Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!
Chapter 161 My name is Rosen, and I am a landlord
Rosen was surprised to find that the system had been upgraded at some point.
The first and second functions that were opened last time remain the same, and at most some new items have been added to the Dark Mall.
However, the third function has changed a lot, and a new function has been added.
“3. Give agents more freedom and authority.
From now on, the system will announce the worlds available for travel to you 72 hours in advance, and then you can decide where to go.
4. Extend the agent's stay in the adventure world.
After the agent successfully completes the adventure, he can stay for another 7 days for free.
If you need to stay longer, you will need to pay merit points. 10 merit points on the first day, and 5 points for each additional day of stay thereafter.
The maximum stay cannot exceed 365 days.
Note: Although the adventure world is great, don’t get addicted to it. ”
Article 4 was very tempting to Lawson, but it felt painful when it saw the charging standards.
Even with the merit points he had worked so hard to accumulate, he might not be able to stay in the adventure world for too long.
The system is getting more and more cunning, trying to fleece me in various ways.
Rosen secretly complained in his heart, and then said, "Assistant, I want to check the world I can travel to next time."
"The worlds you can travel to next time are 1: The Shawshank Redemption and 2: Leon: The Professional. Please choose carefully. You can set off at any time."
To be honest, Rosen really likes The Shawshank Redemption and really wants to help Andy so that this bird with the glory of freedom on its feathers can leave that damn prison as soon as possible.
But when he thought that the story began in the late 1940s and ended in the 1970s or 1980s, he decided to give up.
Because the purpose of his travel this time was not for adventure, but to use the current world as a springboard to find and continue to accompany the pregnant Diana until he had to leave.
But the time difference is too big.
So much so that he didn't even dare to gamble.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a big deal if the Diana found was just the Diana from this time period.
He was afraid that his appearance would disrupt time and space and cause the pregnant Diana to disappear. Then he would really not be able to cry even if he found a way out.
There is no problem with this The Professional being Leon.
The plot takes place around the 1990s, and the location is New York, which is right after the timeline of Bumblebee, making it perfect to use it as a springboard.
"Assistant, I'm going to play Leon the Professional."
"Your journey will consume 1100 merit points. Please prepare yourself and set off immediately."
...........................
July 1994, Little Italy, New York.
When Leon, a killer who had just completed a business deal, returned to his apartment, he went to the nearby convenience store as usual to buy two cartons of milk, then put them in a well-used suitcase and walked up the stairs to his residence on the 6th floor.
At this time, 12-year-old Matilda was sitting by the metal carved stairs on the 6th floor smoking. There were scars on her little face, and a melancholy beyond her age.
She heard Leon's footsteps coming up the stairs, and quickly put the cigarette on the ground. Then she secretly looked at Leon, who was wearing sunglasses and had a cold face.
It was not until he walked behind her that she said in a childish voice, "Hi."
Leon stopped, turned his head to look at her, and asked, “Why do you hide the cigarettes?”
"This building is infested with rats. I don't want to be discovered by my old man. I'm in enough trouble already," Matilda said calmly.
Leon lowered his head slightly, looked at Matilda closely, saw the wound on her face, and asked, "What happened?"
"I fell off my bicycle."
Leon turned and left without saying anything.
"Hey, don't tell my dad about the cigarettes, okay?" Matilda said again when Leon was about to disappear at the end of the corridor.
Leon said nothing, just nodded slightly and walked away.
When he opened the door of room 6D, the door of room 6A next to it suddenly opened.
"There have been a lot of financial disputes these days. That kid must have done it..."
Matilda heard the sound and hurriedly threw the cigarette butt down the stairs.
"Do you know when that boy went out?"
"I don't know how it happened. What can I do? I'm just a custodian." Matilda's father's voice came from the room. "I'm only responsible for keeping things, just like you are only responsible for handing things over to me."
"I didn't even touch the stuff. I didn't even know how to dilute it."
Before he could finish his defense, he was interrupted by the burly man in black leather jacket opposite him: "Listen carefully, okay?"
"When we handed it over to you in June, it was still 100 percent pure. When we got it back in July, it was only 90 percent pure."
The man in the black leather jacket suddenly raised his voice and said, "Between June and July, 10% were stolen."
"I don't know. It's none of my business."
When Matilda heard her father's voice, she quickly took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth, trying to cover up the smell of cigarettes in her mouth.
"You give the things to me and I'm only responsible for keeping them. That's all I know." Matilda's father was still trying to quibble.
"Hey, listen, I'm trying to help you." The man in the black leather jacket said, "But if you refuse to tell the truth, I'll have to bother him."
As he said this, he pointed to Stanfield, who was wearing a neat suit and listening to music attentively with a pair of yellow headphones.
He was a narcotics enforcement officer, but secretly participated in drug trafficking and made a lot of black money.
Matilda's father was originally an informant for the drug enforcement police, but because of greed, he secretly hid a small bag of drugs. Now he was found, but he was still hoping for a lucky break.
"Let me tell you, he hates it most when others disturb him when he is listening to music, otherwise he will become very irritable." The man in black leather jacket continued to threaten.
"I told the truth."
"It's better this way." The man in the black leather jacket said, "Because he has the ability to sniff out lies. It's scary, almost like a sixth sense. Now do you want to change your statement, or do you want to provoke him to get angry?"
"I'm telling the truth," Matilda's father emphasized again.
The man in black leather sighed, turned around and walked to Stanfield and said, "Stan, I'm sorry. You heard it too. He said he didn't take it."
"Oh." Stanfield turned around, moved closer to Matilda's father and began to sniff slowly.
The latter swallowed and gradually became uneasy.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A voice came from the stairs.
A black-haired young man walked up with a bunch of keys in his left hand, a half-smoked cigarette in his right hand and a lollipop in his mouth.
He looked at Stanfield, who was almost hugging Matilda's father and sniffing his face, and said, "I don't forbid homosexuality here, but please go to the room. After all, there are children watching here, it's not decent."
"Who the hell are you! What does what we do have to do with you?" the man in black leather jacket said unhappily, pressing his waist, revealing the outline of a pistol.
"I am the owner of this building. My name is Rosen. You are standing on my spot now." Rosen shook the keychain in his hand and said, "So you'd better respect me, otherwise get out."
Note: I don’t know why I always feel that it’s better to say bicycles when the story takes place in China, and it’s more interesting to translate it as bicycles when it’s in a foreign context. I suspect it’s influenced by the old Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
If any reader dad has similar feelings, welcome to discuss.
