Chapter 58: Polar Night? The City That Never Sleeps



Xing Tiejun was stunned for a moment.

Before he could ask, Qi Mi answered for him, "Remember that little ladybug that destroyed your equipment? I placed it at the door of this children's room when I left. Whenever someone comes in, no matter who stays in this room for 20 seconds, my Ladybug No. 8 will silently fly onto their shoulder."

Qi Mi: "Although I haven't had time to observe the level of your Death Gate, in my experience, it's generally between 1000-1500. If you spot my students, the four ladybugs in their hands will also fly onto you. Each ladybug has a killing power of 105. If five ladybugs are on you, they can hit you a dozen times at most, which will only take a dozen seconds, and you'll be dead... And I believe my students can still buy a dozen seconds to escape."

“…”

Xing Tiejun understood. If he had really found this piece of white cloth during the search just now, he would be dead soon.

After the murderous ladybug flies away, no one may know how it died, and it cannot be blamed on any of its prey. In the end, it can only be labeled as a mysterious death.

This woman's move is really clever.

The more the young city lord listened, the more he felt that his subordinates were stupid and shameful. He stood up, patted his butt and was about to leave.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a girl in green clothes sneaking in.

Yue Xi was stunned when he saw him, but after realizing what was happening, he asked happily, "You are 'food', right?!"

“…”

The young city lord had a gloomy face. He suppressed his anger and helped her untie the bracelet, then left angrily.

In less than an hour, all ten spots were filled.

A heavy stone door slowly rose.

This Carnival City bordered the Nightless City, separated by a stone gate fused with the wall. As soon as the gate lifted, a bright beam of light spread across the ground beneath their feet.

As the stone gate rose, the light became brighter, and it seemed like a blessing that was showered upon everyone.

Qi Mi and other advanced practitioners quickly turned their heads away. For them who already had night vision, the sudden sight of these lights was a bit dazzling.

Only four children looked at the light fearlessly, excited.

After his eyes adjusted, Qi Mi discovered that there was a short corridor in front of him, like a narrow tunnel. At the other end of the tunnel stood a man and a woman. Both of them were wearing professional attire and had standard eight-tooth smiles on their faces. They should be there to greet them.

As the ten people were about to approach, the two bowed slightly to them and said, "Welcome to the City That Never Sleeps. Please line up in an orderly manner and show your residence permits."

Not wanting to squeeze with them, Qi Mi pulled her child to the end of the line again.

Although it is only a stone's throw away from the city that never sleeps, the process is extremely complicated.

The boy who greeted them sat at the table and was responsible for entering their information. The girl next to him was guarding three square boxes and asked them to draw something.

When the boy who was recording the message saw the residence permit that Qi Mi handed over, he paused and looked up at her: "Are you not an advanced person?"

"no."

The boy turned around and gave the girl a look, as if asking if they were allowed to enter in this situation. The girl must have had similar experience. She nodded, took Qi Mi's residence permit, stood up, changed seats with the boy, and sat in front of the computer.

"Ms. Qi Mi, please wait here with these children for a moment. Someone will be here to receive you soon." The girl's tone was gentle, but obviously not enthusiastic, and the smile on her face was just a forced one.

Qi Mi has seen too many rude people here, so she can still accept this attitude of girls. At least on the surface, she seems polite.

After entering the information, the girl gently directed Qi Mi to draw lots nearby: "Please draw five bracelets from the white box."

Qi Mi glanced at the three boxes on the table, which were printed with the logos of a wolf, a rabbit and a fox respectively.

White corresponds to the rabbit.

"Why is it white? I heard you tell them before that they can choose whatever they want... Are you bullying us because we haven't advanced?" Qi Mi frowned.

The girl smiled and spoke in the official language, "Why would you think so, ma'am? The City That Never Sleeps has always upheld the principles of 'harmony, friendship, and common development.' How could anyone possibly bully you? Right now, food, electricity, and other supplies are in short supply. To ensure fairness, our city lord has adopted the principle of 'the more capable, the more work.' He's divided the city's residents into several districts. Every week, someone will represent each district in a fight in the arena. The winner will receive abundant supplies, while the loser may go hungry..."

"The wolves, rabbits, and foxes you saw today are only three of our nine districts. To ensure a balanced population, we've made this suggestion. But don't worry, these nine districts were chosen randomly, and generally, there won't be a gathering of strong individuals."

Qi Mi was lost in thought. He looked back and found that it was just as the girl said. Although this city that never sleeps was brightly lit, it was only limited to a few areas. There were indeed many places in the back that were still in darkness.

It's obvious that they are fighting among themselves.

The street they were currently on had a large tiger pattern printed on the cement road. It must be the best in the city, otherwise the gate of Carnival City would not be opened here.

"What you mean is that there are fewer people in the rabbit area?" Qi Mi stared at the girl.

The girl nodded: "Yes, it is currently the smallest in the nine districts."

"How's your fighting ability?"

"Well..." The girl smiled, looking as if she meant something that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

That should be very weak?

Qi Mi thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the children: "How about we choose the little rabbit?"

Although the four kids didn't understand, in their innocent little heads, they thought that the big bad wolf and the lying fox were both naughty, and subconsciously they all fell in love with the rabbit.

After getting the consent, Qi Mi reached into the white signing box:

"Well, then, let's have the rabbit."

She followed the advice and chose rabbits mainly for two reasons:

One reason is that there are fewer people in the rabbit area, so there are fewer advanced people, and they sound weaker, so it is relatively safer for children to stay there.

Secondly, considering Du Rui and Lang Yu and the others, if we want to maintain balance, the lottery box for the Rabbit Zone should also be here tomorrow. Judging from the girl's attitude today, she is likely to suggest Lang Yu and the others to choose the Rabbit Zone tomorrow.

In this way, the chances of them being in the same area are higher.

The five people put on the bracelets with bunny patterns and waited by the side.

After a while, an open-top sightseeing car drove up and a man in a driver's uniform politely invited the five of them to get in.

"Teacher Qi, where are we going?" Zhao Yize asked while holding Qi Mi's hand.

Qi Fan: "Let's go to the bunny area we chose."

Wang Xiaohu sat across from Qi Mi, squeezed in between Yang Shengzhuang and Wu Muchen. He looked around at the brightly lit street with his bright eyes. After a moment, he asked curiously, "Teacher Qi, why are they all looking at us?"

Yang Shengzhuang also noticed it: "Really, those aliens are looking at us."

Qi Mi glanced at the people on the street and found that they were looking at them as if they were monkeys... Of course, perhaps in the eyes of those people, those of them who had not advanced might be "monkeys".

When the convertible left the tiger area, the pattern on the street changed to a wolf, and it was also brightly lit.

The lottery box is over there, which means that the people in this area are few and strong.

Even the oppressive gazes from passers-by are more obvious.

After turning around the wolf area, it was pitch black. The cute sika deer pattern looked a bit desolate in this atmosphere.

I thought the deer area was the most miserable, but as soon as I arrived at the rabbit area, I was dumbfounded.

Looking around, all you see are low-rise bungalows.

There is a large white rabbit pattern printed on the red brick wall at the entrance of the village, as if it has jumped through an era and returned to the days of hard struggle.

There is a chain of express hotels at the junction of the rabbit area and the deer area. It is a relatively modern one. After the convertible stopped, the driver politely asked them to get off and told them to stay here temporarily until the person in charge of the rabbit area came to pick them up.

After the car drove away, the street fell silent, making this express hotel, which was located in a separate area, look even more desolate.

Qi Mi couldn't help but laugh at himself.

She had made all sorts of calculations, and she only knew that there was a shortage of food and no light here, but she had not expected that the building resources in the Rabbit Area were also the worst.

She turned on her phone and was thinking about how to get the children to accept this place. At this time, Wu Muchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"It's great, it feels like I'm back at my grandma's house."

Inspired by these words, Yang Shengzhuang nodded excitedly: "Yes, it's the same in our hometown! We raise a lot of pigs and chickens! During the Chinese New Year, we even gathered together to make dumplings. It was so much fun!"

Wang Xiaohu only half listened, staring with his two little eyes and looking for it: "What? Dumplings, I love dumplings the most, where are they?!"

Qi Mi sighed and patted his little head: "Teacher Qi promised you that there will be dumplings, but it will take a few days... Let's go in and rest and wait for other friends who haven't completed their tasks yet?"

"good!"

The children were not affected by the environment and followed Qi Mi into the hotel.

Although the hotel facilities are old, they are surprisingly clean. I wiped the counter at the front desk and there was no dust at all.

"You only know how to cram people in here! What's the point of having so many people when there's no food?" The voice arrived before the person arrived. A loud-voiced woman came from the corridor, cursing. Seeing Qi Mi with four children, she was stunned for a moment, then her brows frowned even deeper. "Oh my god, there are four more people to carry with them. It seems that our Big Rabbit District is really hopeless!"
