Chapter 122 The main text of Chapter 122 is finished...
I have a hometown.
The answer Luo Qing gave was something no one had ever thought of.
Inside the subway compartment, the players were stunned into a trance.
I have a hometown.
But the reality is that people living in the strange domain can no longer return to their hometown.
"Sister, can you come home with us now?"
Someone spoke softly inside the car.
Although Guiyu pulled them in, the predecessors used the dungeon to build a dungeon that imitated the infinite flow, allowing players to enter and exit freely.
What about themselves?
Hearing this question, Luo Qing and Yan Fufeng just smiled and said nothing.
The carriage fell into silence.
Until the subway station announcement sounded again.
The house has been settled.
The players didn’t know where this was, but the place Luo Qing brought them to, the place that could be broadcast live, must have a special meaning.
And when Luo Qing pushed his glasses and led the players out of the subway station.
A huge sign can be seen within the field of view of the live broadcast room.
【Ancuo New Village】
"Jiuquan and Ancuo are the starting and ending stations of the Guicheng subway line that spans north and south."
“Jiuquan is a park, and Ancuo is a special residential area.”
Yan Fufeng said.
What the players saw was a residential complex that looked quite beautiful, with multi-story houses, the highest of which seemed to have only nine floors.
This looks much more high-end than other communities in Ghost City. Whether it is Safe Home or Harmonious Community, the overall planning and appearance look like an old community with old houses.
The Ancuo New Village in front of us looks like a high-end community in reality.
However, it seems that there are not many people living in Ancuo New Village.
“People from our hometown are always obsessed with home.”
"When we arrived here, it was in ruins. The only places we could live in were some of the remaining buildings in the strange domain. In reality, they would be considered dangerous buildings."
"At that time, everyone was always wondering when we could settle down, when we could go home, and if we couldn't go home, would we have a permanent place to live."
"No more wandering around and being on the alert for strange things at all times."
"After we build Ghost City, those who survive will have their own houses, and those who have passed away should also have their own houses."
Luo Qing spoke at this time:
“There’s a saying that history is written by the victors.”
"The same is true of memory. We always remember those who survived. We remember what those who survived did."
"But those who have passed away should not be nameless."
"When we enter this world, we face being forgotten once. If we die, we will be forgotten a second time, becoming truly nameless."
"So, we have archives, we have the grave, and we also have a place to rest."
"There is always a room and a lamp in this world, reserved for our predecessors."
Yan Fufeng looked at Tang Siyang and said, "The descendants of the Bad People can inherit the Ancuo property after their identities are verified."
“I think this place will become more and more popular.”
Tang Siyang pointed at herself. She originally wanted to rent a house in Ping'an Home.
Her mother left her a house.
However, at this moment, no one could say congratulations on having a house. This house was left by a deceased relative.
"Houses in Ancuo New Village can be inherited and used for personal use, but according to Guicheng's laws, they cannot be bought or sold. If the heir wishes to sell, they can only sell it back to Guicheng's management structure and receive a permanent compensation."
"We will continue to keep this house and still keep the original Bad Guys name, but this house will have nothing to do with the seller in the future." Yan Fufeng added.
The players nodded silently. Someone in the crowd whispered, "A temporary burial, huh?"
Yan Fufeng looked back at the player who spoke and gave an affirmative response.
"Yes."
He looked ahead, his eyes seeming to pass through the live camera, sweeping over everyone who was watching the live broadcast at that moment.
"Existing players who have inherited the abilities of their blood relatives can apply for verification of martyr's relatives in the Rugui backend. We will process it as quickly as possible."
Ancuo New Village is very large and the community is well-greened. Even though no one lives here, you can see that there are always people responsible for various tasks and daily maintenance.
“Ancuo New Village, a safe home, a harmonious community, a happy city…”
The player who is a tenant of Ping An Home recited the names of several communities.
"The neighborhoods in Ghost City all have names like this: plain, ordinary, and common. They don't seem to have anything special about them, but they all hold beautiful meanings."
"Yes, yes, there's also Anning New District, and the Ping'anli subway station is right in front of our community."
"I know another one, Ankang Sanatorium."
Luo Qing laughed when he heard that. "Isn't that great? The neighbors in the community all think it's good."
Speaking of neighbors in the community, Liu Yanran suddenly thought of something.
"Sister, neighbors in the community, I remember there was a fat otaku in Unit 2. He had a lot of tentacles. When I first saw him, I almost thought he was weird. Was his deformity not removed?" she asked.
"We live in Building 10, and our neighbor across the street on the seventh floor also has four eyes," said Chen Fangli.
The group of players from Renhe Art Museum, including Chen Fangli, Fan Mingrui and four others, still lived on the seventh floor with a rooftop.
"Some pollution causes organic changes to organs and body mutations that are difficult to reverse. Malignant ones will be removed, while non-malignant ones are determined by each individual. Many people get used to their current bodies, and this bad part has become a part of the body. Removal will hinder daily activities, but since it is not malignant, people will accept their new body." Luo Qing said.
"So they are incompetent and are bad people?" Wang Zixuan asked.
"No." Yan Fufeng replied.
"Most of those who have undergone physical changes are ordinary residents of this city. The Unruly people, on the other hand, will not experience drastic changes on their bodies."
Liu Yanran suddenly looked at Luo Qing, "Then we are in Unit 1, Building 9. Sister Wang and her husband are on the second floor, Sister Zhang is on the fourth floor, Brother Liu and his wife are on the sixth floor, and Aunt Gao and Grandpa Gao are on the seventh floor."
"They are all bad people."
"There's nothing unusual about them; they look like completely normal, ordinary people."
"These neighbors are like the bad guys in red uniforms who serve as Director Wu of Happy Amusement Park."
"Sister, they are guarding you on the front line, right?"
In order to prevent the controller of the copy from losing control, the front-line personnel in red uniforms imprisoned themselves together with the controller of the copy.
And the Ghost City is Luo Qing’s copy.
All the neighbors were cautious with her, afraid that she would get angry and even more afraid that she would lose control.
Liu Yanran suddenly figured it all out.
My sister's ability is called [Growth], which means growth and development. It is precisely because of this ability that no matter if it is a burst water pipe in the community or a disappeared gate, they can all be restored to their original state under the effect of this ability.
"Yes, they have been guarding me for a long time." Luo Qing stared.
"I slept for more than four years, and when I woke up, I was still an active volcano that could erupt at any time."
"Once you use your abilities, malice and negativity will accumulate within you. It's as if endless desires will arise within your mind, and if you're not careful, you can easily be led out of control."
"And every bad person needs an anchor to avoid losing control, to constantly believe, strengthen, and be convinced, to maintain mental stability and regain their humanity."
“We call it a heart anchor.”
Luo Qing did not say what his heart anchor was, and they had already returned to the subway.
"We've taken you to see Jiuquan and Ancuo, and now we're heading home. There's no special bus this time, so we'll take our time back. Anyway, there's bound to be a seat at this stop."
It takes about three minutes to take the subway from Ancuo Station to each stop.
It was already four in the afternoon, and as they stopped at every station, the players saw a large number of passengers: students leaving school, office workers leaving get off work, some carrying plastic bags with a corner of green onions sticking out, some carrying express packages, and still others discussing with their companions which restaurant to eat at that night...
The live broadcast on the forum is still going on.
There were too many people on the subway, and Luo Qing and his wife didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation.
The live broadcast room continued to broadcast freely for forty minutes until the subway arrived at Ping'anli.
Because there were too many tenants, Luo Qing waited a while before leaving the station.
When a group of people walked out of Ping'anli subway station, the first thing they saw was Ping'an Real Estate.
The shop was not locked. At this moment, several neighbors from the community brought their own small stools and were sitting in front of the shop, eating melon seeds and chatting.
"My sister and brother-in-law are back?"
"I'm back, I'm back."
When they saw people coming back, they simply picked up the garbage bags they brought with them for the melon seed shells, and left quickly one by one with their small stools.
Luo Qing shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help laughing
Yan Fufeng walked forward and locked the door of the store.
Luo Qing stood aside and spoke to the people behind him:
"When I was in high school, I fantasized about many different futures. I wanted to be a white-collar worker in a workplace drama, clutching a laptop, wearing high heels, and frequenting high-end places. I imagined that after entering college, I would be spotted by a talent agency and signed, becoming an instant star. I also wondered how rich I would have to be so I could travel the world like those travelers and live a carefree life."
Thinking of this, Luo Qing laughed at himself.
She was young and frivolous back then, and naturally her fantasies ran wild. Counting the time, it has been ten years since she first entered the world of weirdness.
To close Ping An Real Estate, you just need to hang a lock, pull up the shutter, and wait a while.
"I was born in a peaceful era, in a stable and orderly society, so I could have such wild dreams. But not long after, after arriving here, I realized that my ideals were full of hope, but reality was very bleak."
"My dreams in life have shrunk since then. I no longer seek great wealth or fame, nor do I seek freedom and ease."
"If there were no weird things chasing after me, if I didn't have to constantly be on the brink of life and death, if I could return to a peaceful and orderly society, I would just want to be an ordinary couple with my lover."
After closing the shop, Luo Qingyan and Fu Feng walked towards the community hand in hand.
They walked past the 404 convenience store, the steamed bun shop, the beef noodle restaurant downstairs, and entered the residential complex.
Luo Qing's voice continued:
"One of us works, and the other runs the shop. One earns the salary, and the other is a backup. It provides both a safety net and unexpected income, like a double insurance. Every day after get off work, we go grocery shopping together, cook at home, go for a walk downstairs, and help neighbors when they need help. It's lively and fun."
"There is no hunger or cold, no disease or disaster. There may be occasional small episodes in life. Just like this, day after day, spend each day seriously."
"Just live a peaceful life like this."
