The flat ground lowered from the rear has been restored to its original appearance, and no trace can be seen from the inside and outside.
Over the distant city, there is a small artificial lighting star hanging, emitting a soft light, and several high fans are located nearby, constantly circulating and filtering the air.
There is also a layer of energy shield on the periphery of the city. The speed of the starship is not reduced, and it directly crosses the shield.
"A flying robot is about to enter the inner city. Please pay attention to evacuation."
The sound of the notification sounded, and the high wall on the city's border opened a door, which was enough to accommodate the starships to pass through.
Ruan Qiu couldn't take his eyes off, looked at the scene outside the window in surprise, and even let his breath light.
The high walls of the city are endless. I don't know how much area there is. Most of the houses in it are relatively low, no more than six floors.
All kinds of buildings are closely separated, orderly in chaos, and the black and gray walls have a cold mechanical atmosphere.
The starship landed in the berthre area, and Xi Yuan said in Ruan Qiu's ear, "Let's go."
He took Ruan Qiu to the cockpit. The door had been opened, and there was a black pressure on the bottom.
This scene is very similar to when the starship first arrived at the Ocean Star, and Ruan Qiu followed the attack on Yuan.
As soon as the two figures appeared, the noisy crowd below immediately looked at it silently.
Ruan Qiu was not used to such a scene. He subconsciously stopped and leaned against the side of Xiyuan.
Xi Yuan took Ruan Qiu by his side, calmed his face, and glanced down: "What are you doing here?"
He was so powerful that everyone below was afraid of him and quickly dispersed.
Xi Yuan came out of the hatch, turned around and personally helped Ruan Qiu down.
There were still some people around who didn't go far. Ruan Qiu felt all kinds of inquiring eyes, and at the same time keenly sensed that these people seemed to be different from those in the starship.
Of course, there are a lot of people in the Star Thieves Organization who can occupy an entire planet.
Xi Yuan didn't bring too many subordinates when he went out this time, and those who can often follow him are people who have a good look, are not arrogant or impatient, and follow instructions and never make mistakes.
And some of the other people in the organization are more like "star thieves".
Xi Yuan was notified to come back two days ago, asking him to clean up the inside and outside of the inner city, and no one was allowed to do anything out of the ordinary in the near future.
When I heard that he had people with him, everyone didn't believe it, because it was impossible.
As a result, it really has a... silver-haired shallow pupils, outstanding appearance, and looks like a young sheep, which is incompatible with the environment here.
But how can the characteristics of this silver-haired shallow pupil be exactly the same as that of the main star?
"Lead, you're back!" A young man dared to approach, with a flattering smile on his face, "What's the harvest of going out this time? Let's open our eyes..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help sweeping Ruan Qiu's body and looking up and down.
Kang Shuangchi came in time and wanted to drive people away, but Xiyuan was one step ahead of him.
He grabbed the young man's collar, his drooping eyes were dark and gloomy, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"
The young man finally found himself stepping on the minefield and shivered: "Lead... Yes, I'm sorry..."
He directly felt the murderous intention of Xiyuan. Although he didn't say a word, the emotions in his eyes were warning him.
If you look at Ruan Qiu more, you will kill him.
Xi Yuan was obviously angry, and the people watching the bustle nearby retreated unconsciously and did not dare to stay any longer.
In ordinary organizations, there are people who bring their lovers back, some will protect them for a period of time, and some are generous and give them directly to their companions to play.
When they met Ruan Qiu for the first time, it was normal for them to be curious about him. Without the young man just now, there will be others who want to take a close look at him and test the real relationship between the two.
However, at this moment, they all know the position of this beautiful little sheep beside Xiyuan.
The young man was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. He was extremely sure that Xi Yuan would really kill himself.
Just as he was afraid, Qi Yuan loosened his collar and looked around.
Kang Shuangchi stood beside him, with a tense expression and said coldly, "Are you all idle to do? Get out of here."
The only people left bowed their heads and dispersed, and did not dare to look at Ruan Qiu again for fear of angering the attack on Yuan.
Li Luo came over with the display screen in her hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "Lead, pay attention to control your emotions."
At the same time, Ruan Qiu stretched out his hand from the rear and carefully touched the palm of the abyss.
Xi Yuan took the opportunity to hold him. When he turned around, his face had returned to normal, and he could not see the fierce appearance just now.
"It's okay, don't be afraid," he hugged Ruan Qiu as if no one was around. He paused and relieved his behavior just now: "I scared him."
Seeing that he had no sign of losing control, Ruan Qiu was relieved and nodded: "Hmm."
Then, a man-carrying mechanical car came along the tracks, and Xiyuan took Ruan Qiu to sit in.
The railway tracks lead to the city in all directions, all the way to the center.
Ruan Qiu was not scared by the episode just now. He looked at the scenery along the way through the glass window of the mechanical car.
The dungeon has a complete circulating air system and synthetic sunlight. The environment is not much different from the ground.
However, there are still relatively few green plants in the city. Occasionally, there are sporadic trees and small flower beds on the roadside. Some shops are built on the outermost floor, and then there is a whole row of restaurants, and the most central area is the residential area.
"I asked them to make a menu," the familiar body temperature approached, and Xi Yuan kissed Ruan Qiu's ear. "If there is anything you want to eat, ask someone to send it directly."
Ruan Qiu turned his head and looked forward to it: "I don't choose. I'll eat whatever you eat."
When he came to such an environment for the first time, everything was novel.
Moreover, this is the hometown of Xiyuan.
At least until now, Ruan Qiu thinks this place is not bad.
The mechanical car entered the residential area, and the surrounding environment suddenly became more noisy.
Ruan Qiu still wanted to look out of the window, but Xi Yuan suddenly pressed him into his arms and covered his ears with his hand.
"Okay," he lowered his head and said, "It's almost there."
The place where the leader lives is in the center of the whole city.
There is a three-story low building, which looks like a villa, which is a further away from the nearby buildings.
Xi Yuan led Ruan Qiu out of the car. There were already subordinates waiting downstairs. He opened the door of the courtyard and led them in.
Entering the gate, Xiyuan asked people to leave, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Ruan Qiu was not constrained. He looked everywhere in the room and wandered around every room.
Although the space here is spacious, few parts are used. The bare balcony is locked, and the environment is similar to the room in the starship.
Xi Yuan accompanied Ruan Qiu all the way and looked down at the time on the communicator: "Let's eat first."
He was informed in advance that he was coming back, and the subordinates of the inner city had already carefully prepared lunch and waited outside the gate.
Soon, the subordinate pushed the door in, put the plate on the table in the restaurant, and then retreated.
Lunch is much richer and heavier than when it is in the Starship.
Although Ruan Qiu's food is small, he is never picky about food and drinks a whole cup of freshly squeezed juice.
In the afternoon, Ruan Qiu went outside and walked around the low building.
Xi Yuan didn't take him farther away, and the surroundings seemed to have been cleaned up, and almost no one else could be seen.
Compared with the previous Ocean Star, there is really nothing interesting here. Ruan Qiu returned to the house and sat on the sofa watching the interest rate TV.
The city's artificial lighting star automatically adjusts the time. Before dark, Li Luo came.
She guessed that after Xi Yuan came back with Ruan Qiu, he would have appeared in public places less often.
So she simply sent a palm-sized display screen, on which it was the values of Xiyuan, so that Ruan Qiu could observe it by himself and pay attention to it at any time.
Li Luo also wanted to save her communication code to Ruan Qiu's communicator and was kicked out by the attack.
Dinner was still delivered by his subordinates. Halfway through the meal, Ruan Qiu found that Xiyuan had looked at the communicator several times.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, who are you communicating with?"
Xi Yuan put away the communicator, was silent for a moment, and told the truth, "Your uncle."
Ruan Qiu was stunned: "What did your uncle tell you?"
It turned out that when he didn't know it, Xiyuan and Si Xun had contacted in private.
This seemed to be a good thing, and Ruan Qiu was worried that the two would quarrel if they didn't say a word.
He pinched his chopsticks and said entangled, "You... didn't make your uncle angry, did you?"
"No," Xi Yuan peeled the shrimp for Ruan Qiu and reached out to feed him. "It's something else."
Si Xun informed him of several sub-star proposals, asking him to pay attention to the defense of the Griffin star recently.
Finally, he warned Xiyuan that Ruan Qiu was less than 19 years old this year.
There is no need to worry about Ruan Qiu about the proposal, so Xi Yuan didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was not ready to tell himself, Ruan Qiu didn't ask.
Anyway... it's good to communicate normally.
—
After dinner, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the bell rang over the city.
"Ddong--"
The dull voice sounded twice, and Ruan Qiu was very nervous: "What kind of sound is this?"
Xi Yuan hugged him: "Don't be afraid. It's the clock on the training ground, and it will ring every night."
Ruan Qiu relaxed and said curiously, "What is the training ground?"
Xi Yuan frowned gently and did not answer.
He remembered the document sent by Kang Shuangchi and mentioned that he could take his lover to a place he was familiar with.
But in the dungeon of Griffin Star, there seems to be no place suitable for Ruan Qiu to go.
Ruan Qiu sensed his mood and whispered, "Brother?" He opened a pair of clear and shallow pupils, and Xi Yuan bowed his head and kissed him. After a while, he asked, "Do you want to go?"
Ruan Qiu couldn't stop nodding.
He really wants to know more about Xiyuan. Since he has come, he can't stay in the house all the time or just hang out on the two streets.
Xi Yuan touched Ruan Qiu's soft silver hair and said, "Okay."
He summoned Kang Shuangchi to prepare a cubicle.
Then, the daytime mechanical car came to the door and took the two to a closed site behind the city.
The venue is very large, the periphery is wrapped in semi-circular alloys, and there are noisy and chaotic voices from time to time.
Kang Shuangchi waited outside the venue and greeted him: "Big boss."
He scratched his hair and was not sure whether to take them in, but he still followed Xi Yuan's instructions and led the two people through the side door.
The channel is connected to the prepared compartment, which is in the best position of the site.
Ruan Qiu followed Xi Yuan all the way in and looked down from several small windows of the passage.
The venue is a little similar to the college's interest venue. The tour platform is surrounded by densely filled with people, and the sound is very exciting.
The window is too small to be seen further down. Ruan Qiu vaguely guessed some uses of this place.
He calmed down and continued to walk forward.
Until he entered the compartment of the box, through the front floor-to-ceiling window, Ruan Qiu finally saw the situation in the center of the venue.
In the center is a large open space with a high fence on the edge, in which more than a dozen people stand.
These people were all gray-faced and dirty in clothes. They looked around with vigilance and alert.
There was a sofa in the compartment, and Xi Yuan took Ruan Qiu to sit down.
The transparent glass window is one-sided, and you can't see the inside from the outside, but Ruan Qiu is still a little nervous.
"Are those people also star thieves?" He turned his head and looked at Xi Yuan and asked, "Why are they here?"
This is called a training ground... So it's a place to train at ordinary times?
"Yes." Xi Yuan replied.
Before he could explain more, the bells rang throughout the venue.
At the moment of hearing the bell, more than a dozen people standing in the fence fought with each other.
The people around them are their targets. These people are bare-handed and show no mercy.
Soon, some physically exhausted people fell down, and some weapons such as blades suddenly poured into the outside.
The people inside immediately scrambled, and the blade poured in was very blunt, basically not fatal, but the smell of blood spread quickly.
Seeing the more chaotic scene, the people on the stage were very excited, and the voices were roaring one after another.
Ruan Qiu was shocked by this scene and turned his head and dared not look at it again.
Xi Yuan protected him and pressed the button on the side of the sofa. The glass window was covered with a layer of alloy, blocking all the sight and wasoling most of the sound.
He began to regret bringing Ruan Qiu over and comforted Ruan Qiu's back: "Don't look, let's go back."
Ruan Qiu hugged Yuan tightly and raised his head after a long time: "Brother, why are they doing this... Will they die?"
"In training," Xi Yuan whispered, "I won't die."
It is true that someone may die in the training ground, which has always been the case in the Star Pirates. Almost everyone in the Griffin Star has been in.
In order to save your life, you can fall early, but only when you stand to the end can you have a chance to get promoted.
Others will also bet on who will win tonight.
Looking at the look of Xi Yuan, Ruan Qiu guessed a little.
He clenched the clothes of the abyss and said in a daze, "Brother, have you been in too?"
Xi Yuan didn't hide it, "um" and said.
His expression was faint, as if he was just talking about today's weather, and he was used to everything. Even if such "training" was cruel, he didn't feel anything wrong.
Ruan Qiu remembered that he was full of injuries and couldn't help but feel sad.
He touched the black bandage on the neck of Xiyuan and was obviously depressed.
Xi Yuan picked him up and wanted to leave here: "Don't be afraid, let's go."
Ruan Qiu shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
He said, but buried his face in the arms of Xiyuan and refused to come out.
Xi Yuan simply took him out and got into the mechanical car.
When he returned to his residence, Ruan Qiu recovered and still stuck to the abyss.
"You don't have to go to that place now, do you?" He said nervously, "You are already the leader."
"Of course not," Xi Yuan hugged Ruan Qiu and pinched his chin: "Worry about me?"
Ruan Qiu nodded sullenly.
He found that he was so naive that this was not the "hometown" of Xiyuan at all.
The way of survival of the star thief is so cruel that he can't imagine how much hardships he has suffered to be today.
"Brother," Ruan Qiu whispered, "or don't be a star thief."
He had such an idea before, but he never said it directly.
After all, after being a star thief for so long, if you want to change, you still have to take your time.
Ruan Qiu held his face and said seriously, "I've been saving money... I can support you."
Si Xun pays a large amount of pocket money to his account every month, and Ruan Qiu has hardly used it.
Xi Yuan didn't say anything and kissed Ruan Qiu.
This time, Ruan Qiu was particularly well-behaved. He was not only very cooperative, but also didn't push away the attack when he couldn't stand the kiss.
The display screen in his pocket rang, and Ruan Qiu bluntly turned his head to avoid the kiss of the abysss and took out the display screen.
The above values are normal. I don't know what the prompt was just now.
Xi Yuan took the display screen and threw it aside, touching Ruan Qiu's lips: "Kiss again?"
His kissing skills progressed rapidly, but he seemed to be more and more dissatisfied.
Ruan Qiu was a little scared, and because of what he saw tonight, he was still distressed.
His eyelashes trembled, and he hesitated and said aggrievedly, "Then don't be so fierce..."
Xi Yuan's breathing aggravated a little. He restrained his behavior and kissed Ruan Qiu on the cheek: "Okay."
