With the gun pointed at her head, Sophia did not dare to move.
She clearly felt that the gun on her head was trembling slightly, and the other party was obviously very nervous.
Sophia wisely did not make any unnecessary moves.
This kind of guy who blocks roads and robs may seem timid, but in fact he is the most dangerous!
If you are a veteran who can hold a steady gun, have a stable mentality, and know very well what can and cannot be done, you will carefully control the risks within a certain range, and will not be ruthless unless it is absolutely necessary.
But this timid jackal is different.
This kind of person has a very complicated mentality. He is nervous, scared, timid, and cruel at the same time. He has no self-control in doing things. At the slightest sign of trouble, he will easily act recklessly and cruelly, regardless of the consequences.
——This is actually what the Chinese often say, it is best not to mess with raw melons and eggs, which means the same thing.
The man stared at Sophia with a gun, his hands were shaking. Sophia took a deep breath and did not resist, made no unnecessary movements, and did not try to pull out the pistol inserted in the holster under her arm.
He opened the door very slowly and got out of the car.
As her boots stepped on the sandy road, Sofia looked at the other person carefully.
In addition to the woman who was acting as bait in the middle of the road, and the guy who pointed the gun at himself, there was another person on the other side.
A thin man leaned out from the ramp on the side of the road, holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at himself.
The clothes of these three guys are very shabby, especially the two men, who are dirty.
The woman had a turban on her head and a cloth skirt that looked like a gypsy style.
These three people are all dressed in standard tramp attire.
Thinking of this, Sophia's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the car in front of her.
At this time, Sofia got out of the car and got closer, and she saw clearly that there was blood on the driver's seat of the car in front of her.
There was a corpse lying at the foot of the slope on the side of the road: an old man was lying on the foot of the slope, his body turned sideways, with a hole in his head.
Obviously, the car on the roadside was not owned by these three thugs - it was also robbed by these people.
I'm afraid I just bumped into it by chance.
Sophia was pushed hard and staggered forward a few steps. Then the woman ran over quickly, searched Sophia, and soon found the holster under her arm under her coat and took the gun away.
.
Sophia sighed.
I saw the little boy Seed get out of the car and walk to the side of the road, where he was pointed at by the gun in the hand of the thin thug...
Sophia whispered: "Don't be nervous, we don't need to resist.
Do you need a car?
You can drive this car away.
There was some food in the car and a little cash in the passenger cabinet.
This is all my stuff, you can take it.
Hear about me!
You can take these away, I won't resist.
There is no need for you to hurt anyone."
Whether it is years of travel experience or experience in the military.
According to Western customs, what Sophia is doing now is undoubtedly the wisest thing to do when being threatened by a gangster with a gun: don't try to provoke the gangster.
The thin gangster didn't pay much attention to the seemingly young Seed. He quickly ran to Sophia's car, opened the door and searched for a while.
"Found it!"
The man excitedly found a few turned-out bills and shook them: "There is some food and water in the back row."
"It's a pity, the money is too little." The woman among the gangsters shook her head, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.
"I only brought so much." Sofia tried her best to use a gentle tone: "This car can still be sold for some money."
The woman's eyes changed several times.
"I installed the car radio in the car myself. You can disassemble it and find a thrift store to sell it for some money." Sofia tried her best to persuade these attitudes: "I will also give you my mobile phone.
These are all my valuables.
Seriously, there's no need to hurt us.
Not to mention there is a child.”
"Claire! What do you say?"
The thin man stood beside the car and asked loudly.
"Shut up, idiot! Let Claire make the decision!" The man pointing the gun at Sophia shivered nervously.
These three people are not habitual criminals. They obviously got the guns out of nowhere and came here to make some money.
But after accidentally killing the last car owner, the three of them were on the verge of collapse.
That woman was the calmest one and gritted her teeth hard.
In her hand she held the gun recovered from Sophia.
Suddenly, the woman's face turned cold, she raised her hand and pulled the trigger on Sophia!
Bang!!
Sophia was shaken and fell directly to the ground!
The shot hit her on the left side of the abdomen. She curled up into a ball and felt as if she had been punched hard - this feeling was exactly the same as when she was accidentally shot a few years ago.
Warm blood soon flowed out from under his body.
"Ah..." Sophia screamed in pain, a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
"She saw what we looked like!" The female gangster looked pale and said in a nervous tone: "We killed people! And she saw what we looked like! If you don't want to be caught by the police, you have no choice but to kill her!
And this little one!·
Mark, kill him!"
The young thin man trembled, but screamed: "Oh God! Claire! I don't want to kill the child!!"
As he spoke, the muzzle of the gun pointing at the seeds in his hand trembled desperately.
Zi Zi raised his eyelids and looked at this person calmly, then frowned slightly, walked slowly to Sophia's side, bent down, and looked at Sophia.
Sofia's body twitched and she covered the muzzle of the gun with all her strength, but blood still continued to flow from her fingers. Her eyes were weak, and when she scanned the seeds, she shouted in a low voice as if instinctively: "Run, run, run, run
run……"
seed:"…………"
"mark!!"
The female gangster screamed: "Kill him!"
The skinny gangster's expression was distorted, he raised his gun and waved the muzzle around, but he finally put down the gun with a distorted face and said loudly: "No! I can't do it!! Damn it!! Claire, this is still a child!!"
"
"Disso! Come on!" the female gangster yelled at the other man.
The man gritted his teeth, picked up the gun, and pointed the gun at the seed.
Seed turned a blind eye and just frowned at Sophia, who was lying on the ground shaking.
After hesitating for a moment, Seed reached out and held Sophia's hand.
Sofia's eyes gradually lost focus, and then her fingers tightened tightly on Seed's hand - this was an instinctive move.
Just like a drowning person, he will subconsciously grab anything.
"Damn it! I can't do it either!"
The male gangster finally put down his gun and looked at the female gangster as if asking for help: "Claire..."
"Two losers!" The female gangster seemed to be the most ruthless backbone among the three, and said fiercely: "Diso, you weakling! You usually yell the most fiercely, but when it comes to the critical moment, you are just as useless as Mark.
!Don’t even think about climbing into my bed again!”
As she spoke, the female gangster gritted her teeth, raised her gun and pointed it at Seed.
"Why?" Zizi suddenly raised his head, looked at the female gangster named Claire, and asked softly.
"...What did you say? Little guy?" the female gangster said fiercely: "Turn your head away! Don't fucking look at me like that! Turn around!!"
"I said...why?"
Seed seemed to sigh softly, as if he was asking, and as if he was talking to himself: "You... are already the most advanced beings on this planet.
But why do you like killing and plundering each other so much?
If it is for a more noble reason...such as the evolution and advancement of life...such plundering can be understood in the cosmic civilization.
But you... seem to regard killing and looting as commonplace...
To you, killing and looting can be initiated for any inconspicuous reason.
A quarrel, an emotion, for a mating right, or for a little property...
It might even be because I suddenly felt uncomfortable watching something...
Actually, this is something that I have always had a hard time understanding.”
Seed's voice was clear and light, even with a childlike voice unique to his physical age, and his eyes stared at the female gangster quietly.
"Higher beings are doing all kinds of behavioral logic of low-level beings. It's really very contradictory.
You need money... well, let's just say it's to grab supplies for survival.
However, I know very well that even if you grab this car and some money, you will not regard these materials as a bargaining chip to change your destiny.
The car you grabbed today will be sold for a little money.
But you won’t consciously use this money in the right place... to change your destiny, change your life level, social status, etc...
No! You won’t!
You will be eager to use this money to buy alcoholic beverages or even some special drugs that can anesthetize yourself.
Then he hides in a dirty place where he temporarily hides, and uses alcohol and drugs to anesthetize himself so that he can have a moment of pleasure.
Then, you uselessly squander and waste the money you obtained at the expense of killing and plundering.
After you squander it, you will still be you, and you will not change anything about yourself.
It's still dirty, useless, garbage-like waste.
So I'm curious...
Beings like you who have the appearance of advanced beings, but act with the behavioral logic of lower beings...
What’s the point?”
Claire stared at the child in front of her in stunned silence.
This child is undoubtedly weird and weird.
But it has a strange attraction about it.
Even she herself didn't understand why she was so stunned, listening to this child finish such a conversation.
"Although it was just an accident from the beginning, I didn't consciously want to help you...
But at this moment, I have to say it.
As the founding god of your world and this advanced life...
I’m really a little disappointed.”
Zizi sighed softly: "This kind of disappointment is like baking a box of cookies, only to find that after taking a bite, they smell moldy."
Saying that, Zi Zi shook his head.
Plop!
Plop! Plop!!
In an instant, the three gangsters suddenly fell to the ground without saying a word!
Without warning, the three people fell to the ground without making any sound, and the guns in their hands fell to the ground. They even stopped breathing and their heartbeat stopped at the same time!
Zizi did not raise his head to look at the three gangsters again, but gently leaned down and looked at Sophia again.
"The bullet pierced your intestines and tore open your left kidney, causing severe internal bleeding.
If nothing else happens, you will lose consciousness within a few minutes and then die."
Sophia was speechless. The fingers that originally held the seed in her hand had loosened weakly, and her eyes had begun to wander...
"But fortunately, I think you are a good person."
Zizi sighed softly: "Of the four humans I met in one day... one was pretty good.
Does this mean that I, the founding god, am not a complete failure?"
After saying that, he turned back and glanced at the three lifeless gangsters on the ground, and then his eyes moved slightly.
Soon, the bodies of the three gangsters quickly dried up, and the vital blood was extracted by invisible forces and fell into the hands of the seeds.
"This is the value of killing and plundering!
Eliminate useless waste and give the vitality of survival to useful existences..."
Blood flowed slowly into Sophia's body. The wounds on the woman's abdomen healed rapidly, and the internal organs that were punctured and torn also grew rapidly.
With a snap, a deformed bullet fell out of her wound, and was picked up by the seed and thrown away.
In less than half a minute, Sophia suddenly trembled and took a long breath!
His distracted eyes regained focus.
The woman suddenly climbed up from the ground and sat up, panting heavily, looking around in horror!
At this moment, two cars were parked on the road in the wilderness.
There were three withered corpses on the road, and another corpse under the ramp next to it...
A thin-looking boy looked at himself with a smile...
This scene looks so weird!!
Sophia felt her scalp numb, and she tried hard not to scream.
Covering his mouth with both hands, he took deep breaths to control his crazy emotions.
After a long time, Sophia looked at the seeds and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Sid...you...you...are you...God?"
Zizi smiled, blinked, and took out a biscuit from his pocket.
"Want to eat a piece to calm down the shock?"
·
Chen Nuo stuffed a fries into Ye Zi's mouth, then picked up a tissue and wiped the ketchup from the corner of his sister's mouth.
Children like this kind of fried food.
In a McDonald's in a commercial center, a family of three was sitting in the busy lobby, next to the window.
Ou Xiuhua looked at the brother and daughter in front of her with complicated eyes, as if there were faint tears in her eyes.
"What? Are you moved or sad?" Chen Nuo raised his head and glanced at this "mother".
"I just feel that I am very grateful to God that I can still live with you like this." Ou Xiuhua's voice was choked with sobs.
Chen Nuo smiled, thought for a moment, and said slowly in a very soft voice, but with a hint of seriousness: "Isn't this how a family should live together? Isn't this right?"
Ou Xiuhua nodded vigorously: "...Well, Xiao Nuo, you are right."
After a moment of silence, Ou Xiuhua suddenly spoke again with some hesitation: "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Well, you say."
"I...I think it's time for me to find a job."
Chen Nuo was not surprised. He just looked at his mother quietly: "...are you not happy at home?"
"I'm very happy. I can see you and Ye Zi at home every day. I send Ye Zi to kindergarten every morning, pick her up from school in the afternoon, and cook for you in the evening... This kind of life is what I can do when I am in prison.
The most beautiful thing I have ever imagined.
But...but...if I live like this for a while, I feel uneasy."
Ou Xiuhua shook his head.
Chen Nuo nodded: "What do you mean?"
"Xiao Nuo, I'm only in my early forties, and I haven't reached the age of retirement yet." Ou Xiuhua sighed: "The only thing I can do in this house now is wash and cook, and pick up and drop off the children.
The water and electricity bills at home, every grain of rice you eat, and every vegetable you buy are all money you earn.
Xiao Nuo... your mother, I don't want to be a forty-year-old being raised by her eighteen-year-old son... a waste.
I always feel like I’m not at ease.”
"Our family is not short of money." Chen Nuo said slowly. Seeing what Ou Xiuhua wanted to say, he waved his hand: "Listen to me first.
I didn't mean to stop you, don't get me wrong.
I want to tell you that our family is not short of money. If you want to go out to work, if it is to make money to supplement the family... I just want to tell you this so that you don't have to bear financial pressure.
Of course, I also support you going out to find a job.
People can't be idle all the time.
Realizing self-worth is also the prerequisite for a person to have a healthy personality!
I fully understand that you have such an idea and I fully support it.
Do something and don’t let yourself be idle. Do something to reflect your self-worth!
After being idle for a long time... people will fall into self-doubt and feel that they are worthless... and in the end, they will place their self-perceived value entirely on others.
This is of course also bad.
So...I can really understand your thoughts."
"You...don't object?"
"Why should I object?" Chen Nuo stared at Ou Xiuhua.
Ou Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief.
"The point I tell you this is to tell you that our family is not short of money, at least financially you don't have to be stressed, and you don't have to be too eager to find a job and make money.
You can take your time and find something that you really want to do and that is really suitable for you. Don’t worry too much about money.”
Ou Xiuhua understood and sighed with relief.
"So, do you have any thoughts or plans?" Chen Nuo picked up the Coke cup and took a habitual sip.
The Coke has been finished, and the ice cubes inside are clattering.
Ou Xiuhua pondered for a moment: "When I came out, there was a policy to resettle the released persons, and I also got two letters of introduction from government departments..."
Chen Nuo nodded: "Well, what next?"
"I plan to go and have a look in the next two days. The letter of introduction introduces a unit company established in a local street to do outsourcing property.
The other one is a textile factory, so you should be able to work as a worker."
"Factory workers should have relatively fixed commuting hours, which is relatively more stable in terms of time. However, I have seen that the factory is a little far away from our home...
It doesn't matter in the morning. I can get up early and take Ye Zi to kindergarten, and then I can go to work in time.
But it’s not very convenient in the afternoon.
Ye Zi now gets out of kindergarten at around four o'clock every day. In the factory, he usually doesn't get off work until around five o'clock...
So, that's a problem."
"Well, where's the other one?"
"The other one is more suitable.
The property outsourcing company run by the local street office should have contracted outsourcing properties for some residential areas or government-built industrial parks or office parks.
I've made inquiries in the past two days. The working hours are on a shift basis and can be adjusted. The hours are relatively flexible.
The work is nothing more than cleaning, cleaning the exterior of the park or community, etc.
I think if I try here, I can adjust my schedule so that I can take Ye Zi to and from school every day. At other times, I can work the evening shift or the morning shift. It doesn't really matter.
I am only in my forties, so I can afford some hardships."
In fact, these two jobs are not very good in Chen Nuo's opinion.
A female factory worker, or a cleaning lady in a property management company...
To be honest, the ceiling is very low, and it is a standard hard-working grassroots job.
It's actually a pity that Ou Xiuhua did this.
She was born in the 1950s, but her education is not low - she went to high school and also studied financial accounting.
Among the generation born in the 1950s, having attended high school is really considered a high degree of education!!
But because of her history of being in prison, it is very difficult to find a good job.
Starting from the bottom is also the only way.
What's more... Chen Nuo also knows very well that it's not about what you do for work.
But if people stay idle at home for too long, they will have doubts about their self-worth.
“I think it’s all okay.
You can take a look at both of these jobs, ask about them clearly, and then do whichever one you think you want to do.
As for picking up and delivering leaves, you don’t have to worry.
You drop her off in the morning, and I can also pick you up after school in the afternoon. I can go to school anyway..."
After thinking about it, forget it, it’s better not to openly talk about “trucking class” to a mother.
"My school time is also very convenient. get out of class ends early in the afternoon, so I can pick up Ye Zi."
"No, no, no, I will try not to affect your time." When Ou Xiuhua talked about this issue, she showed the traditional Chinese mother's way of thinking: "You are the backbone of the family, and everything must be done in a way that does not affect your time."
You are my priority!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "It really doesn't matter. If you choose a job, you don't have to worry about picking up and delivering Ye Zi every day. As a family, we can easily adjust ourselves."
After hearing this, Ou Xiuhua felt moved and guilty at the same time. She whispered "Yeah" and said nothing more.
·
After returning home that night, Ou Xiuhua was stunned for a moment when she looked at the brand new furnishings in her living room.
"I think the sofa, TV, and coffee table are too old and don't look good. I asked Brother Lei to buy a new set in the afternoon." Chen Nuo coughed, pretending to be calm, and looked at the wall.
Traces of painting and repairs...
There is nothing we can do about this. Although the damage on the walls and floors has been repaired, the latex paint will not dry for a while.
"Hmm... maybe it was broken when the workers were carrying it. Brother Lei also had it repaired. Let's be careful these two days and don't touch it."
Ou Xiuhua looked at the living room with complicated eyes, although she felt in her heart that her son's spending money so lavishly was not the right way to live his life.
But... I'm really embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Actually...otherwise, let's buy a new house at the end of the year. It's bigger and the home will be more spacious..."
"No need!" Ou Xiuhua answered seriously this time, then sighed and said seriously: "Xiao Nuo, I'm not qualified to say these things to you...
All the money in the family is earned by you.
But...we are a family of three now, and this house is actually enough to live in. No matter how big the place is, we don't really need it.
What's more, you have to spend money to do business. In our own lives, there is actually no need to be so lavish.
This house was left behind by your grandma. Living here is also a longing for you.
In the future, when you grow up and get married and have children, we will then consider buying a house."
After hearing this, Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and gave up the idea.
Um……
What Ou Xiuhua said is actually true.
In an average family, parents will think this way.
But...
After a few years, looking at housing prices, most of the time you will regret it...
That's all, I don't expect to make any money from this.
Just follow the family.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, my phone rang.
"Brother Lei? What's going on?"
"Uh... Mr. Nuo, the foreigner came to me and asked, do you have anything for him to do? He has been staying in the hotel for more than a week..."
·
The captain has been living a very peaceful life these past few days!
More than two months of nightmares are gone!
The captain now sleeps well and eats deliciously.
After he came out of the hospital that day, Brother Lei put him in a hotel in the city. After the captain confirmed that the "killer who secretly plotted against him" had been eliminated by Chen Yanluo.
I slept in the hotel for two full days in one breath!!
Two days later, the captain, who had slept well, was in high spirits, and his bloodshot eyes had regained their vitality.
I took a nice shower in the hotel and washed away the soreness and odor all over my body from running around for many days.
I also shaved and changed my clothes inside and out.
The captain had another hearty meal of Jinling local Chinese cuisine in the hotel.
I have slept enough, taken a bath, eaten and drank enough.
Life is safe!
Only then did the captain feel that he was completely alive!
The most important thing is that the captain was surprised to find that the shackles of his conscious space that had been sealed had been loosened!
After feeling the refreshing feeling of transforming from an ordinary person back to a "powerful person" again, the captain stayed in the room on the first day after waking up, except for eating, and worked hard to enter the consciousness space, following the instructions.
I should cultivate myself along the way and try hard to restore the flow of consciousness space.
The strength is also recovering bit by bit.
At the end of the day, the captain optimistically estimated that according to the current progress, it would take at most a month for him to return to his original level of strength as a destroyer!
Obviously... Master Chen Yanluo has completely accepted himself, so he gave up the seal on his ability!
Then he tried to contact Chen Yanluo.
I didn't dare to call Chen Nuo directly - I couldn't get through.
I didn't dare to make a mistake and come to my door rashly - my life was in danger before, so I couldn't do anything like this.
We can no longer do things so haphazardly.
So I contacted Chen Yanluo's subordinate, the bald Chinese man.
During the brief contact that day, the captain felt that the bald man should be a confidant of Lord Yama.
After contacting Brother Lei, Brother Lei said that he would report to Yan Luo, and soon Brother Lei called back.
Tell the captain that Lord Yama's order is to rest where you are and standby.
The captain simply stayed in the hotel and waited for news.
This wait is just a week!!
The captain is a little confused!
Although Chinese food is delicious, staying in a hotel every day without going out really makes you feel uneasy!
Either there is something for me to do...
Or, you should let yourself return to the Abyss headquarters as soon as possible to take charge.
There is no sound, no image, no attitude message, just let yourself stay in the hotel.
What does that mean?
But I really don’t dare to ask!!
The captain is a veteran of the underground world.
The underground world is actually very hierarchical. Whatever level your strength is, you will be the boss at that level.
When a weak person faces a big boss, he just obeys and that's it. There is nothing to say or ask.
What's more, the captain was really completely defeated by this Yama.
At the end of this week, the further back I go, the more I feel like my days are like years, sitting in a hotel, not getting orders, and not daring to go out!!
It's like being in jail!
The only thing that gives me some comfort is that my strength has recovered by two to three percent.
A week later, the captain finally lost his temper and called Brother Lei in a cautious tone.
Although the Chinese language is very stiff, the basic meaning is expressed clearly.
It probably means: Let me ask our boss... I'm still on call at the hotel, what do you want me to do?
Brother Lei was cheerful and easy to talk to, so he called Chen Nuo that night.
·
"Foreigner?" Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
Harmful!
I almost forgot about the captain.
An idea came to my mind.
"Well, you can send me his hotel address. I just have something I can ask him to do for me."
