Welcome to the alien city

Chapter 11 The Cross

Gu Li was not in a good mood when she got up to go to work the next day. She seemed to have had a nightmare last night, and she still felt a strong sense of loss when she woke up. She stayed in bed for a while, and finally wiped her face and got up.

Today is her first official day at work, so it's best not to be late.

As soon as her pale and slender ankles fell to the ground, Gu Li suddenly heard a knock on the door downstairs. She pulled on her slippers and stood at the window looking down, meeting the eyes of Eric who had changed into a dark black dress today.

She skillfully ignored the huge heads that appeared in front of her from time to time and the dozens of demonic eyes on them, and naturally chose the one that was better for her eyes.

Gu Li leaned against the window and waved to him and said hello: "Good morning Eric, wait for me."

After she finished cleaning up, there was actually nothing left to pack. The only clothes she wore were the white nightgown she was wearing. She washed her clothes hastily and went downstairs to open the door.

She turned sideways and invited Eric in, then took out the only food she had from the kitchen cabinet. As usual, she admired the beautiful Child of Light on it. She held the bottle in her mouth. She glanced at Eric and spoke vaguely. : "Aren't you asking me to go to work by myself today?"

Eric sat down on the shabby sofa that he had managed to pack downstairs. His back was straight at all times, and the sofa squeaked.

It brings a bit of humor to the elegant sheep's feet sitting upright.

He handed the suitcase at hand to Gu Li without changing his expression: "There are very few clothes suitable for girls like you in the areas we trade with. I have asked people to buy them from further away. It may take some time. ."

"Before that, I can only force you to make do with these. Don't worry, they have never been worn."

Gu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took the suitcase without any courtesy, patted Eric's shoulder, and said vaguely with a nutrient supplement in his mouth: "I can do anything, thank you."

Eric nodded, stood up and picked up his cane. Only then did Gu Li realize that the Satyr was actually equipped with a silver cane that matched his dress, which matched his temperament quite well.

Eric walked out the door: "You did a good job yesterday. I think you will adapt to this job quickly. Today I am on duty beside the king. It's time to leave."

Gu Li carried the box in his hand and decided to go upstairs to change clothes. Looking at his back, he suddenly thought of something and asked casually: "Eric, do you know where the underground street is?"

The Satyr came to the door and paused. Turning to look at Gu Li, the look in her eyes made her feel bad. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Well, if there is any secret, you don't have to tell me."

Eric's dozens of disapproving looks made Gu Li sweat a little.

"The underground street is too dangerous for a newborn kid like you. The people who came to eat yesterday were just the lowest-level irrational guys. You must promise me not to find a way to the underground street without authorization. It is a hell for you now. "

Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently in response to Eric's gaze. She understood that as an advanced copy, she was not qualified yet.

She was not discouraged, but asked enthusiastically: "Then how far will it take to go?"

"Miss, I don't think you need to go..."

A voice intervened: "Wait a minute Eric, you are like an old mother worrying about her children. In fact, our Miss Guli has long passed the age of drinking milk."

Eric's voice deepened and he looked over: "Levi." Levi, who walked through the door waving his tentacles, seemed to be very happy to see Eric deflated. Even the tentacles on his body became more active. His voice was brisk: " You must still not know what happened last night. When I was escorting the lady home, I encountered an undercurrent."

When the Satyr heard this, he quickly glanced at Gu Li up and down, and his voice was a little low and angry: "You should tell me this matter as soon as possible."

Levi stretched out one of his main wrists to pat Eric's shoulder, but was blocked by the silver cane. He retracted his wrist without any care. His tone was a little excited: "Miss is indeed a good boy who can still maintain his sanity after being polluted by the king." , the strength shown last night was just awesome.”

"It's just an underground street. Why not wait until the young lady masters the power and passes my assessment before going there."

Eric was silent for a moment, glanced at the brass-colored pocket watch on the sheep's hooves, and strode out, his tone unquestionable: "Then let me do the assessment. It's getting late, Levi, it's time for you to work. ."

"Alright, alright."

Levi, who was taken away by Eric, waved his wrist and threw something to Gu Li: "Take it, this is a meeting gift for you, goodbye."

The low and loud voices of the two people gradually faded away. Gu Li could hardly believe that they were now terrifying-looking non-human beings just by hearing the voices. Sapphire cross.

The tentacles had the texture of heavy metal. She hesitantly held the short side of the cross and raised it to look at it. It didn't look like a traditional prayer cross, but more like a weapon that could hurt people.

This cross was too heavy for Gu Lila. She put the cross on her lap and looked at it carefully. When she touched the short side, there was a click, and she held the hilt of a short sword. Pulled out from the short side of the cross.

Her eyes lit up, and she fumbled for a moment on the top of the cross as usual, and then pulled out a silver-white long sword with fine lines carved on the hilt.

Gu Li couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop her from liking this exquisitely designed weapon.

Half an hour later, Gu Li, wearing Eric's same dress, stood on the pier with a long sword on his waist. The pier that was damaged yesterday had been repaired overnight, and a pier appeared faintly on the dark sea. Little black dot.

She stepped forward with her legs wrapped in off-white stockings and stepped aside to make way for her dark porters. She waited for them to finish unloading the goods before registering and distributing them.

On the unmanned freighter in the distance, a figure quietly climbed onto the roof of the ship from the cab, squatting under the fence with the lightest movements in her life. This movement alone caused cold sweat to break out on her forehead, for fear of disturbing things on the ship. .

He Wei secretly hated herself again for being disobedient and running around in the area. Now her short hiding place had taken her sailing for two hours, but she didn't know where the ship was going!
  What's worse is that she discovered that there must be some kind of pollution on the ship that has not yet appeared, otherwise it cannot explain why the ship is unmanned!

She quietly glanced ahead between the rusty railings. She wanted to confirm where this place was as soon as possible and then have someone pick her up.

But the moment he saw it clearly, his eyes widened in fear.

She could hear her teeth chattering slightly, the city surrounded by black.

Definitely a city of alien species.
