For Jason, who "left his hometown" and came to the "City that never sleeps" inexplicably, isn't the "City that never sleeps" like a "cage" where the jungle is completely predatory?
Although it seems free.
But essentially?
But it is bound here.
The day is precarious.
However, Jason would not say this.
He turned his head and looked at the 'collaborator' with a half-smile.
"Do you believe what he says?"
"I don't believe it, do you?"
"I don't believe it either."
"Who would believe a person who writes a diary?"
"Yes, no serious person can keep a diary."
"Do you keep a diary?"
"I won't write."
"Do you keep a diary?"
"Who can write down what's on his mind in a diary?"
"How can what is written be considered true to the heart?"
"Despicable."
"Despicable."
Jason and his ‘collaborator’ spoke to each other in perfect harmony, as if they were old friends whom they hadn’t seen for many years.
But just as the words fell and the two of them got acquainted and smiled, the 'collaborator' took action.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Invisible spider silk bounced from the corner of the secret room, and like an arrow from the string, it shot at Jason's vital parts, especially his face, and several of them shot out in unison.
Jason didn't dodge or dodge, he just raised his hand.
call!
A cone-shaped flame, with scorching heat, spurted out from the palm of the hand.
【Charles Burning Technique】!
[Charles Burning Technique], which has reached the master level, is not only powerful at the level of a 'warplane', but can also be controlled at will. Within a 50° range of 20 meters long and 2.0 meters high, it can change according to Jason's wishes.
At this time, that's it.
A cone-shaped flame not only disintegrated the flying spider silk, but also happened to cover the 'collaborator'.
"Ahhhhh!"
Amidst the miserable screams, the 'collaborators' rolled on the ground, trying to avoid the flames.
However, Jason moved his palm, and the cone-shaped flame immediately followed him.
Ten seconds later, the 'collaborator' turned into a charred corpse.
Jason glanced at the body of the 'collaborator'. He seemed to be very confident in his own flames. He did not go forward to check. Instead, he walked around the secret room to confirm that there was nothing worth paying attention to, and then picked up the
With a backpack filled with books, he turned around and walked out.
The 'collaborator' is not dead.
He knows.
The master of the secret passage, ‘Kulin’, is not dead.
He also knows.
Therefore, he decided to give the two of them a chance to fight to the death.
Of course, he would set a fire in order for the two of them to successfully fight to the death.
It's real fire.
Get out of the secret passage.
Jason threw the backpack on the ground and raised his hand to light it.
call!
The firelight is extremely dazzling at night in the 'city that never sleeps'.
Jason believed that such firelight would attract sufficiently curious residents of the 'City that Never Sleeps'.
And when these residents of the 'Sleepless City' see the secret passage, the 'collaborators' and 'Kulin' will naturally react.
As long as the two of them don't want to really die.
As for the original plan of the secret passage master ‘Kulin’?
Jason wouldn't care.
Not to mention 'pressing questions'.
He only believes that only by taking the initiative can he win.
He has to do it his own way.
The paper turned black in the flames, and more flames emerged, igniting the backpack. Immediately, the fire became more fierce.
Jason turned around as if he was about to leave.
At the same time, the two gems were thrown into his mouth one after another.
Red gemstone, sweet and creamy, like a ball of butter.
The blue gemstone is cool, refreshing, like mint candy.
Click!
Following his habit of eating sweets, Jason bit down slightly with his teeth.
Suddenly, a purer flavor appeared.
It doesn't explode like wine candies.
However, the richness really made Jason squint his eyes in pleasure.
[Swallowing the heart of the remaining flames]
[Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Satiety +100]
【Satiety: 27611】
[Excitement of eating +1]
【The excitement of eating:571】
…
【The heart of swallowing the remaining ice】
[Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Satiety +100]
【Satiety: 27711】
[Excitement of eating +1]
【The excitement of eating:572】
…
The unexpected 'food' made Jason satisfied.
Even for Jason now, 200 points of satiety and 2 points of food excitement are nothing.
But Jason understands the principle of gathering sand into a tower and gathering armies into fur.
not to mention,
It's completely free.
"and……"
"This is just the beginning!"
The corner of Jason's mouth curled up.
Everything was as he expected, the flames in the dark night attracted enough people.
What made him even more happy was that a faint 'smell of food' was coming out of these people.
Obviously, the residents of District 29, the City that Never Sleeps, are richer than Jason imagined.
Jason was in no hurry.
He waited patiently.
As a hunter, you must be patient.
Especially when the harvest is about to happen.
This is what the 'old man' often says.
After Jason heard it, he remembered it.
As the person who told Jason this, the 'old man' was pacing around his office with impatience.
Jason has been gone for nearly seven hours.
He knew very clearly that something was wrong.
Although the 'old man' knew that something was going to happen when the 'big shot' Jin came to him, deep down in his heart he was still holding on to the slightest bit of luck.
After all, Jason is the best 'postman' he has.
At the same time, he is also the most cautious one.
Of course, the one with the best luck is still the one with the best luck.
The 'old man' had always hoped that Jason's luck would be the same this time as the previous year.
Can……
"well."
The 'old man' sighed, sat in the chair, and raised his hand to turn on the desk lamp in the office.
Click!
When the switch was touched, the yellow light illuminated the office and the 'old man' sitting in the chair.
Just like what the nickname says.
The 'old man''s hair has long been gray and his face is slack, especially the corners of his eyes are full of crow's feet. However, the 'old man' is dressed very appropriately, with gray and black trousers, a vest of the same color, and a white shirt. At this time, the shirt is
The sleeves were rolled up high, revealing the remaining muscle lines of his arms.
As a native of the "city that never sleeps".
In the early years, the 'Old Man' also relied on his courage to fight and fight to get to the top.
After he became the boss of a few blocks near District 16, the 'old man' still did not give up the training he deserved. Unfortunately, time is ruthless and he could not resist it no matter how hard he tried.
Even if it is...
Touched the ‘mystery’.
That was a chance.
It can be considered his luck.
However, he has always stayed away from that kind of power.
Because he knows he can't control it.
As for studying?
Stop joking.
He is not a big shot like 'Jin'.
There is no chance of learning.
And become a big shot like ‘Jin’?
It's not like he hasn't thought about it.
But as soon as he thinks about it, his unexpected power will warn him.
More than once.
is continuous.
Such continuous warnings made him very clear that he had no chance.
If you give it a try, you will most likely die without a burial.
Therefore, the 'old man' kept his one-third of an acre of land conscientiously, without fighting for it or taking any excessive actions. Coupled with the help of that special power, he was able to thrive in District 16.
However, that is only what ordinary people see.
The ‘old man’ himself was walking on thin ice.
Because, his ability started to call the police like crazy a year ago.
Although it was intermittent, it did not stop.
No matter where he goes.
It's all the same.
It seems that the entire District 16 is in crisis.
Because of this, he began to recruit more subordinates.
There is strength in numbers.
In the 'city that never sleeps' it is not an empty talk.
It's a pity that those subordinates cannot be reused.
Just one Jason is okay.
In particular, he admired Jason's non-'dangerous' performance.
At least, among his abilities, he never called the police on Jason.
You know, this is too rare.
Even his most loyal subordinates will occasionally cause his abilities to cause minor alarms.
The 'old man' didn't care about this.
This is really common in the 'city that never sleeps'.
He knows how to avoid it.
But at the same time, he also valued Jason more and more.
After all, he is a unique person.
The 'old man' even had the idea of handing over the business to Jason after he retired.
Because of this, he treated Jason favorably.
Try your best to meet Jason's demands that are not excessive.
For example: send your subordinates to teach shooting, fighting, etc.
pity……
"well."
The 'old man' sighed again.
He really wanted the heir to be safe and sound.
But his ability cannot do this.
Standing up, the 'old man' opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of whiskey from the collection - this is a good thing from District 15. He got it at a high price. It is not from the Ring City area at all.
Inferior product.
Pick up two wine glasses and take out two ice balls from the refrigerator, one in each glass.
Then, the amber-colored wine is poured into the glass.
The 'old man' is holding a glass.
The remaining cup was placed in front of his desk.
bite!
Gently, the 'old man' clinked the wine glass on the desk with his wine glass.
Then, he raised his glass to the empty seats.
There was a little guilt in the eyes of the 'old man'.
Still with a little bit of unwillingness.
But more of it is regret.
He didn't say anything, drank the wine in one gulp, and sat back behind his desk.
Jason is dead.
Then he would have to start a backup plan.
Head to Uptown!
Although 100,000 gold is expensive, and there are not low 'handling fees' there, if he continues to stay here, when he gets really old, he will only be devoured by the 'wolves' around him.
Rather than that.
It’s better to go to ‘Jin’ and give it a try.
Maybe there's still a way to survive.
Although there were rumors that many people who went to the uptown area would be swallowed whole by 'Jin', he was worried about this before, but at this time, he no longer needed to worry about it.
The 'old man' who thought of this did not contact 'Jin' immediately.
The status gap between the two parties is too big, and the 'old man' is not qualified to contact 'Jin' on his own initiative.
The only option is to take a roundabout approach.
Boom, boom!
The 'old man''s index finger tapped on the table.
Soon, he thought of a good idea.
Feeling slightly distressed, the 'old man' opened the drawer on the right side of the desk.
Inside is a yellowed book.
From ‘Mystery’.
It is not the source of his ability, he just collected it inadvertently.
This would be a good stepping stone.
Even before, the 'old man' used it as a talisman.
After considering his words, the 'old man' reached out to pick up the phone.
However, at this time, the phone rang first.
Jingle bell bell!
The old telephone made a crisp ringtone.
The 'old man' was stunned for a moment and then picked up the phone.
His phone number is not a secret, many people know it.
However, being able to break into his office is enough to reveal the identity of the other party.
Therefore, the 'old man' is very polite.
"Hello, hello..."
"I am 'gold'."
Before the 'old man' could finish his words, he was interrupted by a word full of domineering words.
'gold'?!
The ‘old man’ was shocked.
Although he was looking for 'Jin', it didn't mean that it was a good thing for 'Jin' to call.
A previous phone call cost him his best subordinate and heir.
What does he have to lose now?
Wouldn't it be his life?
Thinking of this, the 'old man's heart tightened.
Fortunately, he didn't feel the warning, which allowed him to stay rational and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency Jin, what can I do for you?"
The 'old man' tried his best to keep his tone as humble as possible.
"Is there anything special about that Jason?"
‘Jin’’s question was unexpected.
Jason?
Actually asking Jason?
Did something unexpected happen to Jason?
The 'old man' secretly guessed.
However, he answered immediately.
"Jason is a cautious, diligent and studious young man, and he is not greedy and knows how to save his life."
The ‘old man’ replied like this.
Since 'Jin' asked, there must be something concerning Jason.
Even the 'old man' doesn't know.
However, if ‘gold’ says there is, then it must be there.
"oh?"
The tone of 'gold' was elongated.
The 'old man''s heart also lifted.
But what the 'old man' didn't expect was that 'Jin' then said.
"So that's it."
"No wonder he became the best 'postman' in the 'city that never sleeps'."
With these words, 'Jin' hung up the phone.
Somewhat no end.
But the 'old man''s expression changed several times.
His ability was frantically alerting him at this time.
It's not the first time this has happened.
But every time this happens, it is related to his own life.
Without any hesitation, the 'old man' picked up the book in his hand and pressed the button hidden under the desk.
Quietly, a door opened on one side of the wall.
The ‘old man’ walked in quickly.
About a minute later.
Two rockets with beautiful tail flames were fired at the 'old man's' office from a distance.
One of them shot straight into the 'old man's' office.
