Chapter 20: Humility

Director José's nickname is "Greedy Fat Pig".

As the name suggests, the fat pig is naturally because of Director José's fat that anyone can frown at when they see it.

But even so, the women who were willing to climb into the bed of the chief José were able to run a hundred-meter long line, and most of them came from well-to-do families because he was the head of the city's official violence apparatus.

Foreign media have joked more than once that the police in this country are more violent and dark dictators than those gangs who live bloody.

Director José apparently interpreted this remark from the foreign media very well.

In fact, 13 years ago, Director José did not exist as an insatiable crocodile.

However, it was only after the beginning of an operation called the UPP, and the liberation of many slums by the state's violent apparatus in the so-called "bloodless" way, that the "greedy fat pig" took off in wealth.

As for why, of course, it was for a certain World Games that was just held not long ago.

In order to make people feel that the safety factor of this country, especially this city, is not as bad as reported by the media, the political system of this country can be described as a magic weapon - of course, the results are still very impressive.

As for whether this effect can be continued forever, it is up to everyone.

But for Director José, it didn't matter—because his wealth had amassed to an astonishing point that he could become a wealthy man abroad and continue to enjoy life as he pleased, even if he threw away his official position.

However, Director José, who has been smooth sailing, is obviously in a very irritable mood these days. For example, the secretary in front of the office with a hot body was kicked out just a few minutes ago with a pale face.

You know, this director José is the most enjoying to have this hot secretary kneel under his desk and give him the service he likes - of course, basically think that it is actually because José is so fat, if he really puts the secretary's legs up for activities, he may die suddenly.

looked at the wronged secretary and miss, and everyone just thought they didn't see it. A plaything that is no longer pampered naturally has no value in stuttering. As for why Jose's bureau is upset, I think it's because of the intensive murders that have occurred in the past few days.

From the boss of the gang, to the local councillors, and important business people in the economic field, the people who have died in the past few days are actually people with huge energy, and the anger behind this is probably something that this "greedy fat pig" can't bear.

At this time, the fat director of the bureau suddenly opened the door of the office, and just as everyone was wondering whether Jose was going to walk out sideways or walk out directly, the tyrant-like director was already humming and said: "The speaker is going to the municipal theater tonight to watch the performance, and the security measures have been taken for me! If something goes wrong, I won't let you have a good time!"

Speaker, but the real big man in this country, no wonder Director Jose is in such a bad mood at this time - I'm afraid that because of the frequent homicides of important people who come in, the bigwigs in the upper echelons of the country are vaguely uneasy.

......

......

"Theatre Station to ——!"

There was a hollow message on the bus, and Caroline leaned against the window and glanced at the Municipal Theater outside the bus. The splendor of this building was so dazzling that Caroline withdrew her gaze a little uncomfortably.

Just accidentally saw a few police cars parked here, and couldn't help but catch Caroline's attention - the police even began to pull up a cordon here.

Probably some big guy is coming here at night, right?

I have the impression that this theater is used to hold some national cultural events, and it also holds programs such as "so-and-so music festival" for a long time.

Caroline shook her head.

Although she was able to become an elegant lady in an instant in order to take care of the needs of her guests, there was really nothing changed on the inside - of course, when the man tore her clothes, the so-called elegance was naturally gone.

So she had only one idea of the place where the high aristocracy would use to show herself: When would she have the money to buy this castle-like place to live?

The occupants of the car apparently noticed the police presence that had begun to be set up in the theater as Caroline did, but did not discuss it. Ordinary citizens do not care about national affairs...... What's more, she is still a practitioner on the fringes of the law?

Later, the bus passed through a closed section.

A high wall was erected on one side of the road, completely blocking the view from that side. Caroline glanced at the long walls with some annoyance—such walls were naturally not for defense.

Its only purpose was to shield the other side of the wall—yes, the other side of the wall, where she grew up, the chaotic place.

Caroline sneered, everyone in the car was used to it, and it seemed to be insignificant.

“...... Hospital, arrived at ——!"

Caroline got out of the car and glanced up at the medical facility, the horrific building in the city. The daylight was a little dazzling, and the sunlight emitted on the dense glass, which made Caroline frown, only the cold air wafting from the front of the hospital made her feel more comfortable.

"I want to get a sign...... Well, internal medicine. Caroline walked straight to the crowded front desk.

It took her more than half an hour to get her number, but by the time it was her turn, it was probably already afternoon. Caroline thought for a moment, then walked straight to the inpatient unit.

The main reason for coming to the hospital this time is to do a detailed examination - she doesn't know if her fertility is gone, but at least she has to grasp her physical condition, even if this thing is taken away in the future, after coming to check it again, at least she will know what is wrong.

As for walking to the inpatient department, it was naturally for the visit.

Not a talented young musician who is blind or has inconvenient legs, because Caroline is not a fairy tale Cinderella, so there is no such romantic encounter - in the first place, Caroline did not believe in love, which can be consumed.

is not a lover of that kind of bloody movie, and naturally it is not a sick relative.

It is even more unlikely that she has a terminal illness that needs to be cared for in the hospital to survive because her head was caught in the door panel for a while - even if there is such a thing, Caroline feels that she will eventually give up because of the high medical bills.

For the sake of a non-family and non-family, just a burden that was picked up after a moment of kindness, he used some of his own savings, and even had to bear debts and the like...... Caroline thinks that her soul has not yet been sublimated to that magnitude by chance.

"It's just a dying peer......"

It was customary for all the warblers in the district to call her Nia, including Caroline. Nja was more than twice as old as Caroline, thirty-five or sixteen years old. A woman of this age, usually even if she doesn't take care of it much, is probably at the level of an aunt.

However, Nia, who lived in the ward, looked haggard at this time, her body was dry, her hair was falling out, and she looked like an old woman in her sixties.

Her situation is complicated, I heard that it is because she has had multiple abortions, and finally caused uterine lesions and replaced with cancer. In addition, because I don't take care of my body, I have symptoms of liver cirrhosis...... It seems that even the body's immune system has a problem.

She is now basically using her life's savings, waiting for death in this hospital.

Nia is considered to be a 'senior' who took care of her in the early stage of Caroline's solo journey after running away from home, and after knowing about Nia's condition, she would come to see her for a day or two a month - basically when she couldn't open her business during menstruation.

"I bought flowers, let's put them in first. Caroline glanced at Nyoa on the hospital bed.

This is probably the last scene of the saddest life of being a sex worker. Caroline couldn't even see more hope of survival in Nia's eyes.

She doesn't seem to have children, and naturally she doesn't have lovers, so as for her family, I'm afraid there will be a question mark. Anyway, after coming a few times, Caroline had never heard of anyone other than herself visiting the dying man.

In fact, every time she saw Nia's appearance, Caroline would be scared for a while, and suddenly felt that the person lying on the hospital bed had become herself. The image of staring desperately at the ceiling without blinking made her legs weak and unable to breathe.

"Would you like an apple? I'll peel one for you?" Caroline pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the bed.

Nia didn't speak, but her eyes turned and fell on Caroline, as if she had just noticed someone she knew.

"They said, they can give me an operation. If I succeed, I have a general chance of surviving. ”

Caroline, who was intently peeling an apple, suddenly heard a dry voice, and her eyes widened as she looked at Nia, who was also looking at her at this time.

For the first time, Caroline saw not lifelessness in Nia's eyes.

"But I don't have enough money. Nia spoke slowly.

"You...... Do you want me to help you?" Caroline instinctively defended Nia's gaze at this time, and hesitated, "You know, I can't take much. If it's too much, I'm ...... I can't help it. ”

Caroline subconsciously shifted her position to block the handbag that was lying behind her chair - inside was the bank card with a huge fortune she had with her.

"I know. Nia shook her head with difficulty.

Her gaze made Caroline feel very uncomfortable, and Caroline subconsciously looked somewhere else.

Nia said slowly, "I want you to help me find someone." He is a lawyer and a regular client of mine, and he can help me. ”

"Lawyer......" Caroline was surprised, "seems to be a rich man?"

Maybe it's not necessarily a love story...... Caroline guessed.

"My property, I want to ask a lawyer to help me sell it. I'd like to try this surgery anyway. ”

The dying woman had a strong desire to survive in her eyes, and Caroline frowned, "That house of yours, I'm afraid it's not worth much." ”

The old houses in the slums are basically unsellable. Even if it is sold, it is obviously not enough in Caroline's opinion - the hospital is burning money every moment.

"I still have a house in the West End. ”

Caroline was surprised.

The West End is a newly developed area dominated by upscale residential areas, where housing prices are too high for the working class to afford...... House, Nia already had her own big house early in the morning.

This woman who is about to die has already completed her long-term goal...... It's just that I'm about to die, but at the moment I have to sell my house in order to survive.

Caroline felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Later, it was time for her to check. Caroline was in a daze and did a lot of tests under the orders of the doctor and nurse, and the results of the tests would not be known until a week later.

In this regard, Caroline did not care about it at the beginning.

She just knew that she had finally agreed to Nia's request and tried to find the man who had had a good time with her when she was younger.

......

......

So...... Am I crossing over or not?

Look at the darkness in front of you...... Or it can be called a scene of chaos and nothingness, and Yu Danqiang, who has been standing in this place in a daze for a while, subconsciously scratched his armpits - it's itchy here.

Where he was at this time was a huge platform that extended from one side. The floor tiles on the platform have a jade-like color, but the material is clearly not jadeite.

Yu Danqiang is very sure of this - because he has a piece of family heirloom jade on him.

Yu Danqiang frowned again, turned around, looked up, and looked ahead...... A gigantic palace. What the style is, Yudanqiang can't say. But the palace was much bigger than any picture of it he had ever seen.

A huge and majestic temple built on a huge platform that floats in the chaos of nothingness...... If it weren't for the fact that he had seen a superhuman battle before coming to this place, Yu Danqiang thought that he might be dreaming, right?

He subconsciously pinched the sign in his hand...... There is no doubt that I came to this place because I picked up this sign, but the key is ......

The point is, what the hell is this place?

He's been in this place for a while, and although his phone has no signal, he is apparently still able to watch the time - more than half an hour!

How do I get back?

Is there something scary going to happen here?

At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew out of one of the pavilions of the huge palace, getting closer and closer...... Yu Danqiang used his eyesight to finally see the true face of this shadow.

It's a very cute girl.,Wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit that is only popular in a certain island country.,And with a ...... Yellow duck swimming rings?

The girl has short hair and looks like she is only about twelve or thirteen years old...... She seemed to notice a sudden extra person on the edge of the platform, so she landed quickly.

"Little sister, what is this place?" the fish ball swallowed.

Heaven and earth conscience, he doesn't have any special fetishes for girls of this size, he just wants to know where he is.

Of course, watching this girl come up from the sky also made Yudan nervous for a while.

"The gap between the two sides, the paradise lost in the void. The girl replied expressionlessly, then looked Yu Danqiang up and down, suddenly frowned, and asked without saying a word: "How did you come in this waste wood uncle?"

I'm sorry I'm Uncle Scrapwood......
