Chapter 42: Corner of the Commercial District

【bite. 】

[As the first internal small-scale test will start tomorrow, the server will be maintained tonight. We are hereby notified. 】

【Please be prepared. 】

Arnuo listened calmly to the cold mechanical sound coming from his ears, his expression unchanged at all.

His guess was pretty much the past few days.

What should be prepared is already prepared. Facing a huge number of players, he already has an absolute advantage.

If this still doesn't control them, Yano thinks it's better to simply physically cancel his account.

"Hey, Lan, what do we do now?"

A timid voice beside him interrupted Arno's thinking.

The younger man from before stood in front of him, looking at him with a somewhat evasive gaze.

When they accidentally met each other, Arno could still see the fear in his eyes.

Everything went as he expected,

When a person who was supposed to die appears in front of these two people again, it will definitely shock them greatly.

This look of fear is one of the results.

"Don't be so nervous, aren't we familiar partners?"

Arno put his face against the middle-aged man Lan's face, smiled softly, and patted the young man's shoulder as if he was very familiar.

However, when the young man was touched by Arno's hand, he immediately trembled and lowered his head.

In front of his eyes, Lan is now not only a person who has been resurrected from the dead, but also the demon's lackey.

He couldn't help but be afraid. Once Lan made a report, he didn't know what kind of encounter would be waiting for him.

"Anyway, let's wait here."

"Kuso should have already talked with the leader here, and the results will be out soon."

Arno said.

The Kusuo he was talking about was the old man who was with this young man before.

The other party has lived for such a long time and has rich experience as a poor person, so he can better communicate with people who are also poor people.

After a while, just like what Arnold said,

Kuso dragged his old body but walked out of the alley in front of the two of them with steady steps.

He first raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, then walked to Arno and lowered his head respectfully.

"According to the request, we have reached an agreement and the other party allows us to temporarily enter the slums here to stay for a few days."

"However, we can only find solutions for things like beds and stuff ourselves."

Kusuo said,

He never raised his head to look at Arno.

This made Arno feel a little sad,

They were obviously co-criminals who extorted money together before, but now they have begun to have hierarchies.

I have to say, this is really a sinful society.

"Well done. From now on, I will deliver information once a day as requested by that adult."

"What happens after that is out of our control."

Arno imitated Lann's tone and said calmly.

Kusuo and the young man lowered their heads and said nothing, indicating their acquiescence.

"Without further delay, let's go in and settle in first."

Arno said, taking the lead into the alley.

Behind him, the young man and Kusuo cautiously raised their heads and looked at each other, then followed Arno.

As soon as Arno walked into the alley, he frowned slightly.

Fortunately, he was walking in front and neither of them saw his expression.

Otherwise, as a senior poor person, frowning just because of the taste would easily arouse people's suspicion.

"I kind of know why this place is occupied by poor people and no one is taking care of it."

Arno thought to himself.

The smell he smelled now was like throwing a hundred-day-old garbage into a manure pile, stirring it, and then spreading ketchup on top.

I can't say it's extremely sweet, I can only say it's nauseating.

This is still located in the corner of the business district.

If it were located in the entertainment district, Arnold felt the smell should be stronger.

However, Arnold was not intolerable.

Anyway, that's just the way slums exist.

Dirty, dilapidated, rotten...

All the beautiful words in the world cannot be applied to him.

This is the lowest level of residence, there is nothing surprising about it.

No matter how prosperous a country is, it cannot avoid the most extreme poverty.

This is not a question of whether the empire can do it, but whether the empire wants to do it.

The superior men always believe that the people at the bottom are not worthy of mercy.

Because they have neither votes,

There are no weapons that can pose a threat.

The gentlemen are more compassionate to the cats and dogs on the roadside than they are to the lower class humans.

Therefore, they have no motivation to focus on boring things like improving people's livelihood.

Making money is the first priority.

"ah,"

Passing through the alley, Arnold's eyes suddenly opened up.

“The alley is not completely connected to Skid Row.”

"After this, to get to the real location of the ghetto, you need to go through a sewer."

After a pause, Kusuo explained, "This is the nearest way."

Arno looked in front of him,

He roughly knew why he had to go through this alley.

Because what is in front of us is a complicated fast lane.

The entrance to the sewer is located on the left side of this lane near the edge of the lane.

Not far from the alley, there is a driveway exit and the sewer is located there.

However, according to observation, it seems that no one has passed this lane exit for a long time.

If you want to enter the commercial area through this exit, you must pass through this alley, the only one that is wide enough for vehicles to pass.

But no one is willing to do that.

"Let's go."

Arno just glanced at it and walked straight forward.

He had no objection to passing through the sewer.

However,

Before entering the sewer, on the lane, Arno saw an interesting scene.

He saw a speeding vehicle.

There was nothing strange about a vehicle speeding on the fast lane.

However, not far ahead was a cross bend.

And this is where the interesting thing about this car is.

Its turn signal was on the wrong way.

If you want to turn left, turn on the left turn signal, and if you want to turn right, turn on the right turn signal.

But it was clearly turning right, but it turned on the left turn signal.

It was clearly right, but it said it was left.

This is treating everyone in this empire as blind.

But it is also right,

This car looks expensive and extraordinary, and the person sitting on it must be a high-ranking official.

It is normal for people to be angry but not to speak out.

"But we still have to abide by the rules."

"Unless you can tell left from right, you will be pushed out of the car sooner or later."

"When the time comes, you will know which turn signal to use."

Thinking of this, Arno pushed open the cover of the sewer and walked in without hesitation.

Inside, it was dark.

There was no trace of light at all.
