"First of all, we must find Xiaoyi's foothold in the world of red nautilus......"

Under the clear blue sky, the transparent and warm sunlight penetrates the air, forming a colorful circle of light in the human field of vision; Two figures walked one after the other in the ruins of the city, each step stirring up a lot of dry and active dust in the air.

Lin Sanjiu muttered softly, then called out a card and looked at the address - Xiao Yi's location was very unfamiliar to her, a place she had never heard of: "...... I don't know if the rabbits left any news there. ”

According to Rabbit, as long as you leave a message at a foothold, then when Xiao Yi comes here, she will bring the news to her next world, so that even if several people go to different worlds, they will have the opportunity to exchange news.

I remembered the last time I met the rabbit in the Garden of Eden; More than two years had passed in the blink of an eye, and if they were also working towards the Twelve Realms in the center, then it was quite possible to leave a few words.

Thinking of this, her spirit couldn't help but lift a little, and she turned back to the gift bag and smiled: "Hurry up and keep up, the free zone is not far away." ”

After walking dozens of kilometers in one breath, Ji Shanqing was so tired that his eyes were spent, and every step he took on the ground was even heavier and slower than Lin Sanjiu's sick number-"Sister, sister, I see, there's nothing fun about this free zone......"

The size of the free zone is about the size of a medium-sized city before the apocalypse; And outside that bustling area, there is only one endless desolate and dead land after another. The excitement of the pack when it first started on the road. It was soon consumed by the successive weathered and eroded human ruins.

"When you see the Free Zone, you won't say that." Lin San replied without looking back, then raised his hand, pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "...... Look over there. ”

Ji Shanqing was not as tall as her, so she could only stand on tiptoe and stretch her neck to look at the place she was pointing, looking a bit like a mongoose.

From where he was, he could only see some faint shadows - when he was guessing what he was seeing, he only heard Lin Sanjiu beside him sigh lightly and said, "That's the planting area opened up by some evolutionaries...... Looks like we should be in the free zone right away. ”

As he got closer, Ji Shanqing also saw clearly the simple and dilapidated houses, as well as a field fenced with construction waste materials. As Lin Sanjiu said. The prosperity of the free zone soon became more and more evolved along the way. And gradually unfolded in front of the eyes of the two -

The free zone, reconstructed from the ruins, looks like a huge and broken white shell, and in its hollow, all kinds of strange buildings are growing vigorously and vigorously. Coming and going are strange-looking evolutionaries; A unique smell of spices, wine and blood. It is wrapped in the never-ending faint singing and instrumental sound in the free zone. Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, and finally really felt that he was back.

After thinking about it, she decided to check Xiaoyi's address first.

Walk in the endless flow of people. The eyes of the gift bag are simply not enough.

Since he was born, he had never seen so many people, so many new and interesting things--Lin Sanjiu had to walk very hard along the way, and he had to keep turning back, first finding Ji Shanqing out of the crowd, and then dragging him away from all kinds of vendors, stalls, streets, and songs; The excitement of the gift bag was interrupted, and they were muttering unhappiness - so by the time the two finally found out the address and arrived at Xiaoyi's foothold, it was almost dark.

Lin Sanjiu wiped his sweat, glanced at Ji Shanqing angrily, and walked forward.

It's a crooked little building with wooden planks nailed to its façade for some reason. The door was torn down, and a large light sign was hung on the doorway, and the words "hotel accommodation, mailbox rental, message delivery" written in several words were shining brightly in the evening twilight.

…… No wonder the last paragraph of Xiaoyi's address reads "Box No. 207".

The public lockboxes that were rented out as mailboxes were obviously searched from pre-apocalyptic stations, supermarkets, etc., and even the model colors were different from each other; Lin Sanjiu found No. 207, and after entering the password 1944, the iron door opened with a "dang" sound, and a cloud of ash was thrown out.

Coughing, Lin Sanjiu reached in with a little trepidation and touched it.

"Is there one?" Ji Shanqing asked.

Lin Sanjiu didn't respond, but he touched it again without giving up. However, all she could reach was the cold cabinet and a thick layer of ash - it seemed that Xiao Yi should not have been to the red nautilus in the past two years.

Although she knew that this result was not a surprise, the disappointment captured her heart at once.

…… Is it because the rabbits and the others haven't been able to come to the Twelve Realms yet, or is it because the news they left through Xiao Yi hasn't been brought to the red nautilus? If it's the first possibility...... So are they okay now?

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu sighed and closed the door.

Her action suddenly made Ji Shanqing feel that she could go out again, and even her eyes lit up: "What are you going to do now?" Where do we go next? ”

"Although they have no news, I can leave my whereabouts." Lin Sanjiu groaned, "...... I had already inquired when I first arrived, and the Association of Visa Officers was not far from here, so I could go and open the visa first, and then come back and write down where I was going next...... It's getting late, so we'll be able to stay here for the night tonight. Let's go, let's go to the Association of Consular Officers. ”

Although he didn't know what a visa was, Ji Shanqing still followed with great interest, and asked as he walked, "How do I get a visa?" ”

"Flower red crystal, flower material." Lin Sanjiu responded casually, but without warning, a dark cloud suddenly flashed in her heart.

The price of issuing a visa would obviously be expensive, but with the large number of red crystals found in the war slave training camp. Lin Sanjiu wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to pay the price—it's just that it was these red crystals that made her hesitate.

…… After the Knowles brothers and sisters left, she found that the two children didn't even take a single red crystal, and they all left it to her.

It's like they know they're not going to need these red crystals anymore.

No, it must have been listening to Ji Shanqing's nonsense, which made him think too much - Lin Sanjiu shook his head, cut off this thought, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

The streets in the free zone are not planned at all, they are all walked out by people. Therefore, they often go into a dead end; It's just that the consular officer association is the most concerned place in the entire free zone. The two of them didn't waste much effort, and they quickly found the building where the association was located.

As consular officers of such a high position, it is clear and clear that they are a valuable resource for the places chosen by the association. It's also very much in line with their proud style.

Tall, pointed, vaulted doors. Snow-white Romanesque columns. Exquisite and splendid carvings...... When Lin Sanjiu and the others climbed the steps and stood at the gate, they felt very small in comparison. It was supposed to be an opera house before the end of the world.

"It's really pompous." Lin Sanjiu muttered as he walked into the hall with the flow of people.

The performance hall, which was originally used for performances, was emptied of chairs, leaving a large open space and rows of small tables were placed; Some of the desks are filled with people who look like visa officers, some are empty behind them, and some have signs on the tables, ranging from "The last few ordinary visas, low-cost clearance" to "Special offer: Acceptance of subsistence supplies".

The two of them looked at everything in the hall for a long time, and Lin Sanjiu gradually saw some doorways.

The visa officers who stayed in the hall were either not of high level of competence or did not have any good visas left in hand; Most of the people who issue visas here are ordinary evolutionaries who don't have much money on them. If you want a rare visa, such as a Twelve Realm visa, or a blank visa, you have to go upstairs - the second floor is a special box for guests to watch performances, which is much more secretive and suitable for trading precious and rare materials.

Anyway, there were still a few days before the date of his transmission, and Lin Sanjiu was not in a hurry to go upstairs, and walked through the rows of small tables for a long time; After seeing enough of the various destinations, she stopped a visa officer who had just stood up from behind the table: "...... Let me ask, are there more visa officers upstairs now? ”

The dark circles under this visa officer's eyes were particularly heavy, and people couldn't notice his other facial features for a while; After glancing at her, he raised his chin upstairs and said with a bit of arrogance, "Enough for you." ”

Lin Sanjiu nodded disappreciatively, not caring about his attitude at all; Seeing that he got up and went to the door of the hall, he also turned around and went up to the second floor with his gift bag.

As soon as I walked into the corridor on the second floor, someone immediately greeted me.

"Hello, do you want to issue a visa?" The boy, who looked very young, put it in a black shirt and asked softly, "Please register." ”

"Still want to register?" Lin Sanjiu frowned.

"Yes," said the boy with a smile, "I don't usually need to, but today the 'Dean' is here, so I can't let you in casually...... You write down your name, your needs, and your bid, and I'll find a visa officer for you. I can't bring you in until I've got permission. ”

Lin Sanjiu held the pen and paper he handed over in his hand, and listened to this sentence a little stunned.

Who is the dean?

She'd never heard of a dean or a house - but looking back, she had spent most of her time at the Red Nautilus in a copy of the Starry Sky Amusement Park, and she didn't know much about the forces in the Free Zone, so it wasn't surprising that she hadn't heard of it.

After thinking about it, with a little hesitation, Lin Sanjiu still wrote down according to what the boy said, "Lin Sanjiu, the Twelve Realms Visa and the Blank Visa, buy the red crystal, and the quantity can be discussed." This line of words.

If you want to open a visa, you must be named in the visa officer system - it's just that she was chased out of the shadow by a puppeteer in the past, and she almost suffered a loss from Ji Shanqing; Now she is always a little reluctant to report her name, so the three words "Lin Sanjiu" were deliberately written by her into three crooked and vague ink balls, and the words of wine are missing from the side.

The young man took the paper and didn't look at it closely. After instructing, "You wait here, don't go in without me answering", he turned around and disappeared into the dim corridor, leaving Lin Sanjiu and the gift bag at the top of the stairs.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that they waited for more than ten minutes.

The longer the time passed, the more restless Ji Shanqing's expression became, and he didn't know what he was thinking-after a few circles, he suddenly came to Lin Sanjiu's side and said in a low voice: "Sister." Not quite right. ”

"What's wrong again?"

"You can see it when you're downstairs just now. There are only six upstairs boxes. Ji Shanqing stared at the depths of the corridor, and said softly: "This opera house is old, although there is a carpet on the ground so that people can't hear the sound of footsteps, but the sound when opening and closing the door can't be covered...... After the man walked in just now. How many times have you heard the door open? ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned: "Once." ”

"Yes. The man went into the first box. It never came out again. If the first visa officer found was suitable, he wouldn't have taken that long; If it wasn't suitable, he should have come out a long time ago. It's time to move to the next box. Ji Shanqing bit his nails and said, "He just said that there is a big man inside, so he won't let you in...... Since this big man pays so much attention to secrecy, it stands to reason that all those who want to come up and get a visa should be turned away and wait, so why bother to write down their names......"

"If you have any guesses, just say so." Lin Sanjiu rubbed his temples.

"Didn't you say that once the consular officer system is named, you can track down a designated person? I guess this big guy is here to track down people...... As for the registration, I also want to review everyone who comes to issue a visa just in case. I've thought about a lot of possibilities, but this one is the most plausible. ”

In other words, the big man inside, or his subordinates, was reviewing his registration form at this time-Lin Sanjiu frowned, and was about to say something, when he heard a "squeak" sound from the corridor, which was the sound of the door of the first box being opened.

The young man just now quickly appeared in the corridor, still holding her registration form in his hand, and came to the two of them and said with a smile: "It's Miss Lin Sanjiu, right?" Come in with me, I've found you the right visa officer. ”

At that moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what was flashing in her heart - she glanced at Ji Shanqing quickly, and the expression on the gift bag really sank; Then he suppressed the pounding heartbeat, stepped forward, and smiled: "Yes, thank you so much-"

In the next second, the man who was caught off guard was immediately struck by a shadow on the back of his neck, and he fell down almost unguarded.

Lin Sanjiu grabbed the body that was sliding down softly, and put him on the ground as quietly as possible; Ji Shanqing immediately smiled, and asked into the air as if there was someone on the other side: "By the way, which visa officer is it?" Oh, okay......"

As soon as the young man's body touched the ground, Lin Sanjiu immediately tugged at Ji Shanqing's sleeve, and the two of them turned around and rushed down the stairs-almost at the same time that the two of them had just stepped into the hall, there was a noise in the box on the second floor.

"Why are you coming at me?" Lin Sanjiu thought that the gift bag was slow, so he carried him on his shoulders and rushed towards the gate: "...... Who could be tracking me? ”

"Have you forgotten, the master behind the war slave training camp, he must have found out what you did by now!" The gift bag lay on her shoulder, panting, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is not difficult to know your name at all!" ”

Lin Sanjiu closed his mouth tightly, his heart felt as if he was being roasted by fire, and he didn't know if it was because he couldn't fight at this time, or because he couldn't get a visa—if he didn't have a visa, how could she tell the rabbit about his whereabouts?

When there was a commotion behind her, Lin Sanjiu and the others had already stepped out of the door of the hall - she had only run two steps, and suddenly turned around suddenly, and narrowly stopped her steps before crashing into the person in front of her.

"What are you doing!" The visa officer with a pair of dark circles just now obviously just came back from outside, and he was suddenly unhappy after being startled by Lin Sanjiu: "Such a reckless and reckless one!" ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, glanced back quickly, and when he turned his head to look at him again, his eyes narrowed slightly. (To be continued.) )

PS: I finally finished writing in advance today, and the remaining half of the day I'm free, I'm free!! Aha! Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't tell me to open the document anymore!!

This chapter is exactly 404, so I can't help but write an Error, and I can't help myself......
