Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked outside the restaurant:

There are few pedestrians on the messy streets. The shops that were smashed in gang fights because they failed to pay the protection fee in time are in ruins on the opposite side of the street. The shocking blood stains and severed limbs on the dirty steel ground prove that this place once was.

Conflicts that broke out.

Only rats will come to the streets at this moment, licking the blood that has merged with the filth on the ground. They rub their rotten skin on the corpses, spreading all kinds of germs everywhere.

All.

On the shattered glass floor of the smashed shop, several gangsters lay sprawled on the ground. Except for a few who could not feel pain due to loss of life, most of the others were due to fainting or severe injuries.

And unable to act.

Chen Yan, who was missing arms and legs, managed to come back with his life, but Chen Yan was in even more miserable condition, which is simply indescribable, and "shocking" cannot describe their tragic fate.

Chen Yan couldn't help it and used synaesthesia to perceive these unfortunate people.

The result made him very sad.

They - those gangsters lying on the ground, they are not all hopeless bad guys.

Several of them were from Yanan City and were new immigrants who came to Dais Island to work together. Not long after they entered Yanan City, they were forced to go to the island chain before they had even established a foothold in Yanan City.

They cast a blind eye on the island chain. They have no idea what islands there are in the island chain and which island they can make money on. They are confused and brainwashed by the agent's carefully crafted words and sign the contract as soon as their brains get hot.

entered into a labor dispatch agreement.

They quickly tore up the agreement (labor dispatch agreement) they signed with the intermediary because they couldn't make money (the intermediary took too much commission), so they were arrested by gangs colluding with the intermediary, and they were forced to sign a deed of prostitution under coercion and inducement.

You have to serve the gang for a long time before you can redeem the deed of betrayal.

"Sir!"

The young man who died was ignorant in this life and did not know what he had experienced, but Chen Yan knew everything. His experience and knowledge interpreted everything he felt in synaesthesia, and the resulting pain far exceeded any physical pain.

He opened his eyes in the deep sea and looked into the endless abyss. He gave up struggling because of the pain, but there was always a voice calling him in his ears.

Fear arose in his heart, but when he turned his head blankly, he could no longer see his way out.

When Swam felt the emotion contained in his words, the powerful magnetic field generated by the emotional turmoil disappeared.

What made Chen Yan collapse was that his synaesthesia was being activated uncontrollably by Swam, and his raging emotions were about to get out of control again - he had to stop Swam from continuing to mobilize his synaesthesia!

He watched her on the boat, and when she disembarked a few days later, he watched her until her back disappeared from his sight.

Ordinary people are bound to fall for the trap of intermediaries, and the seemingly decent "agreement" is just for selection, not to guarantee anything.

He doesn't know what the meaning of such a life is.

Power was restored to several areas at the bottom of the mechanical hive, and the streets were brightly lit again.

After the era came when Dais Island became the center of the island chain, he secretly boarded a ferry and wanted to go to "the legendary golden Dais Island" with his friends to make a living.

He risked being beaten to death by the ship's police, stole some clothes that would not make him look like a hooligan, and blended in with the people boarding the ship.

By chance, he followed a boss who took good care of him. At the moment of his death, he recalled that this was the greatest luck he had ever experienced in his life.

God is losing control.

Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

This time, his inferiority complex did not turn into ferocity to cover up his inferiority complex, nor did it make him pick up any form of sharp blade.

"You can feel all this because you are a good person."

Although he didn't know that it was happiness and satisfaction, human emotions still overflowed when faced with beauty.

"Sir...what was that just now?"

He has never thought about the meaning of life.

All joys and sorrows are connected, all feelings are completely synchronized, and all experiences are empathetic.

The chaotic emotions reminded him of many things at this moment, so he could no longer control the words when they came to his lips.

The mental pressure released by Swam caused everything around him to collapse. The incredibly powerful biological magnetic field caused a large range of carbon-based life forms around him to lose consciousness and fall into the same sadness as him.

His consciousness that had given up struggling seemed to be awakened by the sound. He began to work hard to hear the sound clearly. Even with only a little effort, the sound became more and more clearly visible——

Chen Yan suddenly recalled that the word "sir" just now seemed to be in a crying tone.

"I, I, I... why is this happening?"

A few days later, as the ferry arrived at Days Island, he stepped on the huge pier of Days Island and felt like he was walking into a huge maze.

Several knives were struck at him, and he lost his life.

Intermediary companies not only pay a large amount of taxes, but are also able to support gangs because they continue to export profits.

And Swam - across the table, Swam was bursting with tears, the muscles on his entire face were trembling, his two eyeballs were spitting out water like faucets, and the muscles on his face were drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He answered her question, happy and satisfied.

The rich material on Dais Island allowed him to live a life several times better than before. He joined a gang and was able to eat clean food. Although most of the food was plastic packaged food, it was better than the vines under the dock.

pot.

The huge sense of tearing between the completely synchronized synaesthesia and his own memory made Chen Yan almost have a mental breakdown.

He just died.

He is not lucky, just like an ordinary person, he will not be lucky a few times in his life.

The world did not have half a ripple as a result.

At the moment when he saw the girl, he recalled that he had experienced such inferiority when he was a child.

Apart from these new immigrants from Yanan, the remaining one made Chen Yan even more sad.

They are even protected by most powers -

He looked into His eyes.

He didn't do this.

This man was an orphan born on an island in the first island chain - he became an orphan just after he was born. He was dumped in the vomit of drunkards next to the bar. The priest of the Holy Light Church used cat milk to retrieve one.

He suffered from pain and loneliness for the rest of his life.

Chen Yan made his last effort before he couldn't bear it anymore.

These experiences all come from a certain corpse piled in a corner.

This morning, the loyal boss told him that another gang was coming to take over their territory and they had to fight back.

He just looked at her from a distance.

What happened to Swarm...

He knew the cabin where the girl was, and he could easily unlock the cabin door with the soft steel wire wrapped around his wrist. He could sneak into the cabin in the middle of the night, drug her, and use it on her just like he did every time he slept with the girl before.

powerful.

"Swam."

He deliberately used "human" instead of "people" to distinguish ordinary humans from Swam. He also emphasized the human attributes of the deceased, hoping to tell Swam that those are not your emotions.

You can completely avoid being affected by such emotions!

Whenever he heard the sound of barnacles on the dock piles, he would become irritated and frightened. He vowed that he would work hard for the gang, stand out, and never eat such disgusting things in his life.

He was quickly swallowed up by huge despair, like a person who can't swim drowning in the deep sea.

"That's the life of an ordinary human being."

Do you... know what suffering is?

Chen Yan wants to say that this is not the case. Although people are living in hardship, the world is constantly getting better, productivity is constantly developing, and people will live better and better lives. That future is already around the corner...

After Chen Yan finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, and then he fell on the table.

"Do ordinary people... have to endure such suffering?"

He didn't treat the girl like he treated anyone before.

When his consciousness returned, he realized that his heart was beating wildly and he was breathing heavily. The clothes underneath were almost completely soaked with sweat, and the soaring adrenaline made his body almost crazy.

He clearly remembered that he was sitting in the last row of the church, flipping through the torn scriptures out of boredom, when a woman in black who looked like a "mother" walked in. The woman was not beautiful.

, but being very kind to him, she asked him where the priest was and when the afternoon prayers would begin.

It was a not-so-sunny afternoon. The air pressure on the island was very low. There were seaspouts raging on the horizon. The island was calm and the sea was calm. The temperature was terrifyingly high. The sultry heat made everything wet.

He did not express his love in his own unique way.

That is a number that is enough to make them despair, but they can reluctantly accept it under the threat of death, and it is enough for them to fight for many, many years - but it is not completely hopeless.

The second love in his life ended.

The five areas of the mechanical hive, A, B, C, D, and E, lost power at the same time. All electronic equipment lost their ability to work as if they had been affected by some kind of weak electromagnetic pulse. Almost one-fifth of the area of ​​the mechanical hive fell into chaos.

It was so dark that even the rising sun at dawn couldn't illuminate it.

The entrance to the maze was at his feet, but the exit was nowhere to be found.
To be continued...
