black eden

There is no darker city than Mansandi.

In terms of black alone, it is not as good as West Germany, the capital of this small East Asian country, but Mansandi has an unparalleled white illusion. Yes, its black coexists with white, and it can only be displayed against the white backdrop. It transcends all metropolitan darkness.

For example, Theon Alberta.

During the day, he is a gentle and friendly flower shop owner, and at night, he is the Baron Alberta who is in charge of all entertainment venues in Mansandy.Drug deals, arms smuggling, mafia gathering places, dirty rats everywhere rushing to Theon's nightclub, so you can see tutors who talk elegantly during the day, pastry chefs with warm smiles, and humble people. taxi driver……

Oh, it's just that you have to keep your eyes open and look again, it's an arms dealer with sharp words, a drug dispenser with a cold smile, and a full-time intermediary in the sex trade.

Theon didn't care about any strange things mixed into his store. The only thing worth noting to him was the newly arrived black-haired boy in Cooper's hands. He brought five or six of them every day, and asked him to take a look at the clothes one by one. Yes, send them all back.

So far, no one has been favored by Theon, and Cooper still persists in collecting black-haired boys for him. Although it is a bit troublesome to stun them first and then carry them back and forth without anyone noticing, as long as they can please Theon - the most powerful man in Mansandi, Cooper is willing to wear out the fat that has been hoarded carefully for 30 years.

"...Is it still not there today?"

The chunky, middle-aged man stood by the gold-plated coffee table, watched Theon pick up a row of teenagers' clothes on the carpet with his scepter, and then sat back on the sofa with downcast eyes, knowing that today's prey was not qualified.

"Why don't you tell me... For example, what are you looking for? Birthmark? Or the shape of the belly button? Let me figure it out before I start, so maybe the success rate is higher?"

As soon as the words fell, the man was shivered by Theon's cold gaze, so he had no choice but to pack the prey wisely and prepare to return the original.

"Cooper, I'm going to double tomorrow."

Before leaving, the man heard a lazy voice from the sofa, lazy but with undoubted coercive force, "If you find three or four to send me away like today, stop coveting the supply factories in the suburbs, I will Someone can replace you, understand?"

Cooper turned back full of bitterness: "I understand, don't worry."

It is still the black city of Mansandi.

Black, like the poison of obsession, spread wantonly in Mansandi at night.

There is a clear distinction between black and white here. If you are an ordinary citizen, Mansandi is a paradise for living and working in peace and contentment. Once you get involved in the black chains hidden under the illusion, you will never want to escape from the darkness.

This is a kind of tacit understanding, or self-consciousness. People here are good at disguising, and they are used to communication in moderation. They will never involve a good person in their forbidden area. Once they are involved, they will completely destroy him without mercy.

That's how Du Yu's father died.

Since then, Du Yu's mother has become abnormal. At first, it was just cloudy and suspicious, and when Du Yu realized something was wrong, her condition had developed to a very serious level. She often reacted violently to small movements around her, or Bewitched by hallucinations, do terrible things.

Du Yu never told anyone that his mother would suddenly whip him with a spoon while cooking, or hit him on the head with a glass while drinking water. He never dodged, he hurt, but he didn't cry No, he knew that only when he was firmly pressed against his body could his mother calm down and rush over to hug him and apologize desperately.

This abuse and pampering continued until the summer of two years ago.

The moment Du Yu opened the door of the house, he was knocked down by a scythe used for mowing grass. The neighbors screamed and called the police. As a result, Du Yu lost his mother.

That year Du Yu was 15 years old, and people around him thought he was a fate, and he came back from the gate of hell, but in fact, the real Du Yu never woke up again.

This point is probably only known to Ivan Sterling who occupies the body of Du Yu, an Asian boy.

Ivan still remembers the scene when he woke up. The two nurses stared at him in surprise, as if seeing a corpse crawling out of a coffin.Because just a second ago, Du Yu, who had stopped breathing on his own, was diagnosed as brain-dead by the doctor. According to the hospital's handling of brain-dead orphans, the nurses were about to remove his oxygen tube.

Du Yu's name was clearly printed on the hanging board at the head of the bed, and Ivan felt a splitting headache.

That's right, eight stitches were stitched from the forehead to the top of the head, and it would hurt anyone's head, but it shouldn't be such a long scar that caused Ivan's pain, but a bullet that rushed into his head.

He looked up at the electronic watch on the wall, the time was still the time when he lived or died, turned his head to look out the window, and the brightly lit city was still the Mansandi he was all too familiar with.

Ivan has all the memories of the owner of the body, but he doesn't know where the real soul of the body is. This makes him have an illusion, as if his whole life was a dream, and now is the reality after waking up from the dream.

It's better to be cut with a scythe than to be headshot by a bullet.

Although his head was shaved during the operation, Ivan didn't pay much attention to his bald head when he saw himself in the mirror. His eyes were full of an Asian teenager with yellow skin and black eyes. When he smiled, he would show two small canine teeth.

The extremely ordinary appearance gave him a strong visual impact.

He didn't know what happened and why it became like this. The only thing that was certain was that he was no longer Ivan Sterling, the mafia boss who had been brilliant for half a life and was finally betrayed by his subordinates; Intrigues and bloody life.

From the time he took control of this body, he was just Du Yu, an Asian boy without his parents.

>>>

After spending two years in the orphanage, Ivan has adapted to his body and gradually forgot the scene of his death, but he has kept the page of the newspaper that printed the news of his death—the death of Ivan Sterling , admonishing him to stay away from Mansandi's black.

He still has the opportunity to correct his life.

This year, Du Yu is 17 years old.

It has been two years since the bank auctioned off his long-lost home and the government sent him to the Mansandi Children's Welfare Centre.

He relied on state subsidies to finish high school and was admitted to the law school of Mansandi University. This incident caused a sensation in the entire orphanage.Because Du Yu was the first Asian child admitted to university in the school, and the only underage student who was admitted to the most difficult major of Mansandi University with full marks.

According to regulations, after entering university, the orphanage will continue to subsidize Du Yu's living expenses, but in contrast, he will receive a short-term job assigned by the orphanage.

This regulation can not only exercise students' social ability, but also effectively balance social human resources.

So, the day after Du Yu's 17th birthday, the orphanage gave him a job as an apprentice pastry chef.

The cake shop was located near the bus station in the city center, and the owner urgently needed a handy helper, and Asians were recognized by Mansandi as a clever and clever race, although this kind of cleverness was usually interpreted as cunning and opportunistic.

Du Yu didn't feel anything until he learned the name of the cake shop——

"Barbie," repeated the female teacher with black-rimmed glasses, "the cake shop you are going to is called Barbie."

"Can I apply for a replacement?" Du Yu lowered his head and frowned slightly.

"No, this is a rare opportunity for you. You must know that most of the assigned children are coolies." The female teacher adjusted her glasses, "What's more, it's close to the university, and the apartment has already been settled. "

Du Yu stood silently for a while, and finally said: "Okay, thank you." Then he closed the door and left the office.

"Barbie" is a cake shop under Isaac, a drug dispatcher. As a former mafia boss who once controlled the entire Mansandi order, Ivan hates Isaac very much.

This kind of disgust ranges from his appearance to his personality, from his behavior to his voice. Seeing him is like seeing a stone in a latrine. When he is cruel, he would like to shoot him.

But the former Ivan didn't get rid of this thorn in his side, just because of Kroll.

Kroll said "he is still useful", and Isaac survived.At that time, Ivan began to notice that he was already extremely tired of the black life, and was slowly transferring to Kroll's seat.

So just when he wanted to hand over the full power to Kroll and retire himself, Cheng Yaojin came out on the way. This sentence was learned by Ivan from Du Yu, and he thought it was appropriate to use it here, because he would die I don't know who that Cheng Yaojin is.

However, he didn't want to know anymore.

No matter who became the master of this city, it has nothing to do with him now.

Du Yu walked quietly along the corridor of the orphanage building, like a ray of lifeless air.

The status of the yellow race in Mansandi is not high.This small East Asian country was once a colony of white people. For a long time, the aborigines who did not migrate were used as slaves.

But he has no right to complain about his current situation and status. It is good to be alive, so even if he is in Isaac's territory, as long as he consciously guards against those dirty blacks, he will never be polluted.

I walked back to the dormitory, packed my luggage, and waited for the lunch break to go to the dean to get a recommendation form.

Du Yu didn't have a lot of luggage, half of the black diagonal luggage bag was empty, with only a few clothes and some toiletries in it, and a faded pocket watch in the side pocket, which contained photos of the original owner's parents , although Du Yu has no feelings for them now, at least he has the memory of the past.

There are a lot of happy memories hidden in the head of this yellow child, which makes him feel that it is very happy to have something to put his thoughts on, even if it is just a false shell for him.

Du Yu fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.

He was the only one left in a room that originally occupied four people, and the older troublesome children were scared away in the first week of his occupancy.

Du Yu didn't mean to do that.At that time, he really didn't know how to deal with a 15-year-old child when he was in trouble, so he followed the 45-year-old method. Unexpectedly, it was so powerful. Not only did he not make friends in the past two years, but he became a person who is popular with everyone. Flash Voldemort.

Maybe it will be fine after entering university, Du Yu thought.

When he walked out of the gate of the orphanage, he looked at the recommendation form in his hand again. The handwriting was scribbled but the rhetoric was safe, as if produced by batch formatting.He folded the paper and put it in the luggage bag, pulled the hat on his head, turned and walked towards the station.

Usually, there are not many opportunities to get out of the gate of the orphanage. Sometimes it is just to run errands for the director or the teacher, but whenever he goes out, Du Yu will definitely put on his hat.

At first, it was because of a scary scar on the top of the head. Later, the hair grew out, but the scar was still bald. Although it was just a long and thin gap, it still felt weird when looking in the mirror. When the hair grows a little longer, it runs along the head The hair twist on his face covered the scar, and Du Yu had already developed the habit of wearing a hat. Somehow, this gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

After getting on the direct bus to the city center, Du Yu chose a window seat in the back row and sat down, opened the window, and leaned on the back of the chair easily.

Few people got on the bus from the suburban orphanage, and the seat number on the ticket was just a decoration.

Du Yu doesn't get motion sickness, but he always opens the windows when he gets in the car. This is his habit for many years, no matter how cold the weather is, he will always open the windows.He doesn't like confined spaces, which is somewhat contradictory to his character who expects a sense of security, but it is not contradictory to Du Yu himself.

To him, confined spaces are hell.

The sunshine in early spring was very bright, and it was warm on the body. There were a few people sitting sporadically in the front row, and they didn't care about the cool air coming from the back of the carriage.

After the bus entered the expressway around the city, the road was very smooth. Du Yu tilted his head and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, turned up his collar, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Living alone sometimes feels very lonely, but it caters to Du Yu's habits to a certain extent.

Being alone, with no relatives or friends, this is a way of life he is very familiar with, and it is also his only regret after rebirth - not being able to experience family affection.
