Layla walked down the street and looked around with her eyes wide open.
From the appearance, she seems to be a very cute girl, with almost perfect facial features, and her skin is almost white and reflective in the sun, which forms a sharp contrast with the black dress.
However, although she clearly looks like the kind of cute girl who can fly very far with a punch, the reality is completely the opposite. Strictly speaking, her real age is enough to be the ancestor of all living humans.
She's not even human. Her cute appearance is just an illusion, a look made to blend in with the environment, but the essence is just a visual illusion.
The popsicle in her hand came from a grocery store she passed not long ago.
At that time, it was the cry of a child that attracted Leila's attention. She stopped at the door of the store and stretched her neck to look around curiously. She saw a child lying in the store crying and refusing to leave.
He used his whole body weight to pull his mother's hand and shouted that he must eat popsicles. The child's mother couldn't resist, so she had to buy him one.
The child burst into tears as he licked the cold popsicle, and followed his parents with satisfaction.
The girl stood at the door, staring at the departing figures of her mother and child for a long time, looking a little lost. It wasn't until the two shadows, one large and one small, disappeared from the end of the street that she looked away, and then lay down again.
I looked at the cabinet full of colorful packaging on the freezer with curiosity.
Her eyes became more and more curious, as if she was surprised by the magical power of this thing, which could actually make an extremely sad human cub happy in an instant. It must be a very comfortable thing.
The store manager is a very kind uncle. He noticed this little girl in a dress - of course, with such a dress and this rare beautiful face, it might be difficult not to notice her.
He smiled and asked: "Little sister, do you want one too?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
So a minute later, she had a popsicle in her hand.
Leila felt more and more curious.
Not only for this food that she had never seen before, but also for the people living in this world today.
It was completely different from what she remembered.
She thought it might be a matter of perspective, because she had never been among humans before and had some understanding of them. In the past, like her own kind, she felt that humans were no different from other animals, that they were inferior and weak, and were destined to be
Dominate. Afraid of power, they are submissive in front of the strong, but they scheming and killing each other internally.
She had never had any good feelings towards this kind of creature.
But now she feels a little different.
It may also be due to time. Time will change everything. During their long sleep, human beings have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
There were these towering buildings like mountains around, the roads were loaded with four-wheeled vehicles, and many other things. She had never seen them before, but with her understanding of the principles of those things and her perception of the application of energy, she
You can guess how these are used.
But the most important thing is that human beings themselves have changed.
Compared with better buildings and upgraded tools, this is where she feels the biggest change - a world with unprecedented harmony.
They are no longer as guarded and hostile as they used to be. They care about each other, take care of each other, support each other and live together.
She licked the cold and hard thing again, feeling a burst of pleasure in her heart.
They even show kindness to strangers they have never met.
Incredible.
She suddenly found that she had a yearning for the world built by these tiny creatures, and she also wanted to know more about today's humans who made the world what it is...
"Little sister, where is your mother?"
The girl turned her head and saw a man standing behind her. He was wearing a black vest and had a slightly fat face. He seemed to be trying to make himself look more friendly and showed as much concern as possible.
Layla stared at him with her ice-blue eyes for a moment without saying a word, only licking her popsicle again.
"Are you alone?" A hint of imperceptible joy flashed in the man's eyes, "Then come with uncle, and uncle will take you to eat more delicious popsicles."
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then followed without saying a word.
Joy appeared on the man's face again.
Taken the bait.
Most children these days are very smart, and it is not easy to coax them. A child like this who is pretty, not very smart, and has no one to look at is simply the best of the best. He doesn’t know what happened to him.
Only with great luck can you pick up such a big deal.
It's like hitting the jackpot.
As the man walked, he began to imagine what a good price she could get for her, and he even began to think about how to spend the money.
He led the girl away from the noisy urban area, twisting and turning in the complicated streets and alleys. There were fewer and fewer people around, and there were no vehicles or pedestrians. They walked through the dim alleys, picking out the almost empty streets.
The deserted shortcut leads to an old community.
Any child who is a little smarter should realize that something is wrong by now. No matter how slow his thinking is, he should at least feel that the atmosphere around him is abnormal. Therefore, this man always pays attention to his prey, if she shows signs of running away
Just get ready to grab it.
Now that he has avoided the eyes and ears, this place has entered his territory. It is not unacceptable to directly use force or even make some bigger noise.
However, the man soon discovered that he was overly worried and that such a plan was completely unnecessary. Because the girl did not want to run away at all, and did not even show such signs. She was surprisingly cooperative and followed obediently like a doll.
Continue to deal with the popsicle with concentration.
Maybe a fool.
The man frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Her intellectual disability will undoubtedly reduce her points, but it is not a big problem. Her outstanding appearance is still enough to sell her for a good price.
He led the girl upstairs, took out the key and opened the old security door. As soon as he opened the door, there was a burst of noisy voices and mahjong sounds. Four men, some wearing vests and some simply shirtless,
They were sitting around the table playing mahjong enthusiastically.
Noticing that the door was open, one of them turned his head and looked over, and immediately whistled excitedly.
"Okay, brother, where did you find this kind of top quality product?"
The four men immediately abandoned the gambling table and came over with excitement on their faces. They looked at the girl who was brought back carefully, as if they were looking at a delicate work of art.
"MD, I was really lucky today. I picked it up on the road. I just said it and followed it." The man was also very excited and spitted.
"Fuck, that's really bullshit luck."
"Why didn't she respond? She doesn't look very smart?"
"Who knows? She never said anything. Maybe there is something wrong with her brain."
"Ah, that's a pity."
"It's a pity, but the impact is not big..."
"..."
Layla finished her popsicle.
She licked the remaining residue on the stick with unsatisfied intention, and raised her eyes to glance at the men with excited faces.
She found that her conclusion just now was a bit hasty.
From some perspectives, human beings have not changed much, they are the same as before.
They're just better at hiding it.
Several men were discussing excitedly when suddenly someone noticed something: "Wait a minute, look at this child...are her eyes glowing?"
Everyone stopped talking and looked over.
It didn't matter, everyone froze immediately when they saw it.
Just as the stop button was pressed on the process of life, a fear from the depths of the soul took over the whole body, and the trembling feeling paralyzed all the nerves in their bodies, as if they were not even allowed to think.
In an instant, the cute girl who was at the mercy of others like a doll disappeared.
Looking directly into those blue eyes is like looking directly into fear itself.
