Chapter 010: Todd the Barber
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Luden's mood was extremely complicated.
This style of painting is not quite right!
The entry you chose, is it [Human Stars Shining] or [Crowd Stars Shining]?
He hasn't seen a single human star, and one of the humanoids has already jumped out!
This entry is fake!
Ludon spent 100 million Nebula Coins on the simulation, and ended up giving him a fake entry?
After carefully reading the newspaper report, Luton looked at the date of the newspaper and was stunned for a moment,
"This is the newspaper from four days ago?"
"That's right, Dean."
Wren happened to go downstairs at this time, noticed the news that Luden was looking at, and said casually,
"We can't afford to subscribe to the newspapers of the day, which were donated by a decent old gentleman, and as for the murderer, if I remember correctly, he has already been arrested."
Ludon was stunned again, was arrested?
Jack the Ripper, he won't be caught so easily.
Did you have a preconceived idea and make a wrong judgment, or did the security team catch the wrong person?
Luton set the newspaper aside, seemingly unconcerned, and chatted casually with Wren.
From Wren's mouth, Ludon learned that the "Jack the Ripper" was arrested during the crime, and the Divine Nation, because he was a fellow countryman, Wren heard the news from others.
“... Where does this guy live? It seems to be the Santa Fe neighborhood... The boys are down, Mr. Luden, and let's change the subject. ”
Jack the Ripper, from the Santa Fe neighborhood, was caught...
This is not good news for Luden.
If you give the vigilantes an excuse, the other party will extort a sum of money, and the final pressure will be transferred to the underground godfather Luden.
The Santa Fe neighborhood is a mess.
Instead of thinking about it, Luton waited for breakfast.
Soon, the food, which was simple but generously enough, was served to Sister Fessie.
Not only did Luton pay off the 5 pounds, but he also spent 5 pounds on enough food and told Sister Fercy that it was a week's worth of food.
The children, who had just woken up, were still a little sleepy and listless.
When they saw the food on the table, their eyes glowed green, like hungry wolves.
After a simple prayer, each person was given a full plate of food, and many of the children were piled up in front of them.
While the children were eating, Ludon also learned about the orphanage by chatting with Wren.
"Oliver Orphanage is close to bankruptcy because of operational difficulties, and it has been deemed impossible to continue by the fog."
Wren patiently explained,
"We don't have the right to adopt new orphans, but we have to raise these children, or send them to other orphanages... Believe me, their situation there is not much better than ours. ”
For the new dean, Wren had a good impression.
The other party took the initiative to pay to fill the deficit and let the children have enough to eat, which is already too much better from this point of view.
As for what kind of person is the new dean?
Look again.
Ludon nodded, signaling that he understood.
The orphanage, in this day and age, is undoubtedly a dark corner where the sun is difficult to shine into.
These children, who have been abandoned once, can grow up in the orphanage.
Engaging in something legal is already the most ideal outcome.
The orphanage will not admit new orphans, and Ludon will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the existing members, achieving the perfect ending of the blessing simulation.
"Rite of passage?"
Wren looked at the end of the table, where a skinny little girl was trying to keep her lady eating.
"In six months, Bailey will have her coming-of-age ceremony, and she wants to be an actress."
Ludon nodded,
"Then we need to find her an etiquette teacher and a dance teacher as soon as possible."
Wren smiled and shook his head, only taking the dean as a joke and not taking it to heart.
After breakfast, the orphanage was functioning normally, and Ludon made an excuse to go back upstairs to rest.
It took him eight hours of sleep to clear the tiredness of last night.
Before dinner, Ludon washed up, dressed himself and went out, and told Sister Faisy not to prepare dinner for him, but to remember to leave him the door, he would not spend the night outside tonight.
As before, Sister Faisy reverently said,
"May the Holy Father bless you, Dean!"
After going out, Ludon wasted no time and went straight to the Strange Bird Bookstore.
When the old man saw Ludon again, every wrinkle was full of helplessness.
He knew very well that the Inquisition would not escape the demon in front of him.
For Mr. Ludon, he never cared who he was working with, as long as he could be useful to Luden.
Before being assassinated by the Senate, Luton had been the Senate's best partner, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.
The old man sighed,
"What are you going to do, Mr. Luden?"
Luden's thinking is clear,
"I need money, and with my knowledge of this era, I can't do anything without money."
The expenses of the orphanage, the maintenance of the Santa Fe neighborhood, down to the doorman at the door of the tavern, up to the inspector of the security team...
There are too many places to use money, and Lutdon has too little money in his hands.
He can use the [Outlaw Maniac] to earn some pocket money to cover daily expenses and emergencies, and that's it.
If you want to send blessings to more people, you can't do without money.
The old man smiled bitterly and looked at Luden even more helplessly.
In this world, anyone can be short of money, but the man in front of him will not.
Ludon had a hundred, a thousand ways to make money, but he would never reach out to the Inquisition for money.
He could not say:
"I, Luden, hit the money!"
The old man said slowly,
"I'm afraid it's hard to help you, and you probably won't need our help."
He wanted to know what Mr. Ludon really meant.
Ludon said with some embarrassment,
"Ahem, mainly, you have free newspapers and books here, oh, and free tea and snacks."
Old man:......
After a few seconds of silence, he shook the brass bell on the table and summoned a young man,
"Serve tea to the gentleman... And dim sum. ”
Lu Deng hurriedly sighed,
"You're so polite."
The old man didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he said stubbornly,
"That's what we're supposed to do."
Drinking tea, eating snacks, and reading the newspaper.
Ludon felt that he was living like a lord of the fog capital.
Half an hour later, Lutten put the newspaper down.
The sleepy old man across from him opened his eyelids and looked at Ludon quietly.
The old man knew that Mr. Lutden had come neither for money, nor for newspapers and refreshments.
Luden pointed to a name in the newspaper and said seriously,
"I want to see him."
The old man picked up his glasses and struggled to read the name:
Jack the Ripper.
"We don't have any information about him."
The old man said truthfully,
"He's just a murderer, even if he's a little more famous, he's just a murderer. We can't know everything. ”
Something like the killing of the godfather is a big deal in the eyes of the people of God.
Even the godfather's food, clothing, housing, and daily life will be watched by a special person, so a lot of secrets can be recorded.
A killer who picks on prostitutes?
The grade is a little too low.
There are a lot of scum in this world, and in this era, killing a few people is not big news.
"I understand."
Ludon nodded and continued,
"So, I'm going to see him and, if I can, talk to him."
Listening to Mr. Luden's request, the old man was not silent for too long, and quickly nodded in agreement,
"I'll arrange it for you."
...
Fifteen minutes later, Ludon appeared in the vigilantes' dungeon and was violently pushed into his cell by two vigilante members.
"Be honest! A guy who steals even newspapers! ”
"Can't you guys from the Divine State stop?"
“.......”
The team members cursed and left, the sound of footsteps echoing through the cell.
The Inquisition is now more efficient than ever.
The old man called a familiar detective and, without any evidence, falsely accused Luton of stealing the newspaper, and the inspector threw Luton into the cell.
All the other cells were full, except this one.
Because, here is locked up Jack the Ripper.
The dim light of the fire flickered, and Ludon could smell the smell of rotting rats in the air.
In a dark corner, there was the sound of chains moving, which soon died down.
A hoarse voice came, and he asked weakly,
"Are you a journalist, or a lawyer, or a relative of a prostitute? Or is it the Inspector's men? ”
Obviously, these days of arrest, the suspect is not having an easy time.
The case of Jack the Ripper, which is worthless in the eyes of the Inquisition, has caused a sensation and attention in the fog.
A reporter with a keen sense of smell runs as fast as a shark smells of blood.
"Neither."
Lu Deng did not use Wudu or Shenbang, but first used Gu Qiyun and asked,
"You're from the Santa Fe neighborhood?"
The moment he heard Gu Qiyun's words, the iron links collided together, and the person in the corner sat up and asked in surprise,
"You're a god?"
Before coming, Ludon had read the other party's information and knew his details.
Todd Buck, a barber, the Buck family is considered an aristocratic class in the state of God, and has been trained by nobles since childhood, and Qiyun is an indispensable part of education.
Todd and his girlfriend fell in love, but were stopped by their own family, and in order to live an ideal life with their girlfriend, they eloped to the fog capital.
Not long after coming to the fog, his girlfriend passed away due to illness.
Todd was reluctant to return to his hometown, but fortunately he had a good craft of barbering and shaving, so that he would not end up on the streets.
The two sides communicate in Qiyun, and even if the wall has ears, it is difficult to understand what they are saying.
"That's right."
Luden nodded, raised his hands, signaled that he had no ill intentions, took a step forward, and said in a low voice,
"I'm here on behalf of the Godfather."
Todd said vigilantly,
"The Godfather is dead."
Before he was arrested, the godfather of the Santa Fe neighborhood died, and every god in the Santa Fe neighborhood knew about it, and Todd was no exception.
Ludon explains,
"The new godfather, Brando."
Brando?
Todd tried to search for the name in his mind, but found nothing.
"The Godfather... I haven't heard of any new godfathers. ”
Todd was still vigilant, but his tone had softened,
"Listen, I won't say anything, I won't admit anything, the godfather can rest assured, I won't break the rules of the gods..."
As he spoke, Todd's voice grew weaker.
He knew that he was probably going to die and suffer this injustice.
But, for some reason, Todd didn't want to defend himself.
In the same way, he had no desire to talk to the godfather.
Let him die quietly, like a cockroach in the corner.
In the face of Todd's weakness, Ludon hardened, and he said indifferently,
"You betrayed your family, and they did not recognize you as a god."
Hearing this, Todd turned his head away, not wanting to talk nonsense with the messenger anymore.
Ludon snorted coldly and continued,
"The godfather needs to know if you have really committed the unpardonable sin, and if so, he must personally go to your girlfriend's grave and tell her all this, tell her that she is in love with an impure soul."
"He dares!"
The sound of chains clashing was a little messy, like Todd's heart.
Todd protested loudly,
"He can't do that! She's my wife! ”
Ludon looked at the other party with a cold gaze and didn't say a word.
They were all Godborns, and they knew very well that the Church Father could do that.
Or even say... The Godfather should do that.
The godfather of the state of God is himself an evolution of a priest and concurrently serves as a priest.
Talking to the spirits of the deceased is also one of the duties.
It was just a few words, and Todd was pinched hard.
He can accept that he has been wronged, and he can even accept that he is on the gallows.
However, Todd could not accept that he was humiliated in front of his lover and bear this infamy!
"I was wronged!"
Todd stood up and took two steps forward, the chains restricting his movements, preventing him from moving on.
Ludon finally took a step forward and shot back forcefully,
"Everyone says they are wronged, but what about the evidence?"
He and Todd came face to face, and could smell the sour smell of each other, a musty smell that almost made Ludon have asthma.
Todd's eyes were red, and he stared at Ludon like a devouring beast.
If there is no chain, he will rush up as soon as possible and tear the guy in front of him who threatens him to pieces!
After coercion, there is inducement.
The trick of the turnip stick, Ludon will not get tired of playing for many years.
Luden's voice softened a little and said softly,
"If you are willing to cooperate with the godfather's work, after you are released from prison, the godfather is willing to hold a wedding for you and your lover."
Todd fell silent.
She had always wanted a decent wedding, the kind with the godfather.
However, no godfather wants to offend the Buck family, and many people sympathize with them but will not lend a hand.
Even if she is dead, in the faith of the Divine People, it is still possible to have a wedding, and their souls are still legally married in heaven, blessed by the Divine...
Seeing that the other party was excited, Ludon struck while the iron was hot and pursued the victory,
"I need proof, proof to convince the godfather that you are not the murderer!"
Do you want proof...
Todd has a perfect proof of this.
Todd was close to Luden's ear, keeping his voice as low as possible so that he would not scream, and said word by word,
"Every time I kill someone, I burn the body!"
