Chapter 176: Control

Linn's thoughts were a little panicked.

He didn't expect that he would suddenly encounter a mysterious force that he didn't understand at all. The existence named Mr. Umbrella could easily convince people. If he communicated with him frankly, he would not be wary of him at all. And after the conversation ended, the memory that disappeared automatically revealed endless weirdness.

What kind of power is this?

At least this couldn't be the power of a low-level sequence, otherwise I wouldn't have no reaction at all. That kind of understatement without any abnormality revealed is enough to show how terrifying Mr. Umbrella is.

Mr. Umbrella didn’t know if he came to him specifically.

Nothing malicious.

Even this made Linn deeply uneasy, and he even had the timid thought that if the Black Holy Grail did not restore the memory, there would be no need to be afraid. But soon the little gentleman controlled his emotions. Only ignorant domestic animals can live happily without knowing anything. They are more afraid of ignorance than fearing themselves.

At least in the conversation with Mr. Umbrella, when I told the truth, the other party didn't mean to be dissatisfied. There seems to be no obstruction to the investigation in Xiacheng District.

Lin En calmly buried his doubts in his heart.

Since Mr. Umbrella chose to erase his memory, it proves that he does not want to truly meet him, which will affect his behavior. In this case, you can just pretend that nothing happened and continue investigating as before.

This time I really have to thank my body.

It would be better if she could change the way of sharing information. It felt a bit strange just now...

As if aware of Lin En's mood of taking advantage and being obedient, the black Holy Grail with plump red lips floated into the gap between him and Sophia. This flawless and beautiful fairy was wearing thin black gauze. The pieces begin to fade.

Lin En couldn't resist immediately and asked her to calm down quickly.

How could his body be so lustful? Is he really the one who knows himself best?

Before traveling through time, Lin En had learned about some gang culture out of interest, including gestures, slang, codes of conduct, and family cohesion. Only by understanding the enemy can we eliminate the enemy from the source. Mr. Xiao strongly agrees with this point.

There are many gangs in places like Xiacheng District, and they have their own set of survival rules. There must be someone similar to the talker or the underground king. This is an inevitable compromise after the gang's living space is crowded. Otherwise, without this person, the struggle between gangs will fall into a situation without any buffer.

After all, if you are stepping on others to climb up, you must step on them as hard as you can. It is best to use stepping stones and never turn over.

Gangs that lick blood with their swords are even more capable of killing people with red eyes for profit.

This kind of large-scale organization that exercises some powers on behalf of government agencies in Xiacheng District cannot be compared to the small-scale evil forces before Lin En traveled through time. It is a self-contained black economy similar to the Mafia. Such evil consequences on urban soil are no longer something the police can handle.

Sophia gave Lynn a surprise.

The person she introduced to Linn was an old man from a gang who was once very prestigious. His involvement in the gangs in the downtown area in the early years was legendary and he was the idol of many children in the downtown area.

Worship the underworld leader.

This sounds a bit ridiculous, but even in the century after the millennium, there is still a culture of who knows the gangsters outside and who is more powerful on campus, let alone this era. Besides, being able to join a gang in this era is also a profession.

This old man has no name, only a nickname: Iron Hook.

I heard from Sophia that this old man was the talker of a large territory, but he was already close to the age of washing hands in a golden basin. He once took care of Sophia and kind of groomed her as an heir, but the eldest sister didn't agree and didn't want to Too deep in the gang world.

After all, people living on the streets rarely end up well.

Young and old.

Lin En and Tie Gou met in a quiet and peaceful yard. He was playing with a parrot in his hand, and he looked like an ordinary old man on the roadside. Of course, this is based on Lin En's eyes before time travel. If you look at it from this era, this is clearly a wealthy state.

"This is a white rhinoceros parrot, a species from the Far South Continent. It's not easy to feed."

The young gentleman smiled and said, his eyes sweeping over Iron Hook's dark skin. This is the skin color that a sea coach driver has after being exposed to direct sunlight for many years.

Here Lin En is actually saying that he saw through his base at a glance.

The old man teased the parrot, his fingers resting on the white feathers of the docile parrot.

"That girl Sophia said that her man needs help with something. I am also happy to maintain a friendship with her man. Are you here with friendship? Young man." Tie Gou's expression was not friendly, and he held his head high. With his chest puffed out, he looked majestic in a suit.

But Linn quickly couldn't help but sneer.

He directly raised his hand and scratched the parrot's head. You could see that the parrot was so frightened that its feathers were ruffled and its wings spread out. Tie Gou felt that he was offended, and the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

"You know, in fact, humans and animals are often the same. Especially when they are bluffing, they will try to make themselves look strong and big."

Linn pointed at the parrot and stared directly at him, indicating something.

This old man has a good relationship with Sophia, but he shouldn't act like a superior to talk to a formal member of the [Suppression Bureau]. He wants to suppress himself, but he can't hide it from the pair of green eyes that see through his heart. Lin En easily saw through Tie Gou's true emotions. A very important reason is that in the gang culture, talking is rough and direct, and more emphasis on power will inevitably lead to certain deficiencies.

"I'm not a gang member. I respect your rules, but the [Suppression Bureau] is the one that really writes the rules. The reason why gangs exist is because we need you to exist."

Seizing the opportunity to win, Lin En showed the strength that the [Suppression Bureau] should have. He did this to tell these people that Sophia has him by her side, so don't try to make any crooked plans.

Faced with Lin En's strength, Tie Gou couldn't help but fall into silence. This seemingly immature boy didn't have the impetuous arrogance of his peers, but like an experienced police officer, he came up and pointed out the gap between the two sides. And it was precisely this kind of existence that made the gang leader feel difficult.

"Of course, I can't fully represent the [Suppression Bureau], just like Sophia can't represent you, right?"

Changing the subject, Lin En gave Tie Gou a way out while mentioning Sophia.

"You're right."

The old man who was caught recognized Lin En's skill, and he no longer looked down on this childish and beautiful boy.
