MTL - The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain-Chapter 3 Emerald
‘Nonsense. What religion would require so many people to worship. ’Li Anping looked at the driver ’s panicked face, shook his head and said,“ What is that shadow teaching? I ’ve never heard of it. ”
"I don't know, really ... really, the Shadow Sect is an ancient sect in the Emerald City. It is said that they were the masters of the Emerald City before the Great Summer.
Their favorite is to kill the living people by sacrificing them to please their god. But more than a hundred years ago, after Da Xia's army hit the southern Xinjiang, it ruled the entire emerald city, and the Shadow Religion was annihilated as a cult. Apart from the legends left, there is no longer any record of the Shado-ism. Older locals know this. "
安 Li Anping became even more confused after listening. I did not expect that this human trafficking incident would involve ancient cults. It seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.
At the moment, he asked the driver a few more things. When he found out that the other party didn't know more, he gently touched the other's arm. After eating the driver's soul, he threw the body casually on the nearby mountain road. Then he ran and rushed towards the Emerald City.
He wants to kill the lone wolf and wipe out all the human trafficking criminal organizations here.
Uh ...
Uh ...
After three hours, the long-distance station in Emerald City.
安 Li Anping stepped out of an alley, and the two babies fell to the ground behind him, and kept talking. And Li Anping's face was hazy.
This is the third thief he saw after getting off the coach station. He had imagined how many criminals and how high the crime rate in the Emerald City. Seeing that he had actually reached this place, he knew that he had already thought too simple.
I looked up, the gray haze covered the sky, not to mention a trace of starlight, the entire sky could not see the moon. This was caused by the large-scale uncontrolled factory drainage in the city. Various gray and black gases emerged from the chimney and were released to the sky wantonly. In such places, no one manages the pollution at all.
In the station, there are rags and cold-faced citizens everywhere. The innocence and childlikeness were not visible on the faces of the only few children. Because they are not playing on the street, they are surrounded by passengers getting off the bus and asking for property. After being scolded, I was not upset, just changed another passenger and then begged. The numbness and accidents on their faces made Li Anping chilling.
There were many pedestrians on the road, but they walked on their own. They acted hurriedly, looked indifferent, and never asked about the surroundings. Li Anping asked several times for directions, but they were ignored by the other party.
On the street, the shops on both sides of the street are colorful and endless, but most of the shops around the station are one or two exposed women standing at the door. When they see the well-dressed Li Anping, they cheer loudly and walk towards Li Anping bowed his head.
"Handsome guy! Come in and play!"
"Handsome guy, come in and sister to hurt you."
What's more, in the presence of everyone, they took off their coats and exposed a pair of plump little white rabbits jumping out, attracting the citizens on the street.
安 Li Anping glanced at them and left quickly. It's more messy than he thought. In the face of such self-willed fallen people, he did not know what to do.
黑 He seemed particularly happy in this atmosphere. He asked, ‘Hey, why do n’t you teach them? Is it your heart? ’
‘They ’re ... just forced by life. ”Li Anping pondered and said,‘ It ’s not a big deal. ’
'up to you. But this is really a good place. I feel the air is full of the smell of crime. And it has developed very prosperously, and it is not inferior to all of China. It really makes me shiver with excitement! ’
安 Li Anping nodded without denying. He was right. Although the environment is terrible, the citizens seem more indifferent and the crime rate is surprisingly high. But the Emerald City is indeed prosperous. Looking up, you can see the towering buildings in the southeast and northwest, and the elevated roads are as dense as spider webs.
Especially now it is night. If you look at it from a height, the entire emerald city is a sea of lights. It's just like daylight. This situation is even more extreme in urban centers. From the underground to the ground, there are all kinds of shops for clothing, food, housing, and even including yellow, gambling, and poison.
From beautiful virgins, to extinct animals, and even the armed forces eliminated in the army, you can buy them here. It's a paradise for criminals.
安 Li Anping hit a car on the street and rushed towards the place where the trafficker gave him the stolen goods. The sight of evil and prosperity dancing in the Emerald City made him unexplainably restless.
Bian Ke continued to instill information into him. Fifty meters away, a heavily-dressed prostitute was fighting in the alley with three men, and their breathing sounded like Li Anping's ear.
One hundred meters away, a man robbed a woman's bag and fled, but within a few steps he was shot dead by a woman who had taken out his gun. The woman picked up the bag, kicked the man's body, scolded him, and left. The people around him seemed to be strange, not even a police person.
At a casino passing by, a man in a suit jumped from a window and was killed on the spot. Several big men hurried out of the door and dragged the man's body back. They discussed with whom to sell human organs to pay his debts.
Emerald City, everything here is in the appearance of sin, hiding a rule that is unique to them. Everyone behaves according to rules, even to outsiders, how absurd these rules are.
Li Anping's eyes looked out the window, his ears were listening to the sound. For the first time, he felt a sense of being unable to curb his sin by his own strength.
Because there are too many, the Emerald City is a crime full of eyes, and a sinful eye. Can he really come over alone?
安 Li Anping gradually began to think. Think about how to change the situation in the Emerald City. For the first time, the idea of what should be done to change the world was actually presented in front of him.
He used to say that he wanted to maintain justice, but his idea was simple: to kill bad people and help good people. But he came to the Emerald City, when crime and death lined up in front of him. He understands that it is not simply killing bad guys that can change the world and uphold justice.
He needs some more sophisticated and effective means.
After half an hour, the car stopped and interrupted Li Anping's thinking. When he got out of the car, the taxi could not wait to drive away, it seemed as dangerous as it was here. Looking around, Li Anping found that the destination was a somewhat remote area. Around it are dilapidated buildings and abandoned factories.
The fence was covered with graffiti of unknown meaning. In the distance, there are some homeless people gathered in pairs. From time to time, I looked coldly at Li Anping, who got off the train.
There are several old residential buildings a few hundred meters away. There are several grocery stores and convenience supermarkets downstairs.
安 Li Anping glanced and walked towards the destination. It was an abandoned building. The door was rusty and locked by a large iron lock.
安 Li Anping frowned, which was different from the information he had received from the driver in advance. He didn't hear anyone in the building.
虽然 Although it is not as lively as the city center, it should not be so desolate. As one of the strongholds for women and children who have been trafficked by the lone wolf, it should not be left alone.
He touched the iron lock on the door, looked around, and then with a little force, he pulled the iron lock apart. Pushing the door open, Li Anping walked in.
废弃 This five-story abandoned building was originally built as a nursing home. So the first floor is an office, and the second to fourth floors are all bedroom-like rooms.
安 Li Anping didn't notice the existence of people, he could only sweep a room. Open the office on the first floor and drink half the coffee on the table. I flipped through the drawers and filing cabinets and found nothing inside. Only some **** magazines and utility books can be found.
At the back of the office, a rectangular object was covered by a black cloth. In the dark, he would almost be missed if he didn't pay attention.
安 Li Anping smelled a pungent odor coming from his nose. There was a bad feeling in his brain, and he reached out and opened Heibula, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
It was a humble cell built with an iron cage. It is only one meter high and about two meters wide. People can only lie down or lie on their backs. There was also a small pot on the ground, which looked like leftovers with a stinky smell.
There were still some red blood stains around the iron cage. A puddle of feces and urine smelled from the cage.
A corpse of a dwarfed child lay on the cage like this, and a large swarm of ants crawled on him, exposing the bones.
It is hard to imagine how much torture and torture he had suffered in front of him ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Li Anping re-covered the black cloth, his face was blue, his fists were white. But he didn't say the last word, but just exhaled deeply and checked the other corners of the office.
But Li Anping's actions found nothing. From the messy office, the people here seemed to evacuate, but took all the information away without leaving anything useful.
安 So Li Anping went upstairs and planned to inspect all the bedrooms. The corridor was dim, and Li Anping tried the pilot light switch and found nothing.
But with his current eyesight, everything can be seen at a glance, even in the dark corridors. He opened one of the bedrooms on the second floor, and the environment inside was as bad as he expected.
Those traffickers do not treat people who have been abducted at all. The excreta everywhere can be seen as dark blood. The bedroom had nothing but a bed. All the windows were nailed by wooden boards, and neither could see the outside, nor could the sun shine in.
According to the trafficker driver, people who are sent here can only eat one meal a day, and those who resist fiercely will be given sleeping pills. Everyone has been in a state of limb weakness and can only lie in bed. There is neither a bath nor a toilet, and those who care for them often clean their bedrooms only a few months.
Only when taking them out to see the seller will they have a chance to take a bath.
Such a bedroom can leave fewer clues. The only gain of Li Anping was to find several people with nails or blood, and engraved their names and origins on the wall and the edge of the bed.
