Chapter 11: Awakening

District 9, Guanglin Tower.

The neon-lit streets are washed by the heavier and heavier rain, and although it is only a few hundred meters away from the dark suburbs, the night here is particularly lively.

Hawkers pushing carts peddled protein bars to the "refugees" rushing into the inner city, and the already closed pharmacies lit up signs to entertain the long queues in front of the shops.

There were even a few girls who sold spring to comfort the frightened people softly, and when they chatted, they led them into the narrow alley next to them.

And Jiang Yang, who finally entered the inner city, was only halfway through explaining to Jing Xuan, and he had to use his mechanical arm to crush his whole body under him.

"You let Lao Tzu go, Lao Tzu is going to save him!"

Jing Xuan's eyes were red and he struggled, completely ignoring the fact that he was already covered in mud, and the faint sound of gunfire from the suburbs made him anxious.

"You calm down...... it! ”

Jiang Yang's words of dissuasion were only halfway through, and Ao Wu, who had just woken up, bit his buttocks.

"Don't make a fuss! I'll go with you when it's dawn! Now that the IPC has blocked the inner city, we can't get out at all! ”

Jiang Yang's roar made Jing Xuan gradually give up struggling, he silently pushed Jiang Yang away, got up and dragged the dog off his ass, hugged him in his arms, sat in the corner, and fell into deep self-blame.

If he could be stronger, Lin Chuan would not have risked himself alone to save him, and in three months, Lin Chuan would have been able to report to the ideal university, he should have had a bright life......

Jiang Yang bought two protein bars from the vendor, sat next to Jing Xuan, and handed him one, coincidentally, that one was strawberry-flavored.

Jing Xuan raised his head numbly and took the protein bar, and asked with red eyes:

"Why save us?"

Lin Chuan also asked the same question, but he didn't have time to explain at the time. Actually, I can't figure it out myself, I never wanted to be a good person, good people can only be bullied in the ninth district, but unfortunately I'm not bad enough. ”

Jiang Yang laughed a little self-deprecatingly, unpacked the package, broke a small half of the protein bar and stuffed it into the dog's mouth, then leaned his head against the wall, looked at the invisible Guanglin Pagoda with empty eyes, and then explained:

"After Old Man Wu left, many people in the welfare home chose to sign a deed of sale with Chenguang Biology, and I am the same, rather than guarding the dilapidated welfare home, it is better to have a way out, I don't think I did anything wrong.

And many people in the welfare home have been sent to other safe areas, hasn't Lin Chuan always wanted to go to the ideal university, if he can be sent to the fifth district, as soon as the ten-year contract period expires, he will be free.

That's why I will take the initiative to take over the task of signing a contract with you in the welfare institute, and you know the rest, I overheard Manager Wang's call, and it turned out that this old Wang Ba is a person with a hundred ghosts, and he is using me to fish, and now it seems that the other people in the welfare house are not sent abroad, and they are likely to have been sent to the slave hunting team by him. ”

"Grass! Why didn't you say it earlier!? And how much does he have the heart to whirl there? Run! ”

The second bald man scolded, while stuffing Ao Wu into his backpack and carrying it on his back, and dragged Jiang Yang to the intercity station.

"What are you running?"

Jiang Yang hadn't figured out the situation yet, but Jing Xuan directly pulled up his hood to cover his face:

"You have such a big head just to show off that you have red hair? Did you report your ID code when you entered the inner city? That old Wang Ba will definitely get the news, if he doesn't kill you, he won't be able to sleep well. ”

At that time, the situation was urgent, and Jiang Yang experienced such a thing for the first time, so he didn't think of running away at the first time, but now when he heard Jing Xuanyi, he reacted.

……

……

Lin Chuan on the other side was completely unconscious after being taken to the truck by Erzhu, but before his consciousness dissipated, he felt a trace of warmth coming from his chest.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the closed pure white space where he had been awakened.

The difference was that this time he saw the butterfly engraved in his memory.

The fleshy fingers caressed his face, and the small pink butterfly birthmark in his palm made Lin Chuan suddenly raise his head.

"Ah Li...... Is that you? ”

Lin Chuan looked at the little girl in front of him in a daze, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Why is Xiaochuan crying? Who bullied you again? Tell your sister that she will teach him a lesson for you! ”

The little girl only looked like she was in her teens, but she put on a posture of being an eldest sister, and while helping Lin Chuan wipe her tears, she took out half a brick from her pocket......

"How are you doing?"

Lin Chuan knew that Ah Li in front of her was illusory, because she still retained the appearance of when she parted, and the real Ah Li should be almost 18 years old now...... But he still couldn't help but talk about his thoughts.

"Are you the bad boys on the street? The second bald man and Jiang Yang always run away when they get into trouble, just you are stupid, you run the slowest every time......" Xiao Ah Li did not respond to Lin Chuan, still counting on his own:

"Xiaochuan, you have to promise your sister, in the future, when your sister is gone, don't be so stupid, this piece of candy will be given to you, and it won't hurt if you eat something sweet."

Lin Chuan subconsciously stretched out his hand, but before he could touch the candy, Xiao Ah Li turned into light chips and slowly dissipated, and at the same time, he also felt the changes in his body.

Although he didn't open his eyes, Lin Chuan's entire body appeared in his mind, he could see that the wound on his calf was still oozing blood, and he could also see that the diamond-shaped mirror that had grown up with him had turned into a mark on his left chest.

When he turned his attention to the mark, it was as if he knew that he could breathe, and instantly understood that he had an additional one-time ability:

Spiritual.

He can open up the mind of any thing and give it civilization.

Lin Chuan's first thought was the dog Ao Wu, although Ao Wu was originally very spiritual, he still wanted to see what the real Wang Xingren looked like.

However, soon Lin Chuan gave up this idea, he only had one chance to endow his spirit, and now he was at the point of life and death, only by maximizing his combat effectiveness could he be able to escape.

Spiritual ...... Spiritual ...... Civilization......

Even if he was in a state of detachment, the hairs on Lin Chuan's whole body stood up!

He thought of the tiny particles that made up the spiritual power, if those invisible spiritual powers had their own civilization...... Lin Chuan is likely to have created a microcosm of his own.

It's just that Lin Chuan is still in a state of detachment, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and if he wants to try to endow the spirit, he has to wait for the recovery of his strength, and he doesn't know whether the substance between the virtual and the real can be spiritual, so he hurriedly reported to Xiaoyou that he was safe, and asked about the essence of spiritual power by the way:

"I survived, in your opinion, what is the essence of spiritual power? Or what is the most basic component of spiritual power? By the way, have any changes in your mirrors? ”

"It's good to be alive......"

Although Xiao You's voice was steady, Lin Chuan still heard a hint of strangeness, he understood that feeling very well, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if he couldn't hear Xiao You speak again.

After a long time, Xiao You sorted out his emotions and responded to Lin Chuan's questions one by one.

……

Outside the 9th arrondissement, large trucks that had been on the run overnight were driving on roads that had fallen into disrepair.

The sun after the rain scorched the dilapidated road, and under the somewhat distorted air, a few yellowing weeds stubbornly cut through the gaps in the road, and on both sides of the road, there was a vast forest as far as the eye could see.

The windshield that was broken by the bullet had already been kicked down by Wang Daquan, and the hot wind blew his and Erzhu's hair, revealing their frightened faces.

There were only two off-road vehicles left on the side of the truck, and the three teams of the hundred ghosts were almost wiped out, except for Wang Daquan and Erzhu, only the mountain pass that surrounded Lin Chuan and another car of the hundred ghosts escaped from the ninth district.

The irony is that the reason why those IPCs who wiped out all the ghosts missed the truck was just because the driver's head was worthless, and no one cared about the slaves of this car at all.

Lin Chuan, who woke up leisurely, didn't figure out where he was, but he felt a little itchy feeling coming from his calf, and the wound that was cut by the knife didn't know what had scabbed over, but his body was still in a state of detachment.

Erzhu, who turned around and was about to take water, happened to meet Lin Chuan's eyes, and Lin Chuan, whose face was covered with blood, startled him, and subconsciously exclaimed:

"Uncle! Uncle! This kid isn't dead! ”

The escape all the way made them almost forget the existence of Lin Chuan, but Wang Daquan was always serious, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and handed the pistol and strap to Erzhu:

"Watch him well, and when you're done this way, lock him in the back of the container."

Erzhu was a little nervous and tied Lin Chuan's hands and feet with nylon cable ties, and then he picked up the gun with some trembling and stared at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan ignored him, but closed his eyes with peace of mind, and while waiting for the recovery of his physical strength, he continued to discuss with Xiao You the details of endowing spiritual power.

For the slave catchers, the living are always more useful than the dead, although I don't know how far the road is, at least the current Lin Chuan is still safe.
