Chapter 36 Light and Darkness (5)(1/2)
Walking out of the shop and coming to the streets of Royo City, the empty streets were silent.
Perhaps because of poverty, the nights in Royo City are never prosperous.
People often say that to know the wealth of a city, you only need to look at its lights at night.
This sentence is also true in the magic era. Most people have turned off their lights to go to bed early and shops have closed. Except for a few places, they are laughing and laughing among the bright lights and wine, most areas belong to the goddess of silence.
The wind at night blew back to the sky above Royo City. Xiuyi looked up at the sky for a while. The starry sky was extremely bright. He lowered his head and quickly walked to the Baymond neighborhood.
If the Silent Island Hotel is the most prosperous place in Royo City, representing the light, beauty, wealth and gorgeous upper class life, then the Baymond neighborhood is the dark side of the city. It represents poverty, dirty, chaos, barbarity, and a concentration of sinners.
What we have here is the most primitive nature. We do whatever we want to survive. This is the most barbaric and backward society, and violent power is the highest ruler.
Xiuyi believed that this place could be the starting point for him to shake the peace of Royo City.
Walking on the ground full of sewage, the dim lights flashed under the night, making wild cats cry from time to time, Xiu Yi looked around.
What he saw was a numb face. It said that it was a desire for a better life, but it placed all hope on God, not his own hands.
A little boy snatched the bread of the girl next door, ran desperately, and hit a ragged man. The man slapped him and then snatched the bread.
The boy and the girl stared at the bread in a daze, as they looked smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared without even the courage to curse. Then they sat quietly on the ground, waiting for the kind-hearted people to give.
Several streets were bargaining with men on the roadside, and finally made a deal with two women for 30 silverware. They were doing business in the alley next to them, and the man dealt with two at the same time, just like putting a straw in two bottles of coke, drinking this cup and drinking that cup again.
Several more men came over. One of them stood against the wall and shouted, "Do you want to have fun? Adding 10 silverwitters is enough."
So another man joined in.
All this happened in the alley. Xiu Yi could almost clearly see the unbearable scene, but his face was as deep as water, and his heart was in vain.
For everyone in this slum, it's all for life, no explanation.
If Silent Island is heaven, then Baymond is hell.
A little boy ran to Xiuyi and stretched out his hands pitifully. It was the little boy who just grabbed the bread.
Xiu Yi threw a Jinweit to the little boy. The little boy looked at more golden money in his hand greedily. After taking the money, he bowed and ran back without saying a word. When Xiu Yi watched the performance in the alley again, the men had already become four.
The first man finished his business and he took out and said, "There are only 20 Silvertits. These three guys do it with me, and they have the responsibility to be part of me."
"You stingy bastard." One muttered and scolded.
Xiuyi turned her head to the other side.
He saw a sloppy guy who took the little boy's money while listening to the little boy's talk.
The little boy pointed at him, so the ugly head swayed hard for a few times, then stood up and walked towards Xiuyi shakingly.
Xiu Yi saved even his sigh.
He stood quietly until the guy stood in front of him.
He said, "Hey, boy, hand over all the money."
"Greed is a sin."
"I agree. Everyone living in Baymond is a fucking sinner." The man said, and a knife appeared in his hand: "You'd better see clearly what I'm holding. I'm not kidding. I want money, all, your money. Do you understand?" The guy's voice was quick, obviously a little impatient.
"Yes, I understand, but I'm worried that my friends will not agree."
"What?" The man suddenly didn't understand.
Xiuyi's face showed a childlike innocent smile.
He raised his hand and pointed to the man's back.
The man looked behind him in shock, and a black shadow swept across him like a wind and threw himself on his body.
"Ah!" A shrill scream broke through the silence of the night and echoed over the Baymond neighborhood.
A large number of men rushed out of every corner, leaving them with an invisible corpse.
"What happened?" a leading man shouted.
"A teenager, a blond boy, he killed Bill." The boy who had previously taken the Jinweit from Shuyi's hand shouted: "He gave me money, but Bill wanted more!"
"Where is he?"
"He walked over there." The boy pointed in the distance.
You can vaguely see a lonely figure walking.
"Come with me." The big man led the people to chase him.
"He has a terrible big guy!" the boy shouted.
In the hazy distance, the boy only saw countless people rushing towards the lonely black shadow.
His eyes widened, and his blurred vision was full of figures jumping and shaking.
One after another, dark red liquid shot in front of his eyes, and people's shrill screams came from time to time.
The boy opened his mouth wide and looked at the faint darkness in surprise. After a short while, all the shaking shadows stopped shaking.
The picture turned into a dark red blood color, and the boy could even see blood flowing towards him.
A figure came out of the darkness.
It was the blonde boy who rewarded him with a Jinweit.
There was no trace of blood on the black vest, but the terrifying crawling creature that followed him, which was made of bones, seemed to be fished out of blood plasma, with dark red eyes staring at the boy, emitting a strong aura.
The boy trembled.
The blonde boy came to the boy's side and stood still.
"May I have your name."
“Ha…Ha.”
"Hal, do you know? You are a natural bad guy. People who don't know how to be grateful are not worthy of sympathy."
"Yes..." The boy's teeth trembled.
"I won't kill you because you're still young. But I think you should teach you some lessons so that you can remember in the future that you should learn to be grateful as a human being. This may be helpful to your growth."
"Ah!" The boy's body drew an arc in the air and fell into a garbage dump, leaving only his two feet flapping outside.
Turning back, Xiu Yi's back disappeared step by step into the darkness...
Silent Island Hotel.
Rasher hugged the girl named Sandy and was spinning at high speed on the dance floor.
"You danced awesomely." The girl named Sandy showed an admiring look in her eyes. This made Raschel feel very satisfied.
"I'm old and haven't played this kind of dance for a long time. It belongs to the young man." Raschel smiled.
"I don't think you are old at all. In fact, your age is the most attractive age."
"Is that so? I'm really flattered."
"Maybe it's because I always feel that the boys are too young, they don't know anything, but they think they are self-righteous. Mom said I have a serious Oedipus complex. I always like to be with older people, which makes me feel safe." The little girl kept chattering. She looked at Rasher and blinked: "You look like my father."
"He must be a very charitable and kind person."
"No, in fact, he is an alcoholic." The little girl covered her mouth and smiled.
Rasher, who was fooled, could only shake his head helplessly: "Oh, maybe we should take a rest. We have all skipped three games."
"Okay." The little girl shrugged and said indifferently: "But I will come to invite you later."
"Give me a piece of old bones," Raschel said with a smile.
Back in his position, Chaklay and Charlie were back. Raschel wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Where is that guy Bailey?"
Chaklay replied: "The servants of the Dardanelles family sent news that he was playing cards with the young master."
"Play cards?" Raschel was a little surprised: "With Siser Dadandar?"
"Yes." Chaklay said with certainty: "They are playing cards."
"It's amazing." Raschel shook her head, unable to figure out why the situation changed so dramatically after he had just danced a few dances.
"Maybe he can help us get more information from Siser Dardanell. He and Shioiglair were the most familiar to us when we were on Purgatory Island." Charlie said.
"If Siser Dardanell is really Shio Glair, then he will never play cards with Bailey no matter what he does." Rasher said affirmatively. "It seems that I am too careful. Go and call Bailey out and let's go. There is no need to stay here again."
"I thought that girl made you reluctant to leave." Chaklay said coldly.
Rasher glared at him: "Nothing is more important to me than work."
The communication crystal in the arms suddenly trembled.
Raschel quickly took it out.
The face of an official from the Legal Affairs Office appeared above: "Mr. Rasher, the information he just received, Soiglare appeared."
"What?!" the three of them called out at the same time.
"Shuyglare appeared. In the Baymond neighborhood, he killed at least fourteen people, all of them local gangsters. It seemed that someone had provoked him, and Shiyglare was forced to take action, so he appeared."
"Can you be sure it's him?"
