Chapter 35 Pigeon Cage, Weird Photo
The other side.
Lu Yuan had already left the roof.
His figure was like a hawk, flying through the night quickly, arriving at a low-rent house by a familiar route.
Say it’s a house.
In fact, in order to improve the utilization rate of building area, the size of the room is similar to that of a pigeon cage.
The smallest single room is no more than two square meters.
I could barely put down a single bed, and I had to curl up at night, unable to straighten my legs.
Therefore, this kind of single room is also jokingly called a coffin room by ordinary people.
But the good thing is it’s free.
As long as they are orphans under the age of 18, they can apply for free.
If you are a single adult, you want to rent a single room like this.
The rent alone costs five thousand yuan a month!
And another room type.
It is one bedroom and one living room, only ten square meters in size.
No air conditioning, no water heater, no washing machine.
The kitchen, toilet and bathroom are all shared.
The family is like sardines in a can, squeezed into this small room.
That’s it.
One month’s rent costs about 10,000 yuan!
And only rented to families with children!
Singles who want to rent are not eligible!
And in accordance with imperial law.
If you are a family with multiple children, you can also get a portion of the rent reduced.
If you are a family with three children or more, not only is there no charge, but there is additional housing subsidy.
so.
In low-rent housing.
You can often see a strange sight.
The more difficult a family is, the more enthusiastic they are about having children.
Because as long as one child can become a simulator, it can change the fate of the entire family!
Looking at the familiar environment and everything.
A trace of recollection appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Eight years ago, he fled here from Linhai City and finally found a place to stay.
Although it is just a small coffin room, it is better than living everywhere.
Due to the shortage of manpower in the Public Security Department.
This area of low-rent housing has a population of more than 5,000 people, but there are no simulators stationed there.
Ordinary people can only curl up in bed with a thick quilt, gritting their teeth and enduring the erosion and torture of darkness.
Only when law enforcement officers from the Sheriff's Department pass by.
Only then can they feel the warmth for a moment.
But when Lu Yuan arrives.
Many people noticed something unusual.
It seems to be much warmer tonight than before?
Lu Yuan climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor, and then walked towards the innermost house on the left.
Standing at the door of the house.
He took out the key.
Skillfully unlocked the door.
"Squeak!"
The door opened.
The sound is not loud.
But in the silent darkness, it seems particularly harsh.
In this strange and rampant apocalypse.
Ordinary people don’t dare to sleep too deeply, and are usually half asleep and half awake.
As soon as I heard a sound.
The residents on this floor woke up immediately and quietly pulled out a kitchen knife or weapon from under the bed.
It wasn’t until they saw Lu Yuan’s familiar figure through the gap in the window that they felt relieved.
at the same time.
Some people with quick minds immediately thought of one thing.
After night falls.
Only simulators can come and go freely at night.
But Lu Yuan returned late at night, but was not eroded and threatened by the darkness.
This means.
He has successfully passed The Sims and became an official simulator!
Thinking of this possibility, everyone’s heart beat hard!
So.
One after another, candlelight lit up one after another.
Because there is no spiritual rail formation guarding the outer city, many infrastructure facilities cannot be used at night.
Only expensive special fire candles can illuminate the darkness.
“We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Xiao Yuan is getting more and more handsome as he grows. No wonder my daughter is always thinking about you.”
“Xiao Feng, come here and say hello to your brother Lu Yuan. "A middle-aged man held a candle and winked at his daughter.
But he, who was determined to train his daughter into a social butterfly, completely forgot about it.
Three years ago.
His daughter just said a few words to Lu Yuan, and he locked her up at home for three days without being able to go out.
"Ayuan, are you coming back so late? Are you hungry? How about Aunt Wang cook you a midnight snack?"
"Aunt Wang did something wrong in the past, can you? Don’t take it to heart.”
A middle-aged woman with a sinewy face stood at the door and said nervously.
Lu Yuan glanced at her calmly.
During the Spring Festival last year.
I passed by their house after school because I accidentally smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen.
She was caught and scolded for more than half a month.
But it's the same fierce-looking shrew.
Now with a shy and flattering smile on her face, she warmly invited Lu Yuan to her house for dinner.
If it were Lu Yuan from before.
Maybe there will be a scene where the Dragon King returns and pretends to be a slap in the face.
But now.
With decades of experience in simulation, he has long lost his vulgar taste.
For this group of neighbors who bully the weak and fear the strong, and are arrogant at first and respectful at the other.
The best way is to ignore it.
Lu Yuan opened the door.
In a small, dimly lit room.
There was only a bed and no other furniture.
Lu Yuan squatted down.
Take out an iron box from under the bed.
There were more than two thousand banknotes inside, some certificates and certificates, and a yellowed photo.
Yellowing in photos.
More than thirty children stood at the door of an old building with bright smiles on their faces.
On the building plaque, there are five big characters engraved.
Shuguang Welfare Institute.
But the moment Lu Yuan came into contact with this photo.
The whole photo seemed to be on fire, suddenly burning violently, with black smoke billowing out.
What seemed like an ordinary photo at first was now like a red-hot iron in my hand.
Lu Yuan's hand shook and he subconsciously threw the photo on the ground.
However, this fire looks terrifying, but in fact it cannot cause any damage to everything around it.
A few seconds later.
Everything is back to normal.
When Lu Yuan looked at the photo again, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
A chill rose from his tailbone and went straight to Tianling Gai.
In the photo, there is only one person except myself.
All the children's faces slowly disappeared, and in the end only a group of weird faceless people remained!
“What the hell is going on?”
"Why do their faces disappear?"
Lu Yuan stared at the photo and felt a chill to his bones.
He traveled to this world eight years ago.
And.
For some reason, he knew very little about his memories before he was ten years old.
In the messy fragments of memory.
He only vaguely remembered that Shuguang Welfare Home was suddenly devoured by a fire one day.
Fires shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
While people were running away.
The amiable old dean suddenly thrust this photo into his hand.
and told him.
This photo is very important.
No matter what the situation, be sure to take this photo with you.
The other party’s tone was serious and his eyes were firm, as if he was entrusting an important mission to save the world.
Lu Yuan is still fresh in his memory.
So many years.
Lu Yuan would take this photo with him whether he was fleeing or moving.
This time he just finished the simulation and returned to his previous low-rent house for this reason.
What Lu Yuan didn’t expect was.
This seemingly ordinary group photo turned out to have such a shocking turn of events!
