Ch. 1 - Serving the People

"The food is on the table, heat it up yourself."

"Tomorrow is the awakening test so don't stay up late tonight."

A middle-aged man wearing a somewhat old-fashioned but neat suit with a rose in his mouth carefully arranged his hair in front of the mirror.

Although he was middle-aged, he exuded a unique mature charm under the blessing of his appearance, especially the smile at the corner of his mouth that was somewhat unrestrained, which easily made the older ladies fall over their heels.

Yu Sheng sat at the dining table, looking a little absent-minded, and just perfunctorily responded twice.

After everything was ready, the middle-aged man took out a small bottle of perfume and sprayed it in the air, letting the fragrance evenly cover his whole body.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going on a date!"

"Good luck with your test tomorrow!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man hummed a tune in his mouth and left home.

After the middle-aged man left, Yu Sheng took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Excuse me, are you a policeman?"

"I want to report a crime."

"Tonight around eight o'clock, Sophie Hotel, room 302, there might be an obscene case."

"Yes, I'm sure. I saw his room card."

"What is my relationship with him?"

Yu Sheng hesitated for two seconds. "He is my father."

"It's okay, serving the people is a matter of duty."

"Okay, goodbye, policeman."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Sheng was once again in a trance.

His name is Yu Sheng, and the one who just left is his father, Yu San Shui.

It's just that the word father in his memory is a bit vague.

He had lived in Sin City since he was a child but he only learned that he had a father a few months ago.

Sin City is too dark.

There are no rules, no laws and no fairness to speak of.

To survive, you need to use any means necessary.

Until he finally got that precious quota and walked out of Sin City.

Tomorrow is the awakening ceremony for eighteen-year-olds.

It's just...

How many patterns can he hatch?

The scroll that has appeared in his mind since he was a child, as if it were a dead thing, will it change after awakening?

For a while, Yu Sheng thought more and more.

The sky gradually darkened.

Yu Sheng sat at the dining table and ate carefully, he chewed very slowly. Although it was just ordinary food, it seemed to be very precious in Yu Sheng's eyes.

Yu San Shui?

Yu Sheng glanced at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Did the comrades of the Security Bureau fail?

"Say."

Yu Sheng answered the phone and said, Lazily.

On the other end of the phone, Yu San Shui's voice was full of regret: "I don't know which bastard reported me and gave me a point! I'm in the Security Bureau. They insist that I'm whoring."

"This is consensual. Can it be called whoring?"

"Bring some money to redeem me quickly. Otherwise, I guess I won't be able to get out for a few days!"

Yu Sheng said indifferently, "I have no money."

"I know you don't. You go to my bedroom, there's a box under my bed."

"There's a key in the box."

"Turn left when you go out. That key can open the back door of Wang Widow's house."

"There's a vegetable jar at the back door. The money is underneath."

"But be careful when you open the door. She has a dog at home, it's very fierce!"

This plot is thrilling.

It's also rare for Yu San Shui to say it all in one breath.

"Okay."

Yu Sheng hung up the phone and found a stack of red bills under that vegetable jar, just as Yu San Shui said.

About 2000 or so.

He calmly put away the money, returned to his home, washed dishes, swept the floor and tidied up his bed.

After a while.

The phone rang again. It's the Security Bureau.

Yu Sheng answered.

"Yes, I'm Yu San Shui's family member."

"Not redeeming."

"I think we should stop this bad trend and better purify the social environment."

"So please trouble yourself to give him the most profound transformation."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Time is not a problem."

"As long as he can be a useful person to society, it's all worth it."

As he spoke, Yu Sheng's expression gradually became serious: "Prosperity, enlightened ruler, civilization, harmony, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, honesty and friendliness! This is the positive energy that Mo Ge had always advocated!"

"Even us ordinary people, we are always ready."

After speaking, Yu Sheng hung up the phone, fell onto the bed and fell asleep in the night.

In his sleep.

An ancient scroll slowly unfolded from his mind, there seemed to be something faintly painted on it, but it was very dim and blurry.

A ray of starlight passed through the window and covered Yu Sheng.

...

Early morning.

Yu Sheng opened his eyes, washed his face up then prepared breakfast.

After everything was ready, he casually slung his backpack over his shoulder and went out to school.

For someone who has grown up in Sin City since he was a child, going to school is a very novel thing.

At first, he entered the school gate with expectation, but after getting familiar with the classmates around him, he felt that the school was nothing more than that.

Some are naive.

A group of children who have never seen blood, dreaming of how they will kill all enmity, be invincible and maintain world peace every day.

At the school gate.

At this time, many parents were excited to send their children to the school gate.

The annual awakening test can be said to determine the fate of most people.

If you don't have enough talent, you can only be a wage earner for the rest of your life if you don't have any adventures.

Good luck! If you have a way to enter the Security Bureau, maybe life will be more comfortable.

During this period, he also saw a few classmates but he didn't say hello. Those classmates almost subconsciously ignored Yu Sheng.

The classroom.

The head teacher stood on the podium with a cold expression.

Liu Qingfeng, a retired soldier who came down from the front line. Yu Sheng heard that he had fought in the Demon Suppression Pass before and had his right little finger torn off by a demon beast. When he could no longer hold the sword in his hand, he came to such a remote small city and became a teacher.

He always had a cold face and trained them in the way of the army. He made everyone complain so they called him Liu Crazy behind his back.

"After one hour, the awakening test will begin!"

"Maybe you are longing for it now. When you awaken and have a good talent, practice fast, you can kill demon beasts, guard cities and be respected by thousands of people."

"But how many people can really do this?"

"Bathing in blood and killing enemies while blessing the human race's prosperity is admirable."

"But serving the people in the rear is not bad at all!"

"So calm down!"

"In the next hour, adjust yourself."

As Liu Qingfeng's cold and realistic voice fell, the classroom became quiet for a while.

But no one refuted it.

Because they knew that what Liu Qingfeng said was true.

"Serving the people..."

"Or be served by the people..."

At this time, Yu Sheng's voice sounded faint.

In this quiet classroom, it was clear and audible.

For a while, the classmates were collectively petrified.

The second storm hits, wanting to cry without tears.

Originally...

They were not even qualified to serve the people.

Although everyone knows it in their hearts, they can't say it out loud...

It's inevitable to feel depressed.
