Chapter 26 Not human?
Xu Mo put Yao'er to sleep and then went to the roof. Master Batu's fat body was carefully watering the flowers. Xu Mo watched quietly without disturbing him.
"Flowers in the underground world are not easy to grow. It takes a lot of time and energy, and they will wither if you are not careful." Master Batu said in a low voice, as if talking to himself.
But Xu Mo felt like he was using flowers to represent people.
Flowers are like this, and so are the people in the underground world. If it weren't for the protection of Master Batu and the kindness of Miss Mia, it would be difficult to survive in this world.
"Master Batu, I just met the murderer downstairs." Xu Mo said.
Master Batu seemed to have known about it. He still watered the water silently until there was no water in the kettle, then he put it aside. His fat body walked to the side to rest and sat on a chair.
Because he is too fat, he cannot sit on the chair at all.
"What do you think?" Batu then looked up at Xu Mo and asked.
"Did Master Batu save Yao'er?" Xu Mo asked.
"No one cares about the children. I gave them some money to settle the matter." Batu did not deny it. He could see that Xu Mo had changed a lot from before. He had gradually matured since the day his parents died.
"Do you hate me?" Master Batu asked Xu Mo silently.
Xu Mo shook his head. Most of his emotions towards his 'parents' came from the memory of the original owner, so he could look at things rationally.
He is just an employee in Master Batu's shop. Master Batu is willing to save his youngest son, which is already the most benevolent thing. How can he save his family of four and get into trouble?
The underground world is not a benevolent world, and living is already very difficult. Master Batu has his own people to protect. Even if Master Batu is very strong, he cannot always guard Mia.
"Since they have received money from Mr. Batu, they shouldn't dare to report it to Cobra." Xu Mo thought to himself, otherwise, with Cobra's vicious reputation, he might not let those two men go.
"You can solve your problems by yourself. I can't help you. You can take your son away now. If you want to stay, just face it by yourself. Life or death has nothing to do with me. If you die, I will try my best to help you."
You raise our little boy." Mr. Batu seemed to know what Xu Mo was thinking and said to him.
"Okay." Xu Mo nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Batu."
"One more ration, you decide for yourself." Master Batu said nonchalantly. He was also a little curious, what would Xu Mo choose?
Should we take Yao'er away, or should we face it on our own?
No matter which path he takes, living is not easy, but his precious daughter is probably going to be sad, but it's time to let her know a little about the cruelty of the underground world.
Master Batu suddenly shook his head mockingly.
As we get older and see more, people become numb.
It depends on his fate.
…………
When night comes in the underground world, ordinary people go home and close their doors and windows, not daring to go out at will.
But there are still people coming and going on the streets, and they are all good people. In a chaotic world, there will be many people living in dark corners and doing shady things.
After Xu Mo sent Bai Wei back, he went back to the room alone, leaving Yao'er in the care of Mia.
In the room, he took out two playing cards, silver metal playing cards, and cut two of them when he killed the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
Look carefully at the edge of the poker. It is very thin, light in weight, and easy to carry. If used as a concealed weapon, it is more suitable than a meteor dart, and it is not very eye-catching.
Xu Mo stared at the poker cards, and suddenly he saw two playing cards floating in front of him. Controlled by Xu Mo's mind, he saw the two playing cards spinning in opposite directions, passing around his body, and then
It fell into his palm.
It was a little difficult to control two poker cards at the same time, and it consumed more mental energy. His time to practice the breathing method was still too short.
Xu Mo closed his eyes and began to practice breathing techniques. Everything from the outside world was imprinted in his mind. His head was running like a machine. It was not the first time he felt this way.
Time passed little by little, and both Mia and Yao'er had fallen asleep. Master Batu did not sleep, and was also meditating.
Outside the department store, in the far direction of the street, there were several figures approaching. There were three people in total. In addition to the two brothers during the day, Xu Mo also saw a tall and thin man carrying a long ax on his shoulder.
The weapon has a long ax handle with a silver metallic sheen.
The three of them walked towards Master Batu's department store together.
Obviously, they came to kill people.
They received the order to kill the three elders. Although Yao'er could be arrested and taken to the black market, the money they got was not theirs after all. What Master Batu gave them went into his own pocket. This was embezzlement. What's more,
There is still one alive today.
Brother Snake needs to know that even if they don't die, they still have to peel off their skin.
Therefore, Xu Mo must die.
When they reached the street entrance, Xu Mo had already stood up and opened the door. He walked downstairs quietly, opened the door of the department store and walked out, then walked towards the darkness.
The two sides met unexpectedly, and the other three were stunned for a moment when they saw Xu Mo, and then the two brothers showed a sinister smile in their eyes. What a coincidence, this saved them from 'knocking on the door'.
When they saw the panic in Xu Mo's eyes, they turned around and ran away the next moment.
The two brothers showed a half-smiling expression, but they still wanted to run away?
The two of them also started chasing each other, and the tall and thin man also pursued with an ax on his shoulder. His steps were very long and he ran very fast.
Mr. Batu stood at the window upstairs and saw several people running in the dark night. He did not expect that Xu Mo would have such courage at his age. He had underestimated him before.
But, how could this kid meet him so coincidentally right after he went out?
Xu Mo ran wildly on the street, and the three people behind him stalked after him. People on the street were not surprised by this situation, and they all moved away silently. At night, this kind of thing was very common. The sanitation workers who got up early would often
Able to see the presence of corpses.
"This kid is so good at running?" The three of them chased Xu Mo without closing the distance, and the other person kept diving into the alley, as if they were very familiar with the terrain, and they were tired to the point of panting.
After walking through countless alleys, with fewer and fewer people, Xu Mo finally stopped.
The three chasing people also stopped, bent over and panting, their breathing felt exhausted. This little beast was so good at running...
A disgusting rotten smell came, and the three panting people felt like vomiting. They took a look at the damp alley, there was garbage everywhere, and they didn't know where Xu Mo took them.
Can't run anymore?
"Little beast, are you going to keep running?" One person stared at Xu Mo and said, "I originally planned to let the girl go, but now it seems that we have to deal with it together when we have time. I like to see her cry."
"You have no chance." There was no breath in Xu Mo's voice, and there was a bit of coldness in it, which made the other party stunned for a moment.
Damn it, the sound seemed a little different, and it actually made him feel a little chilly.
"This is a suitable place for burying corpses. Brother Snake probably won't know."
Another person said, holding a knife and walking towards Xu Mo, with a ferocious cold light in his eyes.
Seeing that Xu Mo was still standing there indifferently, he stepped forward quickly, preparing to kill Xu Mo with a knife.
A card appeared in Xu Mo's hand, and he suddenly rushed forward. The opponent was stunned, raised his arm, and was about to stab Xu Mo.
A card flew directly over. At such a close distance, the card was like a sharp knife, cutting directly through his throat in a perfect arc. He still maintained his forward posture, but his throat kept tightening.
He was bleeding, and he raised his left hand to cover his throat. He trembled and lowered his head, with fear written on his face.
The next moment, his body fell forward.
"What's going on?" It was too dark in the alley, and the other two people didn't even see clearly what happened. They saw their companion fell. Their eyes changed and they stared at Xu Mo who was walking over.
What happened to this kid? Did he lure them here on purpose?
"What's the matter with you?" The tall, thin man holding an ax said to the young man beside him. Didn't he say he was helping to kill a child? But one of them was killed instead.
"It has nothing to do with me here. I'm leaving first." The tall and thin man said to Xu Mo and stepped back, wanting to leave. He was just here to help.
Another card in Xu Mo's hand also flew out. The axe-wielding man's expression changed and his head moved, but the card actually seemed to have eyes, drawing an arc beside him and across his throat.
, blood spattered out, he stared and turned to look at the young man, with despair and anger in his eyes.
He was tricked to death by the other party.
"Bang!" The body fell down, and the remaining young man stared at the scene in front of him. He was the one who squatted down to scare Yao'er during the day.
When he looked at Xu Mo again, he saw an extremely strange scene. The card flew back to Xu Mo, floated in front of him, and actually rotated in the air.
"This..." His body was shaking slightly and his legs were numb.
He thought of what he had experienced that day. Xu Mo had clearly died. How could he be alive?
"You are not a human being, you are not a human being..."
He turned around and ran, his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground without any courage left.
Xu Mo rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and placed the poker in his right hand in front of the other person's neck.
"Will you cry?" Xu Mo whispered in his ear, and liquid dripped on the ground.
The poker in Xu Mo's hand slowly crossed over. The young man's body trembled violently and he fell into boundless fear.
Blood flowed from his throat, and he opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead until there was no movement.
Xu Mo wiped off the blood on the cards, threw the opponent's body on the ground, pulled on his clothes and hat, and walked out of the alley.
…………
In the department store, Batu stood outside the door and took a look, but did not wait for anyone to come back.
"Maybe he can't come back, right?" Master Batu thought in his mind.
After waiting for a while, he didn't expect a miracle. He sighed, turned around slowly with his fat body, walked into the store, and prepared to lock the door.
Just as he was about to close the door, a tall figure walked towards him on the street not far away. Batu was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and saw Xu Mo's figure coming outside.
"Master Batu." Xu Mo shouted.
Batu was stunned for a moment and forgot to open the door.
"Master Batu, it's settled. I'm going to rest." Xu Mo opened the door and walked into the store, then walked upstairs.
