Vika made it up the stairs leading to the basement collection room with ease.

Along the way, not even a single machine guard appeared. Vika then complained boldly: "It's not a good idea to put the collection room underground." It's so damp that it drips. Anything you put in it will make it hairy. She was already imagining a large pile of boxes full of contraband, with black-green moss and mold growing on them. And then.

Smack.

A drop of water dripped on her head and ran down her hair.

"Well, I'm too conservative, I don't think there's a dark river over this place."

Queenie was a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Hehe, it's just crooked.

Vika: "It's a common part of an adventure. But it's strange in your house, and you've built a collection room under the underground river. Aren't you afraid that the underground river will leak and ruin everything? ”

Queenie: "He doesn't have that concern. ”

"That's right. Because they have a short shelf life. A man's voice cut in suddenly.

"Who?" Vika immediately took Queenie behind her.

"Welcome to my estate, and since you're going to visit my collection, don't stop halfway. Please move on. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an iron fence fell twenty paces away. The way the two of them came from was blocked.

"Who are you?" Vika called.

"My guardian, Grandi." Queenie's face was expressionless.

"Mr. Grandi, I wonder if you have any misunderstanding? I am Miss Roches's teacher and have come here today for a home visit. ”

This time, Grandi didn't reply.

For the first time, Grandi's voice was very clear and loud in the hallway, apparently coming from a speaker-like device.

"Maybe we just happened to step on the trap." Vika comforted Queenie, "It's probably a recording, you see, he didn't reply to me." ”

"I was here a few days ago, and there was no such trap." Queenie was reluctant to move forward, and apparently she was jealous of this Grandi: "He's very cunning. If we keep going, we might even step on a trap. ”

"It's okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's go and see Mr. Grandy's collection. Vika hugged Queenie and the princess, "If you're afraid, just hide your head in my arms." ”

There was no fork in the passage, but as the two of them advanced, five iron doors had fallen behind them.

"Can you still hold on?" Vika asked.

"Yes."

Vika looked up, and the exit was close in sight.

......

"That's why you brought me here?" Vika asked.

"Yes."

Vika no longer hesitated, and immediately pressed the touch button in the palm of his left hand: "Sister Laura, are you there?" ”

Laura is a technician who is said to rarely go out in the field, and she can contact everyone in the group at the same time. Therefore, in the internship class, she emphasized that if it was an emergency and the team leader could not be contacted, she would call her immediately.

Laura's coquettish voice was immediately amplified several times in the underground collection: "Hey, little honey, what's wrong?" Are there any students who are disobedient? ”

"We're stuck in the ground by the dragon, with a river above our heads and black soil under our feet, and most importantly, I think you need to see this." As he spoke, Vika raised his hand and slowly panned, showing the scene of the collection room in front of Laura: "Send this to the others, they will come to save us, right?" ”

In front of the two are several suspended cages, each with two or three people in it. Most of them lie or lean on each other, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

"Oh God." Laura was amazed, "Aya told me before that you have the physique of the Wang family, and I laughed at her for being superstitious." Who knows, you went to work as a substitute teacher, and you encountered a big case that we couldn't touch in a few years. Vika, you are truly a god. ”

"I just did a casual home visit, and who knows, I was so lucky. Maybe next time you can lend me the money for coffee to buy a lottery ticket. Vika joked, and immediately said with a straight face, "Please, people's lives are at stake, please hurry up and help me call the paramedics, we are trapped underground, and the condition of these people does not look very good." ”

"I've locked your location, it's a private planet. Permission is required to enter. ”

"The one next to me is the owner of the planet, is that okay?" Vika crouched down and said to Queenie, "This is my colleague, you can call her Laura......"

"Call Aunt Laura. What's your name, kid? ”

"Queenie. Sanchez. ”

"Very good, can you open IBIA's access to the planet?"

Queenie nodded, only to find that the terminal showed that the holder was dead and the permissions were frozen.

"Laura, this ......."

"Wait, I'll check, it's Queenie. Sanchez, oh, you're Grandi's adopted daughter? She had just been spotted flying in a spaceship that had crashed into the woods less than three kilometers outside of the Sánchez estate, along with her teacher...... The reason was preliminarily determined to be caused by the teacher's illegal operation. ”

Vika immediately opened his terminal, which also showed that it was locked and unusable.

"Now, are we all dead?" Queenie asked.

"How is it possible, damn it should be the Grandi who wanted to kill us and didn't forget to let me take the blame." Vika grinds his teeth.

But all I thought was, "It's over, my meal ticket, Grandi, don't let me meet you." Otherwise, you'll be beaten so much that you can't take care of yourself! ”

So, Vika asked again, "Who is Grandi?" ”

Laura said: "A hot contender for the mayor of the Southeast District. Young, passionate, trend-savvy, and able to mingle with all ages. The key is that he is still good-looking, and he is known as the killer of new teachers in politics. ”

Oh, that is, did she accidentally snoop on the secrets of a future district chief? You must know that the Southeast Region of the Alliance is not one or several provinces in the original concept of the earth.

It's not one or two planets, it's a few large human habitable galaxies, and the surrounding star fields are all included.

"Your guardian is not small." Vika raised an eyebrow, "Looks like my luck is really ....... It sucks. ”

Laura: "No, dear, God knows how much the IBIA's top brass miss the chaotic times of the past, and the IBIA wouldn't have had enough budget if it wasn't backed up by big cases. With the frequency of you encountering two, no, three big cases a month, I think the director may meet you and give you an IBIA badge. ”

"Thank you for your comfort." Vika glared at the dead fish's eyes,

"By the way, you repeat the action just now, let me confirm the vital signs of the people at the scene."

"Okay." Vika stood in the center of the room, his footsteps moving slowly, his arm raised, and 360 swept the projection screen through the cage and every corner of the room.

"Oh, and the good news is that at the moment these kids are still alive. Yes, I'm not wrong, none of these children are more than twenty years old, and the youngest is only five years old. "Laura," the bad news is that there are several children who have inflammation and are having a fever that they need to be treated right away. ”。

"There's a medical bay upstairs." Queenie said, tugging at her hair again, "But we can't get out now." ”
