Holding his food box in one hand and chopsticks in the other, the blond young man asked him to sit down on the sofa.
He sat down across from her in a carefree manner.
With your arms outstretched and resting on the back of the sofa, this is a very relaxing sitting position.
"Where is this place? Who are you? Why did you come to me?"
Darcy asked.
"Are you sure you want to start now? I still suggest you finish your food."
"OK then"
Looking at the other person's handsome face, Darcy was not sure whether he had any grudge against him. If this was his last meal, he should indeed enjoy it well.
"OK then"
He began to concentrate on eating the food in his hand.
After a while, footsteps were heard suddenly. Darcy looked over unexpectedly and found another young man walking towards them from the direction they were coming from.
Before I got close, the young man's voice came over:
"I just arrived in Worthing DC, why did you call me here... Oh shit, this is Darcy Easington, you caught him, tomorrow's front page will be exciting."
"Or there is no news at all," Tom Cruise said nonchalantly, crossing his legs. "After all, who knows if it will affect the stock price?"
Hearing the indifferent tone of the two people, Darcy didn't say anything.
The blond young man made way for him, and the young man who came later took a can of orange juice from the refrigerator before sitting down opposite Darcy.
"If you're hungry, there are sandwiches in the fridge"
"No, I'll just have a can of orange juice. This VC flavor is addictive."
The two young men exchanged a few words before their attention turned to Darcy.
Just as he had finished his food, he stood up and threw the food box and chopsticks into the trash can nearby. After coming back, he sat up straight and faced the two young men calmly.
"What's wrong with this guy?" asked his companion.
"It seems like he has severe mysophobia or obsessive-compulsive disorder," Tom said, pointing to his head.
"Wow, doesn't that mean we can get any information we want by just showing him a few videos that would trigger his OCD?"
"Ugh, you're so vicious." Tom Cruise obviously knows what videos can cause obsessive compulsive disorder attacks.
"Hahaha"
Darcy couldn't hold back at the relaxed attitude of the two, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Who are you and what do you want to know from me?"
"Here we go," Tom Cruise said, tilting his head.
"OK," the companion made an OK gesture, without doing anything else, a light flashed on his hand and hit Darcy, scaring him.
I touched my body a few times and found nothing unusual, but I found that I seemed to be shrouded in a hazy light.
"Wang Defa!? What the hell is this? Who are you guys?!"
"Now we ask the questions and you answer them. Question 1: Do you know the information behind the witch attack that happened in the mysterious country a few months ago?"
"What? The witch attack? Of course I don't know. Wasn't that done by the thieves?
What the hell is this? Why did it change color? "
Before he could finish his words, Darcy noticed that the light surrounding him turned red.
"What luck! The first target hit the bull's eye," the companion restrained his smile and said in a serious tone that Darcy felt a little scared.
"Or maybe it's just misfortune. I sincerely hope that I can dig up the information with more effort. That would at least mean that there are not so many bad guys in this country..."
Turning to Darcy, Tom said seriously:
"Congratulations, you have the opportunity to experience authentic Kung Pao Chicken"
……
The process of old lady Ingrid taking medicine is a miracle for others, but it is a daily routine for Yang Sheng.
So the next day after signing the contract, he left the world of "Dharma Ending Age" because of his own affairs.
He has drawn a lot of force from the daily armed forces of Guanying Mountain in the "Misty Realm". It's still okay in other border areas, but in the airspace where space rifts are frequent, daily patrols are stretched to the limit, so Yang Sheng sometimes has to guest-star in the patrol team.
Now his "submarine airship" is not with him, but it is not a big problem, because the "Iron Muscle Suit" has the ability to fly and position in the fog.
This is a very easy task for Yang Sheng. The flying speed of the "Iron Muscle Battle Suit" is much faster than that of the "Submarine Airship". The patrol mission can be completed in about half a day or at most a day. He also has time to go to the "Eighties" or "Mother Earth World" to maintain his secret garden.
However, two hours after setting out, he encountered a rather violent space-time rift. Limited by its area and material, the protective capability of the "Iron Muscle Suit" was much weaker than that of the "Submarine Airship", but it also had its own advantages, which was that it could perform [Flash] with almost zero cooling time.
By using high-speed continuous [Flash], he can also dodge unexpected spatial rifts.
But Yang Sheng might not have checked the almanac before going out today. After several [flashes], he actually flashed into an unobserved, invisible space-time rift and died on the spot.
……
Flying stealthily beneath the gloomy, low gray clouds, Yang Sheng cursed for a while before calming down.
Focus your attention on the large area below, which is obviously the area of city ruins.
In the clouds, the dense and wandering electric lights gathered into several thick thunders, making huge crackling sounds and striking around him several times. Yang Sheng instinctively lowered his flying altitude to avoid suffering "divine punishment."
When approaching the sky above the city, heavy rain poured down on Lin. However, for Yang Sheng, who was protected by the "barrier", countless raindrops were blocked several meters away. He did not feel the damage of wind and rain at all. It was just that his vision was affected by the rain and became a little blurry.
The city below is indeed a ruin, a bit like the scene in the movie short "Humanity Disappeared in XXX Years". The whole city is covered with creeping plants. A few trees that may have been green belts in the past are standing tall and strong. All the high-rise buildings with a height of more than 20 floors are broken in the middle of the building. The green frames of different heights on the ground can vaguely make out the outline of cars.
Although it was not necessary, Yang Sheng still followed his instinct to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Flying between the buildings whose exteriors were mostly green with some black impurities, the "spiritual power" finally found a space that was relatively dry and intact inside, and disappeared in the pouring rain with a [flash].
The next second, a light flashed inside a building covered with a thick biomass shell, and a red and gold armored "Iron Muscle Battle Suit" appeared out of thin air.
This is a 10-story building covered with reinforced glass. Perhaps because the materials used in its construction were particularly strong, except for the top and bottom floors which were invaded by vines, the interiors of all other floors are basically well preserved.
And it was very dry inside.
Under the illumination of the headlights on the shoulders of the "Iron Muscle Suit", one can see yellowed paper documents covered with thick dust scattered on the ground, and various furniture, furnishings, and semi-tools in the room that are also covered with thick dust.
"It's a bit messy, it doesn't look like an orderly evacuation"
"There is no body..."
"The dust on the wall glass is a foot thick, completely sealing the glass... It must have been hundreds of years, and the whole building is covered with creeping plants..."
"Um……"
With both feet suspended in the air, floating in mid-air, the internal space of the mezzanine floor including the space above the suspended ceiling is less than 4 meters, and this height is very telling.
The intelligent life forms that once lived here were similar to humans, at least in terms of height.
Yang Sheng moved his hands together and released seven or eight detection spells. Several special effects that looked like scanning lights inside a scanner flashed back and forth in the dark space.
The information that came back did not contain any danger signals.
"..."
"I'd better wear it..."
The cautious monster said this in his heart.
0121
I experienced the same distracted state as before, unable to judge or remember what I had experienced. I only remembered a flash of yellow light in front of my eyes.
Returning to normal again, Darcy found that the young man named Jerry was placing himself in a chair that restricted his movements.
My hands and feet have been fixed to the corresponding racks, and the other party is tying the last few belts that block my chest and abdomen.
"What is this doing?"
Darcy twisted his body a few times and found that he was fixed very firmly and could not break free.
"Ah, you're awake"
“I’m asking you
What are you going to do to me?"
"Of course we're interrogating you. We have the ability to determine whether what you say is true or false, and we also have the ability to directly read your memory. If you keep telling lies, we will give up the interrogation and do the latter."
Darcy: “…”
He remembered the scene in which the other party had used some means to cover him in a yellow light, but the light turned red after he asked just one question.
That's their lie detection method?
"Do you think we are stupid? Since we can read your memory directly, why do we have to go through an extra procedure to inquire? Of course, there are risks in reading your memory directly. First, we have to drill five holes in your head, five holes that my fingers can directly touch your brain. This step is very safe. We will inject anesthetics and it will not hurt. It will just leave five holes in your skull. It seems that you can go to a plastic surgery hospital to fill them with other means, and you can return to normal afterwards. But the memory is not read by some sophisticated instrument but by my hand. The process of reading the memory will cause irreversible damage to the brain of the recipient, and the usual result is that he becomes an idiot."
"While reading your memory, Tom will ask you questions. You don't have to answer these questions, but your brain will automatically load the information related to the questions, and I, who am reading your memory, will see it..."
At this point, Jerry fastened the last strap around his chest and abdomen, arranged each strap neatly, patted his shoulder, as if to comfort him, and continued:
"...Although I don't know the specifics, we have encountered cases where people knew the relevant intelligence but were not involved in the case. So for your own good, don't be stubborn. When Tom asks you questions later, answer whatever you know. I don't know how you feel, but the state of saliva flowing down your chest, losing the ability to process emotions and memories, and just storing all the information like a diary... I think dying a hundred times is better than this. This is the cruelest punishment and end for those who claim to be human beings... especially those who are superior to others."
Jerry looked at him seriously.
Darcy didn't really care about this threat... Well, he cared a lot, especially when his saliva was flowing down to his chest. He refused to simulate his own state in his mind, losing the ability to process emotions and memory. He was also afraid that it would mean that he would become a bag of meat and no longer be "Darcy Easington".
Darcy's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was pale.
"You...you can really read memories?"
"Of course, we have regulations. Although it is forbidden to use normally, there are exceptions when encountering anti-humanity incidents."
"You? Who are you and what organization do you belong to?"
"Well... I'm not afraid to tell you that we are the Crown Eagle Mountain force or community. Most of our members are the subjects of the Marquis of Stuart who fled Yinglun during the Victorian era, and a small number of residents of the Crown Eagle Mountain community... You don't understand what I'm saying, right?"
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. There's no need to make up such words to tell me..." Darcy responded. Because of the differences in the world, there was no Queen Victoria in the history of this world.
Jerry shrugged.
……
The rain kept falling with no sign of stopping.
Yang Sheng has left the building where he took shelter from the rain and is moving in the rain with his shield.
Although his inspiration, intuition and all means of sensing told him that there was no danger, he still felt something was strange.
Because since he entered the building, he didn't see anything that should have appeared.
Rats, bugs.
Although the rain was heavy, in this scene, there was no trace of another kind of creature that should exist in the outside world.
bird.
"Adventure" used his mental power to conduct a large-scale mental scan, focusing on all the eaves and tree branches. Not to mention birds and bird nests, there was not even the slightest trace of nests. Except for the ridiculously thick "black mud" on the surface of the buildings, the entire city was full of plants, plants, and plants.
"So, this is why the humans who once lived here voluntarily abandoned the city?"
Inside the previous building, Yang Sheng saw some well-preserved photos. The intelligent creatures living in this city, at least in appearance, were not much different from humans.
He also checked the cars. A small number of them that were kept in a dry place were still intact. Their internal structures were within his understanding and they should be fuel-powered. This meant that the humans who once lived here had technology comparable to that on Earth, with a difference of about 50 years.
Holding up the shield and floating in the air in the rain, Yang Sheng crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
"Let's make a hypothesis. Humans have abandoned more than just this city... Other cities have also been abandoned like this one."
"There are two choices. Either go underground and build a huge living space underground."
"But living underground requires more complex technology, and it is not something that the species that have grown up on the surface can solve in a short period of time."
"Either we go into space... Earth's technology seems to be just one step away from space travel. As long as we master controlled nuclear fusion, we can solve most of the problems in space travel."
"so……"
Yang Sheng looked up at the dark sky.
"The answer will be in space... in low Earth orbit?"
He touched his chin and pondered it. The iron fingers and iron chin made a slight metallic friction sound.
