Chapter 55: The Kowloon Walled City
Hai Sheng was dragged to the Kowloon Walled City by two friends, and Di Long called his friends to call the two of them, forming a five-person team to swagger into the walled city.
This is worthy of being a city of sin, and the tenants are either fierce or cold-eyed, and you can often see the scene of punching, kicking, or chasing and slashing with knives.
Jiang Dawei and the others were calm, and when they shuttled through the alleys, they told Haisheng to be happy, and there would be basically no problems with outsiders here. Fighting, killing and killing are all internal, as long as you are not a land-sitting household living here, you are safe and worry-free.
The actual controller of the Kowloon Walled City will not let the guests be harmed, and there will be no fault finding faults, and there will be absolutely safe entry and exit. Whoever dares to move outsiders is against the person in charge of the walled city, and it is light for the perpetrator to be driven out of the walled city, and evaporation is the routine operation. After all, in this place where chickens and horns are mixed, if the safety of outsiders is not guaranteed, who will come here to consume?
Of course, the Kowloon Walled City welcomes all guests, except for the "strips", that is, the police. It was to see one cut the other, and the plainclothes police did not dare to enter it. There is no police to maintain order, and it is all up to the people in charge of the walled city.
It is not headed by one person, but by a seven-member management committee. As for which seven? People outside are just hearsay, even if they live in the Kowloon Walled City, they may not know the true identity of the seven big guys. is all managed by the younger brother below, and ordinary people can't get in touch with the top boss at all.
Jiang Dawei They don't know your specific information, and of course they don't care about it. Anyway, those who come to consume and play are not here to worship the mountain gate, so it doesn't matter who he says!
The group walked around for a long time in the small alleys of the Kowloon Walled City, as if they were going around in circles.
Hai Sheng was puzzled, and blurted out the incomprehension in his heart: "Brother Jiang, are you on the wrong path?" It's going around and around, and you're lost, right? ”
Jiang Dawei replied with a smile: "Hehe, no! We are all regular customers, we are very familiar with this road, we have been here many times, and we can't go wrong. In order to prevent large-scale siege by the police and enemies, the Kowloon Walled City built the outer area into alleys, and the uneven terrain was intricate. Even if you know the road, it will be more difficult to attack the walled city on a large scale. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Haisheng suddenly.
After about half an hour of walking, the alley ended, and the road surface became wider and smoother. A dazzling array of shops appeared on both sides, with shining lights and crowds. If I didn't tell you, this is the Kowloon Walled City, I would think that I was in a bustling neighborhood somewhere in Xiangjiang.
The shops in the Kowloon Walled City are very peculiar, with brothels, gambling stalls, and pawn shops in the majority. Pornography, gambling and drugs are rampant here, and the prices are outrageously cheap, and the regular price of the goods is much cheaper than the outside!
The second-hand market is also very active, and there are countless rare treasures of antique calligraphy and paintings, but there are also many fakes and few real ones, and whether you can buy the real thing depends entirely on your personal eyesight. Jiang Dawei and his entourage hurried by, not stopping at the stall shop. I don't have eyesight, and it's useless to see it.
Hurriedly left, of course, not for the hot pot, but straight to the center of the walled city to watch the beating. The Ring Tower can be said to be the landmark building of the Kowloon Walled City, with nine floors above and three floors at the bottom.
The ground is white, called the White Tower, in addition to the people of the walled city to fight in the ring, outsiders can also go to the stage to compete. If you win, you will be rewarded, and you can automatically admit defeat without worrying about your life. The rewards are different for each tier, and the levels are gradually increasing.
The underground building, in the style of black, is also known as the Black Tower. It is the existence of black boxing, there are no rules, and it is very dangerous to play life and death. But there are many participants, and the most important thing in the Kowloon Walled City is the outlaws, and playing black boxing is not only dangerous, but also highly profitable. If you win, you can eat, drink and be merry for a while, and if you lose, of course, everything will be over.
Jiang Dawei and his entourage watched the competition on the second floor of the upper floor, and the attendance rate of the hall with 200 seats was only 60%. There were more men than women, and as the fight in the ring took place, cheers and curses came out from the audience from time to time.
Most of the spectators who come here to watch the fight are not here to watch the competition, but to bet on winning or losing, and betting on how many moves the players can survive. It's almost a gambling stall, and there are a lot of tricks. Of course, the success rate is super high and there is a 50% chance of success.
Of course, the odds are not high. If you want a high return, you can either continue to climb up to the high-rise building, or go underground to watch the black boxing buy wins and losses.
The second floor upstairs is very exciting, Jiang Dawei watched it with relish, and also took out some money to gamble. Lose more and win less, the good amount is not big, and you can't lose much, pure fun!
Haisheng looks uncomfortable, the layman looks lively, and the insider looks at the doorway. The people on stage are full of loopholes in their moves, like children. After admiring it for a while, there was nothing to see, and I proposed to go upstairs to have a look. Others also went along, and as the floor increased, the level of the people who went on stage to fight was obviously different.
When it comes to the third floor, the situation in the ring is very different, and the people who fight are strong in kung fu and have rich experience in actual combat. Most of them are Muay Thai, and boxers can also get away with it. Occasionally, you can see veterans, and the fighting skills should not be underestimated, but there are few people who fight with traditional Chinese martial arts.
On the fourth layer, the tricks are different, in addition to people fighting, there are also human and animal battles, mainly fighting beast dogs, and there are also tearing between fighting beasts, which is quite ferocious.
Ascending to the fifth floor, the hall had fewer spectators, and boxes were added, with scantily clad service girls shuttling through the boxes to serve the wealthy. And the contestants on stage are all masters, and they also increase the tricks to play weapon warfare. Although there is no difference between life and death, danger is everywhere, after all, the sword has no eyes, and serious injuries are not uncommon.
The audience was also very excited, as if it was a kind of pathology. There are capital requirements for betting on this layer, at least 5000 bets, and the odds have also increased.
There are not many participants, after all, the victory and defeat of master duels are often overnight, and it is difficult to see the obvious gap before the battle. There are more people who use Chinese kung fu in this layer, and those who use Fusang also appear from time to time, and veterans are still fierce at this level. The number of Muay Thai and boxers has decreased.
Haisheng watched a few ring competitions, and felt that he could win three or five consecutive victories on stage, and he still had the strength to continue to climb up and see where his limit was?
Jiang Dawei told him that if he wanted to go to the sixth floor, he had to have an identity and status, either a dignitary, or a child of the family. Either Liangcai can also be used, and the minimum standard is 200,000 yuan to go to the sixth floor. He hasn't been there either, so I don't know what's going on above?
Haisheng also didn't have 200,000 yuan, he was very depressed, stayed on the fifth floor for a while, took out five golden bulls and bet once. Bought is a Vietnamese veteran Sheng, and his opponent is Fuso Karate.
The veterans have rich experience in actual combat, and their fighting skills are not fancy, and their shots are fast, accurate, and ruthless. Not only to the enemy, but also to oneself.
The person who uses karate is not mediocre, his reaction speed is quite fast, and there is no shortage of actual combat. In a short encounter, both sides were defeated, and the veteran had a slight advantage, and in the event of an accident, he had the greatest chance of winning.
At this moment, there were high rollers in the box who threw a lot of money and threw 100,000 yuan into the ring, asking for weapons to fight.
