Chapter 176. In the third act, cold-blooded and ruthless
"Aren't you very good at this kind of thing?"
Mingyuexin's rebuttal made Zhou Jinru almost so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head, and asked Shi Huaiya to help him, but he didn't know if he could do it, or should he touch it himself?
Mingyue's heart jumped slightly, and the two-headed villain stood on Zhou Jinru's shoulders, with his hands on his waist: "Doctor, don't forget that the Western Region is now under the control of the nobles, and if you swagger past, they will definitely arrest you." ”
"How can you be swaggering, I will do some disguise, don't underestimate me."
Zhou Jinru found his original newsboy hat, coupled with his unshaven beard, which was similar to him in the previous formal leather boots, even if Shivaish Ash stood in front of him, he might not be able to recognize it.
"But this is even worse, any stranger who enters the Western Region will be strictly interrogated, and the doctor, as a civilian, will definitely be broken, you don't look like a civilian at all."
There is no way to do this, he can do the disguise of appearance, but there is no way to do it about his own temperament, after all, he is not a professional intelligence officer.
For his goal, he finally had to go to Shi Huaiya, anyway, he was asking for his own operator, and he was not ashamed.
"Aha, Zhou, the purpose of your begging me is to enter the quiet church of the Western Region, but do you know that place is not for ordinary people to go now?"
After Shi Huaiya bathed, she was wearing pajamas, her neckline was wide open, and she didn't know it, and a white light pierced Zhou Jinru so much that she couldn't open her eyes.
He opened his mouth and said, "Miss Shi, you should get dressed first. ”
"What?"
Shi Huaiya was taken aback, looked down and saw her appearance, and couldn't help but turn red and white, red because she made a fool of herself in front of a strange man, and white because she was so careless, thinking that she didn't have to be particularly careful in her own home, and it turned out to be like this.
She suddenly raised her voice: "You, what do you see?!" ”
Zhou Jinru wanted to shake his head and nod again, and finally had to say: "There was a burst of white light just now, and my eyes are almost blind." ”
Shi Huaiya: "......"
She took a few sharp breaths, forced herself to calm down, and said in a calm tone: "You must not have seen anything, I hope so, if I hear any bad rumors, even Shivaish Ash will not be able to save you, the Saiga River can scoop up corpses every day!" ”
This is a very direct threat, it seems that Shi Huaiya is serious, of course Zhou Jinru will not touch her moldy head, after answering, he directly diverted the topic: "Miss Shi, have you decided to help me?" ”
"Why should I help you?"
Shi Huaiya crossed her legs, her toes hooked slippers dangled in the air, her beautiful instep looked particularly white and tender in the light, her right hand supported her cheek, with a faint smile on her face, as if the eldest lady with a cold tone just now did not exist.
She looked at the ochre-red nail polish on her left hand, and said indifferently: "We just met today, and I'm going to help you do something that takes a lot of risk, don't you think it's too sudden?" Even if you are the manservant of the Shivaash family, even if you are Chen's old friend, I must help you? ”
"Thank you, Miss Shi, your dinner is delicious, I have made a note of this favor, goodbye."
With a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Jinru bowed slightly, made an impeccable Victorian gentleman's etiquette, and then turned to leave.
When he took the third step, Miss Film's voice came from behind him: "I have changed my mind. ”
Smack.
When Zhou Jinru turned around, Shi Huaiya's slippers hooked on her toes suddenly fell, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "My shoes have fallen, if you can help me put them on, I will agree to your request, as a manservant, you should be no stranger to these things, right?" ”
Facing the eldest lady who was staring at him, Zhou Jinru bowed again, didn't say a word, turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.
"It's all up to this, and you're still so stubborn?"
With her toes on her slippers, the eldest lady made a standard dance move, with a rare puzzled look:
"What's so good about him that can make Chen's fight on the street so desperate?"
……
……
When he walked out of Shi Huaiya's house, Zhou Jinru stood in a fog, inhaling humid air in his nose, he sighed silently, and sure enough, in the melodrama, everyone didn't know him.
It's just Shi Huaiya's facial expressions and actions, as well as the requirements later, does she think so from the bottom of her heart, or does she subconsciously want to take revenge for the previous cold?
The vase lady is actually the strongest dragon king?
"I'm on my own now."
Zhou Jinru still changed into the shabby overalls he wore when he came here, put on his newsboy hat, and left Shi Huaiya's manor all the way, without informing Yelena or letting Chen know.
The cold is the hardest at night in the Eastern Region, and every day people find wanderers who were barely able to support themselves the day before frozen to death in the corners, and the little food that the Foundation can provide is useless for people in distress, at most they can live for a few more hours, and wanderers who have no shelter from the cold will still die in the cold night.
"Doctor, now the housing environment of the entire Eastern Region is saturated, and the root cause of everything is that no one cares about the common people in the process of the country's continuous expansion, and the population may bring a strong development rate, but if the foundation is not solid, it will leave hidden dangers, coupled with the power of capital constantly pushing the whole country forward, the aristocracy, as vested interests, neither wants to change anything, nor does it really want to improve the lives of the common people."
Zhou Jinru kept listening, and finally said: "They never want to look down." ”
At night, there are basically no people in the Eastern Region, and under the light fog, no one wants to move in a humid environment.
Zhou Jinru, who was deep in the mist, did not feel any discomfort, his movements were light, like a fish returning to the water, just like his identity, the mist hunter is also a deep-sea hunter.
"If I'm going to blend in with the Western Region now, what chance do I have?"
Ming Yuexin didn't immediately return to Zhou Jinru's words, and he didn't rush to urge, but found a way to get into a first-floor residence where he forgot to close the window, and then casually pulled down the support frame of the window.
By the faint light of the street lamp outside the window, in this room, which is only 30 square meters, there were seven or eight people asleep, they slept on a wooden board covered with a thin layer of mattresses, and there was some straw underneath, no one was awake, only one person made a hazy sleeping voice: "This place is full, go elsewhere, otherwise tomorrow the landlord will curse." ”
"I only rest for a few hours and leave before dawn."
No one answered Zhou Jinru's words, and the exhausted people had already fallen into a deep sleep, even in the cold, they had to seize every minute of time to recover their strength.
"Doctors, people who are struggling on the brink of survival are like this, working more than twelve hours a day, supporting themselves with a shallow salary, day after day, with no chance of escape."
Zhou Jinru sat down in the corner, he lowered his head slightly, he had seen a worker whose life had been destroyed because of that fire in a slum area that was more difficult than the Eastern Region, those eyes, he could not forget.
"At least I see some hope in two hundred years."
He could only comfort himself with such words.
Ming Yuexin said again: "Victoria in reality has gotten a lot better, and has gradually become the center of the world, both soft power and hard power have grown greatly, although there are still strikes, and miserable civilians, but everything has changed, at least the surface layer has changed very well." ”
"Just on the surface?"
"Have you forgotten Miss Melanza?"
Zhou Jinru fell silent again, Melansha was just an ordinary person who was affected, and her life was destroyed in a strike, only because someone threw a source stone at her.
"In fact, I know that the reality of Victoria is just packaged by the illusion of prosperity, they have transferred most of the industrial industries, an incomparably powerful main city of Lentinium, with countless satellite cities around it as support, and low-level industries are handed over to other countries, such as Rem Billiton, Victorians will always have a bright future."
"The doctor knows it all."
Zhou Jinru smiled: "All of us know, we all know that this country is weakening because of the accumulated shortcomings over the years, so that those who are waiting for the opportunity can see the light, and they are starting to move, such as the regent, such as Shenchi, and then ......"
He didn't go on.
"What's out there?"
"It's just fog."
A faint mist seeped in along the gap in the window, Zhou Jinru leaned against the wall with his back, the window was above his head, and he smelled the smell in his nose and didn't know when it had a hint of rust.
"I think I've seen this smell somewhere."
He closed his eyes and didn't move, and his palm that was clinging to the wall suddenly felt a tremble, as if something was passing by, from far to near, but the hint given by Mingyuexin was that there was nothing outside, only fog.
"Hidden in the mist?"
Zhou Jinru is a fog hunter, he will unconsciously think about this aspect, but the instinct of his body is to let him sit still and not move.
Soon, the tremor was gone, and the strange presence in the fog was gone.
"Judging by the direction, it's heading towards the Western Region?"
"If the Doctor thinks there really is a monster out there, then the Doctor's judgment is correct."
"There's only so much I can do, and now I don't have any weapons other than a revolver, my weapons are all thrown at Adella, and I don't know where she is now."
He had been sitting there, I don't know how much time had passed, the dark sky had a glimmer of light, and it was still getting brighter, and the civilians sleeping in this room of less than thirty square meters woke up one after another.
"Who are you?"
One of them stared at Zhou Jinru, who was still sitting by the wall, a person they didn't know and who had spent the night here.
He subconsciously reached out to touch the savings hidden under him, and his fingers accidentally touched a gray-haired tenant sleeping next to him, and his hard body startled him.
"He's dead."
Zhou Jinru observed for a long time that the old tenant had been dead for a long time, and should have died before he came.
The tenant who pointed out that Zhou Jinru was an outsider looked dazed: "I don't know, Old John was fine yesterday, he said that he made an exception and drank an extra glass of wine......"
Zhou Jinru said again: "He is dead, you should notify the police station to come and check the situation, determine whether he died of natural causes, and then use this reason to ask the landlord to reduce the rent." ”
"You're right, maybe that's the case."
Some people reacted that the old John in their mouth was already a corpse, and all they could do was to use this opportunity to lighten their burden.
"Thank you, sir, for your advice, sir?"
They looked at the corner of the wall again, and where was Zhou Jinru's figure.
Walking on the street, the soles of his shoes stepped on the damp masonry road, this road is the only road in the Eastern Region that is not so easy to get his shoes wet, Zhou Jinru is not in the mood at all, he just walks with his head down and does not say a word.
"Doctor?"
"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded and ruthless?"
Mingyuexin said, "No." ”
Zhou Jinru laughed at himself: "Obviously someone is dead, I am still using his death to make profits, for those tenants, I am a cold-blooded and ruthless person." ”
"No, in Mingyue's heart, the doctor will always be a person who is worth everything."
"Really?"
"Really."
Zhou Jinru calmed down, he had no better way to face the death he had just made, and he could only try to create as many favorable conditions as possible within the rules that could be used.
Those tenants will use the house to force the landlord to reduce the rent because of the dead man, although the space in Lentinium is in high demand, and the rent for a dead man's room will certainly not be too high.
In the end, both sides compromised and reached a compromise solution, and everyone was happy.
This is what they call the benefits that old John can create after he dies.
"Doctor, there are some things we can't change, and there's only so much we can do."
"I know, don't comfort me."
Zhou Jinru responded, when he was in Rhode Island, not all the patients admitted to the hospital could survive to stabilize their condition, and some patients with acute attacks did not survive even under Kelsey's all-out treatment plan, even with Zhou Jinru's reason to suppress the source stone activity, their heartbeats would stop beating because of excessive consumption of life.
They've been through this kind of thing many times.
He continued to walk forward, and when he walked through an alley, he suddenly noticed that someone was following him, and it seemed that he had been following him for some distance.
Zhou Jinru's feet slipped, and the whole person fell into the shadows and disappeared from the sight of the tracker.
Soon, a figure walked quickly, and when he walked through the alley, he saw a shadow falling rapidly overhead, and Zhou Jinru, who had fallen from the second floor, pressed his knees against the shoulders of the tracker.
"It's me!"
I only heard a low cry, and the figure had been pressed to the ground by Zhou Jinru, with his hands on the back of his neck, which could be wrung off with a slight force.
The hat on his head rolled off, and he poured out a beautiful blonde hair, and a pair of satin-like pointed ears stood up.
Zhou Jinru was also taken aback, and hurriedly let go of her body and pulled her up: "Why are you?" ”
