Chapter 15: The Black Prison Dispatches
Imperial Capital, 13th Street, Night.
The entire empire was already permeated with a smell of decay, especially the imperial capital, which was the center of the entire empire.
However, compared to some places where the sun does not shine for many years, the decay of the imperial capital is just a joke.
The breeding grounds of darkness that will never see the light, the abyss of despair without any hope, the slums that contain all evil, are far darker than the decaying imperial capitals, which at least superficially maintain basic order!
If the person who lived in the slums returned to the sunshine of the imperial capital, then he would only feel that the life of those who were oppressed by the nobility, officials, and taxes was simply heaven!
Block 13 is one such slum.
Thieves, villains, robbers and murderers, slave traders who specialize in targeting single women in the imperial capital, and gangs are everywhere here, and it is a filthy collection of the entire imperial capital.
The people here have nothing, the people here are drunk and dreaming of death, the people here do all kinds of evil, everyone here is a thief, a robbery and murderer, crime is their habit, and kindness cannot be seen here.
They fight, they fight, they treat human life like a mustard, and they don't take their own lives seriously.
If a stranger strays in, it won't take a minute for his belongings to appear in the hands of the gang leaders, and he will disappear from the world.
He may be sold into slavery by the aristocracy, or he may become material for some mad scientist, but in any case, he will never appear in this world again.
Here is always followed by the principle of the naked law of the jungle, there is no law, there is no mercy, those who are strong will always be strong, and those who are weak will always be weak.
The decaying earth was lined with low, dark houses, sewage flowed everywhere, and greedy eyes flashed in the dilapidated houses.
A richly dressed man in gold and silver staggered down Thirteenth Street, his precious leather shoes trampling on the foul-smelling muddy puddles, and the splashes of sewage stained his trousers made of precious silk.
In the past, even a little dust stuck to his precious pants would have made him furious, but today, he didn't notice it.
Escape! Run! Run away! It's better to escape from the imperial capital and escape the empire!
This is the only thought of a man, he doesn't want any power, wealth, or enjoyment, he just wants his own life.
In the same way, the greedy eyes of the owners of those dilapidated houses in the darkness did not move, if such a person appeared on Street Thirteen in the past, he would definitely not be able to hold a breath and be eaten by these people!
But now, these people watched the man go away.
Ten minutes ago, the man was the emperor in the shadows of Thirteenth Street, he was high up, controlling the life and death of tens of thousands of people on Thirteenth Street, and his subordinates were extremely powerful.
Ten minutes ago, he was still enjoying beautiful women, enjoying the awe of others, enjoying countless wealth and power.
Ten minutes later, however, he did not even know whether he would be able to save his life, and fled in all directions, as anxious as a lost dog, wandering like a fish that had slipped through the net.
All this is because ten minutes ago, that strange man in black appeared!
The man didn't know who the man in black was, and he didn't know why he was dealing with him, he only knew that if he ran into that person again, he would definitely die!
Whenever he thinks back to that moment, men shudder.
The netherworld flame of death suddenly ignited, and the black flames that burned the sky engulfed everything, and before the henchmen could react, they lost their lives in that instant, and even the corpses turned into sand in the black smoke and floated into the air.
The rest of the gang knelt down in a panic, revering the figure in the black flames like a god, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and they kept kowtowing to plead guilty.
At that time, the man didn't dare to continue looking, and took advantage of the chaos to escape the crowd, and in a panic, he didn't even dress up in disguise, and he didn't have time to change the gold and silver on his body and the expensive clothes.
The man wants to live, he knows that he is gone, that there is nothing, and when fear is replaced by another, when authority is trampled under the feet of another, the number one gang in the so-called Thirteenth Street Underworld that he has established is a joke.
I'm afraid that the subordinates who used to flatter themselves and pretend to be loyal dogs are frantically looking for themselves everywhere, so that they can ask for credit in front of their new masters!
"These damn scum, don't react so quickly!"
Although he knew that cunning and betrayal were commonplace in the slums, the man couldn't help but curse.
Thinking of the impending manhunt, the man couldn't help but quicken his pace, turned a few street corners, and disappeared into the vast wilderness beyond Thirteenth Street.
Watching the man's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, the greedy eyes in the dilapidated house were about to move, but when the man's figure completely disappeared into the night, the owner of those eyes did not move.
Not everyone has the guts to strike at the owner of a large gang, even if he is alone.
Of course, if they knew that the identity of the man's helper was already in the past, the situation would have been completely different......
......
"What a fool, I still have some scruples if you run to the streets of the imperial capital, but aren't you looking for death when you run to this kind of wilderness! Yes, how dare a rat like you be exposed in broad daylight? ”
A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind the man, and the man was startled, but before he could react, the man in black suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him in the stomach.
The man immediately flew backwards like a rag doll, rolling on the ground several times in a row.
"You...... Who are you! Why kill me? ”
Shocking blood gushed from the corners of the man's mouth, and he struggled to his feet, his hands on his stomach, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He knew that he was absolutely going to die, his internal organs had been shattered, and the gods could not save him.
But he was not reconciled, at least he had to know why he was killed.
The man in black didn't speak, as if he was a mute, even in the face of a dying person, the man in black refused to reveal the slightest rumor.
Finally, as life continued to pass, the man's face became more and more pale, and finally fell to the ground and turned into a cold corpse.
However, the man in black did not leave immediately, but instead drew a long knife and stabbed the corpse in the heart.
Even if it's a dead man, make sure he can't be brought back to life, this is the creed of the man in black when he is trained.
Black flames suddenly burst out, and the man's body was instantly covered in flames, and then turned into sand and dissipated into the air.
After doing this, the man in black took out a black cube box made of unknown materials from his bosom, pressed the red button on it, and suddenly the cube box made a rustling noise.
The man in black was obviously familiar with this, and put the black square box to his mouth, and then a low, somewhat hoarse voice sounded:
"Black Jail Four Raven reports that Target Thirteen has been cleared...... Repeated, Target No. 13 cleared ......"
"Zizizi...... Roger that...... Command...... Back to ......"
A gust of wind blew, and the black cloak on the crow's body suddenly drifted away with the wind, and a black and ominous smoke emanated from his body, dissipating in the air with the wind.
Suddenly, the crow leaped violently, turned into a black crow in midair, spread its wings, and disappeared into the sky......
The wilderness fell silent as if nothing had happened......
