sewing machine?
Li Liang's first reaction was that Old Tang had made a mistake.
This is normal. Even a mole crawling in a sewage pipe for six hours would be confused, let alone a middle-aged man.
In addition, even a thousand years ago, many people did not know what a handloom looked like. By this era, the weaving industry has been eliminated, and now clothes are directly printed.
Old Tang may have had some hallucination in a daze.
"Hoho, you don't believe it," Old Tang said with a knowing expression, "Actually, when I first saw that machine, I thought I climbed into the wrong place, but I remember clearly that that was the deepest part of the Nirvana Building. , for so many years, every psychic has received support or enlightenment in the Nirvana Building, and has also received spiritual treasures in the Nirvana Building. The 'New World' must be there."
"Then what?"
Li Liang asked what must have happened to make Old Tang confirm that the loom was the "New World".
"Then, I saw the dominator," Old Tang recalled. "The dominator walked to the machine. He didn't speak or move. He just stood. The loom started to move on its own, and the cloth rolled up and down. Moving between the shafts, I simultaneously smelled the strongest spicy smell I have ever smelled in my life, as if I was soaking in a spiritual pool.
After a few minutes, the loom stopped, and I saw the dominator touching the fabric between the rollers and starting to talk to himself. "
"what did he say?"
"You can't hear clearly," Old Tang shook his head, "However, soon another person walked up to the machine. I didn't know that person, but I heard what he said clearly. He looked at the machine and asked the controller , 'This is the new world?'."
The room fell silent.
for a long time.
Old Tang whispered: "After they left, I went back the way I came. It took me a long time to find out that the machine with that shape was a loom, but it was much larger than the ancient loom, and it seemed to be made of metal. ’s... I always wanted to forget this matter, as if it had never happened. I kept telling myself that the 'New World' is an artifact just like the Dominator said, ho ho, it is an artifact, yes Right, Li Liang? Even if it looks like a loom, it can also be an artifact, right?"
For these last two questions, Old Tang's voice was trembling. It sounded like questions, but in fact it was more like self-hypnosis.
Is a loom an artifact?
Li Liang couldn't answer Old Tang's question.
At first, he felt that the so-called 'New World' was a scam and was actually 'condensation'.
Just now, he thought that Old Tang would see the spiritual core, because it could continuously provide spiritual energy in a barren place like the earth, which was very consistent with the characteristics of the spiritual core.
However, he never imagined that the 'new world' would be a loom.
A loom that can provide spirituality, comfort and enlightenment?
"Are you crazy?" Li Liang raised his head and asked.
Old Tang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, just think I'm crazy."
The two fell silent again.
After a moment, Li Liang stood up and said, "You should take a rest first."
With that he turned and walked out of the room.
The moment he closed the door, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then opened the door to the next room.
He needed to hear what K and Mizuno thought, and he needed to change his mind.
The dark room smelled of alcohol.
Zhizhi had fallen asleep and snored.
K was nestled on the sofa, still staring at Old Tang's figure in the one-way mirror, with dozens of various wine bottles at his feet.
Mizuno stood up with a serious expression.
Li Liang took out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket at the door, sat next to K, also looked at the one-way mirror, and drank the beer one sip after another.
The light from the other room from the one-way mirror illuminated the faces of the three people.
They were silent, as if they were watching a silent movie.
On the "screen", Old Tang sat with his head bowed, like a frozen scene.
After an unknown amount of time, K said slowly: "The man named Tang is lying."
Li Liang paused while drinking: "Which sentence?"
K snorted: "He crawled from the sewage pipe into a place that must be heavily guarded. It happened that no one noticed it, the dominator happened to appear, and another person happened to run out and said something that couldn't be more precise. Is this the new world? The only thing it does is tell the third person present that the loom is the fucking new world.”
At this time, Li Liang realized that he was infected by the weird atmosphere when Old Tang described it, and ignored some simpler logic.
The statement "This is the new world" seems reasonable, but it is actually very abrupt.
Because the timing of its appearance was so coincidental.
"If Tang wasn't lying, then the leader deliberately put on a show. The question is, for whom?" K said quietly, "To a bastard subordinate? Or..."
Mizuno whispered: "Show it to us."
"What do you mean?" Li Liang smiled, "The ruler expected that many years later, the three of us would be here interrogating Old Tang?"
Suddenly, Old Tang in the one-way mirror turned to look this way and said expressionlessly: "I didn't lie."
For a moment.
Li Liang's back was covered with cold sweat.
——————————
Third Street.
"F/MOTEL" motel.
"Is there anyone sneaking around?" Dr. Xisen hid behind the sofa and poked his head around.
Daji stood at the door and looked around, then turned back to the room, closed the door and said, "Dr. Xisen, excluding you, there is no sneaky person."
"Tsk, it was too dangerous just now," Xisen seemed very satisfied with his performance as an agent for the first time. He moved his shoulders and sat down on the sofa. "If we hadn't run so fast, we would have been caught by the Order Bureau."
Daji said seriously: "To be precise, I ran faster because you were lying on my back."
"Nonsense, nonsense," Xisen waved his hand, "Take out the black box quickly."
In order to get this black box, he and Daji waited for five hours before they saw the opportunity to enter the explosion area and found the black box that had fallen into the rubble. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the Bureau of Order agents who were investigating the scene. After chasing and escaping for another two hours, I finally got rid of the pursuit and found a small hotel where I didn't need to register my identity to hide.
Daji took out a large box from her huge backpack, and then took out a small box from the big box, a box within a box, and finally took out a matchbox, took out a chip the size of a little finger cap and handed it over.
Xisen carefully took the chip, held it with one hand, and took out a fist-sized cube from his pocket with the other hand.
"This bionic man is a few years old. I don't know if the black box is broken. If I had known, I would have designed this part well. Oops, I was lazy and lazy," Xisen muttered and gently placed the chip on the cube.
The next moment, a holographic image was projected into the air, and lines of code scrolled rapidly.
Xisen narrowed his eyes, scratched his messy white hair and muttered: "Not this, this, not this? No."
A few minutes later, he suddenly laughed: "Yes, this is it."
He said touching the line of code lightly.
A hologram was once again projected into the cube, showing a menu that was turning pages, as if someone was controlling it.
After a while, the menu flipped to the bottom, engineering mode.
Then, a voice came from the cube:
"Hello, engineer."
"Unknown information."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Unknown information."
"Through the intermediary, the communication ID number is: JTH875892."
"Ha," Xisen pointed at the image and said to Daji, "Did you see it? Did you see it? Ha, the mission log of the executioner is retained and can be restored. Ha, how about it?"
"Let me see where our Mr. Li Liang has gone," Xisen happily took out his bracelet and dialed JTH875892.
After a moment, a mechanical voice came from the bracelet: "User JTH875892 has turned off the device."
"..."
Daji smiled and said, "I see, Dr. Xisen, you are great."
