Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1623: Visitors from Beyond (10)

After the doctor left, Lou Xing tidied up his clothes, smoothing out every wrinkle.

"Miss Chuzheng, what’s the situation outside now?"

Chuzheng found it too troublesome to explain, so she went out and brought back a newspaper.

Recent news was on it; districts two and one were under martial law, searching everywhere for him.

The previous wanted notice didn’t specify a crime. Only now did Lou Xing know why he was wanted.

The person he was chasing before was a habitual thief, and no one had ever been able to catch him.

However, he rarely came to district two or one. This time, he unexpectedly went to district one and stole something.

He was temporarily assigned to lead a special operations team to capture this person.

When he led his team, he still didn’t know what had been stolen. The higher-ups only said it was very important.

Now, it says here that he colluded with that person and let him into district one.

Lou Xing was aware of what he had done; these were clearly false accusations.

Previously, Lou Xing had felt something was wrong. The person knew him too well—more than what outsiders could know, it was internal information.

Eventually, he and his companions were separated, and in retrospect, it seemed quite unusual.

Someone’s been orchestrating this behind the scenes...

"What do you plan to do?" Chuzheng asked him.

"..."

Lou Xing hadn’t decided yet.

Districts one and two were all over his wanted list. He usually moved around these areas a lot, and numerous photos of him had been published in the newspapers.

So here, just by appearing, there’s a ninety percent chance he’d be recognized.

Lou Xing folded the newspaper and placed it back on the table: "You know I’m wanted now; aren’t you afraid I’ll implicate you?"

Chuzheng casually said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have saved you."

Lou Xing met Chuzheng’s gaze, and after two seconds of silence, asked, "Miss Chuzheng, why did you appear in that place?"

The place where his incident happened was between districts three and two, and he ended up falling below. Why did she go down there for no reason?

This question is interesting; how should I answer it?

Should I say I stole your stuff and then tracked you down, or say I have a system that obliged me to save you?

That’s not realistic!

Chuzheng dodged the question: "Coincidence."

Lou Xing: "Coincidence?"

Chuzheng nodded earnestly: "Yes." Trust me! It really was a coincidence! I just wanted to sneak in!!

Lou Xing remained silent, not asking further.

He’s not the Executor of the Special Operations Team now.

In the following two days, Lou Xing observed that Chuzheng was only accompanied by someone named Ah Hui, but they spent generously, not caring about silver coins at all.

Not to mention, the hotel he’s staying at has a frighteningly high daily expenditure.

There were quite a few wealthy people in district two, but it’s hard to find anyone who dares to spend silver coins like this.

Lou Xing couldn’t use any of his equipment; once used, it would expose his position, so he couldn’t investigate her identity.

-

Three days later.

Lou Xing left a note and ran away.

Chuzheng: "..."

I provided you with good food and drinks, and you decided to run away!

Did I give you too much freedom?

Chuzheng’s whole body radiated cold air, with Brother Hui standing beside her like a statue, pretending ’I didn’t see anything’.

"Get the doctor sorted, don’t let them talk nonsense." Chuzheng tucked the note into her pocket and instructed Brother Hui coldly.

"Alright."

Money can make the devil turn the millstone; when the payment is made, everything is negotiable.

Brother Hui paid the money and made a threat.

Brother Hui naturally looks fierce, like someone who, even if he does nothing but gives you a glance, you’d feel he’s about to come and end you.

So when he appears more intimidating, it’s indeed quite scary.

The doctor and the nurse guaranteed repeatedly they absolutely wouldn’t go out and say a word.

Only then was Brother Hui satisfied and let them leave.

Better to be doubly sure!

-

District two and district one are in the same place, separated by a huge white isolation wall.

The isolation wall is very obvious and can be seen from anywhere in district two.

Getting into district one is much more difficult than into district two.

Chuzheng and Brother Hui were walking on a corridor bridge, with people talking about what to eat, what to buy, or what’s fun nearby.

And on the other side of the corridor bridge hung a huge banner.

There was a beautifully refined girl on it, wearing a crown, and a dazzling gown, making her stand out even more.

The banner had bold and large letters marked as advertisements.

Starlight Performance, Qing Dai welcomes you.

Performance Location: Swan Square, District Two.

District two is different from district three; here, there is an artificial sun, and life isn’t much different from life on the ground.

Resources are scarce, but as long as you have money, you can buy pretty much anything.

Once fed and watered, there’s a lot more entertainment in district two.

Television shows don’t exist, but performances and shows do.

And now the girl on this poster is a hot ’star’ recently.

Brother Hui stared at the girl for a while and suddenly said to Chuzheng, "Miss Chuzheng, why do I feel that person... looks a bit like you?"

Looks more and more alike!!

"My sister, of course, she looks alike." Dear sister.

Strictly speaking, this fifth sister should be the most similar to the original, whether in appearance or stature. From a distance, it’s easy to mistake them.

"??"

Brother Hui’s mouth hung open widely enough to fit a duck egg inside.

Was he mishearing, or was Miss Chuzheng joking?

Chuzheng had a serious expression, clearly not joking.

Chuzheng stared at the banner for a few seconds, pondering: "Go and ask if there are any tickets left."

Brother Hui: "You want to go?"

With a serious face, Chuzheng replied, "Supporting her is what I should do."

How else could I be... a good person?

-

Concert tickets were hard to come by, and Chuzheng had to spend quite a bit of silver coin to get two.

Primarily because Chuzheng’s identification was fake, buying tickets was somewhat troublesome. If her ID were usable, it wouldn’t be this complicated.

The performance was in the evening, and Swan Square was decorated like a galaxy, with the air filled with floating starlight, rising and falling.

Walking inside, it felt like wandering in a sea of stars.

Chuzheng stared at the glowing floating objects in the air, squinting slightly.

Brother Hui curiously attempted to touch them. Chuzheng coldly warned, "If you don’t want to die, don’t touch."

Brother Hui hesitated, quickly retracting his hand: "What... what is this?"

Can it kill?

This isn’t a performance?

In her mind, Chuzheng searched for a simple term: "Parasite."

Brother Hui: "???"

Para... parasites?

Brother Hui retreated far from those things in terror.

"They won’t do anything for now." Chuzheng drawled, "No need to be so tense."

Brother Hui swallowed, feeling anxious nonetheless.

"Why... is there such a thing here?"

"You should ask the person holding the concert."
