17, destitute

Although Collin made up his mind to continue doing Berkelammy, the reality was not as he thought. Soon, their small company was driven away from their residence by the landlord because of the inability to maintain rent. Under the high consumption conditions of the solar system, some of their only funds were quickly exhausted.

At first, Colin and Saizhen could still live in a motel and live by eating boxed lunches. But soon, they couldn't afford to even live in a motel and boxed lunches.

The annoyed Saizhen repeatedly proposed to sell Colin's mask and then find a new job, but Colin rejected it. He was still thinking, thinking about the future of Berkelami.

The second month after leaving the townhouse was also the third month after Colin was plotted by Zoyan. On this day, Saizhen took a half-box of pizza to the dilapidated motel. He saw Colin lying alone in the dark corner of the room, wearing a golden mask, motionless. He was like a necrotic robot, and like a Tutankhamun waiting to be dissected.

Sai Zhen called out Colin a few times and asked him to get up to eat, but Colin didn't move. Sai Zhen could no longer bear it. No matter how he was struggling these days, Colin was like nothing happened, lying in bed all day, neither working nor eating and drinking.

Sai Zhen was anxious and had no choice. On this day, he could no longer bear the huge uncertainty. He reached out and picked up Colin's mask, pushed open the door, and walked out with big strides.

However, the moment he went out, he was stopped by a transparent arm. It was Gabriel, which leaned against the door frame and stretched out a hand weakly. Due to poverty, it had not been used to replace the battery for a long time.

"Where are you going?" Colin asked.

"I'm going to sell the mask," Sai Zhen said.

"What should I do if you sell the mask?" Colin asked.

"What should I do?" Sai Zhen said loudly: "You won't go out to see people, who will you show me with a golden mask?"

Colin was speechless and could only say: "You can't take it."

Sai Zhen said: "Now there are only twenty-three credit coins left in our account. The money is not enough to buy a few steamed buns. If we don't sell it, what can we do to survive? Are you shameless and desperate?"

Colin slowly stood up from the ground with the wall, but his thoughts made him stand firm and his body could hardly bear his heavy thinking.

"You can't take it anyway," said Collin. "Since you gave it to me, I have the right to deal with it."

"Then do I have the right to deal with my own destiny?" Sai Zhen said with grief and anger: "Can I change my job? Colin, I've had enough, and Berclemy is over. I don't expect to make a fortune by relying on this. I'm better at finding a company to be a programmer than you!"

"Saizhen..."

Colin looked at his childhood friend and didn't know what to say.

Saijin held the golden mask and pushed Gabriel away his weak arm, then grabbed the door and walked out.

Colin lay on the ground and found the half box of pizza. He randomly stuffed the remaining food in the box into his mouth, and then chased him out with his three weak eyes.

Under the transparent and gorgeous neon lights of Tianla City, Colin swallowed the food with difficulty while stumbled to chase Saizhen in front of him. The pizza was hard to swallow because it was dry, but there was no drop of rain around.

Only the endless stream of suspended cars passed over Collin's head, like countless dreamy light belts. Due to the lack of power, his hearing gradually became lost. The dreamy light belts suddenly lost their sound and turned into a quiet river.

In the hustle and bustle of the city, young people jumped high on electric skateboards. The bright AJ on their feet seemed to prove their existence unscrupulously. However, everyone who jumped at the same time had the same AJ on their feet. Each of them wore gorgeous and personalized coats and became part of the gorgeous light strips of the Ladder City.

Colin stumbled through them, Michael lost his power first, and it fell on Colin's shoulder under the action of the emergency braking system.

Sai Zhen ran farther and farther away. Colin stretched out his hand and wanted to call his name, but his throat was choked by the pizza. A sense of suffocation made him want to cry, which was an impulse brought by the evolutionary instinct of the brain, but he had no eyes, and Gabriel and Lucifer had no function of crying.

He finally fell to the ground with his neck covering his neck, his body twitching violently. Someone on the side noticed something wrong with Colin and came around to support him.

Colin breathed hard, but unfortunately he had no nose and could only breathe with his mouth. While the pizza blocked his esophagus, it also blocked his trachea. He grabbed his throat hard and held two words out of his throat: "Get out... egg..."

The sympathy of others made Collin feel weak and incompetent, and he didn't need such a thing. He only needed Sai Zhen, which was hidden in the answer he longed for. He just couldn't figure out what the answer was for a while.

He covered his neck and rushed out of the crowd, but there were more crowds in front of him. However, they did not specifically stop Colin, but because Fruit Mobile happened to launch the latest product and began to be released. Fans surrounded the square from all directions, that's all.

There is a billboard as high as a building, with colorful banners shaking, which are the advertising slogans of the latest generation of fruit mobile phones.

【Personality, fashion, private customization, make you unique.】

In the advertisement, the young and handsome boys were dancing to the camera, with their frowns, smiles, twists and shakes. Each of them took out mobile phones of different colors, some were red, some were green, some were blue, some were pink, and some were purple.

Fans under the billboard covered their faces and screamed.

Colin stumbled through the crowd, and a woman subconsciously moved her butt away to make way. At the same time, she pointed to the young and handsome boys on the stage and said, "They are really unique! I really like it!"

A man said, "I can't believe that fruits have produced so many colors this time, all of which have never been before!"

There were thousands of people crowded, filling the entire square, and everyone was discussing the latest and most personalized color schemes and handsome endorsement boy groups.

Lucifer ran out of power and landed on Colin's shoulder. Colin's vision became blurred. He separated the crowd hard and chased Sai Zhen in front of him under the pressure of suffocation.

After finally leaving the crowded square of personality, Gabriel could no longer support it and fell on Colin's shoulders.

Finally, he lost his vision and hearing. The darkness and silence like the vacuum of the universe swallowed Colin, and he bumped his head against the iron wall of the city.

.........

In the distance, Sai Zhen ran all the way, and he became more and more sad. Thinking that he and Colin had been dependent on each other for decades. Since the Children's Welfare Home, the two of them have been hanging out together, fighting together, going to school together, eating and drinking together. Now, when he is at the most dangerous and difficult time, he has to leave him alone. This kind of thing doesn't seem like something a normal person can do, after all, Colin is still a disabled person.

As he ran, his steps changed direction and began to run back. The neon spotlights of the city flowed on his face, changing colors. The race was really entangled. How long will this life last?

When he passed by a bank, he subconsciously stopped.

He saw Collin Geyou collapse under the corner of the bank. On his forehead, the advertisement of a fund company was constantly shining in the LED screen - "basic" emotions fluctuate/grasp the "basic" encounter/ "basic" cannot be lost/create the "basic" emotions again.

A red line on the billboard bent and broke through the sky.

Sai Zhen covered her forehead and yelled to the sky.

"ah!!!!!"

His voice was drowned in the surging waves of the Ladder City, and the latest fruit mobile phones in the distance were on sale, and people were in a state of thrill of cheers.
