#529 - Chapter 527 The Lost City
"Hello, Uncle Xiao, hello, Director Wang, what mission do we have this time?"
While Qi Jing waited anxiously, Gou Yigou finally arrived.
Every time he sees him, he acts like he knows everyone. Is this the energy of a second-generation异人?
Also, what's up with this Director Wang? It's been over twenty minutes, why is he still staring at me?!
But Old Gou calls Xiao Fifteen 'Uncle,' and I call him 'Brother,' which puts me a generation higher. Kinda nice, huh?
Amidst Qi Jing's chaotic thoughts, the "Uncle Xiao" in the video spoke:
"Take a stroll through the dwarves' lair. Dare to?"
"I dare!"
Gou Yigou agreed to the task without hesitation, then blinked and looked around, asking:
"Just the three of us?"
The director definitely can't go, and if Xiao Fifteen wanted to go, he wouldn't just stay on a video call. Besides those two, that leaves three people here.
Three people going to the dwarves' lair?
And they're all freshmen?
Isn't that just suicide?
"What, are you scared?" Xiao Fifteen saw Gou Yigou's hesitant reaction and curved his lips into a smile, saying, "Don't worry, even if you die, we can revive you."
You're so encouraging.
Gou Yigou also knew the nature of this [逍遥仙], even though his words weren't great, he was very reliable.
Probably, maybe, won't die.
"Go, I trust my brother Qi Jing."
"Knew you were a bold one. First step, you go put this compass in the red-haired foreign girl's hand. It'll point the way to the dwarves' location."
Listening to Xiao Fifteen's words, Gou Yigou picked up the compass from the small table in front of the door and went into the prison cell to place it in Pelosina's palm.
This time, the compass didn't point in Qi Jing's direction, but southwest.
Seeing this, Qi Jing, hiding from Pelosina's gaze, whispered:
"This dwarf has finally calmed down."
He didn't dare speak loudly, afraid that Pelosina would get excited and want to chop him again:
"Next, just fly along this direction, and we'll definitely find the dwarves' base!"
Hearing his words, Tan Zuoyin held up two fingers and gestured:
"Following the line is too slow. We can use a teleportation gate to teleport to another part of Earth. Draw two lines on the map based on the compass's direction, and the intersection will be the dwarves' exact location. Going straight along the line will take forever."
"The compass is too small, the accuracy isn't great. You can go to four places to draw lines, it'll be more accurate than two lines."
Drawing a line on a globe with such a small needle is much harder than on paper, the accuracy is definitely not high. It can only determine the approximate location of the dwarves' lair.
But the teleportation gates are all together, so taking a few extra trips will solve it.
Xiao Fifteen continued:
"But I guess their base is definitely in a different dimension gate with a higher gravity coefficient. Just use the approximate direction to determine which teleportation gate it is."
"The sooner the better, I'll draw one first."
Qi Jing took out a globe as big as his belly and drew a rough circle on it along the direction of the compass.
Next, just go to a few other places on Earth, draw a few lines, find the intersection, and we can start the massacre!
"Let's go!"
✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ❀
The three of them, taking the immobile Pelosina, went through the teleportation gate to four continents, drew four lines, and finally converged on the Andes Mountains on the other side of Earth.
There, there was only one different dimension gate—the Lost City, numbered 6.
It must be said, having a teleportation gate is convenient. After determining the destination, they can go directly through the nearest embassy there.
"I heard that the Lost City behind this different dimension gate is very prosperous. We can pretend to be tourists, then sneak in and let Pelosina guide us."
"Let's go!"
Qi Jing took out his Batmobile again and sat inside.
Gou Yigou, holding the controller for Pelosina's coated prison uniform, sat in the back row with her, using the compass to guide the way.
Tan Zuoyin, in the passenger seat, searched for information and introduced:
"This different dimension gate is the sixth different dimension gate to appear on Earth, four years earlier than the C-level different dimension gate. At that time, it was discovered by a gang, who were the first to occupy it and became the first batch of outlaws to live there.
After that, a large number of gangs and criminals heard about the existence of the different dimension gate and poured into the other world behind it.
Because there were too few people inside at the time, and their abilities weren't very strong, they couldn't stop them, so they could only let them in.
Later, the existence of the different dimension gate spread, and many regular troops wanted to go in to carry out justice and make money, but they were resisted and killed by all the criminals inside.
They didn't allow those 'good people' to enter here.
Over time, this place became a paradise for criminals, establishing a city belonging only to bad people, which is the Lost City.
Later, which was seven years ago, the local government purchased gravity control devices from our country, and on this condition, they obtained the right to enter this city, occupying a small part of it.
And with this as a start, many local governments and the criminals inside reached an agreement that as long as they don't commit crimes when they come out, the people inside will not be surrounded and suppressed by the government, which is valid for three months each year, and ordinary people outside can also go in to do business and start companies.
This is the beginning of the relaxation in recent years, and also the reason for their greater prosperity.
But the government entered too late, and it had already been divided into two major gangs. Ordinary people who go in can either only visit and tour, or they have to join them, otherwise they can forget about making money inside.
A large part of the money they earn is handed over to these two gangs, but because there are abundant resources inside, they can still make a lot of money, plus the fighting power of the gangs is very strong, so there aren't many people protesting, forming the current relatively stable situation.
However, they definitely don't dare to provoke our people. As long as we're in the right, they will definitely not attack first."
If they dare to attack, once the Chinese disappear in this city, it will attract some ability users who trace the origins to investigate. Once caught, those people will definitely die.
This is the face of a strong country.
No matter how big or rampant these two gangs are, they all have to sit down.
"But, they also have some rules. If you want to come here for tourism, you can, but only within a specified time. Once that time is up, life and death are irrelevant.
After all, they are a bunch of gangsters. Restraining them for too long will cause trouble sooner or later, so they have agreed on a time to unify peace and unify riots.
Let me see, this time usually changes every Monday, which means one week of peace, one week of riot. Now it's exactly the last day of peace week.
During peace week, no one will attack. During riot week, no one cares. If you die during this time, unless someone misses you, no one can do anything about it."
After listening to Tan Zuoyin's explanation, Qi Jing understood the situation inside.
The main body of the Lost City is two major gangs, and while it is relatively prosperous, it stipulates a strange rule.
One week of peace, on the surface no one touches anyone, one week of chaos, if those without a background die, they die, including those Chinese.
It's like they're telling you that this week is dangerous, but you still want to stay inside, so it's your fault if you die.
"Tomorrow is riot week, are we sure we want to go in today?"
