The Sabbath

时值混沌历355年1月27日，天空城一年一度规模最大的购物节“126（1月26日）”之后的第一天，所谓“126购物节”取得是谐音，天空城通用语里“126”这个数字连起来读和“买东西”同音，精明的商家遂将这个节日打造成了天空城的购物狂欢节！

After the "126" every year, the courier outlets all over the sky city will burst their warehouses, and there is no room for them in the warehouse. Usually, the delivery car is full of courier boxes. There are everything you buy, and it is so small that you can only hold one. A small box for a ring, an oxygen cage big enough to hold a beast... It can be said that there is no package that can surprise the couriers.

Even in this era, couriers are still an industry that has not been cancelled. It can be said that this is a very magical era. Obviously, technology has been highly developed. In the past, almost all things that people imagined have been invented, such as virtual games, such as Star-making, such as space gates... Science and technology are highly developed, and mechanical products are naturally highly developed. When necessary, people can use various exquisite mechanical substitutes to replace unusable body parts and parts. These mechanical substitutes are lifelike and fully functional. , it is almost possible to distinguish the real one from the real one, it stands to reason that this is already a society with highly developed machinery, but——

The use of robots in this era is very unpopular.

People can replace their own bodies with mechanical bodies, but they do not support the replacement of manpower by machines, and even highly restrict the development of intelligent machines.

Of course there is a reason for this: after all, in a certain period of history in the tower, the mechanical life was once highly prosperous, and it was too prosperous, which posed a great threat to the human beings in the tower. was strictly restricted.

Therefore, in this era, many types of work have not been cancelled, on the contrary, many have become more prosperous.

170 Eight-year-old John is a courier.

As a "middle-aged person" who has met the retirement age (← he firmly does not consider himself an elderly person), he can already receive a city pension to live by, without having to work, and receiving money including money on time every month All kinds of benefits, as well as various entertainment activities arranged by Star City for free at any time, his retirement life should have been more nourishing than when he was at work.

But he just doesn't want to retire.

His muscular body has been trained by carrying packages all the year round. He has been secretly photographed by reporters since he was young~ Even now that he is old, his eyesight is not good, but his muscles are still well maintained, and he can still report something from time to time. Yes, he likes his current physical labor very much, and he intends to keep doing it as long as his body allows.

Today is no exception.

The "126" period is the busiest time every year. As an experienced courier, Old John has already made preparations. The warehouse for express delivery at home is already full, and some functions that cannot be accommodated are piled outside.

He planned to send out the express delivery first.

When he came back after locking the door, he didn't realize that there were more couriers outside. He put the large and small packages into the compartment one by one according to the shape. He packed them all into the car!Neat!

This is the knowledge of couriers~

After closing the carriage door, Old John hummed and started the car.

He had already checked the batch of couriers outside, and they were all destined for the same Star City. What he needed to do next was to send these couriers to the port.

Humming and playing music all the way, the old John, who didn't know anything, drove to the port with the key evidence that several groups of people were eagerly looking for.

Old John carried the evidence to the back of a space jumper.

The front was extremely lively at this time, passengers were landing one after another with their luggage, and at the inconspicuous place on the back, the space jumper also opened a small door, and Old John drove the car around the path familiarly. , just stopped in front of this small door.

"Old John!" came a loud voice from inside the door.

The sound sounded very close, but no one could be seen inside the door!The door was empty, and the sound seemed to appear out of thin air!

Most people are a little timid when they see this scene, and they are probably startled. However, Old John jumped out of the car in a calm manner, opened the compartment door, and greeted the people inside the door with the same loud voice. .

"Hey, old Blue!"

As he said, he moved the outermost express box to the door, and as his position moved, the owner with a loud voice appeared inside the door:

There are two transparent wings on the back, and there are golden veins like leaves on them. She is small and wears delicate clothes. She looks like an elf in a fairy tale...

It's a Crewe!

However, unlike the young Crewes that Ronggui had seen, this Crewe looked a little old. Although his figure was in good shape, and he even had muscles, his face also had wrinkles.

"How much is the goods this time? We have tried our best to make room, but the space is still limited. I don't know if we can fit it..." The Crewe, who is called "Old Blue", has tried his best to help Old John pulled the package, but he also knew that his strength... was basically no different from nothing.

These parcels were finally moved in by Old John.

When Old John moved his things in, more Crewes appeared inside, men and women, all dressed exquisitely. Except for Old Blue before, the rest of the Crewes were quite young, but it seemed that they were right Old John was no stranger to him either. When he saw Old John coming in, these young Crewes greeted him with smiles.

"Hello, Nini! Tommy, you seem to be getting taller! Jenna..." Old John is no stranger to these Crewes, so it's hard for him to be able to call out their names when there are so many Crewes!

While chatting with the young man, Old John was carrying the courier. Just like in the carriage, he also placed the packages neatly here.

However, as Old Blue said, the space here is really limited. As the packages are put in one by one, the original space is blocked layer by layer. Crewe is small and can pass freely, but Old John He stepped back step by step, and when the last express box was placed, he could only stand at the door and talk to the Crewe people.

"Pay by volume. The volume of the courier this time is... I should pay you 1508 quabicks." Old John calculated the bill skillfully.

"Don't make odds, just 1500!" Old Bru waved his hand and wiped the zero for Old John.

"Okay!" Old John didn't hesitate, took out his residence card and "docked" with Old Blue's ID, and he immediately transferred the money to Old John's card.

"This jumper is about to open, and we're closing the door!" Putting the card away, Old Blue waved at Old John, and the small door slowly closed, and the faces of the Crewes disappeared in front of Old John.

Quickly manage the compartment door, Old John quickly drove the car away from the space jumper. Not long after, the space jumper took off. Looking back, there are still about one-third of the express boxes. Old John is not in a hurry , and continued humming, he drove towards the back door of another space jumper... by the pier.

What happened just now is actually another small business of these Crewe people on the space jumper besides selling food: they will use their living space to help couriers deliver things!

But how big can they live?The things that can be transported are also very limited, not to mention that for them, the space jumper is their home, they can be careful about the things they transport, and they even bought advanced detectors, and only dare to put in the things that have been tested without any problems!In addition, they secretly pay taxes~

Doing illegal things so well, this... this...

The managers of the space jumper simply continued to turn a blind eye.

In short, the price of the goods transported by the Crewes on the space jumper is only one-fifth of the official channel. First, it is cheap, and second, it is to allow the Crewes to have a source of income. Many couriers will either Surreptitiously or openly take care of the business of the Crewe people. If the Crewe people can't eat it, they will ship it through official channels.

Old John immediately took the rest of the cargo to other space jumpers to find other Crewes.

It's such a coincidence!The "stolen goods" that were abandoned by the robbers before his car were all put into the previous space jumper by him!

So, before the emergency notice arrived, Ronggui's body and other evidence left in the Crewe courier of the space jumper.

-

In the dim mechanical tunnel, there are metal colors everywhere, and winding lines everywhere. Obviously, here is the interior of a large machine.

It stands to reason that this place should be cold, and it is not surprising that it is full of dust. After all, people only need the machine to run smoothly. If the dust does not affect its operation, no one will deliberately clean its interior.

However, it is clean here.

Every centimeter has been carefully wiped, and there are bright reflections everywhere.

It doesn't matter if the metal walls can't be converted into warmer wood products, they just spread hand-woven carpets with good heat dissipation in places that don't affect them.

It’s okay if the line can’t be diverted, so they used colored silk thread to wind the line around and around, winding out various warm colors.

With all kinds of exquisite hand-made small furniture, it looks a bit like an "American industrial style" family house.

There is nothing wrong with this being a residence.

On the floor covered with colorful cushions, on the hand-polished small bed, on the chairs, and even on the winding lines covered with colored silk threads on the walls, one or two elves stay in these places at intervals.

Oh~ no, it's Crewe people.

This is where they usually live, that is, according to legend, their home on the space jumper.

The corner where normal people can't get in is a good place for them to settle down.

Although the lights here are always at this level of brightness, it is actually getting late now. I have already done a round of business in the cabin. Most of the guests in the cabin have already fallen asleep, and there is no business to do. At that time, the Crewe people called for gold to withdraw their troops and came back to rest.

Most of the Crewe people who just came back have already begun to take off their uniforms. Although the clothes they usually wear when selling things are beautiful, the materials are rare. They only have one set each. Except for "work", most of the time they wear different styles Ordinary, but no less refined and beautiful loungewear.

Only one Crewe who had just returned did not go back to rest.

Putting down the big teapot in her hand, she carried a small lantern instead, and flew straight ahead.

That's right, "she".

This sleepless Krewe is a girl.

Brown, curly beautiful long hair, a small heart-shaped face, wearing a big tutu skirt, and a small apron with beautiful lace lace over the skirt, she kept wearing work clothes, she leaned back fly away.

That's where the Kru put their packages.

As the "big sister" of the young Crewe, she's used to doing more than her younger siblings.

For example, take the initiative to sell business, for example, when everyone else is asleep, go to the cargo hold to patrol.

During the day, she and another group of young Crewes were in charge of selling things in the cabin, and did not come to participate in the loading. As a result, she felt a little uneasy, so she simply came over to take stock before going to bed.

Then, after counting, she really discovered something that other Crewes hadn't discovered:

In today's express delivery, there are a total of [-] packages without addresses!

She counted them very carefully, trying to read all the sides of the package, but there was no information. On the contrary, there were some numbers on it that she couldn't understand the meaning of.

The careful female Kru frowned her thin eyebrows.

Was it old John's mistake?These couriers were originally shipped with other addressed packages?Accidentally separated?

still is……

Sitting on top of the largest of these packages, she sat for a bit long, and when she suddenly looked down, the female Kru fell off the package in fright!

just!Right where she sat!Below her ass!

Suddenly, half a human face appeared! ! !
