Mysterious Catastrophe - Chapter 442
[Chapter 441 The Return (3000 Plus)]
After half a month.
The capital of the Invis Empire – Pulmouth!
Compared with the history where Aaron is located, the area of this city has expanded outward again, and there are several satellite cities.
Other than that, the layout wasn’t much different from what Aaron knew—except for two less zones.
The two missing districts, one is the abandoned city and the other is the hidden Black Queen.
After all, the Invis Empire has enough strength to eliminate the pollution of the abandoned city, the Suppression Bureau and the Suppression Bureau, and even the Inquisition of the Sun God Cult, and will not allow the existence of the so-called ‘Black Queen’, and Pulmouth is undoubtedly the top of the empire. The most concentrated place…
The Beyonders hiding here can be said to be quite tragic.
It was at eight o’clock in the morning, and the mist in the morning still hadn’t dissipated, thick clouds accumulated in the sky, and occasionally the thin sunlight shone down.
Hilling Quay.
A steam-type passenger mechanical ship was docked at the dock, and rows of guests came down from the bridge.
As the capital of the empire, the mainland and even the world’s largest city, the capital effect is extremely strong, attracting people from all over the world every day.
A tall middle-aged man wearing a brown trench coat, hat, and a black suitcase came to the security check area.
“Identify card!”
The security inspector in black uniform spoke expressionlessly, as numb as a machine.
His face was full of tiredness and dark circles due to the heavy work and lack of rest, but he tried to maintain his spirits.
Because this job is not easy to come by, and because there are people from the suppression bureau not far away!
The middle-aged guest obediently handed out the ID card and was stuffed into a machine connected to the ground by the security inspector.
As the gears turn, feedback comes quickly.
[Para Love Toman, 39 years old, from Manov City, ID code: XXXXXXX]
[Appearance characteristics: tall, blue eyes, blonde hair]
[Occupation: Building Materials Merchant]
…
The security inspector glanced at the other party, stopped for a while on the tall figure, blue eyes, and thick golden beard, and pressed the seal forcefully: “Passed the security inspection!”
“thanks!”
Aaron took over the ID card with a blue seal, and stroked the uneven texture with his fingertips, knowing that it represented a temporary identity, and he could stay in the imperial capital for a month, and he would be punished if he didn’t leave.
He put away his ID card, carried his suitcase, and walked into the dock area.
Looking at the mighty flow of people and the Dossom River where all kinds of sewage and garbage are floating, I was a little lost.
It has been half a month since the last showdown with the ‘Keeper’.
And his research on the anomaly in Koni failed shamefully…
After all, it is an authority of a senior, and it is not so easy to study it.
After confirming that no progress could be made, Aaron threw Corny back to Dalise, who had finally returned by steam train, and came to Pulmouth alone.
As for this identity? Naturally, some villain of Aaron’s random choice.
Yes, Imperial ID cards are difficult to counterfeit, but they can be replaced!
On the way he came, he saw that this middle-aged man named Pala was a businessman on the surface, but he practiced invisible magic in secret, and when he was about to sacrifice a pair of twins, he killed the other party directly and obtained the identity of the other party. .
Although according to Doris’ disclosure, the ‘Miss Cat’ is very grateful to him and is willing to provide some help within her power, such as forging a true and reliable identity certificate, but Aaron is still grateful.
He never liked to entrust his safety to others.
The ID card provided by the cat lady may be more convenient, but it is especially dangerous if the Persian cat is caught.
Also, what if the other party wants to betray the ‘Feather Snake’?
So, you still have to trouble yourself a bit.
As long as the destruction of the corpse is thorough enough, then there is a possibility of exposure only if the clues are exposed on one’s own side.
After walking out of the dock area, looking at the tall buildings on both sides that could be called skyscrapers, Aaron raised his eyebrows: “Sure enough, it is much more developed than the other Pulmouth… It’s just that it feels more depressing than the other Pulmouth. ?”
Both sides of the street are fairly clean, and there are not even beggars and homeless people.
According to the Act of the Empire, not even travelers whose residence permit has expired can stay in Pulmouth, let alone those homeless people, if they show up, they will be immediately arrested and never come back…
As far as Aaron can see, most of those people who are in a hurry are yellow and skinny, and they don’t seem to be nutritious, and they are probably often hungry.
He was walking down a street when he heard a commotion.
Shops on both sides closed their doors one after another, closing their windows tightly, and passersby fled nervously to both sides.
“what happened?”
He grabbed a clerk who wanted to escape and asked curiously.
“Ahead…there’s a bakery commotion ahead…” the young clerk shouted nervously, “riots and marches…the procession is coming!”
It didn’t take long for messy and heavy footsteps to sound.
Aaron saw a crowd of people in darkness, and a large number of marchers came over.
Most of them were in rags, some without pants, men and women, and they looked like pier coolies or nearby workers.
While roaring, they raised their right hands, shouting slogans such as bread and milk, and walked along the main road like a black angry dragon.
And at the next traffic intersection, there was already a team of patrolmen blocking it. They were familiar with building a fort made of sandbags, and even set up machine guns…
“One last time, a serious warning, immediately stop your actions against the Empire!”
A police officer shouted with a tin horn, but the frenzied crowd had already wrapped the front gang and rushed to the intersection.
“shot!”
Boom!
Da da!
After a burst of gunfire, the parade team threw dead bodies on the ground and ran around like birds and beasts.
Patrol officers in black scolded and arrested people everywhere.
“Let’s go, or we won’t be able to tell if we’re caught.”
The clerk screamed and ran away.
Aaron stepped forward and followed behind him. The two hid in an alley. Listening to the quiet voice nearby, the clerk couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Are you from out of town?”
“Yes, my name is Parra, a small businessman…” Aaron seemed to be considering his words: “I didn’t expect to see such a crazy scene when I first arrived in Pulmouth… Are those unemployed workers?”
“Yes, they are not homeless, but they can’t live anymore… My name is Louis!”
Louis reached out and shook hands with Aaron.
“Why?” Aaron asked himself.
“The factories now pay daily wages, because the workers need today’s wages to buy dinner… However, the price of the bakery has increased recently. Unemployed workers can’t afford bread, and they don’t want to starve to death, so they can only rob the bakery. , and then developed into a commotion…”
Louis sighed.
“No, I’m just curious…why is the parade still going?” Aaron corrected blankly.
