Marvel's Great Old Ones

"Come on, come on, go a little to the left, pass, go a little to the right..."

Li Xiu took Cthulhu around early in the morning to make the construction more difficult for the construction team. At one moment he was directing the hanging of signs, and at the next he was directing the installation of glazed windows.

Even though Daniel had already told him that there was a mental ward manager here, so he didn't need to pay attention to it, but the workers still felt aggrieved and annoyed.

It's a pity that Daniel also said that this is the financial owner, the one who gave the money, even if you want to beat him. He could only continue to talk here for more than an hour.

In the end, Daniel was so annoyed by the foreman that he came over to coax Li Xiu away.

Now Daniel has mastered the correct communication method for Li Xiu. He is just a smooth-coated donkey. He can only be coaxed and cannot be forced on, otherwise it will be "harmful to the body."

Li Xiu was coaxed to boil water to make a drink, and Daniel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really afraid that those workers would scold Li Xiu, but he was not afraid of scolding from both sides, nor was he afraid that Li Xiu would be beaten.

Having discovered Li Xiu's weirdness, he was just afraid that if Li Xiu did something to the other side, he would be sued by the vampires in the union and would have to pay a large sum of money.

Daniel directed the workers to replace the statue in the auditorium with the newly ordered hollow statue. The decoration was changed to be generally black with a little light like a starry sky.

He never understood why Li Xiu was obsessed with renovating this church.

Although it may look more comfortable to live in this way, the original sense of the 1970s and 1980s has suddenly disappeared, leaving only a gaudy feel.

There are still seven boxes of ashes left in the church. Except for the two who have no identity information, there are still five that need to be contacted as soon as possible to arrange burial.

Daniel felt a little dizzy when he thought that it would be another huge expense. There is no source of income in the church now, and it is impossible for those congregants to donate money to the two of them.

After a busy morning, only a small part of the church decoration work was carried out, and the construction team stopped the work. The remaining work will take about three days.

Since the construction team adopted a phased renovation method, Daniel and Li Xiu could still change places and continue to live in the church, otherwise Daniel, who had just moved in, would have to move his things away again.

The weather in New York in June was so brutal that the church's air conditioning lines had been removed.

squeak!

Li Xiu, who was lying on the chair like a dog, heard the sound of car braking outside. He shouted feebly: "Daniel, someone seems to be coming. Go and open the door!"

Several Ford cars stopped outside the church, and a group of yellow men who looked awkward to deal with got out of the car.

"Heizi, are you sure Daniel entered a church?" He got out of the car and looked at the church in front of him. Li Mo, who was wearing a black suit, waved to call a strong man with dark skin.

As the largest Chinese gang in New York, Ji Shitang still has some power. After checking the surveillance and asking those street guys, he easily knew Daniel's location.

"He didn't cover up his figure when he came. I asked him personally. That's what those guys were talking about. They also said that he did have a strange green octopus on his head." Heizi came over and scratched his head.

Am I overthinking it? Daniel wasn't kidnapped?

Li Mo touched his nose. He seemed a little too nervous! There was something wrong with the situation on the road recently, which made him a little nervous.

Thinking that those gangsters might have kidnapped Daniel and threatened him, and fearing a fight, he brought more than ten people with him when he came.

Forget it, come here and see what's going on.

Li Mo, who had made up his mind, was just about to ask a boy to knock on the door when the church door opened with a creak.

Daniel shyly poked his head out, only to find a group of yellow men outside the door, all of them tall and capable. Are you here to see your boss? He immediately gave Li Xiu some ideas about the identities of gangsters.

"Daniel!"

Just as Daniel was about to turn around and call Li Xiu out, he heard a somewhat familiar call coming from the group of yellow people.

"Andrew!"

Daniel looked back with surprise and screamed in surprise.

"You were not kidnapped!" Li Mo stepped forward and looked at Daniel, but did not find the strange green octopus on him that the subordinate mentioned.

"What kidnapping? Who are they? What's the situation now?" Daniel walked around everyone and wanted to give Andrew a hug.

Looking at his neat black suit and the mortar-stained shirt he had not yet changed, he wisely chose to shake hands.

Signaling the others to return to the car first, Li Mo took Heizi, a close confidant, and Daniel into the church and briefly introduced the situation to him.

"So you are the leader of a Chinese gang, and you are about to become the boss!" Daniel's eyes widened in a funny way.

"Why did you move away suddenly? You didn't say a word." Li Mo looked up and looked at the decoration in the church auditorium and teased: "Are you planning to fall into the arms of Joe and the Lord?"

Seeing that Li Mo was not going to respond to his question, Daniel shrugged and said, "Qiao Fu has left. I am just a part-timer now."

"When will anyone be willing to take over Qiao Fu's mess? He is so stubborn and refuses to give in," Li Mo said in surprise.

As long as Joe is willing to relent and has the conditions to demolish the church and build it into a residential building, on such a large piece of land, it won't take long for the rent to be paid back.

"How could that old guy Joe give in? My boss bought this place with all cash." Daniel said nonchalantly.

"Full payment! He is a rich man from somewhere, and he is actually willing to be taken advantage of."

"Don't... don't talk nonsense!" Daniel covered Li Mo's mouth with a palpitating expression. He pointed at his head and said, "My boss's place is not very good. Some... you know."

"What do you know? Daniel, who are they?" Li Xiu's voice suddenly sounded from behind Daniel.

"Ah! Old-boss, when did you come out? It's nothing. He is my friend, and the staff he brought outside are, yes, staff."

Daniel was startled into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained.

"Friend? Are you Chinese?" Li Xiu held a quilt, looked at Li Mo, and said in Chinese.

"Are you Daniel's boss? Hello, my name is Li Mo."

Li Mo's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the pungent-smelling thing in Li Xiu's cup with a look of confusion on his face.

"Sir, is this gasoline you're drinking?!"

"Oh, this is just a special drink." Li Xiu drank the gasoline in his hand and changed the subject: "Then we are still the same family."

"My surname is also Li, and my name is Li Xiu, but you can also call me Locke."

drinks! You are a liar!

Li Mo was fuming in his heart. It was not like he had never seen gasoline before.

I don't know why, but the young and unkempt guy in front of me actually gave him a sense of majesty that was even stronger than that of the Third Master.

Just like the wild tiger he had seen in the Northeast. Different from those captive domestic animals, the tiger has a sense of oppression of the upper creatures over the lower creatures, as if it can easily take away life by raising its claws.

And the feeling Li Xiu gave him was even deeper, like a huge shadow of scaly claws that suddenly flashed across the dim environment of the deep sea. It was indescribable and made people feel chills and shivers.

"Don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down." Li Xiu greeted the three of them to sit down and asked, "Li Mo, why did you come to Daniel?"

Li Mo was a little restless, and he said with a smile: "Daniel moved suddenly without saying hello. I was a little worried, so I checked it out, so I came to ask, I take the liberty of disturbing you."

Li Xiu didn't pay attention to the intrusive words. He was not a big shot. On the contrary, he noticed the investigation in Li Mo's mouth.

Being able to speak the words of investigation shows that he at least has some energy. It just so happened that Li Xiu wanted to find someone to create a fake identity.

But now he didn't know how to speak. Li Xiu racked his brains to think of what he could do to help the other party. It's a pity that except for some strength, he has nothing.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment because of Li Xiu's sudden silence.

Daniel turned around and said in a haha ​​manner: "Andrew, what do you do? I saw there were so many people with you when you came."

"It's nothing, it's just some medicines and logistics, and I can earn some hard money. The people outside are all my employees, and they all rely on their peers. They are quite thin in Hell's Kitchen."

"Mr. Locke, do you need my help?" Seeing Li Xiu's troubled face, Li Mo said. Li Xiu gave him an unusual feeling. If possible, he could still try to get in touch with him.

"Ahaha, why is it so obvious?" Li Xiu turned his head to cover it up and said, "I want to ask if you have any way to help me get an identity."

"Get an identity?"

Could he be a smuggler? Li Mo guessed in his heart, but did not ask. He said: "I just have a legal identity and I still have some face. Leave it to me."

"Well, I can't take it for nothing, so let's do this," Li Xiu stood up, found a pen and paper and wrote down the temporary phone card number he used as Daniel, and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me. Telephone."

"Of course, money aside, it's best if you need to solve the other party. I'm not good at solving things, only the people who create them."

"It's just a small thing, not worth worrying about..."

Li Mo refused again and again, and finally put the note into his jacket pocket with a cautious expression.

……

"Boss, is it worth it? He's just a lunatic. It's not cheap to have a more reliable identity."

On the way back, Heizi, who was driving the car, said angrily: "The man named Daniel has nothing to do with you. I just went to ask, so that's okay."

"I always feel that the one named Li Xiu is not simple. As you know, this feeling has saved me so many times that we can survive until now."

Li Mo leaned on his seat and looked helplessly at Heizi, who had accompanied him all the way from China to overseas. He explained: "Heizi, after so many years, I always feel that this world is extraordinary. Which of those big organizations doesn't have that kind of power?" It’s a weird legend, I want to ask Third Master about it when I get back.”

Third Master is from the older generation. It is said that he started hanging out in Brooklyn shortly after World War II and even has some connections with China.

If there is anyone in Jishitang who knows the things underground best, it is the third master.
