Breath of the Dead

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Don't look there. That's a body that died on the street. It was thrown in by the body collection team. It has nothing to do with us."

In the dark river water, Gu Xi was carried up and down by the water, and rustling comments could be heard in the distance.

Although the voice was not loud, Gu Xi heard it clearly, which made Gu Xi understand that he had escaped from the cell buried somewhere.

"Fortunately, they didn't send me back to the cell again."

Gu Xi moved his body, looked up and looked in the direction, and then began to swim towards the shore.

Along the way, Gu Xi discovered various things in the river.

There are rotting corpses, sewage discharged from sewers, and sewage discharged from various factories upstream.

Anyway, the entire Isis River is black.

Gu Xi didn't want to soak in the river at all, so he swam harder and harder in the water.

But before he could get close to the shore, several beams of light hit his face.

Gu Xi tilted his head, blocking the direct light from his eyes with his hands, and squinted to see clearly what was happening on the shore.

On the shore, three patrol officers wearing black high-collar police uniforms and black silver-rimmed helmets, holding small searchlights the size of a human head, stared at him.

Gu Xi noticed that all three of them had their hands on their waists. It seemed that if there was any movement, they would pull out their weapons and attack.

Seeing that Gu Xi had no intention of rushing down, the leader yelled loudly.

"Are you still alive?"

Is not this nonsensical?

Gu Xi rolled his eyes in his heart and raised his hands at the same time, "Alive, still alive."

In fact, Gu Xi didn't know that there were strange and undead people occupying the Isis River from time to time, and corpses were thrown into the river, trying to sneak into Victoria City through human bodies.

Coast patrols like them are arranged to deal with these strange or undead ghosts.

Usually they just use the searchlight in their hands to shine a light, and those who don't respond are alive, and they usually put them ashore.

But today the leader was a little free, so he asked a few more questions.

"Brother, what happened? You were too drunk to see the road clearly, so you fell into the river?"

While talking, this man also directed his men to drag Gu Xi up the rock with a long wooden stick.

When Gu Xi came out of Alidovi, he had already thought about his origin.

When he first entered Victoria City, the system arranged an identity for him.

In addition, he had obtained Joseph's land purchase order, and Gu Xi had already thought of his words.

"Don't mention it. I found a land purchase order left by my ancestors at home. It could be exchanged for a piece of land in Camden District. But when I went to find someone to inquire about it, I was immediately let go. Turn it over and throw it into the river."

Gu Xi grabbed the wooden stick and climbed to the shore.

These patrol policemen were also people on the facade. As soon as they heard Gu Xi's explanation, they had already imagined various conspiracies in their minds.

The leading patrol officer even smiled and said: "Brother, you are lucky to be alive. You dare to take out something from more than a hundred years ago, and it is from Camden District.

You don’t know that it’s an uptown area now, where rich people live. Look, you’re so thin, you’re about the same size as the cinders in the factory. Even if you occupy the land, they can still take it back. .

I advise you to find an intermediary and sell the land purchase order. You might be able to exchange it for a piece of land in Kamlai District. "

"Yes, Camden and Camlay sound similar. Just a quick thought is enough. They are both in Victoria City anyway."

"That's not possible. My land purchase order was originally for a large farm near Kamlai. If I go there now, I will definitely not be able to get such a large land. I can't lose this land."

Gu Xi quickly started acting as soon as he heard this, and the persona of someone who wanted money rather than his life was quickly established.

The three patrol officers quickly thought about it, and they all believed Gu Xi's identity and did not kill him as a mysteriously possessed guy.

With this kind of thinking in mind, the three patrol officers also moved faster.

After Gu Xi was pulled ashore, the three patrolmen checked Gu Xi's situation.

Because Gu Xi had spoken more appropriately just now, they didn't embarrass Gu Xi too much. They just gave him a rough inspection and waved him off.

"Okay, don't stay by the Isis River if you have nothing to do. If you don't want to be caught working as cinder in a black factory, don't wander around the lower city in the middle of the night. There are fewer people in the lower city during this time.

As for the matter in Camden District, I won't advise you, you can take care of it yourself. "

After saying that, the patrol officer patted Gu Xi on the shoulder, raised his eyelids, and gave Gu Xi a look that you can control on your own.

Gu Xi thanked them, and then quickly left the vicinity of the Isis River and walked to the street, regardless of how dirty and smelly he was.

However, Gu Xi was lucky this time. He could tell that he had just climbed out of the Isis River, and no one noticed the traces left by Gu Xi being locked up in the dungeon.

On the street, Gu Xi looked around and found with some helplessness that there were no large bathrooms or bathing centers in Victoria City.

And he couldn't go to the uptown area or other relatively clean areas like this.

He could only follow the carriage and walk along the street. In a small alley three blocks away from the Isis River, Gu Xi found a tavern that looked a little old.

There is also a wooden signboard hanging in front of the pub with a huge wine glass painted on it.

Over the years, the wooden sign has changed color, but the store has still hung it.

The reason why Gu Xi chose this place was not because the girls in red dresses who solicited customers on the roadside were prettier than other places, but because Gu Xi had seen the same signboard in Alidovi City.

Gu Xi clearly remembered that under the wine glass, there was a small compass painted in a color invisible to ordinary people.

The same signboard can prove that the store in front of me is a centuries-old store moved from the old city of Victoria.

Generally, an old store that has been around for such a long time always has something unknown about it.

The most important thing about a hotel is safety. If he can find a hotel that is hundreds of years old, Gu Xi will naturally not go to a shady store that he is not sure about.

After pushing open the door of the tavern, Gu Xi heard a crisp voice.

"What do guests need?"

"Give me a room. I want to take a shower and change my clothes. By the way, is there anything I can eat? My stomach is not very good. I can't eat too hard."

Gu Xi said casually, and at the same time he threw a shilling onto the table of the bar in the tavern.

"that's it?"

ah? Gu Xi glanced at the white deep groove exposed in the red skirt and immediately reacted, "Sorry, not now. I just fell into the Isis River. Now I just want to take a bath quickly and put away my clothes." Changed."

"Bah, who told you this? I mean..."

"Shaya." At this time, a waiter stood up to stop the conflict that might occur at any time, "I'm sorry, she is a newcomer and doesn't understand anything. I will take you up now."
