At night, Haixin City, illuminated by the hazy light golden simulated light source, is brilliant and beautiful.
Visitors from both inside and outside the empire gathered here, each looking for their own fun.
Wine and beauty, dazzling jewelry, delicacies on land and sea, speed racing, and simulated Star Wars are all available. The bustling place is no less than a first-class city in the capital star circle.
However, all the bustle and bustle outside has nothing to do with Yulia.
She huddled quietly in a corner of the attic, hoping that the bad guys who were rummaging through the boxes downstairs would leave early.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that her existence was completely invisible in front of those with abilities.
Soon, Yulia was grabbed by the collar and carried out.
"Little girl." The man with a tall hooked nose said viciously: "Hand over the valuables, as well as food and water."
Yulia's tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.
Not only is there no point in crying, it may also anger these people and lead to a beating.
She had experienced this kind of thing several times in the week since her grandfather was arrested.
"Uncle." Yulia forced a smile: "Several groups of people have come before, but there is nothing at home now, really."
Her stomach made a bowel sound at this moment, confirming her words.
The hook-nosed man frowned and let go of his hand, and pushed her to the ground: "Damn, what's this? I finally managed to avoid the guards all over the street and get in. I didn't expect that this house looks big, but what's the matter? nothing!"
Two other men also went up to the attic. The man with the tattoo on his cheek responded: "The city has been tight outside and tight inside these days, and brothers have been warned not to go out as much as possible - it doesn't matter if the life is boring, we can't even guarantee food! "
Another bald man stared at Yulia for a while, and suddenly licked his lips heavily: "It's not that I can't survive a few hungry meals, but when it comes to the fun in front of me, I can't let it go."
"This little girl is only seven or eight years old, how can she feel?" The hooked man disagreed: "It would be bad to get into trouble for something like this."
The bald man didn't take it seriously at all. He knelt down and pinched Yulia's chin, forcing her to raise her head. He watched with satisfaction as her eyes widened in horror:
"What are you afraid of? In recent times, it is impossible for the police department to pay attention to us."
The man with the tattoo also rubbed his hands at this time: "Brother Xiaohui is right. This girl's family has committed a serious crime, and maybe she will be implicated. Rather than die in vain then, it is better to be cheaper now. A few of our brothers."
As he spoke, he bent down, grabbed a handful of Yulia's long hair, put it to his nose and sniffed, showing an expression of enjoyment.
"Please, please." Yulia's voice trembled: "I can find food for you, and I can also wash your clothes and shine your shoes, as long as you let me go."
Her begging received no mercy. The hooked man stood aside indifferently, while the bald man slapped her to the ground and reached out to her collar.
Yulia stopped struggling and closed her eyes.
Her heart was beating so fast, and her body was shaking uncontrollably with fear.
Grandpa, please bless me and let me live. I don’t want to die yet.
The expected violent storm did not fall. Someone gently held her hand: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
The hand was not big, but it was as gentle and firm as the voice.
Yulia slowly opened her eyes and found that the three men before had disappeared, replaced by two boys.
One of them was slightly taller and stood with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking. The other one was about the same age as her, with dark and bright eyes, and was looking at her with a smile.
"We are your grandfather's friends. He asked us to take care of you, and we happened to meet those bad guys."
"Just now?" Yulia asked hesitantly.
Those people all looked very tough, but they didn't look like they could let go easily. She couldn't figure out what happened, how could they disappear without a trace?
"Don't worry, you will never see them again." Sillo said while pulling Yulia up.
"Are you hungry?" She took out a bag of food like a magic trick: "Answer us a few questions first, and then you can have a good meal. Tomorrow at the latest, your grandpa will be back. This nightmare is about to end."
"Yeah." Yulia laughed and nodded vigorously.
In the dark basement, there were seven or eight large silver cages, which contained several handsome mermaids, both male and female.
They have all been given a secret medicine that can only maintain the state of mermaids. They cannot transform back into human bodies, let alone use any source energy.
"Did you hear that we won't be auctioned off tonight?" said a mermaid with a beautiful lake-blue long tail.
"Really?" The eyes of the other mermaids were bright: "Julian, will they let us go home?"
"How is that possible? I heard that for a period of time, no more contraband will be auctioned here, including us."
"So, we don't have to separate for the time being, we can still stay together in Haixin City?"
"Probably." Julian said, but the sadness on his brows lingered.
The heavy door slowly slid open, and several people in uniform walked in.
Looking at the source energy guns in their hands, Julian's heart sank. It seems that his previous worries have really come true.
"Kill them all." The leader ordered.
"Why?" A beautiful female fish asked in horror, holding her hands tightly on the fence.
The leader waved his hand and stopped the attack that was about to start.
"You are just unlucky. My Lord has issued an order to clear up all risks and hazards. There has not been any mermaid auction in the Aurora Sea before, and there will never be any mermaid auctions in the future."
He shook his head slightly when he said this: "But don't worry, there will be many people accompanying you on the road."
With a wave of their palms, the executioners silently pulled the trigger.
Bright green energy erupted from the muzzle and then inexplicably stagnated in the air.
"Ahhh!" The screams came from the mouths of the gunmen. They threw away the energy guns in their hands, waved their hands and cried.
Julian plucked up the courage to look outside and saw a cluster of light blue flames spreading from their palms to their arms, still showing no intention of stopping.
The leader used his source energy repeatedly, trying to extinguish the flames on his subordinates, but it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the blue fire burn even more fiercely.
"Who is doing this?" He was furious, his eyes were like knives, and he glanced sharply at the mermaid in the cage: "Do you think these little tricks can help you escape? Stop dreaming!"
He clicked his hands slightly, and a stream of source energy turned into a large blade, flying towards the mermaids who had no power to resist.
"That's enough." Xi He suddenly appeared in the room. He obviously didn't make any move, but the sharp blades rolled back and cut the leader into pieces.
In the astonished gazes of Julian and others, a very bright green light appeared in his palm, which turned into several tiny green light spots and flew into the foreheads of the mermaids.
Then they discovered that the previously obscure source energy core in their bodies suddenly became clear and bright, operating freely.
The secret medicine that restricted them suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The cage door opened silently, and the mermaids who transformed into human forms came out and knelt down to Xi He piously.
"Wait for a while before going out. Someone will take you home." After he said that, the person disappeared.
Mervyn stood on the top floor of Xingchang Mansion, overlooking Haixin City below. In his mind, he quickly went through all the matters in Aurora Sea, making sure that there were no omissions.
Just now, the latest order has been conveyed, and countless soldiers and guards are pouring like mercury into the prison and various places to clean up the pending suspects and their families, as well as the family members of all previously executed prisoners.
They are full of resentment towards the Star Government and themselves. If they are encountered by an inspector, there is a high probability that they will talk nonsense and break the current good situation.
Therefore, he must not take this risk. The lives of these people were affected, and Bliss helped to cover them up. It was not a big deal.
As long as tonight is passed, the Aurora Sea under his leadership will be impeccable and can withstand scrutiny and inspection from all aspects.
The Mio Empire is so vast, and Aurora Sea's assessment this year is Grade A. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the inspector to come to the door so early.
And after tomorrow, he should still look forward to the arrival of the supervisory envoy, because he will most likely rise to the top due to his outstanding political performance, and even be awarded a title.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mervyn's lips.
"Bring in a glass of ice wine." He told Ji Le.
What responded to him was not bliss, but a strange and cold voice:
"Captain Mervyn. I am Lin. Since during your reign, Bliss ignored the laws and regulations of the empire and committed various serious crimes and has been detained pending trial, I have full authority to take over all matters related to Bliss."
"As for your crimes, I have handed them over to the Supervisor, who will have full authority to deal with them."
The door opened and footsteps sounded. Mervyn turned his head with difficulty to look at the person coming, his face was ashen.
