Joad thought for a while, he moved, and then said tentatively, "Did you mean Q?" His voice was very uncertain.

Fan Liu nodded: "That's right, is that the statue that the Mars base jokingly called 'Mr. Q that doesn't exist'?"

Zhang Luotuo's heart sank, Mr. Q does not exist.No matter how many times he hears it, his heart will jump. A historical figure, a figure in the history of Chongqing, who is regarded as the protector of Chongqing's survival, as long as he is mentioned, people will inevitably think of the firm eyes, thick Thick cheeks, almost masochistic seriousness.

But that's actually just an illusion created by Mars.

But what is the connection between Phantom and Mars' defense?he wondered.

"Mr. Q is respected by the imitators in Chongqing, they think he is the savior of Chongqing, he saved them and gave them life, so they built a statue to commemorate him, but they don't know that doesn't exist." Fan Liu With a cold mockery, which is the opposite of his usual kindness, "They respect him so much that many people often put their heads down when they pass by him, and even if the spaceship flies past Mr. Q, they will deliberately move away." Eyes, don't look at him."

Zhang Luotuo restrained the feeling of wanting to raise his head, his heart was pounding.He felt that Fan Liu mentioned something that needed attention. Q.That false patron saint, but he didn't know how far Fan Liu had submerged.

Maybe Qiao De had the same question as him, or deliberately showed a similar expression to let Fan Liu notice: "I don't know very well..." He whispered, his voice was justly puzzled.

"You still don't understand, Joad? - the secret about Q?" Fan Liu sat up, his holographic image moved accordingly, clicked, the colored light flickered for a while, and made a hissing sound .

Hearing the rubbing sound of Qiao De's clothes, Zhang Luotuo seemed to be nodding slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and listened intently.

what secret?Secret about Q?Zhang Luotuo bit his lip, moved his eyeballs, and stared at the gray light in front of him because he squinted his eyes.

Fan Liu sighed, perhaps dissatisfied with Joad's abnormal level tonight, shook his head, and lowered his voice to a very low level, almost like a slight electric current: "In this case, I'll just say it straight. Mars took advantage of people's respect This point of Q, because everyone respects Q, almost no one dares to look at Q, and Mars took advantage of this loophole, cleverly hiding the last line of defense of the city in this loophole."

The room suddenly became very quiet, and even the noise of the market in the distance outside the window was clear.

Zhang Luotuo held his breath. Q.He listened closely, feeling dizzy, but refused to let go of anything.

Shouldn't.he thought in shock.

Fan Liu continued to take a sip of wine slowly, let out an addictive exclamation, burped lightly, and said in a drunken and casual tone: "That is to say - hidden in this metropolis - people come and go In the city center where tens of 10 people pass by every day, in the Q sculpture."

Q, that meaningless statue of a god, suddenly collapsed at this moment.

Zhang Luotuo heard the buzzing sound of tinnitus at this moment.

And Fan Liu must not have felt it, because he continued to say indifferently: "Because they dare to bet that no one would dare to observe Q carefully. They all respect him so much that they are afraid, so no one must have found out about Mr. Q." Secrets... the most dangerous place is the safest place."

His voice was high, with an uncontrollable sense of fun and laughter: "Actually, as long as you look up and observe Q carefully, you will find something unusual. That mechanism is hidden somewhere in the statue of Q—but it won't Yes, because no one dares to look at Q."

Zhang Luotuo didn't know if Qiaode was stunned, but Zhang Luotuo guessed that he was similar to him, and he didn't expect this answer.Because Joad's breathing has been getting heavier since just now, he calmed down for a while before he suppressed the uneven breathing, followed Fan Liu's rhythm, and nodded slightly—although the nod was more like a kind of gesture. camouflage.

No one would have thought of this answer, neither did Zhang Luotuo.Neither do people in Chongqing.They all regarded him as a god, even after Zhang Luotuo knew that it was false, he couldn't help but still be manipulated by that majesty.And the management department didn't care about him, because they knew that Q was a fake, so no one of them paid attention to him, saw him, and he was hiding under their noses.

"As long as you have the courage... the switch to control something will be exposed, and the secret will be broken." Zhang Luotuo heard Fan Liu's voice rushing towards him in his vague thoughts, and Fan Liu continued to talk , "But no one will do it, not even in this city, because they don't dare, even if they find out, they all know that Q is invulnerable."

Fan Liu narrowed his eyes, smiled smugly, and seemed to be looking at Joad: "This is really interesting, isn't it? This is a thinking trap—it's artificially set, and it's actually not difficult—but they can't see through—"

His outburst of laughter was a little different from last time, this time it felt more relaxed.Zhang Luotuo noticed his laughter, which pierced his eardrums and hit him.

He felt his tongue tingle, half confused and half shocked.In addition, he felt something was wrong.Pulling himself together from the dizziness, he searched for a moment, quickly grabbing his dizzy cock.This time, Fan Liu didn't make it clear what Q's mechanism is, where it is hidden, and what its use is like when he told them the previous two times. He didn't make it clear. A certain is a network, but jump over and use "something" to refer to.

He only said Q, talked about it and laughed at it only a little bit, but bypassed the key proposition: what exactly Q is guarding.Perhaps it was his alcoholism that made him feel that this topic was irrelevant, but Zhang Luotuo was worried about another situation—maybe his alcoholism did not make him drunk to such an extent that he refused to reveal it.

Apparently, Qiao De also noticed some concealment of Fan Liu's words. He thought, swallowing those things that were obviously as shocked as Zhang Luotuo, because he was tripped by the degree of difficulty this time, but he just frowned and said for a long time. Silent, did not question Fan Liu as before.

There is a limit to doubts and inquiries, and when risks are discovered, enough is enough. He understands this kind of truth very well. Joad is an absolute elite who controls himself.

Fan Liu didn't notice Qiao De's silence, he became excited again because of talking about Q, and the conversation was aroused: "Therefore-only when these three are assembled, the defense line will be broken. These three are actually It is the most necessary, the outermost seemingly insurmountable city border program is actually dispensable, the key is the core, only when they are breached, the program will be breached."

His voice sounded very friendly, casual, and therefore malicious: "So those imitators who wanted to break out died in vain."

Zhang Luotuo's heart trembled slightly, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled away from the thinking and anxiety about Q, and he returned to the present moment.

Dead in vain.Fan Liu's contemptuous voice.Zeng Lin's face flashed across his mind, and he was lying on the ground like a stray dog.And Bai died is Fan Liu's general term for people like him.

He clenched his fist lightly, controlled his breathing, and suppressed himself.

Joad didn't show much expression on his face, but Fan Liu, who was full of drunkenness, still caught something quietly.

"What's wrong with you?" Fan Liu straightened up and said in confusion, he saw some emotions in Joad - as for other emotions, maybe because he was too drunk, he didn't think about it.

There was a cliff-like silence.Zhang Luotuo opened his fist lightly, he was a little worried, he wanted to see Qiao De, but he didn't dare to open his eyes, he was pretending to be drunk now, if he opened his eyes, Fan Liu might see him through.

"I just don't understand." Fortunately, after a while, Joad replied.Zhang Luotuo's heart was put back into his chest.He noticed that there was nothing unusual in Joad's voice, he was very restrained, except for some confusion, no emotion, no tenderness, no anger, nothing, just like the usual most perfect Joad, completely rational and indifferent prevail.

"Don't understand what?" Fan Liu said.

"I don't understand the connection between the three." Joad said, "The three traps you mentioned sound like they don't matter."

This is also Zhang Luotuo's question.electricity, network. Mr. Q's eyes, they sounded separate, without any connection to the city's borders.Fan Liu's thinking seems to be a bit unconstrained.

Fan Liu shook his head, and he gestured to him with an unusually forgiving tone: "You are a smart boy."

He raised his head solemnly, and said in a drunk but solemn and even logical tone: "The reason why I said that the procedures of the city border will be conquered is because they are connected. What stops them on the border is actually A program, and the operation of the program depends on what I just said. They are like four locks on a door. Others can only see the keyhole, which is the border of the city. They try to break through it, but of course they can only fail But the key is actually the following three combination locks: electricity, network, and the sculpture of Q. Only when you unlock those three locks, you can break through the city border, because the program is built by these three combination locks -"

After he finished all this, the rim of the wine glass flew crookedly from the air, but he didn't feel it.Alcohol has controlled his neurons, making him drunk, as if walking in the void, maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just keeps talking, keeps talking, like a machine that can't be stopped .

Joad frowned, and calmly asked a question that was clearly set up: "But if it's so easy, you only need to turn off the electricity and the network, and the statue of Q...you can escape from here, then why no one does it?" ?”

Fan Liu may have been too drunk, he didn't notice it at all: "Of course not. You are a smart boy, you should understand. The first is that no one knows, not even you. If I don't tell you, your life No one will know how it works. The second is the system in Chongqing. We told you that the counterfeit people are managed by you, and the counterfeit people think they are real people. We even let them create counterfeit people to provoke them and The chaos among their fakes, for example, they spontaneously organized an organization against fakes, they were too obsessed with consolidating their position, completely unable to look at the outside world, they were defeated internally."

Third—” He thought for a while, and seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say, he paused before continuing, his tone became serious, “Third, you know that Mars doesn’t like mistakes.One more condition is needed to open the border program, that is, the order of the above three cracks must be the network system, the power system, and the statue of Q.Not if the order is reversed. "

He yawned, as if he was a bit tired of explaining: "And once someone cracks the first system, that is, presses the siren, the other two will sense that they are in a state of critical preparedness, and the difficulty of cracking becomes ten times higher than usual. At the same time The data will be sent to Mars immediately, and they will immediately send people from the management department, that is, you, to take emergency measures to catch the threatening people and deal with them—"

Wearily, he described it in one word: "That is to say... one percent chance... it's hard to fly..." He leaned back on the chair, looking a little sleepy, with his translucent white body showing behind him The leather pattern of the chair.

Joad noticed this yawn, just like he noticed Fan Liu's drowsiness before. As time went by, Fan Liu's drowsiness became more and more obvious.

"Do you want to sleep?" Joad sat up and asked with concern.

He looked at the clock just right: "It's already eleven fifteen."

Fan Liu covered his temples: "I'm really a little sleepy... Drinking alcohol will always make me feel sleepy, it's just like getting old."

He raised his head and asked vaguely, "Then is there anything else you want to ask me?" He looked at Joad, who seemed to be falling asleep.

Joad shook his head, and said in a respectful and polite tone, "I don't think so." Zhang Luotuo knew that he had almost finished asking what Joad wanted to know, so there was no need for him to pester him any longer.

Fan Liu nodded weakly. His eloquent speeches and alcohol had exhausted all his energy before, and now he seemed to just want to fall into an old sleep.

"Then..." He covered his mouth gently to prevent a yawn from slipping out.

He opened his cloudy eyes and waved his hand to Joad: "Children, I will bring you gifts, and I will give them to you when you return to Mars."

Zhang Luotuo felt that Qiao De trembled slightly beside him, but that feeling disappeared immediately, and instead, Qiao De answered Fan Liu calmly and calmly: "Okay."

"As for him—" Fan Liu didn't notice the change in Qiao De's expression, he looked at Zhang Luotuo dimly.

Qiao De touched Zhang Luotuo lightly, Zhang Luotuo pretended to be ignorant, and only slowly raised his head after Qiao De patted him three times in a row. After Big A rubbed his eyes, he said, "Did I fall asleep—what's going on—"

Then he looked at Fan Liu, but Fan Liu didn't look at him, Fan Liu's eyes were out of focus, so the holographic image looked more like a dream: "You—" Fan Liu said, "Let Big A give it to you again." If you prescribe a few medicines, your arm will not have much problem."

Zhang Luotuo immediately stood up, pretending to stumble, his brain was swallowed by alcohol, Joad gently supported him to prevent him from falling down, Zhang Luotuo pretended to be okay and waved to him, and followed Big A. He waved his wings and signaled Zhang Camel to follow him.

Zhang Luotuo walked over, only to realize that Big A had already prepared wisely.It held a small pouch in its beak, which contained black pills.

He bent down and took the medicine from Big A: "Thank you." He whispered.

Then he returned to Joad again, and Joad handed him a glass of water: "Clear your throat."

Zhang Luotuo understood what he meant, he took the water without saying a word, and swallowed the colorless liquid.

Watching him swallow the medicine, Qiao De raised his head, nodded to Fan Liu, and said goodbye: "Then you go to bed early--" But he didn't finish speaking, and stopped in the middle of speaking, Zhang Luotuo was taking the blue The tea cup was placed on the table, he was a little curious about Joad's sudden pause, and also a little curious that Fan Liu would not answer Joad's greeting, so he raised his head cautiously.He saw Fan Liu's head point by point, the translucent liquid-like holographic image flickered in the air, the light in his eyes became more and more cloudy, he seemed to have heard Joad's words, but he didn't respond, he was too sleepy I'm going to sleep now.

"I'll take you out." It took him a while to wake up and respond to Joad, but he just said that sentence vaguely and didn't move. Obviously, alcohol had covered everything in him.His crutches were laid aside, like discarded garbage, he slowly closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and looked at them blankly, as if he would fall asleep the next moment - he drank too much and was in a hurry .

Qiao De signaled Zhang Luotuo not to disturb Fan Liu, but followed him out the door. Zhang Luotuo leaned on Qiao De's back, nodded slightly to Big A again, and followed him out.

Qiao De walked out of the door first, Zhang Luotuo followed, Zhang Luotuo turned his head, ready to close the door of Fan Liu's house gently, then left with Qiao De, and ran out of Qianhui Market under the eyes of bounty hunters, gangsters, and street vendors , to the four-kilometer boat parking lot.He knew that there, they would have a lot to say with Zheng Zheng and Lu Xing, a lot - about the city.

He raised his head slightly, and saw Fan Liu's glowing white body lying on the chair.

The tired face, the light polluted by the blue curtains.Fan Liu seemed to have fallen asleep.Zhang Luotuo thought, he closed the door gently and looked at Fan Liu.

But, suddenly, Fan Liu turned his head slightly, and his lips began to move.Zhang Luotuo blinked, thinking it was his hallucination, but he soon realized it wasn't.

The gap in the door became smaller and smaller, and when the door was about to close, Fan Liu's eyes slightly opened.

Gray eyes, a majestic immeasurable gaze.That line of sight looked exactly at Zhang Luotuo outside the crack of the door.

The gaze was very sharp, and the drunkenness completely disappeared.

Zhang Luotuo trembled, his eyes widened.

But in the next second, that sharp gaze had disappeared.Fan Liu closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Everything is like an illusion.

He closes the door.
