Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 53 The most cyberpunk episode

At the moment when the Renhe Group began to take action, Marina was bargaining with the landlord of a dilapidated apartment.

"Ten bucks cheaper!"

"It's already the cheapest... If you don't believe me, you can ask any resident."

"Eight dollars!"

Marina was standing in front of the old wooden counter, looking aggressive, and standing in front of her was a middle-aged woman with a hunched back.

Behind the two men who were constantly arguing, Lao Lang yawned and commented in a bored tone, "What era are we still using the traditional bargaining method?"

"It's so remote, the sanitary conditions are terrible, it's an illegal building that's over 20 years old, only 12 square meters, and there's no private bathroom."

"Two hundred and eighty a month... It's such a damn place, it's really a pity that this old witch opened the exit." Old Wolf casually walked into a few rooms not far away, then walked out and stuck his head under the counter, and came to his conclusion.

"If you take out a gun and put it to the old witch's head, I bet it will be a double-digit number."

Yuan Qingzhuo, who had already lost his skills, nodded in agreement: "He just bullies the weak and fears the strong. This old man is not a good person either."

But Marina is not one of these two ruthless people. Saying harsh words is already the cruelest thing she can do. If she is really asked to make threats, she will definitely be the first to slide on her knees and say "I dare not, I dare not".

I think the old landlord also realized that Marina was the kind of person who only dared to show off her power with words, so he was unwilling to lower the price.

If Marina doesn't really show her toughness, there's really no way she can deal with this old fox who has been working in the outer ring area for decades.

"Noisy, noisy, noisy!"

The old wolf grimaced at the noisy screams of the two women. She shook Yuan Qingzhuo's shoulders frantically: "Quickly kill this old thing for me, Lao Yuan!"

Laolang really couldn't understand why Marina didn't dare to take action.

Even if this old fox has a gun under the drawer - but Marina doesn't know!
In Marina's eyes, the other person should be a frail middle-aged woman.

This kind of black-hearted landlord should be shot directly to purify the environment!
"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Yuan Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes and stared at the landlord for a long while before he suddenly laughed out loud: "It's okay, it's good to let her suffer a little, she won't die anyway."

So the two disembodied guys continued to watch the fight.

Until a cold voice came from the inner door: "If it's too expensive, you can share the rent with me."

Yuan Qingzhuo turned his head in confusion, and a disheveled gray-haired girl came into view. She was standing at the doorstep holding a tattered brown bear.

Her long hair almost covered half of her face, which was covered with strange dust, and her thin body was covered with clothes that were patched together here and there.

Yuan Qingzhuo frowned.

——This girl, you can tell at first glance that she has poor nutrition and hygiene. If Gou Gou lives with her, he will definitely get seriously ill.

And the old wolf's eyes lit up: "I'm super, Loli!"

"how much is it?"

Marina asked.

"I'm paying 140 a month. If you come with me, you'll pay 80."

“Why do I have to pay eighty?”

"Because you are too tall and too big."

Marina was speechless because the girl who appeared was only as tall as her waist.

"Oh, that's not right!"

She suddenly realized what was happening and slapped the counter: "Aren't these rooms exactly the same? Why are you charging me 280?"

The landlord just smiled dryly: "If you are willing to live with her, it has nothing to do with me."

"But two hundred and eight is two hundred and eight, not a cent less."

The landlord took out a black pistol and showed it to Marina. She skillfully opened the safety and loaded the gun.

The threat was self-evident. Marina was not afraid.

Yuan Qingzhuo also felt that Marina should not be afraid.

Her physical fitness is definitely better than that of Lao Deng, and she has three pistols in her pocket. There is no reason for her to bow down to such a guy.

But Marina still put on an awkward smile and turned to walk towards the expressionless little girl.

"Let's talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about. We're sharing a house. You pay 80 yuan, and we share everything. You sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor."

The girl's voice was cold, and her emotionless eyes were half-displayed under her gray hair.
"that's it."

Yuan Qingzhuo and Lao Lang were both shocked—Marina wasn't going to sleep on the floor?

Wtf, can Marina get such a good thing?

The two of them said they couldn't understand it.

"Good good!"

Marina nodded quickly and subconsciously wanted to hug the girl's shoulders, but the latter dodged.

She was not embarrassed, and touched her head and said:

"Elbow, let's go inside and talk."

The girl walked towards her room without saying a word.

"What pure bad luck!" Old Wolf was dissatisfied. She really wanted to take over Marina's body and get rid of this black-hearted landlord. But when she thought about the fact that she lost the bet, she sighed again.

No matter how abstract and ferocious Lao Lang is, she still keeps the most basic integrity.

After a period of silence, the girl opened the security door with the rusty key, and Marina bent down and followed her into the room.

To Yuan Qingzhuo's surprise, the room was not as messy as the girl's appearance. Instead, it was well organized and so clean that it was completely different from the corridor outside.

Although the room was so small that Yuan Qingzhuo was speechless, why did an eighty-one-month-old need a bicycle?

Disguise?...Based on the many novels Yuan Qingzhuo has read, this loli will definitely be super beautiful if she can tidy herself up.

"If you are satisfied, give me the money."

The girl sat on the wooden bed holding a stuffed bear. There were several similar worn-out stuffed dolls at the head of her bed.

Apart from the LED lights hanging from the ceiling, the furnishings in this small room have almost nothing to do with the word "electricity".

It’s hard to imagine that this is the City of the Sun, not the Village of the Sun.

"This is cyberpunk, folks."

Yuan Qingzhuo commented.

"Oh, that's great, eighty, right? Here you go." Marina happily took out some scattered banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them all into the girl's hands.

"Also, I'm a homeless person and I won't die if I sleep on the ground. If you sleep on the ground, you might die any day. I don't want to sleep with a dead person."

Marina held out her hand to the girl.

"My name is Marina, what's your name?"

The girl gazed into the expectant face.

She held her breath silently for a few seconds, then slowly pulled out a silver revolver from the stuffed bear in her arms and placed her finger directly on the trigger.

She pointed it at Marina and said coldly,
"Get out of my room right now. And get out of this apartment right now."

The dark muzzle of the gun was reflected in Marina's clear pupils. She smiled stiffly, feeling a chill all over her body.
