"My name is Golden Bear."
The old man introduced himself to his family.
A weird sounding name.
But Lu Wen knew that in this mixed area, names are usually just nicknames.
The deterrent power of a person's nickname is often directly proportional to his or her own strength.
"My name is Xia Wen."
Reporting each other's family status is just a sign of sincerity.
Jin Xiong smiled and said: "I guess Mr. Xia doesn't believe that I won't poison the wine, but you drank it all anyway, so you are not afraid of the poison from food."
"I think we drank from the same glass."
"Yes, but I might also have an antidote."
"You can't stand the trouble at your age."
"Mr. Xia is indeed smart."
The topic has opened up, and Golden Bear no longer hides it.
He continued: "I have been to the high-rise world... Of course, as a person like me, I can only sneak there. I have seen a kind of robot there that is exactly the same as a pure human. There is no difference in appearance. Even I don’t feel any strange when talking.”
Then he briefly described the robot.
Occasionally, news of a robot rebellion breaks out in the upper world.
However, the news was quickly suppressed, not many people knew about it, and most of the rebellious robots were destroyed.
After speaking, he poured Lu Wen a glass of wine again and waited for Lu Wen's response.
Lu Wen didn't let him wait long, and said calmly: "No one who can sit in your position is stupid. I want you to understand the consequences of knowing too much."
"Of course I understand that."
Jin Xiong smiled and raised his glass, then said: "Mr. Xia, why don't we talk about Dong Fan first?"
"I think I've made it clear enough."
"But after all, someone wants to provoke conflict between us, and you should be very interested in the person behind it."
"Don't be too oblique." Lu Wen reminded lightly.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, let me tell you straight away, I want to cooperate with you."
Jinxiong said that sitting on the second floor is actually not comfortable.
Many people in this area are eyeing this location.
Those people were waiting for him to become weak, then sneak in, end his life, and hang his head at the entrance of the floor below, taking over his power by the way.
Many of his people follow him only because of their strength and money.
If he loses these things, his fate will be miserable.
"Mr. Xia, my store was smashed by you tonight, and I can't do anything to you. This is a signal. It tells everyone that I am weak enough."
"I think you have a way to deal with me."
"Yes, but that will cost me a lot, so I am more inclined to cooperate with you."
…
Three o'clock in the morning.
Lu Wen left the second floor.
The first floor has been restored to its original state, and there is no sign of any previous fighting.
Music and lights spread here.
Money and alcohol are enough to numb everyone here and make them crazy.
But the moment Lu Wen showed up.
The first floor suddenly became quiet.
The music stopped, the madness subsided, and both pairs of people quietly stared at him with fearful eyes.
The atmosphere became tense.
Without saying a word and with an indifferent expression, Lu Wen walked through the passage that the crowd gave way to, then opened the door and left.
The street outside also became quiet because of his appearance.
No one knows what he talked about with Golden Bear on the second floor, but since he came out safe and sound, it proves that he is qualified to look down on anyone here.
"Buzz-"
A low roar echoed through the streets.
Except for this sound, all other sounds were silent, not daring to sound before Lu Wen left.
The car now officially belongs to Lu Wen.
In the quiet night, the black car body jumped out like an arrow from a string.
After returning to the narrow street, Lu Wen still parked the car at the intersection, otherwise the roar of the engine might wake up those blue people who had finally fallen asleep.
When he returned to Christo's house, the little girl was still asleep.
…
A few hours passed in a blink of an eye.
Dawn is coming.
Lu Wen stood at the window with his hands behind his hands, his eyes focused.
After communicating with Golden Bear in the early morning, he had roughly guessed the origins of these blue people, deformed people, dwarves, giants and other races.
But that's just speculation.
So he needed to confirm it.
He must go to the higher world, get the correct information, and tell everyone in this world.
Tell them the so-called history and truth.
Before that, he could first deal with some of the small forces here with Golden Bear. At least after he left, the residents here could still live a peaceful life.
"Dear guest, did you not sleep last night?"
"I don't need sleep."
Crystal woke up.
The poor people here go to bed early and wake up early.
Many blue people need to get up early to set up stalls and rely on the meager profits earned from stalls to continue their lives.
It was at this time that the body collector arrived.
This is a very special profession, walking in the streets and alleys of this world, usually appearing on various streets at dawn, dragging those who died the previous day to the crematorium.
The hanging corpses last night were also taken away by these people.
The body will rot and emit odor if left alone.
"Hey, isn't this the young man who was collecting debts here? He died here."
The corpse collector was a bit hunchbacked and lame.
He knew many people and had collected the bodies of many acquaintances.
"You can recognize it even if your head is gone?"
"Of course, he wears these clothes often."
The body collector looked up and saw that it was a pure human being.
He kindly reminded: "Dear guest, this person is on the second floor of this area. If you have nothing to do with this matter, you'd better leave now, otherwise those people may hold you accountable."
"Um."
Lu Wen's calm attitude surprised the body collector.
This area is all two-story buildings. In this remote and poor area, there is no resident who is not afraid of the two-story building.
He thought immediately.
Maybe this young man from the high-end world doesn't understand the rules here
If that is the case, you will suffer a big loss.
The corpse collector couldn't be said to have good intentions, after all, he had seen too many dead people.
He just suddenly felt that it was a pity that this young man was of noble birth and died in such a poor place, so he reminded him again.
"Dear guest, I can tell you with certainty that the people on the second floor will definitely be angry here. When I come tomorrow morning, I will collect more than one corpse. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Well, I appreciate your kindness. Please clean up this place. I think he still has some banknotes on him."
Lu Wen still looked very calm.
When the corpse collector saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him.
I think young people who come to this high-level world are a little arrogant and feel that no one can threaten them in this kind of place.
The corpse collector has seen many such people in his life. Except for a few with really great backgrounds, most of them had no good end and ended up in the incinerator together with the corpses of those poor people.
He did not dislike the blood and began to search for Dong Fan's body.
This is the benefit of corpse collectors, who can get money from the dead.
That's assuming the dead man wasn't stripped clean the night before.
He gained a lot today. After all, the person who died was a person on the second floor. Although the residents on this street were used to seeing corpses, they did not dare to touch this corpse.
"This guy is quite rich, but he usually looks stingy."
The corpse collector held a stack of banknotes in his hand, which were all found from the corpse.
Many banknotes were stained with blood and stuck together.
He began to carefully separate the banknotes.
"Hey, you have to wash the blood stains carefully when you get back. Those guys don't charge dead people."
The corpse collector dipped his thumb into some saliva and began to count the harvest.
Many residents on this street walked out of their houses.
Naturally, they heard the conversation between Lu Wen and the body collector.
The corpse collector's words made them a little frightened.
Will there be more than one body collected tomorrow morning
Will the people from the second floor go on a killing spree as a warning to those who are secretly up to no good
Bad thoughts appeared in everyone's mind.
Whether it was blue people, dwarves, deformed people or the only white-haired people on this street, everyone began to worry at this time.
"Distinguished guest..." A blue child asked in a childish voice: "Will we die?"
Lu Wen touched the child's head and chuckled: "It won't happen if I'm here."
"Dear guest, the body collector is right. While there is still time, you can take Crystal with you. She is a lucky girl."
Poverty and kindness are not inconsistent together.
But Lu Wen has rarely been seen in the past two months since he started filming.
In this world, he suddenly discovered that these poor people, even the corpse collector in front of him who was counting the money of the dead, all had a kind side.
Lu Wen just smiled lightly, trying to comfort the people on this street as he did before.
They didn't need to know about last night.
It's really not good to know too much.
The artificial sun overhead grew brighter and brighter.
Dawn is passing, ushering in the morning hours of this world.
A black van was driving on the road, its body as shabby as the world.
There are very few people with cars in this area. Most of them are bicycles and old tricycles that go to and from the market. Those who need to get up early to set up stalls will take a tricycle to bring goods or go to the wholesale place to receive goods.
"That is… "
The corpse collector narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
"That's a two-story car, I've seen it before."
