[He Ao (Joey)]
[Permission Level: Normal Player]
[Physical Quality: 105(150)]
[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Hyper-memory (soul binding) (D level), Basic Firearms Proficiency (soul part)]
[Mechanical Modification: None]
[Martial arts: Essence Refining Qi Transformation (D level) (unusable)]
[Character Skill: Talent Sequence 56: Assassin]
Physical Quality increased to 150, which was somewhat beyond He Ao's expectations.
The assassin Physical Quality he killed should be around 140, which was strong in explosive power. However, the opponent should have been promoted through ordinary promotion, and there was no way to use power. Some of the power was lost during the promotion process.
And He Ao was able to grow to 150, most likely because he used martial arts practice to guide and absorb the power of Transcendental.
150 points, plus the 137 points brought by the explosion of Hyper-memory, the highest Physical Quality of He Ao can reach an astonishing 287 points. This number must have exceeded the limit of D-level, but it is not clear how far it is from C-level.
However, judging from the assassins who dare to assassinate Christos, the gap between D-class and C-class is not that huge.
Coupled with the two active Transcendental abilities of "Mental Interference" and "Stealth", He Ao should now have the confidence to compete with the C-class.
If it doesn't work, you can draw Magic Formation and ask Good Friend for help.
Ding——
The sound of the elevator arriving woke He Ao out of his reverie.
It was already afternoon. After getting familiar with the assassin's power, He Ao left Roger's clinic.
As the elevator door slowly opened, clumps of green lawns and open sunlight appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
This is the largest cemetery in Kewees District, Kewees Cemetery.
He Ao carried Suitcase along the path paved with stone slabs and passed through the tombstones.
There are lush "plants" on the roadside.
Of course, unlike the trees and green grass in Dumeier National Cemetery, the "plants" here are all "imitations" made of plastic.
The entire floor is not a ventilated open floor like Dumeier National Cemetery, but looks like an ordinary office building. Sunlight enters through the huge Floor-to-ceiling Window, and ventilation relies on a fresh air system.
Of course, is there a cemetery with the same environment as Dumeier National Cemetery?
Yes, you have to pay extra.
Dawn City's cemetery is not bought or sold, only leased. The lease starts from twenty years and can be renewed upon expiration.
If a "person" does not save enough money to renew the lease when it expires, and his children do not renew the lease for him, then his urn will be taken out by the cemetery management company.
Together with other dead people who had no money to live in the cemetery, they were dragged to the wilderness, dug a big hole and buried.
The cemetery that Joey "rents" to his parents is a double burial cemetery. This type of cemetery occupies only a slightly larger area than a single burial cemetery, but the price is 1.5 times that of a single burial cemetery.
However, there are not only dead lovers or couples in joint burial cemeteries, but also two people who have never met before. They cannot afford to "rent" a cemetery alone, so they can only choose to partner up to build a joint burial cemetery.
After all, compared to a single-person cemetery, the price of a joint burial cemetery is equivalent to a 25% discount if it is allocated to one person.
As for whether the cemetery management company is allowed to do this...
They have specially created a shopping interface for tombs on their official website, and you can get special discounts by promoting it to your friends and family.
There has even been an activity where "friends and relatives can chop into a cemetery and stay for free".
In fact, they also launched cemeteries for four people, five people, and eight people, but the market response was not good.
Because people who are willing to fight for the cemetery with so many people don't mind whether they live in the cemetery. Their ashes may be scattered somewhere in Dawn City, or they may be directly enshrined at home by their children.
However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people enshrine ashes at home.
Because in recent years, a number of supernatural movies have been released almost every year. In the movies, there is usually a character whose ashes are enshrined in his home. This character usually encounters some kind of frightening misfortune or bad luck.
In addition, there are a large number of self-media and tabloid articles that publish "popular science" about the dangers of enshrining ashes at home. For example, relatives cannot go to heaven and can only stay in the world, etc.
Well, behind these movies and media are "investments" from cemetery management companies.
He Ao stopped in front of the tombstone of Joey's parents. The names of Joey's parents were engraved on the tombstone, with a black and white photo embedded above the name.
The photo is selected from Family Photo, which was taken by a family not long ago. The parents are sitting on stools, smiling and looking forward, with expectations and yearning for the future shining in their eyes.
In this photo, there was originally Joey standing nearby, but it was cut off by the staff of the cemetery management company.
He Ao stopped and looked at the black and white photo, and slowly put down the white carnation in his hand.
Meanwhile, a bouquet of white roses was placed next to his carnations.
He Ao raised his head and looked at the girl in a white dress with a few freckles beside him.
"Long time no see," the girl looked at him with a smile, and then put her hands away with some restraint, "You have lost weight."
"Long time no see."
He Ao nodded slightly and prepared to leave with Suitcase in hand.
Jessie Looking at the thin and tall figure, he suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was so strange.
The original Joey made her feel like a warm spring breeze, bringing warmth and happiness.
But now Joey looks more like a repressed and crazy beast, full of violence and destruction.
"Joey, what are you going to do?" She looked at the back and couldn't help shouting, "Did you go to Crown District the day before yesterday?! Violence can't solve any problems, and it can't bring uncles and aunts back to life. Can you please stop doing stupid things..."
At the end of the sentence, her voice was a little crying, "Come back soon, everyone is worried about you, everything will be fine... why..."
Some cold fingertips traced the side of her face, and his broad palm gently held up her cheek.
She raised her head blankly and looked at that familiar face.
The sunlight passed through the broken hair on the young man's forehead and fell on his sickly cheeks.
"We are all humble beings."
He Ao slowly scraped away the tears that had fallen down Jessie's face with his thumb, "But we should have the right to choose to live."
Joey's family is just the most ordinary and humble family, and his parents are just the most ordinary and humble workers.
They have no wealth, no rights, they are burdened with huge debts, they have nothing, but they still live a plain and happy life.
They just want to live peacefully.
So why would anyone put their life on the table as a pawn to measure the cost?
Why should they!
Why!?
He Ao pulled his hand away from Jessie's cheek, took out a small box containing a memory chip, and slowly put it into her hand.
Then, holding Suitcase, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the cemetery.
Those cold tombstones seemed like illusory figures, stopping to stare at his lonely back.
Violence cannot solve any problem, but it can solve the problem.
When they let others die easily, they should have been prepared to face death.
