Termite City, Black Light District.

At night, a thick fog filled the streets of the underworld, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The turquoise bronze rails twisted in the darkness like the ground, hideous black-brown scars, like blood had dried up and crusted.

There were no street lights on the side of the road, because the fog people of the Bottom City could not afford this expensive light.

"Hiss~"

Qiao Tiegen shivered in the cold wind, he hurriedly tightened his clothes, and the hot air from his collar stroked his throat and felt some warmth.

He decided not to wait any longer.

Taking out the flashlight, Qiao Tiegen swaggered ahead, where was a row of dilapidated low buildings, which was also his target tonight.

He wasn't worried that the glow of the flashlight would alarm the owner of the house, for it was a dark zone where the fog people lived, and they couldn't see even the blazing torches lit in front of their eyes.

Qiao Tiegen is also a fog people, but unlike other fog people, he has some small opportunities of his own, so he also gains something that other fog people don't have.

For example, he can see.

Using a flashlight to pierce through the glimmer of the fog, Qiao Tiegen soon came to one of the remote dilapidated buildings.

This low building looks like a single-family structure, from the two guide ropes at the door, and the situation he stepped on to ask, there is only a mother and son living here.

There is no prime of life in the family, and there are still fog people, Qiao Tiegen touched the slightly heavy blade in his pocket, and felt that even if there was an "accident", he could solve it quickly without causing too much movement.

"Damn, it stinks, it's more hygienic than me......"

As soon as he approached the dilapidated building, Qiao Tiegen smelled a rotten acidic stench sweeping in the cold wind, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He held his breath a little and tiptoed closer in.

The small building was quiet.

He leaned on the wall and listened carefully for a while, and after confirming that the mother and son in the house were resting, he was about to act, but suddenly heard a young man's voice from inside: "I don't know, it should be someone passing by." ”

The voice has the youthfulness of a teenager, but it sounds dry and low.

These words were extremely abrupt, Qiao Tiegen was startled, turned a little annoyed, and subconsciously reached out and touched his pocket.

Was it discovered?

Damn, the fog people's ears are really good.

Qiao Tiegen was a little annoyed, but instead straightened up, now that he was noticed, he simply didn't bother to pretend and had a showdown.

If you can't steal it, then grab it!

He has the power now.

Before the operation, he also made such a plan, this is not the first time he has done this, he deliberately chose this remote area, because even if two people die here, the patrol team will not notice it in ten days and half a month.

"Invite him in? Forget it, it's so late. ”

At this moment, the boy's voice came again.

Qiao Tiegen raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had missed it, and he suddenly remembered that there was such a sentence before, this young man should be talking to his mother?

Could it be that his mother's voice was too soft?

But either way, he must have been discovered.

Looking at the slightly heavy iron gate in front of him, Qiao Tiegen coughed lightly, and lamented in a pitiful tone: "Okay, my guide rope is broken, I'm lost, I broke my leg, I finally came here along your guide rope, can you help me bandage my wound?" I've bled a lot! ”

"There's nothing pitiful, who can blame you for breaking your guide rope?" The boy inside said, but judging by his tone, it seemed to be persuading his mother.

Qiao Tiegen: "......"

Why is this damn little imp so unsympathetic?!

Wait and see how Genye cleans you up!

Since the bitter meat plan is not good, Qiao Tiegen is ready to break the window directly, and the quick solution, with flashlight lighting, should be able to make them completely shut up before they scream.

"Okay, okay, I'll just listen to my mother."

At this moment, the young man's slightly helpless voice came from the house, accompanied by a sigh, Qiao Tiegen heard a sound of footsteps and slowly walked over from the depths of the house.

Qiao Tiegen was stunned for a moment, and he was secretly happy in his heart, as expected, he was still a woman's soft heart.

Although he was a little puzzled why he didn't hear the mother's voice, he listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and when he came to the door, he immediately took out the dagger in his pocket and was ready.

After the door is opened, that ruthless imp can no longer be "arrogant"!

Smack!

The sound of the lock turned open, and the iron door was pulled open a crack.

Cautious imp...... As soon as Qiao Tiegen complained in his heart, he felt suffocated.

A sickeningly strong stench of erosion rushed out of the gate, almost starving his brain to the point of going blank in an instant.

The stench resembles an unbearable twisted smell of rotting pork offal mixed with fermented manure.

Even Qiao Tiegen, who had been affected by the harsh environment of the underground city since he was a child, was a little unbearable for a while, and he felt that he couldn't breathe.

Qiao Tiegen touched the palm of his pocket, quickly covered his nose instead, and at the same time shone it with a flashlight, and saw the appearance of the hateful young man clearly.

He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, thin, visibly malnourished, and his face was no different from that of the other foggiers, with a ...... chin, lips, and the bridge of the nose Further up, it's the hairline.

In the middle of the bridge of the nose and the hairline, there is a complete piece of skin.

without eyes,

There are no eyebrows.

These are the native foggers, unable to see and not needing light.

"If you have a broken leg, just rub it yourself, don't bother others if you don't have anything to do, and we don't have hemostatic medicine at home." The boy said expressionlessly.

“……”

Qiao Tiegen's face was a little purple, I don't know if it was smoked by the stench or angry by the young man's words.

"Be kind!"

Qiao Tiegen gritted his teeth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a foul smell pouring into his mouth, feeling like swallowing countless rotten stinky fish at once, and there was a feeling of vomiting with stomach and intestines squirming.

He hurriedly closed his mouth, glared viciously at the boy, and pulled the dagger from his pocket without hesitation.

The moment he took out the dagger, the young man seemed to hear something, and said helplessly: "Mom, do you really want to bandage him?" Okay, then listen to Mom, I'll go back to my room first. ”

After saying that, he sighed, as if he felt sorry for his mother who was too kind.

"Humph!"

Qiao Tiegen snorted coldly, not planning to let go of this little ghost, and was about to rush up to backstab, when suddenly, he heard a sound of Si Xi Suosuo, coming from the door.

Immediately after, there was an extremely faint "giggle" laugh, bright and moving.

The laughter grew clearer and clearer, from far to near, as if it were approaching at a rapid pace from an incomparably distant place.

Gradually, the laughter turned into a woman's voice: "He heard, he heard, he could hear!! ”

Qiao Tiegen's cold hairs stood up, and he shone a flashlight into the darkness of the room, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he saw the most terrifying and regrettable scene in his life.

……

In the early morning, the sun shines through the fog and shines on the rows of houses in the black-lit area.

In the bedroom, the boy got up on time at seven o'clock.

He moved his body for a moment, and then got out of bed and dressed extremely skillfully.

Despite his lack of eyes, his familiarity with his room allowed him to move with great skill, without a guide stick or bumping into a corner.

When he came to the door, he paused slightly, and then held on to the wall with one hand, and followed the guide line on the wall to his mother's room.

The structure of the room made it easy for him to touch the side of the bed, and when he touched it, he found that his mother's skin was getting softer and softer.

Maybe it was his movements, and the voice of his mother waking up came from the side, with a little bit of laziness and gentleness in getting up: "Xiao Shen, are you already up, are you hungry, mom will go cook for you." ”

"I'm fine, not very hungry." The boy withdrew his palm and said softly.

"Then you have to eat, you're still growing your body, how can you skip breakfast." The mother said something disgusted, and then the boy heard the sound of Suo Suo walking and left the room.

"Mom, what about the guests outside the door yesterday?" The boy felt the wall and returned to the living room, sat down at the dining table, and asked casually.

"That man, he's gone." Mom said with a chuckle.

Send ...... away The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Don't let such people in the future, they will be uneasy and kind when they see it, maybe they will pretend to have a broken leg!" ”

"Xiao Shen, you can't talk like this, didn't that person also say it, be kind, we have to be ...... Help those in need! Mom taught gently.

The corners of the boy's mouth twitched slightly, and finally he didn't say anything, and returned to his expressionless appearance.

Not long after, a food with a rich flavor was handed to the table in front of the boy.

"It's done, you eat slowly."

The boy touched the chopsticks on the dining table and fell silent.

"Why don't you eat it?" Mom seemed to notice the boy's pause, and said gently: "This is still the ingredients you ate before, the taste is the same as before, the dishes that Mom went to buy today are not very fresh, and I will leave it to Mom to eat by herself, you are still growing your body, I won't let you eat those things that are not nutritious......"

"I know." The boy said expressionlessly, "I just stayed at home for too long and wanted to go out for a walk." ”

"Why do you think like that?"

Mom's voice sank slightly, and she seemed to be a little angry: "Didn't I tell you, it's dangerous outside, you stay here, and your mother takes care of you every day, isn't it?" ”

Dangerous ...... out there The corners of the boy's mouth twitched slightly, the house is the most dangerous...

He said: "It's good to have my mother to take care of me, but it's not a way to stay at home every day, so I just go out and play for a while......

"How many times have I told you, it's dangerous out there, it's dangerous! Why don't you understand! Mom's voice suddenly became sharp, with anger.

Perhaps too excited, the boy felt his mother's saliva splash on his face.

He reached out and wiped it off, sticky and wet.

Seeing that his mother lost his temper, the young man hurriedly said, "Mom, don't be angry, I just stayed at home for too long and was a little bored." ”

"Stuffy?" The mother showed a slightly puzzled voice, as if she was in deep thought, and after a long time, her voice regained its tenderness, and said, "Does Xiao Shen need a playmate?" Go back and mom will go get you some. ”

The young man hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Mom, I just want to be alone, I don't need playmates, I hate being with people the most!" ”

"Yes, people are very troublesome...... "Mom said to herself.

While they were talking, suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the small building.

"Lost on a broken rope again?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then sighed slightly.

"Oh not this time...... '' mother's voice came, reining in the tenderness she had with her youth, but with a strange coldness.
