Let me see the chairman! Get out of the way, I am the former fire bearer, you can't do this to me!
In front of the heavily guarded energy tower, a man in shabby clothes and unkempt hair was struggling with the police officers.
Guards with cold and mechanical expressions, who looked as cold as steel, stood side by side in front of the entrance of the energy tower, blocking Meng Yiran who wanted to break in to meet the chairman.
Sneered, Ha, Meng Yiran, thirteen years, eight months and twelve days ago, when you withdrew from the fire-passing team without authorization, causing the fire-passing ceremony to almost fail, you had nothing to do with the glory of the fire-passer. Now you are nothing.
A police officer responsible for managing the guards slowly walked out of the dark passage of the energy tower. He also maintained an indifferent and calm expression. Even his words were deliberately smooth and mechanical, just like his flesh and blood. Hidden inside the body is a robot-like personality.
What do you know! Meng Yiran suddenly became furious, his eyes widened and his face flushed, and he shouted loudly: Even if I lose the glory of the Fire Carrier, I am still the most advanced engineer in the Night City. Get out of my way! If you don't get out of the way
Uh-huh!
He wanted to take action, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, the guards all pointed their guns at him.
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Meng Yiran was immediately frightened and hurriedly raised his hands to show that he was not hostile or threatening, and then retreated continuously. Unexpectedly, he missed his foot while retreating, and he rolled backwards down the long steps while screaming. Go down.
Chairman, we have signed a free fire order. We can use weapons unconditionally and without reason under any circumstances to eliminate all threats we consider.
The Sheriff standing behind the guard said. He stood on a high place and looked down at Meng Yiran who rolled down the steps.
Meng Yiran opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the frightening muzzle of the gun, he swallowed a lot of harsh words again.
He knew very well that if he dared to yell again, these eagle dogs would definitely shoot him to death.
He was afraid of death, he didn't want to die, so he retreated.
Yes, he is such a coward.
If he hadn't been cowardly and afraid of death, he wouldn't have escaped from the fire-passing team midway, which would have led to the entire fire-passing ceremony almost failing.
However, he still has the arrogance and stubbornness of a top engineer in his heart. Even if he is deprived of his identity as a fire bearer, even if he is deprived of his wealth and family property, and is reduced to the same predicament as the lower class, he still looks down on those who work for more than ten years all day long. For hours, workers just make a living.
In Meng Yiran's eyes, as an engineer, even if he was deprived of status privileges, wealth and glory, he was still an engineer at heart, an engineer who mastered technology and knowledge, and was still a top-level engineer among his peers. Those who only He knows that the big boss who sells his strength is definitely not as good as him.
This is also the underlying reason why he would rather sell his knowledge and skills at a low price and maintain the factory's production line at a price as cheap as workers' hourly wages working in the factory, rather than work in the factory.
For more than ten years, although he has escaped from the circle of the upper class, he has always been paying attention to the news among the upper class.
This is not difficult, because in Night City, for engineers, being given the title of Firebringer is a great honor, and any engineer would not give up until everyone knows about it.
However, the irony is that since him, no engineer has ever been awarded the title of Firebringer.
As we all know, only the most skilled engineers can preside over the fire-passing ceremony. Whether the initial fire can be sustained depends on the skills of the engineer. Junqu Pavilion
The fire bearer who spread the fire for the third time was a liar who stole the engineer's technology. When the first fire was about to extinguish, this liar deceived him into taking the title of fire bearer. If he hadn't entered the energy tower with his team, he might have lost his life in twelve days. It's impossible to save Night City from the brink of destruction.
The fourth time, that is, the one he experienced, it was precisely because of his withdrawal that the fire-passing team, which was not high in quality compared to previous generations, fell into a long crisis, although Meng Yiran didn't know what happened inside.
, but in the end the fire-passing team continued the fire.
But this time there is no fire carrier. In more than ten years, not even a skilled engineer has appeared again. If the chairman wants to restart the energy tower, his punishment will inevitably be revoked.
This is also the source of his confidence that the chairman will invite him back this time to host the fire-passing ceremony again.
He originally thought that this fire-passing ceremony would be an opportunity for him to rise again, but what he didn't expect was that before he could see the chairman, he was stopped by a difficult kid.
Damn those vigilantes, hawks, and lackeys! You are pushing Night City to its death!
Meng Yiran walked dejectedly on the hard and smooth ground, silently cursing the unreasonable sheriffs and guards. At the same time, he imagined in his mind that he was pointing at their noses and yelling, but they were obedient and did not dare to answer... He could only dare to imagine this in his mind. If the police officer passing by on the street heard him scolding them, he would be the one who suffered in the end.
Perhaps he was so focused on cursing the peace officers in his heart that he didn't notice that the road was getting smoother and smoother due to the mix of ice and snow around him. The former senior engineer of the Fire Bearer suddenly felt his feet slipping and he lost his balance. The feeling of falling caused him to wake up from his meditation, and at the same time, his body fell backward uncontrollably.
However, just when Meng Yiran was about to fall, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist to stop him from falling backwards. At the same time, he also saw clearly who was holding him at the critical moment. who.
He is a man with a baby face, his face is clean and unremarkable, and he is wearing a thin black long windbreaker that is particularly eye-catching in a world full of snow. Just looking at this face, I am afraid he might be mistaken for a slightly younger child. possible.
Then, the baby-face smiled kindly.
Friend, what happened? I see that you are a little absent-minded, and you seem to be worried.
Uh! The other party's decent conversation made Meng Yiran stunned for two seconds, but he quickly reacted and used the other party's strength to regain his balance and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you. It's just that something happened a little bit just now, so I've been thinking about that just now." thing
You can't do this, my friend. Wu Ming slowly retracted his hand and warned: Now the temperature has dropped sharply and the roads are frozen. You must pay attention when traveling, otherwise the fall will be very painful.
Meng Yiran paused for a moment as he said this, seemingly hesitant, but finally made up his mind and asked: Well, which engineer's child are you?
After all, Wu Ming was not like those workers who had a sallow complexion and a face that was prematurely aged due to the weight of life, so he naturally regarded him as a child raised in a pampered family of engineers.
