All kinds of indescribable filthy things stick to the outer wall of the archway, plus it is always wet, and there are traces of various unknown liquids seeping out. As long as you wipe it a little bit, the stench will no longer be able to get rid of, no longer relying on adjusting your breathing Rhythm can be avoided.

After quickly leaving this area, she walked for a while, and she had already left the "dark ditch" between the high wall and the row of buildings. Although all kinds of graffiti became more and more rough and unrestrained, the ground became dry and the air changed. Be clean.

Although, according to the words she heard in the pink night market, in the eyes of people in other urban areas, this entire row of buildings is full of suffocating and disgusting smells, but maybe they are used to it and adapted, as long as they are not in that " In the dark ditch, she felt very good.

Because she was very careful, although she walked close to the wall, she didn't wipe any dirt on her clothes, but there was still a faint smell coming from her feet, and the occasional passers-by would cover their noses and walk away.

She looked down, she was wearing a pair of knee-length boots with a dull metallic luster, which she found with great difficulty, but they were not only as simple as shoes, they were both her weapon and her armor. From the ankle position, everything was covered in a mess of filth.

At this moment, she was walking through a dilapidated and abandoned park, but it did not have the leisurely beauty of a park at all. Instead, it looked like a ruin that even rats would not visit after being looted countless times.

It is said that this is the masterpiece of a certain "promising government" more than [-] years ago. According to Pailou District, the ruler of that term was either a fool with a flood of brains, or a villain with utter evil deeds.

Its "promising measures" for the Xiacheng District and the Pailou District are mainly reflected in its active commitment to "improving people's happiness" in these two areas. The old row buildings were demolished, and the people who lived in them like rats and cockroaches were expelled, and they were asked to start over in other row buildings. However, these demolished row buildings were not rebuilt, but beautiful parks were built instead. .

She didn't know what happened in the lower urban area, but the sense of happiness in this row of buildings did not improve at all.

In order for those evicted to take root in the new row block, the already basically stable order in the row block instantly fell into a life-and-death war.

One party has lost its homeland and must regain its foothold, while the other party has to guard its own homeland, and if it is not careful, it will be eaten up by a group of homeless thugs.

Even though more than 20 years have passed since this incident, the aftermath in the Pailou District is still far from subdued. This is still the main conflict within the Pailou District. Most of the fights and killings in the Pailou District can be traced back to this matter.

A few years ago, another government wanted to replicate this routine, but this time instead of demolishing buildings to build parks, it demolished buildings to build theaters and entertainment venues. It can be described as an arduous resistance, and even the parties involved in the fight to the death have temporarily abandoned their mutual hatred and united to the outside world.

They are unable to face the law enforcement officers who come out of the core area, so they concentrate their energy on the specific people who do things, and do everything they can. Once a large number of specific construction workers enter the row of buildings, they are like lambs caught in the swamp. No one is alive, no one is dead, no dead body. In the end, Pailou District made this decree into a piece of waste paper.

Because of these anecdotes, it is not difficult to understand that this park, which was used to improve people's happiness, has become so dilapidated.

She went straight to a pond, which was full of all kinds of rubbish, but in her opinion, the stagnant water was already clean. She washed the dirty boots, and then strode towards the Go to the destination.

Passing through this dilapidated park, one can see a huge row building. One section of the wall is very different from other areas without any graffiti. From Zhang Yutong's understanding, this is a "demolition".

According to the government's planning, this row building should have been demolished a few years ago, but it stands here intact now.

Many people gather here, and when they pass by here, they will interact with this eye-catching big character in various ways.

Some shook their hips at it, some pointed their middle fingers at it, and made all kinds of messy noises from their mouths.

At the gate stands a huge sign made up of a pile of fitness equipment dismantled from the nearby park, Pink Night Market.

Zhang Yutong entered the gate along with the flow of people.

As soon as he entered, the colorful and gorgeous lights that seemed to want to blind people dazzled in this space.

At the same time, there is also music that can't wait to deafen people's ears. This is what she can't bear the most. It is music, but it is the most annoying noise in her ears, like nails scraping a blackboard, like a shovel The kind that scratches across the rough wall can make people's heart numb and tremble.

As soon as the other men and women entered this room, they immediately entered into another state. People who looked normal or even a little decadent at first turned into madness one by one.

The body is shaking in various ways, each one is not like a living thing, but more like a group of malfunctioning machines covered with flesh and blood skin, or the rusty one, it is said that this is very popular in the downtown area and the row of buildings. Crazy mechanical dance", plus one by one, they didn't talk about any rhythm, just opened their mouths the loudest, shouted and screamed, howling ghosts and wolves, trying to use their fleshy voices to suppress the noise that wanted to shake the whole building. The mechanical noise of the collapse is simply a group of demons dancing wildly.

Although he was extremely repulsive in his heart, in order not to make himself appear different, Zhang Yutong had to pretend to be one of them, trembling wildly and making sharp noises from time to time, while walking into the depths of the night scene.

In the depths of the night scene, there is a group of "super crazy people", they are more crazy than others, playing with various musical instruments, of course, in Zhang Yutong's view, many of them can't be called musical instruments at all, they are just noise generators , and then frantically making all kinds of noise.

But in one of the dark corners where the light cannot be seen, there is a hidden and quiet bar.

Zhang Yutong had a clear goal and walked straight over.

When she approached the bar area, there was obviously no barrier, but whether it was the dazzling lights from the outside world or the disturbing noises, they all dropped by several levels.

Apart from Zhang Yutong, there are also a few people lying down at the bar drinking wine, but the atmosphere here is too incompatible with the environment of the whole night show, and there is not only this place for drinking and rest in the night show, so few people patronize here , because those who like to be quiet will never enter the pink nightclub, so from an economic point of view, this bar is a paradox at all, and it shouldn't appear here at all.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

But it really is here.

The few men and women who were drinking and entertaining at the bar counter subconsciously turned their heads when they saw a newcomer coming in. After all, there are really not many people going here in this night market. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they at least have some eyes. edge.

When they saw that it was Zhang Yutong, they were all startled subconsciously, and the one sitting on the innermost side even moved their butt consciously to give up their seat.

And the way they looked at Zhang Yutong was a little strange.

Counting from the day of creation, taking the time of this world as a measure, Zhang Yutong has been hanging out in the row of buildings for half a year.

She took the initiative to choose a world among the "Three Difficulties" as the location for this crossing.

The information Yanxia collected about this world is also very little, and from the few information summed up and extracted, he can probably feel the road characteristics of this world. I also have a vague understanding of the road.

This big world is named [Spiritual Equipment World]. The individual advancement of life is closely related to machinery. In common understanding, flesh and blood is life, and mechanical things are non-life, while the path of the spiritual equipment world is It is to break through the barrier between life and non-life in this common cognition.

The essence of the world of spiritual tools is the utilization of tools by intelligent life, and the sublimation of this utilization step by step to the extent that technology is close to the Tao.

And every step of the Blue Star World since the sky change, Yan Xia will always step on the most correct point. Although all the things before the sky change are constantly "abolished" as the world changes, but the same, those who have not made progress in the world The things that were abolished by the rules of the world on the way have survived tenaciously, and even have great development.

For example, in the field of machinery, the series of world changes brought about by the changes in the sky did not disintegrate it, and even the steam engine can be used normally. Each camp relies heavily on things. As the only large-scale long-distance air transport vehicle, the airship stubbornly guards the "dignity" of the entire Blue Star civilization to the sky, and has not been completely "expelled" from the sky.

At that time, the Blue Star was full of strong steampunk style, and at that time, the barrier that enveloped the Blue Star due to crossing the two universes began to weaken, and all kinds of information about the Blue Star were like stars sending out The light and heat of the world inevitably spread out to this world, and were received by the world with similar roads.

Therefore, as early as more than 200 years ago, the "fate" between the Blue Star World and the Spiritual Equipment World had already been forged. It has also become less and less, but overall, this is still an indispensable and important pole for all camps in the Blue Star World.

Zhang Yutong knows better that as all the strongmen above the Nascent Soul Realm in the Blue Star World ascend, the power gap between individuals narrows. Whether it is active or passive, the "painting style" of the entire Blue Star World, the proportion of mechanization and industrialization will increase. increase.

Therefore, this world of spiritual weapons is highly recognized by humans in all camps of Blue Star, except for the ancient world, the world of the gods, and the world of the abyss, which are too compatible with the paths of various forces. In other words, the spiritual weapon world has always been in the top three.

However, the fog of this world is too thick and the danger is too great. The swarms of good and bad people are not only dangerous to themselves, but also hinder the progress of the overall plan, which is inefficient. This is also the one with the most two-way thresholds in this crossing.

Those who can travel to this world this time not only need to have a clear will, but their own ability is generally higher than the average level of all time travelers.

Before transmigrating to this world, and before transmigrating into this world, Zhang Yutong made sufficient preparations, but unfortunately, she still made some mistakes after all.

These mistakes are caused by too little understanding of the information in the world, and there are also negligence in details.

There are only two "inferior versions" of creation templates in the world of spiritual tools. It was not until more than two months after passing through this world to complete the creation that Zhang Yutong was shocked to learn that in this world of spiritual tools, all wisdom is at the level of life. Really achieved an unprecedented level of fairness.

Each original intelligent species may have different emphasis on strength, agility, endurance, etc., with advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the life state of each intelligent species is almost completely the same.

That is to say, in the spiritual tool world, individual lives are not divided into "inferior version", "ordinary version" and "genius version". The children born in the heap do not have the slightest difference in life level.

It can also be said that the intelligent species in this world are all "inferior versions", and in the cognition of the world's concepts, they are all called "primitive human beings". This does not have any noble and pure blood meaning, but just shows that this life The "primitive" and "uncivilized" did not enjoy the care of any civilization and wisdom.

Therefore, because of this reality, her idea that the first thing she would do after gaining a foothold was to collect as many "normal version" and even "genius version" creation templates as possible fell through.

As for the negligence in details, it brought too much trouble for her to gain a foothold here in the early days, and it is also the reason why these people look at her so strangely now.

She has tried her best to be consistent with other people in form, but unfortunately, compared to other human beings in the row building area, who generally have a strong decadent, gray and even rotten temperament, even if she dresses in the same style No matter how she dresses up, she can't hide her outstanding look, she is like a pearl in the gravel, one can tell the difference between her and the people around her at a glance.

Not only the temperament is very different, but also the style that is too sassy and generous, the face that is very healthy at first glance, the collagen-rich face that can only be piled up by various high-nutrition foods and high-end cosmetics, the demanding food taste, revealing politeness and upbringing everywhere And the self-confidence deeply hidden in the bones, and the kind of calm and calm that can only be cultivated by holding power for a long time...

Therefore, her original idea of ​​disguising herself and integrating into the Pailou District, and completely turning herself into a member of this place has failed before it even started. Regarding her, the "Miss Qianjin" who suddenly appeared in the Pailou District, there is a lot about her life experience. There are hundreds of versions if there are not a thousand. When she wanted to pretend to be "I am also one of you" and wanted to mix with someone, everyone took a few steps on their backs, and they were very polite. reject.

At the very beginning, there were some people who were not stingy or who had high brains and wanted to mess around, but before she could make a move, these people inexplicably disappeared without a trace. It is said that without exception, they were dealt with by the real "district tyrants" in these row buildings.

It’s fine if it’s just an ordinary young lady, but in the eyes of those with vicious eyes, Zhang Yutong has already surpassed the category of ordinary young lady. As for why she appeared here in such a state, no one is not curious. But no one wants to know.

Those who want to explore will be "shut up".

The only thing they know is that Zhang Yutong itself is a big trouble to move, so don't try to get any benefits from her, stay away from her, the farther the better.

Because of this state, Zhang Yutong's situation in this world has been unable to open for a long time, and an invisible barrier has been erected between her and other people in the row area.

When she realized this problem and wanted to make a change, it was already too late.

However, fortunately, her ultimate goal was not to mingle with the people in the Pailou District. This place was just a temporary place for her to live before she could really step into the power of this world.

Moreover, such a special state of hers also saves her a lot of trouble. This row of buildings is not a good place. People die every day, anytime, anywhere.

Apart from surpassing others in terms of skills, consciousness and cognition, she is not at all better than others in terms of physical fitness. If someone really has evil intentions, she will be in trouble.

And her identity makes it more convenient for her to contact some secret organizations.

Ever since she discovered this bar that achieved the ultimate "quiet amidst the hustle and bustle", and saw some clues from the only bartender, she patronized here from time to time.

The guy sitting at the farthest side of the bar automatically gave up his seat, and she just nodded slightly and sat down unceremoniously.

Inside the bar, stood an old man who was over sixty years old. He was wearing a very elegant black vest, and the white shirt inside was also well-groomed. His face was also very clean, without any stubble, shoulder-length His long gray hair was casually tied behind his head. He was wiping a shiny metal bar wine glass with a white towel. His eyes were downcast, completely focused on the work in front of him, giving People have a feeling that if there is nothing else to disturb, he can wipe this cup forever.

This quiet and even dull atmosphere was incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the night scene.

Zhang Yutong came over and sat directly opposite him, looking at him generously.

The old man asked slowly, "What do you want to drink?"

Zhang Yutong took out a roll of banknotes from his pocket, patted them on the bar, and said, "Red Pink No. [-]."

The old man's eyelids moved, and then said lightly: "Out of stock."

Zhang Yutong stared at him, and said without giving an inch, "You have."

The old man shouldn't, since the guests didn't order, he just made the most expensive one in the price list on his own, watching him go around the bar, taking various base wines and other materials for mixing, it was inevitable to walk around.

When he started walking, it was obvious that Zhang Yutong's entire left leg showed a slight sense of incongruity in Zhang Yutong's eyes. She was sure that even if this person's left leg was not fully mechanized, at least half of it had been Mechanized, and, because the spiritual awareness and the overall progress have not kept up, signs of degradation and rust have appeared.

The old man walked around the bar before pushing a glass of cold drink in front of Zhang Yutong.

Zhang Yutong stretched out his hand to lightly flick the silver-blue wine glass that was so clean that it could be seen on the glass wall, and there was a crisp music from the wine glass, and she said, "Don't worry, the price will be whatever you want, and I won't let you buy it." Earn one less point!"

The old man continued to lower his head and wipe his wine glass, as if he hadn't heard her words.

However, the other customers around have already slipped away as their topic deepened. To survive in the terraced area, when everyone's basic physical fitness is similar, the most important endowment is "sight". Dare to fight—isn't that the basic quality of the boys in the Pailou District?

Therefore, everyone else slipped away winkingly, only Zhang Yutong and the old man were in this quiet corner.

The old man continued to wipe his wine glass with his head down, turning a deaf ear to her words.

Zhang Yutong was not discouraged, and continued:

"You should know best how difficult it is to earn money by doing serious business in the row building area. I remember that you refused me last time because you used this reason to perfuse me, asking me to collect enough money for the purchase first, and I got every cent Earn serious money, without any blood or filth... In the eyes of other people, this is already making things difficult. You are sure that I don't have enough funds, and you want to force me to retreat.

I didn't say anything, I went to raise funds honestly, I think with your eyes and ears, you must know that every penny of my money came clean. "

Having said that, Zhang Yutong patted the roll of banknotes with his divine palm, and said, "But what do you say now?"

The old man didn't feel ashamed at all, and said: "Since you understand that my original intention is to let you retreat in spite of difficulties, this is a reason for refusing, then why do you bother with such meaningless entanglements?"

Zhang Yutong looked at this old guy who had changed his mind face to face but became so calm, instead of getting angry, more smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"I know you have a referrer system. You insist so stubbornly. Is it because I don't have a referrer and I take the initiative to send it to my door?... If it's because of this, how about you being my referrer?"

The old man remained silent and continued to wipe the wine glass.

The smile on Zhang Yutong's face became brighter, and he said softly:

"Well, it's not for this reason, then... Could it be because of me?"

"Den-"

The old man downed his wine glass suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Since you know, why do you have to make things difficult for me?... I am a gatekeeper, and the value of my existence is to keep trouble out of the door. As you said, I can It's not easy to find a decent and easy job here without blood stains, isn't it a bit too much for you to smash my job as a widowed old man?!"

Now that he had spoken, he simply spoke directly, saying:

"What is your identity and why you appear here, we are not interested, and we dare not be interested.

Something like Red Pink No. [-] is a very common thing in the core area. It would be too harsh to drink when drinking water, but you still want to come here to make up your mind. I don't want to know what schemes are hidden behind it.

The only thing I can insist on is one thing, you don't want to get this thing from me! "

In order to strengthen his tone, he finally slapped the bar on the bar.

Such a clear refusal, but the smile on Zhang Yutong's face did not diminish at all, his eyes moved down, he looked at his left leg, and said with a light smile, "Have you thought about healing this leg?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The old man who was lowering his head and wiping his wine glass suddenly froze when he heard this.

After a while, he slowly raised his head, did not speak, just looked at Zhang Yutong, although he had tried his best to control his inner emotions, but in front of Zhang Yutong, an "old monster" who had lived for hundreds of years, he would His true mood hidden under the calm can be seen clearly.

At this moment, he was not as calm and calm as before. He was a little confused, hesitant, struggling, and hopeful.

He pretended to be calm and looked at Zhang Yutong for a long time, but Zhang Yutong did not avoid it, and looked at him.

After a long time, the old man asked softly: "Is it really curable? Doesn't it mean that this kind of disease is irreversible?"

When Zhang Yutong heard the words, what he thought in his heart was, "Irreversible? Is there still such a saying?"

But her expression didn't change at all. After a few seconds, she revealed a smile that could only be understood and could not be expressed in words.

In the eyes of the old man, this smile seemed like a ray of light that pierced through the thick haze in his heart, and also wiped away all the doubts and speculations that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

He also changed the elegant image he had maintained for many years, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, has the information been blocked to this extent?"

Zhang Yutong didn't answer his question. Instead, he picked up the glass of wine that the old man specially prepared for her for the first time, and drank it leisurely.

The old man's short-lived gaffe was also his own emotional venting, and soon he cleared up his emotions again. However, compared to the original stylized politeness and the hidden sense of distance behind him, now he has a smile on his face. Although very faint, but very sincere and friendly smile.
