Chapter 77 Outer City
In the evening, the city was dim in color. It was quite far away from the solar system, and the black particles floating in the air dispersed more light.
Therefore, the Exiled Star in the evening always has a very desolate feeling.
Jiang Mian looked at the address given by Lin Xuan on the light brain and found that the further he followed the address, the farther he was from the main city. This meant that the Ye Mei that Lin Xuan was at was in the secondary city.
The air quality in the secondary city is naturally not as good as that in the main city.
Although inhaling the air of the secondary city would not pose a life-threatening risk of genetic mutation, and strong orcs would not even be greatly affected, she, a fragile human, still had to wear an oxygen mask.
"Qi Xu, you should put on your oxygen mask too." Jiang Mian put on a smiling mask and tilted his head to look at Qi Xu. "After all, the air in the outer city is not very good."
Qixu shook his head, his pink eyes soft and moist: "No need, Master."
Jiang Mian thought that since Qixu was an orc, it shouldn't have much impact, and since he said it was not necessary, Jiang Mian naturally stopped trying to persuade him.
There is indeed a big difference between the outer city and the inner city, and the difference is not only in the air quality, but also in the people.
On the way to Yemei, Jiang Mian and Qixu saw people or orcs lying on the ground everywhere, just sleeping with newspapers rolled up.
The air in the main city is good, but the cost is high. Most of the people in Exile Star are not rich, so most of them choose to live in the outer city. Since housing also costs money, they cannot afford to live in a house, so they just sleep anywhere.
After a while, Jiang Mian stopped at the entrance of an alley. The computer instructed her to go straight ahead and walk through the long alley.
The dim alley was very crowded with orcs and humans lying on both sides. There were also various wine bottles piled everywhere. You might bump into other people's feet if you walked through it.
At this moment, she felt as if she had arrived at a place where homeless people gathered.
What place did Lin Xuan come from? Ye Mei was obviously a nightclub. It was located in such a chaotic place. The nightclub must be very chaotic as well.
Jiang Mian doubted he could really walk through this long alley. He wondered if he'd get robbed by homeless people halfway through.
What is even more terrifying is that your innocence is lost and violated by many people.
Moreover, as she stood at the entrance of the alley, she had already vaguely sensed the sticky gazes secretly falling on her, greedy and obscene.
Even with the fighting little rabbit Qixiong following her, she still didn't feel safe.
Jiang Mian frowned slightly, and instead of going in, he sent a message to Lin Xuan on his laptop.
Jiang Mian: Where did you go? There's a long alley full of homeless people. If I walked through it, I'd probably get skinned.
Lin Xuan: You’re there now, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, just go straight over there.
Jiang Mian: No, let’s exchange the favor. I’m going home to sleep.
Lin Xuan: No, I'll pick you up myself, okay? I'm already here to pick you up! Don't leave! You have to sing me a happy birthday song! Otherwise, I lose!
If she loses the dare, her fox orc will have his hands chopped off.
Lin Xuan didn't know how the situation turned out like this while she was playing.
She likes to whip the orcs, but she doesn't want to cripple them. It would make her feel ugly, and she doesn't like disabled orcs.
Just now, they were playing with the orcs as a bet. Someone suggested that her fox orc's palm be used as a bet. Given the atmosphere at that time, Lin Xuan agreed to it in a fit of rage. After she came to her senses, she regretted it. However, if she said it out loud, it would spoil the fun and make her lose face. So, Lin Xuan had to put all her hopes on Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian must not leave!
Jiang Mian paused when she saw the news. Since Lin Xuan had said so and even came out to pick her up in person, it was naturally not appropriate for her to leave.
And when Lin Xuan brings out six orcs, the sense of security will increase dramatically.
Soon, Jiang Mian saw Lin Xuan coming with six orcs. She trotted through the long alley with the orcs, her face flushed and she reeked of alcohol.
Lin Xuan excitedly grabbed Jiang Mian's hand: "You're finally here!"
She pulled Jiang Mian into the alley and walked forward: "If you don't come, my fox orc's hand will be in danger."
Jiang Mian:?
"So what's your purpose in calling me here?" Jiang Mian's eyelids twitched slightly, and her gaze swept across the orcs around Lin Xuan. They all had many scars on their bodies, and the ones that were newly inflicted were still bleeding.
She realized that Lin Xuan had not taken her last reminder to heart at all.
"I lost the game and chose Dare. Then that person pointed to you on my laptop and asked you to sing a birthday song for me in Yemei Hall. If you sing, my fox orc's hand will be saved. If you don't sing, Xuanji's hand will be chopped off." Lin Xuan felt a little guilty when she talked to Jiang Mian for some reason.
This was clearly a very normal thing in their eyes, but when they told Jiang Mian about it, they felt like they had done something wrong.
Lin Xuan felt something was strange.
Maybe Jiang Mian and she have different ideas.
Jiang Mian was brainwashed by the Orc Association.
"I'll sing the birthday song." Jiang Mian simply replied, "I've repaid the favor and now we're even."
By then, this neighbor will no longer be a problem.
Lin Xuan seemed to realize something and gritted her teeth. "No, I was just toying with the orcs. Are you trying to distance yourself from me? Orcs are just lowly creatures. It's perfectly natural for humans to keep them captive and toy with them. Even if they die, it doesn't matter. Is that why you don't want to have anything to do with me?"
She quickly spoke up, "Today was an accident. I know you and I have different ideas, so I didn't plan to invite you to a party like this where we play and trample on orcs."
Jiang Mian paused and glanced at Lin Xuan inexplicably: "Why are you explaining so much to me? Do you like me?"
Lin Xuan twitched her lips slightly: "I like handsome men with eight-pack abs and good movements."
After a while, Lin Xuan said again: "Forget it, if we can't play together, then we can't play together."
It's not like she has to keep Jiang Mian as her friend.
As a 2C-level healer, she has no shortage of friends.
Jiang Mian glanced at her and said, "You have a kitten at home, right? If you don't treat orcs like humans, why not treat orcs like pets? What's the difference between abusing orcs and abusing kittens?"
The last time she visited her house, she saw a little white kitten that was very well cared for and had all the necessary amenities.
Lin Xuan frowned. She naturally hated animal cruelty. "But orcs are different..."
"It's all abuse in essence, there's no difference." Jiang Mian's words blocked Lin Xuan's words from arguing.
Lin Xuan was also stunned, as if she was pulled out of the inherent concept of humans keeping orcs in captivity for thousands of years.
She paused, then continued, "Jiang Mian, you must be a speaker in the Orc Association. You're so good at brainwashing people!"
She felt that what Jiang Mian said made sense!
