black sky

It's wonderful to have the chance to relive your youth once in a while, but sometimes it's not so convenient.

For example, when there is a gate at the entrance of a certain avenue to block cars occasionally for spot checks, the two of them can only find a place to stop and wait, because no matter who sees that there are only two seventeen or eighteen-year-old people in the car, There must be some questioning, not to mention that they don't have a driving license yet.

Generally speaking, this kind of spot check will last for about half a day, and the time will be prolonged after repeated visits.Rest is easy to talk about. After setting up smart driving, you can fall asleep in the car. You don’t have to worry about the toll at each intersection. It will be automatically calculated on the owner’s head through the license plate. Mr. pays uniformly.

The only more problematic thing is...the food.

why?Because the two poor young men have no money.

In fact, it’s not that there is no money at all. These days, all assets are bundled under personal identity accounts. To spend money, you only need to swipe your fingerprints. As long as there are enough funds in the account, you can pay the bill normally.

However, Chu Si and Sae Yang were punished by car theft not long after leaving the nursing home—just as Jiang Qi estimated, in the process of time self-regulation, there was a situation where different time and space were connected, and they were likely to stand still. The place is the summer of a certain year, and two steps forward will arrive at the spring four years later.

The places they passed by have changed time and space several times. There is Lane City in 5650, Max County in the war in 5528, and even the classical Rose County in 5419. It is extremely rich!but……

There is no place where they can swipe their fingerprints and spend money!Because they were not even born during these years, let alone a fingerprint account.

After driving for nearly 18 hours, the black shuttle passed through the south area of ​​Butterfly Island and was heading for the north area when the car suddenly bumped.

Chus, who was wrapped in a blanket and leaned on the co-pilot to bask in the sun, lazily said, "We have entered a new space-time zone again."

Say Yang let out a "hmm", raised his head and looked at the smart timer in the car, "Let me see what year it is."

Chu Si just woke up, still a little lazy, and there was a little smile in his voice, "Did you give birth?"

Say Yang also laughed and said, "Congratulations, both of us should be born."

Chief Chu, who had been hungry for 18 hours, could no longer control himself too much. When he heard that the fingerprint account would come in handy, he regained his energy immediately, straightened his seat and looked out the window.

Butterfly Island is actually not far from Emerald Harbor where he used to live. In my impression, Jiang Qi brought him here many times, but every time he came and went in a hurry, as if he regarded this place as a transit point, only passing by and not staying.

As for why he has to pass by here, it can only be explained that Jiang Qi has a good impression of this cozy town.

Coincidentally, the street that the shuttle car drove was the one they used to pass by frequently - Starry Night Avenue.

Chus was deeply impressed by the gypsophila on both sides of the street. When he was looking for a parking space on the street, he glanced at a restaurant.

He looked at the name of the restaurant in a daze, and immediately patted Say Yang's hand, "Sah, that restaurant!"

"what?"

"Moncaminfi." Chus pointed to the restaurant on the roadside.

Say Yang froze for a moment, then quickly remembered, "The restaurant mentioned in Esther Kabell's email?"

"Yeah." Chus nodded, and passed Say Yang to adjust the settings of the smart driving, "Remember, I said that the name was a bit familiar. I used to pass by here with Jiang Qi, but I didn't been in."

Sae Yang patted his waist, and scratched him twice like a cat with his fingers, "Change to manual, I'll stop the car."

Chu Si almost elbowed him in the face, but fortunately, Sae Yang reacted quickly, tilted his head clearly, avoided it accurately, and snorted, "Normal people react with knee jerks, little sir You're so talented, and you have an elbow jerk reaction?"

"Aren't you addicted to playing?" Chu Si almost laughed angrily.Ever since Sae Yang found out that there was a place on the back of his waist that was particularly ticklish, and the reaction was particularly severe when touched, it started endlessly.

During this period of time, Sah Yang would make a fool of himself whenever he seized the opportunity, and it was impossible to guard against it.

Fortunately, this car is controlled by the intelligent driver most of the time, otherwise it would have hit a tree and a wall eight hundred times back and forth.

After switching to manual driving, Sae Yang was surprisingly calm, parked the car in the parking space in a serious manner, washed up in the rear compartment that automatically switched to the life mode, and then got off with Chus Car, into the restaurant called "Mon Cumming Fei".

This restaurant is not too big, and the layout inside is very...academic—be it floor lamps or various decorations, various models of galaxies are used, the ceiling is painted black and blue, and the ceiling is clamped The lamp is very fine, and cut into a diamond face, even in the daytime, it shimmers with fine fragments of light against the sunlight, which looks a bit like the Milky Way at first glance.

Chus: "..."

Sae Young: "..."

It does seem like a place that those who do research might like.

However, the designer has arranged it well. In addition, the colors of these decorations are mostly clean and distinct. Coupled with the music in the store and the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a different kind of indescribable sense of comfort. If it is night, those who symbolize The lights of the stars are all on, maybe even a little more brilliant.

Esther Kabell once wrote in the email - "If we can really wait until the day when everything is back on track, we can go to Mon Cumming to have the most pleasant dinner, I like it so much, Of course, no one knows this except you. It actually has another name, but it’s just too long. I suspect no one knows it, and you certainly don’t. If I get a chance, I’ll show you.”

Perhaps because he was deeply impressed by this passage, Chus wondered from the moment he entered the door, "If this store still has a name, what might it be?"

"Who knows, ask the boss later." Sai Yang replied.

At the time when they came, there were not many people in the store, but the last seat by the window was already occupied, so they picked the previous seat, which was also next to the floor-to-ceiling windows.There is a hollowed-out partition between the two positions half-blocking it. From the perspective of Chus, one can only vaguely see the back of the person behind him through the hollowed-out partition after crossing Sae Young on the opposite side. Do not interfere with each other.

Both of them felt that the reason why Esther Kabell liked this place was largely due to the layout here. As for the taste here...they didn't have too many expectations.

Fortunately, the menu here is not as academic as the layout here, and the names of the dishes are written honestly.

"Grand Marnier with shrimp, smoked eel with red cabbage, puff pastry..."

Chus had never eaten here before, so he ordered a few things at random.He has been hungry for 18 hours, and now he can basically eat as long as there is something to eat.As for Sae Young, it doesn't matter, after all, he can even eat fried cod.

Perhaps because there were not many people, the restaurant served food very quickly, and they didn't have to wait long.

The taste of this shop was unexpectedly good, and the two ate very quickly, until the last piece of pie was left, and the hunger slowly disappeared.During the process, they kept chatting casually, and the topic mainly revolved around the grid program, but since there were still people behind them, they spoke in a very cryptic manner.

Chu Si divided the last piece of pie in half to Say Young, and when he was forking it, he suddenly remembered something: "Wait, what year did you just see?"

"Huh?" Say Yang asked a question, thought for a while and replied, "Maybe 5655." Just after he finished speaking, he also realized something.

Chus: "..."

Sae Young: "..."

"In 5655, I was two years old. If I'm not mistaken, you were at most two and a half years old." Chu Si asked blankly, "Dear Mr. Yang, tell me, how much money did you have in your account when you were two and a half years old? I don't have a point anyway."

Say Yang coughed with his hand on the tip of his nose, "Theoretically, he is similar to you."

"Okay, so you don't get a cent." Truss folded his arms against the back of the sofa.

It's great, it's still two young poor guys... the kind who accidentally ate the overlord's meal.

"what should I do now."

Sae Yang simply leaned on the back of the sofa, and said with a half-smile: "Why don't you discuss with the boss and leave an IOU? Just write the signature as the future executive officer of the Security Building? Just wait for another fifty years, and we will definitely return."

Chief Chu, who ate Bawang's meal for the first time in his life, moved his lips: "...I found out that I haven't walked the right path since I met you."

"I am very honored."

"..."

When the two were worried, the person who was dining at the table behind rang the bell, and then stood up.

A tall, black-haired man could be vaguely seen through the partition, wearing a simple gunsmoke blue shirt and trousers.He stood with his back to this side for a while, raised his head slightly, as if he was looking at the decoration or painting on the wall opposite him.

It wasn't until the waiter came to his seat that he bowed his head and said a few words to the waiter, and then paid the bill with his fingerprints.

His voice was very low, with a trace of fatigue, maybe it was because the sun was too bright and the store was too comfortable, so he was a little lazy.Chu Si was worrying about how to pay the bill, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't hear what he was talking about.

After a while, the tall man went out through the back door of the restaurant near his seat.But the waiter who paid him the bill came to Chu Si and his table, and said in a warm voice: "The gentleman paid the bill for the two of you just now, so if the two of you finish your meal later, just remember to bring your belongings. "

Chu Si was taken aback, "Why?"

"He said he accidentally overheard your two conversations, and felt very sorry, so he settled the bill and made an apology." The waiter replied.

Chu Si and Say Yang looked at each other, remembering that when they said they would pay the IOU just now, Say Yang leaned on the back of the sofa and was very close to the person, probably overheard.The other party not only kindly paid the bill for them, but also thoughtfully gave such a reason.

"Wait here, I'll sign a note." Chu Si said something to Sae Yang, and then chased him out through the back door.

However, it was still a bit late, he only saw the man walk to the corner, and then disappeared at the end of this piece of time and space.But...the back view...

Truss frowned, turned and went back into the dining room.

"Why this expression?" Sae Yang caught a glimpse of his expression and asked.

"Why do I think that person's back looks a bit like..." Chu Si hesitated for a moment, then turned to ask the waiter: "When the person checked out just now, what was his last name in the identity information?"

Generally speaking, the identity will be displayed on the fingerprint device when paying, but the information will be properly blurred and only the last name will be displayed.

The waiter didn't look at the fingerprint reader in his hand, smiled and said: "The surname is Jiang, Mr. Jiang is a regular customer in the store, and he has been eating here almost every day for the past six months, and he has always sat in that seat, but just now Mr. Jiang said that he may I can't come."

Hearing this surname, Sae Yang also froze for a moment: "What a coincidence?"

But thinking about the waiter's words, I don't think it's a coincidence, after all, the other party comes almost every day.

Chu Si suddenly understood who the recipient of Esther Kabell's email was his adoptive father Jiang Qi. The year 5655 was the year when the military department was purged after the death of Esther Cabell. At this time, the military department was in chaos, and the people in the time experiment were too busy to take care of themselves. They should not be able to attend to the small room mentioned in the email. Dining room.

The reason why Jiang Qi said that he might not be able to come in the future is because the purge is coming to an end, if he continues to come, it is likely that a series of related people will be exposed.

When Chu Si was silent, Sae Yang suddenly asked the waiter: "What does Monkaminfi mean? I heard that this restaurant has another name?"

"Another name?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled as if remembering something, and introduced: "Many of the decorations in our restaurant are added according to the customer's design. A lady chose to add a sentence. Later, the boss thought It’s very interesting, so I put that sentence behind the store name.”

As he said, he extended his hand to say hello, and brought Chu Si and Saye Yang to the backmost position, pointing to the wall that Jiang Qi had looked at for a long time just now: "It's a coincidence that it's written here. That lady always liked to sit in this position before, but she hasn't been here for a long time..."

Chus looked at the wall. The arrangement on the wall was the same as that of the ceiling. There were tiny lamps cut into diamond surfaces. Even if they were not turned on, under the sunlight, they were as bright as a summer night of stars.On it, is the name of the restaurant Mon Cummingfe.

The waiter explained: "This is an old saying before Butterfly Island, and it means eternity when translated."

And under eternity, there is a line of smaller characters, with an extra gentle handwriting——

The galaxy is bright, the sun is clean, among all the beautiful existences in the world, whether alive or dead, I always love you the most.
