Leaving Xing Luo in the hotel to protect Xiao Xitong, Tianyang, Yueguang and Longdan left the hotel. The three of them rode on the magnetic energy vehicle of the White Moonlight Hunting Group and drove on the streets of the East District.
"The person we are looking for is called A Kai. This guy is a freak. He has obtained residency rights, but he still stays in the East District."
Longdan sat in the car and explained the situation to Tianyang.
"He was originally a family man, but he often went to the opposite world for adventures. His wife couldn't stand such a life, so she left with their daughter. The mother and daughter took Akai's residence rights and now live in the North District."
"In fact, with Akai's adventures over the years, as long as he doesn't spend money recklessly, his savings are enough for him and his wife and daughter to live a stable life. Moreover, he is very experienced, and from time to time, the official exploration team of Deep Sea Castle will invite him to join and lead these exploration teams to some uninhabited areas as a guide."
"But the old guy just doesn't want to retire like this. He often goes into the Reverse Realm to take risks. He always says that he should die in the belly of a sea monster in the Reverse Realm instead of in bed."
Tian Yang confirmed again: "Has he been to the Dark Sea?"
Longdan nodded vigorously: "Yes, he has been there. He hunted dark jellyfish there. That's why we are going to find him."
"Although I also know how to get to the Dark Sea, that place is only known to a few people besides A Kai. And A Kai is the only one we can find. Unless you join the Deep Sea Castle, you can't get in touch with others."
So, the others are official personnel
Tianyang nodded: "I hope he is willing to take us to the dark sea."
The magnetic energy vehicle was driving on the streets of the East District. Through the window, Tianyang occasionally saw homeless people huddled together in some dirty places on the street. There were men and women, as well as old people and children.
Most of those people were missing arms or legs, and some were wrapped in black bandages. Occasionally, a gold digger would pass by and throw some food to them, and these homeless people would pounce on them like wild dogs, scrambling for the food, and even the children were no exception.
Tianyang frowned.
"Except for the children, many of the others were originally gold diggers. But they were unlucky. They were injured in the adverse world, but not fatally. But after they came back, they no longer had the ability to survive and could only become homeless."
"Those children are usually the descendants of these people. When the pillars of their families suddenly collapse, they become homeless and live like weeds."
Longdan sighed, lamenting the unknown side of the gold diggers.
When passing a street corner, Tianyang saw an old man in his sixties standing on the side of the road. Although his clothes were old, they were relatively clean and his hair was combed.
It seems that this old man is also a homeless person, but he does not fight for food like other people, nor does he crowd in. He goes into one store after another, and it seems that he is not going to buy things, but to look for work, but every time, he will come out, and it seems that no one is willing to hire him.
His face was numb, but he still insisted on going to the next store.
“This kind of people are the most pitiful.”
Longdan shook his head. "He still remembers his past glory and still holds on to certain beliefs, refusing to go with the flow. But in fact, he has been abandoned by this city and this area. No matter how clean he cleans himself, no store here is willing to hire him."
"Because he is too old to do anything.
There must be some hidden diseases if they live like this. Those bosses don't want to cause trouble for themselves. People like this usually die soon. Because they are too persistent, but they have no fault in the first place. "
"They were just abandoned..."
Tianyang unconsciously became calm: "Didn't Deepsea Castle do anything about this?"
Longdan smiled and asked, "When you walk, do you pay attention to which ants are left uneaten near your feet? Although my analogy is exaggerated, it is the truth. People living in the main city do not see the world like this."
"In their world, poverty and disease do not exist, and they think that the world is just like this. So they don't see these phenomena, and even if they do, they will ignore them."
"Because, in their world, there are so many things that grab attention. Things that are more colorful and cheerful."
In front, Moonlight's voice sounded: "This phenomenon is not unique to Deep Sea Fortress. Other fortresses also have this situation, but the degree is different."
"Even in a super fortress, there is filth and corruption that you don't know about. This is how the world is."
Tianyang looked out the window again and said nothing.
When the car stopped, Tianyang saw a factory that modified ships. He looked at Longdan with some doubt, and the latter said affirmatively: "Akai lives here. The ship he uses to enter the reverse world must be modified by himself, so he can feel at ease."
"Occasionally, he would help people he knew to modify ships, but that's just what I heard. I'm not sure if it's true."
Longdan pushed open the two rusty iron doors of the factory and saw a boat parked in the open space inside the door. It was not very big and could only accommodate three to five people.
As soon as he entered the factory, Longdan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Akai, Akai. I was introduced by 'Sea Snake'. Are you there?"
No one answered, but Tianyang heard the sound of footsteps coming from the iron shed deep in the factory. A moment later, a man came out. He was not tall, but very strong, and his tanned skin was like a big piece of black iron.
The man with a square face, thick eyebrows and wiry hair, wearing greasy clothes, holding a wrench in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Longdan and said, "What do you want from me?"
He is Akai, an experienced adventurer.
Tianyang and Yueguang exchanged glances. They both felt the aura of Xing Yun on Ah Kai. There was no doubt that he was an Ascendant. But his rank should not be too high. Judging from his faint aura, he was at least rank 3, but not higher than rank 4.
Longdan smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum: "We want to hire you, we are going to the dark sea."
"No."
Ah Kai said without thinking, and walked back: "Remember to help me close the door when you go out."
Long Dan stopped laughing immediately. He chased after him and said, "No way. I was introduced by the sea snake. Don't you want to hear the reward we offer?"
"It is because you were introduced by the sea snake that I asked you to leave instead of 'get out'."
There was no expression on Akai's face, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Longdan shouted, "A box of gold bars, are you going or not!"
"No time."
Long Dan pointed at Tian Yang and the other person outside and said, "See those two
"No, they are masters, strong men of rank 6. If you make them unhappy, do you know what will happen?"
"The worst that can happen is death. What else can it be?" A Kai had already sat down, using a wrench to tighten a bolt the size of a child's fist.
Long Dan grabbed his head and said, "No, can't you just name a price?"
Ah Kai looked at him and said, "What price? You are going to the Dark Sea. Do you know what is there? That place is very dangerous. Even I could die there."
"So, no matter how much money you offer, I won't go. I don't want to lose my life."
Longdan took a few steps back and forth, then sneered: "I heard that you hunted dark jellyfish there, I thought you were different from other adventurers. It turns out that you are also a coward."
"Your provocation is terrible, you know that? Anyway, no matter what, I don't want to take risks in that kind of place unless it's necessary. No, going to the Dark Sea is not taking risks, it's seeking death."
A Kai smoked a cigarette, unscrewed the bolt, then took the tool and cleaned the stain on it.
Long Dan shook his head and returned to the open space helplessly: "No, that guy refuses to agree, I have no choice, how about you two give it a try?"
Moonlight shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't force it. You've been there before, so take us there."
Longdan clenched his fist and coughed dryly, saying, "I just know roughly how to get there, but I'm not familiar with that place. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."
Tianyang patted his shoulder: "No."
Longdan laughed dryly and said, "I have analyzed the information in the 'key'. I drew a sea chart and found that the 'Heritage of God' is near the dark sea. After we kill the dark jellyfish, we can go there for exploration."
Moonlight hummed, opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
Not long after they left, a magnetic vehicle arrived near the factory, the door opened, and a girl of about fifteen or sixteen got out and hurriedly ran into the renovation factory.
When Tianyang returned to the hotel, he saw Sun Sun and the other two. They seemed to have gone out shopping before, so he didn't run into them.
Now, Sun Sun was teasing Xiao Xitong, Hong Xiu was helping Fatty and cooking in the kitchen, Liu Ya was sitting next to Xing Luo, gesturing to her, but Xing Luo, who had not received any instructions from Tian Yang, had no reaction to Liu Ya's gestures at all.
Hearing footsteps, little Xitong raised her head smartly, and seeing it was Tianyang, she immediately crawled over for a hug.
Sun Sun also jumped up and said, "Boss, you guys are back. I heard from Hongxiu that you guys went to look for the adventurer Longdan mentioned. So, when are we going to set off for that dark sea?"
Moonlight said calmly, "Longdan failed to convince them, and they refused to agree to our request. So we plan to go out to sea by ourselves. Let's prepare today and set off tomorrow. Anyway, I have submitted an application to the Deep Sea Castle in the name of our hunting group. The application has been approved, and we can enter the Clave Gate at any time."
"However, this trip will be more dangerous, so you guys should stay and take care of the little guy and Hongxiu."
Tian Yang also said: "Xing Luo should stay too."
With her, a level 6 officer, guarding here, Tianyang feels more at ease.
Although Sun Sun was a little disappointed, he still obeyed Yue Guang's arrangement. Soon the fat man's dishes were ready. When everyone was getting ready to eat, there was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of a peacock outside.
"Sister Moonlight, someone is looking for that guy Longdan."
