If you want to be a hero, there is no way out. Either succeed or become a benevolent person.

[Part①·Reservoir Dogs]

"You're fucking fired!"

The supermarket supervisor's yelling and cursing echoed from the cashier to Lilan Avenue, a street that was notoriously messy in Sunset Castle. People living on the edge of crime live here and struggle to survive.

Susie is nineteen years old and has no father or mother. The first job she found in the capital of Julian was as a cashier at the front desk of Huimin Supermarket on Lilan Avenue.

She is a black person who cannot find her parents to rely on. She grew up in a welfare institution in the capital and received a basic education. The faculty and staff have interests in the Sunburg area officials, so they regard these helpless children as cheap and easy to use. Human resources are sold to remote areas to collect people.

They work in factories, they do sanitation, they climb on roofs to repair water pipes and tiles, and they go to shops to work as cash registers and wash dishes.

All kinds of cheap labor require people. Sun Castle has never lacked ogres, but people.

Today, Susie was fired because she gave two bags of flour that were about to expire on the shelf to a homeless man.

The gifts were not many and not valuable, but this did not comply with the supermarket's regulations and the supervisor's procedural justice.

"I don't understand! I don't understand!" Susie argued, pointing to the products on the shelves: "These foods will have to be thrown into the trash can in two days! People who can't afford to eat outside will also go to the trash can. If I get them, what does it matter if I give them away?"

"And moreover!"

"Get it off the shelf, it's clean!"

Susie held the cardboard box containing her personal belongings, and her dismissal was a foregone conclusion.

"But if they look for food in the trash can, they will get sick and die!"

The supermarket supervisor was an old white man with a sinister face: "What does it have to do with you?"

Susie blushed so hard that her dark skin started to turn red: "I will pay! Isn't it just two bags of flour?"

Supermarket supervisor: "You want to be a hero? You want to be a hero?"

Susie was shaking with anger: "Give them some dignity!"

"Ha!" the supermarket manager snorted coldly: "Let me tell you, these garbage borers who come to your door to beg for food are criminals! They are thieves and robbers! Today you give two bags of flour, but tomorrow they will ask you for money? Yes. Shouldn’t we also open the counter and give the money to these scum?”

Saying this, the supermarket supervisor tore off Susie's employee license plate, and his half-smiling face turned vicious again.

"Let me tell you! The goods in Huimin Supermarket are not to mention expired! Even if they are rotten and smelly! They are full of bugs from the inside out! They will not be given away to these social moths - to crazy butterflies. Even if I drop it, I won’t give it to them to eat!”

"No wonder you, little girl, don't have a bright mind!"

The supermarket supervisor looked at Susie's cultural shirt, which had a titanium-plated steel stamp of Anonymous's helmet as the logo. These peripheral products did not involve intellectual property rights and could be printed and sold by any textile factory.

"In Sun Castle, you actually dared to wear Anonymous on your body. Who do you think you are? Are you going to catch criminals? What kind of skills does it mean to bully me, a senior worker? You are pointing fingers at me from the moral high ground?" Shang Chao The supervisor was angry: "I just want to make money! There is only one thing in my mind! That is to make money! You have fed all the poor people! Who will spend the money?!"

Su Qian's face was ferocious, and she almost crushed the cardboard box in her hand. She only knew that she was helpless in Sun Castle. When she returned to the welfare home in the capital, she had to ask her classmates for help in arranging work, and she had to owe a lot of debts. Not only causing trouble for others, but also suffering color discrimination from the capital.

This naive little girl still wants to be reasonable.

"They're not criminals! They're just poor."

The supervisor did not give this opportunity at all and arranged for other employees to close the fresh food area and cut off the power and lights in various sections of the supermarket.

In the middle of the night, although this Sunless Fort does not distinguish between day and night, people still have to rest and sleep. The traffic lights will be turned off at night, and the road administration will turn off the lights. Except for the continuously rotating industrial park, production activities are completely Stop, then criminals will become active and carry out various illegal transactions of drugs and guns.

After all the other employees had finished get off work and left, the supervisor had time to go to the front door and point at Susie's nose.

"Being poor is a sin! Poor people steal!"

"This is wrong!" Susie just wanted to fight for her breath, "This is wrong! If a person steals things because he is poor, then why is he poor?"

The supervisor sneered: "That's not because of laziness, but because of stupidity!"

Susie scolded: "That's not true! If only there were people like this in Lieyang Castle! This is Lieyang Castle's fault! It's because there are too many arrogant and arrogant idiots like you! You both Stupid and greedy! You have no intention of letting others live! If a person has hands and feet but wants to be a thief! That is society's fault!"

The little girl was anxious and angry. She froze in place, neither staying nor walking, and stamping her feet nervously.

"The capital city can allow children like me who have no father or mother to receive education, but what about here? You are not even willing to give a few bags of expiring flour to the poor! What if they have children? What if they have parents? They are like me Are you going to lose your job because of these ten-dollar things? - You are forcing people to commit crimes! You are killing people!"

At this moment, Susie still stubbornly believed that this was just a matter of more than ten dollars.

But the supermarket supervisor never thought so. This was not a matter of money. It was Susie who was trampling on the rules of Lieyang Castle. It was this little girl with overflowing compassion who challenged the iron law of the jungle again and again.

If Susie does this today, other employees will do the same tomorrow. Over time, the investor's manager will be laid off. He also has a family, children, parents, and his own life - he doesn't want to become the next homeless man begging for food.

This set of rules is harming everyone, but no one can knock it down. As long as money still exists in this world, it will continue to force people to sell their flesh and blood to survive.

The supervisor pointed to the dark road: "Get out!"

"You want me to go back to the dormitory like this?" Susie's face was full of disbelief: "In the middle of the night? Lilan Avenue? Walk back?"

This street is full of dangers. For a woman to walk back like this, it would be a fool's errand. If nothing happens, she will be able to find her fresh organs in Madam Bai's workshop the next day.

The supervisor hugged each other majestically: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

His fat fingers poked at the embankment on the street, the alleyway facing the street, and the intersection in the distance.

"Originally, I wanted to send you on your last journey, but now I have changed my mind. Since you think criminals are human beings and poor devils are human beings, then walk back from this poor and rotten street! I have no obligation to take care of you. , our relationship is just an employment relationship, and it’s not even an employment relationship now - do you want me to be your father? Do you want to take care of you for the rest of your life? "

Deathly silence surrounded the two of them.

Susie no longer shows off, because in the face of violence, any language becomes pale.

There was hesitation in the eyes of the supermarket manager. He just wanted to scare this little sister. He was not a racist. He just wanted to run the store well, continue to make small money quickly and well, and live a small life. If Susie could relent, maybe this matter could still be discussed.

He just needs a little recognition and respect, and wants Susie to obey this set of rules - in Sun Castle, money is far more important than people.

The two were in a stalemate. In the middle of the night, the Sun Castle began to remove dust and fog. The artificial rainfall device splashed condensation water, turning into biting rain in the cold winter.

——They are like two drowned dogs.

Susie did not step into the "sacrosanct" territory of the supermarket awning.

Even the supermarket supervisor couldn't shake the hot and hateful heart in Susie's eyes.

"Listen carefully, if we want to get ahead, it depends on whether this business can please Director Todd."

In a dark corner, parked is a Ford Explorer, a militia duty vehicle. There were two and a half-year-old children in the car, but they were only sixteen or seventeen years old. They were a good pair, and they were members of the neighborhood who aspired to become criminal superstars and become leaders of the war gang since they were young.

They all gave themselves resounding code names in advance. When working in Lieyang Castle, they must have a resounding name.

The older one is called Gibbons. He has been working as a pickpocket in a war gang since he was a child. He is smart and ruthless in his actions. He usually acts as a cover when committing crimes in groups. His companions are caught in various ways, but he, the lookout helper, always has to escape the law.

The younger one is called Horse-faced Monkey, and he grew up in the same neighborhood as Gibbon. They are both tenacious children on Lilan Street, but he has his own unique skills in stealing cars.

This pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes went around in circles for three or four years, and then got together to work for the war gang under Chief Todd.

Gibbon took out the gun from the stolen duty car. The light from the radio illuminated his dark and thin face. He excitedly stroked the gun sleeve and saw the yellow bullet sliding into the gun chamber. His face was filled with excitement and bloodlust.

"This is my first time touching it! ~ Horse-faced monkey! This time I will definitely make a name for myself!"

The horse-faced monkey has dreadlocks, and like the gibbons, they are all black. This little brother has a confused look on his face. After helping his brother steal the car, he has been following him, saying that he wants to make some big noise, but there is a big noise. What exactly is it?

"Manager Todd said that someone wants to be a hero!" Gibbon held the gun and pointed it around casually: "That's great! Let's turn the hero into a bear!"

The horse-faced monkey responded dully: "Huh?"

Gibbon went on to describe: "They are wearing anonymous clothes, wearing clown masks, and wearing Morpho suit helmet stamps to go against the war gang! They can't be caught and can't be found! Then we can also dress up as anonymous and rob kill!"

The horse-faced monkey still responded dully: "Oh."

Gibbon said with a smile: "Hey! Make them stink! Make them rotten! Make them into a ball of sludge! Stir up the muddy water! The militia and the war group don't know who to help! The fun will be great! The anonymous people will also become criminals ! Become a thug! Become a murderer! Hehehehe!"

The horse-faced monkey finally understood: "Oh oh oh! Oh!"

At this time, the gibbon started to get into trouble——

——He didn’t have much criminal experience in robbery and murder, and he didn’t know where to start, so he discussed it with his partner.

"How about we go rob a bank? Then all the police in the city will come!"

The horse-faced monkey woke up immediately and his eyes became clear: "No! Bro! He will die!"

Gibbon roared: "There are so many brothers in the war gang doing this! If the case we commit is not big enough! It is not exciting enough! How can we stand out from so many candidates?"

The horse-faced monkey became extremely witty, and seemed to be a different person when talking about life and death matters: "No! No fucking way! You go and rob the bank! Aren't you going against the White Shark Club?"

It was Gibbon's turn to be confused: "Huh?"

The horse-faced monkey asked seriously: "Who is the richest in Lieyang Castle?"

Gibbon: "Of course it's Controller Todd!"

Horse-faced Monkey: "Manager Todd also works for George Joshua! The richest one is the White Shark Club. Whose money is in the bank? Isn't that the White Shark Club? Let's rob the bank. If we fail, we will lose our lives; if we succeed, Manager Todd will also kill us!"

Gibbon was stunned: "Oh"

After a while, both of them were embarrassed to continue talking.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dusty rainwater hit the car windows, making a crackling sound.

Gibbon's face turned red. He always felt that as an idea king, he had to do something to prevent the glorious and great criminal enterprise from being aborted.

"How about we go rob a jewelry store?"

Horse-faced Monkey: "In the city center? Where is the jewelry store on Lilan Avenue? This place only has high-end imitation goods. Many rappers order jewelry from Mrs. Liu here to shoot music videos. They are all copper-coated with gold and worthless."

Gibbon: "Copper clad with gold is also gold."

The horse-faced monkey scratched his head and suddenly became silent——

——I want to survive on Lilan Avenue, especially for shops that make jewelry for low-income people like rappers. Even if it is fake gold and silver, most store managers have two brushes.

The horse-faced monkey has heard of Mrs. Liu's reputation. She is sixty-two years old this year. Last year, she won the 54th District IPSC Shooting Trials and won the championship six times in a row. She is a Chinese. Since the gunsmith began to teach the Six Arts Heart Sutra and knight combat skills , this old lady learned a gun and martial arts just like cheating.

"I think, Bro! Please wake up!" Horse-faced Monkey said cautiously: "Let's call the brothers who stole diesel from large cars in the block, and call your three buddies who used to steal the bag. We should all be here. It’s not enough to kill Mrs. Liu – wasn’t there a child kidnapping case last week? The manager of this gold and silver jewelry store must have been involved.”

Gibbon perked up and said, "Oh! Did she kidnap someone too?"

The horse-faced monkey squeezed his partner's face and said in a hysterical tone: "She must have gone to the crime scene to kill people, wearing the mask of Anonymous to kill people! How can shooting criminals be as exciting as shooting at a shooting range target? I have seen her! She I feel so energetic these days, I feel like I am ten years younger!”

[Part②·Pulp Fiction]

Banks cannot be robbed, and gold, silver and jewelry stores seem to be untouchable.

So Gibbons adjusted the difficulty: "Why don't we start at a place like a coffee shop or a grocery store?"

The horse-faced monkey swung his dreadlocks and shook his head, like a rattle: "Bro!~ Nowadays, all payments are online and mobile, so you can't get much cash, and the counters in coffee shops and grocery stores are very large, or there is a Bars that can hide guns and be bulletproof have to have short opening hours, so they are all closed at this time.”

Gibbon: "There is another supermarket! Huimin Supermarket!"

"This is okay!" Horse-faced Monkey immediately agreed: "The grandparents who come to buy groceries on Lilan Avenue all use cash. They have bad eyesight and don't understand how to use their mobile phones. It's time to close the door. Just grab one or two Employees, just force them to open the door!”

The two friends just do what they say——

——The Ford Explorer drove through the intersection and stopped in front of the supermarket.

Susie and the supermarket manager were still having a silent confrontation. Seeing such a militia duty vehicle approaching, the supermarket manager immediately changed his face and his attitude was not as tough as before. Now it seems that Susie can take the militia vehicle home. . The only condition that could force this little girl to bow her head and admit her mistake also disappeared.

When Susie saw the militia vehicle clearly, she immediately made a face at the supervisor, like a victorious general. He raised his head high and immediately revealed his true identity.

"Who asked you to send me to my dormitory? You are so low-key! Who do you think you are? Be careful, I will sue you for sexual harassment!"

The two and a half-year-old children got out of the car wearing the raincoats of the militiamen on duty. Gibbon immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the supermarket supervisor. He raised his hand and fired.

"boom!--"

Before the supervisor could speak, his brain exploded and he died suddenly on the spot.

Susie forgot to scream and didn't seem to realize what was happening.

These two children dressed as militiamen wear masks of Anonymous. Are they here to kill criminals? Is the supervisor a criminal? It seems so! It's something bad!

"Holy shit!" Blood splattered all over the horse-faced monkey: "Bro! What are you doing!"

Gibbon's hands were shaking: "Go, go, go, go. It's gone wrong."

The horse-faced monkey sighed: "How accurate is the fire?! Bro, you are so talented! From now on you will be my ape god! But! But you killed him! Who will open the door for us!?"

Gibbon was so frightened that he lost his mind: "Brother, give me a hand, I, I, I, I can't move."

The horse-faced monkey supported the gibbon's body, and Susie realized that this was definitely not a militia! Not some anonymous person! These are clearly two little devils who haven't grown up yet! They're coming to kill and rob!

"You!" Susie was about to call for help.

The horse-faced monkey hugged Gibbon's arm and glared at Susie fiercely.

"You will be the next one to die if you dare to call out! The rain is so heavy! Even the gunshots can't be heard! Who do you think you can call to help you?"

Gibbon then threatened: "Help open the door! Bitch! Be obedient! If you don't obey, you'll be shot!"

"Ape god, don't be like this, it's over." The horse-faced monkey man said, "She's a black man, she's not a bitch, you can't insult her like that."

Gibbon immediately changed his mind: "Oh, sorry. Can you help open the door?"

Susie was too frightened to speak.

"What bad luck! It rained when we first came here!"

At this moment, another pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks are about to arrive at Lieyang Castle. The first section they have to pass is Lilan Avenue, which is an important traffic artery of the intercity expressway and the only way to enter the downtown area and the city center. It is also the settlement place of the old Lieyang Fort people.

Foianini kept cursing while driving. They were originally fighting counterfeiting in the 39th District. When they received the news that the gunsmith teacher had passed away, Big Brother Billy didn't believe anything he said.

Coupled with Faye Florsalin (FF) leaving without saying goodbye, the successive blows broke Billy's heart. In just a few days, the teacher who changed their lives passed away, and they didn't even have time to attend the funeral. , Brother Billy’s girlfriend is gone, so Foianini has to bite the bullet and take Billy, who has a strong desire for self-destruction, out to relax.

They drove all the way north, not wanting to see the railway again. When he received the news that his wife was going to Sun Castle, Billy wanted to do something again, so he chose to drive along the railway line to such a sinful city.

"What happened to this car that was supposed to be given to FF? Did I do something wrong?" Billy leaned against the car window, looking desperate.

Foianini drove into the rain, and the wipers could not clear away the water droplets on the windshield.

"Fuck! I'm so fucking fucked!"

Billy; "Are you scolding me? That must be because I'm not good enough and I'm not good enough."

Foianini: "Brother, wake up!"

Billy: "I don't know. She's so pretty, so maybe I'm not good enough for her, right? She dislikes me, right?"

Foianini: "Oh! Poor Tom! He is being played between the hands of a woman!"

Billy: "I really don't know. What's wrong with me? Is it because I never take my life seriously? I fight with these bastards who sell fake goods, cheat tourists, and cheat money. She Afraid that I will die suddenly and become a widow? Shouldn’t I do this?”

Foianini: "The small pit hangs in the big pit, close your eyes! The small pit hangs in the big pit, close your eyes!"

With a clang, the car got off the highway and came to Lilan Avenue.

Billy: "Foianini, am I so annoying? Why is the gunsmith teacher gone? Does he also hate this world? He hates this world. He is an angel! Angels really want to return to heaven." "

"God!" Foianini was still yelling: "If the teacher were an angel! Lawrence would immediately roll off the seat of God! He would respectfully say to the gunsmith - take this seat!"

Billy; "Tell me, man, there's something wrong with me, right?"

"No, no, no! You have no problem! You have no problem! I can't find your problem!" Foianini held back a breath of anger. He had been driving for twenty hours straight, just because of Brother Billy and FF friendship——

——This car was originally going to be given to FF, so I couldn’t give it away casually.

"When you can't find your own problem, then it must be that woman's problem!" Foianini tugged on Brother Billy's clothes: "There must be something wrong with that woman! Billy! There is something wrong with that woman! He It makes you depressed! It makes you insane! It shows that she is not a good person! She even refuses to say a decent goodbye! There is something wrong with her!"

The moment Foianini's right hand left the gears——

– They ran headlong into the Ford Explorer’s ass.

It happened to be parked in front of the Huimin Supermarket on Lilan Avenue. There were no other customers in the parking lot. In the street three hundred meters in front and back, this supermarket was the only one with lights on.

Foianini originally thought of trying his luck and driving to this rest stop to get something to eat. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the god actually bumped into the militia duty vehicle!

"Oh no, no, no, no! Damn it!"

Billy also woke up and his eyes became clear.

"Fuck! This has nothing to do with me! I'm just lovelorn! ~ It's you! Foianini! It's you who hit the militia's car! It's you who are wicked!"

At this time, the two brothers Gibbon and Horse-faced Monkey had just finished counting the money at the counter. They threw the supervisor's body into the freezer, changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, and were all supermarket employee uniforms, and prepared to change into a car to escape. on site.

Sister Susie was watching out for the two brothers at the door. With a gun pointed behind her, she could only help the criminals.

Foianini got out of the car and watched, only to find that the militia duty vehicle did not have the handbrake on, and the rear-end collision caused it to rush onto the road without anyone in the vehicle.

They were so hungry that they were dizzy and ready to go to the supermarket to find something to eat. When they turned on their mobile phones, they found that there was no signal and it was raining too much. The nearby signal base station was completely out of action.

Billy and Foianini supported each other and stepped into the supermarket door.

Foianini is still comforting his good brother.

"She doesn't understand that women are like this. They always think that men have a choice. In fact, there is no choice. If you want to be a hero, you must either succeed or become a benevolent person."
