As members of Silence who had dealt with the owner of the Rubik's Cube spacecraft, Luo Binhan and Momoluo participated in the final farewell to Wan Bozi and the others. Despite both of their worries, the trip was actually quite smooth. On the way, Luo Binhan was still interested in asking about Wan Bozi's hairpins - he watched with his own eyes as Wan Bozi picked them off one by one on the Silence, gestured to the set containers, and then her room full of The objects quickly disappeared. It was as if some kind of creature that Luo Binhan couldn't see was responsible for transporting them. They floated upward slightly at first, and then became illusory and transparent.
It looked very much like a spell, but when Luo Binhan asked about it, Wan Bozi just held the hairpin and said, "Oh, they are my fixed equipment memories, that's what they should be called."
"So you put all those things in your hairpins?"
"Put it in? No, no, no, that's a space folder or compressor. I just need to bring a few sets of fixed tools, so I don't need anything that consumes so much energy."
Wan Bozi began to explain to him the difference between the two. Luo Binhan failed to understand the whole content, partly because there were many nouns that were completely unfamiliar to him, and partly because Wan Bozi would come up with some weird grammar whenever he was excited. Both of these things made him confused, but he still found an explanation for himself: it sounded like Wanbozi's hairpin was like a mixture of some kind of three-dimensional printer and a shredder, which could put some fixed things in different places. It is broken down into particles at the necessary moment, and then reconstituted from the same material at some necessary moment.
Luo Binhan began to feel slightly fascinated by this "gadget" as Wan Bozi called it. He has not forgotten the space storage device that Popa gave him in the past (it is still lying in the drawer in his room), but since Assabam opened a hole in his stomach, he has difficulty in controlling such things. There has been some doubt about the reliability and versatility of the supplies. Maybe it's not a smart idea to put all the weapons in one basket, but it would be a big difference if he could carry a tank or even a spaceship around.
"That's impossible." Wan Bozi immediately objected after hearing his idea. "It can only record simple structures. The material must be single and pure, and it's best to be something easy to obtain in case you lose it. Raw materials. And once you decide on its reduction and deconstruction, it’s not that easy to make modifications. You have to be proficient in engineering in this area, and I can’t help you with that.”
"Aren't there any more advanced models?" Luo Binhan asked reluctantly.
"That's very expensive." Wan Bozi said bluntly. "For more complex things, using space storage is much more cost-effective and saves a lot of trouble. You don't have to clean them every time you collect them. , and it has to be crammed into a limited space.”
So far, Luo Binhan has not experienced financial difficulties, but Wan Bozi's last warning is indeed effective for him, and it is difficult for him to find a seller nearby. In the end, Luo Binhan had to give up and prepare to think about these trivial matters after finding Upsilon - maybe Upsilon, who modified his own spaceship, understands this?
They then talked about something else. Although Luo Binhan never felt any strong like or dislike for the alchemist, he still had some interest in her hometown and dress. During the conversation, she mentioned Yunzhong City and the sea of ether clouds located in the Aoqiong Realm, where they maintained some of the customs and manners of the ancient times, and regarded the calmness of maintaining this style as an essential quality for alchemists. part. However, Wan Bozi also emphasized that even the most old-fashioned alchemists cannot ignore the changes in the outside world. They have in fact assimilated the new theories published publicly by the Absorbing Alliance to ensure that their ancient techniques will still work without the special effects of the Aether Cloud Sea.
"There are many alchemy techniques that rely on the special characteristics of Yunzhong City itself." She explained to Luo Binhan, "Once I leave there, I have to use simpler and more complex methods to solve the problem."
"Then why did you leave?" Luo Binhan asked habitually.
"It was to expand my craft and...well, I got into a little trouble."
Wan Bozi wavered for a few seconds, and finally touched Popa's head. From her expression, Luo Binhan sensed some past frustration, but Wan Bozi didn't say what it was.
"It's not about what happened in the past." She seemed to be saying to herself, "What really matters is the present. I'm glad that I chose a wider place, and Padama... If I didn't come out, I would never have known him and Poppa. It must have been worth it, right?"
Poppa and Momolo nodded affirmatively, Joel Farman raised his hand to indicate that he was still there, while Luo Binhan peeked at her without saying a word. He saw a little sadness on the alchemist's face.
"It's still hard for me to believe that Padma is no longer here," the alchemist said. "Padama has been facing some kind of mental torture for a long time. He is very sensitive to outsiders and can't even talk to strangers, but he is always afraid. Alone. Sometimes, I think he's a little overly protective, but he's certainly a very nice guy. Cares about his friends and generally protects himself well - but the Witch-King on the run? Voidstorm? How could he get involved in something like this? ? I should really spend more time with him. If I hadn't left, maybe he wouldn't have met that damn Witch King."
Luo Binhan didn't know how to comfort her. He imagined that he had taken a long nap, and when he woke up, he found that he was thousands of miles away from his hometown, and the person he trusted most was dead. The initial candidate for this role was Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu seemed too far away, so he imagined that he was told that Jing Huang had disappeared from the world.
"Mr. Luo," Momolo asked, "why are you pulling your hair?"
Luo Binhan quickly put down his hand and said, "My hands are itchy. I have a headache."
They successfully sent Wan Bozi and the others to the location where they saw the Rubik's Cube spaceship. Happily, the spacecraft did not leave, and the owner was still willing to negotiate with them. After learning of Wan Bozi's request, an independent small aircraft was dispatched from the Rubik's Cube to receive Wan Bozi and the others. About ten minutes passed after that, and the image of the big-headed penguin appeared above the Rubik's Cube spacecraft again. It solemnly thanked them for their escort and stated that it would safely escort the three new passengers back to Central City as soon as possible.
Luo Binhan wanted to ask it what to do with Freeze or Upsilon, but he didn't say anything in the end. Of course Upsilon would be found by them. As for Zhou Wenxing, Luo Binhan had a vague but firm idea at this time. He couldn't say that it was a premonition or intuition. He just vaguely thought that if Zhou Wenxing knew him and Lihai City so well, the two of them would have to meet again sooner or later.
With this idea in mind, he returned to the Silence with Momolo, and then set off without stopping. The official departure seemed calm compared to all the previous preparations. Silence quietly rose into the sky, flew towards the empty and brilliant sea of stars, and finally disappeared at the tunnel point. Unlike all previous journeys, Luo Binhan could always see Jing Huang in the bridge room for the next period of time. The latter seemed to be doing nothing special, just sitting there in a daze, simply and uninterestingly.
At first, Luo Binhan was a little happy about this change, but he found that a humanoid ornament that was always expressionless might not be as pleasant as he thought. After about five hundred hours he finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He poked Jing Huang on the shoulder and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Sit down," Jing Huang said.
"Then you go back to the house and sit down."
"...It looks more convenient here. If something happens, it can be dealt with quickly."
Luo Binhan didn't know what kind of thing Jing Huang was going to deal with, and he didn't detect any signs of danger. He almost suspected that Jing Huang was suffering from a manic episode - until six hundred hours later, he saw with his own eyes that Jing Huang's seven orifices were bleeding, his entire head detached from his body, and rolled to the ground.
