[Ding! Mission triggered: The Only Serious Philosophical Question (1/2): Follow the girl back to her home]
[Task completion reward: random attribute points*2]
Ning Yu's footsteps, which had just been about to leave, suddenly stopped, but the girl behind him had already lowered her head again.
I didn't expect that the tasks could be triggered twice consecutively on the same person. System, you are taking advantage of one person.
Now that the mission has come, there is no reason not to do it.
Ning Yu pretended to leave the free trade zone, but actually hid at the exit.
She did not choose to go to the exploration team first, for fear that if the girl left early, she would lose the chance to return to her home with her.
Ning Yu had excellent eyesight and was able to lock onto the girl's movements from a distance, as if he was tracking an assassination target.
It’s just that in her previous life she needed the help of props, but now she can do it with just her naked eyesight.
The items displayed on the girl's stall were too trivial and not many people came, but the girl seemed to not care at all about the prices.
Faced with people asking questions, she seemed to be indifferent and made concessions again and again, only exchanging very few coupons with the patrons.
After a long while, it was almost time for dinner. Ning Yu felt a little hungry, but it was not a big problem for her.
The girl seemed to have finally given up the idea of continuing to sell. She picked up the things on the ground, and there was still a small pile left.
Maybe he plans to sell it tomorrow.
Seeing the girl slowly leaving the free trade zone with her bag on her back, Ning Yu remained calm and followed her from a distance.
Instead of going straight home, she ran to the vegetable market and exchanged the coupons she had just exchanged for some vegetables and a small amount of meat.
Ning Yu observed her, but didn't notice anything unusual, nor did she know why the system suddenly issued a task.
After buying the vegetables, the girl went straight back to the residential area with her bag on her back and the vegetables in her hands.
Ning Yu had been following her, planning to follow her back to her home and complete the first phase of the mission.
Soon after, the girl stopped in front of a door, but instead of taking out her key, she started knocking on the door.
What's going on? Isn't this her home? "Grandma Zhao, are you home? It's me."
The girl called out in a soft voice, seeming a little weak.
There was no response from inside.
The girl had no choice but to knock on the door harder.
"I brought you some food. Are you feeling better?"
But this knock actually caused the door of the room to open a little bit inward. It turned out that the door was not locked tightly.
With a little force, it slid inside.
“Pah.”
As the door opened, the bag of vegetables in the girl's hand seemed to fall to the ground.
The girl suddenly rushed into the room, and Ning Yu hesitated whether to follow her.
After thinking for a while, he approached the door at a very fast speed and looked inside quietly.
The girl was not in the living room and must have gone to a room.
After confirming that there was no one else there, Ning Yu slowly walked into the room.
As soon as she entered the door, Ning Yu smelled a bad stench. She was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell of a rotting corpse.
Then she heard the girl sobbing in the bedroom, low, weak, and intermittent, as if she was about to die.
"Why. Why is it like this?"
"Even you."
Probably very sad.
There was no need to check what was in the room, Ning Yu probably guessed it.
Just looking at the situation, this should not be the girl's home.
Before long, a member of the Ark staff received the girl's call for help and came to clean up the body. Ning Yu hid in the dark and observed.
View the communication and inquiries between the staff and the girls by lip reading.
"Are you hers?"
The staff member seemed to want to ask about the relationship between the girl and the old lady's body in the room.
The girl just shook her head:
"We met by chance. I sometimes come to take care of my grandma. She is alone and can't work."
Ning Yu read the girl's words through her lip movements and suddenly thought of a very specific question.
How can the disabled, the elderly, and the seriously ill and lonely survive in a place like the Ark? I'm afraid there is no good solution.
If a rescue or minimum living security mechanism is really added, the base will probably be unable to make ends meet.
How many kind people are there like the girl who are willing to help others when they are in a bad situation? Or, can you blame those who are in trouble for not helping the weak? So in the seemingly hopeful ark, there will still be inevitable things that happen, all thanks to the doomsday.
There are always helpless souls who die in dark corners without anyone knowing.
Watching the staff's skilled movements, the girl felt she had lost all her strength and sat down against the door of the corridor.
She didn't even pick up the food that had just fallen on the ground. In the end, the staff gave it to her when they left.
Ning Yu was observing from a distance. The girl sat on the ground motionless for a long time. She couldn't help but look at the time with her watch.
She has been sitting there for nearly 2 hours.
This task seems to be taking some time.
After waiting for another hour, the girl finally stood up and slowly began to move.
Ning Yu just stared at her and followed her quietly.
After walking to the end of the corridor, the girl finally took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
After the girl entered, Ning Yu observed that there was no one around and then walked over quietly.
He took out a thin metal wire from the system space, quietly inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it a few times.
The door lock was opened by Ning Yu, but Ning Yu did not rush in. Instead, she listened carefully through the door.
There was no movement inside.
She opened the door a little and looked inside.
No one.
She only pushed open a hole large enough for her petite body to pass through and entered the girl's room.
The whole room was dimly lit and the curtains were drawn, giving people a feeling of desolation and decay.
If she lives in such an environment for a long time, her depression will probably become more and more serious, right? But it is difficult to say whether it is because the environment aggravates the depression or because of depression that such an environment at home occurs.
Ning Yu heard that this disease is like an abyss. Once you are entangled in it, you will sink deeper and deeper, like a vicious cycle.
And sometimes we have to endure the contempt, misunderstanding and even verbal violence from people around us.
It sounds like no big deal, but it is a very painful disease for patients.
She slowly scanned the living room. The girl was not there. Did she go to sleep? Suddenly, Ning Yu saw a photo frame with a group photo on it.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and she could clearly see the smiling girl in the photo, and a face that Ning Yu was familiar with.
It is Wan Heng who is already dead.
