Chapter 5

Whether Shen Pengsan is still in this city, Ji Yi has no way of knowing. In short, for several days, people around are in panic, but probably because of Shen Pengsan, a big man who is many dimensions higher than them, there is no turmoil in City 57.

Maybe even a little more peaceful than before, for fear that Shen Pengsan, an invisible and intangible figure, would suddenly appear in front of them.

Even the atmosphere in the school has become weird, the class is sluggish, the recess is as quiet as stagnant water, and even the usual gossip sharing meeting for decompression is spontaneously disbanded.

Ji Yi has a lot to consider here.

The date for Shen Pengsan's arrival in No. 57 city may not be short. After he arrives, the alliance army in the city must listen to him. It is because Shen Pengsan wants to take care of it, so the alliance will intervene in the city's sundries and arrest the liar.

But what is so special about this liar that deserves the attention of a big man like Shen Pengsan?The reason given by Shen Pengsan for entering the city was to hunt down the criminals of the alliance, and then he arrested the criminals because he discovered that the Li family was harboring criminals...

At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but is this matter really worthy of special attention from No. 2 city?

Ji Yi realized that he was careless, he was preconceived, and the stereotype was too serious - he felt that what Ji Yu's father came into contact with could only be low-level scum, and that this liar could only succeed because Ji Yu's father was too stupid.

Being able to be noticed by the alliance army, and the alliance army has also performed abnormal behavior... This liar definitely has a lot of background.

Could it be that Shen Pengsan really came here to arrest this liar?

Ji Yi is a little irritable. He has been dormant for too long in order to survive, and things are finally developing according to his expectations... He can't tolerate any accidents.

After finally waiting for Ji Yu to commit suicide, not long after taking over his body, he stepped into such a vortex... Who would have thought that there would be a liar with a lot of background hidden in No. 57 city, and he happened to run into Shen Pengsan coming to No. 57 city.

But there are gains and losses, since this situation is left by Ji Yu, Ji Yi will deal with it no matter how unhappy he is - he wants to get rid of everything about Ji Yu completely, and then start a new life.

Ji Yi readjusted his mentality, it is not scary to have unexpected troubles, if he let his irritability dominate, it is really over.

After re-examining the current situation, Ji Yi's mood improved a little.

Not too bad either.

Regardless of the liar's background and previous convictions, there is a more important matter in No. 57 city - the head of the Li family was arrested by Shen Pengsan.

No matter how capable Shen Pengsan is, he can't be careless about this matter. If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely be a hidden danger in the future. He should pay more attention to take care of the funeral.

And on the liar's side, Ji Yu was just a victim, and he didn't even have direct contact with the liar. No matter what the alliance's purpose was to pay more attention to Ji Yi, Ji Yi didn't need to mess himself up.

This day's class was very calm, and he restrained his habitual divergent thinking. Since he couldn't figure out the context of all the events, he might as well focus on the present moment.

However, Ji Yi's calmed down mentality didn't last long.

He received a message - Ji Yu's father died.

Ever since Ji Yi took over his body, he hasn't had an actual chance to get in touch with this idle scumbag father. Originally, he had reserved some thoughts to deal with Ji Yu's father, so as to prevent himself from being stained with dirty water and dragged down by him. .

Unexpectedly, before Ji Yi could devote all his energy, he would die by himself.

It was just... so good to die.

It went so smoothly. Ji Yi has little ability now, so he has to take one step at a time and solve the problems left by Ji Yu with a rotten atmosphere one by one.

Ji Yi is just a sub-personality with a weak sense of existence. He has been living cautiously and cautiously since he was conscious. He is naturally unwilling to see the world from Ji Yu's perspective, especially Ji Yu's life is a mess. He is extremely aggrieved. It's a waste of life.

It is so difficult for some people to touch the world with their own hands, while some people are obviously free, but they insist on despising themselves.

Ji Yi had wanted to replace Ji Yu for a long time, but his personality was too fragile to find a chance at all, and he could only hover between consciousness and unconsciousness.

Until Ji Yu was finally done, he took the opportunity to enter, and since then his luck seems to have been going upwards.

He was short of money before, and within a few days, the scammer was caught, and all the money was returned, so Ji Yi didn't have to worry, and could devote more time to his studies.

Not long after that, Ji Yu's father also died.

One by one, except that Shen Pengsan was a little bit confused, it went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

Ji Yi counted all kinds of things after he woke up, without a trace of joy.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so smooth... Either it is to make him suffer even worse in the future, or there is a deeper crisis hidden.

These thoughts crossed over for only a few breaths, Ji Yi did not know how many knots were tied in his heart, but he didn't react immediately on the surface.

People from the league may still be watching him, and Ji Yi's reaction is important.

It is definitely wrong to cry bitterly. Ji Yu's father not only beat and scolded Ji Yu often, but even lost Ji Yu's life-saving money. As long as Ji Yu is not a log, it is impossible for him to have father and son love for such a person Feelings.

According to Ji Yi's thinking, he must be too lazy to take care of it, but the people in the alliance don't know how to write him down, so Ji Yi had to be led by the head teacher to collect the body.

The chores in the city are handled by the two major families. Now that the Li family can't protect themselves, they can't take care of these trivial matters. Only the Lu family is responsible for receiving them.

The one who handed over was a mustache, who had seen too much life and death, and was hard to be moved. He explained in a businesslike manner: "Your father died abnormally. The medical examination report at the beginning of the year showed that he could live for at least three years in his current state, but when he died Afterwards, the degree of depletion of the internal organs was much higher than expected, and this abnormality complied with the regulations of Article 57 of City 10's 'Resident Body Management', so we conducted an autopsy on him."

Ji Yi didn't know what was going on in his heart.

When he heard the news of the death, it's not that he didn't guess the cause of death. At the most, he thought that he got into some trouble and was beaten to death... But these few words have obviously ruled out this possibility.

City 57 enjoys a high degree of control over the residents' bodies. Every resident with an ID card must undergo regular medical examinations—the physical examinations are free, but the purpose of doing so is not to promote the healthy development of residents, they are just to Collect residents' physical information.

The population of 2157 has become a serious problem, and every city tries its best to control the death rate of its residents.

In City 57, if the person dies before the expected time of the machine, the person will even be punished, even if he is already dead.

Although they themselves died, most of them still had a few family members, and the family members had to pay the price for their "unauthorized death".

Especially suicide is a felony.

Like Ru Jiyu... If there is no Ji Yi, his parents will be punished very cruelly, Ji Yu's father will be fine, anyway, this person lives in the mud every day, punishment does not have much deterrent effect on him, but Ji Yu Yu Na's mother, who has finally found a new life, can only stop at a place that is one step away from happiness.

Ji Yi is sure that if Ji Yu's mother learns of Ji Yu's death, she will be more angry than regretful.

...Ji Yi suddenly had an idea, Ji Yu didn't choose to commit suicide in order to avenge his parents for neglecting him... After all, when Ji Yu was in the most difficult time, one of the two parents would kill Ji Yu Kicked into a deep pit, one refused to pull up.

This answer has nothing to do with it, Ji Yi only has Ji Yu's memory, and cannot spy on his inner world.

Ji Yi listened indifferently to the other party counting Ji Yu's father's autopsy report. This long series of words finally pointed to a result - Ji Yu's father was poisoned to death.

Fortunately, the poisoned death does not require the responsibility of the relatives, after all, it is not within the control of the person.

But the problem is, Ji Yu's father is a scumbag with no money and no background, who needs to poison him?

Glancing at Ji Yi's expression, Mustache continued, "The toxin found on your father's body comes from a hallucinogen, which is a new product that has been widely circulated on the underground black market this year. This hallucinogen is very expensive."

Mustache didn't say the whole thing, but this time Ji Yi understood his meaning very clearly - this kind of expensive hallucinogen should not appear in a fringe city like City 57, especially in Jiyu inside the father.

With ups and downs, Ji Yi felt a soft sound in his heart, unexpectedly feeling a little more realistic——Trouble really came.

Now it's not only the liar, but also this cheap father. These people have been involved in trouble one by one, and the thin lines quietly began to tighten, and they were strangled on Ji Yi's body.

Judging by Mustache's attitude, this hallucinogen is not an abnormal point that can be easily taken away. If they plan to thoroughly investigate the source of the hallucinogen, Ji Yi, as a close relative of the person involved, will inevitably be subject to a deeper level of surveillance in the next few days .

It's not because there is anything suspicious about Ji Yi, it's just that the matter is so important that they cast a net everywhere to check.

Being trapped under the protective cover is boring enough, Ji Yi doesn't want to live under surveillance 24 hours a day.

Ji Yi had a faint headache, but this time he didn't feel the irritability he felt a few days ago, instead he unexpectedly felt some indescribable excitement.

Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, and use Ji Yu's persona to spend this year safely... Since the sky did not fulfill his wishes, he would not retreat again and again like Ji Yu, forcing himself into a corner.

"We have also found out the source of the hallucinogen..."

Ji Yi was taken aback.

If it wasn't for tracing the source of hallucinogens, why would these affairs officers care about the life and death of a garbage citizen in City 57.

Mustache continued to talk on his own, the source of the hallucinogen was a habitual criminal, and he had something to do with Ji Yi - this person was the one who cheated Ji Yu of compensation.Now the liar has been arrested and brought to justice by the alliance. As long as he is doing his job, he can handle it. He really didn't last long in front of the alliance's means. He has already explained what should be explained and what can be explained. The flow direction has also been checked clearly.

Ji Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Mustache, "This is not something that a student like me can know, you tell me that you won't violate the regulations?"

Mustache was a little surprised that Ji Yi would ask such a question, and subconsciously frowned, "You are a family member and have the right to know."

Ji Yi let out a leisurely breath, and smiled coldly.

It is true that the family members have the right to know, but the scope of what they can know is limited. What Ji Yi heard today... seems to be a bit out of bounds, and there are more content than the death notice.

Although it was the news of the Lu family affairs officer, but now that there is a big Buddha like Shen Pengsan in the city, and the Li family has collapsed again, the Lu family must act according to the eyes of the alliance.

Since there is no problem with the source and whereabouts of the hallucinogens, the intention of the alliance to "inform" Ji Yi of these inside information... can only be aimed at Ji Yi himself.

Those vague suspicions before came to fruition, and Ji Yi's intuition was not wrong.

The league has its eyes on him.

It's just that it's hard for him to say now, what makes the league interested in him.

·

Even if Ji Yi is not willing, he has been forced to stand on the stage now, and if he continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he may be able to report his safety for a while, but following the crowd is not what he wants.

Ji Yi must control the development of the matter in his own hands. Even if everything in City 57 is still foggy to him, he can't be afraid to move forward.

Ji Yu has the right to apply to view the medical examination report of his direct blood relatives, especially now that the person is dead, and it is only natural to disclose it to relatives-the privacy of individuals in City 57 is very limited.

Ji Yu's father's medical examination reports were numerous and detailed, and the series of electronic data covered his whole life.

Ji Yi went through all the data, and there was really nothing weird about it, it was just a person living numbly at the bottom.

The purpose of the liar giving him hallucinogens can be interpreted as defrauding money, and he does have money worthy of the liar's use of hallucinogens... But Ji Yi always felt that something was wrong.

Ji Yi turned off the data, grabbed his coat and went out.

Ji Yu's father is an idle scum, and he basically hangs out in the outer ring on weekdays - the environment in the outer ring is the worst, and it is the place where the protective shield is the thinnest in the whole city. Most people are not willing to go here. The slums of City 57.

Ji Yu's father died here, without any warning, he suddenly fell down while walking on the road, and never got up again.

Ji Yi hasn't sorted out all his thoughts yet, but there should be nothing wrong with starting from the death of Ji Yu's father... Ji Yi has no feelings for this "father" at all, nor does he hold any hatred for him like Ji Yu , so he didn't care, it was only when something happened that he remembered this person, and then searched in his mind and found... Even Ji Yu himself knew very little about his father.

In the memory left by Ji Yu, this father was a rough and authoritarian parent. Not only did he not fulfill his obligations to the family, he also beat and scolded the young Ji Yu. Will take into account how their words and deeds will affect the season fish.

Ji Yu, who grew up in such an environment, naturally didn't dare to ask about his father's affairs, and usually avoided it as much as he could, staying in his room and not going out, locking himself up.

So all Ji Yu knew was that his father had been living in the slums all year round.

As for what people do in the slums, Ji Yu has no idea.

It didn't take long for Ji Yi to come to the slums.

The buildings in the slums are dark—it's not the paint color of the buildings themselves, these are actually the product of pollutant particles clinging to the walls, which seep in through the shields.

No one cares, they stick together layer by layer, and I don't know how long it took to become what they are now.

Not only the appearance, Ji Yi could smell a pungent smell even if he got a little closer.

City 57 is very strict about garbage disposal. They will not do such stupid things as throwing the garbage in the center of the city to the outskirts of the city. Even if there is no accumulation of garbage, there is still such a big stench in the slums...

One can imagine how bad the environment outside is.

It's no wonder that humans cannot survive without the protective cover.

Ji Yi stopped on the outskirts of the slums, and he looked towards the sky.The protective cover is colorless and transparent, and the difference in the thickness of the protective cover cannot be seen with the naked eye, but the gap does exist. The outer protective cover is thin, and the frequency of leakage is much higher than that in the city.

The protective cover has been leaking for many years. Although the deterioration is not obvious yet, relying on the self-healing system of the protective cover can barely maintain it, but no one can guarantee that it will not suddenly and completely rupture one day...

Once the protective cover fails, the people in City 57 will only have a dead end.

Of course, Lu Beiyu's family may still have a way out, but with Ji Yi's current status as a commoner, he really cannot survive this irreversible disaster.

His time is really running out, everything around him is at stake, and he must jump out of this abyss as soon as possible.

·

Approaching the slum area, there is no noise as imagined inside, and no improper transactions can be seen. It is still silent here, which fits the temperament of City 57 very much, like a dead city.

Ji Yi found the place where Ji Yu's father died based on the audio-visual records.

There are also a few dilapidated chairs nearby, they don't look like trash, and there are traces of recent use, probably someone will come here to sit here occasionally, Ji Yi was just guessing, and the two walked over tremblingly.

It's two old people.

Although they are said to be old people, their actual age is probably under 50 years old.

Ji Yi doesn't know the outside situation, but at least in City 57, the polarization of life expectancy is very serious. Big families like the Lu family can enjoy the best medical facilities, eat clean and non-toxic food, and live in the city. Most importantly, their life expectancy will be more than a hundred years old, and even if they enter old age, their spirits will not be too sluggish.

On the contrary, the life span of ordinary people and the poor is getting shorter and shorter.

Although the medical technology is very advanced, death has sneaked into every moment of their daily life. They eat poisonous and harmful food, the standard drops again and again, and they are also affected by external pollution from time to time. No matter how superior the equipment is, it will not help.

The two old men glanced at Ji Yi. There was no surprise on their faces when they found a stranger.

Just as Ji Yi was about to speak, an old man spoke first, his voice was hoarse and very unpleasant: "Come to collect your father's body? It's late, his body was taken away."

Ji Yi was taken aback, the old man actually recognized him, but he didn't have this person in his memory.

Ji Yi remained calm, and fortunately Ji Yu had a dull temperament, so it wouldn't look strange if he didn't speak at any time.

The old man didn't expect Ji Yi to say anything, so he ignored Ji Yi after throwing this sentence down, took out a chess set and started playing.

The chess pieces are made of plastic, and the workmanship is also very rough. It seems that they have been used for a long time, and the characters on them are almost worn away. The two old men played happily.

Ji Yi would find it boring after seeing it. This slum area is far more depressing than the city, and there is a smell of corruption everywhere, which makes Ji Yi very unhappy. He hates everything related to death.

Just about to leave, the old man who spoke before raised his eyelids in the direction of Ji Yi, and sighed faintly: "Your father is not a thing, you never said no to him when he was alive, but now he is dead It's a pity that you can still take a look at him, you are a good-natured person, it's a pity that you have such a father."

Ji Yi's mind went numb, and he realized a very bad problem - the old man who spoke was very familiar in his tone, and his attitude towards him was a bit conniving towards the younger generation, and he didn't care about his fault of being rude and not saying a word.

This old man has a good relationship with Ji Yu... At least this old man has a good impression of Ji Yu, and they should have met quite a few times.

But Ji Yi couldn't find any information in his mind at all.

The memory he received from Ji Yu is incomplete. He has known this for a long time, but he doesn't think it is a big problem. As long as the life context presented by the memory is complete and there are no major gaps, it is fine. It is possible to record all the events of one's life.

So Ji Yi didn't delve into it, but why doesn't such an "acquaintance" like the old man have the slightest memory? !

A chill crept into Ji Yi's heart. Ji Yi was suspicious and cautious, but he was also conceited, especially after Ji Yu committed suicide.

... He should have thought of it a long time ago. Everything that goes well is worthy of doubt. His stereotype of Ji Yu is too deep. He has watched Ji Yu for too many years, thinking that he has a thorough understanding of his other self... ...But what if everything is not in line with my impression.

Ji Yi turned around stiffly and left without saying hello to the old man. The other party seemed to be used to it and didn't care, and continued to focus on his chessboard.

Ji Yi walked a few steps, found a hidden corner and killed him back. After waiting for a while, he heard the two old men talking about him.

They didn't notice that Ji Yi turned around and chatted casually while playing chess. The topics were all about Ji Yu's miserable life and all the absurdities of his father.

The slum area is such a big piece of land, there is no secret, not to mention that Ji Yu's father is a frequent visitor here every day, and the old men have heard a few ears about Ji Yu's life-saving money being cheated.

One said: "Although Jiyu suffered a little before, it is a relief to endure it now. After graduating next year and finding a job, he can live a good life. Unlike us, we can only rot here in this life."

The other laughed, as if he didn't agree very much, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "That's not necessarily true, what kind of fame can Ji Yu live with his dead appearance? He has seen his father get mixed up with a liar before, isn't it a fart? He dare not let one go, he trembles if he asks more, let his father run away as soon as he yells, and he will go to hell if he can be successful."

"Oh, that's true."

Ji Yi could hear every word clearly.

Ji Yu should know better than anyone that his father is unreliable, and knew that his father might be cheated, but he still didn't dare to resist, just waiting for everything to happen?

In the past, when thinking of Ji Yu, Ji Yi subconsciously would have some disdain, thinking that he was cowardly and useless, and that he would be better off dead than alive to make room for himself.

But is there really someone who can endure all this, knowing that the road ahead is a dead end, but still dare not struggle?

Ji Yi kept looking at Ji Yu, knowing how ordinary and boring he was every day, and how he endured it, so he never doubted Ji Yu's everything.

However, seeing is not necessarily true.
