Chapter 003: The Dark System of Rongli

Rong Li placed the freshly bought buns and porridge on the table outside the courtyard: "You dropped it outside."

Yes

The little fellow waddled into the house with his short legs

Xu Tanxi stood under the lamp, her eyes reflecting a hint of floral hues, a subtle touch of spring: "I have seen him."

He is a man who appears to be very bad at first glance, yet is excessively charming

Rong Guan Guan spread open his palm: "The candy wrapper is still here."

Currently, there is no one who can make him obey commands

Rong Li has a very serious case of morning grumpiness; when he just wakes up, it is when his temper is at its worst. During his worst moments, someone is bound to have bad luck.

The next day, it was overcast, with dark clouds covering the sky and obscuring the vast expanse of blue above.

Rong Li put him down: "What happened?"

Go in and wait for me

Rong Guanguan was eating candy, sucking on a milk bottle while drinking water. His brother took a book and covered his face to sleep. Rong Guanguan yawned and, after chewing on the candy for a while, also felt drowsy.

The night has fallen, the crescent moon is half-bent, and a path of apricot yellow is laid out.

Oh. He ran over with a thump, climbed onto the table, his eyes spinning, "I know, it must be the mouse that ate it"

The girl, dressed in a qipao, stood gracefully, her brows and eyes exuding warmth: "Hello, I am looking for the shop owner"

The teammate closest to him was a man with a rather deep voice, who came over to help him: "Buddy, you fell a bit too fast there"

Cheng, with the scent of women from the pleasure quarters clinging to him, sat down beside Rong Li and said: "The woman who just went in is a hotel chef; she came to my place for dinner last night."

Fallen.

Please come and help me check the store later

Cheng pinched his brow, feeling a headache

The old lady called into the house, "Guan Guan, come out quickly, your brother has arrived"

Qin Zhao asked: "How is it?"

Keep your distance from them in the future

In the afternoon, he also brought Rongguan to the store, which was not his store but someone else's, located on the second floor across from his convenience store, where tattoos were done

Cheng let out a sound, his tone playful yet teasing: "Rong Li, oh Rong Li, I know you can't cook, but you shouldn't always be thinking about eating prison food."

Rong Li removed the book from his face, one foot still resting on the stool, beside him curled a small ball that was still asleep. He raised his eyes, those delicate almond-shaped eyes lightly gazing at the person: "Do you know what time it is"

Rong Li can poke, and he can poke in such a way that no one can figure out what he has poked.

You go in first

Understood

The light of the flashlight shone on the ground, creating a dazzling patch of white, with two shadows behind it, one long and one short

Dingling

In the dim night, a thin veil of smoke blurred the contours of a person, whose languid and contented demeanor of exhaling and inhaling smoke penetrated to the very core of his being

Teammates were left dumbfounded: "Can you even play? Your recoil control is so poor, you fired so many shots and didn't hit a single one..." The subsequent remarks were filled with profanity, cursing endlessly

To win someone's favor through their stomach

She gazed into the distance: "Just as I imagined."

"Support me," said Rong Li

In the evening, the owner of the tattoo shop returned, accompanied by a young and beautiful female customer

Rong Guan was holding candy, unwrapping the candy wrapper as he walked without paying attention to the road. Rong Li directly grabbed his hat and pulled him inside.

My grandmother. The child's bright eyes resemble washed black pearls, "Today is grandpa's birthday, and we bought a cake. Grandma wants me to go, but I refuse."

After breakfast, Rong Li left Rong Guanguan with the elderly lady next door. He rarely took care of the child himself, usually sending him to kindergarten, and on weekends, he would leave him next door, paying once a month.

Rong Guan Guan was jogging and said, "That sister just now was really beautiful." His brother remained silent, and he tilted his watermelon-shaped head, pestering his brother with the question, "Isn't she?"

It was a rather flirtatious voice to listen to. Rong Li responded with a sound of acknowledgment and hung up.

Oh, he is not a friend of Rong Li; Rong Li has no friends

My brother's face somewhat resembles the femme fatale from the TV series that Xiaozhizi watched.

His sweatshirt was pulled up by his brother, revealing a soft, pale belly, which had several bruises on it

The process and the return.

The house rented by Xu Tanxi is separated from the courtyard of the Rongli family by about 200 meters. There are no streetlights in the alley, but every household has two lanterns hanging under their eaves, providing a dim and scattered light.

Rong Li reached into his pocket for a cigarette case, suddenly struck by a craving for a smoke: "I didn't see clearly"

Brother

Rong Li flicked the ash from his cigarette and replied with two words: "Noob." He then exited the game

Alright, I am angry

Grandmother pinched him and scolded him as a little broom star, a little white-eyed wolf, and a little oil bottle.

Hmm

Rong Li made a sound of acknowledgment

The little one is not very good at lying, and their eyelashes are trembling.

Rong Li did not respond.

His name is Cheng Ji

The female guest shot him a seductive glance and swayed her waist as she entered the adjacent small room

What kind of person is Rong Li? He does not like this world and never obeys its rules. Such a person is extremely dangerous

Having finished speaking, he timidly stole a glance at his brother's face

Rong Guan is still asleep, Rong Li retracts the leg resting on the stool, opens his hand, and in a voice as faint as water, asks: "Can this thing kill someone?"

Who did it?

Immediately following was a burst of gunfire, and a few seconds later, the game interface displayed two additional corpses—Rong Li and his teammate

Rong Li feigned ignorance and went to the nearby cabinet to fetch a box of tattoo needles

Rong Li took the takeout to the kitchen

Rong Li lowered his head to drink porridge, and the phone on the table vibrated. He pressed the speakerphone button

Rong Guanguan covered her mouth and smiled foolishly: "Then let's watch together next time"

"Rong Guan Guan." Rong Li kicked the door shut with his foot, the color in his eyes as dark as the sky on that day. "Did I teach you to lie?"

Rong Li held a cigarette and said: "Hmm"

"Noob" teammate: "... ..."

The teammate has good shooting skills and took out an enemy with a sniper rifle

Rong Guan Guan is actually quite afraid of Rong Li. Although he has never been hit or scolded by him, he is still very intimidated and no longer dares to lie: "It was someone else who did it."

Come over for a meal

If he were not so quickly shot down by someone, he would be more at ease

"Brother." Rong Guanguan ran out from the main room, his hair in disarray, with one tuft sticking up to the east and another standing upright to the west. "My milk candy is missing."

Rong Li did not respond

The package was not finished being licked, and the teammates were startled, saying: "Someone."

Rong Li handed him a pack of unsealed milk candies, expressed his gratitude to Old Lady Qiu Hua, and led Rong Guan back to his own courtyard

The wind chime on the door rang, and the visitor walked slowly up the wooden stairs, neither hurried nor slow.

She leaned back and shamelessly revealed the hickey on her neck: "Who do you want to stab to death?"

Rong Li aimed steadily and fired.

Brother

I will go to lick the bag, you provide me cover

The man, with his arms crossed, walked slowly to the edge of the sofa and said, "Rong Li."

The man has a charming appearance, with a flame-shaped black tattoo behind his ear. He is wearing a jacket over a black t-shirt, and a pendant with an unknown design hangs from his chest. His hair is cut short, accentuating his well-defined features. There is a hint of a smile in his eyes, and his almond-shaped eyes are both affectionate and somewhat mischievous.

There are few people with tattoos in the small town, and the shop does not have much business. The windows are wide open, and the October sun is not harsh, casting a lazy light on the people.

At noon, Rong Li returned for a visit

Rong Guanguan has short legs and runs like a plump Corgi.

If one must define his relationship with Rong Li, it can barely be considered as "former colleagues". Unfortunately, they are also fellow townsmen, as Zhu Luan Rong Village and Shi Gang Cheng Village are not far apart.

Rong Li closed the courtyard gate, stood under the eaves, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and held it in his mouth. He took out his phone, leaned against the wall, propped one foot against the wall, and started a game.
