edge of pure land

Chapter 34 Dwarf Orphanage

After arriving in the slums, Lu Fuji truly returned to the place that once belonged to him. He could smell the smell of rotten vegetable leaves in the air, and there were processed fish offal scattered in the sewers on the street. Splashing flesh foam.

The cries of street food, the swearing and pushing as people fight for stalls.

This is the real breath of life.

"This is the edge of the Fourth Ring Road and the outermost edge of the Third Ring Road. Most of the people living here are imbeciles who have obtained business rights, but they are not real desperadoes. Those who open underground casinos and engage in black boxing Those who trade illegally are the real ones."

Qiangwei explained calmly: "None of them have legal rights to operate, and they are all doing private transactions. Because of this, there is no guarantee, and there is nothing they can do if they encounter gangsters."

Lu Fuji understood.

Lao Zhang encountered this situation.

After the two of them arrived at the vegetable market, they obviously attracted a lot of attention.

There are also many gangsters who see beautiful women coming and going, and are ready to sneak up and take advantage of her.

The endings, without exception, were all overturned by Lu Fuji.

They went all the way to the end of the market, where there was an old elevator that led directly to a hundred meters underground, where the black market was located.

The elevator sank and shook, and the lights flickered on and off.

When the elevator door opened again, Lu Buer saw the entire underground neighborhood.

The dilapidated steel dome hangs in the sky like circuits from the old era. Old kerosene lamps illuminate the dim sky. Houses stacked like Tetris, chaotic streets, and mountains of garbage piled in the corners.

“It was like seeing the slums of Rio de Janeiro or New Delhi.”

Lu Fuji said softly: "I have seen those places on the Internet before."

"Absolutely, but there are not just poor people gathered here, there are even high-powered species. For example, those high-powered species who took advantage of going out to fight and became deserters. If they can't survive outside, they will smuggle back through various illegal channels to work as soldiers. Black households."

Qiangwei shrugged: "The Supreme Federation doesn't want to manage this place. First of all, it's because they have too many people and their forces are intertwined. Secondly, this place can digest internal conflicts by itself, and it is also convenient for some big shots to do things. Finally, even if it is cleaned up It’s useless to stay here, there are always people who choose to take risks for the sake of profit. They either riot or regroup.”

"I understand that when many people cannot survive, they will always have various amazing potentials that people who live a comfortable life can never imagine."

Lu Fuji nodded slightly: "I didn't expect it to be the same in the Pure Land."

"The problem now is, this place is so big, where can we find the Barron?"

Qiangwei comforted the red-eyed blood lizard in her arms and frowned.

Lu Buer glanced at her suspiciously: "Are you really the judge?"

Qiangwei stared: "I just passed the internship period, what's wrong?"

"No wonder, at first glance, he doesn't have any experience."

Lu Buer spread his hands and said: "This kind of place is a mixed bag of good and bad people. If you are not familiar with everyone, you will definitely not be able to investigate. So, you need to find a reliable informant."

"How to find it?"

Qiangwei was stunned.

"Did you really pass the Inquisitor's examination?"

Lu Fuji glanced at her: "Your IQ is over 80?"

Before she could get angry, he found a shop, took out an energy bar from his pocket, and handed it over with a smile: "Brother, I'm looking for someone, a worker from the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, who was beaten yesterday by you. ,have you heard of it?"

The middle-aged man looking at the shop was stunned. He quickly put the energy bar into his arms and pointed at it casually: "Then you have found the right person. I know everything about this street! Have you seen this road? By the way. Follow this road to the end and turn right, he is talking to someone."

Lu Fuji smiled, turned around and cast a look at the woman, and then left in a swaggering manner.

Qiangwei frowned, and suddenly realized that this boy had changed into a different person since he came to the neighborhood, and he had adopted a gangster-like attitude.

Very harmonious here.

"Sir, it looks good."

Qiangwei reported into the miniature microphone: "It's a good seedling."

The sound of Damon pushing the wheelchair sounded in the earphones, and Longque replied calmly: "Children who become masters too early are like this."

  Under the old kerosene lamp, two groups of people were confronting each other in front of the stall.

"No, you must return the remaining merit tickets to me today. Do you know whose money you withheld? I am just a middleman. I offended the military master. You, a little second-rate dealer, will not die. Know how he died!" Lao Zhang sat on a chair with a bruised nose and swollen face.

He was followed by a group of young hooligans, each carrying a steel pipe.

They were all hired by him.

The boss opposite is a bald old man with a sinister face, nicknamed Fat-Headed Snake.

His subordinates are also a group of gangsters covered in tattoos, eager to fight.

"What merit ticket? Isn't that the price? I have already given you the goods you asked for, and the rest is my hard work. Everyone is doing a job that loses their head, and it is not easy."

The fat-headed snake sneered: "Don't count on your military master. They are all on the front line and can't get out. Why can't they come here to fuck me for you? Why don't you call him here? If he could come, I would have his head stuffed today." In the ass!”

"What did you say?"

Lao Zhang was also angry and stood up to confront him.

"Pay back the money!"

"What money? I don't know."

"You must pay it back today!"

"Damn it, I gave you face, didn't I?"

A mouthful of thick phlegm spat onto Lao Zhang's face.

Lao Zhang was furious, but he did not dare to direct his younger brother to rush forward.

Because the money he gave was just to support the show.

If there's going to be a fight, that's another price.

The fat-headed snake also saw that this man was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, so he grabbed him by the collar and said with a ferocious smile: "If you dare to cause trouble here, I think I didn't teach you a lesson last time!"

As he gave the order, his men swarmed forward.

When Lao Zhang saw that his casserole-sized fist was about to smash down, he knew that he was going to suffer today. He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes. At this time, there was a faint sound of wind coming from his ears.

With a snap, the fat-headed snake's fist was caught.

"Old Zhang."

Lu Fuji smiled: "Good afternoon."

Lao Zhang opened his eyes and was obviously taken aback.

Lu Fuji's right hand exerted force, and there was a howl like a killing pig.

The fat-headed snake is also a good one. Although he has not mastered the sacred rhythm, he is already very capable among ordinary people. But at this moment, his fist was crushed alive!

He fell to his knees with a plop, and his men picked up their weapons.

However, at this moment, the fat-headed snake roared: "Presumptuous!"

The men stopped hastily and looked at each other.

The fat-headed snake is not a fool. The opponent is obviously an evolver and quite powerful.

The most important thing is that while Lu Fuji crushed his fist, he took out a revolver from his pocket, turned the magazine slightly, and put the muzzle of the gun against his head.

The fat-headed snake was a knowledgeable man and recognized that it was military supplies.

There is only one kind of person who dares to use military supplies in public.

"Military Lord! Army Lord!"

The fat-headed snake was sweating profusely: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

"Didn't you say I can't come? I'm coming."

Lu Fuji directly pulled up a chair and sat down, smiled and said: "What should I say? Now let's perform a show, put your head into your butt, I'm still waiting to see."

Qiangwei burst out laughing, and the group of subordinates who had never seen a woman were stunned.

It turns out that this is the so-called privilege of high-energy species. It is not only the gap in strength, but also the natural suppression of status. Behind him is the military, even the church and the federation.

When this kind of ruffian saw him, it was as if he was looking at the living king of hell.

Of course, if the fat-headed snake knew about it, there would be an interrogator next to him.

Well, it might make you wet your pants.

The fat-headed snake's face turned green, and he said hurriedly: "Master, please don't make fun of me. If I really perform, you and your female companion will be sick and vomited, right? Ah Si! What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and give me I’ll take the money! Take more and compensate this military master!”

He trembled and said: "The military master touched me and he couldn't wash his hands? Hurry up and give him the money to wash his hands! And this worker Zhang, the medical expenses and mental damage expenses, quick, quick, quick!"

He almost growled.

As a person in the underground black market, he is simply too oily.

When the military master really came, he would have absolutely no way to confront him head-on.

The only way is to survive with a broken arm, lose money and be done with it.

Otherwise, given the illegal activities he had done, being shot on the spot would be a minor offense.

Lao Zhang was really shocked now. He knew that high-energy people had privileges, but he didn't expect that it had reached this point. The subordinates took out almost all the merit tickets in the safe.

With a total of three thousand and four merit votes, I have to say that their business is quite lucrative.

"Little deer, why are you here?" Lao Zhang took the stack of merit tickets and handed them to him without thinking.

Lu Buer just drew a merit ticket with a face value of 500, and returned the others: "Oh, it's nothing, I came to check something with my daughter, and came to see you by the way. You can just keep the money, and from now on Once you get the management rights, go do some business, I'm very optimistic about you."

Qiangwei was furious: "You brat, what did you say?"

Lao Zhang obviously showed a moved expression. In fact, when they parted ways in the temple, he thought that he would never have any interaction with this young man again.

Unexpectedly, people are still thinking about me.

Lu Fuji did this for no reason.

First of all, Lao Zhang had helped him in the ruined church.

Secondly, Lao Zhang himself is also a talented person and can make money make money.

Subsequent promotions require significant resources.

Lao Zhang may be able to help him solve some of this problem.

It can also be considered an investment.

The fat-headed snake covered his crushed fist, almost rolling his eyes in pain. His subordinates rushed over to help him, but they didn't help because they didn't understand anything.

Now he just hopes that the military master will leave quickly and go as far as possible.

Never come back again.

Just treat him like a fart and let it go.

"Do you know this person?"

Lu Fuji took out a photo.

The photo is clearly an old photo of Barron.

"This person should be in the underground neighborhood."

Qiangwei crossed her arms and said, "If you provide clues, you will be rewarded with meritorious service."

Lao Zhang took a closer look and everyone shook their heads.

never seen it.

The fat-headed snake also saw the photo. After thinking for a moment, his expression changed drastically: "Master Jun! Master Jun! I know him. I don't remember this person's name, but he came here to look for a job half a month ago. Now working as a handyman in an orphanage!”

Lu Fuji was stunned.

Qiangwei stepped over and stepped on this guy's shoulder.

"you sure?"

The fat-headed snake trembled again in pain, but gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure it's not wrong, because this guy was with several children at the time, which made a very deep impression on people!"

Rose turned her head.

Lu Fuji nodded slightly.

A voice sounded in their earphones.

"Get ready, close the net."

  The orphanage in the underground neighborhood is actually more like a shelter.

The dilapidated and desolate courtyard was surrounded by an iron fence. There were collected garbage and scraps everywhere. The pure wooden townhouse was also very old. Even the roof had many holes, so there was no need to worry about it. The rain problem is barely manageable.

The thin children were squatting on the ground sorting garbage. They were young but extremely well-behaved and neither noisy nor fussy.

"Children, it's time to eat and take a rest." The young man in gray robe came out of the house and distributed bread to each child.

"Thank you, brother! Brother is so kind!" The children were very happy to eat the bread and jumped to the corner to enjoy their lunch.

The young man kept only half a piece of bread in his mouth, squatted down and continued to do the work that the children had not finished, counting in detail how much money the garbage would get from selling it to the recycling bin.

with a snap.

Something seemed to be falling off the roof.

The young man raised his head and sighed: "Did the roof collapse again? What if it hits someone?"

Living in a slum will inevitably encounter this kind of thing. He stood up and prepared to repair it, but unexpectedly, he felt a cold touch on the back of his head as soon as he took two steps.

"Barron Moore?"

Qiangwei pointed the revolver at the back of his head. She had observed this place for a long time in advance and was sure that it was really a dilapidated orphanage before she chose to show up in this way.

Otherwise she would just break in.

Barron turned his back to her, his body trembling slightly.

"who are you?"

He raised his hands knowingly, his hands trembling slightly.

The children were all startled and stood up one after another.

On the dilapidated roof, Lu Fuji stood up silently and looked at this so-called orphanage.

The children also looked up at him.

When Lu Fuji saw their eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

That look was so dark.

A little bit unlike what a child can have.

"Inquisition, High Inquisitor Rose."

Qiangwei said coldly: "John Moore is your adoptive father. After he committed the East City Human Sculpture Murder case, he devoted himself to heretical religion and committed many crimes. You are one of his few close relatives, and we need you to provide some clue."

The evil reputation of the Inquisition is known to everyone.

Barron was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still.

"We haven't seen each other since the Dongcheng murder case."

He kept raising his hands and said in panic: "My adoptive father is crazy, but it has nothing to do with us. When his lifespan was about to reach its limit, he listened to someone's temptation and turned to believe in a terrible religion. He disowned his relatives... My brothers were all killed by him."

He seemed terrified and his voice was trembling.

"Is it?"

Qiangwei said coldly: "Then why do you hide in the underground neighborhood incognito?"

"Because brother Sasha told me that my adoptive father did something terrible, and someone might come to take revenge on us."

"Your brother is probably dead, don't you know?"

"What did you say?"

"I said he is dead, but someone is indeed chasing him. If you don't cooperate, there is a high probability that you will be next."

Barron's body stiffened and his voice trembled slightly: "We don't know anything. I have been living here with my children during this period. Those terrible things have nothing to do with us!"

Qiangwei frowned and glanced at the children in the yard: "You took your children with you when you fled?"

Barron said sincerely: "These are a group of children that my adoptive father was originally going to adopt. I realized something was wrong with him, so I decided to secretly move the children away to prevent them from getting into trouble."

"Is it?"

Qiangwei looked at the dilapidated courtyard, silently put down the pistol and took out the handcuffs: "No matter what, you still have to come with me. I want to make sure how much you know about your adoptive father... As for the children, I will find a way. Take care of it for you."

Barron doesn't seem to be a dangerous person. He is just afraid of being silenced, so he hides here with his children.

Life here is very difficult, and you have to endure a lot of hardships if you want to survive.

"Sister, do you want some bread?"

The children came up and asked obediently.

Qiangwei's heart softened and she reached out to touch their heads.

Suddenly, Lu Buer saw their hands clearly and lost his voice:

"Be careful, they are not children!"

The reason why they are so sure is because the children's hands are covered with calluses, just like workers who have worked hard for decades.

It is impossible for a child to have such thick calluses.

And their eyes are dark.

That's...the look of an adult!
  Qiangwei was startled, because the child at the front raised her head, and her expression suddenly turned ferocious. He punched her soft belly and sent her flying!
  The remaining children swarmed forward and took out the daggers from their sleeves.

These people are not children.

But a dwarf!

Barron also turned around and pounced on the woman like a tiger.

For a fleeting moment, the palm of Lu Fuji's right hand beat.

He sensed the smell of dark matter!
