I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 207
Luden enjoyed a rare two days of peace.

He was immersed in the sea of ​​books all day long, learning all kinds of knowledge, and worked so hard that even Renn was ashamed.

For Luden, there are so many things to learn:

What happened in the last four hundred years.
The origin and structure of snowfields, highlands, foggy cities, and Shenbang
Technology, economy, religion, culture, customs.
Of course, these things cannot all be shown in books.

However, it is enough for Luden, who has just arrived, to have a general understanding of the world.

Last time in Shenbang, this process took Lu Deng almost half a year.

This time, with the assistance of the Inquisition Office, Luden was much more relaxed.

For the Inquisition Institute, this is a sure-fire deal.

With or without their help, Luden can achieve his goal, it's just a matter of spending a lot of energy.

Lighten the burden on Mr. Luden, and brush up the favorability of the immortal camp again.

This transaction is a real win-win situation.

In addition to reading, Luden is also responsible for teaching the children, teaching and interpreting the ancient sacred law.

For the events that happened hundreds of years ago, Mr. Luden can easily quote them from many sources, as if he had personally experienced them!
The children didn't have much interest in his class, but instead attracted Ryan.

He never thought that the new dean would be such a knowledgeable person!

Ren once said privately that the dean is really out of talent here, and should stay in Shenbang to serve as a judge or a university student!
However, considering the dean's name
It seems normal to be unable to get along in Shenbang.

The people of Shenbang respect and love Tribune Luden, and they never heard a single bad word about Tribune Luden from their mouths.

but,

The rulers of Shenbang don't want another living 'Mr. Ludden' in Shenbang.

As the Shenbang proverb says:

A Luden on a street lamp is a good Luden.

Luden's peaceful life was broken on the third day.

This is the appointed day.

A certain cadre in the Santa Fe neighborhood will report his work to Father Brando on this day.

The way they report their work is divine.

The meeting place is chosen in the church of the Thirteenth Church, the confessional.

The Thirteenth Holy Society is the religious belief of the Kingdom of God, even if it is the legal code of Wudu, it must be respected to a certain extent.

Nothing said in the confessional can be used as testimony in court.

Therefore, if the people of Shenbang wandering outside, if the content of the conversation involves a gray area, they will choose to communicate in the confessional room.

As agreed, Luden, wearing a mask, entered the confession room on time.

The confessional is a phone booth-style cubicle with seats, and holes and curtains in the partitions to facilitate communication and even the exchange of items.

Not long after Luden sat down, there was a coughing sound from the next door.

"Brandy?"

This is a highland wine, but it is extremely popular in Shenbang, and it is also a secret signal for the two parties to meet.

According to the agreement, Lu Deng replied,
"The street lights of Shenbang are on."

The connection code was set by Lu Deng. Although it was a bit strange, the cadres did not express any objection.

From the sound, it was not difficult for Luden to tell that the person sitting next to him was Canary Polly, who was in charge of the flesh and blood business in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

"Godfather, I greet you on behalf of everyone."

Saying that, a gold coin was stuffed into the hole.

This is a small gold coin of the Empire of God, weighing about 5 grams, with a portrait of Ryan Jager engraved on one side and a sword and shield on the other.

This small gold coin was minted to reward Ryan for his many contributions to Augustus. It has a large circulation and has no collection value as an antique. It can be used as a daily currency in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

Lu Deng accepted the gold coin, played with it on his fingertips, and said casually,

"You are afraid."

"Yes, Godfather."

There was panic in Canary Polly's voice, and she seemed to be crying,

"He killed one of my girls."

Jack the Ripper hasn't committed a crime these days, but has calmed down, as if the world has evaporated.

However, the case a few days ago obviously left a psychological shadow on Canary Polly.

"The Holy Code teaches us to be honest."

Luden shook his head and said coldly,
"Your fear does not come from this."

Canary Polly fell silent.

Luden continued to play with the gold coins in his hands, letting time pass by.

The Santa Fe neighborhood is the most chaotic and barren place in the city of fog, but there are tens of thousands of people living there, or even more!

On that street, there were three hundred girls who belonged to Polly, if not five hundred!
The guests they face every day are vulgar, rude and even violent.

In this kind of environment, girls can meet in any situation, and dead people are even more common!
The girls who went out disappeared, and sometimes they were found in other neighborhoods, and sometimes in the gutters or other places.

Canary Polly would never be afraid of the dead if she could get into this position.

Luden waited long enough.

The gold coin at his fingertips stopped, and he stuffed the gold coin back through the hole,

"Maybe, you should change to a godfather."

Polly said hastily,

"No, please forgive my ignorance, but my loyalty to you is absolutely spotless."

The gold coins were returned.

However, the small gold coin engraved with Ryan's appearance was replaced by a large gold coin engraved with Augustus.

"It's the way it is."

Polly didn't hesitate anymore, and told the whole story with one brain.

"These days, Jack the Ripper is picking prostitutes to kill. He once killed a girl in the Santa Fe neighborhood. It was Johnny the seahorse's cousin."

Listening to Polly's narration, Luden's expression gradually became strange.

This is an oolong.

Seahorse Johnny's cousin was killed by Jack the Ripper.

In order to avenge his relatives, Johnny began to track down the murderer. After searching, he found a clue.

A murderer hidden in the Santa Fe neighborhood, still under the protection of the godfather!
That's right, the person Jonny found was Todd.

After thinking that he had discovered the truth, Jonny approached the godfather, wanting to avenge his cousin, hoping to kill Todd himself.

But the godfather believed that Todd could not be the murderer.

From Johnny's point of view, the godfather was protecting a murderer and excused him!
Under the dispute, Jonny accidentally stabbed the godfather.

In a fit of rage, Johnny stabbed the godfather to death in a frenzy.

Later, before Johnny had time to avenge Todd, Todd was taken away by the security team.
Later, Brando, the new godfather, took office and has been to this day.

After Todd was caught, Jack the Ripper remained at large and even killed another prostitute to vent his anger.

Originally, the death of a prostitute was not a big deal to Polly.

But the problem is that Johnny's mentality has collapsed!
What happened to the old godfather was a complete tragedy.

Todd wasn't the Ripper, the old godfather died in vain.

After Polly finished speaking, the hoarse voice of the godfather came from the other side of the confessional,
"Tell Johnny he doesn't have to blame himself because he'll pay for his stupidity. Now, we have tougher problems."

Luden paused and said coldly,

"We have an informer among us."

It seemed a coincidence that Todd was arrested by the security team. In fact, someone had informed him, and his status was not low. He should be one of the cadres.

The godfather died mysteriously, the Ripper was hidden in the Santa Fe neighborhood, and the cadres could smell the coming storm.

At such critical times, destabilizing factors must be eliminated.

They are mice in dark corners, like thin ice in early spring, which will turn into water when it sees the sun.

In order to protect themselves, someone reported Todd to the security team to avoid further expansion of the security team's search.

Whistleblowing is not a tradition of Shenbang.

The Shenbang people who make a living outside have always been very united, and they are particularly strict with the security team.

Polly said with feigned surprise,

"An informant?"

Luden's evaluation: It's exaggerated at first glance.

Sauce score: 2.0 points.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Luden said in a deep voice,
"I'll find the whistleblower, I'll catch Jack the Ripper, and what you need to do is simple, wait for my news."

On the other side of the confessional, Polly nodded slightly and said respectfully,
"Yes, Godfather."

Then, she reported some trivial matters to Luden, and then slipped a check.

14 pounds 8 pence.

This is half a month's money, the price for enjoying the godfather's blessing.

Although, Godfather Brando hasn't done anything for her yet.

Looking at the amount on the check, Luden felt that it was a little small. This was the first check he received.

The moment the check was received, Luden was thinking about a question.
Is there a way to forge a check?

Ahem, he was just worried about the safety and reliability of the bank!
Absolutely nothing else!
【You just carried out a dirty underground operation, which undoubtedly seriously violated the laws of Wudu, but you will not be punished for it.】

[Trigger outlaw lunatic, get 5 pounds]

5 pounds is not a small amount for Luden.

During this trip, he earned 19 pounds and 8 pence, and 1 Shenbang gold coin.

Just as Luden was about to get up and leave, someone entered the confession room next door!

After slipping the check to Luden, Polly had already left. It was a rule that she had to leave before the godfather.

Luden pricked up his ears, it seemed that more than one person had entered the next door?

hiss--

This is a church, and the confessional is a place reserved for priests.

A bad premonition emerged in Luden's heart.

A magnetic male voice sounded,

"is it here?"

Then, there was the sobbing of a little boy.

Luden carefully walked through the hole and observed the opposite side, only the priest's back could be seen.

He was thinking about whether he should do something, such as maintaining public order and good customs, defending the sacred code, and bringing the crime to justice.

However, Luden only heard the sound of crying, and the priest did not move, but kept comforting the little boy.

It's a bit weird, listen again.

said the priest softly,

"You don't have to be afraid, everything you say here will be blessed by saints."

Hearing the words "sage", the child cried even louder, saying intermittently,

"He, he told me, this is Aisheng's guidance."

Holy crap!

Lu Deng cursed in his heart, even if Ai Sheng did such a thing, he would spend some money!

"No, he is not a saint."

The priest said seriously,

"Tribune Loudon shelters you at the lamppost."

Luden: .
He feels that there is always a kind of evil hidden in the proverbs of Shenbang.

So impolite!
The little boy continued,

"He told me that this matter should not be told to anyone, otherwise, after death, he would not be able to go to heaven for blessings."

The priest explained,

"Mr. Luden, the gatekeeper of Blessed Heaven, has a pair of eyes to distinguish between good and evil, and he will not wrong any pure soul."

Luden: .
In the religious belief of Shenbang, how many roles did [Luden] play?

Hearing Luden's name, the little boy burst into courage, hesitating about the dirty things that happened,

"He, he brought me here, he said that I have evil spirits on me, and he said that Aisheng guided him to help me."

"."

Listening to the following conversation, Luden's face darkened.

After a while.

Next to the confession room, a child with tears on his face walked out. He wiped away his tears and left the confession room with red eyes.

A priest came out calmly from behind the child.

Luden also happened to walk out, he didn't wear a mask, his face was sullen.

The other party noticed Lu Deng's existence, and without any embarrassment, he stepped forward to say hello.

"Hello, is this Mr. Luden?"

This well-mannered, even somewhat thin priest stretched out his hand, showing a holy smile,

"I am Father Phuket, and I have known you for a long time."
