"Yes, yes...what's wrong? Aren't you going to arrest him?" The drunkard looked at Arthur, whose expression was ghastly and terrifying.
"What are you scolding?" Arthur looked at Linn through the window.
Lin En is really tolerant, even if such a rotten drunkard blocks the door and yells at her, she doesn't react at all.
This was good, as it just gave him a chance to show that Lin En owed him a favor.
"Dead and crippled, trash and all that..." The drunkard felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
"You're tired of living." Arthur grabbed the drunkard's neck as easily as he caught a chicken and pulled him aside.
At this moment, the drunkard completely sobered up.
He found that he had overlooked something.
Lin En is a cripple and never goes out, so it is impossible to offend anyone.
So this person seemed to be a ruthless person who was not easy to mess with, and he did not come to trouble Lin En.
"No, no, no, I didn't, I never scolded Lin En." The drunkard struggled and defended.
Unfortunately, Arthur's hands were like steel, clamping down on him tightly.
Before he could defend or beg for mercy, Arthur slammed his head against the wall.
"Bang!"
"ah!!"
The drunkard suddenly suffered a bloody head and screamed in agony.
Just when Arthur was about to do it again, Linn opened the door and stood with difficulty holding on to the door frame: "Don't be so harsh."
"Ah." Arthur turned his head and let go of his hand.
"What I mean is, teach him a lesson without killing him." Seeing that Arthur was about to let the drunkard go, Linn had to clarify his meaning again.
"That's it." Arthur grinned, held a cigarette in his mouth, and stepped on the drunkard who was about to get up. "How can you let him ride on your head?"
"Looking at me like this, can I solve it myself?" Lin En said.
"You can call your brother, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with such a trash." Arthur kicked the drunkard hard, and the drunkard curled up and spit out blood.
Really strong.
Lin En was secretly speechless when she saw this scene.
When Arthur solved the case last night, he had not yet shown his strength and superiority in fighting. Looking at it today, he had to change his mind.
Maybe Arthur is actually a pretty good ally.
"I, I was wrong, ahem, I'm sorry, please spare me..." The drunkard hugged Arthur's leg desperately and begged for mercy.
"Go and beg Linn." Arthur shook off the drunkard in disgust and waited for Linn to express his position.
"Lin...Lynn...uh hiss..." The drunkard was beaten three times by Arthur until he couldn't stand up. He could only crawl towards Linn, "I...I was wrong, forgive me, forgive me."
Let me, I will never, never cause trouble again...I'm sorry..."
He bullies the weak and fears the strong, dares to yell at himself, and acts like a dog in front of Arthur.
Lin En was too lazy to pay more attention to him: "Go away."
"Thank you... thank you..." The drunkard crawled towards his home as if he had received an amnesty.
"Come in." Linn invited Arthur into the home.
"Do you mind?" Arthur stood at the door and waved his cigarette.
"It's okay, sit down." Linn sat in the wheelchair and gave up the lower bunk bed to Arthur.
"Why do you live in a place like this?" Arthur closed the door, walked around Linn with difficulty, and sat on the bed.
Lin En rubbed his aching legs: "Surprised?"
"I just think you are not simple. Even if your life is not much better, it will not be so difficult." Arthur said.
"So I'm trying to make money by writing novels." Lynn gave Arthur the polished first story in "The Sherlock Holmes".
Arthur didn't know much and wasn't interested in novels. He flipped through it and returned it to Linn: "It's pretty good. Then I'll find someone for you and see if I can submit it to the biggest newspaper."
"Thank you."
"What do you have in mind next?" Arthur got straight to the point.
"You mean the cleaning task?" Linn put the manuscript away.
"certainly."
"What we know is still very limited, and we are generally very passive. There is nothing else we can do except wait." Linn thought about this at night.
"I was thinking that the two of us could stay together until the next cleanup mission begins. In this case, we should still be able to receive the same mission." Arthur was determined to be tied to Linn.
Lin En was a little worried: "If there are more people, the difficulty of the task will probably increase. For example, your first task only has 100 points, and the second one has 200 points. This is naturally related to the rules, but it should also be related to the number of people."
"Increasing difficulty means more points, which is neither a good thing nor a bad thing." Arthur is more optimistic.
"It makes sense." Lin En nodded slightly.
"Do you think we should try to find other awakened ones? It's better to stay together as a group than to fight alone." Linn alone was not enough to maximize Arthur's sense of security.
"For so many days, we are the only awakened people we have seen each other. This shows that the number of awakened people is very rare and cannot be found casually on the street." This matter is not difficult for Lin En. He has the ability.
He has the ability to see everyone's true identity, but he hasn't revealed his trump card to Arthur yet.
"I am also thinking about this problem, and the awakened people will not take the initiative to admit their identity. Looking for it rashly is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack." Arthur had a headache, "But idleness is still idle, why not find something serious to do."
What did Linn think of: "If you have nothing to do, can you do me one more favor?"
"you say."
"Can you go and see my brother secretly?" Linn still remembered that Matt's corruption value was increasing every day. Most likely, Matt could not be expected to tell the reason on his own initiative.
No matter what, Matt is the most trustworthy person in the world, and he can't just sit back and watch him deteriorate like this.
"What happened to him?" Arthur asked.
"He must have encountered some trouble outside, but he didn't disclose it to me. I don't need you to help him solve it. As long as you can find out what happened to him and tell me the truth." Now that I have decided to go with Arthur.
If the cooperation continues, Lin En will not be so coy about entrusting the other party to do things.
Arthur weighed it in his mind and concluded that investigating the matter was not difficult, so he readily agreed: "Okay, I will help you with this matter as well."
"He works as a chimney sweep in a wealthy area..." Lynn informed Arthur of Matt's situation.
Arthur made a note of it, stood up and threw the cigarette butt outside the house: "I'll do it later."
Lin En put the first story manuscript of "The Sherlock Holmes" into a document bag: "Originally, I wanted to write the second story and bring it to the newspaper, but now it looks like this, the second story
It will take another day or two to finish."
"Don't worry, it's not that easy to contact people from major newspapers. Once you finish writing the second article, the time is probably just right." Arthur said, "I will focus on investigating your brother's situation first.
If his problem is within my ability, I will help him solve it. If not, I can only look to you."
"Thank you." After calculating this, Arthur has helped several times in a short period of time, and Linn also has to make some gestures, "I hope we can win-win in the future tasks. As for finding other awakened people, I think
Find a way."
"You have a good mind, I'll leave this kind of mental work to you." Arthur complimented Lin En, "That's it for now, I'll go to the city to find your brother now."
The work was done very neatly.
Its corruption value of [100] seems to be no problem.
"You have to be careful yourself. The situation in the rich area is quite complicated. My leg was crushed by a few wealthy disciples' cars." Before Arthur left, Linn reminded him symbolically.
Arthur showed his Sheriff's ID: "I am a Sheriff now. Although I won't be looked down upon by those powerful people, no one will take the initiative to cause trouble for me."
"That's good."
"No more, I will come to you after I finish the investigation." Arthur opened the door and noticed the details, "Your brother is not here during the day, right? If this matter is found out, will you have to avoid your brother?"
"Yes, it's best not to let him know first. You can come to me anytime during the day. I basically stay at home." Lin En said.
"Okay, then you can slowly write your novel. I'm leaving." Arthur went out and went straight to the core area of Tswold City - the wealthy area.
After watching Arthur leave, Linn calmed down and started writing the second short story.
