Chapter 3 When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you(2/2)
"Haha, do you really think I am such a boss who doesn't know how to understand my subordinates? I just know my mistakes."
"Oh, I feel like I can still hold on for a while."
"Stop being brave and go back and rest early. Your body is the capital of revolution."
“Very grateful.”
"Oh, by the way, tell that boy Anda to go back as soon as possible. What a joke. This guy has applied for three more shifts. Is he planning to die suddenly on the job? I won't apply for family allowance for those who died in the line of duty!
"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xing looked at Anda aside, "The White Bird Police Department asked you to go back and rest."
"I know, I'm going to withdraw even if he doesn't say anything," Anda yawned and looked up at the black hole above his head, "It seems like nothing can be found in a short time. We have to be prepared for a long-term fight."
Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, his heart had already flown back to the basement.
After completing the shift handover, Gu Xing took the subway home.
Logically speaking, as an inspector at the Jing'an Police Station of the Lidu City Police Headquarters, the salary is quite considerable, so there is no reason to rent in a basement. However, when Gu Xing went to college, he took out a lot of student loans, including his deceased parents.
Gu Xing is still repaying his debts, and the burden on him is very heavy.
When he walked to the door, Gu Xing saw the neighbor couple Ryuichi and Chiyo carrying large and small bags out.
"Why, are you two leaving Lidu City too? As far as I know, the smog outside the city has not cleared yet..."
"I'm going to run away," Long Yi put down the package, "but I'm not leaving Lidu, I'm just changing places."
"Isn't it comfortable to live here?"
"The debt collectors are coming," Long Yi sighed, "But don't get me wrong, I'm not someone who refuses to repay my debts. It's just that these loan sharks are so abominable that I really have no choice."
Gu Xing thought of Long Yi's cool motorcycle.
"Don't think about it," Long Yi said with a smile: "If I could pay off one-tenth of the debt by selling that motorcycle, I would have sold it long ago. Now I have to rely on it to run away."
"How come you owe so much?"
"This is too much to say." Ryuichi seemed to have no desire to continue talking.
Chiyo, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "It's all me who has caused trouble for Ryuichi. Originally I just wanted to borrow some money to treat my father's illness, but I didn't expect that half of the principal would be wiped out just by cutting off the interest. After that, the profits would compound.
The bigger.”
"I see," Gu Xing hesitated and asked, "Have you ever tried calling the police?"
"Don't be naive," Long Yi patted the dust on his body and raised a large cloud, "Is it useful to call the police? If the loan shark company does not pay the monthly payment to the police station, do you think they can continue to operate."
"Actually, we called the police," Chiyo said, "but the police said that although it seemed that the interest rates on loan sharks exceeded the scope of the law, based on the principle that the police generally do not intervene in civil disputes, it was not easy to directly attack them.
The police also said, are you not wrong at all in borrowing money from loan sharks? What he said is really speechless."
What both of them said is true.
Although he is not a police officer who specializes in economic cases, Gu Xing has a clear understanding of the chaos that exists in the loan sharking industry in his country. Too many people have ruined their lives because of accidentally borrowing loan sharks, and countless people have lost their families and died.
Gu Xing once again thought of the girl he caught with his own hands today. The girl's desperate eyes were engraved in Gu Xing's mind. She was also a victim of loan sharking.
"That's enough for complaining," Long Yi picked up the package again, "Let's part ways. By the way, Gu Xingjun, give me your mobile phone number and I'll contact you again when you have the chance."
Gu Xing complied, "However, the feast promised to you has not been implemented yet."
"There is always a chance. Goodbye, our neighbor."
Looking at the lonely figures of the two people walking towards the exit of the basement passage, Gu Xing felt a little sad for some reason.
For a moment, he even wanted to rush up and tell the two people: I am the police. If you come to me to report the crime, I will be responsible to the end.
Before he spoke, he calmed down again - in a society where plutocrats and politicians dominate the world and collude in collusion, grievances and injustices are as numerous as gravel on the beach. Can a small policeman control it?
What's more, even with a small matter like Long Yi's loan sharking, Gu Xing may not be able to help. Once he takes over, he doesn't know which police officer will be involved.
Although he has lost a lot of memories, for some reason, Gu Xing hates the injustices in the world and the murderers who eat human blood steamed buns with impunity. He always feels that he has been wantonly bullied by these extremely evil people.
, otherwise how could it be so extreme?
Every time he saw in news reports or forums those grievances that could not be cleared away, and the fairness and justice that was ravaged by capital. When he saw such news, he always had nowhere to vent his anger.
He had woken up several times from nightmares in the middle of the night, recalling the cruel deeds of the murderers in the dream, and his mind was constantly burning. He once wiped his gun and thought about dying together with those extremely evil people, but he always felt that it would not help if he tried to use his arms as a chariot.
"It's like hitting an egg against a stone."
Thinking of this, Gu Xing shook his head and opened the door to his basement.
After entering the door, Gu Xing walked straight to the corner without even having time to take off his clothes.
A day later, the small hole still existed, as if to prove that what he saw and felt last night was not Gu Xing's hallucination.
Gu Xing lay on the ground and stared for a long time, but there was still light inside the cave.
That huge finger, could it be... No matter from which angle you look at it, this idea is too outrageous.
But after all, you have to try it and verify it before you can feel at ease?
The doubts that had been swirling in Gu Xing's mind all day were getting bigger and bigger, to the point where he had to find a way to solve them.
If he hadn't been tasked with on-site duty, Gu Xing would have gone home long ago.
This time, I can't push my fingers in recklessly.
Gu Xing found a pencil, peeled off the paint on the outside, and put it into the hole.
He turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the online news live column of Lido TV. The first thing he saw was the beautiful and familiar face of the female host, and next to him was Eio Uematsu, an expert in the field of natural sciences with embarrassment written all over his face.
"Hello everyone, this is Lidu TV. Next, we will continue to report that our station has just received the news. Just two minutes ago, [Lidu Giant Pen] fell from the sky. Now I will hand over the picture to our on-site reporter."
Is the efficiency so high?
In the live broadcast, a huge pencil protruded from the huge black hole and was quietly suspended in mid-air.
Gu Xing looked at his phone, his mind going blank.
