A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 19 Hong Kong's Great World

The 1960s was a period of great upheaval, and Hong Kong Island was shrouded in darkness, becoming synonymous with chaos.

In the streets and alleys, the underworld and the police collude with each other, and crime grows like weeds, as if an invisible giant net tightly binds the entire Hong Kong Island. Here, people's lives are deeply affected, and their sense of security is completely gone.

"Ding, welcome to the Hong Kong World of Variety Shows. You are now checking in and transmitting your character information." As the crisp notification sound rang out, Ji Lin slowly opened his eyes and then saw the relevant information appear in front of him.

Name: Ji Lin

Identity: A recent police academy graduate, currently working as a street patrol officer.

Mission: To become the top police officer in Hong Kong Island before 97.

Ability: Beauty Compendium.

After receiving this information, Ji Lin couldn't help but give a wry smile. This dimensional world was truly like a hodgepodge, with various forces intertwined in a complex and intricate web.

Among them, the four detectives, led by Lui Lok, were like ferocious beasts entrenched on Hong Kong Island, controlling large tracts of territory and resources.

Meanwhile, numerous triad societies emerged, with names like Luen Shing, Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and Kowloon Walled City resembling ticking time bombs, ready to explode at any moment.

"Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, only in this way can we better complete the system tasks."

Ji Lin murmured something under his breath, then checked the Beauty Encyclopedia, a sign-in ability. This ability could automatically collect beauties with a rating of 80 or higher. After the host increased their favorability to 100 through various actions, the encyclopedia would automatically issue random rewards to the host, and the higher the rating, the richer the reward.

After familiarizing himself with this world, Ji Lin, dressed in the green uniform of a patrol officer, began patrolling his designated location.

It's worth mentioning that this was in 1960. At this time, Lui Lok had not yet become the all-powerful Chief Detective of China. However, according to the information transmitted by the system, Lui Lok was preparing to unify the Kowloon Walled City underworld, which is somewhat similar to the plot of "Chasing the Dragon".

Kowloon Walled City was a lawless area, like a malignant tumor deeply embedded in the skin of Hong Kong Island, exuding an aura of decay and evil.

Along the street, Ji Lin followed closely behind the seasoned-looking uniformed policeman, listening intently as he recounted the various complex matters that uniformed policemen had to face and handle every day.

On both sides of the street, ragged vendors scurried about like busy ants, hawking their wares. The cacophony of voices from the vendors was like the clamor of hell.

When one's gaze falls upon those shops, what comes into view is nothing short of nauseating—the gambling dens gleam with greedy glints, the opium dens are filled with intoxicating smoke, and the brothels emanate unbearable noises.

As the uniformed policeman spoke, he casually picked up two sweet cakes from a street vendor's stall, handing one to Ji Lin. The vendor seemed quite used to this, showing no anger or displeasure whatsoever. Instead, he smiled broadly, bowing and scraping to them as if trying to curry favor.

As Ji Lin watched the uniformed policeman eat and walk away, a strange emotion welled up inside him. He silently put the sugar cake back on the vendor's stall, and under the vendor's questioning gaze, he quietly turned and left.

And so, as the day's patrol came to a close, everything Ji Lin had witnessed seemed to coalesce into a single, shocking word—"chaos." As a man of some refinement, Ji Lin felt a deep sorrow for this dark era.

In order to complete that crucial main mission, and with a strong desire to allow the people of this era to live a more peaceful life, Ji Lin secretly made up his mind to break free from his current predicament as quickly as possible.

As the first rays of sunlight shone down the next morning, Ji Lin took leave and stayed firmly in Kowloon Walled City.

Just yesterday, Ji Lin learned that Lei Luo would be visiting Kowloon Walled City today for a negotiation concerning the interests of all parties.

Ji Lin carefully hid in the shadows. Before long, he keenly sensed a group of menacing people slowly walking towards him. The person at the front had a figure and demeanor that vaguely resembled Andy Lau.

"It seems this person is none other than Lei Luo." Ji Lin stared intently at the man with a somewhat similar face, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes. Then, like a ghost, he quietly slipped into the heart of Kowloon Walled City.

After a difficult journey of traversing and dodging, they finally arrived at a secluded corner where no one was around. Ji Lin then slowly revealed his true form and waited patiently.

Time ticked by, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

Not long after, several sharp gunshots shattered the silence, booming like thunder over Kowloon Walled City. Immediately afterward, Lei Luo was seen stumbling and running out of the dilapidated building, his face filled with terror and panic.

"Lei Luo killed Master Ding!" These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar. People in the crowd glared angrily, their eyes flashing with fierce light, and they began to chase after the fleeing Lei Luo like wild beasts.

In an instant, the entire Kowloon Walled City descended into chaos, with shouts and curses mingling together.

Lei Luo hurried through the alleys of the walled city alone, occasionally raising his pistol to fire behind him. Just as he was about to turn a corner, he slipped and fell to the ground.

Seeing Lei Luo fall to the ground, a burly man was about to raise his machete to kill him when Ji Lin suddenly leaped out and jabbed the man's arm with two fingers. The man was in excruciating pain, and his machete fell from his hand. Ji Lin caught it, and with a swift movement, the man lost an arm.

Ji Lin immediately rushed into the crowd, slashing left and right, and blood gushed out in an instant, shocking everyone into not daring to approach.

Finally finding a moment, Ji Lin helped Lei Luo, who had fallen to the ground, to his feet. Lei Luo had witnessed the entire fierce battle and hurriedly asked, "Where's Piggy? Where's Piggy?"

"Sorry, Brother Luo, I'm not Brother Zai's man." Upon hearing this, Lei Luo's eyes dimmed instantly. Just before Lei Luo entered the walled city, Piggy gave him a signal gun, but he lost it during the escape and is now unable to contact the outside world.

Raymond felt that this Kowloon Walled City might become his burial place.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a full beard came to Ji Lin and the others. "Brother Luo, I am Wu Shih-hao. Don't worry, with me here today, you will definitely get out of here alive."

Then, Wu Shih-hao, gun in hand, warily surveyed the crowd: "As the saying goes, 'A debt of gratitude is remembered for a thousand years.' Didn't your parents teach you this? If you let Brother Luo go today, I, Ah-hao, will repay you in the future..."

"Give me back my mother! Everyone, attack! Leave no one alive! Whoever kills Lei Luo will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan in cash!" A voice that seemed to come from nowhere excited everyone present.

In an era when a bowl of wontons costs only a few cents, 100,000 yuan is already a huge sum of money.

Thus, a fierce melee erupted. Ji Lin, wielding two machetes, swept through the enemy ranks with unstoppable force, his white clothes now stained crimson with blood. In the chaos, someone stumbled upon a nearby fireworks stall, and bursts of fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the sky.

A few minutes later, Piggy led a group of riot police to Ji Lin and his group.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, are you alright?" Piggy came to Lei Luo's side and hurriedly helped him up. Fortunately, with Ji Lin's protection, Lei Luo only had a few scratches.

Then, with the help of Zhuyouzai, Lei Luo stood up and walked to Ji Lin.

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

"Reporting to Brother Luo, patrol officer Ji Lin is here to report." After introducing himself, Ji Lin explained to Lei Luo that he had risked infiltrating the walled city to protect Brother Luo because he was worried about his safety.

"Good brother, from today onwards, you are an undercover police officer." Lei Luo praised loudly, drawing envious glances from the surrounding police officers.

At this moment, two policemen carried Wu Shih-hao, whose leg had been broken, out of the alley. It turned out that during the earlier brawl, Wu Shih-hao had been ambushed and dragged into the alley. It seems he'll find it hard to shake off the nickname "Crippled Ho."

"Ah Hao, rest and recover. I will avenge this." After arranging for two of his men to take Wu Shih-hao to the hospital, Lei Luo's demeanor instantly turned cold and resolute.

Ji Lin stared at Lei Luo, whose face was gloomy, and vaguely sensed that he was exuding a bit of the ruthlessness of Jia Hui from "Money Empire".

"Ah Lin, would you be willing to accompany me on this journey?"

“Yes, Brother Luo.”

After changing his demeanor, Lei Luo brought Ji Lin to Gongzai Qiang and said in a deep voice, "Ah Lin, how do you think I can torture him to relieve my hatred?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin bent down, picked up the machete from the ground, and without hesitation slashed at Gongzai Qiang... Before long, Gongzai Qiang's entire body was covered in wounds. Ji Lin would show no mercy to such social scum.

Gongzai Qiang had already lost his voice from screaming, and under Ji Lin's torment, he was gradually losing his life.

"Impressive skills, Ah Lin, you're definitely a trained fighter."

"Brother Luo, you flatter me. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child."

Ji Lin and Lei Luo stood in the center of the fortress, chatting and laughing, a stark contrast to the horrific scene of bloodshed all around them...
