"Pell?"

Kate was a little confused as to why Jock suddenly mentioned the owner of the buying station, but she still replied truthfully:

"Boss Per is a nice guy."

The reason why Jock mentioned Pell was because the acquisition station was the only place he could think of to place Kate at the moment.

The garbage area is really too dangerous, and animals that have been contaminated by machinery are often found. It is difficult for Kate to continue living here safely.

What Jock is more worried about is that he is afraid that the hyena gang will anger Kate because of himself and come to cause trouble for her.

In short, no matter what, this place is no longer suitable for Kate to live alone.

Jock had learned about the prices in the elite area before coming here. With his current economic conditions, if the seventh class didn't include food and accommodation, he wouldn't even be able to afford his own daily life, let alone take Kate with him.

Including rent and daily expenses, a person's average monthly minimum consumption in an elite area requires at least about 2,000 credit points.

In the slums, you only need 300 credits per month to live a very good life.

However, most of the places where credit points can be consumed in the slums are in the lawless area, which is the core area of ​​the entire slum and the most prosperous place, where many gangs are entrenched.

Poor people in peripheral areas basically barter, and occasionally trade a small amount of coins.

The overall public security in the slums is very poor. Here, the dominance of gangs far exceeds the power of the government. This does not mean that the government is incapable, but there are many unknown dirty transactions.

Jock is also worried about Kate's safety if she is allowed to live there.

After much deliberation, the only place to go is the purchasing station.

Jock thought carefully and said:

"Kate, you are no longer suitable to continue living here. I plan to send you to the acquisition station and let Pell take you in. Of course, I will pay your living expenses."

"Do you think...Pell will agree?"

"Ah?!" Kate was confused by what he said. She looked at Jock in surprise, immediately lowered her head and whispered back: "I...I don't know..."

"How much did you and Rupert spend each month?"

"About 50 Camilla."

Jock knew that Kate was talking about Beccamilla. Except for Silver Camilla and Gold Camilla, who would say their full names, Beccamilla was directly referred to as Camilla.

Jock checked the current exchange rate, and 50 Camila is almost 55 credits.

"How much do you think it will cost to live a good life in a slum every month?"

After hearing this, Kate looked up and thought, as if she was calculating the cost.

Although she lives in the worst garbage area in the slums, she still knows the prices here very well.

Rupert was a man of action who was not very bright when he was alive. Kate has always been responsible for taking care of the daily life of the two brothers and sisters.

After about half a minute, Kate gave him a rough number: 280 Camilla.

'Well, it's similar to what I learned before. It seems there is hope for Pell.'

"Then you pack your things. Let's go to the acquisition station first. If Pell doesn't agree, I will take you to find a house in the lawless zone." Jock said directly without further discussion with Kate.

In fact, if it weren't for the promise he made because of the test fit ceremony, he would never have contacted Kate again.

No matter in which world there are, there are too many people in need of help, but Jock never thinks of himself as the savior.

If Kate is settled early, he can investigate the incident with peace of mind and let himself survive.

"Oh, okay."

Kate was still a little confused until now, but she knew that Jock was doing it for her own good, so she quickly started to pack it up.

"Do you need my help?"

"No... no need." Kate quickly refused.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you at the door!"

Girls more or less have some private belongings of their own. In order to avoid embarrassment, Jock took the initiative to leave the room.

Kate looked at his back as he stepped out of the room, feeling a little worried.

'Why am I a little scared...'

Immediately, she rubbed her face with both hands.

'Kate, don't think so wildly! How could Brother Jock harm you?'

Kate recalled the scene where the brother and sister kidnapped him, and later Jock let her and her brother go.

'Brother Jock is a good man.'

At this time, the scene of Jock killing Joseph and Pine appeared in her mind.

'Well, a nice guy with a bit of a quirk...'

Kate pinched herself hard, then put back her racing thoughts and put them away with peace of mind.

...

At this moment, Jock was standing outside the door, analyzing the information on Partridge's disappearance.

'A total of five police officers disappeared twice, so the police station reported it to the National Police Agency and handed the case over to Section 7.'

'Enoch still lives in District 39. From this point of view, he doesn't have much problem for the time being.'

‘Morton’s subsequent investigative report… only involved the Lobia church where Father Barron was located, but there was no breakthrough.’

'If that's the case... then why is he missing?'

'I'm sure that the police officers who went to investigate were not really concerned about Cherry's disappearance, but they all disappeared.'

'Did they discover something? Or was it a coincidence?'

'Cherry's disappearance is very problematic, it feels more like running away from home.'

'She likes Kara very much.'

...

Jock's thoughts were whirling, but he was suddenly interrupted by Kate's voice.

"Brother Jock, I've packed it up."

He turned around and saw Kate approaching with a trolley.

There are not many things on the trolley, mainly a large dark cloth bag.

Jock walked over and took the handle and said to Kate: "I'll do it."

"Thank you, brother Jock!" Kate said obediently and stepped aside.

"Are you sure everything is done?"

"kindness."

"Then let's go."

Qiao pulled the cart and strode forward. He remembered the way to the purchasing station.

After walking a few steps, he looked back and saw that the door of the house was wide open, and then he looked at Kate.

"Don't you lock the door?"

Kate smiled and shook her head:

"No, if someone in need finds it, they can live in it. I also left some food in the house."

Hearing what Kate said, Jock nodded suddenly.

He pulled the trolley and walked a little fast, and Kate followed closely behind.

Along the way, Jock captured 7 rats with his pistol.

He first paralyzed the rats with plasma bombs, and then stabbed them in the eyes with a knife to end their lives.

In this way, the rat corpse was extremely well preserved and no longer looked like the bloody mess it had before.

‘One more chip.’ Jock strung them up and put them on the trolley.

…

The two finally arrived at the purchasing station.

As soon as he saw Per, Jock said to him directly:

"Rupert passed away unexpectedly. I plan to temporarily place Kate with you."

Pell raised his goggles and replied expressionlessly:
Chapter completed!
