The gates of the Garden of Eden have never been closed since they were opened, the once proud angels have been stained with earthly dust, Satan has vowed to return to earth, and the gears of fate have begun to turn slowly with a certain eighteen-year-old boy - a wedge.

"Lu Tiancheng! Hurry up and buy a bottle of soy sauce and come back! I stayed at home during the whole winter vacation, you look at the junior who is on the other side, and I have been working for a month in the summer! There was a roar at the kitchen door, and even the birds that landed on the fence were startled.

A boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old stumbled down from the attic, his eyes tired and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"I know how to play games all day long, be careful and your eyes will be blind in the future! Go out and buy me a bottle of soy sauce! Two green onions! ”

A middle-aged woman in a "good wife" chicken bouillon apron poked her head out of the kitchen and yelled angrily.

"Oh, I know, I'll go now!" The boy seems to have developed an immune effect to the sound of middle-aged women's yelling.

Just as the boy was about to leave, a pair of hands stretched out from the bedroom, still holding a twenty-dollar bill.

The voice was very low.

"A box of double happiness, the rest of the money belongs to you, the same as before."

It's cold!

Even though it was almost noon, the sun in the sky still seemed to freeze dry the entire ground, and the rustling of yellow leaves mixed with the rustle of the wind through the tree trunks filled the crowded streets.

Teenagers who rush home to play games after cram school, housewives who buy groceries and cook at home, and unloaders who sweat profusely seem to be on this almost twisted road, and everyone is as muddy as clockwork.

Lu Tiancheng didn't care at all, unlike others who avoided the cold wind as much as possible, Lu Tiancheng walked on the streets by himself, and he was leisurely, all because of the word "freedom".

Lu Tiancheng, male, eighteen years old this year, like the vast majority of children in this land, has been occupied by all kinds of learning pressure since he was a child, but he also has different places, since he was a child, his parents disappeared inexplicably, he became an orphan when he was three years old, fortunately, he had a distant uncle who had no children under his knees and took him to his side, the uncle was infertile, thanks to modern medical care, Lu Tiancheng gave birth to a sister by IVF when he was nine years old.

The arrival of the newborn made Lu Tiancheng have a subtle change in his aunt's heart, but fortunately, his uncle was not bad to himself, and he was always able to hide some private money, and he occasionally took the opportunity to buy cigarettes to give Lu Tiancheng some pocket money.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old Lu Tiancheng always thought that he would be like the protagonist in "Harry Potter", everything was completely different after the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, but fate was not so easy to reverse, a fifteen yuan roadside cake plus two bottles of Coke, a shabby birthday slowly ended with the sunset that day.

If you can't get into college, go out to work, and wander for half your life, these roads seem to have been planned when Lu Tiancheng was born.

But Lu Tiancheng didn't care about this, after all, wandering for half a life can end up with a freedom, and it's not easy to send a copy under the fence, if everyone is a game archive from birth to death, then I'm afraid I'm going to open a hellish difficulty.

"A bottle of soy sauce, two green onions, a box of double happiness, double happiness, put it here!" Lu Tiancheng took out a wad of change from his pocket and scattered it on the counter.

Because there are few people who come out at noon, and Lu Tiancheng often comes, the middle-aged male boss also said with a familiar look: "I will give you the comics you want, and I will arrive almost tomorrow." ”

"Then you put it for me, I'll take it when I have time."

"Where are people reading paper graphic novels now, if you don't want me, I won't bring them into the ground."

"Nostalgia!" Lu Tiancheng didn't care, took out the pocket money given by his uncle from his pocket and said, "Old look, Ice Coke, I invite you." ”

The middle-aged male boss smiled when he heard this, and reached out to take out two bottles of Coke that had been frozen for a long time in the freezer.

"Forget it today, the deal is good, I'll invite you." The middle-aged male boss pushed the change in front of Lu Tiancheng and said.

Lu Tiancheng didn't push back, and after putting the change in his pocket, he lay on the recliner of the convenience store, enjoying a rare relaxation.

"I see that you kid didn't sleep all night, did you stay up late to read novels last night?" The middle-aged male boss said jokingly.

Lu Tiancheng didn't answer, in fact, he had a dream, a dream that couldn't be said to be good or bad.

He dreamed that he had come to a manor, covered with skeletons and bloody feathers, and that a seraphim shrouded in a golden circle of light stood in front of him, and a seraphim shrouded in a black aperture stood behind him.

This is a dream, but this dream made Lu Tiancheng dream for several days.

For this kind of ridiculous words, Lu Tiancheng naturally didn't reveal it to anyone, and after drinking the last sip of ice Coke, he slowly got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Remember to come over tomorrow to pick up the comics!" The middle-aged male boss reminded.

Lu Tiancheng didn't answer, just waved his hand, which was regarded as expressing his gratitude.

Looking at the words "I wish XXX in this community to be admitted to XX University as he wishes" hanging at the entrance of the community since the summer, Lu Tiancheng had mixed tastes, he failed the college entrance examination, and then he was unemployed at home, lying flat with nothing to do every day, as if he had been wandering on the fringes of society, and there were more and less transparent people who did nothing.

After returning home, Lu Tiancheng handed over the soy sauce and vegetables to his aunt and went into the attic as usual, and when he came out again, it was already sunset.

On the dinner table.

Auntie was the first to speak: "Tiancheng, you are eighteen years old this year, do you have any plans for the future?" ”

Lu Tiancheng shook his head helplessly, this kind of topic seemed so ironic at this moment.

"I told your Uncle Sun, he opened a very good auto repair shop, you can consider going there, at least there is a craft, he does second-hand car repair, and the salary is very good!" Uncle also took the opportunity to interject.

Lu Tiancheng, who didn't have any ability to refute, had no choice but to nod.

"Brother, don't be sad, when I grow up and make money, I can take care of you!"

Sister Lu Wan's words made Lu Tiancheng's body tremble, and Lu Wan's existence was like a light on Lu Tiancheng's dark life path.

Lu Tiancheng pursed his lips, reluctantly hooked a smile and said, "Don't worry!" Brother will work hard to make money! ”

How did the meal go, Lu Tiancheng didn't care, at least Lu Wan's words made Lu Tiancheng feel a lot.

Lu Tiancheng, who returned to the room, lay weakly on the bed, facing the black sky like the bottom of a pot, and did not speak for a long time.

Just when Lu Tiancheng was in a daze, a black shadow flashed.

"Who?"

Lu Tiancheng sat up from the bed suddenly, pushed open the attic window, and looked around.

"Damn, I've met a ghost."

Lu Tiancheng's vision was fixed in the gray night, and a man of medium stature stood on the eaves of the attic.

"Are you making a movie?" Lu Tiancheng racked his brains and seemed to arrange a more acceptable reason for himself.

The man seemed to have discovered him, and just as he wanted to speak, Lu Tiancheng felt an endless chill coming from the sky.

An indiscernible figure came in an instant, and the man took a small step forward and pulled out a large-caliber revolver from his black trench coat.

"Damn, it's pretty good to run."

The man half-crouched down, still cursing in his mouth.

Suddenly, the man's eyes froze, and a huge sound wave shot out from the large-caliber revolver, and a red light streaked across the night sky like lightning, and the figure fell to the ground in response, falling to the dust.

Lu Tiancheng looked up at the black night sky and muttered, "Kill... Killed? ”

Seeing the black shadow fall heavily on the ground, the man sat on the ground and said with some complaints.

"Group A, I'm Executive Officer Xia He, the task is complete, the fallen angel has been killed, and you are good at the aftermath."

"Team Leader Xia, I have received it, thank you for letting you go all the way, if it weren't for you, the fallen angel, we really don't know what to do."

The man didn't reply, but said quietly: "How can you have such a big face, I'm just doing me a favor." ”

"You're right, Brother Lu."

The man's words were said by staring at Lu Tiancheng tightly.

"You.... How do you know me? Lu Tiancheng hurriedly retracted his neck into the room and cautiously explored.

"My name is Xia He, and I'm here to find you this time." Xia He gets straight to the point.

The man's smiling expression coupled with the decisiveness of the shot just now reminded Lu Tiancheng of those peerless killers in some gangster movies.

"I haven't seen anything, I won't say anything, big brother, I'm just a poor student, here are five yuan, it's the money I bought tomorrow for comics, all for you." Xia He flattered and took out all the change in his pocket.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, I'm a teacher, a righteous gentleman, your blatant bribery is a great disrespect to my teaching career." Xia He hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and solemnly loosened the tie around his neck.

Just when Lu Tiancheng just breathed a sigh of relief, the man put the change that Lu Tiancheng put on the table into his pocket.

"But I'm really a little thirsty to come all the way here, this money should be your filial piety to your teacher, I'm welcome, it's still our own country's iced black tea is delicious, and Germanic coffee is bitter."

Xia He was talking to himself, but Lu Tiancheng was at a loss.

"This is for you, you can come to me according to this position tomorrow, explain in advance, I don't like others to be late."

After Xia He took out a yellow envelope from his black robe and handed it to Lu Tiancheng, he briefly introduced two sentences and then disappeared into the vast night.

In a private outdoor sports field not far from Xia He's home.

A group of staff in white coats seemed to be cleaning up some tracks.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? It's closed here, and you know! A manager slowly walked over with a flashlight, and immediately asked when he saw the scene in front of him.

The staff were indifferent.

Seeing that he was ostracized, the management suddenly became angry: "Say you guys! I don't understand people, don't I. ”

A man wearing a black trench coat like Xia He slowly walked out of the shadows and said: "I'm sorry, this place has been acquired by us, in other words, there is a change of boss here, you can ask your manager for the specific situation, your job position may also change." ”

Managers still seem to be a little unconvinced: "What nonsense? You know how much this stadium costs! ”

At this moment, the manager's mobile phone rang, and when the manager hung up the phone, he immediately changed his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, leader, you're busy, I'm still boiling hot water on the stove, I'll go back first." ”

The man in black seemed to have guessed about the performance of the manager, and waved his hand lightly in agreement.

After the management left, a white coat came over and said: "Team Wang, the body of the fallen angel has been cleaned up, the CCTV in the vicinity has been deleted, and the school has also bought this sports field, you see.."

The man in black nodded and said, "Close." ”

Although Lu Tiancheng has been in a difficult situation over the years, he is more than enough to be better than the top, after all, he is a child living in a first-tier city, and he has more or less heard of well-known places such as Starbucks.

But standing downstairs in the Tiandu Building, Lu Tiancheng still looked uneasy and nervous.

Tiandu Building, also known as Tiandu Pavilion, is a first-class hall in the local area, and it is still a membership system, and the assets must exceed 10 million to have the right to apply for a membership card, but at this moment, Lu Tiancheng is holding one in his hand.

Of course, this was not bought by Lu Tiancheng, and even Lu Tiancheng's uncle may not be able to buy one after working for three hundred years, which is contained in the yellow envelope that Xia He handed over to him last night.

There was only one sentence on the letter.

"Tomorrow at 11:30 noon, we will have lunch on the sixteenth floor of Tiandu Building, if you don't come, you will bear the consequences, your mentor Xia He."

Lu Tianwei didn't plan to come, but after hesitating again and again, he finally decided to come and have a look.

This is the first time Lu Tiancheng has experienced the feeling of being respected, when he put the membership card at the front desk, the front desk lady from the beginning of the disdain to respect and finally even showed admiration.

"Hello Mr. Lu, the exclusive channel has been opened for you, please have a happy meal."

The front desk lady showed a standard smile, and took out her mobile phone to prepare to add Lu Tiancheng's phone.

However, Lu Tiancheng's mind was full of questions at this moment.

With the clink of the elevator bell, the door to a new world seemed to open towards him.
