"She was the daughter of Professor Han Putnam, the founder of the Putnam family," Dr. Sisson recalled. "If I remember correctly, she died at her wedding. From that day on, Professor Putnam decided to convert to the Twin Gods.”
Die at a wedding?
Li Liang was stunned. If the video clip at the weapons base showed his wedding to DY, then would his wedding end with the death of the bride?
Could it be that the video from the maintenance drone base happened to capture the second half of the wedding?
At this moment, we are 400,000 kilometers away and have no way of knowing.
Putting aside this thought, Li Liang said softly: "She is the girl in that photo."
"Huh?" Dr. Sisson smiled bitterly, "No wonder it looked familiar at the time. My surname was Putnam."
"What else is recorded about her?"
"I saw this record in the "Gospel of Han Putnam". There is only this sentence," Dr. Sisson threw the paper in his hand on the bed. "This is Xi'an. The real history is covered up by religious stories. We seem to You can freely obtain any information. In fact, all information has been strictly screened. This is the first time I know most of the contents in this document." At this point, he shook his head, "Of course, it may be because I am eighteen years old. The moment I left Uptown, I was no longer a direct descendant of the family.”
Li Liang remained silent.
When he actually came to the upper city, he understood Dr. Xisen somewhat and how Xi'an created this abnormal era.
Power is like a mountain peak. A mediocre ordinary person standing in the distance and looking at the whole thing at a glance seems to know the mountain peak well, and feels that it is nothing more than that.
However, only by actually walking to the foot of the mountain and climbing halfway up the mountain can we understand how majestic the mountain is. There is a thick fog above the mountain top. Even though we clearly know that the people standing on the top of the mountain are also living people, including wives, children, children, relatives and friends. But it is always difficult to get a glimpse of it. Those people seem to have turned into symbols, representing undeniable power.
If in the so-called information age of a thousand years, power is just a mountain peak, Xi'an has built a Tower of Babel with the power of technology that ordinary people cannot understand. People in the lower city live at the bottom, and people in the upper city live in the middle. Lord, The president and his descendants live on the top floor, while the pantheon of gods, the Hall of Valor and the Twin Gods are in the vast universe, as if they are living in the kingdom of God.
In this Tower of Babel, each floor has completely different rules. The only similarity is the surrender to the twin gods. This surrender is reflected in fear in the lower city and faith in the upper city.
The people in the lower city who live within the canopy are powerless to resist, and the people in the upper city who believe in the Twin Gods have no reason to resist. The Babel Tower is impregnable.
If it weren't for the "New World" plan conspired by the goblins and Dros after the spiritual door was opened, perhaps people would have no need for redemption and there would be no "resistance."
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
K sat up suddenly, glanced at Li Liang and Dr. Xisen, and said in a low voice: "Who?"
"Hello, do you need cleaning service?" A well-spoken female voice came from outside the door.
Li Liang waved his hand to K, walked to the door and opened it.
The female android standing outside the door smiled and said: "Hello sir, do you need cleaning service?"
"unnecessary."
"Okay, I wish you a pleasant stay," the female android turned and left.
Li Liang closed the door, turned back and said softly: "This is the code, there is news about Li Hao."
A few minutes later.
He sat on the high chair at the front desk of the lobby with K and heard some surprising news.
"We haven't found any information about Li Hao, but a person claiming to be from Zhuos Marginal Business Department contacted Zero Four through neuroroaming and asked to meet you."
Zero One Two stirred the blue wine in the pot with a slender spoon, his voice flat.
"Marginal Business Department?" Li Liang frowned.
The Marginal Business Department's operation in Zhongjing failed completely, and now they have a common enemy, Zhuos Yingling.
"Where to meet?"
"Neuromantic," Zero One Two's stirring hand paused, "the precise description is that a backup copy of Neuromand's 'home' area is entered through a secret access point in Central Bay City."
Central Bay City?
Li Liang vaguely remembered this name. When he went to the secret community of androids in Neuromansion, the dynamic map he looked at on the carriage showed that there were seventeen large and small cities in the upper city of the moon, and Central Bay City was one of them. .
"You mean you can only see that person by going to Central Bay City to connect to Neuromansion?"
"Yes."
"How do they know I live in Black Crow?"
"No, they are not sure of your location." Zero One and Two took out two glasses of blue wine and pushed them in front of the two of them. "Zhuos Margin Business Department just noticed our existence."
K adjusted his sunglasses and said casually: "Testing."
Li Liang nodded.
As long as the existence of zero-sequence bionics is detected, it is not difficult to speculate that the bionics may have mastered the whereabouts of the "Moon Landing Team".
This is both a test and an invitation to cooperate.
Nowadays, the marginal business department is in a difficult situation. What it faces is no longer a matter of winning or losing, but a matter of survival.
Li Liang took a sip of wine, exhaled a breath of wine and said, "Find Li Hao first."
"Okay," Zero One Er put his hands on the counter and smiled like a human bartender, "How does the cocktail I made taste?"
Three o'clock in the morning.
In the room, Li Liang, K and Dr. Xisen analyzed the documents provided by the zero-sequence bionic man one by one. Unfortunately, they did not gain much, mainly because Dr. Xisen’s life in the upper city was filled with studies and parties, and he never deliberately He paid attention to the news about the temple. After returning to Xiacheng District at the age of eighteen, he became obsessed with scientific research and became estranged from the family.
The only thing that was somewhat useful was that the doctor remembered that on January 1st every year, the temple would deliver a New Year's speech to all the residents of the uptown area. Most of the time, it was represented by the main god of the pantheon or the heroic spirit of the Hall of Valor, but sometimes, it was also represented by The "apostle" covered in red robes appeared.
Zero One is the "apostle".
K also pointed out that power itself should not be attractive to androids. From a time perspective, Zero One has controlled Xi'an for many years, but has done almost nothing. This is unreasonable. There must be another reason for usurping power.
Just as Li Liang was about to continue the discussion, the knock on the door rang again.
"Hello, do you need cleaning service?"
The code came again.
This time Li Liang went downstairs alone and returned in a few minutes.
"The bionics are going to meet at Neuromansion," Li Liang motioned to K and Dr. Xisen to continue their research. He leaned on the bedside and put on the Neuromansion device again.
The blue light spots in the headband began to flow.
After experiencing the transition from bright to dark to soft light, he was once again down to earth, still in the middle of the elegant study.
However, this time it was no longer an old-fashioned phone, but a Zero Four.
"Sorry, Master, we have no information about Li Hao for the time being, but there is an anomaly that I must tell you. Just twenty minutes ago, the meteorological and gravity systems collapsed in parts of the upper city on the moon. After screening, we finally It was confirmed that the problem originated from the lunar core engine, and its magnetic field flip oscillation period was briefly disrupted."
Li Liang's heart skipped a beat.
Lunar core engine!
The fourth princess said before she died that the engine that keeps the moon running is the "fifth spiritual core" of Zhuosi Yingling. Now that there is a problem with the moon core engine, it means that there is not much time left for him.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Li Liang made a decisive decision: "I want to see Zhuos Margin Business Department."
