Jing Jiu did not like watching TV, watching movies, playing games, or traveling.
The traveling mentioned here referred to the activities that ordinary people often did, such as sunbathing, admiring beauties, climbing famous mountains and rivers, and setting off lanterns by the river. It did not include the activities such as the star being devoured or the civilization being destroyed. Since he was already here, he did not mind being a tourist. Therefore, he did not refuse Shen Yunmai's invitation to go to Midnight Ball with him.
"I'm not going," Hua Xi said with a bit of displeasure.
Jing Jiu thought that according to common sense or science fiction, shouldn't she like to participate in these activities?
Hua Xi felt that she was innocent and shouted, "I'm still a child!"
Her small face was slightly round with baby fat, and her eyes and eyebrows were still childish. Her body wrapped in the swimsuit was quite cute. She was a beautiful little girl. It was true that the entertainment activities in Midnight Ball were not suitable for children. Even experienced adults would not be able to accept them. However, she was not a child at all.
Jing Jiu felt that this problem was a bit complicated, so he followed Shen Yunmai and the tall woman to the sea without thinking too much.
The sea water parted without any wind, like glass being cut into two halves, forming a passage. The scene looked quite magical, just like some sayings in ancient religions.
At the end of the passage, which was paved with slightly wet sand, was a streamlined aircraft. Judging from the structure and shape of the engine, it should be an amphibious aircraft that could move forward in the sea.
The resistance of the sea water was many times stronger than that of the air, not to mention the resistance of traveling in space. There was only one explanation why this aircraft would move forward in the sea, that was, to see the scenery under the sea.
Compared to the land, the sea was closer to the vastness of the universe. This planet had not been transformed for a long time, so the species of the creatures in the sea were relatively simple. However, the scenery here was also ever-changing. From time to time, some bizarre sea creatures would appear outside the window, which would be captured by the surveillance system and displayed on the light screen. The speed of the aircraft was quite fast in the sea. If an ordinary person looked out of the window, they could only see the bubbles moving backward and the colors of the seaweed, but they could not see clearly.
The woman noticed that the two guests did not look at the light screen at all. She wondered whether they had good eyesight, or they were not interested in the scenery under the sea.
Either way, it proved that the identities of these two guests were not ordinary.
Of course, the guests who could receive top-notch service on this planet were not ordinary people.
She was the famous Queen of the Night on this planet. The fees were extremely expensive, and today's itinerary was unimaginably expensive.
This amount of money was enough to buy a 200-square-meter apartment in the capital of the Main Planet, plus ten first-class tickets to and from the Main Planet.
Since the customers were not interested in the bottom of the sea, they needed to provide a better experience. The aircraft quickly broke through the surface of the sea and arrived in the sky.
This was a famous large wave area. Due to the dual traction of the distant star and its high-mass companion star, the surface of the sea would form huge waves at certain times. The tallest wave was more than a hundred meters high, and it looked like a wall of water that kept crashing towards you.
Visiting the Big Wave Zone had always been the most popular self-funded activity on this planet. A few years ago, under the lobbying of the tourism companies, the Administrative Council passed the Marine Protection Act, clarifying the upper limit of the number of tourists who could enter the deep sea to see the big waves every day. Since then, this project has become the most expensive project, and the daily allocation of the number of tourists on this planet is even more credible than crystals. Judging from this, one could imagine how magnificent and beautiful the big waves were.
Shen Yunmai had some reaction. He tapped on the armrest with his fingers to beat a certain rhythm, as if he had an impulse to compose a song while looking at the stormy waves.
Jing Jiu clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on the armrest. He took a look at the huge waves outside the window, remaining silent.
The woman was puzzled, wondering why these two people were so indifferent. Even the way they looked at her did not change.
She did not think that she was more beautiful than the waves. It was just that she had not worn any clothes since she appeared, showing off her alluring body.
Even the interstellar humans, who were used to the direct stimulation of their consciousness, could not remain so calm.
…
…
Each wave was higher than the previous one.
The aircraft dashed toward the wall-like waves, creating more than a dozen water holes in a row. It was a marvelous scene.
Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai were unfazed by the slight quaking, the thunder-like sound of water, and the visual stimulation coming toward their faces.
Shen Yunmai yawned out of boredom after he had finished composing the song.
Since the guests were not interested in it, the aircraft did not stop there. It sped up again and headed toward the destination. It did not take long for the aircraft to approach the boundary between day and night.
The permanent star in the distance had fallen to the horizon behind it. The rear window of the aircraft became transparent at the right time, and the luminous tail behind the permanent star could be vaguely seen.
The high-mass companion star was hidden in the universe in the depths of the luminous tail and could not be seen. As a result, the scene looked like a tadpole.
The twilight fell on the faces of Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai. It was as beautiful and ordinary as the scenery at the moment.
The color of the seawater was divided into two colors. The distance was much darker, like ink. Dozens of building complexes appeared in the sky.
Jing Jiu's line of sight fell on those buildings, feeling interested.
"They look like the floating docks of the distant ancient civilization, but they are actually fake. They look like the space elevators that are used in many places nowadays, which are held by the super-tiny particles. Many hotels on the vacation stars are like this. It's a kind of gimmick." Shen Yunmai went on, "They could have used the floating technology, but it's too expensive and troublesome to modify. The research on the anti-gravity in the Federation of the Milky Way is not advanced enough. The old guy in the Science Academy doesn't like going to the space laboratory the most, saying that the gravity there is too stiff and fake. "
The woman felt even more startled when she heard the terms in the conversation, wondering what kind of important figures these two were.
… …
… …
There was no artificial permanent star on the night side of the planet, nor was it illuminated like the one in Shou 'er City. It was because the tourists who came here on vacation didn't like the broad daylight.
Yet, it didn't mean that the place was deserted. In fact, the city was brightly lit and full of people, even more so than during the day. Countless tourists and people who stayed here all year round were looking around nervously, feeling the novelty of the scene, or leaning against the wall in a daze while holding the wine bottles in their hands.
Some guys in hoodies could be seen in the corners of the streets and even in the square where the water was sprayed in the air. The air was filled with tobacco, hard liquor, and some other pungent odors. The fully armed police officers looked at the scene expressionlessly, not paying any attention to it. It was because what they were doing was permitted by the laws of the planet.
The flying device landed on the square. Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai walked out of it, led by the tall woman. It was unclear when she had put on a light yellow windbreaker.
She was very famous in this dark city, attracting a great deal of attention. The people guessed the identities of Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai in surprise, thinking that these two must be the important figures in the Federation of the Milky Way; but why were they not protected by the soldiers or even a bodyguard?
The main gate of the largest casino had been opened a long time ago, waiting for the arrival of the important guests. The rare and precious wool carpet was waiting to be touched by the feet of the important figures.
Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai walked past the gambling tables without stopping, nor did they go to the most advanced gambling room prepared for them by the travel company. The professional gamblers and the rich businessmen who had been invited to the casino had no choice but to sit in the rooms and wait in boredom. They had been warned sternly in advance, so they didn't dare to complain.
There was a striptease hall behind the casino. The psychedelic lights shone on the striptease dancers floating in the air, making the place look even more psychedelic. The striptease dancers started their performance amidst the music. Many guests revealed an infatuated expression; it was unclear whether it was because of the attractive bodies or the effect of the aphrodisiac spray in the air.
A number kept flashing on the light screen on one side of the dance hall, which was the number of credits transferred by the guests to the striptease dancers. To some extent, it was like a list.
In such a place, Jing Jiu still clasped his hands behind his back, looking like a leader inspecting a cultural place.
The woman thought he was dissatisfied, explaining in a low voice, "We have been stricter recently."
"It's not because we have been stricter; it's because of the return of aesthetic appreciation."
Shen Yunmai said to Jing Jiu, "In the past, you could see the incarnations of all kinds of erotic bodies here. You could have as many erotic bodies as you wanted, and you could have played them in ways you couldn't even imagine. However, as time went by, even the most perverted tourists began to feel bored. Creatures can't get rid of their instincts, and aesthetic appreciation is rooted in them. So, it's only natural that things return to the past."
Both the casino and the striptease hall were supposed to be the appetizers arranged by the travel company, but unexpectedly, the two distinguished guests treated them as a mere formality.
Shen Yunmai sat in a soft chair in the general's suite on the top floor of the hotel and said to the woman, "Take it out."
The person waiting for him in the hotel was neither a big shot from a vacation planet nor dozens of beautiful young girls, but a box of drugs in a safe box.
The drugs emitted a deep blue color under the light, similar to the dark flame used to set off the battleship alarm.
The woman took off her windbreaker again, revealing her naked body. She knelt before Shen Yunmai, opened a bottle of drugs with a special method, and brought it to him.
Shen Yunmai said to Jing Jiu, "Try this."
Jing Jiu asked, "Is this the good thing you want to show me?"
Shen Yunmai said, "This drug was originally designed to treat peripheral neuropathy. Later, it was found that it could adjust the discharge of the cranial nerves. But the side effect was too severe, so the animal experiments weren't carried out. It can only be obtained here."
Jing Jiu ignored him and walked to the window to look at the night sky. He clenched his right fist and placed it gently on the windowsill.
There were real stars in the night sky and dozens of brighter objects, which were the private spaceships of the big shots and wealthy businessmen who came here for a vacation.
The light reflected by these spaceships came from the star with a long tail.
"I want to bask in the sun," Jing Jiu said.
"Didn't you bask in the sun for a few hours today?"
Shen Yunmai took the drug bottle and sniffed it gently. His voice became a bit erratic.
Jing Jiu didn't explain. He sniffed the remaining smell in the air and quickly figured out the molecular structure of the drug. "It's easy to design this kind of chemical structure," he said. "Why don't you ask the Science Academy to do it?"
Shen Yunmai said, "Playing games in the human world, playing games in the human world … Don't you understand the word 'games'?"
Jing Jiu thought for a while and said, "I used to be the chief planner of games."
Shen Yunmai said gloomily, "Since you live so clearly, why don't you die?"
Jing Jiu said, "I don't want to die."
Shen Yunmai smiled and motioned for the woman to pour the drug into the goblet.
One drop, two drops, two bottles … The dark blue liquid kept falling into the goblet.
Shen Yunmai didn't intend to ask the woman to stop.
The woman didn't dare to disobey him, but her face grew paler, and her hands trembled slightly.
It was illegal to use this drug in its original form until it was highly purified.
It was strictly forbidden to use it even in this world full of pleasure and darkness.
It was because the side effect of this drug was so strong that it shouldn't even be called a side effect.
Two milligrams of the drug could kill an adult. The side effect should be called toxicity.
If the goblet in Shen Yunmai's hand was put into the water supply, it could kill half of the people in the city.
Without any warning, he raised the goblet in his hand and said to Jing Jiu, "I wish us a happy death."
Having said that, he emptied the goblet in one gulp.
Looking at the goblet in Shen Yunmai's hand and the woman kneeling in front of him, Jing Jiu shook his head sympathetically, turned around, and left the room.
Kneeling on the carpet, the woman suddenly felt very cold.
This was the most luxurious and expensive room on the planet. She was the most expensive woman, and the goblet was the newest, best, and most expensive drug.
But why did she feel so sad when all these things were combined?
…
…
Late at night, Shen Yunmai sat up on the unimaginably large bed and sat by the bed for a while. Then, he walked to the window and looked at the dark city, remaining silent for a long time.
"Since you understand it so clearly, why don't you die?"
This was the question he posed to Jing Jiu.
In fact, it was because he understood it so clearly that he could only rely on a little sense of responsibility and these spiritual thorns to activate it.
For people like Shen Yunmai and Jing Jiu, most of the desires and emotions in the real world could no longer be effective stimuli.
This universe would belong to Shen Yunmai and Jing Jiu in the future.
Money was nothing in front of the universe.
Bastards.
Those rich customers who gambled with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of credits in the casino were no different from fighting cocks in the eyes of Shen Yunmai and Jing Jiu.
Shen Yunmai and Jing Jiu could even control the minds of those people with just a look. How could they play this game?
It was the same for everything related to sex.
On the contrary, the pain could bring some real feelings.
The uniforms, strong alloy handcuffs, black leather whips, thorns, and some ropes scattered on the carpet indicated what had happened before.
When he turned off some of the sensory controllers in his body, he could indeed feel the pain and the slight pleasure that followed. Unfortunately, the pleasure was short-lived. Just like when he was groaning just now, he suddenly felt that everything was absurd and unreal. But he didn't stop the process. Instead, he turned over and let the woman continue.
There was a slight noise on the bed. The woman woke up and asked him if he wanted another goblet of wine.
Shen Yunmai knew that the woman hadn't fallen asleep. She closed her eyes out of fear.
It was absurd to say that the person holding the whip would be afraid of the person being whipped.
Shen Yunmai waved his hand to let the woman sleep soundly. Then, he continued to look out of the window.
The city was so quiet and gloomy, even though it was already early in the morning.
There would never be a sunrise here, no matter how many years he had to wait.
Shen Yunmai suddenly felt like chatting, so he dialed Jing Jiu's communicator.
"What are you doing?"
"Basking in the sun."
"You really like basking in the sun? Didn't the book say that you only like snow? Don't you like the sun the most? "
"It's … close … very good."
There was some noise coming from the communicator. It seemed that there was some kind of interference. Shen Yunmai found it strange. He thought that this was the best communication device. Even if they were separated by two galaxies, they could still talk as if they were talking on the other side. So, he asked, "Where on earth are you?"
Jing Jiu's voice came from the communicator. It seemed that he was in a distant place.
"I'm in the sun."
