What is a super villain?

Chapter 118 The First Lesson

Coming out of the old dog clinic, Yan Yang took Lu Nansheng to the Scavengers Street again.

The lower urban area does not have the accurate and convenient map navigation as the upper urban area. You build a little house and I build a little bit. The road that was in good condition yesterday will be impassable today.Finding the way depends entirely on memory. When Lu Nansheng was the hero of Rose, she spent most of her time flying without any trouble. Now she walks on the ground and becomes dizzy.

It seems chaotic, but there is actually a rule at work that outsiders can't feel.

Perhaps it is because of the scarcity of jobs, people who have nothing to do and play cards and watch boxing matches on the street are everywhere.

Lu Nansheng also saw the homeless man lying on the side of the road who was completely immersed in the virtual world. The immersive helmet was connected to the socket of the prosthetic body behind his head, flickering intermittently.

A few years ago, homeless people were one of the direct factors causing the chaos in the downtown area. After the free immersive virtual helmets became popular, they became common garbage on the street.

An eyesore, but mild and harmless.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yang asked.

Lu Nansheng shook his head and said, "I thought these people only wear immersion helmets like this at night."

Hero Rose usually only dispatches at night. She thought that these people would sleep on the side of the road because they were poor and couldn't afford to rent a place to live. They still had a place to work during the day.

Yan Yang took a glance and then withdrew his gaze, but he did not mock or disdain:
"People who have jobs in the downtown area will go to capsule hotels or deep sleep houses no matter how bad they are. These are people who are waiting to die. They surf the Internet on weekdays and go to collect relief food when they are distributed. They barely survive."

"Relief food?"

Lu Nansheng was curious, and immediately reacted after seeing Yan Yang's eyes.

The only organization that distributes relief food for free on these streets is the 'Lu Nansheng Foundation', which belongs to eating melons and eating them on their own heads.

"Not only these vagrants, but also many orphans and helpless old people on the streets rely on relief food. The food distributed is very small, and sometimes there is moldy bread from rotten millet, but it has indeed saved a large number of people. .”

Yan Yang said while walking.

Lu Nansheng just wanted to explain Yan Yang and interrupted her:
"I know Yaya that's not your intention. Corruption is everywhere in Rose City, and you've done enough."

Yan Yang looked towards the side of the road: "At least give these people a way out."

Lu Nansheng clenched his fist, and it took a long time before he let go.

She couldn't help but secretly sighed in her heart, if she hadn't walked the streets of the lower city herself, she might never have known these things in her entire life.

She has been managing the foundation herself since she was an adult, and she did not expect it to become a breeding ground for parasites.

But no one will come to distribute food in the future, and the foundation has been canceled by the municipal department since her accident.

Going forward, from morning to noon, they officially stepped into the scope of Scavengers Street.

Before Lu Nansheng had a closer look at the street signs on Scavengers Street, he heard rude and obscene curses from a distance:

"Little brat, you're tired of working, aren't you? How dare you steal something from the Bubble Gang? After you catch him, you dare to run away. Let's see if I break your leg."

"Obviously it's mine! It's mine! You bastards just steal money from kids!"

"Do you still dare to speak hard? Court death!"

"Let go of me, I'll kill you trash who bully children!"

"..."

You can hear what happened before you get close, and Lu Nansheng directly enters the stage as a hero.

"Let go of that child!"

The three Bubble Gang members who were pulling the little boy were stunned on the spot and looked back at her.

"Who are you!"

The second child of the three Bubble Brothers stepped forward to yell and was stopped by the elder brother.

The eldest brother was not sure and asked: "Are you the hero of the rose?"

"What? Hero Rose? The reborn military lady who let the young lady live and don't want to live, but has a brain to help us out?" Bubble helped the third brother blurt out.

The boss slapped the third child, telling him not to talk too much.

Lu Nansheng took two steps forward: "I'm the rose hero you said had a brain hole, let go of the child again."

Bubble helped the boss spit twice into the palm of his hand:
"Hero Rose, you don't know something. This kid is a habitual offender on Scavengers Street. He steals things every now and then. Which neighborhood on the street hasn't been stolen by him?"

"We just want to get back what was stolen and give him a memory."

"Ah, yes, that's right."

The other two younger brothers nodded quickly.

Lu Nansheng frowned, seeing what this gangster said didn't look like a lie.

"Anyway, let him go first."

she said again.

Holding the child's foam to help the third brother, the second child looked at the eldest brother after hearing the words, the eldest brother hesitated and then said slowly:
"Since you say that, let go first."

The second child let go of the child upon hearing this.

This pine messed things up.

The child had already spotted the pistol on the third child's waist, and the moment he regained his freedom, he ran over and snatched the gun in his hand.

He familiarly opened the insurance and shouted frantically:
"Go to hell! Garbage!"

The bullets flew around, and the second child fell down without any reaction; the eldest child reacted quickly and lay down on the side, but was also shot in the stomach and calf; the third child cried out "Second brother!" in grief and anger, and then pulled out the other gun shooting.

The child's head exploded and died suddenly on the spot.

In an instant, the tragedy of two deaths and one injury happened before Lu Nansheng's eyes.

"Second brother! Second brother, wake up!"

"Brother, are you okay, can you hold on? Let's go to the doctor!"

The third child held the eldest in his arms and shouted at her angrily:
"It's all your fault! It's you who told Second Brother to let go of that little bastard!"

Lu Nansheng was stunned on the spot, totally lost.

……

By the time he came out of the black clinic on Scavengers Street, it was already evening.

Yan Yang and Lu Nansheng thanked Leng Chongyang: "Fortunately, Leng Gangzhu helped, otherwise things will be troublesome."

"No, it's easy."

Leng Chongyang, who rushed over specially, waved his hands and solemnly said to Lu Nansheng:
"Hero Rose, I know you are a good person. But if you want to be a hero in the downtown area, you must have the ability to distinguish between good and bad. You can't judge a person's essence just by appearance."

The words are very euphemistic.

After finishing speaking, Leng Chongyang walked out: "I will take a step before the matter is over, and I will leave."

When Leng Chongyang left, Lu Nansheng almost lost his footing and fell on Yan Yang.

"I didn't expect this to happen."

Her tone was very aggrieved. It was the first day she came to the downtown area, and the first thing she did was such a result.

"There's still a lot to learn, Yaya."

Yan Yang hugged her like hugging a sister who needed care:

"It's like this here, there are no good people and no bad people, even good people and bad people."

The three brothers of the Bubble Gang who were killed or injured, according to the neighbors, they were friendly and would help with work and protect their neighbors, but the Bubble Gang mainly engaged in organ trading and usury, and there were many debtors who were beaten to death by them for digging out kidneys.Are they bad guys?
The kid who shot the gun, his sister couldn't even walk, and he raised his sister strong alone. It seemed inspirational, but he had robbed and killed many times at a young age.Is he a good guy?

The last one was Leng Chongyang, who was generous and generous, and came to help without saying a word when he received the news, but the Qiulin Gang competed with other gangs for territory on Wildfire Street, killing people every day.Is he a good guy or a bad guy?
Pure good and evil cannot distinguish human attributes. Lu Nansheng has grown up a lot, but she is still caught in the original heroic narrative, believing that justice will eventually defeat evil.

Yan Yang didn't mean to preach or accuse Lu Nansheng, in her opinion Lu Nansheng just lacked personal experience.

Before Lu Nansheng, the elites in the upper city never regarded the lower city as part of the Rose City.

This is just a dumping ground for [corollas] and [flower stamens], a place of exile, an organ freezer, and a dumping market.Mercenaries, wanted criminals, the poor, losers...everything that can't be accommodated in the upper city gathers in the streets and alleys of the lower city.

The low-rise and cramped contiguous houses have become a hotbed for gangs and criminals. If the strictest laws are used, many people should sit in prison.

Hopefully this will be the first lesson Lu Nansheng learns after becoming part of the street:
Don't be impulsive and meddle in your own business.

Because you can't tell if you're a hero in stopping violence or an accomplice in crime.

The lesson is always profound, Lu Nansheng is lucky that she is never the one who pays the price.

"Let's go, go to the apartment first, today has been delayed a lot."

Yan Yang said to her.

"Ah."

Lu Nansheng followed Yan Yang step by step, and at the same time clenched his fists again.

"Yan Yang."

"Ok?"

"You and your companion, what were your previous titles?"

"They're called 'Nightcrawlers,' but I'm not in."

Yan Yang asked:

"People are gone, and now this title is also in the past tense... What's wrong?"

"Nightwalker." Lu Nansheng murmured to himself.

If she wants to blend into the street, she naturally needs to have a street title.

And it was planned before that, after going to the street, I will no longer fight alone, but will find some like-minded people.

"From today onwards, I am a member of 'Nightcrawler'."

"OK?"

Yan Yang didn't react for a while.

Lu Nansheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think the name is not bad. Do you know, Yan Yang, what kind of job is suitable for me in the lower city?"

"Of course there is work."

It was not Yan Yang who answered her, but a man who suddenly appeared on the street, wearing a purple robe and copper hollow jewelry.

The man was on the side of the road, with a table and tarot cards in front of him, and a girl playing a retro gamepad with him.

The man said to Lu Nansheng mysteriously:

"I saw your future, Hero Rose, do you want to do a divination?"

"who are you?"

This time it was Yan Yang who took the initiative to protect Lu Nansheng.

People dressed up as gods and ghosts in the lower city are also troublesome. There are many religious associations here, such as dream gods, network gods, earth gods, machine gods...

It's not a serious organization, and the members are very fanatical and desperate for others.

You may not be able to get rid of it for several months.

"I am a gypsy fortune-teller named Yan, the flame of the soul." The fortuneteller said with a mysterious smile, "I am also a middleman and broker in Scavengers Street."

"Pretending to be a ghost, since when did there be a middleman in Scavengers Street?"

Only the larger blocks will have mercenaries and cyberpunks gathered, and there will also be middlemen.It's the same as opening a shop, there are more customers in prosperous places, but fewer customers in remote places.

Of course, if the "shop" is famous, it's another story.

Yan Yang pulled Lu Nansheng: "Let's go and ignore her."

"Huayin Amber...or Miss Yan Yang."

The fortune teller called Po Yan Yang's name: "Don't be too anxious, don't you want to know where your companions are?"

Yan Yang trembled all over, then said coldly:
"I don't know what you're talking about. They're already dead. Don't blame me for being rude if you keep pestering them."

The fortune teller smiled and said nothing, took out a tarot card, raised his hand and flipped the card into Lu Nansheng's hand.

Lu Nansheng lowered his head to check, and the row was full of Ukiyo-e-style people with sickles on their backs.

[XIII Reaper]
There is a row of small characters printed on the bottom of the row:
[Since humans ate the fruit of wisdom, they have become destined travelers... Following the route shown by Arcana, there is a faint hope for the future.But Arcana also shows that what awaits at the end of the journey is the absolute end!The end of anyone will be death. ]
Turning over the face of the card, there is a business card information on the back that has nothing to do with the front, with the fortune teller's name, phone number and store location written on it.

"Please go ahead, both of you, this time of divination is just to make friends."

The fortune teller raised his hand as a gesture of invitation: "Don't forget that I am still a middleman. If you want to entrust, you can find me at the address on the business card. I promise to introduce you to a job that is completely satisfactory."

After finishing speaking, Yan Yang finally pulled Lu Nansheng away quickly.

Only the sound of the girl next to the fortune-teller rubbing the controller was left, and finally the game screen showed a big failure.

"I'm hungry~"

The girl put down the handle and said in an ethereal voice.

The fortune teller smiled softly and patted the girl's head:
"Close up the stall today, let's go home for dinner."
