Chapter 37: The Sinking Sea (4)

Makisuke always felt that the man was familiar.

It was a strange feeling.

It was as if it had been clearly marked and was inevitable.

In the bright hall, all he could see were powerful people sitting upright, looking at him with either scrutiny or indifference, as if they were considering the exploitable value of an exhibited product. That casual line of sight was mixed in, revealing a lack of interest. In

a moment of eye contact, those were a pair of beautiful and bold ruby ​​pupils, wrapped in burning blood and fire, and the shadows cast by the long eyelashes slightly lowered brought a deep coldness, and just one glance brought the creepy feeling of being stared at by a predator.

The breath of the plunderer was an absolute terror to the rest of the awakened ones, but Makusuke did not look away.

In the end, the black-haired executive sneered with an ambiguous meaning, closed his eyes and ignored it.

He stood up and spoke on behalf of all the executives. He proposed that "Turquoise" should be handed over to the executive building as a core member of the rebel organization's origin, but everyone knew that this was just a cover-up to deduce the true intention of the imperial capital.

"Turquoise" was imprisoned in the trial tower.

It didn't matter whether he participated in the chaos caused by "Wireweed", and the evidence also became an excuse.

His identity was the best reason.

The Inspection Court had this intention, and it pretended to make things difficult, and then held a vote. The result was of course unanimous approval.

The young man who had never had the right to speak remained silent, standing straight without bending, and remained strong even in the biting cold wind.

Countless malicious intentions gnawed at his bones, but Mujie accepted it calmly, but his mind was distracted by another person.

He wondered if the teacher had been bearing all this alone. The superiors in the imperial capital looked down on visitors from the 15th district and were unwilling to cooperate with such people. How would she go on in the imperial capital?

There were too many obstacles and the risks were too great, but she finally chose to come here.

The night watchman sensed the vague gazes from all around him, so he simply closed his eyes and looked at nothing. These people just want to laugh at her or take advantage of her weakness. This juncture is too sensitive. If she shows anything wrong, she will be the next unlucky person.

The leader of the rebel organization who has turned against the emperor and become the executive officer of the imperial capital and the student she knows nothing about are quite interesting. If it gets out, it will definitely be the headline of the entertainment template.

Shouye turned the pinky ring on his hand, raised his eyelids slightly to look at Makisuke, and then retracted his gaze.

He has indeed grown a lot.

The young man whose ending was rashly determined took a last look at the man before walking out of the hall. The young executive half-closed his eyes and looked lazy. This boring meeting did not interest him, and there was nothing here worthy of his attention.

Makisuke didn't know what he was expecting. That was just a passerby whom he had never met before, and he was also an executive officer who was above all others in the imperial capital. How could he possibly respond to him? The escorts

were instructed to take the man away directly, which caused him to miss the late arrival of the executive officer Shanshan.

The conference building and the trial tower were completely in two directions, and the journey alone took a lot of time. When the transport vehicle finally arrived at the destination, Makisuke stood in front of the majestic tall building and even vaguely caught the sound of surging waves.

He didn't have time to observe more. The people following him urged him to register quickly. He officially entered the prison after completing the cumbersome procedures. The dull pace swirled, and the air was so quiet that it was depressing.

He could even hear his own breathing.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, newbie." The prison guard who led him to the cell was a kind-hearted and friendly police officer. He saw that Makisuke was fair-skinned and although he wasn't that handsome, he was still very eye-catching here.

Especially his bright eyes, which made people feel good about him.

The prison guard couldn't help but remind him a few more times, somewhat worried about this young man who didn't fit in with the Judgment Tower. "Don't mess with those looters. They have strong backgrounds and are in charge of different districts here. They have deep influence. If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me."

"I can help you report to the deputy manager of the tower. Mr. Sin is a very good person. He is in charge of 'justice'. If it is something that violates the regulations, he will not remain indifferent."

Makisuke listened, nodded in response, lowered his head to look at his ID card, and then pinned it to his chest.

E. 2097.

"Okay, thank you."

He walked into the residence with the daily necessities that had been distributed. The other people in the prison looked at the young man with malicious eyes, and their eyes were sticky. Makisuke dodged the hand that the man extended and asked politely, "What can I do for you?"

"Wow, what a well-mannered newbie." He said in an exaggerated tone, pretending to accidentally knock over everything in his hand, and his arrogance was not concealed. "But this is not a place for courtesy."

"Since you are here, you must abide by the rules of the tower. Newcomers need to be responsible for all sanitation and cleaning. The prison guards will come to check regularly. This is very simple. We believe you will do well."

"If you don't meet the standards, it is reasonable to accept appropriate punishment, right?"

What rules, who doesn't know that the inside of the Judgment Tower pursues the principle of strength just like the outside world.

You don't need to think deeply to know that this is bullying the newcomers.

Most of the people in the Judgment Tower are evil people who have committed serious crimes. They have destroyed all kindness, which also means that he does not need to be merciful. Mu Jie bent down to pick it up again, and when he looked up, a sharp cold light cut through the original harmlessness.

The hard object hit him head-on, and the man was knocked to the ground on the spot before he could react. The handsome young man tilted his head and smiled at the other prisoners, "Do you still think so?"

"I apologize in advance."

Even though he is now in a state without superpowers, Mu Jie is physically fit and trained by Yu Bufeng. His physical fitness and practical ability are strong enough to deal with ordinary people.

After successfully defeating a group of inmates who bullied the weak and feared the strong, Makisuke asked in a good-tempered manner: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"No, I dare not, no! Of course not!" "

That's good." Makisuke tidied his things and walked out immediately, as the assembly time was approaching. New inmates must not be absent, and they must listen to the unified hearing in the hall regarding the distribution of prisons, sentence arrangements and internal regulations.

Makisuke listened carefully, and only when he left the assembly hall did he notice the excessive noise outside.

The excited crowd suddenly fell silent, and he alone saw those unforgettable eyes in such silence.

She wore the prison uniform, which had no bright spots, in a pleasing way. Her posture was frivolous and lazy, and her every move revealed elegance and maturity. Light and shadow flowed in her eyes.

She was surrounded by people and walked towards him. She was full of admiration, awe and fear. She stepped on the road cast by the light spots, but she just passed him by.

The wind stopped in her ears, and the scattered discussions sounded again.

"Strange, didn't Lord Silver Wolf say he wanted to teach the new plunderer a lesson?"

"Don't you know about Area C? Black Goat handed over his power to Clematis and will only be in charge of acting as an agent. How could he possibly attack the newcomer under such circumstances?"

"But why do I feel that Lord Silver Wolf seems to be happy to be ordered around by the newcomer..." "Is

Black Goat crazy? What does it mean to just hand over Area C to others?"

"Keep your voice down! Maybe the newcomer has some outstanding qualities. Anyway, don't talk about such things. If it gets to the ears of those big shots, we will be in trouble."

The big shots who caused the turmoil soon left here, and Makisuke woke up like a dream. He hurriedly grabbed the hand of the person next to him and asked anxiously: "Excuse me, but do you know who the gray-haired plunderer in the middle of those people just now is?"

"That person's name is 'Wire Linden'."

He didn't want to explain, but when he came into contact with the young man's clear blue eyes, he paused subtly, and the irritability seemed to recede like the tide, and he inexplicably developed an unusual fondness for the stranger in front of him.

After he opened his mouth to reply, he could not help but say a few more words, trying to stay a little longer with this young man who made him feel comfortable just by looking at him, as if all the pollution in his body had been cleared away. "It is said that she just arrived in the past few days, and several xenophobic predators seem to have no intention of driving her away. She is a character that is not easy to mess with."

"Did you see the pyramid in the prefix of their numbers? That is the exclusive identification of predators."

"Predators have a special surveillance area, and they basically operate in that area. But I don't know what happened today... What are these big guys doing in our E area?"

Makisuke lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and just said thank you.

"Makisuke is in Area E, why don't you help him? He will be bullied here."

No matter how you think about it, Makisuke should at least be assigned to Area C. This result must be caused by the people in the Imperial Capital. Eleanor was not worried. She casually replied to the observer, "No." If it was in other areas, it was hard to say, but Area E was safer.

The looters in the tower had long escaped the control of the Imperial Capital. As long as they did not attract their attention, she would say hello and Makisuke would not be in any danger.

Thinking of this, she tilted her head to look at Black Goat, "Did you see an old acquaintance just now?"

"...Are you talking about turquoise?" Black Goat adjusted his glasses. People who were familiar with him knew that this was his subconscious habit when he told lies. "I feel a little sorry about this."

Eleanor was not interested in his slightly weird tone. She raised her hand to take off Black Goat's glasses, folded the legs together, and then put them in his shirt pocket. She curled her lips, "Take care of turquoise for me."

"Don't misinterpret what I mean."

Eleanor took the book from his hand, walked in the direction she came from, and prepared to return to her cell.

The first floor of the predator's section only has two rooms for living. The Judgment Tower is extremely arrogant in this regard. As soon as Eleanor stepped out of the stairs and turned the corner, she came into contact with the person in another single room. This was the first time she had seen this "roommate".

It had been empty before.

"Are you also interested in "Origin"? "He looked at it with a smile. The cover of the book he casually closed was not exactly the same as the one in Eleanor's hand. There were many differences between the new and old versions, from the content to the cover, and his was obviously the new version.

The clever thing is that the author of "Origin" is Jiuyue.

This book was written by Jiuyue and explores the nature of awakened people and aliens.

In addition to the technological products she usually works on, Su Jiyue often conducts biological experiments with other researchers in her spare time to dig up more information about alien species.

This book was written by her by combining the results of many studies. The most regrettable thing is that the hunt launched by the imperial capital was at the end of "Origin", so she had to finish writing in a hurry.

But it was also very dramatic. After her death, the experimental progress on the essence made a major breakthrough, so Bai He tried to rewrite the ending that Su Jiyue had regretted with the idea of ​​a friend.

But it can only become another imagination.

Bai He didn't know how Su Jiyue would narrate it. She just felt that the supplement was really bad. At that moment, she suddenly felt that she didn't really understand the girl she cared about.

She was frustrated that he had not been able to help her but suggested publishing the book. He said that this was also her expectation of embracing the bright moon.

At that time, she was not yet the Eternal Executive, and she was free without so many restrictions.

After becoming the executive, anything related to tracing the origin could not appear around her, including this book that the Federal Institute did not think was good enough.

"The author's explanation is very rigorous and practical, but I am more curious about the person who rewrote the additional fragments at the end." He looked straight at her with his warm eyes that had captured the entire late autumn, and the falling leaves turned into a smile, "Her point of view is very interesting."

It was that strange feeling again.

It sounded like he was more curious about her than the book.

Just like when he talked about the word "origin", he gave her the impression that he was not discussing a topic related to this book, but was trying to draw out another thing.

He looked at her as if he had recognized who the Rewriter was. Eleanor's eyes darkened, but his abilities should be limited in the Judgment Tower unless he had come into contact with her before.

Eleanor's lips curved with interest, and she said casually: "That may be so, but I think the original author's point of view would be more interesting, but it's a pity that she didn't have time to finish it."

The man just smiled, and did not deny her point of view or agree with it. Instead, he took the initiative to change the topic.

"Ah... I was so busy talking about this that I forgot to introduce myself. I'm really sorry."

"My name is 'Ghost'."

There was a sense of dissonance and weirdness everywhere.
