13. Children's Gang
Seeing the woman's expression change suddenly, Rayson knew that he had the right idea. This woman opened a hotel, ushered in the send-off, and will definitely know some news.
"What are you asking all this for?" The woman said coldly.
"I'm looking for someone, she was sold to the Society of Saints at a slave auction."
The woman's face softened slightly, but there was still doubt in her eyes: "What you said is true?" ”
"You haven't made me lie yet." Rayson sneered.
The woman thought for a while, and finally took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what the saints will say, but I do know a little bit about the slave auction. ”
"Speak quickly!" Rayson was a little anxious, and inadvertently pressed the woman closer.
"You're going to let me say that?"
Listening to the woman's words, Rayson realized that they were still in an awkward position, and even the woman's legs were still on his shoulders to make a line.
Rayson let go of the woman's grip and took two steps back, but the knife was not returned to her.
The woman moved her muscles for a moment before she said, "The person who controls the slave auction is Saito, the boss of the black market, and in addition to the black market, the Colosseum is also his." He would hold regular slave auctions, but he did not trade slaves himself, but only provided a venue, and then collected a certain amount of supplies from the slave traders who came to participate and gave them a public sale. ”
Rayson fell into deep thought. Things are getting more and more complicated, so it is very likely that Su Ling was also brought to Devon City by a group of slave traders who came here from other places to participate in the auction, and then sold to the Saints' Guild. This makes it more difficult to track down, and who knows if the slave traders will come again.
Seeing that Rayson was deep in thought, the woman said in a deep voice: "I have received a rumor, ten days later, there will be a slave auction, if you want to find someone, you can take a look at it then." ”
Ten days, Rayson listened to the news, and did not feel relaxed at all. The more time passes, the more difficult it will be to track down, and who knows where Su Ling will be in ten days?
Thinking about it, Rayson's eyes began to look at the woman again: "You know, quite a lot. ”
The woman couldn't tell that Rayson was suspicious of him, and sighed and said, "I'll show you something." ”
With that, the woman began to unbutton her blouse. Rayson was surprised.
At the last moment, the buttons were also unbuttoned, and the shirt was left open on both sides, leaking snow-white skin.
The woman suddenly turned, flicked her clothes, and showed her back to Rayson.
The imaginary white-skinned and beautiful back did not appear, but instead there were one staggered scar after another, which looked particularly shocking on the woman's white back.
"See clearly." The woman paused for a few seconds to make sure Rayson had enough time to see clearly, then put on his clothes and buttoned them.
"I was once, caught by a slave trader named Durant, and in his hands, I experienced all the darkness you can't imagine. Before he had tortured me enough and sold me, I found a chance to escape. ”
The woman turned around and looked at him deeply: "I swore that if I saw him again, I would kill him." So every time there is a slave auction, I will secretly pay attention to see if Durant will come here to participate in it as well. ”
Speaking of this, the woman looked at Rayson's gaze with a slightly complicated meaning: "What if...... You have news from him, please let me know. If you can bring him to me, I can give you everything you want. ”
"Including...... Myself. ”
When the woman said this, she was a little more determined, but Rayson did not respond.
Looking at the thoughtful Rayson, the woman asked curiously: "The person you are looking for is important to you?" ”
"Very important." Rayson said without hesitation.
"Heh......" the woman sneered: "Saito is a real ruthless man, and the slave traders are not good at stubble, if you provoke them, you will probably die." Even if so, are you going to look for it? ”
"I've come to my senses."
Looking at Rayson's face full of determination, the woman was stunned, and for a while, she smiled.
She smiled without any disdain. Turned and walked out of Rayson's room.
"Welcome, this guest."
The woman consciously closed the door and did not offer to take back her knife.
Rayson shook his head with a wry smile, unconsciously touched the right side of his hidden head, and whispered softly: "Can I hold on...... Goodbye to you that day? Su Ling ......"
In the evening, Rayson left the hotel. Maurice sat on the opposite side of the street, apparently having been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Rayson appear, Maurice hurriedly greeted him, and his sharp-beaked monkey cheek face was full of flattery: "Boss, I've decided, I'll follow you." ”
Referring to Maurice as his boss, Rayson was uncomfortable: "You just have to do what I say, and I will give you your remuneration on time." ”
Maurice nodded, and then stopped talking for a long time before he asked tentatively, "Boss, have you met the owner of the hotel?" ”
"Nonsense, otherwise how would I live in it?"
"Then that ......" Maurice was sincerely afraid: "Then, you didn't mess with her, did you?" Not how, right? ”
Rayson paused: "What? Are you worried about her? Like her? ”
"No, no, no! How dare I! Maurice waved his hand again and again: "The innkeeper Aretha is a woman from Saito." Boss, I advise you, don't get too close to her, or Saito will find out and you will definitely be in trouble! ”
Is the innkeeper a woman from Saito? Rayson was a little surprised, but according to what he said during the previous contact, when talking about Saito, the woman didn't show anything special.
"Boss, what do you want?"
Lei Sen suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head, this kind of gossip is not something he should care about: "It's nothing, take me to the black market you said first." ”
After walking for more than twenty minutes and passing through a few alleys, Rayson was taken by Maurice to a small square in the ruined city.
This is the legendary black market, and at first glance, Rayson is reminded of the old world vegetable market, but the variety here is more complex, and there is everything to buy and sell. All kinds of strange shapes, I don't know if they are vegetables and fruits grown from the radiated soil; Hanging up stinky, fly-ridden meat; worn-out clothes and shoes; There are also stalls that specialize in selling mechanical parts that I don't know what they do, and even cold weapons and hot weapons.
Rayson first walked around the arms dealer's stall, but most of them were home-made guns, and there were no good goods, and the stall owner enthusiastically promoted it, saying that he could choose one at will with only a few cans or ten bottles of water, which still did not arouse Rayson's interest.
After a few turns around the entire black market, Rayson exchanged half a pill for twelve cans and twenty bottles of water, and when the stall owner graciously took the pills, he also gave an extra can.
Rayson noticed that Maurice's eyes had been staring at the butcher's stall, and when he had an idea, he went over and exchanged a bottle of water for half a pound of meat.
Next to the butcher's stall is a cage with a huge head covered in tumours and odd spots. This is a typical symptom of radiation contamination.
However, it is a blessing to be able to eat meat now, and most people don't care if the meat is clean or not.
Maurice stared at the meat in Rayson's hand, and the drumming sounded from his stomach.
Rayson didn't hesitate, and threw the meat directly to him: "Go and inquire about me, all the news about the Saints' Society, any news, report to me after you hear it." ”
Maurice looked at the meat that Rayson threw at him, froze for two seconds, and hurriedly pulled open his clothes and hid the meat in the deepest part of it.
"Thank you, Boss! You can rest assured! I'll do it! ”
Just as he was leaving, Rayson stopped Maurice again and threw him a can: "In addition to asking for news, you also have to let out the news." Let's just say, there is a man who lives in a corner hotel, and he wants to buy a female slave at a high price! ”
"Boss, you want to buy slaves?" Maurice was a little dazed, Rayson didn't intend to explain too much, and said coldly: "If you want to do it, you will do it, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
"Good, good! I got it! I'll go. Maurice nodded hurriedly, and ran out with a cigarette in his hand.
Watching Maurice run away, Rayson's heart was still full of worry.
At present, there are still too few clues, and so far, he has not seen a living Saints' Guild or slave trader. It is expected that he will sit back and wait, so it is better to take the initiative and let Maurice release the news, just to see if any slave traders will take the initiative to find him, so that he may be able to catch one or two people and force more clues.
Lei Sen knew very well that the longer the time dragged on, the farther away Su Ling would be from him, the more difficult it would be to track down, and he had to do everything possible to find more clues as soon as possible, so that he could find Su Ling before he was killed by cancer.
I walked around the black market twice, tried to ask a few people, but got no news of the Saints' Order. There were a few big men in the corner who were asleep against the corner, still snoring, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Leaving the black market and returning to the hotel, on the way through the alley that had been blocked and robbed by Maurice and others, it was extremely dim, but for some reason, there was a noise.
There seems to be, Maurice's voice.
Rayson walked in quietly. In the depths of the alley, it was the boys' gang again, surrounding Maurice, who was bruised and purple, obviously having been beaten, and was kneeling in front of a girl at this moment.
The ruffian who was stunned by Rayson's slap last time was not there, and this time it seems that this girl is the leader. Compared to other teenagers, she looks a little older, but at most she is just an adult.
Although she was a girl, she drove arrogantly, and she didn't lose to the ruffian last time, and spat out a mouthful of old phlegm at Maurice who was kneeling in front of her: "Maurice!" Don't forget, you're a low-class pariah! What do you think you're a thing? Dare to oppose us. ”
"I ...... I really don't! I didn't! Maurice knelt on the ground, his body trembling unconsciously, and he buried his head in the face of the girl.
"Do you think you're covered? Cow? Dare to disobey us? Just a can, and the offense to us is over? The girl coldly stretched out her foot and stepped on Maurice's head: "I'll tell you! You are an inferior person who only deserves to be trampled under our feet, and you are our dog! You know? ”
"I know! I'm inferior! It's a dog! Maurice still did not look up, and he followed whatever the girl said, kneeling on the ground like a real dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
"Hahaha! Not bad! Good puppy! From this point on, I won't bother with you today. ”
As she spoke, the girl took two steps back and spread her legs, apparently letting Maurice slip through it.
Maurice, looking up, actually began to move, crawling forward little by little. There was no anger in his eyes, no unwillingness, all numbness.
Rayson was originally thinking about whether to stop it, lest these people embarrass Maurice and make a good fight, and he has to find a guide again.
But seeing such a scene, all he had in his heart was disgust, Maurice did not resist, and let a group of hairy boys bully, this weakness was not worthy of sympathy in his eyes.
Turning his head, Rayson was leaving.
One of the teenagers seemed to sense the movement, glanced back, and immediately recognized Rayson from the long cloth bag he was carrying.
"Big sister! It's him, it's that kid who injured the second brother! ”
As he spoke, the man grabbed the steel pipe in his hand and threw it at Rayson.
Originally, Rayson was disgusted by all this in front of him, and he had a nameless fire in his stomach, and he was not polite when he saw the steel pipe thrown over, so he caught it directly, and threw it back with his backhand.
This time, the steel pipe was not caught, and it directly smashed on the head of the young man who threw out the steel pipe, knocking him unconscious.
The other teenagers surrounding Maurice also came back to their senses, and the girl didn't care about continuing to toss Maurice, and shouted: "What are you all doing in a daze? Don't hurry up yet! ”
Now that he has been discovered, Rayson is not welcome, this group of arrogant furry children is not worth worrying about too much for him. Just because he doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean he's afraid of things.
A group of teenagers lunged at Rayson.
After a while, they were all lying on the ground again.
This time, it was faster than the time when Maurice led people to rob Rayson, and these people were obviously more seriously injured, lying on the ground and unable to get up at all, each holding their broken arms and thighs, and constantly snorting and howling.
After cleaning up the miscellaneous fish, Rayson walked towards the girl who was the leader.
The girl watched her companions fall to the ground, no longer arrogant just now, looking at the approaching Rayson with a frightened face, holding a rusty paper cutter in her hand, and unconsciously retreated: "You, don't come here, I'm our boss'......"
"That's not how knives work."
Rayson didn't talk nonsense with her at all, walked over and stretched out his hand, and instantly snatched the paper cutter. Then he raised his hand again with a sneer, and then withdrew it.
At the moment when the action ended, the girl only felt a cold cheek, and when she touched it again, it hurt her heart. Rayson just now, a cut was made on the girl's face, and blood was constantly gushing.
"Ah!!h The girl screamed: "You dare to scratch my face!" I'll kill you! ”
The girl screamed, and took out a knife from each of her pants pockets and stabbed Rayson.
Rayson stretched out his hand twice again.
The girl stabbed out, but felt that her two hands directly hit two soft objects. Looking at it again, the two knives that he took out just now were also taken away by Rayson, and he had nothing in his hands, and they hit Rayson's chest directly.
"What are you doing?"
Rayson looked at it coldly, reached out and grabbed the girl's neck, and pressed her directly against the wall.
The force was fierce, and the girl only felt a strong feeling of suffocation, and she couldn't move at all.
Rayson restrained the girl with one hand, and threw the knife in front of Maurice, who was still kneeling.
"Pick it up! Do what a man does! ”
