Chapter 13 [Psychic Quest: The Patron Saint of the Poor]

Chen Ke raised his head and looked deep into the red door. In the dark corridor, an energetic old man walked out.

He is about a head taller than Chen Ke, very strong, wearing a blue polo shirt, gray suit pants, a pair of brown glasses, hairy forearms, a beard, and looks a lot like Pierce Brosnan.

The old man waved his hand and asked everyone to put down their guns. Then he walked to the counter and extended his right hand to Chen Ke in a friendly manner.

"My name is Pihom, the owner of the gun shop. You just left a deep impression on me, reminding me of my youth. The conflict just now was not directed at you. To express my apology, I will give you 100 Send other bullets. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a few minutes to chat with you.” Pihom smiled.

Chen Ke looked up at the ceiling of the store. In a corner, there was a camera facing him.

"I'm very busy." Chen Ke didn't have time to have a long chat with an old man from a gun shop, so he turned and walked out the door.

"If we want to make a good conversation, I can give you a gun." Pihom's voice came from behind.

Chen Ke ignored him and walked through the shelves towards the door.

"I would like to kindly remind you that the M1911A1 is not an ordinary gun. No matter where you got it from, I suggest you get rid of it as soon as possible." Pihom continued.

Chen Kela opened the door.

"Those wild dogs infected by psychic energy only come out at night, and you can't find them during the day." Pihom still didn't give up.

Chen Ke stood still. The morning sunlight shone on his slightly pale skin, but he could not feel any warmth.

He turned back, closed the door, took out the Glock 17 from his arms, turned on the safety and pointed it at Pihom.

The two black bodyguards and the fat boss next to the counter pointed their guns at Chen Ke again.

This time, he definitely felt the murderous intentions of the three people. In addition to the life span increase of 3 minutes per second, there was also a murderous aura absorption prompt of 1 point per second, and the total murderous aura became 40/50.

The scene became tense again.

"Are you spying on me?" Chen Ke asked.

Chen Ke's mind was racing with thoughts. Could this Pihom be from the Si Group? Do they see themselves using holy objects? I am not a registered psyker, so I don't know what the consequences will be if I get entangled by someone from the Administration.

"My people told me this morning that a madman appeared in Lower City last night. He raided every abandoned factory he could find and left only a pile of corpses when he left." Pihom replied.

"Although those wild dogs are not difficult to deal with, they are still a big problem for ordinary people. I admire your courage and... skills. After all, you are an ordinary person who can't even use a psychic pistol. So, I want to talk to you." Pihom saw Chen Ke's doubts and continued.

Judging from what Pihom said just now, it is obvious that he did not know that he could use holy objects. After all, Chen Ke's battle in the factory last night was very fast, and he left without any delay after killing, so those who were spying should He didn't even see what he looked like when he was fighting.

And this Pihom obviously has a good background, maybe he is a tyrant in the lower city.

Seeing that Chen Ke still had some doubts, Pihom said: "Listen, young man, this is my territory. You can't hide anything that happens from me, but I promise you that I have no ill intentions towards you. So we'd better all fucking Put down the gun and communicate in a civilized way, it is very infuriating to have this thing pointed at your head.”

Chen Ke thought for a moment and put down his gun. The other three also put down their guns, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

"Keep it short." Chen Ke said.

"You like to cause trouble for those monsters, and I can tell you where to kill more monsters, so why don't we build a long-term partnership? I happen to have a job on hand that would suit someone like you, why not give it a try? Pihom said with a smile.

If Pihom really knows where to kill more monsters, teaming up with him wouldn't be a bad idea. At least it's much better than running around like a headless fly now. More monsters equal a more stable source of killing intent.

But he still doesn't know what Pihom is, so it's better to be cautious.

"I generally don't cooperate with strangers. You have to tell me where you are from." Chen Kedao.

Pihom pressed his hands on the glass counter, his eyes as sharp as an eagle. He looked at Chen Ke and said slowly: "When you know my secret, you have only two options left, either join or change." An unknown corpse in a back alley. So before you don’t trust me enough and I’m not sure whether you have the strength to join me, why don’t we use this simple errand to maintain our cooperative relationship?”

Chen Ke thought it made sense and said, "Okay, let's talk about it."

Pihom looked at Chen Ke with admiration. He had not seen such a talented young man for a long time, so he informed Chen Ke of the specific content of the errand.

It turns out that there is a noodle shop called "Haomaiwu" in Xiacheng District. A few months ago, there was a group of suspicious people entangled there. After all, the boss paid protection money to Pihom, so naturally he came to Pihom for help.

Pihom thought it was just unreasonable gangsters causing trouble, so he sent someone to coordinate, but the person he sent never came back. After that day, the boss never contacted Pihom again. Pihom once drove by the noodle shop and found that the business of the noodle shop was very hot, even better than before.

However, when he looked at the boss standing at the door, the noodle shop owner deliberately avoided his eyes. More than 60 years of life experience told Pihom that things would not be that simple.

"The whole thing sounds like a fight between gangs. Your territory has been targeted by another gang, and that noodle shop is just the beginning." Chen Ke sighed. He had no interest in gang fights.

"No, no, it's not that simple. Look at this photo. This was taken by an eyeliner I arranged in the noodle shop. It was at night." Pihom took out his slider phone and showed Chen Ke a photo.

Chen Ke walked forward a few steps, took the phone and looked at it carefully.

Although the pixel is very low, the person who took the photo is only two streets away from the noodle shop, and he forgot to turn off the flash when taking the photo, so it is still clear.

Chen Ke saw a few skinny and weird figures at the door of the noodle shop.

"It doesn't look like a human." Chen Ke judged.

Because the limbs of those weird figures are really thin. It seems that there is no flesh and blood, only skeletons.

And it looks like they just came out of the noodle shop.

If they are really monsters, it will be too exciting.

"I need more information." Chen Ke handed the phone back to Pihom.

"I want it too, but the guy who took this photo is dead. We found this photo after we found his phone." Pihom said, pressing a button to bring up another photo.

"Damn, I'll be scared no matter how many times I see it." He muttered softly and handed the phone to Chen Ke again.

If the previous photo was weird, then this one is terrifying.

The screen was a bleak gray, with a small black hole in the upper left corner and the lower right corner. Maybe my hand was shaking when I took the photo, and the whole photo had a serious shadow.

Chen Ke took the phone and looked at it carefully, observing it from different angles, trying to analyze what the photo was about. Pihom gestured to move the phone farther away. After Chen Ke did so, he suddenly realized something and felt a chill down his spine.
