Chapter 344 It’s Me, Mom

“I still remember when I was a kid, the village used to be here . ”

You Always Look Unhappy (#0′) pointed to Yang Ji Village, which wasn’t too far away, and the two walked along Guangli Road after coming out of Starbucks . Soon, they came up to Guangzhou Avenue .

This was one of the busiest roads in Huacheng, a spot in the city where the traffic jams were the worst in the morning and evening . Lego drivers on the road impatiently honked at the cars in front of them while inching forward at the speed of a wheelchair .

When the pedestrian light turned green, the traffic stopped, and the two mounted the overpass to get to the other side of the road .

“At that time, I was probably still in elementary school, and I felt that the place was a mess . There were shanty houses everywhere, haphazardly stacked with maze-like alleys, and the wires that hung above me were like spiderwebs . There were also clothes hanging on the wires, and I had to always look out for bicycles! The cyclists would always run through a puddle and splash mud on my pants!”

“Do you still live in this area?”

“Our family rented a house for some time but they demolished the place seven or eight years ago, and we had to move out . I am not a Guangzhou native . My parents came here to work when they were young . ”

Now that the resettled houses and office buildings had been newly built here, Zhang Heng gave them a simple inspection . Each building was over thirty stories tall, and a group of aunties sat by the roadside outside the building with rental leaflets placed by their feet . They chated and sunbathed while waiting for potential tenants to inquire about their properties .

You Always Look Unhappy (#”O’) squatted down to scratch the chin of a stray cat . The feline seemed to enjoy it a lot, purring and wagging its tail . “My father works in a restaurant on the second floor of this office building . He usually gets off at 11:30 at night . He’s a great guy! Once you see him, you’ll know that he never stops smiling for a second . When my final exam results came out, he made me his specialty noodles and celebrated it with me . ”

“Are you going to wait for him?” .

“No need for that,” You Always Look Unhappy (#0′) took a deep breath and stood up . “It’s getting late, and I’m hungry . My mother should be preparing dinner now, just in time for you to have a delicious meal . But before that, there’s still something I need to do . ”

“What’s the matter?”

You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) looked at Zhang Heng .

“Kill me,” she said with a wink .

A high school girl carrying a backpack holding onto an English book as she walked past a male infertility treatment bunting, seizing every minute to memorize as many English words as possible . She did not notice the two people following her from behind .

Earlier, Zhang Heng walked in front of her on purpose and took a quick look at the girl . He found out that she looked almost exactly the same as the person next to him, except she looked more innocent . She lacked the cynical temperament that You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) had .

“Are you sure you want to kill yourself?” Zhang Heng turned to look at her .

The latter shrugged, “If I don’t kill her, I can’t go home . After all, my mother is just an ordinary woman . Even if she is now a Lego brick, she won’t be able to accept that she has two daughters that look exactly the same . I alone am enough to make her worry . It will be a disaster if the two of us come into her life at the same time . There are too many people right now . We can’t kill her here . Let’s wait until she passes through a more deserted place . There are lots of abandoned cars over there . After killing her, stuff her body into one of the trunks . Don’t worry about the police… this world will be destroyed in three days anyway . ” The two followed the innocent girl for a while, and as expected, they came to a place where the traffic was as slow as a trickle . Besides, it was night, and the lights were dim . It was indeed a perfect place to commit a crime, much like the one in the anime Detective Conan .

Zhang Heng took a 1*1 blue Lego brick from the roadside, held it in his hand, and waved it twice . There was also a string of numbers, 300523 printed on it, where every LEGO brick had its own serial number .

“Are you going to do it, or do you want me to do it?”

“You do it… Aren’t you really pissed by my pranks? Here’s your chance for revenge . Just kill me . I hope you can gain some joy out of it . ”

Zhang Heng did not say a word . He carried the blue LEGO brick and walked towards the girl . However, he was still not used to acting in LEGO mode . The strange sound of his footsteps quickly caught the attention of the girl in front of him . She was still trying to memorize the English words in the book under the dim light . Immediately, she raised her head and turned to look behind her .

Before she could even open her mouth, a 1*1 blue LEGO brick greeted her face!

“Owww!!!” gasped You Always Look Unhappy (#oo’) . “It hurts!!!” “Do you also share her pain?” Zhang Heng frowned . “No, I’m just adding the sound effects . I hope you’ll get a more… immersive experience . ”

Zhang Heng was speechless, “Go and open the trunk . ”

“Yes, Mr . Killer . ”

Zhang Heng had no experience killing LEGO high school girls . He looked at the motionless girl in the trunk with a (° 2°) expression . He then asked You Always Look Unhappy (#”O’), “Is… is she dead?”

“Who knows . How about stabbing her two more times?”

“Forget it… that’s it . ” Zhang Heng closed the trunk, “What now?”

“We are not far from my home . You can just say that you are my classmate… but you seem a little too mature for that . ”

You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) picked up the schoolbag that her dead another-me dropped on the ground and handed it to Zhang Heng, “Carry it on your back . Fix your hair a little . It should be messier . Studying at school is a difficult task . No one has the time to live so delicately . ”

Ten minutes later, the two came up to a dilapidated apartment . Since there no elevators were installed, they had to climb all the way up to the sixth floor, passing through white sheets and a few shirts on the way . Finally, they arrived in front of a humble-looking entrance .

You Always Look Unhappy (# O’) was talking nonstop earlier . Now, she had suddenly become quiet . She stared blankly at the brick wall in front of her, lost in thought . It was obvious she wanted to return here for a very long time but for some reason, she seemed too afraid . It was why she had coffee first after she left the train station . After that, she went to the place she lived as a child . The last place she went to was her father’s workplace, though she didn’t go in to look for him . All the cold jokes she’d been telling Zhang Heng was actually her way to suppress the nervousness in her heart .

After a while, she hesitantly stretched out her hand and knocked on the door twice .

“Who?” a voice that sounded like a middle-aged woman came from inside .

“It’s me, mom!”
