Thousands of Hearts

"Is that all there is for today?"

In a dark and narrow room, a thin man withdrew his fingers from a stack of thin banknotes on the table.

"Too little."

The young man in front of him lowered his head and stood there tremblingly, not daring to move.

"I said, too few!!!" The man's voice suddenly changed from soft to roaring.

Boom!

A small heavy object hit the boy on the shoulder. The pain caused him to stagger back and fall to the ground.

That's an ashtray.

"Within a week, if I don't get 10,000 yuan, you and your mother will get out of here!!"

The man knocked the empty wine bottle on the table to the ground with a slap.

The wine bottle rolled on the ground with a grunt, making a harsh friction sound.

The boy didn't make a sound, but habitually curled up and got up, then stepped back and left.

Run out of the house, out of the residential building, out of the community.

Jayne looked at the sky.

A pencil gray sky, a cloud of mist. There seemed to be something burning in the sky.

That is the last afterglow of the setting sun.

He pulled the hem of his small gray suit and buttoned the front buttons so that he could cover the collar of his sweat-stained and greasy underwear that hadn't been washed for a long time.

Then, Jayne walked slowly on the side of the street outside the community.

His long black hair covers his eyes so that he can look out through the gaps in the hair.

Observe which one is the fat sheep that he is more convenient to attack.

It was his father's request to choose a target every morning and evening, and then to strike, whether successful or not.

His father was a once seasoned thief. Later, after marrying his mother and giving birth to him, he seldom made a move.

It wasn't until he grew up that the family savings were exhausted, and that man forced him to start learning the skills of stealing.

Usually, the man called father likes to drink heavily, and beats and scolds him and his mother at every turn.

My mother always liked to hide in her house alone, crying and not wanting to face anything.

There were even several days when the family had no food for several days. She didn't eat a meal at home alone, fainted in the room from hunger, and did not go out.

Jayne didn't know why he could persist.

All he knew was that he must not be kicked out. Once he was kicked out and had no place to live, he couldn't believe what might happen.

The city at night is very scary. Rumor has it that all kinds of weird and terrifying things will happen.

Jayne didn't dare to think about it, he had to quickly steal more money and property before he could be allowed to go home and rest.

He was already very tired, and he wanted to lie down on the soft bed and sleep hard for a whole day.

He felt that his hands were shaking, which was due to excessive fatigue caused by long-term lack of sleep.

Walk slowly along the street.

Jayne identified the surrounding past residents one by one.

At the gate of the passing security bureau, some recent public security cases were posted.

Another person disappeared in the south of the city, this time it was a rich lady, and a reward of 100,000 yuan was offered.

On the snow-white notice offering a reward, a photo of the rich girl was clearly printed. She was a fat black girl with big eyes and fierce eyes. She looked like a school bully.

In addition, there are gang fights in the dark. Recently, several dead bodies are found in the sewer every day, and they are posted here to find the source of their identities.

Jayne walked through the security station and walked to a convenience store.

A neatly dressed black-haired man with a short black staff just walked out of the convenience store.

He recognized him. It was Mr. Gorman, a rich man who had just moved to live nearby.

It is said that on the first day he came, he bought an entire small villa on this street.

The previous owner of the villa was Sir Grande, a well-known wealthy businessman nearby.

Jayne looked at this handsome Mr. Gorman, especially the bulging wallet around his waist. My heart gradually became hot.

If you can steal that wallet, maybe you can complete the mission for the next week, right?

He thought so.

Then, following the instinct of his body, he slowly approached that Mr. Gorman without a trace.

One in front of the other, the two turned across the street, passed a small supermarket, walked through a tree-lined avenue, and finally walked into a somewhat dark alley.

Jayne suddenly saw Gorman in front of him stop.

He hurriedly wanted to hide to the right, where there was a wide cargo container, which allowed him to hide and cover his entire body.

"Poor kid, come out, I see you." Gorman's voice came from the front. It was obvious that he had discovered Jayne a long time ago, and he was just deliberately leading him here.

Jayne paused, turned around and was about to run back in a panic.

But there was a crisp crash, and the sound of rubbing and colliding coins and banknotes made him stop abruptly.

"Poor kid." Gorman, who is now Wang Yiyang, turned around at some point and looked at him calmly.

"I see humbleness, cowardice, fear, and pain in your eyes..."

Jayne opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

He is not actually cowardly! He yelled to himself in his heart.

He just didn't want his mother to suffer, he wanted to rescue her from that demon!

"Son, do you need money very much?" Wang Yiyang held a money bag lightly with one hand, and there was a crisp sound of coins colliding inside.

grunt.

Jayne swallowed involuntarily in his throat.

He has stolen too many wallets, so he can naturally hear how much there is in it.

"Money is nothing to me, but I need you to work for me in exchange."

Wang Yiyang looked at the young boy with a smile.

He likes such a boy.

Young, energetic, and full of repressed hearts are the best breeding grounds for the seeds of magic.

Not to mention, the other party has another identity.

"Take it." He simply threw the money bag to Jayne, then turned and left.

When a child who has been depressed and has to submit to his father because of the house suddenly gets a large amount of money, a large amount of wealth enough for himself and his mother to move out.

Then, from this moment on, this sum of money is no longer wealth, but hope.

Wang Yiyang gave Jayne a hope.

It also gave him a gap to vent.

Get out of the alley.

Wang Yiyang looked up at the sky, the biting coldness above the zenith was still there, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

The whole city seemed to be submerged in icy mist everywhere.

This indicates that the old gods who once ruled the universe have been revived.

And the black angels were unable to guard them, so they could only turn to the current ancient gods for help.

It's a pity that the ancient gods have declined for a long time, and there are only a few remnants left to support the overall situation.

There must be a battle between the old gods and the ancient gods.

Wang Yiyang searched the memory data in his mind.

With his golden status this time, he is also an incredible big shot.

The identity is an outer god, and the creator of the eternal garden. According to the scene described in memory, this identity is also the pinnacle of a saint.

Of course, the system is not the Dao system, but the Dao of Devouring Heaven system similar to the Dao of Demons.

It's just that in actual combat, it's almost the same as the apex of the sage.

Wang Yiyang found an old cafe on the street, went in, sat down, and ordered a glass of milk.

Then he looked at the identity system in the lower right corner of his field of vision.

'The Gate of the Void: The revival of the old gods requires the selection of three human nodes with special physiques as supports to open up the general trend.

And these three nodes are the beginning of opening the nightmare of the old gods. They will establish different rituals and offer sacrifices to guide the resurrection of the old gods.

And in the same way, the opening of the gate of the void also requires the selection of a human with a special physique as a node.

The node identities are as follows: 1. Jayne Potter, 2. Seneca Sal, 3. Beransiman Ben. '

Jayne Potter among them is the kid Wang Yiyang just came into contact with.

That fourteen-year-old kid was already a skilled thief.

Of course, the tracking technology may be a bit worse.

But he is undoubtedly one of the nodes chosen by the old gods to start the general trend.

"In other words, it's a bit like the Child of Destiny in the novel, but the Child of Destiny here will fend for itself after opening, no one cares about it. It's a one-off."

Wang Yiyang sighed in his heart.

In different worldviews, the situation that appears is also very different.

In this universe, this planet is the root core of everything.

All the old and ancient gods are watching this planet.

And the level here is so strict that it cannot be described.

Human beings are always just ants in the struggle between the old gods and the ancient gods.

No matter how human beings strive to improve, they can only constantly switch between larger insects and smaller insects.

The huge old gods, or even just awakening, may cause a terrible catastrophe.

Wang Yiyang thought for a while, the condition for him to open the gate of void is also to find these so-called nodes.

Let them be completely voluntary, without any coercion, to dedicate all of themselves, body, soul, and burn them all, so that they can break the rules and complete the ceremony.

"However, the nodes I need are not the same as the nodes that the old gods need. As long as they don't come to provoke me, I don't need to bother with the so-called battle of the old gods.

Everyone does their best. "

It was not in vain that Wang Yiyang came here these days.

The three nodes prompted by the system have been found.

Jayne just now is the last node.

The planet is still at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

All countries compete for the first place in armaments, and powerful warships and cannons have become the core of human pursuit.

The hegemony of the sea is constantly changing, and I will appear on the stage after your family sings.

The gap between the nobility and the poor is gradually widening.

The pollution brought about by the industrial revolution is also increasing the burden on the planet.

The entire planet is full of materialistic desires, and all of these are becoming breeding grounds for evil and shadows.

Unemployment has risen sharply, and pollution has made people cherish their health more and more.

Disease, crime, and the exaggerated gap between rich and poor make people's emotions continue to accumulate.

Human nature is gradually distorted, and morality is gradually corrupted and lost.

In such a general environment, the country named Baili that Wang Yiyang emerged is in a sensitive period of change.

It's like a giant powder keg filled with dynamite, just waiting for one to ignite and it will cause a terrorist explosion.

After drinking the milk, Wang Yiyang got up, picked up his cane, and walked out of the cafe slowly.

It was completely dark outside, and the dim lights of the street lamps swayed in the wind.

The air began to smell more and more of dust and chemical exhaust.

This is that the factory owners are secretly increasing the emission of exhaust gas.

Although this planet has signed environmental and atmospheric protection contracts with various countries many times, it is useless.

Capitalists will still find ways to avoid these so-called contracts through the cracks.
