Chapter 6: Junction City
Old man Luo's big dead fish eyes looked at Xingluo like that, so that Xingluo couldn't see what he was thinking at all. After a long minute or so, Starfall was worried that the old guy would do something to himself with the scalpel in his hand.
In just one minute, the feeling of powerlessness on Starfall's body quickly disappeared, and Starfall felt that he could stand up again, but it was only able to stand up, and it seemed that it would take some time to run.
"I should be able to go, come out with me. ”
Xingluo turned his weak brain, thinking about how to delay, Old Man Luo said suddenly, stood up and walked straight to the door, and put the liver back into the original solution.
Xingluo thought about it, got up from the bed, followed behind Old Man Luo not far away, and soon passed through the claustrophobic gate and appeared in the corridor sprinkled with sunlight, through a few carved window lattices, and even could see the wide road outside and the pedestrians who walked by from time to time.
Old man Luo didn't speak, dragging his bloated figure but walking very quickly, not at all like an old man's pace, and he didn't seem to be worried about Xingluo getting lost.
Xingluo looked at the wide street outside, squinted his eyes, and continued to follow Old Man Luo, and within a few corners, he came to an empty courtyard.
The yard is not small and clean, and in the corner of the yard, there is a simple stable. The stables were now empty, and in the middle of the yard a gray-black horse-drawn carriage was parked with all sorts of transparent bottles and cans, containing various types of body tissue, most of which did not appear to be human.
"Here, stick this on your face, even those two gatekeepers won't recognize you, as long as you don't take the initiative to show your identification. ”
Old Man Luo took it out of his arms, took out a half-finger-long tape and put it in Xingluo's hand. Starfall looked at the band-aid-like thing in his hand strangely, tried to stick it to his face, and then tore it off again, except for the pain of the skin being torn off a little, he didn't feel any change on his face.
"This thing can still stay sticky even if you tear it 10,000 times, but it's better to stick it on your face when you're there. ”
Old man Luo had already climbed into the carriage at this time and patted the seat beside him. "Come on, I'll take you through the process, and you'll help deliver the goods later." ”
Xingluo casually put the tape on his cheek, climbed into the carriage and sat next to Old Man Luo, and the carriage quickly drove out of the backyard and appeared on the wide street, making the snow creak.
"This is the junction city, located at the junction of two wonderful countries, Zhongqing Mountain and Huiri Kingdom. This is also the origin of the name of the border city, because of the special location, the two strange countries are okay, and it has become a neutral place in a sense, and it is under the jurisdiction of the two countries. ”
The carriage walked down the wide street unhurriedly, and Old Man Luo actually introduced the city to Xingluo, as if he was really treating an amnesiac patient.
When Old Man Luo spoke, he casually took out a mirror from the carriage and handed it to Xingluo, who hurriedly took it, but found that he was the same as before, but he had a dark yellow tape on his face.
"This old man is kidding me?......"
Looking at the inexplicable smile on the face of the old man Luo next to him, Xingluo frowned, suspecting that the old guy was fooling himself with a piece of torn duct tape......
Xingluo scratched the tape on his face, and looked at the swollen old guy next to him very strangely, "Two strange countries?
Xingluo asked Old Man Luo curiously, but he didn't tear off the tape on his face, this thing is not too ugly. Although this old guy is indeed a little ugly, very ugly, but I still have to respect it a little.
The streets are flanked by uneven buildings, but they are quite disciplined and obviously planned. Sitting in the carriage and walking in it, Xingluo felt as if he had returned to ancient times, with strong Chinese style, red bricks and green tiles, gray walls of Zhumen, and towering buildings and several pavilions in the distance.
"It's natural to be wonderful, the country only recruits handsome men and women, and the local residents will be deported as long as they don't match their appearance, even if the talent is high and the potential is great, the country will not accept it. The country will also absorb young talents, but the only criterion for their selection is that they are not beautiful or ugly, and they will be rejected as ugly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a beauty pageant, and it is even more exaggerated. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Luo seemed to smile happily, but Xingluo frowned.
"Do you think I can go?"
Returning to the age of seventeen or eighteen, Xingluo felt that he was alive again, looking at his white and tender self in the mirror, Xingluo felt as if he had the strength to fight.
"People, always have to be a little self-aware. If you're not thick-skinned enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off the stage by then. ”
Old man Luo smiled hesitantly, seemingly disapproving with Xingluo's appearance.
"Self-knowledge is only available to ugly guys like you......" Xingluo complained secretly.
"There is a group of neurotics on Zhongqing Mountain, who love and love all day long, I don't know how they survived until now...... The world is just a moment of peace stolen under brutality. ”
Old Man Luo sighed and said, his bloated figure looked more and more lifeless. Xingluo didn't answer, and Old Man Luo was speechless, and the carriage walked on the street for a long time.
During the period, a few pedestrians saw the carriage and greeted Old Man Luo, Old Man Luo nodded reluctantly with an ugly face, and the pedestrians didn't seem to care, the carriage quickly passed through the gate where Xingluo entered, and the two gatekeepers were still on duty, but they did not throw the slightest attention to Xingluo.
"That's the heart of Junction City, the Boundary City Prison. Each president is alternately or jointly appointed by the Nakaqingshan and Huiri countries, and is also the administrator of the border city and its affiliated areas. As for us, we are sending these students the materials they need for experiments, all kinds of demonic biological structures. ”
Waiting until he could see a huge wall, and the towering buildings behind the wall, Old Man Luo pointed to the front and said.
"I know a vice president and a few supervisors, as long as there is no problem with the quality of our goods, no one will embarrass you when you deliver goods in the future. But I'm all clearly marked, don't think about taking kickbacks. ”
Old Man Luo turned his ugly face and said to Xingluo with obvious warnings.
