The elevator is a bit complicated to use, but in a word, you have to have the right permission to go to the right place, the commoners can't go to the aristocracy, the middle class can't reach the world of the rulers, but the people at the top are willing to deign to go to the lower level, and it doesn't hurt.

Lamia said: "I thought I would have to work your business, but I didn't expect it to be solved smoothly, which is really unexpected. ”

I said, "From this you can see the excellence of the black coffin, and it always welcomes people with outstanding talents with open arms." ”

Lamia shook her head and said, "It's better for you to take it easy, in the eyes of ninety-nine percent of the Rangers, you are nothing, and you are an outsider, and the vast majority of skyscraper residents look down on this kind of person." The three of us naturally know how good you are, but... But they ....."

She didn't say any more, but it was all in plain sight.

When I heard this, I was deeply saddened, thinking that I would have to be blinded for a long time, and that I would have to go to great lengths to get ahead, and I couldn't help but feel how unfair my suffering had been over the years—as long as the people of heaven were born in heaven, the starting point was much higher than that of us visitors from hell, and perhaps in their eyes, I was spread with plagues, flowing with viruses, and carrying original sin. I'm just afraid that it's not as good as a pet dog, a pet cat, and everyone is equal in any era, but I'm afraid it's just empty talk.

Lamia said, "You go directly to the office on the thirtieth floor, I have to go back to the Ranger camp to report on my work, it may take half a day." You can take advantage of this time to wander around the black coffin and be careful not to take the wrong elevator. ”

Betty said, "Mr. Fishbone, don't make a mess, I beg you." ”

I asked rhetorically, "Do I look like the kind of person who causes trouble?" You're prejudiced, Miss Betty, and don't forget that I'm also a well-read and gentle person. "To prove my words, I bowed slightly to her, and the etiquette was as good as possible.

Betty laughed, "It looks pretty good, but first, you have to get rid of your petty theft, or we'll have to say goodbye if you get caught once." ”

I replied, "Petty theft? I have no idea what you're talking about. Contemptible people are the most obedient and law-abiding is a portrayal of my life. ”

Salvatore said, "I'll lend you some gold dollars, you buy a good dress first, I remember there are many nice fashion stores on the thirty-second floor." ”

He mentioned Jin Yuan, which made me smile slightly, and I said, "Contemptible people have their own clever plans, don't worry about you, brother." ”

Salvatore and Betty said in unison, "Don't steal!" Absolutely not! ”

I said, "That's nonsense, I'm too lazy to refute you." ”

Lamia gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, "There are clocks on every floor, so be sure to go to the long street of Normandy on the 40th floor at half past seven in the evening." ”

I asked, "My dear sir, I will arrive on time, what are your arrangements?" ”

Lamia said, "There are professional people there to marry us, and after that, you can live with me." ”

I trembled with ecstasy as I watched Lamia, Betty, and Salvatore step out of the elevator.

I have no right to complain compared to those who died in the wilderness and under the butcher's knife, compared to those who have almost attained "eternal life" in the waterless villages, because I am already almost happy. I will climb up silently and swiftly, so that the inhabitants of the Black Coffin will know who I am, and that today I am not a lowly man, but a great hero, a great conqueror who has come among them.

The elevator descended to the 30th floor, and I was able to get a glimpse of the middle class world of this skyscraper, which can also be described as a typical 30th to 50th floor.

Just like the commercial plaza of the prosperous city in the last century before the end of the world, the corridors have replaced the long streets, which are still criss-crossed; Two-storey rooms have replaced the shops, and they are still bustling and colorful.

The first floor of those rooms is some shops or offices, and the second floor is a residence. From time to time, around the corner of the street, there is a small park, or a fountain tree, which adds some signs of vitality to this floor.

If I had ever depicted a beautiful skyscraper in a phenomenon, my imagination would have been dwarfed by the fact that I had witnessed it with my own eyes. The impact of the real scene was unparalleled, and I was stunned and deceitful.

The shoppers in the hallway looked at me with disdain. I woke up suddenly, and soon found the office where the documents were handled, and almost as soon as I stepped into the room, I felt several questioning glances, and the owners of those eyes were like judges who swept me from head to toe, so that there was another layer of anxiety and disgust in the questioning, as if I had been labeled as "stranger, stranger, and low-level".

One of the strongest of the building's security guards walked up to me, flashed his pistol at his waist, and said, "Hands up!" ”

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, forget it, endure it for a while, I can't do it? I said, "I'm a ranger!" ”

The security guard sneered: "Coincidentally, so am I!" But I've never seen you. Listen to your accent, from outside the black coffin? ”

Language, the fire of wisdom that distinguishes the essence of people, it is precisely because there is language in the world that there will be a gap between people, and there is a distinction between superior and inferior.

I replied, "Did you hear the news?" I'm the new man who worked with Lamia to find Yune, Yune, the moving fortress, the revival of humanity..."

A treacherous flash flashed in the Ranger's eyes, and he said, "What? I haven't heard of it. ”

I suddenly realized that he wasn't unaware, he was just pretending to be stupid and wanted to take this opportunity to give me a kick down and get revenge on me... Well.... Snatch their bosses. He said, "I repeat, get on your knees with your hands behind your head and let me search!" ”

I said angrily: "Hugh is nonsense! How can I allow you to insult my dignity? Have you heard Stein's orders? ”

The Ranger said, "I don't know what you're talking about, and you don't do it?" ”

I said, "Have you ever thought about it?" If you have sinned against me, you have sinned against Lamia. Stern uses you as a scapegoat, he can do nothing, deny it, you can't pass the buck. You can't really do anything to me, but Lamia has a way to make you suffer, think about it, isn't that the truth? ”

The Ranger's Adam's apple rolled a little, a drop of sweat streaked across his temples, he took a step back and said, "I.... Well.... Wait, I've got to check your records, what's your name? ”

He cringed visibly, oh, Lamia, my sweetheart, my wife, my patronus, let them say that I am a soft rice eater, I would rather choke to death by soft rice, than to be coldly confronted by this group of incompetent people, and make it difficult in every way.

He already knew, and I said, "Don't pretend to be garlic." As he spoke, he pointed to the monitoring device above, and the indicator light of the monitoring device was green, indicating that everything was fine, and I was not an illegal intruder, because he had already opened the permission for me.

The Ranger did not dare to meet my eyes, he bowed his head and stepped away, saying, "Yes, sir, you can go in." ”

I asked, "What's your name?" First - Birth——? ”

The muscles on his face tensed and he said, "I.... My name is.... Kawafushi, sir. ”

I said, "Very well, I remember, but I can forget this, you know what I mean?"

He looked left and right and saw a long line in the office hall, all low-rise residents, staring at us. He whispered to me, "Sir, I can arrange for you to get your certificate in advance, this is my meager heart, and I wish you and Chief Lamia a happy new marriage." ”

These people in line are all sad and trembling, they are the lowest of the skyscrapers, they are the low-class laborers, they are the hard-working residents, they work all day and all night for the narrow place to stay, they exhaust their physical strength, give up their dignity to beg and beg, so as to avoid the cruelty of the last days of the outside world. They grasped a loose stone on the cliff and pinned all their hopes on it rather than let go.

Because they know what's out there.

They were as anxious as Lamia's father, and like me, they were trying their best for a slim dream. But they are different from me, they don't have Lamia, they don't have a lack of money, they don't have a bank account, they don't have the ability to survive in these last days.

I shook my head and said, "No need, I can wait, I understand your kindness, and we will have to take care of each other in the future." ”

Chuan Fu smiled: "Exactly, exactly, sir, we don't know each other if we don't fight." "Shook hands with me and I got in line.

When I was done, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. Kawafushi was already acquainted with me, and he showed me the way, and I found the Mercury Trading Company in a small, almost inconspicuous alley. The firm is adept at handling such funds from unknown sources and guaranteeing the confidentiality of its customers.

I saw the account, I saw the number, and in an instant, I was so weak that even drinking the water of Amun did not make me feel so unreal. In the past, 20 million was just a number, but now that I have a preliminary understanding of the price of skyscrapers, this number has taken on extraordinary significance.

The man behind the counter asked, "Sir?" You okay? ”

I wept and said, "I wish you a happy future as much as I am now, friend." ”

I wanted to hug him and kiss him, but he thought I was going to grab the money and took out a gun and pointed it at me, and I experienced the taste of encountering the rich.

Oh? Do you hate the rich? What a coincidence, what a coincidence, I am rich.

I walked out of the business house, the sun was so warm, I haven't seen such a good sun in a long time. Hey? It's strange, how can there be a sun in a skyscraper? Is it my hallucination?

Maybe that's what it feels like to have a dream come true.

A man walked up to me, I didn't care who he was, I just gave him a bear hug and said, "Life has reached this realm, what more can you ask for?" Alas, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. ”

The man also patted me and said mysteriously, "Sir, have you made a fortune?" ”

I said, "Yes, son, if you call me Daddy, I'll give you a gold dollar." "I was so agitated that I thought I was a mortal priest, and I had a lot of life.

He whispered, "Okay, Dad, I have a better idea, I have a big bungalow of 30 floors, a total of 200 square meters, do you want to buy it?" The floors here are excellent, and there is a lot of room for future appreciation, and you know that if humanity is really revived in the future, this is the City of Origin, and the house price will increase more than a thousand times. ”

I looked at him, and he was almost as emaciated, as pale, as ghostly as I was.

I asked, "Really?" What is your name? ”

He said, "You... Call me Mask, sir. ”
