Chapter 28 My Landlady
"He can't stay here!"

"Mom, just think of it as renting him a room, even a basement. He's very pitiful. He was framed and has nowhere to go."

"How much material did they give you to buy off your filthy soul? You actually brought a stranger into your home!"

"A lot, I must admit, but that's not the point... The point is that his uncle is in charge of logistics in a place very close to Upper City. People in charge of logistics are no small figures. As long as the brothers and sisters can build a good relationship with him, even if they go to Central City to develop in the future, there will be someone to take care of them. This is a kind of exchange, Mom!"

"They don't have to go to Central City! Central City is a prison that destroys human nature! You have changed! Hua! You have changed!"

In the study on the first floor of the small wooden building.

Thomas the 'Old Goat' was arguing violently with the kindly landlady.

Outside the wooden door with several gaps, several children put their ears close to listen to the noises in the study.

Wang Jixuan stood in the corner of this living room and dining room, with his hands behind his back, waiting for his 'fate'.

He seemed a little absent-minded because of his rapid thinking.

气；
Qi is the origin of all things;
Qi will not lie;
Wang Jixuan would never admit his mistake about the energy in Wen Heisen's body.

This old woman, Thomas's adoptive mother, had a trace of Wen Heshen's aura on her hands. They had had contact recently. This trace of aura was slowly dissipating. If he arrived here tomorrow, he would probably miss this key information.

However, this is the heartland of the Wanlijin Gang's 'Emerald Manor'.

There were still sporadic exchanges of fire between Wanlijin and the Black Fire Gang. He even heard the sound of gunfire like frying beans when he and Thomas were driving past the border of the two gangs' territories.

Although the actual distance between the two gangs was not too far, there were large areas of continuous darkness.

But the old woman's body had begun to decay. She had no energy in her body. She was just an ordinary person and it was unlikely that she could climb over those ditches, barbed wire, and hidden mines.

Thomas' words echoed in Wang Jixuan's mind:

'They can continue to expand downwards, digging holes.'

Digging a hole?

Wang Jixuan looked down at his feet and closed his eyes to sense. Ten meters below his feet, a two-meter-high arched tunnel gradually appeared.

Really authentic...

"Hello! My name is Ye Zi!"

A slender hand, which was too white due to long-term lack of light, came into Wang Jixuan's sight.

Wang Jixuan looked up and saw a small, clean girl's face with a smile.

Thomas introduced her just now. Her name is Ye Zi. She is the leader of this group of orphans. She is thirteen years old this year. She has just entered puberty and has already reached a good height.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Tian."

Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head: "Men and women should not touch each other."

"Hmm? What does that mean?"

Ye Zi blinked, looked Wang Jixuan up and down, and asked in a low voice:
"Are you really from Central City?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan responded softly.

"Are there lights everywhere in Midtown? Can you see lights everywhere?"

"Almost," Wang Jixuan nodded, trying to make himself sound more talkative, "but the lights in many places are also at the lowest brightness, and it looks a bit dim."

"That's much better than here. There's no light in many places... Does Central City also receive anti-darkness drugs and vitamins on a regular basis?"

"Anti-darkness drugs are collected regularly, and vitamins must be purchased with quotas," Wang Jixuan explained, "and vitamins are classified as food quotas."

Ye Zi let out a few meaningless exclamations.

Then, she wanted to warm up the atmosphere, but she couldn't find a suitable topic.

After a while, Ye Zi asked again: "Do you want to sit down and rest?"

"fine."

"Why did you come down here? Isn't Midtown wonderful?"

"Being framed and offending the powerful," Wang Jixuan still remembers the script Thomas gave him.

Leaf muttered quietly, "Wow, it's like you've offended those gangs here... I really hope you can stay."

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"Then you can help me with the work!"

Leaf whispered:

"I have to learn a lot of things every day, including arithmetic and world geography, and I have to clean the first and second floors and help my mother take care of the children. Bathing them is the most tiring part.

"As soon as I open my eyes, I have to be busy with all kinds of things. I can't even go out to play."

She complained with her head down, her ponytail swaying slightly.

Wang Jixuan noticed that Ye Zi had a barcode tattoo on the back of her neck that had been mostly worn off.

He asked, "Can you introduce your adoptive mother?"

"Of course! Mom is our mom. She lived here a long time ago, before the Wanlijin Gang was founded. She has helped more than 300 children in total! More than 300!"

When Ye Zi talked about this, there was a gleam in her eyes and she emphasized the quantity.

“Although she looks bad-tempered, she is actually very gentle at heart. When we are sick, she will stay up all night to stay by our side.

"Before I was five or six years old, I was in the Black Fire Gang. I was treated like an animal and used as an organ reserve for the dignitaries in the upper city. If those elderly people had organ failure, my organs might be removed.

“Later, during a gang conflict, the people from Wanlijin rescued me… many of us were rescued.

"Look at me here. The barcode here is the proof of my Black Fire Gang material. When I was a kid, my mother had to use a lot of strength to rub it off when I was taking a bath.

"Then, my mother raised me, taught me to read, and taught me many truths about life. My mother often said that even if we are in the dark, we must not give up hope. As long as we keep holding hands, even if we are just weak individuals, we can change the world step by step."

Wang Jixuan nodded and raised his eyebrows: "That makes sense."

He glanced at the study with a slightly complicated look.

A person's pupils cannot lie. Ye Zi's eyes are pure and kind, without any evil spirit in them.

The old woman inside, who was somewhat influenced by Wen Heisen's aura, also did not have any evil aura at all.

What is evil spirit?

In short, after killing someone, there will be evil spirits. The malice emanating from the inside out and the resentment of the killed creature will entangle with each other, and evil spirits will be born.

Many magic skills will specifically cultivate evil spirits, and they will also use evil spirits to refine some vicious magic weapons such as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He must be full of evil spirits now, but... it seems that only he can sense this thing.

——Master Wang’s exclusive right of interpretation.

So, what is going on? Who is this old woman?

"What kind of job did you do in Midtown before?" Ye Zi asked in a low voice.

Wang Jixuan casually replied, "Assembly line worker."

"Then I'll call you Brother Tian," Ye Zi muttered, "I really hope Brother Hua can convince mom. I really need a helper with housework."

"Then you may not be satisfied," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "I may have to go out to work and earn some guild coins."

"No! Please!"

“I have to support myself.”

The study door suddenly opened, and several eavesdropping children were thrown to the ground.

Thomas winked at Wang Jixuan, "Done! You can live here! My mother will arrange a job for you later. She has a wide network of contacts in the local area. However, two-thirds of the materials you earn must be used to buy food for the children, okay?"

Wang Jixuan nodded immediately: "Yes, this place is nice and... interesting."

Very good refers to the surrounding spiritual environment.

The interesting thing is the tunnel under your feet.

"Great!"

Ye Zi jumped up with joy.

Although most of the children didn't understand what was happening, the leader had started jumping, so they followed suit.

"Commission completed! Bang bang bang bang!"

Thomas cheered, pointed his two index fingers at Wang Jixuan, and then walked towards the dining table, shaking his sexy big buttocks, his body swaying to the rhythm of his mouth.

You can see that he is really relaxed here.

"Ye Zi, go fry me some donuts! I'm leaving after I eat them!"

Ye Zi grabbed Wang Jixuan's arm and dragged him to the kitchen next door: "Go and help me! The rule in the kitchen is that those who work can steal three bites!"

Wang Jixuan burst out laughing.

She is so lively.

……

This was the first time that Wang Jixuan had eaten a dessert made of pure flour since coming to this world.

The craftsmanship of Ye Zi is very good.

Thomas ate two donuts and left in a hurry. Something happened in his store in the perverted area of ​​Happy City. It seemed that someone was causing trouble.

Thomas also had to get that seductive look back on the way back.

While Master Wang was tasting the fried desserts, the diligent Xiao Ye had already brought a few of his eight or nine-year-old brothers and sisters to help him clean the room in the corner of the second floor.

His room was right opposite several girls' rooms, so it was inevitable that it would be a little noisy on weekdays.

But fortunately, Wang Jixuan is not picky about this. He usually meditates instead of sleeping.

He is now very interested in the hostess here, Kong Lianmei, who is 69 years old.

underground passages;

The kind old lady who has been living here and constantly helping orphans;
The aura of the third leader of the Black Fire Gang, the hidden psychic Wen Heisen.

What is the hidden connection behind this?
His new room was not very big, only about two meters long and wide, and the roof sloped down from left to right, and he couldn't stand up straight near the outer wall. A narrow single bed and a desk beside the bed filled up two-thirds of the space.

There were several text posters hanging on the wall with the word 'TER' written in big letters.

Wang Jixuan didn't know what these three letters meant.

From Ye Zi's chatterbox, he heard about the original owner of the room. He was a 24-year-old young man who left this big family three years ago and went to work for the Silver Gang on the 46th floor. The last time he came back was half a year ago, and he brought them some expired cosmetics and other things.

The bed was covered with clean old sheets, and the dim light on the desk was dying.

Wang Jixuan sat down and tried to meditate to experience the speed of cultivation.

Before going to Thomas's tavern, he had sent his luggage to the 49th floor and hid it in an abandoned hut near the border of the Black Fire Gang's territory.

He planned to go over there later to pick up some small items that wouldn't attract anyone else's attention.

dong dong!

There was a sound coming from the leaky door, and a pair of big, sparkling eyes were looking out from the crack of the door.

Wang Jixuan said, "Please come in."

squeak-

Ye Zi jumped in holding some loose cotton and linen clothes, and placed them and two pairs of patched cloth shoes on the bed.

"I saw you didn't have any luggage, so I helped you find some of your brothers' old clothes and shoes. They should be about your size. If they're too small, I'll change them! There are a lot of them in the basement."

Ye Zi advised:
"But you have to take good care of them. I'll have to clean them and put them away after you leave."

Wang Jixuan smiled knowingly: "Thank you."

"Hehe, then you take a rest. I'm going to go give the little ones a bath first."

Ye Zi waved her hand, her ponytail swinging slightly, and she quickly left.

'A very cute little girl.'

Wang Jixuan made a simple comment in his heart that it was rare to see such a girl with such spiritual energy in this place.

I just don't know how long Xiao Ye's agility can be maintained.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the wall at the door.

He felt it again... that wisp of air that was about to dissipate.
