Survivorship Bias

    The man making trouble was tightly held by his wrist, it felt as if he was caught by an iron pliers, and the bones were aching. This is impossible for a human hand to have the strength!

    This person's hand must be prosthetic!

    Even if you wear ordinary clothes, just look at this face and this arm, you will definitely not be ordinary people.

    "Let go of me." The troublemaker pulled his arm, turned to the waiter who was conscientiously waiting by the side, and said, "You said to pay for the wine, what about the wine? Are you talking about it casually?!"

    The waiter immediately apologized, "I'll get it for you now." He turned around and quickly ran to the wine cabinet.

    The troublemaker turned his head and looked at An Wujiu with displeased eyes, "You still don't let go?"

    "You!" The other party was annoyed, but he had nowhere to vent, "What apology? She didn't listen to me, I paid, she should listen to me!"

    An Wujiu glanced at the girl, and saw that her arms were covered with scars, not completely bruised, so they were all new.

    "Listen to you?" An Wujiu took a step towards him, then the man took a step back, "Since you like to do things, why don't you try being beaten and scolded? She has these injuries on her body. , I can return it to you now."

    Shen Ti, who had been watching the play all the time, also interjected at this time: "This man is thin, what's the fun of it, it's better than the one last night, he's stronger, he can see the inside when he pulls his arms open. The texture of the muscles is much better than this skinny."

    The other party froze when he heard his words, and many strange images appeared in his mind.

    "What are you shaking?" Shen Ti stared at the **** in front of him with a pair of faint green pupils, and raised his eyebrows, "Don't be afraid, we are all good people, I'm just joking, you take it seriously what."

    This made him think of the strange things reported in the news recently.

    Is there really such a weird person who likes to hunt...

    "I apologize." The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but his attitude was still not very good. He turned his head perfunctorily and said "I'm sorry", and kept breaking free after finishing the matter.

    An Wu Jiu was too lazy to entangle with him, so he let go, and saw that he ran away without looking back.

    At this moment, An Wu Jiu felt a little sad, not for herself, but for the girl in front of her.

    He withdrew his hand and asked her in a very light tone, "Did he hit your hand?"

    The girl didn't nod or shake her head, just stared at An Wujiu groggyly and didn't speak. Her eyes were all out of focus, and despite her beauty, she seemed to be nothing more than a beautiful and broken piece of porcelain.

    Unable to wait for an answer, An Wujiu asked softly, "Then... what's your name?"

    The girl is still confused, it seems that it should be the sequelae caused by the "brainwashing" that the waiter said before.

    "Her name is Lilith, guest, thank you."

    The one who answered was the waiter who just went to get the wine. He had the wine in his hand, but the troublemaker had already left.

    An Wujiu whispered "You're welcome", glanced at the silent girl, nodded slightly, turned around and left with Shen Ti.

    When going out, Lucy fell asleep on the old sofa in the small cubicle by the door. Open, and it's Gabriel who comes back.

    He hugged from left to right, with an electronic cigarette in his mouth, saw their eyes widen a little, and said vaguely with cigarettes in their mouths, "Why are you leaving so early? "

    An Wujiu immediately said, “We still have some things to deal with.”

    After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took out his panel, and transferred 10,000 Saint Coin Points from his account to Gabriel.

    Gabriel was stunned for a moment, "What is this? I never charged you a penny."

    “No.” An Wujiu explained to him, “Just now, on a whim, I rescued a girl from a troublesome guest. I heard that she was bought by you, last night. newcomer."

    "Oh!" Gabriel suddenly said, "You are talking about the batch of **** couples that arrived last night, why, you want to buy her?"

    An Wujiu shook his head, “The people she has provoked are narrow-minded, after we leave, he may come back to take revenge on her, I’m afraid that today’s shot will actually hurt her, so I think… can you? If you pay a sum of money, it will be used to cover the expenses you bought her, and then... let her go."

    Gabriel understood what An Wu Jiao meant. On the one hand, he felt that he was being too kind, and on the other hand, he felt that he didn't need to do this.

    "You know what? A lot of people who eat this meal, even if you really give them the so-called freedom, they will not be able to survive if they leave these gold-selling caves."

     Of course An Wujiu understood in his heart, but he still insisted on his own way, "Give her a chance to be free at least once, even if she chooses to come back or go somewhere else, at least temporarily leave here to avoid Avoid, you can also try a new way of living.”

    Gabriel knew that he couldn't convince him, took a breath and thought for a while, and finally agreed.

    "Okay, let's do it." He sighed, "But your money is nearly 120,000 dollars, enough to buy 4 hers."

    "It doesn't matter, just look at the bid."

    "Let's do it." Gabriel returned 5,000 Saint Coin Points, leaving only 5,000, "I don't trade at a loss, I will go out as much as I get in, and the extra 2,000. Five hundred points, how about leaving her to see a doctor and treat her injuries?"

    “How do you know she is injured?” An Wujiu asked.

    Gabriel laughed, the smoke ring spit out in front of An Wujiu, and then dispersed.

    "You're so concerned, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter. I've been struggling for so many years, can't you see it?"

    An Wujiu smiled slightly, when I saw Gabriel for the first time, I just thought he was a local snake in the red light district, but after getting along a few times, I found that this person is actually good and evil, and also very intelligent .

    "Thank you."

    Gabriel patted him on the shoulder, "Thank yourself, good man."

    "Then I'll go first."

    Gabriel wanted him to pay attention to safety, but for some reason, he just felt that the person in front of him should be someone who would not fail in anything, even though the idea was absurd.

    So he just said in the end: "I will continue to investigate your mother's affairs, and come to me if you need anything."

    "Thanks."

    An Wujiu wanted to leave immediately, but suddenly thought of something, "Gabriel, you said your sister is paralyzed in bed, waiting for the prosthesis transplant in the second half of the year, has it been finalized?"

    He suddenly mentioned this matter, Gabriel felt strange, but still said: "Not yet, it is only tentative, I have entrusted many acquaintances, and former colleagues, this is the Find a way, but the spine is still an experimental product, if it is perfected to meet the market standard, my sister will have to be paralyzed in bed for many years."

    Shen Ti interjected, "So it's a clinical trial?"

    "Yes. This is the fastest way." Gabriel sighed, "Now that they are gathering clinical experimenters all over the world, I also thought of a way to replace my sister."

    However An Wujiu thinks, this project seems to be the same as the bone replacement that he experienced.

    "Is it... a metal inner spine?"

    Gabriel frowned, "How do you know? Space metal, according to my former colleagues, this is the most cutting-edge technology at present, which can minimize rejection and stabilize metabolism."

    Since it is the most cutting-edge, why has he changed it?

    An Wujiu cannot guarantee that he is the first subject, but it is also much earlier than these to be called.

    Is this a new round?

    "What's wrong?" Gabriel felt that his expression was strange, as if he had something on his mind.

    An Wujiu shook his head, he understood the significance of this clinical trial to Gabriel, the opportunity was rare, if it was successful, his sister would be able to stand up again, but An Wujiu always felt Not so simple.

     After struggling, he still said to Gabriel, "After all, it is about the spine and bones, so you should be more careful.

    "I understand," Gabriel smiled, "I have also worked with those people, I know their abilities, otherwise there would not be so many people rushing to be tried."

    An Wujiu nodded, "I know a doctor friend who specializes in prosthetics. If necessary, I can ask her for help."

    "Okay." Gabriel readily agreed, and the lady beside him urged him a little impatiently, "I know, you go first!"

    “We will also leave first.” An Wujiu nodded and said goodbye, turned around and left with Shen Ti.

    The air on the street was a little turbid and gray, An Wu Jiu approached Shen Ti and wanted to walk next to him.

    Shen Ti was more direct, grabbing An Wujiu's hand and holding it firmly.

    “Hello, be quiet.” An Wujiu said to him.

    Shen Ti smiled, "I'm looking at you."

    “Look at me?”

    "Help people, save people." There was a smile in Shen Ti's voice, "Such a good and kind person belongs to me, of course I have to appreciate it."

    An Wujiu’s heart moved, and he deliberately said, “What if I wasn’t kind at all?”

    "It's not that I haven't experienced it." Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth and added, "Such a bad guy likes me, then I'm really not an ordinary person."

    An Wujiu was amused by him, "No one can compare to you if you mess around."

    Shen Ti consciously told the truth, but he also admitted the crime and went to Yang Erci's house with An Wujiu. Halfway through, out of curiosity, Shen Ti still asked, "Did you think of your sister when you helped that Lilith?"

    Ordinary people, if they know about An Wujiu's sister, it is difficult to ask such a question at such a time. This is seen as revealing a wound.

    But for An Wujiu, the person who asked the question was Shen Ti, so he felt that he had no grudges and would not feel uncomfortable.

    "There is a reason for this." An Wujiu looked at the gray sky outside the window, the flying machine like flying insects, and his speech slowed down, "Especially when wearing a mask last night. "

    “But I saw her face today, it’s not like my sister.” An Wujiu turned to look at Shen Ti, “She looked almost the same as me when she was a child, just shorter than me A little, the corners of the eyes rise a little more."

    Shen Ti recalled the girl he met in the adult club just now, he couldn't remember her face clearly, but what was certain was that it was not like An Wujiu, otherwise he should have been impressed .

    "What's your sister's name?"

    This question made An Wujiu stunned for a moment, many unfamiliar and familiar images popped up in his mind, it was his mother who put him and his younger sister in a car when they were young , My sister's foot was burnt, she kept crying, she cried to the core, and the little one kept holding her.

    But the car didn't run for long and was hit hard by another car!

    The picture in my mind was suddenly fragmented, and they seemed to be kidnapped by someone and locked in a pure white square room.

    Then…

    An Wujiu tried hard to remember, but couldn't remember anything.

    Shen Ti found him in a daze and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but Yang Erci's apartment had already arrived.

    "Let's go down first."

    An Wu Jiu suddenly felt very cold and grabbed Shen Ti's hand.

    "What's wrong?"

    The unmanned vehicles on the street were constantly flowing, Shen Ti half-held An Wujiu to the side, his intuition as if implicated in An Wujiu started to work again, he felt flustered, yes It came from An Wujiu.

    “I…my memory seems to have recovered a little, but it is completely different from my original memory.” An Wujiu frowned, lowered his eyes, and fell into deep doubt.

    Shen Ti raised his hand and smoothed his frown, "What is it?"

    “My sister didn’t run away from home after a fight.” An Wujiu looked up at Shen Ti, “She was kidnapped, along with me, and was forcibly taken away.”

    The sloppy expression on Shen Ti's face disappeared in an instant, he took An Wujiu's hand and continued to ask, "What about after?"

    Memory is fragmented.

    An Wugui feels pain. He is obviously more tolerant of pain than anyone else, but now there is a great pain in his heart, extending to his limbs like water stains, and then the pain is getting worse, making him almost unable to breathe.

    Shards keep pouring in, slicing An innocent heart.

    The hot sun made him dizzy, and in the daytime, in the gray fog-like air, An Wugui had hallucinations.

    He saw himself supporting his sister on his thin shoulders, trying his best to send her to the ventilation duct on the ceiling. Her burnt foot was so weak that she nearly fell, and he almost cried out in fright.

    He was full of his sister's last appearance. She didn't cry and call him "brother" as before, but covered her mouth with her hands very obediently, and her eyes were full of tears.

    "I only know, I seem to..." He raised his eyes suspiciously, looked at Shen Ti, and even struggled to speak, "I seem to find a way to let her escape, but... I I stayed inside."

    Why?

    Which is the real memory.

    My sister left home because of a quarrel, it shouldn't be like this.

    Shen Ti sympathized with An Wujiu's pain, but he didn't understand why An Wujiu was so heartbroken since he escaped.

    Suddenly, he thought of something.

    "How old were you then?"

    An Wu Jiu's bloodless lips trembled a little, his eyes were confused like a child.

    "Shen Ti, she was only seven years old at that time."
