The phone hung up, and the security guard asked them to wait at the door for a while.

Shen Rin asked curiously: "You don't like that Rin very much, why can you give away the necklace he gave you?"

Xiu glanced at him, and said calmly: "He gave me a dozen of these necklaces, saying that he had expected this kind of situation a long time ago."

Shen Lin: "..."

"And he said," Xiu's expression softened, and there was a light gleam in his eyes, "The most precious thing is always the memory, not the dead thing. As long as the memory is still there, even if the thing is shattered, it can be remembered clearly."

Shen Lin pursed his lower lips, and lightly licked the cold lips with the tip of his tongue. He lowered his eyes and said, "If the truth that Alaye tells you will change your world drastically, what you know Everything has become false, and the memory has become fiction, what will you do?"

Xiu pondered Shen Lin's meaning repeatedly. He lowered his eyes to look at this young man. The mottled light in the room shone on his face. There were obvious traces of prosthetic body implantation on his body. Human beings in this era seem to be hidden in the grotesque The monster under him has been transformed by the times and technology, and even his skin has a metallic luster, but he can see a pure and clean face through the light.

He has crisp, cropped hair, a baggy blue-and-white tracksuit, and white sneakers that are nearly spotless.

He sat in the classroom, his eyes were cold, his chin was lazily propped up, his wrist bones were clearly raised, and his fair skin was as transparent as the sunlight.

Xiu was dazzled by the white light, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a dark room in front of him again, and the rhythmic music came out from the tape recorder.

He didn't quite understand why the boy in front of him asked such a question, but he heard the trembling in the boy's voice, and he said softly: "The world may be false, but people are real, and the emotions that connect people are also real. "

Shen Rin was taken aback, he suddenly felt that his worries were a bit ridiculous, those inexplicably inserted memories made him doubt himself and the world, but maybe he was deprived of some memories, but his judgment is still there, his emotions will be Lead him in the right direction and with the right people.

"You're right," Shen Lin looked up at Xiu. In Xiu's eyes, Shen Lin and the boy in the hallucination almost overlapped, and his own appearance was clearly reflected in his clean and clear eyes. Shen Lin said , "What is truly eternal is not objects or memories, but emotions. Believe in your own feelings, no matter what you will see in the future."

The door of the security office opened, and a gust of cold wind came in. A robot slid in with a chip in its hand. He scanned the people present, and finally slid towards Shen Lin. The mechanical voice sounded: "This is you. required information."

Shen Lin inserted the chip into the groove behind the ear, and soon got the information of Master Astrology.

It was an elderly gentleman, a native of Huaguo, with a white beard and long beard, and looked like a fairy-tale old priest.His residential address was written on the side of the photo, and Shen Lin shared the news.

"Hello," Rex sent a message, "I found Yang in the Raven apartment. He has been staying in the room. There are too many bunkers, so I can't do it. How is your progress?"

"It's going well," Hugh said. "Take a chance, Ricks."

"Okay, boss," Rex said briskly.

The off-road vehicle drove into the driveway, and the light and shadows were blurred at night. At 12 o'clock in the morning, the nightlife of the city had just begun. Many shadows that had been lurking during the day stood upright. The ears are either screams, roars or continuous gunshots.

Shen Lin looked at the corner of the street ahead, a gang was looting and smashing a store, the bullet pierced the clerk's chest, the man on the side backed away screaming, leaning his back against the glass window, knelt down in horror and begged for mercy.

He frowned.

"Peanut," Xiu's voice sounded, "you come for a moment."

"Yes, boss," Peanut visibly cheered up, "I'm good at driving! Very good at it!"

Shen Lin: "..."

The window glass of the driver's seat was lowered, and the mixed music and gunfire from the side of the road poured into the car with the violent wind.At the moment when the driving rights were handed over to Peanut, the fierce and unrestrained music in the car danced wildly with the wind, stepping on the drumbeat of the gunshots with a heavy rhythm, and the rebellious tail tune tightly grasped the soaring speed of the car.

Shen Lin leaned back, the back of his head hit the backrest, Peanut laughed loudly: "Run! Explode! Go!"

Shen Lin: "..."

To be honest, the wind hurts my face a bit.

Xiu picked up a sniper, put it on the butt made of fingers, and shot towards the street corner. The prosthetic body relieved the recoil, making every shot of him very smooth, blood bloomed on the side of the road, and the robber's head was shot There was a cross-cutting, followed by several gunshots, and the moment the off-road vehicle drove past, all the robbers fell down.

The clerk who held his head and begged for mercy did not wait for the expected bullet, the roar dissipated, the gunshots subsided, and only the rhythmic music was left. He shrank and raised his head, staring blankly at the corpses all over the ground.

The off-road vehicle soon stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated dark alley.

The road ahead was too narrow, and the off-road vehicle couldn't drive in. Xiu found a place to stop the car, but before he stopped, the dazzling lights came on, and the siren sounded outside.

Peanut said, "Boss, it's the police!"

In the skyscraper, the incident of Yang's suicide has not subsided, and both Xiu and Shen Lin must be on the wanted list of the police.

Shen Rin asked: "Can you run away?" Then he said to KP: "I was pretending."

KP said: "No need, I'm pushing the progress of the plot, these few policemen won't do anything to you."

"How many people?" Xiu asked.

"Three, but it doesn't look like the police who came to arrest us, it's the police, wait a minute," Peanut's voice sounded excited, "It's Evan! Boss! It's Evan!"

The policeman on the opposite side yelled at them with a loudspeaker and a smile: "People in the car, cooperate with the inspection, stop and stop, hurry up!"

Xiu opened the car door, and the dazzling light on the opposite side disappeared, and a strong young man stood in the shadows, his muscular arms were tightly bound by the cuffs of his police uniform.

"I recognized your car from a distance," he opened his hands, and rushed towards Xiu with a big laugh: "Boss, long time no see!"

Shen Lin: "?"

Peanut introduced: "Evan used to be our companion. After Linmei died, he changed his career to take the police exam." She turned to Evan and said, "Didn't you go to the Technology Tower? Why are you here?"

"Maybe people like me are not born to stay in the Technology Tower." Evan laughed heartily, and he said to his colleagues on the left and right, "Go back, I will search for this case again, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, Evan." The two said goodbye to Evan.

Evan came up and put his arms around Xiu's shoulders, only to find Rin standing behind Xiu, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said to Xiu ambiguously: "What? Are you finally willing to find a new lover?"

Xiu gave him a cold look, and said, "This is the person who entrusted us to cooperate this time."

"Looking young," Evan asked, "That fellow Rex didn't bully others, did he?"

"Hahahaha!" Peanut said with a smile, "Ricks looks like a plucked quail in front of him!"

Evan laughed.

Xiu patted his muscular shoulder: "What happened in the technology tower?"

"It's nothing, I can't see some things. There are a few mad scientists in it. They arrest people in the lower city and use them as test subjects. They equip them with prosthetic bodies in a mess, just to test their performance." Evan shrugged. Beat up a doctor in charge, was dismissed, and thrown here. It is comfortable and familiar to come here. I have to wear tight uniforms and formal clothes every day in the Technology Tower, and I often get stared at.”

His tone was downplaying, but both Xiu and Peanut could tell that the matter was far more than what he said.

Xiu hugged his shoulder and bumped lightly: "Thank you, brother."

"We all miss you," said Peanut, "and you are always welcome back."

Evan scratched his head: "I'm afraid not, I am a father, and I have to take less risks for my precious wife and children."

Xiu laughed: "Congratulations."

Evan smiled embarrassingly, and asked, "What commission did you accept this time? What are you doing here? With your current worth, you shouldn't come to this kind of place."

"Look for someone," Xiu said simply, not wanting to involve Evan too much, "he's from China, surnamed Li, do you know him?"

"Li Ming?" Evan called out the name without even thinking about it, "I know him, that old man talks about it every day, saying that he knows the destiny and wants to tell us fortunes, he is an old liar. Let's go, I will take you Go, this way."

"What about you?" Xiu and Shen Lin followed Evan into the alley. The road here is already narrow, and the roadside is full of containers of various sizes. Evan is huge, but he brought them through the alley Time is very flexible.

KP said: "You do an investigation."

Shen Lin threw and failed.

KP: "Well, you didn't find anything."

There must be something.Shen Lin took the initiative to ask Evan: "Were you patrolling just now? What happened around here recently?"

Evan suppressed his two thick eyebrows and said: "It is not a big deal that a child is missing. There are countless children without parents on this street, and there are also countless children who have lost their children at home. Report it. It is unbelievable that there are so many disappearances without any further details, but recently, such cases have happened so frequently that they have attracted everyone's attention. Speaking of which, those children are very strange, disappearing quietly, like He left on his own initiative without leaving any trace of struggle."

"Is it abduction?" Shen Lin remembered that when he was looking for Yang before, there was also a case of missing a child in that apartment, and KP would not suddenly insert irrelevant clues, Shen Lin thought, this must have something to do with Yang's incident What connection.

"Hmm... abduction, maybe it's maybe not. I visited several families who lost their children. They said that their children disappeared inexplicably in the room. It stands to reason that no one can enter that room. It's like leaving home. go away."

"How long has it been going on?"

"More than a month."

Shen Lin asked suspiciously, "Where's the surveillance video? Did you capture anything?"

"Yes," Evan lit a cigarette, he blew out a puff of thick smoke, and said heavily, "The surveillance saw these children wandering the streets with no one around them, they seemed to have a purpose, and they seemed to be aimless, I can't see where they want to go, but they go straight forward without hesitation, but you know, the security around here is like this, and there are very few surveillance videos that can be preserved. We only have some fragmentary clips. You can tell they're under the influence of some kind of drug—all the kids are delirious, like spirits."

While they were chatting about this matter, they walked deep into the street and alley, and at the end there were several low houses side by side. At the door of one of them stood a flashing advertising light board with faint blue light, on which were two "fresh and lively" "And kind big characters - fortune-telling.

Shen Lin: "..."

An old man with a bowed back and a mechanical prosthesis on his right leg pushed open the glass door and threw something on the ground violently.

The sewage overflowed, revealing a thin layer of red.

There is also some faint fishy smell.

He immediately thought that this might be the legendary black dog's blood.

When the old man saw them, he glanced sideways, then took out the bell, and said seriously: "I see that your seals are black, and there may be a catastrophe today. I have a life-saving talisman to ward off evil and avoid disasters. It only costs 199. Buy two and get free." One, by the way, I will give you a fortune-telling for free, health, career or love?"

Behind him, the city lights are shining, intertwined with the face of the old man who has obvious signs of transformation, and the punk music with a fast rhythm passes through the wall, combining with the sound of the bell shaking.

Every time you move, you jingle every time.

Shen Lin: "..."

Help, this indescribable sense of incongruity carries a weird and weird harmony.

What is the difference between fortune telling in the cyberpunk world and eating Japanese fried dumplings in Sichuan?

Shen Lin thought to himself expressionlessly.

"Li Ming?" Xiu didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Help us calculate the star position, and I will give you [-]."

The bell in the old man's hand fell to the ground, and he took a sharp breath.

After a few 10 minutes, Shen Lin had a clear time point in his hand.

The old man took off his glasses and looked with satisfaction at the addition of [-] in his account.

The time was three days later, at 32:[-] in the morning.

The star Fomalhaut will land on the top of the big locust tree, and Yang will perform the final ceremony at that point.

Before leaving, Shen Lin had a sudden whim and asked, "If I want to ask you to calculate the cause and effect, can you do it?"

"Divination."

"Yes," Shen Lin asked, "I want to know where all the missing children went?"

kp: "You have a trick."

Shen Lin throws, 1 point big success!

The old gentleman was silent for a long time, and just when Shen Lin thought he would not answer, the old gentleman said meaningfully: "The treacherous man came to the world with a mysterious body, and deceived believers with the most deceiving words. I have seen that A fraudster, he turned into a beautiful girl, covered his face with a fan, and tricked all the men into madness for her, he almost destroyed a city. I found his traces here, maybe he abducted the child, if it is true, then give up Well, human power can't fight against that evil god, we can only wait for him to play enough. Or—”

He turned on the radio, and after the buzzing sound disappeared, the female anchor's voice sounded: "There was a huge explosion in the xx factory on the outskirts of the city in the early morning, and it is suspected that it has an in-depth connection with the recently very active fire worship group... so far , There have been 6 similar bombings.”

Li Ming lay on the reclining chair with his back, and said mysteriously: "Or, give up and stop the final sacrificial ceremony. What the sacrificial ceremony summoned was the nemesis of the evil god—Cthugya came for him, for him Cultivate believers, let believers summon themselves from distant planets."

He chanted softly: "Nyarlathotep, the God of Many Faces who loves to deceive humans and loves watching humans collapse and despair, has come here again."

After listening, Shen Lin asked KP: "Is the difficulty of this room not right?"

kp: "There is nothing wrong."

"The two outer gods are still mortal enemies to each other. The gods fight, and the kid suffers. How can we stop it?"

"It's like this, it's not difficult," KP said, "You have to figure out a way."

Shen Lin: "..."

It is not difficult for God to ride a horse.

Hard-hearted and steadfast, this is the persistence of the old kp.

But Shen Lin did think of a way.
