At the hospital.
Jiang Cheng sat there, looking utterly lost.
From morning onwards, his fingertips couldn't help but feel cold, and occasionally he would lose sensation, his palms feeling cold.
Ke Bing was taken to the emergency room, and his current condition is unknown.
The walls were very clean, and everything around was white. The smell of disinfectant permeated the entire corridor, and nurses were walking back and forth, looking very busy.
It's not fair to say that hospitals are heartless places; perhaps it's because they are so used to life and death that there aren't as many emotional fluctuations.
Jiang Cheng looked up at the door of the emergency room, then lowered his head again, seemingly lost in thought.
Did I...do something wrong?
He questioned his own heart again and again.
Jiang Cheng is reborn. According to the law of Laplace's demon, he saves others while harming those around him, so everything will be his fault.
It's not a conclusion that he's a "demon" in the universe, but rather that he brought misfortune.
Zhao Xuerou is dead, Ke Bing is dead, so who will be next?
Just as he was feeling lost, he heard footsteps in the corridor.
You Lixuan came over.
He was still wearing that suit and glasses, his face serious, and his lips tightly pursed.
They must have rushed over.
He took a few deep breaths and asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Cheng knew he was asking about Ke Bing.
"He's still in the emergency room. I don't know his condition. The doctor hasn't come out yet."
"How could such an accident happen?"
He didn't answer, but simply closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
You Lixuan came over with an umbrella. He took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Jiang Cheng.
He opened it and looked.
Because her fingers were too cold, the file folder fell to the ground.
Countless photos were scattered out from inside.
A series of shocking images.
In the dimly lit room, the walls were dilapidated, with several layers of plaster peeling off, and a dim light bulb hung precariously from the ceiling.
The ground was covered with thatch, there wasn't even a bed board, and the children stared blankly at the camera.
Their faces were covered in mud, each of them was skin and bones, with festering boils and sores on their foreheads, and their hair was a mess that looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time.
The little man's lips were dry and chapped, and his large, tattered clothes covered him completely.
Twisted arms, limping movements, and even more so, a broken spine, just like that little girl on Huanjiang Road.
Most of them are disabled; very few are able-bodied.
Sleeping like livestock in this filthy, thatched room, you can tell just by looking at it that the dilapidated house must smell terrible.
None of them were crying; they seemed to have long since given up hope on the endless possibilities of life.
When the police broke down the door, the children's expressions didn't change much.
It wasn't until those villains sleeping in the brightly lit, spacious room were arrested, and the police pressed down on their bloated heads, kicked their big buttocks, and handcuffed them.
Only then did an incredible joy appear in the children's eyes.
Jiang Cheng was deeply moved as he looked at the photos.
He couldn't believe that he would be living in the same dirty and chaotic room as these children, crammed together, needing to sleep on the cold ground in the summer and covered with straw full of insect eggs in the winter to fall asleep.
Will I suffer a mental breakdown?
What about rainy days and snowy days?
Whenever the weather is like this, some frail children die because they can't withstand it.
Then they were thrown into the city's sewers, where rats gnawed at their cold, lifeless bodies.
They came into this world in haste, without enjoying any warmth, and left in haste.
They ate scraps and rotten vegetable leaves that evil people took from the garbage dump.
They were drinking water from the taps in the city's public toilets.
Is this what life should be like?
No one dares to speculate on the evil in human nature.
Because human nature is truly wicked.
Thankfully, it's all over...
"After gaining the support of Kyoto, the entire begging gang was crushed, all the people were arrested, and the forces behind them could not escape responsibility. This incident should serve as a warning to others, and such behavior in other cities will be curbed."
You Lixuan pursed his lips tightly.
When he walked into the room where the disabled child lived, he also felt a moment of disorientation about life.
The scene was truly astonishing.
When you look directly into the eyes of those children, you realize how dark and unfathomable a person's gaze can be...
"What should we do with the people?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"They've been sent to an orphanage."
"In a few days, I will join forces with major research institutions to establish a charitable fund to support these children for the rest of their lives."
"That's for the best." You Lixuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He was hard-hearted, but when faced with human tragedy, he still showed the softness in his heart.
Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He turned his head to look at the frosted glass on the emergency room door.
Although Ke Bing can't see all of this, she would be very happy if she knew.
Jiang Cheng, after You Lixuan delivered these documents, realized for the first time that he had saved the children.
He no longer doubted himself.
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and arrived at the technology tree in his mind.
A valley covered with wildflowers.
There was also a phantom Laplace's demon in the tree.
