The mining area behind the concrete walls is dirty. Whining steam engines can be seen, and there are also many coal piles.

Coming to the wooden accommodation area, it is shabby and not decent, but it is neat and clean.

The dormitory was taken over by an old man, with a pair of cold eyes behind black-rimmed glasses, staring at each newcomer with a creepy look, straightening his glasses.

"Since you have come to the Bode Mining Area, you must understand the rules here, you can eat first, and after eating, I will announce the rules. ”

Everyone walked out of the wooden dormitory bustlingly, and under the harsh sunlight, they came to the cafeteria area.

There was no excitement brought about by money, but an atmosphere of panic permeated the miners who came back to eat one after another.

Some of them eat with numb eyes, some eat with different hearts, and their eyes don't know what to observe.

The manager with a stick walks in the middle of the dinner table, forbidding conversation, although he has not yet integrated into the group. But the first impression of such a highly centralized management is poor.

Gary swallowed the brown bread and drank the fish soup with a piece of fish.

The old man's food was much better than Gary's, but a pair of suspicious eyes kept looking at the miners, making people palpitate.

The miners, who were in a very poor mental state, returned to the dormitory for a lunch break, and Gary and other new miners gathered in the square.

The old man took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his mouth, raised his voice a few points, and made a slightly sharp sound.

"First of all, you must understand, first of all, that the Bode Mine is not a relief society, nor is it an amusement park, there are prescribed tasks every day, and if you fail to complete the tasks, you will be punished, maybe your punishment is a vigil in the cold, maybe your punishment is not having food. ”

The old man paced with what he thought was graceful .......

"First, we must unconditionally obey the arrangements of the mining area here, and we must not object to anything. ”

"Second, it is forbidden to spread terrorist remarks, it is forbidden to communicate in the cafeteria, and it is forbidden to eat quickly. ”

"When I returned to the dormitory on the third night, I had only two hours to talk, and then I had to turn off the lights and not make any noise. ”

"Fourthly, there are illegal incidents such as robbery, murder, fighting, etc., which are handed over to the police station once discovered...... or, in situ. ”

In the afternoon, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

After an afternoon of training and practice, the miners basically mastered the proper skills, dragging their bodies that were in pain due to the training brain, lying on the beds without speaking.

Gary was in a bored daze, but there was an amazing killing intent behind him. The heart throbbed and twitched in the chest, and the body straightened violently.

The feeling is familiar, and there are often some quirky people in the tavern. The eyes of those eccentrics often carry such oppression.

Try to swallow and foam to relieve a dry throat. Steady your heart and turn your head.

At some point, an elegant young man stood behind him, smiling eyes and a hooked mouth like a cat that had caught a mouse.

Hidden in the cone, Charles instantly remembered, what are you looking at?

"There's something familiar about you. ”

Gary asked tentatively. "You're one of those weirdos too?"

The man was still smiling next to him. "How do you know?"

"When I was a waiter in a tavern, I often saw weirdos. ”

"Then have you ever met a strange man in a black robe?"

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Gary said slowly, "There are many", and the man thought thoughtfully.

Gary can be considered to have met someone to talk to. "Sir, what nationality are you from, and why are you here?"

Mimi eyes.

"I'm from the Forrest Empire, and my father is a minor nobleman, but we don't live like nobles. ”

"We were nicknamed the canaries in the birdcage, and my father begged for meager gold coins every day in the mansions of the big financial bourgeoisie. ”

Pulling out a cigarette and reaching it to the kerosene lamp, the young man picked it up and squinted his eyes in comfort, Gary's eyes dodging, because he couldn't afford this type of tobacco.

"We are representatives of the old system, the times when the people hate us, hate us for our rights more than our obligations, and the damned bourgeoisie is also stabbing in the back, hell. It wasn't until I joined the Holy See that I was treated with the respect I deserved. ”

"I'm here to experience life," a pair of playful eyes stared at Gary.

"What about you?"

"I work as a waitress in a tavern, and my mother is sick and has to come here", "Tavern?"

"Henry's Tavern. ”

"Oh, it's the old turtle's tavern. ”

The young man said unashamedly.......

Gary closed his mouth playfully, not retorting.

............ The dividing line of luxury.

Little Docklands East End, Henry's Tavern.

The shiny wine glass was placed at the front desk, the expressionless boss flipped five fingers, a coin landed on the bar, and the clanging sound made everyone raise their heads.

Seeing the expressionless boss, he withdrew his gaze one after another, and continued to enjoy the paralyzing pleasure of alcohol.

"Divination gets a fog, distorted by a high-level existence, this can't be ah, it seems that there is a secret in the mining area, tsk. ”

He spread out his palms and opened his mouth word by word in a specific secret language on the distorted faces on his palms, "There is a high position in the Bode mining area, and the divination related to it will be twisted." ”

The boss lit a cigarette for himself, and he couldn't see the expression behind him anymore under the smoke.

May 5.

The next morning, everyone was gathered in the square. "Today is Friday, the weekly team action begins, and the list of the tenth group is out. ”

"Gary, Ketdor, Matigu, Saxo......" Charles noticed that most of the names were from smuggling ships and recent arrivals.

Pity and playful eyes came, and some of them cried and mourned.

"This is your captain, get your gear and get to work. ”

The old man and the captain led the indifferent crowd to the warehouse, and a corresponding key was inserted into the hole, and the clashing of gears and the sound of pimples rang out.

The mechanical force slowly pulled the heavy iron door open, but the equipment inside shocked everyone, the clothes were extremely heavy.

The canvas-like garment was covered with a lot of dried gelatin, except for the head of the body with a thick piece of glass, like an Earth's spacesuit.
