Collapse: The World I Live In

Chapter 68 Paddy Ferris

After the farce-like betrayal ended, Yi walked out of the room and looked at Ying who was leaning against the wall at the door, not knowing what to say.

Ying also noticed Yi's expression and said, "Are you still thinking about what Wilson said?"

"...Not really." Yi said, "I just feel that I'm very lucky..." Indeed, Yi was lucky to meet Mobius, Alicia, Long, Eden, Hen, Kevin and others.

"Forget it, I have to complete Mobius's mission after I get here..." Yi shook his head, putting the previous things behind him, and said, "But Dusk Street is so big... How can I find it?"

……

"So, why do we have to go back to this rooftop?" Sakura couldn't help but ask as she looked back to the rooftop where they had met before.

"The higher you stand, the farther you can see. Now watch me." Yi said as he closed his eyes, then opened them again. His originally dark pupils turned scarlet.

Ying looked at Yi's eyes and couldn't help feeling a chill. She was hypnotized by those eyes without realizing it. Ying didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.

Yi, on the other hand, was using the Sharingan to observe the entire Dusk Street. During his observation, he discovered a troublesome thing. In the center of Dusk Street, in the sanatorium, there were a large number of traces of Honkai energy. If he didn't care about it, this place would collapse sooner or later.

He quickly turned around and said to Ying behind him, "Ying... now... we are in big trouble..."

"What happened?" Sakura asked.

"In one of the sanatoriums in the middle... there are traces of Honkai energy being emitted... We have to solve this problem before the Honkai energy erupts, otherwise... Honkai will happen then..." Yi said seriously.

"What should we do..." Sakura asked.

"Let's go and find out what the sanatorium in the middle is for." After Yi said that, he walked downstairs, and Ying followed him.

……

Just as Yi and Ying were about to go downstairs, a thin girl with brown hair was running towards Yi, with several people following behind her, chasing after her.

"Stop! You stole something and you're still trying to run away!" the man chasing the girl yelled.

The girl who was being chased at this time couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have gone to buy supplies without eating in the morning. Who could have known that while buying supplies, her stomach suddenly growled. Otherwise, with her skills, how could she have been discovered!

The girl was about to lead her people towards where Yi was, and Yi happened to be coming down from upstairs. Just by chance, Yi and the girl bumped into each other. The girl lost her balance and fell to the ground. She rubbed her head and looked at the person who was about to catch up with her. Then she had an idea. She looked at Yi in front of her, who was dressed gorgeously and looked of high status. There was also the pink-haired woman following behind him, with a knife on her body. She looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. So she quickly stood up and hid behind Yi.

Yi was a little confused by the girl's actions. Looking at the people running towards him, Yi realized that he was being used as a gun.

"Boy, I advise you to hand over the girl behind you to me, otherwise you will be in trouble." The few people who came over, like a TV drama, threatened the chess player in front of them. After all, there were only three people on the opposite side. Can't we win with our group? What a joke, three against one, the advantage is mine.

"You...you guys don't be so proud. This is our old...boss. He has a very important status. I advise you to go...back quickly." The girl said hesitantly.

"Oh, really?" The leader of the opposite side looked at Yi with contempt and said, "This is your boss...Brothers, grab your weapons, it's a good time to settle old and new accounts together!" After that, the people on the opposite side took out guns from their clothes one by one and pointed them at Yi and the others.

Seeing the man pulling out a gun, the girl thought it was all over. Not only was she finished this time, but she had also implicated others. She quickly said, "Wait... I don't know him, just take me back." The girl came out and stood in front of Yi. Yi could see the girl's slightly trembling body.

Ying on the side was about to draw her knife. She was sure she could kill the opponent before he fired a shot, but Yi stopped Ying. If Ying took action, the opponent might die.

He then pulled the thin girl in front of him to his back and said to the people opposite, "You are so grown up... and still chasing after a little girl, aren't you ashamed..." After that, he opened his Sharingan and looked at the people opposite.

"Asshole, you say..." The leader on the opposite side wanted to say something, but a feeling of dizziness came over him, he closed his eyes, and fell to the ground. His companions behind him also fell to the ground one after another.

The girl looking at this scene was stunned for a moment. She wondered who she was hanging out with.

At this time, a voice sounded in the ears of the shocked girl, bringing her back to reality, "Well, this lovely girl, it's time to talk about our business." The girl turned around tremblingly, looking at the smiling face showing her, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said tremblingly, "Boss, do you have any instructions?"

Afterwards, Yi and Ying followed the girl to her residence, which was an inconspicuous alley where the girl’s daily necessities were piled up.

"...Hey, my name is Pado Felice. Boss, you can call me Pado or Felice." Pado said with a smile beside Yi.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Yi couldn't help but ask, "Do you live in this place..."

"I grew up on Dusk Street and have never been anywhere else except Dusk Street. This place is where we live and reminisce. Maybe... the environment is a little bad. I hope the boss doesn't mind..." Padu touched his head and said with a smile.

"..." Yi was silent, looking at the girl in front of him. This young girl had some bruises on her body from falling, but she must have suffered so much in the past few years...

"This is..." Sakura behind him said as she took down a wanted poster from the wall next to her.

"Oh, I don't have any photos of myself when I was little. This is the only photo I have." Padu showed off her photo to Ying with a smile, and said proudly, "I am known as the chivalrous thief of Dusk Street. Those rich people in Dusk Street can't do anything to me."

"Since you can steal... and get things from those rich people, you shouldn't have ended up like this..." Yi originally wanted to say steal, but changed his words because he was afraid that he might hurt the little girl by what he said carelessly.

"We gave all the stolen money to the poor people... and the remaining money was just enough for our own food. We were chased this time only because we didn't eat breakfast and our stomach gave us away, so we were chased." Paduo touched her head and said with a smile. This girl always had a smile on her face, which was the spirit that the Fire Moth lacked now.

"..." Ying and Yi were silent. The ancients said that if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world. But the girl in front of them couldn't even live a good life herself, and she was risking her life to help others.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about us. What do you two want to do in Dusk Street? There is nothing in the entire Dusk Street that we don't know." Pado looked at the two silent people and quickly changed the subject and said.

"Well, do you know what that sanatorium in the middle of Dusk Street is for?" Yi looked at Ying and said when he saw Ying nodded.

"That place is a place that specifically adopts poor people and children," Padu replied.

"In a place like Dusk Street...are there such institutions? Who provides the funds for this sanatorium?" Ying couldn't help but ask. It was hard for her to believe that in a lawless place like Dusk Street, there was a place dedicated to caring for orphans and the poor.

"Ah, this sanatorium was established by Sister Nia. As for the source of funds... I don't know. By the way, I also donated money to this sanatorium." Paduo said, patting his chest.

"Really?" Yi remembered the name 'Sister Nia' and asked, "Has anything happened in that place recently?"

"Recently?" Padu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Recently, the sanatorium has taken in more and more poor people."

"Do those people have any special characteristics?" Yi asked hurriedly.

"Yes, there are some people with purple lines on their bodies, and they look sick..." Padu scratched his head and said, "What's wrong, Boss? Is there any problem?"

"No, no, thank you, Paduo." Yi had no intention of telling the girl the truth. From what the girl said, he already knew what the large amount of Honkai energy in the sanatorium was. They were the patients suffering from Honkai disease.

After that, Yi gave all the money he had on him to Paduo, and also gave Paduo a business card, saying, "This is your reward, and this business card. If... you have any difficulties in the future, you can come here to find me." He turned to Ying and said, "Ying, it's time to go." After that, he took Ying away, and Ying followed behind Yi. In a place where the girl didn't notice, Ying also left her money, hoping to help the girl.

"Hey! You're in such a hurry to leave..." Padu said, and then looked at the money in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, "He's really a big boss, he paid so much at once!"

After looking at the business card again, Paddo read out what was on it, "Mobius Labs...who is that?"
