Chapter 31: Amber? Gotham!
In the evening.
Passers-by on the streets are in a hurry, and they all seem to be busy. Chen Lun walked among them with his pockets in his pockets, looking a little out of place.
He was going to go out and buy something and walk around. Familiarize yourself with your surroundings and see if you can get some useful information.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the gloomy young man he bumped into in the corridor when he went out.
At that time, after the other party saw Chen Lun, he didn't seem to care about his new neighbor.
Silent passed by, and went straight into his own room.
The sound of the door closing was a little loud, and it seemed that he was a little irritable.
In that brief glance, Chen Lun saw the anxiety and fear on his face, showing a worried look.
But Chen Lun was not curious about him, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Just passing by the flower shop, I casually asked Mrs. Caroline.
Mrs. Caroline informed the young man that his name was Kent, and that he appeared to be a middle-class boy who had come to Amber City to study.
"Sorry sir, borrowed it."
A man's voice came.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a group of people wearing short blue cloaks.
He turned sideways and stepped out of the way.
One of them was seen holding a long pole with a burning tip, and the other tacitly picked the lid on the lamp so that his companion could light the wick inside.
As the street lights lit up, they moved on to the next one.
"It turned out to be a group of lamp holders......
Only then did Chen Lun realize that the sky had already darkened.
Unknowingly, I wandered around the neighborhood for more than half an hour and found nothing.
On the contrary, the image of the slipper, who had been looking around all the way, seemed to have attracted the attention of the patrol guards.
Fortunately, seeing that he didn't look like a gangster in his outfit, coupled with his appearance, dispelled their vigilance.
However, this also reminded Chen Lun that he still had to get a formal identity for himself and Floy as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a trouble to find out.
Just as he was about to go back the way he came, and go to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, he suddenly frowned slightly.
Chen Lun silently took a step back.
When I passed through an alley, I suddenly turned around and walked in.
After a short time, four young men wearing fur hats and coarse linen tunics rushed to the mouth of the alley.
"Got in from here."
"You can't find us, right? He wants to run? ”
"It's okay, it's a dead end, he can't run away, chase it!"
A few young men exchanged a few words and rushed in.
By this time, it was completely dark, and there were no fingers in the cramped alley.
The four men rushed in and almost tripped over a trash can, and after swearing, they had to slow down.
"Damn, where did that kid go?"
"How can he see so dark......
Boom!
There was a muffled thud, followed by the sound of a man falling to the ground.
"What's the sound!?"
"Did you hear that?"
Boom!
Again, a voice similar to the one from the previous one sounded.
The remaining two only felt creepy.
"Hey guys, shall we go out first?"
"Mike, I just felt ...... around me"
Boom!!
The man was halfway through his sentence and then there was no further speech.
The last remaining Mike shuddered back.
"Pol, Boum, Areno...... Are you still there?
Hey! Answer me quickly! Stop playing, damn it! ”
Suddenly, he saw a pair of emerald green vertical pupils light up in the darkness in front of him.
He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and the urban legends he had heard flashed through his mind, and he only felt a tremor all over his body, and his heart stopped.
The next second, he heard a low, cold voice from the darkness:
"Answer me, who are you? Why are you tracking me? ”
As soon as Mike wanted to open his mouth, a faint blue glimmer flickered in his sight, and then he involuntarily said the truth in a daze.
"My name is Mike, and they are my companions......"
Five minutes later.
Chen Lun walked out of the small alley casually and walked towards No. 7 Denton Street, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Through hypnosis just now, he already knew the information of that group of guys.
In fact, he was just four low-level gangsters, seeing that he was alone, and he was dressed like a rich man, so he was ready to extort money.
It's as simple as that, no conspiracy, and no behind-the-scenes tricks. Originally, he thought that some big fish had thrown himself into the net, but it turned out to make him happy in vain.
But he didn't kill them either.
After all, it's a newcomer, and you can't make too much noise because of this little thing.
The guy he hypnotized woke up and remembered nothing.
"When I go back, I'll have to remind Floy that the security around here is too bad."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Although there are patrolling guards here, the work attitude is definitely not a tenth of that of the inner city.
When he walked to a block from the flower shop, he suddenly heard a faint scream.
Through the light of the street lamp not far away, Chen Lun saw a beaten figure in the corner.
"Are you sure it's not Gotham City?"
A thought crossed his mind.
Why did I come out for a casual stroll today, and I encountered this kind of thing twice.
“…… Remember, boy, if you don't pay it tomorrow, you'll have your body in the sewer at the sewer. ”
"Ahem, ahem...... Don't fight, I'll pay it back tomorrow! ”
As Chen Lun got closer, he suddenly found that the guy who was beaten was a little familiar.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be the neighbor I met when I went out, a young man named Kent.
He looked a little miserable now, kneeling on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, pleading with two men in leather jackets and leggings in front of him.
"Heh, we actually know you don't have any money......
Why don't you do that, we'll give you an idea.
As long as you introduce the girl who lives in the same building as you to the Flower and Bird Tavern, the money will not have to be paid back for the time being, how about it? ”
The man said sadly.
"Connie, you say? Cough...... I don't know her well. ”
"Unfamiliar? You're a liar! ”
With that, the two punched and kicked Kent again.
It wasn't until Kent screamed hoarse and pleaded that the two stopped.
"I ...... I did be a classmate with her before, but I dropped out after only two months of classes. ”
Kent gasped and said with difficulty.
Seeing that the two men were about to raise their hands to hit him again, Kent hurriedly said:
"But I know where she works, and I know the boss there.
I can get her to lose her job first, and then ...... Then force her to go to your territory! ”
After saying that, Kent seemed to be relieved, and let out a long breath and rested against the wall.
"Very good, then we'll wait for your news, be careful not to delay it for too long, otherwise you'll be good-looking!"
The two men threatened and turned to leave.
Chen Lun also seemed to hear something, and originally planned to ignore it and go straight back. But in the spirit of the neighbors, he stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Hey, do you need help?"
Chen Lun said in a gentle tone as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Kent glared at him fiercely, lowered his head gloomily, and muttered something in his mouth.
Chen Lun shrugged silently, it seemed that he didn't need it.
At this time, there was a burst of footsteps on the side of the street, and Chen Lun looked along and saw a young girl passing by, just looking this way.
She had a small and attractive face, but at this time, she glanced at Chen Lun with a look of disgust, and then walked away quickly.
“??”
Chen Lun looked confused.
Why do you look at me like that?
He turned his head to look at the pig-headed Kent, and suddenly understood something.
I'm not going to be seen as a gangster who blackmails people, right?
The clown is actually myself!?
