"Well, let's go." Guan Guan asked Xingtu to walk in front, "Wait a minute, remember not to walk too straight, keep your head down, and walk like a wanderer."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xingtu sighed. "Your requirements are really high."
Guan Guan said calmly: "This is the most basic quality of being a secret worker."
The dilapidated entrance of Slum No. 13 is right in front of you. Next to the entrance stands a time-honored wooden sign with some strange large characters engraved on it.
"No. 13 Northeast South"
Slum No. 13 is full of people with sallow complexions and skinny bodies, and people who don’t wash their bodies with dirt.
This kind of place full of filth and sin has free access and no personnel management at all, making it one of the few places outside the law.
But the strange thing is that the crime rate and fatality rate here are not high.
On the surface, it looks like a paradise for the poor.
All kinds of billboards are randomly "stacked" together in the market, which is dazzling.
The narrow roads and suffocating population density make the journey to the stars very depressing.
Temporary houses made of various dilapidated materials, as well as household garbage randomly discarded on the roadside, are emitting a stench.
Crowded buildings are dotted together.
"Is this Slum No. 13?" Xingtu looked at everything in front of him in shock, "Won't the federal government headquarters intervene?"
"Yes, that's what you think. Put away your curiosity." Guan Guan whispered, "This is a place that you can't control even if you want to."
"Yeah, okay." Xingtu nodded.
"Pay more attention to the daily conversations of the people around you, and there are some unusual signs." A glimmer of light that is difficult for ordinary people to detect flashed in Zhen Guan's eyes.
There are many people on the street, mostly small vendors and passers-by. People rarely talk to each other, only the vendors shout.
Xingtu pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the chaotic conversations around him, constantly looking at the terrifying environment in front of him.
He doesn't want to stay here for a moment,
The strong wind relentlessly penetrated the holes in the clothes, and the smell of mud continued to come from the body.
Criterion seems to be well adapted to this environment, and she is very good at hiding herself in the crowd.
Cries came from a narrow fork in the road not far away.
It turned out that a fat man with a cheap cigarette in his mouth bumped into a little girl.
The flesh on his face trembled, his brows furrowed, and he directly waved the little girl down with his big, thick hand.
"The little bastard blocking the road is really in the way."
The little girl in a shabby skirt was pushed to the ground and rolled on the ground like a ball.
Finally, the body rolled down into a pile of foul-smelling garbage.
Then, the big fat man walked away without even looking at the little girl.
Her knees were scratched by the uneven ground, revealing red and swollen marks, and she cried helplessly.
But no one wanted to help her stand up.
The passers-by who were watching indifferently walked away numbly, as if something they were accustomed to had happened.
Xingtu saw this scene completely, his mind became hot, and he was ready to step forward to help her.
But Guan Guan coldly stopped in front of him.
Xingtu said expressionlessly: "Guidelines, get out of my way!"
"I won't get out of the way." Guan Guan said coldly and ruthlessly, "Xingtu, put away your sympathy. You can help her for a while, but you can't help her forever. Successfully completing the investigation mission is the most important thing at the moment."
Xingtu's face gradually darkened, "I don't care how strong your nerves are or how ruthless your character is, but I am me, you are you, and I am different from you."
"The so-called special correspondent must complete the mission under any circumstances."
Xingtu walked to the little girl and stretched out his hand to her.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, uncle, I'm not a bad person."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then tremblingly held Xingtu's broad hand and stood up again.
Guan Guan watched Xingtu's actions silently and hesitated to speak.
"Little girl, you..." Before Xingtu could finish his words, Zhen Guan sent him a secret instruction through invisible contact.
[Take the little girl away first, find a place to stay and then discuss the follow-up content. 】
So Xingtu picked up the little girl, and amidst the little girl's exclamations, he followed the guidelines and ran.
The pedestrians around him didn't pay much attention, after all, they had seen this kind of thing many times.
Principle ran quickly, trying to make his actions conform to the cave and not attract special attention.
Zhen Guan turned down a hidden path and walked into a shack.
"It turns out to be [Mr. Gray Wolf], do you still want to rent a room today?" The boss in the shack seemed to be familiar with the rules.
Guan Guan used a voice changer to speak in a hoarse baritone voice, "No, I want two rooms today."
Then he groped around for a long time and placed a large pile of coins on the counter.
"Okay, the room is ready, just go up and tell us your name.
"The boss stared at the coin closely, fearing that it would suddenly disappear.
Guan Guan said: "Thank you, I'll go up first."
According to the coordinates issued by the guideline, Xingtu caught up a few minutes later.
The little girl in her arms had already fainted from fright.
Xingtu put the unconscious little girl on the simple but neat bed and gasped for air.
"You're so tired after running such a short distance, and you're talking about how you want to protect you all the time." Guan Guan said without mercy, "I can finally see you clearly, Xingtu."
"That sentence is true. Maybe I can't do it now, but..."
"Okay, we're going to stay here for one night. You should explain it to her first, and then come to me to discuss it." Zhan Guan glanced at the unconscious little girl and went directly back to the room next door.
There wasn't even a chair in the room. In order to wait for the little girl to wake up, Xingtu could only stand beside the bed and wait quietly.
Xingtu had been waiting for a long time. He was so exhausted today that he almost fell asleep standing up.
"ah!"
The little girl woke up in bed and screamed in panic.
"Well, you finally woke up." Xingtu yawned and said to the little girl.
The little girl huddled up in the quilt and looked at Xingtu with a fearful look.
"Bad guy, don't come here!" the little girl whimpered.
"Don't be afraid, uncle, I'm really not a bad person..." Xingtu explained awkwardly to the little girl.
"It's okay. Let's just sleep here today." Xingtu sat on the edge of the bed, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoya. I am eight years old. Thank you Uncle Xingtu for saving me. If it weren't for Uncle Xingtu's help, I might have been trampled to death by passers-by." Xiaoya's voice was very soft.
"It's okay, Xiaoya, just sleep peacefully. I'll take you home tomorrow." Xingtu forced out an unnatural smile.
Is Slum 13 so chaotic? Xingtu thought to himself.
"Ever since my parents went out to work, they never came back." Xiaoya lowered her head sadly, "I no longer have a home."
"Uncle Xingtu, I will definitely find a way for you to find a new home." Xingtu touched Xiaoya's messy hair, "You can sleep peacefully."
"Really? Thank you, Uncle Xingtu." Xiaoya shed tears of joy.
"Stop crying." Xingtu held Xiaoya in his arms and patted her back to comfort Xiaoya.
"It's getting late. Xiaoya is a good child. Go to sleep. I will stay with you until you fall asleep."
