Chapter 1088: Chapter 13 Savior Company_4
Does this have any special aning?
“Why did you steal this tal Naplate?”
Lin Xian hovered in the dark:
“This thing is pretty thin, I reckon there’s no tech involved, just a regular naplate. Why do you need this thing? And you even took such a big risk.”
“Hehe~”
Xu Yiyi laughed proudly:
“You’re unaware, Lin Xian, this is a real treasure! With this tal Naplate as proof, we can join The Godfather’s grand plan and work for him!”
“Oh?”
Lin Xian was sowhat surprised:
“So, this tal Naplate acts like a sort of ordeal, a proof of strength and loyalty, sothing like that?”
“Exactly.”
Xu Yiyi nodded:
“To join The Godfather’s plan, you must be endorsed by a gang; and to join a gang, you must obtain a chanical Android’s tal Naplate as proof of yourself.”
“That’s the rule of the underworld, it has always been like that. By any ans necessary, as long as you can get the tal Naplate, it ans your strength and stance are unquestionable, and any gang can accept you.”
“After joining a gang, you can naturally be recomnded to The Godfather’s plan… We’re really lucky. Tonight, The Godfather’s plan will unfold, and it’s good that we both managed to get two tal Naplates!”
“Interesting.”
Lin Xian chuckled.
Indeed, where there are people, there are societies, and where there are societies, there are norms.
Even in such an abstract and otherworldly future, humans still co together based on different ideologies and objectives, this probably… is also a unique charm of human society.
So far…
Lin Xian has grown increasingly interested in the unknown Godfather, eager to et him in person.
However, according to the process, it must be done step by step.
Fortunately, he recognized the big sister.
Now he has soone reliable, soone covering for him.
As Xu Yiyi’s first and only little brother, she will definitely sort out everything for his future.
“We’re here, Lin Xian, just climb up here.”
This passage led to the end.
Ahead was a huge pipe outlet, the sewage booming out like a waterfall, but there was an iron fence blocking it, so they couldn’t exit that way; instead, they needed to climb up the adjacent ladder.
Finally…
They could leave the sewer and see the daylight again.
Xu Yiyi jumped up first and started climbing, followed by Lin Xian.
Thump!
A dull sound, Xu Yiyi skillfully executed an inversion and kicked open the manhole cover above, bright sunlight pouring in and Lin Xian couldn’t help but squint.
Having adapted to the darkness for so long, suddenly it was so bright; he truly couldn’t keep his eyes open.
Xu Yiyi climbed out first.
Lin Xian also followed and climbed out.
Standing up.
Looking down at the chaotic village below—
Countless shacks and shanties scattered across the bare land;
Colorful and disorganized buildings, crowded roads, and bustling people;
Households with ssy clothes hanging outside, everything damp, won casually throwing dirty water from their bowls while washing clothes, dishes, and vegetables;
Children in the village chasing each other, tripping and tumbling;
Shirtless n swaggering, laughing heartily, shouting loud.
This is…
Lin Xian blinked.
This is a world completely different from Donghai City!
He turned back to look at the City of Silence that he and Xu Yiyi had just escaped from, beyond the boundary walls, one could see the clean and tidy buildings, spotless glass, spreading quiet across the city.
However, looking down again.
At the noisy, lively, life-filled, bustling, and chaotic village below.
“Hahaha! How about it? Isn’t it completely different from the atmosphere of Donghai City?”
“This is the true world that belongs to us, where humans can live freely!”
Xu Yiyi felt very proud and had a strong sense of belonging:
“Here, you don’t need to think about anything, worry about nothing, fear nothing; you can do anything you want, say whatever you want, beco whoever you want to be!”
She stretched her arms toward the chaotic village below, taking a deep breath of the free and exhilarating air:
“[Lin Xian, welco to… the City of Sin!]”
At that mont.
Lin Xian recalled that it was too dark below earlier, and he hadn’t seen clear the logo of Savior Company on the tal Naplate.
So he pulled out the tal Naplate from his pocket and pinched it before his eyes.
On the right, indeed, was a sequence of English letters and numbers.
And the logo on the left…
Turned out to be a colorful painting.
A dieval dressed man, holding a crystal ball in his left hand, his right arm halfway raised, his right hand in a blessing gesture, his eyes radiating the sparkle of wisdom
Using an artwork as a company logo is indeed rare.
But.
Lin Xian, who studied art, recognized the famous painting right away:
This painting was created in the year A.D. 1500;
It is the most expensive artwork ever auctioned in human history, with a transaction price of 450 million US dollars;It is the only painting by that legendary artist that has entered the auction market;
Indeed.
The na of this oil painting is called “Savior”.
And the na of its artist is hard-hitting throughout history—
Leonardo da Vinci!
