Chapter 120: Infiltrating the Underworld Headquarters
At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Xingying had already logged in to the Taoyuan system.
This time, I was the first to arrive... Except for Betty.
Betty was already in the driver's seat, waiting for them.
"You're here~haa~" Betty said hello and let out a big sigh.
"Why didn't you sleep well?" Chen Xingying asked.
"Yes, I had a late-night snack at the hotel last night, and on the way back to my room, I actually met someone from the Salvation Society..."Betty said something amazing.
"How so? Didn't you say you wouldn't check high-end hotels? Chen Xingying asked nervously.
"yes, I found out later that they just happened to live in it, and they didn't make rounds, and they didn't recognize me. However, I was still wary and didn't fall asleep until late at night. Betty said.
That's a lot of pressure, more than she should have shown.
"It's okay." Chen Xingying breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Xiao Chu was also online, and then the last one to arrive was Chen Xin.
"Sorry, I overslept." Chen Xin apologized.
Fortunately, this is a virtual world, otherwise the real world would definitely look like messy hair.
"Sister Xiaolin is rarely late, is it really the reason why she was drunk yesterday?" Xiao Chu asked.
Therefore, Chen Xingying is very curious, how strong is the cocktail she drank yesterday...
couldn't help but glance at Chen Xin, just staring at her, as if remembering yesterday's events, both of them were a little embarrassed, slightly embarrassed, and immediately looked away.
But when I think about it, it seems that they don't respect each other very much, and then they look at each other again, and suddenly they smirk.
"I said you two showed some affection early in the morning!" Xiao Chu pretended to look at them with disdain and said.
"It's nothing..."Chen Xingying turned around after speaking.
"Alright, then let's set off to Shangcheng District!" Betty finished and started her car.
Similar to how Downtown gets to Midtown, Midtown also needs to go through an ascending tunnel to get to Uptown.
It's just that there is not a lot of traffic in this ascending channel, especially if you go up, you still need to pass the verification of the staff at the checkpoint.
"Hello, please show your manifest."
Betty walked through the special channel for express logistics, and her sharp tone proved that the staff at the level was a android.
Betty handed him her manifest.
"Confirmed, you've been active for 12 hours in Uptown... I'll take a look at this, there are four people in the car, and you must be four people when you leave! ”
The android let him go.
"Anyway, doesn't he arouse suspicion, why does it take four people to send a package." Chen Xingying asked as the car ascended.
"He never cared about this, he only looked at the pass and the number of people who came and went." Betty replied.
That's a little weird where it shouldn't be... Chen Xingying thought to herself.
The upper town, which is more than 1,000 meters high, is now the place where the group will go.
It seems to take a little longer to ascend than it does to get from Downtown to Midtown.
The three of them look forward to the upcoming scene with curiosity. Then the ascent finally stopped.
"Welcome to the Upper Town of Sky City!" Betty feigned cheers.
What catches your eye is a more bustling city... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a garden.
A highly three-dimensional urban garden... The shape of each building is full of personality, and the city is surrounded by flowers and plants.
In front of Chen Xingying's eyes is the European architectural style. But from a distance, it seems that there is a roof that looks like a Chinese building in the distance.
If you look closely at the flowers and plants, they are all small gardens floating in the air. There are still quite a few people sitting in some small gardens. He looks very elegant.
"It's... Could it be the legendary high society? Chen Xin said.
"High society? Anyway, this is where the highest class of people in the city live. Betty returned.
"But it looks so big, are there so many rich people in this city?" Chen Xingying asked curiously.
"As I said before, not all of them are rich, and most of the corporate elites above the middle class also live here. All in all, you can live in Uptown if you mix well... However, those good middle-class people want to live here forever, they must maintain their jobs, and if they accidentally lose their jobs, they may even lose the house they live in. Betty explained as she drove.
"Oh, even the house is also the meaning of the company." Chen Xingying replied.
"That's right, I feel like I've been kidnapped by my boss, I don't want this kind of life, I'd rather not live in Uptown than be as free as I am now!" Betty suddenly said excitedly.
"Hahaha..."Chen Xingying couldn't help but smirk when she heard this, thinking in her heart: But you are also too free.
"Where should we meet Brother Xiaoyu and them?" Xiao Chu asked.
"Well, you'll have to find a place to meet you when you succeed in escaping. So I know someone and ask her to arrange a place for us to base up. Betty replied.
"Huh? Do you have acquaintances in Uptown? Chen Xingying asked in surprise.
"As it happens, there is, Roger's wife."
"This old man actually has a wife?" Xiao Chu asked in surprise after listening to Betty's words.
"yes, what's so strange, after all, he was handsome and rich when he was young. However, as he got older, he continued his eccentric temper and style. His wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to live alone in Uptown... How to say it, I was brought up by her since I was a child, so I have a lot of emotions. Betty continued.
It seems to be a very solid relationship.
It didn't take long for the car to stop in front of a detached house.
The garden in front of the house is beautifully manicured, and it looks like a lot of care has been put into it every day.
Haven't waited for Betty to do anything. The door of the house opened, and an old lady with a very dignified temperament came out.
Betty immediately opened the car door and walked out.
And the old lady motioned for her to stand still, walked over herself, and said in a low voice,
"The specific old man has already told me to go to my private teahouse in Chinatown, which is still closed, and no one is relieved... And, Betty, keep yourself safe, you'll always be my child. ”
The old man said, and his expression was slightly excited.
"Okay Kelly, I'll take care of this, you go back, I'll give it to you when it's all over." Betty also said excitedly.
The old lady stared at Betty again, and then lit up Chen Xingying and them in the car.
"God bless these four lovely children." After saying that, he turned around and walked to his room.
Well, it seems that in her eyes, Betty is just like us as children.
"Chinatown? That's where our country style comes in? At this time, Xiao Chunuo mentioned this thoughtfully.
"Yes, there are all kinds of areas in Uptown, and Chinatown is one of them, so you should still feel quite close."
So I set off for Kelly's personal teahouse.
On the way, Chen Xingying also used the communicator to inform Xiaopeng of their detailed location.
So they met in the teahouse.
I have to mention that this Chinatown is built based on the Jiangnan water town, which is particularly full of feelings, especially Chen Xin, who feels like he has returned to the world of the Fairy Sword Tribulation in an instant.
"By the way, Professor, it occurred to me yesterday... Why do we have to go to such lengths to put on this play? Have you not been given the key to open the door to the Tower of Babel? Wang Xuanjun suddenly said this.
"Hey, indeed!" Xiao Chu also suddenly brightened.
"The invitation seems to be the official way of the competition, and although we may have been deliberately arranged to get something unexpected, I think the importance of this invitation cannot be overlooked." Chen Xingying said.
"Excuse me, you just want to say maybe this is a ticket to get close to the Tower of Babel, right?" Xiaopeng continued.
"Yes, I don't know if this invitation can only be used by one person or what."
So everyone got on Xiaopeng's team.
It is said that it was a seven-seater that was rented to accommodate so many people.
At this time, Chen Xingying and the others knew that as VIPs, they could enjoy various facilities in the city without any vouchers... In addition to coming to Uptown, you need a special mission credential.
"So it's still a game?" Chen Xingying said to herself.
"Alright, it's almost time to get to your destination, everyone is going to enter the play!" Xiaoyu said.
The headquarters of the Salvation Society is a super-large garden mansion. It looks like the kind of place where the boss of the underworld lives, and there are many people in black suits guarding the gate of the courtyard.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? After the car was stopped, a man asked fiercely.
"I'm here to hand it over, and we caught the four couriers who stole at the meeting last time." Xiao Peng, who was driving, returned.
"Really?" The guard poked into the car, and then said,
"Is there an action code?"
"Oh, I think about it, 8... 3… 1..."Xiao Peng recalled a string of numbers.
"Okay, let's pass, VIP has worked hard!"
After confirming the information, there was a big change in attitude... It's true... So thought of it.
The car was guided to a stop.
"Okay, just leave the rest to our people!"
Motioning for everyone to get out of the car, this is Chen Xingying and Betty and the other four people pretending to be worried and scared, and walked out with their heads down.
Xiaopeng and Xiaoyu, as well as Wang Xuanjun, held their heads high and looked proud.
"Is that the one who is it?" Another man in black ran over and asked Xiaopeng and them.
"Well, yes, can you take us to the boss to receive the reward?" Xiaopeng returned.
"Let's go with me to the boss first."
Chen Xingying feels that at least this play has no sense of the future at all... Or the underworld movie...
was stared at all the way and taken to the mansion.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at our destination. The door opens to create a place that resembles a living room.
There were many members of the Salvation Society standing on either side... At the forefront, an old man sat upright, staring at them with fierce eyes.
This man should be the boss of the Salvation Society.
