Chapter Seventy-Three: Carnival
The vast sky was now carved into a shape that represented personal preferences like a drawing board, and the winding walls went straight into the sky, forcibly dividing the blue hues, and finally standing majestically in the sky visible to the naked eye, the endless majesty and the majestic majesty of the sky gave people a shock, compared to the cruel rules of the secret room.
Lu Shaozhen just glanced at it like this, and felt like Mount Tai pressing on her heart, and she felt suffocated.
What the hell is this place?
Lu Shaozhen's expression was solemn, and his gaze kept wandering on the edge of these high walls, and the clear lines reflected the cold metallic texture, like a prostrate majestic mechanical city.
"This is a cage, and anyone who comes in should not want to get out." Cao Shuo suddenly retracted the smiling expression on his face, and then patted Lu Shaozhen's shoulder heavily, he turned around in place and pointed his finger at everyone nearby and continued: "There are so many innocent people here, they were all good law-abiding citizens before they came here, but everyone came out of that cage after a long coma, and over time, new members continued to join, forming the current independent small society. ”
"Those...... It's all made of steel? Lu Shaozhen stammered, his thinking was a little stagnant, what he saw in front of him was really beyond his cognition, especially when he was in such a grand environment when he just came out of the narrow space, the comparison between the two made his shock more and more overflowing.
"The City of Desire, the Maze of Machines." Cao Shuo sneered at the corner of his mouth, his hand gestured behind him, and the field covered with tender grass like a wilderness stretched behind him, so that people seemed very small in this environment, "The high walls around here are made of steel, and there are majestic mechanisms in the wide steel barrier as a hub to control the entire steel city. ”
"It's spectacular!" Lu Shaozhen didn't seem to listen to what Cao Shuo was talking about at all, his attention was all attracted by the strict barriers, it can be said that with the existence of these barriers, it is impossible for anyone to go out without the permission of the builder, because there is nothing to climb on the steel wall more than 100 meters high, and it is really impossible to climb up unless Spider-Man descends.
Lu Shaozhen's mind was filled with shock at the moment, and the only little room for thinking was to feel the truth of the temperature of reality rather than the mirror, and the sudden situation made him need a lot of time to digest.
"Alright, the basics are done, now it's time to get a feel for the rules here." Cao Shuo looked at Lu Shaozhen with a squint, and at the same time glanced at Chang Mingda provocatively, and then said, "If you want to live well here, then you need to learn to be submissive, mask man, I am very interested in your face, you see that we are all showing our true faces, for the sake of fairness......"
Chang Mingda knew what Cao Shuo meant, but if the truth was revealed, he would definitely not get a good end, after all, people's idea of "people who are not of my race will have different hearts" is deep-rooted, and it is difficult to eliminate it with actions, especially in such a lack of legal system.
Therefore, instead of being treated as an outlier, it is better to push the boat down the river and pretend that your face is a sub-mask, so as to ensure your own safety.
"Sir, everyone has secrets, isn't it, is appearance really that important to a person, since they all represent identity, then why shouldn't I wear this mask?" Chang Mingda's tone was polite, as if he was afraid that that sentence would offend Cao Shuo, and he pronounced every word clearly and cautiously.
Cao Shuo fell silent for an instant, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous arc. The weather was sunny, the wind was smooth, and under the soft sun, Cao Shuo stared at Chang Mingda's slitted eyes, and something was brewing.
Everyone knows that this refusal is actually a kind of rebellion, a violation of Cao Shuo's wishes.
It was obviously irrational for a newcomer to dare to make such a move, so the people around him held their breath and watched a good show.
"Give me a reason, boy. Your reason just now does not convince me, after all, this is a place to listen to the primordial call of the human heart, a place of great soul freedom. ”
Chang Mingda was slightly stunned, the reason why he paused was attracted by a few adjectives behind Cao Shuo, those words obviously did not apply here, so he thought about whether it was symbolic for a moment. Soon, his eyes appeared on such a face, staring at Cao Shuo like a secret peeping: "I think, there will be no shortage of newcomers here, and I also have a time when I become an old man, rather than dissecting the other party thoroughly now, it is better to leave a face and gradually see it in the future, so it is good for everyone." ”
"Excellent! Very good! Cao Shuo nodded again and again, constantly looked at the lawyer a few times and said, "There is room for a good one, I just hope that you are a useful person, my generosity has always been only for capable people." ”
"Thank you, sir." Chang Mingda's facial expression is stiff and rigid, no different from a mask at all, so it is understandable that people here admit his mistake. His flickering gaze at this point indicated some kind of thought.
"Now that we've had a good time with the newcomers, even though we've never known each other in our lives, being here at least shows that we have something in common! That is, we are all outcasts of fate! Although the foundlings have lost too much, the right to enjoy life is one of the few rights we hold, knowing its rarity and knowing its preciousness, let's start this annual carnival! ”
Cao Shuo is like a genius speaker, his provocative tone is high-pitched and loud, and he waves his arms and shouts loudly.
With Cao Shuo's shouting, the mood of the crowd instantly soared, like a faintly thriving flame, which burned the moment it met the dry firewood.
Looking at such a carnival-like madness, Lu Shaozhen and Chang Mingda glanced at each other, and they both sensed the gradual approach of danger from each other's eyes.
Chang Mingda's hands clenched slightly, and he seemed a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Although Lu Shaozhen was solemn, he still asked more.
Chang Mingda said: "There is a difference between this and the gangsters, the gangsters pay attention to the use of strict rules and clear punishment means to make people's hearts cruel, and the only thing that can be seen here is indulgence, the only rule is the support of Cao Shuo and others, in addition to human nature is like a sprawling swamp that continues to expand and swallow until all conscience is dying." ”
