Drawing cards can't save the weird world

After learning from his daughter Elena that Zhao Hao had found a new job as an apprentice in an antique shop, Mr. Adams was very happy.

He took the initiative to find Zhao Hao to teach some unspoken rules of the industry, and happily gave Zhao Hao the introductory books he entered the industry in the early years, encouraging him to say that this industry is very interesting, and he has worked hard for ten years. It is not a problem to be popular and spicy .

Mr. Adams is tall and burly, with a generous face and glasses. He is warm, humorous and kind. He is a nice person.

Zhao Hao: But I don't really want to be an antique dealer!

After learning about Zhao Hao's new job, Gou Quan took the initiative to use his inquiring skills in Liberty City to help Zhao Hao find out a lot of news in his spare time to promote Liu Xuande.

Lao Tie Antique Store was opened more than 20 years ago, and it is quite a time-honored brand in Song Rencheng. The owner is an old man from Song Dynasty in his forties or fifties. It is said that it mainly sells some antiquities from the Song Dynasty and East Asia, rather than the traditional antique store of Americo.

After all, it was only two hundred years since the founding of Americo, so where did the antiques come from?

By the way, Zhao Hao discovered a small difference before. In his impression, Laomei was established in 1776.

But Americo is not. Although the founding father is still the Axe of Falling Sakura, the establishment time was postponed to 1782...

On Monday, June 12, sign in with +3 fate points.

Zhao Hao got up early and rushed to the old iron antique shop in Song Rencheng. The distance is not close or far, but it takes more than 20 minutes by bus. The problem is that the Liberty City bus is often not on time, and you have to wait ten or twenty minutes before a trip.

Rich people drive their own cars. Cars are not expensive in Ami, and ordinary families can still afford them. If you don't have money, you can take the subway directly. Although the environment is poor, it is very cost-effective and cheap.

On the contrary, it is very uncomfortable to be a bus driver in the middle.

For this reason, Zhao Hao had to wait for the bus at the bus station an hour in advance...

The commotion ensued as the bus made a small arc and passed a large stop.

This site is a freight train site, and there are many low-level people living here.

Bankruptcy is a very common thing in Aramco. Many times you were a white-collar worker in an office or a blue-collar worker in a factory a week ago, but you were fired because of poor economic conditions, or the company or factory closed down, and you lost your job.

Amis without the habit of saving will be in trouble if they cannot find a job within a short period of time! All kinds of bills cannot be paid, and it is very easy to live on the streets.

In places like this where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are many homeless people hiding in corners wrapped in quilts or cardboard boxes. I also tried to find some temporary work.

It's just that if the house is taken away by the government and there is no permanent residence, it will be difficult to find a stable job...

A place with a large number of unemployed and homeless people that spawns crime and street gangs can be dangerous.

However, the riot at this time was not a robbery or a gang fight, but a group of uniformed policemen holding batons, shields and the like, forcibly maintaining order, chasing and intercepting many "idle people" and then escorting them into the car.

These captured people will be locked up in shelters, and then they will work in certain factories or mines for a month or two before being released.

This is a new policy recently formulated by Liberty City to "reduce unemployment and homeless population".

There are also policies for migrants, such as going to the police station to apply for a "temporary residence certificate" or something. If you are found wandering on the street without a certificate, you will be taken to a shelter...

How can the Amis who are accustomed to "freedom" stand this?

Besides, the reputation of the Aramco government is really bad, the people don't trust it at all, and conspiracy theories are rampant.

Even if these people died in the streets, they would never allow the government to take them away and send them to unknown places for "reform"!

So the two sides clashed with each other!

Those homeless people fled around dragging their only belongings, and the police chased and intercepted them.

Shouts, screams, roars, reprimands... those who fell, those who resisted, those who were beaten, those who were subdued... for a moment, there was a turmoil of people!

Especially some black people are under the special care of the police.

A thin black man dragged a big bag and ran to the side of the bus. He slapped on the door and begged, "Open the door, please! Open the door!"

As a result, during the few seconds the driver hesitated, a policeman rushed over and threw him to the ground, pinning the back of his neck with his knee. At the same time one hand is always ready to draw a gun!

The driver quickly ate and left. Not long after driving out, the bus driver spit out the window!

"Bah! These hell-worthy beasts are insidious!"

From the driver's narration, the passengers learned that there was a company recruiting workers here, saying that they needed more than a dozen workers to carry materials.

As a result, more than a hundred people came, and they happened to be scooped up by the police who had been prepared for a long time!

As soon as it was said that they needed to check the driver's license (similar to an ID card) and temporary residence permit, those people ran away in a hurry.

This is for fishing!

An old passenger in his 50s and 60s said angrily: "The damn subway has been under construction for more than ten years and has not been completed yet. Huge amounts of taxpayers' taxes are invested every year, but only a little bit is pushed forward. I heard that those politicians don't want to go into it." I invested money. It is estimated that these people were arrested to repair the subway!"

Another passenger said: "If they were locked up in a detention facility because they had no place to work, they would have been severely beaten!"

Zhao Hao has also heard about cases of people being beaten to death by the detention facility, but it is often nothing.

Newspapers and news in Liberty City are never paid attention to, only spread by word of mouth.

...

When I came to Songren Street, the sanitation environment began to improve.

The cleaning work here is contracted out by the neighborhood itself. Compared with the bloated and dull Liberty City official organization, the infrastructure and services here are much better.

For example, in Zhao Hao's community, the garbage truck sometimes only comes every two or three days. The cleaning staff are very perfunctory because of the meager salary.

Only those rich areas and high-end communities can be called clean and safe!

Zhao Hao found Lao Tie Antique Store, which was at the entrance of a small alley, not a good location. But presumably antique shops do not need a storefront facing the street.

It was less than eight o'clock in the morning, and a large number of Song people in Songren City had begun to increase, but the antique shops were still deserted. Zhao Hao looked at it for several minutes, but no one looked at that alley!

Yes, it is said that this business pays attention to not opening for three years, and opening for three years. It certainly cannot be crowded with people like a convenience store.

This old iron antique shop didn't open at noon, which is already a manifestation of the industriousness of the Song people.

Zhao Hao straightened his clothes, walked over and opened the door to enter.

Zhao Hao walked into the antique shop, and a person in a car in the distance wrote a few notes on a note, and then drove away.

This person is a staff member of the Mystery Bureau, who is observing and recording Zhao Hao's performance.

It seems that the Mystery Bureau did not let Zhao Hao go as he said.

It's sad to say that the Bureau of Mystery manages Americo's inner world and the extraordinary circle, but it doesn't have its own stable source of extraordinary people.

Because Transcendents cannot be cultivated in batches, it can even be said that no one Transcendent is the same. Each one is unique.

The Bureau of Mystery is very good at cultivating agents, but cultivating superhumans is a big deal!

So in many cases, you have to cooperate with some extraordinary people, or hire them to assist in your work.

It's just that in the business of being an agent, you can't trust your own people, let alone not your own people?

It was rare for Colt to meet a newcomer in the extraordinary circle, so he wanted to focus on training him.

...

Zhao Hao pushed the door and entered, and a copper bell rang on the wooden door, making a crisp sound.

Before Zhao Hao could observe the surrounding environment, the fate card system suddenly responded!

"Trigger check-in condition?!"

Punch in and pose like scissors for ten seconds? !

At this moment, a short and thin figure had already come out of the back room, Zhao Hao couldn't care about the check-in, he could only choose to talk about it later when he had an opportunity.

Zhao Hao said: "Hi, I'm Zhao Hao, Colt from the Mystery Bureau introduced me to be an apprentice here..."

He briefly looked at the person who came, and he was about 1.7 meters tall, thin, with a slightly square face, short parted hair, and a short beard on his lips. The facial features are very typical of people in the Song Dynasty, and they wear black old-fashioned short hexagrams and cloth shoes that are somewhat out of date.

It is worth mentioning that this person's eyebrows, thick eyebrows, and the ends are raised high, which is the legendary sword eyebrows into the temples. Very heroic!

But compared to those sharp eyes, it's nothing to mention!

He has a serious face, but he is not forty or fifty years old like Gou Quan said. Zhao Hao felt that although this person looked a bit serious and old-fashioned, many people would believe him when he said he was over 30!

The visitor nodded and looked at Zhao Hao with his hands behind his back.

At this time, it was Lao Tie, the owner of Lao Tie's antique shop!

He looked at Zhao Hao for a long time, and Zhao Hao was a little hairy, and then he said: "I already know from Colt. Zhao Hao, right? The neighbors in the neighborhood call me Uncle Tie, and you can also call me Uncle Tie. Come and sit." He pointed to the chair next to the small coffee table.

Uncle Tie pretended to read Zhao Hao's information, while being surprised.

He felt that Zhao Hao had the kind of rough and short-lived face, but now he can escape death, which is really rare. It shows that if you break free from the shackles, you can do a lot.

Since he was from Song Dynasty, he had no reason to shirk Colt. After all, he owed favors to the Bureau of Mystery when he settled down in Liberty City.

Uncle Tie saw the colorful rope tied around Zhao Hao's wrist again, and thought it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Living away from home for a long time in a foreign country, the younger generation will gradually drift away from traditional culture.

Seeing that Zhao Hao tied colorful ropes on his hands during the Dragon Boat Festival, the old-fashioned Uncle Tie was really satisfied.

"Zhao Hao..." Uncle Tie pondered.

Zhao Hao was really worried, and said to himself: He probably doesn't know about Ri Tian, ​​right? Inexplicably ashamed!

Uncle Tie said to himself, "Is Zhao's surname the emperor?"

Zhao Haoxin said badly: As a transcendent person, he went away to a foreign country. Could it be that he has enmity with the Song Dynasty government? Henwujiwu also hated me, Zhao Ritian! I am wronged! Just because I deserve the surname Zhao? !

Just when Zhao Hao thought his extraordinary training might be over, Uncle Tie spoke.

"I am a folk mage, occultist, and antique lover who knows a little bit of magic. I am a semi-official partner of the Mystery Bureau. Since I have accepted you, I will be your guide in the future..."

He pinched his fingers and said: "There is no business today, so I will tell you..."

Now I'm having a hard time, it's so disgusting.
