Chapter 41: Lusting After My Body

This is the Lower City.

A place where prostitutes, thieves, robbers, gangsters, and future criminals gather and where sewage flows. Even if the economy is in recession, the business related to happy water is always prosperous, and smuggling from land and sea has even become more rampant because of the war. In war, there will always be people who eat from the dead bodies on the ground.

There is no worst, only worse, this is the scene outside the self-proclaimed civilized Steam City.

Looking at the entire continent.

In the northern front, or in rural areas with stronger taxation, or even in countries where the serf system has not been abolished, such tragic situations are everywhere.

Although there is already a general understanding of this, when Lin En followed Mr. Bill to the patrol officers who blocked the scene to understand the situation in the Lower City, the information he got from them still made Lin En, a young man, really feel what it means to treat human life as worthless.

First of all, there is no public security in the Lower City.

Patrolmen generally won't lower themselves to come to this gathering place of poor and worthless people. In Elba Field, if a patrolman has to patrol the lower city, then he must have offended his superiors.

It's not that the daring low-class people dare to attack patrolmen, but in the environment where social status is extremely important, being dragged to patrol the lower city is almost the same as being punished to clean the toilet for a week.

The harm is not great, but the insult is very strong.

This leads to a phenomenon, and it is consistent with the idea that Lin En had come up with before. The order in the lower city is actually maintained by gangs. These gangs have formed a barbaric complex similar to the primitive chamber of commerce by controlling water sources and venues, etc., to represent the lower city and bargain with the people above to make rules.

The dead in the lower city are not called dead, but missing.

The dead have to pay death taxes, buy cemeteries, and ask pastors to purify them to avoid extraordinary infringements. All of these require golden pounds to pay for them. If you can't afford to die, you can only disappear. The gang will make another profit from the disappearance, which is just pitiful for those who can't mourn their loved ones.

The victim is a prostitute. This perverted killer has probably done this more than once. Bill must use the patrol police to investigate. These guys usually receive a lot of tributes from the gang, so it's time for them to do something.

Lin En agrees with Bill's approach. If the two of them go to the huge downtown area to investigate by themselves, there may be no results in a whole year. If the investigation does not choose the right direction and means, it is basically equivalent to working in vain. In such incidents, the longer the time is delayed, the bigger the problem will be. The desire of the pervert to provoke and stimulate will become more and more inflated, which also means that there will be a steady stream of victims.

The life of the corpse and the life of the prostitute.

These relevant information must be communicated by Bill and Elba.

Lin En also has a job.

"...Ah?" The puzzled syllables are Lin En's confusion. He doesn't quite understand why Mr. Bill would give him such a task assignment. He seriously doubts whether this guy is abusing his power for profit.

Mr. Bill, smiling, arranged for Lynn to go to Lord Amisto's manor to inquire about some information.

"Although Lord Earl is not a Beyonder, she loves Beyonder-related objects and information. Financial support often has amazing results. The Beyonder professions of [Desolate] and [Civilized], as well as the flow of potion materials in the market, can all be checked through her."

Bill really didn't abuse his power for personal gain this time. He was now thinking about how to catch this pervert. Throwing the finished corpse to the lower city may cause it to be thrown to the middle city. The [Suppression Bureau] will never allow such provocative behavior. This Beyonder incident is of a very bad nature.

Lynn understood. It turned out that the beautiful mature woman was not only a sponsor, but also a source of intelligence.

"No problem."

On the first day of work and the first mission outside, Lynn would not object to Bill's arrangement. The reason was not only the coveted weekly salary, but more importantly, it was related to the running-in problem. Of course, the rationality of the arrangement also determines the degree of Lin En's commitment. Whether he is a sly slacker or a conscientious 996, it all depends on whether Bill treats him as his own.

So far, Lin En is still very satisfied.

Bill did not treat him as a worker to be exploited, but really treated Lin En as a reserve member to be trained. Bill's care can be seen in the tests and tips.

"Let me check the time..."

Mr. Squinting took out a silver shell rose pattern pocket watch, which was much more exquisite and beautiful than Lin En's brass pocket watch. The surface showed that it was almost noon at this moment.

"I'm sorry that I can't reimburse this lunch, remember it first. You can take the carriage of the bureau back directly and report this incident and our subsequent arrangements to the captain."

This is also a kind of insurance, so as to prevent the incident from advancing too fast during the investigation, and no one knows that he is in trouble before he has time to tell the bureau.

Although the [Forger] profession has a mechanical bird that can report information, to be honest, that thing is not 100% effective. The mechanical bird occasionally gets lost or damaged in the [Light Bearer], especially in a complex metropolis.

"Are you okay alone?"

Lynn realized that Bill was going to stay here and get the relevant information as soon as possible.

"It's not your turn to worry about me, young man. Do you know? Before the gentleman in front of you joined the [Suppression Bureau], he was dealing with gang members in the downtown area all year round."

Patting Lin En's shoulder, Bill revealed a little about his past, and his smiling face seemed to become cold and dangerous.

As a smart man, Bill was able to climb from an ordinary person in the Lower City to the position of the Extraordinary [Light Bearer] step by step. Bill relied on more than just his mouth. Devil Bill, this title given to him by the Lower City, contains a deep fear of this object. If you want to make the gangs afraid, it is not feasible to reason. You have to be more ruthless than them to create a fear that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Bill has not told Lin En about this side of him.

Any trust and entrustment requires time and events to hone. If Lin En goes deep enough, one day Bill will not mind showing him the side of himself that he pulled the trigger coldly and vigorously at those drug addicts.

Lin En has already sat on the carriage back to the [Light Bearer] branch.

His half-Sequence 9 combat power is almost equivalent to that of a goose. Bill's arrangement is reasonable, so he accepted it.

‘Even if it is the same god, there may still be multiple sects, and the doctrines may not be exactly the same. Which sect and what profession does this pervert belong to? Is the database of the [Light Bearer] branch still too small? If you want to check, you probably have to go to the headquarters. It’s better to go to Count Amiste. ’

The invitation letter I just got this morning may come in handy in the afternoon.

Lin En couldn’t help but have a headache. He was really not good at dealing with women, especially this woman who was not only very smart but also might be greedy for his body.
