No, it shouldn't be like that...... Beverly looked bitterly at her feet: In that case, I would only have the lifespan of a mortal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info won't live that long. But if we talk about the time before that......

...... What will happen? The children in the orphanage will begin to enter society when they grow up. In that case, Beverly had a hard time believing that the trajectory of her life would change.

If you just do it all over again, you may not be able to meet the owner. Don't do that in that case.

It's better to say......

Children in orphanages don't have to enter society when they grow up.

It's that it's already in it after birth.

What's more, it is still the darkest and coldest layer of society.

Murder, stealing, prostitution, drug trafficking, fighting for food...... That's the kind of vocabulary that floods the slums.

Every day people die, and every day new bodies are exposed to the streets. The streets smell of alcohol and decay, and when it rains heavily, the streets that have fallen into disrepair are covered with mud and rot.

A little older, almost 10 years old, and no one cares about it anymore wants to survive? There are basically two ways.

Be a thief or go to be a prostitute. The latter must be female.

There are poor children everywhere that no one wants, and no one will be so kind to take them in.

You can only rely on yourself. Survive...... That's all that matters.

Then, as if she didn't want Beverly to be immersed in a sad atmosphere, the scene in front of her silently began to reorganize. They morphed into the shape of a shack, and two ragged children were huddled and shivering in it.

It was Beverly and another boy who came out of the orphanage together.

The shack I lived in when I was a child...... Beverly's eyes darkened, and she looked at herself in silence: little Beverly looked like she was about to freeze to death, and was shivering in the shack wrapped in a rag that she had picked up from nowhere.

The boy was trying to make a fire, but his movements were too clumsy.

"Brother Rom, I'm so hungry......" Little Beverly said weakly, sobbing.

"Bear with me, Beverly. The boy known as Roma clutched his stomach and seemed to be hungry as well: "Ocalante will be back in a moment, and he will definitely bring food." ”

Ocarante, the eight-year-old boy. Only three years older than Beverly.

Little Beverly whimpered, and seemed to be patient. However, how can a small child stop being hungry.

"......" Beverly stretched out her hand in a daze, but it was also touched.

Looking at myself as skinny as I was, Beverly gasped: it was strange that she wasn't dead.

It seemed that it was the middle of winter. In the scene where the memory is recreated, the same gray snowflakes continue to fall. Snowflakes fell on Beverly, but they didn't bring a hint of coolness.

It's like fragile dust foam.

Soon, O'Carante's form was built in the distance, slowly moving in front of Beverly. Little Beverly stopped crying and shrank back to look at her eldest brother with anticipation.

"I'm sorry, I still haven't found anything to eat. Ocarante looked ashamed and approached Beverly and hugged her, "I'll figure it out...... Hold on, Beverly. ”

Little Beverly looked like she was about to cry, but she remained silent. Ocarante looked to be the thinnest of the three, swaying with every step.

"Take my place. Although there was not much blood on his cheeks, Rohm insisted on standing up: "I'll go...... Get something to eat. Ocarant, you take a break. ”

"I tried begging, but it didn't work. Ocarante lowered his eyes: "...... No one wants to give some money. The streets are full of beggars as small as ours. ”

Children who freeze to death are really everywhere on the streets. Sometimes there is nothing to eat, and some people who are so hungry that they even eat the corpses of their companions.

............

Really, it's not cruelty, it's just normal.

I don't have to eat, what can I do.

In fact, there are other ways to get food. That is the giving of the church. From time to time, the church would give food to the poor, and for this reason, it was generally respected. The church in the slums is naturally the two official religions of the Eurasian dynasty: the Cult of Light and Shadow and the Celestial Wing.

However, the amount of food that the church gives out is really limited. So a little food is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for a large number of hungry people. Many people have been moving from church headquarters and branches to the slums without a bite to eat for a day.

However, for the destitute poor, this is the last hope for survival after all. In any case, there are some positive effects.

For the unbelievably large capital of the Eurasian dynasty, the sky city of Ellandi, with several cities inside and out, the slums were just as big, even the size of some cities. The Eurasian dynasty had tried to completely transform the slums, but found it too expensive to help them.

Even the slums had to be sealed off to prevent the influx of refugees into civilian areas, leading to political instability. And the official involvement has also drawn resentment from many people: groups that have developed roots in the slums, for example.

Various thieves' guilds, assassin organizations, drug traffickers, and mafia......

Truth be told, the mafia actually has some role. They are able to maintain law and order.

Now that I think about it, maybe Beverly's orphanage was burned down because she didn't have the money to pay for protection.

For the most benevolent mafia, if they fail to pay their protection fees for more than three months, they will get into big trouble.

Therefore, in the end, the dynasty adopted the attitude of providing jobs to the slums from time to time, helping some of the refugees to escape from the sea of misery. This is usually a laborer, enlistment or something like that. It's hard work, but for many slum dwellers, it's a dream job: after all, the world outside the slums is better than this dirty place.

The moon must be round outside—and it turns out. It's a pity that people who come out of the slums will inevitably be discriminated against by many people.

Naturally, I want to get something to eat...... There must be other ways.

Such as stealing.

The children of the slums are thieves - this is a common perception among outsiders.

To be honest, it's not a big deal. The children have all stolen more or less.

There are many children who survive by stealing, and many children who are beaten to death by sticks for stealing.

It doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is to get something to eat when you're hungry. In this process, the consequences of a theft and moral condemnation are not a problem.
