"We must first find Xiaoyi's foothold in the Red Nautilus world..."
Under the clear blue sky, the penetrating and warm sunlight penetrated the air, forming colorful haloes in people's field of vision; two figures were walking one after another in the remains of a ruined city, each step
All stirred up a lot of dry and active dust in the air.?.??`c?o?m
Lin Sanjiu murmured softly, then called out a card and looked at the address - Xiaoyi's destination was very strange to her, a place she had never heard of: "...I don't know either.
Did Rabbit and the others leave any message there?"
According to Rabbit, as long as a message is left at a destination, when Xiaoyi comes here, the message will be taken to her next destination in the world. In this way, even if a few people go there, twelve
Even though we are from different circles, we also have the opportunity to exchange information.
Recalling the last time I met the rabbit, it was in the Garden of Eden; more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye. If they are also working hard towards the central twelve realms, then the possibility of leaving a few words is quite high.
of.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cheer up a little. She turned back and smiled at the gift bag: "Hurry up and follow us, the free zone is not far away."
After walking dozens of kilometers in one breath, Ji Shanqing was so tired that his eyes were blurry. Every step he dragged on the ground was even heavier and slower than Lin Sanjiu, a sick person - "Sister, sister, let me see, what is this?"
, there is nothing interesting in the free zone..."
The size of the free zone is probably only equivalent to the size of a medium-sized city before the end of the world; and outside that prosperous area, there are only endless stretches of desolate dead land. The excitement when the gift package first started to go on the road soon became
It was completely wiped away by the continuous, weathered and eroded human ruins.
"When you see the free zone, you won't say that anymore." Lin Sanjiu responded without looking back, then raised his hand, pointed into the distance and said with a smile: "...Look over there."
Ji Shanqing was not as tall as she was, so he could only stand on tiptoes and crane his neck to look at where she was pointing. He looked a bit like a meerkat.
From where he was, he could only see some vague shadows - when he was guessing what he saw, he heard Lin Sanjiu next to him sigh softly and say: "That was opened by some evolutionists."
The planting area...it seems we should be able to enter the free zone soon."
As he got closer, Ji Shanqing could clearly see the few simple and dilapidated houses and a field fenced with construction waste materials. As Lin Sanjiu said, the prosperity of the free zone soon followed.
There were gradually more and more evolvers on the road, and they were gradually revealed in front of the two of them——
The free zone was rebuilt on the ruins. The whole area looks like a huge and incomplete white shell. In its hollow, various weird buildings are growing vigorously and prosperously, shuttling back and forth.
The strange-looking evolver; the unique smell of spices, alcohol and blood, mixed with the never-ending faint singing and the sound of equipment in the free zone. Rushing towards his face - Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath,
Finally I really feel like I'm back.
After thinking about it, she decided to check Xiaoyi's address first.
Walking in the endless crowd, the gift bag is simply not enough for your eyes...?`
Since he was born, he has never seen so many people and so many new and interesting things. Lin Sanjiu walked very hard along the way. He had to keep looking back to find Ji Shanqing out of the crowd.
Then they dragged him away from various vendors, stalls, streets and songs and dances; the excitement of the gift package was interrupted, and he was still muttering unhappy - so when the two finally found out the address, they came
By the time Xiaoyi settled down, it was almost dark.
Lin Sanjiu wiped her sweat, glanced at Ji Shanqing angrily, and walked forward.
This is a crooked small building, with wooden boards nailed all over the outer wall for some reason. The door has been removed, and a large light sign is hung on the door opening, which reads "Hotel accommodation, mailbox rental, message agency" written in several languages.
"" and other words were shining brightly in the dusk of evening.
...No wonder the last paragraph of Xiaoyi's address says "Box No. 207".
The mailbox that was rented out to the public was obviously a public password box found at a pre-apocalyptic station, city, etc. Even the models and colors were different from each other; Lin Sanjiu found No. 207. After entering the password 1944, Tiepi
The door opened with a clang, and a cloud of ashes came out.
After coughing, Lin Sanjiu put her hand in with some trepidation and touched around.
"Is there any?" Ji Shanqing asked.
Lin Sanjiu didn't respond, but touched it again without giving up. However, all she could reach was a cold cabinet and a thick layer of dust - it seemed that Xiaoyi had not been to Red Nautilus in the past two years.
.
Although she knew that this result was not unexpected, disappointment still captured her heart.
...Is it that Rabbit and his friends haven't been able to reach the Twelve Realms yet, or that they haven't been brought to Red Nautilus through the message Xiaoyi left? If it's the first possibility...then are they okay now?
?
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds. Lin Sanjiu sighed and closed the door.
This action of hers immediately made Ji Shanqing feel that he could go out for a walk again, and his eyes lit up: "What are you going to do now? Where should we go next?"
"Although they have no news, I can leave my whereabouts." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "...I already inquired when I came here just now. The Visa Officers Association is not far from here. I can go and get a visa first.
, come back and write down the place I want to go to next... It happens to be late, and we can stay here one night. Let's go to the Visa Officers Association."
Although he didn't know what a visa was, Ji Shanqing still followed him enthusiastically and asked as he walked: "How to apply for a visa?"
"Huahong crystal, flower material." Lin Sanjiu responded casually, but without warning, a dark cloud suddenly passed through her heart.
The price of issuing a visa will obviously be very expensive, but with the large number of red crystals found in the war slave training camp, Lin Sanjiu is not worried that she will not be able to afford the price - but it is these red crystals that make her hesitate.
Crystal.??.??`c?o?m?
...After the Lou brothers and sisters left, she discovered that the two children had not taken any red crystals, but had left them all to her.
It's like they know that they won't need these red crystals anymore.
No, he must have listened to Ji Shanqing's nonsense, which made him think too much. Lin Sanjiu shook his head and put an end to this thought. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The streets in the free zone are not planned at all, and they are all walked by people, so they often end up in dead ends. Fortunately, the visa officer association is the place that attracts the most attention in the entire free zone. It is a waste of time for the two of them.
It wasn't much. I found the building where the association is located quickly and smoothly.
As visa officers with a pivotal position, they obviously know that they are a precious resource. Even the place chosen by the association is very consistent with their proud style——
Tall pointed arch doors, snow-white ancient Roman columns, exquisite and brilliant carvings... When Lin Sanjiu and two others climbed up the steps and stood at the gate, they felt that they were very small in comparison.
——It seems that this place should have been an opera house before the end of the world.
"It's really exaggerated." Lin Sanjiu muttered as he followed the flow of people into the hall.
In the performance hall that was originally used for watching performances, all the chairs were pulled up and emptied, leaving a large open space with rows of small tables; behind some tables sat people who looked like visa officers, and behind some tables.
They are empty, and some have signs on the table. The content ranges from "Last few ordinary visas, low price clearance" to "Special offer: Accepting survival supplies".
The two of them walked around in the hall looking at everything new for a long time, and Lin Sanjiu gradually saw some clues.
The visa officers who remain in the lobby either have low competency levels or have no good visas left on hand; most of the people who issue visas here are ordinary evolvers who have little money. If you want a rare visa
, such as the Twelve Worlds Visa, or the Blank Visa, you have to go upstairs - the second floor is the special box used by distinguished guests to watch performances. It is much more secretive, and it is more suitable for trading precious and rare materials.
Anyway, there were still a few days before the date of her teleportation, so Lin Sanjiu was not in a hurry to go upstairs and strolled among the rows of small tables for a long time; after seeing enough of the various destinations, she finally
He stopped a visa officer who had just stood up from behind the desk: "...let me ask, are there many visa officers upstairs now?"
The visa officer's dark circles were so heavy that people couldn't notice his other facial features for a moment. After looking at her, he raised his chin upstairs and said with a bit of arrogance: "That's enough."
You use it."
Lin Sanjiu nodded indifferently and didn't care about his attitude at all. Seeing him get up and go to the door of the hall, she also turned around and went up to the second floor with the gift bag.
As soon as I walked into the corridor on the second floor, I was immediately greeted by someone.
"Hello, do you want to apply for a visa?" The young boy, wearing a black shirt, asked softly: "Can you please register?"
"Do you still need to register?" Lin Sanjiu frowned.
"Yes," the boy said with a smile, "Usually you don't use it, but today the 'Dean' is here, so I can't let you in casually... Write down your name, requirements and bids, and I will
I'm going to find a visa officer for you. I can only take you in after I get permission."
Lin Sanjiu clutched the pen and paper he handed over in her hand and listened to the words in a daze.
Who is the dean?
She had never heard of a dean or a house - but thinking back, she spent most of her time in the Red Nautilus in the Starry Sky Amusement Park copy, learning about the forces in the free zone.
There aren't many, so it's not surprising that I haven't heard of it.
After thinking for a while, with some hesitation, Lin Sanjiu followed what the boy said and wrote "Lin Sanjiu, Twelve Realm Visa and Blank Visa, buy red crystal, the quantity is negotiable."
.
If you want to apply for a visa, you must register your name in the visa officer's system - it's just that she was chased out of the shadows by a puppet master in the past, and she almost suffered a loss from Ji Shanqing; now she has some concerns about reporting her name.
Reluctantly, she deliberately wrote the word "Lin Sanjiu" into three crooked, vague ink balls, and the word "wine" was missing its radical.
The young man took the paper without looking at it carefully. He said, "Wait here, don't go in without my help." Then he turned around and disappeared into the dim corridor, leaving Lin Sanjiu and the gift bag behind.
Staircase.
What was unexpected was that they had to wait for more than ten minutes.
The longer time passed, the more restless Ji Shanqing looked, and he didn't know what he was thinking - after walking around in circles for a few times, he suddenly approached Lin Sanjiu and whispered: "Sister, it's not quite right."
yes."
"What happened again?"
"You could tell when we were downstairs just now. There are only six boxes upstairs." Ji Shanqing glanced deep into the corridor. His voice was soft: "This opera house is getting old. Although the floor above
The carpeting prevents people from hearing the footsteps, but the sound of opening and closing the door cannot be blocked... After the man walked in just now, how many times did you hear the sound of the door opening? "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned: "Once."
"Yes, that man entered the first box and never came out again. If the first visa officer he found was suitable, he wouldn't have spent so long; if not, he should have come out and walked to the next one.
There's a private room." Ji Shanqing bit his nails and said, "He just said that there is a big shot inside, so he won't let you in... Since this big shot pays so much attention to secrecy, it stands to reason that anyone who wants to come up and start a fight
People with visas should be turned away and just wait, why go to the trouble of writing down their names..."
"If you have any guesses, tell me quickly." Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples.
"Didn't you say that once the name is listed in the visa officer system, a designated person can be traced? I guess this big shot is here to trace the person... As for the registration, it is just in case.
, and review every person who comes to apply for a visa. I have thought about many possibilities, but this is the most reasonable."
In other words, the big shot inside, or his subordinates, were reviewing his registration form at this time - Lin Sanjiu frowned and was about to say something when he heard a "squeak" coming from the corridor.
The sound was the sound of the first box door being opened.
The young man just now appeared in the corridor soon, still holding her registration form in his hand. He came to the two of them and said with a smile: "Is this Miss Lin Sanjiu? Lin? You come in with me. I have already given
You found the right visa officer."
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what was going on in her heart - she quickly glanced at Ji Shanqing, and her expression suddenly darkened when she saw the gift bag; then she suppressed it.
With a pounding heartbeat, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "Really, thank you so much -"
The next second, the man who was caught off guard was immediately hit by a shadow on the back of his neck, and fell down almost without any precautions.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed the limp body and put him on the ground as quietly as possible; Ji Shanqing immediately smiled and asked into the air as if there was someone on the other side: "Yes?"
Okay, which visa officer is this? Oh, okay..."
As soon as the young man's body touched the ground, Lin Sanjiu immediately tugged on Ji Shanqing's sleeve, and the two of them turned around and rushed down the stairs - almost at the same time when the two of them stepped into the hall, someone appeared on the second floor box.
There was a noise——
"Why are you coming after me?" Lin Sanjiu felt that the gift package was too slow, so she put him on her shoulders and rushed towards the gate: "...who could be tracking me?"
"Have you forgotten, the master behind the war slave training camp must have discovered what you did by now!" The gift bag lay on her shoulder, gasping: "There is no airtight wall in the world, if you want to know your
The name wasn’t difficult at all!”
Lin Sanjiu closed her mouth tightly, her heart feeling like it was being roasted by fire. She didn't know whether it was because she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't fight at this time, or because she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't get a visa. If she didn't have a visa, she would have to
How do you tell a rabbit your whereabouts?
When bursts of belated commotion gradually sounded behind them, Lin Sanjiu and the two had already stepped out of the hall door - she had only taken two steps, and suddenly turned around, before she bumped into the person in front of her.
He stopped dangerously.
"What are you doing!" The visa officer with dark circles under his eyes had obviously just come back from outside. He was startled by Lin Sanjiu and immediately became unhappy: "You are so reckless!"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned and glanced back. When she turned to look at him again, she narrowed her eyes slightly. (To be continued.)
