Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

dong dong dong-

The sound of the back of the hand knocking on the door was crisp.

The edges of the door cracks gradually showed signs of being wet, and these signs tended to spread gradually.

Qu Shenyi grabbed a ball of paper and threw it over. When the paper ball touched the water marks, the water marks seemed to come alive and wrapped the paper ball tightly, and were corroded away with a sizzling sound.

One can imagine what would happen if these water marks touched the skin.

The shabby door was already covered with these corrosive water stains. If you touch it rashly, you will end up like this ball of paper.

Qu Shenyi, who was standing in a safe position, leaned against the wall and said, "Who is it? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"

"Hello, I lost my things, can you help me find them?"

There was a woman's voice outside the door, and she sounded like she was in her forties.

Qu Shenyi: "No."

"My eyesight is not good. I can't see in the middle of the night. That thing is very important to me. Can you help me find it?"

The voice still persisted.

Qu Shenyi smiled and said, "Oh, no."

"..."

001 Eat melon seeds [You are about to piss off the guy outside the door.]

thump—

There was another knock on the door, and the loud sound showed that the person was on the verge of getting angry.

"Open the door... Open the door and help me..."

There was still no response from the door, and the woman's eyes staring at the door became increasingly fierce.

She squeezed out a few words from her throat: "Sure enough, he is... a cold-hearted person!"

Qu Shenyi opened the door with a creak, and the woman's movements paused instantly.

Qu Shenyi was very polite: "What are you looking for?"

woman:"?"

The woman's eyes moved slowly and saw the hair dryer in Qu Shenyi's hand.

Wherever the hot air from the hair dryer reaches, the water begins to evaporate.

And behind Qu Shenyi there was a huge heater. The orange-red light was like a blazing fire, and any water marks covered by the light were burned clean.

Qu Shenyi was standing in the safe area defined by the heater.

The woman in front of Qu Shenyi looked like she had just been fished out of the water. Her clothes were extremely tattered and covered with mud and dead leaves.

Murderous intent quickly appeared in the woman's eyes, but she didn't dare to go any further.

After a while, the woman was so burned by the heater that she had to leave angrily.

Qu Shenyi closed the door, and the heater that was whirring suddenly went out. 001 turned into a shadowy little boy, who stepped out with trembling steps.

001 sat on the ground, too tired to move.

Qu Shenyi thought for a moment and said, "Do you think the clothes that woman is wearing look familiar?"

[I was acting as a generator for you just now, and I could barely even see the whole thing, let alone see the clothes she was wearing.]

001 recalled carefully [Although the clothes she wore were torn, they were still work clothes.]

The fact that he is still wearing work clothes at this stage shows that his family conditions are average.

"It's the environmentally friendly clothing for sanitation workers." Qu Shenyi said.

001[Go check on the sanitation workers in this community?]

Qu Shenyi shook his head: "Become a sanitation worker."

001[……]

Seven days is too short. Instead of taking roundabout ways, it is better to take a shortcut.

Qu Shenyi worked with the kind sanitation ladies for half a day and sat under the shade of a tree during the lunch break.

A group of middle-aged women started talking at once, and finally expressed their feelings about Qu Shenyi's miserable life, as he had to work to support himself at such a young age.

Qu Shenyi felt that this was related to the setting of this world's copy. Otherwise, he looked like he was in his twenties, and the NPCs in these copies would never think of him as a child.

"Xiao Qu, you don't look well. Have you been studying hard again?" asked the aunt sitting next to Qu Shenyi.

Qu Shenyi looked hesitant, and it took him a while to tell what he had experienced.

After he said these words, as expected, the faces of these aunts all looked unhappy.

"Xiao Qu, you've encountered something dirty!"

"From what I can see, this dirty thing is Zhao Haiqin. Didn't she fall into the water and drown?"

"What? Don't scare me. I just called her stupid before. Don't come to me again..."

"Don't tell me, it's possible that I might find you."

"Why would she come to us? Her funeral expenses were all paid for by us, her neighbors."

Qu Shenyi heard the name Zhao Haiqin and said, "Is it the room with cement-sealed door on the second floor of that building where I live?"

"You know what? That's right, everyone is disgusted by this."

Zhao Haiqin's husband died a long time ago. She used to be a sanitation worker like them, but she was a little different from the others. Perhaps because she had a slight intellectual disability, she always called other people's children her daughter. Over time, she was often complained about.

"She calls other people's children her daughter, probably because her own daughter disappeared while playing in the corridor when she was seven or eight years old. She seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and could not be found no matter how hard we tried."

Not long after that, her husband also died of illness. She was left without her daughter and husband, and became crazy, working as a sanitation worker to earn some money.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened so suddenly. Zhao Haiqin fell into the artificial lake in the community while sweeping fallen leaves and drowned.

She had no relatives or family members and no savings, so they had to pay for her funeral.

The place where she originally lived was also sealed.

"I think this is really unlucky. The artificial lake in the community is only up to the waist. If she wasn't a fool, she probably wouldn't have drowned."

"Yeah, I'm too stupid to tell the difference."

A lost daughter, a husband who died young, a foolish woman.

Would a fool drown in an artificial lake that was waist-deep?

Qu Shenyi stood in front of the artificial lake in the community, staring at the rippling lake surface caused by the wind, and fell silent.

He squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, watching the changes in the water.

"There's a problem at the bottom of the lake."
