This aura is deadly

The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun burned the last clouds in the sky blood red.

It is now 7 o'clock in the evening. As a gathering place for the rich in Opportunity City, the Hollyoak Villa area is not particularly crowded.

Because most wealthy people will not choose to live in this declining city, and the wealthy people who have purchased real estate in this city are slowly selling their properties to cash out and transfer their funds elsewhere.

When the automobile manufacturing industry slumped, the city government did not actively take measures to find new pillar industries. Instead, it chose the most comfortable way to increase GDP: selling land to smart companies to create a smart space.

Because of this, many industries have no room for development in the city, and accordingly they cannot provide more jobs. Companies are withdrawing one by one, and the urban population is slowly disappearing.

If this city does not change its status quo, it will sooner or later become a dead place full of black box spaces. By then, Opportunity City will become a veritable monster city.

Without job opportunities and related supporting facilities, land prices in Opportunity City are still frighteningly high, because the prices are based on "black box preparation land" for smart enterprises.

Chen Ke didn't care much about this, because Heinard's words made him a little tempted. If he could really solve his troubles in the future, then... it would be a good idea to buy a house and settle down in a big city like Xiaoyao City. Better choice.

Before time travel, he was a working dog with no money and no connections, but in the City of Opportunity...he decided the life and death of others, made a million in three nights, had a Latina beauty who loved him, and was very good at voting. Friends who play with guns...

As a price, I can only live for one week... I must find a way to return to mortal life! Even if he loses these abilities, Chen Ke doesn't feel bad at all.

The Glock pistol will be very long after the silencer is screwed on, making it difficult to hide it in the holster, so Chen Ke must first remove the silencer and put it in his pocket.

The target this time is an old man with gray hair and a boyish face. In the photo, he looks like a professor. If not a professor, he is also a highly respected business person.

Chen Ke subconsciously felt that he did not look like a bad person. This feeling once again aroused his strong curiosity. What are these targets for? What are they doing?

It was still early, and the intelligence pointed out that the target would appear in his villa at 11 o'clock, so Chen Ke had nothing to do at this time, so he found a small restaurant on the street, ordered some simple food, and sat down By the window.

This small shop is called "Mewell" and is a very common small restaurant in the United States. It mainly provides steak, fried chicken, instant coffee, salad and other cheap food.

The restaurant is lit with orange chandeliers, and across the street outside the showcase are rows of white villas.

The interior furnishings are very simple, wooden tables and chairs are neatly placed, and only two people can sit opposite each other against the wall. Some oil paintings are hung on the red stone walls.

In addition to Chen Ke, there were some people dining in the restaurant. They didn't look like rich people living nearby, but ordinary middle class people.

He ordered a pork chop and a cup of hot coffee, took out his cell phone and started killing time.

After holding many souls in his hands, it seems that the passage of time has slowed down. Chen Ke now only has half of his life left, but he is not in a hurry.

The juicy pork chop was bitten into a mouthful of meat juice, and the large molars crushed the meat fibers, allowing the minced meat mixed with juice to slide down the throat and into the stomach.

The depressing thing is that no matter what Chen Ke eats, he can only chew it in his mouth. Once he swallows it in his stomach and passes through his throat, there is no other feeling... It is as if there is a black hole in his body... This is also Why was Chen Ken able to drink all the postmen to the ground by himself?

If he were to participate in the Big Eater Competition, he would be the winner...

Chen Ke was eating pork chops while reading the news on his mobile phone. The largest newspaper in the United States is the Newton Times, which is equivalent to the New York Times in the United States before Chen Ke traveled through time. As the federal capital, Newton City is the number one super city in the world. The city of dreams and opportunities.

The news headlines of the Newton Times are the same as what Pihom said. The official news is discussing the recent impact of foreign consortium forces on the currency system. The exchange rate of the currency has continued to fall over the past few days, and the depreciation is severe.

Chen Ke doesn't understand economics and has no interest in the money games of the financial industry, but he feels that something is happening, and in the near future, it may have consequences even more terrifying than the 2008 economic crisis.

While waiting, Chen Ke suddenly remembered Parker who was still warming himself by the fire in the Van Heder Church... Before entering the statue of the goddess, he told Parker to stay where he was and not move around...

Chen Ke calculated with his fingers that it had been several days since he left there. He didn't know how Parker was doing now. Even if Van Hed's time stagnated, as a human being, he still had a sense of the passage of time.

Now he has more than forty souls in his hand, which is more than enough to open the door. Moreover, the cycle of Van Hede Cathedral should have been solved by himself, and the door should be able to be pushed open...

Chen Ke made up his mind that when the assassination mission was over, he would open the door and enter Van Heder again...

"Are you there yet?"

At the next table, an Asian woman is talking on the phone.

Chen Ke looked sideways and saw a long-haired woman wearing a brown top and black trousers. She wore sunglasses and her lips were painted blood red. She was very beautiful.

Chen Ke didn't mean to eavesdrop on her phone call, but the two of them were too close and the restaurant was extremely quiet, so it was difficult not to hear her.

He guessed that this woman might be a plaything of a rich man...

"I'll come find you after I deal with them. You'll be safe, professor." The woman said, hung up the phone, pressed the tip into the coffee cup, stood up from her seat, and wiped Chen Ke's table.

Her skirt almost knocked Chen Ke's coffee off the table, and Chen Ke immediately held the cup to let some of the coffee spill out.

The woman turned around, moved her sunglasses down slightly with her right hand, looked at Chen Ke with a pair of brown eyes, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Chen Ke said.

The woman put her sunglasses back on and left the restaurant without looking back.

"Well..." Chen Ke wiped the coffee on the table with a tissue, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was less than 9 o'clock.

Professor...?

Chen Ke raised his eyebrows.

From the woman's words, he heard something strange...

The woman said she was going to deal with some people... Who were she going to deal with? It sounds like it must not be as simple as throwing away garbage, and it might be bloody.

The killer's instinct made Chen Ke unable to sit down any longer. He had a feeling that this woman was not easy to deal with, and the professor she mentioned also made him very concerned...

"Let's follow her for a while." Chen Ke thought secretly.

He was not curious about the other party's purpose, but he was worried that if the professor she mentioned was the same person as his target, it would be very troublesome.

Although this possibility was not very high, it was not impossible.

Chen Ke pressed the consumption with a coffee cup and followed carefully.
