50. Keep fighting, even if there is no tomorrow.
Jiang Yu walked for an unknown amount of time, and didn't know where he had arrived. He only stopped when night fell.
I checked into a hotel to rest for one night, and checked out early the next morning.
After strolling around the bustling commercial street for a while, I took the card given to me by Director Sawai and bought an expensive camera.
When life is coming to an end, one no longer cares about these material possessions.
If the TPC people want to come and arrest him, then let them come. Jiang Yu doesn't mind taking a few more lives before dealing with Faust.
I bought the camera to leave something behind; I always felt empty inside if I didn't leave a trace.
Speaking of which, Mr. Onoda once said he would take him on a mission, didn't he?
However, Jiang Yu didn't have much money at the time, and he was thinking of slowly working to save up to buy one.
Now they have money, but unfortunately the people who were supposed to teach are gone.
"Snap!"
Jiang Yu casually snapped a photo in the crowd and continued walking against the flow of people.
At this time, all the office workers were rushing to the company, and Jiang Yu, who was taking his time, seemed a bit out of place.
Sometimes it's kind of sad to think about it. We don't know when monsters will appear, but we still have to go to work to make a living.
The thought of Cao Dan's world is unbearable.
Jiang Yu found a secluded square and sat down by the flower bed, admiring the snapshot he had just taken.
The images are clear and beautiful, with a humanistic feel, but unfortunately they lack any technical sophistication; it's all thanks to the camera.
The saying "you get what you pay for" is absolutely true.
Otherwise, with Jiang Yu's terrible skills, how could he possibly take such a photo?
"Young man, why are you sitting here alone, lost in thought?"
Jiang Yu heard a kind and gentle call and looked up in surprise.
She was an old woman carrying a basket of miscellaneous items; she looked energetic and kind.
"It's nothing, Mother-in-law. I just wanted to rest by myself for a while and look at the photos I just took."
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, and Jiang Yu had no reason to show a sour face to the kind old lady who suddenly offered her help. Instead, he picked up his camera and gestured to the old lady.
"Oh, I see. The photos are quite good; they look really nice."
The old woman smiled and said something, then sat down next to Jiang Yu and slowly fed the pigeons nearby.
Perhaps it was the old woman's natural charm that drew all the pigeons that had been far away to her, and they refused to leave even when there was no food.
"Young man, why haven't you found something to do? Have you run into some trouble?"
After feeding the pigeons, the old woman spoke with a smile.
She had noticed earlier that Jiang Yu looked unhappy; he must have something on his mind.
But it's understandable; young people think more and want more, and she used to be the same way.
Later, as I grew older, I gradually came to understand some things.
I'm usually alone, as if I've been abandoned by the world.
It's rare to meet a young person who's willing to talk to you, and I'm happy to offer some guidance.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little reluctant to part with it."
Some mistakes, once made, seem irreversible; the only recourse is to strive for atonement.
Because the old woman was an ordinary person, Jiang Yu didn't mention much, only sharing his feelings.
"Hehe, young man, you don't need to be like this. As long as you can correct your mistakes, that's fine."
What you can't keep, it's not necessarily a bad thing to remember.
"If I couldn't remember the people and things from my past, I probably would have left long ago."
The old woman put the basket she was holding aside, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
It's as if what's in front of me isn't a bustling skyscraper, but rather a once lively yet ordinary residential street.
Those were good times, everyone was still here...
"Mother-in-law, why do you say that? Is there no one at home to keep you company?"
Jiang Yu was somewhat surprised; the old woman's energy level didn't seem like that of someone who was alone.
"Ah, my husband passed away seven or eight years ago, and my son went to the other side of the sea. It's too difficult for him to come back. Now I'm the only old woman left at home."
Although she was talking about something sad, the old woman still had a smile on her face, as if she had long been used to it.
Sometimes, sitting down alone to reminisce about the past can be quite blissful...
"So, young man, look forward. You young people still have a long way to go."
If you're having relationship problems, go to work and earn more money. Who knows, you might meet someone even better in the future.
Jiang Yu: "..."
Goodness, it turns out this old lady thought he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
Jiang Yu was at a loss for words, but he didn't want to explain too much.
"No need, Grandma, I have more money than I can spend in this lifetime."
You could buy a house in Tokyo with that much money, but you don't know how much longer you have left to live. Wouldn't you never be able to spend all your money in this lifetime?
"Damn rich kid."
A commuter happened to pass by and muttered enviously, but he was unlucky and almost bumped into a telephone pole because he wasn't watching where he was going.
The old woman also looked at Jiang Yu with surprise, seemingly not quite understanding.
Young and not short of money, could she be a womanizer?
"Well, young man, it's good that you know what's going on. This old woman is going home now."
The old man was very quick and nimble; he picked up the basket and started walking.
"Take care, Grandma."
Jiang Yu didn't try to stop him and continued fiddling with his new camera.
Those pigeons were a bit annoying; they would scatter as soon as the old woman left, and I always thought they were some kind of plague.
Before long, a group of mischievous children arrived, and noise filled the air.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Yu left with his camera, frowning as he pondered the problem.
Office workers have to go to work, but kids don't have to go to school, so what day of the week is it today?
Unable to find an answer, Jiang Yu walked around blankly with his camera in his hand.
If Faust reappears, the Evolution Trusters will react.
Until there's a response, he can just do whatever he wants.
"what?"
Jiang Yu smiled as he looked at the old woman not far away.
A small bridge spans a flowing stream, and an elderly person on the bridge reminisces about the past—it's a truly touching scene.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yu picked up his camera and snapped three photos in quick succession.
Yes, Jiang Yu was very satisfied with the photos.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to go over and show the old man the photos, it seemed like there was a sudden commotion on the bridge.
"Hurry up!"
"We're really busy. Are you going to jump or not? Can't you just make a decision already?"
"Seriously, have you even made up your mind yet?"
A couple thought the old man was going to jump into the river, and they even urged him on. They were really clueless.
"Two anthropomorphized characters!"
Ignoring the sudden sense of familiarity, Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward.
The old man's body was a bit weak, and he couldn't withstand the shoving of those two idiots.
"Grandma, are you alright?"
Just as the old man staggered and was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Yu flashed past and caught him from behind.
"Ah, it's you, child. Thank you."
When she turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yu, the old woman's face showed some joy.
Young people these days really do have varying levels of quality, but the differences are just too great...
"Hey, who are you? Mind your own business!"
The man in the couple was annoyed when he saw Jiang Yu suddenly appear. Where did this meddlesome guy come from? They had finally found some fun.
A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes. This guy clearly didn't care about the old man's life.
When the woman in the couple saw the camera in Jiang Yu's hand, she stopped being arrogant and carefully reminded her boyfriend.
It seems like that camera is almost enough to cover the down payment on a house; it's the latest model on the market.
"What? You think you're so great just because you have money? I'm warning you, if you don't leave, I'll beat you up too."
The man did not change his attitude; Jiang Yu, this kind of rich gigolo, was the type of person he disliked the most.
Looking like that, the camera was probably a gift from some rich woman, which makes me even angrier!
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Without saying a word, Jiang Yu held the camera in his left hand and punched the man in the face with his right fist.
The man barely managed to react and tried to block the punch in terror, but he was still punched so hard that he saw stars.
The old woman realized what was happening and tried to stop Jiang Yu, because fighting was never a good thing.
The woman in the couple was so frightened that she turned and ran away, showing no concern whatsoever for her boyfriend's life or death.
Jiang Yu grabbed the man by the collar and used his strength to suspend the man outside the bridge.
"Do you like jumping into rivers? Want to try it?"
Feeling intense weightlessness, the man screamed and begged for mercy, fearing that Jiang Yu might actually throw him down if he let go.
"No, I won't do it again, please let me go!"
I'll never do it again, please, I can't swim.
"It was that bitch's idea to make the old lady jump into the river, it had nothing to do with me. I didn't think that way at first."
Thinking of his girlfriend who abandoned him, the man was clearly filled with resentment. "Damn bastard!"
Jiang Yu remained unmoved. What was the point of saying all this afterward? If he hadn't spoken up, the old woman might have collapsed to the ground.
Elderly people at this age are most vulnerable to falls; who knows what might happen?
These creatures, born the same way, can only talk with their fists. They bully the weak and fear the strong. Bah!
"Young man, please let him go. I'm fine."
The old woman was somewhat moved; it had been so many years since anyone had stood up for her. However, she also didn't want Jiang Yu to actually cause someone's death.
With today's advanced technology, police can arrest people very quickly.
"Mother-in-law, if you don't make this kind of guy suffer, he's not even human."
Jiang Yu spoke coldly, but in the end he still pulled the man back and threw him to the ground.
We should save our energy for dealing with the enemy; there's no need to waste it on such a petty scoundrel.
The man got up in a disheveled state, thanked them profusely, and fled the scene quickly, leaving only the old woman and Jiang Yu behind.
"I've seen plenty of people like this before. Usually, ignoring them is fine, but who knew these two would actually start fighting."
The old woman sighed as she picked up the basket, then invited Jiang Yu to her home.
"Young man, we've met twice already, that's quite a coincidence. How about coming to my house for a meal?"
"No need, Mother-in-law, I have some things to do."
Please keep this photo as a memento for me. I'll visit you when I have time.
Jiang Yu was tempted, but ultimately chose to refuse.
Faust could appear at any moment, and he didn't want to implicate any more people.
If I have the chance, I will definitely see him in the future, as long as he can survive.
All we can do now is fight, even if there is no tomorrow.
P.S.: The remaining 3,000 words are finished. Back to writing more!
I watched the episode today where Jun-ge got shot down by the vice-captain in a fighter jet, and it raised my blood pressure and broke my heart. If it were me, I'd have taken down the jet with a beam of light. Jun-ge is incredibly resilient!
