Chapter 26 Kui Ye
"Damn, it was just a little bit close!"
The scarred young man was a little annoyed. Just now, his palm almost hit Li Kui, just a little bit.
Li Kui became more and more calm. After a small test of his skills, he found that the [1.5x speed] blessing was all-round. Not only did his body move faster, but his reaction speed was also accelerated.
What is the reaction speed?
It refers to the human body's ability to respond quickly to various signal stimuli (sound, light, touch, etc.).
The reaction time of a person without specialized training is usually between 0.2 and 0.3 seconds, while a well-trained athlete can only reach 0.1 to 0.2 seconds.
Moreover, a person's reaction speed is almost innate, and the range of improvement through acquired training is very small.
But Li Kui’s reaction speed can be continuously improved!
Just accelerate and that's it.
"I didn't expect that you are also a martial arts practitioner and your body skills are pretty good."
The scarred young man took a deep breath and stopped to look at Li Kui. The expression on his face changed from contemptuous to solemn.
Li Kui said calmly: "If you don't accept it, you two can come together."
After hearing this, the scarred young man felt awe-inspiring.
He and his companions were both at level one, but the latter was not as good as him.
After all, he has mastered the footwork of "shrinking the ground into an inch", and his explosive speed is astonishing in one step.
But after the fight just now, he realized that Li Kui was not a good person. With his physique and movement speed, he looked more and more like a master.
"What the hell, the boss only said they were looking for a big guy with an unfamiliar face. They didn't even mention that this person was a master."
The scarred young man was under great pressure, and beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
At this moment, Li Kui walked to the corner and picked up an abandoned wheel. The axis was made of iron and was stained with rust.
He glanced at the two scarred young men, and then punched the axis.
There was a loud bang and the sound of metal hitting!
The two scarred young men looked at each other intently, both took a deep breath, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Li Kui smiled softly, cupped his hands and said: "You two, we are all gangsters in the street. If we don't fight, we won't know each other, why not make friends?"
The scarred young man and his companion looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope and said with a smile: "Brother Li, oh no, Mr. Kui Haihan, we are also acting under orders. We were so offended just now."
Li Kui: "There is a tavern over there. Can I buy you a drink?"
The scarred young man: "If you have any questions, we will ask you."
The three of them walked out of the alley, sat down in the tavern, and ordered a jar of wine and a few side dishes.
Li Kui picked up a bowl of wine: "I respect you."
The two scarred young men said together: "Let's drink to Mr. Kui."
After the three of them drank, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared and they got to know each other.
The scarred young man’s name is Li Yongqi, and the other’s name is Sun Kewen.
Li Yongqi couldn't help but ask: "Where did Mr. Kui make his fortune? With your strength, you shouldn't be an unknown person."
Li Kui: "I'm new here. You don't know me, and I don't know anyone."
Li Yongqi: "Then what is your relationship with Wu Chengdong? It was he who entrusted our Iron Sand Gang to find you."
Li Kui: "I was treated as a refugee and temporarily lived in a refugee camp."
"No wonder."
Li Yongqi suddenly realized.
Li Kui: "Do you know why Wu Chengdong is looking for me?"
Li Yongqi and Sun Kewen both shook their heads: "I don't know, but Wu Chengdong seems to be in a hurry and personally asked our gang leader."
Li Kui: "Your gang leader must obey Wu Chengdong?"
Li Yongqi laughed and said: "Master Kui doesn't know. Wu Chengdong is just a minor official in the surface city, but our gang leader is one of the 'Top Ten Kings' in the underground city. It's hard to say who listens to whom."
Sun Kewen nodded and said: "But Wu Chengdong is an official after all. The gang leader betrayed him to save face. Helping him find someone is just a favor."
Li Kui quickly understood.
There are as many as 150,000 people living in the mouse hole, a mixed bag of good and bad, dirty and messy!
In the past two days, Li Kui had been to several streets, but he did not see any official personnel managing order.
In other words, the order of this underground world is actually controlled by gangs.
Top ten kings!
They are the actual controllers of this underground world!
I'm drinking wine...
A man passed by outside, looked into the tavern, then ran in and came directly to Li Yongqi.
This man was also a young man with a big belly, sweating and panting. He said urgently: "Boss, I found you. Something happened in that alley again. This time three of us died!"
Li Yongqi took a breath and his expression changed.
"Fuck, three are dead!" Sun Kewen stood up, "It's haunted, it must be haunted again!"
Haunted?!
What does this mean?
Is there a ghost in this world!!
Li Kui narrowed his eyes when he heard this and asked, "What's haunting?"
Sun Kewen spread his hands and said: "It's just ghosts that harm people. Last month, there was a ghost in the 'Guppi Lane', and more than a dozen people died."
Ghosts...
Li Kui frowned, "Is the ghost you are talking about caused by the red moon?"
Sun Kewen: "Yes."
Li Kui: "But, I heard that Hongye City is protected by the God's Blessing Stone, and the red moon cannot affect this place. Isn't that true?"
Sun Kewen sighed: "Hongye City has the Blessed Stone, but it is only limited to the surface city!
We are under the surface city, which is equivalent to hiding from the rain under an umbrella. We are only partially protected, and our bodies may still get wet from the rain.
Whenever the red moon comes and enters the crazy month, many people in the underground city will still go crazy and turn into terrible pollutants."
Li Yongqi nodded: "That's how ghosts come from."
Li Kui: "What do ghosts look like? Are they also mutated after humans went crazy and lost control?"
"Master Kui has never met a ghost before?"
Li Yongqi was surprised, "Ghosts are not the result of someone going crazy and losing control, but those crazy people. The resentment, jealousy, hatred, injustice, and other emotions emanating from them have absorbed the power of the red moon."
Afterwards, a terrifying monster condensed.
The biggest characteristic of ghosts is that they are highly contagious and contagious, and they can possess people!
Damn it, those who are possessed tend to go crazy gradually, do heinous and crazy things, and may even mutate into new pollutants."
The corners of Li Kui's mouth twitched.
This world is definitely in the end of the world!
The fat-bellied young man yelled: "Boss, please hurry up and go over there. There's already a mess over there at Old Locust Tree Alley."
Li Yongqi quickly cupped his hands and said, "Master Kui, I'm sorry, I have to go take care of you. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
Li Kuilian said: "Be careful."
The three of them left quickly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Li Kui finished the food and wine slowly, paid the bill, got up and left, heading to Lantong Lane.
Halfway through, he saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of an alley, watching something.
Li Kui stepped forward, looked past the heads of the people, and saw three white cloths covering the ground at the entrance of the alley, with the outline of the human body faintly visible underneath.
Not far away, Li Yongqi was communicating with several companions, all of whom looked very ugly.
"Gah!"
