Last night's big scene made Lu Ning so satisfied that she even got a good night's sleep, which was so rare in the scene.
Class continues today. Lu Ning came to school early to start studying. The textbooks here are not much different from the ones she used in high school. The texts are different, but the articles are more interesting to read when they are fresh. If she wasn't pressed for time, Lu Ning would even want to look for some extracurricular readings mentioned at the back of the book.
As for the fact that someone died yesterday, it just became a topic of conversation after class. Even the girl's classmates didn't have much reaction. People here are so cold.
"Lu Ning, do you want to sing tonight?"
During the lunch break, Han Qing approached Lu Ning and invited him.
"Singing? Are you preparing for Cen Mujian's concert?"
"Hey, you guessed it. The concert is about to start, and I have to practice singing. Please accompany me! I'm treating you this time!"
"You have money? Why not pay me back the money you paid yesterday?"
"That's not possible! This money is specially set aside by me to practice singing! The money that is scheduled to be spent cannot be regarded as the money that is still in hand. This is called a budget!"
"What kind of budget is this..."
"Come on! Come on!"
Lu Ning was so shaken by her that she nodded in agreement.
"It's your treat, you said so."
"Well, let's go together after school. Don't worry, I'll take care of your dinner too." Han Qing patted his chest generously.
========================
After canceling today's car rental service, Lu Ning followed Han Qing to a KTV near the school after school.
Probably because of the concert, the KTV room was actually full today. Han Qing didn't want to share a room with others, so he gritted his teeth and took Lu Ning to the Queen's Golden Crown, which was not too far away.
The most famous thing about this building is undoubtedly the casino here, but there are also various entertainment facilities downstairs, from arcades to large VR game rooms, from singing and dancing to cinemas and restaurants, and the price is actually not So expensive.
Han Qing quickly booked box number 17, ordered some snacks and drinks with Lu Ning, and rushed into the box impatiently.
Lu Ning, who didn't know much about singers or songs, sat on the sofa and watched Han Qing order songs. Most of Cen Mujian's music styles were weird and a bit gray. It was not Lu Ning's favorite style, but it seemed to be quite popular among young people. Favorite.
"One Third of the Fall", "Dream in the Lake", "Suicide Trip"...
Although the title of the song conveys a sense of negativity, judging from the lyrics, it is not a song that praises death. Most of the songs describe a tragedy in a narrative and metaphorical way, and are even more profound when paired with the low and dark music. Even Lu Ning, who had no experience in art appreciation, gradually found these songs more pleasant to listen to.
Except Han Qing’s voice.
Although she is not tone-deaf, she is very easily excited when singing. She often starts off well, but once she gets into the middle of the song, she starts roaring at the top of her lungs, which makes her feel good about herself.
"Lu Ning! How was my singing!"
"It's okay." Lu Ning opened a can of lemonade and responded with a smile.
"But I still have to practice! I want to sing the harmony live!"
As she said this, she ordered another song.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Ning had already drank two cans of drinks and ate some potato chips to pad his stomach, but this made him want to go to the bathroom.
"Han Qing, let me leave for a moment."
"Okay!" Han Qing, who was singing happily, shouted into the microphone.
Lu Ning stood up, left the box, looked at the signs in the corridor, and walked to the bathroom. As the time gets closer to night, there are more and more people here. There are also many waiters in the corridor who are busy delivering things to each box. Sounds like howling like ghosts and wolves can be heard in many boxes.
After passing these places and entering the bathroom, two people walked out of the door of the men's bathroom next to them, holding a drunk man in the middle with a helpless and funny look on their face.
"This kid is drunk again."
"You still have to trouble us."
The two of them dragged the person out of the toilet. Lu Ning covered her nose and moved to the side to get out of the way. The man approaching her quickly smiled at her and nodded.
Then he let go of the man holding the hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and rushed towards Lu Ning.
The distance between the two was only one meter. The man originally thought that this attack was a sure thing. Unexpectedly, Lu Ning rolled to the side as if he had expected it. He raised his hand and a utility knife came out with a click. Give him a hard slap on the wrist!
"Get her!"
The man shouted while holding his injured hand. This place happened to be at a corner. People who didn't usually come to the bathroom wouldn't come here. No one noticed at all. He was determined to arrest someone.
At the same time, the other man also let go and pulled out an empty wine bottle from his lower back.
"From a black clinic in District 10? Are my organs so valuable?"
Lu Ning flicked the utility knife to shake off some blood, lowered her right hand and hooked her fingers slightly.
The man whose wrist was cut cursed and bandaged it, but the blood still continued to flow. This group of people were very courageous when they kidnapped people and sold organs. Once their lives were in danger, they immediately became timid.
Obviously, these two people have realized that Lu Ning is not a soft persimmon anymore, but he has reached this point now. Why don't they just wait for the other party to come over and kill them?
The man holding the bottle roared to embolden himself, and rushed forward, waving the bottle around in an attempt to protect himself and attack. This action looked quite funny, even to Lu Ning, who had only learned some martial arts. Full of flaws.
She threw the utility knife directly at the other party's door, which frightened the other party and quickly blocked the bottle in front of his face, knocking the utility knife away. However, this also blocked his sight. Lu Ning used a crouching position to exert force and quickly ran into his arms. She bent the four fingers of her right hand and a row of sword blades popped out in the form of a fan and sank directly into his abdominal cavity. Then just pull it up hard!
"This damn place really kills people every day."
There was a warm and sticky touch between Lu Ning's fingers. There was no need to worry about the sharpness of the sword chariot. After disemboweling the body and cutting it along the trachea, there was no obstruction at all, and even the blood didn't even have time to splash out.
boom.
When it fell to the ground, it was just a corpse. The man whose wrists were cut was already trembling with fear. Lu Ning's hand was still dripping blood from the sword cart. Although only the part to the wrist was stained red, such a clean and neat killing method was enough to prove that she was better than These people are even more terrifying murderers.
Who in the right mind would carry these weapons with him?
"Is this guy your cargo too?"
Lu Ning glanced at the man who had fallen asleep on the ground. The strong smell of alcohol on this man's body was caused by pouring wine on him. He was probably knocked unconscious in the toilet and was about to be taken out and transported away.
"Yes, yes." The organ dealer nodded hastily.
"Am I special?"
"You...your blood is very rare, and the matching type meets the requirements of two customers who have been waiting for a long time. They paid a lot of money to obtain your heart and liver in a short time..."
"Who is the customer?"
"No, I don't know. We are only responsible for arresting people. Others are responsible for contacting customers..."
"How many of you are there?"
"I know there are more than a dozen in our group. Really, we all just want to capture you alive and we won't hurt you..."
Lu Ning sneered and pointed to the person lying on the ground: "What about him?"
"There seems to be some dispute in his family. I don't know the details. Anyway, they asked for his kidney."
Family dispute? That was quite a scene.
In line with the principle of not letting the news that comes to you go to waste, Lu Ning took out all the documents in the man's pocket.
The ID shows that his name is Luke and he is of mixed race. There were several cards in the wallet and a lot of cash. He seemed to be from a wealthy background. There was a camera and film in the pocket, and in the pocket was a mobile phone with a fingerprint lock that would be useless if the owner was caught.
Lu Ning opened the unfortunate young man's mobile phone and found the app with the eye-catching crow pattern.
What an unexpected surprise.
"Do you want to live?" she asked the organ dealer.
The other party nodded repeatedly.
"Eat this and swallow it directly." Lu Ning raised her hand and threw a small black particle to him.
"This, this..."
"Does that mean you want to die?"
The sword cart popped out with a click, and the sudden appearance of the sword completed the physical persuasion. The organ dealer quickly swallowed the thing.
"Come here and ask me for the antidote in seven days. Go back and tell them that the kidnapping failed. I am investigating who the client behind them is. Get out."
The man couldn't believe it, but he still rolled away and ran away.
Lu Ning walked into the bathroom leisurely, went to the toilet, and then walked back easily, nudged Luke awake with her toes.
"Hey...my head...my butt..."
Luke rubbed his head and climbed up. He put his hand on the blood on the floor. He suddenly slipped and fell into the blood that had begun to turn cold.
"Ahhh!"
"Are you awake? Stop pretending." Lu Ning took a few steps back to avoid being splashed with blood, folded her arms and said to him, "Crow, I saw it all."
"Uh... what just happened here?" Luke found that the person talking to him was a young girl, and he stood up awkwardly.
"Organ trafficking, you won the lottery." Lu Ning said.
Luke thought about it and understood the connection, then nodded and said thank you to Lu Ning.
"Does your identity have a bad family relationship?"
When asked about this, Luke suddenly became alert: "Why are you asking this? This is a secret scene."
"I don't want to forget it. Your current family members asked for your kidney, and there are probably a lot of people trying to arrest you now. This is a free message for you, but you are very unlucky."
"Are you unlucky? Haha, luck is always conserved. If I was unlucky enough to be caught, wouldn't I be lucky enough to be saved by you?" Luke didn't care much about it. "Since you told me this... I can't take advantage of it in vain." Can you please leave me your contact information? I'll send you some good news later."
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded.
===================
After returning to the box, Han Qing was still immersed in singing, and when he saw Lu Ning, he just nodded. Lu Ning didn't bother her, sat down on the corner of the sofa and turned on her phone to check.
There has been no progress in avoiding death, which shows that the matter has not been solved yet. But it's also a good clue.
Lu Ning didn't have much opportunity for a physical examination either before or after she arrived. The only one she had to undergo was the physical examination she had to undergo before enrolling - and that happened before she arrived. A crisis derived from this is also included in the scene mission, which may be a branch line that she can open alone.
"past".
Luke was a man of his word, and he quickly sent Lu Ning a message.
[All immigrants who settle in Sin City, whether temporarily or permanently, must have criminal experience. However, there is no requirement whether this experience will be investigated. 】
In other words, an outsider like Lu Ning must have committed some kind of crime before coming here. And when extended to all tourists, there are probably very few who can replace the identity of locals.
This is not related to the main plot, but it is very helpful for exploring one's past.
Finally, the time in the box passed. Han Qing left the Queen's Golden Crown with Lu Ning with a hoarse voice. On the way, he kept asking if there was anything that needed improvement in his singing.
Back at her residence, Lu Ning finally relaxed a little.
This place is relatively safe in the near future, and the bed ordered before going out today will be delivered tomorrow. Lu Ning roughly estimated that there will probably be no major problems until the Sabbath.
On the other hand, the tracker fed to that person also found several places that were suspected to be the other party's lair. Lu Ning planned to find a way to solve the problems of those two customers in the next few days to avoid any surprises in the future.
When she turned off her computer and prepared to go to sleep, a phone call came. As soon as he picked up the phone, Tan Xiao's enthusiastic voice came from inside: "Lu Ning, the class arranged for you has been prepared. I will send the information to your email immediately. You can choose a time you like to go there. By the way , Coach Jiang asked me to say hello to you!"
"I understand, I'll check it out. Are you working so late?"
"Why don't you make money while you're young and strong? Why don't you do more? If you need anything, you can call me. Don't bother me. Let's talk later!" Tan Xiao finished the conversation and quickly ended the conversation.
Lu Ning put down her phone.
Jiangshanluo obviously has something to say, but it is not convenient to convey it through communication, or the communication may not be safe? It seems that every tourist I met this time is very capable, and after so many days, the progress of the investigation should have made some achievements. If nothing happens, many people will exchange information for the first time this weekend.
I have to take advantage of these few days to collect more information - while studying.
Thinking so, Lu Ning didn't have a good sleep that night because there was another explosion somewhere nearby.
Or rather, several places.
