Chapter 47: The Falling Meteor (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Fengqi Wutong 626 Feeding~)
The barber and Morgan were walking through the dimly lit alleyways of Downtown.
Neither the Blue Robin nor the Pony possess night vision, and in order to keep up with the two in front of them, the barber has pulled down his night vision goggles and Morgan is following closely at his side. Relying on the light emitted by the factory machines, the barber can barely be seen.
She didn't even know where she was going, but she didn't feel fear walking in such a dimly lit place.
She wished that this moment could be extended indefinitely...
The rhythmic noise of the factories on both sides is mixed with the equally rhythmic sound of the tide overhead......
"Once you get used to it, it makes you feel at ease.
Morgan said suddenly: "It gives a sense of tranquility.
"You mean the noise of the factory?
Although Morgan's topic was sudden, the barber was the first to realize what she was going to say.
This tacit understanding with Morgan...... It's something he's just gotten for a short time.
"And the cry of the sea."
Morgan put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and whispered, "It seems like it's not bad to live here." ”
Hearing this, the barber fell silent.
He didn't know how he should answer...
He felt that whatever he said might break Morgan's heart; And the remaining half of the way they respond will hurt themselves.
"Do you remember," Morgan muttered, "I'm actually afraid of the dark." I was scared. ”
That's because the blue robin never goes out at night to be with her......
"It's good to be afraid of the dark."
The barber didn't look back, and said softly: "Good swimmers drown." It is safest to actively stay away from danger. ”
“…… That's pretty much what he said. ”
Morgan was a little helpless.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the more she chats with herself, the more she feels like the barber, the more she resembles "Lan Ge Gong compared to the kind of boyfriend who likes to be majestic, has a good face, and has a hard mouth, Lan Song Robin is more rational and he admits that he is not good at fighting, and his vision is very dim at night." So he never took Morgan out at night when Downtown could come at night at any time to commit a crime.
Because he knew very well that he couldn't protect Morgan. Lan Ge Robin and Morgan's father are responsible for not letting her go out at night.
Nights have always been the home of Downtown.
Anyway, there is no day or night in the lower town, and they can sleep all day and then come out at nightfall.
And in the second half of the night... Even the executive department is off work.
The few shift personnel stationed there were only to guard documents or protect the Enforcement Department building.
The company's executive department is not a policeman.
They strictly adhered to the attitude of taking a share of money and doing a job, and there was no possibility of risking their lives to go out on patrol at night.
If something happens at night, no one will come to save you.
But now, she was followed by the titular head of the lower city, the godfather.
"Now that I'm with 'The Godfather', I don't feel so scared."
“… It's better to be a little afraid. ”
The barber sighed again:
"I'm not a good person."
Although Morgan may not understand, the "godfather" is indeed not a good person.
Unlike Ultramarine, his stance is completely close to Downtown.
For example, what he's about to do...
They had been walking for more than two hours, and since they had left the curtain of ignorance, Morgan had only seen two people on the road.
I saw or heard fifteen or sixteen huge freight trucks whizzing by.
"The people of the lower town...... Is there so little? ”
Morgan was a little surprised: "Or are they all hiding?"
"Because they're sleeping.
The barber sighed helplessly: "The uncensored also have to sleep." ”
It's afternoon outside, and it's time for most of the people in Downtown to sleep. So there are no idle people.
Angels and the Executive Department usually go to the lower city after 5 p.m. The rest of the time is a surprise attack.
The reason is also simple...... Because Downtown is in the middle of the day, there are trucks carrying goods. After five o'clock is the end of work.
While some of it is unmanned and some of it is a pilot's jump control, there is certainly also a part of it that is a real person.
Normally, uncensored people in downtown wouldn't attack these trucks on their doorstep. Otherwise, the lower city will be surrounded by extremely intense encirclements, of course, there must have been some idiots and radicals, but they are usually killed by the strangled people. After all, the average uncensored person just wants to live in a different place, and they don't want to pay the price of their lives and risk the danger of causing war, but they also want to desperately raise the price of goods in Shangcheng by five percentage points.
Those who can do this are a little sick, and if the angels and the executive department damage these freight trucks, it will definitely not work.
After all, the executive department is a department that "puts the company's interests first", not to enforce justice. One of the reasons why the "civilians" in the lower city were able to escape the encirclement was precisely because once a certain area began to evacuate the freight trucks, or found that the freight trucks at the door had suddenly changed their routes, people were immediately sensitive and ready to run away.
Unlike Sogo...... Even at night, there are no trucks running around Uptown.
While uncensored people don't attack trucks in front of their homes, it's a different story in Uptown.
This can also be said to be a mutual choice.
People in Uptown go home before midnight. The rest of those who enjoy the nightlife will never leave the store they are staying in, and the uncensored people will give priority to looting and hijacking, which is the drunk who is alone, and the second is the little couple who comes out to find excitement.
It's easy to control while having money...... Even if they don't have money, they can kidnap and take away their family members who threaten them. Taking a step back, simply tying people up and sending them to the lower city is also productive.
For example, it can be used to shoot small videos of general taboos or special taboos, or it can be sold to black market doctors with its internal organs, or it can be handed over to mad scientists who have been expelled for doing forbidden experiments.
Even if the enforcement department receives a report, the most it means is "we know". It is impossible to go to the lower town and search for missing people aimlessly... It was a coincidence that I was able to meet at the time of the eradication of the organization. But they certainly won't take the initiative to look for it, because they can't find it at all.
There is no internet, no lights, no surveillance, no floating cars, and in most areas there are no phone calls or text messages. They took hammers and went to find people.
"Generally speaking, the difference between the work and rest of the downtown and upper towns is about ten hours. At around 9 a.m., people will feel at ease when the first trucks pass by their doorstep. ”
The barber explained.
Cargo trucks mean safety.
It is impossible for a company dog to bring losses to its owner...... So as long as Downtown doesn't attack trucks in Downtown, and doesn't attack high-end entertainment and dining facilities that are in the downtown area and there may be big people coming, they're always safe.
“… But what is that? ”
Morgan points to the sky, but in the barber's night vision goggles, he can't see anything.
Somewhat confused, he took off his night vision goggles.
Oddly enough, when the night vision goggles are removed...... But it was as if I saw a brilliant golden meteor, as if it had "risen from the sea", or it had fallen from the sky.
Not far ahead, however, a dark golden light of the same thickness rose from the ground, colliding with the meteor and colliding with it, without a violent collision or explosion...... Instead, it exploded into the air like fireworks, and the golden clouds slowly dispersed in the air, even illuminating a "sea".
“…… That's the power of holy rank. ”
The barber's gaze became serious: "But what is the other hair?" ”
Don't...... An angel launched a sneak attack?
But in that case, how can there be only one shot?
…… Something went wrong? ”
"Anyway, we'll have to go check it out first."
"Okay."
They looked at each other. The barber buttoned up the night vision goggles again, and the pace of the two of them that had been almost walking suddenly quickened a lot.
