Since Dr. Xisen was in the lower town of Xin'ao, before leaving the upper town, K proposed to pick up Mizuno in the upper town of Denali.
Of course Li Liang had no objection, but he didn't expect Cain's impromptu idea to eventually turn into a party.
Upper Denali was shot down by goblins and almost crashed in the southern hemisphere. At this moment, the main structure still retains large scorch marks caused by friction with the atmosphere.
Among the four upper cities, Denali Upper City is the smallest, with only two rings, and the diameter of the outermost ring is only more than 700 kilometers. Before being attacked, most residents evacuated to Zhongjing Upper City through the city gate and served as spaceships. After passing through the first ring and flying over the second ring, the city below was pitch black.
Li Liang remembered that Dr. Xisen introduced the characteristics of the four Shangcheng Districts. Zhongjing Shangcheng District is like a huge garden, with a perfect integration of ecological environment and architectural communities. Xin'ao Shangcheng District has vast fields and grasslands, which is a breeding and breeding base for species. , the upper city of Rocky Mountain is the seat of the Activision family, and is naturally a palace of entertainment and art. The upper city of Denali, as one of the giant satellites initially constructed, carries a large number of people who have been filtered by Xi'an and migrated from the surface. , to this day, is still the most populous of the four urban areas.
The architectural style also reflects this. The residential areas on the two rings are as regular as a checkerboard. Unfortunately, nearly half of the houses are always vacant.
Several people went to the moon to inspect the Yaling gold mine. It was almost early morning.
The sunrise and sunset in Shangcheng District are consistent with the time zone of Zhongjing Xiacheng District.
During the period of living in Shangcheng District, Li Liang discovered that residents in Shangcheng District were mainly of Chinese origin, and the proportion was even higher than that in Xiacheng District, Zhongjing. This shows that there was an obvious bias when Xi'an screened the population, and Chinese became a common language. After years of evolution, the accent is completely different from that of a thousand years ago, and it is a mixture of many other languages.
Li Liang can barely understand now and can only speak some simple daily expressions. Fortunately, most of the time he only needs to listen, and when it is his turn to express his views, he will find a reason to pass by.
The spacecraft landed on a public take-off and landing platform according to the preset coordinates.
Returning from the moon, they did not transfer to the passenger spaceship in the upper city, but still took the small special service ship piloted by the android. The hull was too big to land in the residential area.
Li was already asleep in the cabin seat, holding Oumuamua who was also sleeping in his arms.
"You go pick her up, I'll stay with her here," Li Liang leaned into the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
————
K and Cain walked out of the spacecraft.
Most of the evacuated residents have not returned yet, and the residential area is very quiet.
The retinal projection shows that the temperature here is only about 20 degrees, and the night breeze is slightly cool.
K still wore sunglasses and remained silent after coming out of the temple.
Cain raised his head and glanced up. He could faintly see numerous indicator lights at the bottom of a ring, flickering faintly like stars fading before dawn.
The houses on both sides of the street remain unchanged. They are two-story single-family houses with front and back yards. They are spread out one after another with the same spacing between rows, like neatly stacked dominoes.
From time to time, the figure of an android appears, silently and expressionlessly. When encountering the two of them, they suddenly smile and say "good morning" in a cheerful voice.
When Mizuno's house was in sight, a frightened wild cat quickly crossed the street. K lowered his head and lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "When Li Liang went to Avalon City before, Li Shuang called us together and talked about it. The whole cause and effect, as well as time paradox and so on..."
"Hmm," Cain snorted nonchalantly.
"Li Shuang said that his computer suddenly crashed due to a problem with the calculation time paradox. After restarting, he found that Li Liang had disappeared and someone sent a message to the Zero Sequence Robot through the system, so he decided to pretend to be asleep until the goblin broke up and Zero One was ready to start. The Axia cut off its tail to survive, so he regained control of Xi'an and sent out the temple garrison and guard robots..." K hesitated for a moment, "Did you notice there was something wrong with this?"
"what is the problem."
"Li Shuang is actually awake all the time. You saw it in the temple just now. He can still see what's happening on the ground at any time," K whispered. "During this period, Li Liang almost died so many times. He just Watching helplessly?"
Cain was silent.
"Don't you think it's nonsense when he talks about controlling variables and not being able to intervene?" K snorted coldly, "Li Liang never thought that his brother is actually no different from Ling Yi..."
Cain suddenly stood still, looked to one side, licked his back molars with the tip of his tongue, then turned back and said: "Then, you go and tell him now that his brother is dead a long time ago, and his whole family is dead a long time ago. God Is there just a machine head in the temple?"
K said nothing, his eyes dim under his sunglasses.
Cain sniffed, walked a few steps and stood still, scratched his head randomly, then walked back and said: "K, Li Liang just lost that power temporarily. One day he will get it back. I ask you, when that time comes , are you willing to live forever?”
"Like those people from the Temple of Gods?" K said calmly, "Not willing."
"So we can't stay with him for long. Sooner or later, all of us will die and another group of people will follow him. In the end, the only one who can always stand by his side and let him trust unconditionally is Li Shuang. If even Li Shuang can He is not worthy of trust. When he reaches the end of this road, he will really be the only one left..."
Cain shook his head, turned and walked forward.
K looked back at the direction of the spacecraft, wiped out the cigarette butt with his fingers, and followed Cain in a few steps.
After a moment, he came to his senses and wondered: "Hey, Lord, that's not right. You can't die even if you merged with the 'New World'. Why is he the only one left? How many more children will you two have, and the children will have children..." "
"Get out!" Cain said angrily, "Then why don't you want to live forever? You can live forever and bear children for him."
K smiled: "The best ending for me is to die in the flames of war."
"Hmph, time observers are not that easy to deceive. Sooner or later there will be a war. Your wish will be fulfilled when the time comes," Cain said angrily.
A few minutes later.
The two arrived at Mizuno's house, passed through the front yard and the open kitchen, and walked straight into the living room.
The living room was paved with wooden floors, and the entire wall on one side was painted with ukiyo-e paintings. Mizuno, wearing a light pink kimono, bowed to Cain and said, "Your Majesty."
K noticed that there were three cups of tea on the small table in the center of the living room, still steaming, and said casually: "Sonoya, did you know we were coming?"
"K," Mizuno leaned forward and knelt down on the futon behind the waiter. He stretched out his hand to indicate that the two of them should sit down, and said in a leisurely manner: "I heard the sound of the spacecraft engine and guessed it was you."
"Is the injury feeling better?" Cain sat down next to Mizuno without any awareness of being a guest, and put his arm around her shoulders and asked.
"It's okay," Mizuno smiled.
K looked Mizuno up and down, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why has my temperament changed after living in Shangcheng District for a few weeks? I still like Ichibanjie Madam, Yakuza brother-in-law, please recover."
Mizuno smiled and said nothing.
Cain glanced down, raised the corners of his mouth, put his hand directly into Mizuno's clothes, and pulled out a gun.
K was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up.
Mizuno looked gentle, as if nothing had happened, and gently held a cup of tea and handed it to K.
"Li Liang is waiting for us, drink quickly," Cain lowered his head and played with the gun with body temperature, "Hey, Sonoya, what kind of gun is this?"
"The standard pistol of the Temple Guard Corps uses magnetic blast bullets. It has a magazine capacity of twelve rounds and a range of about 150 meters."
"I've seen this kind of gun," K took a sip of tea. "It's very easy to deal with robots."
At this time.
Mizuno held up the tea cup and said calmly: "Have you been to the temple?"
"Is this also a guess?" K laughed.
"Well," Shuiye lowered his gaze, "What did Li Liang say when we met?"
K said slowly: "He told Li Shuang, 'You will get to know each other in the future.'"
Mizuno nodded and took a sip of tea: "Thinking about it afterwards, the Zero call to see us was not only to explain the whole thing, but also to warn us to see the situation clearly. He, Robben, and Li Anqiao represent Shangcheng District, and those of us naturally We will fight for the interests of Xiacheng District, and no matter what, both parties must pay attention to their sense of proportion."
"Okay, okay, let's not discuss the matter of No. 0 anymore." Cain stood up and put the gun in his pocket. "No one present at the time was a fool. They all understood that it was pointless to talk about this."
K stood up: "Let's go and find Dr. Xisen."
Half an hour later.
The three of them boarded the spacecraft and entered the cabin.
Li Liang opened his eyes and smiled: "Shuiye."
"Mr. Li Liang," Mizuno was still wearing a kimono, revealing the fair skin on his neck when he bowed.
"Is the injury healed?"
"Yes," Mizuno stood up and smiled softly.
Li Liang clicked his bracelet: "Let's go."
