[Safe City] Rule 2.
[I am dead. If you see me in the city, please do not greet me. If I talk to you, please do not respond, and do not believe anything I say.
If I tell you that I am hungry and beg for food from you, please do not give me anything to eat. 】
Su Qingyu saw the beggar waving at her, as if he had something to say. She turned her head away, pretending not to notice, and asked the rickshaw to pass through the alley faster.
The driver stopped.
"Master, take me out of here quickly."
When the beggars saw Su Qingyu, they stood up and gathered around.
The driver's neck made a "creak" sound, and his body began to tremble. He groped around himself hurriedly, took out an empty wine bottle, opened his mouth, and poured the empty bottle down to his mouth.
"Not a drop is gone. It's over. The feeling of hunger is coming again." The coachman was horrified.
Then, the bottle fell to the ground and the glass shattered into pieces.
The driver clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground. The glass on the ground dug into his knees, but no blood flowed from his legs.
"Hungry, I'm so hungry!" He turned around and stretched out his increasingly stiff hand to Su Qingyu, "Help me... give me wine... give me something to eat..."
Su Qingyu's father also walked over. His limbs were stiff and twisted, and every step seemed to break the joints of his body. He stretched out his hand to Su Qingyu and said, "Good boy, I'm hungry... Kaka ka ka... …can you give me something to eat?
Your body, hair, and skin are all borne by your parents...kakaka...give me back what I gave you...kakaka..."
Su Qingyu tightened her lips and refused to respond.
She is not Nezha, and she does not play the trick of cutting flesh to repay her father.
Besides, although the child is born to the parents, the later flesh is grown by the child based on his ability and cannot be cut back.
His father came close to Su Qingyu and tried his best to intimidate him. Su Qingyu looked directly at him without responding. After seeing these distorted looks so many times, Su Qingyu was almost immune.
Her eyes automatically mosaic against the bloody things.
She would imagine the weird things as big moving radishes, and those crooked limbs were radish that grew crookedly. As long as she thought like this, she wouldn't feel scary.
The most important thing is the mentality.
As long as Su Qingyu doesn't violate the rules, Weiyi can't hurt her directly.
This group of beggars blocked Su Qingyu's way out.
She calmly pushed her father away and touched his skin with her hands. The touch was like touching a moldy sponge. Su Qingyu touched a hard object. She took the hard object from her father's pocket. He took it out and found that it was a solid gold pocket watch.
Opening the pocket watch, Su Qingyu saw that there were photos of a family of six inside.
In the photo, it is the Su family in the copy.
There were traces of adhesion on the face in the photo. Su Qingyu dug at it with her hands and was able to pull out the face, leaving it blank underneath.
All six people's faces were cut out, leaving only three people.
A man, a woman and a child.
The man is the "father". He is wearing a white coat, with a morning star badge on his chest, and a smile on his face.
The women and children are unfamiliar faces.
On the back of the pocket watch, there are small words engraved: Have a safe journey and return in triumph.
Copies are based on reality and distort reality.
It will give the person who enters the copy an identity, and the identity will blur the perception, allowing people to adapt to the copy, so that they can stay in the copy forever with a new identity and become a part of the copy.
Just like this "father" who came from Daystar Group, has been completely polluted, and turned into a weird "father".
He no longer knows which one is his family.
Su Qingyu took away the pocket watch, picked up Su Xiaohua who was sleeping on the rickshaw, and ran out of the alley with Youyou.
Father stood in the shadow of the alley, staring at Su Qingyu.
When Su Qingyu walked out of the alley, she saw a group of patrolling guards walking into the alley with electric batons and watering cans in their hands.
The guards used electric batons and watering cans to drive the beggars away from the city.
Governor's Mansion.
Su Qingyu put the white paper, silver needles and other items she bought back into the room, and then went to find the eldest young master.
The eldest young master's room is relatively remote and is actually mixed in among the guest rooms. Because Ping'an City is not open to the public, there are almost no guests in the Governor's Mansion, and the servants are slack and do not clean these vacant rooms.
Su Qingyu asked the old housekeeper where the eldest young master lived.
The old housekeeper was greedy for money and he knew the house very well. Su Qingyu bought the internal map of the Governor's Mansion from him with Ming coins.
She was walking in the dark corridor with a kerosene lamp in her hand, and she could hear "crunching" sounds coming from the dark corners of the old Warlord's Mansion.
When she reached the fork, the kerosene lamp in her hand suddenly went out.
"Shua——"
A black shadow quickly flashed not far away from Su Qingyu. The corridor she was in was a crossroads. The way back was pitch black. The three roads in front of her led to different residences of the three young masters.
Originally, the three passages were silent.
But after the kerosene lamp in Su Qingyu's hand was extinguished, she heard a woman's charming laughter coming from the corridor on her right, mixed with these pieces of music. The music was like a worn old record, with a sense of age.
That was the place where the second young master Zhao Zhili lived. There were women, music, and singing every night.
The corridor on the left was dark, and the sound of sticks being struck could be heard from time to time. The sounds were very dull, as if they were being struck on some solid object.
That is the residence of the third young master Zhao Zhishan.
There are windows in the corridor at the front, and the moonlight can shine in from the outside, making it quiet and peaceful.
There is no sound ahead.
Su Qingyu walked forward. The doors on both sides were tightly closed. There was only one door at the front. The door was ajar, with a faint light shining through.
That is the residence of the eldest young master Zhao Zhiyan.
Su Qingyu knocked on the door first, and a man's calm voice came from inside.
"come in."
Su Qingyu pushed the door open and entered, finding the eldest young master Zhao Zhiyan with his back to her, standing by the open window. The window was very huge, and the camphor tree in the courtyard could be seen from here.
Zhao Zhiyan was wearing a military uniform, and the moonlight shone on him. Because his back was to Su Qingyu, Su Qingyu could not see his face clearly.
"If you have extra ghost coins, you can go to the city and buy some dog meat. You will need it when the birthday party begins."
The eldest young master could speak normally with his back to Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu recalled the rules.
[Safe City] Rule 3.
[Beware of taciturn people, corpses usually don't talk. 】
As a test, she walked to the window and looked at the young master's face from the side. His expression was pale and stiff, as if he were a carved figure.
“How much dog meat do I want to buy?”
The eldest young master said nothing and stood motionless.
The eyes were bloodshot and the mouth was tightly closed.
He didn't reply.
Su Qingyu retreated behind him and repeated the question.
The eldest young master's voice sounded again.
"Guests have big appetites. Prepare enough for fourteen people. This will save you a lot of trouble."
