Chapter 532 The simple folk customs of Gotham City (2)

   With Yu Chu's current savings, he can only find narrow rental houses in dilapidated residential buildings. Some of these places have no one to live in all the year round. It would be nice to have a clean one.

   She contacted the new landlord and went with a package of clothes.

  The new landlord is a middle-aged man with a weak voice, very thin and pale. He took Yu Chu to see the house, the two signed the contract and paid the rent, and he handed the key to Yu Chu.

  When the two stood in front of the door talking, neighbors came back from time to time in the corridor, looked at them indifferently, walked into their own door, and slammed the door.

  The landlord also seemed to have not seen these neighbors, still speaking in a weak tone, explaining some things to Yu Chu, and finally leaving.

   Yu Chu walked in and looked around.

   The new house is clean and has complete appliances. Although the rent is a bit expensive, it is only a few subway stops and bus stops from the convenience store where she works, which is quite convenient. She simply tidied up the house, remade the bed, and carefully checked that there were no cameras or other dangers in the house, and then she was relieved.

no way.

  This city is so weird.

   You can only be cautious.

   Yu Chu sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

  This house is very sunny. Open the curtains and face the warm sunlight. Living here feels a lot better.

   The tragic fate of the original owner in the plot is not just her life experience.

  After her parents died, the original owner lived alone, but she had several excellent relatives. A few days after the salary was paid every month, relatives would come to her house and rob her of most of her salary. If the original owner didn't go home to avoid them, they would stay around for a long time until she appeared, and the relatives' children of the same age dragged her to the corner and beat her, and then still stole most of the money. Once they attacked hard, and the original owner's leg was kicked and broken. Because of the lack of timely treatment, the root cause of the disease was left. Later, he walked with a limp.

   In addition, the original owner has been abused, harassed, and ridiculed by the boss at the workplace for a long time. When she was seventeen, because of her outstanding appearance, she often encountered hooligans on the subway and buses. Usually, the original owner would deliberately pretend to be ugly before she dared to go out, but one day she went out in a hurry, and only remembered when she walked into the subway station. She shivered all day, and customers did not dare to look up and say hello when they entered the door. own ideas.

   The day passed safely, but when I got home that day, I got on the subway, but I was still being watched. Several well-dressed decent men surrounded her, tall, short, fat and thin, with briefcases in their hands. The people outside looked like dogs, but they approached her with a wicked smile. These people are also submissive people at the bottom in this society, but at this time they rely on bullying girls at lower levels to obtain self-satisfaction.

  The original owner was dragged away by them. Fortunately, there were police passing by nearby, so he survived the accident. He staggered home and nearly collapsed.

  Although she persevered in the end, she still had mental problems, she was in a trance, couldn't sleep at night, often had severe tinnitus, and when her mind was dizzy, she would suddenly forget who she was and where she was. In this groggy state, the convenience store owner quickly fired her. Before she was fired, she was moved by the beauty of the original owner, tried to rape, and was smashed on the head with a vase by the original owner in a panic.

  The original owner hurriedly ran home, was in a trance for a long time, and finally grinned, completely insane.

   The owner of the convenience store was accidentally crushed to death by her, but no one called the police, so no police came to arrest her. She started wandering aimlessly at everyone, not eating or drinking, and was starving to the bone, and was finally noticed and called the police.

  The police sent her to a mental hospital.

   The doctors and nurses in the mental hospital are indifferent, and some even take pleasure in abusing their patients. Anyway, the people here are all lunatics, and normal people won't attract anyone's attention when they die, let alone lunatics? This is not so much a mental hospital as it is a paradise of **** violence. Between doctors and patients, between patients and patients... In a chaotic hospital, all crimes are normal. The original owner finally died in this hospital, ending his life quietly.

   She has nothing to worry about in this world, and no one will collect her corpse.

   In the end, he was rolled up on a straw mat and thrown into the barren hills.

   This life can be described as extremely tragic.

   After receiving all the original plots, Yu Chu couldn't help being silent for a long time.

   She frowned and simply sat down and practiced martial arts for a while.

   Then she walked to the kitchen, picked out a sharp fruit knife, and put it in her carry-on bag.

   The most important thing in this city is to protect yourself.

   Nothing is more important than this.

   And the original owner's wish is to live well, not to be bullied by others, and to live a normal life.

  This desire is not difficult at first, but in this repressive and pathological society, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. There is such an atmosphere and environment around, everyone is suppressed, looking forward to resistance, explosion, transformation and crime...

   It's easier said than done to live like a normal person.

  Yu Chu rubbed his forehead slightly, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then decided to visit the convenience store where he worked.

  Convenience store is two clerks work in turn, in addition to the original owner, there is another young girl. The two of them had one turn for one day, and today it was the other's turn, so the original owner didn't go out at home.

   The original owner didn't have a lame leg at this time, but his spirit was already in a trance. In this environment, she had problems because of long-term stress, so when she didn't go to work, she would lock herself at home, sleep for a long time, or stay in a daze and talk to herself.

Yu Chu recalled the original plot, changed his clothes, and applied a scary white foundation on his cheeks according to the original owner's previous method, and deliberately put on dark eye makeup, making himself very haggard and covering his fair base. Color, looks a lot ugly.

   After being ugly, it's much safer here. In this city, no one pays attention to ordinary people.

   She put on makeup before going out.

   Mainly want to get familiar with the route.

   She took the subway, changed to the bus, and walked along the route.

   Walking to the front of the convenience store, Yu Chu saw the girl in the store from a distance, greeted the customer in uniform, and took the customer's bread to help heat it.

   She watched for a while, didn't go in, turned and left.

There was an old man selling balloons on the street. He walked tremblingly, and halfway through, he was deliberately knocked down by a few children running behind him. The crutches fell to the ground, and his hands were not stable. The balloon was released immediately, although he quickly I reached out to grab it, but most of the balloons still floated up into the sky, dangling far away.

  The children kicked the crutches far away and ran away laughing.
