Chapter 35 Pigeon cage, strange photos
The other side.
Lu Yuan had already left the roof.
His figure was like a hawk, flying quickly through the night, and arrived at a low-rent house by a familiar route.
Said it was a house.
In fact, in order to improve the utilization rate of building area, the size of the room is similar to that of a pigeon cage.
The smallest single room is no more than two square meters.
I could only barely put down a single bed, and I had to curl up at night, unable to straighten my legs.
Therefore, this kind of single room is also jokingly called a coffin room by ordinary people.
But the good thing is it's free.
As long as they are orphans under the age of 18, they can apply for free.
If you are a single adult, you want to rent a single room like this.
The rent alone costs five thousand yuan a month!
And another room type.
It is one bedroom and one living room, only ten square meters in size.
No air conditioning, no water heater, no washing machine.
The kitchen, toilet and bathroom are all shared.
The family is like sardines in a can, squeezed into this small room.
That's it.
The monthly rent costs about 10,000 yuan!
And only rented to families with children!
Singles who want to rent are not eligible!
And according to imperial law.
If you are a family with multiple children, you can also get a portion of the rent reduced.
If it is a family with three children or more, not only is there no charge, but there is also an additional housing subsidy.
so.
In low-rent housing.
You can often see a strange sight.
The more difficult a family lives, the more enthusiastic they are about having children.
Because as long as one child can become a simulator, it can change the fate of the entire family!
Looking at the familiar environment and everything.
A trace of recollection appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Eight years ago, he fled here from Linhai City and finally found a place to stay.
Even though it’s just a small coffin room, it’s better than being homeless everywhere.
Due to the Sheriff's Department's manpower shortage.
This area of low-rent housing has a population of more than 5,000, but there are no simulators stationed there.
Ordinary people can only cover themselves with thick quilts, curl up in bed, grit their teeth and endure the erosion and torture of darkness.
Only when law enforcement officers from the Sheriff's Department pass by.
Only then can they feel the warmth for a moment.
But when Lu Yuan arrived.
Many people noticed something unusual.
It seems a lot warmer tonight than usual?
Lu Yuan climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor, and then walked towards the innermost house on the left.
Stand at the door of the house.
He took out the key.
Skillfully unlocked the door.
"Squeak!"
The door opened.
Not loud.
But in the silent darkness, it seemed particularly harsh.
In this strange and rampant apocalypse.
Ordinary people don't dare to sleep too deeply, and are usually in a state of half sleep and half awake.
As soon as I heard a sound.
The residents on this floor woke up immediately and quietly pulled out a kitchen knife or weapon from under the bed.
It wasn't until they saw Lu Yuan's familiar figure through the gap in the window that they felt relieved.
at the same time.
Some people with quick minds immediately thought of one thing.
After nightfall.
Only the Simulator can come and go freely at night.
But when Lu Yuan returned late at night, he was not eroded and threatened by the darkness.
this means.
He has successfully passed The Sims and become an official Simulator!
Thinking of this possibility, everyone's heart skipped a beat!
then.
One after another, candlelight lit up one after another.
Because there is no spiritual rail formation guarding the outer city, many infrastructure facilities cannot be used at night.
Only expensive special candles can illuminate the darkness.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Xiao Yuan is getting more and more handsome as he grows older. No wonder my daughter always misses you."
"Xiaofeng, come here and say hello to your brother Lu Yuan."
A middle-aged man held a candle and winked at his daughter.
But he, who was determined to train his daughter into a social butterfly, completely forgot about it.
three years ago.
His daughter just said a few words to Lu Yuan, but he locked her at home for three days without being able to go out.
"Ayuan, are you coming back so late? Are you hungry? How about Aunt Wang cook you a midnight snack?"
"Aunt Wang did something wrong in the past, so please don't take it to heart."
A middle-aged woman with a sinewy face stood at the door and said nervously.
Lu Yuan glanced at her calmly.
During the Spring Festival last year.
I passed by their house after school because I accidentally smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen.
She was caught and scolded for more than half a month.
But it's the same fierce-looking shrew.
Now, with a shy and flattering smile on her face, she warmly invited Lu Yuan to her home for dinner.
If it were Lu Yuan from before.
Maybe there will be a scene where the Dragon King returns and pretends to be a slap in the face.
But now.
With decades of experience in simulation, he has long lost his vulgar taste.
For this group of neighbors who bully the weak and fear the strong, and are arrogant at first and respectful at the other.
The best thing to do is ignore it.
Lu Yuan opened the door.
In a small, dimly lit room.
There was only a bed and no other furniture.
Lu Yuan squatted down.
He took out an iron box from under the bed.
There were more than two thousand banknotes inside, some certificates and certificates, and a yellowed photo.
In the yellowed photo.
More than thirty children stood at the door of an old building with bright smiles on their faces.
Five big characters were engraved on the building plaque.
Shuguang Welfare Home.
But the moment Lu Yuan touched the photo.
The whole photo seemed to be on fire, suddenly burning violently, with billowing black smoke.
The photo that seemed ordinary at first was like a red-hot iron in his hand.
Lu Yuan's hand trembled, and he subconsciously threw the photo on the ground.
However, the fire looked terrifying, but it could not cause any damage to everything around it.
A few seconds later.
Everything returned to normal.
When Lu Yuan looked at the photo again, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.
A chill rose from his tailbone and rushed straight to the top of his head.
In the photo, except for himself.
All the children's faces slowly disappeared, and finally only a group of weird faceless people were left!
"What's going on?"
"Why did their faces disappear?"
Lu Yuan stared at the photo and felt a chill in his bones.
He traveled to this world eight years ago.
And.
For some reason, he knew very little about his memories before the age of ten.
In the messy fragments of memory.
He only vaguely remembered that one day, Shuguang Welfare Home was suddenly engulfed by a fire.
The flames shot up to the sky and the smoke billowed.
When people fled in all directions.
The amiable old director suddenly stuffed this photo into his hand.
And told him.
This photo is very important.
No matter what happens, you must take this photo with you.
The other party's tone was serious and his eyes were determined, as if he was entrusting a heavy responsibility to save the world.
Let Lu Yuan still remember it vividly.
So for so many years.
Whether Lu Yuan was fleeing or moving, he would take this photo with him.
This time, he returned to the previous low-rent housing just after the simulation, and it was for this reason.
But what Lu Yuan did not expect was.
This seemingly ordinary photo would actually have such a shocking change!
