Examination of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 82
“Mad.” Alvin said silently in his heart, looking at Yuumi’s gesture.
Involuntarily, the provocateur followed the panicked crowd, ran out of the open space in front of the Dockers’ Association, found an unoccupied corner, and after praying sincerely, hit the stone wall with his head directly twice, abruptly knocking himself out. crashed into a corner.
As the carriage drove, Alvin was full of thoughts. Looking at the busy flow of people on the street outside the car window, he couldn’t help thinking of the boy he met at the pier yesterday.
“It’s better to go to the warehouse tonight and get enough evidence to convince the punisher, not just for the teacher…”
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Alvin returned to Citrus Street. After changing his clothes, he destroyed the worker’s clothes.
I went to the nearby restaurant called “Haitang Flavor” that Alvin used to go to. I ordered my favorite flavored roast pork ribs, a cup of black tea, a mashed potato, and a white bread, and brought it to Yumi. Pan-fried cod with a glass of milk.
After lunch, he went back to the rental apartment to rest, refreshed his spirits, and recovered the spirituality he had consumed today.
…………………………..
South District, cargo ship warehouse wharf.
Alvin wore a black over-the-knee windbreaker with a hood, a wide hood strap over his head to cover his face with Yuumi, and walked on a dimly lit street where only a few gas street lights were still functioning.
In the apartments on both sides, a little candlelight shone down, intertwined with the crimson moonlight that had difficulty penetrating the clouds and mist, barely outlining the outlines of pedestrians on the road.
Alvin met passers-by whose clothes were outdated and tattered, and their expressions were numb and hopeless. They were homeless people driven by the police.
They have nowhere to sleep, and can only walk aimlessly on the streets, occasionally taking the opportunity to find an unobtrusive corner or a walkway chair in a park to rest for a while, but they will soon be blasted away.
In the cold and deep night, Alvin felt that they were more like living corpses than the living corpses he had ever seen.
Hidden in the shadow of the Intis plane trees on the side of the road, after dodging a wave of patrolling police, he continued to move quickly toward the warehouse area in the shadow that was not illuminated by the gas street lamps.
The pier in the dark is not so quiet. There are still many cargo ships on the coast with torches, directing the workers to continue unloading the goods.
According to the news from the little boy down the street and the “Instigator” who was destroyed today, Alvin successfully arrived near the target.
Hiding in the shadow of a warehouse, with a few gas lamps, I observed a bright construction site not far away. The surface looked normal, and the warehouse seemed to be not small in size. It was three sizes of the warehouse I went to today. Many workers are busy in and out of the night.
Alvin hesitated whether to continue approaching, and suddenly said with a smile: “At this time, we should learn from the Fool.”
He took out three gold coins from his pocket and began to formulate the ‘fixed fortune’ statement.
“I can go ahead and explore.”
Repeat six times, toss the money six times.
After Alvin broke the hexagram, Gen hexagram.
In this hexagram, two mountains stand side by side and do not communicate with each other. It is an image of cessation.
“No, there may be unknown dangers ahead, but if you don’t go past, how can you convince the punisher?”
Thinking carefully about the hexagram he got, Alvin pursed his lips. He didn’t know what the instigator said, the current state of the blond man, that guy is likely to carry, the strange thing hatched from the meat is a bit difficult. manage.
Otherwise, at this distance, he can completely open his spiritual vision, and he can see it at a glance.
At this moment, a carriage came from the side, Alvin and Yuumi quickly dodged and hid to the other side. The carriage came to a slow stop on the edge of the construction site.
Alvin leaned on his side in the shadows, leaning against the warehouse wall, looking not far from the corner of his eye. After the driver stopped the car, the curtain opened and a person got off the carriage.
The blond “hunchback” Alvin’s pupils shrank, and he quickly turned his eyes away.
This may be the warehouse owner that the “instigator” said, afraid of causing the other party to be alert, Alvin, dare not look at it any more.
“Fortunately, I didn’t go in. Otherwise, I might have been blocked there. If this hunchback can’t find it, maybe the strange things he took away may be.”
Alvin intends to wait and see what else he finds.
After a while, he heard cheers coming from the original construction site in the distance, and then he heard workers passing by on the street behind him one after another. He listened carefully to the conversations of the workers passing by.
“This boss is too generous. I used to have to earn three weeks’ wages for one day’s wages this time.”
“No, it’s still a kind person, let’s go home early to rest.”
“But why is the working time changed to the afternoon tomorrow?”
“The boss is asking us to rest more, don’t worry about it so much, just give us money, just like today, we can find a job like 1 pound a day.”
“Yes, hey! Wait for me, it’s safer for us to go together. The salary here is relatively high, and it is settled every day. Many people who went back at night have disappeared, and may be targeted by robbers, like ‘crazy thugs’ ‘that kind of.”
“How can there be that many ‘crazy thugs’, you said they were beaten to death by the police a few days ago.”
“………”
The conversation got farther and farther, and Alvin frowned and said:
“When I went to the workers’ association by myself today, didn’t I let the workers work all night? And listening to their conversation has now given money? Tomorrow afternoon… There is a problem.”
After another half an hour, the construction site in front became silent, except for the occasional sneeze of the horses in the carriage.
Alvin moved his eyes slowly~www.mtlnovel.com~ and saw the blond man standing in front of the warehouse and waiting for a while, then slowly walked into the warehouse.
The blond man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked at the warehouse in front of him with a gentle smile. After looking around for no one, he turned his head and instructed the driver:
“Be careful, don’t let anyone get close.”
“Okay sir.” After the driver answered, the blond man turned around and walked into the warehouse.
After closing the door, the man slowly opened his black robe, revealing dozens of pairs of eyes, some on his arms and some on his back. These eyes seemed to be growing on his body, and there was no trace of implantation.
The strange thing is that these eyes are all turning, as if they are looking around, and there is a red blood vessel under the skin of each eye, like a blood-red network, which has been connected to the constantly wriggling flesh on the back.
The blond man looked at the several workers on the ground who were controlled by the black shadow of himself as a glue-packed substance, and smiled:
“People really only see the things they care about in front of them. They all think that those people are missing on the road, and they don’t notice at all. Those people never left in the first place.”
Looking at the frightened eyes of the people on the ground, their mouths were blocked by a layer of black material, and they could not make a sound.
“You should be honored to be the Lord’s sacrifice.” Feeling the constant beating behind him, the man’s mouth opened wider, and the smile on his face was gentler.
“It’s time to start.” As he slowly approached the dozens of eyes on his body, he turned to look at a few people on the ground at the same time, and then the **** of flesh on his back began to bulge frantically. They were mixed with blood vessels and veins, like a corpse that was about to burst. Open the skin of the skull.
Alvin, who was observing from a distance, saw the hunchback man entering the warehouse out of the corner of his eyes, and there was no movement.
