In the dungeon game, I influence all monsters with my strength

Chapter 97 97. Meeting the boy again
Many people left the tavern one after another, and the whole tavern suddenly became quiet. Jiang Yingbai just finished reading the newspaper and started eating.

Next to him, Lotta finished his own rice and Xia's.

He was sitting and chatting with Kasumi.

After dinner, we went back to the room, but nothing happened all night.

Originally, the three of them decided to rest in Tianhe Town for a day and set off to the next town the next afternoon, but Xia heard from the townspeople that the reason why Tianhe Town was called this was because Tianhe Town was under a very large waterfall.

Looking up, it looks like a river hanging in the sky. The waterfall flows down from a hundred-meter-high cliff, like a piece of trembling white silk hanging on the mountain.

The townspeople used all the words they had learned throughout their lives to describe the waterfall. They said it was very beautiful and spectacular, and they almost praised the waterfall to the sky.

Hearing Xia and Luota's heartbeat, Jiang Yingbai finally agreed to set off one day later after the two begged.

Jiang Yingbai was usually a very boring person. She didn't care at all about beautiful scenery, beautiful clothes, thoughtful gifts, and grand ceremonies. Those things couldn't attract her attention at all.

So she never puts in a lot of effort to do something that doesn't actually help her.

Like spending hours climbing a mountain just to catch a glimpse of the sunrise.

Of course, except for games, she is motivated by games no matter how little she cares about reality. She buys peripherals without thinking, does activities without thinking, and stays up late to watch the plot.

This is part of the reason why Jiang Yingbai didn't choose to find a place to hang out until the end of the game.

Another reason is that Jiang Yingbai is very curious about Xia's final outcome and the plot of this world when she is the most important character in the world.

……

7:30
The three of them went out to find a shop for breakfast. After eating, they went to visit the waterfall. Passing by a street intersection, they heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and a familiar humming sound nearby.

Xia and Lotta were curious and ran around to search.

Several vicious gangsters surrounded a skinny and short boy.

It rained lightly last night. The rain on the ground has not dried yet, and there is a trace of moisture in the air.

There was a large puddle under him. Because half of his body was sitting in the puddle, he was soaked all over. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were stained by dots of red and stains.

The boy's eyes were bright, his teeth were clenched, and he was not afraid of others. He quickly sat up, wrapped his arms around his knees, buried his head in his knees, and tightly hugged the cloth bag on his chest.

The gangster kicked him over, "When will the protection money you owe us be paid?"

The boy didn't move. The little gangster increased the strength of his feet. When he kicked out, he was hanging in the air and couldn't move. He cursed and tried all his strength, but his legs still couldn't move.

At this time, Xia had rushed to the entrance of the alley, and she shouted sternly, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Several people didn't take it seriously when they saw that she was a little girl. Some of them noticed that Xia was pretty and became interested in her. They walked over to talk to her with a teasing smile.

Xia felt angry when she saw that several people were not only unwilling to repent, but also wanted to attack her, but she still didn't want to hurt anyone, so she only used magic to control the bodies of a few people.

Lotta arrived out of breath at this moment. Seeing this scene, she suddenly recalled the days when she struggled to make a living in the slums.

At that time, he often encountered the same thing as the boy, firstly, he had no money, secondly, he had no power, and thirdly, he had no strength. When encountering this kind of situation, he could admit that he was unlucky and pray that the other party would be gentler or end it quickly.

Luota sympathized with each other for a second, and when he saw Xia restraining several people with magic, he rushed over angrily and gave each of them a slap.

Unfortunately, he was not tall enough, so he had to jump up to hit the gangster in the face. The scene was extremely funny.The boy was helped up by Xia, who looked at the boy's wet clothes and the red and swollen corners of his mouth with distress.

She asked several questions in succession, "Are you cold? Does it hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable having wet clothes sticking to your body? Let me take you to buy new clothes."

The boy shook his head and said nothing. He silently opened the cloth bag in his arms and reached in to check whether the newspapers inside were soaked by the dirt on the ground.

When it felt dry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he lowered his head and tried to rush out of the alley, ignoring the person calling him from behind, and bumped into Jiang Yingbai who just came in.

When he realized it was Jiang Yingbai, his expression changed drastically, and his heart was boiling like water in a boiling pot. He couldn't describe what he felt. He lowered his head again, and all he wanted to do was leave this place quickly.

Jiang Yingbai saw some clues from the expression that flashed across his face. She took his hand and stopped him from leaving.

The boy was no stronger than Jiang Yingbai. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only let the other party grab his hand.

After half an hour.

Jiang Yingbai brought a glass of water to the boy. The boy lowered his head and sat silently on the bench in the living room. Xia was wiping his newly washed hair with a towel.

The door was pushed open from the outside. Lotta was holding some hot bread in her hand and placed the bread on the table in front of the boy. Lotta sat on the far left side of the bench.

Jiang Yingbai sat down across the table, "Why did you see me just now and look like you've seen a ghost?"

The boy finally spoke, with a look of fear on his face and a hint of happiness, "Because you suddenly appeared in front and scared me. I thought you were an accomplice of those people."

But Jiang Yingbai didn't fall for his trick. She had already asked Xia about the situation in the alley at that time.

"You were beaten by several people before, and your expression didn't change. How could it change at that time?"

In the past few minutes, the boy came up with several excuses, but Jiang Yingbai rejected them all. Not only did he not explain clearly, but he only increased his suspicion.

Until the end, he couldn't make it up anymore and explained the reason.

The boy's name is Kaji, and he has just turned 10. His family's property was defrauded when he was a child, and Kaji's parents couldn't bear to commit suicide together.

Other relatives refused to support him and only gave him some money to go away and live independently.

Alone, Kaji began to think of ways to survive in this cruel and ruthless society.

Because of his young age, no one wanted to take him on, so he could only make a living by reselling newspapers.

Kaji's younger brother was an abandoned child. Kaji saw that he was very young and didn't understand anything. It was only a matter of time before he died on the street. It was very pitiful, so Kaji picked him up.

The two of them regarded each other as brothers and depended on each other for life. They lived a very hard life, often only eating one meal a day and not having enough to eat.

Listening to Kaji's extremely sad past, Xia burst into tears. She couldn't imagine that there were such miserable people in the world. She quickly asked Lotta to give Kaji money.

Kaji resisted the tears and stubbornly confiscated the money handed over by Lotta, "How can I accept your money in vain? Your money is hard-earned, I can't take it."

Jiang Yingbai ruined this touching scene without any discernment.

Her calm face was not moved by Kaji's story at all. She tapped her finger on the table, "Please don't say these irrelevant words. I just want to know why you had such a big reaction when you saw me."

　I want to put it on the shelves in chapter 100, but I can barely do it with perfect attendance.
