Chapter 52: Decadent Past (1)
"Are all the things ready?"
"It's all here."
"Did you delete the official invitation?"
"No, it's here." Dorota shook the terminal on her wrist and pulled up the information for her to see. "It's this, but why do you have to keep it? Will anyone check it?"
"Yes, if not, it will be blocked outside."
You Bai confirmed that there was no missing item, and went over it in his mind again before he felt relieved. By the way, he also helped Dorota check the luggage. They would be staying in the imperial capital for about a month. "I won't be able to come out to pick you up then."
Two weeks passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when a new life began.
It's hard to believe that not long ago she was still "loving and killing" with that gang of criminals, and later she was running around in Huiying.
The poor are full of conflicts and contradictions. Food, medicine, money, any one of them may become a fuse. Huiying has been trying to ease the situation, but her methods are a bit indecisive.
Baihe's methods are very direct, violence or mental manipulation, and she is still an illegal resident outside and doesn't have so many concerns. She guarantees that everyone will be honest and build a harmonious society perfectly.
Kuye Teng thinks there are drawbacks. Black Goat thinks seriously for a moment, and then says that the teacher must have her reasons for doing so.
Dead Leaf Vine: “…”
She is currently in contact with “Hui Ying” in her original identity as the leader “White Crane”, but most of the members of Hui Ying have a very good impression of her and basically obey her arrangements. If she says east, they will never go west, and they have no objections at all.
It’s just that Dead Leaf Vine seems to have a little misunderstanding, but it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect the usual decision-making much.
Hui Ying is also in urgent need of expanding its power, but due to Gui Yi’s “eyes”, it dare not do it too obviously.
At the beginning, she specifically asked Hui about Gui Yi’s itinerary for today, but even so, she couldn’t make any big moves. They developed some inconspicuous areas, accommodated those people into their own camp, and tried not to attract attention.
Rong Ye Gu just completed the formalities and documents two days ago. As long as the process is completed, Hai Li will come to the thirteenth district.
Time passed in a flash, and it was not until she was about to report to the executive building that Bai He hurriedly changed her identity and rushed back to school.
She was not afraid of running into Mu Jie. By the time he realized something was wrong, she had been in the executive building for who knows how many days.
"The keys have arrived, and we can almost go."
You Bai was actually familiar with the process, but there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents, so Yan Xieyuan planned to accompany him.
There are barriers on the outer layer of the imperial capital, and people without authorization in the fifteenth district are not allowed to enter. Although this is the official rule, the occasional boats that come and go are still conducting private transactions, carrying those unregistered people as long as they pay enough money.
The only way to the imperial capital is also special.
After the ship passes through the special sea area designated by the inspection institute, the transported goods and boats will not change, but the people on the boat will appear in the edge of the imperial capital.
Boarding the one-way boat, Dorota stood on the deck and felt the breeze, leisurely thinking that her original appearance was recorded when she went through the formalities, and Guiyi might have seen it.
At this time, he was probably waiting for her at the door of the executive building.
Dorota thought about it and put it out of her mind. She looked at You Bai who ran out to get some fresh air because of seasickness and laughed, "I have never seen a senior official get seasickness. Are you okay?"
"Not very well." You Bai shook his head and pointed at himself, "Now that you have seen it, how do you feel?"
"This is not funny, senior sister."
After they really stepped into the scope of the imperial capital, after their identities were verified, the guide took them to their destination.
The sensor door that had just arrived not far away suddenly slid open, and the office workers who were rushing in and out stopped in their steps, tensed their nerves, and lowered their heads and dared not look. The looters who passed by did not hold back and oppress, allowing the people around them to feel uneasy and fearful.
Dorota raised her eyes and met Guiyi's indifferent gaze. It was an almost impossible coincidence that happened.
He was walking towards here.
Behind him were several dignitaries, and the assistant officer of the regulatory area was standing beside him. His gray eyes were like himself, quiet, steady, and cold. It seemed that he would never break the peace and let the waves of emotions reverberate. Yanxun
saw him from afar and couldn't control his emotions for a moment. He opened his mouth to say something. The
people in his field of vision walked by without knowing it. It was just a passing by and a meeting. They were strangers who didn't know each other.
It was as if the air was sucked out, a suffocating feeling squeezed his body, the vortex of overly agitated emotions swallowed him, leaving only empty ashes dismantling all words, he couldn't breathe.
He clenched his palms, and quickly loosened them.
As long as he met him again, no matter what he looked like, he would not fail to recognize his blood relative.
Now is not the opportunity, wait a little longer.
"Are you surprised?"
Dorota stepped forward to block those eyes with ulterior motives, and stopped them from paying attention to the strange visitor with similar eyebrows and eyes to the assistant officer. She walked in front of Guiyi, "But I almost died in that fire."
Guiyi's expression was still fixed on indifference, he just closed his eyes, and his deflected gaze finally fell on the person in front of him. The executive officer's slightly cool fingertips stroked her neck, leaving a bloody mark. He
was only a few centimeters away from the artery. He didn't need to get any closer. He could easily cut off the weak and soft flesh of his subordinate.
Dorota raised her lips more wantonly. She leaned forward and lowered her voice to mock: "Are you really going to kill me?"
"Isn't your style to make the best use of things? After so many years of not seeing you, have you become more easily affected by emotions?"
Guiyi didn't care about her contemptuous attitude that went beyond respect and what she said. He withdrew his hand and still looked at her without warmth, "But you survived and went to the 15th District."
"You suddenly showed up this year and studied at Slane College under a false identity. So what have you done in the past ten years since you left the institute?"
As soon as Guiyi finished speaking, Babensken asked impatiently, "You have been deliberately hiding your whereabouts. In addition to being afraid of being discovered, I'm afraid you have connections with those rebel organizations?"
Guiyi glanced at him and didn't give him any face at all, "Don't talk too much. Did I let you speak?"
Babensken stopped talking obediently.
"Because I don't want to be taken back to the institute to do those rubbish experiments again." Dorota felt that she had seen a very funny joke, and she was interested, "It seems that the bishop still likes to be a dog for our chief. He is really loyal."
Babensken responded with a deliberately provocative smile, and threw bombs at the human minepoint crazily, "That's better than some poor insects who are struggling to survive, right?"
"Anyway, you are the only one left." He said slowly, and seeing Dorota's face darken, he happily picked up his arrogance again, "In my opinion, it's better to leave early, maybe you can catch up with the ghosts of your deceased relatives."
Dorota put away her hypocritical emotions, she stared at him, her undisguised hatred seemed to want to tear out his flesh and bones alive, "Remember your words, it's best not to let me find an opportunity."
She will not let them go, absolutely not, she will survive by any means, and take the lives of these despicable people.
"Then please." Gui Yi stepped aside and motioned Dorota to continue forward. You Bai, who was separated by a distance, knew nothing about the turmoil here. When she saw the leader was going to take Dorota away, she suddenly panicked, but was stopped by another person.
Dorota finally gave her a reassuring look before leaving. You Bai still couldn't help but worry. This time, Nian Xianyuan took the initiative to stop her, "Believe her. This is the imperial capital. If anything happens, we can't help."
"...Okay." She couldn't say anything to refute it. She could only watch the familiar figure disappear. You Bai calmed down and finally followed the staff in charge of leading the way.
Nian Xianyuan sighed, turned around and prepared to leave this place of trouble, but someone reached out to stop him.
"I'm sorry, you can't leave here." The man said apologetically, but his expression did not show any apology. He conveyed the order from his superiors in a cold voice, "Our master wants to see you."
"Maybe you need to wait here for a while, okay?"
The tone was completely unacceptable.
Nian Xianyuan guessed that this trip would probably not be so easy, and it was he who took the initiative to apply. He looked in the direction where the assistant officer disappeared. He had already prepared not to back down.
...It's been a long time since we last met, brother.
"Nian Xianyuan will be left here."
The observer who always insisted on not contacting in the imperial capital suddenly said this. Dorota was a little surprised, not to mention that Guiyi was right next to her, although the other party seemed to be busy with other things.
"It's okay, don't worry." Dorota said the last two sentences and then cut off the communication. "Don't let Guiyi find out."
She looked at Guiyi who was looking at her sideways. "What? Do I have to go in here? The upper management's despicable means are going to be used on me?"
"You should know that I can't delete the memories of other predators." Guiyi said slowly, "If you want to work in the executive building, then for safety, of course you have to clear it."
Dorota sneered, "Clear? It's extraction, right?"
The clearing chamber that the imperial capital spent a lot of money to build is of course not just for the purpose of erasing memories. What they really value is the extraction function that can be played out.
As disgusting as ever.
The wires of the instruments spread coldly, clinging to the warm body surface like greedy snakes, and the huge container stood silently. Dorota lay in the cabin, watching the cabin door gradually close in front of her eyes, and transparent liquid surged up.
Her mouth and nose were submerged in the cold touch, she closed her eyes, and sank into the endless past along with the warm and undulating water flow.
It was an overly distant memory.
