Rows of black police cars with red and blue lights flashing wildly passed through the streets, like ghosts in the sun, which made people feel a little cold.
For ordinary people in Beijing, they do not know what major incident occurred at the World Bank at this moment. They only know that the entire city has entered a state of first-level alert.
But what exactly happened, under the information barrier of clearly defined classes, not many people can tell clearly.
We can only try to get some clues from the faces of the serious-looking black-robed enforcement teams and the Beijing Security Bureau scattered at various street intersections in the city.
This time things are quite big!
But how big exactly.
But no one knows.
I secretly speculated in my heart that if something happened to the World Bank Building, everyone in Beijing would know who was behind it.
After all, it can't be the boss behind the World Bank. The current head of the Bart family died suddenly, right?
Do not make jokes.
As soon as this guess came to mind, many people were shocked by their bold and boring guess.
What is the identity of the Tianhu Bart family?
All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.
impossible!
There is no way this is possible.
In a stable black car.
"Your Majesty, the Shangjing Security Bureau has deployed defenses at the entrances and exits of all sewers in Shangjing. As soon as the opponent appears, they will immediately and accurately locate them." The person in charge of the special operations of the Shangjing Security Bureau, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said cautiously.
The second ruling made Pousso Wiseman sit leisurely in the back seat. After hearing this, he glanced at the other party and shook his head noncommittally, "Then what if the other party never shows up? Wait and wait? I don't like to be so passive.
The way."
The person in charge of the security agency glanced at the other party through the rearview mirror in the car, and said after careful consideration, "It's not impossible to take the initiative to knock him down, it's just..."
"Just what?" Puso Wiseman asked.
The person in charge of the Security Agency said with some disgust, "Master Judgment Division, you may not know much about it, but there are actually many human beings living in the underground waterway under our feet. If we really want to investigate, it may be no less difficult than visiting people door to door on the ground."
"A lot of people live here?"
The second ruling made Pousso Wiseman slightly startled, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile, "Oh, are you talking about the losers who were eliminated by this city?"
"That's right, those damn guys live underground like rats. It's very difficult to investigate."
Before the person in charge of the security hall finished speaking, he was interrupted by a light voice coming from the back seat.
"Why do we need to investigate?"
"Uh-huh?"
The person in charge of the Security Bureau couldn't help but be stunned.
A smile appeared on Puso Wiseman's lips. He leaned back slightly on the leather backrest, raised one leg and said nonchalantly, "If they are mice, then just get rid of them all."
Hearing the other party's understatement, the person in charge of the Security Bureau suddenly trembled.
But for no apparent reason, a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood with rolling heads appeared in his mind, and even his nose seemed to be filled with a strange smell of blood.
"But."
He opened his mouth subconsciously.
I would say that the number of rats living in the sewers is not a small number. I am afraid that the number of unidentified criminals has reached a rather alarming number in recent years.
"Nothing but, do rats still have any significance to this city?"
Puso Wiseman's tone suddenly lost its previous smile and became a little cold.
He said unhurriedly,
"I am solely responsible for this arrest. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible for it. You only need to be responsible for the execution."
"In two days, I want to see no more rats in the sewers."
The person in charge of the Security Bureau was very aware of the strong strength and surly temperament of the young man behind him, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard the other person's suddenly cold voice.
Immediately he sighed and could only mourn for the "rat people" living in the sewers of this city.
He is responsible for the city's security. Although he will go to the sewers to "sweep" several times every year at the end of the year, the lives of those "rat men" are not a big deal in his eyes.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Those "rat men" are not completely useless. At least before the "sweeping" at the end of each year, there will be a "big rat" who knows the current affairs and will give him 70% of the year's harvest in advance.
If the "rat men" in the underground sewers were really slaughtered and wiped out by the man in the back seat this time, I'm afraid they would lose a considerable amount of income every year in the future.
This was the reason why he felt regretful.
Shangjing underground sewer.
Along the way Higashinohara walked, the people on the floor in the dark and damp drainage channel looked at him, a person who did not belong to the underground world, and he was also looking at this completely unfamiliar world.
Higashinohara found that this place was a bit like a shantytown in his previous life, except that the narrow houses that were sheltered from the wind and rain were turned into natural sewers, and the ventilation and lighting were extremely poor.
Not only that, this seemingly good public natural shelter also hides many invisible natural and man-made disasters.
Needless to say about man-made disasters.
The annual investigation may lead to their arrest and death, but as long as you pay enough "rent", it is actually not bad. There are "big rats" above who will notify you in advance to evacuate before the investigation and sweep.
That's right,
This is what paying rent in the sewer means.
It's free to live under the sewer.
But security costs money.
If you don't want to become an unjust ghost in those one or two days, you must pay a lot of rent every month, otherwise you might be arrested on any day of the year.
What happens if you are captured?
Anyway, these people who live in the sewers,
Those who were taken away during the raid on the Shangjing Security Bureau were never seen again.
As they are used to people disappearing frequently, they will naturally become numb over time.
But man-made disasters are only part of the hidden crisis.
In any world,
The end of all hardships is always a beautiful vision.
But the bloody fact is that hemp ropes only break at the thinnest places, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.
The Kyoto metropolitan area is adjacent to the West Sea, and there are frequent heavy rains. Every time a sewer flood is released, while destroying the belongings and bedding of these sewer "rat men", real rats, cockroaches and other underground creatures in the sewers will also cause plagues and diseases.
Spread wildly again and again
All of the above.
It doesn't sound like this is a place for people to live.
But in fact,
However, there are many low-class people in Beijing who have no identity or status, living day after day in this dark place, and even continuing the family lineage.
It can only be said that human beings, no matter which world they are in, have extremely tough and tenacious vitality and adaptability, which is a bit scary.
Higashinohara looked at what he saw and heard along the way, holding Dorothy Alita in his arms, and followed Shura, who was limping in front of him, with a slightly depressed expression.
After a while of twists and turns, the field of vision in front of me suddenly broadened a little. From the originally low and depressed sewer pipe, I walked into a pipe that was twice as high as before.
Almost at the same time they walked in, several thin bamboo pole-like men in ragged clothes and full of grease surrounded them with eyes like vultures in the wild.
Several people's eyes also fell on Dorothy Alita in Higashinohara's arms, and their eyes were filled with some undisguised greed.
Higashinohara immediately knew,
These may be "big rats" in sewers.
"You know who they are, we don't welcome outsiders here."
At this time, a sturdy bald middle-aged man walked up from behind those people. There was a large tattoo on the back of his head, showing the sense of oppression he needed to bring to others.
The moment he saw the faint light shining on the other person's tattoo, Higashinohara also reacted.
This is a capable person.
It's right to think about it. In the Kyoto metropolitan area, the political and economic center of the world, even the sewers have never seen the light of day all year round.
If you want to become a "big rat" here, you naturally need the ability to control people.
"Don't worry, he is my trustworthy friend." Shura glanced at the other person and said noncommittally.
"friend?"
The bald man looked at Higashinohara and Dorothy Alita in his arms. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at them carefully. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but said, "I need to know his true identity."
"Of course I can tell you."
Shura's face also became a little cold, and he stared into the other person's eyes and said, "But please believe that knowing their identities is not a good thing for you. The people living here are all nameless people."
Isn’t that a great person?”
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
The people around seemed to have taken a step forward, and some even stretched their hands behind their backs.
"That's right, we are all unknown people." The bald man and Shura looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.
However, the next second,
But he said bluntly, "Listen, I'm not a fool. I don't know if you and your damn friends robbed a bank in the World Bank Building or caused something else, but now everyone in Beijing is looking for you."
he."
"Now, get out of here and don't cause any trouble for me." The bald man issued an eviction order.
Although he was limited by his status and information channels, he did not know what Higashinohara did at the World Bank Tower until the incident was fully exposed.
But this does not affect the sense of danger that a low-level boss like him has developed over the years.
He sent a message earlier today asking people at the Metropolitan Police Department.
On a normal day, even though that damn heavenly being doesn't treat them as human beings, for the sake of money, at least he will reply to the message.
But this time,
The other party did not reply to any messages.
When he tried to call the other party, he found out that the bastard who gave them 70% of their income every year had directly put his number on the blacklist.
It was as if she was eager to break up the relationship with him.
damn it.
What happened?
At this moment, Shura was rejected by the other party. He turned around and looked at Higashinohara, but there was not much disappointment on his face.
He just stared at them and said,
"Risk and reward have always been twins. People like us have to take risks if we want to make money in a place like Shangjing. I heard that there was a flood in the sewers during heavy rains a while ago, so I think you must be in need now.
money."
When the flood is discharged, everyone has to temporarily move out of the sewers, just like the hawkers chased by the urban management in the previous life, hiding in every corner of the city and eking out an existence.
If we return here after the flood, the "rent" during this period will naturally be wasted.
The bald man also seemed to have fallen silent. Unexpectedly, the other party had even considered the dilemma of their duel. After a moment, he asked first,
"How much can you give?"
The other party didn't ask first what needed to be done.
And asked how much.
That means there is still room for discussion.
Higashinohara looked at Shura, who had already opened five fingers towards the bald man.
"fifty thousand?"
The bald man was stunned when he saw this.
When Shura heard this, he shook his head, stared into the other person's eyes and said, "The currency unit of five million is Tianyuan."
For a moment, the people gathered around were slightly startled, as if they were a little frightened.
Even the bald man's heartbeat accelerated a beat, and his breathing suddenly became hot and rapid.
But in just a blink of an eye, he quickly adjusted back to normal, and glared viciously at the excited subordinates around him.
Finally, his eyes fell on Shura and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.
Shura shook his head,
Interrupt the other party in advance.
"Listen, I don't like haggling. Besides, you and I both know that this money is definitely much higher than the normal price. If you say anything about bargaining, I will leave here immediately."
Shura glanced at the other party indifferently and said meaningfully, "You are not the only 'big rat' in this underground world. I only found you today because I happened to have heard of your name."
Having said this, he stretched out a hand and looked at the bald man quietly from a distance, "Please answer me now, will we cooperate happily?"
Shura's words were not polite.
In fact,
In this underground world,
Any politeness will be seen as weakness.
At this moment, the bald man's eyes suddenly became a little sinister.
As the eldest among these people, he didn't like this passive feeling in front of so many people.
Inadvertently, his eyes drifted to Higashinohara and Dorothy Alita behind Shura. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, but he did not reach out to hold Shura's outstretched hand.
He said in a serious tone, "Yes, of course you can go to other 'big rats', but for me, there is more than one way to make money. Although I don't know what you did at the World Bank, I
I think those hyenas on the ground will be happy to hear about you now."
"First of all, let me state that I am an honest and trustworthy businessman, but I can't guarantee that when you turn around and leave here to find someone else to cooperate, one of my men will accidentally leak something." At this point, his
A proud smile suddenly appeared on his face.
yes!
This is his home court.
These damn outsiders want something from him.
Why are you so arrogant?!
Five million Tianyuan is very exciting.
And this huge amount of "extra money" doesn't have to be 70% taken away by the vampires above, but if it can be more, who will have trouble with money?
Hearing the undisguised threat from the other party, Shura looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed silently, took a step back and said inexplicably:
"Don't go too far."
"Is it too much? I'm fine." The corners of the bald man's mouth curled up slightly, as if he wanted to say something else.
However, at this moment,
An extremely sad and cold glimmer suddenly flashed across his eyes.
How can there be light here?!
The next moment, there was a sharp sting on the left side of his cheek, and soon there seemed to be some viscous liquid crawling across most of the side of his face, and falling on his shoulder bit by bit.
He twitched his nose stiffly, and without warning, a strong smell of blood filled his entire nostrils!
How can a person's blood smell be so strong?
He looked up in shock, only to find that all the men around him were holding their wrists covered in blood and screaming in pain!
Immediately, amidst a series of "clang, clang, clang" sounds, the weapons that the men had hidden behind them and were ready to go fell to the ground in pain.
Realizing this,
The bald man's eyes suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at Higashinohara behind Shura.
But they found that the man, half of his body hidden in the shadow, was still standing there with the woman in his arms.
The whole person seemed not to move at all.
But in his hand, at some point, there was a sharp knife with a sharp blade stained with blood.
Higashinohara lowered his gaze, swung his sword with blood, and threw out a shocking arc of blood that hit the corner of the wall that was already stained with blood.
he is
When did you draw the knife?
The bald man suddenly froze in place.
At this time,
Shura, who just sighed, turned around, looked at Higashinohara, shook his head, sighed again and said:
"Oh, I told you not to go too far."
Higashinohara glanced at Shura, nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry, the sight just made me uncomfortable."
As soon as his calm words fell,
All the people who had looked at Dorothy and Alita, who were sleeping in Higashinohara's arms, with some kind of greed, instantly lowered their heads or turned away their heads!
