Chapter 3: Warmth in a Desperate Situation

Li Mo likes to sleep, which allows him to relieve the fatigue of working at night, and more importantly, in his dreams, he can see his beloved Angel, who will snuggle up to his shoulder, her soft hair brushing his face, and the fragrance on his body makes him intoxicated.

There is nothing more wonderful in life than this.

The easiest happiness in life is also daydreaming.

Even when he woke up, Li Mo was still intoxicated by the scene in the dream, walked to the washing rack with a happy face, took a handful of water from the basin, washed away the sleepiness on his face, and felt good to arrange his hair in front of the half mirror embedded in the shelf.

What was reflected in the mirror was an unfamiliar face, and Sen stared at him coldly and gloomily.

The gaze is cold and bewitching.

Li Mo screamed, and was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Because of fear, the blood of the whole body poured into the heart, the adrenaline soared, and the thinking stopped running.

Who's that?

Why is it in the mirror?

He was stiff against the weak wooden wall, his heart pounding, and he didn't even dare to look at the shelf. It took about four or five minutes to make sure that nothing bad or supernatural had happened, and then he calmed down from his panic.

The excessive fright made Li Mo's hands and feet cold, and his back was soaked in cold sweat.

When he calmed down, he vaguely felt that the gloomy face in the mirror was actually a little familiar.

Li Mo stared at the mirror and pondered for a moment, then suddenly made a bold move, walked back to the washing shelf, and looked directly at the broken lens.

The mirror reflected a pale and emaciated face, with short hair and sword eyebrows, a high nose, but a numb expression and a gloomy gaze. He saw this face every day, because it was his.

So, what about that guy just now?

Is it a delusion?

Li Mo closed his eyes, trying to remember the appearance of the person just now, his face was pale and thin, his short hair and sword eyebrows, and his nose was high, his appearance was very similar to him, the only difference was his eyes.

It was a pair of pitch-black eyes, no whites, and black pupils took up the entire eyeball, like a bottomless abyss sucking all the light into it. These eyes are neither happy nor sad, neither angry nor threatening, as if they do not carry any emotion, and they seem to merge all the emotions in the world.

On the pitch-black pupils, there is a reflection of a five-star light outlined by a white line - an inverted five-star light. Its periphery is a large and a small circle, and the inverted five-star mangs are just inside the small circle. Between the large and small circles, there are five simple symbols, corresponding to the five corners of the inverted five stars.

In the inverted five-star mang, it seems that the image of some kind of creature is outlined in lines.

Bang Dang!

Li Mo's face was paler than paper, and he accidentally pushed the washing rack to it.

"Inverted five-star mang...... Pour five stars......" He shuddered as he recalled what Naroba had said in the morning.

Could it be that what that guy said is true?

Or maybe it's just that he thinks about it day and dreams at night, and what he just saw is just an illusion.

When!when!when!when!when!when!when!when!

When Li Mo was shocked, the city bell suddenly rang seven times.

When he heard this, his heart trembled, and he noticed that it was seven o'clock in the evening, and there was only half an hour left before the time to go to work.

Being late for work is not as simple as writing a fine for writing an inspection, the light penalty is to say goodbye to half a month's salary, and the focus will be on the unemployed, the only thing that the city does not lack is people who need to work.

Li Mo's residence is more than twenty minutes away from the factory, and if nothing else, he just caught up.

Compared with a stable job, the death announcement is less frightening.

When greater fears come, an easy move can sweep away some of the insignificant worries.

Pour this kind of thing, and talk to Naroba tomorrow.

Li Mo hurriedly got dressed, hung up his badge, and rushed out of the room. After buying double portions of compressed dry food from the energetic Aunt Cui Di downstairs, he hurried to the factory.

Work is like a charming, obsessive bitch, on the one hand, you are viscerally disgusted with her indulgence and affection, and on the other hand, you are willing to be at the mercy of it, and gradually lose yourself.

When Li Mo was eight years old, he unexpectedly met his first job, a strange stranger Jean sat outside a villa every day and begged, telling him when the villa owner went out and came home, and a month later, the villa owner died in a car accident, and after he got a small sum of money, he also declared unemployed.

Later, he worked as a doorman for old Chandler's brothel for more than a year, and when he learned that the old man wanted to him and wanted to stun him and sell him to a regular customer, he attacked old Chandler with a machete and was unprepared. He managed to cut Chandler's nose in half, and was beaten to death by the old guy's men and thrown into the garbage heap.

Winter is the season that the residents of Black Mist City fear the most. Poor and airy houses, thin clothes, and compressed dry food that can never fill the stomach make the cold winter a nightmare for most of the poor.

The old guy didn't kill Li Mo on the spot, largely because he thought that he wouldn't survive that winter with his legs broken and ribs broken.

He wanted Li Mo to die slowly and painfully.

But Li Mo woke up from his coma and skillfully found something in the garbage heap to put in his mouth, including an unlucky mouse, and survived the night with great difficulty.

The next morning, it was still dark, and the winter sun pale in the face of heavy lead clouds. Li Mo lay weakly on the garbage heap, his limbs were cold, and even the blood on his body was coagulated, unwilling to accept the fate of imminent death.

But just as he gave up hope, a dazzling sun suddenly rose in front of him, and a golden, dreamlike warm light shone on his body, thawing his cold body and his soul sinking into hell together.

"Uncle, there's a little boy here, he's still alive. ”

That was the first time Li Mo and Angel met.

He will never forget the sight of that moment, although he had never seen what the sun looked like, but at that time, he clearly saw a sun that radiated warmth and hope, rising in front of him, so charming, so holy, dispelling the darkness and cold that enveloped him.

And the appearance of the sun is that pure, kind and merciful blonde girl - Angel.

Since then, he has become Angel's faithful and crazy crush.

......

Li Mo has worked in the Casas automobile production workshop for seven years, and is considered an older employee, relying on his old friendship with the workshop supervisor, he has a relatively easy job, even so, after a night of work, he is tired and weak.

But this situation will be alleviated in an instant after the shift is handed over the next morning.

After getting off work in the morning, Li Mo received a compressed dry food from the logistics restaurant, left the factory, and went straight to St. Mary's Church. His purpose was to talk to Naroba about the downfall of the five stars.

And the church district is the jurisdiction of Naroba, and he can definitely be found there.

Passing by the northern end of Bekan Street again, a large number of bodies dumped yesterday have disappeared.

The Dominators only use them as a warning to intimidate other rebels, not to cause cholera. So they will be publicized for two days at most, and then thrown directly into the incinerator.

Every once in a while, there are rebels, robbers and thieves, and some unlucky people who violate the authority of the dominators.

Passing by the Founder Sculpture, seven Founder Sculptures with different figures and expressions are forever wide-eyed, paying attention to the changes in Black Mist City. With a smile in their eyes and a curl of their mouths, they looked kindly at the deception, betrayal, killing, and greed that was taking place in the city.

This is a city that they built according to their ideals, but they don't know if they are moving forward according to their ideals.

Perhaps, they had long expected Black Mist City to become like this.

Perhaps, this is the real purpose of their city.

Limer would stop here every day because Cole Sr. would spend most of his time napping against the pedestal of the sculpture, frowning and grimacing at him like a child.

Such a scenario will never happen again.

In a trance, Li Mo saw old Cole again, he was standing, leaning against the pedestal of the sculpture, looking at him quietly, his eyes full of worry.

Goodbye, my friend.

Li Mo smiled slightly, waved his hand at the old Cole in his heart, and walked past the empty founder sculpture below.

Death is an unavoidable topic in a person's life.

No matter what mindset you have about your choice to face it, it always comes inadvertently.

People can't stop death from taking the lives of their relatives and friends, the only thing they can do is to let them live forever in their hearts and become the driving force for their own growth and progress.

The area where St. Mary's Church is located is called the 5th District of the South of the City, and there is only one district administrator, but there are also institutions and personnel such as inspections, arrests, courts, and adjudication committees, and Naroba's daily job is to collect feedback and feedback from these departments.

He spends his days around the church, monitoring the voices of the locals.

Li Mo first reported to the church and met Angel, who was taking care of several newly adopted abandoned babies. Li Mo skillfully cooperated with her to place the crying baby and washed a few basins of dirty clothes.

The church has no stable source of income, the nuns also have to work, and all the money they earn will be given to the church, and the faithful will also donate some materials, which are not only used by the church personnel, but also used to help the poor free of charge.

Angel has several jobs a day, and doing laundry is one of them.

Usually, Li Mo would finish the next work with her before noon. When the two were together, most of them were Angel talking, and Li Mo was listening, his eyes swept over the heart-warming beautiful face intentionally or unintentionally.

Angel would give Li Mo a lecture on doctrines, stories about the Lord, and incredible myths.

Sometimes the two of them will also talk about things of interest.

"Lee, what's the furthest you've been?"

"I think it's a place in the north of the city called the Verus Tower. ”

"When did you go, I never saw you leave here. ”

"When I was very young, I loved to go around and see things that were new and never seen before. ”

"Is Seongbei the same as us?"

"Well, it's different, the environment is relatively better, and there are beautiful flower beds, which are different from our garden here, where there are not only green grass, trees, but also colorful flowers. Although I looked at it, I will never forget it in my life. It's so beautiful. ”

"Why don't you stay there?"

"Haha, that's the area where the Dominators live, and I was driven away as soon as I got there. ”

"Hehe, a flower without sunlight, even if it can bloom, has no fragrance. ”

"I don't know, we don't even have flowers, so how can we care about the fragrance of flowers. ”

Whenever the topic came to this, Angel would smile slightly, and there was an elusive look in Li Mo's eyes, like sadness, and as if she was missing something.

Li Mo didn't want Angel to show such a look, he had a very bad feeling, one day Angel would leave him, it should be related to this smile.

So he rarely talks about this kind of topic anymore.
