Lu Changsheng was startled.

He looked at Duan Xiaorou with some surprise, but was even more surprised to find that even the latter was looking at him with a confused expression.

"Boss Lu, what's Zhou Yi?" Duan Xiaorou asked in a low voice next to Lu Changsheng's ear.

Don’t even remember you?

Has your cognition been modified by dreams?

That Yani's job is not good either...

Lu Changsheng murmured a few words in his heart, but did not explain too much on this issue. He opened his palm and pressed it down slightly, and raised his chin, indicating that he would listen to the girl first.

"Girl, we are indeed foreign enemies who have come to seek refuge with relatives. We are not very familiar with Donglin City. Please help us to clear up our confusion. If necessary in the future..."

Lu Changsheng instinctively wanted to offer a set meal to build relationships, but after thinking about it carefully, he changed his mind and said, "If you need help, you can come to me."

The passers-by who hid in the store with the girl obviously didn't want to get involved in these bad things, and they fled away one after another.

The girl hesitated for a long time, looking at the two unfamiliar faces, Lu Changsheng and Duan Xiaorou, and finally gritted her teeth, took a few steps back and hid in the blind spot of the store.

After confirming that no one outside could see her, the girl cautiously said, "The leader of those people who passed by just now is the second son of the Zhou family, named Zhou Xiong, and those following him are all from the three major families."

"In Donglin City, the three major families are the most powerful Awakened families, namely the Li family, the Chen family and the Zhou family. Among them, the Zhou family is the strongest and has the largest number of saints under its command."

"All common people, only those who work in the three major families can obtain status. All those without status will be classified as refugees."

"According to the laws of Donglin City, members of the three major families do not need to bear any responsibility if they kill refugees."

"Even ordinary people with status will not end well if they offend someone from the three major families."

"If you plan to live in Donglin City permanently, you must choose a family to join as soon as possible. Otherwise, the three major families will not protect you. Over time, many people will come to trouble you."

"When all your property is robbed, you will have no choice but to go to the slums and wait to die."

Lu Changsheng's face condensed. He originally thought that the survival of the human race in this world was difficult enough, but he did not expect that the life of the human race before the birth of the Demon Slayer Division was even more difficult.

"Why? There's nothing great about the Awakened, so why don't you guys resist?" Duan Xiaorou became more and more excited as she listened, but she knew it was not the girl's fault, so she could only mutter dissatisfiedly.

"Donlin City is so domineering, aren't you afraid that all the people in the city will run away?"

The girl took a step back in fear and leaned against the cold wall. She waved anxiously and said, "Shh, keep your voice down..."

"There is nothing we can do. If we want to go out, we must obtain approval from the three major families. Without instructions from our superiors, many of us will be unable to leave Donglin City for the rest of our lives."

"And the other main cities are not much better than Donglin City. I heard that Qing City not far away has stricter laws than ours."

"If you work there, you have to work more than 18 hours a day. Once the workers join the work, the average life expectancy will not exceed ten years."

"Although the three major families are domineering in Donglin City, you can still survive as long as you are careful not to offend them."

The girl's voice gradually dropped, and her eyes were full of helplessness.

"But can you still be considered a human being if you live like this?"

"What's the difference between this and the pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep kept in captivity?"

"Do all awakened people belong to the three major families?"

"Is there no one who will take the lead in resisting tyranny?"

Duan Xiaorou has been growing up in Fengdu City since she was a child. The most important thing she lacks is the spirit of resistance. The most common words she hears are "My head has a scar as big as a bowl, so fuck me."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand slightly to stop Duan Xiaorou from continuing to ask questions.

The girl's face was already a little pale, and she subconsciously wanted to move out of the door.

She already regretted it a little. If she stayed in contact with foreigners for too long, she could easily get into trouble.

Especially the girl with braids, she looks like she has a bad temper. Such people often don't live long in Donglin City.

"Thank you, girl. My name is Lu Changsheng, and I am the owner of this small shop. If you need my services in the future, you can come to the shop to find me."

The girl nodded invisibly, but then she thought about it and quickly shook her head, "Then I'll leave first. You...be careful..."

"Wait a minute, sister, we don't know your name yet?" Duan Xiaorou asked, waving her hand as she looked at the girl running away in a hurry.

"Jiang Siqi..."

The girl's voice was so soft that if it weren't for Lu Changsheng's amazing hearing, he might not have been able to hear it clearly.

"It's so irritating. What's so great about the Awakened? Why are you so cowardly?" Duan Xiaorou said angrily as she looked at the girl's running back.

"The era we live in is completely different. You can't impose your own ideas on the predecessors. We won't stay in this dreamland for too long. The top priority is to find information related to Zhou Yi first."

Lu Changsheng handed the last xiaolongbao to Duan Xiaorou and said calmly.

Duan Xiaorou took the steamed bun and bit it down fiercely, "Boss Lu, I've been feeling weird since just now. Aren't we here to find treasures?"

"Who is the Zhou Yi you keep talking about?"

"You just need to know that the treasure is related to this person named Zhou Yi." Lu Changsheng didn't explain too much.

Duan Xiaorou raised her eyebrows, but didn't intend to ask further questions. Anyway, it wouldn't be wrong to follow the leader.

The two waited in the store for another ten minutes.

Liu Qilin and Yani finally arrived.

"Sorry, Boss Lu, the place where I entered the dream is too far from here, and it took some time to get there." Liu Qilin wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued.

"The location where the skinny monkey appeared is still where the carriage drove last time. I have asked him to turn around and come back, but I guess he can't catch up with today's exploration."

Can it still be saved?

Where was it when I left last time? Will it still be in the same place when I enter again?

Is this dream not randomly generated, but a logical and coherent dream?

Lu Changsheng silently remembered it in his heart.

"Then let's not wait for him. Let's share the information we have found out first." Duan Xiaorou spoke first and briefly recounted the information she had just collected.

"I entered the dream in a tavern in the south of the city. There were no customers in the daytime, but I heard the boss mention in a casual chat that the three major families seem to be restless recently."

"Especially the Zhou family and the Li family, they have recalled many awakened people who were hunting monsters in the wild. I'm afraid they are going to make trouble."

Yani crossed her arms, leaned against the wall and said with her head tilted slightly.

"Could it be related to the treasure? Someone from the three major families discovered the treasure hidden in Donglin City, but they were afraid that others would get there first, so they hurriedly recalled people?"

Liu Qilin speculated.

Sure enough, Liu Qilin and Yani didn't remember Zhou Yi either.

This dream is a bit weird...

Is this really Zhou Yi's work?

Why in the present world, everyone is saying that there is the legacy of the first generation chief in the dream, but the people who entered the dream don't remember the existence of Zhou Yi.

Lu Changsheng's heart was faintly muttering, and he always felt that things were getting more and more confusing.
