The barber and Morgan were walking in the dim alleys of the lower city.
Neither the bluebird nor the pony had night vision capabilities. In order to keep up with the two people in front of him, the barber had already pulled down his night vision goggles.
Morgan followed closely beside him. Only by the light emitted by the factory machines could he barely see the barber's figure.
She didn't even know where she was going, but she didn't feel scared walking in such a dark place.
She hoped that this moment could be extended indefinitely...
The rhythmic noise from the factories on both sides is mixed with the same rhythmic sound of the tide above...
"Once you get used to it, it will make you feel at ease."
Morgan suddenly said: "It gives people a sense of tranquility."
"You mean the noise from the factory?"
Although Morgan's topic was sudden, the barber immediately realized what she was going to say.
This tacit understanding with Morgan... was something he had just gained.
"And the cry of the sea."
Morgan put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and whispered softly: "It feels like living here is not bad."
Hearing this, the barber was silent.
He didn't know how to answer...
He felt that whatever he said might hurt Morgan's heart; and the remaining half of his response might hurt himself.
"Do you remember," Morgan murmured, "I am actually very afraid of the dark. I was originally very afraid."
That's because Blue Songbird never goes out at night to be with her...
"It's a good thing to be afraid of the dark."
The barber didn't look back and said softly: "Those who are good at swimming will drown. It is safest to take the initiative to stay away from danger."
"...It's pretty much the same as what he said."
Morgan was a little helpless.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the more she chatted with her, the more the barber looked like "Blue Songbird"...
Compared to the type of boyfriend who likes to show off his authority, save face, and talk tough words, Lan Gegui is much more rational. He admits that he is not good at fighting and his vision is very dim at night. Therefore, in Xiacheng District, crimes may be committed at any time at night.
Well, he never takes Morgan out at night...
Because he knew very well that he could not protect Morgan. Bluebird and Morgan's father were responsible for her by not letting her go out at night.
Nighttime has always been the home of Xiacheng District.
Anyway, there is no distinction between day and night in Xiacheng District. They can sleep all day and then come out again when night falls.
And in the middle of the night... even the execution department is off work.
The few shift personnel stationed on duty are only there to guard documents or protect the executive department building.
Corporate execution is not the police.
They strictly abide by the attitude of getting paid and doing a job, and there is no possibility of risking their lives on patrols at night.
If something happens at night, no one will come to save you.
But now, the person following her is the godfather, the nominal leader of Xiacheng District.
"Now that I'm with the 'Godfather', I feel like I'm not so scared anymore."
"...it's better to be afraid."
The barber sighed again: "I'm not a good person."
Although Morgan may not understand it, the "Godfather" is indeed not a good person.
Unlike "Ultraline", his position is completely close to Xiacheng District.
For example, what he is about to do...
They had been walking for more than two hours, and Morgan had only seen two people on the road since leaving the Veil of Ignorance.
Instead, I saw or heard fifteen or six huge cargo trucks roaring past.
"Are there... so few people in Lower City?"
Morgan was a little surprised: "Or are they all hiding?"
"Because they are sleeping."
The barber sighed helplessly: "Uncoded people also have to sleep."
It was afternoon outside now, and for most people in Xiacheng District, it was the time when they were fast asleep. Therefore, there were not many people wandering around.
The Angels and the Execution Department usually go to Xiacheng District after five o'clock in the afternoon. The rest of the time is considered a surprise attack.
The reason is also very simple... because there are trucks transporting goods in Xiacheng District during the day. After five o'clock, it is the off-duty time.
Although part of it is unmanned and part of it is the pilot's jump-in control, there must also be part of it with real people.
Generally speaking, the uncensored people in Xiacheng District will not attack these trucks in front of their homes. Otherwise, Xiacheng District will usher in a very intense siege. Of course, there must be some idiots and radicals, but they are usually hanged.
The person was killed. After all, the average uncoded person just wants to live in a different place, and does not want to pay the price with his life. He will risk the risk of war and try his best to increase the price of goods in Shangcheng District by five percentage points...
People who do this are at least somewhat seriously ill.
And if Angel and the Enforcement Department damage these freight trucks, it will definitely not work.
After all, the Enforcement Department is a department that puts "company interests first" rather than enforcing justice. One of the reasons why the "civilians" in Xiacheng District can escape encirclement and suppression is precisely because once freight trucks start to be evacuated in a certain area, or if they are discovered
The freight truck at the door suddenly changed its route, and people immediately prepared to run away.
Unlike Sogo Island...even at night, there are no trucks running around uptown.
Although the Uncoded would not attack trucks in front of their homes, the situation is different in Uptown.
This can also be said to be a mutual choice.
People in the uptown area will go home before midnight. The remaining people enjoying the nightlife will never leave the store where they are staying.
The first priority for uncensored people to rob and kidnap is the drunkard who is alone, followed by the young couple looking for excitement.
Having money also makes it easy to control... Even if you don't have money, you can kidnap and threaten their family members. To put it at a further level, just tying up people and sending them to the lower city is also productive.
For example, it can be used to shoot short videos of general taboos or special taboos, or it can also be used to empty out the internal organs and sell them to black market doctors, or directly hand them over to mad scientists who were expelled for doing taboo experiments.
Even if the execution department receives a report, the most it can say is "we know it." It is impossible to go to Xiacheng District to search for missing persons aimlessly... It is a coincidence that they happened to meet during the eradication of the organization. But they will definitely not take the initiative
I looked for it because I couldn't find it at all.
There is no Internet, no lights, no surveillance, no floating cars in Xiacheng District. In most areas, even phone calls cannot be made and text messages cannot be sent. They use hammers to find people.
"Generally speaking, there is a difference of about ten hours between the daily schedules of the lower city and the upper city. At around nine o'clock in the morning, people will not feel at ease until the first batch of trucks pass by their homes."
The barber explained.
Cargo trucks mean safety.
It is impossible for company dogs to cause losses to their owners... Therefore, as long as they do not attack trucks in Xiacheng District and do not attack high-end entertainment and catering facilities in downtown areas and high-end entertainment and dining facilities that may have VIPs in Uptown District, they will always be safe.
"…but what is that?"
Morgan pointed to the sky, but couldn't see anything in the barber's night vision goggles.
He took off his night vision goggles in confusion.
The strange thing is that when I took off my night vision goggles... I seemed to see a bright golden meteor, like "rising from the sea", or falling from the horizon.
Not far ahead, a dark golden light of the same thickness rose from the ground and collided with the meteor.
When they collided, there was no violent collision or explosion sound... Instead, they exploded in the air like fireworks, and golden clouds slowly dispersed in the air, even lighting up a "sea".
"...That is the power of Holy Order."
The barber's eyes became serious: "But what is the other hair?"
Could it be that...an angel launched a sneak attack?
But in that case, how come there is only one shot?
"...something happened?"
"No matter what, I have to go and have a look first."
"good."
They looked at each other.
The barber put on the night vision goggles again, and the pace of the two of them, which was almost walking before, suddenly accelerated a lot.
