Chapter Forty-Eight: A Dark Past

Because they entered this exam scene first, Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling's exploration progress was also far ahead of other candidates. And now, several candidates have decided to go to the abandoned Blue Bay No. 1 Middle School to investigate. However, Gao Ying is not optimistic that they will come back alive.

It can be said that if there is no absolute command, the candidates are afraid that they have already begun to riot, and it is even possible to use force against Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling and others. Each of them is struggling with despair and suffering, but most of their exam papers are still blank.

It's just that Gao Ying's cheating vision found that on the paper at the beginning of the speech, there were a lot more exam questions than Gao Ying.

Yan Yuchu already knew about Gao Ying's cheating visual ability, but he didn't mind letting Gao Ying watch it at all. Gao Ying also saw the generosity of the uncle in front of him, as the so-called favor debt is difficult to repay, and he also knew that since he had read the exam paper of Yan Yuchu, he naturally needed to remember this favor.

"Finally found out Zhang Zhilan's address."

Zhang Zhilan didn't seem to have a deep connection with those classmates back then, so he also asked a few people to find out the address.

It's already afternoon.

Zhang Zhilan was the last person to go to the beach that night. Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling and Yan Yuchu decided to go to this person together. So far, the useful information obtained is rather limited. Zhang Tianquan and Lin Dulu, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, hope to get clues from her.

According to Zhang Zhilan from other people's mouths, there is quite little information. She was mediocre-looking, inconspicuous in her class, and taciturn. is also because she is too introverted, so she is extremely lacking in presence, and most of the people in the class have no intersection. It is not known how much information can be obtained from her.

Zhang Zhilan's house is deep in a relatively secluded alley. Her house is not big and looks quite old.

Gao Ying walked to the door and knocked on the door.

It wasn't long before the door opened.

"Who are you?"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with a cigarette in her mouth, she only opened one crack in the door, looked at Gao Ying with an obviously wary look, and asked impatiently, "Who?" ”

Gao Ying only felt that the smoke was very choking, and immediately said, "Pinch the cigarette first." ”

The impatience on the middle-aged woman's face quickly disappeared, and she dropped the cigarette on the ground.

At this time, another voice came from the room: "What's going on?" Who is it? ”

"All the next actions are under my command, and you are not allowed to speak without my orders." After Gao Ying gave the order to the middle-aged woman, he walked into this dimly lit room. The room was dimly lit, the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was a miasma of smoke inside. Several people gathered around a table made of two tables, filled with playing cards and bills.

Clearly, these people are gambling in groups.

"Who are you?"

"Sister Ling, what are you doing?"

Gao Ying quickly walked to the curtain and quickly opened the curtain so that everyone in the room could see his face clearly. And at this time, Zhu Sunling and Yan Yuchu also came in.

"What are you doing?" A man with a cigarette walked up, and was about to say something more, when Gao Ying coldly gave an order.

"From now on...... Everyone is at my command...... Sit down! Don't speak without my orders! ”

Under Gao Ying's solemn expression, everyone acted like puppets according to his instructions and sat down collectively.

And Zhu Sunling opened the window, on the one hand, to facilitate escape, and on the other hand, it was also unbearable to bear the smell of cigarettes in the room. After opening the window, the smell finally dispelled a lot.

Gao Ying also waved his arm to dispel the strong smell of cigarettes, and then ordered everyone to snuff out the cigarette butts in the ashtray. In this way, the indoor air is a little more bearable.

At the beginning of the day, he stood at the door, making sure that the door would not close suddenly. He watched Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling cooperate seamlessly, and couldn't help but feel that these two people were also very tacit. Moreover, whether it is appearance or wisdom, the two can be said to be equal, and they can be called talented women.

This can't help but make Yan Yuchu recall his former self. When he was still a Death-level candidate, he also met a woman who cooperated with him, and after that, he ...... Countless times of life and death have become a beloved that cannot be forgotten even if they are reincarnated. The past is like smoke, and after living again, his biggest realization is that good things are always short-lived and not easy to last. At the beginning of the speech that he had only regained the memory of his previous life after entering the exam scene, he had already deeply realized that the eternal immortal life had no meaning at all. Immortality is actually another more cruel way to die.

Looking at Zhu Sunling, who was so obsessed with immortality in front of him, he couldn't help but feel that Zweig's evaluation of Queen Mary who was on the guillotine was quite appropriate: she was too young at that time to know all the gifts given by fate, and she had already secretly marked the price.

"Who is Zhang Zhilan?"

Gao Ying shouted, staring at everyone in front of him, but no one answered.

So he changed his question: "Where is Zhang Zhilan?" ”

This time someone finally answered.

The answer was the middle-aged woman named Sister Ling who opened the door.

"She's out."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know."

After inquiry, I learned that this woman was Zhang Zhilan's mother. Zhang Zhilan's father was a man at the gaming table who was also smoking. They always gather here to gamble, and at this time the whole house is full of smoke, and Zhang Zhilan will leave the house at this time. Where she went, her parents didn't know.

So Gao Ying could only ask about Zhang Zhilan's situation first.

In TW, unlike HK, gambling is completely illegal. However, the Blue Bay Town is located in a remote area, and the Tianyun Club also has some underground casinos, and they greet the police in advance and pay tribute to some profits, so the police turn a blind eye. Of course, this is just a private gamble, and the gambling amount is not very large. Zhang Zhilan's parents are both bad gamblers. Zhang Zhilan has never mentioned this to any of his classmates. It is no wonder that she has formed a taciturn and unspeakable character.

When asked about Zhang Zhilan's situation at school when she was a student, her parents almost didn't know anything, except for paying her tuition, food and housing, they didn't know anything else, and they were only full of gambling.

"You have been gambling for a long time, how do you pay off your gambling debts?"

"Let my daughter go out and sell herself." Zhang Zhilan's mother replied categorically.

This calm answer made Gao Ying stunned.

"You...... What did you say? Gao Ying grabbed Zhang Zhilan's mother's collar and lifted her up: "You let her sell it...... Body? Why is she willing? ”

"She doesn't sell herself, and the people in the casino won't let us go."

"So she agreed?"

"That's right."

Gao Ying only felt trembling all over.

"You and your husband are willing to let her sell?"

"What's the matter, she is our daughter, and it is natural to go out and sell her body for us for money."

Gao Ying suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in detail, and learned that in high school, Zhang Zhilan frequently sold out of spring. Although she is average-looking, she develops quickly after puberty, so she actually has a good business. During the period when the parents owed gambling debts, those who asked for debts in the casino said that they could also sell themselves to pay off the debts. The people in the police station have also been bought by Tianyun Society, and it is useless to call the police. Of course, Zhang Zhilan resolutely refused at first, but at that time, the person in charge of collecting debts was Brother Shun, who was killed by Gao Ying, and they were vicious, saying that as long as they didn't pay back the money, they would harvest their organs to pay off the debt. Although Boss Xiong was in charge of affairs at that time, and his style was relatively gentle, there were so many people in Tianyun Society, and it was impossible for him to manage all the people below. What's more, collecting gambling debts is a matter of course, and if you don't want to pay back, don't come to gamble.

"Who were the specific identities of the people in charge of debt collection at that time?"

"The one who takes the lead is called Brother Shun." Zhang Zhilan's father recalled: "I was very impressed by the two people he followed, one was named Kun Zai, and the other was called Quanzi. ”

"All the sons?" Gao Ying suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Is it called Zhang Tianquan?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that his name is Quanzi."

"Does your daughter know him?"

"Yes, he knows my daughter."
