A strange combination started drinking in the pub.
The three of Su Lun were drinking heavily.
And suddenly, Sam and several members of the Cross Society rushed into the tavern in a panic, carrying heavy firepower and firearms.
They glanced around the tavern, and their eyes instantly caught Kai in the booth.
Seeing no one else, Sam strode over and said eagerly: "Captain, it's not good! Among the troublemakers we killed before, I heard that one of them was a cadre of the Steam Party.
My brother-in-law. I got news that the guy "Red Hair" Kuntu is coming with a group of people, and he seems to be planning to cause trouble for us! Captain, let's gather the brothers quickly..."
This guy said a long string of words in one breath, and it felt like he could hardly breathe.
Gang fights are normal, especially on territory where two gangs are in contact.
Originally, this was a very urgent matter.
The enemy is approaching with great force, and the Cross Society must also gather its brothers. Not to say that there will definitely be a conflagration, but at least they will not be taken advantage of by others in terms of numbers.
However, after Sam finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere at the wine table was a little strange.
By the way, shouldn't the captain slap the table and start shaking people at this time?
But... Kai seemed calm.
He even picked up the wine and took a slow sip from the cup before sneering: "Brother-in-law? Haha... It seems like those guys from the 'Steam Party' are deliberately looking for excuses to start a war."
Su Lun also remained silent, glancing at the gambling-addicted young woman next to him from the corner of his eye.
In other places, he might still worry about his own safety.
But now...
Senjou's back was facing the door of the tavern. Just now, Sam and the others were only looking for Kai, and they didn't notice that the woman on the table seemed familiar.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right now, the big eyes stared at the small eyes, and then they recognized that the big flowery arms were thousands.
"Senjo Senjo?"
Sam and others were pleasantly surprised.
Qian Jiao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked lazily: "What happened..."
"That, from the Steam Party..."
Sam was just about to repeat the plot, but after looking at Qianjiu's bored expression, he changed his words with a flattering look on his face: "Ah, you're here, so it's okay."
Everyone: "..."
Not long after, there was a roar of locomotives outside the door, and the infamous "speeding gang" of the Steam Brotherhood came to Green Street.
Su Lun looked at the well-modified steam Harley motorcycles at the door with a little bit of envy. Apart from anything else, the mechanical modification technology in the outer city was indeed superior to that of the Steam Party.
More than twenty guys with modified mechanical prosthetics and armed with long guns and short cannons rushed into the "Elephant Tavern" aggressively, scaring the tavern drinkers into running away.
Judging by his posture, he looked like he was here to seek revenge.
But then, a dramatic scene happened.
The farce ended in a bizarre way before it even started.
The leading red-haired man saw Kai at the wine table, raised his gun and shouted: "Kayi, you..."
But before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the flowery-armed woman at the wine table, and his expression suddenly changed. He swallowed the harsh words he wanted to say, and then swallowed them back.
The red-haired man also had quick eyesight and quick hands. Without saying any nonsense, he raised the muzzle of the gun and inserted it into the holster on his waist. The red-haired man shook his head and immediately turned around and left the tavern, as if he had taken the wrong road.
This scene made the drinkers in the tavern who didn't know the truth look confused.
But the people at the Cross Club laughed and booed, "Hahahaha..."
Chijou ignored the people of the Steam Party who were leaving. She was a member of the Cross Society, and she had not yet lost her position by causing trouble to a squad leader from a rival gang.
She was almost done drinking, and she said to Kai: "Boy Kai, be careful lately. Those guys from the Steam Party are also coveting Green Street. I think there will be a lot of little tricks..."
Kai thoughtfully said: "I understand, Sister Senjo."
As for gangsters, they always face beatings and killings.
From the moment they join, they are ready.
.......
On the first day you joined the gang, you encountered many unexpected incidents, but the rest of the day returned to calm.
At seven o'clock every night, Kai will patrol with his team for half an hour and then disband.
The days seemed very leisurely.
Even the guys from the Steam Party have not appeared again since the time at the Elephant Tavern.
And the gambling-addicted young woman would definitely appear in the arena every night, dragging Su Lun along to gamble with her.
But gambling really depends on luck.
Even if Su Lun has good luck in gambling, he can't win every time.
Of course, his bet was very small, so winning or losing was acceptable.
But this Senjo sister showed the ups and downs of a gambler vividly.
When she was winning money, her words were clear and logical, such as "stop losses in time when you lose" and "stop as soon as you win"...
But when you really lose, you don’t care. If you lose once, you raise your bet, and if you lose again, you double your bet...
I can't even try to persuade him.
This kind of gambling method also caused her to win more than two million on the first day, but she lost everything within two days of squandering it.
This is also the normal behavior of dog gamblers. When they win money, they are intoxicated with money. When they lose money, they live in Qiaodong Street.
However, although this gambling-addicted young woman’s gambling products are mediocre, she has a good character.
She lost all her money, and besides eating and drinking, she didn't borrow a penny from Su Lun and Kai.
Su Lun had to go to the arena every day to harvest soul fragments, so he could only gamble with her. So the two of them got to know each other quite well as they kept going back and forth.
Senjou doesn't have any airs like a big sister, and the two of them can be considered fair-weather friends.
It's no wonder that she has a good relationship with the gang members in the club.
A few days later, Qian Tiao lost all the last savings in her pocket, and then returned home unwillingly. She planned to do some gang tasks to make money, and made an appointment with Su Lun to gamble someday.
Su Lun bid farewell to the gang leader, and his own life returned to peace.
Every night he would stay in the arena until dawn, then find a hotel to meditate, practice puppetry skills, and read alchemical classics...
The days are regular and leisurely, harvesting souls every day, practicing professional skills, and the experience points soar rapidly.
There are 8-10 corpses in the arena every day, and occasionally there are professional gladiatorial matches.
In the past few days, he has also developed a lot of weird abilities, such as "lip reading proficiency", "darts", "motorcycle riding skills", "Gwent card skills"...
A bunch of hodgepodge skills, everything.
However, he gradually discovered a problem.
That is, after his own firearm level and combat level increased, some of the experience stripped from the corpse became less and less.
Later, he also figured out that since he was close to the level of "advanced firearm proficiency", it was naturally impossible to learn too much from the corpse of a "junior proficient".
Although there are strengths and weaknesses, there are not many.
Fortunately, there is no risk. Sand can accumulate into a tower.
During this period, Su Lun went to the black market several times, but could not find his ideal planting drawings. However, he heard that in a few days, the black market would have a high-quality auction held from time to time every month, and that was a hunter.
When you and thieves focus on selling goods, a lot of good things will appear.
He planned to try his luck then.
.......
On this day, in the hotel.
A "bang" gunshot caused the lime dust on the wall to fall.
I don't know which unlucky guy got shot.
Although he was used to it, Su Lun's arms in the room still instinctively trembled when he heard the noise.
The rune pen stained with blue paint in his hand also deviated from the expected trajectory, like a crooked lipstick, leaving dazzling traces of failure on the doll's body.
"It failed again..."
Su Lun looked at the puppet in front of him that had been "changed beyond recognition" by himself, feeling helpless and bitter.
Although his concentration is not easily interrupted by the external environment, he cannot withstand the sudden frequency of quarrels, fights and gunshots.
There are often fights between drunken tenants in the corridors of cheap hotels. In this world where everyone is armed with a gun, fighting almost means a shootout, which is always scary. And just yesterday, an incident occurred in the room above Su Lun.
An unexpected incident occurred when the call girl conspired with her accomplices to shoot the escort. There was another burst of gunfire, and the bullets that penetrated the floor almost missed him downstairs.
"It's really hard to find a suitable place to live..."
Su Lun sighed slightly, feeling fed up with this harsh noise environment.
He wanted to find a soundproof, quiet place, preferably with a shooting range.
The puppeteer is originally a rare profession. The skills of related professions can hardly be stripped from the gladiators in the fighting field. They can only practice hard. The two processes of enchanting and glyphing are much more difficult than expected, requiring a quiet environment and a lot of practice.
Time to practice.
Now that he was disturbed, Su Lun didn't dwell on the sound of gunshots anymore.
He looked at the failed puppet in front of him and rolled his eyes. At this moment, the fingers of his hands suddenly bent, as if he had grasped some invisible object, and the puppet suddenly stood up strangely.
It was only half a meter tall, like a bare-bottomed toddler, and then started walking around the room.
The "click" and "click" sounds of the wooden joints rubbing against each other are a bit perceptive.
Su Lun stood there, his hands and ten fingers beating at high frequency as if playing a piano, and the puppet followed and made many movements. Although it still looked stiff, it could basically make some punches and kicks.
, rolling, stabbing with a knife...combat actions.
After practicing the manipulation for a while, Su Lun stopped when he felt that his finger muscles were stiff.
"call..."
He took a long breath.
He looked at the steel wire wrapped in his fingers, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "The steel wire is not thin enough, not tough enough, and the maneuverability is too low... It is really not easy to find a suitable wire material."
This was already the most suitable material he could find to control the puppets, but it was still a bit unsatisfactory.
He thought of the scene in the ruins of the manor where Pestoya controlled dozens of puppets at the same time and easily controlled the bald Ivan with silk threads.
It's the same manipulation of silk thread, but the effect is very different.
A semi-finished puppet, without suitable steel wires, and the control skills are very jerky...
He, a new "puppet master", still has a long way to go before he wants to use puppets to form a fighting force.
But Su Lun has a good mentality. He can reach this level in a few days. He feels that the progress is not bad.
There were still several hours before work, and Su Lun originally planned to continue practicing puppet control.
But at this moment, Kai's call suddenly came from the communicator: "All newcomers, gather at the old place, there is a distortion mission."
Su Lun did not dare to delay, checked the equipment and ammunition, and walked out of the room.
........
Shortly after the news of the assembly was sent out, "Red Hair" Kuntu of the Steam Party quietly sneaked into the vicinity of Green Street with a group of people.
A mysterious voice came from the communicator: "Captain Kuntu, it has been confirmed that Kai brought a group of newcomers, about 20 people, to Tongzilou."
