Chapter VI Slums
Dark clouds obscured the sun and prevented it from shining in the slums. Compared to the slums outside, there seemed to be some darkness, and the ground was full of filth and filth.
The dilapidated slums and narrow streets could not accommodate the soul car, and Catherine had to get out of the car and walk.
"This place is really dirty, I don't understand why you like to come to this place. Looking at the ground, dirty, not even a place to stay, Catherine's brow furrowed unconsciously.
"Only this kind of place is full of despair and hopelessness. Facing the scene in front of him, Li Ming did not feel the slightest discomfort.
"Despair, hope, these poor people have no value at all, they are not the same world as you at all, if you want subordinates who can do things for you, I can find you a few from the family, much better than these poor people. Catherine was a little puzzled when she heard Li Ming's words, and didn't understand what he was going to do.
"Miss, please follow our advice on the road ahead, and don't leave our protection, this place is dangerous and prone to accidents. The captain of the guard, who was guarding Catherine, stopped Catherine, who was about to enter the slum, and said with a solemn expression.
"Accident, what's the accident, it's just a group of poor people who don't even have a soul master, what danger can it cause to me, a soul master of the soul master realm. Catherine didn't care about the Captain of the Guard's words, and she didn't care about the poor people whose soul power had reached the rank of soldier at most.
People in this world are born with soul power, and they are divided into soul people, soul soldiers, soul soldiers, soul masters, and soul sects under psychic.
The soul people are the soul power that most people in this world have, and their own soul power is basically innate, and they are not cultivating the day after tomorrow, exercising their soul power, and only relying on the natural growth of soul power, so the soul power increases very little.
Soul soldier means that after simple cultivation, you can often exercise your soul power and body. The soul power has surpassed that of most civilians, and he can be used as a soldier of the Empire.
Most of the soul warriors are nobles, or rich people, the elite of society. Not to mention the resources required by the soul warrior, if you want to become the first soul warrior, you must need a book of exercises, in this hierarchical society, it is impossible for an ordinary person to obtain even the most inferior book of exercises for a long time. Most of the time, it is some talented and talented commoners who want to get ahead of themselves to which wealthy families they sell themselves in order to obtain the exercises they need.
The biggest characteristic of a soul master is that he can release his soul power outside the body, forming various changes. Fighting against people is no longer limited to hand-to-hand combat.
The Soul Sect can be said to be the limit that mortals can reach, and the total amount of soul power and the control of soul power have reached the peak. It is already possible to start preparing for channeling.
As for the psychic, it is no longer accessible to mortals, they are the true rulers of this world.
Catherine looked down on the people in the slums, and in this place where there were not even soul warriors, Catherine did not believe that anything could threaten her.
"If it were just the paupers, of course, it wouldn't be a threat to the young lady, but this slum has always been a hiding place for criminals. There are also groups that teach slum children to be killers, and when you look at a child begging pitifully, he doesn't know that he has a dagger in his hand. An old man who looks weak may have been a murderer who kills people without blinking an eye, with strange mortal killing methods. The captain of the guard naturally knew what his young lady was thinking, but he had to say these words.
Although he didn't believe that there would be anything in the slums that could threaten Catherine, even if there were criminals, they wouldn't have time to hide, how could they attack this team of people who seemed to be strong. And which slum organizations, it is even more impossible to make a move on Catherine, otherwise they will disappear the next day, as an underground force that can survive in the imperial capital, there must be a nobleman behind as a backer, no matter which nobleman will not offend Catherine's family for an underground force, but he will not say these words to Catherine, otherwise how to reflect his role as a guard. He will only speak out about the dangerous aspects.
Catherine pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement.
The chief of the guard, with his master's permission, called his men, sent two to the front to explore the way, and two more to the rear, and the rest to protect Catherine with himself. And they went into the slums.
"What is your purpose, the place has arrived, you can tell me, and no matter what your purpose is, you have to go through me to achieve it, I have to know sooner or later" Catherine slowly walked into the slum, and asked Li Ming in the sea of souls.
Li Ming thought for a while and knew that in the end, Catherine would indeed not be spared, and there was not much difference between saying it early and saying it later.
"I'm looking for someone here?"
"Who?"
"A spokesperson, a man who has despaired but still believes in hope"
"Despair, but also believe in hope, what are you going to do, if you want to use people, as long as you are psychic, I can find you anything. Catherine frowned, and after thinking about it, she still didn't understand what Li Ming meant.
Li Ming didn't seem to have the slightest explanation, just said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”
As Catherine and the others went deeper, some lying homeless people kept appearing next to the street.
They were dressed in tattered clothes that could not cover their whole bodies, and when they saw Catherine and the others coming, they all looked in awe, and they curled up and leaned towards the corner, trying not to attract attention.
"I saw only despair, not hope. Catherine looked at the wanderers who feared her, and saw no hope, only numbness.
"Don't rush, take your time. Li Ming didn't care about this, he hoped that this person was as desperate as possible, which would be very helpful to carry out his plan.
Gradually, something called a house appeared, a pile of tattered straw, staggering as if it were going to fall down at any moment, and some of the old and the young, the sick and the sick lived. Thin, dark, and dressed in patched clothes, they emit a foul stench that looks like they've never taken a shower in their lives. In Catherine's opinion, these people can't be called human beings at all, they are simply some living corpses.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front, and a group of people ran over with a person, and the person running in front was a young man in his twenties. A group of people behind him were chasing him with sticks, shouting and scolding, and the young man's eyes lit up when he saw Catherine and the others, and he immediately sped up and ran to Catherine and the others, and the chief of the guard immediately stretched out his hand to stop him. Stop him in his tracks.
"Let me pass, let me pass. I can help you. The man was stopped and wanted to spare the chief of the guard, but he was beaten to the ground by the chief of the guard, and the man didn't care about the pain, and looked back at the group of people chasing him closely, and shouted loudly.
