"Ah."
Leave it to Fleming.
He looked at Fleming and said, "Since I left Yalilo VI, I have witnessed many Star Gods in the past year. You should know that the miracles of the Star Gods are often based on the Amber Age, and they only appear occasionally. But now, all the gods are beginning to be active in the same era."
Fleming understood what Alex meant and said, "In history, the activity of the gods often brings about the next disaster that covers the entire universe. The Emperor War is not even enough. The last time it was followed by the Plague of Joyous Locusts, and before that, it was the Twilight War."
He patted Alex on the shoulder and said, "We all have to be prepared."
"Yes."
The appearance of Tantao gave Alex a very bad feeling. The ancient beast had begun to become active, and was conducting experiments and plotting conspiracies. No one knew how terrible the danger would be outside the walls of Clipper's protection.
The universe they now know and are active in is only the part protected by Klipper, and what is outside of it? Is Greedy the only leader of the ancient beasts? These are unknown.
"Just finish the task at hand first."
…………
"Thank you for your help. The people of Sarsotu will remember it in their hearts!" Fleming met with Hanji. As for the people in the two cities, they also began to be thawed one after another. Because of the small population, Fleming would directly settle them on the planet owned by his family and provide them with minimum living allowance until they could become familiar with the cosmic civilization and become self-sufficient.
Of course, the political landscape will certainly change dramatically, and the former city lord may be blamed and judged for bringing about a devastating war, but these things have nothing to do with the Nameless Guest, the Star Train, and Alex. Their story will continue.
"If only Azir were a human, even a subhuman, I would give him a card."
Alex sighed as he sat in the Star Train. He didn't expect that the most valuable thing in the end was a worm, and it was related to the ancient beast. So this time he had to return empty-handed.
Dan Heng, Walter, Ji Zi and the unknown guest Erza were all helping to repair the train. The hole in the train body blown by Aha was filled up. Xing also sighed that this time he was a little gentler. The last time he directly blew the train into two. She was given a cold look by Pam because of this sentence.
However, some instruments and equipment still need to be debugged, and the train will need another three days before it can set off again smoothly.
"I feel like I missed out on 100 million." San Yue Qi ate the high-end dessert that the foundation gave to Alex and said with emotion: "Why wasn't I on the train when Aha came? You all saw the Star God with your own eyes. I was the only one who didn't. I'm a bit at a disadvantage."
"No, no, no, it's better not to meet." Xing's legs still weakened when she thought about it now. That chaotic feeling was too weird. She asked, "Alex, how free is Aha? No god would do that to blow up the Starry Sky Train."
"Aha's situation is very special." Alex said, "It can be said that most Star Gods are slaves to their fate, restricted by the rules of their fate and their own concepts, but Aha is defined, and whatever He wants to do is joy. So you can't define Him using ordinary Star Gods."
"Okay." Xing didn't want to mention that terrifying existence anymore, so he said, "Alex, when are you leaving?"
"Let's have lunch." Alex checked the time and said, "You need my help to thaw. I'll leave once the company's spaceship arrives."
I didn’t expect to encounter ancient beasts during the journey. I hope I can have a peaceful vacation in Tianyi 5 without any trouble.
Tianyi Wu, New Babylon.
The world was once affected by the star core, and the people in this world were born with the emotion of "fear". No one knew whether it was the influence of the star core or the mutation of genes. Without fear, they also lost their respect for the law and rule. New Babylon was undoubtedly one of the places with the worst public security in the universe.
Here people only believe in life and death - the living win and the dead lose.
There is government rule, but it is superficial. The judgment of the law cannot reach the strong. There is a unique order here. The strong are called "devils", just like some novels and literary works that depict the devil. The one who leads the devil is called "lord". They have their own territory, and there are various rules of ruling by blood on the territory. These people are the masters of this planet, controlling foreign trade and all resources.
To put it another way, this is a country ruled by "gangsters". Gangs of all sizes are constantly fighting each other, and the government forces are just playthings in front of them.
On the opposite side of the demons are the weak people living in abandoned cities, who may lose their lives at any time because of the demons' happiness or unhappiness, and a special group - the demon hunters.
"Kafka. New hunter, no registration information, no organization affiliation."
"She possesses the ability known as 'Word Spirit Technique', which allows her to use language to hypnotize people. She was most recently seen in the Riverlands of New Babylon, where she spoke with the great lord Sheed and took him away. There were 143 people present;"
"Then he made a detour to a tailor-made clothing store and bought a black coat, two white shirts, and a red dress. There were 6 people present. Then he went to a used record store and did not buy any items. There were 28 people present.
"Before she went to the Riverlands Police Station to claim her reward, she was last seen in Central Park with 2695 people present.
"We want Kafka's head, because the debt of murder must be paid with blood."
Alex looked at the wanted poster from the "devil" on the wall on the street, tore it off, rolled it up and put it in his pocket.
What a "popular" woman, wanted posters are posted everywhere. Alex smiled and shook his head, walking on the streets of New Babylon. The streets were very modern, with neon lights, roads and endless vehicles. However, behind the seemingly prosperous, there was a stench.
There are graffiti everywhere, homeless people setting up tents on the streets, excrement that can be stepped on if you are not careful, and needles everywhere. Even the signs of those street shops, if they were in Alex, more than half of them would not be allowed to open. Illegal drugs, organ trade, human trafficking and other things that are not allowed in the universe are openly opened on both sides of the road here.
After all, the most famous "specialty" of this planet is the death squads and mercenaries, the kind that can be killed directly for money. However, due to its small scale, the impact it can have on the entire universe is minimal.
"Welcome." Alex walked into a custom clothing store. The old man wearing glasses picked up a shotgun and pointed the gun at Alex, saying, "Are you buying clothes or robbing? If you want to buy clothes, you must pay a deposit of 1 credit points. If you don't want to buy, you can return it. I don't welcome poor people here."
Are the folk customs so simple? Alex smiled, took out the banknotes of credit from his pocket and put them on the counter, saying, "Customize a three-piece suit, made of gabardine."
The boss looked at the money on the table, put down his gun, and said, "Come over and measure the size."
Kafka said the clothes in this store were very good. She had also "taken" one herself. Alex also planned to customize a set. After he measured the data, the boss said, "Pay the full amount and come back in fifteen days to pick it up."
After Alex paid in cash, the boss said, "If you don't come to pick it up within 30 days, I will destroy the clothes."
"Are you afraid that I'll run away or die?" Alex asked with a smile. The boss glanced at the banknotes on the table and said, "Not many strangers here with large sums of cash can survive for more than a few days. You have a great figure. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Don't die easily."
"Thank you for your words." After receiving the handwritten pick-up note, Alex left the custom clothing store with a smile.
The next step is to go to the abandoned city. Alex looked at the time. It’s 11:00 am on Wednesday. It will only take ten minutes to get there.
Outside the bustling metropolis are cities that were once abandoned by war. Conflicts and wars often break out in this world, and the battles between lords almost never stop. People will not repair those abandoned cities, but leave them idle, allowing them to gradually become homes for homeless people and buffer zones when war comes.
11:12.
Alex placed a can at the door of the abandoned building, checked the time, and waited silently. Five minutes later, the crisp sound of footsteps came like music. He looked back, waved his hand, and said, "You're late. Didn't you say you'd come in two minutes?"
"It took a while." Kafka wiped the bloody rapier clean and put it away again. She smiled and said, "Some old troubles came up, and we didn't want them to interrupt our date, so we dealt with them first. Long time no see, Alex."
It didn't take long. Alex walked over and hugged Kafka, saying, "I'm glad you're okay. Nothing has happened since you came here."
In order to prevent being found again by Misty's gang, the Star Core Hunters cut off all means of communication. After being tricked before, Misty would definitely attack the Star Core Hunters and Elio again.
"No, I'm just a little bored." Kafka let go of her hand, looked at Alex and said, "Everyone is bored. It's no different from being in prison. Especially Silver Wolf. Elio doesn't allow her to play online games, so she's waiting for you to come and freeze her to get through these boring days."
Silver Wolf was the only one who was addicted to being frozen by Alex, and would actively ask her to be frozen whenever she had something to do. She had previously asked Alex to let her come out to work on the new version, and after 40 hours she could be frozen for days to wait for the next version update. Anyway, she had smart companion hosting activities and daily routines.
"I'm beginning to suspect she has some weird habit. How could anyone want to be cold every day?" Alex rolled his eyes. This girl was indeed unusual. He said, "Let's go and see where you live now."
"No hurry." Kafka said with a smile, "I haven't returned the favor yet, how about we spend some time together for a while? I have a safe house, let's go there first."
Alex put one arm around Kafka's waist and said, "So urgent?"
"We need to check." Kafka glanced down meaningfully and said, "Has anyone touched my boy?"
——【Mysterious】Interfering——
After the passion faded... it was still passion. Kafka was a passionate woman, but this time Alex obviously found that she was a little different. He couldn't put it into words, but compared to the past, she was more involved and came in faster this time.
"Before, I thought I might die there. I thought about not being able to see you or anyone else." Kafka lay on the bed, drawing circles on Alex's chest with her fingers, and said, "I don't know why, but I felt a little uncomfortable and regretful. I wonder if this is also a kind of fear."
Alex put his hands behind his head, looked at the weapons and ammunition hanging on the walls of the safe house, and said, "Not really. Maybe it's just sadness and sorrow. Fear is something that goes deeper into the soul."
"I'm really curious about what fear feels like."
Kafka smiled and asked, "How long will you stay this time?"
"It depends. I'll go back once there's a result from Beloberg." Alex felt the softness against his body and briefly described his recent experience. "Elliot said he would cooperate with me, but he disappeared."
"He won't show up again until it's safe. Okay, private time, no more talking about Elio."
Kafka got off the bed, put on an apron instead of clothes, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll make something to nourish you."
"Can you please put on your clothes properly?"
"Don't you like it? It seems not." Kafka squinted her eyes and smiled, saying: "You don't need to be patient here, just vent your desires in time. New Babylon is a world that does not require restraint, Alex~"
“It feels weird here,” Alex said.
"In some places, poverty is the original sin." Kafka said as she looked for food with her back to Alex, "In New Babylon, the only original sin is weakness. As long as you are strong, you can have everything without restraint, including wealth, status, resources, and women. All 'demons' believe that the strong are qualified to rise to the top. As long as you have the ability, you can overthrow the powerful and become the new lord. But if you are weak."
Kafka paused and said, "For the weak, this place is hell. Your chastity, your organs, your life, your time, your life span, everything is controlled by the strong. The whole universe doesn't like people from the Heavenly Clothes Five. Even though I was born here, I don't like it very much."
"So you became a demon hunter?" It was a bit unbearable. After restraining himself for a while, Alex got out of bed and hugged Kafka from behind.
"That's another story. Do you want to know?"
"think."
Kafka put down the knife, turned around in Alex's arms, jumped lightly, sat on the kitchen counter, and said with a sly smile: "Then find a way to make me speak."
Eating with Kafka was a challenge. After a long struggle, they finally put on their clothes and started eating.
"If you want to know my past, I'll take you for a walk these few days and you'll know."
Late at night, Kafka took Alex to the gathering place of the Star Core Hunters, which was not in an abandoned city, but in a high-rise apartment in the city.
"Ah, hurry up, I can't hold it any longer." Upon seeing Alex, Silver Wolf jumped up and said, "Quick, quick, quick, quick, give me your phone!"
"What are you doing?"
How is this the same as asking your parents for their cell phones? Alex took out his cell phone and said, "With your ability, isn't it the same to use other people's cell phones?"
After connecting to the Internet and seeing the signal, the internet-addicted girl Silver Wolf, who had been disconnected from the Internet for a long time, finally seemed to be resurrected. She let out a long sigh and said, "It's different. This is not an IP issue. No one knows what means those fictional historians have used to lock you down, but you are different. They can't figure out anything about you. Using your phone to play games will definitely not be tracked. Ah, I'm so suffocated. I can finally fly in the ocean of the Internet."
After that, Silver Wolf took Alex's phone, leaned against the bay window, put on headphones and started playing. Alex looked at her speechlessly, and Kafka shrugged beside him. Alex looked at Blade and found that Blade was scribbling on the book. He thought Blade was copying scriptures, but he found that he was actually drawing drawings.
Weapon drawings.
"Here it comes." Ren was immersed in his own world. He said, "I remembered why the wooden fish could make me quiet. Because it was like hammering iron."
Ren handed the drawings he had accumulated over the past few days to Alex and said, "I have already designed the weapons for the two girls in your family. As for forging them, I am just a swordsman holding a sword now. Before I wash away my sins, I am not qualified to hold a hammer. Xianzhou and the company have a way to make them."
"Thanks."
The sickle and the spear sword. They are so precise, using nanometers as the basic unit to design weapons. They are worthy of being forged by the gods. Alex took a look and was very surprised. These two weapons not only have the functions of short-range and long-range, but also have "intelligence". Like Yan Qing's flying sword, they can be controlled by hands.
"Xi'er must be so happy now. Now she has the light cone and a special weapon." Alex said with a smile: "I met Dan Heng when I came here. He was very concerned about your safety."
After a moment of silence, Blade snorted in response and said, "I hope he's not being lazy."
Blade, who seemed to be the most violent, was actually the quietest in private. After his attacks became less frequent recently, he became even more silent, and no one knew what he was thinking about all day.
In fact, Alex has the ability to "kill" Blade by throwing him into IX's body, but he feels that Blade's goal now may not be as simple as death. As Ying Xing's memories of the past gradually become clearer, he may have other wishes.
"Where's Sam? I don't see him."
"We went underground to dig and repair the mines." Kafka said, "Last time, Blade and Sam were the most seriously injured. Blade doesn't need treatment due to his physical condition, but Sam will need some time to recover."
Alex nodded. At this moment, Silver Wolf, who had just started the game, suddenly made a dissatisfied sound, threw the phone back to Alex, and said, "There is news for you."
Silver Wolf jumped down and went to find a device to transfer Alex's message source so that he wouldn't be disturbed by messages while playing games.
Alex took the phone and saw Bronya's daily greeting and situation report. Behind a rustic emoticon, there was a message about the recent progress of the Beloberg.
Bronya:
Dear Uncle: Everything goes well. Professor Latio gave his first class at the university today, and the response was enthusiastic, but after the get out of class, many students left crying. Even so, they still rushed to sign up for the professor's next class.
Ms. Ruan Mei arrived at the Beloberg today. She is not too interested in Skynet. She mentioned that her uncle in the laboratory would personally arrange it. I have arranged a quiet villa for her to stay. However, she did not come alone. She also brought many cute cats and cookies. Please forgive me for using this informal name to refer to those [Ruan Mei creations] that have not yet been formalized. They are really very cute. Ms. Ruan Mei hopes that Beloberg can give these cats and cookies a place to live. I have already arranged it.
By the way, Ms. Ruan Mei asked me to tell you, "I will study hard to learn how to fall in love with someone." Original words.
"Ruan Mei..." Kafka leaned close to Alex, smiled, and said softly, "It's Ruan Mei from the Genius Club. Are you close friends?"
Chapter 231 Demons and Hunters
"It's not a very good relationship, just a cooperative one." Alex has seen a lot of ups and downs, and said lightly: "The people in the genius club all have quirks, and it's not easy to get along with them."
"Oh? The Star Core Hunter also has a quirk."
"To be honest," Alex turned to look at Kafka and said, "Compared to the people in the Genius Club, your personalities are nothing."
The Genius Club is full of talented people. The "achievements" of the several crazy people among them are not as good as those of the entire Star Core Hunters combined. Ruan Mei's indifferent personality is not easy to get along with. In comparison, Heita's tsundere, not arrogant, is the easiest type to get along with.
"Hey~" Kafka took two steps to the side and started pouring tea, saying, "You mean, you are more special than me?"
Silver Wolf turned back with his hands in his pockets, looking at the moon outside the window and chewing bubble gum, while Blade was concentrating and pretended not to hear anything.
"Just kidding." Alex replied, "His peak is much worse than yours. He's not my type."
"Have some tea." Kafka smiled and brought the tea over. She said, "I'm not very interested in the people in the Genius Club. Let's change the subject."
The Star Core Hunters were living a very uncomfortable life here. In order to prevent the people with the mystery from coming again, they lived a simple life. Moreover, they didn't know when it would end. Of course, the Star Core Hunters were not just the four of them. Elio had many people under his command who could be called upon. For those people, Elio's usual approach was that as long as the goal was achieved, it didn't matter if they died.
He is still in action, but he has hidden a few of his trump cards. It may not be because of feelings, but it is difficult to find personnel of this level again.
"It's so boring." After Silver Wolf transferred the new power from Alex's phone, he held his game console, glanced out the window, and said with his fingers moving constantly, "I have already beaten Tetris several times. There is nothing to play. I made up a few games myself, but I got bored of them very quickly."
"You're going to stay here every day?"
Alex stood by the window and looked at the bustling street scene. Suddenly, he saw a few rockets streaking across the sky. He groaned and asked, "Is there a war going on here every day?"
"There's an Iron Dome system in the city. We're used to it. There are attacks every day." As soon as Silver Wolf finished speaking, the anti-aircraft weapons were activated. Soon the attacking rockets were shot down and turned into fireworks. She said, "Just stay here every day. We can't go anywhere until we get news from Elio."
The last attack on the Star Core Hunters was quite severe. All four of them were almost wiped out. Kafka was cooking for Blade and Silver Wolf in the kitchen. The two of them were now dependent on Kafka for food and shelter. If Kafka didn't come back at noon, they would just go hungry.
I can't live without a mother.
