Chapter 93 Faded

Just as Chen Ling was about to speak, Uncle Zhao said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Yi, can't you speak properly? After all, you and A Ling have been neighbors since childhood. How can you be so rude?"

Although Zhao Yi was reckless, Uncle Zhao was very smart. He scolded Zhao Yi, but in fact, he also said this to Chen Ling.

He knew that his son could not do anything big, he was not popular, and he had never gotten along with Chen Ling before... Now that Chen Ling was a law enforcer, he hoped that Chen Ling would not be so mean to him because they grew up together.

Although Chen Ling was not in the officialdom in his previous life, he could still hear such a simple meaning.

Chen Ling silently lowered his head and drank soy milk without saying a word.

Zhao Yi opened his mouth to say something, but was glared back by Uncle Zhao. He threw his backpack on the table next to him unhappily and picked up the buns to eat.

"Aren't you on the night shift today? Why are you back so early?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"The factory is closed, what can I do?" Zhao Yi got even angrier when he mentioned this. He said viciously, "I haven't received my salary for the past few days! I'll go and ask for it tomorrow!"

Chen Ling's ears moved and he suddenly asked:

"Uncle Zhao, what job does Xiao Yi do now?"

"He works in a steel factory forging steel." Uncle Zhao glanced at Zhao Yi and continued, "This kid didn't study well and didn't have any skills, so I used my connections to get him to work in the steel factory... How much money can he make melting snow outside every day?"

Zhao Yi pouted, as if he wanted to refute, but he could only lower his head in silence.

Uncle Zhao was telling the truth. The money he earned from working in the steel factory for a day was enough for him to go out and melt snow for the road management bureau for several days... After all, odd jobs are not as useful as formal jobs.

Chen Ling nodded.

The most abundant thing in the seven districts is factories. In addition to the streets where they live, there are many factories further out. These factories provide 70% of the employment in the seven districts. If Chen Ling had not passed the law enforcement exam, his final destination would most likely be one of the factories.

"Will the steel plant also stop production?" Chen Ling was puzzled.

"How should I know? All the raw materials in the factory have been transported away. There is nothing left. As soon as we go there, they ask us to get out and don't pay us... What the hell are those factory managers thinking?"

Zhao Yi became more and more angry. He finally found a stable job, but now it's gone... Do I have to go back to melt the snow again?

"The raw materials have been transported away? Where are they transported to?"

"Where else can it be, Aurora City."

"There are not many factories in Aurora City, why do they need raw materials?" Uncle Zhao was also puzzled.

"I don't know!"

Chen Ling thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what the principle was. Could it be that Aurora City is also going to develop heavy industry?

Chen Ling didn't understand all this nonsense. After drinking the soy milk, he stood up slowly and smiled at Uncle Zhao.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll go back first..."

"Okay, take care."

Chen Ling left a few silver coins and pushed the door open, leaving only Zhao Yi's complaints echoing in the house.

He crossed the street and walked to the door of his house in a few steps. He glanced at the corner of the door and saw no signs of anyone entering or leaving. He took out the key and opened the door.

Cluster——

Chen Ling lit the kerosene lamp on the table, locked the door with his backhand, stood on the table, and began to feel the beam above...

After a while, a token and a ring appeared in his palm.

"There are no signs of entering or leaving the door, but the things were put in... Is this the level of a thief saint?" Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Chen Ling put the two things close to his body and raised his hand to extinguish the kerosene lamp on the table.

The house fell into darkness.

...

At the same time.

Aurora City.

On the bed, Chu Muyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes...

In the closed bedroom, the curtain-like gauze fluttered gently, as if an invisible wind had stayed here. Outside the gauze, there was a silent surge of aurora all over the sky.

Chu Muyun stared at the aurora outside the window for a long time, sat up from the bed, put on a white coat on the wall, and pushed the door open.

The cold winter wind blew up his clothes. Chu Muyun pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected the aurora and the reflection of a lazy man on the eaves.

"Good observation skills, worthy of the [Blood Slaughter] path."

The man gently lowered the brim of his baseball cap, chuckled and spoke, a pair of silver snake-shaped earrings swayed silently under the moon.

"[Red Heart Queen]." Chu Muyun put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and spoke calmly, "Senior, you suddenly came. Is there something?"

"Don't call me senior. It makes me look old."

"..."

"I just finished the task above. I'm bored, so I came to chat with you." Bai Ye yawned, "After all, you are the first member to infiltrate Aurora City."

"Senior Bai Ye, just because you don't sleep doesn't mean others don't need to sleep."

Chu Muyun answered seriously, "Lack of sleep can easily lead to depression and obesity, and may also cause heart disease, diabetes, and..."

"The premise for a human to get sick is that he must be a human."

"...Are you hinting at me?"

"Yes."

"..."

Bai Ye saw Chu Muyun's frustrated expression, laughed, and seemed to be in a much better mood, "By the way, the newcomer you introduced is very interesting."

"[6 of Hearts]?" Chu Muyun raised his eyebrows, "He is not just interesting...If you make him angry, the whole world will be interesting..."

"I heard about the world-destroying disaster in human skin." Bai Ye thought about it, and suddenly spoke with interest,

"What do you think would happen if I suddenly stole his "reason"?"

Hearing this, Chu Mu Yun's face changed. He frowned and stared at Bai Ye, as if he wanted to see if he was joking or if he really had this crazy idea...

"Don't look at me like that. I just said it casually." Bai Ye shrugged, as if he was a little scared by his stare. "You know, I can control my hands... at least for now."

"You'd better keep it under control. Otherwise, stay away from him."

"I know, I know."

Bai Ye leaned leisurely on the eaves, looking up at the sea of ​​aurora that never stopped. The courtyard fell into silence... After an unknown amount of time, he slowly spoke:

"【7 of Spades】, did you find it?"

"What?"

Bai Ye raised his hand and pointed to the aurora that stretched to the horizon above his head.

"The aurora is lighter than before."
