When Lu Nansheng walked out of the majestic building of the [Huarui] Municipal Center, the sky was gray and it was raining lightly.

The neon advertisement lights were a bit dazzling, making her squint her eyes, and the blue and white prison uniform on her body was also dyed in colorful colors.

Huayin Amber... no, it was Yan Yang at this time, waiting for her at the door and holding an umbrella for her.

"Miss Lu."

Yan Yang was the only one who came to pick her up. She was completely naked and had just finished the funerals of Ding Ling and Cheng Sai.

The funeral is very simple. Find a small hospital with an incinerator, choose the cremation package and pay for it yourself, and soon a robot will come out pushing the filled ashes.

The funeral is over by burying the ashes in the garbage dump where they played when they were children.

Of course, it was just a burial mound. What was sent into the incinerator were the gadgets that Ding Ling and Cheng Sai used in their daily lives. Their bodies were taken away by the staff after the game.

Lu Nansheng's heart calmed and he said calmly:

"You don't have to call me Miss Lu anymore. I'm just an identityless pawn like you now. Just call me Yaya."

She is no longer a delicate young lady, all her bank accounts have been frozen, and the self-developed technology system has been left to her father as an apology.

She had nothing and was like a new baby.

"Okay, Yaya." Yan Yang held her hand and paused for a moment before saying, "You don't need to call me Huayin Amber, my real name is Yan Yang."

"Yan Yang."

Lu Nansheng smiled at her: "I understand."

"What are you going to do next for Yaya? Why don't you come with me first? I still have a rented apartment in Xiacheng District. I heard from Mr. Fu that the Urban Construction Committee requires you to leave Shangcheng District within 12 hours." Yan Yang asked.

Lu Nansheng nodded: "To be precise, I left Rose City, but in their eyes, Xiacheng District is not part of Rose City."

She thought for a moment, realized she had nowhere to go, and then held Yan Yang's hand:

"Then you're sorry, just let me stay at your house for a few days. I'll move out when I find a job and can make a living."

"Need not."

Yan Yang shook his head: "If it weren't for you, Ding Ling and the others..."

They will die in frustration and powerlessness, and then be forgotten without making any waves.

[Please leave as soon as possible and do not block public office passages]

The stairs in the municipal building are very wide, and there are escalators on both sides that can accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, there is a municipal robot to remind the two people who are still talking.

Seeing this, Lu Nansheng smiled calmly:

"It seems that the masters don't want to see me, let's go."

Yan Yang nodded: "I feel like you are more like a person from Xiacheng District than me."

"The Rose Hero has always been a part of the Lower City."

Lu Nansheng's eyes were firm: "Always."

There was no longer a luxury float car waiting for them, no towels and hot milk always ready. They stepped on the water on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, heading towards the floating elevator station in the upper and lower city areas whose outline could be seen in the distance.

.

Of course, Yan Yang paid for the ticket, and now Lu Nansheng is seriously penniless.

He had been to Xiacheng District many times, but Lu Nansheng was still shocked when he took transportation like an ordinary person without any disguise.

The suspended elevator was so crowded that Lu Nansheng felt like he was going to be crushed.

The air was mixed with the smell of accumulated sweat, and the noise from the public broadcast and the constant stream of vulgar jokes from passers-by still made people feel uncomfortable.

After finally enduring it until the elevator arrived, she was frightened again by the black tricycle driver who was soliciting customers as enthusiastically as if he was kidnapping her.

On the contrary, Yan Yang dealt with it calmly, and the two of them walked out of the elevator station without any danger.

“If you want to live in Xiacheng District, you still have a lot to learn.”

Yan Yang joked: "Hero Rose is familiar with every alley in Xiacheng District where there may be crimes, but he is not familiar with the lifestyle of Xiacheng District."

Lu Nansheng nodded and looked at everything around him as if he were seeing a new world.

The originally inconspicuous streets now look so novel, and every inch is full of life.

"Um... hello... are you the Rose Hero?"

Someone timidly called out to them. Lu Nansheng turned around and found that it was a little girl she had rescued from the space station.

Seeing Lu Nansheng's face, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's really you! Rose Hero! My name is Shan Bao, I can't thank you enough for saving me!"

"Just call me by my name. I'm Lu Nansheng."

It was embarrassing to be called nicknames all the time. Lu Nansheng stopped the excited Shan Bao. Many people had already looked over.

Shan Bao threw himself into Lu Nansheng's arms: "Benefactor!"

"Benefactor, where are you going? I'll see you off!"

There is a small forklift behind Shan Bao. It seems that her daily job is to drive the small forklift to deliver goods everywhere.

Yan Yang and Lu Nansheng looked at each other, and then the former nodded and said an address:

"Then I'll trouble you."

"Wrap it around me."

The three of them got on Shan Bao's small forklift and drove away from the elevator station with a bumpy ride, heading towards Yehuo Street.

In the slightly distorted line of rain in the distance, the black floating car removed its optical camouflage, and the windows slowly closed to cover Lu Ye's eyes, until the inside of the car could no longer be seen from outside.

"Director Lu, do you want us to send someone to follow the lady secretly?"

the driver and secretary asked cautiously from the front seat.

"Miss? Where did the lady come from? Who is the lady?"

Lu Ye snorted, looking like he knew anger was brewing.

"Let's go back and find my good 'son-in-law' and see what explanation he can give me."

"What about little...Ms. Lu?"

The secretary finally changed his tune.

"Let her go. She's used to living a good life, so she has to make herself uncomfortable. If your wings are strong and you want to fly, you can go. If you like the lower city, then go there. If you die outside, just pretend that I don't have this daughter."

Lu Ye was talking angrily, and naturally he was the one who knew the changes in his daughter best. Unless he arrested Lu Nansheng and brainwashed her, this day would come sooner or later.

But so what? If you want to be a hero, go for it. If you want to stand with the common people, go and stand. Will Lu Ye really have anything to lose?

Lu Ye knew his side very well, so he watched and turned a blind eye to the end.

Moreover, it may not be a bad thing for Lu Nansheng. When she realizes that she is naive, she will naturally go home and return to the circle of a giant company.

Who has never been young and naive? Has a heart of justice? Is she, Lu Nansheng, the only one who has it?

When meeting the directors, they all spoke, so naturally the secretary did not dare to say anything else.

The float car flies into the sky through the rain curtain, forming two completely different worlds from the people walking slowly like ants on the ground.

…

When we entered Yehuo Street, the noise did not diminish at all. There were people coming and going everywhere, and the noise could keep everyone awake.

Shan Bao's small forklift nimbly bypassed every obstacle in the way. If it couldn't get around, it would honk the horn wildly.

The customized trumpet sound contained various swear words from downtown areas. The more times it sounded, Lu Nansheng remembered the very brainwashing sentence in it.

"Didi, you bastard!"

The small forklift drove through the busy main street of Yehuo Street. Under the gloomy clouds, the neon signs of the stores had already lit up in advance, illuminating the graffiti on the wall.

The graffiti is a mixture of dark red and black. Although it has faded a bit due to the rain, you can still vaguely see that it is a woman holding a sword high. The evil ghost under the woman's feet has broken hands and feet, and is as humble as an ant.

The sword is Lu Nansheng's shuttle, and the woman holding the sword is her.

Graffiti was spray-painted on the advertising wall of a snack bar, but the store owner showed no intention of repainting it.

"The Rose Hero is very popular in Wildfire Street!"

Shan Bao introduced it enthusiastically.

"Street dogs, gangs, cyberpunks, everyone obeys you! They think you are a hero! Besides me, there are other sisters who want to thank you. I will take you to meet them when I have time!"

There are not so many etiquette and rules in Yehuo Street, we just stick to one principle.

The rose hero saved people from the company dog, and also killed the company dog ​​to help everyone take revenge, then everyone is convinced.

This kind of admiration may be useless when it comes to interests, but there are still people who are willing to give a thumbs up when walking on the street without any injustice or enmity.

Finally, the forklift stopped at the entrance of the alley in the busiest part of the street and dropped Lu Nansheng and Yan Yang down.

Shan Bao stuck his head out and waved:

"Benefactor, please add me as a friend! If you have news about anything, I, Fan Bao, will never be vague!"
