After all, people cannot understand each other, and the same is true for Song Lan and "Nothingness".
Song Lan couldn't understand why "Nothing" was happy to be troubled by gangsters, just like "Nothing" couldn't understand that Song Lan finally came to the Seventh Neutral Kingdom, but after closing the shop and taking some time off, she leaned back on the lounge chair. It was as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Nothingness" coughed lightly and said, "The Seventh Neutral Country is what people from the coalition government call it, and their naming skills are simply a mess."
The Council first changed the names of the cities within the territory into numerical code names, and then used their catastrophic naming level on the allied countries through the Neutral Nations Covenant.
Forced by the coercive power of the coalition government, the allied countries could only swallow their anger and accepted the unified title of the Xth Neutral Country.
"Nothing" seriously suspects that the current ruler of the coalition government is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so that he can only remember numbers.
"The locals call this country an 'oasis'. After the end of the Third War, people lost in the desert established this country with hopes for a better future. They hoped that the oasis would be like a beacon in the desert. Those who came after showed the way.”
"Nothingness" paused and concluded, "And the city we are in is called Lute. According to legend, this was the name of a certain musical instrument before the third war. So don't you think it's strange to stop talking about a border city? Is it weird?"
"oh."
…
Song Lan successfully used one word to bring the atmosphere in the store to freezing point.
"Nothing" felt that he had been provoked. If he hadn't considered that he couldn't defeat Song Lan, he might have taken action.
He has never liked to be patient, and firmly believes that it is very impolite to respond to other people's efforts in popular science with "Oh".
Since closing the store, Song Lan has been holding her phone and sitting under the air conditioner, maintaining the same posture for almost two hours.
This feeling is like an old father welcoming a child he hasn't seen for a long time during the holidays, only to find that all he does is play video games every day.
"Lute is an optimistic and tolerant city. The people here are versatile and hospitable. When walking along the Qingquan Trail, you can often encounter bands performing impromptu performances."
"It's useless. I won't go out no matter what."
Song Lan's answer was longer this time, and she firmly stated her determination to stay in the store.
From the moment he met "Nothingness", the only good thing the latter did was to install air conditioning in the store. Now he has been sealed by the air conditioning and can no longer leave the room.
"Nothingness" has been advocating the advantages of Root, but it has always avoided talking about a fatal flaw.
The homepage of the mobile phone shows that the temperature outside the house is as high as 37.1 degrees, which is almost reaching the standard line of high temperature warning in the territory of the United Government.
At this moment, Song Lan missed the temperature control system of the coalition government. It was not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. The mild climate was very suitable for him to settle down.
"Why! Now is the perfect time to collect intelligence!"
"Because it's hot."
"What, are you afraid of the heat?"
"That's right."
Song Lan said in a matter-of-fact tone.
The provoking method is useless to him. "Not only is he afraid of heat, but he is also afraid of cold."
"Nothingness" couldn't believe his ears. Back then, this guy set a fire in the upper world, permanently causing sudden temperature changes in some areas, and it was still shrouded in magma, but he never mentioned it. I am afraid of heat.
"So, as long as the temperature problem is solved, you are willing to go out?"
"stay home."
"what happened again!"
"Afraid of being tired."
Get out of here!
…
A quarter of an hour later, "Nihility" sitting on the suspended car fell into deep thought.
After their verbal exchange, Song Lan made the maximum concession - he finally moved his position and sat on the hovercar. Before setting off, he made a three-point agreement with him that it was okay to ride on the hovercar, but never under the suspension car. Che, in order to ensure that "Nothingness" would not break the promise, he even signed a letter.
If "Nothingness" induces Song Lan to get out of the car in any way while he is out, he will have to pay the other party a huge compensation of 35 million watts.
Although he successfully persuaded Song Lan, "Nothingness" didn't feel the slightest joy of victory at this moment.
He was originally worried that Song Lan would be plotted by a local fraud gang, but he didn't expect that this guy himself was proficient in fraud.
Even after getting on the hover car, Song Lan's behavior did not change in any way.
Turn on the air conditioner and watch a movie with headphones on.
"How do you manage to watch movies at your age?"
"Nothingness" couldn't hold it back for a while and raised a soul question, but the punch was like hitting cotton. Song Lan ignored him and didn't even bother to raise his eyes.
"Don't forget, I didn't invite you to the oasis just to travel."
He has shown enough sincerity.
"Laoxu Sheng Jian" was something he requested from the Chamber of Commerce. In order to fit into the role of a store owner, he also carefully studied the cooking techniques of raw fried food and other snacks.
The Chamber of Commerce was established by his followers, and its business scope spans the "outside world". The oasis is one of their important trade areas, so he should be considered a businessman now.
The Chamber of Commerce has countless assets, and the hovercar they are riding at the moment is also printed with the Chamber of Commerce's logo.
If Song Lan is interested, he can take him to the Chamber of Commerce's exchange in Lute, and maybe he can meet some resistance cadres there.
The above are all the words prepared by "Nothingness". As long as Song Lan asks, he can tell the other party these things logically.
However, more than two hours had passed since the store closed, and Song Lan was so stunned that she didn't even ask a word.
"Nothingness" was furious.
You ask a question, do you have to let him put a yellow exclamation mark bigger than a house on his forehead?
Blanch!
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
After adjusting his mood, "Nothingness" stared at Song Lan with wide eyes, a conspicuous exclamation mark appearing above his head.
His followers probably never dreamed that he would use his supreme divine power to do such a thing.
The huge yellow exclamation mark finally caught Song Lan's attention. He raised his eyes and stared at "Nothingness" for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the yellow exclamation mark turned into a green √, and the "Completed" prompt was thoughtfully marked in parentheses next to it.
It makes me so angry!
"Nothingness" roared inside.
Why can this kid always overpower him in the use of psychic powers?
"One million watts."
"Void", who was defeated in the psychic competition, took off his disguise and revealed his true face, "If you ask me 'Why do we need to go to the Chamber of Commerce Exchange', I will transfer you 1 million watts."
"Why do we need to go to the Chamber of Commerce Exchange?"
Hearing this, Song Lan was completely different from before. He paused the movie, took off his headphones, and put his phone back into his pocket. His eyes became sharp, like a real detective.
"...Yes, it seems you have noticed it."
"Nothingness" took a deep breath and continued the topic with difficulty.
The people from the Chamber of Commerce did not lie to him. Scam gangs are indeed rampant in Oasis today. Their deception techniques are ever-changing. If you are not careful, you may lose both your life and money.
He just took a ride in a hover car and was defrauded of 1 million watts.
"The reason why the rebels gathered here."
Although Song Lan didn't notice anything, this did not prevent him from cooperating with "Nothingness". When the other party took out a note and photo from the inner pocket of his clothes, he immediately showed a solemn expression.
"The beacon is the source of their psychic energy."
………………………………
Meanwhile, Oasis Capital.
Eschenweg stands on a high tower with a panoramic view of the entire city.
Recently, his senses seemed to have become more and more acute. He could see almost every street in the city, and he could accurately identify those familiar figures.
The locals in the oasis are open to their arrival, at least they have not had any conflicts with local forces yet.
As for what the authorities think, that is not their concern.
He was focused and focused.
Gradually, he saw more.
Looking through the human body, one can see those flickering light spots.
Light spots exist in everyone's body, either bright or dark. He speculates that these light spots are the fire of spiritual power. As the light spots appear, a faint whisper echoes in his ears again. Yu gave him an early warning.
The beacons must be found, before they do.
Eschenweg didn't know who "they" referred to, and he was unable to communicate further with the whispers. To him, they sounded more like residual echoes, repeating the same words over and over again.
The whisper was calling them, just like when he was imprisoned in prison.
He had heard similar whispers before he was inspired.
It was ethereal, like a dream, and now Eschenweg realized that this dream was not his alone. Several other leaders of the resistance had heard the same whisper and gathered here at the call.
But until now, they have not figured out the true meaning of the beacon, and all their investigations have been unreliable conjectures. They have successively excluded the signal tower, post office and express company in the capital.
All investigations came to nothing, and the "rat" who came up with these speculations was punched in the back of the head by Ash, who couldn't bear it, because of his nonsense, and has now entered the stage of recuperation.
Not long after, Eschenweg noticed an even more dazzling light spot.
Compared with the pedestrians walking on the street, the light spot shines to the point of dazzling. It goes up the circular stairs of the tower until it reaches the top floor.
Then, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, along with the sound of out of breath.
"Ashe."
He called the other person's name.
Ai Xi stretched out his right hand to block between the two of them, and covered his waist with the other hand, buying himself a minute to breathe.
Eschenweg waited patiently, and after a while, Ashe eliminated another wrong answer for them.
"I took people to the airport, and the beacon wasn't there either."
The airport was the last "last words" left by the "rat" before he was hit hard on the back of the head. Because of his nonsense, this was the fourth time Ashe climbed to the top of the tower today.
She felt that someone between her boss and "Rat" must have a brain problem, or that there was something wrong with both of them.
Ash has no idea what her boss is doing at the top of the tower. The elevator in this shabby place has long since been scrapped due to disrepair. And she is a psychic who is not good at physical strength. The amount of exercise today is almost over. Her little life.
It's a pity that Eschenweger is her immediate boss, so she doesn't dare to hit her on the back of the head, so she can only use "rat" to vent her anger.
She wasn't kidding.
Many people in the army are already talking about the leader's change after coming to the oasis.
It is a fact that everyone knows that Eschenweg is addicted to alcohol. In the past, the leader's drinking problem caused them a lot of trouble.
At this time in the past, the leader had already gathered a few familiar resistance leaders and cadres and found a place to drink until he was unconscious.
But this time after arriving at the oasis, the leader didn't drink at all.
Not only that, he also became much more thoughtful. He would stand on the dome of the tower and get a bird's eye view of the entire city. This was obviously the favorite thing of those pretentious riddle people, and it didn't match the style of their leader at all.
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
"It's hard work."
Finally, Ai Xi gave up the polite words of "I'm fine" and said, "Boss, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Um?"
"Can you come down from the tower?"
The beacon involves the top secrets of the resistance. Even in the army, only she and "Rat", the two most trusted subordinates, know about this. "I really can't climb the stairs."
"Oh, sorry."
After Ai Xi interrupted her, the whisper that echoed in her ears disappeared again.
The light spot disappeared in front of Eschenweg's eyes, and his vision returned to what it was before.
………………………………
"People from the Chamber of Commerce have investigated and found that the rebels seem to be looking for the whereabouts of the beacon, but they don't seem to know what the beacon represents, so they have been unable to locate it."
"Nothingness" finally entered the state.
Now, he has become an NPC in the game who issues tasks.
"So, what exactly is a beacon?"
Song Lan cooperated to advance the task to the next step, and the first phase reward of this task line was as high as 1 million watts.
"are you serious?"
"Nothingness" was a little confused. He stared at Song Lan carefully for a moment, and found that he didn't seem to be playing dumb, and then said, "It is something that was once destroyed by you. It is used as a bridge between believers and the upper world."
It was Song Lan who ruined this family.
Houses were burned down, bridges were collapsed, and the church was completely wiped out from human society. Even the traces of its existence were wiped out.
"Someone rebuilt the bridge, which is why I asked you in District 4 - there must be someone else besides you and me who has survived, or at least their energy has continued."
"Nothingness" said, "The situation of this beacon is somewhat special. I cannot contact its source."
He first discovered the beacon's existence several years ago.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the "outside world" and has been constantly trying to make phone contact with the source of the beacon, but his attempts have never been successful.
"Either its hiding methods are so clever that even I can't figure it out, or its original consciousness has dissipated and only its energy has been retained."
The unconscious energy will continue its original actions until it disappears completely or falls into the hands of others.
"Coincidentally, there are people besides the rebels who are eyeing it. They are people who have dealt with you in the past."
"Nothingness" paused and said, "I heard that you went to the Lunar Eclipse Sect not long ago and ruined their good deeds. Now people are coming to our door and want to steal our things."
Thanks to Dr. A for the 100 starting coins!
Small theater its two hundred and fifty-two:
A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Tuesday, in the evening
“In this critical moment, the leaders of the Moyu Church stepped forward to save the believers from thorough investigation and liquidation, but this war is far from over, and the Moyu War has just begun. "
"Lao Lu, stop reading."
In the end, Lu Xiang Kua Kua Qun failed to escape the eyes of the big devil.
On the third day after the group was established, the Big Devil's trumpet sneaked into the base of Moyu Church and took all the plans of the fish fry into his hands.
"Why, aren't you leading them to declare war on the entire counterintelligence department?"
"Declaration of war? What declaration of war? It's not that serious at all. You also know that there was a lot of pressure at work some time ago, and they just complained a few times."
Although he has been forced into a desperate situation, Song Lan still cares about the Moyu Cult.
They must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Great Demon King Lu Xiang.
"Even if you sacrifice yourself?"
The Great Demon King Lu Xiang seemed to have read through his mind and asked with a smile.
"Is there any option without sacrificing it, such as the one that allows you to roll dice if your intelligence or charisma reaches 20?"
"No."
Lu Xiang shattered Song Lan's unrealistic illusion, put it next to his ear, and exhaled like orchid, "Mr. Song, you don't want the people in this group to be interviewed tomorrow and have their year-end bonus deducted, right? Then, it will be done in a moment please."
