Pirate Gou to the General

"Huh...huh..."

In the alleyway, the man holding the roasted chicken gasped, but he did not dare to stop.

Boom!

While running, he bumped into a trash can in the alleyway. He flipped over and his oil paper bag fell to the ground.

But soon, the man stood up again, limpingly picked up the oil paper bag, and glanced behind him with lingering fear.

Just at this glance, I saw something was wrong.

"Where are you going!"

There was a shout from behind. Before anyone could see anyone, the voice sounded like a ghost:

"Give me back my roast chicken, you thief!"

The man showed fear, resisting the twisting of his feet when he fell just now, ran forward desperately, and soon disappeared around the corner again.

Not long after he disappeared, an afterimage flashed in this alley. The afterimage flashed several times and condensed into the appearance of Lida in the middle.

"You can't run away!"

A red dot appeared in Lida's eyes, "As long as I see you again, you will never be able to run away!"

With that said, she turned into an afterimage again and chased in the direction where the man escaped.

It's very close. Next time, she can definitely catch this man and take back her roast chicken!

The man was still running, and kept running, crossing the streets and alleys, even though his lungs were on fire and his ankles were swollen to the top. The severe pain made him want to stop and lie down immediately. As long as he lay down, he would not There was so much pain.

But he was still running. He didn't dare to stop, or even think about it, because as soon as he took a break, he really couldn't run anymore.

He lowered his head and glanced at the roast chicken in his arms, with a fierce look in his eyes, and continued to move forward.

"It's near!"

"Closing!!"

Red dots flashed in Lida's eyes, flashing crazily in the streets and alleys. Her white hair and white cloak, combined with her high speed, looked like a white ghost chasing mortals in the night.

If she hadn't been able to locate the man the first time, she would have found him long ago instead of wandering around like a headless fly like now.

Her range of knowledge is wide, but for the life breath of ordinary people, it is certainly no problem to predict danger, but if they are not dangerous to you at all, there is no such thing as predicting danger.

"Clo! Where is he!"

Leda cried.

A figure passed behind, and a black shadow was seen crawling on its limbs like a wild beast, falling from a high place, and jumped next to Lida.

The location where they are now is a residential area. They are all two- and three-story magnificent houses. They are decorated the same as other places in the business district, but the atmosphere is very mixed. There seem to be people in these buildings, but they are unusual. The quietness.

Crowe shrugged his nose and pointed it in one direction, "The smell comes from here."

In that direction is a house.

"There?!"

Lida flashed around and quickly came to the house. There was a loud bang and the door burst open the moment she appeared, revealing the darkness inside.

“Give me back my roast chicken!!”

The moment the door was broken open, Lida roared inside, causing waves of sound that shook the whole room.

The darkness gradually dissipated.

The neon lights from the outside illuminate the condition of the houses inside.

Different from the grandeur on the surface of the house, although the house is clean, there is nothing inside. Some furniture that can be called 'scrawl' and a kerosene lamp on the table are all in the living room.

In the living room, the man who stole her roasted chicken was sitting on the floor, next to the opened oil paper bag. Around the man, several children gathered together, devouring the roasted chicken.

These children, who looked very thin, were sitting on their knees. When they heard the noise, they all raised their heads in panic, revealing their pale and malnourished faces.

This scene made Lida stunned for a moment.

boom!

Seeing that the door was kicked open, the man suddenly fell to his knees with his head on the ground and said loudly: "Please let me go, I, I can't help it, my child is too hungry, I can only do this, I can't There’s a solution, please forgive me!”

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing to Lida.

"father!"

Several children rushed over and hugged the man tightly, looking at Lida with fear in their eyes.

cuckoo-

The sound of stomach came from the man's belly.

Lida thought for a moment and tilted her head: "Are you hungry?"

"Yes!"

The man didn't even look up and said, "I've been hungry for many days. I really can't find anything to eat, so I can only walk like this. If, if I must punish, it has nothing to do with my child. It's all my fault. Please Catch me!"

"That's it..." The girl's voice sounded again.

The man closed his eyes and waited for the judgment to come.

This little girl, after all, was wearing a navy cape. She was the navy. When he got the things, he was already prepared.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of something falling to the ground sounded in front of him, and he heard a voice from the front:

"What? Just tell me when you're hungry. I hate being robbed of my food, but if a hungry person asks for it, of course I'll give it to him."

The man raised his head and saw the little navy girl throwing all the bags on the ground.

"Now, you need to eat when you're hungry. Eat what Clow gave me." Lida said.

"This, this..." The man opened his eyes wide with disbelief, "Is this really okay?"

Behind Lida, Crowe transformed into a human and walked over, saying: "Nothing is wrong. You can eat whatever Miss Lida asks you to do, but..."

He glanced at the magnificent surface of the house, then looked at the interior of the four walls of the family, and frowned: "Why is this like this, Gulan Tezzolo, are there people like you?"

Traffickers?

No, not like.

It is impossible for human traffickers to do such a thing.

The man did not answer first, but carefully opened the packages, made sure they contained food, and distributed them to several children on the side. The children showed joy as they divided the food and devoured it one by one.

The man also picked up a piece of bread, and after swallowing it in three or two mouthfuls, his face became a little better.

"Because I owe a debt..."

The man lowered his head and looked downcast: "A few years ago, my family was in a pretty good situation. I came to Gulan Tezoro with my wife and children. It was really just for fun. However, I ended up in debt for no reason. , all the family property was sold, and it was not enough. In the end, I had to be detained here to work. My wife... my wife also died of illness due to long-term overwork, and my children are gone."

As he spoke, he covered his face and tears fell from his fingers.

"This is not an amusement city at all, this is a land of devils. Only later did I learn the rules here - the person who is cheated is the loser."

He gathered himself together, took a few breaths, and then let go of his hand. He looked at the children eating with a trace of tenderness in his eyes:

"These children are all adopted by me. Their situation is similar to mine, so I can't die. I can't die before watching them get their freedom."

"I see..."

Crowe pushed up his glasses, looked up at the tallest gold building in the distance, and said, "The biggest 'human trafficker' is over there."
