Just when Hua Qi was watching TV very seriously, Mr. Hua suddenly interrupted me.
"Hua Qi, go and deliver this letter to Master Li's family. As usual, hurry up."
Hua Qi stood up helplessly, looked at the clock on the wall, and slowly stood up.
"Got it! Leave it to me."
Hua Qi walked out of the wooden gate with the letter. "Master Li's house isn't far away; it's just a few blocks away. Honestly, if they have something to say, why don't they just get together and have a drink and talk?" "Why do they always ask me to deliver the letter?"
Although I don't know what the letter contains, it must be a matter of great importance to whether the pawnshop can continue to operate. It is so important that they need a letter instead of communication.
I walked on the road, looking at the familiar buildings around me. The houses were soaked by rain, the wide streets, the crowded crowds, everything was so familiar.
But recently I have had a strange feeling. I don’t know when this feeling started, but I always feel that the roads in Kowloon are shaking slightly.
It feels like there are countless ants crawling underground, which makes me feel very uneasy. Recently, there have been more Tai'a patrols, and I always feel that something big is happening.
I walked to the door unknowingly, and the intelligent AI at the door suddenly poked its little head out from behind the door handle and said with a smile.
"Excuse me, who are you? Who are you looking for?"
This stiff voice really makes me sick. Every time I come here I am scared by this broken robot. I slowly calmed down.
"My old man Hua asked me to give this letter to Lord Li. Please pass it on to him regarding this matter."
After saying that, I gave the letter to the intelligent AI and ran back quickly. The water on the road flowed into the sewer, and there were outdated things like Internet cafes on the road. Although I really wanted to continue playing, I would always be dragged home by Old Man Hua and beaten, so I had to endure it.
At this time, Hua Qi saw a boy and a girl holding windmills running past me while running, smiling very happily. They were children from two families nearby and had been childhood sweethearts. I thought, I have been alone since childhood and have no friends. It is really enviable.
Once I got to the pawnshop, the old man spoke to me in a strange tone and with eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's.
"You didn't read the letter, did you?"
I was immediately confused and looked at Mr. Hua in surprise.
"Huh? You never ask me normally, why are you suddenly suspicious of me this time?"
Mr. Hua quickly adjusted his tone, as if he had something on his mind.
"Nothing, it's just that something might happen in Kowloon recently."
I really don’t understand. I’ve lived for so many years, what could have happened?
"Kowloon is so prosperous now, what could possibly happen? Don't worry if your pawn shop goes bankrupt one day? We'll both be left with nothing."
In response to my ridicule, the old man glared at me with his eyebrows slanted, and then stopped talking. I also continued to watch TV while cleaning the entire pawnshop with a chicken feather blanket.
Within a few minutes, Lord Li came to the pawnshop with a few Tai'a. Old Man Hua's eyes lit up and he involuntarily stepped forward to greet him.
"Li Xiang is so fast?"
When Lord Li heard the name, he frowned and said with a fake smile.
"After not seeing you for a few days, you might as well not see me, old man Hua."
"It's Hua!"
Old Man Hua corrected
Sir Li interrupted with his hand turned away.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. There shouldn't be any major problems with my batch of goods!"
When Mr. Hua heard Lord Li say such words here, he suddenly felt very panicked, and the muscles on his face seemed to twitch.
"Hua Qi is still over there, why are you here suddenly?" Old man Hua looked a little surprised.
Lord Li's expression grew serious, and he looked at Elder Hua seriously.
"They're coming! The monsters that will bring the end of the world!"
Lord Li walked towards me involuntarily, as if the next words were meant for me.
"The so-called ladder they built is almost complete. Kowloon only has three ladders, and the number of spots is very limited. Now, except for Kowloon, other cities have basically fallen. The red aura in the sky is getting stronger, proving that they are getting closer and closer."
"Qu can no longer hide the truth. These monsters will reach the walls of Kowloon in a week at the latest. Since they haven't appeared on Kowloon's defense line yet, we have to prepare to retreat."
Lord Li’s words made my CPU burn out a bit. I couldn’t understand what Lord Li was saying, and my thoughts were becoming increasingly confused.
“Ah?~~”
After hearing this, Mr. Hua remained calm, looked back at the plaque of his pawnshop and spoke slowly.
"Li Xiang, you know my temper. Ever since my grandfather took over the pawnshop at the age of 19, I have treated it as my life. If you want to leave, take Hua Qi with you. He is only 17 years old. I don't want him to die with me."
Old Man Hua spoke very calmly, as if this was his fate.
Old Hua did not wait for Lord Li to answer, but turned around and waved to Tai'a, then turned around and walked towards the back room.
"Li Xiang, you talk to Hua Qi while I go load the goods." After saying that, Old Man Hua took the Tai'a into the back room.
Mr. Hua still held his head high and chest out, but his face was turned to the side, so I couldn't see his expression.
With Mr. Hua's permission, Lord Li slowly walked over and patted me, who was already stunned.
"Hua Qi, I'm going to be direct and not beat around the bush with you."
"Disaster is coming. Jiulong is very likely to be destroyed. When that happens, you must follow me up the ladder and leave here."
When Hua Qi heard the word disaster and the destruction of Kowloon, he became very panicked.
"But nothing has happened in Kowloon in the past ten years! You're telling me it's going to be destroyed now, are you kidding? What about them coming? What about the ladder to heaven? Why does the old man have to die?"
