Li Liang looked down at the city below.
In this era, most people live in apartments assigned by their workplaces. They move here and there as they are transferred, not to mention taking care of their families. If they are unlucky, they move into a building where gangs are entrenched, such as the Fifth Main Street PEACH Building, then there will be no peaceful life.
Many children's childhood toys are guns and bullets.
If you grow up in such an atmosphere, you will naturally become a gang member. It is best to grow into a core member, so that you don't have to go to work, but make money through gang business. Maybe one day you can transform into a member of the upper class. Entering and exiting by airship.
If you are timid and afraid of death, you can only attend various training courses and then work. If you are lucky and have devout faith in Xi'an, you will be lucky enough to enter the Bureau of Order or even work in the joint meeting. That will be glory for the whole family and a worry-free life.
The New Order Law is in name only. What really matters in this era is Xi'an's bottom line.
Xi'an gives people freedom.
As long as you don't cross that bottom line, this era seems like paradise.
Everyone is equal, the ideology is unprecedentedly unified, and there are very few trolls on the Internet.
You can carve out a world in the gang world, or you can rely on the union and live peacefully.
You can enjoy unlimited entertainment, or you can stay at home and get happiness from Activision Internet. You can eat all kinds of food, synthetic, the only drawback is that it comes with a little spirulina or pellets. The smell of algae.
You can take a passenger boat to other cities, or settle directly in other places, such as Beijing in the heart of the world, Denali, the hill city, Xinao City, the city of bionic technology, the Fuji that never docks, and the exotic Mexico , the location of Activision's downtown headquarters, the star-studded Rocky Mountain City, and the holographic paradise Bay City, as long as you have money.
The only thing truly lacking in this heavenly age is thought.
That's all.
Li Liang looked away. This was not the future that humans were supposed to reach. It looked like it, but it wasn't.
soon.
The airship descended slowly and landed on a lawn.
Li Liang jumped off the airship and stepped on the soft grass.
Plastic grass.
However, the surrounding environment still shows that this is a wealthy area northeast of Beijing. Standing here, you can see the New Order Joint Conference building in the distance.
Li Liang has never been to this area.
Because the rich people all buy real pets from the "Sini Animal Catalog" and no one keeps bionic pets, the prices have dropped.
There are not many cars on the streets here, and there are not even many airships in the air.
Probably the Traffic Management Bureau has specially set it up, and the system rarely guides airships to pass through this airspace.
After all, wealthy people don’t want others to be able to overlook their yards at all times.
Across the street, an old lady walked by with a dog.
Li Liang could tell at a glance that it was a real dog, because the bionic dog's posture when walking was very standard. Unless an expensive mimicry program was purchased, there would be the inconsistency that naturally appears when a real animal walks.
The old lady looked dull and didn't even bother to hang a nameplate from the Sydney Animal Catalog around the dog's neck.
"Hello, Mr. Li Liang," a slightly sweet female voice said.
Li Liang turned around and saw a tall woman wearing a formal dress.
The woman has a typical Italian face, with flirty makeup and a tilted head and a smile.
"Hello," Li Liang nodded.
K regained his casual look and stretched: "Marlena, long time no see, you seem to have gained weight."
"Thank you," Marlena's smile remained unchanged, she turned sideways and led the way.
Li Liang and K followed closely.
After all, this is Zhongjing City, where land is at a premium, and Whisper's private house is not as big as imagined.
Entering from the main entrance, there is a gravel path leading to a sloping parallelogram-shaped villa.
In front of the courtyard is a lawn planted with various flowers.
real flowers.
This small flower meadow alone is enough to prove that the owner of this mansion has strong financial resources.
Marlena led the way, the slit of her dress was slit almost to her waist, and she walked in a unique style.
However, Li Liang was not in the mood to appreciate it.
In the blink of an eye, he discovered that there was only one beating heart on the first floor of the villa, while the underground floor was full of at least thirty beating hearts.
If it were bodyguards or subordinates, it would be a bit strange to have them all gathered on the underground floor.
moment.
Arriving at the door, Malena turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Whisperer is waiting for you in the living room. I hope to chat with you alone." She emphasized the word "alone", obviously reminding K.
"Are you so outgoing? Okay," K shrugged and smiled at Marlena: "It just so happens that I also want to talk to you alone."
"I'm happy to accompany you," Marlena smiled coquettishly.
Li Liang paused for a moment and walked into the villa.
Turning into the living room from the entrance, you have a wide view. It is a spacious living room with simple decoration and a white couch in the middle of the floor.
An ordinary-looking middle-aged Chinese man was sitting on the sofa. He was strong and energetic. He smiled at Li Liang and patted the place beside him.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment.
In his imagination, Mr. Whisper should be an old man with the temperament of a veteran Italian gang, not an ordinary middle-aged man.
And he always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.
It's on my lips, but I can't remember it.
Li Liang didn't want to be stunned for too long, so he put aside his thoughts and went to sit down.
Normally during this kind of social interaction, everyone sits across from each other. Li Liang rarely sits in rows when meeting strangers for the first time.
However, when he sat down, he understood the purpose of placing the sofa in this way.
Sitting here, you can see the flower fields and green grassy courtyard through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room.
Next, both sides fell into silence.
There were two cups of cold drinks on the coffee table in front of him. Li Liang picked them up and took a sip, trying to hide his embarrassment.
You definitely didn't invite him here by whispering for flower viewing. You have to talk sooner or later.
for a long time.
Whispering sat back, leaned on the sofa, and said, "We have been waiting for this day for a long time."
The voice was old and hoarse, sounding like an old man in his nineties.
Li Liang frowned and turned to look at Whisper's face, and was stunned.
Just a moment ago, he was whispering with a middle-aged face, but now his face is full of wrinkles and looks old.
More importantly, at this distance, Li Liang vaguely felt that it was not a different person, but that the middle-aged man just now had instantly grown older.
magic? Taoism?
no.
There is no trace of spirit on Wu Xiu's body at all.
Li Liang stared blankly at Whisper's face, no longer caring about politeness. The scene in front of him was already transformed into a living person, a close-up magic.
Whisper turned and smiled at the side: "Look, this is the person in the metaphor, and he is actually surprised."
Li Liang swallowed.
Whether he opened his eyes or closed them, he could swear on K's life that he and Whisper were the only two people on the sofa or even in the entire living room.
At this time, Whisper nodded and said "to himself": "Of course he will be surprised, because you, an old guy, haven't introduced us to him yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Whisper said, bowing to the side, turning back to look at Li Liang and saying, "Hello, Li Liang, our name is Legion." He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Well, you're right. , we should tell him our Chinese names." With a flicker of his eyes, he smiled and said, "You can also call us, Group."
