The waiter outside knocked on the door, indicating that Lin Yi's meal had been delivered.

"come in."

When Lin Yi turned his head, several people in black suits walked in. They looked like agents from the movie "Men in Black".

"Also, there is a doorbell at the entrance of this hotel. You don't need to knock. Please pay attention to it next time when you pretend to be a waiter."

"Boss, I told you to ring the doorbell, but you insisted on knocking. Now you're embarrassed." A young girl following behind him covered her face, her voice full of shame and anger.

Lin Yi's teasing made the girl feel very embarrassed, and her face flushed, as if blood could drip out.

She lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into to escape this embarrassing scene.

As the leader, Hammerhead Shark didn't take Lin Yi's teasing seriously at all.

He coughed twice to ease the awkwardness of the situation, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Ahem, you've never been to such a high-end hotel before, right? You'll know next time. We don't need to pay too much attention to these details, let's talk business."

As he spoke, he straightened his back and tried to look decent, as if the previous incident had not affected his mood and image.

Hammerhead Shark straightened his collar, walked up to Lin Yi with his men, and stretched out his hand with a serious face: "Hello, Mr. Lin Yi, I am Hammerhead Shark, the person responsible for contacting you. I am sorry to cause you trouble."

Chapter 98 Signing the Agreement

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Contact person? So, you must have something serious to discuss with me?"

Hammerhead Shark responded: "That's right. We are here on behalf of the Scavenger Organization and hope to have more in-depth exchanges and cooperation with you. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to give us this opportunity?"

"Please speak." Lin Yi nodded.

After hearing Lin Yi's response, Hammerhead Shark and the others looked much more relaxed.

In fact, except for the hammerhead shark, the others who followed him were temporary workers in the scavenger organization.

They receive a fixed monthly salary and are usually called up only when additional personnel are needed.

This time when they came to see Lin Yi, Hammerhead Shark deliberately brought them along, mainly to make the Scavengers look more powerful.

In most cases, these temporary workers do not need to be physically present in the action.

Their existence is more like a symbol, representing the huge scale and strength of the scavenger organization.

In the real world, the restrictions on contractors in Samsara Paradise are very strict, and no one is willing to risk being forcibly executed by going to war with a national organization like the Scavengers.

However, there are always some conceited people who may have great abilities or special backgrounds, and therefore are overly confident in themselves.

These people often believe that they are destined to be the chosen ones, not bound by rules and order, and they disdain the order maintained by organizations such as the Scavengers, and even openly provoke and destroy it.

In this case, the members of the Cleaners will stand up and convince others with reason.

It is worth mentioning that the leaders of the scavengers are usually experienced second-level contractors.

Compared to the first-level contractors who have only experienced a few worlds, they are obviously superior in strength and judgment.

This also enables the scavenger to always be able to control the situation with ease when dealing with various problems.

Those first-level contractors who were arrogant and domineering before tend to become much more low-key after experiencing the lessons of the scavengers.

They began to realize that challenging the scavenger's authority was not a wise move.

This deterrent force also maintains the order of the real world to a certain extent.

The reason why the real world can maintain relative peace and stability is inseparable from the efforts of Samsara Paradise and the Scavenger Organization.

Samsara Paradise exercises restraint at a high level, preventing powerful contractors from causing catastrophic conflicts in the real world, while the Scavengers manage at the grassroots level to ensure daily order and tranquility.

Although there are occasional minor incidents, the world generally remains peaceful and tranquil under the joint protection of the two major organizations.

This stable environment is crucial for both the paradise and the contractors.

"Since Mr. Lin is a sensible man, I will not waste any more words. Everything you did before will be written off. But in return, Mr. Lin, you need to refrain from attacking ordinary people unless they provoke you first." Hammerhead Shark said seriously.

After hearing this, Lin Yi nodded to show that he understood and accepted this condition.

This rule is to protect ordinary people in the real world and ensure that they will not be harmed by fights between contractors.

When he was in the martial arts world before, Lin Yi had already understood and abided by similar regulations.

Seeing that Lin Yi was cooperative, the hammerhead shark continued to talk about a few rules that needed to be followed in the real world.

Lin Yi listened patiently, occasionally nodding in agreement.

After finishing speaking, Hammerhead Shark took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, this is our agreement, you can take a look."

Lin Yi took the document and glanced at its contents.

'Agreement between the Scavenger Organization and the Contractor Lin Yi

In view of the special abilities of the contractor Lin Yi in the real world, in order to maintain the order and security of the real world, the following rules are formulated:

1. It is forbidden to attack ordinary people without reason: The contractor Lin Yi is not allowed to use his strength against ordinary people in the real world without reason, unless he is defending himself when the other party provokes or attacks first.

2. Maintain restraint: When using power, the contractor Lin Yi must maintain restraint to avoid causing unnecessary damage.

3. Cooperate with the investigation and management: The contractor Lin Yi needs to cooperate with the investigation and management of the scavenger organization, state the facts truthfully and provide assistance.

This agreement shall come into effect from the date of signing. Any violation will be handled in accordance with relevant regulations.

This so-called agreement does not have the same binding force as the contract in the reincarnation paradise.

Hammerhead Shark naturally understands that this written agreement may not play a big binding role in actual operation, but the top leaders like this sense of formality and believe that it is a reflection of organizational order and norms.

"Then I wish Mr. Lin a pleasant rest in reality." After Lin Yi signed his name, Hammerhead Shark and his team were ready to leave. As soon as they turned around, they found Ping Yu, a girl who was stealing food from the food truck.

Looking at Ping Yu's embarrassed look after being caught stealing food, the hammerhead shark looked helpless.

After the people from the scavenger organization left, Lin Yi began to pack his luggage, preparing to leave the hotel and visit Su Xiao.

After checking out of the room, Lin Yi walked out of the hotel and went straight to the nearby high-speed rail station.

In front of the ticket machine, Lin Yi bought a high-speed rail ticket.

The final destination of the ticket is an unknown third-tier city. There is no bustling urban scene, nor many tourist attractions. There are only a few factories and historical sites that quietly tell the story of this city.

The high-speed train rumbled along the tracks, carrying Lin Yi all the way.

"Passengers, the train has arrived at XX station. Please..."

After a three-hour journey, the train finally arrived at the terminal.

A notification sounded over the station broadcast, breaking the silence in the carriage.

Lin Yi, who was taking a nap on the seat, opened his eyes, put on his bag, and prepared to leave the high-speed rail station.

Shortly after Lin Yi got off the high-speed train, two stupid pickpockets targeted him and tried to steal his wallet.

Lin Yi's eyes were cold and he easily grabbed the wrist of one of the pickpockets.

With a crisp "click" sound, the pickpocket's right hand was ruthlessly broken by Lin Yi.

In the real world, there are the restrictions of the Samsara Paradise, and Lin Yi is definitely not someone that a gang of thieves can mess with.

Once, a gangster gang had the audacity to provoke Lin Yi, and that night, the gangster boss and the small leaders were subdued by him with thunderous means. They were tied in sacks and sunk into the depths of the Yellow River like stones.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the local area, but the people at the top chose to remain silent.

They knew that the underworld had its own rules, and as long as Lin Yi did not touch the interests of ordinary people, they would not bother to care about the lives of these scum.

Chapter 99 Guangming Street with Strange Feng Shui

As he walked out of the station, Lin Yi was immediately surrounded by a group of people enthusiastically.

These taxi and illegal car drivers, like hounds with a keen sense of smell, are stationed at the entrance of the train station all year round, and are full of expectations for every passenger leaving the station.

"Handsome guy, do you want a ride? My car is cheap and comfortable, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!" a driver greeted enthusiastically.

"Hey, don't listen to him. His car is so shaky and rickety. Come take my car and I will take you safely to where you want to go." Another driver tried to sell himself.

When several people saw Lin Yi, they acted as if they had seen a treasure, and vied with each other to show off their advantages, hoping to attract this business.

"I don't want to share a car. I'm in a hurry. I'm going to Guangming Street for 20 yuan. Is anyone going there?"

Upon hearing the offer, a black car driver's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stomped it out with his foot, and then walked quickly towards Lin Yi.

"Handsome, take my car." He took Lin Yi's luggage enthusiastically and said with a smile on his face, "I promise to take you to Guangming Street quickly and safely, and I will not delay you."

The other drivers were dissatisfied as they saw their business being taken away and couldn't help but start cursing.

They originally wanted to grab this business, but they didn't expect that they would be taken away by someone before they knew it.

Lin Yi calmly got into the car, ignoring the complaints of the drivers around him.

As the car door slammed shut, the driver skillfully fastened his seat belt, then stepped on the accelerator hard and the car rushed out like an arrow.

Along the way, the driver swung through traffic with ease thanks to his familiarity with the road conditions.

The car sped along, taking Lin Yi quickly to Guangming Street.

"Hey, young man, your accent doesn't sound like a local. What are you doing in Guangming Street?" While waiting for the red light, the driver couldn't help but chat with Lin Yi.

"My friend opened a store over there, I'm going to take a look."

After hearing this, the driver showed an expression of disbelief, "Oh, there are still people who would choose to open a store on Guangming Street? I'm not exaggerating, that place, even rats would shake their heads." When he said this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and it was obvious that he knew the situation on Guangming Street very well.

You have to know that opening a store on Guangming Street is like opening a restaurant in front of a public toilet. No one with a mental problem would make such a choice.

"Is there anything special going on over at Guangming Street?"

When the driver heard this, he immediately became interested and started to talk about the story of Guangming Street. "You don't know, Guangming Street is simply a mystery in our city. The place is extremely remote and sparsely populated, and it is said that there are several underworld organizations hiding nearby. Therefore, most people are reluctant to go there, for fear of getting into big trouble for no reason."

At this point, the driver showed a fearful look on his face, sighed, and continued: "To be honest, I was really worried about your friend choosing to open a store there. But maybe he has his own plans and considerations."

While chatting with the black car driver, the car had unknowingly stopped in front of a store at the end of Guangming Road.

After paying the money, Lin Yi got off the car with his luggage.

Looking around, Lin Yi found that this place was indeed as the driver said, remote and deserted, with almost no one to be seen on the entire street.

There were only a few old men and women strolling slowly, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.

Deep in the alley, sounds of fighting and quarreling can be heard from time to time, which makes people worry about the safety here.

Lin Yi stood on Guangming Street, looking around at the sparsely open shops, an expression of laughter appeared on his face.

The commercial atmosphere on this street is really ridiculous and so unique that it cannot be ignored.

In addition to the unique jewelry store opened by Su Xiao, there are also wreath and funeral clothing stores, flower, bird, fish and insect stores, and antique shops on the street.

The four shops have very different styles, but are strangely gathered on this deserted street, forming an absurd comedy scene.

If guests come to this street to shop, they really need a strong heart.

From exquisite jewelry, to mourning wreaths and shrouds, to leisurely flowers, birds, fish and insects, you may even find a treasure in an antique shop.

It's like a wonderful journey through time and space.

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't understand Su Xiao's original idea. Why did he choose to open a store in such a remote place full of strange shops?

Pushing open the door of Lidya Su's jewelry store, the crisp doorbell rang. Lin Yi walked in and found that there was another person there.

"How strange!" Fatty Ma spoke first, breaking the silence in the store, "Su Xiao, you actually have customers in your store, it's really rare!"

"Your place is really hard to find, but the environment is not bad." Lin Yi sat on the chair he moved and looked at Su Xiao's store.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Fatty Ma showed a puzzled look on his face.

He has been here for so many years, but this is the first time he has heard someone praise the environment of Guangming Street.

You know, even the police are unwilling to come to this damn place, and the security situation is extremely poor.

"You said the environment is good? This is Guangming Street, are you sure you're right?" Fatty Ma couldn't help but ask, with a hint of ridicule and disbelief in his tone.

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled softly and shook his head: "I'm not talking nonsense, the environment here is indeed okay. Although it looks a bit shabby and deserted, it has a unique atmosphere. Moreover, the air here is much better than in the city center."

Hearing Lin Yi's serious answer, Fatty Ma was stunned.

He took another look at his surroundings, as if trying to find the unique atmosphere and fresh air that Lin Yi had mentioned.

However, all he saw were still dilapidated and deserted streets and the occasional sound of fighting.
