Chapter 178 Recognition of Greatness
At that time, Lin En was curious about how wild extraordinary people appeared in the Lower City. From the data shared within the [Suppression Bureau] and the subsequent joint law enforcement, it was shown that these rats should be of the same sequence and the number should not be small.
In fact, from an economic point of view, it is clear that the [Suppression Bureau] needs so much money to train an extraordinary person, not to mention a ghost place like the Lower City.
But Lin En didn't take it seriously at the time.
Many times, people don't pay too much attention to things outside the scope of their duties. At most, they remember that there is such a thing and explore it in detail when they need it. This is the norm for most people. Lin En's thinking mode is similar. The memory palace allows him to quickly recall what he needs.
Of course, the memory palace is not omnipotent.
For example, Mr. Umbrella's facial features and the complicated and mysterious patterns on the umbrella, Lin En has always found it difficult to recall clearly, and can only vaguely remember the general idea.
Now, Lin En feels that he is slowly approaching the truth.
There must be something in the Lower City that some people want, and for this reason they can do some illegal activities by any means, and there are many people involved. Whether it is the church, the Medical Association or the government, after clearing away the fog and obstacles, they will find that they all intervened one after another because of this thing, and the [Suppression Bureau] should not have been informed.
The reason is also very simple.
One is that this matter has an irreconcilable conflict with the [Suppression Bureau]'s foundation concept, and the second is that there has been no news from the headquarters to the branch from beginning to end, saying what can be done and what cannot be done, and what to turn a blind eye to.
So what is it?
Lin En, who was thinking, raised his hand unconsciously and pinched a leaf. He looked at the texture and veins of the green leaf, felt the vitality carried by this leaf, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation. With his current extraordinary knowledge, there is no way to guess what can cause such a situation.
Even if we return to the initial goal and patrol and snipe the murderer who killed Doctor Willy, there is no way to bypass the Medical Association. These seem to be two different things, but in fact they are the continuation of one thing.
After thinking, Lin En talked carefully with Tie Gou again.
About the scope of the spread of the belief of [Painless Apostles], as well as their number and possible weapons. Judging from Lin En's increasingly solemn expression, the content of this discussion is not very optimistic. Although he feels a little solemn, the young gentleman still maintains his demeanor.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the old and the young is getting more and more harmonious.
After Lin En's previous strength was recognized, he won Tie Gou's respect. After all, gang culture is like this, whoever is strong is the boss, and this strength is mostly violence, but there are also times of wisdom.
The detailed discussion took a lot of time.
From the time when the sky was a little dim to the sunset, Lin En picked out every detail he could get. When he was sure that the topic was over, Tie Gou breathed a sigh of relief, and his body shook and almost sat on the ground. To be honest, it is too mentally exhausting to cooperate with Lin En to carefully recall and dig out the things in his memory. It is not something that ordinary people can follow casually.
"Well, it seems that our conversation is almost over."
This old man who is almost has become a conditioned reflex.
Because every time Lin En said almost to comfort him, the following almost is not much, which is completely based on the mood of the young gentleman.
"I'm honored that I can help you."
This thug from the Far South who settled in Steam felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin En, and had an urgent urge to escape from him. If Lin En hadn't been here, he would have probably laid down without any scruples.
Lin En was also quite surprised that this old thug could last so long.
"Well, goodbye, Mr. Hook." Taking off his top hat, Lin En said goodbye and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Lin En."
Mr. Hook, who was a little tired, called him.
"I know you are a decent gentleman. From the moment I got to know you, I could understand why Sophia, that wild girl, would restrain her temper. She saved my life. I was old and had no children. I wanted to let her take my place, but I thought about it again. Not many people like us can have a good end, so I'd better not hurt her. She has a good man, and this man loves her. It's enough for her to live happily in the rest of her life."
Did Sophia save Hook's life?
Lin En touched his nose. His sister had never told him about this.
"I hope you won't make the wild girl cry."
"I won't." No one else needs to remind Lin En of this. The only place that can make Sophia cry is the big bed in the bedroom.
"You know, I am an old man with half of my body buried in the ground. I have seen too many people and know what people are like. And your expression just now is very scary. You want to hurt others and yourself. You must know something and want to do something that is not easy."
Tie Gou knows what kind of expression it is. He has seen similar expressions on the faces of many gang gunmen before they decide to die.
Lin En's handsome face flashed a trace of surprise.
He didn't expect that he, who has always been in the active position, would be seen by this old gangster. Indeed, the closer he gets to the truth, the more pressure he feels to bend his spine. If he doesn't want to be bent, he can only straighten it with force to show that he will not give in.
Lin En was struggling here. The more he investigated, the more he realized that he might not be able to change anything. Even if he investigated the truth, it would be useless. He might even risk his life. Could his heart answer why he was fighting so hard?
When questioning himself like this, a picture flashed through the mind of the young gentleman.
Sophia, her figure bathed in the sun made Lin En's hesitant eyes gradually calm down. She was the goddess in his mind after putting on makeup and dressing up beautifully this morning. If it was for her, he would rush forward even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead until the threat was eliminated.
"I won't fail."
Lin En smiled brilliantly, with unparalleled firmness and confidence in his smile. People can become fearless and brave for others. The determination to protect something can make human individuals create miracles.
For example, before crossing, when his grandson was crushed by a car, his grandmother burst out with amazing strength to overturn the car in order to save her grandson. To protect their homes, the most lovely people were frozen to death in the ice and snow, and they fought tenaciously against the heavy rain of steel with their flesh and blood on Shangganling.
In the past, facing these deeds, the immature Lin En laughed, ridiculed, questioned, and was numb.
But when it was really his turn to wake up.
He actually felt tears welling up in his eyes. There was no other reason. Even in different worlds, those great things still inspired him to embark on the road of liberating himself and embracing greatness.
