In the dim room, Simon took off his clothes and was naked. He held a round mirror with a slightly broken surface and looked back and forth. He wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with his body.

After a thorough inspection, no problem was found, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Shadow Ghost, he didn't see any problems. The main reason was that the notes left by Simon Gust's father didn't contain much content. He was just a layman who loved mysteries and aspired to become extraordinary.

Although he has read a lot of books about the mysterious side and extraordinary beings in the past few years, at most they have expanded his horizons, and the actual effect is not great.

After playing with it for a while, Simon's stomach growled. He hadn't eaten all day and he was hungry.

This is already the case, just take it one step at a time.

Simon is very optimistic. He can live another life and does not have to be depressed in a hospital bed waiting to die. This is the biggest blessing for him. Moreover, he has become a transcendent, which is even more of a blessing. As for the unknown abnormality of Shadow Ghost,

He decisively chose to put the problem aside for the time being.

There was nothing to eat in Simon's house, and he never failed to cook at home. There was nothing of value in his house except a pile of books.

In order to study the mysteries and pursue the extraordinary, Simon spent most of his money. He was always hungry for food, and sometimes he often went hungry.

Simon dug out all the money at home and found two crumpled yellow eagle banknotes and seven iron eagle coins, including four five-cent iron eagle coins.

The currency of the Red Eagle Federation is divided into four types of banknotes and two types of coins. The pattern engraved on both banknotes and coins is a majestic giant eagle.

The banknotes include the red eagle coin with a face value of 100 yuan, the green eagle coin with a face value of 50 yuan, the yellow eagle coin with a face value of 10 yuan, and the white eagle coin with a face value of 1 yuan. The two coins are the iron eagle coin with a face value of 1 yuan and 5 cents.

In other words, Simon's entire possessions add up to only 25 yuan.

Not so miserable!

Simon put the money in his pocket and went out for a meal first to fill his stomach.

He pulled the quilt off the window, and large amounts of dust shook out from the quilt, covering him like gray mist.

Bah bah bah!

Simon quickly ducked away and fanned the dust.

How long has it been since this quilt was washed?

In fact, it hasn't been washed at all.

The dazzling light penetrated through the gaps in the wooden boards, and the room suddenly became much brighter.

Simon blew out the butter lamp that was almost burnt out, and then pulled off the sheet on the door. The gray sheet looked like a rag.

This time I was smart and didn't pull the sheets hard.

Throw the sheets and quilts on the wooden bed and leave them alone until they come back from dinner.

He found a wrench from the room and began to pry the wooden board on the door.

The boards were nailed very firmly, and it took Simon a lot of effort to remove seven or eight boards.

This level of labor left me panting and sweating. Simon's physical fitness was really poor.

I secretly made up my mind to exercise hard in the future.

Before going out, he wiped away the sequence array in the room so that it could not be discovered by others.

I couldn't wait to open the door and take a deep breath of fresh air, but the so-called "fresh air" didn't smell good, it smelled like a stinky ditch.

The sky was gray and depressing.

The first thing that caught his eye was rows of closely packed dilapidated houses. Simon could also see tall and thick chimneys standing in the distance, gurgling into the sky and spewing thick black smoke.

The energy source of the industrial revolution was mainly coal resources. Excessive use of coal will inevitably produce air pollution.

The city of Fossa is filled with coal smoke all year round, and thick smoke is billowing. The smoke and fog mix with each other, forming a thick smog that lingers over the city for many years, giving the entire city a dark scene.

The houses in sight are all black and gray stained by soot.

This is limited to the outer city where he is now, and even worse, the lower city. Simon recently studied at the University of Victoria. The coal smoke pollution in the inner city where Victoria University is located is not so serious.

There are four districts in Fossa City, and they are one ring inside another.

The most central area is the Central District, which is the center of power and wealth in Fossa City and the area where the top dignitaries and top wealthy people in Fossa City live.

At the same time, an army is stationed there to guard the security of the Central District. It is said that the environment in the Central District is also the best, with fresh air and no pollution problems.

Anyway, Simon has never been to the Central District.

Then there is the inner city, which is the elite area of ​​Fossa City. Elites from all walks of life gather here. There are police stations in each area of ​​the inner city, and there are police patrols at night, so it is also very safe.

Then there is the outer city, which can be said to be the civilian area of ​​Fossa City. Most of the population of Fossa City lives here. This is where Simon lives now.

Finally, there is Xiacheng District, the slum area of ​​Fossa City, the most chaotic and disorderly place in Fossa City. Gangs are everywhere, there are armed fights every day, and death is the most normal situation.

People living there have to be careful every day. Almost everyone has weapons at home, and firearms are widely available.

There is a gun ban in Fossa City, but the gun ban in Xiacheng District cannot be implemented or prohibited at all. The police in Fossa City do not dare to easily enter Xiacheng District to enforce the law.

It is a miracle that he can survive until death in Xiacheng District.

The area where Simon lives is the border area between the Outer City and Xiachang District. It is quite chaotic and there are often fights. Simon has been robbed and extorted by gangsters and gangsters.

The outer city and lower city are also the industrial areas of Fossa City. There are factories everywhere, with many chimneys and serious smog. A large amount of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage are discharged randomly. The drainage ditches and sewers are full of stinky sewage full of chemical smell.

The Outer City District and Xiacheng District are also the trash cans of the Central District and the Inner City District. A large amount of domestic waste is transported to these two districts for processing every day.

There is a famous garbage mountain in Xiacheng District. It is all garbage transported from three urban areas. It is piled up like a mountain and the stench is overwhelming.

Even so, there are still a large number of people looking for valuable items in this garbage mountain every day.

There is even a market town formed around this garbage mountain, which relies on the garbage mountain to live.

The most terrifying thing in the outer and lower urban areas is not murder, but disease. Living in such a place where the air and water quality are seriously polluted, infectious diseases are the most terrifying killers.

Once contracted by an infectious disease, the economic level of residents in outer urban areas and lower urban areas simply does not have the financial ability to receive treatment, and they are basically waiting to die.

There have been many severe cholera outbreaks in the city of Fossa over the past century, with tens of thousands of people dying, which was quite tragic.

This city is really bad.

Or maybe this new, backward world is really bad.

But Simon doesn't miss the advanced, convenient, and safe world of the past.

Because this is the only world where he can live healthily.

"Simon, did you just wake up?"

At this time, a rough female voice sounded, and Simon looked over. A middle-aged woman who was not good-looking, had a body as fat as a water tank, and looked like a fighting lady came over carrying a bucket.

Her name is Doreen, she is Simon's neighbor, and her family are all very good people.

However, their relationship is not very close, it is just a meeting and greeting relationship.

"Hello, Doreen, I got up late today." Simon showed a kind smile and said with a hearty smile.

Doreen paused and looked at Simon in surprise.

Simon Gust is usually very mysterious, to put it bluntly, he is very gloomy, and never takes the initiative to say hello. Usually it is Doreen and his wife who take the initiative to say hello, while Simon at most nods and rarely speaks to him.

Simon not only chatted today, but also smiled so kindly, which made Doreen a little confused.

Doreen suspected that Simon was on drugs.

Simon realized that his behavior was different from before, smiled, said nothing, waved to Doreen, and left quickly.
