Chapter 3458: Untitled
All in all, it was a city that was born for boxing and fighting, just like all the towns in the world of the Fist God.
On the street, several priests of the Temple of Fist, who had tattoos all over their bodies and did not even let go of their shiny faces, walked by solemnly.
Gus and Grey hurried to hide in a corner. They felt that the ball of steam in the basket had become extremely heavy and hot.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the two siblings started searching along the wall.
In the notes that his father left, he had recorded the secret code to communicate with the believers of steam.
In Heavenly Essence City, which was the closest city to Red Gold Town in the north, there was a large altar made of machines and steams. It was sort of their headquarters within a thousand square kilometers. His father had been to the place many times and participated in the activities of machines and steams. He had collected a lot of materials from the place before he was allowed to build his own underground laboratory in Red Gold Town.
According to the notes, the two siblings soon found the secret code on the greasy wall of the living area where the restaurants gathered.
It was an irregular circle with a few streaks representing flames inside. The strokes were clumsy, like the graffiti of a child. One wouldn’t notice it if they weren’t paying close attention. Even if they did, they wouldn’t understand what it meant.
But Gus and Grey knew that the circle represented the steam engine, and the flames naturally represented the source of power inside the steam engine.
Therefore, while Gus was on a lookout, Grey picked up a stone and added a few curves that represented steam to the pattern. One of the curves was particularly long and pointed to the left.
Then, Gus and Grey walked to the left side of the pattern and sat down, pretending that they were tired of selling goods in the city and were resting.
According to the description in his father’s notes, there were always people from the Mechanical Sect and the Steam Church monitoring the secret code. Very soon, they would discover that the pattern had been added.
Then, he would be able to find them by tracing the longest line of steam.
Gus and Grey both narrowed their eyes and looked around. They did not know which of the people on the street were monitoring and meeting each other.
The waiter of the restaurant across the street was shouting loudly. The owner of the weapon store next to the restaurant was hitting the blades and shields with “ding ding ding dang dang” sounds. Next to the restaurant was a medical center for the relaxation of muscles and nerves, for the massage, for the treatment of sabers and axes, for the mauling of wild animals. On this side of the road, a few children were playing wrestling with “ping dang dang dang dang” sounds. They were looking at everyone with suspicion, but upon closer inspection, it didn’t seem very likely.
At this moment, one of the kids who was wrestling, who was relatively thin and had dry hair, was knocked down by his companion again. His face was swollen, and he couldn’t help but cry.
Other children burst into laughter and flaunted their power without the slightest bit of sympathy. The strong preyed on the weak. The winner was king. This was a principle that all the children of the World of the Fist God understood.
The thin child with dry hair flew into a rage out of humiliation. He got up and ran away without looking back. In his anger, he stopped playing with his companions. Instead, he ran far away to Gus and Grey’s side and sat down.
The Gus siblings were waiting for their contact. Naturally, they did not want a child to ruin their plan.
However, when they were about to drive the yellow-haired child away, the child, who seemed to be crying silently, suddenly squeaked.
The cry was very soft. For those who did not know what was going on, it sounded no different from a normal cry.
But when Gus and Grey heard it, they were stunned and could not believe their ears.
The yellow-haired child was simulating the sound of boiling water.
In the legends, the predecessors of the School of Mechanical and Steam grasped the most profound truths from the boiling hot water.
“Squeak squeak, squeak squeak!” the yellow-haired child continued screaming.
“Wu…” Gus tried to imitate the steam whistle and replied.
In the ears of passers-by, the sounds they made were meaningless.
Even if they were discovered, there was no proof that they were shouting heretical slogans.
Only the two of them knew that the secret code matched.
The yellow-haired child was still holding his head in his hands. His shoulders were shaking as if he was crying.
But he moved his butt closer to Gus and said in a low voice, “The third shop on the left, ‘Li’s Beef Soup’. Go inside and tell the waiter that you want two bowls of beef noodles, coarse noodles, green noodles, and spicy noodles. Lie down with two eggs and cut off a plate of beef tongue. The waiter will say, ‘No beef tongue’. Just say, cut off a plate of beef tripe. That’s all.”
After saying that, the yellow-haired kid walked away as if he didn’t know the two siblings at all.
Gus and Grey looked at each other in disbelief.
He raised his head and looked at the restaurant in front of him. There was indeed a ‘Li’s Beef Soup’ there.
It was not dinner time yet, so the restaurant was as lively as before. It seemed that the restaurant’s food was not bad, which was why there were so many customers.
Even the chimney of the kitchen was smoking day and night.
Gus and Grey walked in and were pushed into a corner. They waited for a long time before a waiter came up to greet them.
The two followed the child’s instructions and told the shop assistant word for word. The shop assistant shouted loudly and really served them two bowls of green and spicy noodles. Below the noodles, there was a sunny side up egg as well as a plate of beef tripe.
The two of them looked at each other in dismay. However, the beef noodles here were indeed not bad. The soup was thick, the noodles were strong, and the eggs were still flowing with sugar. The two of them had been fleeing in the forest in the pouring rain for several days. They had been living in the wind and sleeping in the wilderness for a long time, and they had been suffering for a long time. Therefore, they immediately started wolfing down the food and burped.
At this time, the shop assistant came up as if nothing had happened and asked the two to pay the bill.
The two siblings were baffled. They stared at the worker for a long time, wondering what was going on. Was he really here for dinner?
After paying the bill in confusion, they were about to go out and ask the yellow-haired child when a kind-looking middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked up and asked them what was in the basket on their back.
The two siblings looked at each other and said that they were wild chickens and ducks that had just been brought back from the mountains.
The shopkeeper said that he needed to buy a few chickens and ducks from the shop to make soup. He invited them to the kitchen to check whether the chickens and ducks were fresh or not. As long as the food was good, the price was negotiable.
Gus thought of something. He pulled Grey and followed the manager to the kitchen.
Sure enough, after passing through the smoke-filled kitchen, several fierce-looking, murderous-looking muscular men came close.
“Did you draw the pictures on the wall?”
A fat chef wearing a greasy apron said coldly, “How do you know the pattern? What are you doing here?”
“We saw the pattern in Dad’s notes.
Gus made up his mind and said, “We are here for Luo Xinglong, Uncle Luo!”
Luo Xinglong was ‘Glen’, the father of the two siblings, the heavily wounded believer of machinery and steam that he had met near Red Gold Town.
He was also the guide for the boxing genius, Glen, to embark on the demonic path.
