In the sinful city of the night, Qingyin walked alone.
After walking through several blocks, she finally saw faint lights ahead.
There, was Half Dream Street.
There, dim lights adorned the ancient and dilapidated narrow streets, creating a unique dreamlike feeling. Even though it was already 10 p.m., there were still many people coming and going on this short street. Half of the establishments were taverns, while the other half were gambling houses and brothels. The people walking by were either indulging in excessive drinking or were gamblers and patrons of prostitutes. In any case, good people would not come here.
Most of the passersby were men, and there were also some nearby orcs and boars. Obviously, there would be rarely anyone bringing female companions here. On the streets and lanes, there were also many seductive and provocatively dressed women, clearly prostitutes. Of course, there were also those trying to lure customers for the taverns and gambling houses.
Qingyin found it difficult to understand and approve of the vulgar and provocative appearance and gestures of those prostitutes. But when she thought about it, she realized that she herself was dressed similarly, which made her feel ashamed.
However, this was to catch the serial killer. Doing so was her duty and responsibility to her family, and thinking about it this way, Qingyin gathered her courage and stepped onto Half Dream Street.
But how exactly could she catch the killer? Qingyin had no clue in her mind. After all, she had no leads at all.
But no matter what, she had to play her role well, making the men passing by believe she was a prostitute. Hopefully, this would lure the killer to appear!
However, Qingyin had no experience and was restrained by her instinctive dignity and reserve. She couldn't possibly imitate the crude gestures of those vulgar prostitutes.
Therefore, she didn't know what to do and could only stand on the side of the street.
However, Qingyin didn't realize that with her mature goddess-like appearance and figure, she didn't need any experience at all. Just standing there, someone immediately approached her.
"Hey! Beauty! A new face?"
Qingyin looked and saw a tall and thin scoundrel with an earring. She knew that this person was not a patron but someone who loitered on the streets.
Qingyin turned her head, ignoring him.
"Beauty, you look familiar!"
"I live nearby..." Qingyin said.
"Judging by your appearance, you must be a married woman. What are you doing here? This is not a place for a respectable woman like you!"
Qingyin blushed a little. Did this mean she was no longer respectable? But in order to find the killer, Qingyin thought it might be beneficial to use this person. So she said, "I... want to find part-time work... at night..."
The man smiled and said, "To come here looking for work, do you know what kind of place this is?"
"I know."
"If you know, why are you here? A proper woman like you should not come to a place like this..."
"I need money," Qingyin said simply.
"Hmm... I understand. Well, Beauty, come with me! Our shop happens to be hiring!"
"Um..." Qingyin lowered her head and followed the scoundrel.
Led by the scoundrel, Qingyin arrived at a luxurious and tasteless building on the street. Inside, it was beautifully decorated and the lighting was ambiguous. As soon as she entered, she saw many extremely revealingly dressed women coming and going in the lobby, and variously dressed customers hugging and kissing each other. Just ahead of the lobby was a staircase leading up to private rooms, where without needing to look, she knew what was happening inside.
"Come, I'll take you to meet our boss!"
"Um..."
At this moment, Suo Yechen, who had been secretly following Qingyin, felt somewhat incredulous. Not only did Mom dress like this and allow men to approach her, but she even went with them! And they went into that kind of place, what, what was the reason for this? Why did Mom have to do this???
