On Monday, July 14th, before dusk.
In Utopia, Saigon City.
In the slums of the North City, the Debtor Square.
..
Not long after waking up in the afternoon, JiiXi was coaxed by his father.
He was called to the slums of the North City, to undergo some kind of family secret inheritance ceremony.
Something like a millennium inheritance token, was to be passed on to him in advance.
After having a meal, JiiXi set off on his beast-bot, the Mantis Queen.
Out of his nature as a little miser, JiiXi didn't forget to make some money before leaving.
On his way, he went to the Monday Student Speech Market, and placed several bets, and also won some money.
Just after leaving the Egy Noble University, JiiXi fell asleep lying on the back of the Mantis Queen.
..
In a daze, JiiXi felt it was very noisy around him.
There was also a familiar voice calling him, and it had been calling for a long time.
When JiiXi woke up, he vaguely saw a person hanging on a wall.
When he saw clearly who it was, he was startled.
He couldn't sit steadily and directly fell off the back of the Mantis Queen.
The Mantis Queen stretched out its mechanical arms and caught him in the air.
Then it steadily put him on the grass on his feet.
..
A handsome man with long hair hanging over his shoulders was taped to a wall.
The whole person was suspended on an ancient adobe wall, just like a piece of moving art relief.
The handsome man was JiiXi's father, JiiKiiee.
JiiXi was surprised and said:
"Dad, what are you doing?
Are you bored.
And playing something exciting?"
The handsome man, JiiKiiee, pursed his lips and said:
"Look over there."
JiiXi took a look aside and his legs went weak, and he directly fell onto the grass.
..
There were several rows of ancient adobe walls beside them, seeming to carry the vicissitudes of history.
Several middle-aged men, were tied up tightly with thick ropes after being bound hand and foot.
Then they were hung on the four thick hooks on the adobe wall.
The middle-aged men, hanging on the wall, could hardly move their bodies and looked rather funny.
Just like the historical relief wall, they were telling the story of the hardships of the years.
Several other seemingly bored middle-aged men, were tied up tightly.
And then pasted onto the metal pieces on the adobe wall with dense adhesive tape.
They seemed to want to laugh but couldn't, and then they just remained silent.
..
The handsome man, JiiKiiee, explained with a wry smile:
"This is the Debtor Square, the debtors' psychological self-healing area.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
This area of the adobe wall is the wall therapy area.
Those hanging on the wall are all debtors with heavy debts.
Some rituals of primitive tribes, such as sacrifice, atonement, redemption...
Are used to relieve the psychological burdens of debtors.
Such as inferiority complex, sense of shame, sense of guilt..."
Seeing his father hanging on the wall in such a absurd and humorous way.
JiiXi couldn't help laughing and said:
"Isn't this the trick of those ancient ascetics in ancient times?
Under the gaze of everyone, they lowered their status to the bottom.
They devalued their self-image to the extreme, just like beggars.
They reduced their psychological value to the lowest point.
When they looked up again, they would find that the shame of being in debt was just a trifle."
..
The handsome man, JiiKiiee, gave a thumbs-up and said:
"The trick of the ascetics really works.
After experiencing the psychological stimulation of the ascetics and going through the spiritual baptism of the ascetics.
The little psychological humiliation of being in debt is nothing.
Just like us fishermen, after experiencing the raging winds and waves in the vast deep sea.
When facing the gentle breeze in a small pond, our state of mind is of course completely different.
Son, you are also poor.
If you have something you can't figure out in the future.
You can also hang yourself on the wall.
It's very effective."
JiiXi was suspicious and said:
"Did you coax me here just to let me see you hanging on the wall?
And then you want to coax me to hang on the wall too?"
..
The handsome man, JiiKiiee, said:
"Of course not.
Let the beast-bot take me down.
Then let the beast-bot follow me to install the house.
In the evening, when the house is installed, the secret inheritance ceremony of the Jii family's direct line will be held.
I will pass on the Jii family's ancient inheritance token.
The Oracle Bone Inscriptions on the Three-Thousand-Year-Old Turtle Shell, to you.
Even a team of eleven professional killers can't hurt a single hair of yours.
It shows that, your ability to protect yourself is extremely strong, and your life is tough enough.
In these aspects, I'm far inferior to you.
I myself am rather in danger.
So some core inheritances, will be passed on to you in advance."
JiiXi's eyes lit up and he said:
"Wow!
The thousand-year-old turtle shell, it's a cultural relic.
It should be worth a lot of money, maybe even a sky-high price.
Can I sell it when I'm poor?"
..
The handsome man, JiiKiiee, glared at him and said:
"After it's passed on to you, it's yours.
You can do whatever you want with it.
Of course you can sell it.
If you sell it, just don't use the surname Jii anymore."
JiiXi curled his lips and said, "When I'm poor, I'll sell it to save my life.
When I'm rich, I'll buy it back.
Things are dead, but people are alive."
..
The beast-bot, the Mantis Queen, has six mechanical legs and six mechanical arms.
It used its legs and arms together and soon took JiiXi's father, JiiKiiee, down.
Then the Mantis Queen followed the handsome man, JiiKiiee, and left.
JiiXi is born with a cleanliness obsession, and doesn't allow others to ride on the Mantis Queen.
Even his father, JiiKiiee, can't touch or ride on JiiXi's beast-bot.
Before leaving, the handsome man, JiiKiiee, coaxed JiiXi and said:
"There are four psychological self-healing areas, in the Debtor Square.
The other three areas, have even more exciting things.
Go and have a look around.
When the house is installed, I'll come to find you.
If you have time, come to the slums of the North City and have more fun.
Experience more about the vicissitudes of life of the lowest social group."
