When Wang Quan arrived at the slum, he saw Ichiro Kenike leaning against the wall, smoking in silence.
He raised his eyebrows, walked over and asked, "What's going on? Did the girl's family have a conflict with the factory? "
"No." Ichiro Kenike's expression became more gloomy at the mention of this, "She died in the factory before they went there, and the bodies have been disposed of.
"Then they went to reason with her, and Abby's father … was also beaten to death."
"Who beat him? The factory owner? "Wang Quan put his hands in his pockets," Then why don't you go and kill them? "
"No."
Ichiro Kenike turned his head, his face expressionless, "It's the Knights. But I don't know whether it's the French Royal Knights or the Glorious Sun Knights of the Church of the Dead. "
Wang Quan was also silent.
After a long silence, Ichiro Kenike suddenly said, "Quan Ge, this country, no, this world is really hopeless. I've always regarded this kind of thing as the information in the history books … "
In the first year of Yongchun, there were 26 famines in Guanzhong and Shannan, and people in the capital cannibalized each other.
In the first year of Zhen Yuan, there was a great famine in Dongdu, Henan and Hebei, and the dead slept together.
In the second year of Zhonghe, there was a great famine in Guanzhong. In the fourth year, there was a great famine in Guanzhong, and people cannibalized each other.
In the second year of Guangqi, there was a great famine in Jing and Xiang, and people cannibalized each other.
In the first year of Jianyan's reign, there was a great famine in Bianjing. One liter of rice cost three hundred coins, one rat cost several hundred coins. People ate seaweed, locust tree leaves, and Taoism. In the third year, there was a great famine in Shandong, and people cannibalized each other. At that time, the Jin occupied Jingdong, and people gathered as thieves, and carriages of dried corpses as food.
These were just words in the history books.
The same was the situation of the European and American factories during the Industrial Revolution.
That was the "European 'joke' of the Industrial Revolution that Ichiro Kenike and Wang Quan had talked about before.
"Quan Ge, I really want to kill someone now, really."
Ichiro Kenike clenched the long sword in his hand, "I always feel suffocated."
Wang Quan smacked his lips, and suddenly asked, "Kenchi-san, are you afraid of death?"
"Yes." "But I'm more afraid that I'll see Abby's despairing gaze the moment I close my eyes in the future."
"Then go preach."
Wang Quan patted him on the shoulder. "The more desperate the world is, the more spiritual sustenance it needs. This is also the reason why the Cult of Thanatos can grow so strong. Since you aren't afraid of death, go and preach.
"Food, seeds, medicine, gold, I will give you all of them. You have a lot of them yourself. Since he wanted to do it, he might as well do it.
"Anyway, our Flying Noodles Sect doesn't lack a few believers."
Wang Quan narrowed his eyes. "After all, I don't mind cooking."
He changed into his belt and transformed, once again becoming the 1.9 meter tall "Masked Knight Blackfeather."
"Quan Ge, where are you going?"
Ichiro Kenike asked when he saw Wang Quan was about to leave.
"A Masked Knight is a dark hero born from pain. A hero is to protect people's smiles, especially children's."
Wang Quan turned around. His strange mask and trench coat made him look tall and handsome.
"To borrow Master Qiao's words from FAIZ, 'I don't have a dream, but I can protect children's dreams.'"
After a pause, Wang Quan smiled, "I don't have a dream, and I'm not interested in protecting other people's dreams.
"But … since I have power, maybe I can become a person who can give other people their dreams.
"I'll say the same to you, Kenchi-san … No, Brother Dong Ping. If you want to completely abandon the past, then start over as Dong Ping. Ichiro Kenike is just a Hellwalker who died in 'Hell'.
"Bye, see you tonight."
With his back facing Ichiro Kenike, Wang Quan waved his hand and soared into the sky.
He was going to do his mission.
He could get soul coins by killing creatures who used "God's power."
The Glorious Sun Knight Order was one of the four major knight orders of the Cult of Thanatos.
Looking at Wang Quan who disappeared into the sky, Ichiro Kenike took a deep breath.
He had made his decision.
He changed into his "Black Feather" outfit and jumped down.
…
"Mom."
Mechanically, Abby called for her mother again.
But her mother, the thin woman, seemed to be completely overwhelmed by the pressure.
She was sitting on a small stool, next to a wooden plank that was bulging and covered with torn clothes.
It was obvious that there was a person under the clothes.
But this person's face was covered, and with the smell of blood and his chest that was no longer moving …
It was obvious that he was dead.
"Mom …" Abby gently shook her mother's arm, her voice was already sobbing.
After knowing that her brother was dead, her heart was filled with great sadness, but with her parents, she still had someone to rely on.
But her father was also beaten to death …
Anger …
But anger was useless!
The most important thing was to survive!
When her brother went to work in the factory, she tried her best to stop him!
Because a few of her friends who lived in the slums had gone to work in the factory and never came back!
Did the adults not know?
No! They knew!
But there was no other way!
If they did not go to work in the factory, their family would not survive …
The neighbor sent Soby, who was only nine years old, to the factory because there was one less person to feed.
Originally, her father did not agree to the two children going to work, but her father contracted tuberculosis in the factory, and her mother alone could not support the family of four.
Originally, it was Abby who went to the factory, it was like this …
But her brother secretly went to the factory without telling the family, and then asked someone to bring the news back.
Abby had to steal things on the street, and then help sell the matches made by her mother at night to support the family.
Previously, her arm was broken, and because there was no money for treatment, her left arm still had no strength, as if it was disabled.
Until that night, she met that foolish aristocratic young master who used a lot of money to buy her matches!
Their family had already seen hope!
Her father had decided to bring her brother back, and then the family of four would go to the countryside to buy some farmland and live a good life!
But …
But why …
Death God above, is this also a test for you?
"Mom …"
Abby called her mother again.
But her mother's dusty face was extremely numb, a pair of gray eyes stared blankly in front, and her mouth was still muttering "my matches" …
"Mom …"
Abby called softly, and at the same time, she quietly looked around, on high alert.
She grew up in the slums, and she knew the situation here.
Although there were many kind people, at the same time … there were many bad people.
If others knew that her father had died, then she and her mother … would have a miserable future.
But she had to live!
"Get lost!"
The noise in the distance made Abby panic.
She looked up.
He saw three armored knights using their giant swords to smash the people of the slums as they walked over.
Those were the knights hired by the factory!
Father was beaten to death by them!
Abby's face was pale.
The knights stopped in front of her.
"Sure enough, it's here." One of them smiled.
Another knight frowned, "Quickly get rid of them and go back to get the money. I don't want to come to this filthy place a second time."
"Of course." The first knight licked his lips, pulled out his giant sword, and slowly approached.
Many people in the slums looked over, but after seeing the knight's warning eyes, they shrank back.
Dead people were too common, and no one cared.
They didn't dare to care.
Looking at the shadow shrouding over, the sinister smile on the shadow's face, and the giant sword in his hand, Abby's face was pale, and she closed her eyes tightly.
Her hand clutched her mother's sleeve.
I will probably die here.
Sure enough, God won't save the poor.
But, but …
I don't want to die …
"Save me …"
"Someone … save me …"
"I've received your wish."
Swish –!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.
Abby opened her eyes.
In front of her, a tall figure stood there.
At his feet, was the sinister-looking knight from before.
He was only left with his upper body.
The tall figure flashed, then turned around. The bird beak mask on his face was sinister and terrifying.
But his voice was like a spring breeze.
"Miss, are you interested in joining our Flying Noodles Church? Don't worry, if you're not satisfied, you can leave at any time. "
Following his words, the other knights behind him were cut in half from the waist.
This scene was forever imprinted in Abby's mind.
