The abandoned house is not a house, but a place name in Yongxing City. It is located in the second district of Xiacheng, adjacent to the infamous Black Street, and the total area is about as big as a street.

Tailes once heard from the old man in the Brotherhood that the abandoned house was said to be the king of the Star Kingdom. It was funded and built a hundred years ago. It once had a relatively decent name (but no one remembers it anymore, only records it in the city hall). It also lived in the mediocre but bustling citizens of the kingdom capital.

I don’t know when the abandoned house became a place where contact negotiations between gangs and occasionally wars started.

So, the lively neighborhood housing house, accompanied by blood and knives and axes, became a deserted house with only stone walls, bricks and tiles.

It is said that the abandoned house was once regarded as a place to throw the body, so that today, children who grew up happily bathed in the sunshine of the capital will be warned like this: "If you are disobedient, I will send you to the abandoned house." The reputation of the abandoned house is second only to the terrible black street.

When the Black Street Brotherhood rose and seized the hegemony of the Underworld in the Lower City, the abandoned house was regarded as the base camp for beggar business in the Brotherhood City.

In order to facilitate management and prevent beggars from escaping at night, while laying out the corresponding thugs for each house, the brothers will chisel out trenches ten feet wide and fifteen feet deep on all sides of the abandoned house. The ditch is covered with sharpened wooden stakes and rust nails, leaving only a stone door that can be buckled with a large lock on the front of the abandoned house.

Rumor has it that after countless corpses and temptations, someone finally dug up a secret passage in the deep ditch and escaped. But at least in the four years that Tailes was in the abandoned house, no beggar could find the legendary secret passage. Instead, the corpses in the deep ditch increased year by year as the business of the Brotherhood expanded.

It is said that every year there are children with no eyes trying to escape across deep ditches, so the fraternity also cleans the bones in the ditch once a year.

As its name suggests, the abandoned house is composed of a long-destroyed stone house, with a total of twenty-three (there were more, some collapsed in the gang wars many years ago, and some were demolished by the Brotherhood to dig out the trenches). It is irregularly located behind the big stone door. Some stone houses are "living away from the crowd" and some are closer to each other.

A beggar who is lucky has the waste house assigned to has well water. If he is unlucky, such as the sixth house where Tailes is located, he can only fill the water tank with water from other houses - and this is usually not cost-free.

Water sources and food often cause struggles among beggars, such as the water tank in the sixth house, which is the second year after Tailes arrived at the abandoned house, and through various means, they reached an agreement with the seventeenth house next door, and fed water once a week.

Before, they - Ned and Coria had not arrived at that time, only Sinty, Ryan, Kelite and two other beggars who were no longer alive - even drinking water was a problem.

What Tailes and the others heard was the "head" of Diego in the next door. When he was fighting for water, he smashed a stone on Diego's head. At that time, his scream was similar to that now.

"Kara! Come! We don't have it! It's not us!"

Diego's screams seemed painful and panicked.

So much so that the beggars in the Sixth Room, including Tails, did not react for a while.

But after all, Tailes has the memory of his previous life. His first reaction was to drive everyone in the yard back to the hole in the house. For a long time afterward, Tailes regretted this decision and avoided it.

Tailes himself glanced at the inconspicuous stone slab in the corner of the house, hid under the wall opposite the seventeenth house, staring at a dog hole connecting the seventeenth house and the sixth house. This was a symbol of the alliance between the two houses.

"What's wrong with Diego and the others? Are you fighting?" Need asked curiously after hiding.

Beggars are not happy, and houses as harmonious as the Sixth House are not the majority in abandoned houses.

Many beggars' disability and even death, except Quaid, were actually caused by the beggars themselves. Children under ten years old did not know the seriousness of the attack. For example, one of the two roommates before Nied and Coria arrived, died like this.

But Seventeen House is also a minority in the abandoned house. Diego is a brown-skinned, small eyes, yellow hair, carefree but stubborn child. At the age of nine and a half, he seems to have a more leader-like temperament than Sinty and Thales. At least the beggars in Seventeen House listened to him, which also caused the battle between the Sixth House and the Seventeen House to go on a lot of twists and turns.

"It's not like a fight. Could it be that other houses are bullying Diego and the others? It must be Carac of the tenth house! He likes to bully other guys the most!" Keltic said hurriedly as if he had figured out something.

"Then we have to go and help quickly! We have agreed to them to help each other!"

The cripple Ryan was about to run out of the hole and drill into the dog hole when he heard this, but before the moonlight shone on half of his body, Ryan was dragged back by Tailes.

"Don't be anxious, it's not Carac! It's something else!" Tailes listened to the screams next door with a serious expression.

"No, Diego!"

With a dull sound, it seemed like a sandbag was thrown to the wall, but this time it was the cry of another child Ensora.

Tailes remembers this eight-year-old child. When he was fighting for water, Ensola pursed his lips tightly and stood beside Diego.

When the two sides started fighting, he hugged Xinti's thighs tightly and prevented him from getting close to the fight between Diego and Thales. If Thales hadn't attacked Diego's knee joint and quickly picked up a stone, I wouldn't know if there was a fixed amount of water to drink in the Sixth Room today.

"What's wrong!"

As the oldest child in the house, the doubts on Sinti's face gradually became solemn. As the beggar who cooperated with Thales the most pleasant and tacit understanding in the Sixth Room, Sinti's silence accounted for the majority, but whenever he spoke, it was either an important thing or a key word.

Soon, the doubts and solemnity on the children's faces turned into horror.

"Beg for mercy! Beg for mercy! Keep going! I like to hear you guys beg for mercy the most!"

A thick but crazy voice came from next door.

Every beggar in the abandoned house will not forget this sound. It is as terrifying to them as hell demons-at least the demons will not break the beggar's bones inch by inch, nor will it cut the beggar's face with one knife, nor will it soak the beggar's head down in the water tank, and it is called "to quench your thirst" (Is the devil really not? At least the beggar doesn't know).

It's Quaid.

Quaid Roda, the beggar leader of the Black Street Brotherhood, is also the beggar's nightmare and disaster star.

"No! Boss Quaid! We were wrong! We—aah—"

"See if you dare to speak nonsense! Do you dare to scold me behind your back! Damn it! Red-haired woman! Damn it! Bald head! Damn it! Yara Saritun! You all deserve to die!"

As Quaid cursed a little unconsciously, there were bursts of striking sounds next door, sometimes fists, sometimes stones, and sometimes human bodies colliding with the wall.

"Help! Help! Diego! Kara! Marita! You guys get up! Save me!"

"Run! Go to—uh—"

"Oh my God! Where is the guard! Where is Mr. Rick! Oh my God! He wants to kill us, he wants to kill us all--"

"No! No!"

The heart-wrenching cry also came out of more than one person's mouth. The abandoned house under the moonlight seemed thrilling in Tailes' eyes!

It took Tayles three seconds to realize what Quaid was doing.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at everyone in the sixth room. Ned and Coria were trembling in the hole in the wall. Ryan, who was about to rush out to help, was already shocked.

Kelite and Sinti were not much better. The former looked back and forth between the people with anxious and fear, trying to speak but unable to speak, while the latter was pale and staring at Tails.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Knock!"

"You damn scum! Even you dare to laugh at me! I laugh at the 'blood axe' Quid Roda! Even you dare to-"

"Haha, you guys scream! Why don't you scream? Call me!"

The crazy roar and painful howlings in my ears were parallel, accompanied by the sound of shattering that everyone was unwilling to think deeply.

Tailes knew that at this moment, panic had spread in the sixth room, and he was frantically circulating his brain and thinking about the current situation.

Quaid beat the beggar in the seventeenth room - no, listen to Quaid's appearance, the frequency and strength of his beating people, tonight is not just about venting anger!

Moreover, although Quaid was a bastard, he would not have all the beggars in the whole room at once. By the way, what about Rick? Where are the guards of the abandoned house and the patrol thugs? Through the stone wall, each room may not be able to hear each other, but the thugs walking on the road must be able to hear it!

Of course, Tailes would not know that the garrison of the Waste House was artificially reduced to two people tonight, and the two thugs would never come again.

"Tels, what-what should I do?" Listening to the tragedy next door, Xinti instinctively felt something was wrong. He had already sweated slightly on his pale face, and he just kept asking Taels.

"Quiet, no one is allowed to speak! We--" Tailes frowned and thought hard about countermeasures, but before he could finish his words, he saw a beggar's figure emerge from the dog hole between the sixth and seventeenth rooms.

Coria screamed in fear.

Tailes' eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that the bloody head of Ensola came from the seventeenth room.

But Ensola seemed to be about to collapse. Before Tayles could help him up, Ensola panted and threw herself to the ground, completely ignoring the blood on her head and face.

"Run! Run! Let's hurry-"

Tails and Sinti nervously helped him up, the howlings and roars in his ears remained the same, but Ensola seemed to have lost his mind and didn't speak no matter how he asked, but just muttered "Escape quickly" with a terrifying expression.

Until Tayles slapped him in the face.

"What the hell happened? Quaid came to vent his anger?"

Ensola's tears suddenly flowed.

"Qui-Qui-Qui-He's crazy! He wants - we're not the only ones, he's all going in one room by one, see-"

Ensola was already incoherent, but it was enough for the beggars in the Sixth Room to understand what was going on. The six little faces suddenly turned pale, and even Tails couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

"——When you see someone, you beat him, until he dies——I heard a crying sound, and went out to peek——So I saw Quaid dragging Larry in the third room, blood-blood--all-blood--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then--and-then---and-then-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He grabbed Kara and smashed it on the ground. Diego wanted to stop him-and then he punched hundreds of punches, Diego didn't move, and Marita, Quaid pushed him to the fire-woo--fire--"

Tayles felt his scalp numb.

It’s not that he has seen Quaid hit someone, but many times, he will be stopped by multiple thugs before his death. As for whether the beaten children will leave permanent disability, no one will care about this in the brotherhood.

"The third house is finished - it's over, and we're also - he's just hitting Midland - I don't know how many houses there are-"

However, before Ensola finished speaking, she was covered by Thales' mouth!

At this time, through Tailes' movements, everyone realized that the crying and roaring next door had disappeared, and the seventeenth room became quiet, as if several children were asleep.

Only a rude gasp was left, and it was still moving slowly.

No one doesn't know what this means.

In the sixth room, almost all the children began to tremble.

At that moment, Tailes turned his head suddenly and tried to lower his voice: "Listen, let's hurry--"

"Peng!"

There was a loud bang.

The door of the sixth room was kicked open.

At the door, Quaid's shaking figure slowly approached, and his fierce and grim face was looking at the trembling seven children.

"Run-where did you go? Hey, you are a little familiar-"

Everyone in the Sixth Room was stunned, and Tailes was no exception.

Quaid rubbed his nose and Tyles saw a bright red color on his face, which was the color of drunkenness.
