Life Copy Game

In this photo, the flames of missile explosions cover the sky like clouds from hell, while drizzle and night become the background of the world.

The missiles, like the god of death, hung tightly above the fighter plane's head.

And in this grand and dim background, under the missiles spitting flames, the weak floating fighter plane was suddenly stretching its head upwards, and tall mechas were behind him, a building. A series of buildings with dim lights flickering in the darkness were at his feet.

The floating fighter plane, as weak as duckweed, floating between the sky and the earth, was now like a strong barrier, protecting the meager fire below.

"beautiful."

Yi Ni stared at this photo and couldn't help but sigh.

There is no ingenious composition or exquisite technique in this photo. What is there is just a snapshot of the space and time. Everything is so harmonious, as if it was God's drawing, completely natural.

Taking a long breath to stabilize her emotions, Yi Ni continued to flip down. When she saw the floating fighter plane being engulfed in the flames of the detonated missile, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

And when I saw the floating fighter plane rushing out of the flames like a god descending into the world, I couldn't help but feel happy.

If she hadn't seen the scenes in this photo, she wouldn't have been able to imagine that the neatly dressed old mayor had experienced such a life-and-death battle before returning to the mayor's mansion.

The most important thing is that the mayor had the opportunity to leave. He didn't have to save anyone. He could leave calmly and let those missiles destroy the mecha and blow up the low-rise building. As long as the casualties caused were eliminated afterwards. Just leave it to the assassins.

As someone who works in the journalism industry, Ini knows the operations involved.

But the mayor did not leave. Instead, he used himself as the most dangerous bait to intercept and blow up all the missiles.

Sounds like a hero from a legendary story, not a federal mayor.

This news must be broadcast.

Yi Ni took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at the boy Jie Lin beside her who was watching her, "These photos of yours are very important and they were well taken. If we can find an excellent special effects artist, we can rely on these The photo reproduces the scene last night, which is even more exciting. It is a great news material, but..."

She paused and opened her mouth slightly.

"You don't have any money, do you?"

The boy Jielin looked at the young woman in front of him and asked calmly.

"Yes,"

Yi Ni's face turned red, her expression a little embarrassed, "I don't have much money, so I can't give you a particularly good price. I can only give you a few tens of federal dollars in cash at most. If you can swipe your credit card, I might be able to give it. higher."

The boy stared at the woman in front of him, seeming hesitant. He turned his head and looked at his mother sitting by the bed.

"Then take it and use it,"

Following the boy's gaze, Zhaojia looked at Yi Ni, paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "If you make money from these photos, it's not too late to pay us for the photos."

"Is this okay?"

Yi Ni glanced at the boy blankly, and then at Zhaojia sitting on the bed, as if she did not expect such an answer from the mother.

"My mom means what I mean,"

Jie Lin reached out to take the camera from Yi Ni's hand and took off the memory chip. He glanced at Yi Ni, handed the chip over, and said quickly, "Didn't you say Mr. Mayor saved us? You are a reporter, so Let everyone know that he has done good things and that he is a respectable person. My father always told me before he was alive that good people should be rewarded."

Yi Ni glanced at Jie Lin's thin face, took the storage chip, and nodded heavily.

"I will."

"That's okay,"

Jie Lin put away the camera and dug out an old thin disposable umbrella from the pile of debris. "I'll take you out of here. The roads around here are blocked. You can't drive in directly. People from outside come here." , things might get stolen.”

"Ah good."

Yi Ni nodded, quickly picked up the umbrella and stood up. She looked at Zhaojia who was lying haggardly on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Goodbye, sister."

"goodbye,"

Zhaojia smiled and nodded, "Be careful on the road."

"Let's go."

At this moment, Jie Lin was standing by the door and waved to Yi Ni.

Yi Ni nodded and left the house, saw the boy lock the door again, and then followed the boy down the stairs.

"Your mother looks very young."

Looking at the boy's rapid downward steps, Yi Ni sighed slowly.

"She is only in her twenties, so of course she is young,"

Jie Lin waved the umbrella in his hand, "Twenty-eight years old, not yet thirty."

"She is so young..."

Yi Ni paused slightly and sighed softly, "I read the information before and found that many malignant tumors can be treated now."

"The doctor said that spending money on surgery can cure the disease, and the sooner the better,"

Jie Lin walked in front and looked forward at the dilapidated low building in the rain outside the corridor window, "But we have no money."

Yi Ni opened her mouth and sighed softly.

She wanted to do something, but she was worried about next week's rent.

She thought for a moment and changed the subject, "Does your mother still have any sisters?"

Yi Ni said doubtfully, "They..."

She paused mid-sentence, realizing she had asked a stupid question.

If Zhaojia's relatives were willing to help her, mother and son would not still be living here, and Jielin would have to go out to work.

"After my father died, we still had some contact with each other. After my mother got sick, we basically had no contact with each other."

At this moment, the two of them had quickly descended to the first floor. Jielin showed no expression at all. He glanced at the white sky and dripping raindrops outside, and said slowly,

"But I don't have any grudges against them. My mother often tells me that life is not easy for them. It's not easy for them. Since I started working, I have realized this even more. It is not easy for them to earn money. How can they support themselves?" It’s already very difficult for me and my family.”

He opened his umbrella and took Yi Ni into the raindrops. "Besides, they are not in contact at all. Every holiday, they still come to see my mother and bring some synthetic meat or canned food. This is already good." .”

Raindrops hit the faded disposable umbrella, and with the staggered footsteps of the two people, it flowed along the umbrella ribs and onto the puddled ground.

There were already some sleepy-eyed people on the narrow road, some holding umbrellas and some running wildly in the rain.

They passed by the two of them quickly and looked slightly surprised after seeing Yi Ni, but they quickly looked away after seeing the boy.

"Most of the people here work in nearby factories, and it's almost time for the morning shift,"

Jielin glanced at the crowd around him and said quickly.

“Can I issue a certificate of fixed address here?”

Yi Ni was a little dazed. She glanced at the abandoned buildings around her and said, "When I went to the factory to find a part-time job, they asked me to provide a certificate of fixed address issued by the landlord or apartment company."

"Yes, some of us had a fixed address before and then moved here without changing our jobs. In this case, we don't need to issue a separate certificate of fixed address."

Jie Lin led Yi Ni forward and said slowly, "There are also jobs that we found after we moved here, and the Prisoners Gang will help us issue proof of fixed address."

"Prisoner Gang?"

Yi Ni was stunned.

"Here."

Jie Lin pursed her lips and motioned Yi Ni to look at the end of the road ahead.

There was a door that seemed to be an exit. The door was sealed with a simple and old car barrier. Several gang members with guns were standing in the awning at the door, smoking.

"The Inmates Rule is the biggest gang in the area,"

Jielin said slowly, "Everyone who lives in this low-rise building has to pay protection fees to them. They maintain the basic order here. Those factories also recognize their fixed address certificates, but our wages also need to be paid." Much less than a normal employee.”

Then he looked back at Yi Ni and continued to move forward,

"Of course, they just maintain basic order. Most of the time they don't care about stealing or robbing things. Only when the trouble becomes big, they will take action and beat up both sides. Even if they are under management, the advantage is that the gangs outside I won’t come here to grab anything.”

Yi Ni nodded slightly, then she looked at the gate guarded by gun-wielding gang members, shrank her neck, and asked in a low voice, "Shall we go out that way?"

"Let's go to the other side, where there's a little door that no one cares about,"

Jielin led Yi Ni into an alley, "Don't worry, they usually don't kill people in public, but if you go there dressed like this, you will be asked for money."

Following Jie Lin, he took a few steps forward and a huge high-altitude curved advertising screen appeared in Yi Ni's field of vision. The advertising screen seemed to cover a large area. The building they were in just now happened to be the blind spot of the advertising screen.

At this moment, this advertising screen is playing an advertisement for an adult product that claims to be able to delay enlargement.

However, this advertising screen is obviously a bit old, and many lamp beads are broken, resulting in colored or black bars in the advertisements played.

"That's the largest advertising screen in the neighborhood. It can be seen in most of the low-rise buildings. I usually put some of these... advertisements."

Jie Lin noticed that Yi Ni was looking at the top of her head and explained casually.

"Can such a big advertising screen here actually pay for itself?"

Yi Ni was a little confused.

"have no idea,"

Jielin scratched his head and continued to move forward with Yi Ni, "I heard Dr. Kewes said when chatting with others that it seemed to be left behind by the previous consortium. The Prisoners Gang spent some effort to get it for free. It goes into their own pockets, and they just spend some money on electricity every day, and they never maintain it."

He looked up at the advertising screen and said, "There are quite a few large billboards like this here, almost in every block, but there are not many of them."

"Perhaps the nearby billboards are almost scrapped, but this single large billboard can fill the vacant market."

Yi Ni thought.

"I don't know. I don't understand this very well. Do you people in St. Yilan District speak so politely?"

Jaelin scratched his head.

"I'm not from St. Ilan's, I live in North Wick and I just work in St. Ilan's."

Yi Ni shook her head and looked away from the advertising screen, "By the way, you just said, Dr. Kvis?"

"He was an underground doctor nearby and lived there,"

Jie Lin pointed to a small three-story building not far ahead. Some people were sitting in line outside the low building at the moment. "Among the underground doctors in this neighborhood, Dr. Kervis is the only one who is nicer and doesn't sell fake products." Medicine, the prescribed medicine is also relatively cheap,”

He glanced sideways at the door of the small building and continued forward with Yi Ni.

"He also gave me a leaflet. Many of the things in that leaflet are quite useful, such as not drinking cold water, gargling more, and bleeding gums may be caused by vitamin C deficiency, and periodontitis may be caused by vitamin A deficiency. There are also B-groups and so on.

"There is also regular cleaning to remove rats, flies and mosquitoes. My mother is weak and we don't have many food sources, so we have to pay extra attention,"

He took Yi Ni into an alley, "Anyway, it feels quite useful. If you follow the instructions in the leaflet, your health will indeed be much better and you won't get sick so easily."

"I seem to have seen that flyer, at your house,"

Yi Ni recalled for a moment, "But the signature is not Dr. Kvis, but Dr. Linn?"

"Yes,"

Jielin continued along the alley and crossed a relatively large pond in front of him, "Be careful with the pond... Dr. Kvis said that he did not make those leaflets, but took them from other places and directly copied them." Yes, I should have gotten it from Dr. Linn."

He paused and glanced at the steel fence in front of him, "That Dr. Linn must be a very good person."

"really,"

Yi Ni nodded, "But the current mayor seems to be named Lynn,"

She raised her head and glanced at the gray sky in front of her, "He seems to have been a doctor before."

"ah?"

Jie Lin was also confused, and it took him a while to realize, "You said Dr. Lin En is the mayor?"

"have no idea,"

Yi Ni shook her head and walked side by side to Jie Lin, "It may be the same name. We need to investigate, but I think it is very possible."

"Why?"

Jielin turned to look at Yi Ni.

"intuition?"

Yi Ni shook her head and moved forward with Jie Lin, "I just feel that what they do seems to be a bit similar."

"Is it similar?"

Jielin scratched his head in confusion and continued to move forward, stopping in front of a break in the fence. "Here we are, go out from here. There is a street outside, and you can get a taxi."

"OK."

Yi Ni glanced at the gap that was as big as one person, and then carefully drilled forward and crossed the gap.

Jielin walked out closely behind her.

Raindrops pattered on their umbrellas, and the flashing neon lights on the street were reflected in the ponds on the road.

Yi Ni raised her hand and hailed a taxi, and just when she was about to put down her bracelet and wait for the taxi to come, a call came from her roommate 'Liz'.

Yi Ni was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jie Lin next to her, and reached out to answer the call.

"Hey, Yi Ni, are you back? My part-time job pays a very high salary, 75 federal coins a day, and I also send someone. Can you come here in time?"

A slightly hurried and joyful voice came from the other end of the phone.

There should be another update later.
