   Chapter 224 Big House District

The houses in the big house area are not big. Lorna drove the off-road vehicle all the way. Gu He saw that the houses on the street were almost all low-rise concrete buildings with several floors, some like rough houses, and some whole. The exterior walls are painted in different colors.

  Those blue, green, red and other whole wall paints have no vitality, they are already old and starting to crack and peel.

   The streets are messy, so the traffic is slow.

   Crooked telephone poles, fallen wires, clotheslines pulled by residents, and clothes like rags hang outside.

   There are also roadside stalls. There are a bunch of them here, and a bunch of them there. There are some voodoo culture-related products everywhere, such as masks, voodoo dolls, puppets, human bones, animal bones and so on.

   "It's all deceitful stuff." Vivian said, "It doesn't have any extraordinary effects, it can only be used as an ornament."

   Lies or not, Gu Heke doesn't plan to buy them, those skulls, grimace dolls, etc., just look at people.

   Why would someone hang this kind of thing on the bedside of the bedroom, doesn't that start with fright every day?

   But the most chaotic situation on the street is the situation brought by people, there are no traffic lights, no traffic rules.

   Some passersby walked by with their heads on their heads, while others walked around with stereos and roller shoes. The stereo was playing reggae music, and the lyrics were about drugs and women.

   "Liuguang City is not our homeland, let's return to Fudu City and rebuild Vodou, so that our souls will be free!"

   Over there, a tall and thin black man shouted, kneeling on the ground and screaming in the sky when he was excited.

   "The Rastafarian sect." Vivian added, "It advocates returning to the Voodoo City, but who would listen."

Voodoo is a black religion in the old world. Voodoo City and Voodoo District are dominated by black-skinned people, but mixed-race people can be seen everywhere, and in any area of ​​Liuguang City, people of all skin colors and ethnic groups live together. exception.

   "Look over there." Vivian pointed in a direction, "A group of house prostitutes."

  Gu He looked out of the car window and saw a group of scantily clad girls standing on the street, smoking cigarettes, full of tattoos, and bored eyes. Some of the thin figures were obviously underage girls.

   "In this city, you can see the local economic level from the prostitutes." Vivian said with a smile, "The big house area is a little better than the mud pond, but only a little."

  Pandora's breathing suddenly became louder, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

  The most expensive prostitutes in the city are of course in the central district, in places like Heavenly Light.

   "The last few men won't destroy them. Drugs will." Vivian continued, "Look at those guys with rotten teeth. At first glance, they are poisonous ghosts. They are controlled by gangs with drugs."

   "I understand what you mean, you and Nimiao are not dirty, it's awesome, right?" Lornaqie said.

   "I won't deny this." Vivian accepted the compliment, "Nine out of ten girls in the Voodoo District are standing on the street. The champion is still the Sludge Pond, and all ten there are on the street."

  In other districts, the drug trade may be a little sneaky, but in the voodoo district it is almost overt.

   There are some voodoo gang members on the street collecting money and selling small bags of stuff.

Not far away, there was a skinny poisonous ghost who was addictedly rolling and howling, begging for poison, but was only kicked and beaten by those voodoo men, and the end would only be a large piece of garbage in the garbage heap. Feed countless flies.

   "This place is really bad." Gu He frowned and sighed.

   In comparison, Kabukicho is considered a paradise on earth, and the Walled District is indeed not a sin city.

   "Even street dogs, there are many kinds." Vivian said, "There are really a lot of villains here."

  Suddenly, someone on the street rushed out of a store after looting, with a pistol and a bag of change in their hands. The store owner yelled and cursed at the back, and passersby didn't respond.

   A change fell on the ground, and was immediately picked up by a homeless man, and he and the boss refused to return it.

   There are far more homeless people on the streets than in Kabukicho, sleeping on the street in twos or threes, or sitting in a daze.

   This is a near-collapse place.

   But Gu He knew a little bit that Fudu City was once prosperous, and its economy and culture were very influential and promising.

  Then the bank took action, and because of the alternate era theory, the eighth era will replace the seventh era theory.

  The voodoo culture that is considered to be the leader of the Eighth Epoch has always been suppressed and poisoned, whether it is a voodoo city or a voodoo area. How much confusion here is actually caused by the banks.

   "The big house, the big house, that's where good Bundy lives." Vivian hummed again, in tune with the chaotic and noisy sounds from the street.

   "This road is like shit." Lorna slapped the steering wheel cursingly, "How do we go, where do we go first?"

   What they are looking for this trip is the key program segment numbered 7.

  Number 7 corresponds to the seventh house, the main occupation is blood eater, and there is no side door.

But of course the person who was responsible for keeping this program was not a blood eater, he was also a member of the Mystery Bureau. He had already died, but he had a son who survived and grew up in the voodoo zone. Help close.

  Pandora can find these clues, and it was originally Flynn who had contact with some descendants at that time.

   After she started working, she found them one by one.

   "Let's go to the Good Bundy's first to find a middleman. Better to have a middleman than none."

  Vivian pointed to the road, and Lorna followed.

   There are countless bars in the area called "Good Bondi", and they went to the Good Bondi Bar on Mambo Street.

   The car has driven a long way, and the road conditions and surrounding environment have not changed much, but it is still so chaotic and depressed. However, the closer you get to the center of the district, the more high-rise buildings begin to appear, most of which are apartment buildings full of people.

   "Each high-rise building can also be regarded as a big house." Vivian explained again, "These high-rise buildings you can see belong to the territory controlled by a certain gang, and sometimes there are direct fires and fights between buildings."

   The more Gu He saw and heard here, the more he felt that Elizabeth had something to say.

  Yakuza is a violent group, but will Kabukicho be better without Yakuza, no.

  I wonder if Luozhou really has a pure land...

   He began to have some doubts about this. Judging from the situation in Liuguang City, the more remote the area, the worse it seemed.

  On Mambo Street, there is a little bustling scene. Although the road and various urban facilities are still sparse, there are some neon signs and more vehicles. The street is also full of prostitutes, homeless and poisonous ghosts.

  Good Bondy Bar is on the street with a giant thumbs up neon sign: GoodBondye

  Lorna's off-road vehicle can't be parked casually, this kind of out-of-town car will be robbed after a while.

   Don't talk about the things in the car, the tires will definitely be removed, and if you stay for a while, someone will definitely use a chainsaw to saw off all the edges and corners of the car, as well as all the broken copper and iron.

   It was Vivian who got out of the car first, went to chat with the janitor at the bar, and gave some money to help watch.

When   Lorna got out of the car and walked away, she looked back at the heavy-duty off-road vehicle and was really worried.

  Gu He knew that she treasured this car very much. After all, according to her, she had slept in this car at night for the past two years.

  The three followed Vivian into the Good Bondi bar, where vocal music was lively, but the light was dark, and one wall was covered with skulls tied with straw ropes and wires, as well as many voodoo cultural things.

   There is a row of seats next to the L-shaped bar, and there are some weird stone-carved corpses beside the chairs, like having fun with the drinkers.

   Some of them have a dance floor, and some men and women are dancing to pop music, dressed in the style of Mumbeau-La Paz.

   "Vivian!" Suddenly someone saw the group of people walking in with sharp eyes.

  Vivian smiled and told Gu He and the others, that's it, Chao Dance Gang, and now she introduced everyone to each other.

   When the few super dancers heard that he was the fierce Gu He, they all screamed and screamed.

   "You know, no wonder Nimue is so confident that he can be **** by him!" the man named Bagman shouted.

  What the hell! ? Gu He was stunned, feeling like he was about to die, Nimiao was talking nonsense.

  Lorna stood beside her with her arms crossed, "Should we dance first?"

   In the end, the dance was not performed. The four of them sat down at the bar and talked to Radha, the bar owner who was also the middleman. Bagman and the others continued to go back to the dance floor and twist their bodies.

  Radha is a middle-aged man with dark skin and some traces of mixed blood. He is not tall, with an explosive head and a kind expression.

   "My friends are going to make a deal with the Voodoo Gang." Vivian said, "Radha, can you arrange it?"

   "The voodoo gang, you have to be careful, they won't have any admiration for your ability to overturn the Metropolitan Police Department, they will only be interested in what good things you have in you to do that."

  Radha has a husky voice and can be a little slurred when he speaks fast, but he generally speaks slowly.

   He poured a glass of beer for each of the four, and it was his invitation, so he paid tribute to the top war.

   "Yakuza can help you say hello. Do you think it's better to say hello or not?"

  Vivian added that they had talked about it on the way, and she thought it would be better not to say hello first.

  Because the voodoo gang won't buy it, try to keep this matter low-key and normal, but it will go more smoothly.

   "In Kabukicho, Yakuza is the largest, and in the big house area, Yakuza is not a gang."

  Rada really meant the same thing, "I'm a middleman, I won't tell you too much, I just want to remind you that there are rules here and styles here."

  Gu He didn't drink beer, he took a sip of wolfberry water with a thermos cup.

   The Nagano team always wanted to help Rodden-Ludd to come back to life and to help him wherever he could.

   Elizabeth couldn't help much, and it would be even more troublesome to attract the vultures of the bank.

   Anyway, Vivian believes that if the voodoo gang knows that they have worked so hard to find someone, the voodoo gang will realize that the person is very valuable, and it is likely that they will make things difficult and raise prices.

   It's best to just let Pandora show up, and neither he nor Lorna make a sound.

   "What kind of deal are you trying to do?" Rada asked.

  Vivian nodded to Lorna, Radha is reputable, and there is no other middleman in this area more reliable than him.

   And the Super Dance Gang has a good relationship with Radha. Although this place is not as good as a fish pond, it is not a random place.

"We're going to redeem someone," Lorna said, drinking a beer. "The guy's nickname is 'The Surf Worm,' he's a dancer and a cyber cowboy. He's been caught stealing from the Voodoo gang, but he's got what we want."

   "Surfing worm..." Radha nodded silently, "I haven't heard of it."

   Vivian had said before that she didn't know or heard who the surf worm was.

  The Voodoo District is the place with the most and the most mixed street characters, and hundreds of new street legends can be generated in a week.

   For the house boy here, to make a name for himself on the street, make his nickname loud, and then enter the big house because of this, there is a lot of money to spend with a lot of women, this is the voodoo version of Liuguangmeng.

   It’s just that, nine times out of ten, they become corpses that rot and burst open in the garbage dumps on the side of the road.

  The surfing worm is an extraordinary person, and his business is different from that of ordinary people, and his death should be a little more heroic.

   "What do we need to do to get someone like him back from the Voodoo Gang?" Pandora asked.

   Surf Worm is about the same age as them. After the accident, he escaped to the voodoo area and grew up.

"It depends on what he stole." Rada said while wiping the skeleton statue on the bar: "Steal some drugs, steal a few guns, steal a prosthesis, steal a woman, these are all Not much.

   "But you say he's a cyber cowboy. The cyber cowboy likes to steal data the most, and data involves secrets. If he stole data such as personality materials, it's hard to say."

   "It shouldn't be that serious." Vivian shrugged, "Otherwise, if he chopped him into meat sauce and fed it to the dog, would he still be able to keep it?"

   "What are you going to use to redeem him?" Radha asked again.

   "Money." Pandora said simply and directly, "If you can buy it back with money, you can buy it back with money."

   Although this is indeed the easiest and least troublesome solution.

   But Gu He sounds a little painful, money, even if the voodoo gang doesn't have to raise the price, it could be several million...

   Now his total net worth is only 1.2 million, and 300,000 was just given by Miss Ayane, a thank you gift from the Nagano team.

  Lorna, don't say it, a poor guy, 10,000 yuan owed to him has not been given yet.

  Pandora had saved a lot of money before, and he didn't know how much, but she said that she wouldn't give it all, and she wouldn't even make a big one. What she meant was that if Lorna did not borrow it from Yakuza, Yakuza would definitely borrow it.

   "Lada, you can ask for a price first." Lorna said, "Don't wear our bottoms yet."

   "Little girl, I understand this, surfing worm, remember it." Lada responded, turned around and walked out of the L-shaped bar, and walked into the bar to contact them, letting them do whatever they want first.

   "Come on, Da He, I'll teach you how to dance the mangbo dance. That time you danced with the red-haired Liz, but it was too stiff."

  Vivian got up immediately and wanted to pull the stunned Gu He towards the dance floor, "Be stiff with me too."

   "I'll dance with you!" Lorna drank a gulp of beer and stood up.
