Reiner's actions exceeded the butcher shop owner's expectations. He originally thought that Reiner was just an ordinary student in the school who had never seen the world, but he didn't expect that Reiner would use magic so decisively. He was a little helpless. Originally, he just wanted to go first. He tried to attack the opponent tentatively, and if he found out that he was a soft persimmon, he would strike hard, but he didn't expect that Reiner was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
"Uh, let me see..."
In order to do business, the butcher shop owner learned to read and write for a period of time, and he could barely understand the text, but when he saw the address in Reiner's hand, he still showed a surprised expression.
"You...why are you looking for a place?"
The boss asked back, making Reiner even more curious as to why such a vicious guy showed such a fearful expression after seeing this address.
"You lead the way."
The kitchen knife beside Reiner moved forward slightly, which made the bald boss's face turn pale. He nodded silently before taking off his apron and walking out of the shop.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a few gangsters who had gathered earlier wanted to come over to him. However, after noticing the dozens of kitchen knives hovering around the bald boss, these brave and fierce young people fell silent.
"Tell me, how much do you know about this place?"
Reiner walked leisurely and asked the bald boss.
"This was originally a slum area. Even on Engels Street, that place was the lowest corner. It was inhabited by losers who didn't even dare to commit crimes. You can see maggot-infested corpses coming out of this building almost every day. The building was moved out, and even wild dogs didn’t want to come near it.”
The boss said slowly, his pronunciation was a bit strange, not like a local.
"But a few years ago, something changed there. I don't know why, but the people there started to become more positive, in contrast to this abandoned street. In fact, I lived there for a while before, and then I just made a little money and opened my own store.”
Along the way, Reiner saw that the young people on the roadside were like zombies, with no light in their eyes. Living in such a street, it was no wonder that Mrs. Lysa said that Sirius was unwilling to go home.
“But you may have come at the wrong time.
"
The boss said, he suddenly stopped and pointed forward.
"That's the place you're looking for, 220 Engels Street, Belen Apartments."
Reiner followed the boss's fingers, but what he saw was not the building he imagined.
It was a ruin.
It can be vaguely seen from the wreckage that a small three-story building originally stood here, but a fire has burned the place. The blackened pillars emitted a stench. Under the collapsed walls, many people's homes were buried.
Pedestrians on the roadside don't even look at this place, they are indifferent, as if nothing has changed here.
"The weather has been too hot recently. It has not rained in Trestan for a month. Most of the houses here are made of wood. It is easy to catch fire in this environment."
The boss said, sighing.
"The cause may be a group of young people who got together to smoke. They recently got a special gadget. It is said that it is very exciting to smoke. Those of us who have lived on Engels Street for a long time are not interested in these things. Those young people Like, in order to hide from the sheriff, I hid and smoked, but the cigarette butt fell in the corner, and it eventually turned into a fire.”
Reiner was silent. He looked at the address on the paper again. It was indeed No. 220 Engels Street, Belen Apartment.
"When did this happen?"
Reiner saw that the ruins did not look like they had been abandoned for a long time. There was even a burning smell in the air. He guessed that the fire happened recently.
"last night."
However, the bald boss's answer was beyond Reiner's expectations. He didn't expect that such a disaster would happen here just the day before he came here.
"It was already late at night when the fire was discovered. The fire lasted all night and was not extinguished until the morning."
The bald boss said, with unspeakable helplessness in his tone.
"Then the people living here..."
Reiner thought about the worst-case scenario, looked at the charred ruins, and asked.
"This is the most incredible place."
However, the boss's answer was unexpected.
"Although it was already late at night, someone woke everyone up, and within a short period of time, most of them evacuated the apartment. Only a few people were smoked or burned. It was a miracle that no one was killed in the entire apartment. .”
"No one was killed?"
Reiner found it incredible that even well-trained soldiers may not be able to escape unprepared, but the result of this fire can indeed be regarded as a miracle.
"Yes, last night was really thrilling. When the last person escaped, the door of the apartment collapsed. If it had been a few minutes later, the dead might have appeared."
As if everything happened last night again before his eyes, the bald boss said.
"Then where are the original residents here, do you know?"
When asked, Reiner had already put down the knife. Although the bald boss looked fierce, he was surprisingly a straightforward guy, so Reiner no longer had the need to coerce him.
"Most of them go to the nearby public hospital, Baifan Hospital, just two blocks next door."
The bald boss replied. He touched his head and looked at the ruins again.
"Then do you know Sirius Oldman?"
Reiner asked casually.
Unexpectedly, when the bald boss heard the name, he stopped and took a step back.
"W-where did you know this name!!?"
There was a little panic in his eyes as he stared at Reiner.
"What's wrong, you know Sirius Oldman, what happened to him?"
Reiner immediately asked. He had a vague hunch that the answer he had been looking for was close at hand.
"He...has passed away."
The bald boss replied, with hesitation in his tone.
"Sirius Oldman died five years ago. He was not in good health at first, and then he became even weaker for no apparent reason. He lay in bed for treatment for a month, and finally passed away."
"What? He's dead?"
Reiner felt his heart pounding, feeling that everything he had learned before was like a whirlpool, lying in front of him, trying to absorb everything.
"Then does he have any family or leave anything behind..."
He subconsciously glanced at the apartment that had been reduced to scorched earth. Even if there were relics, they would probably have been lost in the past few years.
But the words of the bald boss made Reiner break out of the dark whirlpool and see a little hope.
"His mother suffered serious burns last night and is being treated at Baifan Hospital...Hey, wait..."
Before the bald boss finished speaking, he saw Reiner running away and disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.
