Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman
Chapter 23 The Phoenix Man Who Swindled Money and Heart 23
September 21th, : p.m.
The homepages of all live streaming websites were hacked, and the carousel on the homepage turned into an animation telling the story of a group of children who had long died.
This animation has no sound, like a black and white silent film, but the content is full of absurd and terrifying metaphors.
The five-minute animated short passed quickly, then the screen went black and six young men and women in black suits appeared.
They all wore number brooches on their chests, dressed exactly like the adults that the children's souls transformed into in the animated shorts.
"Thank you all for coming to watch the live broadcast of Our Hope Orphanage. I am 313." A pale and pretty girl walked forward slowly. Judging from her appearance, she looked as petite and cute as a girl next door.
However, her soft and gentle voice spoke unbelievable words.
"We are responsible for the recent 'Digital' kidnapping case."
"What the hell?! Mingxi?"
In a pet shop, as a young man in an apron shouted, everyone looked towards him.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxi?" The proprietress sat up from the sofa in a daze, and knocked over the two kittens sleeping on her, which immediately started to meow.
“She, she, she, she…” The young man was so shocked that he was incoherent for a moment, “Hey, come and see!”
Finally, he turned off the headphones connected to the tablet and changed the sound to the highest volume.
Mingxi's voice immediately rang in the ears of everyone in the store.
"I am the 313th child drug tester of the Guangming Orphanage. My name is Mingxi now, Ming for tomorrow and Xi for hope."
Her colleagues and her good friend, the boss's wife, immediately gathered around. Seven or eight of them crowded in front of the tablet, watching the quiet and elegant Mingxi in the live broadcast. They felt as if their worldview had been reshaped in an instant.
Mingxi was picked up by the boss's wife.
At that time, she didn't know anything. She worked as a waiter and washed dishes in a store. She was thin and small, and looked malnourished. She sat outside the store in the middle of winter washing dishes with cold water. Her little face was red from the cold, and her hands were wrapped in bandages covered with plastic wrap.
The boss's wife thought that the store was abusing child workers, so she immediately went to talk to the boss out of a sense of justice. However, after the conversation, she found out that Mingxi was doing all the work voluntarily. She was in great need of money, so she was rushing to do all the work.
Mingxi thought he had caused trouble for his boss, so he stood timidly not far away and dared not get close, with his head lowered, like a cat afraid of being abandoned.
The boss's family is not short of money, otherwise they couldn't afford to open such a big cattery. What's more, she really couldn't bear to see such a well-behaved and sensible child suffer, so she picked her up and taught her how to take care of and raise a pet cat.
Fortunately, Mingxi is smart enough and can learn anything she is taught. Moreover, all the cats like her, and the boss's wife is very satisfied with this employee.
After getting along with each other, he gradually became good friends with this girl who was nearly ten years younger than him because of her hard work and spirit of striving for progress.
She watched the timid little girl get into college step by step, and become calm and confident. She was extremely proud of the sense of accomplishment of helping an outstanding person and the happiness of her good friend getting better and better.
However, Mingxi also has a bottom line that even she cannot touch.
That was the bandage wrapped around her hands. The thin bandages tightly wrapped around her palms and backs of her hands all year round and had never been removed in front of others. She also always wore long sleeves and long pants and was unwilling to expose the skin of her limbs even in the hottest weather.
The boss lady and some other curious employees asked about it, and the answer they got was, "It's an old wound. The wound is terrible. I don't want to see it and I don't want you to see it."
Then they made up a series of tragic stories in their minds, which made the people who occasionally heard their imaginations laugh and cry.
However, the truth is even more unacceptable than they imagined.
In human experiments, drugs are tested on children, and in order to obtain more comprehensive data, the subjects are deliberately made weak or sick by various means.
This is simply using children as guinea pigs.
Such facts, combined with the evidence and Mingxi, the living witness, are suffocating.
The boss lady and the employees saw Mingxi's hand for the first time, through the screen.
They had praised Mingxi's beautiful hands more than once, because they could infer that just by looking at her white and slender fingers.
However, when she removed the bandage, the shocking needle holes and scars of various sizes on it made an employee with trypophobia almost scream and squat down with her head in her hands.
However, the show continued. Everyone in this bright orphanage suffered heartbreaking injuries: drug testing, blood drawing, bone marrow drawing, kidney extraction, cornea extraction...
There are also those who forcibly torture people to the point that they suffer from mental illness, and then try to use various means to intervene and treat them.
There were even cases where their hearts were removed and they died on the spot.
When all this cruel evidence was presented to the public, the entire Internet was boiling.
The police immediately began to act. This time they worked extra hard, with everyone having a stern face and walking hurriedly.
They were angry, but for the first time the object of their anger was not the criminals, but the victims at the hands of the criminals.
Who doesn’t have children? Even if they are not their own children, they will have nieces and nephews. The desperate and empty faces of the children make them feel heartbroken and breathless.
So they have to work harder to save these children before they do something irreversible.
They have managed to survive and grow up with great difficulty. They should not be trapped in the past. They deserve a better future.
Moreover, the evidence they present in their hands alone is not enough to convict those people. Those powerful people can easily find loopholes and extricate themselves from it.
So almost everyone thought that Mingxi and the other six were planning to commit lynching and murder.
The barrage was filled with comments, some people were advising them not to be impulsive, some people agreed with them and said those people deserved to die, and some people stood on the moral high ground and accused them of crimes, etc., showing all kinds of life.
"Xiao Xi won't do that." The lady boss clenched her fists, her red eyes full of determination, but her expression was ferocious and terrifying. "When she comes back, I will definitely enroll her in a legal education training, and I will also educate her personally!"
The employees were silent for a moment, and then all agreed.
The young man holding the tablet remained silent.
He has liked Mingxi for a long time, and he knows Mingxi very well. This girl who looks thin, soft and in need of protection has always been incredibly strong.
Moreover, her eyes told him that she had left no way out for herself and had no intention of coming back.
The young man's face was covered with tears without him noticing, and his crying became louder and louder until he was almost hoarse.
When others saw this, they rushed to comfort him, but the young man could not hear them. He just fell into deep regret.
If he could be more frank and brave, could he help her share some of the burden? Would she not do such a thing?
Maybe she will come back for me?
and so…
Why do you hesitate...
Obviously... they like each other.
Didn't the sparkling look she gave me say it all?
