Char was silent.

He knows the embarrassment of poverty.

Char was forced to sell his body and let others play with him just because of the rent of 2,200 federal coins.

Twenty thousand federal coins is enough to crush one person.

"This is a goddamn time!"

Locke suddenly pointed to the lead-gray sky and cursed.

"I know, Eli has a hard life! However, in this damned age, everyone is struggling to make ends meet. He's under pressure, am I not? Locke was silent for a while, then said, "I also want to make money, and I also want to support my family, so that my daughter can go to the aristocratic school of the upper city, so that she can have a good future." On the surface, I look glamorous, a petty leader of exiles, but in fact I have long been in debt. I'm bracing... I'm trying my best! What can I do? Like Eli, the bastard, to commit suicide? Don't be funny! There is only hope if you are alive! Dead, I have nothing but my daughter's tears! ”

Locke flicked the cigarette butt downstairs, stared at the spark and disappeared into the darkness, turned to Char and said, "You are different from Eli, at least you are not addicted to drugs!" You have a future! Remember, don't get addicted to drugs! Don't drink too much! Don't get addicted to the internet! People always have to live in reality and find a job! If you don't have a way, I can help you. Although the income is meager, I promise that it has nothing to do with the gang and is a clean job! As for the rent, I can make an exception and extend it for you for another month. Next month, I hope you will live up to my expectations and give me two months' rent. ”

Char looked at Locke in surprise.

He didn't expect that Locke was a fierce organization leader on the surface, but he was actually a good person.

Locke was thinking about himself and didn't want to follow Eli's path himself.

Upon learning of Eli's suicide, Char's mood was a little gloomy and even hopeless.

But Locke's words made Char's lonely heart feel a trace of long-lost warmth.

"Thank you." Char said heartily.

"Go for it, boy! The worse the era, the more we have to desperately live! Locke patted Char on the shoulder and smiled.

"It doesn't take next month. I'll help him pay the bills. ”

A cold girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Char and Locke.

Char turned his head and saw a familiar figure, his eyes suddenly blurred.

Stunning face, short purple hair, silver headphones around his neck, and rebellious and indifferent eyes.

Susanna!

"The Silverwing Guild..."

Locke keenly noticed that the purple-haired girl had a pair of silver wings on her collar.

That's the emblem of the Silverwing Hunters' Guild.

Locke immediately stood up, came to the purple-haired girl, and said with a flattering smile: "It turned out to be a hunter..."

"How much is the bill?" Suzanne asked, without even looking at Locke.

"If we had known that Char was a friend of the hunters, we wouldn't have taken this little money," Locke continued.

"I'll give you one last chance, how much is it!" Suzanne was visibly impatient.

"2200...," Locke said honestly.

The corners of Susanna's mouth twitched slightly, and she immediately slid her fingers, transferred the money to Locke, and said coldly: "I don't like you!" Don't let me see you again. ”

Locke nodded and trotted off the rooftop.

"Big brother, where's Char's boy?" Two of Locke's men had just disposed of the corpse, and when they saw Locke running downstairs in a panic, they immediately asked.

"your!" Cold sweat was on Locke's forehead and he reprimanded loudly.

"Unexpectedly, Char's friend is a hunter, and he is a hunter of Silverwing... Luckily, when I saw Eli's body, I was moved with compassion. If I really had the idea of selling Char to the Starlight Society, that purple-haired girl wouldn't spare me. Maybe the boss won't be able to keep me. ”

Locke was afraid for a while, and with his two men, he quickly left the neighborhood.

......

On the rooftop.

"You're okay, great!"

Char smiled when she saw that Suzanne was safe and sound.

Truth be told, that day at Fort William, Suzanne had only one head left, and Char really thought she was dead.

"It's okay, it's weird."

The corners of Susanna's mouth twitched slightly.

Ender, the android, destroyed all of her prosthetic limbs, and she replaced them with the latest mechanical prosthetic limbs, using all her savings.

That's the money Suzanne had worked so hard to save.

The thought of this made Susanna's heart bleed.

"Anyway, thank you for helping me pay off the bills. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back this money. Char thanked Susanna.

“... Not necessarily. ”

Suzanne was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "This time, I am specifically thanking you. If it weren't for you... I have died at Ender's hands. Besides... I have a few more important things to inform you. ”

"Thank you... Not necessarily. I didn't do much to help, I just ran away. What's important for you looking for me? Char shook his head, he didn't want to recall the horror of Fort William.

Suzanne raised her right hand and raised her index finger, and her fingertips bloomed with a black light that seemed like a curtain, enveloping the entire rooftop.

"All over Hope City, there are pinhole cameras and drones everywhere. This is the curtain that blocks most of the signals. What I'm going to tell you next involves some secrets. ”

Suzanne looked solemn.

Char is in the middle of the curtain and finds that there is silence around him, and the noise of the billboard has completely disappeared, as if he is in another world.

"With the intervention of the Federation and the Silver Wing Guild, the matter of Fort William was perfectly resolved. Ander is dead. The Cyclops' heart was also taken away by the Federation. Suzanne looked at Char, "Actually, I don't know much. All I know is that the whole affair is the layout of a big shot. We are all pawns in the game. ”

Suzanne stared into Char's eyes, trying to see some clues in them.

However, Char did not behave out of the ordinary.

"Am I really worried? How could a person who couldn't even take out 2,200 federal coins have anything to do with that great witch hermit. Even if he is an agent of the hermit, he may not be aware of it. ”

Suzanne said secretly in her heart.

Naturally, she would not have thought that Char was indeed not the agent of the hermit, but the hermit himself.

"I've heard that the Federation sent agents to cleanse your memory. But they don't know that you're a reader. Ordinary memory potions can't cleanse your memories at all. You recognize me at a glance and that's proof. Of course, that's a good thing for you. You've finally embarked on the path of evolution and become a supernatural being. If the memory is cleansed and returned to the ordinary, it will inevitably be as mediocre as everyone else. ”
