"Let's go."
They didn't care about those ill-intentioned bastards because they couldn't fight here. Anyone who tried to attack this hotel was dead. Even if they weren't killed on the spot, they wouldn't be able to escape the joint pursuit of both the government and the underworld.
After leaving the noisy place, Li Ke and Sarah walked into a long corridor. Just like the outside, the corridors of this underground hotel were filled with a large number of pipes. Not only that, but one could also see all sorts of screws and nuts as decorations. On the way to Li Ke and Sarah's room, they passed by four to five rooms that were obviously broken and pieced together. It seemed that this building wasn't planned properly from the start.
What interested Li Ke the most was that the room they booked wasn't as dirty and messy as the outside. The dark red bed, slightly peeling walls, and a flower vase that looked like a pump. The flower vase was made entirely out of metal plates, and the dim light from the lamps made the room seem so comfortable. Furthermore …
"Safe."
Sarah knocked on the door wrapped in red cotton cloth. She nodded in satisfaction when she heard the metallic echo from inside. Then, she sat on the bed in the small room that was completely transformed from a train carriage. She started to take off her white shirt.
"This hotel is quite interesting. It's actually made from carriages."
Li Ke knocked on the wall. The thick metal plate made him feel relieved. The various bolts behind the door also gave him a sense of security.
"In the beginning, Pachecheng once planned a Hex technology train on the sea. It was a type of train that was powered by a powerful horse-drawn carriage and pulled a bunch of carriages like this. However, it was left unfinished after a few big names from the shipping company went on a trip. The train plan from top to bottom died after that. Therefore, some people had the idea of using these carriages that had been built long ago, so many people used these things as houses. "
Sarah flicked her hair and smiled at Li Ke. Then, she flipped over on the large red bed and started taking off her leather pants.
"It does look good."
Li Ke nodded. He saw some strange things through the window of the room. Outside the room was an underground street. There were many people moving around and trading something.
"I can't take a bath."
Sarah closed the curtains and smiled at Li Ke.
"That's a problem."
Li Ke threw out a few seeds and let them grow out of the room as guards. Then, he grabbed Sarah's outstretched hand.
"Do you want to use sheep intestines?"
"No need."
"Also, let's not talk about those people who want to attack us."
"Can they beat me?"
"Then it's fine … Ah."
While Li Ke and Sarah were casually resting in this place, a large group of people in Pi City and Zu An were busy. The fact that they couldn't find the culprit who killed so many people on the streets gave the person in charge a headache and made him angry.
"You have to understand, under normal circumstances, our young men are still very brave. But if it's like this …"
He pointed at the person who was smashed into the ground with his fist. There wasn't any trace of Hex technology. The first person to arrive at the scene helplessly spread out his hands and showed a helpless expression to his superior.
"Everyone still needs to contribute to Pi City's security."
So this is the reason for your dereliction of duty?
Even though he wanted to say this out loud, the person in charge still sighed helplessly and nodded. He also knew that the real security forces were the private armies of the big families, as well as all kinds of secret forces. Therefore, the most they could do was maintain law and order, catch some small thieves, and deal with some small fights. The police really didn't have the ability to do so. They couldn't fool around with equipment anymore. If they wanted good equipment, they could only buy it themselves or get the support of their families. Asking a bunch of young men to capture a criminal was indeed asking them to die.
But every time he encountered such a situation, he felt helpless and wanted to ask this question.
"I'll go find Madam Grey and let her take charge of this matter. But you guys can't slack off either. At the very least, you have to find out where that person went."
This time, the person in charge revealed a relaxed expression. If it was just asking them to do this, these police officers equipped with communication devices and Hex technology guns would still be able to do it. After all, this wasn't a secret. After doing such a thing, if the culprit didn't immediately head out to sea, then he must be hiding in one of Zu An's underground hotels.
In fact, he already knew where Li Ke and Sarah were staying, but he didn't dare to capture them.
But at this moment, a nimble figure appeared above them. The person in charge of this area sensed great danger. He immediately grabbed the officer who heaved a sigh of relief and tried to escape. But at that moment, the figure landed abruptly and stabbed the officer's feet into the ground.
"No need to look for me, I'm already here."
The person who came made the two police officers suck in a deep breath. This lady with delicate white 'hair' and blue eyes was the Madam Grey they were talking about. She was the strongest spy in Pi City and also the most experienced one. A legend, a …
The coordinator and controller of the underground world.
"There's no need to continue to make things difficult for Mr. Terk. This matter is entirely due to the Budaman Family. Their greed and flattery towards Noxus caused this to happen. So, this matter ends here. There's no need to investigate further, and there's no need to arrest them. After all, they had indeed done a foolish thing. They had used a warrant that had already been canceled to arrest an esteemed guest of the Emperor. Do you understand? Mr. Slaman. "
Her voice was very elegant, and every word was pronounced perfectly. She sounded quite young and pleasing to the ears. But whether it was Mr. Terk or his superior, Slaman, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Un, understood."
Slaman lowered his head deeply. Although it wasn't the first time he saw Madam Grey, he didn't dare to look directly into her eyes. But just when he thought that Madam Grey was going to leave, her voice sounded again.
"Very good. There's one more thing, Mr. Terk. I will have a drink with you tomorrow afternoon because of your performance in this matter. I hope you can let us have a decent talk."
