"Darwin said that science is the arrangement of facts and the discovery of universal facts and laws."
Xia Chuluo turned around and looked at the middle-aged gunman.
"Trust the existing science. Everything I just said is based on existing observations."
"But..." The middle-aged man hesitated to speak.
"Read more. Nietzsche also said that if you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself. Over the years, you have always regarded the temple as your opponent, and the temple is an organization that believes in the existence of gods. When you have nothing to do on weekdays, you will become a dragon. Ask yourself if you’ve been influenced to believe that shit exists.”
If Miss Xia had lived in the old society, she would have been a pioneer in breaking down feudal superstitions and beliefs.
The only thing in this world that made her feel somewhat confused was Lu Wen's true identity. She could make some guesses, but she couldn't get an accurate answer.
However, Lu Wen never confessed to her, maybe because he had other concerns.
"I did have a daughter before. She used to..."
"Happy revenge."
Xia Chuluo interrupted the middle-aged man.
She has no interest in participating in other people's revenge.
After that, she turned and went upstairs.
Late at night.
The heavy rain lasted for a long time, and the ticking sound kept ringing outside the window.
Those old steel pipes were corroded by rain, revealing their dark red interior.
The old rust stains fall off with the rain, leaving red traces representing the years on the light pink walls of the hotel. The new rust stains slowly grow under the moisture of the rain.
Everyone in the team has their own room.
The man who controlled the ant robot was hanging out with Fatty Jiang, and they didn't know what they were up to.
The remaining ones were mostly relatively powerful mercenaries who had a life-long friendship with Xia Zheng.
They followed Xia Chuluo, one to repay the favor, and the other was unhappy with the floating city and felt that the city should be taken down in his lifetime.
"Lu Wen, get a glass of warm water. I'll take medicine later." Xia Chuluo was taking a bath, and his voice came from the bathroom.
The two of them live in one room.
Lu Wen didn't have any equipment, he himself was the strongest equipment.
Although this body is not as good as the main body in Mowu City, its configuration is not bad, it is a mobile humanoid bomb.
"The doctor said that kind of painkillers may cause dependence. It's better for you to take less." Lu Wen said.
"What the hell, I've never heard anything the doctor said."
"Even if you listen to one sentence, you should be more than half recovered by now, and you won't have to take medicine every day."
After taking the medicine, I simply wiped my hair.
Xia Chuluo sat in front of the computer and opened the USB flash drive Luo Ruyan gave her.
Inside is the information of twenty-one people.
Most of these people are powerful mercenaries, and they have no bottom line. They will do things if they are paid. Whether they are civilians or politicians, old people or children, as long as the money is available, they can become their targets.
"Duan Tiannan is considered one of the strongest mercenaries because of his principles. When he performed his first mission, a child appeared in his scope, so he killed the person who supervised him and escaped from the training camp. "Xia Chuluo said.
Principled people often don't survive long in such dangerous work.
But Duan Tiannan not only lived to retire, but also lived happily.
As for why you retired.
Lu Wen once asked about this.
Duan Tiannan was silent for a while, took a sip of wine, and then said that he was carrying out the mission together with several other mercenaries. After those scumbags completed their mission, they sneaked into the home of a local teenage girl and killed her family. Sir... He couldn't stand it anymore, so he shot and sent those guys on their way.
Of course, there were other reasons besides that, but he didn't say much.
"In this business, don't have a sense of justice in your heart. Empty those senses of justice and put money in..."
Lu Wen always remembered what Duan Tiannan said to him.
He sat next to Xia Chuluo and looked at the twenty-one people crossing the computer screen.
"The price offered by Floating City at that time was very attractive, but the opponent was my father, so most people were hesitant, and these twenty-one guys, and Luo Ruyan..."
Faces were reflected in Xia Chuluo's eyes, and she was writing down these people as quickly as possible.
The USB flash drive even recorded the current addresses of these people. It seemed that Luo Ruyan still had contact with some of them.
"Seven of them died in the later years, leaving fourteen, five of whom are disabled, one is in a vegetative state, seven are retired, and only one is still running around the world, taking on those hunting missions."
If it's for money.
The amount of money given by Floating City was enough for their retirement.
But people's hearts are always insufficient, and although money is the more important factor, another point is also important.
They need to satisfy their inner desire to kill, which is like an abyss. Once they fall into it, they will sink deeper and deeper.
"Do you believe the information Luo Ruyan gave you?" Lu Wen asked.
"Believe it or not, this should be a retreat he prepared for himself from the beginning. If I find him, he will give this USB flash drive in exchange for a chance to escape."
"Of course, these guys may also be Luo Ruyan's enemies. He deliberately led us to deal with those people."
Luo Ruyan is now under their surveillance.
The next thing to do is to find these people who are still alive in the USB flash drive.
Restore the car accident bit by bit.
Lu Wen knew that Xia Chuluo would not be satisfied with just one conclusion. She probably wanted to do something bigger...
"These people, whether they are disabled or retired, are all living in the Central City now. Then there is another possibility. Those who participated in this matter have some connection with the Floating City. Luo Ruyan hopes to use their Death comes to remind the floating city," Xia Chuluo said.
"Why didn't he just tell Floating City that you had arrived?"
"If you say it directly, the intention is too obvious, and it means killing someone with a borrowed knife. Luo Ruyan likes to show off his IQ and calculations, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public."
The high floating city didn't know Xia Chuluo's arrival yet.
Over there in Mowu City, there is still Xia Chuluo, who lies at home every day, sometimes going out for a walk, and talking to the outside world to recuperate.
The next day, it was still cloudy.
The sun cannot penetrate the thick clouds.
The dim streets are filled with early risers.
In the distance, there is a large area shrouded in the shadow of the floating city, with no sunlight visible.
Fortunately, the sun above me was always moving, so the shadow was not fixed.
An old mechanical deacon discovered an anomaly during his inspection.
"Drunk? Corpse?"
He scratched his rusty and peeling mechanical head, came to the door of the hotel, saw the bloody hole between the eyebrows of the fallen man, and determined that it was a corpse.
Soon, more than a dozen mechanical deacons came to the scene.
They began to take pictures of the corpse, looked at the body spots, etc., and simply judged the time of death.
Dead people are relatively common in this city.
But most of them only exist in daily news reports. After all, few people bring out the secret things to the public. It is still rare to see such corpses thrown at the door of the hotel without anyone collecting them.
As a result, the number of onlookers increased.
It may be a good luck idea to gather around the corpse early in the morning.
There were many tenants in the hotel sitting in the lobby on the first floor, eating breakfast, which consisted of simple porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and fried dough sticks.
The alluring scent fills the morning air.
Maybe it was because people were dead, so they ate more deliciously. While eating, they watched the mechanical butler dispose of the corpse with relish.
The three people from last night were among them.
"We need to ask some questions now, and I hope you can cooperate."
Many mechanical deacons entered the lobby on the first floor of the hotel one after another.
