Chapter 250 Not a destined encounter

"Damn it, you're an undercooked beast that eats me and drinks me. You won't recognize me when you get ashore."

Although Chen Yan cursed like this, he did not feel any resentment towards the white cat in his heart.

He thought to himself, it's just a beast. I tortured it so much on the boat, and it was normal for it to come ashore and escape from me.

Besides, why should I argue with a beast?

On the contrary, he was a little worried about the white cat.

He vaguely "remembered" that the material resources of the empire in this era were still relatively scarce, and the hunting of cats and dogs in the city had never stopped. Dried cat meat could even be sold at a good price in the market.

If a white cat is caught by a very hungry person...

"Huh? How do I know this? Isn't this my first time in the empire?"

Chen Yan couldn't figure it out and simply didn't think about it.

"The road is heading toward the sky. Let's each go to one side and wish ourselves good luck."

He looked at the busy Wharf Street and felt the cold raindrops falling on his head. He knew in his heart that it was going to rain, so he picked up his suitcase and walked through the cinder-paved street to the eaves of a building across the street.

Down.

As soon as he stood up, the rain began to fall.

No matter what, get out of this rain first and then look for a place to stay.

When Chen Yan was on the ship, he met an old gangster called Lu Ke, and learned from the chat with him that the empire's society has been very chaotic in recent years, especially since the beginning of industrialization and the large number of new immigrants settling in, the original social order has almost disappeared.

No existence.

Housing prices in cities have skyrocketed due to the influx of population. If you want to save money and live in a safe neighborhood, there is no such good thing.

Chen Yan rubbed his frozen face and remembered the "Byron Weiss Zoo Employment Notice" in his suitcase, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

When the ferry was about to dock, he spent a lot of money to borrow the telegraph machine on the ship and sent out his resume to various companies in the empire.

After dozens of resumes fell into the sea, the light finally appeared——

A zoo owned by a listed company actually sent him a job invitation!

This means that as long as he works hard and does not need to rest on his laurels, he can survive in the empire!

And now...

Now, he needs to escape the rain first.

It was almost winter in the empire, and the mist that filled the city was also tainted with the coldness of winter. Chen Yan was only wearing an autumn suit. The mist, which had become even colder due to the rain, penetrated into his chest along his collar, freezing him.

Shivering.

"Little brother, do you need a rest?"

A girl with heavy makeup came to strike up a conversation. Chen Yan subconsciously glanced at her cool outfit, shook his head and rejected her suggestion with a smile.

A rickshaw driver wearing an umbrella hat came up to him and asked if he needed a ride, but the accent from a remote area of ​​the empire was so strong that Chen Yan couldn't even understand a single word.

In order to avoid being dragged into a dark corner, Chen Yan still smiled and shook his head.

The cute little girl with a sales basket tied to her chest came to him and exchanged her pitiful gesture for his sympathy. After he refused the hot dogs for a penny, she showed a look of disgust and cursed some low-level people in the empire.

Chen Yan couldn't understand the strange phrases made up by people just to yell at each other.

"This is the fucking empire..."

Chen Yan felt a little cold inside.

"It's different from what I imagined..."

Various faces were coming and going on the street in front of him. Although there were Asians among them, Chen Yan could hardly find faces similar to his own amid the dense crowd.

Being unfamiliar with this place, Chen Yan felt a huge sense of alienation in his heart, and a thought that had already occurred in his mind quickly fermented:

This is no longer my hometown.

This thought fermented into loneliness, confusion, and an indescribable sense of loss, which in turn made him feel inexplicably melancholy.

"A stranger in a foreign land..."

Chen Yan's melancholy mood lasted until a yellow face hurried past him.

Chen Yan looked up at him, and he turned to look at Chen Yan telepathically.

The two people's eyes met, and the man raised his eyebrows.

"Hey! Are you from the mainland?"

Although Chen Yan didn't understand, he was still very excited.

"Ah! Me, me, me! Uncle! I'm going to the city!"

The middle-aged Asian man in a black suit grinned.

When he spoke again, he had already changed his words into words that Chen Yan could understand.

"Good boy, you're lucky to have met me! I'm an immigration agent. If you're not afraid of being cheated, come with me!"

He waved to the other side of the pier, and a rickshaw puller came running over.

He got into the car and motioned for Chen Yan to sit next to him.

Chen Yan thought for a while and realized that he might have to pay some price for the information gap caused by unfamiliarity with the place he was born in.

So he got in the car.

The middle-aged Asian man in a black suit smiled knowingly.

"Everyone calls me Uncle San on the street. Young man, I have an apartment in my hands. It's in a good location, good quality and cheap, but it's a bit old. Do you want to invest in it?"

…

Desire's vision begins to blur.

She only saw that after the third uncle said that, Chen Yan nodded hesitantly.

'The next thing is what happens after he enters the empire.'

Before the vision in front of him completely disappeared, Desire looked to the other side of the pier.

In the pouring rain, a heavy black carriage that looked like a cleaning truck in a zoo was quietly stopping in the middle of the street.

The carriage that can accommodate six people sitting across from each other is obviously very large, but the pedestrians passing by turn a blind eye to it. Even if they are about to collide, they will unconsciously change direction. In this way, the cleaning vehicle and the people around it will A small part of the space is almost a vacuum.

'That car can only be seen with psychic vision.'

'Spiritual vision... is actually not a very special thing. It's just that the gods of this world have made rules. If you want to get in touch with the deeper things in this world, you must act according to those rules - and [Spiritual Vision] is It's a kind of rule.'

There was a dull sound of "bang bang" in the carriage, which was the sound caused by the little white tiger hitting the carriage.

Xishui looked at himself in the carriage exuding "extreme fear", and his heart gradually sank.

'At that time, I had just woken up in the body of stupid tiger, and I didn't know that William Mast had so many tricks.'

'I just thought that when I got on the carriage, I would be able to meet William Master, and then with his help, I would have a normal life and experience everything in the world...'

'But from the moment the carriage door closed, I was cut off from the rest of the world.'

Wishes looked at the heavy carriage carriage, and memories of the past emerged in his heart.

'At that time... I only remember that when the carriage door was closed, the space inside the carriage and the space outside the carriage became two completely different worlds.'

'The world inside the carriage is cold and gloomy, like an independent [soul cage], like... the zoo itself.'

'But it's not the same as a normal zoo.'

’ On the surface, the zoo looks like a normal animal breeding institution, but that is just the appearance seen by [the naked eye].”
