Age of the Mist

Chapter 1003 Good morning, City of Nie!

"In 2026, the city where I live will be rated as not the worst city in the country."

"There is a lot of violence."

"Standards of living are falling."

"Financial shocks, increasing unemployment, declining births and increasing deaths every year."

"But why do people still come here?"

"Because—it's not the worst here."

"This is the City of Nie."

"This is the city without dreams."

Bang, bang, the door and the door frame slapped each other, making a continuous noise.The noise shook everyone's eardrums, and made the passengers in the car feel irritable.

"Hasn't anyone fixed this damn bus? Look, the rearview mirror is taped on. It's more crap than Uncle Tom's apple pie!"

Someone complained.

"Will you give me money to repair the car?" The driver said numbly.He stomped on the accelerator with his feet, and with his right hand, he pushed the gear lever horizontally, pulled it left and right, and swiped it left and right, performing a set of smooth Tai Chi.

The bus rammed on the road, then slammed on the brakes, and with a squeaking sound, it arrived at the stop.

As soon as the door opened, twenty or thirty passengers rushed into the car.

"For God's sake, the ones ahead get in!"

"Who is pushing my ass, get that damn hand away!"

The driver clicked the switch, and the door closed with a clatter.

"Hey! Hey!!" Someone smashed the car outside: "Quickly open the door, we haven't got in the car yet, wait for us!"

"I can't hold it anymore, let's go next time." The driver stepped on the gas pedal, regardless of whether it would lead the person who was picking the car door away, and left directly: "Everyone is waiting, everyone is late."

The people outside were unwilling to do so, and many of them grabbed the rear of the car with two quick steps and a small jump.Looking from the rear glass, the rear glass is densely covered with hands and faces, as if many hungry zombies wanted to get into the car.

A parent hurriedly educated the child: "You can't do this, it's too dangerous, and you will die if you fall."

The child asked curiously: "Why did they do such a dangerous thing, can't they wait until the next trip?"

“Because the bus only comes every one and a half hours, if they don’t catch this bus, they will be late. If they are late for work, they will be fined or even fired. If there is no job, there will be no income, and if there is no money, the loan will be repaid. , If you can’t pay the insurance, you can’t eat, you will be confiscated housing, medical care, everything. Therefore, I would rather fall to my death than miss work.”

The parents murmured in a low voice, originally they were educating their children, but the more they talked, the more worried they became.When the other people who squeezed into the car heard it, their faces became distressed.

The child asked curiously again: "Why don't you drive more cars, so that everyone can sit in it?"

The driver not far away was doing Tai Chi and said indifferently: "Will you buy a car with money? Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings. No amount of cars is better than none."

The driver said, glanced at a certain direction in the crowd, and continued driving without saying a word.

The child noticed the driver's gaze and looked in the same direction curiously.Then he tugged on the parent's sleeve and shouted, "Dad, look, there's a thief over there!"

As far as the eye can see, someone is reaching out to a certain lady's backpack.

His father quickly grabbed the child: "Shh, don't talk, it has nothing to do with us."

Even so, the child's voice just now was loud enough.Many people looked in that direction, and many people saw that sly-eyed guy.

However, these people just watched vigilantly, clutched their packages tightly, and said nothing.

The stolen lady turned around abruptly and stared at the thief with anger, vigilance and fear in her eyes.She seemed to want to leave, but she couldn't get out of the car, so she hugged her bag tightly and squeezed to another place.

Bang bang bang, amidst the sound of the car door, the bus was full of thieves and passengers.There was a dead silence in the car, no one spoke, and no one mentioned what happened just now, like a silent pantomime.

Twenty or ten minutes later, the car drove into the urban area from the suburbs, and the surrounding area gradually became bustling, and people got off the car one after another.

After another 10 minutes, we arrived at a business district.Many people got out of the car crowded, and all the people hanging on the buttocks of the car got off too. This is the loading and unloading place for salaried workers.

The car was immediately empty.

But the thief didn't get out of the car, instead he found an empty seat and sat down, staring vaguely at the father and son.

After another two stops, the father and son got up and got off the bus, and the thief followed immediately.

The father dragged the child to take two steps, but was quickly caught up by the thief.

The father stopped immediately and looked at the thief vigilantly: "What do you want to do? If you follow us again, I will call the police!"

"Call the police? Hahaha, what's the use of the police?" The thief laughed arrogantly: "But don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I don't want to do anything. I just think that children are so childish, they are so, cute, cute. "

As he spoke, he smiled strangely and stretched out his hand to the child.

On the surface, it seemed that he just wanted to reach out and touch the child's head.

But he himself knew that this touch had a hidden edge.

Not visible on the back of his hand, he held a slender blade between his fingers.This blade is usually used to scratch clothes and bags, but it is also good for scalp.

It was clear that he was going to succeed just now, but this little bastard got in the way.With so many people silent, why the fuck are you acting like a hero?
The road is rough, right?

Tongyan Wuji, right?

I will leave a long mark on your head today, so that you can improve your memory!
The thief had a ghostly smile on his face, and pressed hard on the top of the child's head.But the child's father didn't see anything abnormal from his perspective, and he stood aside ignorantly without any reaction.

But just when the stroke was about to hit the child's head, there was a bang, and the thief's hand was suddenly caught.

It was a man's hand.

big hands.

Thick, powerful, fast, accurate, and firmly grasped as soon as it is grasped.The thief is only one centimeter away from the top of the child's head, but this centimeter distance cannot be pressed.

The thief raised his head suddenly, only to see that it was a man more than two meters tall who grabbed him.

The shadow of the man fell upon the thief, making his face look terribly hideous.

The point is, this man is wearing a police uniform.

The thief panicked immediately.

But he already had the experience to deal with it, so he immediately stabilized himself and looked down.There was a shield-shaped badge on the man's left chest, on which was written the words "Nie Zhicheng Comprehensive Security Force-City Lower Police Station-Second Police Constable", and "CJSP" was also engraved in the middle of the shield-shaped badge.

The second-level police officer of the city's police station?
The thief straightened up immediately.

Second-level police officers have no right to handle cases independently, and they cannot use guns at will. They must wait for the approval of their superiors before they can use them.

Since you can't use a gun, what kind of fart is it in the city of Nie?

"What are you doing, officer?" The thief looked confident: "It's inappropriate to gossip in broad daylight, be careful and I'll sue you for excessive law enforcement!"

"Is it law enforcement or not? I'm just hanging out. I just want to see your bones and show you your palm." The man smiled kindly at the thief: "Look, this palmistry is rare in a hundred years!"

As he spoke, the man grabbed the back of the thief's hand and rubbed it vigorously.

Pfft, a blood arrow shot out directly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
