(In the future, when Li Jie is mentioned, it will not be specially marked in quotation marks, the real Li Jie has disappeared, and only Mephisto, who is incarnated as Li Jie.) ）

What is the most important thing to survive in human society?

Money.

All food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from the support of money.

In Li Jie's memory, there is a sentence that Mephisto admires: Money can make ghosts grind. Being able to let monsters that only exist in the imagination be driven by it, it can be seen that the attitude of people in this world towards money is both love and hate, the influence of capital is everywhere, and the countless memories fully illustrate the power of money.

And when you reach a certain amount of money, power and status will begin to derive.

As for the fastest way to make money: arms, drugs, loan sharks?

The risk is too great.

As a former superior, Mephisto knew very well that when the strength of the individual did not reach a decisive height, the best option was to play according to the rules of the game. The matter of rubbing the side ball is not a last resort, and can only be done occasionally.

The food in the cafeteria at New York University was still good, and Li Jie was enjoying a $12 set meal, holding a mobile phone with a long-distance calling card and calling home.

"Mom, Xiaojie, how are you doing at home? I'm doing well in school, I've got a job, you don't have to worry. ”

On the opposite phone, Li Jie's mother chattered and asked for warmth for a long time, not realizing that the other side of the ocean was no longer her son, until she was worried about the phone bill, and then she reluctantly hung up.

During this period, Li Jie has been speaking unhurriedly, without the slightest impatience, for a demon monarch who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, the most important thing is time and patience.

In just half a day, he had already called to quit his job at the café and packed up his things and moved out of the school dormitory. Serving others with tea and water? A humble living environment? It's an insult to Lord Mephisto.

At this time, he didn't see at all that he only had two hundred dollars left in his pocket, and he could go bankrupt at any time. How could such a trivial matter as making money stump Master Mephisto.

The TV in the cafeteria was playing a news program, a beautiful reporter appeared in front of the camera, a long cordon was pulled behind him, many police officers and ambulance personnel hurriedly walked by, the scene was full of chickens and dogs, reporters of large and small newspapers and onlookers were constantly noisy, and the flashing lights did not stop for a moment.

"This is a special CNN news program with Dorothy Lester on the air. Behind me is an alley on Sharif Street in Lower Manhattan, where another vicious murder and mutilation case has occurred, and according to the police, the modus operandi is highly similar to that of the serial killer known as 'Bloody Beast', but it is not certain whether it was the same person. The number of casualties cannot be determined at this time due to the difficulty in distinguishing the mutilated bones and flesh......"

Although there was no way to see the tragic situation at the scene, the beautiful reporter's pale face and the crying and panicked crowd around her could fully explain the actual situation, not to mention the blood stains on the stretcher that could not be covered by the white cloth.

"Oh my God, again?"

"Oh, God! What kind of bastard could do such a thing. ”

"It's horrible...... I didn't even dare to go out at night......"

"I heard that the scene is like hell, with stumps and flesh everywhere......"

"Damn the 'bloody beast', when are these waste cops going to catch him."

Listening to these voices and watching the news program in front of them, many people were disgusted and couldn't eat.

Only Li Jie was not affected in the slightest, eating the food on the plate slowly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth: it seems that he will be able to solve his little troubles soon.

---------- Dividing Line----------

The Kentlay neighborhood, with its graffiti-covered walls, garbage cans, and tattooed men leaning lazily against the walls, illustrate what kind of place it is—a slum and a paradise for criminals, and pedestrians passing by the nearby streets are not only lowering their voices, but also speeding up their pace, for fear of having anything to do with it.

Harry Hill sat comfortably in his boss's chair, smoking a cigar and counting the bills in his hand. Business has been doing really well lately, and those poor addicts have contributed a lot of oil and water to themselves.

As one of the few bosses in the lower city, Harry Hill is in charge of the drug business in several nearby streets, and he is not a small person, although it costs a lot of money to get those damn strips, but the rest of the income still makes him a lot of money.

I must go to Hetty's little ** tonight to have a good time, thinking of the ** stunner he just picked up, Harry smiled lewdly, a little interested, and casually flicked the cigarette ash on the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Ah......h

Bursts of gunfire and clashes suddenly came from outside, mixed with a few familiar screams, which were clearly the voices of his own men. Frightened, Harry fell off the boss's chair all of a sudden, didn't even care about the cigarette butt falling on his pants and burning a hole, and hurriedly took out a pistol from the drawer, could it be that Clive's bastard came to grab the turf, and he actually dared to break the agreement with himself?!

As a cautious boss of the underground forces, although Harry is greedy and cunning, he will never do anything beyond his ability, and he knows how to follow the rules, like the Harlem district in the north, he never stretches out his hand, so there are not many real enemies of life and death, only Clive nearby has always coveted his own territory, and it is no wonder that he has such thoughts.

As he cautiously walked out of the room, he saw the entire door of the hall outside fly up, whistling past and knocking one of his hapless men to the ground with a terrible scream. Then a big man rushed in fiercely, and Harry raised his hand without thinking and fired two shots, all of which went into the big man's body, knocking him staggering.

"Damn bastard, let you taste awesome!" Harry's heart was settled, and he took a step forward with a cruel smile, but he was horrified to find that the big man only paused slightly, and then pounced at a faster speed, and the huge fist knocked over the other hand in front of him with just one punch, and the sound of bones breaking sounded clearly, half of the guy's head was already bloody and blurred, and his entire neck was even weaker, and he couldn't live.

Body armor? Or what?!

Harry was shocked, and a flurry of bullets spilled his head. He swore that most of the bullets had hit the strong man, and two of them had been shot in the head under his own intentional control, but he still couldn't change the situation, and he was still rushed in front of him by the other party, and his thick arms like ordinary thighs swept him away with just a wave.

Shit! Is this guy an elephant...... Harry only felt that Venus flashed in front of him, as if he had been hit by a high-speed truck, and he didn't know how many ribs he had broken, and he fell heavily to the shelf next to the wall, and fell to the ground for a long time, unable to move.

"No...... Don't kill me...... I know where Harry's money and drugs are...... I beg you to spare me! ”

**Raised Maika ...... I knew this guy was a softbone and couldn't be trusted. Hearing the voice of his henchman begging for mercy, Harry reluctantly felt a debt and wanted to get up, but he touched the wound and became in severe pain, and his eyes were black and he couldn't use his strength.

It seems that the other party doesn't seem to let Mika go, and with a scream, the guy who eats inside and outside is silent.

"Ho...... ...... hiss" Harry almost wanted to laugh out loud, but he touched the wound in his abdomen and gasped in pain. Of course, he is not so tough, but he still has a chance to save his life without a whistleblower.

Lying on the ground and unable to see the situation in the room at all, Harry tried hard for a while and finally reluctantly turned his body to the side, and only saw a strong man at least 190 centimeters and weighing more than 200 pounds standing in front of him, and the exposed body parts were all wrapped in a layer of dark armor, and he couldn't tell what the material was. There were several clear bullet holes in the armor, wriggling like a cloud of soft mud, squeezing out the deformed bullets one by one, and some transparent liquid flowed out.

FucK！ What the hell is this!

Now Harry finally knew why the other party had been shot so much, and what was even more terrifying was that the armor squeezed out the bullet and slowly faded. I don't know how to describe it, it seems to be attached to each other as if it has vitality, and it changes flexibly and quickly, and after the strange armor fades, it soon reveals a cold-looking white face.

What kind of monster is this...... Something beyond his knowledge appeared in front of him, and Harry shrank back in a panic with cold sweat on his forehead, he was already a little flustered by what happened today.

If old Morris were still alive, he might still be able to recognize who the person in front of him is. At this time, March's size was at least two laps larger, and only between his eyebrows and eyes still vaguely retained a little bit of the skinny addict's appearance. He frowned at the bullet holes in his coat, then crouched down with a sinister smile and stared at Harry as if a hungry wolf had seen its prey.

Bang dang! Another taller man appeared in Harry's sight, impatiently kicking away the chair in front of him and walking behind March.

Harry, who was stared at by these two behemoths, subconsciously shrank back, he thought that he had seen a lot of the world, and he had a lot of blood on his hands. But he swore that he had never seen these two strong men, and that the other's faces were full of unscrupulousness and ferocity, more terrible than the most ferocious outlaws he had ever seen, as if ...... Like two beasts in madness, they exude a bloody and murderous horror.
