Chapter 186: 185: All Shall Breathe Neon

The streets of the Outer Area bustled with different sorts of activities. Fights, car chases, the laughter of drunkards and narcotic consumers, small kids performing various acts of thievery, the weak being used as slaves, and debauchery of all sorts occurring out in the open and in seemingly unseen corners.

These activities which would be performed in unseen places or the night were performed during the day, making one wonder if even worse activities could even be performed in the absence of light.

In front of a decrepit house sat two shabby-looking young men, both with a bottle of alcohol in their hands.

One of them took a gulp from his bottle while the other placed his bottle on the floor, then he placed his hands in his pocket, eventually bringing out a joint. He brought out a lighter and after two clicks, he lighted the roll and took a puff from it, eventually exhaling it with a satisfied expression.
