Chapter 10 Don't forget you're on strike
The dumped debris filled the small area around the corner, and Su Jing had to slow down and crossed the debris. Even so, he quickly chased the escaped man - a child.
"Yijie? What are you doing here?" Su Jing asked in surprise, holding the child's collar.
Although it was the first time we met, Su Jing guessed who he was when he saw the child's face, and at the same time understood what the vendors and the netizen meant.
Apart from film and television works, he has never seen such a miserable child.
His face is pale, his hair is dry and sparse, his hairline is extremely high, and his forehead is exposed, his two eye sockets are blue and purple, and there are also purple or small scratches on the other part of his face, and his lips are dry and chapped, especially those eyes, despair, hatred, anger, pain, and loneliness... Su Jing seems to be able to find all the negative emotions in the world in those eyes.
The child who was held in his hand looked at him blankly, not knowing whether he was scared or unwilling to answer.
Su Jing let him put him on the ground, and even waved his hands and feet to let him stand.
"You are Yijie, right?" He said relaxed tone, squatted down and said to the child in the tone of a kindergarten teacher.
Yijie blinked.
"Ph". Spoiled out.
Su Jing dodged, then looked at the saliva stars on the ground and remained silent.
He found it very troublesome.
This child looks about ten years old, so he can't beat him. No matter how he says he is, he is just a child. Coax him? Looking at his cold little eyes, I'm afraid that buying him a car of lollipops will be useless.
Yan Yi, who arrived, whispered beside him: "He is just a child, although he looks a little... miserable."
Su Jing said angrily: "You look miserable? If his parents didn't abuse him, no matter how miserable he was, he wouldn't be like this."
Yan Yi corrected it seriously: "No, he is just miserable. His mother has passed away, and his father is really bad to him, but I have observed it secretly for two days, and he seems to have never abused the child."
Su Jing was a little amused and crying, "Is he born like this? Ah? Two blue circles?"
"...Well... Pandas still have dark circles... Maybe this is also a genetic mutation?..."
Just as the two of them were discussing, Yijie suddenly held Su Jing's hand and bit it hard.
Su Jing was bitten suddenly, and let out a "yo" sound, shook his hand, Yijie fell to the ground, got up and ran out. Su Jing had already lifted up again with his clothes.
"Dare to bite me? I'm very brave! I didn't plan to do anything to you, but I didn't expect you to be so excited! I said, "What are you doing here sneakily? If you don't say it, I'll take you to feed the wild dogs." Su Jing frightened.
Yijie struggled barely in his hands for a few times, and realized that it was impossible to escape again, then shouted loudly: "I didn't do anything. These things were mine. I built this base, and I could do whatever I wanted."
"Your? Where did you get these rags? They are older than you."
"I picked it up. They don't want it anymore. They threw it in the garbage dump. I picked it up."
Su Jing put Yijie on the ground, "Little brat, remember to study hard and improve every day, what base is there for such a big play."
"You want to care?"
"Oh, still talking back? I'm educating you..."
Yijie rubbed his nose, suddenly stretched out his legs and kicked Su Jing.
Su Jing didn't hide this time. Looking at the small shoe prints on his pants, he reached out to hold Yijie's front bra and lifted him up.
"Believe it or not, I will beat you up?"
"You are crazy... you are a big fool..." Yijie shook his legs desperately and cursed.
Su Jing frowned. There are such naughty kids in the world...
"Don't forget you're on strike." Yan Yi reminded again next to him, "So young, without any effort."
"Which eye did you see me hit him?" Su Jing glared at him and put Yijie on the ground, "Go away quickly, if you don't leave, I will beat you up."
Yijie pouted and snorted as if he was vague, and was about to walk in the direction Su Jingyan Yi came.
Su Jing said: "Don't go, your dad won't drink there today."
When Yijie heard this, he stopped and stood there in a daze, then lowered his head and walked back slowly in extreme desolation.
Loneliness, weakness, and helpless...
Su Jing's heart moved, took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a few banknotes and handed it to him, "Didn't you have lunch? Take it for you. Take it and go to the street to buy something."
The boy looked up at Su Jing's eyes and made sure that Su Jing had not lie to him. He suddenly quickly grabbed the money and kicked Su Jing again. He ran away without looking back, leaving Su Jing depressed in the same place.
"Forget it if you don't say thank you, you'll kick me? This is such a naughty kid."
"You came here to find him?" Yan Yi asked curiously.
"No." Su Jing replied briefly and began to observe the surroundings.
It was indeed the alley yesterday, but all the debris eaten by mercury stayed in the place where they should be.
"What are you looking for?" Yan Yi asked, "Tell me, maybe I can find it for you."
"mercury."
"mercury?"
"...A big piece of mercury that can move can also eat people...it can also eat ghosts and wood and bricks."
Yan Yi was silent for a while, "Is there something like that in the world? I have seen animals become monsters, but mercury becomes monsters..."
"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you." Su Jing made a gesture of "please give in" to him, and then followed yesterday's old road.
Everything here is not damaged, so yesterday, after stepping into the corner, I entered the mirror space? Or did I enter the mirror space from the first second I entered this world?
He suddenly remembered that when he walked out of the debris, there seemed to be a sound in the air. Perhaps, all the changes began after he walked through the corner. The sound at that time should be the prompt sound of the on-duty staff, but it was blocked by K.
The on-duty administrator took some time and finally sent him a message normally, the mercury suddenly appeared...
Su Jing suddenly remembered that before Mercury appeared, he once said a prompt, "Leave there immediately after the general administrator level order." As soon as he encountered that piece of mercury, they made a judgment? Are those people quick-thinking and decisive behavior? Or did they know that something extremely dangerous would happen?
Maybe from the beginning, I was plotted by a critical company.
"Where were you last evening?" Su Jing asked while observing along the road.
"Ask me?"
"nonsense."
Yan Yi thought for a while and replied: "Last evening? I was in the neighborhood outside, watching people fight."
Su Jing asked: "About when?"
"Dinner time, it didn't last until it was dark. A man was found by his wife when he was looking for a mistress. The mistress was a widow in the neighboring building... so the two women started fighting."
Su Jing asked again: "Apart from this, are there any abnormalities? For example, I heard someone fighting in the clamping passage here?"
Yan Yi shook his head: "No. Everything is pretty normal. Are you fighting with that piece of mercury?"
Su Jing said frankly: "Yes. I can't beat it."
“…………”
As the two of them were talking, they had already walked to the area outside the community outside the alley.
Today's community is normal, with people coming and going, and there are many students who come home for lunch after school and joking on the road. From time to time, one or two heads stretched out from the windows of the building next to the road and shouted loudly, "Xiaowen, stop playing, come back for dinner!" "Xixi, by the way, I'll help me buy a bag of salt at the sales store downstairs!"
The old range hoods that could be seen everywhere in the early century emitted oil smoke outside the building, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various food, which was really different from the empty community like a cemetery yesterday.
