Go back? There's no going back.

Now, Su Wei feels a little regretful.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Due to the spread of a still unknown curse, women in the slums have completely disappeared.

It is very common that the refugees who have lived and gathered here for many years have their personalities distorted, and even enter a new world.

However, Su Wei never expected that even the "neighborhood brothers" who seemed normal in his childhood were affected.

"Um, I'm Su Wei, do you remember me? At this time eight years ago, I was still living next door and was your neighbor—"

Looking at the few people who had cornered him, Su Wei remained calm. He smiled without changing his expression and said, "At that time, our two families would occasionally visit each other."

However, even though Su Wei had already introduced himself, the old men in front of him, who seemed to have become quite unfamiliar, did not seem to have any intention of letting him go.

"Eh? Fifth brother, what should I do... He seems to really be the little Su Weiye from back then? Uhuhuhuhu... He will be even more attractive than I thought when he grows up--"

At this moment, the sixth brother who was first spotted by Su Wei spoke.

As if asking for advice, he turned to look at the other man who had his arm around him - the fifth of the six brothers.

Compared with the Lao Liu in Su Wei’s childhood memory, his temperament now was no longer masculine and impulsive, and even his voice was no longer loud, but had become quite shrill.

Even though he was interrupted in his good mood, the look he gave Su Wei at this moment was not anger, but more of shyness.

"What else can be done?"

On the other side, the old fifth who was asked snorted coldly, licked his lips, and looked at Su Wei unscrupulously: "Since he disturbed my good thing, I'll kill him first."

It was as if the two poles had reversed. The boy who had been introverted and shy in Su Wei's impression in the past had now become a completely different person, becoming evil, crazy and extremely aggressive.

"Well... I think it's a bit of a waste to kill him like this. It's better to come at the right time than to come early. It's just right, let him join our big family?"

On the side, the second brother, who had just returned with the eldest brother among the six brothers, had a charming look on his face and looked tentatively at the eldest brother beside him.

"can."

The eldest brother was as silent and dull as ever.

But, unlike in the past, when he looked at Su Wei this moment... there was light in his eyes.

"..."

The whole person stood there in a daze, and Su Wei felt a little numb.

After not seeing each other for eight years, the first, second, fifth and sixth children have all opened the door to a new world.

He had no idea about the situation of the third and fourth brothers among the six brothers.

But now, not only him, probably the parents of these six people would never have thought that after giving birth to six children, they would also encounter the crisis of the extinction of their family line.

Su Wei sighed silently when he realized that the four people who were blocking his way were breathing heavier.

He realized that reasoning was no longer going to work.

There is only one magic bullet left in the magazine.

Su Wei originally thought that this time he just came over to ask some questions, and it would never escalate to the point where he needed to draw his gun.

But now... I can only say that fate is unpredictable.

There is indeed something wrong with the people in this slum.

After living there for a long time, people who were originally no problems may become problems.

"Hey, isn't this the little water gun from m1660? Little Su Wei, you don't think a little toy like this can have any effect, do you?"

Seeing Su Wei pull out the magic gun from his waist, the second sister among the four...the second brother's smile suddenly became more intoxicating: "Why don't you let me see the other gun on you first?"

"Shut up! That's not M1660, that's... that's M1996 Helen Bell Anaconda Forest Recoilless V12 Final Enhanced Edition!"

But at this moment, the eldest brother next to him suddenly changed his expression.

Earlier, when he went to pick up his second brother who had returned from the mountains to collect herbs, he saw the gendarmerie dealing with a corpse in an alley a few blocks away.

When I got closer and asked, I found out that the three bullies who had committed so much evil in this slum had all died this morning.

Even Scarface, who had made more progress in cultivation than him and was already a second-level strongman, died.

What a miserable death.

Preliminary inference is that the murder weapon is a firearm-like magical weapon.

It was precisely because he knew this that his heartbeat suddenly quickened when he saw Su Wei, who suddenly came back here after eight years, draw out his magic gun.

Especially after taking a closer look, the boss' heart suddenly jumped into his throat when he discovered that there were indeed some differences between Su Wei's magic gun and those small water guns circulating on the black market.

He had already realized that the person in front of him was most likely the ruthless man who had shot Scarface with two shots not long ago...

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Little Su Wei, we were just joking with you. We are full here and we won't let you join us. Don't be impulsive!"

The eldest brother slapped his second brother who was about to say something, and pulled him behind him. He waved his hands repeatedly: "We are old acquaintances. If there is anything, we can discuss it. Let's discuss it!"

"..."

Glancing at the eldest of the six brothers, Su Wei was silent for a moment, nodded, and moved the gun that was originally aimed at the latter slightly away: "Let's discuss it. I came here this time... I really have something to ask you. Of course, I will pay you the corresponding consulting fee."

"Okay, okay..."

A few moments.

In the living room of the neighbor's house, after telling the four brothers his intention to ask about the haunted incident that year, Su Wei quietly waited for their reply.

However, what Su Wei did not expect was that the simple inquiry, which he thought would go smoothly, was obstructed at the very beginning.

The fifth and sixth brothers didn't say anything. The so-called "slum haunting" happened about fifteen or sixteen years ago. They were only five or six years old at that time and didn't seem to remember what happened.

As for the two brothers, the eldest and the second, who recorded in Su Wei's notebook that they had seen ghosts with their own eyes, for some reason, their faces changed drastically after hearing the question, and they fell silent.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

Seeing this, Su Wei was slightly stunned.

Could it be possible that something really happened here?

"It's not that it's inconvenient...but, how much consulting fee can you give us later, Su Wei?"

Under Su Wei's gaze, the second brother paused, reached out and held the back of his eldest brother's hand, his eyes gradually became sad: "That incident will awaken bad memories between him and me. Now saying it out loud is like letting us open our own scars with our own hands... So you have to pay more."

"…Tell me, I'll give you this number."

Under the gaze of the four brothers, Su Wei slowly raised a finger.

Even though I am also just a poor man.

But this time, he didn't mind spending one hundred, one thousand, or even more gold coins to inquire about the information that might be related to his mother's disappearance.

"What! That's all??"

However, after Su Wei made this gesture, his second brother and sister, who were sitting at the table opposite him, slammed the table as if they had been humiliated.

"I refuse! Little Su Wei, you are so insulting! That is a scar that will haunt us for the rest of our lives... If you want to find out, you have to at least pay us this amount!"

As they said this, the second elder brother, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose makeup was cracked, raised three fingers fiercely and said without giving in:

"Without three silver coins, I will never tell you."

"Yes, yes! Su Wei! Don't go too far!"

Upon seeing this, Lao Wu immediately joined in and glared at Su Wei ferociously.

"..."

Looking at the two people in front of him who were filled with righteous indignation, Su Wei was a little dazed.

Although I don't really understand, but your heartache... is quite affordable?

"Then... just three silver coins. I'll pay for it."

After a moment of silence, a look of pain appeared on his face, and Su Wei nodded solemnly: "Go ahead, in detail."

"Well, that's right."

With a smile of victory on his face, the second brother and sister nodded contentedly and sat down again.

"Everything starts from that day sixteen years ago..."

Clearing his throat, under the silent gaze of his eldest brother, the second brother's eyes reappeared with a trace of sadness, and he began to speak in a tender voice:

"The day before I turned sixteen, I fell in love with this man next to me. We agreed to stay together for the rest of my life and on his birthday... I would give myself completely to him."

Or...why don't you just start from the time when Pangu created the world?

Looking at his second brother and sister who were beginning to recall the past, the expression on Su Wei's face became a little stiff.

However, perhaps because they had sensed his thoughts, the next thing the second brother and sister said went straight to the point.

"But, unfortunately, an accident happened on my birthday."

As he said this, as if recalling what happened at that time, the man, who was already wearing foundation, turned even paler without noticing:

"That night, just as we were hugging each other and about to step into our little nest of happiness together, the main door outside our courtyard... was kicked open by someone."

"He was a very strong man. He was tall and mighty, with bronze skin, extremely clear features, and a weapon that could make your heart... stop suddenly."

"When he saw us, he didn't say anything. He kicked Ah Da away, grabbed my slender waist, and took me to the wall, then..."

When they said this, the second brother and sister's voices became choked up.

The eldest brother, who was silent to the point of deafening, held his brother's hand and consoled him softly.

"?"

Su Wei waited patiently for a moment.

But when he found that his second brother and sister were no longer going to talk, and even used complicated eyes to signal him to pay, Su Wei couldn't help but tilt his head: "...So, is there any news here that is related to the ghost rumors at that time?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the second brother and sister who were originally crying were also stunned, raised their heads and said: "I'm talking about the man who broke into our house, he is a ghost!"

"…ha?"

The expression on Su Wei's face became more and more confused.

"That man's nickname was Zhuang Ding. He was disemboweled and died on the street of Slum Street No. 9 in the early morning of October 10, the 25th year of the Queen's New Calendar."

At this time, the eldest brother, who had been silent for a long time, answered Su Wei's doubts on behalf of his younger brother: "And my younger brother's birthday is October 10th."

As soon as the words fell, the air in the entire living room suddenly froze.

"…If it is true, then this information is indeed of reference value."

After a few seconds of silence, Su Wei silently took out the notebook he carried with him and turned to the page about "Special Slum Person Investigation Record 14: The Strong Man with the Ox-Head".

He pointed the hand-painted portrait of the devilish muscle man wearing a mask and with muscles like a dragon towards the two of them and asked sternly, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"I'm...sure, I'm absolutely sure!"

However, after seeing the portrait in Su Wei's hand, the boss, who had a tense face, suddenly trembled all over and broke down emotionally after a brief silence.

"It's him! It's definitely him! Sixteen years... a full sixteen years!"

He slammed the table, stared at the portrait, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "For so many years, every year, every month, even every day... I would think of this bastard!"

“Even I didn’t get a complete brother… He really deserves to die, really deserves to die…!!”

"…Besides, you should have seen this guy!"

Just when Su Wei felt that the situation was about to get out of control, the boss in front of him suddenly calmed down.

"Yes... I remember it very clearly. After he bullied us, this guy left here, and then he-"

Su Wei's face was reflected in his cloudy pupils. The man seemed to have remembered something. His bloodshot eyes suddenly stared at Su Wei and said word by word: "I went directly to your house next door."

Chapter 15: He...returned to the slums?

"That strong man...went directly to your house next door."

As these words came out of the boss's mouth, the whole room suddenly became quiet and fell into a slightly weird atmosphere.

"my home?"

Su Wei frowned when he heard this and subconsciously recalled it.
