immediately said: "Do you need to say this, Celia, I am a man who grew up on Orange Street." ”

"If you're brave enough, I've got a social service opportunity in mind, similar in nature to hospice care, only more thorough, and certainly more meaningful, and I can connect you if you're willing to do it." Celia said with a smile.

It was about the growth of strange things, Zhang Longchu opened his eyes wide, showed interest and asked, "Is it, what to do?" ”

"It's going to be kept secret," Celia replied deliberately with an appetite: "I don't know if the matter can be successful, after all, the more meaningful the social service position, the more people will compete, I hope it will surprise you then." ”

Although precocious, Zhang Longchu, who has never had a girlfriend and doesn't know how small a young girl's heart is once she gets angry, said with a smile when he heard this: "Really, then thank you, dear sister." ”

"Don't worry, dear brother, I will do my best to make your wish come true." Celia said as she drove into the campus of Corryton Private High School.
