Hugo's question was not made on a whim, and although he knew that the answer was certain, he was still a little curious about the matter.

Lao Ou chose a more comfortable position and leaned on the stone and said: "There are many people who want to leave from Liujie and enter the metropolitan area for so many years, but the number of people who enter Liujie from the metropolitan area is really small, even the fugitives who have committed major crimes in the metropolitan area do not want to come here. ”

Akita, who had warmed up, said, "It seems that this ghost place in Liujie is even more terrifying than the prison in the 51st district." ”

Lao Ou said: "I have been to District 51, it is indeed a dark place, but there is still something merit compared to Liujie, that is order!"

Although the 51st ward is home to almost all of Tsukishima's criminals, all prison facilities are run and managed by the government, and the first thing that does not exist in Liujie is the law!

In Flowing Street, there is only the law of survival.

The old gull opened his mouth and spit a mouthful of phlegm to the side, cleared his throat and said: "But don't imagine Liujie as a devil's place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, even if there are tacit natural laws in the forests and grasslands, let alone a human society with a civilized nature, but compared to the natural world, the situation of Liujie is only a little more complicated." ”

Akita said, "I'm really relieved to hear you say that." ”

The old gull smiled: "Since you are scared, you can go home, but it is completely too late to go back now, but I will not return the client's deposit." ”

"We were prepared for the worst," Hugo said. ”

"Oh yes, that's great. The old gull picked his chin and nodded.

After a moment of silence, the old gull did not forget to answer Hugo's initial question.

"There were a few groups of journalists who wanted to write explosive articles who somehow found me and asked me to take them to the street for an in-depth visit, but I was under the impression that only a dark-skinned middle-aged reporter found me in the street again, and finally took him out of there. ”

The old gull recalled the past, revealing a look of aftertaste of the past.

Akita turned to Hugo and said, "I always thought that modern journalists would only write lace news that attracts attention and traffic, but I didn't think there was still a character like Robert Capa. ”

Hugo said: "No matter how dirty the world is, there will always be lotus flowers that come out of the mud and are not stained." ”

Akita smiled when he heard this: "So we are also that kind of class." ”

The old gull squinted and continued to observe the two with interest, not wanting to miss any opportunity to get to know each other, but Hugo was silent and did not answer Akita, which made the old gull very unhappy.

Lao Ou suddenly said: "I've known each other for so long, I don't know what to call the two of you." ”

Hugo said: "I am..."

The old gull waved his hand and interrupted Hugo: "There is no need, anyway, what you told me is definitely not a real name, rather than listening to you lie, I will help you think of this lie." ”

Hugo really didn't want to tell the name of himself and Akita to the old gull, and when he heard the old gull say this, he stopped talking.

The old gull scratched his gray hair with his hand, then pointed at Hugo with his finger and said, "Your name is McKunin." Then he looked at Akita and said, "And your name is Abbas." ”

Akita said: "It's all a good name." ”

Lao Ou smiled: "At least I like it very much and can remember it." ”

"As for your relationship, it's up to you to decide, so that it will be easier in the future. ”

After being forcibly assigned a name by Lao Ou, Hugo and Akita secretly memorized it to prevent it from being used in case of trouble in the flowing street.

The three of them were relatively speechless for the rest of the day, and they all went about their own rest, and Hugo also put on the shabby fur coat to ward off the cold.

Time passed quickly, and after the sky was about to fall, the old gull got up from the ground, patted the snow on his body, and said, "It's time to go." Without looking back, he walked out of the forest.

Hugo and Akita also got up and followed, I don't know if it was too cold or because they drank a lot of whiskey, Akita's face turned very red, and his steps staggered a little, Hugo stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm and walked forward together.

This trip took longer than the last one, and the night road without moonlight was particularly difficult, so you can see how powerful the old gull is, even in such a harsh environment, it is like walking on the ground, and I think it is very familiar with every plant and tree here.

When the sky was completely dark, the three of them walked out of a withered forest again, and as soon as Hugo came out of the woods, Hugo felt a cold wind coming towards him, and the cold wind was mixed with the smell of the sea.

"Here. The old gull spat out two words, and his voice seemed to be frozen from the cold.

Seeing that they were about to board the ship, Hugo and Akita's spirits were not shocked, and they quickly followed.

The old gull came to the beach, took out a glow stick from his arms, held it high in his hand and waved it vigorously.

The glowstick glowed a faint blue in the night, and even Hugo, who was close to him, had a hard time seeing it, wondering how he had managed to notify the others in this way.

However, just when Hugo was puzzled, he heard a buzzing engine on the sea accompanied by the sound of breaking water, and dozens of seconds later, Hugo saw a small boat on the sea.

"Welcome our knights. The old gull said briskly.

Soon, the boat was approaching the sea.

The reason why this ship is called a small boat is not apt, its hull is about ten meters from head to tail, and the draft from the side of the ship is not small, so it must have been placed on board with heavy equipment.

As the ship approached, only one sailor jumped out of the bow and jumped into the water, starting to build a folding gangplank between the bow and the ground.

Akita, who was already extremely afraid of the cold, shivered unconsciously when he saw this scene, he was really worried that this sailor would freeze to death in the sea.

However, his scruples were clearly unfounded, and the sailor did not show any signs of abnormality, and quickly set up the gangplank.

Lao Ou made a polite gesture of a traditional European gentleman and said to the two: "Two distinguished guests, please." Welcome to the Shadow Shuttle. ”

Only then did Hugo and the others know that the boat used for smuggling was called "Shadow Shuttle".

At this time, the sailors who were immersed in the sea also came to shore in the morning, nodding their heads to the crowd.

"I'm tired. Hugo casually agreed, and was just about to get up and get on the boat, but the sailor standing on the seashore suddenly whispered badly, and immediately lowered himself into the water.
