Chapter 98: Disturbances in Solomon City
Abandoned or killed?
How many years has Solomon City existed? How many children like this have been thrown away?
Ye Qiyan didn’t ask, let alone meddle in other people’s business.
But before he could even enter the restaurant,
a group of men and women in uniforms suddenly appeared on the street.
They were holding firearms and searching for something on the street.
Two of them ran directly towards this direction.
“Halt!”
The man between the two called out to Ye Qiyan.
“Are you a newly entered Train Captain? Named… Ye Qiyan? Your ID number is E-3-1102, right?”
Calling out his Train Captain ID and name wasn’t surprising; after all, a registration was naturally conducted after entering the city, and since they could find him, Ye Qiyan naturally had no need to deny it.
“It’s me. Is there something the matter?”
“We are Inspectors of Solomon City. According to intelligence, a terrorist organization is going to attack Solomon City, and they will arrive here in batches within these past few days. You… are you from this batch that just got rid of your newcomer status? It probably has nothing to do with you either, but as a matter of routine, please come with us to the Train stopping point and check your personal information to see if you have joined that terrorist organization.”
Check people?
Ye Qiyan frowned.
“What if I don’t agree?”
There were still quite a few secrets on his personal information that he didn’t want others to see, and furthermore, on what grounds?
Routine?
He certainly didn’t know there was such routine business.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t agree.
The male Inspector who spoke also frowned. He held his head high, and the baton in his hand flickered with electricity.
“Friend, don’t blame me for not reminding you. You’re just a newcomer Train Captain, and you need to know how to respect your seniors. For a newcomer, even if we arrest you and interrogate you under torture, it’s no big deal. Come with us while you can still walk, otherwise, heh.”
“Giving you one last time: go, or not go?”
Seniors? Respect?
Playing the senior card in this world? Isn’t that a bit too stupid?
Whether someone is a senior depends not on the batch of arrival in this world, but on ability.
“It looks like I won’t be able to eat this meal today. I’m sorry, but I don’t want others to see my information—no one can.”
“Seeking death!”
A strike with the baton fell through empty air.
The current flickered on the Lightning Wolf Leather Boots.
With a kick, he directly kicked this big man flying away.
Seeing this, the other Inspector also raised his stun baton and struck over.
“Dammit, how dare you attack us! Ah!”
Too slow.
Under the blessing of the Lightning Wolf Leather Boots, Ye Qiyan’s speed was no longer something they could keep up with.
These so-called senior Inspectors each had a Train level of no more than Level 4 before staying in the city.
Therefore, it was basically impossible for their Stamina or Mental Power to have been upgraded.
That is to say, apart from the equipment on their bodies, these guys are no different from ordinary people at all.
Such people occupy the absolute majority among Train Captains.
The disturbance here caught the attention of the other Inspectors.
Whistles blew, and a sharp, piercing sound echoed in the air.
Ye Qiyan sighed speechlessly in his heart.
Casually tossing a one-hundred-bill of Solomon City to the already frightened Quick-Foot, he immediately accelerated and ran toward a direction with more people.
He had already decided to find a safe place and directly use the anchor to return to the Train and leave the station.
As for the help Zhu Xingtu mentioned? Didn’t she say that as long as he entered the station, it would be fine? Then the help was already over, and after leaving the station, he could just ask that Charlatan woman for the card.
Even so,
Ye Qiyan was not familiar with this city and was almost caught up several times.
What a pity, the quality of these Inspectors was truly terrible; they could be easily resolved without even needing guns.
However, where should he run to?
Ye Qiyan discovered the corner of an alley.
Just as he squeezed in and prepared to use the blasphemy card,
a pair of small hands suddenly reached out from the shadows to grab the corner of his clothes.
“Who?”
The muzzle of Ebony aimed at the shadows.
A timid voice said tremblingly:
“Don’t, don’t shoot…”
In the shadows, the begging pointed-ear blue-skinned child seen earlier curled up its body and reached out to point at a door on the side.
“You want me to go in here?”
It nodded.
“No, it won’t be discovered.”
After a brief thought, listening to the footsteps coming closer and closer outside, Ye Qiyan temporarily gave up the idea of using the blasphemy card.
After all, there were other people here, unless he killed this child right now.
But… forget it.
Leaving dejectedly less than an hour after arriving in this city, no matter how one thought about it, was a bit embarrassing, right?
Let’s just treat it as a new Platform adventure.
Following the child through that door, twisting and turning, they arrived in another neighborhood.
“Walk this way.”
The child pointed in another direction.
Walking behind it for a long time, it seemed they had descended several dozen meters from the original location.
The originally fresh scent in the air gradually became somewhat unpleasant.
“Here.”
The child released its grip on Ye Qiyan’s trouser leg and said timidly:
“Th-this place, nobody will come, because everyone hates us.”
“…”
Compared to the prosperity of other parts of Solomon City, this place looked like a ruin.
And beneath these ruined-like buildings, “people” with cyan skin and double pointed ears who were called monsters?
“D-don’t be afraid, big brother, we are not monsters, really not…”
Ye Qiyan glanced at him and reached out to pat the child’s head.
“I know you aren’t monsters. Come, have this.”
He felt two fruit candies out of his pocket and handed them to the child’s hands.
The child took the candy, but didn’t eat it. Even though its eyes were filled with desire, amidst that desire there was also a trace of fear.
“What’s wrong? If you want to give it to your family, I have more here.”
The child shook its head, bit its lip, and whispered:
“Sister was poisoned to death by candy given by the adults above some time ago…”
“…”
He seemed to have underestimated this city’s Malice toward them.
Really, was it necessary?
Ye Qiyan didn’t say anything.
Following the child, they walked all the way into the village composed of these broken walls and ruins.
Around them, similar cyan-skinned, pointed-ear people constantly cast gazes at him from the ruins.
Among those gazes were disgust and envy, but most of all, fear.
“We’re here.”
They stopped in front of a relatively intact building.
Looking up, there was shockingly a familiar mark on the building.
Faceless Saint.
On that invitation card of the Emperor Sequence Organization, it was this.
“…”
He suddenly had a thought.
His experiences over the past half day couldn’t possibly be arranged by that Charlatan woman, right?
If it really was, that would be a bit… displeasing.
Ebony and skyhawk were held in his hands.
Bullets chambered, Ye Qiyan pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the building, a woman with ordinary human skin and ears, wearing a mask, sitting on a chair and gently tapping a wooden fish stopped her movement.
The woman opened her eyes, and her face under the mask made it impossible for people to know what expression she wore.
She stood up, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Ye Qiyan, who was standing at the door with a vigilant look:
“Are you the newcomer who rescued the angel from that world? Hello, my name is Monroe Gina. Just like you, I am a collector of card sequence. This organization’s activity this time was initiated by me.”
