Chapter 299: Fabricated Past

Chen Ke got into the car and found that it had been refueled.

Lucina's car was a 1983 Dodge Challenger, a very old car, but it was obviously modified and became a luxury car that could participate in street races. It had strong horsepower and was wild and unruly. If you didn't hold the steering wheel after stepping on the accelerator, you would be afraid that it would spin in circles.

It only took half an hour to drive from Heinard's fish factory to the gun store. He passed a forest along the coastal highway towards the Rolling Iron District.

That was where he and the consortium killer had fought for their lives before. It was also the place where he was resurrected for the first time.

Then he went forward and entered the depressed streets of the Rolling Iron District. When passing by the wreckage of the Xijin Building, Chen Ke found that the ruins left by the building had been demolished and turned into an open space.

This piece of land may never be covered with new buildings, but the ruins have been demolished, and there is no way to automatically generate a spiritual explosion space here. Chen Ke doesn't know what will happen here in the future.

The car stopped at the door of the gun shop. The main door was not closed today, but Pihom's red truck was parked at the door with a pile of boxes on it.

Chen Ke pushed the door open and saw Pihom putting boxes of bullets into cartons.

"Pihom." Chen Ke greeted him.

Pihom heard Chen Ke's voice, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Chen Ke.

"It seems that you are ready to move." Chen Ke pointed to the boxes piled on the ground.

"Just packing up things, I won't move immediately for the time being. After all, it's not easy to build a safe house..." Pihom said.

He paused, waved his hand, and then said: "Tell me about your buyer, Chen Ke, how do you know the people from the Psychic Research Institute?"

Chen Ke walked to the gun cabinet, supported himself on the edge with one hand, and said: "The people in the institute are very interested in these strange things. I have my own connections. Believe me, there will be no problem."

"I'm not doubting you, Chen Ke, but the other party is from the institute after all. You'd better make sure that this person is foolproof." Pihom said.

"If there is a problem, I will find a way to deal with it, but I have to meet her first." Chen Ke said.

"Well... you haven't been here for long, but I feel more at ease if you handle this matter than if Hall and others do it. When are you going to meet that person?" Pihom said in a deep voice.

"That person is in Norton City. I may leave today. If nothing goes wrong, I will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Heinard is helping me arrange a boat. I need a holster and some spare bullets for the Type 67 pistol." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"I can help you with these things. After all, this is a gun store... although it's closed." Pihom laughed.

After helping Chen Ke get a new holster and four spare magazines, Chen Ke helped move the paper boxes for a while and transported them to the car outside the door. Soon the trailer was full. And this is only a small part of the gun store's survival.

It was still unrealistic to use a pickup truck to tow everything away. Pihom told Chen Ke that he had a place in Bain where he could temporarily store some ammunition and equipment. Moreover, as the depression in Opportunity City worsened, he might consider moving to another place after the Green Holy Diamond was sold.

Chen Ke did not comment. Pihom had been eager to try several robbery opportunities before, but now he was considering leaving.

Pihom had to wait for Priskin to arrive at the gun store, and then drive to Lafite Road with him. Chen Ke also had to wait for Heinard's call, so the two leaned against the counter and chatted. Anyway, there was still time.

"It's getting weirder here. I can feel it. I used to smell money in the air, but recently there's only gunpowder here." Pihom sighed and took out a cigarette box and handed it to Chen Ke.

"I don't smoke... Lao Pi, I also feel that there are more people here, and they are making trouble." Chen Ke sighed.

It's not a few foreign companies, but a new force has intervened in the upper-level competition of the federal psychic industry.

It's not just business. The Wu'an Consortium behind Li Moyang may not represent this force.

The Descendants... Li Moyang once said this to him alone in Chinese. Obviously, it was to prevent the other people in the car from understanding.

"Chen Ke, since you came, many strange things have happened here. I can't tell whether it is the strange things that attracted you or you attracted the strange things. Of course... I don't mean to blame you. It's just that in the past two months, the things my small group has experienced may be more bizarre than the sum of more than ten years." Pihom said, lighting a cigarette for himself.

Before Chen Ke came, the postman rarely failed, and rarely revealed his feet and was found by the enemy. They fought quickly and acted cautiously. Their actions were within the tolerance of the big consortiums.

After Chen Ke appeared, he was found by Yasra, although the actual situation was because of Heinard.

"If you come out, you will get your shoes wet sooner or later. Just find a place to dry them." Chen Ke said.

"Well... I've always been curious, Chen Ke. Heinard told me not to ask you, but I still can't help being curious. How do you use psychic power?" Pihom asked in confusion.

"I don't have psychic power." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled.

"We are the only ones here, Chen Ke. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. At least I know you are on our side... But I don't think you need to hide anything from us." Pihom said.

"What did Heinard say?" Chen Ke asked back.

"He suspected that you were a spiritual practitioner from the Phoenix Republic. Spiritual practitioners have similar abilities to psychics, but they are weaker because they don't have spiritual elements in their spinal cords. They use psychic energy in another way. However, that method doesn't seem to be so easy to learn, and the duration of maintenance is much shorter than that of psychics... and after using it once, you have to rest for a long time before you can use it again... It is a convenient but impractical way to use psychic energy." Piholm explained.

"Oh... he saw through it." Chen Ke took advantage of the situation.

"Are you really? It seems that your background is not simple. I haven't been to the Phoenix Republic, but Heinard has contacted people there when he smuggled the holy relics. Spiritual practice is also illegal there, and its nature is similar to ours." Piholm stroked his beard, as if he understood something.

"Whatever you think, Piholm, my hands are not clean. I came here just to avoid my enemies, and I also tried my best to deal with the tails that followed me. Just know this." Chen Ke made up.

"I know you have been very busy recently. It seems that they are biting a little tight..." Piholm nodded and agreed.

The two chatted for a while, talking about Lucina and Heinard, the jobs the postman had done before, and even the glorious days of Opportunity City 50 years ago.
