Chapter 45 The Disappearance Incident
"I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Fan Liang looked up at the sky, "I am a man who lives everywhere, and I only choose to stay when I am tired."

Fan Liang is young, but seems to have a heavy past, the old shop was surprised: "Don't you have a home?"

"Home?" Fan Liang let out a "huh" and said disappointedly, "This word has long been blurred in my heart."

"You..." The old shop paused for a moment, and said, "Would you like to tell your story?"

"No." Fan Liang hugged his head in pain, "I don't want...don't want to remember anymore..."

"Yes...I'm sorry..." Laopu looked at Fan Liang apologetically, "I shouldn't bring up those things that made you sad."

"It's okay." Fan Liang leaned back and continued to look at the sky, and said in a sad tone, "A person with a heart full of holes is not afraid of being hurt."

"..."

The old shop was silent for a long time, and asked, "Will you stay here for a long time?"

"how?"

"I know you are very tired now, but you'd better get out of here." The old shop said in a serious tone.

"What do you mean?"

"There are a lot of homeless people missing around here."

The old shop has been sleeping in the park for more than 20 years. Countless unemployment made him discouraged, and he finally chose to give up on himself.The disappearance happened half a year ago. Whether it was an old friend who was familiar with the old shop or a newcomer who had just arrived, those faces full of despair in life disappeared from the old shop.

"You mean there was a homeless man named Da Qi who used to have both legs, but when you saw him again, his left leg was amputated?"

"Yes." The old shop said, "There are also a few familiar faces. Their faces are pale and bloodless. They look like they have been abused. I suspect that someone is secretly controlling them."

"What is the basis for your suspicion?"

"One day, I quietly followed Daqi and saw him and a few people enter the sewer. I thought that was the stronghold of the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Have you gone in and seen it?"

"How dare I." Lao Pu sighed heavily, "I'm afraid that I will never return."

"Have you ever tried to call the police?" After finishing speaking, Fan Liang patted his forehead, "I forgot, this kind of thing is often put on the surface, but it will never be resolved. The degree of difficulty is the same as the red light district 500 meters away from the police station. On par."

Lao Pu's shoulders obviously collapsed.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Laopu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "I plan to sneak in tonight."

"Is that really the case?" Fan Liang thought in his heart, and said, "Aren't you afraid of death? Besides, what can you change?"

"I just want to do something." Laopu smoothed the hen in his arms.

"Let's talk about a deal." Fan Liang put one hand on the old shop's shoulder, and with the other hand, he took out a business card from his pocket and held it in front of the old shop.

"Weird house..." The old shop looked at Fan Liang in surprise, "Aren't you a homeless man who lives all over the world? How did you become a practitioner?"

Fan Liang earnestly taught: "How can you believe a man's words, you must always keep in mind the truths that many girls exchanged with their own experiences."

"What's the benefit of you lying to me?" Lao Pu couldn't understand.

Fan Liang smiled and said, "It's not good, it's just interesting."

"Crazy." After cursing in his heart, the old shop asked, "What do you want?"

Fan Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "How about the chicken in your arms as a reward?"

"Don't think about it!" The old shop hugged the hen tightly, thought for a while, and said, "How about giving you a hundred...no, a thousand montage notes?"

A thousand montages can buy hundreds of chickens, but it is considered an insult to entrust a practitioner.

Fan Liang, who is poor and crazy, does not have the precious quality of self-esteem, his eyes are bright, and he said happily: "Don't go back on your word!"

Fan Liang's words and deeds made Laopu feel uneasy, "You're not kidding me again, are you?"

"Then how about doing the work first and then paying the money?"

……

"See it? It's the sewer."

In the dark bushes, Laopu and Fan Liang were lying on the grass, pointing to a manhole cover in a low voice.

Just as he was talking, a few homeless men came from a distance, opened the manhole cover and entered the sewer.

"The one walking in the middle is Da Qi?"

The homeless man in the middle lost a left foot and was helped by someone to grab the ladder and enter the sewer.

"That's right, it's him." There was hatred in Lao Pu's eyes, and he slammed his fist on the ground, "Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing such a heartless thing?!"

"Calm down first." Fan Liang said after comforting Laopu, "Have you communicated with him since he was amputated?"

"No." The old shop shook his head, "I didn't dare to touch him."

"Then have you tried communicating with other people?" Fan Liang asked for more details.

"No." The old shop still shook his head. "We used to sleep in a park, but they all disappeared overnight. Later, newcomers arrived. I reminded them, but they still... oh..."

"There's a lot of energy." Fan Liang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Do you really want to go in with me?"

"Yes, I have made up my mind."

……

The sewer was built like an underground palace, and the sewage rolled by, filled with an indescribable stench.In the dark environment, there was a light in the distance, Fan Liang and Lao Pu looked at each other, and hurried towards the light.

Less gossip.

After hearing the loud voices, Fan Liang and the two hid behind a wall and sneaked out their heads to observe.

"Have you noticed?" Fan Liang looked around, "There is no sewage flowing through here."

"Yes, I found it." The old shop replied, not only was there no sewage, but the smell in the lungs was also reduced a lot.

After finishing speaking, the two cast their eyes on a group of people sitting on the ground. They were lighting kerosene lamps. Some of them chatted together, some of them were eating, and some of them were playing cards. Most of them were familiar faces from the old shop. .

"Are you sure they are being controlled?" Fan Liang's expression became strange.

The old shop is not sure anymore, because the postures shown by everyone are very relaxed, or very happy.

After pondering for a long time, Lao Pu said: "Maybe what we see are all illusions, and it cannot be ruled out that the enemy has already discovered us."

"This... is unlikely..." Fan Liang did not sense the aura of the practitioner.

Laopu pursed his lips, "I'll go and have a look, you just stay here and don't move."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fan Liang's consent, the old shop jumped out and shouted to everyone: "Hey, big guys, I'm here to save you."

Silent.

They were all taken aback by the sudden appearance of the old shop.

"Then...that...who are you?"

Someone asked in a daze.

"Yes, who are you?"

The sound became boisterous.

"I... I am an old shop."

Suddenly, Lao Pu's heart skipped a beat. Are these old friends pretending not to know him?
