They were all dressed in rags, unkempt, and had nothing of value on them. They were lying in the shadow of the underground tunnel, and would not be discovered unless you looked carefully.

And the young man's face was finally revealed to the audience.

Many people don't even realize that this is actually Lu Zhiyao!

Because Lu Zhiyao's appearance in this movie is really different from his original image. His hair is very long, it looks like it hasn't been trimmed for a long time, and it's clumps together because of dirt.

There are two scars on his face, and his face is ferocious. One of the scars also scratched his left eye. At this time, there is only a milky white and turbid prosthetic eye in the orbit of his left eye. It is a bit like the image of ancient pirates in some movies.

.

The changes in his clothing and demeanor made him look less like himself and more like a homeless man who had just killed someone.

He rummaged around the body of the homeless man holding the knife, found a few pills, and swallowed them directly. After groping some more, he found a small but ugly stone sculpture.

This is a very ordinary stone. The material is nothing special. It is not jade or jade, nor is it any precious metal. It does not lack exquisite carving, but it is just carved into a ring.

Tie it up with a piece of string.

This ring is irregular, thick in some places and thin in others. Although it seems to have become smooth due to long-term wearing, it does not feel that it has any value from any angle.

The protagonist very skillfully retied the broken thread and brought it back to his neck, close to his chest.

Then he patted his chest and seemed a little lucky to have successfully taken back the stone.

After doing all this, he tore off a few rags, briefly bandaged the wound, and then limped toward the exit of the underground tunnel.

The camera turned and came to the underground of an abandoned food processing factory.

This place seems to have been transformed into a gathering place for underground gangs. Many vicious-looking gang members are smoking and drinking while watching cheap dance performances on the stage.

But in a room next to it, it was very quiet, and the loud music outside could only be faintly heard.

"No criminal record?"

The ferocious-looking gang brother's words were filled with surprise and contempt. He put out the burning cigar in his hand, which was modified into a bright red mechanical prosthetic eye. He raised it to illuminate Lu Zhiyao, who was standing opposite.

Lu Zhiyao didn't have much expression on his face: "It's already there, but it's just not recorded yet. I killed two people."

The gang leader looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Not bad."

…

Next, the protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao got involved with a street gang and started doing some petty theft and street trading.

Even if it is just a simple errand task, you may encounter danger at any time and narrowly escape death.

However, despite being injured many times, the protagonist survived strongly, earned a lot of money, and even modified himself with mechanical prosthetic eyes and some other prosthetic limbs.

During this process, the protagonist will take out the round stone from time to time. However, such scenes become increasingly rare.

In the movie, the origin of this stone is also explained through some memories. When the protagonist was seriously injured several times and was dying, some memory scenes flashed through his mind.

In the dark basement where he once lived with his worried mother, because of the lack of toys, his mother picked up various stones from everywhere and carved them into different toys for him.

It's just that the so-called carving is nothing more than using a low-quality carving knife to slightly shape the stone into a barely passable appearance based on the shape of the stone itself.

Then the mother will use her wild imagination to think of a bedtime story about the statue and coax him to sleep.

There are cunning and ferocious wolves, brave soldiers, aerial vehicles high above, and the sun hanging high in the sky.

It's just that the shapes of these statues are far from the images of real things. Even if the names are told in advance, it takes a very strong association ability from a specific angle to connect them together.

For the protagonist, the image of the sun is more difficult to understand than other images, because there is always a layer of white clouds in the sky. Although the sun can shine in, he has never seen what the real sun looks like.

Finally one day, the seriously ill mother handed a ring-shaped stone into the hands of the protagonist.

Then he told him that this was a good luck stone and a wealth stone. As long as he wore it, good luck and wealth would come to him.

Be a kind person and don't hurt others, so that good luck will always bless them.

A few days later, my mother passed away, and the rent collector came to the basement and roughly threw everything in it onto the street, vacating it and handing it over to the next tenant who could afford the rent.
