Chapter 41 Transported to Uptown
"It's a device that can take their lives." Luca said.
"Oh...... "Summer Night, I can roughly imagine how it works, "let's go to the next store." ”
As she walked out of the store, she asked:
"So in Debsota, people don't necessarily die if they're bankrupt, or they can find a way to violently escape their debts, or can they choose to be pets?"
"But either way, it's not that easy." Luca replied, "Most of the violent debt evasion ends like Graydie hitting your hands, as for being a pet, first of all, not everyone can get over the hurdle in their hearts; Secondly, the pet store will assess the value of the applicant and the debts she is carrying, and they will only accept it if it is profitable; Finally, as far as I know, with the exception of a small number of lucky ones, most of the pets don't last very long......"
"What's that?" The summer night suddenly raised its head and pointed to the sky.
In the sky ahead, a huge float boat is slowly descending, and the reason why Summer Night thinks it is a float boat is because it is completely the same style as the kind of float boat envisioned in the anime or game.
There are two ellipsoidal gas tanks above, and below is the shape of a ship, with short wings sticking out of each side of the ship, and an engine hanging from each wing. The three-leaf slurry is driven by the engine to rotate, propelling the floatboat forward.
Although judging from the physical common sense of the world before the crossing, those two not too big gas tanks could not lift such a large ship, but now, this behemoth is indeed floating above the lower city.
Summer nights suddenly came to interest.
"I'll take a look!"
She dropped a word and ran straight in the direction of the floatboat. It was the first time she had used this body to run, and it felt surprisingly light. Not only is she not tired at all, but her speed is also fast, and Xia Ye roughly estimated that she was running much faster than before the crossing.
"Hey ......"
Luca screamed behind her, but seeing that Summer Night was already ten meters away, she had no choice but to chase after her.
After a bit of acceleration, she finally caught up with the summer night and ran side by side with the other party. She turned her head sideways and said:
"That's a transport ship."
Summer Night was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Luca was answering her question, so she asked rhetorically as she ran, "What kind of ship?" ”
"Pets, transport to Uptown."
Hearing Luca's answer, Summer Night immediately remembered, the other party had told herself not long ago that the best pets here would be sent to Uptown on a regular basis.
"I see......," she said, unfolding her broomstick, "and I'd like to see it better." ”
With that, she got on her broomstick and, regardless of whether she would hit pedestrians, sped down the street.
……
In the blink of an eye, Summer Night flew to the end of the street, and the vision in front of her suddenly widened, and she flew into a huge square.
In the square, hundreds of pets lined up in several rows, waiting for the float boat to land. Around them, there stood dozens of witches with short staffs, and from the way they constantly glanced around, it was clear that they were supposed to be escort guards.
Caught off guard, Xia Ye saw that she was about to rush into one of the pets, and the guard standing in front of her had even raised her short staff, she hurriedly jumped up, put away her broom in mid-air, adjusted her posture, and finally, with a soft "click", the small black leather shoes with round heads and square heels stepped firmly on the stone slab of the square.
"I'm sorry." She held the brim of the witch's hat with one hand, bowed her head slightly, and bowed half to the guard in front of her: "Everything in the lower city is too new to me, I was a little too excited just now, and I almost bumped into you." ”
With that, she raised her head and smiled apologetically.
As the brim of her hat slowly raised, the guard saw a beautiful face, her clear crimson pupils like precious rubies, and the shallow smile on her lips like a hook, constantly tugging at her heartstrings.
Looking at Xia Ye's appearance, combined with what she just said, the guard suddenly realized: Could this not be the daughter of a young lady in Uptown who secretly ran to Downtown to play?
Although it is also possible that she has thought too much, but this kind of thing, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, the guard's brain turned quickly, and after a short second of hesitation, she held the brim of her hat, half-bowed, and saluted the summer night.
"It's okay, if I didn't hit you." After she finished speaking, she reminded again: "Xiacheng has always been unsafe, please be careful." ”
"Thank you." Summer Night smiled and nodded at the other party, and then turned and walked towards Luca, who had caught up behind him.
"I almost bumped into someone, but luckily they didn't mind." She whispered to Luca.
Luca glanced at Xia Ye, then at the guard standing not far away, and commented, "It's good that person didn't mind you, otherwise he would have been unlucky." ”
"What, will you help me out?" Summer Night looked at Luca with a smile.
"I'll try to stop you before you kill her." Luca said.
"Hmph......" she was about to say something more, when the huge floatship landed in the square.
Whew-
The wind from the propeller blew in his face, blowing the long white hair of the summer night backwards. She hurriedly stretched out her hands, one pressing the witch's hat on her head, and the other pressing the hem of the pleated skirt.
After a while, the speed of the propeller gradually slowed down, and the summer night slowly let go of his hands.
"Sure enough, wearing pants also has the benefit of wearing pants." She glanced at Luca beside her and muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing." Summer Night changed the subject: "Were all these pets sent to Uptown?" ”
"Yes."
"How often will there be such a batch?"
"Looking at the demand in Shangcheng, there is a batch every three or five days at the most frequent time, and in normal times, it is about half a month." Luca said.
"Are there any pets that have returned?"
"Very little...... Or rather, almost nothing. Luca replied in a low tone.
Xia Ye didn't seem to hear it, she chuckled and said, "Oh, it seems that the place in Shangcheng is quite big, and it is not full of pets sent over every month." ”
Luca looked at her, wondering if she really hadn't thought of it or if she was playing dumb.
Not far away, hundreds of pets have lined up in a column, and one by one, under the watchful eye of the guards, they have entered the cabin of the floatboat.
Summer Night looked at the scene in front of her very intently, silent, and didn't know what was going on in her mind. Although Luca was not new to this scene for a long time, she had to accompany her to watch it.
That's when the unexpected happened.
A figure suddenly burst out of the ranks, swept past the guards on either side, and sped out of the square.
And the summer night happened to be standing in the direction that the other party rushed over.
The guards immediately spotted the fleeing pet, but strangely enough, they didn't seem to be in a hurry, except for one who chased after him unhurriedly, and the others glanced at it at most and stopped looking at it.
"I regret it! I don't want to go Uptown! They say the people in Uptown are dead! ”
Pets are crying and running at the same time.
It was getting closer and closer to the summer night, and when there were still twenty meters left, the summer night could already see each other's faces very clearly.
It was a girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old at most, with long, silky silver hair and beautiful blue eyes like emerald, and the figure of the other party was similar to that of a summer night, slender but perfectly proportioned. Although it cried profusely, it could not hide the beauty of the girl in the slightest.
2.7…… Maybe there is a 2.8? The one who can be sent to Uptown is really different.
Summer Night unhurriedly scored each other in his heart.
But in the next second, she heard a series of voices:
"Drip-drip-drip-"
She instinctively became vigilant.
The other party continued to run forward, and the distance between him and her had been reduced to less than twenty meters.
Summer Night suddenly saw a little crimson light flickering on the silver-haired girl's beautiful neck ring decorated with lace frills.
"Drip, Drip, Drip......"
The sound of dripping gradually became rapid, and the light flickered faster and faster.
"Woooooooooo......oo I don't want to go uptown!! ”
The silver-haired girl ran while crying, and she didn't seem to notice that there were two people standing in front of her.
The summer night is only ten meters away from it.
