Chapter 270: Inhuman (78) (1st update + 2nd update + 7400 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
The injuries of Xiao Huo's four teammates were not serious. Most of them just looked scary, but they were not actually injured in vital areas.
The sounds of fighting on the central street outside gradually faded away, and everyone supported the four teammates and walked step by step towards their gathering place.
Dita and her friends originally lived in the hotel. She was very familiar with this route. According to her usual personality, Dita should have explained to them about the various violent cities along the way.
But Dita kept her head down along the way, and no one knew what she was thinking about. Guan Hongyan deliberately went to her and asked her a few questions, but Dita's answers were quite absent-minded, and it could be seen that she was thinking about other things.
Yuan Shanming was thinking as he walked: "The street scene in this fantasy is very similar to the one I saw when I came to the capital of violence."
"Brother Yuan, when did you come to the City of Violence?" the yellow-haired man turned around and asked.
"A few decades ago..." Yuan Shanming touched his chin. "The changes in the Violent Metropolis are quite rapid. This period of time was probably around 20 years ago."
"Hmm..." Xiao Tang frowned slightly, "Then this timeline probably can't be after the Front Street Gang disappeared..."
According to Yuan Shanming, Dai Quan appeared in the City of Violence between seventeen and twenty years ago. If this was at least twenty years ago, and Lu Yun had never heard of the existence of such a gang with extremely obvious characteristics in Purple Street, then it can only mean that this time period was before the appearance of the Front Street gang.
"I just don't know...how long ago was it?" Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and continued.
The gang on the front street did not exist from the beginning. The turning point of everything came when Dai Quan took in a pregnant newcomer, who then died and left behind a child. Before that, Lao Guan, the tall and thin man, and that group of thugs had never established a gang.
"Oh... I don't want to think about this anymore. It's really taxing on my brain." Xiao Tang shook his hair. "I'm going to go play with Lu Yun!"
She jumped to the front of the team and pulled Lu Yun's hair. "Hey, your hair is almost grassy. If you want to pretend to be a boy, why not shave it or get a male haircut and dye it?"
Lu Yun turned around and glared at her fiercely: "No."
"Why?" Xiao Tang tilted his head. "I have a lot of experience in this. Believe me. When a woman dresses up as a man, she should be open and aboveboard. The nutrition in your Purple Street is not that good. You haven't finished growing yet, and your secondary sexual characteristics haven't developed. If you cut your hair short, no one will suspect that you are a girl. It's much more low-key than you wearing a haircut every day."
"Who told you that I'm not an adult?" Lu Yun gritted his teeth this time, "I'll be eighteen next year!"
Xiao Tang: “Ah?”
She was horrified.
She was almost doubting her life because of her two consecutive misjudgments.
Before, everyone had always treated Lu Yun as a boy. Lu Yun was not tall and had a small frame, so she always thought that he was a minor and treated him like a child.
Now, when she was suddenly told that Lu Yun would be eighteen next year, Xiao Tang began to doubt her life for a moment.
"You..." She looked at Lu Yun's height in disbelief and gestured.
"What's wrong with being short?" Lu Yun looked up at her, perhaps because they had known each other for so long that he didn't turn his face away, but his tone was not very good. "There's not enough food in Purple Street..."
Bai Jinshu guessed that she wanted to say, "We can't even get enough food in Purple Street, how can we possibly take in enough nutrition to grow taller?" But halfway through the words, Lu Yun suddenly remembered that a few minutes ago she had said angrily to the newcomer Xiao Huo that she was not born in Purple Street.
For a moment, she was caught in a dilemma and stuttered a few words. Finally, she glanced at Xiao Huo and gritted her teeth and said, "There's not enough food in Purple Street... I, but I'm not from Purple Street. Is it okay to be short?"
Xiao Tang: “…Pfft.”
Lu Yun really had to swallow his anger.
"Of course, that's fine," said the 1.70-meter-tall Little Tang, nodding under Lu Yun's murderous gaze. "After all, humans can't choose their own genes."
She nodded seriously, almost believing it herself.
"By the way, sister," she winked at Xiao Huo, "haven't you arrived at your settlement yet?"
"Ah... We're almost there, almost there." Xiao Huo looked around and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well... I'm not very familiar with the road either. Our team leader is not here, so we should be able to get there by walking down here. Anyway, it must be this direction?"
"Go to the right." Dita suddenly said. "The hotel is in front, but there is a shortcut on the right. If you go from the front, you will take a detour."
"Oh, so that's it," Xiao Huo said without any suspicion, "It turns out that only locals are familiar with the road..."
Although the triggerers are also newcomers in the City of Violence, after staying in Purple Street for a long time, they have inevitably been assimilated by the people of Purple Street, so it is not surprising that they are recognized as locals.
After pointing the way, Dita returned to her silent self, but she would twist her hands hanging by her side from time to time, indicating that she was not at peace inside.
Following the path pointed by Dita, everyone soon arrived in front of the hotel.
As a long-standing settlement in the city of violence, the abandoned hotel has not changed much and is exactly the same as the hotel they stayed in before triggering the nightmare.
However, compared with hotels built ten or even dozens of years later, hotels in this period seemed to have not yet welcomed the destined electrician. Without the wires pulled from the street lamps, there was no electricity in the hotel, and naturally there were no elevators.
Everyone groped their way up to the dozenth floor through the fire escape in the dark, and everyone was exhausted and out of breath.
"Just put them in the room," Xiao Huo's physical fitness was pretty good, but she was a little out of breath after climbing more than ten floors. She pushed open a few doors and looked around. "Is there a brother? Is there a brother?"
"He's downstairs! He just went downstairs!" Someone from another team responded from a room. "Brother You just told us to tell you that if you come back, go downstairs and find him."
"Ah? If I had known, I would have gone directly to the banquet hall. How long has Brother been down there?"
"About ten minutes. Didn't my brother cook lunch today?"
"Thanks." Xiao Huo thanked the room and looked at everyone, "Brother You is going downstairs, why don't we leave these here first and maybe go to the banquet hall."
"Banquet hall?" Lu Yun was out of breath, his vision darkening, "We still have to climb stairs?"
She never thought that these new people would have to climb so many stairs to live.
"Uh... the banquet hall is on the fourth or fifth floor downstairs," Xiao Huo said awkwardly, "Why don't you take a rest first! Sit in the room for a while before leaving. Anyway, I've only been downstairs for more than ten minutes, so it's still early for dinner."
"Where are your other teammates?" Dita asked.
"The other teammates are not in the room, so they are probably downstairs..." Before Xiao Huo finished speaking, he saw Dita heading towards the fire escape. "Hey, you're going..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Guan Hongyan stepped forward flexibly to block Xiao Huo, "She's quite hungry, so she'll go down first. Let's rest here for a while. My legs are so sore that I can't walk anymore."
Dita probably went straight to find the square-faced man.
She winked at everyone, and Bai Jinshu immediately said, "I'll come too."
Huang Mao wailed quickly, "Hey, I'm hungry too. Er Ge, let's go together. How about you guys take a rest first, and Er Ge and I will go down together."
After so many days of hunger attacks, everyone is really good at pretending to be hungry.
The yellow-haired man rushed towards the stairwell, and Bai Jinshu followed him downstairs.
Xiao Huo's strange voice could be heard faintly from upstairs: "Ah, so hungry... Then why don't we go downstairs now?"
"Let's send these wounded to their rooms first..." Guan Hongyan's voice came, "I'm dizzy after climbing these ten floors."
"Ah, that's fine..." Xiao Huo obviously didn't suspect anything. "I'll take care of the injured first. I'll go down and tell Brother You that someone is injured later."
The sound gradually faded away.
Huang Mao went downstairs while asking humbly: "Er Ge, what do you want to ask?"
"You don't know?" Bai Jinshu looked at him in confusion in the dark, "You don't know why you followed me here?"
He thought that Huangmao had been instructed by Xiao Tang to follow him down to see what the square-faced man was doing.
So he doesn't know?
"I know a little bit," Huang Mao said awkwardly, "It's the city guard team from before. Now everyone suspects that the city guard team is the newcomer in the City of Violence, so Sister Tazi wants to investigate this."
Isn't he very clear about this?
"But will this work?" The yellow-haired man said in a confused voice. "The illusion we are in now is Lu Yun's, and the square-faced man is also formed by Lu Yun's cognition. If Lu Yun doesn't know, even if the real square-faced man knows, he won't know in this illusion."
This was a very roundabout way of speaking, but Bai Jinshu understood it.
What Huangmao meant was that the information they had now could only be known by Lu Yun, and they had no way of knowing what Lu Yun didn't know.
"So now we can only gamble on a possibility," he shrugged, looking at the emergency exit of the banquet hall below, "and bet that Lu Yun knows the inside story of that square-faced guy becoming a city guard."
But to be honest.
He felt there was little hope.
On the one hand, it is Lu Yun’s identity.
Who is Lu Yun? He is a Purple Street resident who still lives in Purple Street after more than 20 years. There is a wall between him and the newcomers in the City of Violence and the City Guard. If the policeman Xiao Huo had not caught her stealing last time and kindly gave her a handful of money, then the biggest contact between her and these newcomers might be that she has stolen their money countless times.
That's all.
It is possible to learn about the Purple Street and Front Street gangs from her, since she is from Purple Street herself, but it is not practical to get information about the City Guard from her.
Master Zhan, an old citizen who has lived in the city of violence for more than 40 years, didn't know what it was, let alone Lu Yun.
On the other hand, it was the channel through which they learned that something was wrong with the square-faced man.
It was only when they faced the City Guard in another person's illusion that they realized that the square-faced man was a member of the guard.
And if Lu Yun had ever come into contact with the square-faced man who was a member of the City Guard, she would not have been able to survive for decades, because the City Guard would kill anyone who could not be confirmed as a teammate.
It was purely accidental that they saw this square-faced man in Lu Yun's illusion, with the probability of a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
Dita was probably looking for someone, or wanted to investigate something in the City of Violence. What she wanted to investigate might be related to the sudden disappearance of a newcomer, so she was simply shocked by the information that the "newcomer and the city guard member" had the same face, and temporarily put aside all these logics.
And the result was just as Bai Jinshu expected.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they saw Dita, who looked a little absent-minded.
"He knows nothing," Dita raised her head and shook her head at them. "That square-faced guy... is just an ordinary newcomer to the City of Violence."
It's to be expected.
Bai Jinshu nodded slightly: "Doesn't he know anything about the City Guard?"
"I don't know," Dita sighed softly, "He doesn't know as much about the Guard as we do."
There is nothing we can do about it.
"I suspect..." Dita paused, "I suspect there is something wrong with this person."
She raised her head and looked in the direction of Bai Jinshu: "It's just that because this is Lu Yun's illusion, he doesn't know."
"But you can't prove it," Bai Jinshu shrugged. "This is more than 20 years ago. When we get out, you won't be able to contact this person at all."
"There is still a way..." Dita thought, "I asked his name."
"I know someone outside the investment bank," she bit her lower lip, "If he's still alive, I can ask someone to contact him."
This was beyond Bai Jinshu's expectations.
He looked up in surprise: "You can contact other employees in the investment bank with just a name?"
Who does Dita know?
Even in the foundation, high-end team members cannot guarantee that they can find the corresponding team member just by a name.
"Not necessarily," Dita was stunned for a moment, then realized her mistake and vaguely said, "It's just possible. You also said that this was more than 20 years ago. It's better to have hope than nothing."
She looked back and changed the subject: "Hey, they're coming down."
The triggermen had already walked out of the fire escape behind him.
Originally, everyone followed Xiao Huo to the hotel just to inquire about the square-faced man. Now that Dita hadn't gotten anything out of him, they naturally had nothing else to do.
Yuan Shanming was walking in front of the group, looking a little unnatural. Huang Mao was very observant and quickly approached him: "What's wrong, Brother Yuan?"
"Nothing..." Yuan Shanming twitched his lips, "I just didn't expect..."
What didn't you expect?
Huangmao raised his head curiously, and heard a strange but familiar voice coming from the fire escape: "This... do you really have to wear it like this?"
"Hey, hey, don't take it off, it looks good!" Xiao Huo's voice was very lively, "Just like this, it's good!"
"Really?" The voice was filled with uncertainty and doubt.
"Really?" Xiao Tang said as he walked out of the fire escape. "Lu Yun, you look pretty good this way."
Following her voice, a girl in a light green jacket walked out awkwardly.
This outfit is very popular among young women in the city of violence. It consists of a vest and fitted pants with a small jacket that reaches the waist. It takes both movement and appearance into consideration, covering several vital parts of the body. The sleeves and trouser legs that affect movement are cut very short and have Velcro to close the cuffs.
Huangmao didn't recognize that the man was Lu Yun at first glance.
During these few dozen minutes, Xiao Huo seemed to have used some kind of magic to tidy up Lu Yun's messy hair, making it flow smoothly on his back, revealing a surprisingly thin face.
Only then did he realize that Lu Yun's hair was indeed longer than normal. Without the tangles and dust, in order to completely cover her face, her hair had grown to at least her knees. Her hair was yellow in color, and it was obvious that she was malnourished.
She had probably been hanging out in Purple Street for too long, and her daily approach was to wrap herself up like a homeless person to conceal her gender. She rarely wore clothes that exposed a lot of skin, so she looked quite uncomfortable now.
"Xiao... Xiao Tang," she pulled Xiao Tang with some hesitation, "I feel that this dress is not very good."
"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Tang, holding a lollipop he got from somewhere, looked her up and down. "Don't you often see people wearing this on the street?"
This outfit is still very popular even after ten years.
"It's inconvenient... In a fight, these straps are redundant," Lu Yun pulled the hem of his coat awkwardly, "It's easy to hit the skin, and the pockets are on the back, so it's easy for money to be stolen. When you smash a store, you'll get scratched by flying glass shards. It doesn't keep you warm, and it's easy to get scratched if you wear this to sleep at night..."
She was a little embarrassed at first, but as she spoke, she seemed to have entered her field and her voice gradually became serious: "Also, this kind of fabric is not wear-resistant and is very easy to be damaged. The color is not stain-resistant enough..."
"Alright, alright, alright," Xiao Tang twitched his lips, "Just think of this as satisfying Xiao Huo's addiction to dressing up..."
Just now, everyone was just going to take a break and then go downstairs, but Xiao Huo suddenly had an idea and said that Lu Yun's clothes looked starched, so why not change them. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to go to the restaurant like this.
Lu Yun was a child who grew up in Zi Street. She had always accepted such good things that came her way. Her own clothes might have been picked up from the garbage dump, so she naturally did not feel uncomfortable.
"Then you can take a shower and change your clothes," Xiao Huo touched his chin, "otherwise your clean clothes will get dirty..."
There is nothing wrong with this.
Lu Yun thought about it. In order to pretend to be a boy, she didn't take a shower very often. She usually waited for a rainy day when she couldn't stand it anymore. She wiped her limbs and face in the rain, and then quickly covered it with her hair. She also needed to avoid people during this process, because there were many people in Zijie who could only take a shower when it rained heavily. They would call their friends to take off their upper bodies together.
Lu Yun definitely wouldn't dare to go to such an occasion.
She usually waits until the rain is about to stop and everyone has left, then finds a secluded place to wipe her limbs.
Now that someone has provided a separate environment for washing and brushing your teeth, it would be a waste not to use it.
Who knew that as soon as Lu Yun came out of the hotel bathroom, Xiao Huo, who was waiting for her outside, started crying.
"Hehehe, so cute!" Xiao Huo pinched her face with a strange smile, picked up a hair dryer from the side, and wanted to help her blow dry her hair, "Wait, I'll find you some clothes later!"
Lu Yun's appearance is actually not cute at all.
If a person is in an environment of hunger for a long time, he will most likely become pale and thin, but the difference between Lu Yun before and after was too great. When Xiao Huo screamed, Guan Hongyan and Xiao Tang were also shocked.
"It feels like..." Guan Hongyan complained in a low voice, "We have suddenly entered a civilized society from prehistoric society..."
No one noticed it before, but now that Lu Yun had finished washing up, her previous appearance became unbearable to look at.
There weren't many people in the entire Purple Street who looked more miserable than she did.
"If I saw her like this for the first time, I would never make a mistake..." Xiao Tang said silently.
Xiao Huo is much taller than her, and although Lu Yun can wear her clothes, they are definitely too big for him.
In order to find something that Lu Yun could wear, she searched for a long time and tried on many pieces. Finally, she found that the cuffs and trouser legs of this outfit had Velcro, and she finally managed to put it on.
For Lu Yun, this one was still too big, but it was much better than what she had before.
As for shoes, there was nothing to be done. Lu Yun was still wearing the pair of sneakers that he had probably picked up from a garbage dump.
It was almost lunchtime and there were not many people in the banquet hall, but it was quite noisy. A few people had already started bringing out dishes from the kitchen. Everyone was chatting and eating, and no one noticed Lu Yun's somewhat strange outfit.
As soon as Xiao Huo arrived at the banquet hall, he ran excitedly to the kitchen: "There is meat today, I'll make some for you!"
"Yes, brother! Yes, brother!" Her voice was so loud that Bai Jinshu and the others could hear it, "I brought a few friends to eat with me today."
"A few others suffered minor injuries, but nothing serious."
"Let's find a place to sit first." Yuan Shanming looked around, "It seems that this place is no different from twenty years ago."
Everyone was sitting at the tables in groups of three or four. Probably because it was noon, many teams had not returned, and there were many empty seats in the banquet hall.
Lu Yun struggled with the overalls and the decorative straps on the overalls jacket all the way. After everyone sat down, he looked at Xiao Tang seriously and said, "I know what this is for."
"What's it for?" Xiao Tang was puzzled. "Isn't this just a decorative ribbon? What else can it be used for?"
"You can pull it off at a critical moment," Lu Yun pulled off a decorative strap and gestured, "and use it as an emergency bandage."
"...Don't let Xiao Huo see it." Xiao Tang silently stuffed the tragic strap into Lu Yun's coat pocket and pushed it in. "It's not easy to get a piece of clothing for free."
"Of course I know it's not easy," Lu Yun nodded, "so I didn't say it in front of her."
Xiao Tang: "...You are quite polite."
Xiao Huo went to the kitchen and soon brought back a few dishes. What You Ge made were just simple stir-fried dishes, but for Lu Yun, it was good enough to be able to eat enough.
Everyone was used to Lu Yun eating a full meal and the whole family was not hungry. After watching her devour the food for a long time, Xiao Huo asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to eat? Didn't you say you were hungry just now... I asked Brother You and he said you didn't go to the kitchen either..."
"Oh, eat, eat!" Xiao Tang quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the rice in the bowl. "I guess they didn't find where the kitchen is just now?"
Yuan Shanming cast an inquiring glance at Bai Jinshu, receiving a look that said "I'll tell you later" and a slight shake of his head, and then he quickly looked away with understanding.
Most likely Dita didn't get any information.
Dita, who had been in a daze for several days, has now returned to normal, and it is impossible to tell what she is thinking now.
"By the way, I heard from Xiao Huo that you guys helped her get the other teammates back. Thank you." A brother even came out with a pot to thank them. "I'll treat you guys to a meal after I finish leading this team."
Most citizens in the city of violence neither accept nor reject newcomers, but rather have a nonchalant attitude towards them. Very few will take the initiative to help newcomers.
As the team leader who lives here permanently, he is considered half a native of the City of Violence. He is within the range of recognition of these people. I don’t know if it is out of courtesy or sincerity, but he is very comfortable making plans for dinner.
Lu Yun kept his head down while eating. Yuan Shanming looked up and talked to You Ge for a few words. After dealing with him, he shook his head slightly at everyone.
He doesn't know this "Brother You".
It's easy to imagine that this time it's impossible that everyone would be caught by him like Dai Quan.
You Ge probably didn't recognize Lu Yun as the thief caught by Xiao Huo a few days ago. She was dressed like an ordinary citizen in B City, without the messy hair. She raised her face several times while she was eating, but it didn't attract his attention.
After lunch, many teams left the banquet hall and prepared to go to the next ghost story location. Xiao Huo also asked Brother You for some money and stuffed it into Lu Yun's hand: "Thank you for today, bye!"
"Oh, wait a minute," she said, as if she suddenly remembered something, "I just borrowed a rubber band from another team. Your hair is so long, you can tie it up."
Xiao Huo took off a black rubber band from his wrist and motioned Lu Yun to do it himself.
Lu Yun fumbled with his hair and made his braids messy.
"...Forget it," Xiao Huo held his forehead with his hand, "Let me do it."
"Hey..." She squatted down and was stunned for a moment, "Why is there a broken bandage on this arm?"
Lu Yun was stunned.
"When did it break...I'd like to replace it for you." Xiao Huo touched the broken part thoughtfully.
She leaned in front of Lu Yun. Her eyelashes were incredibly long and you could see a small mole at the root of her eyelashes above her eyelid.
For some unknown reason, Lu Yun touched the mole.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Huo touched his eyes curiously, "Is there something?"
"It's covered in dust." Lu Yun remained calm.
"Oh, thank you. I'll re-tie your hair for you."
With this interruption, Xiao Huo quickly forgot about the matter of the bandages.
She bent down and helped Lu Yun tidy up her messy hair, patiently combed the ends of her hair that were tangled into a ball, and tied it into a high ponytail again.
"Dangdang, that's it!" She stood up with satisfaction, "Bye~"
Xiao Huo went back to the hotel excitedly.
It was as if she had just done a good thing on a whim and quickly forgot about it.
Lu Yun watched Xiao Huo leave and silently counted the money in his hand: "One thousand."
"She gave me fifty too much?" The yellow-haired man looked up, "Well, should we stop her and give her back the money?"
"No," Lu Yun said quickly, "Once it's in my hands, it's mine!"
Huangmao: ...
This is really this kid's style.
"I'm going to finish work early today," she stuffed a thousand yuan into her pocket, walked a few steps, and perhaps felt uneasy, so she stopped and stuffed the money into Xiao Tang's hand, "You take it, my clothes are easy to be stolen."
Perhaps because of the mutual respect between colleagues, Lu Yun was very aware of the shortcomings of this kind of clothes, that is, each pocket was not close enough to the body, and each pocket was easy to attract pickpockets.
She walked a few blocks and couldn't stand wearing such clothes anymore, so she took off the work jacket and held it in her hand, wearing only the black vest underneath.
Looking from the back, one could see her shoulder blades, which were so thin that they seemed to be flying off, and her unusually clear shoulder contours between her shaking hair.
After taking off the clothes full of holes, Lu Yun, or everyone in Purple Street, was no different from the citizens of the City of Violence except that they were incredibly thin.
The protection money for a long period of time was guaranteed, and everyone walked slowly along the road. Just when they were about to reach Zi Street, Lu Yun, who was walking in front, was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Hey, beautiful lady," a young man dressed in elegant clothes waved at her and ran over in a friendly manner, "Can I ask for directions?"
"...Me?" Lu Yun was stunned.
"Yes, yes, it's you. You look like a local," the young man said in a friendly tone. "I want to ask where your Capital of Violence is?"
He was pointing at Purple Street in the distance.
Lu Yun looked up at him strangely and said, "Why are you asking this? Your things were stolen, and you followed the thief all the way here?"
Otherwise she really couldn't understand what a well-dressed person wanted to do by asking about the slums.
"Not really..." The young man touched his nose with an embarrassed look on his face, "It's just... I made a bet with my friend, can't I tell you about this? If you can't tell me, I won't ask."
Not far behind him stood a man dressed in the same stylish manner as him, probably the friend he was talking about.
What is this?
Two rich guys using the slums for fun?
"Okay," Lu Yun said calmly, "Fifty questions for one question."
Normally, she would ignore such people's conversations, and they would probably not talk to her either. Today, it was probably because of her new clothes.
I thought this guy would be able to tell from her refusal, but the young man's eyes lit up: "Oh, why didn't you say so earlier!"
"Here," he stuffed a hundred dollars into Lu Yun's hand, "What kind of place is that, beauty? Can you tell me about this?"
Lu Yun looked at the money in his hand, and a very concrete look of doubt appeared on his face.
Did she have some good luck today? Did she run into two wealthy people with lots of money?
"Purple Street." Finally, under the young man's expectant eyes, she said silently, "The place you are pointing to is Purple Street."
"What is Purple Street..." The man looked over there curiously.
"These are two questions, but since you gave me a hundred, I can answer the second time. Purple Street is the slums," Lu Yun said in a light tone, "where the poor live, a place you will never go in your life."
"Add another hundred," just then his friend next to him said, "What is it like in the slums?"
"What else can a slum be like..." Lu Yun was almost speechless at this inexplicable question. She sneered, "Do you think it's fun to ask these questions? In a slum, people die every day, and undead appear every night. People are insecure from day to day, hungry or full, and every day could be the last day."
"One hundred dollars," she stretched out her hand to the young man, and after he handed her a hundred dollars, she looked up again, "Any more questions?"
The young man was embarrassed by her stare: "No...no more."
He poked his friend awkwardly: "Hang Yiqing, do you know how to speak? You've made me unhappy."
Lu Yun ignored the conversation behind him and walked forward after getting a reply.
The young man's friend behind him hummed thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Okay, then I'll live here."
"Look, I told you B isn't a good choice. Why don't you choose B..." The young man kept on talking, and suddenly realized what he was saying when he was halfway through. "Huh?"
"Hang Yiqing, are you sick?" He widened his eyes. "You don't even want to stay in W District. You come to a shabby place like B City, and you want to live in a slum? Do you have nothing to do after you've eaten your fill?"
He must have eaten his fill and had nothing to do.
Lu Yun, who was walking in front, curled his lips in disdain.
She didn't look back.
If she turned around, she would see that all of her "family members" who lived with her were standing still with shocked expressions.
A tall and thin man.
The guy who asked for directions for a hundred dollars was a rich fool. The "Hang Yiqing" he called was the tall and thin man.
This timeline actually happened to be when he came to Purple Street.
Lu Yun actually met him once.
"Are you kidding? You can't?" The conversation continued, and the young man's expression was exaggerated. "What do you want? Even if you want to live in the slums, you shouldn't ask a little girl like this. What does she know about slums? She must have been taught by her family. There are tigers in the slums and you must not touch them. These are scare words for children..."
Tall and thin... No, Hang Yiqing stood next to his friend and smiled meaningfully: "A great hermit hides in the city."
"Besides," he said delicately, "how do you know she's not from the slums?"
"Ah?" The young man was stunned for a moment and muttered softly, "I don't think so..."
Hang Yiqing glanced at him with a playful look in his eyes, a familiar look that everyone had often seen in the previous illusion: "Of course I know where she is from..."
"Anything else?" He kicked the young man rudely, "If not, get out of here and don't follow me."
"Hey, you are so kind but you don't know what's going on..." said the young man dissatisfiedly.
The figures of the two gradually became illusory, probably because Lu Yun, the creator of the illusion, did not hear the subsequent conversation.
The triggerers next to them had different expressions.
"Tall and thin... bah, Hang Yiqing, the name is quite unique, he is definitely not from Purple Street." Xiao Tang muttered.
According to his friends, he is from District W?
"Rich people in District W?" Bai Jinshu guessed.
"W Zone..." Yuan Shanming's expression became strange, "Do you know what the W in W Zone is?"
"What?" Everyone was confused.
"W Zone is the abbreviation of No Man's Land," Dita said in a puzzled tone, "No Man's Land, where are the people?"
The author has something to say:
Speaking of which, the N in N Port was the letter that Han Tang picked at the beginning, but now that the opening of N Port is getting closer and closer, Han Tang is worrying every day about what the abbreviation of N is (close his eyes)
The Port of Raging Waves? It has no regional characteristics (picky)
Happy National Day everyone! The first 40+ will get a random 20 red envelope
