Vol 8 Chapter 25: dialogue
Hearing the sound of training from the basement, Ke Wen walked towards the store door.
Originally, he planned to find a scapegoat tomorrow morning.
But Van der's worry is also right, it is better to get the person back as soon as possible to collude the confession.
Anyway, Wei and the others made a big fuss, and the news should be spreading rapidly throughout the rift valley, so those alchemy barons should not have rested yet.
So Ke Wen walked out of the repair shop, walked along the black alley to the elevator, and took the elevator to the area of the middle square.
After spending a silver gear to find a thug wandering the streets to lead the way, Kewen was quickly taken to the office of a baron of alchemy.
Ke Wen directly explained the purpose of coming, but unfortunately, although the alchemy baron has many child laborers, he can only provide a substitute for Mellow.
Because the alchemy baron didn't have a pink-haired girl like Wei, or a blue-haired girl like Baobao, and he couldn't find a fat boy like Craig.
No way, Ke Wen had to spend a hundred gold gears to take away a little skinny boy.
Walking out of the factory, Kewen directly told the little boy about his crime.
The result did not exceed his expectations.
Hearing that he could take the blame and go to prison in the upper city, the skinny boy happily agreed!
After all, no matter how miserable the prison is, there will be no poisonous haze and poisonous water like Dicheng.
By going to prison, the little boy will no longer have to risk his life to clean a pipe.
Likewise, he no longer has to worry about eating and drinking every day.
There is no need to be exploited by the alchemy baron for a mouthful of unpalatable food.
Zaun is so cruel...
Cowen didn't feel pity or anything like that.
He told the little boy to find Vandel in the bar in Black Lane, and then he went on to the next area, looking for the thugs roaming the streets.
After more than two hours, Kewen finally got the four scapegoats together.
He returned to Black Lane with the last blue-haired teenage girl, and headed straight to Vander's bar.
Everyone gathered in the basement of the bar, and Wei and Baobo rushed over after training.
Looking at the four scapegoats whose appearance and characteristics were similar to them, the four little guys from the Blue Bird Gang couldn't help but fell silent.
They seem to see themselves in the scapegoat.
At the same time, they finally realized the mistakes they made in this incident!
Facing the curious gazes of the scapegoats, Wei and the others were completely ashamed to face them.
Melo and Craig huddled themselves in a shadowy corner of the basement, their hearts pounding.
Wei and Baobao managed to stay within the range illuminated by the candlelight.
Bumblebee lowered his head to avoid his sight, silently wiping away his tears.
And Wei's eyes were bloodshot!
She forced herself to face the gaze of the four scapegoats.
Wei's fists were clenched until her joints creaked, and she couldn't stop trembling slightly.
The gums were bleeding from her bite, and Wei's breathing was extremely heavy.
Neither Cowen nor Vander made any sound of comfort.
The two moved in unison, leaning against the wall with their arms around their shoulders and watching.
After a long time, Wei gradually loosened her fists.
She took a deep breath to calm her body.
With a dry and hoarse voice, Wei suppressed her emotions and said in a deep voice: "I swear!
"
She scanned the faces of the four scapegoats slowly.
Keeping every face firmly in his mind, Wei almost growled and promised: "I swear! When I learn something! I must go to the upper city to rescue you!
! "
"Come on."
Vi's stand-in chuckled nonchalantly.
She waved her hands and said: "It was hard for us to escape from the lower city. Although we went to jail instead of you, at least we don't have to worry about food and lodging in prison. If you rescue us, don't we have to go to jail every day?" Are you risking your life and death to drill the pipeline?"
"I..." Wei was speechless for a moment.
After another moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said forcefully, "One day! I want Zaun to have no more tragedies!
Someday!
I'm going to make Zaun an uptown!
! "
"Then go for it."
Wei's stand-in had suffered too much, and she had no illusions in her heart, so after hearing Wei's bold words, she didn't take it to heart at all.
After a perfunctory sentence, the stand-in took the initiative to end the topic.
She looked at Cowen and Vander: "Shouldn't it start earlier? There is still a child among us, and she should need more time to remember the statement."
With a sigh, Fandre lowered his arms and told the four little ones of the Blue Bird Gang: "Start from the beginning, don't miss every detail of your trouble this time."
Hearing Van der's extremely flat tone, Wei couldn't help clenching her fists tremblingly again.
After a while, she drooped her shoulders weakly, and began to recall the whole story of this operation.
…
…
There is a large area of abandoned land in the area of the Rift near the sea.
Because there are often hurricanes blowing into the rift valley here, this area as an outlet is not suitable for people to live.
There are a large number of abandoned buildings in this area, all kinds of algae are densely distributed on them, and the buildings are also severely corroded by the humid sea breeze.
There is an underground space hidden inside an abandoned factory.
It was originally a normal building, but with the fall of Zaun, it sank below the surface of the water.
Fortunately, the building did not collapse with the fall of Zaun, and the building is well preserved.
Even though it is now in the underwater area, there is still no sea water that can leak into the building.
While the confession was going on at the bar, another conversation was going on in the underwater room that was converted into a laboratory.
The room wasn't too dark.
The moonlight penetrated the water surface and dyed the water a hazy blue.
The light penetrated into the room through the huge glass windows, making the room also stained with a gloomy glimmer.
But there are other colors in the interior.
Pink and teal became the main colors.
Its light comes from the alchemy potions on each test bench.
Those alchemy potions exuded fluorescence, and the rays of light were mixed together. They actually created a warm light for this underwater secret room, and dispelled the coldness in the basement.
At this time, there was a dilapidated wooden chair in the middle of the open space in the basement.
Sitting on it was a young man who was the yellow-haired gangster who was beaten up by Xiang Wei and the others in the afternoon.
The fidgeting little Huangmao lost his arrogance, and was looking around in fear and anxiety.
On either side of him stood two thugs.
One of the thugs has a strong physique, even taller than Vander, and his exposed body muscles are like concrete pillars.
The other thug was much thinner.
But he was fiddling with a sharp short knife in his hand, and the cruelty in his eyes was undisguised. He kept looking at the yellow-haired bastard, as if he was thinking about where to cut the knife.
This kind of knife-like sight made Xiao Huangmao swallow his saliva continuously.
His face was dripping with cold sweat, the child's hole kept shrinking, and after shrinking to the limit, it rebounded and expanded, but continued to shrink rapidly.
The yellow hair with a distorted expression of fear is now as pitiful as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
At this time, an unhurried voice sounded from a shadow in the room: "Are you responsible for what you said?"
The yellow-haired gangster immediately looked towards the shadow.
He nodded again and again: "Yes, sir! I can! The explosion in the upper city was definitely done by them! I heard the voice in that backpack! It must be full of high-end goods!"
"Then you should have just followed."
The figure in the dark raised his head and dripped the medicine into his eyes, and continued to say in a leisurely manner, "Instead of choosing to do it directly."
After dripping the potion, the figure slowly turned around, causing a little redness to appear in the shadow.
That Hong Mang stared at the yellow-haired bastard, and said in the tone of a person above the figure: "If you finally find their place, you can come and threaten them, so that you can easily share their gains, instead of losing like now I ran back and complained."
"Yes... I'm sorry sir!" Huang Mao quickly admitted his mistake nervously: "I think there are two girls among them, one of them is only in his teens! We didn't expect them to be so good at fighting!"
"Can fight..."
The figure in the darkness pondered for a moment.
He fiddled with the eyedrops in his hand, and then asked in a low voice, "From the dark alley?"
"Yes, sir!" Huang Mao replied anxiously: "They are definitely not from the upper and middle classes!"
"Dark alley..."
The figure murmured and sneered in a complicated tone.
Then he teased and said: "Now, their accomplices will have to ask about you. You made me take a completely unnecessary risk."
"We can fight back sir!
"
The yellow-haired gangster was eager to offer a strategy: "Sir! We can make use of the problem! They caused the explosion in the upper city! The people in the upper city are mad! Law enforcement officers are hunting them everywhere! I can leak the news! People I know it was done by those **** in the black alley!"
"rare…"
The figure laughed lightly.
He slowly got up from the chair and stepped out of the shadows.
The boundary of light spread upwards from his legs, and finally crossed the figure's face and hair, completely exposing it to the light.
It was a thin man, and the red spot was the mechanical prosthetic eye installed in the eye socket.
With the left eye as the center, the skin on the man's left face twisted and wrinkled as if the muscles had atrophied.
He was wearing a dress suit with cut sleeves, a red shirt and white tie, and the buttons of the clothes were meticulous.
If Van der was here, he would definitely recognize him immediately!
That is the man who once wanted to organize the second bridge rush! That Van der's former companion, the one who has completely broken with Van der - Silko!
Judging by Shirko's appearance, the other party has obviously been doing well in recent years.
This underwater building, the various alchemy tools and materials in the room, and even the thugs and gangsters under him.
All of this is not something that a down-and-out person can have!
At this moment, Shirko, who came out of the shadows, was looking at the yellow-haired bastard.
There is no expression on the stiff left face, but the corner of the mouth is slightly raised on the normal right face.
Shirko should be in a good mood.
He came in front of the yellow-haired gangster, looked down at him and said with a chuckle, "You are very lucky, because you brought me good news, man from the dark alley? Van der is in trouble."
"Very well, boy, I am very satisfied with the news you brought me."
Shirko waved his hands: "Give him a meal."
The two thugs, one strong and one thin, immediately grabbed the yellow-haired bastard's arms roughly.
Just as they were about to leave, Shirko stopped the normal thug again: "You stay here."
When the strong thugs dragged the yellow-haired **** away, Shirko told the remaining thugs: "Go and find out the news. There must be a law enforcement officer going to the dark alley. I want to know who it is."
Taking out two gold coins from his pocket, Silko flicked the gold coins into his arms: "I hope you can also bring me good news."
"Leave it to me, sir!" The thug collected the gold coins and made a promise: "Those hyenas in the upper city are greedy! As long as they have money, they will say anything!"
"ASAP."
Silko said something softly, then turned around and looked at the deep water outside the large glass window.
The thugs immediately turned and retreated.
When the footsteps faded away, Silko turned his gaze away from the giant fish swimming in the deep water.
He turned his head to look at the alchemy table in the corner of the room.
"Singed." Silko asked softly to the thin man who was shaking a test tube: "How long will it take? The time for us to show off our ambitions has come, and I don't want to miss such a perfect time."
"It should be soon."
The man named Singed was about fifty years old, with a pair of high cheekbones protruding from his thin cheeks.
His eyeballs look a bit piercing, because the holes are small, and the two eyeballs are almost completely filled with the whites of the eyes.
At this time, Singed responded and put the test tube back on the table.
Then he pulled out a test tube containing pink fluorescent liquid from the wooden rack that fixed the test tube.
He turned to Silko and said, "Actually, it's considered a success now, it's just that there are some more effects."
"What's extra?" Shirko asked with relief.
"Out of control?" Singed stared at the alchemy potion in his hand and said, "Maybe there are also confusion and addiction? I'm not too clear, it will take a lot of human experiments to get the results."
"Please demonstrate." Silko's tone was slightly expectant.
Singed did not refuse.
He walked to a glass-enclosed test box and poured the alchemy potion in the test tube into the feeding tank.
Glancing at the mouse in the test box, Singed walked not far away to pick up a hairless cat.
After opening the test box, he threw the ugly hairless cat into it, and locked the test box completely.
clang! clang!
Knocking on the glass with his fingers, Singed whispered, "It's time for dinner."
After saying that, he pushed down the mechanism wrench next to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the alchemy potion in the feeding tank began to flow down.
The mouse in the test box immediately crawled over, stood up and caught the port of the thin metal tube with its mouth.
The liquid medicine was swallowed by the mouse, and soon, the mouse suddenly let out a scream.
Shirko had already walked over, and he and Singed were observing the scene inside the test chamber.
Under their gaze, the mouse's body was rapidly deforming.
The fangs and sharp teeth proliferated rapidly, the mouse's eyes were completely covered in redness, and the size of the mouse quickly surpassed the hairless cat under the muscle swelling.
The next moment, the stable mouse suddenly rushed towards the hairless cat!
There was a miserable meow, blood and cracks instantly covered the glass wall of the test box.
Looking at the mouse monster that was eating the cat's corpse inside, the right corner of Silko's mouth slightly raised again...
