Chapter 219: When Poor, Keep to Yourself; When Successful, Benefit the World

This was the seventh day since Liu Jianming and the others set off. It was an ordinary night. No one walked in from the apartment's entrance again. Clearly, this time, the ten-person team was completely wiped out.

Crackling sounds came from the fire basin, sparks constantly jumping in mid-air. In the first-floor lobby, some yellow long banners were hanging, on which were some traces written with cinnabar by a brush.

The scene was solemn. Some residents who had accepted reality held paper money made of yellow paper, queuing in front of the fire basin, mourning their departed neighbors and also dispelling the strange emotions in their own hearts.

Johnson came to the fire basin, threw the resume in his hand and the reply from the police station into the fire basin, and watched the paper curl and burn under the licking of the flames. Johnson sighed.

A moment later, after everyone had finished paying their respects, Johnson turned and walked towards the elevator going up.

When the elevator door closed, a hand reached into the middle of the elevator door, forcing the elevator door to open again. Immediately after, Constantine walked in.

"Everyone is already living very hard, but there are always some guys who like to kick someone when they are down. I hate this kind of person very much, very much." Constantine stood beside Johnson and said.

"I hate it too." Johnson said calmly. He knew who Constantine was.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Basachang, do you know who that damn zombie is?" As Constantine spoke, the elevator had reached the floor, but Constantine leaned his back against the elevator door, letting the elevator door stay on this floor.

"Who he is, I don't know, but who the zombie is, I know." Johnson considered for two seconds and decided to say some things.

A gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do. Throwing everything else behind just for promotion is not Johnson's character. Moreover, Johnson felt that the zombie might have something to do with him. In a sense, he had to take some responsibility for the death of Liu Jianming and the others.

"Who is it?"

"Ren Cai." As Johnson spoke, he took out a list he had already written from his pocket and handed it to Constantine. "Everything I know is written on it. I originally planned to find a time to chat with you all, but now it's just right. You just tell them these things first."

"No need to go to such trouble." Constantine smiled inexplicably, and the atmosphere eased a lot. He didn't go to take the list in Johnson's hand. "It just so happens that everyone is in my room. Shall we go sit together?"

"That's fine. Let's go." Johnson completely let go. At most, the effect of this performance would be a bit poor. If he could kill that zombie who was clearly here to provoke, it would actually be worth it.

In Constantine's room, Lao Die was making hot pot. Special spicy oil was churning in the pot. Everyone had been tossing and turning all day and hadn't eaten much.

"Sit wherever you want." Constantine pushed the door open and greeted Johnson, then walked to the kitchen and brought out the prepared materials. Connors was preparing some other ingredients.

A moment later, Lin Zhengying also arrived in the room.

Beside the hot pot, the only one who didn't understand what was going on at all was Zhang Wei. However, free hot pot was irresistible to Zhang Wei.

As for the sadness of teammates' sacrifice, after staying here for a long time, everyone had gradually gotten used to it. What's more, on the third day after Liu Jianming left, when that call got through, everyone already had psychological preparation.

"Come, come, come, make way, the stuff is here." Connors brought a plate of freshly sliced meat and put it on the table.

"Ooh, sliced so thin. Looking at this meat quality, it shouldn't be cheap." Zhang Wei moved his chopsticks first and drove half a plate of meat into the pot.

After adding a spoonful of spicy soup to the dipping sauce, Zhang Wei stirred the dipping sauce with chopsticks while looking at the others who hadn't moved their chopsticks. "Eh? You guys move your chopsticks. I won't be polite."

Johnson picked up his chopsticks. Although he didn't use chopsticks very often, the super physical control ability brought by the Clown made him not feel unfamiliar at all. "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. Just smelling this taste, I know this soup base is good."

The scene slowly returned to normal. Zhang Wei was panting with his mouth open because of the chili. When the first plate of meat hit the bottom, Constantine took the initiative to start the topic. "Basachang, you've been here for so long, we still don't know what kind of business you used to do?"

"Mainly doing some jewelry trading business." Johnson followed the topic Constantine started and continued to chat.

"Now the economy is going down, business is not easy to do, eh, speaking of which, when I was a lawyer for people before, I came into contact with some bosses. They were much more arrogant than you. There is a kind of condescension of the rich towards the poor."

Zhang Wei really started chatting. Constantine was also happy to see this situation. Although he didn't know why Basachang wanted to wear this identity and do what this identity should do, this didn't prevent him from cooperating a little bit. After all, Johnson was also quite cooperative with him.

"There are indeed such people, but actually most people are still quite normal." Johnson said, feeling that the potion was accelerating digestion, but the speed was not fast. The feedback of the performance was still a bit worse than before.

"That's true. I once met a very kind rich man who pursued a friend of mine. We all called him Young Master Chen at that time. Guess why he and my friend broke up?" Zhang Wei said mysteriously.

After everyone else shook their heads, Zhang Wei smiled hee-hee. "They once had a disagreement about whether 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' or 'A Simple Noodle Story' was the worst movie, and then they had a disagreement. They used countless ways from arm wrestling to rock-paper-scissors to resolve the disagreement. However, Yi Fei, that is my friend, won all of them, but Young Master Chen still held a different opinion. The two of them broke up peacefully later."

"This person is quite interesting. If there is a chance, I really want to see him." Johnson laughed.

"Yeah, but there are not many such interesting rich people. When I opened the righteous village before, I saw too many guys who were rich and unkind. Things like forcibly grabbing other people's graves left for themselves were all done. However, later, that rich man suffered a great disaster because of that matter." Lin Zhengying interjected from the side.

Zhang Wei blinked. Why did Daoist Lin say this? It felt a bit like pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust.

"Capital came into this world, flowing with dirty blood from head to toe." Connors suddenly said.

The scene suddenly became a bit strange. Zhang Wei hurriedly smoothed things over. "Let's change the topic. Let me tell you, I have a friend who is a super chef in Japan, but he is also a good hand at making hot pot. It's a pity I don't remember his recipe, otherwise I would definitely tell you."

Johnson smiled. As for the thorns in Connors and their words, he didn't care. During that period just now, the digestion speed of the potion obviously accelerated. It seems that Constantine only told Lin Zhengying and the others some guesses and didn't explain things thoroughly.

"It is a bit of a pity. Zhang Wei, why don't you tell us the story of you being a lawyer before?" Johnson looked at Zhang Wei and said.

【Ten-year-old book friends recommend a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It's really damn easy to use, driving, before going to bed, all rely on this reading to pass the time, you can download it here. Wild Fruit Reading】

Zhang Wei was slightly embarrassed. "Actually, my record as a lawyer is really not very good."

"Defending a death penalty case and losing, turning a two-million fine into life imprisonment, in short, the record is quite shameful."

"Your side is a bit strange. In Lao Die's impression, generally, sentencing will only be reduced, not increased, right?" Lao Die was drinking coffee. He didn't have a big appetite and was already five-tenths full now.

"What you said is that you are dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment. During the second instance, in most cases, the worst is to maintain the original judgment. That is to protect the legitimate rights of the defendant. Otherwise, the second instance can increase the sentence at will, which limits the defendant's willingness to continue to appeal."

Zhang Wei said with a strange expression. "Actually, I feel that my luck is a bit problematic. My clients all have some problems, inexplicably exposing more criminal facts. Once, they almost sent me in too."

"However, I did win once. It was legal aid, helping Seventh Master get his house back. It was quite difficult. Thinking about it, it was really a bit absurd at the time, winning a lawsuit where I overslept for the court session."

"At that time, it was really quite good. Although it was a bit poor, everything was fine."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei sighed. Even if he was poor, it was better than being in this ghost place.

Seeing this, Johnson took out the list and handed it directly to Lao Die who was sitting next to him.

Lao Die took it and scanned it roughly, then looked at Johnson in surprise. So honest?

The paper not only contained the information about other character cards Johnson knew, but Johnson also wrote down the identity of Basachang he was currently using.

After half a circle, Lin Zhengying and the others had all seen it, and the scene was a bit strange.

Johnson sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the effect of the performance was significantly worse. The effect that ordinary people could provide was still much worse than Lin Zhengying and the others.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Wei was a bit curious.

The list fell into Zhang Wei's hands. Just looking at the beginning, his chopsticks fell onto the table with a plop.

Lv Ziqiao... Lv Xiaobu... How long had it been since he saw this name.

Zhang Wei's emotions fluctuated greatly in a short period of time, but soon he suppressed this emotion. After staying in the Hell Apartment for so long, Zhang Wei had also practiced it.

"Basa... um... what does this mean?" Zhang Wei didn't know how to address Johnson for a moment. After all, the identity of Basachang should be fake.

"All the information about the character cards I know is here. The zombie character card that fell that day should be Ren Cai." Johnson continued to pick up meat.

"The founder of Ren Family Town, Master Ren's grandfather, is really... things are unpredictable. I didn't expect to see his name here too." Lin Zhengying shook his head. The Ren family was the one he just mentioned who grabbed someone's grave and finally suffered retribution.

Lao Die touched the talisman on his wrist silently. After seeing the list, he also recalled who Basachang was. He was indeed a big rich man. He had seen him many times on TV, and the other party had even come to his shop to buy antiques.

"I know Johnson. He is a superhero on our side, but... he shouldn't be dead... even if he died, he wouldn't die in this world..." Connors said a bit uncertainly.

"Chen Yongren's identity card is with me." Constantine added.

Seeing that everyone didn't go to poke Johnson's identity, Zhang Wei also reacted. "Lv Ziqiao, my friend. Lv Xiaobu is a fake name of his. He always said that he was Lv Bu in the Three Kingdoms. I didn't expect it to come true."

"The problem now is who is holding Ren Cai's identity. In addition, how to solve him? Having a character card is equivalent to having an extra life." Constantine said.

"Leave Ren Cai's problem to me. Maoshan has some connection with the Exorcist Ma Family. I will send him to rebirth." Lin Zhengying said very seriously.

Lin Zhengying had always been a person who hated evil as a foe. What's more, fighting zombies was his duty, and now it was even more incumbent.

"Who is holding that card, I will try to find out. When the time comes, I hope Hell will receive this sinful soul." Constantine followed closely.

"As for other characters, leave Lv Ziqiao to Lao Die to handle." Lao Die pushed his glasses and smiled.

Invincible in a one-on-one, you are invincible, anyway, I won't die.

"Count me in. Maybe I can turn him back. Ziqiao has always been very loyal." Zhang Wei said from the side.

Connors turned the chopsticks in his hand. According to this situation, Johnson should be handed over to him, but he was completely unfamiliar with Johnson. Diviner... can predict the future, how to fight?

"If Johnson's character appears, I will solve it. I have some confidence in dealing with a Diviner." Johnson said. Fighting the original version against the pirated version, Li Kui fighting Li Gui, should have some advantages, right?

As soon as the words were spoken, Johnson realized that the potion in his body digested a section at once. He was a bit surprised in his heart. Which point did he touch? Wasn't he already exposed? How did the progress jump up a section?

Beside, Constantine guessed Johnson's identity in his heart. Have experience in dealing with Johnson? Someone from the Secret Prayer Church? Is he the target?

Not right. The people in the Secret Prayer Church are basically lunatics, and he doesn't look like one. Moreover, his appearance is not high enough, which does not meet the recruitment standards of the Secret Prayer Church.

"Wait, I have a question. How do we find Ren Cai?" Zhang Wei raised his hand and asked.

"I can collect some information through my subordinates. As long as he is in this city, he can't escape my eyes and ears." Johnson continued to maintain the persona of Basachang.

The current situation is a bit strange. Everyone knows that Johnson is not Basachang, but no one knows who Johnson is.

No one took the initiative to ask about this matter either. After all, the sincerity Johnson showed was enough. Since they wanted to cooperate, they shouldn't think about stripping away people's secrets. Who among those present didn't have some secrets that only one person knew?

"I plan to go undercover in the strange tale directly. They are everywhere, and they should be able to help us get the first move." Constantine said. The strange tale effect of Chen Yongren's character card was still very strong.

"Okay, today's matter will stay in this room. They just need to protect themselves well. Let us handle these things." Lin Zhengying said. The "they" referred to the other residents in the apartment.

"I have no opinion. The director of my orphanage said that when poor, keep to yourself; when successful, benefit the world. Anyway, I can't just let it go." Zhang Wei followed closely. ===== CHAPTER 220 =====
