[17 years old: The first day of the new year starts with seeing snow plows sweeping away the frozen corpses on the roadside.
The salary of an apprentice is not high, with a weekly salary of 82, and you have to work more than ten hours a day, but fortunately, food is included, and you can also pack some leftovers to take back to your mother and sister.
The eldest brother often comes to visit his mother and sister. When he sees you, he is just silent and then hugs you. He knows that you could have gone to college.
He never fell in love or got married. He usually lived in the factory and sent all his money back.
He always said, 'Be patient for a while and it will be fine.'
You met a friend named Yorn in the restaurant. He was an apprentice like you. He seemed to know a lot and was always talking.
For example, he will tell you, 'Electric energy is not actually transported from other cities, but is generated by nuclear power plants in the city. Heavy snowfall in winter blocks roads, but it does not actually affect electricity. The increase in electricity bills is simply the evil intentions of the energy group.'
He has a smart bracelet, and he just swipes information on it when he has nothing to do. The smart bracelets and data traffic in Rock City are very expensive, so you are reluctant to buy them.
Yon told you that there is a man named "K" in the south, leading many people to resist the consortium. K will help those who are bullied by the consortium.
You don’t know who K is, and you asked Yon about K’s deeds. Yon doesn’t know much about K. He told you a lot about flying to the sky and escaping from the earth. You think most of him is bragging, but this doesn’t matter.
You think K should be a very great person.
Just like the knights and heroes in the story.
You ask Jon, ‘What weapon does he use?’.
First he said it was a gun, then he said it was a sword.
In summer, there are more and more people wandering on the streets.
There are a lot of empty houses, a lot of people are homeless, and Yohn said there are a lot of houses being auctioned off every day, from people who have lost their jobs and can't pay back their mortgages.
The top floor of the restaurant is a luxury box, where many well-dressed people come to dine every day.
They drank a bottle of red wine worth ten years of your salary and ate delicacies shipped from all over the federation.
Apprentices like to serve side dishes in these restaurants. They can taste these expensive dishes secretly. However, many dishes are exquisitely plated, so it is not easy to taste them secretly. If they are discovered, they will be beaten severely.
Jon was caught and beaten once. He lay in bed for several days and almost lost his job. After he came back, he became much more honest, but he still brags with you from time to time, but the frequency is reduced.
My mother's health seems to have improved a lot and she can walk on the ground. My second sister's mental state has improved a lot after training.
You seem to have seen Fifth Sister on the road, but you seemed to be dazzled.
There is still no news about the fourth brother.
Winter is here again, and there are more and more homeless people on the streets. The price of electricity continues to rise, and so does the price of coal. Some wilderness wanderers have begun to sell wood. The landscape trees on the streets are rapidly decreasing and are about to be cut down.
Already.
However, some of the trees surrounding consortiums, factories and shopping malls are owned by owners. The consortiums have organized wood guard teams, and when they encounter people who cut down trees illegally, they shoot and evict them. Tramps often die under the gun.
There is still an endless stream of guests in the luxury boxes on the top floor.
The eldest brother was fired.
The eldest brother made no mistakes and did his job well, but the factory carried out a salary cut for all. The eldest brother's salary maintained the medication of the second sister and his mother. It had been reduced three times and could not be reduced anymore, so he went to the factory.
The Lord tried to ask for mercy.
Then he was fired.
It is difficult to find a job in the winter. After the eldest brother lost his job, he could only find some cheap odd jobs, but he could not afford the medicines for his mother and second sister. Fortunately, the second sister and mother were much better and no longer needed those medicines.
.]
[18 years old: The second sister has recovered a bit and often goes out for walks. She said she met the fifth sister on the road, following a young man.
Soon, you also met the fifth sister. She hurriedly found you in the restaurant and gave you a memory chip. It turned out that she knew where you were all along.
She told you that the chip contained evidence of the massacre of workers in the mine, and then she left in a hurry before you even had time to say a word.
You found Yon, learned how to copy the chip, and spent most of your savings in a digital store to buy several chips and a smart bracelet that could read the copied chips.
You don't know what to do. You want to go find your third brother, but the prison doesn't allow you to visit.
You ask Yon what to do if you want to sue the mining consortium. He said that for cross-city cases like this, you should contact the FBI or the city's mining-related congressmen to see if they can do anything.
The second sister is missing.
When you got home, there was no sign of your second sister at home.
The eldest brother said that he had been to the area where the second sister often went before, and he went to find the second sister.
The eldest brother also disappeared.
It was also very cold at the beginning of the year, with heavy snow falling from the sky.
Mother passed away.
You feel as if someone is watching you nearby. You have no money to hold a funeral, so you can only hold a simple ceremony while looking for your missing brother or sister.
You delayed sending your mother to the crematorium until the last day stipulated by the city government.
At the crematorium, you saw the staff playing with a piece of jewelry from Fifth Sister. You had seen this piece of jewelry when Fifth Sister sent the chip.
You drag the staff member to a corner and threaten him with force.
He told you that a corpse like this was delivered a few days ago. It was covered with whip wounds when it was delivered. It was finally cremated as a homeless man and received municipal subsidies.
There were two people sent along with the fifth sister, who had similar characteristics to the second sister and the eldest brother.
You feel suffocated, you can't talk to anyone, and you can't contact any of your relatives.
You used your last bit of savings to buy an old sword in a handicraft store. You couldn't have bought it, but the boss saw the cross on your chest and sold the sword to a very low price.
you.
After that, you went straight to the FBI.
The FBI building is not far from your home, in the direction where your second sister often walks.
You give the copied chip to the FBI agents, and you tell them that this is the original.
Shortly after leaving the FBI, you felt like you were being followed.
You didn't get rid of the stalker, you were attacked and hid in a nearby alley.】
[Your mission is: Investigate and reduce frequent death cases in Rock City. 】
【Wish you a happy game】
When He Ao regained consciousness, the icy cold wind rushed into his throat.
He reached out and touched it, and there were hard ice shards under his hands.
At this moment, he was sitting against the wall, and the long blood trail extended to the end of the brilliance on the frosty ground that reflected the dim light of the street lamp.
It should be March now.
Spring has begun in Chenxi City and everything is recovering, but it is still a cold winter in Rock City.
He Ao reached out and grabbed it. The old sword was now tightly held in his hand.
In fact, if Nel had exchanged his money for guns, his critical situation would have been much less severe.
But he can't afford a gun.
The only money he had left to buy this sword was the boss's mercy.
The weekly salary of restaurant apprentices is only 82 federal dollars. Although food is included, it is almost impossible to have any money left over because they are apprentices and cannot buy social security and medical insurance.
This kind of work requires two years of work before you can be transferred to a regular job.
The sound of hurried running came from both sides of the alley.
He Ao stood up from the ground with difficulty, feeling severe pain in his left chest and right shoulder, which were two bullet wounds.
In addition, his right thigh and left arm were also shot, but the bullets did not stay in the flesh and passed through.
The footsteps on both sides were gradually slowing down, and those chasing him were slowly surrounding him.
A familiar chase.
He Ao smiled self-deprecatingly.
He used his sword to support his body with difficulty and activated his super memory.
