"Where is K?"
“Uptown in the Rocky Mountains, it’s like he built a house of his own.”
Half an hour later.
Cain stood in front of a castle surrounded by water on three sides, turned around and asked, "You call this a house?"
"Yeah..." Li Liang raised his head, also speechless.
The typical Gothic castle in front of you is tall and thin, with pointed arches and ribbed vaults scattered at random, and huge long windows inlaid with stained glass, revealing hazy light.
"Go in and have a look."
The two walked across the suspension bridge and came to the four-meter-high main entrance.
Boom boom boom.
Cain kicked the door several times, but there was no response from inside. She put her ear to the door and was stunned for a moment: "What's the sound?"
"Huh?" Li Liang also put his ear close to the crack of the door and vaguely heard a "wailing".
"Ah~~um~~~ah——"
It's not one person's voice, it's the voice of a group of people.
Cain subconsciously reached out to touch his waist, but found nothing. He said solemnly: "It sounds like there are many people. What is he doing?"
"..."
Li Liang said helplessly: "You don't know what this is?"
"What..." Cain blinked, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand to operate the retinal projection.
"What are you doing?"
"Have the drone deliver a grenade launcher."
"Wait a minute," Li Liang said, dumbfounded, "I'll send him a message."
He raised his wrist, touched the bracelet, found K's ID, and sent a message.
During this period, in order to observe the real life of ordinary people in the upper city, he programmed a fake ID in the system with only the most basic permissions. This bracelet allows him to handle some emergency matters with the highest permissions.
A few minutes later.
With a bang, a slightly smaller iron door opened a gap next to the main entrance.
One after another, chants came out along with the symphony, and a spark lit up in the darkness inside the door. Then, amid the smoke, a man in a tuxedo appeared. His coat was open, and he was wearing nothing underneath. His muscular lines Like a knife carving an axe.
"call--"
The man blew out a puff of smoke, shook his hand to extinguish the match. When he looked up, a strand of hair hung down on his pale cheek, and then... he took a step to the side, avoiding Cain's kick, and spread his hands and said: "Welcome Come, two bosses."
"K," Li Liang looked up and down, "What are you doing?"
"I threw a gang party."
"What gang?" Cain asked in surprise.
"Spade," K held Li Liang and walked toward the door, "Shangcheng District Branch."
When walking through the circular corridor, Li Liang noticed that the castle's atrium was high and spacious, with numerous beams composed of multiple pillars, long stained glass windows, and niches in a pointed style, decorated with complicated carvings.
In the swaying candlelight, countless bodies are entangled in colorful silk and satin, looking like a baroque oil painting with rich ink and colors.
Seeing this scene, Cain snorted and walked up the steps quickly.
The stairs spiraled upward, and the three of them entered the room in the turret.
The room was simply decorated, with a set of sofas in the center and many sealed boxes stacked against the walls.
K closed the door, took out the cigarette case and handed it over.
Li Liang waved his hand and asked casually: "What's going on downstairs?"
K does not refuse women, but he believes that K is not just addicted to carnal desires.
"I think the people in Uptown are like children," K leaned on the box with his arms folded, "Sir, do you still remember the South Side Gang in Mexico City?"
"Uh-huh," Cain sat on the sofa, holding Oumuamua in his arms.
South Side Gang?
Li Liang felt that the name was very familiar. It seemed that in the scene where Machsas's magic talisman appeared, the gang founded by Zhuosi Yingling, Chen Xi's father, was called the South District Gang. However, that was before the establishment of Tianmu. Things have passed hundreds of years, and it is unlikely that they will still be passed down.
"The South District Gang likes to train children. It is said that they have a secret base. When ordinary children go in, they turn into skilled killing machines. With these boy scouts, they control a large number of arms workshops..." K sneered, " People in the upper city do know a lot of knowledge, but most people don't understand what evil is at all. If they are thrown into the lower city, they will soon be brainwashed by gangs and become cannon fodder."
Li Liang nodded: "Yes, so we need a gradual reform plan."
"Have you brainwashed those people downstairs?" Cain laughed.
"Well," K said casually: "When I first came here, I found that there is really no crime in Shangcheng District, because there is no law at all here, and there is no issue of profit distribution. However, as long as there are people, there must be violations of the rules. It took me a week to find the 'black market' in Uptown."
"Black market?" Li Liang couldn't believe it, "Is there a black market in Shangcheng District?"
"Yes, but there is only one kind of thing sold on the black market." K took out a plastic bottle from the box behind him and poured the contents on the coffee table. It looked like some white pills.
"Hallucinogens?" Cain picked up one, smelled it, and shook his head, "No, people in uptown can get hallucinogens at any time."
K smiled evilly: "You must not have guessed that this thing is a contraceptive produced in Xiacheng District."
"Um?"
Li Liang was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly.
Ling Yi said that the social model originally established by Li Shuang predicted that human beings will die naturally within two thousand years. The reason is the loss of "desires", including the desire to reproduce. Xi'an has always encouraged people to participate in social activities and match up men and women of the right age with partners, presumably to stimulate physical desire and ensure a natural pregnancy rate.
In this way, birth control pills are indeed considered contraband.
K explained: "Normally, when a woman in Shangcheng District becomes pregnant, the breeding center will remove the embryo from her body in about two weeks, so pregnancy basically has no impact on life, but there are still some people who are very resistant to pregnancy, so There is an organization that believes in Machiavellian interests..."
"Machiavellianism?" Li Liang thought of the philosophy books he read during this period. Machiavellianism simply refers to the objectification and manipulation of others in human nature.
"Yes, they started a black market for contraceptive pills."
Cain wondered, "What do they use to buy drugs on the black market?"
"People who want to buy medicine will be organized to give 'likes' to those who need 'likes,'" K said with a smile. "You can also use game props in 'Middle-earth' to trade directly."
Li Liang was quite speechless: "What then?"
"I don't understand Machiavelli, but I understand gangs," K shrugged. "Give me another three months, and I can corner the illegal contraceptive market in Uptown."
Cain laughed: "Then you make a ton of fucking likes."
K gave a thumbs up: "That's right."
Li Liang smiled and shook his head.
It can be seen that the reform plan must be very cautious. These people in the upper city are indeed easily exploited by gangs and create unstable factors.
After laughing, K asked: "Have you had dinner tonight?"
"No," Li Liang said casually, "Let's order something to eat."
"what is it call?"
Li Liang and Cain looked at each other, looked at Oumuamua at the same time, and then said in unison with Oumuamua:
"More fries."
K was stunned for a moment: "Can this stuffed toy eat French fries?"
"I'm Oumuamua," Oumuamua said dully, holding on to his hat.
More than ten minutes later.
The food delivered by the drone was placed on a coffee table.
Cain was giggling as he teased 'Oumuamua with chips.
On the other side, K leaned on the sofa, nibbling an apple and asked: "Robben hasn't come back yet?"
"No," Li Liang slowly and methodically ate an eel bento, "I guess it will be soon."
"Where's Massey?"
"In Zhongjing," Li Liang paused while holding the spoon, "Zhizhi's condition is very strange. When Teemo comes back, I have to go to the Shamu Realm again."
"Well," K glanced at Cain quietly, lowered his voice and said vaguely: "Did she talk about the 'New World'?"
"No," Li Liang took a mouthful of rice, "I'll talk to you later."
"Okay," K thought for a moment and then asked, "You have been in the upper city area during this period. What is the reaction from the Hall of Valor and the Temple of Gods?"
Li Liang wiped his mouth: "If you want to see me, I don't agree. Let's wait for now."
"Can't kill?" K smiled.
Li Liang remained silent.
At this time.
Cain stuffed the last fries into his mouth, picked up Oumuamua and said, "Let's go, K."
"Where are you going?" K put on his sunglasses.
The two of them looked over at the same time, and Li Liang smiled and said, "Next stop, the temple."
