Chapter 208 Gold-plated quagmire (2 in 1 asking for a monthly pass)(2/3)
Prevent Ruth from being killed by Navy bullets.
Although the development of things was quite different from Yi Lin's original idea, Yi Lin also discovered more weird things in this plot mode.
Overall, there are gains and losses.
Yi Lin thought of the deal with Calypso again.
In the "Curse" column on the captain's panel, there was an additional item "Calypso's Gaze", which made Yi Lin feel that something was wrong.
If Calypso fails to complete Calypso's commission as agreed, there may be some terrible consequences.
Of course, Yi Lin was not afraid, it was just a curse after all.
It's just that Yi Lin doesn't know how powerful Calypso, who calls himself "Poseidon", is.
Omniscient? Omnipotent?
Yi Lin smiled slightly.
"If you are so awesome, why would you entrust that matter to an ordinary human being?"
"Outsiders? Huh."
In deep thought, Yi Lin, who had been busy all night, also felt a little sleepy, so she lay down directly on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
Three poles in the sun.
Yi Lin dressed up and came to the Governor's Palace openly and openly once again.
After the explosion last night, the defense lines of the Governor's Mansion have been strengthened by several levels. There are layers of guards, three circles inside and three outside, surrounding the entire Governor's Mansion, almost impenetrable.
Yi Lin stood there and made a rough estimate for a while. Even if [Following Like a Shadow] was turned on, with this level of defense, it was absolutely impossible to sneak in without being discovered.
This can no longer be called a patrol. It is simply stationed here with heavy troops, leaving no gaps.
Yi Lin raised her head.
Looking at the roof of the Governor's Palace.
Unless... from above.
Yi Lin revealed her identity, but was still blocked from the surrounding net.
"The Governor has ordered that from now on, no one will be seen, not even the fiancée of the respected Governor."
The leader of the team apologetically rejected Yi Lin's request to see the Governor.
The more he protected that governor, the more Yi Lin felt that there was something fishy in it.
It's just that under the current situation, it's not easy for Yi Lin to break through, so she can only give up for now.
Furthermore, he came to the Governor's Mansion for a stroll, just to take a look. He did not really have to meet his "fiancé" through normal means.
In the communication panel.
After Yi Lin canceled the "do not disturb" request for Gu Tianqing, neither of them took the initiative to initiate a private chat, and became strangely silent, falling into a delicate state.
"The 'smoke bomb' is enough. If we continue it, it will seem too deliberate."
Yi Lin quickly twisted her waist and left the Governor's Mansion.
The whole of London was immersed in a tense atmosphere.
The streets are covered with wanted posters for "Skeleton Gentleman".
The wanted poster shows a man wearing an elegant tuxedo, a skull gentleman's hat, and a "smiling face" mask on his face.
——There is also a ferocious-looking dog with its fangs exposed.
The reward amount above is... one hundred thousand pounds.
For a damn pirate, this is undoubtedly a sky-high reward.
But when Yi Lin saw this reward order that was remade overnight, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
The image of the dog on the wanted poster is as scary as possible. It looks like a creature from hell. Even the background of the dog uses an abstract technique, using black ink to paint a large black shadow.
It adds a bit of eerie and mysterious atmosphere to the dog.
According to the image of this wanted poster, it would be a ghost to find that stupid dog.
Yi Lin suppressed her laughter and left the place silently.
No words for a day.
Until... late at night.
In London.
The fog is thick.
The moon is dark and the wind is cool.
In Swan Castle, two women in disguise sneaked out.
Went directly to the slums.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Yi Lin and Ruth simply disguised themselves and looked less conspicuous, walking through the narrow alleys.
Corruption, oil, moss.
Crawling cockroaches, happily jumping mice, criss-crossing ditches, completely untreated sewage, exuding a stench in the sewers.
There is a smell of poverty everywhere around you. Compared with the luxurious urban areas, it is like a world of difference and it is clear at a glance.
In the slums, there is not even a single guard. It seems that this is a dirty corner of London that even the royal guards are unwilling to visit.
"This is obviously a good place to hide people. Why don't you search here and search people on the street?"
When Yi Lin saw it, she immediately felt a little funny.
Ruth shrugged helplessly: "Who knows, maybe those guys think that the elegant captain is not happy to hide in such a ghost place."
Yi Lin was speechless.
In his opinion, it was more likely that Tiramisu issued a city-wide search order from above, but the guards below knew clearly that there was such a place in London, but they were unwilling to come because it was too dirty and messy.
Search here, pretend to be diligent, and shed sweat and tears on the streets of London, a typical bureaucratic style.
Can the leaders see the work in the slums?
It’s useless!
It's better to sweat on the street in the scorching sun and still get appreciation from the upper class.
Yi Lin quickly understood the secret.
In addition to cockroaches and rats, the narrow alleys were also filled with stinky poor people.
There were many flies and mosquitoes, smelling the attractive smell of the poor people, and hovering over the piles of poor people lying down.
Ruth frowned, took out a small delicate wet wipe and covered her mouth and nose.
Yi Lin didn't care. Anyway, he had experienced worse environments. This was just child's play. Apart from being a little uncomfortable, he didn't lose any blood, so there was nothing special about it.
Half an hour later.
Ruth and Yi Lin finally arrived at their destination.
"I suggest you put that damn wipe in your hand away."
Yi Lin turned her head expressionlessly and reminded.
Although Ruth was reluctant, under Yi Lin's serious threat, she crumpled the small wipe into a ball and threw it in the corner with disgust.
In front of the two of them, there was a pile of messy garbage, piled up into a hill, exuding an indescribable smell.
In the hill, a passage is faintly revealed. There is no light and the dark passage is like the entrance to a devil's cave. It looks very scary.
Ruth waved to Yi Lin in a low voice: "Captain, here!"
Yilin followed the sound and approached.
On the ground where Ruth pointed, there was a simple skull pattern carved on it.
Without hesitation, after Ruth pointed out the entrance, Yi Lin got directly into the garbage pile.
Both sides were filled with garbage of various shapes, without classification, and it was unknown how long it had been accumulated here. There was even a lot of rotten food covered with white bugs.
At this moment, Yi Lin finally understood why in the huge London, there could be a gathering place for pirates, hidden in the big city.
As the saying goes, a big secret is hidden in the city, a small secret is hidden in the dirty world.
This kind of dirty place, let alone the navy, if Yi Lin didn't have a special purpose and no special reason, she would never want to get close to it.
The passage formed by the garbage mountain slopes downward at an angle of about 30 degrees. After walking about ten meters, the surrounding gradually turns into a solid wall, which is no longer made of garbage. Relatively speaking, it looks much cleaner.
And Ruth's frown relaxed a little.
soon.
Waves of slight vibrations came from the front, mixed with noisy and noisy sounds.
Take a few more steps.
The pungent and rich smell of rum gradually overcame the stench of decay.
finally.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
To be continued...
