People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

Beihai, a small town.

Luo walked on the street, where every household was tightly closed.

Occasionally I see people walking around on the street, but as soon as they see me, they immediately hide in their houses.

"The people here are so strange. Is there something wrong with me?"

Luo originally wanted to find a hotel to rest, but after walking around the whole town, there was not even a shop doing business. Occasionally, he could see a certain shop sign hanging on the door facing the street, but when he walked over and knocked on the door , but no one responded.

"Catch someone and ask, then we will know."

Hastauruk's method is simple and crude, but it is indeed the best method at present.

Seeing an old man in front of him who had just thrown away the garbage and fled towards his home in a panic, Luo stopped him in front of him.

Luo's move immediately frightened the old man to tremble, with a look of helplessness and horror on his face: "Please, please spare me, our family can no longer pay the protection fee!"

"Let uncle go!"

The old man's shout immediately made the street lively. A group of teenagers, as old as seventeen or eighteen years old, with the youngest around ten years old, rushed out from nowhere, holding sticks and facing Luo fiercely.

"Protection fees?"

Luo was a little helpless: "I just happened to pass by here when I was traveling around. Because I couldn't find a hotel, and everyone in the town looked at me strangely, I stopped this old man to ask him what happened. "

After hearing Luo's explanation, the teenagers were unmoved, but the old man calmed down and looked at Luo for a while, and then said: "Outsiders, I advise you not to rest here, and leave here as soon as possible overnight."

"why?"

"Oh, stop asking, just listen to me and leave quickly." The old man seemed a little anxious and wanted to get into his home without Luo.

"Ah... Boss Alex! Oh no, the Hall family is coming to this street." A teenage boy ran over panting and looked at the leader of the young people in horror. the man shouted.

"Close the team! Hurry and hide!"

When they heard his words, not only did the faces of the children surrounding Luo change greatly, but they all ran away in an instant. The old man even hid in his home with a look of fear on his face, and closed the door with a bang. .

In an instant, the street returned to silence, leaving only Luo standing there with a dull look on his face.

"Hey, there's someone here."

Not long after, a bearded man in a black suit with a cigar in his mouth happened to come over and saw Luo standing at the door of a house. He was full of surprise and led a group of young men there. Bian rushed over.

"I remember, isn't there an old man living in this house? Are you a relative of his family?"

The man in a suit put his face next to Luo's and looked at every corner of his body wantonly.

Luo traveled lightly, carrying only a small bag on his shoulder.

"Kazi, figure out how much protection money we have to pay for visiting relatives." The man in the suit chuckled, took a deep puff of his cigar and gave instructions to a strong man over four meters tall behind him.

After hearing the man in the suit's instructions, the man happily started counting on his fingers.

"One, two, three...nine, ten! Boss, I have to pay one hundred thousand beli!" After counting the two slaps on his fingers, Kaz looked at the man in the suit with surprise, and the corner of his eyes was greedy from time to time. Sweeping the backpack on Luo's shoulder.

"Idiot! This is just for him! The old man has to charge the same amount!"

The man in a suit proudly knocked on the old man's door and shouted loudly: "Hey, old man, your relatives are here, come out and receive them quickly!"

Crunch!

The old man stuck his head out with a look of helplessness: "Boss Hall, he is not a relative of mine, he is just a passerby."

"Passing by? So that's it."

Hall nodded and suddenly bumped another man behind him with his elbow: "Bates, how much do you want to pay for staying overnight?"

"Toll fees, business fees, management fees, cleaning fees, public resource occupation fees..."

Baez rattled off thirty or forty charging items as if naming dishes. The old man's face turned paler when he heard it, and the eyes of Hall and the other men behind him indeed became brighter and brighter.

"All the expenses are added together, and after discounts, the total is 100 million beli."

"Yeah, the same price is 100 million per person, please pay." Hall nodded, and then looked at Luo and the old man expectantly.

The old man closed his eyes, stiffened his neck, and shouted very bachelorly: "I...I have no money!"

"No money? It's hard to live without money. It's better to go to hell as soon as possible." Hall's face suddenly became gloomy, and he took out a musket from the inside of his suit jacket and pointed it at the old man.

He was about to pull the trigger, but found that his hand seemed to no longer belong to him, and he was completely unable to control it.

"What... what's wrong with this!?"

Hall was shocked. He stared at his fingers, but he saw that there seemed to be a thin layer of tiny creatures on the skin constantly drilling in and out of the pores.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to receive the money today." Luo's voice was very cold.

"It's your fault!"

Hall was furious, but he didn't notice that not only he but also his men looked frightened, looking like they wanted to move but couldn't.

"Old...boss. How about we forget it."

Baez urged hesitantly. This young man named Luo restrained everyone on his side without even making any move. He was not someone to be trifled with at first glance.

"Forget it?! You guys..."

Hall was furious. He turned around and was about to scold them, but saw everyone with frightened faces, silently telling him that the situation of these people was no better than his.

"Well, forget it, looking at you like this, it must be your first time here to visit relatives, so the protection fee will be waived this time."

Hall swallowed his saliva and deliberately looked magnanimous. He tried it but found that except for his hands, other parts of his body were not affected.

Suddenly, I felt even more frightened about Luo, this mysterious outsider.

Until all the Hall family members left, the old man still looked confused. On the contrary, the group of teenagers who were hiding in the corner and observing secretly saw the whole thing.

"Boss... Boss, could it be that he scared the Hall family away?"

"It must be! Didn't you see that the people in the Hall family couldn't move just now?"

"How about we ask him for help?"

"Don't worry, although he drove away the Hall family, we still don't know whether he is good or bad."

"Yes, weren't the Kazan family driven away by Hall and the others before?"

"Look and talk."
