Foreword:
People can make mistakes, but they cannot make the same mistake.
[Part①·Silver Bailey]
Silverware is the favorite currency of Huangshi people. Whether it is District 11, District 48, or even most of the junctions of Mimir Hot Springs in District 18, they all contain large amounts of precious metal deposits.
All currencies in the world are derived from debt. When people borrow money from banks and borrow money in any way and for any reason, this part of the paper currency has a reason to enter the market and fall into everyone's hands.
But silver is different. This precious metal's status in the underground world is more valuable than gold. It is not only the base of pyroxene jewelry, but also a life-protecting magic weapon forged in the Blue Stone Man's magic workshop.
In the largest banknote issuance center in the underground world, in the territory of the Huangshi people, speculators do not believe in the Blood Butterfly banknotes in their hands. They believe more in the value of the silver mines. Because Aohui Mingde's stock may fall, but the money will always be useful.
[Yin Bailey] is such an organization. It is a group of scavengers. If you mention another abbreviation of [Beggars Gang], you should understand it better.
It transports newsboys for armadillo hunters, provides intelligence to various war gangs, looks after passengers' luggage or provides loan services. It is willing to do any small craftsmanship or bounty target.
It ranges from bodyguard services to protect the tertiary industry, to home decoration and miscellaneous items, such as refurbishment of old items.
Act as a tour guide for tourists and passengers from all over the world, explaining local customs and black and white rules.
The people they serve are all kinds of weird, ranging from ordinary humans to rare people from the astral world. These beggars have to learn several foreign languages depending on the situation, even alien languages or animal languages.
After Teacher Victor left, Xueming had to go to the station in Bailong County to retrieve his equipment, and he had to deal with middlemen. These middlemen may be members of the Beggar Gang who travel among various war gangs and religious orders.
When Puxi Pei Dinan woke up, everything went smoothly. Due to the influence of the tape, she behaved very well. However, when she heard the news of her father's death, her mood changed slightly. Then everything went as usual and she no longer asked about the detailed reasons. .
"I originally thought," the little girl from Puxi led a few people outside the brown sugar factory and talked about her father, "I was the only one who could kill him with my own hands. I didn't expect that he died so suddenly and unexpectedly."
Whether it's a description of a little star or a text message from prison.
The patriarch, police officers, and colleagues in the laboratory all believed that Francis Petinan died in an electrical leakage accident.
The moment the treasure keeper pulled the switch, he was struck by electric current and died on the spot.
No one knew the soul power of the Hasband boy. The short-circuit accident in this pipeline indirectly caused the prison's surveillance system to be partially paralyzed - it was also the escape route designed by Duran for Hasburn.
From the church area to the hanging garden and even the front hall, God's eyes were poked out.
"Next, we have to split up." Puxi talked about business with a few sisters, and pulled a few people onto a minibus and headed towards the station in Bailong County: "You two——"
——She pointed at Duran and Flavia.
"Follow me to the green wine workshop and say hello to the new brother."
The so-called green wine is an absinthe-based soft psychedelic drug that is often found in nightclubs. It is often accompanied by various food and wine drinks and provided to guests having fun.
This kind of psychedelic drug has strict requirements on the production environment and technicians. Generally speaking, the next step for apprentices who can sneak into the green wine workshop is to be sent to be assistants to poison masters in the core circle of the Little Brotherhood.
Flavia is the leader among them. She used to work in the green wine workshop. As for the brown sugar factory, it is a welfare unit that provides jobs for temporary workers. Most people who want to work there and earn a living only need two weeks of training.
The meaning of Puxi's words was the order passed down by the patriarch, asking Flavia to quickly select a suitable assistant and return to the work rhythm of the Little Brotherhood as soon as possible.
As Flavia's guardian, Duran just nodded in agreement and did not dare to question the patriarch's order.
Puxi then handed G117 a business card with the name and contact information of a steward at [Yin Bailey] written on it.
"You find this person and report to the war gang in District 48 - as for which war gang it is, go to which jurisdiction. Follow the instructions of the patriarch."
Xueming immediately asked: "Can't I see the patriarch directly?"
"No." Pu Xi was interrupted and felt impatient: "No one has ever taught you? It's very rude to interrupt when others are talking! You, a bitch, can't understand people's words. Beast?"
Little Xingxing said at the right time: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not being able to discipline them well."
Puxi doesn't have a good temper and talks to the sisters about the rules of District 48.
"If you want to meet the Cult Ancestor, you must make outstanding contributions to the Little Brotherhood. I don't know what position you held in the Rose Cult before. No matter how much your mistress values you, in our world, you have to start from scratch step by step. Understand?"
Xueming nodded——
——Thinking in my heart, it seems that beheading the patriarch will definitely not be possible in the short term.
"Our patriarch doesn't usually look at people with their true appearance when discussing business. I have never seen his true face." Puxi explained in a serious manner: "Only my father and his agent have really seen him. His appearance. According to this statement, if you want to see the patriarch, at least you have to help the younger brothers kill two hundred people, right?"
Xueming: "Who to kill?"
Puxi played with his fingers and raised his head with a nonchalant look, as if he was spitting out the numbers in nonsense, but this new little sister took him seriously, with a bit of teasing in his eyes.
"Of course it's to eliminate blind competitors, or kill astral hybrid lizards - our number one enemy is the Astral Gang. These mixed-blood rarefied people have been fighting for our territory for sixteen years. If it weren't for them, we could just stand aside. Let’s go back to the green wine workshop while we travel and chat. Your good sister Dulan doesn’t have to worry about being assassinated all the time.”
This astral gang is literally a gang established by astral creatures.
Duran said that before the Patriarch took over the affairs of the Little Brotherhood, the drug business of the Crazy Butterfly Sect was not its main source of income. The Little Brotherhood initially sold "shortcuts", mainly gambling casinos.
People always believe that there is a magical divination magic in the world that can bring good luck to people.
Money and happiness obtained through luck are both reasonable, legal and legitimate income. But later, when Mr. Lawrence made the drug trafficking industry bigger and stronger, he touched the cakes of many drug dealers. This was the trigger for gang wars and armed battles.
According to the teachings of the ancestors, taking drugs is a shortcut. It is essentially the same as taking a panacea for passengers. It is an absolute shortcut to exclude all pain and misfortune from life.
Since human beings’ own activities are to pursue the rewards given to them by brain nerve signals.
Pleasure and sex, wealth or happiness, relief and contentment. These signals can be generated through different neurotransmitters. Teacher Victor would say that this is why people are slaves of the brain.
Whether rich or poor, people will always pursue nothingness and touch these poisons through a strong desire for self-destruction.
This is a ticket that goes straight to the terminal, not only the spirit, but also the life is very likely to be sent away.
In the early years, the members of the Star Boundary Gang roamed the wilds. In terms of collecting wild poisons from the moss fungus, due to their special beast hybrid physique, they were more powerful than the members of the Little Brotherhood. They were the major poison manufacturers in the 48th District. Later, new chemicals emerged one after another. The ancestors relied on outstanding poison masters to complete overtaking in corners, and these traditional craftsmen were about to be eliminated.
Taking the intercity express, they traveled farther and farther from Bailong County, covering more than 80 kilometers. When they arrived at the platform of Qingshui Bay, they saw two huge cliffs with a depth of more than 400 meters on the cliffs in the distance. Fall.
This is where the name Clearwater Bay comes from. It has beautiful scenery and rich and clean underground water resources. Very suitable for human habitation.
Pu Xi left with Du Lan and Flavia, while Xueming looked at the business card of Manager Yin Bailey.
This city is located about 7,500 meters underground. Unlike the Nine Realms, Giant Mountain and Sky Dome, it has no exits and is not a major station. All satellite towns and settlements are built around the Clearwater Bay Pier. It is said that this city was created precisely because of this underground river.
Xueming didn't have a phone at hand, so she had to find a public phone booth.
When Meteor got out of the car, he saw many vendors selling food. He couldn't help his curiosity and took a few steps outside.
She was immediately grabbed by Xueming and carried on his shoulders.
"Don't run around."
Little Xingxing no longer calls out her pseudonym when she sees no one else: "Sister! I'll just take a look!"
"This place is very dangerous." Xueming walked through the dazzling array of candy stalls and smelled the pungent smell of various foods in the air. He always remained vigilant: "Puxi dared to leave us two behind, and he was not afraid of us running around - it shows She is very confident that she can find anyone in this world. Her spies are everywhere."
Little Xingxing: "Then what should we do now?"
Xueming glanced at the prison uniforms worn by the two people, but the tourists and shopkeepers around them were used to it and were not surprised.
It seems that Clearwater Bay is really a place with simple folk customs, and there are countless talents who have escaped from prison.
"Go change your clothes first."
After leaving the station, in the clothing store next to the food and lodging street, the two of them casually put on their down jackets to keep out the cold, but still did not take off their prison clothes. In the locker room, Little Xingxing kept asking.
"Sister, what do you mean by that Puxi girl? Why did she leave us behind? Isn't she afraid of us running away?"
Xueming's response came from next door.
"It should be the intention of the patriarch to continue testing us."
"What are you trying?"
"Try to see if we have any brains and see if we can only fight."
"Oh, then should we have brains?"
“According to Puxi”
At this point, Xueming had already changed her clothes and opened the door to Little Star's dressing room.
"We have to help the Little Brotherhood kill two hundred blood-granting units, or disaster beast hybrids, before we can enter their core circle. Otherwise, we have to start from another angle, drug sales."
The moment she opened the door, Xueming felt quite embarrassed——
——Because Little Xingxing first changed herself into a pink floral dress, and then pretended to be delicate and pretentious, like Jerry who was being watched in the shower and screamed loudly.
Xueming raised his hand and slapped it, raised it high, and gently slapped Meteor on the face.
"Are you serious? I really want to check your mental state. To be honest, this isn't the first time."
Little Xingxing pushed away Brother Ming's gloved fleshy palm, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "I just want to give it a try."
The fun is over, it’s time to get down to business.
Xueming changed the girl into long clothes and trousers that were easy to move around. After paying the bill with her sisters, she asked the boss about the location of the nearest public phone booth, and then hurried over without stopping.
Along the way, Little Xingxing continued to ask the previous topic.
"Sister, if you don't want to use force to do things, and the ancestor wants you to sell drugs, what should you do?"
"When did I say that I don't want to use force to do things?" Xueming was deeply surprised: "Don't you feel that I have a sudden murderous intention now?"
[Part②·Whose rules do you follow? ]
People were coming and going on the noisy streets, and there were many small-time newspaper boys holding square wooden boxes and selling goods.
Xueming held Little Xingxing's shoulders and described the Qingshui Bay in her eyes.
"When I came out of the train station, I didn't see any middle-aged people over forty years old. It seemed that this place was full of vitality and everything was full of youthful vitality."
"The makeup on women's faces is so thick that it's bulletproof, and the gummies sold at the stalls all smell like magu leaves. The old people with strong vitality are probably paralyzed at home, their bodies hollowed out by drugs-criminals can wear prison uniforms. Walking up and down the street.”
"Weak people who don't live past the age of forty will probably have died beside a flower bed somewhere, and will be collected by garbage trucks and turned into fuel for thermal power plants."
"Axing, I miss you so much now."
Little Xingxing tensed up: "It's so disgusting!"
Xueming shook his head: "I miss your male role. How great would it be if you could change back? At least we still have a 270-degree fire projection net when we are back to back."
Saying this——
——Xue Ming did not call the front desk of Jiujie Station in the end.
She didn't know if the public telephone system here was being monitored, and whether the consul and the local plutocrats might collude with officials and gangsters to get in and out. If these people also betrayed Ao Mingde, then this call must not be made.
Teacher Victor has already seen Puxi Pei Dinan’s memory. When the teacher returns to the BOSS, he will definitely make things clear. There is no need for Xueming to tip off the news.
But before she could press the first button on the dial.
There was a fierce knock on the door immediately outside the phone booth.
Xueming heard the sound and opened the door——
——I saw a middle-aged woman squeezing into the phone booth with her child in her arms, speaking fluent Spanish.
"Girl! Give way! Can you let me make a phone call first! My child has a fever! I have to contact my husband!"
Neither Xueming nor Liuxing paid attention, and exited the phone booth, giving the mother the opportunity to communicate.
When they entered the phone booth again, before they had time to say hello, the mother with the baby left in a hurry without even saying hello or saying thank you.
This made Xueming suspicious. She hesitated again and again, but still did not touch the dial or receiver.
Little Xingxing asked in confusion: "Sister? What are you doing standing there in a daze?"
"because."
Right now, right now.
A stranger came in.
The man was wearing a cowboy hat, a white suit, and black hair. He was a black man in his mid-twenties, with a sloppy beard and a strong smell of cigarette smoke.
"Because the lady has noticed."
The black boy squeezed away the little star and showed a bright smile. He wiped the dial of the phone booth with a tissue and saw a layer of yellow grease left on the white toilet paper.
"In the glycerin, there are small sweets special to District 48. This entry-level dessert can make you feel happy - we call it [appetizer]. Like nicotine, it can be absorbed by the skin. That mother who just occupied the phone booth. I am ready to sell it to you. The marketing techniques for this kind of medicine are simple and crude.”
Little Xingxing felt her scalp tingle when she heard that the evil monster in this world would actually take advantage of people's sympathy! Is it possible to commit a crime with a baby? !
"I followed you all the way." The black man introduced himself: "Leslie, the manager of Silver Bailey, the laborers and newsboys on East Street, are all my brothers."
Xueming's eyes were stern and he didn't smile.
She didn't speak, just observing Brother Leslie's expression.
Leslie then said with a smile: "Don't you believe me? Why don't you lick the appetizers on the dial? Many people's lives have been ruined by this trick, including my father."
Xueming shook his head: "I'm not sure of your identity."
"Then wait a moment, wait for thirty seconds." Leslie stretched out his hand, revealed the gold watch from his white suit, and then started the countdown.
The last ten seconds or so——
——The two stall owners, one on the left and one on the right, returned to the phone booth with the middle-aged mother just now sandwiched between them.
The woman just cried, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, she was wailing miserably, and she was beaten severely.
Leslie, on the other hand, was familiar with the situation. He opened the door of the phone booth and demonstrated the community rules of Clearwater Bay to the distinguished guests of the Little Brotherhood.
"She broke the rules and crossed two jurisdictions to sell goods. I am not qualified to deal with her. According to the practice of the Little Brotherhood, one of her arms will be chopped off."
Leslie greeted the fat boss on the right, then took out a beautiful Bowie hunting knife and handed it to Xueming.
"People from Silver Bailey can't do anything. This is the territory of the Little Brotherhood. You are a noble of the Little Brotherhood. I want you to come in person."
"Don't believe his lies! Girl! Girl!" The woman was escorted to the phone booth. A follower clamped her chin, held her arms down and put them on the iron railing: "Don't believe him! Don't believe him! It's not me. I really don’t know anything about it! I just came to give me a call.”
Leslie said leisurely: "Most of these drug dealers smoke and sell at the same time. They will do anything for money."
Woman: "Fart! You bastard! Damn nigger!"
Seeing that Xue Ming didn't take action for a long time, Leslie's expression gradually became ambiguous, "You can't do it?"
Little Xingxing was so angry that she didn't dare to take a breath. She had told 3301 about this matter.
Even if the enemy is a woman or a child, she will hesitate and hesitate for a moment.
In the current situation, it seems that this woman is bringing a child to poison people. What is the eldest sister hesitating about?
Faced with Leslie's doubts, Xueming walked out of the door first, checked the baby's symptoms from the arms of another stall owner, and found that the baby was indeed having a fever.
Then she took off the swaddling clothes and saw burns on the child's body and traces of cigarette butts.
Looking back again, she walked into the phone booth. She opened the woman's collar, and while yelling and screaming in fear, she tore open the cotton sandwich on the woman's arm and found a bottle of yellow solvent.
Leslie was quite surprised and surprised by the newcomer's thoughtfulness.
Xueming said to Leslie: "Go out for a while."
Yin Bailey's steward immediately followed the employer's instructions and left with the two workers.
Xueming immediately changed his face and said to the woman with a playful smile and a cynical expression.
"How does this thing work?"
Women, on the other hand, change their faces at the speed of light, from being submissive and unjustly terrifying to being a shrewd and agile salesperson.
"This is just an appetizer, sister. Let me tell you that as long as you drop it on your arm, you will feel happy immediately. Do you want to try it? Do you want to try it? Believe me, these beggars will not understand at all."
Xueming: "Really?"
Woman: "The repurchase rate is 100%! As long as you are willing to try it! Other customers will agree to it after using it!"
The words have not yet fallen——
——The woman only felt a huge force coming towards her face!
A dark chemical fiber glove pressed against her face.
Xueming: "People can make mistakes, but they can't make the same mistake."
Those were the last words she heard.
Leslie, who was guarding the door, tensed up because the noise coming from the phone booth was really scary.
The scream was like a pig being slaughtered. It was killed suddenly with a knife, and the trachea and arteries were cut together. The first half of the scream was full of breath, and the second half was weak and feeble. It was followed by twitching of the limbs, the vibration of hitting the pavilion, and... There were eye-catching traces of bright red blood splashed on the frosted glass like a waterfall.
Brother Hei's expression became very wonderful.
Until Xueming walked out of the phone booth with blood on her face.
Little Xingxing followed the eldest sister, her face also covered in blood, and she spoke politely to Brother Hei.
"Can you arrange a place for me to take a bath? I have new clothes."
Leslie licked her lips, feeling nervous.
"She's just selling drugs. She doesn't follow the rules. Ms. Glory follows the Little Brotherhood's approach. She only needs one arm."
Xueming interrupted——
"--died."
The two bosses also looked like they had seen a ghost. The thinner one was still holding the child. When he saw the tragic scene of killing people in the phone booth, he couldn't help but hold the baby tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Xueming spoke to the boss.
"Send the child to an orphanage. Is there an orphanage here? How about sending it to the 18th District? I will pay for the bus ticket, food and accommodation."
Leslie and the two workers nodded in unison, not daring to say anything.
Immediately afterwards, Xueming returned the Bowie hunting knife to Leslie and patted the black brother's face, leaving a bloody palm print on his glove.
"Clean this place up."
