Old Factory Street under the cover of night.

The stoves at the street food stalls are blazing, the spatulas are clattering, and the smoke is curling up.

Batteries and cars were passing by, and horns were blaring one after another.

Many migrant workers who went back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year have returned to Eastern Capital one after another, restoring vitality to this dilapidated Street.

It also includes some active members of organizations who are not doing their jobs properly.

These people were in groups of twos and threes, hugging each other, laughing and playing, and a few vulgar words came out of their mouths from time to time.

Occasionally, if they disagree, they will grab a bench from a roadside food stall and rush towards the other party, causing a scuffle and attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Lin Fusheng Bone Setting Clinic.

Warm yellow light shines from the Glass door, and there is also a burst of noise.

A man wearing Gray Trench Coat and glasses walked through the bustling crowd outside and pushed in through the door.

A pungent smell of Medicinal Liquor hit my face immediately.

I saw many gangsters with bruises and swollen faces gathered here, waiting for medical treatment, making the already not spacious space look even more cramped.

A cursory glance revealed that most of them were minor injuries such as dislocated joints. A few unlucky ones had stab wounds and had already been bandaged.

Master Lin, wearing reading glasses, dipped his fingers in Medicinal Liquor, and was patiently applying it to an injured person, massaging Tui Na with skillful techniques, and occasionally whispering a few precautions.

A young woman in her thirties, with a graceful but capable figure, and a smart and cute little girl, were busy pouring tea and water for the guests and looking around enthusiastically.

There is also a handsome and elegant young man in plain clothes standing in front of the diagnosis and treatment bed, concentrating on doing Bone-Setting Procedure for the patient.

Although it seems like a chaotic scene, they make it look like a pure land in the hustle and bustle of the world.

The man's face was calm. After looking around, he chose a seat near the door, sat down quietly and waited.

His entry did not attract much attention.

There were still shouts and noises all around, talking about certain topics that were taboo for ordinary people.

"Hey, what do you guys know?"

A gangster suddenly raised the volume to break the noisy atmosphere.

He sat slantedly on the edge of the bed, holding a Cigarette in his mouth that was so burned that only his butt was left:

"Why is Jiangbei in chaos recently? It's not because a mysterious and ruthless character appears here. He disturbed the grandsons of Red Tiger Gang and East City Association, causing heavy casualties. They all ran away in despair."

"Now that there is no big Gang town, the gangsters from other districts are running here like headless chickens, grabbing territory everywhere, and fighting for a small profit. I don't think the streets and alleys have been able to live in peace in the past six months."

He spoke with an authentic local accent, hissing and gasping as he spoke.

The jacket on his body was covered in dust and blood, and his face was bruised and bruised.

In the middle of his words, he talked about the Underworld fight in a nonchalant manner, as if he had not participated at all.

"Is that Assassin really so powerful that he can turn those big Gang upside down by just one person?"

A gangster with a foreign accent couldn't help but interrupt and asked, obviously his curiosity was aroused.

"Hehe, of course, he is a well-known hero in our Jiangbei area. He will kill anyone who dares to cause trouble here!"

The cigarette-smoking gangster gave a thumbs up, his face filled with an indescribable sense of pride, as if he had some great connection with this Assassin.

"Let's just talk about Red Tiger Gang, those little bastards. They usually cost as much as 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan. They receive protection fees softly. They walk with a wind in their eyes. They can't let anyone go."

"As a result, several of their Hall bosses fell into the hands of that Assassin. Their bodies were thrown on the street like broken sacks, with their intestines dripping all over the ground. That scene, tsk tsk tsk, the smell of blood can make people vomit out their overnight meal!"

Having said this, he paused, took a long puff of cigarette, and his eyes showed a bit of warning.

"So, I kindly remind you to calm down."

"As the saying goes, you must not be too arrogant when you are on Underworld, otherwise you will be treated like a little chicken and your head will be wrenched off, and you will have no place to cry!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck and glanced fiercely at the faces of the group of gangsters.

Looking at everyone with fearful expressions on their faces, the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, and they nodded with satisfaction.

With that look, it seemed that he was a senior boss on the Jiangbei road and was imparting Underworld experience.

Others' eyes were as wide as bells, their mouths were so wide open that their saliva almost flowed out:

"Is it really so evil? Brother, don't talk about trains. Have you really seen it with your own eyes?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

When the cigarette-smoking gangster heard this, he puffed out his cigarette butt like a firecracker being lit.

Then he patted his chest with his uninjured hand, trying to straighten his waist to show his authority, but he pulled the wound and grimaced in pain:

"Just a few nights ago, I was wandering around the corner of West Street, and I saw a black shadow flash past at a speed like a ghost. My eyes could hardly keep up."

"I was immediately curious, so I followed behind secretly. Not far away, I saw a group of Red Tiger Gang masters surrounding a person. I thought to myself, this is going to be a good show."

"The result was that in the blink of an eye, that man was like a god. With three punches and two kicks, he beat those brats to pieces and turned them into a ball of meat. That skill was amazing! I was almost dumbfounded..."

The cigarette-smoking gangster talked more and more vigorously, waving his hands in the air and making famous gestures, completely forgetting that the other arm was still in someone else's hand Bone Setting.

He hissed in pain, then suddenly came back to his senses, grinning and muttered:

"Ouch, Brother Cheng, please be gentle, it hurts so much!"

Just now he looked like a daring Underworld gangster, but now he suddenly looked like a delicate little girl.

His voice was high-pitched and thin, with a hint of coquettishness, and he was completely different from before.

When Leng Buding heard this greasy tone, Fang Cheng moved his hands, raised his eyes and glanced at him, his face full of disgust and speechlessness.

"Be patient and don't move any more, otherwise I will cripple you. Don't blame me."

When the gangsters nearby saw this, they burst into laughter:

"Brother Fei, Fang Master's Miraculous Hand of Rejuvenation is much gentler than that Assassin, so please stop howling."

This guy ran away to the countryside two months ago to avoid the limelight, and came back again a year ago. The result is that he still has the same virtue and has not made any progress.

Everyone's laughter echoed in Medical Clinic, which temporarily diluted the previous tense atmosphere about Mysterious Killer.

At this moment, a man sitting at the door wearing Gray Trench Coat suddenly interrupted and asked:

"What does that man look like?"

His voice was low, but it had a penetrating power that could not be ignored, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The gangsters suddenly realized that there was a man in the corner who had been silent, and he actually spoke at this moment.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his head and glanced at the man, but his expression did not change.

It's just that the movements of his hands are slightly Slow Down, as if he is also waiting for Brother Fei's answer.

"It was too dark at that time and I couldn't see very clearly."

Brother Fei cleared his throat, regained some of the spirit of bragging Qi Force, and continued:

"I only remember that Assassin was wearing White Mask, revealing a pair of eyes, which were red and red, like two red lanterns in the dark night. They looked very penetrating, like evil ghosts crawling out of hell..."

"How did I hear that someone killed a gorilla that ran out of Laboratory here at Old Factory Street years ago? That person was also wearing White Mask and his eyes were red."

A local gangster immediately took over the conversation and spoke in confusion.

"Speaking of this matter, I also know that it is almost Urban Legend in the Jiangbei area."

Another gangster heard this and immediately added, describing vividly:

"It is said that the gorilla was so powerful that it ran rampant everywhere, smashing the windows of cars and buildings on the street in the middle of the night, and injuring many people."

"If that hero hadn't taken action in time, I'm afraid the entire Street residents would have suffered. By then, the police would have to seal off the whole area, and everyone would have to live in fear."

"Yes, yes, there was a lot of rumors at that time that that thing was not actually a gorilla, but a man-eating Monster, and that the hero was Demon-Subduing True Lord who came down to earth specifically to conquer demons."

Then someone else echoed, with a hint of awe in their voice:

"I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, my grandma has a statue of the god at home. She burns incense and worships it all day long. She chants words and prays to the true king for his protection and safety. Maybe it's really a god descending to earth."

"Yes, it's him!"

Seeing that there were so many people supporting his nonsense and bragging, Brother Fei suddenly became even more arrogant and his back straightened a bit.

Then, he lowered his voice with a mysterious face:

"Hmph, maybe that hero is lurking around us. He will not only kill Monster, but also all the evildoers who are targeted by him will never end well. Everyone, please be careful not to hit the muzzle of the gun, as it will require rat tail juice."

As he spoke, he deliberately widened his eyes and glanced around to create an atmosphere.

Everyone shrank their necks subconsciously, feeling chilled all over.

After a second thought, I came back to it.

We are just low-level gangsters who only do petty theft and fight. How much harm can we do?

The ones who should be careful are the big bosses who spend their days eating, drinking, and hugging everyone.

Thinking of this, some inexplicable expectations can't help but arise in my heart.

The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!

It seems that everyone is hoping that the hero will bring justice from heaven and get rid of all the "old bosses", so that they can replace them.

"Ah--"

At this moment, Brother Fei suddenly heard another shrill scream.

It turned out that Fang Cheng was making the final adjustments to Bone Setting.

"Okay."

Fang Cheng straightened up, moved his wrist slightly, looked at Brother Fei who was sweating, and warned:

"This arm has been attached for the time being. Don't fight with others when you go back. Take good care of it. If you keep struggling with it, even the gods won't be able to save you."

There was an undoubted professionalism in his tone.

Brother Fei nodded hurriedly, repeatedly promising to change his mind and become a good young man in the future, and never forget to say thank you.

Fang Cheng ignored this guy who was spreading rumors, and then turned his attention to Panel who was shining with light.

A Prompt Information appeared in front of me.

[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your skills have reached Expert Level]

[Bone Setting lv1(0/250)]

[Get Enhancement Reward, Skill Special Effect"Temporary Solidification"]

[In the process of Bone Setting treatment, it can help relieve pain at the injured bone site, seal Solidification, and ensure the ability to move normally in a short period of time]

"It's not easy..."

Looking at Panel's message, Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked pleased.

Speaking of which, to practice the Bone Setting technique, you must have enough practice opportunities.

But there are usually so many patients with joint sprains and bone dislocations. It is easier said than done to get Diligence.

Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year period, gang disputes continue in the Jiangbei area, and fights occur frequently in the streets.

There is also an endless stream of gangsters who come to Medical Clinic for treatment.

Fang Cheng will naturally not miss this rare opportunity. As long as there is a suitable injured person, he will proactively and enthusiastically perform Bone Setting's technique and continue to accumulate experience.

Finally, today I got what I wanted and everything went smoothly Level Up.

Looking at the introduction of Expert Level and "Bone Setting"'s abilities on Panel, Fang Cheng nodded slightly.

This Skill Special Effect is just like the powerful sealing injection injected by athletes when they are injured but face major competitions and have to grit their teeth and persevere.

It can accurately act on the injured area, block nerve conduction, and seal local tissues Solidification, thereby restoring mobility in a short time.

For those who are in danger and urgently need action, this is undoubtedly a timely help, allowing them to get rid of the shackles of pain at a critical moment and regain control of their bodies.

But Fang Cheng also knows that although this Skill Special Effect is very practical, it is only a temporary measure.

Just like the powerful occlusive needle, emergency treatment is carried out first, without fundamentally curing the injury.

Therefore, the injured tissue has not been completely repaired, and subsequent comprehensive and meticulous care and treatment are required.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng turned his attention to another special skill.

[Qi Gong lv1(189/250)]

In addition to healing, this skill Bone Setting can also be used as a synthetic material for the Qi Gong skill.

A Bone Setting Experience value of 100 points is roughly equivalent to a Qi Gong Experience Points value of 50 points.

If you choose to synthesize, the Qi Gong skill will soon be close to breaking through the upper limit.

After careful consideration, Fang Cheng gave up this choice.

I decided to wait until "Bone Setting" Level Up has no further progress, and then integrate it into the Qi Gong skill. This will be the most cost-effective.

Immediately he glanced at the other two skills.

[Acupoint Striking lv0(45/100)]

[Tui Na lv0(39/100)]

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, then he retracted Panel and focused on reality.

Turning around, I saw Wen Xin delivering packaged medicinal materials to a customer who was about to leave, and then sitting alone in the corner.

She drooped her head glumly, her little hands were grabbing at the corners of her clothes, and her little mouth was pouting.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a gentle smile.

I informed Wen Hui Yi and Master Lin about sending her to school yesterday.

When Wen Hui Yi heard this, he choked up and thanked Fang Cheng, and at the same time he was full of expectations for his daughter's future.

Master Lin is naturally very supportive and knows the importance of reading for a low-income family.

However, when the news reached Wen Xin's ears, her reaction was heart-wrenching. Her face fell instantly, her brows were furrowed, full of resistance and uneasiness.

Fang Cheng knew that it was not that Wen Xin hated reading, but that her broken family life in the past had left deep scars on her young mind, causing her to subconsciously avoid contact with her peers, fearing possible ridicule, isolation, or being hurt again.

However, she had to rely on herself to take this step bravely and welcome the changes in her life.

Fang Cheng shook his head slightly, putting his worries about Wen Xin in his heart for the time being, and turned around to continue receiving the next injured person.

Unconsciously, there were fewer and fewer customers in the store.

As the wall clock ticked, the hustle and bustle gradually faded away, and silence enveloped the place.

"Sir, are you feeling well?"

Wen Hui Yi moved lightly and walked towards the man who had been sitting quietly since entering the door and was wearing Gray Trench Coat.

She spoke softly, with a professional smile on her face, trying to break the silence.

"I'm looking for Lin Fusheng."

The man shook his head, stood up, and spoke.

The deep voice sounded in the quiet store, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Fang Cheng and Master Lin couldn't help but stop their movements and cast their eyes on this person.
