"You don't have to emphasize your gender."

Orianna chuckled.

Isn't it just that you saw the wrong gender at first glance, and you need to answer something irrelevant about it?

At this time when everyone is in danger, she is still in the mood to joke, it is the first time she has seen such a person, it is so funny, she rarely goes out, this is the first time she has come to the city under her feet alone, as a volunteer.

Above the not empty cavern platform is a huge patio, in the middle of which stands the longitudinal rails of three lifts, perpendicular to the ground and at the same height as the surface, each two meters in diameter, cast with wrought iron, and the area enclosed by three columns is the transportation channel of the screaming elevators.

Jeno looked up, a poisonous mist beveling his head, the gases gushing out through the ventilation ducts in the walls of the well, baring their teeth and claws over people's heads.

He couldn't see the elevator in the fog, but he could see the oiled iron frame of the ventilation ducts vibrating violently, making a tooth-aching sound.

The piercing roar grew louder and louder, and a huge click poured into the cavern, crashing against the wet moss-green walls, making a deafening echo, and in the eyes of everyone, a huge iron cage broke through the poisonous fog and descended on the platform domineeringly.

The wind pressure temporarily blew away the poisonous fog, and Jeno was able to get a glimpse of what the big guy looked like.

Taking a hard breath, Jeno took a closer look at the elevator in front of him, known as Scream.

Birdcage! The first impression is a giant birdcage!

The shape of the elevator is close to that of a cylinder, with the middle part of the puffed gear and the groove on the longitudinal rail, the top connected by a thick cable, and the outer railing is equipped with light yellow glass, like a dusty window.

Unlike the birdcage, the lift is hermetically sealed, and through the glass, it is possible to see that the cabin is divided into many levels, and there is a spiral staircase on the bulkhead that connects the cabins to the various levels.

There are two hatches, when the elevator rises, the lower hatch is the entrance, and the upper hatch is the exit; The reverse is true when the lift is lowered.

This is similar to an elevator, or a vertical bus, Jeno thought to himself, and received the news of the increase in Hex's technical proficiency in his head, and it turned out that observing other Hextech technologies could improve his proficiency.

Since mastering the Hex technique, Jeno can easily tell if someone else's Hex augmentation is real or fake.

Next to her, a lady in Picheng had an implanted mandibular plate on her face and a jewel-shaped monocle. Her arm was around a man who wore metal gloves and the surface of the grid reflected a glittering light. The two Hextech augmentations were fake, the mandibular plate was nothing more than a shaped silver foil glued to her face, and the monocle was nothing more than ordinary gemstone identification lenses, and the artisan seal engraved on them was also imitation. The male companion beside her had just an ordinary bronze glove on his hand, and some kind of glowing algae in the glass tube on the surface, which must have come from some culture tower in Zaun.

Not far away, a hunchbacked man in a one-piece overalls with a respirator on his back, the pool filled with bubbling green liquid, and the aerosolized steam curled up. The breathing apparatus was real, and the hunchbacked man's bloodshot eyes, combined with the tough material of his coveralls, were enough to suggest that he was from deep underground.

Jeno understands why these people are doing this—to show off their social status.

A person's social status is largely determined by the wealth and power that a person demonstrates, and the two are mutually causal. Similar practices abound: the cutting of fabrics for everyday wear, the intense colors of paints, and the variety of charities advertised.

Of course, the Zaun people are generally not as pompous as the Picheng people, they have nothing to do, and their minds are all about how to survive in this terrible place or how to earn money to move out of here.

The lower hatch slowly opened, and seeing hope, the crowd around him began to stir, and Jeno took the opportunity to squeeze Orianna through the cracks to the elevator.

Then he found that even if he didn't do anything, the crowd would squeeze them to the foot of the lift.

The mercenary policemen stood in front of the hatch to collect fees, and the alchemy rods in their hands were sizzling with electric arcs, and a dull sound was made through the glass jars:

"Regardless of adults or children, one head is 3 gold seas, and the first to pay the money is advanced."

The couple in front of Jeno frowned, took out six gold coins in the shape of gears, handed them to the rubber-gloved hands of the mercenary officer, and entered the scream first.

(Jinhai is the abbreviation of Jinhex coin, the common currency of Picheng Zuan, 1 Jinhai = 100 silver wheels = 10,000 copper rings)

"It's getting expensive...... It only cost 1 gimhae when I came down. Orianna complained, then obediently took out 6 gold coins and walked with Jeno to the platform on the upper deck of the cabin.

The interior of the lift is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, provided it is very crowded.

Jeno touched the metal railing in the cabin, a large amount of heat was transferred to his fingers, and there was a feeling of hot hands, which was an overheating phenomenon caused by frequent use, so he chose a position to stand by the glass window.

"How do you know I'm rich?" Orianna leaned in, unwilling to lean against the hot railing.

"You smell of money all over your body, and you don't fit in with Zuan." Jeno replied.

"Is there one? How I didn't know! Oriana subconsciously sniffed her arm after hearing this answer, but when the breathing mask on her face rubbed against her sleeve, she realized that she had been tricked.

She glared at Jeno fiercely, and that kind of cuteness could be felt even through the mask.

"Haha, just kidding. I found out that you were a big lady from your appearance. You have fair and healthy skin, well-proportioned breathing, and exquisite clothing, and you don't look like a person who spends time in Zu'an.

Zu'an is located in a canyon, there is very little light, so people's skin is very pale, this paleness can not be avoided even if people are born with black skin, plus Zu'an is haunted by haze all day long, people have some respiratory diseases more or less, at least nine out of ten people cough, the remaining one is pneumoconiosis, and finally, Zu'an people are generally very poor, and the way children express their personality is often to use paint to paint a mark or tattoo on their face, rather than dressing up like you in clothes. ”

Jeno dug through the messy memories and concluded after a comparison that in his opinion, many people in Zaun looked like vampires who had taken drugs, and many of them looked like drug-addicted vampires who had been mechanically modified.

"Oh...... I changed into plain clothes, but I didn't expect to be able to integrate into Zuan. ”

Oriana squeezed her hands in frustration and leaned against Jeno, and the second floor was gradually crowded with people, just like the subway during rush hour, crowded without leaving a gap.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

"What are the staff doing?"

The rich and the poor can't avoid being next to each other at the same time, people's small movements are non-stop, a dull feeling fills the entire elevator space, riots escalate, and conflicts can break out at any moment.

Orianna pressed her forehead to the glass to see what was happening below, and she saw the life in the poisonous mist, with an indifferent face, impatient feet, helpless eyes, and a silent mouth.

"Jeno, I wonder if the people of Zaun hate the people of Leather City? They often call us Pichengya, and when I first came down, I wanted to help an old man put on a mask, but he said that I was taking a fake and wanted to cheat him out of the coffin money...... This is my father's latest mask, which is much better than the alchemy glass jars on the market, but he just doesn't believe me. ”

"Grandpa may not have seen such a high-tech breathing mask, or is he old and confused, I think, no one will hate a good girl like you, unless he is not a human being."

"My father also told me not to try to make everyone like you, it's not necessary and it can't be."

"Uh-huh, no matter what you do, the bar spirit will come out and lift the bar."

"Bar spirit? What an interesting word, is that how the people of Zaun speak? ”

"Nope! Only I would say that. ”

"You're the funniest Zaun I've ever seen!"

"Isn't it the most handsome?"

"You're really special......"

……

While waiting for the scream to start, Jeno was idle with Oriana, and asked questions intentionally or unconsciously to solve his doubts about the world.

At this time, there was a quarrel at the entrance.
