On the computer screen, Li Kai typed two words.

"If the Snake Eyes track down our address..."

[I will handle it. 】

"Thank you then."

Teresa was still talking non-stop, and a faint singing sound came from the bathroom, which successfully diverted Teresa's attention.

She looked back, and through the opaque frosted glass in the bathroom, she could vaguely see the silhouette of a figure less than 1.6 meters tall, who was humming to the beat while taking a shower.

"Bronya is really... Humming so loudly, she still thinks she's at home." Teresa complained softly, turning her head to continue talking with Li Kai as she spoke.

During the conversation, Teresa suddenly noticed a detail, the camera above the computer was glowing red.

The camera is on, did Mr. Li Kai do it?Teresa thought so.

Thinking about it... Suddenly, she didn't know where the inspiration came from. She looked in the direction of the camera, which happened to be the direction of the bathroom.

Teresa blinked, turned her head to face the computer, watched the camera carefully for a long time, and gradually narrowed her eyes.

drop--

The camera's red light went off.

"Mr. Li Kai?"

[You're welcome, just call me Li Kai. 】

Chapter 15 Preliminary confrontation, grabbing the view

The junction of Taixu Gate and Tiger Head Gang.

Here is the largest slum in the area, and these people who were discarded as garbage by the upper class are still living, but some people are betting their lives to live, and some people are living in a drunken dream.

Bronya was walking on the street, glancing around from the corner of her eye, suddenly her nose twitched and her brows frowned.

Looking at the past, a garbage can was dumped on the side of the road due to disrepair for a long time. The foul-smelling garbage and waste water spread over a large area, yellow and green piles, flies and insects flying.

But even so, there are still many beggars coming here, holding iron rods or steel forks in their hands, rummaging non-stop.

"How long has it been since no one has dealt with it? What is the responsible company doing?" Bronya expressed her dissatisfaction even though she already knew why this happened.

[Without profit, no company will come here. It is better to count on the Tiger Head Gang than to count on environmental protection companies. 】

In the Bluetooth headset, Li Kai's voice came.

Of course Bronya knows this truth. Usually, she upholds the idea of ​​out of sight, out of mind, and rarely runs to this kind of place even if she is on a mission. Now she has to face this kind of situation, and she can't help but want to complain .

This scene reminded her of herself when she was a child, before she joined the Taixu Sect.

The information age seems to have nothing to do with these people who have never had a meal. They can’t afford mobile phones or use prosthetic limbs. There is nothing on their bodies that can be valued by capital. They have nowhere to go for work and no money for consumption. , even the power of self-reliance is blocked by the increasingly introverted wave of dehumanization.

With no money or even a boxed meal, I could only rummage through the trash, hoping to eat something left over by others.

High-tech and low-life is definitely not an empty slogan of the times, but a true portrayal of reality.

[Are you sure you want to do this? The work of terrain scanning can actually be handed over to the people of Taixumen, or to the drone. There is no need to come here in person. 】

Li Kai's voice sounded in Bronya's earphones. In fact, this was the reason why Bronya ran out of the hotel and ran all over the street.

"At first glance, you are doing less work as a mercenary. Any data given by Party A in this industry is not as reliable as witnessing it with your own eyes...Since you have accepted this job, you must be serious Responsible."

Bronya walked on the street, covering herself tightly.

"And I'm not doing it myself, at most I'm checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. You already did the terrain scanning with the help of monitoring yesterday. Snake Eye's defenses seem to be undefended under your invasion. I will come in person It’s just a record of the monitoring blind spots.”

This is already the third day that Bronya and Teresa came here. On the first day, they took a rest early after washing. Back to the advantage of vision, this part of the work is based on Li Kai, and Bronya and Teresa can only help Li Kai.

On the third day, today, Teresa was in charge of communicating with the Taixu Gate in the hotel, while Bronya took Li Kai to find places that the monitoring system could not take care of, trying to light up the entire mission area.

To be honest, Bronya didn't expect it to be so dilapidated before coming here, the mess is not enough to describe, maybe it will be worse.

Obviously the environment at Taixu Gate is not very good, but at least it is clean and habitable. Why is it like this at the Tiger Head Gang?

what are they doingDon't plan to develop well?

The rubbish heap just passed by was not an isolated phenomenon. After scanning all the way, Bronya did not find a few intact public facilities. Even the iron fence could be unscrewed and stolen by someone.

If it wasn't for the trash can, it was really impossible to start, and it might have been dismantled.

click -

Bronya scanned a dark alley with the scanner in her hand, lowered the brim of her hat a little, trying not to reveal her face.

There are "corpses" lying everywhere in this alley. They are people who can't survive. They failed to steal and rob and were bought by others, or they simply gave up on life in despair.

They lay motionless on the ground, letting the dirty water soak through their clothes and hair, and maybe licking it to satisfy their hunger.

Bronya was about to leave, but as soon as she took a step, a pair of dirty hands grabbed the bottom of her trousers.

"What... are you holding?"

Bronya lowered her head and glanced at the man who grabbed her trousers out of the corner of her eye. She frowned and clenched the scanner in her hand.

The man who was lying dead like everyone else raised his head and looked at Bronya, all his attention was on the device in Bronya's hand.

It is something that the legendary big shots would use. It seems that it can be sold for a lot of money, and you can buy more food.

food......

Under the man's messy hair, his eyes were suddenly bloodshot, and he burst out with all his strength, trying to climb onto Bronya's body.

boom--

Just stretched out her second hand and before she could get up, Bronya kicked him to the edge of the wall, rolled over a few times, and hit the corner of the wall with a bang.

Blood mixed with waste water flowed.

"I'll change my pants when I get back later. I can't take these pants anymore." Bronya walked away quickly and said to Li Kai expressionlessly.

[You should wear thicker clothes and wear a mask by the way, otherwise if someone sees your face, do you think someone will try to lure you to the red light district? 】

"Who has the guts to kidnap me?"

[Maybe you have been a mercenary for a long time and have no idea. At your age, the upper class is just a student who is still laughing in school. You have no idea about the crisis. It is best to start. 】

"Then let them come, absolutely blackmail them a lot of money, let them spit out their living expenses on me."

[The people here may...do not have much money, or simply have no money. 】

[Trafficking in other urban areas may be done for profiteering, but it may be because of a piece of bread that they dare to do it here. 】

Bronya was dumbfounded.

Just as they passed another alley, there was a sound of fighting in the depths.

"Have we recorded it here?"

【No. 】

"Go and see."

Bronya walked in, observing and recording. After turning a corner, she saw several people beating an old beggar.

Keep beating, keep beating.

Endless.

Bronya felt irritated when she saw the scene in front of her. She clenched her fists, and the blue light in her hand condensed into a baseball bat. She ran over and quickly hit the perpetrator on the head.

boom!

"Let you interrupt my work!"

boom!

"Let you have nothing to do to beat people up!"

boom!

"You guys make me feel bad!"

boom!

The world is quiet.

Holding a baseball bat, Bronya walked over and looked down at the beggar. Out of vigilance, she didn't help the old man.

The old beggar gasped for a long time before recovering a bit of strength. He took out a piece of rancid bread and didn't care if it was stained with blood.

This is also the reason why he was beaten, a piece of bread, these people didn't beat him to death, they were not hungry.

Chapter No.16 My life seems to be surrounded by you

"Hey, is this the attitude after someone saved his life?" Bronya confirmed that the old man was really helpless before making a sound.

The old beggar still didn't speak, until he swallowed the slice of bread in his mouth with saliva, and then glanced at Bronya from the corner of his eye.

Bronya was an old beggar looking down, so her delicate face was exposed in front of him.

"Hey, she's still a pretty little girl... What, the scholar is here?" The old beggar moved his body tentatively, but the sudden sharp pain made him give up his thoughts.

"It's just a matter of life for me, but it's a matter of life for you." Bronya frowned.

"Hey, old man, I'm a homeless man. I just came here a few days ago. I didn't understand the rules. That's why I was caught and beaten... But it's okay if you saved my life. Fact, thank you, little girl."

The old beggar lay on the ground like this, panting while enduring the cold temperature of the floor tiles.

"People in your age group like to be heroes, and you don't know the dangers in the world. Let me tell you, you will stumble sooner or later."

"Those who act as heroes will stumble sooner or later."

The old beggar muttered.

[The scan is complete, Bronya, it's time to go. 】

Bronya was still standing, her mouth pursed.

"Why, pity me, if you want to help me, I'd be happy, but I don't have anything to give you, just a thank you, nothing more."

The old beggar glanced at Bronya.

"With your attitude, you deserve to be blocked here and beat up." Bronya pressed the brim of her hat and snorted coldly.

Using the cover of her pocket, she projected some hemostatic medicine and first aid supplies, and put them where beggars could reach.

After that, if you don't care about the beggar, you have to leave.

"Little girl, don't go, I'm just joking, you see, my whole body is only this broken mouth and I can still work, how about helping people to the end, feeding me some medicine, and simply bandaging it?"

"If you have hands and feet, don't sell yourself here." Bronya didn't have any intention of coming forward to help, "You can still eat bread just now, can't you take medicine now?"

"Hey... okay, old man, I'll do it myself." The old beggar held the medicine bottle, "But seriously, little girl, you should not use your sympathy on other people in the future."

"When I was wandering, I met a kind-hearted beggar who secretly raised a baby girl without telling everyone. I couldn't bear to let her starve to death, so every time I took out the garbage, there would be half a person's worth of food out."

"We asked him what was going on, but he didn't trust us, maybe because he was afraid that we would sell his baby? Who knows, he just refused to tell us anyway."

"Then, then he died. We beat him to death. I kicked him on the head with the crowd. I watched from the side when it was over. Who told him to break the rules? Everyone was measured by one person. How many do you have?"

"While everyone else was beating hard, I was the only one who saw a girl curled up in a garbage dump in the corner not far away, ouch, crying... tsk tsk, alas, where is it?"

The old beggar was talking vigorously, but it turned out that Bronya had already left at some point, and he didn't know if he had heard the words.

He was lying on the floor tiles, rubbing the medicine bottle in his hand, trying to open it.

Suddenly he started coughing and laughing, it was so ugly.

Long before he was beaten, when he was blocked, he quietly sprinkled powder all over his body. The poison was not high enough to kill anyone, but two or three hours was more than enough to knock down a group of strong men who had been in contact with it.

Old wandering beggars, there are many tricks.

According to the original script, these people would be knocked down by the poison if they beat them, and I took the preventive medicine in advance, so nothing happened.

If Bronya had given medicine to the old beggar just now under the instruction of sympathy, and had physical contact, I am afraid that she would not be able to escape the same fate.

As soon as this person gets old, he likes to preach by taking advantage of his age.

When the old beggar said those words, he also wanted to teach the little baby a lesson, let her know that playing a hero will kill you.

It's a pity that this little baby is so vigilant.

"Alright, this is how to live a long life. I am an old man. I am 72 years old. That's how I survived."
