C1 They Did What They Did for the Sake of Justice

Lin Xi was half-lying on the counter with his head propped up with his right hand. He was looking at the entrance of the shop with lifeless eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about. He was holding a jade pendant in his left hand and shaking it. He was so relaxed that he looked like a shopkeeper who was shaking his hand.

After the middle autumn, the Mingzhou City gradually became dark. It was only half past five and the sky had already turned dark. It was just that the weather in Ming Zhou this year was a little unusual. In previous years, it should have been cold at this time, but this year, it was even hotter and hotter.

"Rumble..."

The dull thunder suddenly exploded in the sky above Mingzhou City. Immediately, a bolt of lightning tore through half of the sky, illuminating the entire Mingzhou City as if it was daytime.

Lin Xi came back to his senses from the thunder. He stood up and hung the jade pendant around his neck. Then, he walked out of the counter and looked outside the door of the shop. He saw that the heavy rain clouds made the already darkening sky even darker.

The people on the streets also seemed to have foreseen the coming storm. They hurried through the streets, hoping to find a place to avoid the rain before the heavy rain arrived. At this moment, the vitality of this Millennium Ancient City was at its peak.

"What time is it? The weather is still so evil. It's good to take a shower in the heavy rain. " It shouldn't be hot anymore after taking a shower! "

Lin Xi turned around and walked into the shop. When he saw the few spare umbrellas on the umbrella stand at the door, he felt relieved.

He found a comfortable position on the sofa in the reception area and sat down. Lin Xi seemed to have forgotten about the rolling thunder outside and the approaching storm. His eyes drifted away, as if he was thinking about something depressing.

Today was Friday, and the day's work was about to end. He would be able to take leave tomorrow, but Lin Xi could not be happy about something that should be worth being happy about.

Because he had lost his job!

Lin Xi was twenty-three years old. He was born in a small city in North Sichuan. After his father died, it was his mother who brought him up bitterly.

Now that Lin Xi had taken part in the job, he was 1.78m tall in this society. He was not handsome, but he had good features. When he smiled, he always gave people a feeling of sunshine, kindness, and peace of mind.

However, he was never a proper person. He was smiling and smiling like an unruly hooligan, but only those who truly understood him knew how reliable he was. Therefore, his best friend always said that he had too many things on his mind. He was clearly twenty-three years old, but he was now thirty-two years old.

After graduating from university, Lin Xi, who was full of fighting spirit, had thrown himself into society. He had been looking for jobs, submitting resumes, and interviewing in the history department in university, but he had run into obstacles everywhere. Later, he had no choice but to compromise with social reality and entered a big hotel to be a small chef who started playing Lotus.

In this era, there were too many college students!

Working in a hotel... A year later, when Mr. Feng Shui, the chairman, invited Mr. Feng Shui to look at the hotel's Feng Shui, he said a few more words at the side and fired the hotel in the name of nothing. Later, he had to rely on his connections to find his current job.

When it came to the pawnshop, most people avoided it. They even treated it as a pawnshop on TV. They did some bad business of collaterals and loan sharks. They also dealt with the triads and triads of people in the society every day. They had a very bad impression when they were mixed with all kinds of people.

However, along with the development of the era, the pawnshop had long disappeared in history. In its place was the current pawnshop. It was a financial institution that funded, taobao, deposit, and many other functions. It was recognized and protected by the law. In recent years, relevant laws and regulations had been issued to restrict the business model of this industry.

Just before today, the Absolute Zone in the shop was decorated with all kinds of branded watches, diamond rings, jewelry, jade artifacts and even antiques. It was those luxury items that attracted people who pursued luxury goods and brought profits for the pawnshop.

However, at noon today, two transport trucks suddenly arrived outside the shop. The armed and loaded professional escort team sealed all the cash and luxury goods in the pawnshop and then swiftly and decisively escorted them away. They didn't even give anyone a chance to react.

Later, Lin Xi asked a few of his colleagues and found out that there had been a "scam" in the shop recently, which caused a loss of more than a million yuan in funds. The Investment Company was furious because of this, and the escorts from the bank came to keep the evidence.

After lunch, the manager gathered the staff in the shop and held an emergency meeting. The meeting only mentioned one thing, and that was that the pawnshop was going to close its business for three months. They would come back to work three months later, but they didn't have any salary for these three months.

Although it was said that they were going to close for reorganization, everyone knew that they were going to investigate the fraud. In this society, if they didn't have a salary for three months, they would probably starve to death. This was equivalent to tactfully dismissing everyone.

After the small meeting, the manager took the lead to leave the pawnshop. The rest of the people also quickly left as if they were avoiding the plague. They were afraid that they would have anything to do with the fraud. Only Lin Xi had always been alone. He didn't care about these things at all.

He was a nostalgic person. He had been working in the pawnshop for more than half a year. Even if he was about to close down and reorganize, he had to finish this last day.

Another thunder and lightning exploded in the sky above Mingzhou City, followed by the sound of raindrops and bananas. In less than a minute, it was raining heavily.

Lin Xi sighed. He walked to the door of the shop and looked at the heavy rain outside. The rain came too fast and caught him off guard. In just a short while, there was water on the street. It was like a small pond, flowing down the sewer and forming a small stream.

Under the rainstorm that had been brewing for a long time, visibility was less than 30 meters.

"I'm going to lose my job again. Where should I go to work?"

Lin Xi thought to himself. He remembered that his classmate, whom he had not seen for many years, had sent him an invitation. He said that the wedding was going to be held soon and asked Lin Xi to come. Everything had happened together.

However, he was also open-minded. Since he had lost his job, he should go to his friend's wedding first. He had been afraid that he would not be able to take leave back then. At least, he did not have to worry about taking leave anymore.

Suddenly, Lin Xi saw someone running towards him from the opposite side of the street in the heavy rain. Because the rain was too heavy, he could not see very clearly.

Lin Xi frowned as he looked at the figure walking through the rain. He looked up at the time of the shop. It was already 6: 10 pm. It was supposed to be closed by now.

Because of the heavy rain, Lin Xi hadn't left yet. However, the rule of the pawnshop was to get off work at 6: 00 pm. Didn't the person in the rain know the rules?

Or was it because of something important that he would risk the heavy rain to come here?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The urgent sound of horns rang in Lin Xi's ears. Then, a dim yellow light illuminated the entire street. Lin Xi looked up and saw a small truck speeding over from afar.

Due to the lack of visibility due to the heavy rain, the driver could only keep honking the horn to remind the pedestrians. However, there was no sign of slowing down. He did not see the person passing through the street. If his guess was correct, the big truck would definitely hit the person.

However, Lin Xi saw it. He looked at the truck speeding over, then at the person passing through the rain. He even saw that the person was an old man with a bright face.

In an instant, Lin Xi made up his mind. He couldn't leave the old man to die. He might have a chance to push the old man away. Otherwise, the old man would be hit by the truck.

"Damn it! He's already eighty years old, and he's still running around!"

Lin Xi cursed and rushed out of the door. Although the old man was only about ten meters away from him, But it was too late. He jumped and pushed the old man who was moving through the storm. The old man seemed to panic and staggered back a few steps. It was these few steps that allowed him to dodge the Death God's charge.

"Bang!"

"Zzzt! Zzzt!"

The dull sound of impact and the sound of sliding after the emergency brake sounded especially ear-piercing in the storm. The truck driver finally saw the figure on the street at the last distance. The emergency brake was stopped. However, the road was wet and slippery in the heavy rain. The truck's inertia had dragged it for more than ten meters.

The huge impact knocked Lin Xi more than ten meters away diagonally. His head was bleeding as he hit a big tree by the roadside. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth. Because the tree was full of leaves, a branch cut in front of his eyes, leaving a trail of blood. His vision turned black.

Before Lin Xi lost consciousness, a thought flashed across his mind. "I'm so f * cking unlucky today!"

The blood that flowed out of Lin Xi's mouth dripped onto the jade pendant on his chest and was washed away by the rain. After the blood dripped onto the jade pendant, the jade pendant suddenly released a dense green light from inside. However, the light was covered by the blood. Even the driver who came to check on Lin Xi's injuries in a hurry did not notice anything unusual about the jade pendant.

At the same time, the storm became even more violent. Another bolt of lightning tore through the sky. This bolt of lightning was guided into the ground by a nearby lightning rod.

However, no one noticed that a tiny bolt of lightning had actually avoided the lightning rod's guidance. It fell from the sky and entered the jade pendant. It circled around and then followed Lin Xi's blood into his body. It then entered his body along with the lightning. There was also an invisible thick green light that was attached to his blood because of its fast speed. No one noticed this magical scene.

After the lightning entered Lin Xi's body with the green light, it circulated in his body, causing his body to twitch slightly. Finally, the lightning with the green light entered Lin Xi's mind, and Lin Xi's body was no longer pulled out.

If someone were to open his eyes at this moment, they would definitely be able to see a faint green light flickering around the whites of his eyes. There seemed to be lightning jumping in the depths of his eyes, but this kind of phenomenon disappeared in just a few seconds.

A faint black mole faintly appeared between his brows. It looked like a birthmark or a tattoo that had been pressed on it. If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to see it at all.

...

"Is it dark? Hiss... why is it that my eyes are hurting so much and my head is dizzy? Why can't I open my eyes?"
