In the evening, the inner city has already started its nightlife.
Various nightclubs have already begun to open, and the mechas have changed their paint jobs to attract the opposite sex. Their vehicles, buildings, including their bodies, and even the decorations on the streets and the goods in the stores have become colorful and intoxicating because of the exotic colors.
The so-called night view is actually embellished by lighting. In the Machinery City, night is the most beautiful time of the day.
The desires that have not been fully released during the day and the data storage device that is craving for new data make the mechanical people start looking for the opposite sex.
Although the darkness makes it difficult to conceal crimes from the mechanical race, many crimes still happen at night.
Chaos and temptation, violence and desire, depravity and death are not the characteristics of the night in the Machine City, but they are most vividly displayed in the Machine City.
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Yan Zizai. He had almost paid off his free meals by washing dishes, and his hands had slowed down.
"The era before the tower? You didn't lie to me? Is everything you said true?"
Bai Xiaoyu just has the kind of temperament that makes people believe in him, and Yan Zizai actually already believes it.
Endless Nirvana itself is also a very powerful sequence, so it is not surprising to rely on the sequence to achieve immortality.
"I didn't lie to you." Bai Xiaoyu nodded seriously.
Looking at Yan Zizai's reaction, he was still confused, but Bai Wu gave the order, so Bai Xiaoyu told him his secret.
Yan Zizai was silent for a long time.
He washed the dishes slowly. It was obvious that Bai Xiaoyu was arranged by Bai Wu to be by his side.
Bai Wu's thinking is very direct, and he often makes assumptions based on what the other party wants. He speaks to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way, which can be seen from the way he dealt with Edo.
Last time, Yan Zizai asked the question whether people's hearts would change after seven hundred years. Ultimately, he wanted to explore how they would change if they did.
But before he could discuss it in detail, the spell was interrupted by white mist.
Fortunately, Bai Wu did not forget.
Since the topic you want to talk about is the inner changes of a person after living for seven hundred years, I will find such a person for you.
After a long silence, feeling the streets becoming increasingly noisy, Yan Zizai said:
"Then logically, you should be very powerful, but you have a low position in the Survey Corps."
"I have some reasons... I can't tell you in detail, but I was imprisoned before, and I have been living in the tower. Occasionally, I would be sent outside the tower to meet one of my companions."
Bai Xiaoyu lowered his head, feeling a little sad. He was just such a person, who wanted to get rid of Dandeler's sick friendship before.
But after leaving, he would still think about Dandeler and wonder if he was lonely.
Because for seven hundred years, Dandeler has devoured countless lives, but he always treated Bai Xiaoyu as a friend.
"You give me the feeling... You don't seem to be lying, but it's hard to believe. Seven hundred years is a long time, and you don't look like someone who has lived for seven hundred years."
Bai Xiaoyu didn’t quite understand what it would be like to live for seven hundred years
Yan Zizai said:
"You were imprisoned for seven hundred years. Don't you hate that person?"
"I hate it. He has been using me to threaten my friends." Bai Xiaoyu's eyes became a little sharper.
Although the huge protective shield blocks part of the view, the moon can still be seen. The waning moon hangs in the night sky, and the moonlight shines on the earth.
This was indeed a good time for a night talk, and it seemed that the topic they were talking about was so special that the noise outside seemed irrelevant.
Yan Zizai frowned, and he had almost finished washing the dishes. He didn't want to delay any longer, and he had to find something to do tonight. Before leaving, he said:
"You are just a special case. It doesn't mean anything. Bai Wu is really wasting his time."
Bai Xiaoyu didn’t quite understand.
Yan Zizai classified Bai Xiaoyu as some kind of... outlier, because he felt that Bai Xiaoyu could not represent the majority.
"Did Captain Bai have any agreement with you?" Bai Xiaoyu pondered Yan Zizai's reaction.
Yan Zizai suddenly raised his voice a bit:
"For seven hundred years, your desires have not been satisfied, so you have not changed. However, the desires of the immortals will be satisfied. Only by pursuing greater desires and greater satisfaction can one not feel that life is dull. In this process, people are bound to become more evil.
Or maybe it's not evil, but you've adapted to the rules for too long, seen too many things, and the world in your eyes has become corrupt. Only by doing something outside the rules can you get satisfaction and freshness. There's no desire in your eyes. So Bai Wu sending you here doesn't answer my question."
Bai Xiaoyu was stunned. This adult actually said so much in a serious manner.
Yan Zizai also felt it was strange. He shouldn't be so impetuous, especially why he was arguing with a child.
In his heart, he still felt that Bai Xiaoyu was a young man regardless of his appearance or character.
Although he already believed that Bai Xiaoyu might have really lived for seven hundred years, he did not have the mentality that a person who lived for seven hundred years should have.
In his opinion, this conversation was over.
But Bai Xiaoyu seemed to understand something.
He is kind, simple, and innocent at heart, and has not changed in the past seven hundred years, but time has indeed given him many opportunities to think. If he is willing to analyze and dissect, Bai Xiaoyu can also have a good insight.
He suddenly thought that Lord Yan... must want to verify something, although he didn't know the specific reason.
"I don't know what's bothering you, sir, but I think... you're wrong."
Bai Xiaoyu looked at Yan Zizai seriously. Yan Zizai wanted to sneer, but after hearing what Bai Xiaoyu said, he was stunned.
"If you don't love the world, but only love yourself, then even if life is as short as fireworks, you will not feel it is brilliant. But if you love the world, it will never become old and rotten."
After saying this, Bai Xiaoyu felt a little uncomfortable again. Of course, it wasn't the kind of embarrassment that she would shout "We met in another world and enjoyed delicious food".
I am just a substitute in the vanguard of the Survey Corps. How dare I lecture the adults of the Supervisory Group...
Once the serious aura faded, Bai Xiaoyu looked timid again.
Yan Zizai had originally opened the task list, planning to take on some work that night, but as Bai Xiaoyu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of his sister, and his hands stopped moving.
The memory of my sister has not become complete.
Her life should have been painful, but even so, at her final farewell, she still seemed to be reluctant to leave.
It seems that I can hold on and will continue to try my best to live.
Perhaps the reason was what Bai Xiaoyu said. She felt that her existence did not cause any trouble to her brother. Was this the satisfaction of being alive
The city has begun to party.
Yan Zizai shook his head and said:
"Let's go. We still have a lot of things to do tonight. The night is a good cover. We have to earn some money and find a place to stay first."
It was as if he didn't hear what was just said. He picked his task again and prepared to leave.
Bai Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but inexplicably, he felt that this adult was a little lonely.
…
…
Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu started their journey as mercenaries in the Mechanical City. Mercenaries have many tasks and a high degree of freedom. But because of this, there are many mercenaries.
This mechanical city is full of mercenaries, and it is easy to run into colleagues who are looking for missions.
On the other side, Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi, one heals the soul and the other heals the body, also began their journey as miracle doctors in the inner city of the Mechanical City.
In comparison, the white mist is quite nourishing, because although the twisted soul corrector is not the only profession, the twisted soul corrector plus the Rawu virus healer is the only profession.
Xie Xingzhi had indeed studied the medical skills of the mechanical race, but compared with the real elite doctors in the inner city, Xie Xingzhi's body suturing skills were not competitive at all.
But with Bai Wu, Xie Xingzhi's medical fees became higher and higher, and his business was endless.
This is actually a gimmick, just like in Bai Wu’s previous life, there were always people saying that the combined wealth of me, Ma Jieke, Wang Wanda, Liu Lianmang, and Ma Penguin could shake the Asian financial circle.
Bai Wu also packaged Xie Xingzhi in this way - the medical skills of Xie Xingzhi and I combined can provide a person with thorough treatment inside and out.
In this way, Xie Xingzhi also experienced the feeling of cheating. Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi still had no fame, but they were accumulating prestige at a very fast speed.
However, until three days after they entered the inner city, the two still did not encounter any other members of the exploration team.
There is still no news about Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu, Wujiu and Zheng Yue.
So much so that Xie Xingzhi thought they were still trapped in the outer city.
Bai Wu has a completely different opinion on this. He doesn't know how capable Yan Zizai is, but Bai Wu has absolute confidence in Wujiu. On the one hand, he has confidence in the captain's strength, and on the other hand, he has confidence in the captain's luck.
Everything is indeed so, because just yesterday, all the forces in the Mechanical City received news that the Dark Night Judgment Gang under the giant weapons manufacturer, the Eye of Kuros, has produced two super fighters who are comparable to the "Double Kill Supreme" back then.
For a time, all the major gangs that had conflicts with it were somewhat panic-stricken.
The night in the Mechanical City became even more chaotic.
…
…
Outside the tower, a few days ago.
Zheng Yue and Wujiu appeared in the northern area outside the Machinery City.
It is also the most dangerous area in the entire outer city, because the major inner city forces often choose to start a war in the northern district.
This place is also known as the burial ground.
When he first arrived at the Machinery City, Wujiu quickly learned to analyze like Bai Wu, and then when he had a career choice in mind, he remembered Xuanhui City, where he had been with Bai Wu before.
The place where Bai Wu obtained the full moon fragments, so Wujiu had the idea of playing a game.
"Our goal should be to get inside." Wujiu said, hiding in a corner and watching the fight between the two forces.
Zheng Yue yawned:
"It's up to you. I'll do whatever you say. Don't treat me as your boss. I'm just a bystander in the inspection team."
"You look sleepy?"
"I guess so. I feel sleepy all the time. You don't have to worry about it."
Zheng Yue’s drowsiness is a side effect of the sequence.
Wujiu felt that Zheng Yue was a lazy person, but he also had a dangerous aura.
After the occupation information popped up, Wujiu said:
"The firepower of these mecha monsters is too fierce. We can't defeat them, so we choose to join them."
The deputy head of the Survey Corps was actually so cowardly? This surprised Zheng Yue.
However, Zheng Yue was very afraid of trouble, so it would be best if he could join. He came here to collect intelligence about the Mechanical City. If possible, he hoped to do nothing. After all, he... had always been very serious about being lazy.
So Wujiu, who had a foggy mind, joined the gang with Zheng Yue.
I originally thought that after joining the gang, I would be able to enter the inner city under the gang's escort.
But the gang rules are that you have to earn your own contribution points to enter the inner city. Through the popular science of the gang members, Wujiu and Zheng Yue learned about the economic and monetary system here.
Zheng Yue found it very troublesome, so troublesome that he wanted to start the return roulette and go back to sleep.
But he was just thinking about it. Although he was lazy, the lazy guy was also shocked by the Mechanical City and wanted to go in and take a look.
So the two of them took on the gang’s first mission - collecting protection taxes.
They went to a place called Scarlet Village in the northern district and collected 1,500 points of protection tax from the mechanical people in the town. The rest all belonged to Wujiu and Zheng Yue.
Wujiu was reluctant at first, but this was the only mission he could take at the moment. As a gang member, he and Zheng Yue had only two choices:
One was to participate in a firefight with other gangs. The risk of death was too great, so Wujiu finally refused.
One is to collect protection tax, which is relatively safe. But Wujiu hates collecting protection tax. When he was a child, he was bullied by people in the lower class.
Zheng Yue had no moral baggage, and the mechanical tribes in Scarlet Village were also very weak. He planned to urge Wujiu to finish the matter quickly.
But when they arrived at Scarlet Village, they found something wrong. Another gang was already lying in ambush here.
Wujiu and Zheng Yue were so smart that they had already discovered the opponent's ambush.
The entire gang consisted of twelve armed mechanical people, who surrounded this small mechanical village.
The danger level of armed and unarmed mechanical tribes varies greatly.
Wujiu originally came to collect protection tax, but when he saw these armed mechanical tribes ravaging the unarmed mechanical tribes, he became quite angry.
However, Wujiu did not launch an attack immediately. He was still rational:
"The game has given us a career system, which must be to help us improve our corresponding levels. As you can see, there is a prestige value in our vision. I think if we just do some small fights and collect protection fees, it is completely meaningless and the improvement will be very slow."
Zheng Yue rubbed his sleepy eyes which had dark circles around them:
"Don't tell me that. I don't care. Just do it in the simplest, most effective, least complicated and least time-consuming way."
In order to make Wujiu understand his way of thinking, Zheng Yue said four "most" in one breath.
Wujiu said:
"Normally, we can't collect protection taxes in this situation. This place has been occupied by hostile forces. We have to ask for help, but what if we don't ask for help? Although you are lazy, a proud person like Yan Zizai will not take in a lazy person, right?"
Bai Wu told Wujiu the sequence of the monitoring team members, which was why Bai Wu arranged Wujiu and Zheng Yue to be together.
Because Bai Wu believes that these two are the ones with the highest combat power.
Zheng Yue didn't say anything, but his eyelids became heavier. Wujiu said:
"I plan to destroy them with the strength of the two of us."
Zheng Yue said in a slightly soft voice:
"My ability has two forms. The first form does not require me to fall asleep, but the second form... requires me to fall asleep. Remember... don't let me wake up and then let go to kill."
Zheng Yue looks lazy, but because of his laziness, his thinking is straightforward and efficient, which is not a contradiction.
Wujiu just wanted to kill the other party, so Zheng Yue went straight into a sleep state. In just a few seconds, Wujiu actually heard snoring.
He was a little confused about what Zheng Yue was doing. He was listening to Zheng Yue's mumbling instructions before he fell into a deep sleep:
"Don't... let me wake up... before the battle is over..."
The moment the words fell, Talent Sequence 18—Mirror Flower and Water Moon—was activated.
Wujiu didn’t know the function of this strongest sequence so far, but soon, he found that he was covered with a layer of armor. Although he didn’t know where it came from, it looked much more advanced than those mechanical weapons.
The armed mechanical forces on guard suddenly became alert because of an extremely powerful energy fluctuation coming from outside the Scarlet Village.
