Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

The newly promoted deputy chief of the affairs department immediately lost interest in embarrassing the other party, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll let you off this time, and remember to pay taxes in time... By the way, who is behind you, Hide your head and show your tail.”

For Li Ming, the last sentence was just a casual question, he had no interest in caring whether the red-faced man was helping people smuggle people out or covering up some wanted criminal.

But for the red-faced people, this problem is very difficult, because according to the rules of the Tianhuang District, when these bureaucrats representing the company make similar requests, the only correct response is to show the suspected target. , to prove innocence.

To put it simply, it is to take off the hood, reveal the face, and then do a simple authentication in the database through the holographic tablet in Liming's hand.

Of course, Li Ming might not have the patience to do the certification, and he might ignore the red-faced person after one glance at the face under the hood. But the face under the hood cannot be shown to anyone.

This place is no longer a stage perfectly set up by red-faced people. There are not so many nurseries around, and it is impossible to create an atmosphere of repeating others' opinions. So once Sean's appearance is exposed, the setting of the female tenant in her 20s immediately It's about to collapse.

But if the red-faced man remains indifferent at this time, it will obviously arouse Li Ming's anger again and make him trouble again.

Sean's heart moved, and he was about to go forward to use the mind touch technique to tide over the difficulties, but before he had time to act, he saw the hands of the Kratouin man clenched into fists behind him, signaling that he must not act rashly.

The next moment, there was a violent explosion in the distance, and Sean turned his head in surprise to look in the direction of the explosion, which was clearly the location of Black and White Street.

However, the red-faced man didn't give Xiao En any more time to react. He seized the opportunity, and when Li Ming and Shi Liu collapsed to the ground in fright, he quickly stepped forward and passed them, and left a word in a low voice. .

"This female human is my tenant, and I'm going to take her for refuge."

"Ah, ah, good!" Li Ming nodded subconsciously, completely unaware of what he heard.

——

The red-faced man took Sean a long way, and finally slowed down.

The explosions in the black and white streets gradually dissipated—after all, they were just explosions in chaotic slums, not enough to attract too many people's attention.

And before Sean could speak, the red-faced man said: "That's the cooperation that Hu Bo and the others have done long ago. Once an accident that is difficult to handle properly occurs, they will use explosions to attract attention and win opportunities for us. Obviously they are very aware of these two things. How much trouble would it be for an officer just in our path."

Sean nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He was really concerned about whether there would be casualties on Black and White Street, but since everything was planned, what he had to do was to cherish this opportunity and go to [Rainbow Street] with the help of the red-faced man. Hong Kong】Merge with Li Yu.

However, after following the red-faced man so far, Xiao En's doubts became deeper and deeper.

Where is the red-faced man going?

The front is not in the direction of Tianxuan District at all! On the contrary, it is the bottom of Tianhuang District 5, a garbage dump that has not been described too much in any data, and it is also the point farthest from [Rainbow Harbor] in Tianhuang District 5.

From the perspective of the process, the smuggling operation of the red-faced man was flawless and concealed from everyone's eyes, but in terms of the result, he brought Sean to a dead end.

But Sean never expressed his doubts, and just followed the red-faced man silently.

The two walked all the way to a gloomy, cold and quiet square, which was said to be a square, but in fact it looked crowded and cramped, especially at the end where it was cut off by a huge rusty metal wall, as if it was an execution ground for beheading by a sharp weapon.

The cold wind and rotten smell hit the face, but concealed in this stench, there are still a lot of living people's breath.

"This is the lowest slum in District Five." The red-faced man suddenly explained to Sean, "In most official materials, this is no-man's land, but there are actually many people living here. Although people in the slums see Come on, they are as good as dead."

There are many metal sheds erected in a crooked manner on the square, which is different from the simple but at least complete structure of Heihei Street. The metal sheds here are like homeless people carelessly covering their bodies with rags. Living in the metal shed is a group of creatures that are almost inhuman.

Not even the poorest and most miserable people in the slums were so squalid and hopeless as they were.

"These people used to live in heaven."

The red-faced man stretched out his hand, and Xiao En's eyes moved up accordingly, and he saw the glorious light in a trance.

The next moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that the light came from [Bao Zhou].

The energy core from [Li] passed through the Tianxuan District, casting a little afterglow on the garbage dump at the bottom. It seems that the nobles who are high above sprinkle the food crumbs in their hands to the beggars.

The red-faced man showed no mercy at all, pointed at the residents in the square, and said, "But now they can only crawl in the mud, because they don't want to live on the ground, they don't want to accept everything around them, they would rather Use the remaining life to pray that you will reach the sky in one step."

Sean nodded, feeling deeply in his heart.

The heavenly people mentioned by the red-faced man obviously refer to the aborigines in Tianxuan District, such as Dr. Wang Yi. For various reasons, they lost their identity and privileges and fell to the bottom of the city.

But unlike Wang Yi, who was enjoying himself in Tianxuan Ninth District, some people completely refused to accept the reality, unwilling to start a new life in the slums, but begged day and night for Tianxuan District to reopen the door to them.

This dead square is probably their place of prayer.

The red-faced man said: "The reason why they gathered here is because according to the legend, there is a passage that can directly lead to the Profound Sky Area."

Sean blinked, disapproving of the legend.

Indeed, geographically speaking, this square is not far from Tianxuan District. Although the light from the top of the head seems to be another world, but in fact, according to the three-dimensional map of [Li], behind that wall is indeed the territory of Tianxuan District, which is just the storage area of ​​the seventh district, not the living area. .

This space city is not a flat structure, and the Tianxuan District is not only a living area on the ground.

However, just by looking at the ruthless thick wall, one can clearly feel the insurmountable gap between Tianhuang District and Tianxuan District.

"High-voltage electricity, surveillance probes, automatic turrets..." the red-faced man said, "The people behind the wall know exactly what kind of people are gathering here, so they will do everything possible to keep them out of the wall."

Xiao En added in his mind: But more importantly, those invisible obstacles, people who have been stripped of their identities, even if they return to the Tianxuan District, are just unwelcome foreign objects. Compared with a person's character and ability, identity is often more important.

So even if there is a secret passage that allows people to go directly to the Tianxuan District, so what? Is it possible that there is a rule in [Li] that people who walk through that road can be pardoned of all crimes and restore their identity?

In the final analysis, it is just a group of people who are unwilling to admit the reality and pin their hopes on intangible things like religion.

At the same time, the red-faced man said: "However, as long as you can cross this wall, you can easily reach [Rainbow Port]. There is a fast track for cargo transportation from the underground storage area to Rainbow Port. There will be rail express trains at every standard hour." , which is currently under the control of silver."

"And it's my job to help you get over this wall."

Xiao En's mind was lifted: Could it be that the red-faced man really has a way to climb over this wall and help him directly reach Tianxuan District?

This smuggling route was really unexpected... But at this moment, Sean couldn't help but frown.

"I have a bad feeling."

The red-faced man said: "I don't need your premonition, I just need your cooperation, come with me now."

Sean opened his mouth, but he didn't argue with the other party after all, but silently clenched the lightsaber around his waist, ready to meet any unexpected arrival.

However, at this time, an accident came.

——

The red-faced man opened the way first, walking straight in the middle of the square, his steps were extremely heavy, as if announcing his arrival. The people living in the shed were like small animals frightened by giant beasts, and retreated one after another.

All the way to the bottom of the high wall, the red-faced talent stopped. He reached out and stroked the rust on the wall carefully, as if looking for some mechanism.

However, he soon changed his expression and turned around abruptly.

Behind him, in the shadow of the mud, a tall Nikto stood up slowly.

"Are you looking for this thing, Klatuin?" The leader of the second group of dragon hunters let out a hoarse laugh. He was holding a square metal block in his hand, and the color was just as thick as gray. The walls match.

"It's so interesting, watching you act carefully all the way, treating everyone as a rusty metal head... But I knew from the beginning, it must be you! Only you, a Hutt dog, have I can help that wanted criminal get away! So no matter how serious you are, we will be the ones waiting for you in the end."

At the same time, behind San Guan, dragon hunter fighters stood up one after another, fully armed and murderous.

But after all, there was no immediate action.

"When I came here, the leader seriously told me that even a Jedi apprentice can be killed, but you, even if you want to kill, you must kill it with dignity and confidence. Because your master once did us a big favor, this is also necessary favor."

The Nikto man said, and spat: "I hate this kind of human relationship and interests. So I'll let you understand. According to the law of [Li], whoever shelters a wanted criminal will be killed without mercy, even if it is you. There is no exception when the master comes, so..."

"So where is the wanted criminal you mentioned?" The red-faced man responded calmly. Even though he was surrounded by people from behind and pointed at his vitals with a blaster gun, he still didn't have the slightest fear.

Nikto didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, he stepped forward in two steps, pushed the red-faced man away, and then stretched out his hand to lift the hood of the cloaked man.

The face of a young woman in her 20s was revealed.
