Chapter 5·"Will you save them one day?"

Su Ming'an sat ten meters away from Xiaomei's house.

From a house not far away, a rough man's shouting and cursing kept coming.

Just now, after returning from the garbage mountain, Xiaomei saw the man walking into her house at a glance. She explained that he was her father and asked Su Mingan to wait in the distance.

As a result, after Xiaomei entered the room, he heard such a sound.

"——You money-losing guy, why don't you die? You're a dirty guy who sells his body to get money. I've been completely disgraced by you... His grandma should have strangled you to death when you were born! If you were a My son, you can still continue our family lineage, but now I feel unlucky just looking at you..."

The curses of the men in the room were getting worse and worse, and even the barrages were becoming unbearable.

"Bang!" A loud bang suddenly came from the door, and the man's yelling and cursing stopped.

Su Mingan took a step forward, opened the door, and saw Xiaomei with red and swollen palm marks on his face. Her hand with a robotic arm was raised high, and next to her was her fallen and unconscious father.

"I never thought about fighting back." Xiaomei's eyes were straight, her fingers clicked, and the man's blood remained between her fingers: "Why are you forcing me, why are you forcing me...why are you dragging me? hair, why are you hitting me.

Why did he have to gamble all day long, why did he take away my mother's medicine and destroy this family... I just want to have a family, what did I do wrong? Is there something wrong with me? "

She was breathing rapidly, trying to breathe as hard as she could, her eyes red.

Wet hair stuck to the side of her face, and her lips were bleeding from the previous man's hand.

"Dong An'an is not my biological sister, she was adopted... I have been in a family of three since I was a child. Me, my father, and my mother, all three of them have inferior personalities. I have known since I was a child that I have to work hard and earn a lot of money..."

She spoke tremblingly, very fast, and the chip on the back of her neck flashed red at a very fast frequency.

[Current emotion value:...] Xike said softly.

"Before, the inner city came to select people to work. I knew that the opportunity to change my destiny had come. I went to pick up garbage. I bought so many books that I almost went blind. The Dawn System finally passed my adaptability . I filled in the two job directions of mechanics and economics, and I can enter the city, even if I am an inferior personality..."

Her body was shaking violently, and the blood on the mechanical arm dripped drop by drop.

"However, people with inferior personalities are at risk of emotional overload at any time, and are prone to losing money...

My father locked me in the house and wouldn’t let me go there. He said that as long as the girls in the fringe area are pretty enough...

Then, then..."

She looked up.

His eyes were empty.

"…and then there was nothing more."

"Then that's what you see."

“I became ‘that kind of woman’.”

"In order to keep her skin smooth, she doesn't have a robotic arm. Women who make this choice are cheap and ridiculous. They are no different from bed bugs..."

"Didi didi——"

The red light flashed rapidly, and she stood there, her eye sockets like deep black holes.

Her face lost the vivid vitality at night, as if all the vividness of the night had faded in the day.

[Current mood value:] Xike said.

"Sometimes I just want to think about what I want to do, and I won't compromise for the world. I actually don't like machinery at all.

I saw on the roadside news that many people can engage in the careers they are most interested in because they have the financial resources to try and make mistakes, and the adaptability of the Dawn System can let them go...

But I can't. No family background, no ability, not smart enough. "

She took off the robotic arm with a clang, revealing her arm that was squeezed red by the inappropriate size.

"I have to think about if my relatives are sick, I have to have money to cure them. I have to think about how I will survive if one day this house is forcibly expropriated. I have to have money...

My future is restricted... I dare not explore what I like, I dare not raise my head to look at the sky, I dare not invest in the fields that interest me, I dare not... I dare not think too much. "

She lowered her head, opened the drawer, and pulled out a small wooden box. She opened it with a click, revealing several blood-red flowers inside.

——[Rose blood. 】

Su Mingan has long known that this addictive psychotropic drug is widely used. It is an illegal drug and long-term use can cause death.

In the fringe area, people's lives are extremely difficult. Taking this drug is like a spiritual comfort, allowing them to find comfort in their hallucinations.

Xiao Mei stared at the rose blood in her hand, showing a somewhat crazy smile.

It was the first time that Su Mingan saw this shy girl showing such an imageless smile.

It was as if there were sweet dark clouds fermenting in her chest. She stared at the cold blood-colored flowers in her hands, her eyes as bright as if she had seen heaven.

When she raised her hand to swallow the rose blood, Su Mingan took a step forward and pinched her thin wrist. With a "pop" sound, the rose blood fell to the ground and scattered.

…

…

"That's enough." Su Mingan said, "I'll take you back to Central City."

Xiaomei stared at him.

The madness on her face softened little by little, and she seemed to have recovered from the hallucination.

She must have eaten rose blood more than once, and her mental state has dropped to such a low level that her previous state was obviously abnormal.

"...I just did." She said, "What did I do?"

She immediately saw her father unconscious on the ground and realized what had just happened.

She slowly squatted down, stretched out her pale hands, and picked up the broken rose blood stained with dust bit by bit.

"You said you were going to take me back to Central City...what happens after that? Under the judgment of the Dawn System, can you do favoritism for me, a person with an inferior personality?"

Her eyes gradually became clear and watery:

"As for me?

In what capacity am I accompanying the leader of Central City? I have no scientific knowledge, no advanced personality, and no stable emotions. Are you... trying to arrange a secret lover's identity for me? Or an invisible person without a name? "

Su Mingan let go of his hand.

Xiaomei’s thin wrists were all red.

The leader of a city-state is the one who cannot show favoritism. It is impossible for the Dawn System to allow a person with an inferior personality to enter Central City.

"And." Xiaomei said.

When she said this, she knew that she was personally cutting off her own escape route.

It's not that she doesn't want to follow the city lord, no matter how anonymous she is, it will definitely be better than here.

…But she must not become a burden to the city lord or a hidden danger to the city-state’s credibility.

She doesn't hate the Dawn System. Everything Akto has brought has been a huge change, otherwise everyone would still be living in the [Danger Zone]. If you hate him for this, you are no different from an ungrateful villain.

At this moment, sharp pain surged through her internal organs.

She wanted to reject the road he had paved for her and continue to live in the mud.

...What kind of future does a person like her need?

"You are inviting me now." She said:

"——Is it the sympathy in your heart for a girl, or the real disgust for this system of measuring city-states?"

Su Mingan didn't answer.

…

"Ding dong!"

[Perfect pass (TE2) progress: 55%]

…

"If it's the former, then I'm the only one who appears in front of you, so you sympathize with me, and I'm lucky." Xiaomei said, "If it's the latter...then there are thousands of girls like me. ? City Lord, you can’t see them, will you…will you save them one day?”

After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry." She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm too greedy. You've done a good enough job, and it's too, too embarrassing to ask you to see people like us again."

She was born in the quagmire, but she didn't pull him in like a life-saving straw, and she didn't complain like some residents of the fringe area.

Is this a child who grew up in sewage?

Su Ming'an didn't understand...Why would she be an inferior personality?

"This pistol is for you." He removed a silver pistol from the wheelchair and stuffed it into Xiaomei's hand.

This is the best model from Central City, Treya's proud work. There is a six-pointed star on the gun, which represents hope.

She may not shoot, but she must not not hold a gun.

"...Is it used to commit suicide?" Xiaomei said.

After getting a firearm for self-protection, her first reaction was to commit suicide.

She gripped the handle of the gun, wiped away her tears, and suddenly laughed.

"You're kidding." There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were as clear as streams: "Suicide is also illegal. I will live well until the day I see you perfectly transform the city-state.

On that day, people with inferior personalities can live well, children can be protected, and girls like me can live healthily and grow up in classrooms.

I want to see that day, so, Lord Asa, you must live on...live longer than me. You are much more important than people like me. "

Su Mingan looked at her expectant eyes and turned around.

"I hope you can have the freedom to calm down your emotional overload, repair your personality, and pursue your future," he said.

...Asa Aktor.

Can he bear such hope?

The rose blood in her hand and the chip on the back of her neck were both made by him.

He opened the door and wanted to breathe some fresh air, but he heard noisy voices and footsteps in the distance.

"...According to travellers, someone has seen the Lord of Akto City here."

"...Search house to house and take away those who seek personal gain."

"You guys go this way, Team Three will go over there..."

…
