black sky

A good word, said through Say Yang's mouth, no matter how it sounds, it is not very serious.But Truss had known him too long to know what he was.The more you react, the more interesting he finds it, so the best way is to act as if you didn't hear it, and don't give him any emotional feedback.When he feels monotonous and boring, it will be fine.

In a sense, this method works, because it is good news for someone like Say Yang who does not play cards according to common sense, as long as it does not make him even more crazy.

But in another sense, this method is still useless——

After all, it's been more than 40 years, and Say Young's mental illness hasn't started to feel boring.

Chus looked calm, and automatically removed those unnecessary words in his mind, leaving only the important points.He stared at the nearest screen, scanning the bright blue characters on it.

Those characters are by no means commonly used information processing codes, otherwise Truss would be able to read them all at a glance.

They are spreading all over the screen in a strange combination. At first glance, they can make people's brains "buzz".

"It's been encrypted." Tang is also considered a capable person in this area, but not as experienced as the one who came out of the space prison. "This is not what we often use."

The training camp was still affiliated to the military department in Chusi's time, so what they had to learn at that time included various encryption methods that the military department might come into contact with.

Later, the training camp was transferred to the security building, and what they learned was relatively limited, but they still had to know what was most commonly used by the military department and what was commonly used at the next level.

I have been exposed to a lot in actual tasks, and I have almost developed a sixth sense for these.

The one on the screen in front of him looked more awkward than any other, not to mention Tang and the others, and Chus was sure that this was definitely not within the reach of the training camp or even the military.

"Like a mutation of a spider's code." Tang rubbed the back of his head, finished his judgment with a serious face, and added with his mouth curled up, "Okay, I made a wild guess."

However, these garbled combinations didn't stay on the screen for long, and were instantly refreshed almost as soon as it reached the end.

After jumping and flashing for about ten times, all those garbled combinations became normal readable words:

Signal source captured successfully

Signal source attribute: double layer

Layer 86206 signal source: 018-[-]

Layer 50001 signal source: [-]

Processing method: clear or lock

Seeing that the attribute is a double-layer signal source, Chu Si understood.The so-called double-layer attribute means that a signal source puts on another layer of fake skin and goes out to bluff and deceive.The signal source on the first layer is the body, and the second layer is the skin.

"I just took a look at the trajectory of the signal source. It's very chic. Every time before setting off, I have to go around this old Barney Fort to spray paint, disguise myself as 50001, and leave with one touch without stopping at all." Sae Yang roughly explained, "Take this place as a transition point."

"86206-018," Chuss looked at it with his arms folded for a while, and muttered, "It looks familiar."

But this is by no means a good sign. There are not many signal sources familiar to Chus. He either deals with the military and the government all day long, or deals with space prisons or various alien separatist forces.

A layer of signal source is any one of them, and the fun will be a little bit bigger.

Chu Si glanced at Say Yang, saw that he hadn't moved, so he simply reached out and knocked a few keys over him.

The entire system froze for a moment, and a line of prompts popped up on the center screen: "Loading the 36th edition of the planetary city map."

Saye lowered his eyelids, and his eyes flicked from Chus's hands, "The sir's hands are stretched out very long."

Chus didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he didn't say much, he just let go of his hands and lazily propped himself on the edge of the console, casually Chus crossed over to control the system under his nose.

A complicated version of the city's miniature bird's-eye view map was loaded. After Chuss pressed a few keys, he pressed his finger on one of them without letting go, and raised his chin at Sae Yang, "Please lift your Finger, touch the boot area."

"Does touching it count as meritorious service?" Saye turned his head and asked.

Chu Si: "If you don't touch you, get out of the way."

Occupying the most critical position on the operating table but not doing anything, he insisted on moaning, and he didn't know what he was trying to figure out.

"Then I'd better choose to make meritorious service." Sae Yang answered casually, his fingers already touching the starting area.

A prompt popped up on the screen again: Searching for a layer of signal source 86206-018

"Is this system dumb? Why doesn't the prompt speak?" Le Pen muttered.

Tang whispered back from the side; "Did you forget? This system was just... um, whoever made it crazy, and the electronic sounds all over the wall were in a mess, and now it is in the automatic mute of disorder adjustment. Woolen cloth."

In the past, such a search would have taken a few seconds at most, but this time, I don’t know if Fort Barney has been blocked for too long or for some other reason. After a whole minute passed, the screen finally refined the map layer by layer. , circled the corner of a block.

There is a small prompt box next to it, marking the time of the traces found: 5633 years.

"Great job, I found the earliest traces of the signal source. In 5633, about..." Sah Yang said, and moved his left hand seriously to count, "There must be a hundred and 80 Come on, come on, maybe you can catch the other party."

Chus: "..."

He stared at the block, and said to Sahe next to him expressionlessly: "Shut up."

Sae Young laughed.

5633, the year that the signal source left traces in this block, is really 80 years since the planet exploded, even 20 years older than Chus.What Say Yang said was extremely damaging, but so what, as long as he could find a little trace, he was not afraid that he would not be able to find that person in the end.

Chus manipulated the system to zoom in on the circled block until he could clearly see the small words in the upper right corner of the area——

No. 7, Wutong Street, District A, West West City

Chu Si's eyebrows jumped instantly: "Orphanage?"

If it was another address, Truss would have to search again, but he would never forget this place.

Xixi City City Orphanage, where Chu Si stayed for 8 years from birth.

8 years, placed in a life span of more than 200 years, is actually a short moment.But for those who have lived there, it will probably be the longest and most difficult time in their lives.

A series of negative problems such as Chusi's gloomy, xenophobic, irritable and reticent childhood were all sprouted in that orphanage.

The orphanage bears the name of "City Established", just like Xixi City's supervisory government, its composition is complicated, and the lines of interest are intertwined.There are a lot of rumors about it in Xixi City alone. Some say that it was actually built with the support of a private consortium, and under the guise of an orphanage, it is actually doing other gray things.It is also said that it is the product of the compromise and collusion between the government and the dark side of Xixi City, and it is also said that the military is mixed in here.

In short, the complicated and not-so-bright background led to the same complex and not-so-bright environment in the orphanage.

It was like a miniature version of Xixi City, Eye of Hell, full of chaos and conflict, even though most of the people inside were still children.

Anyone who comes out of it will pile up all the dark descriptions when describing it, and will not use even a commendatory word, not even a neutral word,

In Chusi's memory, it may be because the environment is too depressing. Most of the children there have severe headaches. The stationed doctor said that it is not physiological, but caused by too much accumulation of psychological extreme emotions. There are also anxiety, insomnia, mania, etc...

In the room he used to live in, there was a scrawny child who was one year older than him, and when he had a headache, he would curl up and bump his head against the metal railing at the head of the bed.

Ever since he could remember, he had listened to that "bang bang" sound every day for two and a half years, until the other party died.

The word "death" is too common for people there, because children die every day, because of fighting, because of being punished, because of illness...

There are also some people who try to leave, but because of their young age or other reasons, no matter where they go, they can always be brought back.The orphanage seemed to have countless pairs of eyes, knowing every child's movements like the back of their hands.

The first time Chu Si met his adoptive father Jiang Qi was in the west of Xiaobailou in the orphanage.

The design of that building is a bit special, unlike other smooth walls, a slender metal column is hooped on the center line of the west wall of Xiaobai Building.If you sneak up to the roof of the small white building, and then slide along the metal pillars to the sixth floor, you can use a foot-wide horizontal board there to carefully transfer to the platform of the building next door.

In the eyes of seven or eight-year-old children, this is already a very complicated and high-end way to escape.

Chu Si climbed onto the rooftop late at night in the midwinter of that year. The nurses went to bed early and slept deeply in winter, so there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. It was a very coincidental timing.

However, when he slid down the stairs and got on the slender horizontal board, he realized that there was a thin layer of ice frozen on the horizontal board.

Although he was extremely careful with every step, he still slipped off the horizontal board in the end. Thanks to his timely reaction, he hooked the horizontal board tightly with both hands, and managed to hang himself.

For an eight-year-old child, it was difficult and hopeless.

Fingers hooked on the cold metal horizontal board, it was bitingly cold and slippery.

He just hovered between the two buildings at the height of the sixth floor for a long time.Turning back is a quagmire, letting go is death.

Jiang Qi came to that alley at that time. At that time, he was just past middle age, and he was still wearing a military shirt and trousers, but he was covered with a dark coat.The sensor lights in the alley had just been destroyed by a group of rioters, leaving only a row of small yellowish lights on the top of the courtyard wall, giving Jiang Qi a gentle edge.

Chu Si had already slipped one of his hands at that time, and the ice slag fell on Jiang Qi's body, which made him notice that there was actually a child hanging from it.

Jiang Qi seemed to be taken aback at the time, or maybe he didn't react that much, Chu Si couldn't remember clearly.

I just remember that Jiang Qi raised his head, clapped his hands, and then spread his forearms towards him, saying, "How did you get to such a place, you little brat? Come down first, don't worry, I'll follow, you won't die if you fall."

Chu Si never said a word in the eight years in the orphanage, and naturally he would not answer Jiang Qi.He even didn't want to let go because of his rejection of all strangers.But the slippery plank was beyond his control.

Just when he was gritting his teeth and trying to hesitate for a while, Jiang Qi added another sentence: "Oh, by the way, don't kick your legs when you come down, so as not to step on my face."

As soon as he said this, Chu Si slipped his hand and kicked his legs and fell from the height of the sixth floor.
