Chapter 139: The Only Way to Leave
"Putting one's life in the hands of someone you don't know at all...... It's all about luck and fate. ā
"From that time on, we were ready to die."
"I've heard that not only do you get a separate living space for participating in capsule games, but it's also the only place where members of the "Dragon Pusher Movement" are responsible for maintaining law and order. It's safe for girls like us. And my mother died at that time, so my sister took me to the gambling game...... If I hadn't met Zhao Zhuo, I'm afraid I would have died by now. In fact, my life was given by him. If he leaves, I'll be executed by the gambling game. ā
In the quiet living room, Qi Yaya stood in front of the bedroom door with his back to Shen Chan, and said the words he had always wanted to say in his heart, but it was a pity that these words were originally intended for Zhao Zhuo, but in the end they fell into Shen Chan's ears.
"Zhao Zhuo, he's always wanted to get out of the quagmire - in fact, anyone who lives here wants to leave this place. So I knew that if there was any chance he could really leave, he wouldn't miss it. According to what he said, that Professor Yue Jing had only promised to take him away. And the success rate of that is also very large. But he still thinks about you and me, and wants to take us with him. You know, when I heard him say that just now, I was really excited and happy...... Since coming into this world, he has been the best person to me except for my mother and sister. If you follow such a person, I think you will be very happy wherever you go. Since I'm going to die no matter what, it's best to follow him. With a bit of luck, we were both able to leave this place. Even if you're unlucky, you can die with him...... It's also good. ā
Qi Yaya, who said these words, spoke in a calm tone, and even had a relaxed taste that was not pretended, which fell into Shen Chan's ears, and he also had some special feelings. She took a slow breath, looked at Qi Yaya's back and asked, "You like him, don't you?" ā
The girl standing in front of the door did not hesitate this time, and nodded very seriously and vigorously: "Of course." Anyone like him will like it. I don't know how lucky I am to be able to meet someone as nice as him in a place like the Mudmarsh. You may not know it, but my sister and I have lived here since we were children, and we have seen a lot of those terrible things. Because there is no living space, no specific rules and security, the quagmire area is very chaotic. Every day, there are people fighting and bleeding, every day and every day, people bullying the weak, we women can only be bullied here. The people here can't live on their own, so how can they have extra compassion to give to others - good people have to live on their own first, right? ā
These words...... Why did you say it to me? Looking at Qi Yaya softly, Shen Chan asked softly.
"I said it because you asked." The girl looked back at her with a smile, then pushed open the door and chuckled in.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense when no one asks me...... I always feel stupid to say it like that. ā

After talking with the two old men in the blind man's room for a whole afternoon, Yue Jing said goodbye to the two old men unsatisfactorily, found Zhao Zhuo and asked the other party to send him back.
"Life here is good, do you want to consider staying?" Looking at Yue Jing's dirty appearance, the young man who had been in a somewhat depressed mood couldn't help but tease.
"Nope. I don't have the same life as Xiaoqiang. Yue Jing shuddered, waved his hand and said.
Zhao Zhuo took him out of the apartment area and slowly went up the underground stairs: "What did you say to those two old guys?" Why do you have to meet them? ā
"It's not been a very quiet time in the Confederation. The Bing faction and the Ren faction are at odds over the upcoming presidential election. There are even some signs of going out of line. I didn't care about any of that, but I suddenly heard from you that they were still alive and could be contacted, so I came over on a whim to take a look. The two of them were the backbone of the Bing faction at the beginning, and the other was the core figure of the Ren faction, not to mention the influence, the vision and mind were extremely powerful. I listened to their opinions, which was very helpful in our attitude towards the Book School. "Maybe it's because Zhao Zhuo is the heir of Li Xiudao, or maybe it's because he knows that the young man can't understand this, Yue Jing didn't hide the purpose of his visit to the two old men from Zhao Zhuo. Very patiently explained.
Zhao Zhuo really didn't have much interest in the affairs of these Bingshuren factions - and he didn't have that qualification. So when I heard that it was these things, I didn't plan to continue to ask about them. After being silent for a while, he finally said something about Shen Chan: "About our departure from the quagmire area - now it has become two people." Shen Chan had a safer way to leave. ā
Yue Jing was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "That's it." That's good news, the smaller the number, the higher the chance of escaping. ā
"Hmm."
"If you are revealed, don't expect me to save you. Even if you are the successor of Teacher Xiu, you can't do it. We will dissociate ourselves from you as soon as possible. Yue Jing once again admonished, "I think with your character, you shouldn't do this kind of thing to pit your teammates when you are dying." ā
Zhao Zhuo patted his chest: "Don't worry." If betraying you keeps me alive, I'll do it. ā
Regarding the young man's straightforwardness and unpretentiousness, Yue Jing admired and admired it, but also couldn't laugh or cry: "I told them about you leaving." So if you have time, you can go to them again. Tell someone in advance or something. ā
"Can you set a date for leaving?" Thinking of the most important question, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask.
"The only way to get to the outside world is through an underground tunnel. Except for the Governor's Palace, where people travel to and from other areas, no one can leave the quagmire on weekdays. If you want to leave here, you have to arrange a tunnel train in advance from the Doge's Palace. And this requires authorization from the Governor's Palace...... Although I am a member of the Calligraphy School, if I want to leave here, I must apply to the research institute after the completion of the actual yĆ n to get the order. In the gloomy passageway, Yue Jing whispered about the preparations needed to leave the Mire District and the important role the Mire Governor's Mansion played in this matter.
