Start with the Readers Chapter 177: Night

Eastern District, Black Palm Street.

On a summer night, even the wind brought a bit of heat. Aitris, who was wearing a full set of workers' clothes, was sweating, and she couldn't help but miss the days at sea. Casually shirtless, unlike in Backlund, even in the East Borough, the act of completely taking off his shirt will attract attention.

I don't know how long it took, but without a map, he came to a familiar crossroad with his intuition. This is the place he stepped on a few days ago.

There are very few gas street lights here, and only one or two can be seen from a distance. If the dark clouds did not cover the red moon tonight, Ai Triss believes that many sections of the road will be too dark to see clearly.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing from ahead:

"Get up! Get up for me!

"You can't sleep here, son of a bitch!

"Streets and parks are not places for you lazy **** to sleep!"

Ai Tris was stunned, and the words corresponding to "Poor Law" immediately popped up in her mind, and she understood what was going on. When he was a policeman, he did similar things during night patrols. He thought it was nothing at first, and he did it to maintain the laws of the kingdom...

But since going to the world other than Backlund, and truly experiencing the life of the poor at the bottom, even after she was woken up by a stick while sleeping in the park, Aitris had a feeling of the legitimacy of her previous behavior. So much so that I often wonder... is that really right? Why do the gentlemen of the two houses of Congress enact such inhumane laws?

He once asked this question to his guide in the extraordinary world, "The Strongest Hunter" Mr. Anderson.

I remember that Mr. Anderson sneered at that time and replied: "Because those congressmen can represent the interests of the nobility, the interests of the factory owners, the interests of the church, and even the interests of the emerging classes, but none of them are really The bottom poor, of course, will not speak for them."

Afterwards, Mr. Anderson also told him that papers on this kind of sociology and political science can even fill more than a dozen large bookshelves in Lemburg University, but it is useless to discuss it clearly. Those with power have what they say.

Ai Triss expressed her longing for Lunburg University after listening to it. Who knew that Mr. Anderson couldn't stand up straight from laughing on the spot, and then threw him a test paper and told him that there were no students with a score of 85 or more after finishing the test. Don't dream about grades.

Then, his "dream" was completely awake, because he didn't know any of the questions in that test paper...

Recalling this, Ai Triss shook her head, discarded those messy thoughts, then identified the direction, and walked to the street on the right.

The streets of this generation are controlled by the Huili party. They control a large number of street girls, soliciting customers in bars and road edges to do some indescribable activities.

This block can be regarded as a "prosperous" area in the East District. The various buildings are relatively good, and the environment on the street is not so dirty. The air is filled with oyster soup and fried meat left by street vendors. The taste of food and beverages such as fish and **** beer and the fishy smell of fish and aquatic products.

Ai Triss didn't care to observe the environment here. He quickly came to a slightly old apartment. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walking out of Broken Ax Alley on the other side of the street. , she was wearing a dark yellow shabby dress that had been mended countless times, and she was holding a vocabulary book in her hand.

And behind her was a girl who was slightly older than her, about seventeen or eighteen years old, also wearing an old skirt. She was chasing her sister's footsteps while complaining that her sister was walking too fast Come on, don't wait for her at all.

However, they soon saw Ai Trisi standing in front of the apartment, and the older girl's expression sank immediately, and she shouted: "Why are you here again? You are not welcome here!"

Her younger sister tugged at her sister's sleeve at this time, then turned around and said politely and distantly to Ai Triss: "Sir, I know you are a gentleman of high moral character, but you have already sent me away as promised. Father's relics have been brought back, and you have fulfilled your promise to him, so don't disturb our lives any longer, okay?"

Ai Triss smiled reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "I just saw that you have not moved out of the East District for so many days, and I want to ask if there is any difficulty... Is it because the money is not enough... After all, I owe Sam of..."

"Sir, this is the East District." The younger girl didn't say much, and only emphasized this sentence.

Ai Triss was silent for a while, and then understood. This is the Eastern Borough, the most chaotic place in Backlund. If the women of this family move suddenly, I am afraid that a fool will know that they have got a windfall, and it is impossible for me to provide protection at any time... Maybe the extra money given before will be harmful. lost them.

"Sir, we are already very grateful to you, at least my mother doesn't have to be so tired... So, don't bother us anymore, okay? Your presence will only make us more dangerous." The younger girl said again Once emphasized, but the voice was lowered a bit.

"Okay..." Ai Triss finally nodded helplessly, then handed her two letters, and told her, "If you encounter anything that cannot be resolved, take this letter to Jonwood The police station in the district is looking for Sheriff Farthing, he will provide some help after reading the letter... As for the other letter, if there is something that even Sheriff Farthing can't do anything about, take it to 'Detective Hero' Brian , I believe you have heard of his name."

"'Hero Detective' Bryan?" The two girls didn't want to accept the letter, but they changed their minds when they heard the name, and even asked in disbelief: "You...do you still recognize Detective Bryan?"

"Yes, I recognize him...you look like you, I admire him very much." Ai Triss was a little surprised, deeply feeling that the effect of all the words she just said was not as good as mentioning a name.

"Detective Blaine is our 'hero' in the East District. He rescued sister Janice from the next street from the gang-controlled company in the dock area." The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl replied with sparkling eyes.

"Aunt Kelly's family was also rescued by him and Ms. Arbiter. He is a real 'hero'." The girl's sister also said excitedly.

That fellow Abner has a great reputation! I'm so envious...

While thinking sourly in her heart, Ai Triss took the opportunity to chat with the two girls, and was somewhat relieved to learn that they had just returned from the night school established by the church.

However, even though Abner's name was mentioned, the two girls were still very wary of him. Aitris had to regretfully leave this dilapidated apartment that was filled with moisture and mixed with various smells. He decides to wait until he finds a suitable way to help them, in order to repay Sam for saving his life.

After seeing Ai Triss turned and left, the younger girl looked at his back and couldn't help sighing: "Actually, this gentleman is a good person. My mother just doesn't want to get in touch with him too much. I don't mean to blame him..."

"I know, but so what? The news he brought made my mother sad! And...that man ~IndoMTL.com~ I don't admit it's my father!"

…

Farewell to the two girls, Ai Triss turned and returned to Black Palm Street, entered the temporary residence she rented here, changed into a more convenient attire for walking at night, and then headed towards another block controlled by gangsters go.

There is something he hunts there.

…

In the middle of the night

There is a "click".

Abner, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a small voice coming from his ear.

He woke up immediately, turned on the gas lamp in the room, and stroked the "Light Ring" ring, ready to be activated at any time.

Woo!

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past without warning, and the light of the gas lamp suddenly turned dark green.
