The exchange between them seemed too noisy. The shackled girl opened her eyes and met Zhou Jinru's gaze.
Judging by their appearance, Zhou Jinru would not recognize most of the girls in Rhode Island, but he could guess from their attire that they were basically the same.
"Are you here to replace my chain with a new one?"
Zhou Jinru: "..."
He did not forget his identity as a hired worker responsible for cleaning and disinfection, and he was not allowed to talk to the prisoners.
"Why do not you speak?"
Zhou Jinru: "..."
Adela rushed over from behind and patted Zhou Jinru on the back, reminding him to hurry up.
Through the bars of the cell, Miss Felin looked carefully at the tall and thin man's face and said to herself: "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Zhou Jinru remained silent, but his movements slowed down and he was not in a hurry to leave immediately.
Adela on the side was responsible for spraying disinfectant and did not notice the strange thing behind her, while Miss Felin continued: "I remembered, I was locked up here, thanks to something I got from you, since I got it , my luck became very bad.”
Crash.
Miss Feilin pulled hard on the chain, but unfortunately she was restrained by thick and long chains, and her range of movement was extremely limited.
Zhou Jinru kept moving, and after he was done, he turned around and left, leaving only the strong man who was still chattering and threatening him to stay away.
There is no doubt that the Feilin girl who is imprisoned in the corner of the special prison is Ye Yan. She has nothing outstanding in terms of combat. There are too many dazzling characters than her, but in terms of infrastructure, she is the top three of the Red Gold Manufacturing Station. One of the pillars, the other two being Gravel and Spot, and also one of the stable yellow ticket outputs.
Zhou Jinru didn't recognize it at first, because the difference between Jingyi's vertical painting and Jing'er's vertical painting was too big. In addition, infrastructure skills did not need to be elite to achieve good results, so a considerable number of players did not invest resources in Ye Yan. Zhou Jinru is also one of them.
In the sitcom, Ye Yan's character is the same as in reality. He was captured by Victoria and was imprisoned in a special prison. The difference is that in reality, Ye Yan successfully escaped from prison and joined Rhode Island. Here, Ye Yan has not yet He had time to escape from prison, or he had already escaped from prison, and was finally captured.
As for what she just said, Zhou Jinru had some vague guesses. Before the end of the first act, he had brought a dice that could change luck with him. Unexpectedly, when the second act began, the dice was missing and there were two in the middle. There is a time difference of several years, and there are no clues even if I try to find it.
If it was true that Ye Yan said that the dice was stolen from her, then she must know its whereabouts.
"what's on your mind?"
Adela tossed the empty bottle of disinfectant in a corner, ignoring a prisoner's pleas for her to throw the bottle over.
Zhou Jinru shook his head and said briefly: "No, I'm fine."
Adela frowned: "I hate people like you the most. You keep everything in your heart and are full of bad ideas."
"You might as well say something useful."
"I need a companion."
Zhou Jinru stopped and looked at Adela curiously: "There are so many people around you, why are you looking for me?"
Adela shook the mop, causing a prisoner who was reading a book to raise his head and yell: "Pay attention, you are throwing water on my book!"
She was indifferent to this, turned around, and faced Zhou Jinru: "She thinks you are suitable, and I think you are suitable, we all think so."
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but whistle: "The men who surround you will be disappointed. They will pour their lovelorn anger on my head. You know, I have a beautiful girlfriend and a With a stable job and enough savings to keep us away from the troubled land of Victoria, there is no need for me to stand with you."
Adela snorted, bent down and continued working, and whispered: "The thinking of a small citizen, the world is about to change. If you don't make a choice in time, you will have no place in any corner of the world."
"It's up to you whether there's a place to stand or not."
Zhou Jinru poured the last cleaning solution on the floor, scrubbed it with a brush, and then exited the special prison with Adela. Several prison guards waiting at the door looked at each other, two of them walked in to check the cleaning progress, and the rest Then let the two of them go to rest.
There were some strange symbols carved on the walls of the ancient prison. Zhou Jinru glanced at them casually and didn't recognize any of them, so he gave up. He sat in the sun and enjoyed the warmth.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Three loud whistles sounded, as if a large ship was passing by the outskirts of the island. Adela climbed up the half-high wall and looked into the distance.
A few minutes later, Zhou Jinru, who was sitting not far away, discovered from his emotional perception that Adela's inner emotions had changed drastically, and her breath had become extremely unstable.
"what happens?"
Zhou Jinru watched Adela climb down from the wall, her face was ugly, her lips were trembling and blue, and her eyes were full of anger and hesitation.
The girl sniffed: "Those are three grain ships. They were supposed to be unloading at the port. The full load of grain could relieve the city's hunger for a while, but now they have left here!"
"Where are they going?"
As soon as Zhou Jinru said the words, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. If the food was not kept locally to solve the problem, it would only go to places that needed it more.
So far, there is no place in mainland Victoria that is more in need of food than the capital Londinium, except for one place, the occupied area.
At the beginning of the third act, Zhou Jinru was still enjoying a delicious meal in the restaurant of a high-end hotel. He did not expect that the bottom floor had reached such an overwhelmed level.
"Maybe it can't get worse?"
"It's only going to get worse!"
Adela's eyes burned with anger, as if she had been betrayed, and Zhou Jinru, who knew nothing about it, could only remind her indirectly: "This is the capital, the center of power in Victoria, and even the properties of many new aristocrats are here. "
"You don't have to remind me."
The girl stood up straight: "Gaul, which became an occupied territory, has not completely disappeared. Even if the country is gone, the people are still there and the land is still there."
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered that Adela seemed to be a Gaul. Although Gaul had been destroyed, its people still called themselves Gaul.
Gaul, which had become an occupied territory, could not be used rationally by Victoria, and it could not even integrate its forces. It could only watch it become a country with extremely high autonomy.
In other words, the occupied area has never made Victoria comfortable. Either there was a fire here, or someone was killed there, so that over the years, it has never become a piece of Victoria's territory.
Since the war destroyed everything in the local area, reconstruction will take time, and the capital that has fled the country is unlikely to come back, at least until the situation is completely stabilized. The Gauls, who are unwilling to face the subjugation of the country, are trying their best to find Victoria. The trouble was delaying the integration of the two areas, and finally evolved into the current situation.
"Gaul is in urgent need of supplies. The passage of these three ships can ease local conflicts, but what about the local problems in Victoria?"
This is a method of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, and the Victoria monarch also implemented it.
There was a little color on Adela's face: "We can't place our hopes on the king, let alone help coming from behind."
Zhou Jinru nodded. When he saw a prison guard approaching, he stood up in advance and pulled the girl beside him to walk over with him.
"Gentlemen, what do you need us to do now?"
"The Second General Prison is short of manpower. You can go there now. The prisoners there are returning to their cells one after another. Pay attention to safety."
The prison guard was so kind that Adela even felt that she had heard wrongly. She had never seen such a kind-hearted prison guard before, and her jaw dropped when she told him that it would be wrong to go out.
Zhou Jinru glanced at her, and his ability to think nonsense with the girl was almost better than that of his own officers. Isn't the reason why the prison guard is so kind-hearted because of his high charm bonus?
By the time they arrived at the Second General Prison, the prisoners had already returned. The treatment of these people seemed to be much better than that in the special prison. At least along the way, Zhou Jinru did not see anyone being shackled.
He was cleaning a single room. The prisoner was a middle-aged man with curly hair. His eyes kept wandering around Zhou Jinru, and he took the initiative to ask: "Are you new here?"
"Hired workers, responsible for cleaning and disinfecting."
The middle-aged man said nothing but said nothing. Just as Zhou Jinru was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Do you know Marquis Vika?"
"have no idea."
Zhou Jinru answered honestly.
The middle-aged man gave a thumbs up: "The standard answer! The Marquis of Vika is a bastard raised by Pero. The reason why I am locked up here is purely because he framed me behind my back!"
Zhou Jinru was puzzled: "Sir, I am just a hired worker."
"No, you're not."
The middle-aged man shook his finger: "I have seen the workers responsible for cleaning, because this is the second time I have been to prison. The previous time I was acquitted and received 1,300 gold pounds in compensation. Coming back to the topic, those The look in the workers' eyes and the way they walk are completely different from yours, and if they don't have a problem, you must be the one with the problem."
"so?"
"I know a painter, and she is the only one who can get me out. If you can bring me a message, I will repay you well after I am released from prison."
"You can say, I can't guarantee it, because I'm not sure whether I can get out alive."
"I can see the difference between you and others." The middle-aged man cleared his throat, "Please tell that painter that I know where the key she wants is. The reason why I was imprisoned last time was because of me and Vika. At the same time, I fell in love with a lady who lost her husband. He framed me out of jealousy. All the nobles saw it. Otherwise, I would not have been released from prison so easily. This time was different. They said I was a Jacobin. , as long as the painter can rescue me, I will agree to any conditions she asks."
Zhou Jinru held on to the mop and rested his chin on the back of his hand: "If I can find the painter, I will bring you your message."
"Thank you. She lives at 198A Baker Street. It's easy to find her."
After silently writing down the address, Zhou Jinru looked up at the middle-aged man and asked, "I also have a question. If you can answer me, I will help you."
"Ha, are there any problems in Victoria that I don't know about?"
"I'm looking for a die. Well, it's a bit weird. Have you heard of anything like this?"
The middle-aged man touched his chin and fell into his report. After a long time, he said uncertainly: "I have been imprisoned for six months, and I have never heard of any anecdotes about the dice before. Either it stayed in a lonely corner." , cannot affect others, or the people affected by it have the ability to cover up the negative effects. I have no way to answer this question, but I can tell you another thing. There is a role-playing game popular among the Victorian aristocrats. I am holding an ancient book, codenamed 'Script'. If you are interested, you can look for it. If you don't reject those ladies, they will definitely not reject you."
"script?"
Zhou Jinru failed to find the whereabouts of the dice, but learned the name of another artifact. However, he was not much different from the prisoners imprisoned here. He could only find it after leaving here.
It was approaching noon, and the employees who had finished their work all morning were sitting around in the square of Vole prison. This was originally the place where the prisoners went for exercise. The prison restaurant could not be used by them, so they had to set up a temporary kitchen in the open air.
The lunch meal was quite simple, it was still hard black bread. The prison cook cut the dried vegetables into small pieces and threw them into the large pot. Then he took out a long and thin sausage and cut it into cubes and mixed it into the vegetable soup. After it was boiled, it was served. It became a delicious lunch for the employees.
Zhou Jinru held the metal lunch box, dipped the black bread in the vegetable soup, finished all the food, and even stuffed the little vegetable leaves on the wall of the lunch box into his mouth.
He glanced at the action team members sitting together, then moved his eyes away, sitting alone and enjoying his lunch break quietly.
Theoretically, they would leave the island on a large ship in the evening. This operation has been ruined. The action team that is destined to return without success needs to think about how to make things more successful.
Just when the hired workers were resting, they saw the guards who were also resting running up the city wall with weapons in hand. Then, a group of guards holding sharp blades surrounded them in a circle.
"what's the situation?"
These guards are a little nervous, but there is no hostility, and there should not be an extremely bad situation.
"All of you, please stay in the prison courtyard. You are not allowed to go out unless necessary."
Soon, all the employees were rushed to one place and looked at each other. No one knew what happened.
Zhou Jinru's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the members of the action team. He remembered one thing. Before they set off, someone had said that in order to cooperate with this operation, the Jacobins would launch a new round of demonstrations in the Western Region. !
