The houses in the big house area are not big. Lorna drove the off-road vehicle all the way. Gu He saw that almost all the houses on the street were low-cement buildings with several stories high. Some were like rough houses, and some were complete.
The exterior walls are painted in different colors.
Those blue, green, red and other whole wall paints have no vitality and are already old and starting to crack and peel.
The streets are messy, so cars drive very slowly.
There were crooked telephone poles, fallen wires, and clothes that looked like rags were hanging outside the clotheslines pulled by residents.
There are also roadside stalls, with a bunch here and a bunch there, filled with products related to voodoo culture, such as masks, voodoo dolls, puppets, human bones, animal bones and other things.
"These are all deceptive things." Vivian said, "They have no extraordinary effects and can only be used as ornaments."
Liar or not, Gu He didn't even intend to buy it. Those skulls, dolls with grimaces, etc., were eye-catching just by looking at them.
How could someone hang something like this above the bed in their bedroom? Doesn’t that start every day with a fright?
But the most chaotic thing on the streets is the situation caused by people. There are no traffic lights and no traffic rules.
Some passers-by were carrying goods on their heads, while others were carrying stereos and rolling around on rollers. The speakers were playing reggae music, and the lyrics talked about drugs and women.
"Liuguang City is not our homeland. Let us return to Fudu City and rebuild Fudu, so that our souls can be free!"
There was a tall, thin black man over there who kept shouting. When he was so excited, he knelt on the ground and screamed to the sky.
"The Rastafari sect," Vivian added, "advocates a return to Voodoo City, but who will listen?"
Voodoo is a black religion in the old world. Voodoo City and Voodoo areas are dominated by dark-skinned people, but mixed-race people can be seen everywhere, and people of all skin colors and nationalities are mixed in every area of Liuguang City, and there is no such thing here.
exception.
"Look over there." Vivian pointed in the direction, "A group of prostitutes."
Gu He looked out of the car window and saw a group of scantily clad girls standing on the street, smoking cigarettes, covered with tattoos, and with boring eyes. Some of the thin figures were obviously underage girls.
"In this city, you can tell the local economic level from the prostitutes." Vivian said with a smile, "The big house area is a little better than the muddy pond, but only a little."
Pandora's breathing suddenly became louder, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The most high-end prostitutes in the city are of course in the central area, in places like Heavenly Light.
"A few men will not destroy them, drugs will." Vivian continued, "Look at those with rotten teeth. They are drug addicts at first glance. They are controlled by gangs using drugs."
"I understand what you mean. You and Nimue have emerged from the filth without getting stained. You are very cool, right?" Lorna said with a sigh.
"I won't deny this." Vivian accepted the compliment. "Out of the ten girls in the voodoo district, nine are standing on the street. The winner is still Mud Pond, and ten of them are on the street."
In other districts, drug dealing may be a little more sneaky, but in the Voodoo District it is almost openly carried out.
There are some voodoo gang members on the street collecting money and selling small bags of stuff.
Not far away, there was a skinny poison ghost rolling and howling in addiction, begging for poison, but he was only kicked and beaten by the voodoo gang men, and he would only end up becoming a large piece of garbage in the garbage heap.
Feed countless flies.
"This place is really bad." Gu He frowned and sighed.
In comparison, Kabukicho is considered a paradise on earth, and the Walled City is indeed not a sinful city.
"Even street dogs, there are many kinds." Vivian said, "There are really many evil people here."
Suddenly, someone rushed out from a store on the street after robbing him, holding a pistol and a bag of change. The store owner yelled and cursed from behind, but no passers-by responded.
Some change fell on the ground, and it was immediately picked up by the homeless man, who quarreled with the boss and refused to return it.
There are much more homeless people on the street than in Kabukicho, sleeping in twos and threes on the street, or sitting in a daze.
This is a place close to collapse.
But Gu He knew something about it. Fudu City was once prosperous, and its economy and culture were very influential and promising.
Then the bank took action, and because of the theory of alternation of epochs, the eighth epoch will replace the seventh epoch.
Voodoo culture, which is considered to be the leader of the Eighth Age, has been suppressed and poisoned in both Voodoo City and Voodoo District. How much chaos here is actually caused by the banks.
"Big house, big house, that's where the good Bundy lives." Vivian hummed again, matching the chaotic and noisy sounds on the street.
"The road conditions are like shit." Lorna spat and patted the steering wheel, "How to go, where to go first?"
What they are looking for this time is the key program segment numbered 7.
Number 7 corresponds to the seventh house, which is a blood eater and has no side door.
But of course the person who was responsible for keeping this program segment was not a blood eater, but also a police officer from the Secret Bureau. He died long ago, but one of his sons survived and grew up in the Voodoo District. Now he has committed a crime and is arrested by Voodoo.
Help shut it down.
Pandora was able to find these clues. It was Fulin who had contact with some descendants at that time.
After she started working, she found them one by one.
"Let's go to the Good Bondi Bar and find a middleman first. A middleman is better than none."
Vivian pointed to the road and Lorna followed.
There are countless bars called "Good Bondi" throughout the district, and the one they went to was the Good Bondi Bar on Mambo Street.
The car drove a long way, and the road conditions and surrounding environment did not change much. They were still chaotic and depressed. However, the closer we got to the center of the district, the more high-rise buildings began to appear, most of which were apartment buildings full of people.
"Each high-rise building can also be regarded as a big house." Vivian further explained, "The high-rise buildings you can see all belong to the territory controlled by a certain gang. Sometimes there are direct fights between buildings."
The more Gu He saw and heard here, the more he felt that what Elizabeth said was right.
Yakuza is a violent group, but without Yakuza, will Kabukicho become a better place? No.
I wonder if there really is a pure land in Luozhou...
He began to have some doubts about this. Judging from the situation in Flowing Light City, the more remote the area, the worse it seemed.
When we arrived at Mambo Street, there was a little bustling scene. Although the roads and various urban facilities were still sparse, there were some neon signs and more vehicles. The streets were also full of prostitutes, homeless people and drug addicts.
The Good Bondye Bar is located on the street, with a giant thumbs up neon sign: Good Bondye
Lorna's off-road vehicle cannot be parked casually. This kind of out-of-town vehicle will be robbed after being parked for a while.
Not to mention the contents of the car, the tires will definitely be removed. If you wait a little longer, someone will definitely use a chainsaw to cut away all the edges, corners, and scraps of the car.
Vivian got out of the car first, chatted with the doorman of the bar, gave some money, and asked help to watch.
When Lorna got out of the car and walked away, she looked back at the heavily equipped off-road vehicle and was really worried.
Gu He knew that she cherished this car. After all, according to her, she had been sleeping in this car at night for the past two years.
The three of them followed Vivian into the Good Bondi Bar, where the music was lively but the lighting was dark. One wall was covered with skulls tied with straw ropes and wires, as well as many voodoo cultural gadgets.
There is a row of seats beside the L-shaped bar, and there are some weird stone carvings beside the chairs, as if they are having fun with the drinkers.
There was a dance floor inside, and some men and women were dancing to pop music, dressed in Mambo-La Paz style clothes.
"Vivian!" Suddenly someone saw the group of people walking in with sharp eyes.
Vivian smiled and told Gu He and the others, that's it, the Super Dance Gang, and then she introduced everyone to each other.
When those super dancers heard that he was the fierce Gu He, they suddenly screamed and screamed.
"You guys know each other, no wonder Nimue is so confident that she can be fucked by him!" the man named Bagman shouted.
What the hell!? Gu He was confused and felt like he was going to die. What the hell was Nimue talking about?
Lorna stood beside her with her arms folded on her chest, "Should we dance first?"
In the end, there was no dancing, and the four of them sat down at the bar. They talked about business with Radha, the bar owner and middleman, while Bagman and others continued to go back to the dance floor and twist their bodies.
Lada is a middle-aged man with dark skin, some signs of mixed race, not too tall, with an afro, and a kind expression.
"These friends of mine want to make a deal with the Voodoo Gang." Vivian said, "Rada, can you make arrangements."
"The Voodoo Gang, you have to be careful. They won't have any admiration for your ability to defeat the Metropolitan Police Department. They will only be interested in what good things you have to do that."
Radha's voice is hoarse and a little slurred when he speaks fast, but he usually speaks slowly.
He poured a glass of beer for each of the four of them. It was his invitation, and he paid tribute to the war on the top.
"Yakuza can help me say hello. Do you think it's better to say hello or not to say hello?"
Vivian added that they had discussed this matter on the road and she thought it would be better not to say hello yet.
Because the Voodoo Gang won't buy it, try to keep this matter low-key and normal, which will go more smoothly.
"In Kabukicho, Yakuza is the largest. In the big house area, Yakuza is not even a gang."
Lada really meant the same thing, "I am the middleman and I won't tell you too much. I just want to remind you that there are rules and styles here."
Gu He didn't drink beer, but took a sip of wolfberry water from the thermos cup.
The Nagano team has always wanted Roden-Lourde to come back to life, and they will help in any way they can.
Elizabeth couldn't help much, and it would be even more troublesome if she attracted the attention of the vultures in the bank.
Anyway, Vivian believed that if the Voodoo Gang knew that they put so much effort into getting someone, the Voodoo Gang would realize that the person was worth a lot, and would probably make things difficult for him and raise the price.
It would be best if only Pandora came forward and neither he nor Lorna made any noise.
"What kind of deal do you want to do?" Lada asked.
Vivian nodded to Lorna, Rada was reputable, and there was no other middleman in the area more reliable than him.
Moreover, the Super Dance Gang has a good relationship with Lada. Although this place is not as good as a fish pond, it is not just any place.
"We want to ransom someone." Lorna said while drinking beer. "That guy's nickname is 'Surf Worm'. He is a lead dancer and an Internet cowboy. He was caught stealing from the Voodoo Gang, but he has something
Something we want.”
"Surf worm..." Lada nodded silently, "I've never heard of it."
Vivian said before that she didn't know or heard of Surf Worm.
The Voodoo District is the place with the most numerous and complex street characters, and hundreds of new street legends can be created every week.
For the house boys here, making a name for themselves on the street, making their nicknames famous, and then entering a big house, having a lot of money to spend and having sex with a lot of women, this is the voodoo version of the streamer's dream.
However, nine times out of ten, they become corpses that rotted to the point of exploding in garbage piles on the roadside.
Surf Worm is an extraordinary person, and his business is different from ordinary people, so his death should be more heroic.
"What do we need to do to get someone like him back from the Voodoo Gang?" Pandora asked.
Surf Worm is about the same age as them. After the accident, he escaped to the Voodoo District and grew up.
"It depends on what he stole." Lada said while wiping the skull statue on the bar: "Steal some drugs, steal a few guns, steal a prosthetic body, steal a woman, these are all
Nothing.
"But you say he is a cyber cowboy. What cyber cowboys like to steal most is data. Data involves secrets. If he stole any data such as personality materials, it's hard to say."
"It shouldn't be that serious." Vivian shrugged, "Otherwise, I would have cut him into meat and fed him to the dogs. How can I still keep him?"
"What are you going to redeem him for?" Lada asked again.
"Money." Pandora said simply and directly, "If you can buy it back with money, buy it back with money."
Although this is indeed the easiest and least troublesome way to solve it.
But Gu He felt really sad to hear that. Money, even if the Voodoo Gang didn't raise the price, it could be several million...
Now his total wealth is only 1.2 million, and 300,000 was just given to him by Miss Ayane as a thank-you gift from the Nagano group.
Let's not talk about Lorna. She is a poor person and the ten thousand yuan she owes him has not yet been paid.
Pandora had saved quite a bit of money before, and he didn't know how much, but she said she wouldn't give out all of it, not even a big part. What she meant was that if Lorna didn't have it, she would borrow it from Yakuza, and Yakuza would definitely do it.
borrow.
"Rada, please ask for a price first." Lorna said, "Don't wear our bottoms yet."
"Little girl, I understand this, surf worm, remember it." Lada responded, turned around and walked out of the L-shaped bar, walked to the back room of the bar to communicate, and let them do what they wanted first.
"Come on, Dahe, let me teach you how to dance Mambo. That time you danced with red-haired Liz, but you were too stiff."
Vivian immediately stood up and pulled the stunned Gu He towards the dance floor, "Be more stiff with me."
"I'll dance with you!" Lorna took a sip of beer and stood up from the stage.
