The first time An Qi heard such a comment about her was when the wet nurse who took care of her said this when she was six years old.
That day she was pedaling a small bicycle, trying to get out of the small town in the Lake Eden area, until she reached the heavily guarded border. The guards intercepted her and informed the nanny that they were coming to pick her up.
That was the first time she wanted to see the street world, but failed.
Children in Lake Eden have a game called "Bank Man and Street Dog", where a group of people divide into two groups and play. The Bank Man always wins and the Street Dog always loses because the Bank Man has various equipment and weapons.
, street dogs have nothing.
Street dogs can't even hold a branch. This is the rule of the game. Whoever becomes a street dog will lose and sometimes get beaten badly.
Some people with potential special disabilities have been revealed since childhood.
Elizabeth Sterling, her cousin, did nothing wrong and just wanted to be a hero. Elizabeth would go around everywhere and jump out to stop bankers bullying street dogs. She would beat anyone who bullied them.
Sometimes it's just her, sometimes there's Sophia Amick.
The difference is that Elizabeth even dares to intervene in the games of children older than herself to try to be a hero, while Sophia usually intervenes in the games of younger children and snatches away everyone's equipment.
In fact, they helped An Qi once when she was a street dog, but Elizabeth probably didn't remember it long ago.
Later, An Qi didn't like playing this kind of game anymore. It was boring and she wanted to go out and see the streets.
After she failed and was captured, she never played Bankman and Street Dog again.
As she grew older, no one liked to play anymore, and she saw through the essence of this Lake of Eden game early on.
It's just that adults want to implant some concepts into their hearts, so that children can understand the importance of resources at an early age, understand the difference in status between banks and streets, and understand the unfairness of this world.
But it was these that gave birth to Angel's rebellion. In the small world where she moved, she always caused trouble.
The most anxious person is the wet nurse. Although she does not have overdrive potential, she is still a highly talented person. Her success in Seth and the bank will also be the wet nurse's success, and vice versa.
The nanny's words were like a prophecy, and as An Qi got older, it became closer and closer to reality.
The wet nurse couldn't control her, so she simply resigned from the family and got out of her trouble before anything happened.
"An Qi is following the same path as her sister Elizabeth, but she has a more wild temperament and is a ghost. She rarely really listens to what anyone says. She has many ideas and is very rebellious. I can't control her."
This is what the wet nurse said when she resigned. An Qi was listening nearby, rolled her eyes, and drank a bottle of beer to celebrate that day.
Now, Angel has passed her sixteenth birthday, has blue hair, and wants to go into the street world again.
Others think that this blue hair is a symbol of her rebellion, but she knows that this is the most boring thing. Dying her blond hair into blue hair is just imitating Sister Liz, a blank imitation.
An Qi found that she became quieter and quieter, had less and less thoughts of her own, and became less and less interesting.
She knew the reason. She was almost at a fork in the road. She had less than two years to live and her death was imminent.
She didn't know which way to die. She hadn't decided yet. Maybe she wasn't as rebellious as her nanny thought.
An Qi really hates this world more and more.
…
The streets of Shouhui Street are always noisy, with a large number of passers-by coming and going, and the buildings in the distance are also densely packed. Even during the day, the neon signs on both sides of the street seem to be shining:
“Hell Games”, “Elephant Bar”, “Gokurukoru”, “Delicious Sushi” and “Licai Club”
Elizabeth's itinerary for Angel was as follows. The first stop was Licai. She would sit here first, then Angel would take her out shopping, then go to Red Rain House, and then we would check the situation.
At this time, two black cars stopped on the roadside in front of Licai's main entrance.
The star boy who was responsible for keeping track immediately ran into the club. His small figure ran into the lively hall and nimbly crossed the dance floor without disturbing any of the dancing guests and Brother Cowherd.
"Coming, coming, boss, sister Liz, they are coming!"
Star Boy ran to a small sofa in the corner and reported to his boss and sister Liz who were drinking tea and chatting.
"I'll go out to pick her up." After hearing this, Elizabeth stood up and walked over. The sword was still on the coffee table, but after their discussion, they decided that Da Bei Bei would stay at the fish pond.
"Boss, you look really handsome today." Xingtong said with a smile, "We are the most handsome cowherd in Licai."
Gu He showed off the look of a handsome angel today, wearing only a colorful jacket, jeans, and a pair of sunglasses. His short black hair was also styled with a refreshing hairstyle. It was all controlled by Elizabeth, as if she wanted to sell him out. .
Elizabeth said that, senior brother, your appearance will directly double the persuasiveness of your speech.
"Xingtong, I know you are sweet. Your mission is completed. Go and play by yourself." He waved his hand, unable to help himself.
Xingtong obeyed and ran away. Only Gu He was left in the sofa area, and Jian Bao on the coffee table. This was the first time that he and Jian Bao were alone together...
"Don't be nervous." Jianbao said in an electronically synthesized voice, "I have detected that what you are best at is deceiving ignorant girls. You can just perform normally today."
"Sword treasure, do rare objects have genders?" Gu He asked.
"Rare objects have no gender, and there is a simple classification in the kingdom of rare objects." Jian Bao said, "Treasures are street vendors."
"No, why do I feel that you are a male sword?" Gu He chuckled, "Da Bei Bei must be a male. Let me tell you, pay attention to what you say, otherwise I will persuade Elizabeth to let Da Bei Bei be you. scabbard."
"The scabbard I want is the scabbard." Jian Bao said, "Unlike you, I can sneak in everywhere."
"Oh my god!" Gu He exclaimed and pointed at it, "I haven't caught you yet. Isn't this just in poor taste?"
"After meeting Da Bei Bei last night, I updated my voice function." Jianbao added, "When faced with low-level things, I will use low-level language so that they can understand."
Gu He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything good for a while, except scolding it in authentic street dog language.
At this time, Elizabeth and Miss Ayin arrived with a group of people.
Angel Sterling, and several of her security personnel.
Gu He looked at the girl he had to deal with today. She had blue shawl curly hair, a gray-black wide-shouldered unbuttoned coat, a white shirt, a gray knee-length skirt, and blue stockings on her legs. And black cloth shoes.
This is a fashionable style among high school students in the Garden District, which is heroic and youthful.
She is neither tall nor short, shorter than Elizabeth. Her face is not similar, but she is also very beautiful. Her nose is high and delicate, and her eyes are big, not blue, but brown, but also smart.
The girl was chewing a piece of gum and looked like she wasn't particularly interested in her surroundings.
Miss Ayin brought them over and walked away.
"This is Angel." Elizabeth introduced, "This is also an angel."
Angie is the nickname version of Angela, which means angel.
Regarding the coincidental interest in this name, An Qi just raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"I've heard about you." An Qi looked at the handsome angel sitting on the sofa, "Where are you going to take me to see today? Is there anything interesting?"
"Just take a walk." Gu He responded, "There is a kabuki performance and there is a wrestling match at the big warehouse."
Today was the first time An Qi came into contact with the street. He and Goose agreed that the goal was to get to know each other initially and give her some interest, affection and thoughts.
A garden girl ran into the dogs on the streets of Kabukicho, which was a huge cultural shock.
Even Goose himself had a buffer after living in Jianggu District for a year, so he could adapt to the streets so easily.
"Two angels, let's talk." Elizabeth took the sword and left, "I'm still busy with things over at Hongyu, so I'll see you there." Leave it to the senior brother to entertain An Qi, so that An Qi can feel more at ease.
Elizabeth understood that state. For Angel, coming to the streets like this was no less than entering another world.
It was as if she had become another person, and any acquaintance or bank person would prevent her from embracing that feeling.
The feeling of not being Miss Seth's Angel Sterling, but being another Angel.
An Qi sat on the sofa, still chewing gum. The security guards and others were far away. She and the handsome angel were the only ones left in the area. She blew a bubble until it popped.
, took it back to his mouth and chewed it.
"I heard Elizabeth say that you want to see the streets, not the garden area or the central area."
Gu He said in a gentle voice, "I have been to many streets in the city, and Shouhui Street is considered peaceful..."
He paid attention to the console in his mind, [Cowherd Program Progress Bar: Third Level 35%]
When I was working as a Cowherd, this was an important reference value. I wonder if Angel Sterling, who is not yet a transcendent, would use it.
An Qi didn't seem to be listening. She looked around and returned to him, and suddenly said: "Can I see your golden cudgel?"
Gu He choked and almost took a breath of air. He must be referring to the flesh-and-blood stick of the Holy Grail program.
Displaying requires holy water, and Ku Bao still has to wait for him to save enough holy water to activate it, and it is inconvenient in the club.
"Miss Angel, I only show my weapons when fighting."
"Oh." An Qi rolled her eyes slightly and moved to sit next to him, "Then can I touch your chest muscles?"
"..." Gu He's image of a handsome man has almost collapsed. Although after these few months of hard work and the stimulation of neurotransmitters from the doll program, he does have good chest muscles now, but...
Why did this guy act like this as soon as Elizabeth left?
They say teenagers are difficult to deal with, but she came prepared.
"Does the Cowherd Club on the street talk about literature and art?" An Qi was very interested.
"It's not impossible." Gu He shrugged. Didn't Xiuji just write a new book? Maybe she would like it.
"The biggest feature of the streets is that they have everything." He said seriously, "There are everyone among the street dogs. No matter who or what, they will find a use on the streets."
"Steven Leikuo?" An Qi thought of something, "It seems that his street dog's name is Lei Tai."
The disabled man was assassinated by the ghost woman.
For a person with potential special disabilities, this is like a negative teaching material...
Gu He thought for a while and could only say: "Leitai made his own choice and lived a wonderful life."
"I don't want to listen to big ideas today." An Qi blew sugar bubbles, "This kind of truth, that kind of truth, it's boring."
She leaned against the backrest of the sofa and raised her head, "I'm only sixteen years old, but I'm about to die."
"Well..." Gu He knew that the death An Qi was talking about was becoming a blood eater. For those who are unwilling, that is a kind of death.
"It might be a good idea to die now." An Qi added with a clear voice: "I won't become old and ugly one day, but I don't want to be a virgin when I die. I heard that you will go to hell."
Who said that? Gu He was stunned, is there such a religious saying? Why is it the other way around?
It was just a little bit of confusion that she showed, with the confusion of adolescence.
"An Qi, then don't die, live how you want." Gu He said, "You still have a chance to seize it."
"Is that so?" An Qi reached out and touched the chest muscles that were half-covered and half-exposed in his jacket, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"I..." Gu He felt that sitting here chatting was not going to work. Although An Qi was not arrogant to him and was very bold in words and deeds, this was just superficial, because she didn't really take it seriously, so she talked about it so casually.
If it was really just Cowherd's job, that would be fine, that would be fine; but today she was not asked to do some Cowherd work.
"Let's go for a walk." Gu He stood up and walked over, "I'll take you to see the streets."
An Qi rolled her eyes with a smile, then felt bored again, continued chewing gum, got up and followed.
Not long after, the two walked out of the Licai Club, followed by a small team of Seth security personnel.
Gu He took An Qi walking on the street. She saw Jane's impassioned speech and Boxer singing wildly on the street corner. Several call girls onlookers were crazy about it and shouted: "Fist Brother,
Fuck me!”
But to Boxer's ears, it was just a buzzing sound, and he continued to focus on playing the guitar and singing.
An Qi looked at this and that, not uninterested, but not surprised either.
Although she didn't go to the streets much, she had heard and seen that a large group of bodyguards were there to protect her when walking around. These sights were not unusual. Only when she saw street children walking by in groups did she
Stop and watch for a while.
In the past, even if you went shopping on the streets, homeless people and street children would be removed by security in advance, saying it was for safety reasons.
"Isn't there a Hongyu House here?" An Qi asked.
"They can only accept some street children there, the younger ones, the disabled ones, and the sick ones." Gu He said, "Elizabeth's goal has always been to help more street children, but she doesn't have enough money."
"At the charity gala two days ago, sister Liz just raised 20 million." An Qi asked again, "Is it enough for a while?"
Twenty million!? Gu He was shocked. They were really rich guys, easily worth millions and millions...
But Big Goose didn't open a bottle of wine for him, and neither did Goose. She didn't even open a bottle of beer just now!
"I can't say for sure. I don't know Hongyu's financial situation very well." He sighed truthfully.
At this time, a group of black-clad bosozō drove by on the road, seemingly intending to demonstrate, and their vehicle engines roared.
"Well, that's the Hirata group, saying hello to you." Gu He had to explain, "They are actually good people, but they don't have a good attitude towards people with unfamiliar banking backgrounds."
An Qi didn't care. This was a new experience. She had never encountered such a thing before.
Not just the Bosozoku, many passers-by on the street knew that this girl was a bank dog when they saw she was protected by bodyguards. If they hadn't recognized that Gu He was there and gave him face, there would have been many people booing her.
Despite this, some people will still laugh and say a few words when passing by:
"Gu Dasheng, who is this young lady?"
"Look at the logo on these bodyguards' clothes, Seth's people, right?"
"Here comes another Miss Seth, red-haired, blue-haired, haha."
None of this mattered, but Gu He suddenly saw something again, and his heart suddenly became nervous, Lorna!
Lorna has been quite idle these days. She has no work to do, and she is not in a hurry for other parts of the program, so she drives her off-road vehicle on the road and "slips" from time to time. He values Pants, but she values the off-road vehicle. At least now
Sooner or later, I have to take a walk.
In this way, maybe before he saves enough holy water to activate it, its qualifications can increase, from bronze to silver.
At this time, Lorna also saw him, and the already slow-moving off-road vehicle slowed down even more.
Gu He, dressed in a masculine look, was shopping with a high school girl.
The schoolgirl's broad-shouldered coat and knee-length skirt were incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Who is this?" Lorna shouted to Gu He while sitting in the car, "Have you come to the zoo to see the monkeys?"
While Lorna was looking, An Qi was also looking at the woman with messy black hair and green eyes.
"I went over to say hello to my friend." Gu He said to An Qi and walked quickly to the SUV. He didn't want to cause trouble. He said softly: "That is Elizabeth's cousin."
"Where's the big cup?" Lorna didn't see the thermos cup in his hand.
"Put it in the fish pond." Gu He looked at An Qi and continued to walk forward under the protection of bodyguards, and then briefly explained to Lorna, "She is a potentially disabled person, and we want to help her find herself."
.”
"Then you just want to drag her into the water." Lorna laughed, shook her head and said: "You two are really bad people. It's not enough for you to suffer yourself, but you also want to drag others. But I think it's not going well for you. When I look at her eyes
I just knew there was no chance."
Gu He scratched his head, An Qi didn't seem to be touched at all for the time being.
"It's the first time. It's just the beginning. I will take her to the Red Rain House later..." he said.
"It's useless, you and red-haired Liz, you are too gentle to her, but don't you want her to feel uncomfortable?"
Lorna was very unhappy, "Why does she feel uncomfortable when you take her to play and coax her? Besides, you can't see much good things in Shouhui Street. If you let her go to the Red Rain House, why don't you let her go?"
She thought all the street rats were living a good life.
"And let me ask you, are there only children in this city? Others are not human beings. Will they automatically live a good life as soon as they grow up? There is no use letting her wander around here. Go to the Hexiang District, the big houses, the muddy ponds, then
Planting the land is enough."
After hearing what Lorna said, Gu He muttered: "What you said is not unreasonable, but..."
"But damn, you are so embarrassed to say that you are a cowherd." Lorna rolled her eyes and said, "That girl is a wild girl at first glance. If you take your time with her, she will only find it boring."
Lorna was about to step on the accelerator, "Look at me, I'm free anyway, I'll take her to the mud pond."
"We just caused trouble in the voodoo area, aren't we still waiting for things to subside?"
"The mud pond is very big. Don't go in the direction of the Voodoo District, but go to the edge where it meets the Walled City District. If nothing happens, it will be more real if something happens. That's street life. There is no good day."
Lorna drove off in the off-road vehicle, but Gu He couldn't stop her and had to walk up anxiously.
The car approached Angel in a blink of an eye. Lorna honked the horn and shouted out the car window:
"Hey, blue-haired Miss Sterling, I'm the red-haired one's friend. You want to see how shabby the streets are, don't you? Come on, get in the car, I'll take you to the muddy pond and let you see what it means
Heaven, we're in a slush pond.'"
An Qi stopped and looked at the woman again...
"This is Lorna." Gu He came over and said, "She is a good friend of Elizabeth and I. I am joking with you."
"I'm not kidding, don't you want to climb out of the high wall and have a look?" Lorna laughed, "Are you scared again? But let me say in advance that the mud pond is really a chaotic and dangerous place, and you may have to do a lot of work if you go there.
shelf."
Oh my god, Gu He has already seen that An Qi seems to be really persuaded by Lorna now.
"An Qi, I'll take you to Red Rain House..." he was about to say.
"I want to go to the muddy pond." An Qi turned to look at him, "Please, don't say the kind of things a nanny would say."
What, a nanny? Gu He was startled, wasn't he a handsome angel all the way? This little girl thinks he looks like a nanny?
No wonder Niu Langzhi has not moved. He hesitates to speak. After being in contact with An Qi for such a short time, based on his shallow understanding of An Qi, once he solidifies this image, he really does not need to participate in this matter.
Jian Bao, let’s just say you only know nonsense. Just perform normally.
Even so, Gu He still couldn't make such a decision, "An Qi, let's ask Elizabeth first."
"I want to go on my own, why should I ask Sister Liz?" Angel said, "You just let me live how I want to live, but as you can see, there are all kinds of obstacles to where I want to go."
"Haha!" Lorna laughed after hearing this. "We want to go to the mountaintop hot spring in the Acropolis Mountains, but there are many obstacles. We need red-haired Liz to agree, right? I think she will agree, and she will go together.
Don’t want to take a gamble?”
"Uh..." Gu He thought for a moment and felt that Goose might really do that, "I won't bet."
"I'm going to Hongyu first. You guys can stroll there." After that, Lorna stepped on the accelerator and drove off. Another sentence floated out from the car window: "You go back and bring Da Bei Bei, it's so
Likeable, more useful than you!"
Gu He wanted to say that you like this impressive thing, but Miss Sakai hates it now.
"Big Bei Bei?" An Qi asked, very interested in the name, "Is it a nickname?"
"No...it's not a human being, it's a relatively low-level strange object..."
