This aura is deadly

Chapter 444 Beggar’s Nest

Chen Ke followed Jacob through the streets, avoiding the curfew patrol that was about to close its shift, and headed in the direction of Big Ben.

Big Ben was built in 1858. It is a landmark building in London, England in Chen Ke's World. It is 95 meters high and rings every 15 minutes. In 2012, it was renamed the Elizabeth Tower.

But in Longtown, it is still open to debate whether the clock tower was built in 1858, and it seems that the clock tower does not ring every 15 minutes, but on the hour, playing a role in telling the time to the whole city.

Since the invention of the pocket watch, people in Longton have always kept track of time in minutes. They take out their pocket watches when they have nothing to do. They are just like the people who play mobile phones in the 21st century. Unfortunately, pocket watches cannot play Snake, and they cannot play the game. QQ.

"Do you like children?" Jacob asked abruptly.

"Why are you asking?" Chen Ke was stunned.

"My place is full of street kids." Jacob laughed.

"Why don't you send them to an orphanage? Can you raise so many children by yourself?" Chen Ke asked.

"The orphanage is not a good place for them, otherwise I wouldn't have so many children running away from the orphanage." Jacob shook his head.

"How many children are there at your place?" Chen Ke asked again.

"Forty-two, the youngest is 5 years old and the oldest is 12 years old." Jacob said.

"It's not easy to feed them... I don't think you have a high-paying job... Well, I'm sorry." Chen Ke said.

"It's okay, Chen Ke. They will take care of themselves, that's how I grew up." Jacob smiled.

The two crossed the street and hid in another alley. Looking up, the sky was squeezed into a line by the buildings on both sides.

"That must not be easy." Chen Ke continued.

He is not an orphan, but has no brothers or sisters. As an only child in the 21st century, his family is neither rich nor poor. He has a moderate income. Even if he does not pay for the mortgage, his parents who have retired from state-owned enterprises can fully hold on to the mortgage.

Chen Ke has never enjoyed the wealth and wealth of the world, and he has definitely never tasted the various sufferings in the world. He is an ordinary social animal of the 21st century who cannot be more ordinary.

He never thought in his life that one day he would be able to sleep with a Latina beauty and deal with the chairman of the consortium, agents of the Administration, and agents of the Foundation.

Never would I have thought that I could jump between different times, witness the destruction of a world, travel to great moments and relive history, and now I am still at the center of the wave of the Industrial Revolution.

This unreal feeling once confused Chen Ke. His choices, his ideas, and his thinking about things were all full of immaturity. But as an ordinary person, when faced with this crazy situation, Chen Ke felt that he had done enough.

After all, what else can a middle-income social worker do in the 21st century after traveling to another world? Create the world and become the master of the world?

It is not easy for Chen Ke to survive until now after time travel.

"It's really not easy." Jacob nodded. He turned back, looked at Chen Ke, and said: "This great city has no place for orphans."

"You can't change this situation." Chen Ke shook his head.

"You said the same thing last time. But I don't understand the era you mentioned. As long as I live, I will continue to do this, and the children will find their own way out." Jacob said.

"So... what do you do for a living?" Chen Ke spread his hands.

"Our wealth is in other people's pockets. We just get it back when we need it." Jacob laughed.

"I should have guessed...but I won't blame you. In this fucking social system, the rich are robbing everyone legally." Chen Kedao.

"I'm glad you agree. Nothing in this world is absolute, so nothing can't be done. This is my creed." Jacob nodded.

"Everything is empty and everything is allowed, right?" Chen Kedao said.

"Yeah, that sums it up really well." Jacob smiled.

During the conversation, the two walked to the foot of Big Ben. On the street opposite the clock tower, there was a five-story unfinished building. The Thames River slowly flowed through one side of the house, and a bridge spanned the other side.

"You live here?" Chen Ke asked.

"Yes, this was originally going to be a workers' dormitory, but it was abandoned halfway through the construction. I don't know why no one took over the land, so I and my children temporarily lived in it." Jacob said .

Chen Ke looked into the window on the first floor. It was dark inside. When his spiritual vision glanced upward, he saw a group of children all concentrated in a corner of the fifth floor.

"You can't live down there. If you are seen, you will be kicked out. So... Chen Ke, can you climb the wall?" Jacob asked.

"No, can't we take the stairs?" Chen Ke looked at Jacob.

"There are no stairs to go up. In order to prevent homeless people from living here, the security team removed the stairs." Jacob spread his hands.

"What should we do?" Chen Ke had no idea.

Jacob shrugged, put two fingers in his mouth and blew on them, making a chirping sound like a bird. After a while, Chen Ke saw several children running to the window on the fifth floor and hanging a rope down.

"Let's see who is faster, Chen Ke?" Jacob smiled.

Chen Ke and Jacob looked at each other, then ran away. Jacob jumped lightly and climbed up to various uneven places on the building wall. His ten fingers were like hooks, pulling his body upward. , using both hands and feet, kept jumping around the wall and window sill. Chen Ke pulled the rope, stepped on the wall with his feet, and tried his best to climb up, but was thrown away by Jacob.

"Huhuhu..."

Seeing Jacob duck into the window on the fifth floor, after a long time, Chen Ke finally climbed to the fifth floor. As soon as his head popped out of the window, he saw more than a dozen children pointing at him with small daggers and slingshots.

"+1s"

"+1s"

"+1s"

"+1s"

"+1s"

"Don't be excited, kids..." Jacob said standing behind the children, and stepped forward and reached out to pull Chen Ke in.

He jumped off the bed and looked inside. Because it was still an unfinished building, there were no partitions or the like. There was no barrier on the first floor, only a few load-bearing pillars.

More than forty children were spread out on thin blankets and lying in the corner. The older ones slept on the outside, and the younger ones were surrounded inside.

Most of the children slept on the floor, and the few people lying on the rare folding beds were girls and younger.

"Jacob... who is he?" the child holding the slingshot asked warily. He looked to be just over 6 years old. He was very hurt and there was a burn mark on his left arm.

"He is a guest, Dayage. Don't be so nervous. Go to bed." Jacob squatted in front of the children and clapped his hands gently. When the children heard what Jacob said, they all put down their weapons and slowly dispersed.

Chen Ke looked around and walked towards the stairs, but was stopped by Jacob.

"Over there...is the toilet." Jacob said sheepishly.
