Ignoring these frightened little guys, Li Jiong walked to the back with surprisingly consistent steps and stopped in front of the little girl.
Li Jiong had amazing eyesight and could even see the fluff on the little girl's ears at this distance. Unlike the others, she had a little bear doll in her arms with one ear missing. The doll was already worn out and even the black stains on it were shining, but to her, it seemed like the most precious thing. She placed her hands on her chest and hugged it tightly.
Even though she was deliberately hiding her fear, the attentive Li Jiong could still see the unrest in her heart from her hugging posture.
Li Jiong seemed to enjoy this feeling. He waited, standing beside the little girl like a sculpture, motionless.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but the little girl's clothes were already wet with sweat, and Li Jiong finally said, "What's your name?"
Li Jiong's voice was steady, but the sudden question startled the little girl. She took a step back, lowered her head even more, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao?" Li Jiong felt very curious and asked.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao." The little girl replied.
Li Jiong had a blank expression on his face: "I'm looking for a puppet."
The little girl didn't speak.
Li Jiong smiled and pointed at the little girl's puppet: "A puppet like this."
Seeing Li Jiong's actions, the little girl seemed extremely panicked. She instinctively stepped back, but she was too anxious and tripped, sitting on the ground with a thump.
Lying on the ground, the little girl looked extremely flustered. She struggled to stand up, but she became increasingly distant from Li Jiong.
Li Jiong did not give up. He took a step forward and got closer to the little girl again. He looked at her, even though she did not dare to look at him.
"Three dishes and one soup every day, and even snacks on weekends. If you want a doll, I can give you a hundred or a thousand, but in exchange, I want this little bear without ears."
It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue. The other orphans, who were originally in a panic, were immediately shocked when they heard about the things Li Jiong was exchanging. Living in the end of the world, they understood the value of these things better than anyone else!
Room! Food and even snacks, not to mention dolls, even your own mom and dad will be exchanged!
Surviving in the doomsday for a long time has made them gradually become more realistic. Although they are weak and helpless now, their hearts have already fallen into confusion and darkness.
At this moment, they did not hide their jealousy and resentment, and all looked at the little girl. Their hearts felt like they were being scratched by thousands of insects. They couldn't believe it. Why, why did she have such an opportunity? !
When the little girl heard Li Jiong's exchange conditions, she was more surprised than anyone else. Holding the teddy bear tightly, she knew better than anyone how ordinary it was. She thought it was a joke or a prank.
But looking at this magnificent City Lord's Mansion and feeling the aura and oppression of the man in front of her, she had no doubt that if she nodded, she would really get what the other person said.
Three dishes and one soup? Will there be your favorite tomato scrambled eggs
Snack doll? She hasn't had a new toy in a long time.
Very good, really very good, all of this is more beautiful and precious than the little bear.
The little girl lowered her head and said in front of everyone's jealous and envious gazes: "I... I won't change."
"She said she wouldn't change. Oh my god, why didn't this good thing happen to me? Wait... She said she wouldn't change!"
"Is he a fool? There must be something wrong with his brain!"
"Are you kidding me? Or are you a moron?!"
The little girl's rejection was as powerful as a bombardment. The children, who had been oppressed by Li Jiong and kept their heads down without saying a word, became extremely manic at this moment, like mad puppies. How could they believe that she would say no
Mania, madness, disbelief and even a hint of gloating permeate this small space. If you get it and I can't, it's resentment; if you can't get it and I can't get it, it's fair.
The other children would rather see this ending than have it.
They exchanged glances, and as a reward, they felt the need to use their fists to release their praise and admiration for her foolish behavior in the dark.
The little girl lowered her head even more, and she even felt ashamed of her choice.
But she didn't say anything until then, which in disguise expressed her regret and persistence.
… … … … …
Finally, Li Jiong chose Xiaoxiao. Amidst jealousy and envy, Xiaoxiao followed Li Jiong to the courtyard.
Looking at this strange place, Xiaoxiao's eyes were dull. Although she was a God-given person, she had just awakened not long ago and her abilities were not particularly outstanding, so she did not receive much attention. Not long ago, she was crowded in a room with seven or eight people, and her treatment was no different from that of ordinary people.
She looked only eleven or twelve years old, but her actual age was fourteen. She thought she was quite cute, but that was a long, long time ago. When the doomsday came, although she was a professional, she did not receive much attention due to her low level. She sometimes even had shortages of food, let alone a bath.
Xiaoxiao knew that the world was undergoing tremendous changes, revealing countless perversions and darkness. She had seen more than once girls of her age being taken away by a group of bad guys outside the fence where she lived. She didn't know what they were going through, but it was definitely not a good thing.
Children from poor families have to grow up early.
Xiaoxiao's talent had just been awakened not long ago. In the past few days, she was like a wanderer wandering in the wild, relying on picking up garbage for a living every day.
In that dark environment, she experienced all kinds of life.
Xiaoxiao was on guard against Li Jiong, her fists clenched tightly. Even though she was trying to disguise herself, her trembling legs betrayed her current nervousness.
A good patrol member will always be alert to his surroundings, which is a good model. Moreover, the other party can still maintain his self under strong temptation, which greatly reduces the possibility of being bribed by criminals.
Plus the other party's ability...
Xiaoxiao's ability can be considered auxiliary. She is not much stronger than a person of the same age, but she has a super memory. She has the ability to remember everything she sees, which is not limited to books, but also includes the distinction between people and things.
Li Jiong had done an experiment before. He took out a stack of photos and marked names on them. Each photo was shown to the other party for no more than one second. But even so, after the end, Xiaoxiao still correctly said the person and the other party's name.
Once this ability is applied to the work of patrol officers, the benefits generated are simply unimaginably powerful!
The other party is a true genius.
A...real patrol genius!
Li Jiong's heart was filled with joy. He seemed to have foreseen the scene where, with the help of Xiaoxiao's magical ability, he would be able to capture the criminal in the shortest time and get a promotion and salary increase!
This is not just a bargain, it is a real treasure!
"Praise order!"
Li Jiong sincerely expressed his goodwill towards order. After experiencing all kinds of pain, this land allowed him to regain the initial excitement!

It’s good to have a dream. At least, it makes him feel like a human being, not an unconscious corpse!
