Chapter 8 Why

[Uechin Chi, male, 26 years old, from Xiugang City. He is currently living alone in a cheap rental apartment at No. 76 Daoyuan Road, Xiyuan District, Baiye City...]

Just after class, Li Ming lay on the green fence with a lollipop in his mouth. While recalling the information about Uesugi Chi in the material, he combined it with the situation he followed and investigated yesterday, and thus a comprehensive overview of the characters was initially obtained.

Uesugi Chi is obsessed with painting art and regards it as his life ideal. It is precisely because he almost fanatical pursuit of his dreams that he naturally had an irreconcilable conflict with his family as a fisherman.

After graduating from high school, because his family did not have enough money to support him in an art school with high tuition, and coupled with the abuse and insults from his father, Uesugi Chichi stole all the cash deposits in his family and ran away from home to Shiraha City.

Judging from the past few years since I came to Shirata City, Uesugi Chi's life is very simple.

I don’t have a mobile phone or a bank account, and I only rely on my daily salary and the occasional money for selling paintings to earn my own living expenses and painting costs.

In addition to painting and necessary work, his life was really simple.

This kind of life lasted until three months ago, a hit-and-run car accident caused a comminuted fracture of Uesugi Chi. Because of this, he had to receive 50,000 yuan in usury loans from Brother Zong to treat his illness.

The loan has been overdue for more than a week now.

During this week, it was not that no one had asked for this account or used violent means to collect debts, but when everyone saw Uesugi Chi, they felt a sense of powerlessness.

Uesugi Chi did not use all the usury loan of 50,000 yuan for treatment.

The hospital bill shows that the guy only spent about 20,000 yuan on medical expenses, while the rest was spent on buying food, water, paint, rent, paper and brushes.

He also beat him and looked for his parents. The parents said that if he was dead, he would kill him directly if he had the ability.

Kill him, it’s really unpaid for the sake of this money. Leave it alone, and this money is destined to be a bad debt.

Yesterday, when Li Ming saw Uesugi Chiui with his address, he found that he was very different from the photos in the file.

Uesugi Chien was dragging a leg that was completely scrapped because of incomplete treatment. His head was covered with yellow fur. The shirt under the jacket, which should have been white, had turned into brown-gray mixed with yellow oil stains, and there were scabs on his face, which had been slightly oozing bloody scars because of the muscle twitching.

Sitting in a sloppy and outdated position at the market stall, Uesugi Chie first held his right leg that could not be curled up with both hands, and then began to sell his paintings that he had never been interested in for.

When Li Ming saw Uesugi Chi's numb and cold eyes, he knew what kind of person he was - he was a person who dedicated all the beating blood in his heart to his dreams and faith, but was desperate because of reality.

Uesugi Chiu's unsuccessfulness and downfall, Li Ming didn't care or was too lazy to care. What Li Ming cared about is how to squeeze out 50,000 yuan of oil and water from this almost ruined person in five days.

Is it despicable? Maybe.

But in this world of jungle law, the characters at the bottom of the food chain are destined to be used to eat.

And Li Ming is the python covered with bright patterns that had long been hungry.

"Li Ming, why are you lying here alone?" Just as Li Ming was thinking a little dazed, a slightly familiar voice came from beside him.

Looking along the source of the sound, a cute girl with a bow on her head and a plaid skirt was holding her hands behind her back, smiling and greeting Li Ming.

Li Ming didn't have a clear memory that only the girl's name and some vague clips.

"Zhuang Ruoling, is there anything wrong?" After Li Mingluo recalled, he politely called out the girl's name in front of him and said, "I'm just stunned for a while."

"It's nothing. Didn't this just finish the qualification test? I just wanted to ask you what plans do you have in the future?" Zhuang Ruoling carefully concealed his truest emotions, then approached Li Ming and lay on the railing, and said with a red face.

Li Ming smiled and shook his head and said, "What can I do? In fact, in my opinion, qualifications do not necessarily mean that it is a good thing."

"Ah? Why?" Zhuang Ruoling looked at Li Ming, who was not very delicate, but had a very scented side face and continued in confusion, "With the qualifications, you can apply for the extraordinary school. After taking [Awakening Potion] to activate the extraordinary ability, you can receive subsidies every month, and you will be assigned a job after you come out. This is a good thing no matter how you look at it, right?"

Thinking of the relevant information in memory, Li Ming curled his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you say that if you want to enjoy this privilege, you must accept the implantation of chips? I don't like that feeling."

In this world, extraordinary abilities have appeared for about fifty years.

After ten years of the beginning of chaos, society has now formed a complete system for the extraordinary.

Except for the extremely rare innate awakened people, everyone can use blood extraction to conduct qualification testing after the age of 18.

After entering the extraordinary academy, people with talent will uniformly issue [Awakening Potion] under the guidance of their teachers to awaken extraordinary abilities.

After the extraordinary ability awakens, subsidies will be paid according to registration. After graduation, they will also receive [professional allowances], which can be said to be generous.

But at the same time, due to the instability of extraordinary abilities, while receiving this generous treatment, a chip is also needed to be inoculated on the neck.

Just as those in power will not allow children to hold guns, the extraordinary is no exception.

After the chip is implanted, a shape similar to the eye formed by geometric figures on the surface of the skin will form an eye-like shape, so it is also called [Extraordinary Eye]. Its main function is to record the body characteristics and geographical location of the inoculated body. When needed, specific data analysis tools can be used to analyze when, where, and emotional state the inoculation person has used extraordinary abilities.

"This method is also for everyone's good. Look at how messy it was before." Zhuang Ruoling frowned, not understanding Li Ming's thoughts very much.

Li Ming felt the candy that was smaller in his mouth, stretched his waist, inserted his hands into his pockets and explained, "Although I understand that this kind of technical means is a necessary means to maintain the basic operation of society, I really feel a little disgusted with being monitored."

After all, the things I have to do cannot be exposed to the sun in a blatant way. Moreover, the father of this girl named Zhuang is still a policeman...

Speaking of this topic, Li Ming couldn't help but look like Chiu Uesugi in his mind again.

Let alone whether the matter of force is useful or not, you have no capital for force.

Even if there is, this guy is basically a bad life now.

So I can only start with the attributes of his society [people] and use fraudulent means!

"Brother Ming, I've been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?" At the end of the corridor, Wang Bohua arrived at Li Ming's figure and trotted over with joy.

When he walked to Li Ming, he saw Zhuang Ruoling standing aside and staring at him angrily, Wang Bohua scratched his head nervously, and then said with a silly smile, "Ruoling, you are here too, haha, what a coincidence."

Knowing that his friend had some feelings for this girl named Zhuang Ruoling, Li Ming stretched his body tactfully, then stepped forward and said, "By the way, I have something to do. You two have to talk, I'll leave first."

Looking at Li Ming's figure about to leave, Zhuang Ruoling blushed anxiously and shouted subconsciously, "That...Li Ming... please wait a little longer?"

Hearing the shouts, Li Ming stopped in confusion, turned around and looked at Zhuang Ruoling and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Zhuang Ruoling, with a pink face, gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage, then reached out and pulled the third button from the school uniform, then held it in the palm of her hands, lowered her head and handed it to Li Ming, "Please accept it!"
