Chapter 721 A Broken Life
Chapter 721 A Broken Life
After returning to Stone Wing, Yue Ji returned to his home in Sujing City as usual.
What was different from before was that not many people remembered his existence now. The healing effect of the Stone Wings was minimal, and Yue Ji could not feel any improvement, only the severe pain brought by the treatment.
The originally vast scenery outside had turned into a blurred black block. Yue Ji opened his mobile phone, and the message on it was so disgusting.
July 2025, 7. This year, the Internet has developed at a faster pace, not to mention the intensity of people's insults and obsessions on the Internet.
Yue Ji saw hundreds of millions of comments and insults. Those netizens who had extremely bad relations with him were not dragged into the dark realm. They insulted Nexus and were also obsessed with themselves.
At this moment, Yue Ji was a little dazed.
How good would it be if I could make everyone forget about me? If everyone only hated Nexus, then that would probably be it, but...
"It would be great to die with a clear conscience..."
The old young man sighed heavily, and on the screen, there appeared a quote about when Yue Ji would die, like a joke from hell.
Used to it...?
At one point, he almost wanted to use up his last bit of strength to make those beasts pay the price. But the next second, the exhaustion of his body overwhelmed him like a tide, and even anger became a luxury.
A person who wants to die will no longer care what people say. A person who keeps talking about death may not really want to die, but is still longing for hope.
Yue Ji is neither of the two, he just wants to know what the end of this life will be like.
When they arrived at the community, Gu Ji quickly caught up with Yue Ji. Seeing how thin he looked, Yue Ji knew that he had not eaten for a long time. After bringing him home, he prepared some food and water for the tricolor puppy.
The whole house was filled with dust and dirt, and the computer wouldn't turn on due to a problem with the memory stick.
Utility bills, messages from relatives, division of property, the world’s contempt, and the inability to buy food due to failed identity verification.
The toilet is broken, the shower head is broken, and there are poisonous insects everywhere.
The tedious little things made Yue Ji clench his fists. He leaned his hands on the edge of the sink, and he almost couldn't recognize himself in the mirror.
His unkempt hair was a little frizzy, but the ageing in his eyes was hard to describe. His body was unable to metabolize more energy, so his entire face looked so tired and old, with stubble covering his entire jaw.
But upon closer inspection, I found that it was blood residue that could not be washed off.
After changing into a dark grey split-sleeve top, Yue Ji wiped his body with a towel. The wounds, big and small, would instantly split open once touched, and clear water mixed with light red traces flowed into the sewer, like diluted life. He silently wrapped the medical bandages, layer after layer.
Gu Ji was eating leftovers on the side. It wanted to lick Yue Ji's wound, but the latter refused.
After briefly updating his status, the phone rang.
When I picked up the phone, I realized it was a very unfamiliar name.
Liu Jingqiu.
After hesitating for a moment, Yue Ji still answered the phone.
I don’t know if it’s due to the negative effects on his body, but some of his words were really hard to hear.
"Son, your 20th birthday is coming soon, right?"
Hearing this, Yue Ji was stunned for a moment.
Birthday? What?
After thinking for a while, he remembered the meaning of this thing.
"Ah... Really? What is it?"
Yue Ji was wary of his mother, who he hadn't contacted for a long time, but he had witnessed too much at the moment, so he didn't care. He didn't even bother to guess what the other party wanted.
The woman on the other end of the line didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and her tone was harshly brisk.
"I heard it. Didn't your father die? Sigh... that guy ruined our lives! Really, are you busy at home these two days? If you are not busy, why don't you stay at your mother's place for a day?"
"No..."
"Oh, it's okay. Are you still working and making money recently?"
"No, I'm just studying. What do you want to say?"
Yue Ji responded while eating tasteless compressed biscuits, looking at Wang Ye’s birthday in the circle of friends, and looking at the decoration inside the restaurant, he was a little dazed.
Thinking again of Yi Xilin's previous birthday pictures and the pictures of Ma Xiayi's past trip to Shanghai in the circle of friends, he finally reacted.
The gap between myself and normal people and young people with some money is so huge.
So big that ordinary people can’t imagine it.
If he hadn't thought about it, he would have almost forgotten what a birthday was and what the lifestyle of ordinary people is like.
On one side are all the hardships that Yue Ji has experienced, and on the other side are the different colors of normal people in reality.
On the other end of the phone was an invitation from my biological mother.
After deleting a series of people as friends, Liu Jingqiu's voice continued to be heard.
"Oh, you can just come over when the time comes. I'll book a small restaurant for you, and your grandma and aunt will come."
"Do you want to take the share money? I'll transfer it to you directly."
Yue Ji spoke without thinking, and these words made the other party silent for a long time.
"How can that be possible! I saved this to pay for your tuition."
"I'll transfer 3000 to you. If it's not enough, give it to me. I'll celebrate my birthday by myself."
"This is your 20th birthday! It doesn't matter if it's a minor birthday, but this is a big deal."
"No, my friend wants to spend the night with me, so that's it."
"Can you invite your friends over? We can just celebrate together."
"How can young people do this? There are a lot of drunk people at birthday parties. This is impossible. Besides, they don't give money. There is no point in waiting for this."
After saying that, Yue Ji hung up the phone, but the next second, another call came in.
This time, the name is different.
unknown.
After the call was connected, a vague voice was heard.
"You don't have much time left...Yue Ji."
"Is there a problem."
"If you don't want to get into any trouble, just transform into Nexus and fight me. Otherwise."
"You pick a place and time. I can do that now,"
"Hmm? Do you know what you are talking about? I am Ultra Dark Killer! As long as I extract your dark energy, I can imitate pure darkness! Then..."
"Are you someone's scapegoat? You are so stupid as to want to attract my attention. Who are you protecting behind this? But I said it doesn't matter. Do whatever you want."
After hearing this, Ultra Dark Killer was obviously a little surprised.
"You will regret what you said. There is no way you can defeat us in your current state!"
"Come on, your threat is not as great as that posed by a human."
Yue Ji was silent, looking at the message sent by Yaguchi in the mailbox.
After Zijera, he relied on his own experience to deduce the whole process. Due to the extreme evil that occurred in the Free Country, a special person took the initiative to integrate himself into the alien beast, and the threat behind him far exceeded that of ordinary enemies.
Facing the threat from Ultra Dark Killer, he simply urged the other party to hold on tight.
