"Marlene!"
Hearing this name, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.
His limited memory of the branch plot reminded him that among the former members of the Avalanche organization, there was a guy named Barrett, who had an adopted daughter named Marlene.
In order to confirm whether it was true, Shen Ye thought for a moment and asked again: "What is your father's name?"
"Barret Wallace." Marlene said in a clear voice.
Oh boy, it really is him.
The former branch president of the Avalanche organization plays an important supporting role in the plot.
Shen Ye was stunned for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he sighed, carried Marlene and went to the street to look for a hotel.
…
Midgar is a highly developed city.
Of course, the so-called development is only limited to the upper class areas. Most of the civilians in the lower class areas can only struggle to make ends meet, and their quality of life is pitifully low. It is considered good enough if they can fill their stomachs.
As for the entire Midgar, it can be said that everything basically revolves around the upper area. After all, it is controlled by the Shinra Company, and everything serves the rich.
So, Midgar is a very punk city.
Although the technology is highly developed, the quality of life of the lower class people is extremely low. The entire city has no city government, and all operations are controlled by large companies.
So, if it's not punk, who is punk?
Shen Ye walked on the road for a long time holding Marlene, but did not come across a decent hotel. Although there were a few that looked good, after entering, they were all fake and full of troubles.
There was no other way, Shen Ye could only wander the streets with Marlene. He even considered finding a cleaner alley to stay for the night if he couldn't find a place to stay.
"Poor little Marlene, it looks like we'll have to sleep on the street tonight." On a remote street, Shen Ye said to the girl in his arms.
"It doesn't matter, we can go anywhere. I'm sleepy anyway." The little girl had been running outside for a long time and didn't care about it at all. She rested her head on Shen Ye's shoulder and changed to a more comfortable position while speaking.
Shen Ye, who was used as a hotbed, shrugged helplessly, then walked for a while and then sat on a long bench on the side of the road.
The street he was on now was a relatively busy street. Even in the middle of the night, people passed by from time to time. He even saw a man wearing a simple robe, who looked like a believer, passing by him.
So, Shen Ye patted Marlene's back gently while thinking about something.
That is what the religious believers in this world believe in?
Whether it was the games he had played or the ACG animations he had watched, there were religious places, but there was no record of what religion the believers here believed in.
"Maybe it's an ancient species? Maybe it's Jenova." Shen Ye began to think wildly.
It is said that religion and philosophy are the best hypnotic agents. After thinking for a while, Shen Ye felt sleepy. His eyelids began to droop, so he took out a coat from the system storage space and covered the sleeping Marlene with it. Then he slowly closed his eyes.
But just when he was half asleep, a painful cry suddenly rang in his ears.
His nerves were tense and he immediately opened his eyes, holding the gun in one hand and holding Marlene in the other, looking alertly in the direction where the sound came from.
Then, he saw a middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground not far from him, holding her feet and breathing cold air.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" MarleneMarin's sleep was also a light one. Feeling Shen Ye's movements, she woke up in shock, rubbed her eyes and asked.
"An auntie fell down. Maybe she sprained her ankle." Shen Ye said with a frown.
Hearing this, Marlene perked up. With a heart as warm as her adoptive father, she jumped down from Shen Ye's arms, looked around and asked:
"Where is it?"
Then she also saw the woman who fell.
Marlene rushed over and tried to help the woman up, but she was so young that she couldn't even lift an adult, so she could only look back pitifully at Shen Ye.
"Uncle…"
Shen Ye sighed helplessly, stood up and walked over to help the woman up.
"Thank you." The middle-aged woman raised her head, revealing a face that still had charm, and said thank you to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye waved his hand, indicating that they should not be so polite, then helped the middle-aged woman to the bench, then squatted down and checked the location of her injury.
Soon, Shen Ye finished the examination. The blonde woman just sprained her foot. It was not a serious injury and she would recover after a few days of rest.
However, she probably won't be able to move for a while now, as her ankles are visibly red and swollen.
"Auntie, where do you live?" Marlene asked the middle-aged woman enthusiastically.
"It's not far ahead, near the church." The middle-aged woman said, pointing in a direction.
"Oh!" Marlene said, but did not promise to take her there. Instead, she continued to look at Shen Ye.
"Uncle, this aunt is so pitiful, let's send her home." She continued to look at Shen Ye pitifully, pinning her hopes on him.
"Little Marlene, your attack is ineffective on me." Shen Ye knew what she was thinking, so he tapped her head gently and said.
"What do you want the uncle to agree to send Auntie home?" Marlene said, covering her head.
Then, she seemed to remember something and her eyes lit up.
"Uncle, I can introduce you to a beautiful girl. She is very, very pretty. What do you think?" Marlene said, "She is still single and has no boyfriend."
Shen Ye had already guessed who the beautiful lady she was talking about was, but she had her own childhood sweetheart, so it would be useless to introduce her to her.
However, Shen Ye was still a kind-hearted person after all. Looking at the middle-aged woman who was frowning and breathing, he nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll just take her home."
As he said this, he carried the middle-aged woman on his back.
"Auntie, you can show the way now!" Marlene grabbed the hem of Shen Ye's clothes and said to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment. She didn't want the strange man in front of her to take her home, but the little girl was so enthusiastic and cute that she finally pointed in a direction and said, "Go across that street. There is a church. I live near the church."
"Near the church?" Shen Ye's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.
"Follow me, Marlene. I'm leaving." Lifting the middle-aged woman behind him, Shen Ye walked in the direction of her finger.
