Deep in the Living

Chapter 216 Earth and Moon

Luo Di stood at the intersection downstairs of the Municipal Investigation Bureau, quietly waiting for the traffic light to change.

But when the green pedestrian light came on across the street and everyone began to cross the street in an orderly manner, he stood still and let people beside him keep walking by.

He had a very strange feeling.

Obviously, there is a very clear goal at present.
I also got a new hobby.

But looking at the people coming and going, he always felt that something was missing, and he felt that he had returned to a familiar state, a state of being alone.

When the second green light came on, Rody walked across the street towards the youth apartment.

The suitcase was already packed, he just needed to go back and get his things before he could set off.

Considering that Yu Ze had a week's vacation, Luo Di did not intend to disturb him. After all, he had helped enough, and it was enough for him to go to the capital alone. If there was anything he did not understand, he could ask the Mercury Group.

Ding!
The elevator stopped at the eleventh floor.

When Rody was about to return to his bachelor apartment for the last time, he saw two people standing at the door.

Yu Ze, who is wearing round sunglasses and has a bun on his hair, and Miss Yun, who looks younger than Luo Di. The other one is currently cosplaying as a pink-haired nun with a cross on her chest.

Yu Ze had already looked towards the elevator and waved his arms high, "Fellow countryman, would you like to go together?"

"You can figure out anything, right?"

“You can only see the effect if there is a cause.”

"What about your vacation?"

Yu Ze spread his hands and said, "Because of the island incident, all sea-going projects have been suspended. There is nothing fun here. Why not go back to the capital and hang out in the library, or take a look at Luo Di's assessment, which should be very interesting."

"Row."

……

The pink sports car was speeding on the highway. After all, it was already night time, and even if it reached a speed of 200 km per hour, it would take until the early morning to reach the capital.

Yun is still watching her favorite anime show.
Two boys were chatting in the back row.

"My fellow, how do you feel after taking the pituitary? Or how does it feel to officially get the corner system?"

"It's OK. So far, it seems the only impact is that it has turned my schedule upside down."

Yu Ze's eyes lit up, "That's great~ This kind of change in routine is very normal. After all, the corner system is another way of saying it, the [fear system], and many things related to fear happen at night.

I guess you probably chose the killer type, which is related to murderers. This type of person likes to be active at night.

However, there are not many night owls in our department. If you come in, you can just fill the gap of the night shift. In the future, if there is an emergency in the early morning, you don't have to call me anymore.

Fellow villager, you must pass the test quickly!"

"My pituitary gland is still in its early stages. Can I start work right away?"

"Just join as a trainee investigator like us.

Ultimately, it all depends on the specific assessment results, and your department will be assigned to you based on the assessment results. Of course, your subjective wishes will still account for a certain proportion of the allocation.

So when the time comes, try to choose our department."

Luo Di continued to ask: "Is there any difference in the work of the capital investigators?"

"You'll know when the time comes. For now, the priority is to pass the assessment. After all, you are the focus of attention. If you report before the end of tonight, the assessment should be arranged tomorrow.

Maybe it can be arranged tonight.

I'm not worried about your ability.

The only thing to worry about is your character.

Although you were the main contributor to the island incident, I also reported the "problems" you showed, including using "me" to get out of trouble.

The requirements for [character] are very high, because anyone who is qualified to go to the Capital Investigation Bureau may end up in a corner in the future.

If even the most basic character is problematic, then one will inevitably be completely lost in the whispers in the corner and become the public enemy of humanity.

We are not stupid enough to cultivate our own enemies, right?

Of course, fellow countryman, there will be no problem for you. "

"Thank you."

"I'm going to sleep for a while~ You can watch anime with Yun."

Yu Ze put a calming talisman on his forehead and fell asleep.
Luo Di did not ask any more questions. Although there were still many questions whose answers could be obtained directly from Yu Ze, it might be more interesting to explore these answers by himself.

Night came,

Luo Di was not sleepy at all and started watching the so-called anime with Yun.

He had never seen anime before, but he soon became addicted to it. He didn't expect that the plot of this animation was actually quite good, and he watched ten episodes without realizing it.

In front of the car window,

At the end of the highway, a city was reflected, a special city without any light and illuminated only by moonlight.

You should know that the Corner Law has very strict urban construction regulations.

Any city in Lianzhong must have sufficient lighting systems and be equipped with two completely different power supply modes. Even if the electricity is cut off, there is still biological energy to support the light.

Lighting is the best way to avoid the formation of physical corners, and all cities must be under standard lighting 24 hours a day.

But there was no light seeping out from the city in front of me.
If it were a normal city, even the light on the wall would be enough to radiate within a five-kilometer radius, illuminating the countryside and forests.

Just as Luo Di was about to ask, Yun, who had been watching anime, directly removed Yu Ze's talisman paper.

"Brother, do you want to take a detour?"

Yu Ze stretched his body, stood up and looked towards the Lightless City in front of him, "We're already on the moon, and I haven't gotten enough sleep yet~ Oh my, let's go back and continue sleeping.

Detour ~ Crossing the moon may waste more time than taking a detour, and may even get you into trouble. "

"The Moon refers to the Moon City?"

Luo Di had learned relevant geography knowledge in high school cultural courses. Moon City is different from other cities. It is a satellite city exclusively belonging to the capital Earth City.

But that’s all I know.

Yu Ze could see Luo Di's doubts at a glance and gave him the answer he wanted directly:
"Moon City is the only satellite city in the country. It is an expansion of the capital. The two cities are 30 kilometers apart and connected by a special railway.

Moon City is set as an [Experimental City].

The corner method does not strictly apply above.

[Day and night alternation] is the most obvious manifestation. At night, the Moon City will only retain some basic street lights, and the lighting equipment in most buildings and the lights on the city walls will be turned off.

These lights will only be turned on fully if there is a really large-scale corner effect inside.

In addition, if you go to the moon, you will see more different places, which are very interesting ~ but also very dangerous. The control of pseudo-people in the moon city is also relatively relaxed. It is better for you to understand the specific reasons later. "

"Ah."

Vehicles sped along the ring highway. The scale of Moon City was almost the same as that of Pluto City and Jupiter City, and it could be considered an independent city.

It was just the obvious alternation of day and night, as well as the city management that was independent of the law, that interested Rody.

"Will I be carrying out a killing...mission in Moon City later?"

"If Rody wants to complete his pituitary gland as soon as possible, Moon City is indeed a good choice. It all depends on the attitude and arrangements of the higher-ups.

You can’t just go to Moon City whenever you want.”

"Row."

Almost at the moment the vehicle passed Moon City, a warm and strong light spread.

The originally ordinary highway has turned into a self-luminous highway here, like a star belt.

At the same time, a sound came from the car speakers, receiving the mandatory audio from the capital.

【Welcome to Earth orbit, license plate "A-██████" has been confirmed. Because it is detected that there is one more person in the vehicle than when leaving the city, please go to the checkpoint along Track 2 to register the temporary personnel identity. 】

Rody's gaze also looked forward along the road called the Earth's orbit.

The outline of a city of unimaginable size appeared not far away.

Hundred-meter-high buildings are common in this city. One can even see five thousand-meter-high buildings rising into the clouds. One of the buildings seems to have a familiar logo on the top. Upon closer inspection, it should be the Mercury Group.

A large number of aircraft float between cities.

From the smallest drones to large technological airships.

Some giant airships seem to be completely commercialized, with various commercial advertisements or company profiles projected on their surfaces.

Before entering the city, Rody was shocked by the scale and level of development of the capital.

Then, he looked towards the top of the city, towards the top of the thousand-meter-high buildings, and towards the depths of the clouds.

There seemed to be some giant object floating above, a ring-shaped giant object similar to a UFO.

"what is that?"

"My fellow countryman, you have a pretty good eye. That's where you'll be interviewed later.

The center of the country,
[EIA World Bureau]. ”
