Resurrection Empire

Chapter 69 From passive to active, the devil’s smile [First order of 5,000 words requested! 】

As an aloof academic demon, Ren Zhong has always been very active.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand so many temptations and excel academically at the same time.

For many things, if he thinks it is necessary to do it, he must do it, and the sooner the better.

For example, the fraudster who sold broken guns and then beat to death a young boy who wanted his money back and sought justice.

Last night, Ren Zhong suddenly had murderous thoughts.

But yesterday he was in no rush to take action.

He is actually thinking about it too.

Logically, the man had no chance of doing evil this time.

So should such a person pay the price for the sins he would have committed but did not commit?

This is an unsolvable paradox.

As a person who grew up in the 21st century, although Ren Zhong is determined to change himself and integrate into the times, the traces left by the legal society still remain in his heart.

This is the basic instinct of being a human being, and the burden is barely being overcome.

He has both distant lofty ideals and the difficult reality he sees before him.

He can neither be the Virgin nor the Butcher.

These are all real contradictions in him.

But tonight Ren Zhong finally made a decision.

He wanted to investigate first and see what happened.

Someone once said, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak."

He was taking the initiative.

A true revolutionary cannot sit back and wait, cannot be passive, must be decisive, must have firm convictions, and must also be proactive and aggressive.

True liberation will never come passively, because vested interests will never give up their country out of pity.

Liberation only begins with the first gunshot.

Ren Zhong had already figured these things out last time.

What he is doing now is just further improving what he thinks in his heart and putting it into practice.

After eight o'clock at night, Ren Zhong, Zheng Tian and Wen Lei were walking in the slum alleys of Nancheng District.

"Mr. Ren, what are we doing here?"

Zheng Tian asked.

She didn't know about the private communication between Ren Zhong and Sun Miao, and she was a little confused.

Ren Zhong said casually: "Since I want to settle here in the future, I'd better walk around the town more and see the customs. I'm afraid something will happen, so I ask you and Wen Lei to accompany me."

Another purpose of his was to continue to hold Zheng Tian back from going to the flea market.

He not only got bodyguards, but also held Zheng Tian back, killing two birds with one stone. It can be said that he was very clever.

The three of them passed by a street corner.

The sewer cover at the corner of the street was opened, and the smell of corpses wafted out.

There were several people in cleaner uniforms nearby, placing a decomposed corpse onto a medium-sized transport drone.

Someone must have been secretly killed and stuffed inside a long time ago, and they were not discovered until the corpse smell emitted.

It happens to be covered here, and it is a corner where the "Eye of Sauron" in the center of the town cannot be seen.

Ren Zhong keenly noticed that the Tianling cover of the corpse had been lifted long ago, and there was no brain inside.

He noticed the factors, which showed that the eavesdropping of the watch and the surveillance of the "Magic Eye" belonged to different systems.

Hunters are indeed only responsible for collecting brains and suppressing unstable factors. They are not responsible for collecting corpses, and they do not participate in law enforcement.

Zheng Tian pinched her nose and said sullenly: "Ah, it stinks! Let's just go shopping elsewhere. What are we doing here? The smell is too strong, far worse than our alley. This place has no customs. I can see it.”

Wen Lei didn't say anything, he only looked around vigilantly, fully demonstrating the professional qualities of a part-time bodyguard.

He had forgotten that because of his size, there were not many low-level desolate people in the town who dared to stir up trouble.

The three of them turned another corner and arrived at Alley No. 17.

Ren Zhong didn't know exactly where the scammer was, so he could only walk along the alley and look all the way.

The alley was extremely dilapidated, comparable to the alley where his own wooden house near the city wall was located.

The messy house was swaying here and there.

People in ragged clothes, young and old, were either lying boredly under the eaves, or huddled in half-collapsed houses that could not protect them from the wind and rain.

There was a rustling sound from inferior TV speakers in some houses.

In some houses, the chorus of men and women echoed repeatedly, and there was no soundproofing at all.

Almost to the end of the alley, Ren Zhong finally saw a relatively decent one-story board house.

It's square and square, and looks similar. It's not as good as Renzhong's board house, let alone the team's courtyard, but it's a well-deserved mansion in this street.

Ren Zhong guessed that this should be the liar's home.

Ren Zhong could see from a distance that the unstable "mansion" wooden house was shaking slightly with some strange rhythm.

Ren Zhong rubbed his chin and was wondering whether he should ask someone to inquire casually or knock on the door directly to interrogate him, when he heard the patter of footsteps on the other side of the street corner.

Wearing a loose men's shirt with leaks and only a pair of shorts that could not cover her thighs, a girl stepped out with a panicked look on her face and rushed towards the boarded house.

The girl is very thin and has messy hair. She must be only twelve or thirteen years old.

She also held a small, palm-sized bottle in her hand, which looked familiar. It should be some kind of medicine sold at the Miaoshou Rejuvenation Clinic.

"Wait and see what happens."

Ren Zhong raised his hand and led Wen Lei and Zheng Tian into the gap between the two rooms next to him.

Then he stuck his head out, leaned forward, and stared at the door over there through the holes in his clothes hanging under the eaves.

The girl had already rushed to the door.

She raised her fist first.

The fist feinted twice in mid-air, then spread out into palms.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The girl lightly knocked on the door with the back of her finger and said cautiously in a moderately pleading tone: "Mr. Huang, are you at home? Are you at home? I have something to ask you. Are you at home?"

There was no movement at the door.

The shaking in the room stopped briefly, but soon resumed.

The girl waited for more than ten seconds, and then looked down at the empty bottle in her left hand. The anxious look in her eyes became more intense, and the small fist in her right hand clenched and unclenched.

At this time, the door to the opposite room opened, and a head with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks poked out.

"Tsk tsk, another little unlucky guy. I advise you not to knock on the door. Hey hey hey, are you really stupid? Didn't you see other people doing things? Besides, he won't pay attention to you even if he is here. You should leave quickly. Otherwise It won't be a good thing for you if he opens the door later."

The girl shook her head repeatedly and said: "No. I can't leave, I have to ask things clearly. This medicine is useless at all, it has expired! My father's injury not only did not heal, but it became infected and inflamed! Now my father is dying!" I have to find a way to save him!"

After saying that, the girl seemed to no longer hesitate, gritted her teeth, turned around, and slammed the door with her fists, making a loud bang.

She no longer spoke softly, but shouted: "Mr. Huang, come out! Come out! How can you sell expired medicine to me? Come out!"

This time, the shaking of the house finally stopped.

Nearly a minute later, the door suddenly opened from the inside out.

The girl standing at the door was hit hard by the door panel. She screamed in pain and flew backwards, falling into the middle of the alley.

She immediately stood up from a reclined position.

Ren Zhong saw that the half of her face that had been hit suddenly turned red, and the left hand holding the bottle on the same side was trembling.

She was hit hard.

"What the fuck, are you looking for death? Didn't you see me doing something? If you keep pushing me too hard, believe it or not, I will crush you to death?"

The sweaty, shirtless, muscular man wearing only a pair of loose beach shorts cursed and stood up from the door of the relatively short wooden house, glaring condescendingly at the girl on the ground.

The girl raised her neck and supported her left hand, which had become rapidly red and swollen. She raised the bottle tremblingly and said while crying: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, I really didn't mean to disturb you. This medicine is wrong, it has expired. Please." You. Help me, help my dad. He is unconscious now, he is going to die!"

As the girl yelled, many windows or doors of the surrounding houses opened, and heads popped out one after another.

Some people even happily walked onto the street, stood next to it, and playfully ate the melon at close range.

Another unlucky guy, and something exciting to watch, which is really good.

The strong man surnamed Huang grinned, "It's none of my business if your father wants to die. I told you clearly at the time that this bottle of medicine was left over from my use. Brand new ones at the clinic cost 5 points. I have some leftovers. One-third, I only charge 1 point when I sell it to you. You should call me a great philanthropist. I was almost moved to tears by myself. As for whether it has expired or not, I have no control over it. You didn’t ask at the time, right? ?”

The girl was speechless, "This..."

She instinctively felt that what the other person said was wrong, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, she couldn't speak to him at all.

The neighbor with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks from before continued to tease him, "You little wretch, please leave quickly. No one in our street knows that Lao Huang never sells good products. How dare you buy from him? This I’m just teaching you a lesson. You’re still young, so I’ll help you grow up. Hehe, just don’t be stupid in the future.”

At this moment, a woman walked out of the door behind the strong man named Huang.

The woman was naked, holding a loose bathrobe in her hand. She casually put it on her body as she walked, cursing.

"What a shame, there's so much nonsense. My time is up, and I can't wait for you."

The strong man surnamed Huang turned around quickly, "No! Stop! I haven't..."

"I'm standing there. It's none of my business that you're just dawdling away? My time is not money? If I don't let you go, how about you pay more? You're so poor and you have so much shit to do. Just go and have fun with yourself."

The strong man surnamed Huang took two steps and grabbed the woman's clothes, "You are not allowed to leave!"

The woman turned back and glanced at him disdainfully, "What? You dare to touch me? Have you asked my brother? Do you want to die?"

Finally, under the resentful and aggrieved gaze of the strong man surnamed Huang, the woman walked away in a swaggering manner.

The strong man surnamed Huang turned to look at the girl again, his eyes changed.

He squatted down with a smile and said softly, "That's it. Your dad is really pitiful. I'm not an unreasonable person. I still have an unopened bottle of medicine at home. You play with me tonight, and I'll play I’m so happy, I’ll give it to you for free. Huh?”

The girl was stunned.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks opposite couldn't help but said: "Girl, you still..."

"It's none of your business! Shut your stupid mouth!" The strong man surnamed Huang glared at the sharp-mouthed monkey face, and then looked around, "Get out of here! I will kill anyone who watches the fun again."

Bang!

The door opposite is closed.

Bang bang bang...

All other doors and windows were also closed.

In just a few seconds, the street became deserted again.

The strong man surnamed Huang changed his expression to a gentle one and said softly: "How is it? How do you think about it?"

The girl looked at each other warily, her lips trembling: "I...I..."

"Don't you want to save your dad? I really didn't know that the medicine had expired before. But I still have new medicine in my hand, isn't it good? It can still be saved. I really didn't lie to you before, and I certainly won't lie to you this time. .”

The strong man named Huang smiled more gently.

But the girl had been reminded once after all. She looked back at the closed door on the opposite side and said subconsciously: "But he said..."

"There's so much nonsense! Come in here!"

The moment the girl turned around, the strong man named Huang pinched the back of her neck from behind.

He suddenly stood up again, picked up the girl with one hand like a chicken, turned around and walked into the room.

Behind the ripped clothes, Ren Zhong, whose eyes were full of murderous intent, took a deep breath and was about to raise his feet to stop him.

At this point, we can no longer ignore it.

Fortunately I'm here today.

The inference of guilt becomes conclusive, and no one can save the damn ghost.

However……

"I am a scumbag! I will kill you!"

A strong gust of wind blew by, and the leg that Ren Zhong had just raised froze in place.

Ahead, Wen Lei's tall body like an iron tower turned into a huge black shadow falling from the sky, appearing next to the strong man surnamed Huang.

Wen Lei was born strong.

In anger, he punched the man surnamed Huang with a punch that almost reached a physical fitness index of 46, piercing the waist like a cannonball.

A dull collision sound sounded.

The strong man surnamed Huang screamed, let go of the girl and curled up.

Wen Lei, whose eyes were about to burst with bloodshot eyes, raised his leg again and kicked the opponent in the abdomen. He kicked him two or three meters away and then pounced forward with a series of punches and kicks like a storm.

Wen Lei didn't spare any effort and just beat him to death.

He beat and cursed at the same time.

"Fuck your horse's bastard!"

"Why didn't your father stick you to the wall?"

"In my whole life, I have never seen a bastard like you!"

"Why didn't I bump into you two years earlier! If you dare to provoke me, if you can live to this day, I will take your last name!"

Wen Lei's out-of-control rage came suddenly.

But Ren Zhong may have guessed the reason. The girl must have reminded him of his childhood sweetheart Ai Jiashan.

Why are you the one stealing my show?

Zheng Tian didn't take action, but turned to look nervously at Ren Zhong, who looked slightly astonished next to him.

She scratched her head in distress: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, Wen Lei usually looks honest, but he is actually quite reckless. Although beating someone is not a big deal, you still have to turn around and be questioned by the guards. And Wen Lei is still Those who are measured will not be beaten to death easily."

Just as she was talking, Wen Lei stepped on the temple of the strong man named Huang.

Zheng Tian: "Forget it, let's leave first, so as not to be implicated. As long as the person is not dead, he will not be exiled. If he is really dead, we will find a way to catch him later."

Ren Zhong didn't move and asked, "Don't we generally not care about beating people to death in fist fights in this town?"

"There are more or less rules in Xinghuo Town. You have to have a clear reason before you really don't care. In a situation like today, after all, they don't care about our business, so we can just take action for no reason. This bastard is really annoying. If he is beaten to death in the street, Wen Lei will most likely have his equipment and watch confiscated and be permanently exiled to the wild, and will not be allowed to enter any town again."

Ren Zhong asked again: "It was the guards who arrested the person? Who will interrogate him in the end?"

"It's the Guard. Usually it's the Guard's personal interrogation, but sometimes Mayor Ma will also intervene."

Ren nodded, "I understand."

The underlying purpose of this flimsy law in Spark Town is still to create a legitimate reason for hunters to take an extra brain.

It makes sense to kill one person and save two brains.

Last time Yu Jin died in vain at the hands of a strong man named Huang. It was probably because the honest young man was bullied by the other party's words that he made the first move in full public view. The strong man named Huang "retaliated" and died, so he was naturally not guilty.

After thinking about his joints, Ren Zhong lowered his body slightly and grabbed an alloy rod nearly two feet long from the ground.

There is a fracture gap at the front end of the alloy stick, which is slightly sharp.

Ren Zhong weighed it in his hand, it was a murderous weapon.

Zheng Tian next to her covered her mouth and stopped talking.

She found that although Ren Zhong's face was expressionless, his eyes were more murderous than Wen Lei's just now.

But if it were him, it shouldn't be right?

He doesn't need to.

Immediately, she exclaimed.

ah!

Mr. Ren really rushed out!

She felt weird.

She has been dealing with Ren Zhong for three days. In her mind, Ren Zhong was a former high-ranking citizen. He had a wide network of contacts and was very knowledgeable. He was also very approachable and had no airs. He always smiled and was very easy-going.

Mr. Ren's mecha warrior talent is very high, but his dismantling talent is even more amazing, which shows that he is an extremely smart person.

So the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to be emotionally aroused by external objects.

But the scene she saw in front of her overturned her understanding.

She wanted to persuade, but it was too late.

Forget it, it’s not a big problem anyway.

The next moment, Ren Zhong appeared next to Wen Lei.

He pushed Wen Lei away and stabbed the strong man named Huang with the alloy stick in his hand straight into the neck.

The sound was like breaking leather and blood splattered.

die!

Wen Lei beat him vigorously for almost a minute, so it would be better to let Ren Zhong beat him for just one second.

Wen Lei, who was furious and furious just a moment ago, calmed down instantly and was dumbfounded on the spot.

Zheng Tian also had veins popping out on her forehead.

It's over, something happened.

After a long time, he didn't want to provide Wen Lei with the murder weapon! But do it yourself!

He was acting recklessly in public.

Although there was obviously no one else on the street, many people were watching quietly, and the matter could not be hidden.

In fact, there could have been a better way to handle it, such as letting the little girl stab her with the last knife, and then everything would be fine.

But that’s it…

well.

"Mr. Ren, leave quickly! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Wen Lei's reaction was finally quick.

He didn't need Zheng Tian to remind him. He had already made his decision. As he spoke, he reached out to grab the alloy rod in Ren Zhong's hand.

Ren Zhong turned around, blocked Wen Lei's movement, and said calmly: "It's not necessary, you two should leave first."

After saying this, he looked at Zheng Tian, ​​who was standing at the corner of the street in shock and bewilderment, "You go too."

Seeing that the two of them were motionless, Ren Zhong stood up, pulled out the alloy rod at the same time, threw it to the ground, and patted his palms as if to shake off the blood on his hands.

"Just leave as you are told. This is not a big deal to me, Zheng Tian, ​​you know."

He nodded slightly and added, "Well, I have a plan."
