The black-haired boy didn't know how long he had been lying in the garbage dump. He could feel his hunger and the weakness in his limbs.At first, the boy couldn't move at all, he could only vaguely feel the change of light between dawn and night again.Perhaps it was because the energy consumption required to lie down was very low, but the boy could barely maintain consciousness with a strong will, and he could still open his mouth when it was raining lightly, allowing the slightly acidic rain to moisten his dry throat.

The boy didn't know why he was here, but he subconsciously felt that it had been a long, long time... It's been a long, long time since he was so down and out!

After a while, perhaps because of drinking the rainwater, the boy felt that his body had accumulated some strength, and then he struggled to get up from the garbage dump. The soreness from all over his body made the boy move It became extremely slow, and every movement seemed to depend on him clenching his teeth to persist.

"Hey, is this little bug still alive?" Several men who were sitting near the garbage dump, looking for food in a large garbage bag, stood up when they heard the movement from the garbage dump, and then Walked in the direction of the boy.

"It is said that worms have strong vitality, no wonder people call him a little worm! It's been a day and night, and he can still get up!" One of the men with holes in his ears and lips walked towards him step by step. The boy approached, and the next second when the boy was struggling to stand up straight, he grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, "I heard that such a child is the easiest to awaken such superpowers, maybe we all beat him up." If he does it a few times, this little bug will breathe fire, haha!"

"Hmph, just this kind of bug? It would be nice to live past the age of ten in the slums." The man who first noticed the boy woke up seemed to be the leader of a few homeless men, and he was looking at the man with fierce eyes. The boy said, "Boy, tell me where your cunning grandpa is hiding, and I'll let you go, how about it?"

"Hmm—" The feeling of being picked up by someone is definitely not very good, and it also caused the boy who was so painful that he wished to pass out that he had to open his eyes, then looked at the homeless men in front of him, and said almost word by word :"who are you……"

The boy's voice was very hoarse due to the discomfort in his throat. I don't know if it was because of this, even the boy himself felt that his voice was very strange.

"Ah?" The expression on the head of the homeless man immediately became ugly, he grabbed the boy's right hand, pulled him out of the hand of the hole-puncher, and threw him back into the garbage dump, "Little bug, show It's fine if you're a good boy, maybe I can let you be a follower. In the end, you actually played amnesia with me here? Huh?"

"Boss, this little bug has already been taught that he has no consciousness. It probably won't be able to figure out the whereabouts of that old thing." The hole puncher looked at the boy who was thrown on the ground like the corpse of a kitten or puppy, and felt a little surprised. .Obviously, she was crying and crying all the time before passing out, so it is estimated that she is really unconscious now.

"Even if you can't find that old thing, you have to teach him a lesson so that even his grandfather can't recognize the little bug he picked up. This is the price that old thing dares to pick up treasures from our land!" The tramp leader gritted his teeth. looked at the boy and said.

The order in the slums has always been the worst in Andura Fortress. The order in other places in Andura Fortress is as chaotic as the order in the slums.This also led to many tramps with well-developed limbs dividing their territories in the slums and dominating them.These days, people who are a little normal or have skills have left the slums, and most of the people left are either old people or weak children.Facing the evil forces composed of these vagrants, the elderly and children can only bear the oppression.

But, for the slum dwellers, there is one thing more terrifying than the homeless, and that is - death!If you know that you will starve to death if you don’t eat, then even the elderly and children will find ways to survive.The old man who raised the black-haired boy accidentally broke into the garbage dump occupied by these homeless people when he and his grandson were so hungry that they could hardly speak, and then picked up some garbage from the homeless people. A crystal nucleus was accidentally found in the bag!

The old man placed the boy in a safe place, and then exerted all his strength to speed up his pace, trying to exchange the crystal nucleus for food outside the slum.But I didn't expect those tramps to find the boy, and believed that the old man was hiding with the crystal nucleus, and then started punching and kicking a weak child...

Perhaps, besides finding the old man with the crystal nucleus, attacking a child can also satisfy the perverted pleasure of these homeless people.

"What are you doing!"

Just when the tramps were about to pick up the boy again, a young man's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Who?" When the tramp leader turned his head away, he only saw a guy standing there who didn't look like a member of the slum at all.He was dressed in clean and comfortable casual clothes, and he wore shiny leather shoes. No matter how he looked, he was the kind of young master who lived outside the slums.

"A group of big men bullying a child? Then don't blame me for hitting too hard!" When the young man with black hair was speaking, his hands were already covered with flames. He was obviously a very domineering flame superpower. .

And before the boy passed out again, the last thing he saw was the fire that soared into the sky, and the last thing he heard were the screams and begging for mercy of the homeless people...

It hurts...my body hurts...

How long has it been since you felt such pain?It's been so long that I can't remember.

What's up with that sense of powerlessness all over my body?Why did those ugly guys dare to be so rude?Don't they know I'm...

who am I?

I seem to remember something in my mind, the golden... Who is it?Who is that person that comes to mind?What is he saying?What is he saying loudly?can't hear...

"Hey! Kid, wake up! Big brother has cornbread here! Would you like to smell it?" The black-haired young man had already carried the child out of the garbage dump at this time, and placed him in an empty space not far away. in the house.Although the empty house was full of holes in the walls and eaves, it was still a lot better than that smelly place on the whole.Now the young man was taking a tortilla from his fanny pack and dangling it in front of the boy's nose.

I don't know if it was really because of the smell from the tortillas that the boy actually opened his eyes, but he still looked extremely weak.After the young man put the tortilla near the boy's mouth, the boy struggled to sit up immediately, and then started to eat with big mouthfuls while holding the tortilla.

"It seems that I'm really hungry." The young man looked at the boy's movements and the look in his eyes, he sighed helplessly, then took out another cornbread and put it in front of the boy, " Big Brother is Edward, Edward Perry. You can call me Brother Edward! For the sake of the two tortillas I gave you, can you tell Big Brother your name?"

Edward, who was very confident in his own affinity, could only shake his head helplessly when he saw that the boy was only eating cornbread without even looking at him.

"Speaking of which, the slums in Andura are really a bit scary. Although the quality of life of the civilians in Fortress Missida is not high, they have a lot of job opportunities and feel much happier than the people here." The boy's silence did not I was able to stop Edward from continuing, "Actually, it's really strange. When I was in Misseda Fortress, I never felt that there were any advantages there, but after I got here, I started to miss home."

After eating the first tortilla, the boy slowed down a lot when he ate the second tortilla. I don't know if it was because he was reluctant to finish the tortilla, or he was concentrating on listening to Edward.However, considering that the other party is only a child under ten years old, Edward naturally felt that the correct answer should be the former, so he kindly said: "Don't worry, I still have a lot of corn cakes here!"

Maybe it's because there are too few chat partners on weekdays, but the boy's silence made Edward feel that the other party is the best listener, so he continued to talk long-windedly——

"My nominal father is the leader of Missida Fortress. Sounds great, right? In fact, I grew up under the care of my elder brother. Our biological father is the elder brother of the current father. Hehe, it's because This, so I never call him father, nor uncle, I always call him an old man very badly! Although that old man looks very young, I just want to anger him and see how he changes his face. Even if Even now, I also feel that the old man is not a qualified father. However, I have to admit that he is indeed a very good leader... Especially after seeing this slum, I feel so even more."

"Andura's technology is so advanced that any job can be replaced by machinery, which is very convenient. I remember that a few years ago, Andura once proposed a deal, using planting and construction machinery in exchange for a team of superpowers As a result, the old man quickly refused. The old man said that people are not props and cannot be traded. The words are very beautiful, aren’t they?” Although Edward raised the question, he never thought of getting the other party from the very beginning. In response, the famished boy was still nibbling at the tortilla.

"At that time, I felt that the old man's words were hypocritical, because if Missida had mastered those machines, the construction of the fortress would definitely be better than before. And at that time, there were many convoys of superpowers who wanted to move to Andura Fortress , even if the old man opposed the transaction at that time, Andura still had a team of superpowers afterwards. However, I understand now... It is precisely because Missida lacks technology that there are more jobs for civilians, no It will be like Andura Fortress, let the machine do all the work, and then completely abandon the entire slum..."

"But having said that, as a father, that old man is really incompetent! He never cared about my life. Compared with me and my brother, he seems to pay more attention to that guy named Seiler, obviously we are his Isn’t it my blood relative? No matter how hard I study and express myself, that old man always takes everything for granted, so I’m going to run away from home this time, and let that old man worry about it!”

"boring!"

The boy who was sitting there nibbling on tortillas suddenly spoke, and Edward was dumbfounded by the simple two words...

"Boring? You say I'm boring?" Edward, who always felt that the boy was weak, soft and silent, felt that he had misjudged the man all along!

"It's good that you work hard. But when you are struggling with how to get your father's attention, how about those of us who can't even eat in the last days? Go out and ask the people in the slums and give them food every day Wear it, and then ask them if they have any other requests? Ask if they need to wait for other people's attention?" The boy turned his head and looked at Edward with a serious expression, "Obviously life is so good, but still Are you a child who struggles with such questions?"

"You are a child! Look like a child, okay?" Edward suddenly felt that he had a headache. He just saved a child who was being bullied, and then complained to the child who was not talking, why now? Was he educated in reverse?

"Hmph!" Regarding Edward's proposal, the boy just snorted coldly in disdain, as if he didn't want to talk to him more.

"Speaking of which, why on earth are those homeless people tormenting you?" Edward asked, changing the subject, "Could it be that he is too hungry and wants to taste the boy's tender meat?"

"I don't know." The boy tightened his grip on the tortilla, and then said distressedly, "I don't remember, I don't remember anything!"

"Could it be because he was bullied too much?" Although Edward felt that the child in front of him was not like a child, Edward's sympathy was seriously aroused by the other party's experience, so Edward thought about it and asked again One sentence, "Child, do you want to eat bread and drink milk?"

"Bread and milk?" Although the boy didn't remember anything, he didn't lack any common sense in life. When he heard Edward's question, he replied reflexively, "What's so delicious about that kind of thing?" However, sometimes The human body is indeed much more honest than what the mouth says. Just after the boy finished answering, his stomach started growling, and it seemed like it would never stop!

Because of being betrayed by his own stomach, even if the boy has the personality of "a big kid", he can't help but feel a little shy.After seeing the boy's embarrassing expression, Edward laughed "haha", hugged the boy with one hand, and said, "Go, brother, I will take you to eat something delicious! Maybe it can heal your injuries."

It is precisely because of this series of behaviors of the boy that Edward feels that it is a waste for the child to stay in the slums all the time, so he wants to take the child out and let him leave the slums forever.In fact, Edward's first thought was to let this kid join the Hogwarts team, but Edward himself was a rookie who had just joined the team, so he really had no say in the matter of recruiting newcomers.What's more, the other party is just an ordinary child with no ability, but a little poisonous mouth?

"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for a guy from our team who was unconscious, he could heal your injury in the blink of an eye!" Edward was talking about Sariel who had treated Hermione.Although Edward has never seen Sallyer treat other people except for that one treatment, but because of the difficulty of eliminating the zombie virus, Sallyer has almost become a "miracle doctor" in the eyes of the entire team. "Synonymous.

"Even the doctor himself is unconscious?" Although the boy who was carried away by Edward felt that this posture was a bit awkward, he couldn't break free no matter what. Trying to break free would only make his injuries worse.

"Yeah, that doctor has a good friend, or a brother? In short, the relationship between the two is very close." Edward said as he walked, "Since the doctor fell into a coma, his friend has been Watching him in the room, not eating or sleeping is almost crazy. Sometimes the captain of our team went in to persuade him, and he was very irritable and said that the captain would disturb his friends. That guy named Gabriel It's a pity that he is obviously a very optimistic person, but he has tossed himself into such a picture."

"Gabriel..." The boy repeated the name, feeling the familiarity it brought him.

"Yeah, because of that guy, the atmosphere in the team is really depressing. So how about going back with me, kid? There are many beautiful big sisters in the team!"

Under such circumstances, the boy was taken back to the hotel where the team stayed temporarily by Edward in the name of "active atmosphere".After Marisa and Hermione learned about the boy's experience in the slums, coupled with the boy's tattered clothes and injuries all over his body, the women in the team immediately became pregnant.Some went to prepare bath water, some were busy reciting restoration spells, some prepared bread and milk, and some hurriedly went to the street to buy children's clothes... Generally speaking, the arrival of the boy really disturbed many people. Pulled out of the gloom created by Gabriel, a group of people crowded into Edward's room, busy around the boy.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you still have..."

Just when a bunch of women were busy going around, and the men were helplessly watching and doing chores, a certain messy golden-haired head appeared at the door of Edward's room. It was Sally who had been sleeping all day and night without rest. leaves someone.

"Mr. Gabriel? What's the matter?" Because he knew that the other party was in a very bad mood, Edward was very cautious when he asked.

"You..." But at this moment, Gabriel didn't care about what Edward said at all, and his attention was all on the boy who hadn't been stripped naked by the strange aunts.And the boy also seemed to feel Gabriel's attention, so he looked up at him as soon as he looked up.

Because of the strong thoughts in Gabriel's heart at this moment, coupled with the boy's familiar black hair and black eyes and familiar eyes, everything made Gabriel suddenly recall the things between himself and Sariel when they were young. ...

"Little Jia, why can you find me every time I fail to teleport?" Little Sariel asked curiously while being dragged away helplessly by Little Gabriel.

"Of course! No matter where you are, I will find you!" Gabriel still clearly remembered his proud tone at that time.

"Mr. Gabriel?" Edward stretched out his hand and shook Gabriel's eyes a few times, trying to pull the other person's thoughts back from an unknown place. "Do you know this kid?"

"Ah?" Gabriel, who came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I don't know this kid. At first I thought he was very similar to Sariel when he was a child, but after a closer look Look and see that they are completely different.”

"Mr. Gabriel is because he is too worried about the comatose Mr. Sariel?" Seeing the original blond handsome man turned into this unkempt appearance, the women present also felt very sorry.

"I want to go back." Looking at Gabriel's appearance, the boy suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.Moreover, although the boy lost his memory, from what the group of homeless people said, he should still have a grandfather in the slums.

"Aren't you going to stay? There are a lot of vacant seats in our team, little brother!" Hermione is an only child, so she has always hoped to have a younger brother, especially in the face of the boy's pitiful situation, which can arouse her sympathy.

"No need." The boy shook his head, and then said honestly, "Although my memory is a little missing now, it seems that I still have a grandpa waiting for me. If I don't go back, the old man should be very anxious. Like that It’s like a big golden retriever waiting for his friend to wake up.” The boy noticed that Gabriel had disappeared from the door, and no one even knew why he came here in the first place, probably even Gabriel himself couldn’t remember up.

"At least, at least put on the new clothes we prepared for you!" Marisa said, holding a small suit she bought in a hurry, "and the food that Lin prepared for you, take them with you .”

"No need." The boy touched his stomach, and finally shook his head, "With my current ability, even if I bring these things back to the slums, they will be snatched away soon."

"Let's do this." Finally, Harry, the captain, said, "We'll leave some food with the hotel owner. If you can't find any food after we leave, you can come here to look for it. Also, if you want If you want to leave Andura, and our convoy hasn't started yet, how about you also welcome to join us?"

"Thank you." The boy's thinking is actually very confused now. He feels that he can understand a lot of things, but he feels that these things have nothing to do with him, but in fact these things are indeed closely related to him.Now, it is not easy for the boy to respond according to other people's words. He hopes to go back to the broken house in the slums, and then curl up quietly in the corner, and then tidy up his mess. thoughts.

"Then..." Finally, the boy who decided to leave tugged at the corner of Edward's clothes, and said, "Can you send me back to the garbage dump near the beginning?"

"You are really a little monster." Edward stroked the boy's hair helplessly, sighed and said, "You want to go back to that kind of place so eagerly, what if you meet those homeless people who bully you again?" manage?"

"I don't know." The boy closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and finally found an answer that could express his thoughts, "I just really want to find my true self. I want to know where my relatives are, and I want to know my Where is home, I want to know who I am..."
