Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Old Liang used an unbelievable tone, but saw Natalie nodding with certainty. "right here."

"No way, do you really want us to live here?" Lao Liang and Grandma Liu looked to the left and then to the left as if entering the Grand View Garden, and saw no other side houses except the mansion in front of her.

Usually he lives in a low-rent house in the city, where a dozen big men live in a single room with bunk beds.No way, saving rent is saving life.

Natalie tilted her head, and sighed casually: "I also think he's mentally ill—ah no, I mean, my friend likes to be lively, and he has a lot of vacant rooms, so he simply rents it out to others .”

Old Liang nodded approvingly: "This is a good deed."

Five minutes later, they met the friend Natalie had mentioned in the living room.

The moment he saw that person, Xie Xingyin's eyes really brightened.

——The owner of this house turned out to be the young man he had seen under the tower in the evening.

He was leaning against the sofa, talking to someone, with a playful smile in his eyes, and the two legs that were casually crossed were straight and slender, and they were ridiculously long.

Although Xie Xingyin recognized him, he didn't expect him to recognize himself.Just a passerby passing by.

Soon the man saw them too.Sure enough, he didn't remember Xie Xingyin, but he politely extended his hand to Xie Xingyin. "Lu Fen."

While stretching out his hand, Xie Xingyin caught a glimpse of a thin layer of calluses on the pulp of his right index finger and the tiger's mouth, as if it was the result of holding a gun for a long time.

Xie Xingyin shook hands with him lightly, almost letting go immediately, feeling that the fingertips of the other party were a bit cold.

Lu Fen is already an adult in stature, but looks very young, estimated to be only about 20 years old.Xie Xingyin asked, and it was true.

"Brother Xie is four years older than me, so I should call you brother." Lu Fen looked down at the wine glass in his hand.

Xie Xingyin quickly waved his hands: "No need."

Natalie is a doctor of the Daylight Guild, since she is her friend.Based on this limited relationship between the two, Xie Xingyin was still unable to determine the identity of the person in front of him, but this young man was certainly not simple.

Let him call himself a newcomer brother, it really feels like taking advantage of others.

After chatting casually for a few words, Lu Fen took them upstairs to arrange a room.

Lao Liang and Xiao Yan were accommodated on the second floor. I heard that there were other guests there, so there were only these two vacant rooms left on the second floor.

"Old Xie, why don't we squeeze together?" Lao Liang suggested, "The room is so big and the bed is spacious enough, it's fine for us to share one bed."

Xie Xingyin was about to agree, when suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Fen standing behind him, staring into his eyes with his head tilted:

"Not suitable, there are still many empty rooms upstairs. Come with me, brother."

Xie Xingyin could vaguely hear some displeasure in Lu Fen's tone, and he was a little confused.It's no big deal for two people to share a room, after all, a silver coin for a week is already an absolute friendly price.

But Lu Fen insisted: "A friend of a friend is my friend. My brother is willing to live with me, so I definitely can't neglect it."

Lu Fen led Xie Xingyin upstairs, walking two or three steps ahead of him.Xie Xingyin's eyes just fell on his waist.

She had a beautiful and well-proportioned figure wrapped in a black silk shirt, and she was faintly moved when she walked.

It can be seen from his silent walking posture that Lu Fen is very skilled, he must have practiced.

On the third floor, there are indeed many empty rooms, and because of the small number, they are relatively more spacious than the layout on the second floor.

Lu Fen led Xie Xingyin straight into the innermost room.Xie Xingyin didn't bring anything, so there was no need to tidy up.

But Lu Fen was very considerate, seeing that he didn't even have a change of clothes, he said, "If you don't mind, you can wear mine first."

So Xie Xingyin followed Lu Fen into his room, Lu Fen opened the cabinet door, and Xie Xingyin was standing by the desk not far away.

It was inconvenient to walk around in other people's rooms, so Xie Xingyin just stood still.Looking down, he saw a black Rubik's cube on the desk, and a black knife lying beside it.

this is not……

Xie Xingyin's eyes suddenly showed some doubts, and he raised his eyes to look at Lu Fen's figure.

Isn't this Rubik's cube and knife Xiao Lu?

Xie Xingyin only remembered at this time, no wonder he felt a slight sense of familiarity with Lu Fen.It wasn't because he had met Lu Fen, but because his facial features were somewhat similar to Xiao Lu's.

再加上他们同姓陆，谢行吟在心里琢磨着：难不成小陆就是陆焚的弟弟吗？

Over there, Lu Fen found a few clothes from the closet that he had only worn once or twice, and handed them to Xie Xingyin: "Brother, try it, it might be a little too big."

Lu Fen was younger than him, but taller by nearly ten centimeters.

Xie Xingyin made a gesture, the size was indeed a little bigger, but it was barely fit.

When going out, Xie Xingyin watched Lu Fen close the door casually, and asked him, "Do you have a younger brother?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Fen smiled at him: "Xiao Lu told me about you."

really.Xie Xingyin nodded and asked a few words, knowing that Xiao Lu was not left in the tower, he was finally relieved.

陆焚也就顺着他话说下去，捏造出了一个自闭儿童的形象，冲谢行吟眨了眨眼睛：“我这个弟弟，胆子小还黏人，多谢哥哥照顾了。”

Before coming here, Xie Xingyin never thought that one silver coin a week's rent could cover food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The huge dining table was filled with bowls and dishes containing meals, and a set of silver tableware was placed in front of everyone, and a porcelain vase with flowers was placed in the middle, which looked extremely formal.

Lao Liang was so happy to go to heaven holding the bowl and chopsticks.After eating compressed biscuits and instant noodles in Wangchuan's apartment for so long, I finally ate normal food.

Xie Xingyin observed quietly, there were no dark dishes such as fried pork with devil's rattan, so he felt relieved and picked up his chopsticks.

He still suspects that the Devil Vine Stir-fried Pork is only a specialty of the Daytime Guild, after all, whoever is so tough can get that kind of thing casually.

Xiaoyan knew how to cook, and had been helping them in the kitchen just now, now he brought the last pot of soup with his gloves on, and sat down on the empty seat.

"The church will raise taxes again in two days." Lao Liang said to Xie Xingyin, "Do you want to exchange gold coins earlier?"

Xie Xingyin didn't understand what he meant, but Lu Fen on the other side heard this, put down the wine glass in his hand calmly, and cursed coldly: "The gang of locusts."

Seeing someone start, Liang Xing also cursed the church. "That's right, it's also a magic stick, why do I always get looked at by people, foreign magic sticks are noble!"

Xie Xingyin didn't know much about the things in the main city when he first arrived, so Lu Fen explained to him.It turned out that the church controlled the banks and exchange agencies, and anyone who wanted to exchange their living time into gold coins would have to collect tax commissions.

Xie Xingyin also felt that this was unreasonable, and frowned and said, "Can't we trade around them?"

"You can also trade in the private black market, but it's not safe, and it's often heard that people are killed." Lu Fen said.

Xie Xingyin nodded.Time is life here, and private transactions are indeed dangerous.But he didn't understand one thing: "But why can the church manage banks and exchange institutions?"

It turned out that at the beginning of Judgment Day, the bishop used the name of the church to acquire power. People blindly believed that this was God's will when they panicked, and the church that conveyed God's will also enjoyed supreme rights.

Until the construction of the city was on the right track, various player guilds and management organizations were born, and the authority of the church was gradually weakened, but a lean camel was bigger than a horse.The church still has a sizable following, and it still retains tax privileges.

"It's fine to charge a handling fee," Lu Fen smiled coldly, "A few years ago, when the power of the church covered the sky with only one hand, they dared to ask everyone to pay taxes to buy atonement in the name of the so-called God's will. Coupon'."

"Is there really someone willing to pay?"

Old Liang muttered, "There are always some idiots who like to rush to send money to die..."

From a dispassionate point of view, these congregants seemed foolish enough to believe in the church's plans.But thinking about it carefully, Xie Xingyin thought it was understandable.

People suddenly fell into the fear of the unknown, always need to use faith to comfort themselves, try to give themselves some hope.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen smell bad, and the roads are frozen to death. They built villas all over the mountains and plains, and we are so poor that we can't even afford food." Lao Liang angrily cut a piece of meat with a knife and fork, and then realized that Lu Fen was looking at him, "Ah , Brother Lu, I'm not talking about you."

Lu Fen nodded to express that he didn't mind, and Lao Liang felt relieved, and asked him, "But I'm curious, Brother Lu, you are not very old, this house..."

"It was inherited from my father." Lu Fen was also straightforward, "He was the first batch of players in the main city, and passed away a few years ago."

"The first batch of players..." Lao Liang rarely showed a little admiration in his eyes. After all, those earliest people only existed in word of mouth, and no one had ever seen such an old player.

"Hey, brother Xie, didn't you say that your father also disappeared on Judgment Day ten years ago, then he should be one of the first players. There were few people back then, maybe your father knew his father. "

Xie Xingyin also looked at Lu Fen: "My father's name is Xie Sheng. He disappeared ten years ago. I only found out recently that he came here."

Lu Fen nodded, lowering his eyes slightly.His emotions are well controlled, and he seldom shows any expressions that he shouldn't have.

"Sorry, I don't know much about what happened back then."

In fact, it's no wonder that Xie Xingyin's father disappeared ten years ago and passed away seven years ago. Now most people in the main city cannot know them.If you want to know what happened that year, you can only ask among the veteran players who have been here for more than seven years.

But is there really such a person?

"Old players from ten years ago, I've heard people say a few..." Lao Liang knows a lot about gossip.

"I heard that the president of the Daylight Guild has been here for many years. But not many people have seen him, don't know what he looks like, and don't know what his real name is.

Xie Xingyin was a little surprised when he heard that.The person who had saved him in the Forbidden Forest had stayed in this world for so long, but in his subconscious mind he always felt that it was a young man.

"How can the president be a young man, at least he must be a weather-beaten old man in his 50s or [-]s." I don't know who said it.

Lu Fen had already put down his knife and fork, and was sitting beside him drinking tea, his eyes were calm, and he didn't respond to their discussion at all.
