Ch 14: Fucking World
“Like this…”
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, looked down at the woman, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he didn’t say much, just nodded.
“Then I’ll take her.”
The white coat sighed and nodded.
The middle-aged man with the cigarette nodded, then turned around, and the smoke chains behind him directly dragged the woman into the air… She was still screaming at this moment, but was bound by the smoke chains and floated away behind the middle-aged man with the cigarette.
The people around saw this scene, and they all hurriedly made way, and soon the figures of a few people disappeared…
And it wasn’t until the figures of the few people disappeared that the crowd erupted.
“That just now… was an Esper, right?”
“Yeah, Captain Zhang of the Night Watch.”
“You know him?”
“We’ve had a few drinks…”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you about this?”
Everyone was discussing.
“That girl… whose family is she from?”
“I don’t know…”
“I know… from the 17th floor of Building Five, she seems to be only in her twenties… it’s really pitiful…”
“Ah?”
“17th floor of Building Five? Which room?”
Some people were still discussing the woman’s identity, and when someone mentioned her address, a few girls screamed in disbelief and hurriedly asked.
“Ah? You know her? 1702.”
“Re, really Senior Chen?!”
“No, impossible!”
After getting the answer, a few girls were all incredulous.
They obviously knew the woman.
But the woman they knew was a cheerful and gentle senior, who was very kind to them. But the woman’s appearance just now was too frightening, and they were scared, and they didn’t dare to look.
And they never thought about Senior.
At this moment, when they heard that it might be Senior Chen, their faces immediately changed.
One of the girls immediately took out her phone and made a call.
But after waiting for a long time, no one answered, and her face became increasingly pale.
“I don’t believe it, I’ll go up and take a look!”
In the end, she directly rushed into the building where the woman had run out of just now.
Her few companions also hurriedly followed in.
But a few minutes later, they walked out with a dazed expression…
“Is it her?”
The person who had just recognized Senior Chen sighed and asked.
The girl’s face was ashen, and in the end, she burst into tears.
“How could it be, Senior is such a good person, how could it be like this… how could it be like this…”
She wailed.
Her companions beside her couldn’t stop shedding tears either, and walked over to hug the girl, comforting her in a low voice.
This scene made many people sigh, and could only remain silent.
What can you do?
This is this fucking world.
“Taken away by the Night Watch… what, what will happen to her?”
Someone asked the white coat.
The white coat was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: “There’s no way, the girl’s self-awareness has been assimilated by the Weird, and it can’t be cleared. Take her to the Night Watch headquarters… it’s just to give her a quick death.”
“…”
Everyone was silent.
Qin Jin-Nian, who had watched the entire incident not far away, was also silent.
◈◈◈
He didn’t know Senior Chen.
But the impact of this scene on him was enormous… not weaker than the impact the Good Sister Weird brought to him last night.
This is this weird world.
After the Night of the Blood Moon, there will always be some people who turn into something strange… human-like, but not human.
But this girl’s situation was the first time he had seen it… In the original owner’s memory, he had also seen some crazy people, but they were all different from this time.
However…
“Bugs…”
He couldn’t help but think of those things formed by the Good Sister’s bodily fluids. Then he looked up at Building Five.
Seventeenth floor?
If he remembered correctly, yesterday… on the balcony, he saw that among the many Good Sisters and Good Brothers, one was on the seventeenth floor of Building Five…
Could it be that this Senior Chen was contaminated by mental pollution at that time?
Then, associating it with those prompts on the panel…
His face stiffened.
That’s not to say…
If he didn’t have the passive of ‘Dark Eyes’, then he, right now, would be almost the same as that woman?
“Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian…”
Suddenly, he felt his neck being touched by a soft little hand. Qin Jin-Nian was startled, and almost used his shadow to give a burst strike.
But in the next breath, Lin Yun’s worried voice rang out, and the shadow popped out its head again, and then quickly braked…
A cold sweat appeared on Qin Jin-Nian’s forehead…
Almost, just a tiny bit…
He turned his head somewhat stiffly, and saw Lin Yun holding Ningning coming to his side.
Ningning used her little hand to touch his neck, her big eyes looking at him, she wasn’t crying anymore, and the look in her eyes towards him was no longer as timid as before…
But Qin Jin-Nian’s face wasn’t very good, and he showed a difficult smile: “Sister Yun…”
With the strength of the shadow ability, if he hadn’t reacted in time just now. Then this pair of mother and daughter in front of him, I’m afraid…
“Xiao Nian, your face doesn’t look very good, is it…”
Lin Yun suddenly noticed Qin Jin-Nian’s somewhat pale face at this moment, and was immediately startled, obviously associating it with the scene of him fainting in the corridor last night.
Coupled with the Weird incident that had just happened, Lin Yun’s eyes also changed a little.
Qin Jin-Nian immediately realized something, and hurriedly said: “No, no, Sister Yun, I’m fine.”
Qin Jin-Nian took a deep breath, and his face gradually recovered.
Lin Yun saw that his face did gradually get better, and only then, after being stunned for a moment, did she slowly feel relieved.
Then, she also gratefully said to Qin Jin-Nian: “Xiao Nian, thank you so much today. If it weren’t for you, I, I, I simply, simply…”
When she said the last part, she was about to be unable to continue, obviously thinking of the terrifying scene just now.
Qin Jin-Nian hurriedly said: “Sister Yun, don’t be like this, I actually didn’t do anything. It’s good that Ningning is fine… Right, she was after all stepped on a few times, you should still take her to the hospital to have a look. Although children have good recovery abilities, but if it’s delayed, that’s also a problem.”
When she heard Qin Jin-Nian say this, Lin Yun was also a little nervous and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, you’re right… Then, then I’ll take Ningning to the hospital for a checkup first. When I come back, I’ll definitely thank you properly!”
She was grateful continuously.
Qin Jin-Nian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said: “Alright, alright, go quickly, don’t delay.”
Lin Yun thanked him profusely, but in the end, she was still worried about Ningning, and carried Ningning away.
Before leaving, Ningning actually took the initiative to wave her little hand at Qin Jin-Nian, and said in her milky voice: “Goodbye, Uncle…”
It directly made Qin Jin-Nian’s heart melt.
It wasn’t until Lin Yun and her daughter left that Qin Jin-Nian exhaled a breath, and then his expression recovered its thoughtfulness.
After pondering for a moment, he no longer lingered, and quickened his pace, walking out of the community…

After leaving the community, Qin Jin-Nian went straight to the vegetable market near the community.
This was his destination.
