The Sabbath

"Dear Ms. Zora Kerbatton, welcome to Star City. Your application for the elevator card floor has been approved. The target floor is the 99th floor underground. The standard stay time is one full day from now. Please start on June 351, 6 in the chaos calendar. Return to your current floor between 19:22 and 32:351 on June 6, 20 in the Chaotic Calendar, otherwise the elevator card you hold will be judged as expired or not held by you, and you will not be able to return to the original floor."

With the sound of "beep", a line of blue words appeared on the computer screen. After quickly reading the words on the screen, Xiaomei immediately pulled out the key located on the base of the computer.

"Let's go." Putting the key and the elevator card in her close pocket, Xiaomei carried the things she had prepared on her back.

While waiting for the notification, Ronggui prepared a lot of things one after another, and Xiaomei dropped a lot of them, and finally filled a small pannier.

"So sudden!" Although Ronggui said so, he still had his eyesight and hands quickly put his back on his back, and the two of them walked quickly towards the elevator. The little chicken: "You guys take good care of your house at home. If Xiao Huang is hungry, eat the ground beans next to him!"

In a short period of time, he also named the little yellow chicken.

Big yellow and little yellow sound like a really good match.

A small yellow head sneaked out from the gap in the car opened by the big yellow. The little yellow chicken watched Xiaomei lock the door of the house with a key, and the two walked towards the elevator, just after they entered the elevator Not long after, the originally brightly lit corridor suddenly became dark.

After the owner of the elevator card swipes the card to leave, all the lights are automatically turned off, which is set by the system long ago.

Fortunately, Ronggui placed a lot of flowerpots for planting ground beans on both sides of the corridor. In the darkness, small mushrooms glowed faintly green. Although the light they could provide was pitiful, it was not completely dark.

But Ronggui and Xiaomei couldn't see this scene anymore. After entering the elevator, although neither of them felt anything, the elevator should have started to go up.

The elevator is spacious enough to fit into a big yellow elevator. Now there are two small robots standing there, and it suddenly looks a little empty. Ronggui first walked to the back of the elevator car habitually, but soon, he found that the elevator was a bit big. Walking to the back, it seemed to be even more open. He moved several positions, and finally stood next to Xiaomei.

Standing in a good position, Ronggui immediately stared nervously at the elevator door.

Clutching the shoulder straps of the pannier tightly, Ronggui looked hard at the elevator door as if he was about to rush out at any moment.

Since there is no display screen, he doesn't know which floor they are passing by now, and he doesn't know how long it will take to get there. The elevator is as smooth as if it is not moving at all. I have to say that when standing in this elevator, Rong Gui felt that there was no sense of reality at all.

Time passed by every minute and every second, just when Ronggui thought that this process would continue for a while, Xiaomei suddenly said:

"arrive."

"Huh?" Ronggui suddenly turned his head to Xiaomei, with question marks all over his face.

As if knowing what was going on in his mind, Xiaomei continued: "The last time I went down from the 99th floor to the 99th floor, it took 46 minutes and 30 seconds, and it was exactly 46 minutes just now."

Xiaomei paused for a moment: "It's 46 minutes and 29 seconds now."

As if to prove what Xiaomei said, with a "ding", the elevator door opened.

The scene I saw last time appeared in front of Ronggui again. The moment he opened the door, Ronggui clearly saw that all the small vendors closest to the elevator entrance turned their gazes to his and Xiaomei's faces. It didn't last long, and soon they looked away, doing their own things.

Like two small drops of water, Ronggui and Xiaomei who were dressed in black quietly blended into the crowd.

Carrying a small back pan, Ronggui's hands were tightly clasped on the back pan, and his eyes were floating around curiously. Even though his height was only half of most people here, this did not prevent Ronggui from taking a serious look.

"Hey, short man, what are you carrying?" Just as Ronggui was squatting his head and looking towards the booth on the left, a frivolous voice suddenly came from above his head. Because it is a robot, Ronggui's sensory system Deviated, followed the voice and raised his head, Ronggui only had time to see the other party take out a bag of things from his back basket.

Ground beans!

Everything was packed in cloth bags by category, and Ronggui recognized at a glance that it was a cloth bag containing ground beans.

"Hey? We didn't come out to set up a stall, nor... Our ground beans can indeed be sold, but that bag can't be sold..." Ronggui didn't react for a while, and Ronggui explained to the other party.

The packet of ground beans came as a meeting gift, this time they planned to go to the bar they went to last time to ask the proprietress for some information, according to Ronggui's idea, it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed, and they had to bring some meeting gift, after much deliberation, Ronggui Gui packed the largest and roundest ground beans into a small bag, and put them on top for fear of being crushed.

"Stupid, you were robbed." Xiaomei whispered, pulling Ronggui aside, Ronggui didn't see how he made a move, only heard a scream, the tall man who was standing behind them before was just like that popped out.

"I modified my right hand yesterday, and I can instantly release an electric current that knocks down... two Jacks." Seeing Ronggui's look of not understanding, Xiaomei said something to him, not knowing what he was thinking Yes, he brought out Jack who was far away in Yedehan as an example.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the bag of ground beans that fell from the sky—the man accidentally let go of the bag in his hand when he fell, tied the bag, and Xiaomei stuffed the bag back into Ronggui's back bag, and dragged Ronggui to continue walking.

Being very sensitive to other people's emotional changes, Ronggui suddenly felt that people around him looked at him differently than before.

Although they were small in stature, many big men began to avoid them a little bit.

"It's so cool!" With a soft admiration, Ronggui didn't look around anymore, but followed Xiaomei to the direction of the bar.

"Can my right hand be changed to Xiaomei like yours?" Ronggui asked Xiaomei as he walked forward.

"The current self-defense stick is not suitable for you. If there is a slight mistake, you will short-circuit yourself." Xiaomei shook her head decisively, and soon, he offered another plan: "However, adding a self-defense tool under your right wrist is still useful. necessary."

"How about the spray? I've developed a good insect repellent spray in Sisiro, and it works well on humans, too."

Ronggui: ... =-=

Sounds a lot like pepper spray?

It's the kind women use...

"The alarm is also available." Seeing that Ronggui didn't say anything for a long time, thinking that he was not satisfied, Xiaomei continued to offer options.

"No need, anti-wolf spray... No, anti-insect spray is very good." Rong Gui whispered.

"Okay, just go back and do it."

Walking side by side on the street mixed with fish and dragons, Ronggui's hands were tightly held together with Xiaomei's.

However, this time it was not he who pulled Xiaomei, but Xiaomei who took the initiative to pull him.

The familiar scene seems to have happened somewhere before... Dimly, Ronggui thought to himself.

Ah... that's right, it's in Oni City.

Walking through the long dark road, the first time I really saw the city of light.

At that time, he and Xiaomei were also bullied.

But he was the one who jumped out at that time, and he beat off Xiaomei's bully in an almost tragic way.

Then, this time, it was Xiaomei who stood up for him.

Holding Xiaomei's hand back hard, the corners of Ronggui's mouth curled up slightly.

It didn’t take long for the rhubarb to drive them there last time, and it took a long time to walk them instead. It stands to reason that it’s already close to midnight here, but Ronggui was surprised to find that there are more and more shops around, feasting and feasting. Coupled with the endless crowds around, the bustling here hardly looks like a prison. Ronggui even saw a few people wearing jailer uniforms, with white down jackets hanging in their arms, and three jailers walked together with smiles. Each held a wine bottle in his hand, drunk, and they chatted.

Ronggui's ears are good, he heard them discussing which shop to drink next.

Does this work too? !

Ronggui was a little stunned.

It looks like a bar street in the past. He has never been there, but he often sees it in movies. If he is not very sure that he and Xiaomei are in prison now, based on the scene in front of him, Ronggui probably thinks that he is in a certain nightlife right now. Very rich big city!

Avoiding at least a dozen drunks along the way, Ronggui finally saw the gate of the bar that Alan took them to last time.

As soon as he entered the bar, Ronggui saw the figure of the bar manager "Jiji", still dressed like a black widow, she was sitting on a chair behind the bar, chatting with the surrounding guests in a leisurely manner , the guests invited her to drink from time to time, and she did not refuse, waving to the bartender behind her to make a drink, and when the wine was served, she drank it boldly, how many wines she drank in total, Ronggui can't count He only knew that the guests at the bar changed round after round, but Gigi only left gracefully once.

Probably went to the bathroom - Ronggui said to Xiaomei.

The other party was obviously "booming in business", although they wanted to talk to the other party, but now is obviously not a good time, not to mention that they are too short, and there is an endless stream of people who want to invite Jiji to drink. After looking around for more than two hours, Ronggui barely touched the edge of the bar.

Not knowing how to get the other party's attention, Ronggui came up with a good idea in a hurry, ran to the place closest to the bartender, stood on tiptoe, and then asked the other party to make a glass of wine for Jiji to drink.

Since he didn't know the consumption level here, Ronggui only dared to ask the other party to make the cheapest wine.

He was a little embarrassed in his heart, but this trick unexpectedly attracted Jiji's attention. Just after the bartender delivered the wine, the bartender seemed to be possessed and said something in Jiji's ear. The next second, Ronggui Seeing Jiji raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of herself and Xiaomei.

The moment he saw Ronggui and Xiaomei, the icy expression on his face suddenly wore a smile: "Who am I talking about..."

"Don't take their money, two children, even if they don't make money, they want to buy me a drink."

"Take them to my room to rest, by the way, find two sockets for them to charge."

Her hearing is very good, and Jiji didn't deliberately lower her voice, and Ronggui heard what she told the bartender clearly.

So, the bartender quickly came over, and he led the way in front, bypassing the winding path in the bar, leading them all the way to the backstage, until he led them to a...

In the cell?

Ronggui was dumbfounded.
