Colonial Suit

#477 - Eye of Dust

Let's set aside Lier for the moment. Blood瞳 had already left the Losmelt space station. ㊣(╯▽╰) E-book download**

The matter with Kers was over. With Chris Vena in control, no one on this space station would be hostile to him anymore. Of course, this was only temporary. As long as Blood瞳 didn't complete that punishment mission, he would never be forgiven by the Mercenary Headquarters.

However, Blood瞳 didn't need to act immediately. Because the mission involved too many strong individuals, the Mercenary Headquarters also needed time to gather resources. The specific time was set for a month later. During this time, Blood瞳 could act freely, as long as he remained within Heck's sight.

“Don't look at me like that. I'm a victim too.” Heck shrugged his shoulders, looking completely innocent as he said to Blood瞳. “If you hadn't killed Kers, Headquarters wouldn't have had me monitor you. But don't worry, feel free to do whatever private things you need to do. I'll just pretend I didn't see anything.”

“Like you and those two little ones.”

“............” Blood瞳 was speechless for a moment, while the twin siblings next to him immediately blushed a deep red. In their embarrassment and anger, they almost grabbed their weapons to kill Heck.

“Hahahaha......” Laughter filled the team. Everyone was immersed in the rare relaxed atmosphere.

Walking out of Losmelt, Blood瞳 turned his gaze to Heck. “Where are we going now?”

“Of course, to our destination.” Heck smiled slightly, speaking mysteriously. “That's a good place. Let me tell you, even in the entire Fourth World, countless people are breaking their heads trying to get in. It's just a pity that most of them can't even find the location.”

“Can't find it?” Blood瞳 was stunned. “Lord Heck, are you saying......”

“Just a disordered plane.” Heck shrugged his shoulders, answering casually. “It's just that this disordered plane has been privatized. Only familiar guests can find its location.”

“A privatized disordered plane!” Robbie next to him was immediately startled.

This was no small matter. Everyone knew the importance of planes. In a sense, a plane was a fragment that didn't belong to the universe's spatial system. It could be infinitely large or infinitely small. In past records, any discovered plane was classified as top secret. It was something that all forces would treat as a treasure.

But such an important place was actually being privatized. Wasn't its owner afraid of being coveted by other forces? Just like possessing a valuable treasure?

“Hey, surprised?” Heck was very satisfied with Robbie's reaction. He revealed a smug smile. “Don't worry, this isn't impossible in the Fourth World. You should change your perspective. You have to know that in a world of this level, the abundance of resources far exceeds your imagination. So even a small plane is just a type of resource.”

“We're going to such a private plane. And its owner... is a friend of mine.”

As Heck said this, he led the group out of Losmelt's subspace partition. They appeared in the giant bubble of Gutani Planet. Through the transparent pipes connecting countless bubbles, they quickly arrived in front of a giant city. This was a city built directly in a giant bubble, a unique construction method of Gutani Planet.

Because the entire Gutani Planet was liquid, building land cities here required placing them in bubbles. Moreover, these bubbles weren't permanent. They generally only lasted about fifty years. When a bubble was about to burst, the city's managers would need to replace it with a new bubble.

So in the Fourth World, some people called Gutani Planet 'Momoya America', meaning the utopia of bubbles.

Blood瞳 didn't understand why it was called a utopia at first, but he quickly found out.

Standing on the city streets and looking up, he saw that the entire dome was a bubble membrane. Through this membrane, he could see the bodily fluids of Gutani Planet. The strange scene was like being in a dream. Soft artificial sunlight shone in from the dome, creating day and night for the entire city. On the city streets, old cars sputtered black exhaust fumes and staggered, making people think they had returned to ancient times.

That's right, this city was entirely in the style of the ancient machine age. It had none of the characteristics of the Fourth World's advanced civilization. If it weren't for the fact that you could see the scene outside above your head at any time, anyone would believe they were dreaming.

“This is a city specifically built for nostalgists.” As he walked down the street, Heck introduced to Blood瞳 and the others. “To satisfy spiritual needs beyond extreme material abundance. Here, everything is built according to the style of ancient civilizations, everything is real and not illusory. You can see old cement, steel bars, and gasoline-burning cars.”

As he spoke, Heck stretched out his right hand by the roadside. Soon, a yellow car stopped beside him. The car clearly had 'Taxi' written on it.

“............” Blood瞳 was speechless again. Everything in front of him subverted his understanding. He really couldn't imagine how much effort and resources it would take to build such a city on a liquid planet. And all of this was just to satisfy some people's nostalgia and curiosity.

It was really... too extravagant.

However, seeing the satisfied expressions of the pedestrians on the street, Blood瞳 felt that this was the inevitable product of civilization developing to a certain stage. Extremely abundant materials caused spiritual emptiness. And then materials were used to satisfy the spirit. This was an embodiment of civilization evolving to a certain extent. It was just limited to ordinary people.

“Hey, are you guys getting in or not? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go to Mike's concert!”

The taxi driver's shout came from his ear. Blood瞳 and his companions exchanged glances, and then followed Heck into the old car.

Afterwards, the car merged into the rolling traffic of the street.

Along the way, Heck guided the driver forward, and soon arrived at a certain area in the center of the city. Strangely enough, the closer Blood瞳 got to this area, the more dilapidated the scene he saw. Dilapidated streets, broken street lights, mottled and peeling walls. Everything looked like an old slum. Sewage flowed across the streets, surrounded by beggars in ragged clothes and prostitutes in revealing clothes. Neon lights, half broken and half still flashing, and even, junkies crouching on the roadside.

It was hard to believe that such a dilapidated place would be in the core area of ​​the entire city. But that was the fact, and everything here was real, including the beggars and prostitutes.

“Everyone has the right to choose their own life. When materials are extremely abundant, people will want more.” In the car, Heck talked eloquently. “Maybe in most people's minds, beggars are pitiful, but they don't care. They want to experience the insecure life of being bullied. They can be satisfied here.”

“Cheap.” Blood瞳 came to the conclusion, but his mind recalled the doomsday world he came from. How much he wanted to leave that cruel world at the beginning, but now, many people wanted to experience this kind of life instead. If it wasn't cheap, then what was it?

“Maybe.” Heck shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Then he called the driver to stop. “But you have to respect other people's choices. Because, this is freedom!”

The car stopped, and a dilapidated small bar appeared in front of Blood瞳 and the others. The door of the bar was made of wood, with many ugly graffiti painted on it. A crooked nude lamppost hung above the bar. Half of the light bulbs were broken.

The ⊥ newest ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“We're here.” Heck said to Blood瞳 like this, and then led everyone into this small bar.

The bar was very chaotic, with scantily clad women and bare-chested men everywhere. They reveled wantonly, partying with alcohol and drugs. No one gave Blood瞳 a second glance. Heck led them through the crowd, and finally arrived at a cubicle in the bar. As soon as he opened the door, a pungent smell of alcohol hit him in the face.

He could see wine bottles everywhere in this small cubicle of less than ten square meters, with only a dirty sofa. A 'pile' of people was lying on the sofa.

The reason why the word 'pile' was used to describe it was because this person was too fat. At first glance, it looked like a pile of fat. The volume alone almost occupied the entire cubicle. A body of undulating fat swayed, with several naked girls lying on it.

“Hey, guess who I saw? Isn't this Heck? Why do you have time to come here? This is really rare.”

The fat meat made a deafening sound. Blood瞳 then saw his face. A ball of meat where even the eyes could not be seen. If this could be considered a 'face'.

However, Heck's expression was natural, still with a lazy smile, and said, “Barr, long time no see. How are you?”

“Oh, of course. I'm fine, but if you're willing to pay back the gambling debt you owe me last time, I'll be even better.” Barr said with a thunderous voice. While saying that, he shook his fat and patted a baby on his body. Take my collection over here. Today is a good day. Let me have a good drink with Little Heck. Maybe I can get back the gambling debt.”

The girl charmingly winked at Heck, then twisted her slender waist and went out. She didn't care at all that she was completely naked.

Barr then said to Heck. “Okay, my dear brother, tell me, what is your purpose this time? Although time is the least valuable thing here, if you don't explain it first, I will always feel uneasy and even drinking will become tasteless.”

“............” Blood瞳 was speechless for a while. Listening to this guy's meaning, it seemed that Heck had scammed him before?

Heck touched his nose and finally revealed a hint of embarrassment. “I said, Barr, you don't have to be so careful every time, do you? Could it be that I can sell you?”

“It's never wrong to be careful. Besides, it's not the first time you've sold me.” Barr grinned and smiled. “Not only me, in the Fourth World, how many guys haven't been sold by you? Don't be modest...”

“You guy.” Heck was finally helpless. Then he nodded to Blood瞳. Gradually restrained the smile.

“Let me introduce to you. His name is Barr. Nicknamed Microscopic Eye. He is the most knowledgeable bastard in the entire Fourth World. You have to rely on him to find clues for this purpose.”
