"What are you doing?"
"Didn't I just throw away the trash? Besides, this is not what I want!"
"I also came here after receiving a mission."
"But you shouldn't hit people, right?"
Follett raised his pig-like head, his face full of grievances, completely different from the one who had a murderous look on his face just now.
As for his self-proclaimed killer weapon, the old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun.
It was simply broken into two parts, one side was under the feet, and the other side was thrown outside the house at some point. As the heavy rain eroded it, it quickly became tattered.
Li Yi sighed, wiped his body without any rainwater with Follett's towel, squatted down and stared at the janitor who still looked angry.
"I was afraid that your gun would go off, so I used a little more force. By the way, I said use force. I'm very hungry now. Is there anything to eat?"
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to answer and ignoring the pitiful look in his eyes, Li Yi's eyes began to scan the small house that was only five square meters square.
This is a small house built next to the gate of the garbage dump. It can be regarded as a guard room for the time being.
Judging from the other party's familiarity with the environment before, this uncle who saved him and suffered a fist blow should be the gatekeeper of this garbage dump.
Logically speaking, the garbage dump is full of waste discarded by people, which has no value, so naturally there is no need for any gatekeepers.
But this is not the case.
"Everything has a unique value. What we have to do is to dig out the waste in others' eyes and let it shine with the light that needs to be nurtured. Only in this way can we sell it at a good price."
I don't know why, but such a thought suddenly appeared in Li Yi's mind, as familiar as if he had said these words countless times.
But he was convinced.
I have never said this myself.
Are there new memory fragments?
While he was deep in thought, the janitor, who could only move his mouth but could not move any other part of his body, suddenly let out a strange cry.
"Oh my God, you are..."
There was a snap. Before he could finish speaking, Li Yi punched him mercilessly. His tall figure involuntarily flew towards the wall of the cabin, and after a thorough intimate contact with the wall, he simply passed out.
"I talk a lot, but I'm not afraid of letting my tongue slip."
Li Yi curled his lips and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in search of food.
Now that the owner of the house has been knocked down, the task of filling his stomach can only be done by himself.
Perhaps because he could only stay in this small room all day long, Li Yi found a lot of food.
It can even be considered rich.
A half-drank bottle of spirits.
A lamb chop wrapped in paper and still hot.
There was also a dark thing that I couldn’t tell what it was, and smelled like barley.
It should be steamed buns?
But why does the steamed bun look so black?
There was no time to eliminate the doubts in his heart, and he was quickly taken over by hungry desire.
Li Yi tore open the paper package immediately and took a big bite of the mutton chop.
fragrant!
Although it had no flavor and the meat didn't seem to be cooked well, Li Yi's hunger had completely overwhelmed his sense of taste at this moment.
Whatever he ate at this moment tasted delicious, and the only sound left in the hut was his chewing...
Uh...hmm!
With a contented sigh.
Empty wine bottles were randomly discarded on the ground.
Plus there were bones scattered all over the place.
As for the black ball-shaped object that looked like a barley cake, it was swallowed whole by Li Yi, who was extremely hungry.
Only then could the hunger level be brought back below the warning line.
I didn’t expect my appetite to be so big!
Li Yi sighed inwardly and glanced at Follett, who had just woken up while rubbing his eyes.
Then there was a heart-rending scream.
"No! You ate my dinner! Oh my God! You robber! You crazy man! I want...I want..."
"What do you want to do?"
The trembling voice stopped suddenly, and Follett, who had suffered a lot from the old punch, squatted on the ground in aggrieved manner, looking like he dared not speak in anger, which made Li Yi laugh for a while.
In fact, the Book of Strangeness system had already given a hint before he saw Follett.
[The second act has ended and is entering the third act: the garbage dump]
[This is a garbage dump located on an island. Basically no one visits it at ordinary times. There are only mountains of garbage here. No one knows how many such hills there are except Old Follett, the gatekeeper at the door. In fact, due to the deepening of radiation infection, even old Follett rarely goes in. If you are going to go in to find out, I think you should be prepared. 】
The background description doesn't reveal much, using a fantasy-style tone to describe a forgotten garbage dump located alone on the island.
No one knows who would put a garbage dump on an island.
There will be no one to clean up the garbage on the island.
Especially later, when these garbage gradually turn into pollutants.
"Hey! Wake up, don't sleep."
Li Yi patted Old Follett awake, who had just woken up and pretended to be in a coma because his dinner was eaten.
He could tell that the other party was pretending to be dead in an attempt to get away, but he had no intention of letting the other party go just like that.
"You've eaten my dinner, can you go?"
Old Follett looked pitiful and blinked his triangular eyes.
"Don't pretend to me, tell me, you know something about this place."
"What do I know? This is a manor! Don't you know? It's just that the owner of the manor hasn't been back for a long time."
manor?
Li Yi was startled and spoke subconsciously.
"You said this is a manor? Or does it have an owner?"
"Of course, who would just build a house here and then abandon it? It's just true that the owner of this house hasn't come back for a long time. What's going on..."
As he spoke, Old Follett himself felt doubtful and began to murmur.
"Then what's going on with you? Since the owner of this house hasn't appeared for a long time, why are you still here? Someone gave you money?"
"Money? What is that?"
Li Yi:......
"You don't know what money is?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
He did not believe that a person could not even know the simplest general equivalent.
You must be living in the age of primitive people!
"I...I've never heard of it, so that's it! This thing you mentioned can be exchanged for food! And wine!"
Lawfulette suddenly exclaimed, staring at Li Yi with an excited face (yes, that's the expression), as if he had discovered a new world.
Now Li Yi was finally sure of one thing.
This janitor named Old Follett can really see through people's hearts!
"Is this your superpower?"
Li Yi looked at the ordinary-looking uncle who was dressed strangely.
"What super power? Didn't you tell me about it yourself?"
Old Follett looked puzzled, but then he suddenly realized.
"Did you say those words what was in your mind? Didn't you say it out loud? But isn't everyone like this?"
Li Yi was stunned.
How does he want to explain this?
This guy doesn't even know he has superpowers!
Then I heard Follett muttering.
"Not everyone is like this? So, I'm a freak?"
Li Yi looked strange.
How do you understand the concept of having powers?
Can you please stop thinking the worst about everything, you bastard!
Then he heard Old Follett mutter again in a tone that was extremely aggrieved, even if his own dinner was eaten, he was not so aggrieved.
"But...but that person said that if you are different from others, you will be called a freak!"
"He also said that as long as I stay here for thirty years, I will be able to get rid of the title of freak, and then I will be able to meet many, many people. Now there are only less than two years until thirty years. I will soon You can go out now!”
What!
Li Yi was shocked.
Thirty years!
Which bastard fooled me?
