"Area 23 is under maintenance, please take a detour."

"What?" Yu Yifan was a little confused, but it wasn't that Area 23 seemed to be in any special condition.

He was surprised that there was no special situation in Area 23.

So the key to the question is who made this sign?

District 23 is in such chaos, and no one is there to manage it. How could someone be so kind as to set a standard?

Ignoring the sign, Yu Yifan stepped into District 23, but before he could take a few steps, Yu Yifan was stopped by someone.

"The ones in front, wait."

"What are you doing?" Yu Yifan turned around and found an ordinary-looking young man walking towards him.

"Are you new here? You don't know this is District 23?" The young man looked a little anxious.

"I know, I just came here to find a friend." Yu Yifan said naturally, "No, who are you? Why do you care about me?"

After hearing what Yu Yifan said, the man's eyes looked a little strange: "Friend? Are you from the nest? My name is Tianming, Tianming who fights for tomorrow."

"Okay, I mean, why do you care about me? And you also made this sign?" Yu Yifan was a little impatient. He didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.

"Don't leave, I'm doing this for your own good." When Tianming saw Yu Yifan was about to leave, he immediately tried to dissuade him.

"Then tell me, you're done..."

"You're not leaving?"

"No, I'll leave after that."

Tianming had no choice but to start threatening Yu Yifan: "Then let me tell you, the middle finger and the index finger are at war here. Whoever goes in will be a fool."

"Oh." Yu Yifan walked inside on his own.

"Hey, wait a minute." Tianming quickly stopped in front of Yu Yifan.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yifan pulled out the Blood Desire and looked like a fight: "Don't stop me, you know the rules of the back alley, right?"

Tian Ming was speechless. Does this person also know the rules of the back alley?

"Aren't you afraid of your index finger?"

"What? What's the matter with you? I'll go in if it's okay. Also, if you stop me again, I'll do it." Yu Yifan made a blood thirst gesture and signaled Tianming to step aside.

But even so, Tianming still didn't move an inch.

"Hey, we can only..." Seeing this, Yu Yifan directly raised his Blood Desire to greet Tianming.

Tianming had never been treated like this before. He immediately knelt down and hugged Yu Yifan's thigh: "No, brother, please be merciful. I have no choice but to do so."

"Instigated by others?" Yu Yifan realized something when he saw Tianming looking like he was about to die, "Who is it?"

Tianming's answer was just to keep nodding, but he didn't say anything more.

"But I just want to go in today..." At this time, Yu Yifan's stomach began to growl.

As a cook, he came to the Human Blood Hotel to work, so being stopped like this made him a little confused.

When Tianming saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Brother, you haven't eaten yet? I can invite you to a place to eat. It tastes absolutely delicious!"

After hearing this, Yu Yifan didn't want to embarrass Tianming. After hesitation, Tianming added: "I'm treating you."

"lead the way."

Thirty minutes later, Yu Yifan arrived at a restaurant called "Ham Bang Bang".

"Now, let me ask, why do you come to such a far place to eat? I have obviously passed by several restaurants." Yu Yifan asked while eating the food in the restaurant.

"Isn't this restaurant delicious..." Tianming was a little surprised by Yu Yifan's appetite and whispered: "Brother, has your stomach been transformed?"

"No, why do you say that? The stomach can also be modified? What's the use?" Yu Yifan didn't understand Tianming's question.

"Well, today's technology is nothing to transform the stomach. As for its use... maybe rich people know..." Tianming looked a little confused, but he obviously knew something.

"Now can you tell me why you don't let me in? What are your middle and index fingers?"

"What?" Tianming's expression was a bit exaggerated after hearing this.

"You don't know the middle finger and the index finger?"

Yu Yifan nodded and continued to cook.

"I'm afraid you don't even count the people in the nest... Wuzhi, you can basically be regarded as the manager of the back alleys. Most of the territory in the back alleys has been divided up by Five Fingers, but they also have some control over them.

Local residents are provided with corresponding 'protection'."

"Isn't that great?"

"There is no free lunch in the world. When I really understood this sentence... it was already too late."

"I am the resident protected by the index finger, but the condition is that I must complete the instructions given by them every day."

"It was okay at first, just waving at traffic lights or something, but later, I once saw someone poisoning other people's food and killing the person they loved most with their own hands..."

"Uh..." Yu Yifan couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in his hand when he heard this.

"Don't worry, this store is owned by Chef Bang Bang, and no one inside is protected by the index finger." Tianming couldn't help but explain when he saw Yu Yifan almost choked.

"What about you? Have you started killing people now?" After hearing this, Yu Yifan started to cook calmly again.

"What? Do you think it's so easy to kill someone? Although it's not surprising that a lot of people die every day in this world, as an ordinary person, it's still difficult to kill someone..."

"You have seen what I am doing now, but I think there will be a day sooner or later..."

"Have you ever thought about resisting?" Yu Yifan asked.

"Resist? Haha, no one can do this in the back alley, those agents, messengers... no one can escape the mountain of Five Fingers in the back alley..." Tianming said, his eyes were a little hollow here.

Yu Yifan didn't care about this. After eating, he just wiped his mouth and planned to leave: "I promise you not to go today, but I will definitely go tomorrow."

"Thank you for the meal. My name is Yu Yifan. If you have anything you can't solve in the future, please come to me."

"Where can I find you?" Tianming also seemed a little interested in Yu Yifan.

"Hmm..." Yu Yifan thought for a while and replied: "Money Office."

After eating and drinking, Yu Yifan found a hotel and had a good sleep. When the sun shined into the hotel window the next day, Yu Yifan also walked towards the entrance of Alley No. 23 in high spirits.

.

Arriving at Lane No. 23, this time, there was no sign blocking Yu Yifan's footsteps.

"It seems that he doesn't have this task today..." Before Yu Yifan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and then his consciousness gradually faded...

Finally, Yu Yifan vaguely saw several people holding sticks and weapons behind him, one of whom was Tianming.
