Chapter 2006: Change Your Image

"Alright, I'll listen to you on how to tone it down," Xueli nodded.

Chen Yu was right; the aura on her was too heavy, and any discerning person could tell at a glance that she was from the Pope.

Because that aura of being untainted by the world on her was too strong; in this country, only women who walked out of the Pope would have that kind of aura.

"Change your clothes, get a wavy perm, wear some jewelry, and carry a designer bag; that way, people will take you for a wealthy lady," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Is this... really going to work?" Xueli's gaze paused slightly; she had always worn flowing long dresses and had never dressed so mundanely before.

"Don't worry, it will work," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "You should also try to change yourself and attempt a different style."

"Alright, I'll listen to you," Xueli thought about it seriously, then nodded slightly.

By evening, Xueli had finally finished dressing and walked out.

The moment she walked out, Chen Yu was slightly stunned, and his eyes gradually lit up.

Xueli had changed out of her holy, spotless long dress, shedding that aura of being untainted by the world.

Moreover, the touch of worldliness about her made her appear more approachable.

Her current attire and appearance were like those of a wealthy lady, completely changing her previous image.

"Do I look very strange like this?" Xueli asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"No, not strange at all. You have a bit more of a worldly aura now, and you look more approachable," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "I think you look quite good like this, unlike before, when you had that 'keep people at a distance' look."

"Was I really that cold and aloof before?" Xueli glanced at Chen Yu, feeling a bit displeased.

"It wasn't cold and aloof, just a different image," Chen Yu said with a smile. "You look good no matter what."

"Really?" Xueli immediately became happy again.

"Really, I never lie," Chen Yu nodded and said. "If you go out like this, people at the trading market won't easily recognize you."

"Then I can rest easy," Xueli let out a long sigh. "Sometimes our identity as part of the Pope really is an obstacle."

"It's not an obstacle. Are you ready? If you're ready, we can set off now," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"I'm ready," Xueli spun around and walked a few steps to get a feel for it.

"Alright, Andelie, take us to District 12," Chen Yu said.

A car took Chen Yu and Xueli to District 12, but the car stopped just before reaching the district.

To avoid attracting attention, they walked the rest of the way after getting out of the car.

At the dilapidated street entrance of District 12, there was a trench on each side.

And inside the trenches, two machine guns were mounted.

In the Western World, there are always places where the law cannot reach, and District 12 was a dark corner that the law could not touch.

After Chen Yu verified his identity, he walked in with Xueli.

The two of them had identities that Andelie had prepared in advance, and the verification of identities in the district was not very strict; the guards at the entrance just took one look and let them in.

Before letting them pass, they only said one sentence: "Don't cause trouble in here."

The two walked into the district, and as soon as they entered, they felt an incomparable sense of oppression.

There were people standing in twos and threes on the street corners, smoking cigarettes or various kinds of marijuana.

Moreover, most of them were holding guns, and even more were scantily clad women walking through every street corner.

This place was filled with drugs, crime, and pornography, known as a place abandoned by God.

Chen Yu and Xueli walking through here drew curious gazes from many people.

After all, Chen Yu had an Eastern face, and no matter how dazzling Xueli was beside him, they could not avoid being watched by these people.

"These people seem to be looking at you," Xueli glanced at Chen Yu. "Strange, is there a flower on your face?"

"There is no flower on my face, but I have an Eastern face, so it's normal for these people to look at me," Chen Yu said helplessly.

"Haha, the probability of an Easterner appearing in this place is too low," Xueli smiled slightly. "So you're quite the scene-stealer."

"Some people have probably already targeted us," Chen Yu said. "This place is known as a place abandoned by God; it seems that's not false at all."

"Many people here have a very heavy baleful aura; because they have killed many people, their baleful aura is heavy," Chen Yu said, looking at the people in the alleys they passed.

These people looked different, but they all had one thing in common: the baleful aura on them was too heavy.

There was still some time before the auction, so the two wandered aimlessly through the district.

"If we wander aimlessly like this, we will definitely attract attention," Chen Yu said. "Look, we already have scouts tailing us behind us."

"Scouts? What scouts?" Xueli didn't understand these terms at all, and she asked with a puzzled look.

"It means a tail; someone is watching us. After all, to the people here, we are currently unknown entities."

Chen Yu said, "Although this district is very chaotic, there must be a ruler here who manages the order of this place."

"And to these rulers, this place is their territory, and as outsiders entering their territory, they will definitely keep us under strict control."

"A ruler? The ruler of this district has never shown their face, but they handle all matters, big and small."

Xueli said, "People from the Pope only know that they are called the City Lord; that is the only information we have."

"To be able to rule this place abandoned by God, the identity of the ruler must not be simple," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "But they also face all kinds of dangers, such as assassinations."

"So it's normal for them not to show their face, but it doesn't matter. We can make them show their face; as long as we deal with them, our mission this time can be foolproof."

"But the problem is, how can we see them?" Xueli raised a question about this.

"That depends on fate. Let's go, let's go to some interesting places to play; otherwise, if we just wander around here, we will definitely attract attention," Chen Yu said.

"Alright, I'll listen to you on everything," Xueli took Chen Yu's arm and said naturally.

The Dark Night Tavern; this place is different from other bars.

Because its business hours are 24 hours a day, no matter when you come, there will be people in the bar.

It's just that the drinks here are not so easy to drink, and this place doesn't accept money, only things the tavern deems valuable.
