[At the age of three, you grew up healthily, and were able to run and speak skillfully. Your mother would teach you how to write and count in her spare time. You learned very quickly and often received praise and compliments from your mother.]

[At the age of four, you slowly realized that you lived in a hidden huge abandoned pipe, surrounded by various garbage mountains. The people at the bottom of the planet who lived here relied on picking up garbage for a living, and the law of the jungle was fully demonstrated. ]

[Your mother is not very powerful, and is even a little weak. It is difficult for her to survive in this environment, but as a mother, she is strong. She armed herself and fought with those vicious scavengers, competing for food and resources, so that you can grow up happily without worries.]

[At the age of five, the cruel environment made you mature in advance. When your mother was out, you would tidy up the house, mend clothes, and cook for yourself.]

[When you were six years old, you tried to ask your mother to take you out. You didn’t want to stay here and wait for your mother to come back every day. You wanted to use your own strength to help your mother.]

[Mother rejected you. She carefully took out a box filled with rare metals and coins, and told you proudly that in two years, she would be able to save enough money to buy a city resident card. Then you could leave here and live in a bustling metropolis.]

[You asked your mother, "What about you?" Your mother didn't say anything, but just held you in her arms and gently stroked your cheek. You soon felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.]

[At the age of seven, you were full of energy and felt that your home was too small and you felt like you couldn’t breathe. One time, you sneaked out of the house while your mother was out looking for resources. The warm sunshine shone on you, and you looked at the big sun in the sky and couldn’t help but squint your eyes.]

[One day, you discovered that you had a magical ability. You picked up a poster from the garbage dump, and looking at the person printed on it, your body gradually began to heat up.]

[When you come to your senses, you find that your appearance has changed. You have become exactly the same as the person on the poster. The only difference is that because you are too small, you look like a smaller version of the adult on the poster.]

[In the evening, not long after you finished making dinner, your mother came back. She looked very miserable and had some injuries on her body. You immediately took out the medical kit and bandaged her wounds with great concern.]

[Mother stroked your head, her eyes full of tenderness and satisfaction. It seemed that as long as she came back every day and watched you grow up healthy and happy, she would be willing to endure any hardship.]

[After dinner, you showed your mother that magical ability. You closed your eyes and imagined the image on the poster during the day. A warm feeling spread over your body, and then you saw your mother's surprised eyes.]

[Your mother checked you carefully and found that even she, except for the intuition that comes from her blood, could not tell what you really looked like under normal circumstances, no matter what method she used.]

[Her expression gradually became serious, and she told you solemnly that you must not show this ability to outsiders.]

[You nodded, indicating that you understood. Your mother is your only relative. You trust and rely on her unconditionally, and you don’t want to make her angry because of anything.]

[At the age of eight, you began to sneak out of the house frequently to play, and you explored the surrounding environment with curiosity. You found that although this place was desolate and messy, it was very hidden and almost no one would come. You secretly climbed halfway up the garbage mountain several times and looked at the flourishing metropolis in the distance. ]

[You only heard about that place from your mother. People living there don’t have to fight over garbage every day to make a living. They use all kinds of high-tech devices, don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and can even take spaceships to travel to other planets.]

[You don't yearn for that place, you just want to grow up quickly and protect your mother so that she doesn't have to face those brutal scavengers every day.]

【But that day, my mother did not come back. 】

late at night.

Luo Ming curled up in the chair, staring at the closed door, gradually becoming absent-minded.

It was already so late and his mother hadn't come back yet, which made him feel uneasy.

Sudden.

There were some messy footsteps coming from outside.

Luo Ming's face changed slightly. He heard no footsteps of his mother inside, and immediately hid himself vigilantly.

Bang.

The door was violently slammed open.

A ferocious-looking man walked in first. When he saw the appearance of the small home, he sighed and said, "This place is really hidden. If we hadn't followed the traces that woman left, we might never have found this place."

In a narrow underground compartment.

Luo Ming locked himself here. When he heard the man's voice outside, he realized something. His teeth clenched together instantly, his eyes turned red, and he tried hard not to make any sound.

"Stop talking nonsense and search quickly. If that guy really left something behind, she must have hidden it here."

"Okay, that guy is the direct heir of the Crescent Group. If he really left something for this woman, it must be very valuable, hehe."

Then there was a sound of rummaging through boxes.

Luo Ming curled up in the narrow mezzanine, covered his mouth tightly with his hands, letting the tears flow down his cheeks, not allowing himself to make any sound.

"Damn it! The brothers waited for six years and made sure that the guy wouldn't come back before they took action, but they only found a bunch of garbage. That woman was really a slut. She let that guy play with her for nothing and got nothing in return."

A violent voice was heard, followed by a bang. Luo Ming recognized that it was the sound of the only table in the house being broken.

When he was a child, his mother often held him in her arms and leaned over this table to learn to read and do math.

"Don't we have a kinetic mechanical arm? That's a good thing, but it was damaged when we hunted her, so we can only sell it at a discount."

"Okay, let's go back first. It's already dark and the boss is waiting for his report."

"What to do with the woman's body?"

"No need to deal with it. Besides garbage, the most common thing in the garbage mountain is corpses. Let those scavengers collect the bodies for her."

"That woman is actually quite pretty, otherwise she wouldn't have been favored by that guy. It's a pity that she scratched her face herself, otherwise... hehe."

The sound faded away.

Luo Ming wiped the tears from his face, squeezed his small body out of the compartment, and then followed the people to where they left, following silently in the darkness.

The innocence and childishness on his face were completely replaced by cold hatred.

......

Not far from home, Luo Ming saw his mother's body.

She lay stiffly on the ground, her blood having dried up, her hands stretched out towards home, as if she wanted to take one last look at him, her frozen eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Luo Ming held back his tears and continued to follow.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared ahead.

This is a small settlement surrounded by barbed wire. From time to time, there are armed men patrolling, and it looks like it is heavily guarded.

Luo Ming watched those people talk to the guards for a few words, then strode into the settlement.

Blood Wolf Settlement.

Luo Ming once heard from his mother that there were not many people in it, only about thirty or so, but it was quite famous in the entire garbage dump.

Although the scavengers fought each other in a bloody and cruel manner, they at least had some humanity.

The people of the Blood Wolf Settlement can no longer be regarded as human beings. They will try every means to get anything they set their eyes on, even if it means killing people again and again.

Luo Ming curled up in a dark corner, enduring hunger, staring at the dim lights in the settlement, looking for an opportunity for revenge.

He left no one here alive.

Just before the moon rises.

A ball suddenly jumped out from the Blood Wolf settlement.

Then, a boy who looked about the same age as Luo Ming ran out and tried to pick up the ball that had rolled into the darkness.

When the guard at the gate saw this scene, there was no expression on his face and he did not make any move to stop it.

Luo Ming took out the dagger he carried with him and sneaked into the darkness silently.
