Tianyang put down the feed, walked to the window, looked at the buildings in the upper city outside the window, and asked curiously: "What does the captain want me to do?"
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter." Han Shugan laughed twice on the communicator. "You are from the Lower City District. Do you know the cripple on Dongmen Street?"
Tian Yang became more and more curious: "He knows him, and the captain knows him too?"
Han Shu's tone seemed a little awkward: "When I was young, I often got drunk and had fights. Whenever I got injured, I would ask the cripple to treat me. Oh, his legs weren't crippled at that time. As a result, I owed him some favors."
So, the cripple is here to collect his debt? Tianyang thought.
"Anyway, the cripple asked me for help last night. It seems like something went wrong. You can go and ask him for details." Han Shu chuckled, "I just happened to have something to do and couldn't leave. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable person to ask for help. How about you help me with this?"
The cripple had helped Kaidi before, and now Han Shu asked for help. Tianyang thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, it would be fine to go to the downtown area.
"No problem, I'll go now."
Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, hey, when you come back, I'll treat you to a drink."
Captain, can we change to something else
"Han Shu, are you ready? I've already taken a shower. How long do you plan to let me stay in bed?" An unfamiliar female voice suddenly rang out over the communicator.
Tianyang finally knew why Han Shu was busy.
He looked out the window, but it was daytime already. Did the captain still want to sleep so early in the morning
After the call ended, Han Shu sent him another text message, saying that this matter might be related to force, and asked Tianyang not to reveal his identity as a night walker. If there are any other questions, he can contact him later.
Tianyang doubted whether he could find Han Shushang if he really needed to contact him.
It was inconvenient to reveal his identity, so the defensive armor and uniform obviously could not be worn. Tianyang didn't care. With his current physical fitness and reaction speed, as long as he didn't encounter an Ascendant above level 4, it was impossible to kill him with one blow.
As for the Ascenders above level 4, they would not go to the lower city area to embarrass a cripple, right
He changed into a dark undershirt and a pair of khaki cropped trousers, and found a gray trench coat he had bought not long ago in his closet.
The windbreaker comes with a hood, and putting the hood on your head will make you look much more low-key.
After putting on the short boots that made it easier to move, Tianyang wanted to take the Red Moon Saber, but he thought that it would easily reveal his identity, so he simply didn't bring it.
He tied the multifunctional waist bag on his body and covered it with his windbreaker. In the waist bag were the Black Thunder and Nightmare masks, the former for emergency use, and the latter for wearing on the face when needed, to conceal the identity and activate the ability to enter dreams.
After everything was ready, Tianyang left the apartment.
Arriving at the parking lot of the apartment, Tianyang hesitated for three seconds in front of the unicycle before giving up on this overly conspicuous vehicle.
I took the public tram on the street outside the apartment and went to the weapons store in the fortress to buy a manganese steel dagger.
It was of average quality and sharpness, and could not be infused with star essence, but it was more than enough to deal with ordinary people. As long as the Sublimators were not matched by their special weapons, they could also put up a few blows against them.
The most important thing is that the price of 50 contribution points means that Tianyang won’t feel sad about discarding it after using it.
As for why he threw it away, it was naturally to prevent people from tracing his identity, although Tianyang felt that he was a bit too cautious.
A cripple in the downtown area shouldn't run into any troublesome people, right
Tianyang put the narrow knife in the popular knife bag provided by the store, carried it on his back and boarded the city train, and got off at the Anjie station.
When getting off the train, Tianyang put on the hood of his windbreaker, lowered his head slightly, and walked off the train.
.
There were a few homeless people sitting on the platform, begging for food from passers-by. Of course, few people paid any attention to them.
Only a kind-hearted girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old hesitantly took out a piece of bread. As a result, several homeless people ran over and surrounded the girl.
Among them, one hand reached out to the little girl's bag full of food...
Things like this happen every day in the downtown area, and even worse incidents are commonplace.
When Tianyang passed by the group of homeless people, he cleverly bumped into the guy with dirty hands, and as a result, he and his companion rolled into a ball.
The little girl was so frightened that she took the opportunity to run out of the station.
Coming to the dim street, the buildings on both sides are close to each other. Even in the daytime, the colorful lights flashing on the signs are still so conspicuous.
The air smelled of tobacco, alcohol, and mold.
The pedestrians on the street were all very lascivious. When passing by the doors of some bars, there were always women in scantily clad clothes, engaged in the sex trade, soliciting customers.
The lights here are never turned off, whether it is day or night.
When passing by the Volcano Bar, Tianyang discovered that the owner of the place had changed.
Now renamed "Heat Wave", the bar is not open yet and the windows are dark.
Tianyang looked for a while, then lowered his head and left.
As he was walking, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.
Tianyang was a little surprised. He had just arrived in the Lower City area, so how come he was targeted so quickly
He was very familiar with the environment in this area, and deliberately led the people behind him to circle in various alleys. When passing by a small shop, Tianyang saw the stalker through the window of the shop.
He was a sturdy man, his hair was obviously unkempt and like a tangled mess.
His chin was covered with stubble, and he was wearing a dark grey coat and trousers, with a shoulder bag slung across his body.
There are people like this everywhere in downtown, and they have almost no special features.
Only his eyes.
His eyes were bright, always staring at the young man in front of him, with a clear target.
Tianyang Wuwu took a glance through the window, roughly memorized his appearance, and quickly turned his head away so as not to let the other party know that he had been exposed.
After walking through a few more alleys, the feeling of being watched disappeared. I didn't know whether I had shaken off the other person or that person had lost his way in the maze-like alleys.
But this was a good thing for Tianyang. He quickened his pace, rented a car, and finally arrived at the grocery store owned by the lame man on Dongmen Street.
The shop was closed and there were no signs of violence, so it seemed that I was not too late.
Tianyang knocked on the door.
The lame man's impatient voice came from the door: "No business today, get out!"
Your temper is still so bad.
Tianyang lowered his voice and said, "Cripple, Han Shu asked me to come."
There were hurried footsteps in the store, followed by the sound of something falling, and the door opened.
The lame man stuck his head out and looked. When he saw Tianyang's face hidden in his hat, he asked, "Is it you?"
The lame man had a bad leg but a good memory. He naturally remembered the scene when the white-haired boy broke in without saying a word when Kadi was being treated here.
Tianyang nodded: "Go in and talk."
The lame man immediately made way for Tianyang to slip in and close the door. But the lame man was still worried, so he added a few more locks, and then beckoned Tianyang to follow him.
The two came to the small room filled with medical equipment. The smell in there was very bad. In addition to the smell of disinfectant, there were some other strange smells.
Tianyang took off his hat and said, "So, you provoked
What kind of trouble is it that requires our captain to sort it out?"
The cripple was stunned for a moment: "You are in Han Shu's team?"
Tianyang looked around and did not answer his obvious question.
The cripple took out a tin kettle: "Want some? I brewed it myself."
Tianyang shook his head: "I don't drink, and I didn't come here to drink."
The lame man nodded, took a sip, wiped his mouth and looked at Tianyang, and suddenly said: "You'd better go back. Kaidi said that he treats you as half a son. I don't want you to get involved in this mess."
Tian Yang frowned: "The captain asked me to come. If I go back empty-handed, it will be hard to explain to him."
The lame man took another sip and said, "It doesn't matter if Han Shu gets into this trouble, but you..."
Tian Yang put down the knife bag and put it aside: "Cripple, when did you become so nagging? This is not like you."
"Get lost." The lame man said unhappily, "You young brat, I'm doing this for your own good."
Tianyang laughed: "Don't worry, I'll just fight. If anything goes wrong, the captain will handle it."
The lame man glanced at him and reluctantly said, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Just tell me who is causing trouble for you." Tianyang unzipped the knife bag, took out the narrow knife inside, and pulled out the long knife to try the feel of it.
The lame man looked at the knife in his hand and said, "He is from the upper city."
Tian Yang was stunned: "How did you offend someone from the Upper City?"
The cripple snorted, "I didn't provoke them, they provoked me. There's a huge difference here!"
"specifically is?"
"Do you know the Xie family?" The lame man rolled his eyes strangely and looked at Tianyang.
Tian Yang immediately thought of Xie Miao and nodded: "I know."
"They broke my leg back then." The crippled man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the Xie family. They suddenly sent someone to find me a few days ago and asked me to be their family doctor."
The so-called family doctor is a private doctor who serves specifically for that family, and usually such doctors will be supported by that family.
Even though the remuneration is not as good as those of high-ranking professionals, it is still a good destination for ordinary people.
At least I can have enough food and clothing.
So Tianyang was even more confused: "That's good."
"That's bullshit!" the cripple said excitedly, "Back then they threw me out of the upper city like a dog, and now they want me to go back and serve them. I won't go even if you kill me!"
"So..." Tianyang roughly guessed the ending.
The cripple sneered: "So they came to warn me yesterday, either I go with them today, or they break my other leg. And this time, they want to throw me out of the Skyfort!"
"I understand." Tian Yang shook his head. "But even if the captain came here in person today and chased them away, what about the future? They will still cause trouble for you. The captain can't always help you, right?"
The cripple sneered: "You don't understand the faces of those families. No matter how arrogant they are, they have to maintain the face of the big family on the surface."
"If they are only targeting me, then it doesn't matter, they can do whatever is easier. But if they find out that Han Shu is involved, the Xie family will be more restrained. After all, if Han Shu were to tell others about this, and let the people in the upper city know that they, a big family, are actually oppressing a doctor in the lower city, it would be shameful."
Tianyang understood that what the cripple wanted was not Han Shu’s martial arts, but his identity.
An identity that is enough to make the Xie family fearful.
But the captain left this matter to himself because he had to sleep... Tianyang rubbed his temples and said, "Captain, can't you sleep again at night?"
