I, Zhongli, wander the world

Zhong Yuan, who was only one step away from social death, also pushed Adam away from the campus.

Like a common punk in Yokohama, he pushed him into an alley, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll give you a minute to explain the origin, purpose, and follow-up actions."

Adam, who is a tall European in appearance, looked down at Chuya Nakahara with some difficulty, and said kindly: "Do you want to introduce yourself again? Okay, this machine belongs to..."

"It's not those messy things!" Nakahara Chuya said tiredly, "Okay, let's start with your identity, are you a robot?"

The strange name of "this machine", coupled with the somewhat mechanical wording and official serial number, although it is unbelievable, a bold guess still popped up in Zhongyuanzhong.

Adam affirmed his guess, "Yes, this machine is the first self-help thinking computer manufactured by Dr. Wollstone Krakoff. The purpose of coming to Mr. Nakahara Chuya this time is to ask you to help me arrest your My brother, Paul Verlaine."

"...?" The name, which he had never heard before, filled Zhong Yuan with question marks, "Who is it?"

In the past few years, Chuya Nakahara has done a lot of investigations on his own life experience in Leibo Street. With the convenience of a detective agency, he managed to find out his identity as an experimental subject, and even found out his identity as a test subject in the Edo River. With help, I found traces of my past as a human being, but I never heard that I have a European brother.

"So that's it, don't you understand at all?" Adam nodded clearly, "The priority has changed, please introduce this machine to explain the cause and effect of the matter to you."

Then Zhong Yuanzhong also heard the robot talk about the love and hatred of "Verlaine, who is an artificial supernatural personality, and his partner Rimbaud and the experimental subject of Huangbatu".

And the time is just stuck at 1 minute, without even a millisecond error.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who received a lot of information in a short time, also said with a big head: "So, that Verlaine recognized me as his younger brother because he was also a supernatural test subject, and because of this, he turned against his old partner Rimbaud. His old partner has fought all over the world, and he will soon come to Yokohama?"

"To be precise, we almost confirmed the death of Arthur Rimbaud before. During those few years, Verlaine kept wandering between countries and assassinated many important people. Until Rimbaud suddenly went to South America three years ago Appeared and hunted down Verlaine, and the upper echelons of Europe were able to confirm Rimbaud's survival." Adam said sternly, "But the strange thing is that after that, Rimbaud ignored all contacts from Europe, and only focused on fighting with Verlaine all over the world. .The battlefield stretches from South America to Africa, and even runs through Russia and Australia."

"Ah, by the way, their fighting in Australia destroyed a whole plain that happened to be home to wild rabbits, and the local farmers were thankful that a storm from out of nowhere flattened the rabbit hole..."

"No, you don't need to tell me these things." Zhong Yuan Zhong also said expressionlessly.

"What this machine means is that they are dangerous and they brought that danger to Yokohama."

Adam said seriously: "This machine has seen from e-books that certain transformations can make human beings more aware of invisible things. Now this machine is using this analogy to try to make Mr. Nakahara understand that if no action is taken, Yokohama It's the next Australian rabbit hole."

This sounds like a threat of forced cooperation.Zhong Yuanzhong also stared at this robot who didn't know whether it was a fake rigid or a real black-bellied robot, while Adam on the opposite side didn't give in at all, and also looked directly at Zhong Yuanzhong with unfriendly eyes, and even tilted his head and pulled out a perfect revealing eighth tooth smile.

"I beg you?"

Zhong Yuan, who was facing the Uncanny Valley, was holding his breath and almost didn't come up.

"Don't show this expression, it's too scary... No, why do you need my assistance after all? Just relying on that unilaterally identified 'brother' status?"

Adam put back the artificial leather molding as if changing his face, "Because in the past three years, Verlaine was not only hunted down, but the man still had the strength to assassinate important figures from various countries on the way to be hunted down. The agency wanted him for the main reason for his arrest."

"And since he is able to turn against his partner for Huang Ba's vomiting, he will also come to contact you or your guardian when he still has the energy to spare."

"Wait." Zhong Yuanzhong also changed his face slightly, "You mean he will go to see Mr.?"

"Mr. Zhongli is a strong man of the same level after all. In fact, if Verlaine wants to take you away, a confrontation with Mr. Zhongli is almost inevitable." Adam said with certainty, "This is also one of the reasons why I came to you Rimbaud, who was chasing and killing Verlaine, has an unclear attitude and cannot form cooperation. If Mr. Zhongyuan can establish a cooperative relationship with the Transcendent, both the success rate of the mission and the safety of both parties will be greatly improved."

Zhong Yuanzhong also let out a "tsk" with a headache.

"I still can't easily believe what you said." In the end, the red-haired boy said, "I need to discuss it with someone. If you want to know the result, you can go to the detective agency with me first."

Anyway, first please ask Ranbu to see the reality of this person,

He is also a person with small partners in the Central Plains, so he will not be so stupid as to handle such a big matter by himself.

Adam did not show any reluctance, but instead showed a kind of extraordinarily artificial excitement, "Oh, this is what humans call an interview. This machine knows it. I didn't expect that a robot without the right to vote could be interviewed by a human."

"Do I need to prepare anything for this machine? A resume? An opening statement? How about this machine talking about the plan again?"

"The battle plan on how to arrest Verlaine and test whether Rimbaud has betrayed..."

The robot "Ba Ba" who tried to sell himself according to anthropology talked all the way, and finally received a warning from Nakahara Chuya before pushing the door to enter the detective agency.

"You're so noisy!" the red-haired boy said while pushing the door, "I don't trust you yet, no matter how much you say, it's useless, I won't take it easy..."

His voice gradually weakened when he saw the strange yet familiar man in the detective agency.

"Oh! Mr. Tangerine!" Edogawa Ranpo, who was impatiently receiving the man, immediately stood up and greeted him, "Although I know it's been a few days, but you are too unlucky, Mr. Tangerine, why don't you watch TV shows and choose one?" Lucky number?"

The boy said with a smile, and following his happy greeting, the man who was sitting upright on the other side also looked at the door.

Arthur Rimbaud.

A transcendent with an unclear position who has clearly recovered his memory but insists on not contacting France.

Meanwhile, Chinatown.

Zhong Li walked out of an antique shop with a small wooden box in his hand, and there was a thrush combing feathers standing on his shoulder.

Due to his profound knowledge, he was occasionally invited to be a mediator in certain matters.For example, this time, they were just walking the birds leisurely on the street, but were sincerely invited by the owner of the antique shop to appreciate an antique stove that had caused a dispute for them.

There are nine out of ten Xuande stoves, and this one is no exception.After Zhongli was able to accurately imitate the replicas by any master in any generation or workshop, the customer who originally wanted to cheat money with the high imitation fake stove left in a panic with the stove.The boss who was almost cheated was very grateful and gave a small jade pendant as a thank you gift.

After coming out of the antique shop, Zhongli should have continued to walk the birds, but instead of following the original planned route, Zhong Li turned around and walked towards China Street near the pier.

Little Thrush moved her feet restlessly on her shoulders.

The moisture in the air became more and more obvious. Zhongli stopped at an open road section where he could see the coastline in the distance, and said softly: "Although this is not the best place to talk, it is much more suitable than the noisy urban area. Are you sure you can't tell me?"

The sea breeze blew gently and brought the salty smell of sea water, and the empty road was silent. Zhong Li closed his eyes and waited quietly for a while, then he heard a low chuckle from the alley behind him on the right.

"This is really... surprising." The blond man stepped out of the shadows step by step, "I didn't expect that the so-called transcendents and guardians of Chuya in the intelligence are not human?"

This was an accident that Verlaine never thought of.

Across the pages of information, all the descriptions defined Zhongli as a powerful supernatural being, suspected to have the ability to control mountains, rocks and the earth.Almost all of Verlaine's previous preparations were based on these assumptions.

But he didn't expect that after a face-to-face meeting, the other party's majestic and profound breath told him a completely different answer.

The form of existence that is almost integrated with the earth under the non-human senses is definitely not human.

This prompted Verlaine to change his original plan, making him involuntarily stand in front of Zhongli at a moment when he shouldn't have appeared.

Zhong Li in front of him turned around and looked straight at him with golden eyes, "Left and right are just walking in the world, what difference does it make between human and non-human?"

"There is no difference..." Verlaine repeated this sentence softly, and suddenly laughed lowly.

"...It's such an infuriating attitude." He looked at Zhongli as if he was looking at a fellow who had gone astray, "I saw how you got along with those humans, could it be that you are so misleading? Is it? You actually think that existence like us can coexist peacefully with human beings?"

"For those human beings, aliens are always aliens. They can be weapons or props, but they are not equal."

"No difference? Have you never been treated as a different kind by that group of humans?"

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows.

There's none?

That must be—impossible.

Whether it is the years of conquest as the Demon God of Rock, or the thousands of years of guarding Liyue Harbor as the King of Rock, people fear the Demon God, respect the God of Rock, and even the arrogance of those who do not respect the God of Immortals.

Morax, who has ruled Liyue for thousands of years, has endured far more sights than anyone imagined.

however……

"I look at people in the world, come and go for profit, run around for a living, and suffer from love, but life is full of various states. When the world looks at me, why not behave like this?" Zhong Li said indifferently, "Looking at me in a mirror, it's just like this."

He was a man, then a god, and then a man again.

Morax, who has experienced all kinds of situations in the world, knows how to feel and how to be a real "person" better than anyone else.
