Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming looked at this living example in front of him. This child should not be lying.

Could it be that the medicine that was originally distributed was hidden in the hands of some guys and could only be bought with money?

That's why the refugees are gathered in urban desert areas for isolation to prevent the news from leaking out. Some people may even be infected without knowing it. When the situation becomes serious, the price can be raised.

Li Xiaoming was horrified when he thought about it carefully. Although this thing was considered a minor illness now, such evil usage was not allowed by nature, and the managers in charge of the slums could not absolve themselves of the blame.

Li Xiaoming handed the things over and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Take these barbecues and eat them slowly."

"Thank you so much, sir, you are a good man."

After the boy finished speaking excitedly, he couldn't wait to open the box and wolfed down the contents. He didn't even have time to chew carefully. He looked starving.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Li Xiaoming looked at the child helplessly, then walked to the vending machine next to the street lamp, put five cents in, took out a bottle of drink and sent it over.

The boy ate big gulps, his face filled with happiness, and he drank the drink in gulps.

"By the way, how many days have you not eaten?"

Lu Xiaohe stopped eating, his eyes dimmed, and he said with a cry.

"I don't know. If you count two meals a day, it's probably one meal a day, maybe half a steamed bun or something like that. No matter how much I eat lately, I can't get enough, so my family's money has been spent. I have no choice but to eat everywhere. Begging.”

"So do you feel full now?"

Li Xiaoming knew that he should not overeat when he was hungry for a long time, otherwise his stomach would not be able to react.

But he didn't stop him because he wanted to see if the boy felt full. After all, a box of barbecue wasn't too much.

Lu Xiaohe shook his head dully. He could only feel the taste of the food, but he couldn't feel whether he had eaten it in his stomach.

Li Xiaoming was shocked when he heard it. If there wasn't something wrong with his gastrointestinal tract, it was because the inside of his body had been mechanized.

No, this is something that can be solved within the scope of our ability, so we can't just ignore it.

He suddenly touched the boy's head and smoothed his black hair.

I am not worried that I will be infected because I was vaccinated three years ago and have lifelong immunity.

"where is your home?"

"I no longer have a home. After Uncle John was taken away, my home changed from a small slum to an entire indifferent city."

The thin body wanders in the dark corner, and the hungry man peeks at the delicious food that he longs for but cannot ask for.

Hiding alone under the eaves, sticking out his tongue to taste the rain from the sky, sleeping in a broken house that no one cares about.

He had already had enough of the ridicule and indifference, and had even been kicked and beaten.

It's nothing, just live on, don't care about anything, just keep smiling.

In the past three years, he has experienced a lot and learned a lot, but he has not given up hope of living.

Observing people's emotions and using a few tricks increased his chances of begging. He could wash away the odor on his body so that he wouldn't be bored by others, so he chose to get to know Li Xiaoming.

The boy continued to eat the barbecue, but the feeling of satisfaction in his stomach did not respond to his brain. There was only the taste of charcoal and seasoning on his tongue. It seemed that he had noticed something long ago, but he never dared to imagine it.

So he put the remaining half of the barbecue box and didn't even drink the drink.

"Why don't you eat it? Is it not delicious?" Li Xiaoming asked in surprise.

The boy replied: "No, my matcha sister has probably never tasted these. I want to take them back for her to try."

"It's such a touching friendship. It's okay. You can finish your portion first. I still have a lot of cash here. I don't have much money with me. You can buy some food on the way."

Li Xiaoming's tone also became very gentle, and he handed over the money. Under the light of the desk lamp, his face gave people a close and kind feeling.

Suddenly Lu Xiaohe began to sob softly.

"I know I'm sick and will die soon, but I don't want to die yet. I promised my parents that I would be a scientist, and Sister Matcha also needs someone to take care of her.

"But I don't even want to eat anything now, but my reason tells me that it's better to just eat. I know I can't help but deceive myself."

Li Xiaoming comforted: "Don't cry, Ergou. You make me embarrassed like this. In a few years, you will be a real man."

Lu Xiaohe said: "Sir, you are a good man, can you tell me if I am going to die like my parents, otherwise you wouldn't ask me so many questions.

"If I really have an accident, please, after I die, can you bury my body under the big tree in my house, and then help me deliver matcha to the orphanage, and I will bless you underground. "

"Don't worry, you won't die. First tell me where you usually stay. I'll go find you tomorrow."

The child asked anxiously: "I stay near the Sand Dune Park and usually sleep on the bench. Sir, are you really going to come?"

Li Xiaoming promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely come. Your life will definitely be fine. I also like smart children. I originally wanted to take you to a better place, but there are some special reasons in your body that make it difficult to contact people for the time being." "

"By the way, have you had close contact with anyone during this time?"

"No, I usually like to dig through the trash cans to pick up some scraps, but I wear gloves and they are very clean. I don't really like begging, but I am so hungry that I can only lose my dignity. The most hateful thing is begging in the downtown area. If you do, the Wild Wolf Gang will take half of the money."

The boy explained in a panic, which made people speechless for a moment. He had a sallow complexion and skinny skin, but he was still being bullied like this.

Li Xiaoming said: "What is the Wild Wolf Gang? Does it have anything to do with those gangsters just now?"

"It has a certain relationship, but they are just helping people watch the scene. They are not the most hateful. They have helped me before."

Li Xiaoming, an enthusiastic citizen, expressed his indignation, "Who is their gang leader? They are so arrogant. At least those sects also know how to trick people into making donations. Isn't this a direct robbery?"

"That's the deputy city lord, Mikenak House, who is responsible for managing the slums. He is a big bad guy. Because he is powerful, the people below dare to be angry and dare not speak out. He will even rape women. If I have the ability If so, I will definitely knock him to the ground with one punch from the left and the other from the right."

Lu Xiaohe often imagined that he was a hero, capable of doing justice and drawing a sword to help when there was injustice.

But in reality, he is just an orphan who can barely afford to eat.

Li Xiaoming thought about it carefully: "McKainac House? Isn't this the name of the person in the photo that guy gave me? Okay, I didn't want to kill you, but I feel a little guilty. Now the name is listed, anyway. Another level of my identity is to make these people deserve their death."

Li Xiaoming's eyes were firm, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face because of a sense of pleasure.

What will happen to this city after Wood's death? It’s exciting, but I probably know the outcome.

A corrupt ruler will only bring disaster. Reporting him requires too much evidence, so it is convenient to do it directly.

But it was too troublesome to do it without leaving any trace. After all, he was the deputy mayor. It seemed that he had to find someone to cooperate. After all, he could owe him a favor.

"This is 40 cents, that's all we have for the time being. You can sleep in a better place and change into clean clothes. I spent almost the same amount on the barbecue before. It's really expensive, and I even got a counterfeit bill. ."

"Sir, I can't ask for your money."

"Take it, think of it as the salary I pay you. Are you interested in working under me?"

He asked curiously: "What work are you doing?"

Li Xiaoming replied: "It's a very easy job. After all, Ergou, you are young and weak. You will feel honored for this career in the future."

Li Xiaoming put down the money and turned to leave with a relaxed pace.

I am the kind of idle idiot who helps others every day, does good deeds without leaving his name behind, and still feels very happy.

Seeing Li Xiaoming's figure gradually disappearing, Lu Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief and touched his ticking heart. It was panic and pain that he usually couldn't feel.

"Sir, I'm sorry, you are a good person, but I lied to you."

Lu Xiaohe said guiltily that although most of what he said was true, it was wrong to approach him with a purpose.

Then he got up and walked towards the riverside in the city. Under the red moon, the surrounding searchlights were shining, the water surface was sparkling, and some strange fish were swimming around.

Two tall and strong figures stood side by side by the river chatting. When they noticed the young man approaching, they immediately closed their mouths and looked at the thin man calmly.

"Two adults, the task you gave me has been completed. All the news has been delivered. The good gentleman promised to meet again tomorrow."

"I knew you could do it. This is a deposit for you. You know what you should say tomorrow, right? If you want to live and get money to buy a carbon-based vaccine, don't reveal the truth."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Lu Xiaohe stretched out his black and dirty little hand and got a bag of money from the other party.

"Goodbye, gentlemen." Lu Xiaohe politely said goodbye and disappeared without a trace.

"Hahaha."

"Hehehe."

The two strong men looked at each other and smiled. They had different plans in mind, but for the same goal, so they could only cooperate temporarily.

Moreover, both of these people were known to Li Xiaoming.

One is the mechanical sequencer George Kaiser who provides the assassination target and funds, and the other is the transcendent Wang Ye who is brought into the city and introduced to the house.

It can be said that they have helped Li Xiaoming more or less.

In the bushes next to the willows by the river, a pair of eyes stared at the two people in confusion, with surprise on their faces.

This person is Li Xiaoming who followed the boy.

Why are these two guys together, as if they are still conspiring.

Fortunately, I was worried about leaving a child alone at night, so I followed him over to have a look. Sure enough, you should be cautious and cautious when helping others.

Li Xiaoming hid behind a tree. Because the distance was too far and the wind was against him, he couldn't hear clearly what the two people were talking about.

Occasionally, I heard mercenaries, answers, vaccines, jokes, and some vague words.

I was a little curious, how did these two people get together?

He didn't dare to act rashly. If these two people were to fight head-to-head, he might not be able to win, not to mention that he would have no chance of winning if he was the only one on this trip.

Wang Ye took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket, handed one to the other party, and helped light the fire, while also lighting a cigarette himself.

In the smoke, two red dots looked like monster's eyes, staring at Li Xiaoming who was hiding.

The cool evening breeze by the river blew into my neck, making me shiver all over.

Li Xiaoming thought it would be better to retreat temporarily. I don't know whether these two people are working together or are like-minded. They must have ulterior secrets. Let's make a plan first.

He left immediately, lowered his footsteps, bent his body and disappeared quickly.

George held a cigarette in his dexterous robotic arm and looked toward the river with sorrowful eyes.

After a long time, the cigarette was half burned, and the first half turned into gray smoke.

With a flick of his finger, the cigarette ashes fell to the ground.

He threw his unfinished cigarette into the river and it was extinguished instantly. At the same time, some fish jumped up, like boiling water, and the river surface returned to calm in an instant.

"Do you think that kid can really be trusted?"

When Wang Ye saw that the other party stopped smoking, he took a long drag on the cigarette, threw it at his feet, and crushed it out with his feet.

"I don't know. You said yourself that he is wanted, which means that this kid should have some skills. But if I hadn't arrived at noon today, I might have been trapped in the Yellow Sand Bone Burial Ground and couldn't get out. "

"Thank you for being a Tomb Raider. Since he can come out intact, he has proven his strength."

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "No, I just feel sorry for him. After all, it is not good for outsiders to be involved in my grudges with this city."

George Kaiser said disapprovingly: "When did the person who was called the Evil Tiger actually have mercy and compassion? If the person you killed has a spirit underground and knows about it, wouldn't he cry unjustly, haha. "

Wang Ye sarcastically said, "Humph, you're not much better. The human weapon that chased me back then, I didn't expect that this time it was because of two women and a common goal that they set off on the same path."

"If it wasn't for this reason, why would I ask you to cooperate? How is the matter at the Wu End Mine resolved? Are those mercenaries still causing trouble for you?"

The single-hole camera in George's left eye looked at his arm, and he couldn't help but clenched his iron fist, making a sharp collision sound.

Wang Ye lowered his head and looked at the jacket on his body. Because of the blood stains covered by the night, he didn't even have time to change it.

"It's almost done, except that I'm stained with blood again. I have to change my clothes when I go home. I didn't expect that after I retired, I would still be engaged in the job of killing."

George said expressionlessly: "Every city is like a small country. The ruler can be changed at any time, as long as he does not betray the emperor. If you want to achieve hegemony, it is normal for your hands to be stained with blood. .Whether we can succeed in the future depends on that Li Xiaoming."

"What should we do if that person dies?"

"Then the rest is up to you. I'm going to take a rest and take good care of these parts."

George patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and left here without looking back.

Wang Ye was speechless. He looked up and looked at the blurry red moon in the sky. He couldn't help but take out his cigarette case and lit one again.

"Huh, I have to buy a new pack of cigarettes." Then he leaned against the railing and closed his eyes.
