Chapter 505: The City of Sin
[Seventh-Order Weapon: Sword of the Abyss]
[From the starry sky, produced by the Hastings family, using a new forging process, expensive materials, exquisite workmanship, can be called a work of art in weapons]
The introduction of this sword is simple, with only a few words.
From the outside, it really is a work of art.
The sword body is narrow and long, the forging lines on the surface are extremely delicate, like flowing clouds in the sky, and the sharp blade is glowing with a faint metallic glow, every inch of it looks extremely perfect, and it has to be admired.
Of course, in Su Xia's mind, any kind of weapon is a work of art, after all, killing is one of the most beautiful arts in the world.
He slowly grasped the hilt of his sword, and his hand was cold, like December ice.
At the end of the hilt, there is a sign of [Black Gold Rose], which is none other than that of the Hastings family.
"Yes, it's a good sword."
Su Xia waved it lightly, the weight of the sword was suitable, as if it was tailor-made for him.
This thing has a relationship with him.
He put away his long sword, turned to Hal behind him and ordered: "Howl, I want to use psionic potion, I may be asleep for half a day to a day or so, you close the entrance to the wreckage, don't let anyone in, even if it's an acquaintance, wait until I wake up." β
"Understood!"
Little Hal did his duty and immediately cordoned off every area of the wreckage, making sure that not a single ant could climb in.
After that, Susha entered a break room deep in the wreckage.
He closed the door and pulled out a large pile of mid-grade psionic potions.
These potions, all of which he had refined from psionic pearls, were of high purity and excellent quality.
Looking at these potions, Su Xia took a deep breath and slowly lay down on the soft bed in the lounge.
"Hoo ......"
He picked up a potion, aimed it at his arm, and slammed it down.
Soon, a wave of vertigo hits, and the world around them becomes distorted and dreamy again, full of unreality.
The bed below seemed to turn into a lake, wrapping Su Xia's body, taking him little by little, sinking into the world of endless darkness.
I don't know how long it took, Su Xia vaguely heard a voice.
"Doctor, Doctor......"
The voice gradually became clearer, as if it had broken through some barrier and reached his ears.
In addition, there are some noisy sounds around, such as the low coughing sound, the friction sound of the track, the shaking sound of the carriage, etc., which sounds a little chaotic.
Su Xia slowly opened his eyes, the darkness in front of him faded, and the picture became clear from blur.
He was on an old tram.
The tram was dilapidated, rusty inside, with all sorts of small advertisements plastered on the roof and sides, dirty and shaky seats, crunching parts as if they were going to fall apart at any moment.
There were more than a dozen passengers on board.
Some coughed, some whispered, and some looked out the window in silence.
Su Xia was one of the people who looked out the window in silence.
Not surprisingly, he once again hallucinates Dr. Agar.
The face of the Doctor was reflected in the old yellowed glass of the tram, he was not young, he was middle-aged, his beard was unkempt, his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and his hair was disheveled.
He was silent, in the twilight.
In him, there is no shadow of the genius doctor who once traveled the starry sky.
What happened?
Su Xia couldn't help but wonder, what would make Dr. Agar become like this?
"Doctor, Doctor......"
Beside him, the voice of a female robot was heard, it was Dr. Agar's mechanical assistant.
Dr. Agar turned his head slowly, his eyes tired, and his voice hoarse, "What's wrong?" β
"Doctor, we're about to get there." The female robot gently reminded.
"Okay."
Dr. Agar turned his head and continued to look out the window, his eyes downcast, as if he had a lot on his mind.
Su Xia still couldn't control herself in the hallucination, so she could only follow the doctor's gaze and go through everything in the hallucination.
It was raining outside the window, icy rain falling from the hazy sky.
The outside world is very dark and somewhat depressing.
"What a strange world."
Through the glass window, Su Xia saw isolated and dilapidated high-rise buildings.
The main mode of transportation in this world seems to be the tram.
Countless old and rusty trams shuttle between the tall buildings, like long snakes composed of broken copper and iron, leaving unique mechanical traces under the gloomy sky.
The icy rain sticks to the car windows, blurring the flickering neon advertisements on the tall buildings, and the colors are mixed together.
I don't know if it's because of the rain, but the whole world has a chill, as if covered with a layer of cold tones from old-fashioned science fiction movies.
Knock ββ!
"Platform 6 has arrived."
Suddenly, the horn of the train made a cold, mechanical sound, and it sounded emotionless.
The speed of the train slowed down and stopped in front of an old platform in the cold rain.
On the platform outside, there were a few passengers who had been waiting for a long time, all wearing similar old-fashioned gray and black jackets, standing silent in the rain and lights, like lonely shadows.
Dr. Agar was wearing similar clothes, and he lifted his hood behind him, covered his messy hair, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly stepped out of the tram.
Whew......
Outside, the cold wind was blowing, and the temperature was very low.
The female robot walked silently beside him, letting the rain fall on her alloy shell.
Out of the platform, there are old high-rise buildings outside, no green vegetation can be seen, only a variety of advertisements, either presented on rusty advertising screens, or projected in the gray sky, the colors are chaotic, giving people a very strange patchwork beauty.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and they were all silent, silently walking in the cold rain.
Su Xia noticed that many people are reformers, and the degree of transformation is not low.
Mo Yo walked for more than ten minutes, and there were fewer high-rise buildings on both sides of the street.
The roads began to become potholed and dilapidated, and low houses came into view.
Ahead is a garbage-like old town.
Su Xia could only think of the word "garbage", because there was nothing more apt than these two words.
Many of the houses were cobbled together from mechanical junk, and he saw roofs welded with chariot shells, and strange doors made of spaceship hatches, with all sorts of parts, modules, and shells everywhere.
Colorful electronic lights flickered in many of the rooms, and there were even flickering tubes, which seemed to be decorative, adding a different kind of shattered feeling to the rusty area.
It's strange in this area.
Even the street lamps on the street are bizarre.
The first street lamp Su Xia saw was made up of a switch, solar panels, battery modules, a tattered robot head, and a rusty metal pole.
The robot's head seemed to have been shattered by some kind of large-caliber bullet, and a small part of it was missing, and there was a large gap in the upper left of the head, which allowed the jumbled wiring inside.
But the glowing module in its head turned out to be normal.
Therefore, the residents of this area connected the wiring of its light-emitting module separately, connected it to the battery module and solar panels, and finally welded it to a metal pole, and then fixed it on the side of the street to become a street lamp.
When the switch is pressed, the eyes of the robot's head glow, illuminating the broken road ahead.
It was the first time Su Xia had seen such a rough and simple design.
"What a strange place."
Continuing on, Susha saw more strange things made from mechanical garbage.
There are a lot of weird mechanical stray cats and dogs running around on the side of the road, their bodies rotten, some purely welded with the skin of iron buckets, making a clattering sound when they run, and occasionally dropping two pieces of rust from their bodies.
The street signs are very vivid, and at each fork in the road, there will be a broken mechanical broken arm pointing in a different direction, the rusty shell on the surface of the broken arm is lifted, and several gray-black lines extend out, connected with a long strip of display, and the display screen will give the name of the street in that direction.
These mechanical severed arms are clearly high-tech prosthetics, but they are used in this kind of place.
Su Xia wondered if there was a bunch of garbage guys who liked to open treasure chests.
"Meow ......"
A rusty robotic kitten suddenly walked up to the doctor's lap, rubbed against his trouser leg, and then rolled to the ground, limb up, as if trying to be petted.
But the doctor didn't stop and walked straight ahead.
The female robot paused, smiled, reached out to pick up the kitten, and gently stroked the rusty little head.
The ears on the kitten's head had broken off more than half of them, and the crack was a dark red rust, and the remaining half had been corroded by the rust with a few small holes.
After some more distance, a strange-looking structure appeared on the right side of the road.
It looks like a building, but it looks like a crashed spaceship.
There is a bright light at the entrance to the building, and there are many colorful and chaotic graffiti on the surface.
More than a dozen stout steel beams are stuck diagonally in the dirt, and the other end is welded to the surface of the building, as if to prop up the building and keep it from falling apart.
"Is this a restaurant?" Su Xia smelled a fragrance, it was the smell of tomato beef stew, which he was familiar with.
The Doctor walked straight into the strange building, walking through a corridor that resembled the ship's internal passage, and into the depths of the building.
It is indeed a restaurant with more than a dozen tables inside.
The dining tables are fixed to the ground, similar to the design of some ships.
At this time, there were no diners in the restaurant, and the lean proprietor sat next to the kitchen, with sallow skin, a pair of small round glasses, and slightly squinted eyes, reading the newspaper in his hand.
γCity Evening Newsγ
At the top of the newspaper, these words are printed in dark yellow.
Seeing these words, Su Xia was suddenly stunned.
It turned out to be here!
Exiled Planet, the capital of sin, a city full of interstellar criminals!
He was at the bottom of the sea, chatting with Sarah, the intelligent butler of the submarine, and learned that Dr. Agar had been exiled to a planet, but managed to escape.
"No wonder there is so much mechanical and electronic waste, this kind of planet is not only exiled prisoners, but also discarded garbage, and prisoners only deserve to live with garbage......"
Susha thought of Sarah's description of this planet.
Not only exiled planets, but also garbage planets.
If you want to survive here, you must have superb garbage picking skills, at least some basic mechanical knowledge, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
Everything here was built by interstellar criminals out of garbage.
Even the tall buildings, billboards, neon signs, trams, tracks, etc., are recast from garbage.
The whole planet is a prison made of garbage!
While Susha was pondering, Dr. Agar had already walked across from the boss and asked in a deep voice, "Is my meal ready?" β
The boss glanced up at him, then slowly put down the newspaper and said, "It's done, come with me." β
He got up without hurry, his legs seemed to be a little inconvenient, and he limped towards the back kitchen.
Dr. Agar and the female robot follow him.
The two sides walked one after the other, walked through the back kitchen, and then walked into a dark metal passageway.
At the end of the passage, there is a round alloy hatch.
"Smack!"
The boss pressed the switch, and the hatch slowly opened, revealing a mechanical staircase spiraling downward.
His eyes were calm, he held the handrail on the side of the stairs, and walked down slowly, Mo Yue walked down more than ten meters, came to the depths of the ground, and then opened a hatch.
"Come in, here's what you want."
He spoke, and walked inside.
Dr. Agar followed him into the chamber as well.
It was dark in the cabin, with only a few blue light bars lit around.
This cabin is very large, it seems to be a storage compartment, and in the center of the cabin, there is something covered with a black cloth, Mo is about forty meters long, cylindrical, and more than ten meters in diameter, and it is impossible to see what it is from the outside.
"Smack!"
The boss pressed the switch on the rest of the lights in the cabin, and the whole cabin instantly lit up.
Then, he walked to the center of the cabin, reached out and grabbed the black cloth, and tugged at it vigorously.
With a swipe, the black cloth was torn off by him.
And the things covered under the black cloth were also completely presented in front of Su Xia's eyes.
"That's ......"
Su Xia's gaze froze, staring at that thing tightly.
That turned out to be a huge engine!
I saw the boss patting the tail of the engine and said indifferently: "B16 overdrive engine, a product that has been eliminated by the Eurolock Company for hundreds of years, I spent a lot of money to let the employees of the garbage transfer spaceship wrap this thing in a pile of garbage and bring it over, and the power it converts is enough for you to rush out of this planet, as for the energy required by the engine, you have to figure it out yourself." β
"Yes!" Dr. Agar replied.
"After you leave, don't forget about our deal." The boss said lightly.
"Hmm."
Dr. Agar stepped forward slowly, looking up at the behemoth in front of him, a ripple in his tired eyes.
Although it is a product that has been eliminated for hundreds of years, it still works, and it is useful.
It is the only one that can get the Doctor out of the sin planet that binds him!
"From now on, I am no longer a citizen of the Empire, just an interstellar wanderer." The Doctor whispered that escaping the planet would mean escaping from prison.
"Doctor, after we get out, as long as we collect enough evidence and explain it to the Imperial Court, we should be able to restore our citizenship." The female robot said mildly.
"No, you're wrong, my friend."
The Doctor shook his head slightly, his eyes bloodshot and a hint of madness seemed to lie in the depths of his tiredness, and muttered, "The Imperial Court is just a tool to help those in power manage the citizens at the bottom, and it never provides justice to people like us. β
The female robot was stunned, this was not consistent with the Imperial Court described in her profile, and even touched her underlying logic, causing her to have some logical conflicts.
She hesitated and said, "Then we ......."
"We need to break this false world and seek a piece of the truth."
