,!
As dusk approached, there were very few pedestrians on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.
A woman with a sallow complexion and muscles that seemed to be malnourished, with almost half of her hair missing, eyes as dull as a puppet, and skin and bones, was stumbling along while holding on to the wall, as if she would fall down at any time in the next second.
Plop!
The woman fell heavily to the ground and made a groaning sound.
The few pedestrians passing by did not lend a helping hand to the man, but all looked at him with contempt and disgust.
It’s not that Americans have no conscience, but people like this are very common in Hell’s Kitchen.
There are thousands of drug addicts like this in Hell's Kitchen, and their basic situation is similar to her. In the end, they become neither human nor ghosts.
Even drug dealers don't bother to talk to them, let alone other people.
The skinny woman finally crawled to the corner of the street and leaned against a broken wooden door, breathing heavily. There was a hint of deep despair in her dim eyes.
"God, please, let me take another breath."
In this case, what she was thinking about was not taking a bite, but taking another bite.
This absurd and ridiculous wish is the deepest wish of every addict.
Perhaps her desire was so strong that it impressed someone who was not God.
Squeak——
The rotten door shaft made a screeching sound, and the old wooden door opened inwards.
The addict couldn't help but fell backwards and fell into the broken wooden door. She turned over weakly and saw a carved crimson door deep in the corridor. She seemed to be attracted by something and unconsciously crawled over.
When she finally climbed into the door after all the hard work, her mouth opened wide when she looked at the luxurious and primitive furnishings.
"Hello, this is an equal-price exchange shop that responds to requests."
A cute girl with twin ponytails and a maid outfit appeared in front of her carrying a broom, tilted her head and said cutely: "I'm Xiaoyu, do you need anything?"
"Response to all requests, equal exchange?" The addict couldn't react for a while.
"That's right, as long as you are willing to pay the price here, you can get everything you want in exchange."
Xiaoyu read seriously what the shopkeeper had told her before leaving.
"I...I want drugs, but I don't have money, is that okay?" The addict swallowed, staring at the girl in front of him with his thin and shriveled eyeballs, with a little pleading in his voice.
"Hmm..." Xiao Yu held her fingers in her mouth, tilted her head to think, shook her head and said, "No, the shop owner has said that she refuses pornography, gambling and drugs."
"..."
The drug addict is numb, and the corners of his eyes are twitching crazily.
Earlier, I said I could get everything I wanted in exchange, but now I said I refused pornography, gambling and drugs?
"Please, I only need a little bit, I'm willing to give everything!" The addict, who had been pushed to the edge, completely abandoned everything, grabbed the girl's clothes, and begged: "Just give me a little bit." Yes, I’ll give you whatever you want!”
"No, uncle."
Xiaoyu shook her head again and firmly refused: "The shop owner said that he refuses pornography, gambling and drugs."
There was a flash of resentment in the eyes of the addict. If she hadn't eaten for a few days and she didn't have any strength at all now, she would have taken out a knife and stabbed the girl severely.
"However, I can help you get rid of your drug addiction, eldest sister."
Xiaoyu said cutely: "And the price you pay is very small. It only requires half of your soul."
"Get rid of drug addiction? Haha... If you can do it, then do it." The addict smiled miserably, collapsed on the ground, and said with dull eyes: "I have tried it many times. , people like me... can’t escape it anymore.”
"So, deal's done."
Xiaoyu is very happy, this is her first independent transaction.
Without waiting for the addict to speak, she held him up with one hand and skipped to the depths of the hall, to a door leading to the underground space.
After passing through the long staircase corridor, they came to the underground space.
While the addict was marveling at the structure of the underground space, Xiaoyu suddenly accelerated, accompanied by bursts of screams, and huge wind waves were pulled around him, and billowing dust and smoke rushed towards somewhere in the underground space.
Soon, the addict's screams gradually became quieter, and the whole person was exhaling more air than inhaling.
You must know that she was already very weak, and after being tortured like this, it was a miracle that she survived.
After arriving at the destination, in front of a steaming hot spring, Xiao Yu noticed the condition of the addict. She covered her mouth in surprise and whispered: "Ah... no, the eldest sister is dying!"
Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay, after all, this was her first customer, and she would definitely be scolded if she died.
So, she stripped the addict naked and threw him into the steaming hot spring pool.
The unconscious drug addict soaked in the water in the hot spring, and then sank little by little.
Xiao Yu clapped her hands, nodded on the shore, and said to herself: "Well... the shop owner said that no matter what the disease is, it can be cured by just throwing it in, so it should be fine."
Then, she suddenly remembered something: "Ah, the bathroom hasn't been cleaned yet. I'm going to clean it."
After that, Xiaoyu didn't care about the person who was thrown into the pool, turned around and ran away and disappeared at the end.
Gululu...Gululu...
Bubbles emerged one after another in the steaming hot spring water.
The addict who had been sinking slowly floated up again, and his originally skinny body was gradually returning to normal.
However, a dark shadow stretched out around her body.
The shadow seemed to have self-awareness, spreading along the hot spring water to the shore, and then actually broke away from the ground and stood upright like a piece of paper.
No one saw this extremely weird scene.
The silhouette-like black shadow suddenly inflated like a balloon, and in just a few seconds, it turned into a naked man.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to sneak in."
The man moved his hands and feet, turned his gaze to the hot spring, and sneered: "Thanks to this scum-like waste, otherwise it might not be so simple if I came in by myself."
As he spoke, the man's body was filled with moonlight, and then he put on a bandage-like battle suit.
The mark of the moon emerged from his forehead.
The man smiled coldly, then looked around and said, "Now, let me see what secrets are hidden here."
His speed was extremely fast, like a bright white light, rushing through the underground space.
“What a big space...”
The more he explored, the more shocked he became.
The area of this underground space is far larger than that of New York City. It is by no means a miracle that can be built by manpower.
Moreover, not only that, he also discovered that there was a blue sky and white clouds above the underground space.
If high-tech projection was excluded, he really didn't know who could create a sky that was so realistic that it was almost indistinguishable from the real blue sky and white clouds.
When he was halfway through his exploration, he suddenly saw wisps of scarlet mist gathering in the north, like a tide and a sea.
The violently churning and roaring scarlet clouds were accompanied by waves of depressing feelings.
Roar--!
A roar that was like tearing apart the sky, mixed with anger and murderous intent, resounded in his ears.
The terrifying murderous intention was like a substance, turning into a rolling tidal wave, violently impacting his mind. An extremely heavy sense of oppression came from all directions, making his mind tremble in an instant!
The next moment, scarlet clouds and mist were wrapped in thunder, and a violent figure suddenly approached him.
