Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The wind at night was a bit cold, and the wind poured into the suspension car, blowing Hercia's hair. She sat alone in the back row with her head resting on her hands, thinking about what happened just now.

Heshia has never been able to say that she has a good impression of Qiao Long, a marginal member of society. If it weren't for her special talent, she would never agree to it if she was sure that the other party was not lying.

It is not wise to accept the invitation of strangers or even enemies to go to dangerous places.

But because of the talent of the singer, under the perception of soul harmony, Qiao Long's anxiety and regret conveyed, making her fall into a little hesitation, really want to refuse, and then sit back and watch a life die, that person Or she has seen it.

She stood in the corridor and thought for a minute. If she refused this time, it would not be her fault, but she would always feel a little regretful and sad.

How soft-hearted I am, like a fool, Hercia thought to herself.

But if everyone lives in such a smart and profitable way, it will be very tiring. She just obeys the feeling in her heart and does what she wants to do. If even this is distorted, then what is the purpose of all the efforts for it? .

After experiencing many life changes, Heshia has already seen the truth of life clearly, and she no longer pays so much attention to many things that outsiders care about.

"I can't escape this feeling of right"

Although she doesn't like Qiao Long, she doesn't want to go against her heart when it comes to saving lives.

After sorting out the thoughts in her heart, the girl felt inexplicably lighter in her heart, as if some heart barrier had been broken.

"What happened to you tonight?" She said suddenly.

"Sorry, miss, I didn't make it clear to you earlier." Qiao Long replied in time in the front row.

"It's not the fights and fights of lower-level gangs. I'm too embarrassed to disturb your life with such things. This time, I encountered a special situation. The other party is not a normal human being. He is just like Master before, losing his mind and losing control like a wild beast. "

"Are there many such cases?" Originally, Heshia thought that only a few people had encountered the same situation as herself, but according to Joron's description, it seemed that this was not the case.

"In the past, although the underground world was very chaotic, many people went to extremes in pursuit of strength improvement, but generally speaking, it was for desire or ambition, and they would not be so stupid as to make themselves lunatics. That would be no different from death."

"But this time the scope is very wide. It seems that suddenly, there are such a group of people in the underground world. They attack people like mad dogs and make a mess."

"Does the Federation not care about such a situation?" The girl was puzzled.

"The federal government will manage the residential areas above the 70th floor, while some of my companions stay in the world below the 70th floor, which is beyond the reach of the star network, and it is very chaotic."

"Why are you there?"

"Because most of them have no normal identities, just as you think, many of them are scum, black households, fugitives, but there are also some historical reasons, people stranded underground."

"In the corridors of your residential area, you should still see some protest slogans from the past." Qiaolong suddenly said this.

"I know, what are those?" Heshia faintly realized in her heart.

"That's right. In the past, serious protests broke out in Arpeggio City, or in other parts of the north. At that time, the conflict between the residents and the government had reached such a serious level that the federal government even had to mobilize troops from the south to suppress it."

"The decline of the Four-leaf Crystal Starfield has led to many social problems. Benefits are constantly being cut, and life at the bottom is becoming more and more difficult, while a small number of upper-class people are not affected. This leads to deeper and deeper grievances, and finally broke out."

"People smashed government facilities, disrupted surveillance, robbed supermarkets, etc. In the chaos, order gradually collapsed."

"My master was expelled from school because of his involvement in this incident, and left a serious record in the file. As a result, he could no longer enter major colleges to study, and it was even difficult to work. From a highly anticipated genius, Reduced to unemployed vagrants in low-level residential areas."

"Under the government's military threats and gentle tactics, the turmoil of the year gradually subsided, and many people were pardoned, but a small number of core elements in the conflict were expelled, or had serious records in their files, and they were displaced. Survive together in the underground world."

"They also have children and descendants, but those children don't have federal resident ID cards, and they have to live there for the rest of their lives."

"My little brother Blue, the one you think is fat and tall is him. That's how he came from."

"He has been with me for many years, from the age of 15 to the present, from being black and thin when he was a child to being white and fat now. Later, I spent a lot of money to get him an identity at the police station, so that he can enter and exit some facilities in the Federation normally. gone."

"Although such a file is not hard enough to withstand a deep investigation, it is already very good treatment compared to those brothers and sisters underground, and they can even receive free relief meals every month."

"A relief meal..." Heshia was lost in thought.

She has also eaten that kind of thing. To be honest, the taste is very bad. It is to mix artificially synthesized protein powder and other nutrients into the starch, then mix it evenly, compress and seal it, and soak it in hot water to eat it, otherwise it will be difficult to eat. pharynx.

Unless beggars and people who really can't go on, no one will take this kind of food.

But even so, such food is a rare hard currency for the underground world.

Because there is no star network and various facilities and terminals, the electronic federal currency cannot be used in the underground world, and most of them rely on barter.

"Then what do people in the underground world usually eat?" the girl continued to ask.

"Eat trash," Joron replied.

Arpeggio City is an industrial city, and there are also many food production factories. After producing T5\\T6 grade food, there will be many substandard products and waste raw material residues. Although normal people would not want these garbage, but for underground As far as the world is concerned, it is an important product of maintenance.

Every year, there will be underground gangsters fighting and fighting for these 'garbage'. The mass death of normal federal residents will attract the attention of the management AI, but the lives of the underground world are worthless. Three T6-level standard packages can make a small gangster become You kill.

"Does the government and the police know about this?"

"I definitely know it, but maybe I didn't understand it carefully." Qiao Long shook his head slightly.

"As long as we maintain a certain level of security and order, and don't disturb the lives of residents in urban areas above the 70th floor, they won't bother to care about us sewer rats."

"Sometimes we also help the police deal with some inconvenient things, such as looking for people to find lost property, beating certain companies and enterprises, etc."

"Some companies have very good legal affairs, and they will make a lot of profits for themselves within a 'reasonable' range, and then leave after the fact, and then leave the remaining problems to the government. When the government and the police are inconvenient to take action, we are needed. "

"well……"

The girl sighed softly, not wanting to comment on such a gloomy and real world.

"Let's talk about tonight's situation." She turned to ask about tonight's specific matters.

"Okay, what happened tonight is mainly related to the blocked D390 industrial area. There is a milk factory there, and it is also a place where we often receive 'garbage'..." Qiao Long began to talk about the milk factory this time. Then spread the chaos.

...

"In other words, the people who drank their milk have all changed tonight?" The girl gathered her thoughts.

"Yes, because the milk is about to expire, or the milk has already expired. It can't be stored anymore. After it is transported to the underground world, it will be consumed quickly."

"Didn't you guys check it? Oh, I was wrong." The girl shook her head, she was already living on garbage and expired food, so how could she check the taste and safety?

"No check, because it's always been like this before." Jolon replied, and continued.

"When I first drank it, some people said that they felt full of strength and inexplicable excitement, and then many people responded that it was the same, so more people tried it."

"Everyone thought that what they encountered today was a batch of excellent defective products, that is, T4 grade food that was eliminated. T4 grade food has a certain extraordinary effect, even if it is expired and damaged, it is normal to feel that it will bring power."

"In this way, the situation slowly changed during the scramble. Some people became more and more emotional, and began to fight, and the influence expanded until it became unmanageable in the end. Those who drank milk also became like lunatics. Became out of control..."

"The above is all the information I know, I hope it can help the eldest lady."

"Uh, actually, you don't need to call me Miss."

Hercia suddenly realized that Joron's address was wrong. This was the first time he had said that tonight. She had been thinking about it before and didn't pay attention.

"I'm just an ordinary student, and you probably know about my family situation." Heshia denied.

"It has nothing to do with family background. You are willing to take the risk to come to the underground world to save my companion. Out of respect and gratitude for your character, I am willing to call you Miss."

"What happened before, I'm very sorry, it was my mistake. I am willing to accept any punishment you have in the future. If you need me, you can use it as you like."

"It's too humble to be used." The girl shook her head.

"But maybe, there are indeed some things I need to ask you to help me..." She thought of her father who had been missing for nearly a year.

I don't know what happened to him, why he left home suddenly.

The secrets of the past are still waiting for her to reveal step by step.
