Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

Once again came to the slums, this isolated place on the border of Longmen, the interior is still dilapidated but has a delicate appearance of unique balance and order.

Unlike before, this time Bai Hua didn't have a little mouse as a 'guide', so Bai Hua could only use the most primitive way to ask himself the specific location of the last place written in the power of attorney one by one.

Otherwise, the old method will always be replaced by gradual changes. After Bai Hua asked several people back and forth, she finally got lost.

Dying beside the strange crossroads, Bai Hua felt what it means to "never lose my love and be broken".

There was no way, Bai Hua could only take out the power of attorney again, and re-studied where the place on it was.

"—Don't try, I don't have a wallet"

"Huh? Is this kind of thing worth saying so righteously?"

Bai Hua, who was looking at the map, suddenly said a word, and there was a response from behind him.

"There's only one inexplicable card... VIP? Boring."

The purple-haired rabbit ran behind Bai Hua at some point, and after fumbling for a long time, he found a 5-worth bar membership card from his pocket, snorted and stuffed it back again.

"So, what are you doing this time, detective?"

In the previous entrustment, I had some contact with it. The slum hook thief Rabbit secretly poked Bai Hua and asked him curiously.

"It's still an entrustment. Speaking of which, do you know this place, Secret Cable?"

Bai Hua pointed out the entrusted address to Purple Rabbit, who frowned after seeing the location written on the note.

"I know, but I know... But that place is an abandoned city, even if it is placed in this kind of slum, it is the most dangerous place. Generally, people with no problem in their minds will never take the initiative to go there. It is better to say that everyone is eager to hide. Stay away. If you want to die, I won’t stop you, you can see it at the end of this street and turn right at the third branch.”

"I see."

Bai Hua nodded, and after An Suo's explanation, he instantly understood why when he asked other people for directions, they would look at him with such a deflated expression.

"Ha... Should I say it's self-confidence or stupidity? I didn't expect that you really didn't understand the slums at all, so you just came in so carelessly. I guess there are many people who want to get some money from you along the way, right?"

An Suo pinched the tip of her nose and sighed, until now she still couldn't figure out whether the gray wolf in front of her was wise or stupid.

"It's okay, although some people did stare at me, but with my charisma, they all became a lot more friendly in the end, patting me on the shoulder and smiling."

"Really... No, what did they say when they patted you on the shoulder?"

“[Be strong, brother, it’s not scary to have no money]”

After Bai Hua finished speaking, he and An Suo remained silent.

"Well, anyway, thank you for your guidance, I have something to do here, so I'll leave first."

"--Wait a moment!"

Bai Hua waved at the dark cable and was about to leave, but was stopped by the purple-haired rabbit before leaving.

"Well, um, about the previous incident...thanks."

Ansuo's tone became stuttering, this Che Guevara who usually wears a smirk on his face, now looked a little shy, and turned his head to express his gratitude to Bai Hua for his previous behavior.

Not only did he not expose the secret clues, but he also protected the little infected girl who was with him, and even gave him a sum of money.

In a sense, Bai Hua's actions that day saved Dark Cable at least three times.Especially when An Suo later learned from the gossip that the "little purple mouse" was actually related to the 'Rat King', he was so afraid that he didn't sleep well for three consecutive days.

"Ahem, anyway, I've already thanked you. If there's anything I can help with, it doesn't matter if I lend a hand."

Ansuo coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment and shyness. After all, she never thought in her life that one day she would express her gratitude to others in a serious manner.

"Stop stealing, how about finding a decent job like me?"

"And then you don't even have a wallet when you go out?"

"Gu...kill me!"

Bai Hua is a good teacher and wants to persuade An Suo to make progress every day, but is killed by the purple-haired rabbit in the opposite direction.

"And even if you want to find a job... Heh, what kind of job can an infected person have? Being locked in a cage, fighting desperately with those infected creatures, and earning the ridicule of high-ranking figures?"

Ansuo's tone became a little angry, this time it was Bai Hua's turn to reach out and pat the purple-haired rabbit on the shoulder.

"It's not that bad. I heard that there are farms opened by infected people in Colombia, and the towns on the border of Victoria are not too hostile to infected people. There are also some independent medical institutions that will also recruit infected people. Although the world is miserable , but I can still find a way out—it’s like when I owed 4 bills, I thought my life was over, but now I’m still stuck!"

Bai Hua gave Ansuo a thumbs up.

"It sounds like you are more useless than most people. But thank you anyway. 【There is always another way out】Is it... In short, I will be here most of the time, if you need anything, just come here and find me .”

And hearing Ansuo's awkward thank you, Bai Hua frowned, with a thoughtful expression.

"I always feel that these words sound like that... By the way! Slum Boys Detective Team!"

"what?"

The strange words that popped out of nowhere made Ansuo tilt his head.

"That's right, when it comes to detectives, you must have your own detective team member. Congratulations, Miss Ansuo, you have become the No. 1 brother of my [Slum Detective Team]!?!"

"Although I don't know what you're talking about, but I always feel very uncomfortable... Anyway, it's probably like this, you go and do your work~"

Inexplicably, he became the younger brother's secret thread, feeling uneasy for a while, and after rua (squeezing) Bai Hua's tail with a rope, he jumped up to the protruding residential roof next to him as lightly as a rabbit.

"By the way - remember to bring your wallet next time you come here! Otherwise, wouldn't I have nothing to steal?"

"It's fine to bring you some money and white notes."

Bai Hua rubbed her tail and complained loudly, then waved to An Suo to express Goodbye.

Although Bai Hua hadn't been to Longmen's slums much, he had actually seen many infected people, perhaps even more than most infected people in the slums.

Among these infected people, a small part of them, due to physical or psychological reasons, always have an extreme appearance full of anger and resentment.

Maybe that's how the recent terrorist organization called [Integration Movement] gathered.

Using resentment as firewood, turning the source stone in his body into a lead, trying to light something up with this suicidal behavior.

But more infected people, they are similar to Ansuo, they have their own bad habits, but they are not evil people, but they have a confused and small hope in their hearts.

It's just that no one ever tried to direct the rays, to bring them together.

No... Someone actually wanted to do it, but she couldn't make it happen.

Bai Hua shook his head, this time he didn't carry a gas mask, but he didn't seem to care too much.

"Work, work~"

Gray Wolf hummed the out-of-key version of Sora-chan's new song, and slowly walked into the dark depths of the slums.

Chapter 35

After separating from the dark cable, Bai Hua followed the path she instructed and headed towards the location written in the last step of the entrustment.

Although this is the first time Bai Hua has arrived in the deeper areas of the slums, he can still intuitively feel the changes in the surrounding environment and atmosphere.

In the slums near Longmen City, you can still see some ordinary people chatting with the infected, or civilian facilities such as markets and shops.And even if they encounter gangsters, most of them only hold baseball bats and knives and other harmless things to humans and animals.

But as they moved towards the designated location, all the young and old infected people around disappeared, replaced by some adult infected people with more aggressive eye movements, and even some "soldiers".

And the surrounding buildings have gradually changed from fairly ordinary apartment stores, to illegally expanded pigeon buildings, and then to pure ruins.

When Bai Hua used to put a quilt under the bridge, she heard many anecdotes from the people passing by, one of which was related to the slums.

It is said that the slums were not originally isolated as they are now.The slums appeared because of a war, Wei Yanwu's war with his brother and a certain duke of Ursus.

The course of the war was very tragic, and one of the areas was severely affected, and even once caused the source stone dust infection, and that area is now the slums.

Although the online world is true and false, Bai Hua's trust in this rumor has gradually increased after looking at the various ruins and dangerous buildings around her.

This place is not like a slum, but more like a melting pot that has just experienced war and has not yet been rebuilt. Various gang members have their own ulterior motives, and fish and dragons are mixed in this area.

It's worth mentioning that here, Bai Hua didn't encounter people blocking the road, probably because those people knew very well that the benefits of taking a risk and robbing a person may not be worth more than the possible chain reaction.Or for such an unknown soldier, there is no need to expend energy on it.

Bai Hua saw a dilapidated bar standing not far away. Unlike the dilapidated walls around it, this bar had been deliberately restored, but for some reason it was not completely refurbished.

"People from an urban area come to this kind of place, either they want to die or they are ignorant to the extreme. There is nothing you want here."

Two men in black uniforms stood between the birch and the bar. Neither their aura nor their clothes could make people think of a poor and dilapidated slum.

In other words, there is no difference between these people and those gangsters who drive luxury cars around the city, but the area of ​​activity is different.

"It may also be for money. I'm the lead detective of Li's Detective Agency, and I'm here because of a commission. First of all, let me say that I don't have any valuables on me (provided that I don't turn over the inside of my clothes) , and my entrustment is only to send a letter to the man in the bar. Logically speaking, there should be no friction between us."

Bai Hua shrugged and said that he was just a part-time worker, but the two gangsters didn't have any intention of retreating.

Unlike the bodyguards at the entrance of the bar, who were more inclined towards decorations, the two gangsters in front of them obviously had blood on their hands, and the order they received was "don't let irrelevant people pass through here".

"Let's go back."

The man in black uniform responded briefly and coldly, while one hand was already on the handle of the machete at his waist.

Bai Hua observed the surrounding situation.There were only five guards near the bar, and there didn't seem to be any buildings around that could hide people.

"Well... Actually, I just lied to you. I came here not only for the commission, but also to meet the poster who came up with such a boring and time-wasting commission, what is he planning to do with me?"

Boom!

One second, Bai Hua, who was chatting without any defense, had already put his elbow on the belly of the black uniform closest to him in the next moment.

The opponent just uttered a distorted retch before falling to his knees. Bai Hua put his hands on the opponent's back as a power point to perform a vaulting action. It hit the ground.

"—!"

Bai Hua's sudden attack brought the remaining three black uniforms back to their senses, one of them immediately aimed at Bai Hua with the crossbow beside him, and the other two came straight towards the gray wolf with machetes in their hands.

"Crack!"

Bai Hua pulled out the machete from the side of the black uniform that fell on the ground and swung it forward, cutting off the flying crossbow bolts that tore through the air, and then threw the machete at the person rushing towards him.The solid wooden knife handle hit the opponent's knee heavily, causing the man in black uniform to fall directly to the ground and keep rolling.

"This guy……!"

The person using the crossbow in the distance was taken aback by what he saw in front of him. He hurriedly reached out to grab another crossbow, but just as he put it on the crossbow, a claw suddenly stretched out and clamped it on the crossbow. On the crossbow's pedal changer.

"Bring it you"

Bai Hua pulled the trigger of the hooklock gun again, and the crossbow instantly reversed its two stages and ran into Bai Hua's hands.

"Well!"

Holding the machete, the black uniform who was about to rush in front of Bai Hua almost hit the tip of the bowstring that had already been strung.

puff!

Bai Hua hit the opponent's neck with a crossbow, and then pointed at the last black uniform in the distance and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

The opponent instinctively dodged to the side, but instead of the arrows flying, the crossbow body was thrown over.

"What the hell is this—boom!"

In less than 30 seconds, all five bodyguards around the bar fell to the ground.

"sleep tight."

Bai Hua pushed open the door of the bar, there was no light source inside, it was as dark as a moonless night.

Gray Wolf squinted his eyes, his pupils dilated a little, managed to find a tunnel in the pure darkness, and walked through it soundlessly.

The tunnel wasn't too long, and at the end not far away, Bai Hua saw a flickering candle and a not too tall silhouette, and there were no other people or ambushes around.

"So you are the client who spent 3 Longmen coins and used so many contacts to create this 'prank'? I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. Frankly speaking, I am a little bored in the middle, so please return Careful... boy, careful... uh, boss??"

In the middle of Bai Hua's pretentious words, he walked close enough. He finally saw the figure sitting in the room clearly, but the other party was his Crazy Thursday's immediate superior - "Slum Rat King".

Shu Wang saw the surprised expression on Bai Hua's face, and smiled slightly.

"I reserved this bar on purpose, because there were many nights when we old guys would gather here to compete for the last one to drink until we fell asleep."

"Later, a war broke out in Longmen. Some young people died in the turmoil, and some old men were not spared. After that, this place became ruins, and we didn't have the opportunity to get together to toast together."

The Mouse King just sat quietly on the chair, but there was an aura that made it difficult to look directly at.

"So how do you feel, young man? Those guards outside are my right-hand assistants. Do you enjoy getting along with them?"

The Shu King looked at the mottled walls around with some nostalgia, and then turned his attention to the gray wolf in front of him.

At this time, Bai Hua has completely lost the pretentiousness he had a few seconds ago. He lowered his head, drooped his ears, and tucked his tail. It looked a bit like "the fireworks at the company's annual meeting collapsed to the boss's balls." The facial expressions of the employees.

"They...well, they're pretty nice, we had a good exchange...discussion..."

Bai Hua stumbled, no matter what, she was able to get the status of "justifiable defense" before, but later she actually beat up the boss's capable employees all over the place.

Bai Hua had many alternative guesses about the real body of the client, but it was obvious that the Mouse King was not among the alternative answers.After all, for Bai Hua, he thought that after that conversation, the relationship between him and the Mouse King had become "cold".

"Hahaha, there's no need to be so cautious, Bai Hua."
