Zhou Jinru was very calm and asked: "Isn't it possible?"
"This is your choice. I have no right to interfere, but you have to know that this is Gotham. As you saw just now, those congressmen are aristocrats in the traditional sense. They will not tolerate anyone pointing fingers at them, even Victoria. Same thing!"
"I know."
Silver Fox stared. She didn't care about the life and death of those Sakaz people at all. Even if they all died, it had nothing to do with her. But what happened to the man in front of her, if it were him before, he would be just as indifferent as herself. , but now he plans to intervene, not caring what will happen.
"I don't know what happened to you, but, Zhou, why do you want to help those Sakaz people? Do they do you any good?"
Zhou Jinru shook his head. The Sakaz people at the moment were not only not good for him, but even if the time was moved to 1098, it would be difficult to have a good reaction. However, he could not tolerate himself to stand aside and be a cold-eyed spectator.
"Athos, I understand you. There is no need for you to participate. It has nothing to do with you in the first place."
Even though she had little contact and little understanding, Zhou Jinru also knew very well what kind of person Yin Hu was. She valued herself more than others and was only interested in what she wanted to do.
"You're a madman! You've gone mad!"
Silver Fox suddenly taunted loudly, kicked away a discarded tin can on the roadside, pointed at Zhou Jinru's nose, and angrily said: "You want to be a hero, you want to be a good man, are those victorian thieves infected you, or have you already Back in the second year of junior high school, my mind is filled with unrealistic fantasies?!"
Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand to pry away her fingertips and said calmly: "The story of the knight-errant has been circulated for a long time because the people at the bottom are dissatisfied with the oppression of the rulers. The unrealistic fantasy of the second grade of junior high school is because they can only express their emotions through fantasy. Athos , you are wrong, I am telling you this not to ask you to help me, I am telling you what I am going to do, and I don’t mean to discuss it with you, don’t get me wrong.”
"Then be a hero yourself!"
Silver Fox walked away angrily.
Just as Zhou Jinru was about to use his legs to return to the hotel, the ugly internal combustion car drove over, and the female driver honked the horn at him, as if to vent her anger.
"I hate you!"
"Me too."
Yinhu went crazy, grabbed the passenger's bag and threw it hard on Zhou Jinru, threw his face to the other side, and said bitterly: "Get in the car!"
He did not refuse this matter, after all, it was a waste of time to travel with both legs.
The two of them ignored each other along the way. The broken car drove them back to the hotel, but they were stopped unexpectedly.
A pair of heavily armed guards blocked the door of the hotel. One of them shouted loudly: "The Gotham City Guard is enforcing the law, and everyone else is waiting to retreat!"
Silver Fox was already very angry. When he saw this scene, he exploded on the spot and reprimanded loudly: "There is something wrong with the hotel I'm staying in. Why didn't I know?!"
"Ma'am, please be careful with your words," the guard said. He was not ignorant. He could not afford to offend anyone who could drive an internal combustion car. If he was not careful, he would be in danger. "We got a tip that this hotel is harboring demons." Dude, a search is underway right now.”
"How can there be Sakaz people here?"
Silver Fox was surprised. She had learned that all the Sakaz people had been captured before moving in. Why did they appear again now?
Zhou Jinru said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I am very curious about who you are trying to arrest. How can you persist for such a long time like half a month?"
Compared with the grumpy lady, this gentleman's words sounded much more comfortable, and he was also very polite, which made people feel at ease.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the guard in charge of the blockade said seriously: "The person we want to arrest is the female apprentice who is responsible for supplying the hotel's gift cakes. She is hiding here."
Zhou Jinru narrowed his eyes, so he has something to do with that concierge?
"So that's it. Do you think this lady and I look like Sakaz?"
"It doesn't look like that."
The guard shook his head.
Ms. Filling could tell from her appearance, and this gentle gentleman was even less likely.
"Since we are not targets, there is no problem if we return to the hotel, right?"
That seems to be the case.
After all, these two people are not easy to mess with. At this point, the guard decided to take a step back. Being too tough will only cause trouble for himself.
"You can be released, but you cannot interfere with the ongoing search."
As the car drove past the guard's blockade, Silver Fox looked at the man next to him in disbelief. Even a child couldn't be fooled by those words, but how could he fool him with just a few words?
Zhou Jinru didn't speak, he didn't want to explain, and he didn't want to tell Yinhu about his special ability now.
The premise for the guidance of emotions to be effective is that the other party has corresponding emotions in their heart. The effect of forced guidance is very weak. The guard must first be afraid of their identity before he can be quietly guided, making him make a decision that meets Zhou Jinru's expectations.
"Instead of asking why I can do it, you might as well think about why the concierge secretly hid the female Sakaz apprentice. I think he is quite young. It must be a relationship issue. Only in this way will he take risks. Hiding people in a hotel is indeed a good idea, the most dangerous place is the safest place, but why was he discovered?"
Silver Fox curled his lips, you said everything I wanted to say, what else do you want me to say?
After parking the car, the two walked into the front hall of the hotel and found a dozen guards standing here. When they saw someone coming in, they nervously pulled out their weapons and pointed them at them.
"Put down your weapons, I'm not kidding, otherwise you won't all end well, I promise!"
"what happened?!"
A man wearing a black armed uniform appeared in the front hall, his sharp eagle eyes scanning the faces of Yin Hu and Zhou Jinru.
I don’t know the man next to me and doesn’t appear in the file, but the little Ms. Filin knows that Silver Fox, who represents many consortiums in Victoria, has a mysterious identity and background, but he is so powerful that even the members of the Parliament can only Nodding and bowing.
Why did the guards at the door let people in?
After thinking about it, the man in the armed uniform still yelled: "All of you, put down your weapons! It's too dangerous, you can't use weapons on our distinguished guests!"
"Ms. Silver Fox, why are you here?"
"I live here!"
Pretending to be confused, Silver Fox looked around and said coldly: "Derek, do you want to capture me too?"
"How could it be? You are a guest of Gotham, a very distinguished guest!"
"You sent so many people here to protect me?"
Silver Fox was not polite at all. Every word he said was like a slap in the other person's face.
The officer named Derek tried hard to explain: "Madam, there is sufficient evidence that there is a ferocious demon hiding in this hotel. I suspect that it is those guys who are targeting you. The danger has not been ruled out yet. Please first I will avoid it and come back after we catch the person, please be sure to ensure your own safety!"
"I'm safe here, and my personal doctor is here. I bet that all of you combined are no match for him alone!"
Is this person the Silver Fox's personal doctor?
Why have I never heard of it before? Are they experts from Victoria?
Derek couldn't help but take another look. The tall and thin man was wearing a mask. Only his lips and chin could be seen. He was very mysterious.
The silver fox said what he said, meaning that I don't take your protection seriously at all, but Derek will not challenge her personal doctor just because of a provocation. Such a troublemaking fool would have been killed long ago.
"You can go back to your room. This is the greatest grace I can give. Please don't embarrass me."
Derek thought about it and decided not to provoke Silver Fox. Even if he couldn't catch the female apprentice in the cake shop, it didn't matter. Anyway, it was impossible for a demon guy to cause any big trouble.
Those demons who are still wandering around Gotham City are trying to find ways to rescue their compatriots. Doing this within the scope of the laws of the tower is what everyone wants to see.
Even if someone scolds them behind their backs, even if they are treated unfairly, even if they are like now, they will still compromise, think it is their fault, and even look at their compatriots with extremely harsh eyes in order to integrate into Gotham.
By the way, one congressman said it right, this is called convert fanaticism.
In fact, in the eyes of Gotham people, these demons are worse than beasts of burden.
Derek didn't care at all about the female apprentice.
…
Zhou Jinru was always observing Derek in Yinhu's mouth. This officer was more concerned about whether he would offend Yinhu. As for arresting people, that was just incidental.
He thought in his heart that the Sakaz people were willing to compromise in such a harsh environment, which was not in line with the name of their demon clan.
Is it because Kazdael has been destroyed for a long time, or is it because the Sarkazi desperately want a sense of belonging?
Maybe both.
He couldn't help but think of a Sakaz youth he met a long time ago. He was a talented young man who sacrificed everything for a better life and no longer had to live in exile. In the end, he still failed to get the life he deserved.
A powerful Kazdel is extremely important to the Sarkarz people, and it is also what they long for.
Zhou Jinru pushed open the door of his room and reached out to turn on the light. The light instantly filled the room. His movements stopped because someone pressed a knife against his waist.
"Why?"
he asked softly.
"Do not talk!"
The young woman's voice trembled because of fear. Her hands were weak in Zhou Jinru's eyes, and the knife was even more fragile, unable to lower the rigid shield even a little.
But he slowly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.
"You, come here slowly, no small movements allowed!"
Zhou Jinru followed what she said and walked into the room.
He finally saw the gangster's face clearly. The bloodless face was full of fear. She held the knife with both hands. The thin blade was difficult to even cut a steak, let alone threaten a strong adult. male.
Suddenly, the girl's vision went dark, then her wrist became sore, the knife was taken away, and she was thrown onto the large double bed with a huge force.
The movement in the room attracted the attention of the search personnel, but due to their identities, they did not dare to come in and search.
"Sir, what happened inside?"
Zhou Jinru said calmly: "It's nothing, I accidentally hit the table."
"That's it. Please be careful and call us if anything happens."
It wasn't until the person at the door left that Zhou Jinru turned back to look at the girl hiding on the other side of the double bed.
He grabbed the table knife in his hand, nailed it to the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Miss, this can't kill people, you have to use this."
He grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, pulled out a short knife from his cuff, and slapped it next to the table knife.
"Why are you helping me?"
Although the girl was scared, seeing Zhou Jinru acting like this, she slowly relaxed, but her eyes were still full of caution.
"Because you don't dare to point a knife at them, but you dare to point a knife at me."
Hearing these words, the girl was ashamed, her face turned red, her lips pursed, and she could not say anything.
Zhou Jinru sat down and poured himself a glass of water: "What's your name?"
"Abigail."
"The female apprentice in the cake shop?"
"yes."
She seemed to accept her fate, lowered her head, and answered whatever Zhou Jinru asked.
"Are you in a relationship with the hotel concierge?"
Abigail raised her head and denied, "No, I have nothing to do with him. He is attracted to me and I don't want to."
"real?"
"real."
Zhou Jinru took a sip and shook his head: "I will take what you said as true. Have you figured out how to get out of this room today?"
The girl's face was pale. If this man wanted to get something, she had no choice but to commit suicide.
Snapped.
The glass was placed on the coffee table. After Zhou Jinru drank the water, he exhaled a breath: "Tell me, how did the Sakaz people end up like this? It's best to tell the truth, don't lie to me."
How did he...
Abigail was surprised by his behavior and didn't understand what he was trying to do.
…
The content of the Sarkaz girl's narrative is not much different from what Silver Fox told him. The only difference is that Silver Fox believes that the Sarkaz people made too much noise and caused dissatisfaction with the Gotham Council, while the female apprentice's perspective The Sakaz people are generally treated differently and discriminated against. They are running for their own rights, but they do not expect that what awaits them is incredible iron fists and persecution.
Zhou Jinru said casually: "If you were given a choice, would you stay in this city or leave here?"
leave here?
The Sakaz girl fell silent. It seemed that before the man mentioned it, she was still thinking about how to survive here. There was still a trace of hope in her heart. Maybe the parliament could give them justice?
"I have no idea."
She answered honestly.
"The standard answer, I think so."
Zhou Jinru stood up, his actions startled the girl, and he thought he was going to do something to her.
The man looked calm: "Stay in the room and don't go out. I think there is no safer place except here."
