It was an ordinary summer noon.

In the villa restaurant where the sun shines through, a man with a haggard look and a thin body is sitting at the light green glass dining table. The metal back chair with a hollow design has not become warm due to the baking of the sun. It is obviously summer.

, but he was wearing a thick coat.

At this moment, the thin man's left hand is holding a black mobile phone, while the index finger of his right hand is sliding up and down on the screen slightly, slowly, and rhythmically.

A picture flashed on the screen, and the innocent smiles of the children made him feel more energetic;

Half an hour later, the man put his cell phone on the dining table and murmured:

"You can only rely on yourselves from now on..."

The mug next to the mobile phone has a black raven with seven bloody eyes printed on it.

The workmanship of the mug is very exquisite, and the raven gives people a weird feeling.

The cup was filled with a dark liquid that looked like coffee.

Wisps of light smoke from the mouth of the cup floated towards the tip of the man's nose intentionally or unintentionally, making him frown.

The taste of this stuff doesn't seem to be very good.

There is a list under the mug, and when you look up, there are three large handwritten characters:

"Yu Renjie"

He looked at the list, his bright eyes staring at words such as "complete necrosis", "incurable", "hereby proved", with a calm expression.

After a long time, he finally sighed helplessly:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait..."

"There's no one I can turn to..."

...

The complicated thoughts were flashing through Renjie's mind. In his decades of life, the only person he could count as a friend was the furry kid named "Pangpang".

Various past events gradually emerged before my eyes...the innocent eyes of the children, their sincere gratitude...

The image of a little girl became clearer and clearer in his mind, her vibrant braids dancing happily, and she said sweetly:

"Thank you uncle!"

At this time, Yu Renjie's lips couldn't help but curl up again.

'I don't regret it...' he confirmed the answer in his heart.

Cursing a few words in his mind, he blinked his eyes and tilted his head, throwing away the increasingly chaotic thoughts from his mind, and focused his attention on the mug again.

The thing in the cup was obtained at a great cost to him. The seller told Yu Renjie that this thing has a miraculous effect on him now!

Anyway, there is absolutely no hope. Instead of just sitting and waiting for death, it is better to "treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor" and give him a try.

No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than the current situation, right?

Yu Renjie is a brave man who dares to fight hard, and he is also a very intelligent person. He has carefully inspected the raw materials for cooking before.

None of the materials above are toxic, and mixing them together will not produce any toxic chemical reactions or strange effects such as "mutual conflict".

This stuff smells bad and must taste awful, but it's definitely not poisonous!

'True words are harsh to the ears, but good medicine is bitter to the mouth. Maybe it can really cure yourself.' Yu Renjie comforted himself in his heart.

As an avid lover of mysterious culture, Yu Renjie always believes:

"Miracles" exist!

Before he was about to drink the liquid in the mug, he took out the piece of paper from his pocket again, which the seller claimed had "miraculous effects" and looked at it.

The material of this paper is very strange. It looks dark yellow like it has been burned, but it is as strong as leather. Compared with ordinary paper, it is undoubtedly very heavy.

After Yu Renjie recorded the above content, he tried various methods such as vigorously tearing, cutting, soaking in water, and burning, but the paper page was not damaged at all.

This undoubtedly gave Yu Renjie a little more confidence in the seller's words.

There were dark lines on the page. After careful identification, he vaguely recognized that the painting appeared to be a long-haired woman in strange clothes, wrapped in several giant snakes. The snake's head was slightly smaller than the woman's head, and she was spitting out messages with bared teeth.

, extremely ferocious.

Because of the writing on it, the color difference, perhaps the age, and a series of other reasons, Yu Renjie's curiosity could only go so far.

He put the paper aside and looked at the mug blankly.

Immediately, Yu Renjie took a deep breath and brought the cup to his mouth.

After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head and drank heavily.

"Cough...cough..."

Yu Renjie put down his cup and couldn't help but cough a few times.

A few seconds after the dark liquid entered his throat, the first thing that impressed him was the taste. Yu Renjie's entire face became disgusting. The experience just now was not good.

Just when he was about to get up and pour a glass of water to rinse his mouth, he couldn't help but shudder.

So cold!

The cold air came so quickly that Yu Renjie immediately felt as if he was about to freeze.

At this hot summer noon, it's like being naked and counting the nine cold days.

it's too cold!!!

Immediately afterwards, his heart suddenly shrank for no apparent reason. The pain was so painful that Yu Renjie, who had just stood up, stumbled and fell to the ground, making a heavy "bang" sound.

Under the double package of severe cold and severe pain, his mind still remained clear. Years of work experience gave Yu Renjie a firm conclusion:

'poisoned!'

'But it shouldn't be? How could it be poisonous? I have clearly confirmed it carefully before.'

As his thoughts turned around, he couldn't help but think of one of the materials on the page, "Tiannan sweet apricot", and then he thought of another cheap material that was very similar to it, "Dibei bitter apricot".

The relationship between the two is like twins!

This was his first time cooking, and he just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with the ingredients, but he didn't even think about buying the wrong one.

"Damn the black-hearted businessman!" Yu Renjie said these words through gritted teeth.

Bitter apricot is highly poisonous!

But on second thought, he rejected the idea. Sellers of such highly toxic materials did not dare to sell them casually, because they would kill people!

‘Did the seller accidentally make a mistake?’ He felt in his heart that this was the most likely truth.

Yu Renjie struggled to get up and tried to get the cell phone on the dining table to ask for help, but he couldn't do it as his body became increasingly stiff!

This almost petrified cold feeling, and the severe pain that his heart was about to be crushed, made him gradually weak.

In less than a minute, Yu Renjie's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just when he was about to close his eyes, the last picture he saw in his life was a performance poster of his part-time job as a circus clown posted on the wall.

.

And Fatty.

.......

Like a piece of ice gradually thawing in the deep dark sea, Yu Renjie slowly regained consciousness.

'not dead!'

This was the first surprising thought that came to his mind.

But soon, Yu Renjie discovered something strange about himself.

He is completely unable to move at the moment!

I can't even raise my eyelids!

What's even weirder is...he can't feel the existence of his body at all!

'what happened?!'

The joy of surviving the catastrophe was quickly taken over by doubts. Yu Renjie began to try to move, but he felt nothing.

Immediately afterwards, there was a tearing pain in his head, as if something was trying to tear his consciousness out of his head.

Yu Renjie had a splitting headache and wanted to hold his head, roll over, and yell.

However, he was also unable to make even a single sound.

At this moment, a man's voice reached his ears:

"Joseph, do you think this can be sold for thirty thousand Camila?"

"Of course! The guy looked like a hermit, so I took the opportunity to increase the price by 30%. He didn't even counter-offer and just agreed." The man named Joseph replied.

"They are so rich?! Then why didn't you raise the price more?"

"You are such an idiot! Pine! The Hermits are like rats hiding in the shadows and baring their teeth. Being too greedy will only arouse their dissatisfaction and bring unnecessary disasters to themselves."

"Don't worry! I feel like those guys won't just trade this once, we will still make money in the future."
