Chapter 28: Business? Of course it’s serving the proprietress!
"You finally remember to do a serious business?" Xiziyue looked contemptuous, "I thought you were obsessed with the role of boss lady these days and forgot who you are."
Ye Mengjiat patted Xiziyue's shoulder with bright eyes: "The main thing is to serve the guests, and of course we have to serve the boss's wife next!"
"Get out." Xiziyue gave a cold look...
"Tsk, so unconventional." Ye Mengga was boring and shocked.
......
......
A few minutes later, the five people sat around the center of the hall, using this place as a combat conference room, and the dining table next to it was filled with their own drinks, namely cocktails (yeah), hot chocolate (western), and lemon grapefruit tea (zero)
, Matcha latte (summer), Strawberry Milk (painted).
It's not the working time now, so of course they don't have to wear work uniforms anymore... In addition to painting Li Yi, she seems to be quite fond of this outfit. Maybe she often takes advantage of the night to act cute in front of the mirror.
"This is a map of this city." Yemengard spread a map under the desk lamp.
Just like Xiziyue thought, this is indeed a city built on a port. It faces the dark blue sea to the west, and the other three sides are blocked by white ice and snow. Looking down from the highest sky, it looks like a world.
Isolated island.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to build such a spectacular city in such a place with blocked traffic, let alone develop such a colorful civilization. However, the ocean and the king of water have the final say, and no one knows how she set it up.
Determined.
"It is not accurate to say that it is completely isolated, for example, you can go straight to the outside world by taking a boat," said Yemenggard.
“Are there any other cities here?”
"It exists in the oral descriptions of the citizens, but it should not actually exist... According to my observation at the port, a large number of ships come and go here every day, bringing spices or textiles from afar, and many citizens also have
I returned safely after a few days on a boat... But I didn't dare to get on the boat. Who knows where it will take me, and maybe it will trigger bugs in this world."
Xiziyue can understand the other party's meaning.
There is indeed such a thing as boundaries in this world. Even if there is a path that can lead to the outside world on the surface, it is just a decoration. If it is forced to pass, the better situation will be bounced back, and the worse situation will be stuck in the bug.
"Speaking of this, can that lead to the outside world?" Xiziyue pointed to the night sky outside the window.
The airship swimming in the air just swung past her fingertips, and the white steam spit out from her tail slowly covered the full moon so quiet that there was no movement.
Xiziyue has always cared about this big guy floating in the air. It is clearly so transcendent to reality, but all citizens are accustomed to it.
"That's the city hall, the central department of the city." Yemengat.
"City Hall?" Xiziyue was beyond expectations and couldn't help but turn her eyes to the airship again.
The arrogant and floating in the air is not so much a municipal office building as a luxurious palace, where the people on it are looking down at the earth in the posture of an emperor.
"It's really unearthable." Xiziyue muttered.
"Although it is not down-to-earth, it is so grand that it is very consistent with the position of the ruler. If I dominate the world, I will definitely want to place my throne in the air." said Yemengat.
"The airboat lands once a month for supplementary supplies, and the rest of the time floats, and the government orders are issued entirely by fax machines. It will not fly to other places, but only cruise over the city...
By the way, it had just completed a restocking a few days ago, and we had to wait a long time to sneak in." Yemenggard clearly stated that it was one of the current plans.
Indeed, no matter how you look at that place, it is a place with great value for investigation. It is like the dragon's nest at the center of the war3 map. Anyone would want to clear the fog of war to find out.
The only thing that made Xiziyue worried was time. How many days does a month in Leviathan's body equal to the outside world?
What will the situation develop by that time?
"These are major events in the city recently." Zero took out a note, covered with key news cut from the newspaper, and the notes she marked, which shows how much she has worked in the past few days
Attentively.
"Since this city has no concept of history, I had to collect old newspapers everywhere to obtain past information. In addition to the mayor's election, there are several incidents that are very concerning..."
"Serial Murder Cases"
The moment I saw this title, Xizi Yuetou was shining.
Even the accompanying pictures are very impactful, although they are off-white.
"Since a few months ago, there have been frequent murder cases in this city. The specific characteristics of the victims are different, sometimes male, sometimes female, there are jewelry store owners and ordinary full-time housewives. The only thing they have in common is to commit crimes.
The means are particularly cruel... There is only so much information in the newspaper, unless you get clearer and more intuitive first-hand information." Zero seems to mean something.
"What do you mean is... to sneak into the police station and steal files?" Xiziyue pondered for a moment, thinking that the detailed first-hand information should only be stored in the police station.
"It sounds exciting, I like it." Yemengat held his jaw with his brows, his brows curled in a slightly treacherous manner.
"The police station, or the Guard Hall, is the guard's nest." Zero sighed, "Unless it is confirmed that there will be a decisive gain in the attack, it is better not to go to war with them easily."
"Just just kidding, don't be so serious." Yemengga was graceful and calm, with a chuckling curve on the corner of his mouth, "Zero, I like your work attitude very much, but sometimes you can make some adjustments... Of course,
Yes, your attitude of being joking is also quite popular in a sense. The only drawback is that it overlaps with Chu Zihang's attributes, which always makes me feel a little unhappy."
When Xi Ziyue heard the name Chu Zihang popping out of Yemenggard's mouth, she felt a stir in her heart and inexplicably hoped that the other party would say more according to the name.
"Anyway, I don't object to entering the guard hall to steal first-hand information, but it's better to sneak in." Zero concluded ignoring Yemenggard's verbal teasing.
Xiziyue was still browsing this note, hoping to use her profile to piece together clues from these past events.
Pushing forward along the timeline, the last major event was that a collection in the museum was stolen, and there are no traces of burglars to this day.
The second major event was a large-scale riot on the streets of the south industrial zone in the city, with the reasons perhaps related to wages and taxes.
The third thing is gangster fire and.
The fourth thing is that under the vigorous research and development of the Urban Science and Technology Workshop, new mechanical equipment will be launched soon, which will revolutionize the operation efficiency of the factory.
The fifth thing...
The sixth thing...
Under the profile browsing, each news presents a clear three-dimensional outline flowing around the moon in Xizi, full of life and real atmosphere.
No wonder some people say that news is actually part of history. No matter how hot the news is, it will eventually become a past and turn into an old yellowed photo.
When he flipped to a certain page, Xiziyue's hand shook violently and her pupils expanded.
"Ship Dilemma"
A few months ago, in midsummer, the sea was pleasant, and the city's upper-class wealthy people organized a sea dance.
Unfortunately, this trip was attacked by pirates, and there were even rumors that the witch had appeared on the ship.
Chapter completed!
