Boring

All this peace is nice and all… but… it's too peaceful!

Wake up, eat, sleep, wake up, eat, sleep-

He was too bored that he even wanted to quickly get into the main event.

Well… those were his thoughts few hours ago…

Maybe the god heard him, or its just his luck(?), he is getting kidnapped right now. Wrapped with a sack that smelled like mold…

"Boss! We got the kid!" The man grabbing him said something to someone.

The rough hands pulled the sack out of his face… then, the man said- "who is this kid?"

Haoyu could see now, three man surrounding him, one in the middle seemed to be the boss.

"Huh? Isn't this the kid you told us to kidnap?" That idiot kidnapper, scratched his head as he spoke.

"You idiot! You're supposed to kidnap the kid with the teal robe!"

Yes, teal robe, I bought that brat a new robe. Which means…

They were trying to kidnap that brat, but he got kidnapped in his place!!!! He knew that kid would bring him trouble…

"It's fine, now that I see this kid's face… once you rub off the dirt, he's pretty decent." The 'boss' told his subordinates to bring him downstairs, wherever that is… his only thoughts were: 'I look decent? The last time I saw this body's face was as a kid's face that still had baby fat stuck to it. I guess it might've changed a bit since… one year? Has passed.

Uh… maybe he'll escape first, then, take a look at his face.

(Brat's POV)

We were walking down the market, when-

"Hey weirdo, let's by that-"

Huh?… where did he…?

I glanced back, only to see that two mens were taking him in a sack, "You! Stop there!"

I tried my best. (Not like a kid's voice will reach that far)

Ha… I have to go fetch him, don't I?

(Back to Haoyu)

He did expect them to be evolved in slave trade, but not in one this big… thousands of kids, all in cages. Half were magical beasts.

Slave trade isn't that illegal, unless they're kidnapped, or they're a different race… like a half-demon, for example.

Magical beast depends on what type it is too, and… that unicorn definitely isn't legal.

Being stuck in this cage… he felt weird… panicked perhaps? No… trauma? He felt like he have been in this situation… being locked in a dark murky room thousands of times… he didn't know how to explain this feeling… 'well, I'll think later' he thought.

He used a little habit he gained from many lives he had, maybe those habits are from his original life.

With a click, the heavy chain that was holding onto the cage, fell.

The cliché thing to do in this situation is letting all of those locked inside here free… but that would be too eye-catching.

He was about to walk out when a little boy came into his view. The boy was full of bruises, starting from his head to toe. He was laying on the floor, not even able to look up. On his neck, a cheap-looking jade pendent hung by a rusty thread, about to snap.

"That jade…" his voice came out like a whisper.

That jade, the very jade that this book explained over and over.

A jade shaped like a tear drop… "fuc-"

This is the MC.

The system never complained no matter how much he changed the story… so it'll be fine, right?

(Brat's POV)

Isn't the security too lax here?

I thought this was supposed to be the biggest slave trade market or something?

[system: actually, it's the second biggest.]

Just need to sneak in, and-

"Intruder!!!!! Intruder!!!!!" A man came rushing down the corners, yelling as loud as he can.

No way… that man shouldn't have noticed me with his low level-

I just realized the man was chasing someone, that someone's eyes met mine as he ran… for a sec that our eyes met…

——

(Haoyu's POV)

"Holy shoot, Jesus Christ!!!!!!"

Haoyu screamed all the curse words he knew, as he ran away.

He knew bringing the MC with him would bring trouble!

He came across a narrow corner, but there's still patches he can run off to, so it's fine-

His eyes met with a tiny dark black eyes of a child-

"Why in the heavens are you here?!"

"That's what I should be saying!! I thought you're at least smart enough to keep quiet-"

Haoyu quickly covered that brat's mouth and dragged him to a corner. "We'll think about escape first?
