Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

In the cold and gray dormitory of six people, in the small space, the man was wearing a shabby cloth jacket and lying quietly on his narrow little bed.

Due to his height, Link couldn't even stretch out on this bed. But despite the unbearable discomfort that spread all over his body, Link still endured it.

Two days have passed since Link arrived in Merlo Petersburg. In these two days, Link almost understood the operating rules of the entire Merlot Petersburg.

Merlot Petersburg is a huge prison built underwater. Although it is located in Fontaine, it is not under the control of the "Water God", but is directly subordinate to Duke Leosley.

Merlo Petersburg and the Shadow Chasing Court have a cooperative relationship. Merlo Petersburg helps the Shadow Chasing Court to "discipline" criminals who have committed criminal acts. However, it is also a huge machinery factory. Merlo Petersburg uses the labor of criminals to produce products. They built various machines and exchanged them with people at sea for the supplies they needed.

There is also a free trade system in Merlo Petersburg, but the currency in circulation has been changed from Mora to something called "franchise".

And the Merlo-Petersburg franchise is almost omnipotent here. Reduced punishment, no labor, delicious food, warm clothes...

There are many ways to obtain concessions, but the most common one is to receive various labor tasks from jailers.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The sound of batons hitting the railings echoed through the thick pipes, signaling the beginning of the day.

After stretching his body and limbs, Link tiredly climbed up from the iron bed. After sleeping on soft cushions, he suddenly changed to wooden boards. His body had not yet completely gotten used to it.

After brushing his teeth, washing up, and arranging his clothes, Link was preparing to go to the work area to pick up some work tasks.

"Hey, the new ones!"

The tall inmate was naked from the waist up, and his ugly skin looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, and an unpleasant stench filled the air.

Link glanced at the man in front of him and shifted his gaze to the hand he held out.

It was a calloused hand, like a cattail leaf fan.

While Link was silent, a thin roommate beside him had respectfully taken out a concession coupon with a face value of 100 and handed it to the burly man.

A satisfied smile appeared on his ugly face, and the man nodded, then turned his eyes dissatisfied to Link, who was motionless next to him.

"Hey! Why are you so dazed? I don't care what kind of monster you are at sea! But now that you have come to Merlot Petersburg, everything is equal! Just obey the rules here!"

"Ahem, little brother, just hand over the concession coupons! Brother Carlo protects us from being bullied by people in other districts. Brother Carlo deserves these concessions!" The inmate next to him saw Link. The second-in-command looked stupid, fearing that he would implicate himself, so he quickly and anxiously tried to persuade Link.

Link smiled indifferently and turned his gaze to the tall and burly man in front of him.

"You just said that no matter what status you have at sea, everyone here is equal, right?"

"Yup!"

Link smiled, "Then I dare to ask this big brother, what crime did you commit to end up like this?"

"Haha, your uncle, I robbed the Bank of Northland! If I hadn't been beaten up by that gang of fools! Tsk tsk..." Carlo looked at Link, who was a head shorter than him, with disdain.

"Newcomer, what crime have you committed?"

"kill."

"Kill..." Carlo's expression froze, and his words got stuck in his throat midway through.

A bit of cold sweat broke out on Carlo's forehead, "What's wrong with killing people? It's not like I, Carlo, didn't kill..."

Before Carlo finished speaking, a white and strong hand caught his neck and lifted him up in the air.

"Since I have killed people, I must be prepared to be killed." Link looked indifferent, quietly watching the tall and arrogant man struggling for his life like a little white rabbit...

Carlo's face gradually turned red and blue, his facial muscles bulged due to congestion, his lips trembled slightly, and his narrow eyes revealed deep fear.

His vision gradually blurred, and his body seemed to be torn apart. The pain was so painful that he was almost numb. Carlo felt death approaching him step by step. The feeling of powerlessness made people extremely desperate...

Link let go.

The burly man collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. He raised his head and looked at Link, his eyes full of hatred, anger, but more of horror.

Link smiled, leaned down, and extended a hand as the man had done before.

Panicking, Carlo took out a handful of concession coupons from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then handed them to Link tremblingly.

After taking the concession, Link counted it casually and put it into his pocket.

With a soft breath, Link continued walking towards the work area.

As the general person in charge of the Zhidong Embassy, ​​Link is a very good management talent.

But what ordinary people don't know is that Link is better at training dogs than managing people.

Link felt an angry gaze staring at his back. He knew that due to his "soft-heartedness", he would face the burly man's revenge before long.

And this revenge will most likely come from his superiors.

Taking the elevator to the work area, Link first accepted a task of making parts from the guard on duty, and then came to the machine for making parts.

The parts are forged by machines, and all Link needs to do is operate the machine. Although it sounds lofty, it actually means pressing the forging button when the machine lights up green. If the machine lights up red, it means that the machine is malfunctioning and requires manual adjustment.

It is said that these machines are also strange. They will break down every two or three forgings, but they have not been scrapped after being used for so long.

Link numbly arranged the machines, acting as a front-line worker. He couldn't help but miss the days of Solstice. In Solstice, as long as he did not commit an unforgivable felony such as treason, even if he was caught in prison, he could be released from prison by paying a certain bail.

The best thing about Link is money.

I don’t know how long this hard life will last.

"Deng Deng~"

The girl's inorganic voice suddenly sounded behind him, and a helpless smile appeared on Link's face.

"Miss Linnette, good morning." Link turned his head and nodded politely to the girl with cat ears and tail behind him.

Linnet, the second of Arlecino's three "children", is the assistant and sister of the great magician Linny, and the sister of the master diver Fimini.

Unlike her older brother and younger brother, Linnette has extremely rare "cat" signs on her body. In the transactions between nobles, this kind of half-orc-like girl is called a rare commodity and is an extremely rare slave.

The market price is between 1000w and 3000w (mola) according to the standard of appearance and figure.

One of Link's cousins ​​was so passionate about it that he even built a farm for the hobby. However, the farm does not raise people, but various "human beings" with animal characteristics.
