Chapter 2

Yi Tian stayed by the bedside, looking at Bai Lian, who was still sleeping, and his face was full of worry. Since Bailian fainted in that strange condition during the day, Bailian has been in a coma. Yi Tian took Bailian to a nearby small hospital for examination, but found no abnormality, except that the fluctuation of brain waves was a little abnormal at the beginning. Yi Tian held Bai Lian's hand tightly and looked at the sleeping Bai Lian. For the first time, he was a little annoyed by his impulse. If he could put up with some white lotus, he would not have the current situation.

But those people actually called themselves the sons of murderers and madmen. Those people are really abominable. Although what they said is true. Yi Tian secretly felt fierce in his heart. If he pushes himself into a hurry, he will break the net with them. Anyway, there is no hope to get out in the current society with his own background.

In 2186, human civilization was highly developed, and a world alliance was formed between countries to expand towards extraterrestrials and establish alien colonies. However, with the development of civilization, the discrimination between people has become more and more intense, and the original racial discrimination has been gradually replaced by genetic discrimination. The so-called genetic discrimination was originally caused by individual genetic defects, but was gradually extended by people. As long as a person has done something, his descendants will inherit a genetic tendency to do such things. And this is the reason why Yi Tian was discriminated against.

Yi Tian's father was originally a veteran. He accidentally killed a man when he went out and was sentenced to death, so he was also named a murderer. Yi Tian's mother couldn't stand this fact and went crazy soon after Yi Tian's father's death. Yi Tian was sent to an orphanage, so he was also recognized as a person with a tendency to kill and go crazy, and was not accepted everywhere. Although the World League has issued a decree prohibiting genetic discrimination, it still cannot change people's perceptions, and even some government agencies discriminate against these people.

At the thought of his life, Yi Tian couldn't help but feel a little sad. Even if he has ambitions, he can't get ahead in the current society. His eyes fell on Bailian's face. Bailian was not like Yi Tian. She was an innocent person, and it was only because her relatives could not support her that she was sent to the orphanage.

From the first day Bailian entered the orphanage, Yi Tian was attracted by this white little girl, but at that time, Yi Tian already knew that with his past, he could not live a normal life like ordinary people at all. The only possibility was to find a secluded and lonely life. But where on earth can there be a place for him to change his body in a big world? Yi Tian didn't know that he had just stepped out of the door of the orphanage, and he didn't even know where he should go next.

Just as Yi Tian was thinking, the sleeping white lotus frowned gently and slowly opened her eyes. At the moment she opened her eyes, a blue light flashed in her black eyes. Bai Lian felt that her whole body was weak, but her spirit was very good, and she did not feel tired after falling asleep at all. She looked at Yi Tian sitting by the bed. At this time, Yi Tian was in a daze, his eyes seemed a little dull, and even the expression on his face was also a little dull. Bai Lian smiled softly. She had never seen Yi Tian like this before.

Bai Lian smiled, and Yi Tian was awakened. As soon as he saw Bai Lian wake up, he smiled happily. He clenched Bailian's hand and said happily, "Xiaolian, you finally woke up." Yi Tian didn't know what to say at all, but it was really useless to say anything at this time.

"What happened?" Bai Lian looked at where she was and asked inidly, "Where is this place?"

"This is the hospital. Don't you remember what happened that day? Yi Tian began to pour a glass of water for Bailian. The expression on her face was a little strange, but looking at the expression on her white face, she seemed to have really forgotten what happened that day.

"What happened that day? What's the matter?" Bai Lian's face was full of confusion, and she looked completely ignorant.

"It's Jesse's business." Yi Tian did not explain the situation that day in detail, but simply said such a sentence. If Bailian still remembers it, she will definitely remember it.

"Do you mean what Jesse provoked you that night? Haven't I reported it to the dean? Why did he come to you again? Bai Lian was furious when she heard Jesse's name, but what she said was earlier, and it was not the day of the bar mitzvah at all. It seems that she really forgot about the day of the bar mitzva.

"No." Yi Tian originally wanted to tell Bailian the truth, but when he thought about it, he swallowed the words he wanted to say back and then said, "You accidentally fell down after coming back from the dean, and then fainted, so I sent you here." Yi Tian casually panicked. If Bailian really forgets what happened that day, it is not bad. If it really reminds her, with Bai Lian's character, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

"Oh." Bai Lian didn't ask much, but sat up and drank all the water handed over by Yi Tian in one breath, and then her stomach sounded on time.

"Are you hungry? Then I'll go out and buy you something to eat. What do you want to eat?" With that, Yi Tian took a washed fruit from the fruit basket and handed it to Bailian, and then stood up and walked out.

Along the way, Yi Tian recalled the mutiny of Bailian that day. Although he only saw a few minutes, he clearly saw a cyan airflow around Bailian's body, and her eyes also turned blue, as if she had changed into a different person and seemed to have a strong power. But Yi Tian has never heard of Bailian's situation. Although he had read some martial arts or mythological novels in the orphanage before, he knew very well that Bai Lian did not know any martial arts at all, and her performance that day was not like martial arts. Yi Tian can't say what Bailian shows.

After buying food, Bai Lian was standing at the window looking out, with a very light smile on her face, as if she saw something interesting. Yi Tian deliberately knocked on the door, then put the food on the table, and said with a smile on his face, "What are you looking at? Smiling so happily."

"Nothing. God, where are we going later? Bai Lian sat by the bed and stared at Yi Tian with a pair of big eyes.

"Let's go to my house first, and I don't know if the place is still there." Yi Tian looked at the clear sky outside the window and then handed the food to Bai Lian. Home is a distant word for Yi Tian now. His home had completely collapsed as early as the sudden change, and now some are just empty rooms.

"Oh. That's good." Bai Lian took what Yi Tian handed over with a smile and stuffed it into her mouth without looking at it.

Yi Tian just took time to check where his house is located and found that it was not far from here, so he made such a decision. It's just that he is still a little worried. In the past ten years, he doesn't know if the place is still there. Although the world is still peaceful now, no matter how peaceful the place is, Xiaoliu still exists, not to mention that Yi Tian's house has been empty for ten years.

The two of them ate and simply packed up and left the hospital. Neither of them spoke along the way. Bai Lian looked around curiously, while Yi Tian kept bowing his head. The closer to home, the more worried Yi Tian is.

"God, is your home near here?" Bai Lian looked at the slightly dilapidated buildings around her. Although the North District of Xincheng has always been a slum, those buildings are not so dilapidated. Those buildings that can be seen everywhere either lack glass windows or doors without doors, and some buildings even have only three-quarters of the walls.

Hearing Bai Lian's question, Yi Tian looked up at the situation around him and was immediately dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the beautiful place would become so dilapidated. He swallowed the waterway with difficulty: "Here it is." After saying that, he naturally looked in the direction of his home. The house in memory was still there, but I saw a big hole in the wall from afar, and the door and window were gone. Seeing this, Yi Tian's heart skipped a beat, but then he felt that it was a good thing, at least the house was still here.

"Let's go. My house has arrived." With that, Yi Tian took Bai Lian's hand and walked to his house. The house has no door, so the keys in Yi Tian's backpack are useless.

As soon as he entered the door, Yi Tian found that everything inside had been emptied. I guess it was stolen. However, the structure of the house will not be damaged too seriously. If you sort it out casually, you can still live there. A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the floor, the walls are covered with spider webs, and small insects such as cockroaches can be seen crawling on the ground quickly. It can be seen that no one has been here for a long time. Now even vagrants in this world are not willing to live in such a place where murderers and mad people have appeared. They are worried that they will be implicated for no reason. Maybe that's why Yi Tian's residence can be so well preserved.

"Let's stay here for the time being." Yi Tian threw down his bag and began to tidy up the house. I will live here all the time in the future. I'm afraid there is no other place to go. Yi Tian was thinking nonsense while sorting it out. Bai Lian also helped to sort it out without saying a word.

So the two lived in a dilapidated place in Yitian, but it was definitely not very good. Both of them have just left the orphanage and have a limited understanding of the outside world. Even if they have read books related to the outside in the orphanage, after all, they are still books rather than reality, and the differences are still extremely obvious.

Although Yi Tian's old house is in an extremely dilapidated community, there are still some people living in this community. Although they are not tramps or something, they are all poor people, worse than those poor people in the slums. At least the places where the people live in the slums are still neat, and there is no neatness here. What's more strange is that there are not many people living here, but there is nothing to see either during the day or at night. Except for the faint yellow light flashing in the buildings at night, which shows that they still live here. Outside of others.

Yi Tian didn't know where to find the abandoned boards and casually nailed them to block the door as a gate, and the broken windows were also randomly sticky with some broken boards and waste paper to protect against the wind. The electricity was stolen by Yi Tian from elsewhere, otherwise no one would have come here to help connect the wires. What's more, Yi Tian and the two have no money to let people connect the wires or something.

The originally dilapidated house was randomly sorted out by the two people. Although it was not intact, at least it was much cleaner and barely gave people a sense of home. When the whole house was tidyed up, the two encountered one of the most difficult checkpoints since they left the orphanage and worked. No matter what world is, there is no money without a job, and there is no way to live without money. No matter how new the two are, they are still clear about the basic way of survival.

The two decided to find a job after discussion. But at this time, the two suddenly felt dark in front of them and didn't know where to find a job. The orphanage is only responsible for raising them and has not taught them any skills at all, let alone where to find a job.

In fact, the two had no choice but to go out and look for it blindly.

Yi Tian knew his situation, so when he decided to go out to find a job, he made up his mind to hide something. And Bailian is innocent and has nothing to hide.

Under the pressure of survival, Yi Tian and Bai Lian separated to find a job that suits them. It was also proposed by Yi Tian to find it separately. Yi Tian did not want Bai Lian to worry about himself. Yi Tian could roughly guess all the problems he might encounter in the process of job hunting, which made him more reluctant to let Bai Lian follow. Early in the morning, the two separated at the intersection and then went to find a job separately.

After walking for a distance, Bai Lian suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Tian's back, who was about to disappear at the corner. As a person who grew up with Yi Tian, how can Bai Lian not know what Yi Tian is thinking, but even if it is said. No one can change what Yi Tian has decided, so Bailian can only follow his decision.

When Yi Tian's figure disappeared at the corner, Bai Lian sighed slightly and finally followed with some uneasily. The blue light flashed in her eyes, and then she followed quickly as if riding the wind. At this time, Bailian changed back to the appearance of that day, but her eyes were still rational, and she would not lose her mind as much as that day.

Yi Tian, who had already disappeared at the corner, naturally didn't know what happened behind him, let alone what happened to Bailian. He walked a long secluded road, then drilled out of an exit and came to a slightly noisy place. The street and the path that Yi Tian has just walked through seem to be in two worlds. One place is full of people and noisy, while the other place is quiet and can't be heard.

Standing at the exit and looking at the crowd, Yi Tian took a slight breath. He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable. When he gradually got used to the noise in his ear, Yi Tian decided to walk in one direction. His eyes began to look for job advertisements on flashing signs or walls. Finally, after he walked most of the street, he saw a recruitment advertisement printed on white paper.

That's an advertisement for dishwashing workers in a restaurant. Although machines have been able to do most of the things in this era, it is not cost-effective to use machines to wash dishes, especially for some smaller restaurants. When Yi Tian saw this recruitment advertisement, he felt that his breathing was about to stop. He didn't expect to encounter a job opportunity so soon. So he stood at the door and slightly tied up his instrument with the glass on the wall to avoid making people look too sloppy.

After everything was sorted out, Yi Tian took a deep breath and opened the door of the restaurant.

"Welcome!" The mechanical but pleasant sound came to his ears at the moment Yi Tian pushed the door open. Yi Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a male waiter in uniform coming over. The waiter smiled at Yi Tian and said, "Sir, how many are there?" The waiter's voice is neither humble nor loud, showing good quality.

Yi Tian was stunned again, and then pulled out an ugly smile on his stiff face and said, "Hello, I came to find a job after watching the advertisement." At this time, Yi Tian's head was already mudd. It's not that he hasn't been to the restaurant before, but at that time he was too young to have a clear memory.

The waiter obviously did not expect Yi Tian to say so, because the advertisement has clearly marked that the candidate should enter through the side door. However, the waiter did not show any impatience. He still smiled and said to Yi Tian, "Sir, if you want to apply, please enter through the side door. There are special people who will interview you."

"Ah?" Yi Tian didn't notice such a point in the advertisement at all. Hearing the waiter's words, not only his face turned red, but he still bravely asked, "Where is the side door?"

"After going out, turn left and you will see a green door, which is there." The waiter still answered very politely.

Yi Tian thanked him and went out of the door. Turn left and saw a green door. He was about to knock on the door when it creaked open. Yi Tian was stunned outside the door for a moment and then entered the green door. There is a short aisle behind the door. When you turn left, you will see another arched door, but there is no door. There is a bright light behind the arched door, and there is a desk facing the door, but there is no one next to the table. Yi Tian slowly entered the arch door, and then he saw a set of sofas placed on the left side of the entrance. A slightly fat middle-aged man sat on the sofa randomly. The middle-aged man was eating randomly with a bag of unknown things in his hand, and the sofa on his face was covered with food debris.

When the middle-aged man saw someone coming in, he threw the things in his hands on the sofa, regardless of whether the contents were spilled out or not. After wiping his hands on his clothes, he stood up and said, "Are you here to apply?" His voice was a little hoarse, and more of an indescribable strange feeling.

Yi Tian nodded and said yes.

The middle-aged man walked to Yi Tian and stretched out his thick left hand and said, "Take out your ID card." He asked Yi Tian for his ID card without asking anything.

Yi Tian was stunned, but he quickly took out a business card-sized card from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man ignored Yi Tian's performance and went straight to the desk with Yi Tian's ID card, inserted it into a black box the size of a business card holder, and then a series of words appeared on the display screen on the office desk. The middle-aged man quickly browsed the text, then pulled out Yi Tian's ID card and handed it back to Yi Tian, "If you don't meet the conditions, please return." The middle-aged man did not say anything superfluous. After returning his ID card to Yi Tian, he sat back on the sofa and still ate.

A series of actions of middle-aged people made Yi Tian confused, but it is very clear that he has been rejected by Yi Tian. But why did the middle-aged man refuse himself without asking? Yi Tian had no way to leave with doubts, so he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Why don't you hire me?"

"You are not eligible. Go back quickly." The tone of middle-aged people has not changed much.

"Why?" Without getting the desired answer, Yi Tian asked again.

The middle-aged man stopped his movements, looked at Yi Tian, and said slowly, "Because you are the son of a murderer." The middle-aged man's tone is very light and has no intention of insulting Yi Tian. But when his words came to Yi Tian's ears, Yi Tian still felt a loud noise in his ear.

Yi Tian didn't know what came out of that door, nor did he know how he got home. He only remembers that the middle-aged man lightly said that he was the son of a murderer.
