He smiled freely and said: "Actually, it's not bad. Although the factory is a bit tiring, if I save a little money, I can still take care of my own life."

Chen Yan felt quite complicated at this time.

Jack Baldo dared to tell such news, which was equivalent to handing over his own handle to him.

The Powder Keg Gang is not a small, precarious gang made up of gangsters, but a powerful underground force with a long history composed of extraordinary Franji people.

Taking this into consideration, Chen Yan understood that Jack Baldo had consciously handed over the chips to him.

He really wants to live here.

Chen Yan knew that he must have other purposes for doing this.

But the chips he handed over... were so sincere.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment and decided to exchange his chips to show his sincerity.

He hid the most important part of his dream and then said it.

"I found you through a dream..."

When Chen Yan told this story, the street lights were already on on Walker Street.

The increasingly fierce wind and snow obscured the view outside the window. Even under the light of the street lights, Walker Street was still completely white, and it was impossible to even see outside from the windows of the residents on both sides of the street.

The occasional sparks jumping above the embers in the bread oven made the night more peaceful, and the white noise triggered by the steam lifting the lid of the teapot was even more peaceful.

The dream described by Chen Yan seemed particularly magical in such an environment.

After listening to Chen Yan's words, Jack Baldo smiled bitterly and said: "Ah, is that true... I have long heard that some extraordinary people in Yanan City can see reality through dreams... What a wonderful ability."

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "I'm very worried about Marlena... and the child in her belly."

This kind of concern has no reason. Chen Yan only knows that this kind of concern does not come from his own "morality" or "kindness".

Where this concern comes from, Chen Yan himself cannot explain clearly.

He just had this idea in his mind after finishing that dream:

That child needs protection.

Jack Bardo asked: "Is this worry because you [played] the child in the dream? So you have some kind of empathy?"

Chen Yan thought for two seconds and then slowly said: "I can't tell... but I always feel that that child has something to do with me... maybe it's just my imagination."

Jack Baldo patted Chen Yan on the shoulder: "No matter what, I have to protect the child from being born smoothly, so there is no need to worry!"

Chen Yan said thoughtfully: "Are you going back to keep vigil tonight?"

Jack Baldo grinned: "Of course! What a sacred mission it is to protect a pregnant woman!"

Chen Yan nodded and said: "I will leave a room on the first floor of the apartment for you - provided you have to pay the rent!"

And you two! You heard it too! Pay me the rent quickly!

Jack Baldo stood up. He seemed quite satisfied with the meeting. With a heartfelt smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and said to Chen Yan, "Then, we are close friends now!"

We are best friends once we meet. Your best friend is too worthless...

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "I hope we can get along happily."

Give me the list as soon as possible...

Chen Yan did not say this immediately because it would appear that he was too eager for quick success.

He was thinking about how to tactfully hint to the other party, but suddenly he felt a pain in the palm of his hand.

He took out his hand as if he was electrocuted, and saw that there was already a burned pattern on the palm of his hand - it was a sun with ugly and abstract features!

"So, now, you have the emblem of the sun."

Jack Baldo smiled, picked up a piece of charcoal from the bread oven next to him, and drew a line of spells with unknown words on the ground.

"This is my special spell.

When you encounter difficulties, draw this charm, stand on it, open your arms to the sky, and shout "Praise the Sun!"

I will answer your call! Appear beside you!"

Chen Yan and the others looked at Jack Baldo's exaggerated movements and were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads.

"Summoning is about summoning. Can you please stop playing in such awkward ways..."

Jack Baldo laughed, and then took out a piece of paper that had been warmed by his body from his arms.

Under the dim kerosene lantern, there were not only sweat stains on the paper, but also some dried blood drops. There were also burn marks in the corners, but those marks were not obvious. It seemed that they were burned quickly after being lit.

extinguished.

"This is Mr. Mogwen's list."

Jack Baldo's expression became serious for the first time:

"This list has been circulated in Yanan City several times in the past few months, and has been guarded by many people with their lives. Please be sure to keep this thing... People's blood cannot be shed in vain."

Chen Yan became solemn, took the list with both hands, folded it, and put it into the inner pocket of his clothes.

"Please rest assured, I will not let this list leak under any circumstances."

As for the agreement with Claude Moon... let's put it aside for now.

Jack Baldo nodded: "Since Mr. Mogwen chose you, there must be his reason. I believe you are trustworthy."

Chen Yan was noncommittal about this.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether the encounter with Johnny Mogwen at the zoo at night was a pure coincidence or something else...

He also didn't understand why Jack Baldo trusted him so much.

At this moment, Jack Baldo actually saw Chen Yan's doubts.

He patted Chen Yan's shoulder again.

"I think you're a good guy—that's all."

He grinned: "Besides, Mr. Mogwen's vision is never wrong. I've known about this since the day he rescued me from the dog cage."

Before Chen Yan could understand, he waved to Chen Yan:

"Anyway, that's it for now!

The night has come, the bastards in the darkness are about to appear, and it's time for me to go back.

Goodbye, dear friend!"

He just left the kitchen and walked towards the door.

Chen Yan wanted to send him out, but saw him stop at the gate, turned around and said loudly: "My dear friend! When you call me next time, if the voice is loud enough and the emotion is rich enough, I will hear you more clearly!

"

The embarrassment on Chen Yan's face was so intense that it was almost dripping with water, and she responded to him with the same loud voice: "I will never use such a shameful method in my life!"

Jack Bardo responded with a bright smile, stood at the door, stretched his arms to the sky, and shouted: "Praise to the sun!"

Then he walked out of the door and closed the door behind his back.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and was stunned for half a minute before he suddenly realized something, his face changed, and he rushed out.

Jack Baldo's figure has disappeared into the snow.

I forgot to ask Marina’s due date…
