The elevator continued to go up, and it was not long before people came up or down.When there were strangers around, Mutel also stopped talking.She looked at those brightly dressed people who seemed to come from another world, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, she held onto Rong Yuan's hand tightly, and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at people.

When we reached the sixth floor, all the seats in the elevator were full of people.Then on the seventh floor, the elevator door opened, and two more people came up. They were wearing the uniforms of the Military Department, their face masks half covered their faces, and they were all tall and burly. Standing next to them can give people a powerful feeling pressure.

People around looked up at them, and the two stood in the middle, as if they were being scrutinized by everyone, in a slightly awkward situation.One of them looked around and saw Mutel, who was dressed plainly and shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and whispered to the other: "Please wait a moment, I will ask them to make a seat."

After speaking, he walked towards Mutel.Rong Yuan heard his whisper, and watched him approaching with indifference.In fact, if it was only him, he wouldn't mind giving up a seat to someone else.But since Mutel is by his side, Rong Yuan can't let her suffer this kind of grievance.

But before he could do anything, another person grabbed the man's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Forget it, no need, we can just stand."

The person in front persuaded with a little reluctance: "Don't worry, my lord. I won't bully others, but I will give them some compensation. It's just a seat, and they are very happy to come if they think about it. And it is very important for them to give you a seat." It's also an honor."

In fact, he himself is unwilling to stand, preferring to spend money to buy a seat.Of course, in the eyes of this person, a person who is full of poverty like that can be dismissed with three melons and two dates.

It's a pity that the adult next to him is unwilling to reveal his true face, otherwise as long as he takes off his mask, which of these people would dare to sit quietly and watch?

But the other just whispered, "Don't make me say it a second time."

The person in front didn't dare to do it again, so he could only stand by the side in a well-behaved manner, facing the crowd in the elevator with his back, twisting his shoulders uncomfortably from time to time, as if those eyes behind him had stabbed him in the eye. same body.

In fact, except for the subconscious glance of everyone when they entered the door, no one looked at them afterwards.

Rong Yuan focused on the taller of the two. He was wearing the gray-blue uniform and armor of the Military Department, a dark green belt and black boots. His figure was as burly as a bear. Hidden by a visor, all that could be seen was a square jaw and a scraggly beard, while the way he walked and stood suggested long and rigorous training.

He glanced at it and looked away.There was silence in the elevator, everyone turned on the holographic screen on the bracelet, some were racing against the clock to deal with official business, some were chatting and playing games with other people on StarNet, some were reading novels or videos and giggling from time to time, including Rong Yuan also activated the anti-peeping mode on the holographic light screen, and consulted some information recently sent to him by Alpha.

Everyone is busy with their own affairs in front of the holographic screen, and there is no desire to communicate with other strangers.Only the bearded man from the combat department didn't remove his wristband. He stood up straight with his hands hanging by his sides, not knowing what he was thinking.

Because the height of each floor of Liocastao is more than 10 meters, and in order to take care of the comfort of most people, the speed of the elevator is not fast. It takes about 13 minutes for the elevator to reach the No.[-] floor.When Rong Yuan and Mutel got off the elevator, he took another look at the bearded man by the way. At this time, there were fewer people in the elevator, and the man didn't insist on standing all the time, but he still looked like a man when he was sitting on the seat. It was as serious and straight as being stretched by a spring, and there was no sign of relaxation.

The traffic management office on the No.13th floor is just as magnificent, with the same turbulent crowds and long queues, but the order is much better than that of the third floor. Everyone looks polite and humble. On the contrary, the speed is faster than the urgent and noisy appearance on the third floor.

However, the people who take the elevator here are all the residents of Likasao. The elevator used by adventurers is in another hall. It is said that the area is two or three times as large as this one, and the service is more thoughtful and considerate. Check There are few steps and procedures, as long as you pay enough money, you can go to any floor you want, and the scene should be the same no matter which floor you want to come to.

The scene on the thirteenth floor is also far from the third floor.On the third floor, except for some pillars and brackets supporting the hull, which prove that this is inside a spaceship, most of the other places look like a small town on a planet, with a wide view, a strong atmosphere of life, and various heights. The different buildings and colorful billboards also give people a sense of confusion where they don't know where they are.

But the No.13 floor makes people feel distinctly that this is inside the spaceship.After coming out of the traffic management office, you can first see two wide escalators, one goes up and the other goes down.The descending escalator was full of people coming and going, but the ascending escalator was empty.

Rong Yuan and the others stood on the escalator according to the instructions in the notice. After a while, they reached the upper floor, and saw some thick bread-like simple vehicles parked in the open space next to them. , surrounded by colorful lights to form a circle of flower-like patterns, which looks very inconsistent with the cold and cold represented by the three characters of the Supervision Department.

Rong Yuan and the two randomly picked a passing car, and after swiping the wristband, the car body emitted a pleasant start-up music, the door opened, and a gentle female voice said: "Verify your identity, Muzhe. Verify your identity, Mutel. Welcome The two came to the Ministry of Supervision, I wish you a pleasant trip."

The two got into the vehicle, input the destination from Rong Yuan, and the passing vehicle drove all the way to the headquarters of the Ministry of Supervision.When passing through the elevator, Rong Yuan found that the higher the floor, the higher the height of the ship's floors, and the height of the No.13 floor is about 200 meters.But the height of the passage they were driving at this time was less than 20 meters, but because the ceiling and the distant walls simulated the scene of the sky and the sea, it did not appear depressing, but made people feel spacious and vast.

The passing vehicles are going through the air passage, which is about seven or eight meters above the ground.Looking down from a high position, you can find a garden-like building not far away.Villas with no more than three floors are scattered in an orderly manner, with different shapes and bright and warm colors. The surroundings and balconies of the villas are full of flowers. Some of the yards are planted with various flowers and plants, and some have built swimming pools. Or a small children's playground, and some are built in the shape of a training ground. Looking down from the sky, I just feel that each is interesting.

Further away, you can see a bustling commercial street, a large square, and tall and conspicuous hospitals, cinemas, schools, vegetable markets and the like.Some people are active in every place. Although they do different things, their demeanor is serene and peaceful, even giving people a lazy feeling.

Mutel leaned against the window of the passing car, staring intently at the scenery below.She couldn't help but said to Rong Yuan: "This place is different from what I thought, it's so different."

Rong Yuan asked: "Then what do you think?"

"I thought..." Mutel paused, and said embarrassedly: "I thought the headquarters of the Ministry of Supervision should be a dark, closed, and particularly depressing place like a prison. I will be locked in a small square by them. In the house, you are not allowed to go out casually or surf the Internet, the lights are dim, there are bloodstains on the walls, and sometimes you can hear screams..."

Rong Yuan couldn't help laughing, and was patted by Mutel, she said angrily: "Hey, I knew you were going to laugh at me. Don't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh." Although Mutel didn't hurt at all, Rong Yuan begged for mercy.

In fact, Rong Yuan was a little moved in his heart.Because even though Mutel imagined the life in this place as horrible, for him, she still followed without saying a word, not even letting him see the fear and fear hidden deep in her heart. helpless.

Smiling and laughing, the smile on his face faded, and turned into a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

The passing car finally stopped in front of a two-story villa. Due to lack of maintenance, the garden in the yard was full of wild flowers and weeds, and some vines even climbed onto the walkway.However, the inside of the villa is very clean, because the newly purchased home robot has started to work diligently, and it has already sorted most of the luggage checked in from below.

At the same time, the furniture in the villa is well-equipped, which fully meets the conditions for moving in with bags.Moreover, all the tools are brand new, and even specially customized according to the interests and habits of Mutel and "Mu Zhe" in the big information database.

Of course, it doesn’t take a lot of thought. In fact, it may be as simple as clicking [OK] on the holographic screen. Most of the furniture and even this house can be completed by 3D printing.But such a house still makes people feel that the Ministry of Supervision attaches great importance to and cares for its subordinates.

Until entering the villa and sitting on the sofa in the living room, Mutel still had an incredulous expression on his face, confirming with Rong Yuan over and over again: "We will live here from now on? This is really our home Is it? Will it not change?"

Rong Yuan answered her time and time again: "Yes, we will live here from now on. Don't worry, we won't be taken back."

So Mutel walked around the house with confidence, opened every door to go in, opened every window and took a deep breath of fresh air from the thirteenth floor, and carefully understood every piece of furniture. especially admired the variety of fully functional cookware and appliances in the kitchen.

Her expression of surprise as if immersed in a dream made Rong Yuan feel that if he was the real Mu Zhe, he would work hard to stand at the top just to see the smile on her face at this moment.
