from Xingyuan

"Come with me."

The blacksmith pulled N4 to the side.Stated things briefly.

"...Well, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

N4 folded his arms, slightly surprised by what the blacksmith said:

"If it's true according to what you said, then someone in your family should have come to Dragon Satellite through the portal a long time ago—is there anyone missing in your family?"

"I... Li Aoz's father."

The blacksmith recalled a moment and said:

"Li Mingji, male, was 46 years old when he disappeared. He was of medium build. He had been working in a fertilizer factory. Later, the factory was laid off and laid off. He had to borrow a training loan and went to work in the south—then lost contact. The time of disappearance happened to be when I went to Two years ago when there was no trace of humanity."

"Li Mingji...that name is really bad."

N4 shrugged.

"Isn't your own company also called Mingji Heavy Industry?"

"The nature is different, this is to integrate into the frost plating market."

N4 held his chin and said:
"The time of disappearance is basically the same as the time when the portal was activated. It is unlikely to be a coincidence—is there anything special about your father?"

"No, never."

The blacksmith shook his head:
"He is a very ordinary worker. He looks very ordinary, speaks dull, doesn't like to socialize, and his work is only at the level of ordinary workers."

"Then why are you so beautiful?"

"...It seems to be oh."

When N4 said this, the blacksmith suddenly noticed something was wrong.

When Li Aoz was a mortal, he had a [Charm] of 13 at the beginning.

What is this concept?
Yawen's kind of pampered little beauty can only reach 11 o'clock by relying on make-up and careful grooming, avoiding labor, and dressing extremely fashionable.

Without any props and cosmetics, Li Ozi, who has no makeup, has a full 13 points!
Just by looking at his appearance, he can surpass 90.00% of ordinary people.

As long as he can speak a little bit and find the right way, Li Aoz doesn't need to work at all, and he can live a very good life relying on his appearance for the rest of his life.

According to Li Aoz's recollection, although his grandfather had a grandpa who was a high official in Shuangpin, his grandma was only at the level of ordinary people. His father's generation was all farmers, and his appearance was rough, not good-looking at all.

But in Li Ozi's generation, the elder sister is beautiful and has been surrounded by boys since she was a child, and the younger sister was spoiled by boys and girls since she was a child. In the capital city of Frost, she dropped out of school before finishing high school and mixed with a bunch of spirited girls. The friends around her are basically eager to send her money and food.

Li Aoz is purely unlucky, his external features are too obvious, his skin is pale, and he is discriminated against when looking for a job, but his facial features are the best among the three children.

Such an obvious change in appearance, so that the mother always felt that their generation in the family was genetically mutated.

But think about it now...

"If Li Mingji has concealed his appearance, then it would explain why you were so beautiful from birth."

As N4 said, he joked:
"I thought you were really a grassroots hero, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of 'I am a hero' in the end. It seems that no one can escape the blood lineage theory."

The blacksmith was silent for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and asked:

"Is it possible that the portal was not placed by Li Mingji?"

"Then you mean..."

"Void," the blacksmith speculated: "Void has permeated the layout from the very beginning, invading the abyss, and the next destination is likely to be the blue star."

This statement made N4 think for a moment.

"All I can say is, it's possible."

N4 did not immediately deny:
"Whether Void is the culprit, it is also possible that your father "Li Mingji" is the object of Void's choice. However, the specific result is not certain. It seems that before the entropy, the Four Kingdoms thought that the sky that swept the world was Because of the misuse of technology by people of the old age."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't know him very well."

The blacksmith said indifferently.

This is not to disassociate the relationship. The relationship between the predecessor Li Aozzi and his family members was not very harmonious. His mother preferred his daughter to prevent him from taking the college entrance examination. His sister and sister used him as a cash machine. Only his grandfather, who is a policeman, has a good relationship with him.

After Li Mingji's mysterious disappearance, everyone's impression of him became worse. The family that was not well-to-do became even more impoverished.

Of course, with the rise of time travel, everything has completely changed. Li Aoz's dissatisfaction with his original family and his individualistic attitude prevented him from participating in the investigation of the subsequent events.

As for Li Mingji's question - if N4 hadn't mentioned it again, it would have taken the blacksmith more than an hour to even think of the name.

"We'll talk about this later."

Blacksmiths do not have the keen insight and long-term insight that Li Oz has, which is a quality of the soul.

In other words, almost all of Leoz's best qualities are in Polina.

But the blacksmith never wanted Polina to intervene in these complicated matters. Li Ozi has been torn apart, so let him disappear completely. They who have inherited his ability and memory, it is better to live an ordinary life without contending with the world .

From the blacksmith's point of view, Polina was just a whim, as long as she returned to the good living environment, within a few days, she would feel regretful and ridiculous for her previous impulsive immaturity.

Young people are always like this, their thoughts change faster than the weather in the mountains, and they can turn from sunny to cloudy to rainy and then sunny in one afternoon.

"Let's not talk about my affairs first... Li Mingji's problem, I will naturally investigate, but you——N4, what do you plan to do in the future?"

asked the blacksmith suspiciously.

Until now, he didn't know what N4 was thinking?
"Me? Dear Li Aozzi, it's not the first time we've met each other. Don't you know what I think?"

N4 rolled up his long gray hair, and the implanted nerve cords at the root shone slightly brightly:
"This is my avatar in the colony suit. You [Master] use the colony-suit vanguard as a puppet weapon, while we [biochemists] use it as a tool. This is the difference between us."

"So your body is still somewhere else?"

"exactly."

The blacksmith didn't continue to ask questions.

The equipment of N4 has the level of the Zeta order. As for her purpose, the blacksmith knows that's it. For some knowledge achievements, she will definitely get involved with the void.

It doesn't matter, after all, whether it is N4 or Azure Star, the blacksmith is determined to give up everything related to Li Aoz.

Even if the universe burns and the abyss of stars boils, it has nothing to do with him.

"Then, good luck."

Said the blacksmith.

N4 blinked his big eyes, looked at him and said:
"Leo Oz, five years ago, I gave you this body with your name on it - it was about 9 steps tall! And I placed you in Gufeng Village. I wanted to protect you , Place you, wait until later to make plans, or even conquer this planet."

"I'm tired." The blacksmith said lightly: "For me, all this is over. I'm tired of the journey."

"You have become decadent, is it because your life is too peaceful?"

"I'm just tired of the endless fighting and action. I'm human too. I also have pleasure and burnout. This may not be the best place to retire, but where else can I choose?"

The blacksmith shook his head:
"I'm exhausted, N4, and I don't have any hope for the future. I've seen too much in the past. It took me only 8 years to complete what ordinary people have done for hundreds of years, but I never really enjoyed life."

"For Xingyuan, for Daotu, even if you have been to the universe, don't you feel a little bit moved?"

"Li Ozi used to be more passionate than you."

said the blacksmith.

'But I'm not Lee Oz. '

Let Leo Zi disappear alone.

"Since you have made a choice, I don't force you to continue to accompany me in the plan."

N4 shrugged:

"But your body, I have to remind you."

"Remind what?" the blacksmith said calmly.

"Although this body was picked up by the side of the road, it has the strength of the Yota-level. But as far as I know, there are not many people on this planet with the power of the Yota-level."

N4 said lightly:

"Nine of them are from the powerful people in the Kingdom Council - the High Table."

"You mean to say that my body comes from one of the Nine Knights of the High Table?"

"Very likely." N4 said: "As one of the real power holders in the only kingdom of Dragon Satellite, but he is lying on the side of the road in a state of embarrassment like garbage, it is inevitable... it will make people daydream, right?"

"Political persecution, failure in struggle, tragic assassination, key defeat... There are many possibilities, and one of the real rulers of this planet will be forced to go into exile?"

N4 said with interest:
"Although you long for An Ning's old age, An Ning may not find you, especially now that you have taken back so many things that belong to you. The Fermi Institute will not let you go."

"Is this also your plan? Deliberately lead me out and regain my arcane energy and characteristics..."

"It was an accident."

N4 grinned:
"Would you believe me if I said that?"

"...that doesn't matter."

The blacksmith's eyes turned slightly cold.

——N4 really did something behind his back.

This woman can't stay, and he wants to return to a peaceful life. N4 knows that there are too many details about him, and he has also faintly noticed the matter of the high table.

She must die!

The blacksmith was not in a hurry, as the other party said, [Biochemist]'s reproductive equipment was just a tool and could be discarded at any time, and her body must still be admiring her from a distance.

Instead of scaring the enemy, and possibly revealing the truth that he is not "Li Aoz", the blacksmith is more inclined to find out the existence of the other party's body and completely kill the other party.

Although N4 is useful to Li Oz, what does it have to do with blacksmiths?
Even if a god comes over to prevent him from living in seclusion, he will kill him silently.

N4 squinted and looked at him with a smile.

It seemed that she had sensed the blacksmith's hostility, and her narrowed eyes were faintly oozing with coldness.

"Dear Li Aoz, since we have nothing to do with each other, we will part ways in the future - I won't disturb you, and you'd better not hinder me."

"... each other each other."

The atmosphere between the two gradually turned to freezing point. With the rupture of the alliance in the past, the contradiction between the two quickly surfaced.

The blacksmith believes that N4 has its own handle.

N4 was afraid of Li Aoz's fighting power.

"Hello! You have been talking for a long time!"

Polina came over excitedly, holding two baked potatoes in her hand:
"Clang clang clang! I was bored just now, digging around, I didn't expect to dig out such a good thing! Uncle blacksmith, Ms. N4, do you want to try it?"

The tense atmosphere dissipated immediately.

N4 took out her pocket watch casually, and the hands turned into three little snakes curled up completely. She looked at Polina, but said to the blacksmith:
"The rain has stopped, there is no need for me to take you on the rest of the road."

"Eh? Are you saying goodbye here?"

Polina was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked:

"Ms. N4, won't you act with us?"

"My ostensible identity is still a member of the Fermi Institute, miss."

N4 smiled slightly, turned around and walked a few steps towards a road in the grotto, then stopped again:
"It's based on your courage and character, let me give you a piece of advice, miss."

Polina was puzzled, but still nodded:
"Please say."

"Mass rain will only fall when the void is active."

N4 said lightly:

"That rain is man-made, and apart from the snake watches that are suddenly scattered all over the world, there are almost no means to predict the quality of the rain."

"The only thing that is certain is that the rain essentially appeared to destroy the void."

"However, although the void creatures were completely killed after the mass rain, the army of the kingdom often approached, and they seemed to have been searching for the source of the rain..."

N4 seemed to want to say something else, but a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the cliff, tearing apart the sky and illuminating the world.

rumbling...

N4 closed his mouth, was silent for a moment, and said:

"Probably so."

She glanced at the blacksmith and said:
"Whether you can return to a peaceful life, you know in your own heart. The landmines are buried there, and no one cares about them at ordinary times, but if they are triggered, you will never be able to return to peace."

After that, she turned and left, and quickly disappeared from sight.

"The source of the rain..."

Polina frowned, still thinking about N4's words.

"Don't think about it."

The blacksmith took the potato from her hand and took a bite:
"The rain stopped, I'll take you and Nail back, take a good bath, sleep for a night, don't think about anything else."

"What about the dead..." Polina asked
"Let's talk about it the next day." The blacksmith said lightly, "You are all a group of children who are making troubles everywhere, and the parents probably have to go missing for two or three days before they can react."

"Before then, did I hide the truth about their deaths?"

"It will take a while." The blacksmith said: "Besides, letting everyone know about the Fermi Institute is not a good thing, and it may even lead to death."

"But, the parents of these people can't be kept in the dark, right? Their children died in the hands of the research institute, but they didn't even know who the murderer was. They went out together, but I was the only one who came back safely... ..."

"That's not what you should think about."

The blacksmith said indifferently:
"Your grandfather is very powerful in the local area. It's nothing to suppress these things. As for the matter of the Fermi Institute, you can talk to him. The adults find a way to handle everything."

"I……"

"Don't even think about it."

The blacksmith grabbed the remaining potato, stuffed it into the opponent's mouth, and said:
"This is not an era of telling the truth. The more people know the truth, the easier it is for them to lose the existing order."

"This is society, with lies and self-deception, maintaining a fragile balance."
