Chapter 717: A Woman's Paradise, A Man's Hell
Under the leadership of Xia Duoduo and the burly woman, 80% of the merchants chose to return to the transport ship, except for those women in the Chamber of Commerce and male slaves who worked as coolie transporters.
Because of Zhou Min's reward, these three port officials earned more than usual, and they no longer cared whether those merchants were willing to clear customs. Idle and bored, the three of them fiddled with the lira given by Zhou Min.
"Sister, what is this?" A port officer whispered as he picked up a hundred lira.
"Huh? The Empress ordered a ban on the hidden lira? The other harbor officer glanced at him and said with a puzzled expression.
"Quick, look at the rest." The older port officer snapped to his senses and spoke loudly.
As expected, the ministry is a banned private edition.
Three people look at me, I look. The older port officer gritted his teeth and said, "Tricked by them!" These liars! Find out where they came from? Apply for a raid! ”
"Big sister, Tannic Star Field." The youngest port officer said with a frightened face: "Eldest sister, this is where the men in black in the city failed......
"Third child, don't talk nonsense! That's not what we're thinking about! Another harbor officer whispered.
"Don't call the second child the third. The young lady was graceful and luxurious, and there was no hint of a bandit. Moreover, there are 64 planets around the Tannic star field, all of which are lira with this template. Moreover, the transports were moving very slowly, and since the young lady was playing, the lira was no longer usable when she was on board. ”
The older port officer calmed down completely, and analyzed in a low voice.
"Ten thousand steps back, they don't know that these lira can't be used. When they arrived in the imperial capital, they were naturally arrested by the city defense army. As for the money, I listen to me...... My girlfriend said that those big men in the city collected these things, and now they have been fried to 150 pieces, and when I sell the lira, I can fill the vacancy, and we will divide the rest equally. ”
"So no one can say it! If you say it, you will die! The older port officer warned again.
"We listen to the eldest sister, and as for the payment, the eldest sister looks at it." The remaining two harbor officers looked at each other and replied in unison.
"Okay, I have a bite of meat to eat, and you have to drink a mouthful of soup." The eldest sister patted her chest and slapped the package ticket.
"What about the eldest sister, what about the old man?" The third child glanced at the burly female guard captain in the distance and whispered.
"The third child, stupid! Now is not the time to be a nymphomaniac, if you don't handle it well, you will lose your head! With that old and rough rectum character, can this thing be hidden? The second child hurriedly persuaded him.
"Yes, I can't talk about it now, when the matter is done, I can invite them to a meal or have a good time, and now I will keep a low profile." The eldest sister finally made a decision.
Walking out of the military port, the two Scarlet Roses broke up with Xia Duoduo and them.
In order to understand what was going to happen next, Zhou Min blocked Xia Duoduo's idea of sitting on the city's transportation with his toes high, and the three of them walked along a branch road towards the front.
I don't know why, unlike the large-scale cities built by humans, the entire Imperial City is not large, and even a little shabby, only five times larger than the current Glory Fortress, and even when the Glory Fortress is put into use with the administrative blocks and commercial streets, the area will be similar to that of the Imperial City.
However, as the three of them continued to go deeper, they were surprised to find that the entire emperor was an up-and-down structure, rather than a flat structure. Looking at the elevators that traveled through the ground and above ground, Qin Hao was shocked to find that there were 99 floors of underground buildings in the imperial city!
Even listening to those people chatting, in addition to these 99 floors, there are more than a dozen floors where male slaves live.
The entire Imperial City is like a huge cake, and the layers are extremely obvious. The buildings on the ground and the ten floors close to the ground were owned by the army, and the next twenty floors were the nobles and royalty
All of them, and the rest are inhabited by citizens.
It is precisely in this way that the entire imperial capital will be extremely deserted.
Qin Hao was a little incomprehensible to these people who lived underground, and after knowing and seeing the strength of the army, he understood the reason why they were never afraid of being besieged by the enemy.
Because in the Virgo system, women are respected, and men do not have access to powerful weapons, and sporadic resistance will be extinguished. Not to mention that now the royal family has surrendered to the demons and there is no external threat. Except, of course...... Scarlet roses.
Somewhat different from Qin Hao's original imagination, although there were extremely few people moving on the ground in the imperial capital, after the elevator reached the minus 50 floor, it was full of people. You can smell the erosion outside through the elevator.
After reaching the minus 70 floor, he gradually settled down, but Qin Hao and the three of them did not stop, what he asked to go to the minus 81 floor, there were those blood-colored rose scouts at the last signal position of the disappearance of life.
The elevator continued to descend after replacing the charged crystals a few times, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt burnt crystals that were characteristic of broken inferior crystals. As they reached the 77th floor, a third elevator attendant with a vicious face walked in, she nodded to Xia Duoduo and the others, glanced at the scarlet 81st floor button, and asked in a cold low voice, "Why did you go to the 81st floor?" It's a sinner's purgatory. ”
"Thanks for the advice, we're going there to visit a suffering house slave." Zhou Min replied first.
"Here, the threads of fate that were once entangled have been broken." The elevator man lowered his head, his voice was low, and he whispered with his usual sadness.
For the rest of the day, everyone did not speak, and the entire elevator room was quiet and strange, only the unique "grinding teeth" sound when the spar turned.
Fortunately, the elevator rose and fell very quickly, and in a few breaths, everyone stopped on the 81st floor.
With the screeching sound of the elevator door opening, the elevator clerk glanced at Xia Duoduo, Qin Hao, and Zhou Min: "Here, don't trust others," After speaking, the elevator door closed behind Qin Hao.
Xia Duoduo, who was facing the elevator door, vaguely felt that the elevator staff was smiling at him at the moment when the elevator door was about to close!
This place is the royal capital of the Virgo galaxy, although it adopts an upper and lower hierarchical structure, the security will not be too bad, right?! Even if it is minus 81 floors...... What does that person's smile represent? Is it a mockery of the trio or a fear of ill-fated fate? Or is it the frustration of the whole dungeon?
"Let's go," Qin Hao saw that Xia Duoduo's face was a little pale, and stretched out his finger towards her.
"Hmm," Xia Duoduo stopped thinking nonsense, nodded very obediently and agreed, and grabbed Qin Hao's hand with his right hand and followed.
"It's a little weird here," Zhou Min, who had gone to explore the path earlier, turned back at this time, her expression was a little gloomy, and she handed over something wrapped in a plastic bag in her hand.
Xia Duoduo's face became nervous, his eyes turned quickly, he glanced at the plastic bag, and asked in a low voice, "This is?" ”
"Take it up and take a look," Zhou Min turned to Xia Duo Donunu and handed over the plastic bag.
Xia Duoduo's arm sank so hard that he almost didn't throw the plastic bag away. A layer of suspicion welled up on her face: "What is this?" Why is it so heavy? ”
Qin Hao leaned over, took the fist-sized object from Xia Duoduo's hand, and looked at it carefully. Some damp gray-brown objects have a faint smell of stone foam.
"Soil?" Qin Hao twisted those particles with his fingers, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Zhou Min nodded: "This is the soil here, which I dug out from the entrance of the street in front." ”
Xia Duoduo was silent for a while, and let out a "Okay" in her throat, she grabbed the soil from Qin Hao's hand and put it on her nose and sniffed it gently, and soon she noticed something different
Often, "these particles are very light in small quantities, and they are much lower than anything else of the same material." When the number is slightly larger, it is much larger than the others. ”
For this operation, Xia Duoduo did not carry a backpack and detection instruments, so he had to throw these things into Qin Hao's folding backpack with a depressed face.
Because of this incident, the speed of the three of them gradually decreased, and finally, under Zhou Min's warning, the three of them turned on the stealth mode one after another.
Layers of light emanated from the robes, and the three figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.
It seems that because of the low-level citizens, there is no high-rise prosperity here, and even in order to reduce expenses, there is not a single light on the street. Of course, it couldn't be turned on, and judging from the scene, almost all the street lights were smashed and bent.
The streets are painted with graffiti and obscure slogans, and in some of the alleys there is a musty smell of blood. Occasionally, a few pieces of paper were blown into the air and whined, and two or three stray dogs looked towards Qin Hao, and they felt the threat of death and whimpered and left.
Xia Duoduo looked at this terrible environment, and he didn't dare to come out and leaned towards Qin Hao's side, and looked at Zhou Min who was ten steps ahead on the right with envy.
"Tick ...... Tick-tock", the sound of the detector, which was so faint that it was barely audible, worked slowly. In the diamond-shaped tower in the very center, the sealer was a cloud of crimson blood, and the blood seemed to spread around, forming a web like a hair. The pointer connected to it swung from side to side a few times and returned to normal.
The hour hand on the dial to show the distance is constantly turning, reducing the detection distance.
At one intersection, the pointer became confused, swinging a few times to the left and then to the right.
"They should be separated here," Zhou Min walked more than ten steps towards the road on the right and turned back.
Seeing that Qin Hao didn't react, she thought that there was a problem with her built-in headset and bumped his arm.
Qin Hao came back to his senses and nodded: "Well, maybe the place where they were killed is in one of them, follow me closely and go to the left first." ”
Xia Duoduo glared at Qin Hao, who was full of seriousness, and took back the words that had just come to his lips, "Go to the right quickly, the two of us are on the left", and hesitated before speaking: "Do you think they are dead too?" ”
Qin Hao nodded silently, "Let's go and have a look first."
It had not been ten minutes to the left when I heard a poignant song coming from ahead.
“…… I kiss goodbye
On the street of shadows
Let the darkness engulf me, I can't refuse
I kiss goodbye
In the bloodthirsty night
……”
Stepping across a bridge, Xia Duoduo was shocked to see a long-haired woman in a white shirt below, she was waving her long hair wildly, waving a quaint yaoqin with both hands, and two women were lying horizontally not far in front of her.
Just when Qin Hao thought that the woman was singing alone, he had strayed into the illusion of the person in the painting. A bleak smile appeared on the woman's face, and she looked at Qin Hao, Xia Duoduo, and Zhou Min, but finally her eyes fell on herself: "You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Xia Duoduo's head banged, and then he realized that the three of them had entered by mistake and broke into someone else's murder scene! According to all logic and reality, the two sides are now at odds with each other. She clenched her fists tightly, and Zhou Min on the other side even touched the weapon on her waist.
When he opened his spiritual sense and found that there were only the four of them in the entire scene, Qin Hao, who was named by the woman, moved, he gently patted Xia Duoduo's hand, and made a boo gesture towards Zhou Min, only then did he take a step forward and stared closely at the Yaoqin woman.
What do you mean by that? Are you really struggling with us? ”
