Chapter 132: Falling into the Deep Sea (4)
The rain slid down from the sky and fell into the inky blackened ground, creating ripples that shimmered with light.
Light does not follow the logic of reality, the reflection of the city in the dark night is muddy in the water, Ning Yuan sees a small black and white city through the influence of the turbidity in the water.
There are no gorgeous neon scenes, no complex industrial buildings, just peace and tranquility in the small town.
He stepped forward curiously, saw his own reflection, and was startled.
It was a rotting skeleton, with remnants of flesh hanging from the gray-white skeleton, and several vultures stood on the skeleton, pecking at the remnants of his flesh with their sharp beaks.
What is it?
Is this me?
The sound of electricity ringing in Ning Yuan's ears made him feel as if there was a centrifuge shaking his brain, which made him nauseous.
He covered his head and crouched on the ground with a painful expression, countless broken memories popped up in his mind, and the world around him began to change at the speed of light.
Faintly in the background, the skyscraper towers like Optimus Pillars collapsed, and the sky began to clear, and the sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, stabbing to the ground like a sharp sword, and also stabbing Ning Yuan's body.
Ning Yuan felt his eyes light up, he opened his eyes and looked ahead, and found that the purple-haired girl didn't know when he was standing in front of him, and asked with a worried expression, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Brother?"
Ning Yuan's pupils dilated suddenly.
The glimmer of light hit the girl's body, and the halo emitted made the girl hazy, as if it had disappeared.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, wanting to see if the girl in front of him was real, but he didn't touch anything.
This is...... What's going on?
"It's raining, it's enough." The purple-haired girl said with disgust: "I want to spend another night wet, but don't catch a cold." ”
The girl stretched out her hand and knocked on Ning Yuan's skull: "Brother nerd, what do you want?" ”
Feeling the pain on his skull, Ning Yuan hurriedly said, "No, I ...... No. ”
The sunshine, the town, and the strange puddles are gone, and only the heavier and heavier rain is washing away the dust of the world.
"You're not going to catch a cold, are you?" The purple-haired girl touched Ning Yuan's head: "It's not hot, why are you so stunned?" ”
In the sky, several vultures were circling, making a few terrible chirpings from time to time, Ning Yuan frowned, and said hesitantly: "I seem to have seen a dead body." ”
"Hey, what are you afraid of when people are dead, isn't this place dying every day?" The purple-haired girl sneered and said, "It won't scare you out of a few corpses." ”
"What if it ......" Ning Yuan asked with some panic, "What if it is us who die?" ”
“……”
The purple-haired girl was silent for a moment, then said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, you can't die." ”
"I mean, in case ......"
"Eh, why are you such a mother-in-law, if you die, you die, and then you are thrown into the abyss, isn't little Parker thrown down by us." The purple-haired girl knocked on Ning Yuan's skull, and said in an unhappy tone, "What are you trying to do?" ”
Little Parker ......
In Ning Yuan's mind, a little boy with reddish-brown hair and a freckled face suddenly died in the alley.
He had a fever.
Neither he, himself, nor his sister had the money to buy a cold medicine, so he could only hold on.
But many people have died in the alleys where they are hiding...... Although the body was disposed of, the bacteria produced by the corpse's decomposition entangled the living, and after three days, little Parker still didn't survive.
His greatest wish before dying was to take a bite of a chocolate bar, which little Parker had never eaten before, and wanted to take a bite before he died.
For this chocolate bar, I was beaten badly...... Thinking of this, Ning Yuan felt a faint pain on his face, back, and arms.
The scene of the supermarket employee beating him is still remembered.
He still remembers the resentful and disgusted eyes of the employees, which were not like looking at a child, but at his own mortal enemy.
He couldn't understand why a chocolate bar worth less than 10 would put him under such an extreme punishment.
But recalling the advertisements on the streets at that time, combined with the words of the supermarket staff, he now understands.
It's a really complicated thing.
At that time, a new generation of civilian super-artificial intelligence robots appeared.
A machine that surpasses human intelligence, can perfectly execute container management and people flow planning, and the price is only half of the monthly salary of supermarket employees......
When this machine, which originally belonged to the military sector, seized the civilian market at an extremely low price, it led to ...... Supermarket owners will strictly supervise their employees...... Every small mistake can cost an employee their job.
After all, by doing so, the boss can pay a little less......
In a society where everyone is in debt, losing a job means losing everything, so he becomes the enemy's life-and-death enemy of employees.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan smiled bitterly.
It turned out that what he endured was the malice of the whole world.
After Parker Jr. died, he and his sister threw his body into the abyss.
This is an ancient custom in the lower district of Bravel.
Insects that climb up from the abyss will eventually return to the abyss, dust to dust, and dust to dust.
If you think about yourself, you will end up in the abyss.
The reflection in the puddle became even more dim, and in the cracks of the tall buildings, streams of ink surged upward, condensing into the shape of an abyss.
This industrial city, which has evolved from a small town on the earth, is becoming more and more like a ruin.
There was a rancid smell in the air.
The purple-haired girl looked at Ning Yuan's preoccupied appearance and wanted to say something to comfort Ning Yuan, but finally gave up: "Let's go in quickly." Hopefully, when we come out, the rain will stop. ”
"Hmm."
Ning Yuan nodded.
The back door of the supermarket was not locked, and the two entered the supermarket without incident.
Behind the door, there was a long and narrow corridor, and the scarlet emergency lights flickered on the wall, like wolves staring at their prey at night, which made Ning Yuan's heart a little hairy.
Ning Yuan asked a little cowardly: "Sister, what should you do if you say we are caught?" ”
"Ah, we're not going to get caught." The purple-haired girl waved her fist with an impassioned ...... whispered: "We have to work hard, we have to make a lot of money, we have to eat and drink spicy food, we have to wear beautiful clothes!" ”
"Sister, your pie painting is so perfunctory."
"Don't those bosses say that!" The purple-haired girl said with a smile: "Then they will let the employees dance the magic dance, saying that they will integrate into the collective, and they will talk about wolf culture." ”
Ning Yuan scratched his head, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind, and he teased: "Then the boss will say...... The bonus is gone at the end of the month? Half of your salary was also deducted? ”
"Haha, brother, you understand the boss."
"This, just let the wolf howl, and don't let the wolf eat meat, doesn't this train the dog......" Ning Yuan said a little speechless.
"That's right, I'm training you, come, brother, give Sister Wang one!"
"Sister, don't make trouble, you're not a Machima......"
"Ah, who are you talking about?"
"That's it...... Chainsaw Man, Chainsaw...... What's going on? ”
Ning Yuan felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, and after a while, he left the matter of 'he forgot something'.
Forget it, whatever.
Earn! Eat and drink spicy!
At the front of the hallway, there is a staff toilet and a large storage room.
There was a bunch of cleaning robots stored in the storage room, and the sudden power outage caused one of the charging robots to malfunction in his eyes, and was flashing electric sparks outward.
A supermarket employee stood on the edge of the storage room and yelled, "Damn! How is this robot always bad! Still don't let people live? ”
After hearing this, Ning Yuan complained in his heart: How can it be updated if it is not bad? Let you use it for a lifetime...... Is the factory still making money?
"!"
After the supermarket employee scolded for a while, he skillfully took off the tool kit on his waist and opened the inner tank of the robot to check: "It's okay, it's just a capacitor, I'll find a new one to weld, this Sima's boss is really buckled, can't you buy a batch of new ones?" It's all over the warranty period for one year! ”
“……”
"In this class, I studied financial management! How to manage a broom mop and teach yourself how to be an electrician! The employee scolded and said, "Convinced!" Why is there a power outage at this time! I can't even see it clearly! ”
Ning Yuan suddenly felt that there were 10,000 grooves in his heart, and he didn't know where to vomit.
Thankfully, the supermarket employee's attention was completely distracted by the broken robot, and they managed to navigate the corridor and enter the supermarket lobby.
The emergency lights in the hall are a deep blue, unlike those in the hallway.
The space inside is very large, the size of half a football field, and the tall shelves are neatly arranged in the hall, lined up with a dazzling array of goods.
Small drones hover over supermarkets, hoisting bags of small goods and gently placing them on the shelves.
The doorway was crowded with people, all waiting for the power to be restored before checking out and leaving.
"Brother, let's move quickly, maybe the power will be restored in a while." The purple-haired girl said: "You go to find food, remember not to pick the expensive ones, don't pick the heavy ones, take more ones, let's sell them for some money." ”
"Hmm." Ning Yuan nodded.
"I'm going to pick up some soap, laundry detergent and stuff like that......"
Before the purple-haired girl could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her.
"Yo, look what I found, two little mice."
Ning Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and found a burly man, wearing a supermarket security uniform, his exposed hands flashing with metallic light.
Prosthetic ......
"Let's ......" The purple-haired girl was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by a security guard: "Hand over what you stole from!" ”
"Steal?" The purple-haired girl said with a puzzled expression: "What did we steal, don't spew blood!" ”
"Hehe, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." The security guard sneered: "You don't want to say that you came here to hide from the rain, do you?" ”
"I ......"
After the lines were snatched, the purple-haired girl was a little panicked, and she pretended to be calm and said, "We are ......"
"It's a fart!" The security guard pointed to the ring emergency light on the ceiling and said, "You should be glad that the power is out, otherwise that automatic turret will pop up and shoot two power lines at the two of you......"
He paused, and a hideous smile appeared on his face: "Tsk, that current is for burning the main control, an adult can be electrocuted, you two children ......"
Ning Yuan glanced at the ring emergency light on the ceiling with great fear, and his face showed a frightened program.
Luckily, the power was cut off before.
"Come on, hand over what you two stole and get out of here!"
"We didn't steal anything!" The purple-haired girl said loudly, "We really came in to hide from the rain!" ”
As she spoke, she cried as if she was possessed: "We...... Woo, we don't have a home, we can only live outside, it's raining, it's raining so much, many friends have caught a cold...... Me, we don't want to catch a cold, we don't want to get sick...... You're not going to let us in......"
"Hmph, don't talk about these things." The security guard snorted coldly and said, "I really didn't steal it, okay, take off my clothes for me, I'll take a look." ”
"You!" The purple-haired girl said angrily, "You are really too deceitful! I said it all, we didn't steal anything! ”
"What about the evidence?" The security guard sneered and said, "Without evidence, why should I believe you?" Take off your clothes, and if you really didn't steal, I'll let you both go. ”
Ning Yuan said very angrily: "You are bullying!" What authority do you have to do that? ”
His voice attracted the attention of those passers-by, who looked at this indifferently, without the slightest fluctuation in their eyes, but their mouths began to talk happily.
"Are you catching two more thieves?"
"I don't know why these kids don't learn well at a young age, so they have to steal it?"
"It should be that the parents are not strict with discipline."
"Looking at their poor and sour appearance, presumably their parents are not a good thing, and they can only teach such a bad thing."
"These two people are supposed to be orphans, and they can't stand the hunger and come to steal."
"Fart, there are so many welfare agencies that adopt orphans and make orphans come out and steal? I didn't watch the short video, but the community welfare is well built, and 97% of the orphans have homes. ”
"That's right, the official media of those welfare agencies have said that most orphans are fraudsters and are forced by their parents to beg on the street, let's not believe this."
"Phew, if the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, they should be taken off! Good long memory! ”
"What you said, why can't you let the two children strip in public, let's go up and help?"
"I want to go to you, I don't want to be used by the supermarket to play and rip the money in my pocket, didn't you just buy the charity products of the Lu Wang Fund, and scan the code to log on to their website, saying that you want to support the construction of welfare, you go!"
"Look at what you said, I'll buy two chocolate bars, if it weren't cheaper like this, who would want to log on to their website."
……
The piercing conversation of passers-by reached the ears of the two children, making the hearts of the two of them feel a little chilly, and Ning Yuan said with a red face: "You have no right to do this!" You're violating ......"
"Oh, starting to quibble? I'm afraid that the products hidden in my clothes will be discovered! The security guard sank his face and said, "Either you take it off yourself, or I'll help you both take it off." ”
Hearing this, Ning Yuan felt his heart spewing fire outward, and he stared at the pistol on the security guard's waist, feeling as if something was neighing in his heart.
"Brother...... purple-haired girl gently pressed Ning Yuan's shoulder, and asked with tears on her face, "Do you really want to be here?" Can't find a room......"
The security guard sneered and said, "The two stinky rats in the gutter still want dignity? Scold! ”
After saying that, he hugged his arms and said, "I'll only give you five counts, five, four......"
Ning Yuan's footsteps moved slightly, and he wanted to touch the gun, but he was pressed in place by the purple-haired girl beside him.
"Brother, he has a prosthetic." The purple-haired girl whispered.
Looking at the guard's metallic hand, Ning Yuan lowered his head and closed his eyes.
If you are impulsive, you may be beaten down in an instant, and if you are slapped in the face by this hand, I am afraid that your head will be slapped......
But he was not reconciled.
"Who told us we didn't have any money?" The purple-haired girl smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. ”
Ning Yuan nodded helplessly.
Oh, yes.
Who told us that we don't have money, and if we have money, we shouldn't have to accept such humiliation......
No!
Ning Yuan thought angrily: If I were rich, I would definitely let this thing strip naked and pole dance!
"Okay, I'll take it off, I'll take it off for you!" The purple-haired girl said loudly, "What if we find out that we didn't steal?" ”
Hearing this, the security guard sneered: "Heh, are you still worthy of making conditions with me?" Hurry up! I have limited patience. ”
The purple-haired girl clenched her fists, then gently placed her hand on the side of her clothes.
Just then, a voice came.
"Brother, are you still a person when you persecute your children so much? I'll just forget it. ”
Ning Yuan followed the sound and found a monk in a tattered cloth robe, slowly walking towards him.
The monk walked up to the two children unhurriedly and blocked the two children behind him: "Brother, everyone is human, everyone is equal, and they all need to be respected. ”
"Hmph, look at what you're wearing, you have the dignity of a fart!" The security guard snorted coldly and said, "Get out! Don't let me see you again. ”
The monk's face sank, and he asked sharply, "You mean, the poor don't deserve dignity?" ”
"Yes, it's not worthy!" The security guard said: "Just look at those dramas on the Internet, all the bad things are done by poor people like you, why should you have dignity?" It's time to strip naked and let people see how dirty you are! ”
"This donor, do you know that the operation of this society is supported by countless poor people."
"I'm laughing to death!" The security guard said mockingly: "I think you are really stupid, it is written in primary school textbooks that the cornerstone of society is the elite group and the automation industry they developed!" ”
"Huh."
The monk lowered his head, sighed, and then said, "So, who built the entire automated industry?" ”
"Of course, those elite ......"
"Donor." The monk interrupted the security guard: "It's tens of billions of poor people!" Without their labor, where would the machine tool come from? Where does the automation industry come from? Where did ...... come from?"
The monk pointed to the shelves around him and said, "Where did you get these goods?" ”
The security guard shook his head and snorted coldly, "I'm all stunned by you!" What are you farting for? Does this have anything to do with these two little thieves? ”
"Of course." The monk opened his arms and said, "Look at the goods on the shelves, there are so many, there are too many to pick, such abundant substances, why are there still children who are hungry and can't live?" ”
"It's my business!" The security guard said with a gloomy face: "You either get out of the way, or you ...... Don't blame me for being rude! ”
With that, he rolled up his sleeves and revealed his entire robotic arm.
"Eh......"
The monk sighed at first, then said with a wry smile and in a low voice, "This is really, an intracranial war...... Fortunately, this is a war, Ning Yuan, let me guard the ideological line for you. ”
"What are you talking about? I'll give you an ultimatum! or! ”
After saying that, the security guard waved the mechanical arm, and the metal cut through the air, making two crisp explosions, which made the hearts of everyone present tremble.
"You're a watchdog, you're going to cover your mouth and threaten." The monk chuckled and said, "But if you really fight, you will find that you are paper paste." ”
"It's not paper paste, why don't you try it!"
"I don't have to try to know."
The figure of the monk flashed, and he instantly walked to the side of the security guard, pinched his neck with one hand, lifted him high, and asked sharply:
"Excuse me, am I going to strip naked and get checked by you?"
