Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1573 The Whisperer

Of course I can't take him with me. He is a little devil. Nine out of ten sentences he says are unbelievable. You have to force him to tell the truth about the remaining one!
Lao Zai came back and told us that it was dark, and those who chased us all left for some reason?There seems to be no one on the street!
Ke Feng quickly replied: "That's because there is an unwritten rule here that you can't stay overnight across districts. They are from the southern district. They can come here during the day to do whatever they want. At night, the districts will be separated from each other. The customs clearance will be opened again the next day, and staying overnight across districts is not only life-threatening, but also requires high taxes, and people who are generally not high enough will not stay overnight across districts!"

I asked inexplicably, "How can I tell which district they are from?"

But Feng showed the scar on his arm, which should have been imprinted by a branding iron, a big one: the word "Xi".

Ke Feng said contemptuously: "You should all have this word, right? It will make it difficult for you to walk an inch during the inspection! Otherwise, how do you think they manage this island? Everyone here is registered, and no one can escape !"

I grunted and asked, "But who will maintain order? I've never seen the police? You can kill people in the street, who cares about other things?"

Ke Feng curled his lips and said: "They are much better than the police, and the police will give you a chance to reason, but they won't, they will directly judge, you are not guilty!"

I ignored him, and when I was about to go out, Ke Feng hesitated, as if he still had something to say.

I think he is only a teenage boy. Although he has done a lot of evil, but he has lost a hand, he must have had an unfortunate experience. Suddenly he softened and said: "My child, let me advise you, some You are not supposed to earn money. Now that you have earned money, you may still feel chic and comfortable to spend it, but when you grow up, you will be condemned by your conscience, which will make you sleepless and restless. You will not be at ease, there will be images of those people who were killed by you in your mind all the time, you can no longer live like a normal person, you will lose everything that a normal person can have, family, love, career! In life, there are really many things that are more important than money, so please do it!"

Just when I was about to step out of the door, Kefeng suddenly stopped and said, "Don't! Don't go out! There are unwritten rules here. When it gets dark, there will be "whisperers" who will take away all the people in the street outside. People walking around! Didn’t you just ask me why there are no police? Because there is no need for police here, only whisperers to maintain order!”

I looked at him puzzled and asked, "The Whisperers? What are they for? Who are they made of?"

Kefeng explained; "They are a group of blind people who only walk in the dark. They claim that the world of people with eyes is the world during the day, and it is their world at night. In their world, no one who is different is allowed to appear. So, at night, almost everyone is afraid to go out!"

I groaned and said, "I also said that people here sing and dance every night, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I dare not even go out at night!"

But Feng hummed and said: "Singing and dancing is where there is light, and where there is no light, whisperers may appear at any time, either to send you to their world, or to another world , in short, don't touch their world! This is why people who cross regions must leave before nightfall, once they can't find a place to live, they will be attacked by whisperers, and no one will be spared! "

I asked again, "Whisperers are powerful?"

Ke Feng said very fearfully: "It's very scary. The territory here was not owned by Li Tianwang, but a man named Zeng Ye. He was sent here from the Central District. He thought the Whisperer was just a legend. Adults used it to scare children. On the first night when they came, they held a banquet on the street, with more than 20 people around them, and they all went blind overnight, including Master Zeng himself. After that, Master Zeng and theirs People just disappeared! This kind of thing happened more than once or twice, otherwise how could so many people believe it?"

I also said with some disdain: "Really? Then I have to see and see!"

Xiao Hei stopped me, pulled me aside and said, "Whisperers perceive the world by hearing and smell. They are more sensitive, resilient and durable than ordinary people. They will stay in the dark like a cat, motionless. For hours, you can't even feel your breath. Don't underestimate them. They all work together and act together. Don't mess with them, or we will never want to walk in the dark! If they are targeted, it will be forever Be careful in the dark night, they are like vampires, living in the endless night!"

It sounded scary to me, but I still had some doubts and said, "I don't believe that people with eyes are weaker than people without eyes. There will always be moonlight outside, right? It really doesn't work. Let's use infrared night vision devices, and they can still be so powerful." Where are you going? You can't just stop going out at night because of their broken rules, right?"

Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "They have all been living in the dark for so many years, no matter how powerful you are, using those high-tech, it is still not as good as their instinctive reaction! Don't be stubborn with me, we don't need to make enemies everywhere. We must abide by the rules!"

I said oh: "Listen to you, I want to take advantage of Zhang Tianwang's people to evacuate, let's hurry up and find the way to the central district, please, they have to come in once the sun rises, It is also troublesome to catch up with us, there are too many people, once the Hongmen disciples are alarmed, we will be attacked by the enemy, and then we will be in trouble!"

Xiao Hei hummed and said, "I know this too, but we can't take any risks. I'd rather deal with Hongmen disciples than Whisperers!"

I nodded and understood what Xiao Hei meant.

Turning around and asking Ke Feng: "Why did you tell me this? Isn't it better for you if we all go out to die? Then you can continue to do whatever you want!"

But Feng smiled wryly and said: "I don't know, maybe it was really discovered by conscience!"

It turned out that at this time I saw that Keya had stood up, sat on a chair without anything to do, and looked at him.

Since they couldn't get out, everyone decided to settle down here temporarily and find a place to rest by themselves.

Those children were orphans without parents. They were trafficked to this island. They were supposed to sell their organs, but they were rescued by Kefeng, but they didn’t do anything good. What are these children doing? I don't even understand, just do what you call it!
Two of the children were also addicted to drugs, which made Yaoyang very angry again, and wanted to beat Kefeng again, but listen to me, he still saved our lives, so he didn't stop.

I discussed with Yaoyang: "You said we're leaving, what should we do with these kids?"

Yaoyang rolled his eyes at me and said: "Aren't you going to take them away? We can't even take care of ourselves now, why take them away? It's not convenient to act? You also know that we may fight with others at any time Yes, bring them by your side, won’t it harm them? They can at least save one life here, if they follow us in a few minutes, they will die!”

I know what Yaoyang said is reasonable, but looking at this group of poor children, are they just left to fend for themselves?I can't do this!
Lao Zai came over at this time and said, "I passed by here today and saw a church in the back. I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning to see if they can take in these children!"

I was surprised: "There is a church in this ghost place? People here don't believe in religion, do they?"

Yaoyang smiled and said: "If you just ask, you will know!"

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Ke Feng and asked, "There is a church nearby, what is there for?"

But Feng rolled his eyes at him and said: "What can the church do? Mission! There is a priest there, who preaches the scriptures and preaches every day. He is a little crazy!"

I then asked, "Does anyone believe it?"

Ke Feng hummed and said: "Many people believe it! There are believers!"

I asked curiously: "Is he alone? Then what does he live on? Doesn't he charge money for preaching?"

But Feng was not very sure: "Several people, it should be his believers who donated money to him? Who knows? You don't believe that too, do you?"

I didn't answer him, but went to sit next to Keya and asked her, "What's the matter with you? Why do you want to hang out with him? Are you a participant in this group of children?"

Keya, who had gone through life and death, was somewhat frightened, looked at Nangong who was standing aside, then looked at me and replied: "But Feng saved me, without him, I don't know where I would have been sold! Whatever he wants me to do, I will do!"

I groaned and asked, "Is it your idea to keep these children in cages?"

Keya hummed and said, "I'm afraid they'll slip out at night and become blind. They're disobedient, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

I said angrily: "Then you can't just dress them and inject them with drugs? How old are they? Do you know that if you do this, people will die? How can their bodies suffer!"

Keya smiled bitterly and said: "Who didn't come here like this? If he gets involved in drugs and can quit, then he can survive here, otherwise, he won't be able to live for a few days. Here, he has no rights, nothing, it's not enough Ruthless, then the only thing to do is wait for death!"

I really can't believe that these words come from a teenager who is only [-] years old. What kind of environment and what kind of people are created!
Our teenage children, whose parents pick them up and drop them off to school every day, stretch out their hands for food and open their mouths, are still angry because they like a pair of Nike shoes, but their parents don’t buy them, and they are still angry because of self-study in physical education class. I didn't cook their favorite dishes for dinner today, and I went on a hunger strike. Look at them, they are already working hard to survive.

This inevitably makes me feel sorry for them, even if they chose a wrong path, they did such a wrong thing, but who can blame it?If they don't, they might not be able to survive?
Nangong saw my embarrassment, walked over, patted my shoulder, and said to Keya: "When I was your age, I already started killing people. After the first time I killed people, I kept vomiting. My head is full of pictures of the man who was killed, although I know he deserves to die, but I can't accept the fact that I killed myself!"

Keya asked with interest: "Then how did you overcome it?"

Nangong sighed and said: "Time, time can dilute everything and make you numb. When I kill the second person, I have already regarded this as a habit of mine, just like we finished The same day of homework, but I still blame myself every day, I regret it every day, if I had a choice, I decided not to start my first time, and when I had a choice later, I would still Did not choose to stop, missed the second chance to choose! You are different, you still have choices, don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life!"

But Keya said angrily: "Do you think I have a choice? What can I choose? Not to enslave those children? Then what should we do? We don't sell drugs, we don't work with King Li, we just We have to starve to death, that day we have no use value, and those adults will sell us as waste products! This is the way in the world of the jungle, there are not many opportunities for us to choose, we are soft-hearted, If we are kind, some people will be unkind to us and manipulate our lives, at least we can give ourselves one more chance now, if we are like those kids, they don’t even have the chance to choose!"

What she said was just and righteous, and she was right, they also wanted to survive, but they shouldn't use others as stepping stones.

I helplessly shook my head with Nangong, thinking that there is no need to preach, because they know the way of survival better than us, everyone understands the truth, but no one can live this life well, why is that?Because reason cannot allow us to eat and drink, more unreasonable people often live better than reasonable people!I suddenly thought of a sentence: "There are no inherently good people in this world, only restrained civilized people!"

We don't accept unfairness from top to bottom, but we can only accept it!

I released Keya and let her return to Kefeng's side. Looking at Kefeng's wounds, she cried while helping Kefeng clean up the wounds, but Feng kept comforting her that he was fine!

If you don't look at the little things they did, what a loving couple this is!

Nangong and I snuggled up on the chair, and I asked, "Why did you kill people in the first place? Is there really no chance to choose?"

Nangong smiled mysteriously, and replied: "I'm actually the little princess of my family. My family doesn't want me to inherit their career, nor do they want me to follow their old path. It's my own choice! Besides, let me tell you One thing, I was lying just now, after the first time I killed someone, I didn't feel anything, and I was even a little excited because I killed my uncle!"
