Chapter 610 Visiting the slums
Xu Xingchen chatted with the ship girls for a while and rested for a few hours separately. When he woke up again, it was already a new festival (day).
Xu Xingchen once again brought the two guardians of Black Fish and Chaoge, and added Shanghai Wang Xing, the little tail that collected information, to try to start a new social research.
Go to the area mentioned earlier about the dark side of society, similar to the common slums on the earth's cities.
Of course, Xu Xingchen has his own ground transportation. After changing the appearance of the local vehicle, installing the college’s local license plate, he can drive directly in the city.
Neptune has collected and obtained local maps. In conjunction with the accurate detailed landforms obtained by spacecraft satellites, the information is integrated to form a more accurate map.
The largest slum in Rodel City is in the southeast corner of the city, on a hillside near the coastline, with a large number of brick and tile houses aligned together.
Not far away is a luxurious villa area, because the scenery here is really good, but to avoid interference, the villa area and the slums are slightly distanced.
There is a high wall between the slum and the villa area, and the opposite situation cannot be seen on the ground.
But there are houses on the mountainside in the slums and tall buildings in the villa area. These houses on the high places look forward to the blue sea and blue sky, and the world on the side is the other side of the wall.
The roads between the slums and villa areas are connected, and there are several specially opened doors on the high walls.
However, the gate is usually closed, and there is a special security bureau at the door, and there are security guards on duty all year round.
Xu Xingchen and the Ship Girls are students of the Mage Academy. The Mage Academy is of course located on one side of the villa area, so they have to drive through the villa area.
When Xu Xingchen arrived at the gate of the high wall of the isolation wall, two tall and tall female guards came over immediately and stopped the latest luxury car.
Due to the model and license plate, the security guard looked very polite. After Chaoge, who was driving, pressed the window glass, he reminded him with a kind look:
"My wizards of the academy, the people living on the other side of the wall are all low-level poor people. The security conditions in those neighborhoods are very poor. If you are out for a trip, I don't recommend you to go there."
Chaoge took out a piece of paper directly, which was a special pass, allowing the holder to go anywhere, and no guards could stop him.
The seal of the Rodel Mage Academy is stamped below, and the name of the principal and the master of the teaching department is signed.
"This is a pass signed by the principal. We are going to go to the slums to investigate and study the living conditions of low-level residents, so please let us go."
The guard was stunned when he looked at the pass and listened to Chaoge's words.
The Mage Alliance is a scholar-official alliance, and the college is also a political institution. The principal and the director of the teaching are actually the highest officials in the local area, and the highest officials in the highly autonomous region.
The documents they signed are absolutely law here.
The key is that the scope of the permit for this passage is too large, even the principal's own children cannot get such documents.
It should be something that only people of the same level as the principal and the director can get, but these girls are still so young...
So, are these students the children of other large mage deans?
But no matter what, I must not provoke you.
So in shock, she nodded very mechanically and squeezed out a very stiff smile:
"Sorry, sorry, please wait for a moment. I will open the floodgates now. Please be sure to pay attention to safety. If you encounter any problems, please call the security department as soon as possible!"
The mechanical gate slowly opened, Chaoge took back the pass and drove through the door opening.
The guard behind looked at the luxury car leaving, stunned for a while before he recovered from calmness, and then couldn't help but talk to himself with some worries:
"A aunt of this level actually went to the slums to investigate the lives of low-level residents. This is really outrageous...
"The key is that if you encounter any danger, will I also have to take responsibility...
"No, I have to report to the principal so that the principal knows where they are going, and make preparations in advance. If something really happens to the next step, you can be less involved."
Xu Xingchen did not care about these defense mentalities, and his attention had completely shifted to the front.
After passing through the high walls before the villa area and the slums, the surrounding scenery immediately changed.
The villa has a very clean and elegant modern green environment, with landscape trees, lawns, flower beds, fountains, rockery and other arrangements arranged in an orderly manner.
The roads are very flat, and there is basically no garbage on the street. Occasionally, you can see sanitation and sprinkler trucks passing by.
On this side of the wall, there are only messy weeds, shrubs, and garbage piles. Occasionally, rotten corpses can be seen, and flies and worms are hovering and flying on them.
The roads quickly became uneven. Chaoge directly made the luxury car retract as a whole, improved the territory, changed the appearance, and directly changed from a sports car to an off-road vehicle.
Xu Xingchen soon saw the people here, children playing on the roadside.
Most of them are thin, their faces and skin look a little malnourished. Most of them are boys, but there are many girls.
These children immediately hid far away when they looked at the luxury cars that appeared on the road, instead of curiously stopping by the road to watch the fun.
Xu Xingchen was curious about why they were like this, so Neptune took the initiative to explain:
"The documents of the school's social management agency recorded many vehicles entering the slums and blowing away the surrounding people and following people.
"They are basically senior mages. I think the children here are dirty and nauseous, so I throw them out with energy.
"The upper class of this world is basically proportional to physical strength and spell talent.
"At the same time, the habit of women not marrying outside leads to a very stable family structure.
“The result is that social classes are highly solidified.
"Approximate to the Middle Ages."
Xu Xingchen listened to Neptune's explanation, looked at the children who were avoiding in the distance, and breathed softly:
"It turns out that they have had relatively painful memories, but what did those mages come here for? They really just blow these children away, not in a more serious situation? How did the college deal with these things?"
Neptune directly answered:
"The purpose of coming is the same as ours, and we are also doing research, but the content of the research is completely different. Many people are doing human experiments here, as well as organ trading, experiments and transaction objects are voluntary, at least in name, voluntary...
"Most of them are really just blowing away, which is even the habit of many mages. Not many people are unable to control their strength, and there are many records of people who have fallen to death.
"As for punishment, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. Usually, it is believed that these children are so close to the vehicle, and seeing that the vehicle does not immediately avoid it is also a mistake...
"More importantly, according to my analysis, the recorded samples should only account for a very small part of what actually happened, and slums will hardly sue for lawsuits."
Xu Xingchen sighed again, without saying much nonsense.
Over the past three hundred years, Xu Xingchen has lived on the earth for a long time and has seen all kinds of human tragedies, and has become a little numb to such things.
There may be aid, but not now.
The car ran on the dilapidated asphalt road for three minutes and finally entered a residential area made of low brick houses and shanty towns.
What made Xu Xingchen feel helpless was that as soon as the vehicle approached, the originally pedestrians on the street quickly disappeared, and the doors and windows on the street were quickly closed.
The residents here seem to have heartfelt fear of those who are driving a luxury car from the other side.
Xu Xingchen asked someone to park his car next to the street, took three ship girls out of the car, walked to the front of a three-story building on the street, and observed the surrounding environment.
Neptune approached Xu Xingchen and asked in a low voice:
"Commander, have you found it?"
Xu Xingchen nodded slightly:
"Someone is going to smash us on the roof of this house. It seems that the image of the people on the other side of the wall is really bad..."
As soon as Xu Xingchen finished speaking, several stones as big as watermelon fell from the roof.
Xu Xingchen sighed softly, and at a speed that was so fast that he had produced afterimages, he caught all the stones one by one, threw them into the garbage dump on the street, and then shouted directly to the above:
"You guys come out. I have no ill intentions. I am here to do business. Let the manager come to see me immediately. Otherwise... you know what the consequences will be..."
