Chapter 6 Information!
Tread Tread.
Jason walked down the secret passage with his 'collaborator'.
The secret passage in front of me was deep and dark, with no lights.
However, for Jason, who has 17 times more perception than ordinary people.
Everything is like daytime.
He raised his hand and pressed the mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage—he had already 'heard' that the man named 'Kulin' pressed it before, so there was no danger.
In fact, it is.
With Jason's button.
The secret passage was closed again.
Jason stepped forward.
The secret passage in front of him was obviously dug a long time ago, and the walls were already covered with moss, but the layer of stones on the ground was as clean as new, and even had a slight reflection in Jason's vision.
Obviously, someone was walking on it.
The entire secret road is about 20 meters long and has a bend.
At the corner, Jason paused and looked up.
Although the top of the secret passage was covered up, Jason could still see a palm-wide metal door hidden behind the moss.
Obviously, this is a defense mechanism.
When someone breaks in, as long as the mechanism is pressed, the metal door will fall to stop the intruder.
Maybe it won't last long.
However, it is enough to leave room for the owner of the secret passage to escape.
It's just that the master of the secret path probably didn't expect that he would be killed by a "collaborator".
Carrying the 'collaborator', Jason continued to walk forward.
In front of his eyes, at the end of the secret passage was a room that was lit with light.
a brazier.
Compared with the damp and dark secret passage.
The secret room in front of me is much better.
There are cement and wooden frames as barriers, the gaps are filled with sand, and the brazier brings light and heat, making the place warm. A corpse is sitting on a chair.
There is a bookshelf as high as a person around, but there are only seven or eight books on it, and there are some sundries, which are very messy. Every book is lying flat on it, and there are some obvious places where things should be placed. It is empty.
Other than that there is a desk and bed.
There were paper and pens on it, Jason glanced at it, it was a pen and white paper - this is also a high price in the 'city that never sleeps', even in the 16th district, there are only a few places for sale. More often than not, what the residents of the 'Sleepless City' get is yellowed papyrus.
As for the pen?
That's kind of hard currency.
Sometimes the price is higher than gold and guns.
The 'old man' has two fountain pens, and he wipes them with a satin cloth with great care every time, especially when he smokes a cigar, he likes to wipe them while smoking.
The desk has no drawers, so you can see everything.
Jason looked at the bed.
It is said to be a bed, but it is actually a platform made of stones. Then, hay and blankets are thrown on it. There is a hole in the blanket, and it has to be folded over to cover it tightly.
It can be seen that the owner of the secret path named 'Kulin' is not rich.
Jason turned his head and looked at the other party sitting in the chair carefully, which confirmed this point even more.
Not to mention the rags and rags, there was a faint smell on his body, which was the smell left by not being able to take a bath for a long time.
However, the hands are very clean.
Obviously worried about staining the white paper.
At this time, the master of the secret path was facing the sky, and was left with skin and bones after being sucked.
From the looks of ordinary people, the other party is already dead.
But in Jason's perception, the other party's breath was still there.
even,
A heartbeat can be heard.
Very faint, and the interval is very long.
Jason didn't point out this, he just threw the 'collaborator' on the ground and picked up the 'collaborator''s backpack.
The 'collaborator' whose neck was broken did not die.
Extraordinary power, let the opponent's vitality exceed imagination.
When he was thrown to the ground by Jason, the 'collaborator' saw Jason's appearance at a glance, and immediately exclaimed.
"It's you?!"
That voice was full of disbelief.
The 'collaborator' stared at the pair of goldfish eyes, and the protruding goldfish eyes seemed to be staring out at this moment.
The 'collaborators' were really surprised.
In his perception, Jason is a 'postman'.
Although he has a great reputation, a 'postman' is a 'postman', and it is impossible to face Bitter, one of the 'golden six evil dogs'.
unless……
"Are you an extra arrangement for 'Jin'?"
'Collaborator' asked.
Although the words were questionable, the tone was very certain.
Moreover, the 'collaborator' continued on his own.
"It's no wonder that he only dispatched Bit, a vicious dog, against an enemy like the 'Freedom Army'. It turns out that he already has a back-up!"
"Right!"
"Facing a person like me who has obtained extraordinary power, he is more interested in how I obtained extraordinary power, and..."
"What's in Area 30!"
Speaking of this, the 'collaborator' sneered.
District 30?
Has the other party entered Area 30?
Jason narrowed his eyes.
The other party should not have lied.
Judging from the position of the secret path in front of him and the words of the secret path master 'Kulin' just now, the 'collaborator' should have entered the 30th area for some reason, and then was rescued by the secret path master.
And, there is a great possibility.
The opponent's extraordinary power is obtained from within the 30 area!
"Area 30 that can obtain extraordinary power?"
While thinking in his heart, Jason raised the sole of his foot and stepped on the throat of the 'collaborator' again.
Click it!
In the crisp sound, the spine in the neck of the other party who had almost recovered was crushed again, and even the vocal cords became pulpy.
The eyes of the 'collaborator' popped.
The resentment and anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.
If eyes could kill, Jason would have been dead by now.
Unfortunately not.
Under the gaze of the 'collaborator', Jason just opened the backpack and took out the contents one by one.
There are not many kinds of things in the huge travel bag.
It's just the same.
Books and gems.
Books accounted for the vast majority, there were as many as ten books, and they were heavy.
There are two gems.
One red and one blue, twinkling in the hand.
The fragrance full of 'charm' comes from these two gems.
Jason was not in a hurry to eat. He wiped the two gems and put them in his coat pocket. Then, under the increasingly resentful eyes of the 'collaborator', he flipped through the ten books.
All are books about the knowledge of the 'mysterious side'.
However, there are omissions in some key places, and there are still some mistakes.
After flipping through the books extremely quickly, Jason threw the books into his backpack.
no doubt.
These ten books are also traps dug by the master of the secret path for the 'collaborators'.
The basics are all correct.
But about the 'ceremony', some weird knowledge has been tampered with.
I can't usually see it.
When it's critical, it's fatal.
However, this is none of Jason's business.
Neither the 'collaborator' nor the owner of the secret path are obviously not good people.
Whoever died, Jason would not have a little trouble.
Not to mention being sad.
So, when walking towards the bookshelf, Jason stepped on the 'collaborator' again.
The opponent's spine that had just healed broke again.
The 'collaborator' couldn't speak, but in the translucent head, the brain was squirming crazily. Obviously, his emotions had reached an extreme. Jason saw it, and lifted his foot to crush the 'collaborator''s limbs.
Immediately, the frantically wriggling brain calmed down.
Jason sneered, and looked up at the remaining books on the shelf in front of him.
What are the virtues of the residents of the 'city that never sleeps'?
A combination of cautious, timid, vicious, and ruthless.
He is the one who brings the 'Law of the Jungle' to the extreme.
It cannot be said that there are no good people.
But there are really not many good people.
Because, die too fast.
No matter how good a person is, if he survives in the 'city that never sleeps', he will hide his kindness and make himself stand out.
It's so hard to live.
Especially living in the 'city that never sleeps'.
As for wanting to live better?
Jason in the past didn't even dare to think about it,
However, now, he has a similar idea.
Therefore, he needs to know more about the 'city that never sleeps'.
It is to understand the 'city that never sleeps' from a place outside the circle of the 'old man'.
That,
Books are essential.
So, Jason raised his hand and took down seven or eight books from the shelf.
These books may not contain knowledge about the 'mysterious side', but to Jason at this moment, as long as more things about the 'city that never sleeps' are recorded, it will be valuable.
Looking at the books in his hands, Jason picked up the thinnest one.
The reason why it is said to be seven or eight books is because the one in Jason's hand is too thin.
It's not like a book at all.
rather like...
Brochure.
When Jason saw the words on the book clearly, he blinked.
Because, it is really a brochure!
This is a slightly yellowed brochure. On the front page are printed high-rise buildings, blue sky, white clouds and the sun, and a line of words Welcome to Shangcheng!
Blue sky and white clouds!
sun!
Clean streets!
Straight tall buildings!
Especially the people walking with their companions and smiling on the street, made Jason breathless.
Jason would not be surprised to see such a scene anywhere.
But in the 'city that never sleeps'?
Incredible!
Subconsciously, Jason opened the brochure.
The pictures on every page are beautiful.
He saw modern communities, shopping malls, and amusement parks that were no different from his "hometown".
Similarly, he also saw the text of those introductions.
100000!
You only need 100,000 gold, and you can get the qualification to go to the upper city!
No fighting here!
No more hunger!
Here you will get everything unimaginable in the past!
The words full of temptation are mixed under the beautiful photos.
Jason flipped from beginning to end.
His brows were involuntarily frowned.
Instinctively, he didn't believe the brochure.
He always felt it was a trap.
But he didn't know much about the upper city of the 'City That Never Sleeps', only occasionally hearing a few words from the 'old man'.
To sum it up, it is——
Uptown is a great place.
It's heaven.
He's retired and must live uptown.
According to the words of the 'old man', the upper part of the 'City That Never Sleeps' should fit the description in this brochure.
But at the same time, Jason also trusted his instincts.
Put down the brochure in your hand.
Jason picked up the remaining seven books.
After he opened it, he realized that these seven books turned out to be diaries.
It records the diary of the first half of the life of the secret road master 'Kulin'——
1118r23 sunny
I finally got the qualification to enter the school to study.
Teacher Cande did not lie to me, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.
1118r26 sunny
Teacher Kande sent me to school. The people here are really nice, the clothes are clean and friendly, even when they heard that I was from the lower city, there was nothing unusual.
1118r31 sunny
School is really busy.
There is no rest time every day, but the food is fresh and delicious, and there is a rationed supply of meat every day.
However, compared with others, my homework is far behind.
This is true whether it is a cultural class or a fighting class.
I'm going to work hard.
1118r51 sunny
It took me eight weeks to catch up with the rest of the class in culture, but in combat... Maybe I'm not talented.
1118r61 sunny
I got an A+ in the cultural course and was the first in the class.
But I only got a D in the fighting class, which is the second last in the class.
Should I be glad?
Or wry smile?
1118r71 Overcast
Shit!
My fighting class turned out to be the last one.
1118r81 heavy rain
asshole!
Why was my cultural class surpassed when I was the last one in the fighting class?
Are those guys trying to laugh at me?
1118r815 Rain
School is out, I went back to downtown, it's still so bad here, Mr. Kande has also become chattering, but promise me to find a fighting instructor, then listen to his nagging.
15 sunny
school starts!
I'm not who I used to be.
I will definitely make those bastards who underestimate me look good!
1 sunny
what happened?
Why do I work so hard, but the fighting class is still the last one?
The cultural class also became the 10th?
This is impossible?
Did they cheat?
1 sunny
My grades dropped again.
They must have cheated!
I want to expose them!
7 sunny
I found it!
That's the proof!
11 sunny
What?
The principal said that it is a class where only truly talented people can gather, isn't it cheating?
Damn it!
This is confusing concepts!
How could I be a person without talent?
Cande said, I'm very talented!
I want to prove it to them!
1119r117 sunny
No clue.
1119r21 sunny
Still have no idea.
1119r31 sunny
Grade drop?
I can't manage that much anymore.
1119r41 sunny
I was expelled from school?
Just because my culture class and fighting class are the last ones?
Damn it!
What kind of eyes does Cande have?
disappointment?
I have a secret that you don't know.
1120r41 light rain
what!
I knew it, I was a genius!
I finally found the location of the 'secret' in the lower city.
1 sunny
Three and a half years!
I'm getting close!
Kande seems to have discovered something...
Do you want to kill him?
2 strong wind
Sure enough, killing Kander was the right thing to do. With his savings, I can speed up.
However, a few of his students seem to be investigating the matter.
Otherwise, kill them together?
1127r15 sunny
finished!
I succeeded, I mastered the 'supernatural power'.
I got that 'secret'.
I'm going back to Uptown.
1127r16 sunny
Damn it!
what happened?
Why is the access to Uptown closed?
1127r17 sunny
Not only is the passage in the upper city closed, but the lower city has also become a mess.
Something big is happening!
1127r19 Gale
Sure enough, something big happened!
Seems like an opportunity for me though?
11 strong wind
Damn, didn't dodge.
I was called up.
1131r41 sunny
I was lucky to survive.
The 3,000 people who accompanied me all died.
I got a vacation.
Shit!
I won't be going back!
1131r74 rain
I ran away.
deserter?
No, I just want to live.
After all, I have mastered so much knowledge.
1143r113 snow
The war is over?
I can breathe a sigh of relief.
1143r114 snow
what happened?
Is this the end of the advertised war?
fraud!
I need to keep hiding.
20 wind
scam!
It's all a scam!
I should have found out!
1151r11 sunny
I'm going to expose it!
I want to take back everything that is mine.
...
The diary is intermittent, and the span is very long, not to mention, it is also mixed with many miscellaneous notes.
It's a lot of work to read.
Also, the person who keeps the diary is kind of crazy.
But what caught Jason's attention even more was the scam mentioned by the other party.
When he left the 'old man' today, he saw that the date was 1153r49, that is, the last page of the diary was two years ago.
Has the scam been exposed by the other party?
Thinking about it, Jason turned his head and looked at the master of the secret passage, 'Kulin', who was pretending to be dead.
But at this moment, the 'collaborator' who recovered again sneered——
"You don't believe the words of this lunatic, thinking that the 'city that never sleeps' is just a prison?"
