Chapter 130: Zuan (3)
The Zuan people can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is the resourceful, strong and unyielding, hard-working Zuan people, which is the true spiritual core of Zuan under the surface of poverty, chaos, and crime, and is the greatest contributor to Zu'an's rebirth from destruction. The other is the evil, cruel, and twisted criminals, the rulers of Zaun, the alchemy barons, there are many people who belong to this kind of people, they are the obstacles and tumors of Zaun's rise.
Order in Zaun is more chaotic than in Phi, but it's also much more liberal, although, that's not necessarily a good thing.
In Leather City, there are many Hextech technologies that are forbidden to research, either because they are too dangerous, or because they are in the interests of the ruling families, or because they are ...... It is against people's morals and ethics.
However, none of this is a problem in Zuan, and you can work on any subject you want, whether it's bombs or human modifications.
Many mad scientists have come to Zu'an because of this, and they have caused a lot of crises, but some genius ideas have not been erased.
Overall, it's more innovative, cautious and adventurous than Pitt City, but it's also wilder.
Lu Yang walked down the streets, his destination today was the Academy of Science and Magic, the most famous school in Zu'an.
In this school, a large number of famous alchemists, inventors and scientists have come out, and even ordinary students who have graduated from this school can become the pillars of the workshop.
However, he didn't plan to sneak in this time, the Academy of Science and Magic was just a school after all, unlike Hex's Workshop, which hid a lot of secrets, and it wouldn't be difficult if he just visited it.
Of course, it is not easy to get in, Lu Yang has heard that except for students, only the official tutors in the academy can bring people into the school. However, Lu Yang has a way, and he has already inquired about a unique technique - sending money.
Yes, as long as you pay a certain amount of gold, the doorman will take the initiative to connect you with a tutor, and the service is very good, and it also comes with a full tour guide service.
The more money you give, the higher the level of the tutor you can contact, the greater the range of visits, and even, if you can pay enough money, even the dean can call over.
This is a well-known unspoken rule.
It's morning, and the workers are out of the house for the day's work, and some naughty children are taking to the streets, venturing out in abandoned workshops, graffiti on walls, or playing mischievous pranks.
Lu Yang constantly felt that there were eyes on him, many of them with deep malice.
This is probably the gang gangsters or alchemist-punk teenagers.
At first, Lu Yang was still a little confused, but he was quickly relieved.
His dress, although not gorgeous enough in the eyes of Picheng people, can be called "glamorous" in Zu'an, especially when he also carries a backpack, which is very attractive.
However, although many people are eyeing him, no one dares to do it lightly.
Because, after he left the elevator, he let go of his momentum, and the first impression anyone who saw him was "this person is not easy to mess with".
Lu Yang had already expected Zu An's chaos, and he was not flustered in the face of this situation at this time, after all, compared to the hell-level Shadow Island and the nightmare-level Bilgewater, Zu An was only a difficult-level copy at most.
Along the way, people left one after another, and they also joined the team that targeted Lu Yang one after another.
He pretended not to notice it, and waited for the first person to jump out.
Who could it be? The gangster with a fist in the third window on the second floor of the building in front? She's been following me for half a block. Or the little radish head that was secretly hanging behind me, thinking I didn't know? Or the ugly bastard of "damn walking out into the streets and scaring people" in the shadow on the left?
"What are you doing?" A loud question rang out.
Together with Lu Yang, most of the people were attracted to attention.
"Badass! It is you people who have destroyed the peace of Zu'an and hindered progress, and when I grow up, I will destroy you all. β
A little Lori, who had blue hair and was about six or seven years old, crossed her hands on her hips, and righteously criticized the ugly guy in the corner that Lu Yang had just mentioned.
The pedestrians on the road all showed unsurprising expressions, and it was obvious that they were all strangers to the little girl, some with a sneer on their faces, others with worried faces.
The corner of the mouth of the man who was scolded by the little girl twitched, stood up, and stepped out of the shadows.
This person is strong, his face is full of tattoos, his nostrils are turned out, and the stench on his body can be smelled from a long distance Lu Yang, he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and said in a vicious voice: "Get away, little fart!" β
Forced by his height and scolding, the little girl couldn't help but take two steps back, a trace of fear flashed on her face, but she still mustered up her courage and said loudly: "I saw that you just aimed the weapon in your hand at that uncle. β
Lu Yang was a little surprised, because she was pointing at herself.
"Little brat, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." The tattooed villain's expression was hideous, like a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour, but when he noticed the staring eyes of the street staring at him, he still didn't have a seizure, but dropped a cruel word and left in a hurry.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I cut your tongue."
Before leaving, he also glanced at Lu Yang defiantly, which probably meant "good luck for you today" or something.
Lu Yang's face was indifferent, and when everyone was not paying attention, his fingers flicked, and a wisp of sword qi quietly burrowed into the evil man's chest.
The wicked man who was leaving had a pain in his chest, staggered a little, and then returned to normal, he muttered a few curses, and his pace sped up a little.
"Bad guys." The little girl muttered angrily.
The pedestrians who stopped began to disperse, and some people who knew the little girl were a little worried, but they didn't say much. They had persuaded them many times before in similar situations, but next time, the little girl would still go her own way, and they could only pray that she would not encounter any danger.
The little girl walked to Lu Yang's side with her calves, looked up at Lu Yang, and said, "I'm sorry." β
Lu Yang squatted down and asked with a smile, "Why do you say you're sorry?" β
"You're in danger in Zu'an, I'm from Zu'an, so I should naturally say sorry to you." The little girl blinked with big eyes and a serious face.
"You're quite a bit of a master." He smiled, "It's dangerous, you know? β
"I'm not afraid!" The little girl exclaimed, "I must beat all the villains of Zuan away in the future." β
A trace of astonishment crossed Lu Yang's eyes.
Although very naΓ―ve, this kind of child full of justice and ideals does not seem to match Zuan's temperament.
Seeing that Lu Yang didn't speak, an anxious expression appeared on the little girl's face: "Actually, most of Zu'an are good people, if you meet a bad person, you can find me, and I will protect you." β
She cares a lot about what others think of Zuan.
Lu Yang didn't know what to say for a while, this little girl, full of justice and pure love for her hometown, made him a little moved.
Since the crossing, whether it is himself or the people he comes into contact with, there are few people who have such positive energy, even children.
After thinking about it, he asked seriously, "How do you protect me?" β
The little girl looked around, her face was a little tangled, and after a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, leaned into Lu Yang's ear, and whispered, "I have a gun and explosives, don't tell anyone else." β
Lu Yang was about to say something, when a young woman with blue hair suddenly walked out and hugged the little girl: "Jinx, why are you running around again?" β
The little girl lay in the young woman's arms and said excitedly, "Mom, I just beat a bad guy away. β
The young woman rubbed the little girl's hair, and although there was some worry in her eyes, she still praised her: "What a good boy, but this kind of thing is very dangerous, didn't I tell you that when you encounter a bad person, you must first report to the guards, or come to your mother?" β
"However, by the time I found the bad guy, he was already going to do something bad, and I didn't have time to report it to the guards." The little girl pouted.
The young woman picked up the little girl and whispered to Lu Yang, "I'm sorry, sir." β
Then, I want to leave.
After the young woman said the first sentence, Lu Yang was a little sluggish, and finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." β
"What's the matter?" The young woman's eyes were wary.
"Well, Ling Ai just saved me, and I haven't thanked me yet." Lu Yang was a little embarrassed.
"No need, it's just a child's play, as long as it doesn't cause you trouble."
"No, no, if Ling Ai hadn't broken that person's actions, I would be in a lot of trouble."
Well, killing people on the street should be a lot of trouble, right?
Without waiting for the young woman to speak, Lu Yang hurriedly said: "Let's get acquainted again, my name is Lu Yang, and I am from Bilgewater." β
The little girl exclaimed, "My name is Jinx, and welcome to Zu'an, Mr. Lu Yang." β
Hearing that he was from Bilgewater, Jinx's mother became even more nervous, and hurriedly said "something" and left, but the little girl was very enthusiastic, and turned her head desperately in her mother's arms, shouting: "Mr. Lu Yang, I hope you like Zu'an, you can come to me if you are in danger, my home is in ...... Woohoo......"
Before she finished speaking, the little girl was covered by her mother.
Lu Yang smiled and waved his hand at the little girl.
He didn't chase because his purpose had been achieved.
"It's really Jinx."
Standing in place, Lu Yang was speechless for a long time, and the two faces, one big and one small, gradually overlapped in his mind.
In Jinx's story, her past is described as a mystery.
Just briefly mentioned that some old people have seen an innocent and ambitious little daughter who looks similar to Jinx.
But what does Jinx look like in the future?
Nervous mania, bad deeds, impulsive, willful, lawless......
What did she go through to change from the innocent little girl she is now to the vandal maniac Lori?
Maybe it has something to do with her family, Lu Yang guessed.
Because, if her mother still exists, there will be no such thing as a mystery of origin.
