On his wrist, a thin iron chain hung a shiny iron plate. Qin Yi reached out and flipped over the small iron plate with his name written on it, Rust.

In addition to his name, there is also his birthday, 12.31.

Why did you come here? Was that guy the one who did it?

Qin Yi looked around and the breath emitted by the slum was exactly the same as in memory, as if this was not an illusion, but reality.

Just as Qin Yi was trying to think about the current situation, a small head was poked out at the door of the apartment in front of him. Most of her body was hidden behind the door, and her eyes looked at Qin Yi timidly.

The moment Qin Yi saw the other party, he froze, his heart was grabbed, something deep in his memory was moved, and the details sealed in the depths of his memory surged up like a tide.

He opened his eyes wide, his eyes slightly red, and three vague syllables came out of his throat.

“Ah…man…da?”

The blonde girl with little freckles and who had been following her all the time suddenly became clear in Qin Yi's memory.

The child who has always trusted herself, the cowardly and gentle, timid and brave, the child he could not take away in the end... She is now in front of her.

"Amanda, what are you doing here?" A young boy's voice came from behind the door.

Immediately afterwards, a boy with curly brown hair appeared beside Amanda. He frowned, his eyes pretending to be fierce, and his eyes were squinting.

He followed Amanda's eyes and saw Qin Yi standing next to the garbage dump, frowned.

Is he an Asian? He is about the same age as himself, but he is even more embarrassed than himself. Jack stared at Qin Yi and thought.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want help?"

After waiting for a few seconds, the other party did not speak, and Jack then remembered that this Asian person might not speak English.

"Yes, I need help." Qin Yi suddenly spoke.

Jack thought for a moment, turned around and ran into the apartment. After about three minutes, he ran out again. A girl about sixteen or seventeen years old came out with him. She had a scar on her cheek. If it weren't for this scar, she would be a very beautiful girl.

She looked at Qin Yi and raised her chin slightly at him.

"Come in."

...

The basement of this apartment, with dim incandescent lights illuminating the empty basement, dust drifting in the light, the air is dry, but if it is close to the wall, it will feel wet.

The walls of the basement are covered with black mold spores, which are caused by years of moisture and leakage. If you stay here for a long time, your lungs will easily have problems.

Qin Yi was stripped naked and placed in a cracked bathtub. This bathtub was actually not considered a bathtub at all. I don’t know where I picked it up. The corners were broken, and the edges of the water outlet were covered with yellow dirt.

This bathtub is just a container they use to release water.

Qin Yi squatted inside naked, waiting quietly for the upcoming shower. He knew what would happen next.

Elsa, the oldest girl, was asking for hot water from the tenant upstairs, and she wanted to mix a few basins of warm water to bathe him.

When Qin Yi had just come here, he took a shower for the first time. He was still complaining about the simplicity of the bathing environment, but later he realized that this was already a very high-end treatment. Usually, they didn’t need to take a bath in warm water, but took a shower in cold water.

Even the frequency of bathing is extremely low.

It was a great luck for them to live in the basement of this apartment. The landlord was a kind person and had some relationship with their previous boss, Rotte, so they did not ask for their rent, so they could still live here even after Rotte died.

At least they still have a place to shelter from the wind and rain now.

However, these are not important to Qin Yi. All of this may be just his fantasy. His biggest problem now is why he is here.
