Chapter 31 The old city is full of dangers
After listening to her friend's story, Luo Ning pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, there is something wrong with the clerk in my restaurant?"
"That's right."
Chun Xiaoxiao, whose mouth was dry as mentioned earlier, took the opportunity to pick up the cup of hot coffee on the table and took a sip without caring about the image at all.
"Where's the evidence?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing? What evidence do I need?" Chun Xiaoxiao said rationally: "How could an ordinary student who was unknown for the first seventeen years of his life develop such strong strength in a short period of time! You are also suitable for this. A capable person, you should also understand that the accumulation of strength cannot be accomplished overnight."
"Then how can you be sure that he wasn't pretending before?" Luo Ning said with a serious face.
The two grew up together and went to the same school from elementary school to university. They can be called "childhood sweethearts" and know each other very well.
In fact, Chun Xiaoxiao knew what Luo Ning would say when she came here. When they met several times before, she didn't tell him about her mission to Qinggang City this time. Although, the other party may have already guessed it.
"That's why I need your help in the investigation." Chun Xiaoxiao put her arms around Luo Ning's arm in a coquettish tone, and pressed her soft breasts against her arm, saying, "He is an employee of your restaurant. Do you want to It’s not easy to investigate him.”
Luo Ning didn't quite believe that Gao Chen was the folk knight, although she was surprised when she heard that Gao Chen could push 150 kilograms.
But the strength displayed by that folk knight was not all based on brute force.
"Okay, I can help you investigate him." Luo Ning said, "But I want to make it clear that helping you investigate does not mean helping the foundation. You have to make it clear to Li Xunde that I will not go back."
"You are the best, my little Luo Ning!"
Chun Xiaoxiao held her arm harder.
...
Beiqiao Street.
The motorcycle ran over the sewage, splashing large turbid water splashes. The mice, which were not much smaller than cats, were frightened and ran over the chassis of Gao Chen's motorcycle.
The air was filled with the rotten stench coming from an unknown food processing factory.
Viewed from a high altitude, the city of Qinggang is divided into two boundaries by a river. The industrial old city is to the north, and the new city is being planned to the south.
If the two places were not connected by two bridges in the middle, one would have thought they were two cities just based on the city's polarized appearance.
The old city is too dilapidated and dilapidated to the point where there are many bungalows left over from the industrial era. Many farmers come from the countryside to make a living, as well as people like Qing Mo who have come to this 18th-tier city for unknown reasons. of travelers.
"Can you walk me to my door?"
On the back seat of the motorcycle, Qing Mo asked in a low voice.
"Can."
Gao Chen did not refuse. Everyone has already been sent here, so what can I do if I twist the accelerator twice more?
The last few times I sent Qing Mo back, I always dropped him off at the intersection. Today was the first time I drove into this industrial housing area full of chronological atmosphere.
Gao Chen rode very slowly all the way in. Although there were bungalows on both sides, there were not many pedestrians and the road was narrow, making it still difficult to walk.
The doors of the houses on both sides faced the roadside, and the doors and windows were locked. It should be to guard against insect infestations. Some even blocked the windows with wooden boards.
The interior is pitch black, with uneven wooden planks, making it somewhat scary to see.
When Gao Chen passed these houses, he always felt that there were pairs of deep eyes peering at him from the gaps in the sealed wooden boards.
"We're here. My family lives in the building over there."
Qing Mo patted Gao Chen's shoulder with his hand and pointed to a bungalow on the left side of the road.
It's not much different from other houses around it. Visually, it covers an area of about 40 square meters.
The two of them walked outside. The door was unlocked. Looking inside, they could see a long corridor with two wooden doors on each side. There was no living room, no kitchen, or even a toilet. There was only a walkway connecting the room door to the main door. connected.
"I live in the innermost room on the left."
Compared to before, Qing Mo talked a lot more today.
Gao Chen asked: "Can I go in and have a look?"
Qing Mo originally wanted to shake his head, but then nodded again: "Okay, my house is just a little messy, don't mind..."
Gao Chen stepped in and his figure was swallowed up by darkness.
The weather was sunny, but the room was extremely dark, and a musty smell filled the air.
The walls are mottled and uneven.
The ceiling is also pitifully low, giving you the illusion of walking with bricks on your head.
If the economic development of later generations is followed, this bungalow area will soon be bulldozed by developers. Therefore, the decoration of the entire house is very simple, and the landlord probably has no intention of decorating it again.
As soon as he reached the door, Qing Mo opened it for him, and a figure came out of the room.
Gao Chen was startled, and he was about to lift his leg to kick him away, but when he saw it was a little boy about the same height as his knees, he stopped his leg in time.
"He's my brother."
Qing Mo was frightened by Gao Chen's actions. He half-crouched and picked up the little boy with his arms, and quickly said to the boy: "Xiao Liu, this is my sister's colleague, called Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen."
The little boy was wearing a clean shirt and bare feet. He was soft and weak. He looked as if he had just woken up. He squinted his eyes and rubbed them with his hands. He was about five or six years old.
Gao Chen hasn't calmed down yet. He didn't realize just now that there was another person in the room: "Hello, little brother."
Qing Mo smiled slightly: "Thank you for sending me back."
"It's okay, it should be. Besides, I'm also using the restaurant's motorcycle."
Anyway, it was a matter of convenience to see her off, and as a colleague, it was also for her safety.
Gao Chen said: "Since I have sent you home, I will go back first."
"Say goodbye to my brother." Qing Mo whispered to the little boy.
Unexpectedly, the little boy broke away from his sister's arms and ran into the house.
Qing Mo was a little embarrassed.
"Children are like this. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After that, Gao Chen said goodbye and walked out of the door.
Qing Mo turned around and returned to his room.
He looked around for the little boy from before, but he was nowhere to be seen.
The window facing the back of the house was open and swaying slightly with the wind blowing outside.
Qing Mo walked to the window and stuck her head out. The dark alley outside was empty. She muttered dissatisfiedly: "This guy Wan Liu is really always running into my room..."
...
Gao Chen was riding a motorcycle, traveling at the intersection on the original road.
Not far away, a green trash can appeared inexplicably on the road ahead. It was not crooked, but just blocked the narrow road.
After looking at both sides of the road and seeing no one, he got out of the car and pushed the trash can into the alley next to it.
Then, I dusted off the dust on my palms and prepared to get back on the motorcycle.
Whoosh——
Sudden!
Next to it, there was a sound of breaking wind coming from the alley on the left.
A huge figure, with teeth and claws bared, rushed towards him!
"That is--"
Gao Chen's pupils dilated, and a giant humanoid beast covered in fish scales was reflected in his eyes.
"Zerg!"
It's too late to say it, but it's soon!
He quickly raised his left arm to block his temple, and his right hand had already found the knight's belt in the program.
The insect covered with fish scales at the end also waved its arms that looked like pincers but not pincers, and slammed into the temple.
Bang! ! !
He shook his left arm and gritted his teeth to block.
At the same time, he buckled the belt around his waist with his right hand and inserted the driver card: "Chanshen!"
Turning his head to look at the attacking zerg, Gao Chen's eyes revealed ferocity, and a pleasant sound sounded in his ears: 'Kamen Ride! '
'DeCade! '
