Lorenzo pulled Eve into the crazy feast, and everything was clear before his eyes, and the long road led straight to the deepest part, but like a spider's web, it divided into dozens of paths, and everywhere at the corner of the corner lay people with misty-eyed eyes, as if they were intoxicated with some sweet dream that they could not wake up from.

"What the hell is this ......"

Eve was almost suffocated, and words were hard to put into words.

"A feast of bliss. ”

Lorenzo replied in a flat voice, the blood-boiling atmosphere could not thrill him in the slightest, as if his blood was cold, and his eyes were on the people on the ground, who embraced each other passionately, and indulged in dreams together.

This is only the periphery, and no one knows how many people are still intoxicated by this huge underground palace.

But Lorenzo didn't care, and he pulled Eve on, stepping past a twisted and wriggling body.

"What are those people doing?"

"Sweet dreams, this is their way of liberation. ”

Lorenzo took Eve by his arm and said as he walked.

"Do you know the hallucinogens that are raging in the outer city? That's what they inject, and with a little bit of it you can escape reality for a long time, and this is one of the shows of the Saab ball, and the people of the lower city usually call this kind of gathering a feast of bliss, and they think of it as if they were going to heaven together. ”

His eyes were slightly cold, and Lorenzo never liked this method of evasion.

But only for a while, when the dream finally ended, I fell hard from the beautiful heaven, and woke up in the filthy lower town and cried loudly. ”

Eve was stunned, the cruelty of the world was only revealed to her, and she felt extremely depressed.

"For ...... Why?"

It's like asking why they don't work hard and don't love life.

......

This is the age of steam technology, and the rumbling steam engine pushes the technology of the whole world forward, but the beauty brought by this technology does not care for everyone, even in the old Dunling of Invig.

The whole old Dunling is in a kind of morbid deformity, the sky is full of dark clouds, the Zeppelin never dives, the world's top technology is nurtured under this hotbed of industry, and everything is developing in the best direction.

But the price of it all was so terrible, the air mixed with exhaust fumes echoed in the lungs of every Invig, and the old forest had burned down so that the furnace would never be extinguished, and now only the wasteland remained to be developed.

The top of technology is always the priority of military service, so Invig finally won the glorious war that lasted for a hundred years, the dividends of the war and the unique military technology made it rise rapidly, under the distorted development, the snake of the atrium covered almost the entire territory of Invig, and the silent torrent of steel was enough to easily destroy any country that refused to submit.

But the darkest thing is always the deep shadow under the day.

The fledgling public base could only meet the needs of the aristocracy and part of the populace, the mechanical institute had been able to send hundreds of tons of war machines into the sky, but it could not make the electric lights light in every dark home, and after the liberation of the productive forces, countless people were unemployed, banished from their own country like wild dogs, living in damp sewers, and finally into desperate madness.

"The whole old Dunling is a pyramid, the class is pressed down and finally the cornerstone is held up by those who are powerless. ”

Lorenzo said coldly.

"Machines don't need wages, they don't need rest, they need people, so they're eliminated and end up living here. ”

Eve didn't say anything, she couldn't say anything as an aristocratic class.

After a long journey, her senses such as sight and hearing were constantly affected by this confusion, and when she stepped into the real ballroom, Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the two of them entered, all the guests had arrived, and the door behind them slowly closed, and the singing began to rise, and the men and women writhed and danced on the dance floor, as if the door had cut off the whole world, completely cutting off the chaotic warmth.

Countless crystals hung from the huge chandeliers, reflecting the light and reflecting the dome as if it were the day.

The space of the hall is much larger than that seen in the corridors, and the stairs rise upwards one by one, like the dueling arena of ancient Rome. It's unimaginably prosperous, and Eve never imagined that there would be such a facility in the impoverished Lower Town, as if all the wealth of the Lower Town had gathered here to build this great place.

"Can you dance?"

Lorenzo pulled Eve in the air, saluted, and took her to dance on the dance floor without waiting for Eve to answer.

"I'm not very good at it. ”

Eve said this, but felt that it was too late, and the two were already moving, walking back and forth through the crowd on the dance floor.

The band played selflessly on the high stage, and the songs provoked everyone's emotions.

"As a nobleman, you should learn more, maybe your future husband will meet at the ball, right? ”

Lorenzo showed incredible skill, and Eve was like his marionette, swinging and dancing with it in his hands.

"Then how could you, a detective still have to learn to dance?"

"You also know that most of the time the junior is at the end of the dance. ”

Lorenzo's voice was a little dry, and it was indeed a bit bad to keep mentioning his black history like this.

Eve smiled evilly, and her mood unconsciously relaxed a lot, if you forget how you came here and what you are for, it is no different from an ordinary ball.

"Look around, we're going to look for Saab next. ”

Holding Eve in a spin, the girl was much lighter than he thought, and the long skirt spread out with the spin, like a blooming lotus.

"You don't know what he looks like?"

"I'm just a detective, how could I have seen him, so we'll have to find him before it's over. ”

He was talking to Eve, but Lorenzo's gaze kept wandering back and forth.

"He's a Viking, and he's tall, so he should be very conspicuous. ”

Eve gave her advice, but Lorenzo shook her head.

"He's not going to be on the dance floor, he's the owner here, and it's just a warm-up, the master doesn't have to show up so early. ”

His eyes wandered back and forth in the golden hall, and if it weren't for the mask, Lorenzo would have been like a thief who had come to steal.

"This is his kingdom, and the king should sit on the top and look down on his people, and whatever happens, he will see it first. ”

The girl's slender waist was like a willow branch in Lorenzo's hands, and the two of them swayed and swirled, constantly moving through the crowd with the help of the music.

"It's like those zeppelins, they're always above the clouds, and they can see it clearly no matter what the people on the ground do. ”

His gaze finally fell on the high platform, and Lorenzo whispered in Eve's ear.

"I think I've found him. ”

It was a high platform where the more distinguished guests had taken their seats, talking to each other, tasting wine and food, and discussing things they didn't want others to know.

"You say he's in that group?"

Eve saw it there in one of the spins, and she whispered.

"No, at the top. ”

Lorenzo's gaze was always on the higher side of the platform, the magnificent glazed walls.

Even though it was underground, the walls were covered with painted glass, depicting myths in a church of worship, but this was underground, and the divine light could never shine on it.

"This is underground, and the stained glass is so abrupt that there must be a room behind it, and he is behind it, quietly watching us. ”

"How, shoot there?" said Eve.

"In that case, we will all die here today, this is underground, you can also see how complicated the route is, the only way we know the exit is the road from which we came, it is an advantageous terrain, as long as someone is blocked there with a firearm, he can defeat a hundred, even an army is difficult to break through. ”

Just like the hot spring pass that Leonidas held onto, no matter how many enemies there were, they were evenly matched in that narrow terrain.

"So how?"

"Wait. ”

Lorenzo looked confident.

"There's always going to be a chance. ”
