Doomsday Code

Chapter 259 The Problem of Stowaways

The killer snorted coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave Huidun City.

Because his assassination attempt failed this time, the target must have been wary of him, and the target was too strange, so even his Netherworld Magic Needle had no effect on him.

He needed to report to his employer and collect the rest of his salary.

Because his employer in this business never said that he must kill the target.

However, after he had walked a few blocks, he was stopped by the patrol guards who had noticed his suspicious behavior.

"Show us the road signs, please."

The road sign in the patrol soldier's mouth is somewhat like the ancient road pass, but this thing is different from the road pass. It does not restrict the traveler's destination. It is almost a universal pass, and the application procedure is also very simple.

Seeing this, the killer smiled ingratiatingly and took out his road sign for them to check.

The patrol captain looked at the road sign and then sneered:

"This... Mocha, right? Mr. Mocha, this road sign of yours is issued by the Kingdom of Ferdow, and there is no seal of the Kingdom of Kermo on it. It is an invalid road sign in the Kingdom of Kermo.

Therefore, I, Feynman, the captain of the second team of the Huidun City Patrol Guard, arrest you for illegal immigration."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mocha, you're under arrest."

Mocha was completely overwhelmed. Is there such a crime as smuggling in this world? How come Mocha didn't know about it?

However, whether he knew it or not, he had been chained by Feynman.

Looking at the gazes cast by passers-by on the street, Mocha suppressed his urge to escape.

As a killer, he absolutely cannot expose his strength in public. At worst, Mocha will spend some money to redeem himself later.

Speaking of money, Mocha couldn't help but think of the vouchers used here. For a killer like him who lives on the edge of a knife, the thing that bothers him the most is the settlement of commissions.

Oftentimes, the person they kill is in a high position of power, so the commission is easily tens of thousands of gold coins. However, when it comes time to pay, they can only leave with tens of thousands of gold coins on their backs, which is very conspicuous.

This voucher is great. Tens of thousands of gold coins can be exchanged for a few pieces of light paper, which you can just put in your pocket and carry around.

Chen Cheng would never have imagined that the guy who assassinated him would be arrested for illegal immigration.

After the person was taken to the detention room in the city, the smuggling case here soon came to Tophis's desk.

Today, thanks to Chen Cheng's brilliant ideas, Huidun City has entered a stage of rapid development.

However, along with the rapid development comes the problem of social security which is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

When he heard that another person was arrested for illegal immigration, he scratched his head, wondering if these guys valued money over their lives.

Many of these people were arrested because they had heard about Huidun City's current prosperous business and wanted to come here to work hard and find opportunities to get rich overnight, but they were reluctant to pay the entry visa fees.

So these people just secretly came here as runners.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that in this world, anyone who has a chance to survive will not think of leaving his hometown, let alone these guys who are already multinational.

They wanted to come to Huidun City just for their daydream of getting rich overnight, so how could they have the money to pay the transit fee?

But they don’t know that this so-called getting rich overnight is only possible for those real big businessmen who have sufficient capital.

Therefore, the arrival of these illegal immigrants has indeed increased the difficulty of Huidun’s recent public security. The only solution now is to digest them and transform them from people who destroy social stability to people who build society.

These theories were learned by Tofis from the modern expressions that Chen Cheng occasionally used at that time.

"Bring out those stowaways we caught. I'll go check on them later."

Tophis instructed his assistant.

Then he laid down his hands again on the documents on his desk.

After finishing the matters at hand, Tophis came to the interrogation room with his big belly swaying.

At this time, dozens of illegal immigrants, including Mocha, were detained here.

When these ragged stowaways saw Archon Tophis, fear appeared in their eyes.

There is no such thing as public servants in this world. In their eyes, these officials are all people like Mr. Huang.

But Tophis was ostracized in those days and had always been a minor official, partly because he did not want to be involved in the corrupt crowd.

When Tophis looked at these ragged stowaways, he sighed heavily and then instructed the people around him:

"Take them down to give them a bath, get them some cotton clothes, and have a meal before bringing them back."

After receiving the order, he quickly asked someone to take them downstairs to wash.

When the illegal immigrants saw this, they knelt on the ground and shouted any words of praise they could think of.

"Let's go, let's go. You are lucky to have met such a good Archon."

The jailer who took them downstairs to wash couldn't help but sigh at these illegal immigrants.

Mocha, who was mixed in the crowd, felt numb all over. He thought that they were being interrogated, and it wouldn't be long before the black-hearted official would order people to take them all out of the city and deal with them.

This way, Mocha can save the bribe and just pretend to be dead and run away after leaving the city.

And now it seems that this TM is a good official. How can Mocha escape without exposing his own strength?

Mocha was absentmindedly picking at the food in front of him, and the jailer who brought them here saw his absent-minded look and patted his shoulder and said:

"Brother, I also know that you are able to leave your hometown and travel through mountains and rivers to come here, and you must be unable to survive in your hometown.

Don't worry, our Master Tophis is a good man. He might be kind enough to arrange a job for you here."

The other stowaways were all excited after hearing this, and their hands and mouths moved faster, waiting to see Tophis later.

Seeing this, Mocha could only quickly eat the food in the bowl.

When they saw Tophis again, they had all changed into new clothes, and their previously messy and smelly bodies were now dry and clean.

When Tophis saw this, he nodded and said with a smile:

"I know that you all come to Huidun City to find a solid job. You couldn't find a job before because of the road sign issue, but now I can solve this part of the problem for you and arrange a job for you here.

However, the jobs that can be arranged may be more difficult than those you find on your own, and they involve heavy physical labor. I don’t know if you can accept them.

Of course, if you don’t want to make any arrangements and want to go home, I can also arrange for your country’s caravan to take you back with you.”

However, the purpose of these people coming to Huidun City is to find an opportunity to get rich overnight. Although they have not seen it yet, they also understand the wages of the workers here, which are much higher than what they have encountered before.

So soon these people all raised their hands and shouted that they were willing.

In order not to attract attention, poor Mocha could only raise his hand to show his willingness.
