Volume 2 Amber Chapter 31 Amber? Gotham!
at dusk.
The passers-by on the street were in a hurry, and seemed to be quite busy. Chen Lun walked among them with his hands in his pockets, looking a little out of place.
He planned to go out to buy some things and walk around to get familiar with the surrounding environment and see if he could get some useful information.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the gloomy young man he met in the corridor when he went out.
When the other party saw Chen Lun, he didn't seem to care about his new neighbor.
They passed each other in silence and went straight into his own room.
The sound of the door closing was a bit loud, and he seemed a bit annoyed.
In that brief glance, Chen Lun saw anxiety and fear on his face, and he looked worried.
But Chen Lun was not curious about his affairs, so he didn't take it to heart.
I just asked Mrs. Caroline casually when I passed by the flower shop.
Mrs. Caroline told her that the young man was called Kent, and seemed to be a middle-class kid who came to Amber to study.
"Excuse me sir, excuse me for a moment."
A man's voice came.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a group of people wearing short blue cloaks.
He moved aside.
One of them was seen holding a long pole with fire coming out of the tip, and the other one tacitly lifted the cover of the street lamp so that his companion could light the wick inside.
As the street lights came on, they continued to move on to the next place.
"It turns out they are a group of lamplighters..."
Only then did Chen Lun realize that it had already darkened.
I wandered around the area for over half an hour without realizing it, but found nothing.
However, his image of looking around all the way seemed to have attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.
Fortunately, they dispelled their vigilance when they saw that he didn't look like a gangster and he was good-looking.
However, this also reminded Chen Lun that he had to get a formal identity for himself and Floy as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a hassle if they were found out.
Just as he was about to return the same way and buy some daily necessities at the grocery store, he suddenly frowned slightly.
Chen Lun walked back silently.
When passing an alley, he suddenly turned and walked in.
Soon, four young men wearing fur hats and long linen robes with waistbands rushed to the entrance of the alley.
"Go in from here."
"Did he discover us? Does he want to run away?"
"It doesn't matter, this is a dead end, he can't get away, chase him!"
The young men exchanged a few words briefly and then rushed in.
It was completely dark at this time, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you in the narrow alley.
The four men rushed in and almost tripped over a trash can. After cursing, they had to slow down.
"Damn it, where did that kid go?"
"How can he see clearly in such a dark place..."
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, followed by the sound of a person falling to the ground.
"what sound!?"
"Did you hear that?"
Bang!
A similar sound was heard again.
The remaining two people just felt creepy.
"Hey guys, how about we just head out of here?"
"Mike, I just felt that someone beside me..."
BANG!!
The man stopped talking halfway through.
The last remaining Mike staggered back.
“Boer, Boom, Eleno…are you still there?
Hey! Answer me now! Stop playing, damn it! "
Suddenly he saw a pair of emerald green vertical pupils light up in the darkness in front of him.
His heart skipped a beat, and the urban legends he had heard before flashed through his mind. He felt his whole body tremble and his heart stopped.
The next second , he heard a low, cold voice coming from the darkness:
"Answer me, who are you? Why are you following me?"
Mike was about to start talking nonsense when he saw a faint blue light in his sight, and then he couldn't help but tell the truth in a daze.
"My name is Mike, and they are my companions..."
five minutes later.
Chen Lun walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened and headed towards 7 Denton Street, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Just now, through hypnosis, he already knew the information of that group of guys.
In fact, they were just four low-level thugs. Seeing that he was alone and dressed like a rich man, they decided to blackmail him.
It was that simple, no conspiracy or trickery, no culprit behind the scenes. He originally thought that some big fish had fallen into his trap, but in the end, he was happy for nothing.
But he didn't kill these people.
After all, we have just arrived, and we cannot make too much noise because of such a small matter.
The guy he hypnotized would remember nothing when he woke up.
"I have to remind Floyd when I get back that the security around here is too bad."
Chen Lun thought.
Although there are patrolling guards here, their work attitude is definitely not even one-tenth of that in the inner city.
When he was about a block away from the flower shop, he suddenly heard a faint scream.
Through the light of a street lamp not far away, Chen Lun saw a figure being beaten in the corner.
"Are you sure this isn't called Gotham City?"
A thought flashed through his mind.
How come I encountered this kind of thing twice when I just went out for a stroll today?
"…Remember, kid, if you don't pay the money tomorrow, your body will be found in the sewage ditch at the bottom of the river."
"Ahem, ahem... Stop hitting me. I will pay you back tomorrow!"
As Chen Lun approached, he suddenly found that the guy who was beaten looked a little familiar.
Looking closely, I found that it was the neighbor I met when I went out, a young man named Kent.
He looked a little miserable now, kneeling on the ground with a bruised face and nose, begging the two men in leather jackets and tights in front of him.
"Oh, we actually know that you have no money...
How about this, we can give you an idea.
As long as you introduce the girl who lives in the same building as you to the Flower and Bird Tavern, you don't have to pay back the money for the time being, how about that? "
The man said sinisterly.
"You mean Connie? Well... I don't know her well. "
"Not familiar? You are kidding!"
After that, the two men punched and kicked Kent again.
The two men didn't stop until Kent screamed until his voice was hoarse and he kept begging.
"I...I was indeed a classmate of hers before, but I dropped out after only two months of classes."
Kent gasped and spoke with difficulty.
Seeing that the two men were about to raise their hands to hit him again, Kent said quickly:
“But I know where she works, and I know the boss there.
I can make her lose her job first, and then... and force her to go to your territory!"
After saying this, Kent seemed relieved, he let out a long sigh and leaned against the wall to rest.
"Very good, then we will wait for your news. Be careful not to delay too long, otherwise you will be in trouble!"
The two men threatened and turned away.
Chen Lun seemed to have heard something, and originally he was not going to pay attention and go back. But as neighbors, he went forward to ask about the situation.
"Hey, need some help?"
Chen Lun tried to speak in a gentle tone.
Unexpectedly, Kent glared at him fiercely, lowered his head gloomily, and muttered something.
Chen Lun shrugged silently, it seemed that it was not necessary.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the street. Chen Lun looked in the direction and saw a young girl passing by and looking over here.
She had a small and pretty face, but at this moment she looked at Chen Lun with disgust, then quickly left.
"???"
Chen Lun was bewildered.
Why do you look at me like that?
He turned to look at Pig-Head Kent and immediately understood something.
I won't be considered a gangster who blackmails others, right?
The clown is actually me! ?
