Foreword:
I think about past lives, countless kalpas.
The riot in Hedland lasted only thirty minutes. The Patriarch's sentries passed on rumors and distributed weapons and keys to the prisoners. The confusion and chaos caused by the prison escape operation among the war gangs were resolved with one sentence by several leaders. .
"Staying in the precarious Platform Zero and working for the Crazy Butterfly Cult is better than living in a big hotel."
Sometimes you have to marvel at the charm of video games.
Like other nipple entertainment projects, it can not only consume people's will, but also turn any serious, terrifying, and extremely intense hatred and desire into a peaceful and joyful life.
Almost immediately, the grudges between the Tyrannosaurus Warriors Gang and the Falcon Gang were settled in a weapon fight. People from the Hongmen Association's Martial Arts Hall stepped forward to act as peacemakers, and eventually sent all the injured felons to prison. Go to therapy.
The old butler Edward and Link walked out of the door together——
——The "Saturn Devouring His Son" in the cloakroom has been replaced by a new painting called "Liberty Leading the People."
The gray-bearded vampire chatted with the doorman.
Edward said: "Lawrence Madison's six cadres are almost dead, like the six children eaten by the god of agriculture."
Link said: "There are still two felons who are still alive. They escaped from us."
Edward felt lost, looking at the sun gradually disappearing in the sky, and walked out from the lobby porch: "Dulan and Sissi?"
Link nodded: "Will they come back to serve their sentence?"
Edward: "I'm afraid there won't be this chance. Most of the people who have anything to do with Lawrence will be sentenced to death."
Link: "What a shame."
Edward: "What? Do you still think that we can hold a new wedding in prison?"
Link: "The cakes made by Telina and Zero are delicious. I want to eat them again."
Edward: "Hey."
Link: "What crime have you committed, old friend? I've been in this position for many, many years, romancing people, connecting Hedland to the outside world - I'm curious, like How could a blood-giving monster of your age be willing to stay here?"
Edward: "It's very simple - do you want to listen?"
Link: "I won't offend you, right?"
Edward: "I'm old enough to be your grandfather, little Link. Even though you have a gray beard and have lost all your hair - you still refuse to even call out [you]. This is an offense in itself."
Link pretended: "I won't offend you, right?"
Edward laughed, showing four fangs: "Hahahahaha! Of course not!"
Link was silent——
——Waiting for old friends to talk about their past, although this is taboo in Hedland.
After all, when everyone goes to prison, as long as they don't say what crimes they have committed, they can gain the respect of others. After all, these scum will only be more ruthless, rampant, and violent than themselves. If any of them are really because of The private collection of pornographic discs was brought to Hedland, and everyone felt inexplicable embarrassment when hearing the hero recount the past.
"I lived in a small town in America. It was a desolate and backward place called Minston. Many places were called Minston. You don't have to care where it was." Edward said: "When I was young At that time, there were many bandits and bullies, and the laws of each state were different. If the sheriff could not handle the matter, he would put a reward on it, and the state government would hire border arbiters to eliminate the robbers and robbers in the wilderness."
Link: "Have you ever been a police officer?"
Edward: "No, I'm just a border arbiter, not a legal policeman."
As he said this, Old Edward made gestures as if he were hugging a heavy treasure box, and said with a smile.
"There's a lot of oil and water, you know, border arbiters are not like Sheriffs, we can hunt freely and have a license to kill."
Link suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh"
Edward nodded: "When you meet powerful robbers, you can fool them with a few nice words, and commit crimes together with the robbers. When you meet weak thieves, you immediately become a messenger of justice and take their heads to collect rewards. A single traveling trader or gold prospector, they would become my meal - this was the job I used to make a living on, and I thought I did a pretty good job and could still live to tell you this story."
Link: "How did you become a blood-giving monster?"
"The winter in Minston is very sad." Edward grasped the key point and said: "In the legend of the Indians, when there is not enough food for the winter, there will be man-eating devils - those big antlered devils like human flesh, but they are actually hungry. An ogre that loses its mind and devours its own kind.”
Returning to the United States more than a hundred years ago, Edward decided to start from the beginning.
"At that time, the county government asked the border arbiter to go hunting in the mountains during the winter and pay a bounty for wild boar meat and grizzly bear meat. I couldn't fight these beasts, so I returned to my hometown to rest. At that time, I was shot in the right knee. You can’t go far if you have hidden wounds.”
"When I went to the tavern to buy medicine, there was a twelve-year-old girl named Penny - the same name as the tattooed girl from Sweet Lake City. It's a coincidence."
Link: "Hahahaha. So you always bring some candy to Penny when you see her?"
Edward said with a smile at first.
"Next time I will bring Wangzai QQ candy. She suddenly likes Chinese snacks. She is also studying the art of tattooing Chinese characters recently, but her Chinese is not good. Last time when I saw the word "love" on the prisoner's forehead, I felt I wonder if she has watched too much Naruto."
Link: "That's definitely not possible - there are still differences between Japan and China."
Edward: "It really doesn't work. Do you know how to anger a Chinese in the shortest time?"
Link: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Edward: "Call him Japanese in front of him."
Link: "Hahahahahahahaha"
Edward went on: "Don't interrupt me, old boy. I have to go on. Where did I go?"
Link reminded: "Penny, the Penny of more than a hundred years ago, that's all."
"Oh yes! Penny asked me to buy her at that time. Buy her for sixteen dollars." Edward said jokingly: "A twelve-year-old girl is like a shy rose waiting to bloom."
Link: "Oh my god. You can't."
Edward smiled and waved his hand: "I committed murder and arson. It's not my fault. I did it according to the orders of the state government. If I don't do this, I will starve to death - a more powerful arbiter than me will shoot Break my knees, take away the criminals I worked so hard to capture, and take their bodies to collect the reward.”
"But I can't deal with this little girl, Link - you know? I think what makes us human is that we take care of our children, teach them how to read, and keep them alive. Remember how we survive. , live better than us.”
Link took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the old vampire.
Edward continued.
"I asked Penny—"
"——Why did you sell yourself?"
"Penny just said—"
"——My mother was seriously ill, my father went to San Francisco to pan for gold, and my grandfather sold slaves in the green fields of Kansas and never came back. Maybe he was robbed. She didn't want to sell herself to pick up customers. When she saw a tall and big boy like me, But he injured his leg and must need a woman to take care of him, so he wanted to sell himself."
"Let me continue - you are only twelve years old, you cannot be my bride."
"Penny wasn't convinced, but she just kept crying. If she couldn't find the money, she wouldn't be able to save her mother."
"I think this is a losing deal. If I get caught by this little bitch, I'll never be able to leave Minston again - these bloody knees will make me a useless person, and I can't even do farm work." .”
"But I had no choice. It was as if my knee had a mind of its own. As I walked toward the door of the tavern, it became more and more disobedient. I went to the second floor of the tavern. When I went up the stairs, it started to feel hot and flushed with blood. into the joint until I pushed open the spring door of the stall on the second floor. I carried Penny out and returned home with her, carrying her mother on her back into the wind and snow, and paid to hire a carriage - asking the groom to take her. Let’s go to the nearest fox market to find a doctor.”
Link: "Is her mother okay?"
"It's almost hopeless. Modern medicine calls it tuberculosis, and it's a terminal disease." Edward shook his head and pursed his lips: "My worries are right. Sure enough, there are obstacles waiting for us - winter hunting has compressed the scope of activities of gangs, and the border The arbiters and the peace officers ran to the mountains and wanted to catch the bandits hiding in the mountain col. They not only wanted to eat bear meat, but also wanted more money to buy turkeys for Christmas. The robbers had no way to escape, so they We have to run out of the mountains and find food around the towns.”
"I met two groups of robbers and fought bloody battles with these people. I thought I was really crazy. How could I do such a dangerous thing for these orphans and widows? The groom was the first to die. I went to the car to look for him. The snuff bottle, when I looked back, the others had disappeared - Xu was shot to death and fell into the mud on the side of the road, and no movement was heard."
"I don't remember how many people I killed. It must not have been more than sixteen, because I only had twenty-one bullets. In order to raise sixteen dollars for Penny, I sold the .303, which was the bullet I had on hand. that is all."
"They came one by one - seven people came first, and there should be more after that."
"After it was over, I don't remember if I was shot, maybe twice. My stomach and left eye hurt terribly. The groom was gone, so I had to continue on my way."
"The wind and snow were really strong, and there was a big circus at the Fox Market. I just remembered this - follow the balloons and lights in the distance, and I'll definitely get there."
"When I touched my forehead, a lot of red ice scum came down. Maybe I was going to die - this is the best outcome."
"I'm thinking, I've done so many bad things and done so many good things. It's like tossing a coin. Maybe I will die among these good things and bad things - and finally die in Penny's hands. Maybe I am lucky."
"I talked a lot with this little girl. I took out a bunch of wanted posters from my pocket and told her that I was responsible for all these cases, but the people at the county hall didn't know. I secretly pulled out the wanted posters. , I’m afraid that something will be revealed one day, but now they are all useful, if you carry my head to collect the reward, you can get a lot of money."
"Penny refused to take it. All she wanted to do was cry."
"The corpse attracted the ogre, and a monster followed us all the way. When we were still more than two hundred feet away from the Fox Market, it finally determined that I was weak and dead, without any ability to resist. Maybe it was the corpse of the robber behind me. It's even stiffer than bacon, and it can't fit into your mouth, so you have to eat something hot."
"I regained my strength to fight with it. I ran out of bullets, so I bit and struggled with it. When I woke up, I became a vampire."
Link: "What happens next?"
Edward was silent for a long time and finally said.
"I woke up under the care of the voodoo doctor at the Fox Market. Penny and her mother were gone. This bitch lied to me. I went to the county hall to investigate the case and found out that she went back to pick up the corpses of the robbers. , earned more than five hundred dollars!"
Link said in surprise: "Where is her mother?!"
Edward: "That's the prostitute she paid for!"
Link: "Women are amazing."
Edward shrugged meaninglessly: "That's how life is. You always think you are the most powerful and smartest one, and then you are fooled around by others."
Link: "Why didn't she cut off your head and exchange it for money?"
Edward: "We're getting married."
Link: "That jump is a bit big. What about the middle part?"
Edward: "Four years later, she came back with two children. They were both picked up from Syracuse, and they recognized her as their godmother. At that time, Penny said that she couldn't take care of these children by herself. Now she is old enough to be my bride.”
Link: "You just agreed?"
"What else?" Edward shrugged helplessly: "I was angry at the time and itched my teeth with hatred, but when I saw the children, it was like Penny knew that I had no resistance to these brats, and that was her gold medal to avoid death! She She took advantage of me, she knew my weaknesses, she almost took advantage of me, she would talk nonsense, and put all the responsibility on me! Because I didn't reject her as a little girl, so she followed my example and couldn't refuse. These brats!"
Link: "These reasons are not valid! They are not the reasons for you to marry this bad woman!"
Edward stretched out his hand and held two invisible large treasure chests: "She went from a bud to a hibiscus."
Link: "Oh, that's okay."
"Anyway." Edward pursed his lips, and the old man took a pot of Wangyou tea from the front desk: "That's it, Penny and I have spent a lifetime, and she has never lied to me again."
Link: "Are you sure?"
Edward: "I must have cheated, but I don't know."
Link: "Hahahahaha"
Edward: "I like human blood very much. I don't know where this little angel came from - the two little dolls she brought me made me stop eating this snack and never suck blood again. Try to Eat human food.”
Link: "How amazing."
Edward: "I can't kill people and suck blood in front of children. Link, you know this. Just like men will quit smoking for women and become heroes for children. They must be role models."
Link: "It's amazing."
The two of them walked all the way out——
——Riding on the three-wheeled motorcycle, Edward sent the teapot to Link's arms, and Link sat in the cargo compartment.
Edward: "When she left, I felt younger."
Link: "What does walking mean?"
Edward: "It's a poetic way of writing! Don't you understand fucking poetry? Do I have to tell you! She smokes and drinks, and she is over ninety years old! The bed stinks with feces and urine! I have to change her diaper! I I need to help her stretch her muscles! I have to say my name over and over again! Don’t I want her to hand over all my property to someone else when she signs the will!? I almost gave her all my property to take care of! I love her! Even if she”
Edward made another gesture of lifting the treasure chest.
"Even if she no longer has the body of Shui Hibiscus - even if she is old."
The old butler pointed to his head.
"But I remember, I remember."
Link: "Ohhhhh!"
Edward: "When she left, I felt younger."
Link: "Finally escaped from the clutches of the devil?"
Edward shook his head.
"I went back to the age of eight. That year, a border arbiter killed my parents in front of me, just because their skin was tanned and red by the harsh sun, and they could be passed off as Indians. In exchange for money. I cried for a long time. The two little ones I raised had gray beards, but they advised me not to be emotional - I looked no more than thirty years old at that time."
Link: "This Penny has made a profit without losing money."
Edward glared at Qedrink fiercely.
Link immediately stopped talking.
Edward did not continue the story, nor did he say much about how he came to the Royal Hotel Hedland.
During this trip, they wanted to bring some condolences gifts to the VIPs, which was the specialty of the specially appointed teahouse, Wangyou tea, to replenish the mental energy consumed by this struggle and battle.
Crossing the platform corridor of Huangniu Town and boarding the armed train——
——The eldest sister smiled kindly at Mr. Edward.
"Help me, little angel." Edward brought the tea.
Xueming was surprised: "You won't arrest me?"
Edward's eyes were cunning, as if he had expected it.
"No one can catch you."
Everyone in the carriage is in danger——
——There are lizardmen from the Astral Gang trembling.
——The two sisters Duran and Flavia hugged each other, as if they were about to say the most important parting in their lives.
——The governor of the forty-eighth district and his wife and daughter looked ashen.
——Lawrence has become a piece of rotten flesh, no longer human.
These people and things tell another story of chivalry——
——Hasben was still asking endlessly.
"Sister! Please marry me!"
Edward stepped down from the iron steps of the train and spoke to Link.
"Listen, before this story is finished, someone will always continue to tell it."
Link suddenly understood and smiled again: "Hahahaha! Something bad is going to be in trouble!"
A cup of hot tea was delivered to the governor of the 48th District, Van Persie, asking them to maintain the best mental state and explain everything clearly.
The eldest sister sat opposite the family of three, taking off her laurel crown and looking coldly in the eyes.
"Go on, drink when you are thirsty."
