Chapter 23 Departure and Arrival

Lin Huaimeng chose to accept Bella's kindness while hesitating, and the other party showed a rare smile because of this. Her facial features were delicate, and there was even a shallow dimple on her cheek, but it was not easy to detect, but when she was not smiling, she showed a trace of rejection. Indifference thousands of miles away.

Bella said dryly, "Then I'll clean up the rest of the tables first."

Lin Huaimeng replied with a guilty conscience: "Okay, there is no need to wipe it so clean, it makes me very embarrassed, how can there be a guest to help me?"

Bella was laughing, the sun was shining on her body, and her complexion was much better. The eyes she was looking at were faintly glowing because of the sun. This light appeared and disappeared every time. Sometimes, you can only see the beautiful pupil color, as usual.

At first, Lin Huaimeng thought it was his own illusion, but after careful observation, he realized that it was true. Bella's eyes were as magical as a cat's eyeballs. Those emerald green pupils were like clear gemstones, and occasionally they would be covered by the backlight. A wonderful color cast, similar to dark green mixed with silver light, shining brightly.

In the past, the true face that was covered under the mask was this harmless appearance.

Bella squinted her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then sank into a small dimple on her cheeks, her expression became vivid.

"No, I owe you more."

When Bella said this, the shopkeeper didn’t refuse any more. She started to wipe every table with a rag, and wiped every corner carefully, even if it was a dead corner. , every table has a new look, neater than when it was dragged back from the furniture store.

Lin Huaimeng washed all the dishes. When she lived alone, what she disliked the most was washing dishes. The greasy dishes always made her hands smell of oil. Now she opened a restaurant by accident. My own bad habits have been corrected.

The owner wiped the water on the plates with a dry cloth, and put them one by one on the draining rack. At noon in summer, people always feel drowsy. The sun is shining brightly. Even if the indoor temperature is not high, it can Feel the eyelids start to fight.

The owner rubbed his eyes tiredly to cheer himself up.

Bella didn't know when she quietly approached behind the shopkeeper. Lin Huaimeng suddenly saw many people around her when she opened her eyes. This sudden figure frightened the sleepy bugs in her body as if she fainted.

"My God, why are you walking silently?"

Bella walks quietly. She is like a stalker, quietly pretending that she does not exist. This is just a habit that has been developed for a long time. Her unconscious small movements seem to scare the other party, so she hangs her head uneasy apologize.

"Sorry, I accidentally scared you. I think you were sleepy just now. Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Lin Huaimeng yawned and shook his head, "If you don't sleep, there may be guests in the afternoon, and the more you sleep in the afternoon, the sleepier you will be."

"Why don't you go to sleep, you saved so much blood just now, you should have a good rest."

Bella came to the kitchen mainly to clean the rags on her hands. Seeing her intention, Lin Huaimeng turned sideways to give up the seat of the sink, turned on the faucet, and clear water gushed out easily.

Although Bella has never seen such a device, she can understand its purpose, so she just rubbed the rag on her hands, and the flowing water kept rinsing the back of her hands. By the way, she politely declined the shopkeeper's kindness.

"I don't need it either. The divine power of the Sky One has healed the wound. My body has no problems and I don't feel sleepy."

She wrung out the small rag, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I'm leaving soon, I can't stay here for too long, there are still some things that need me to come forward."

Lin Huaimeng didn't expect the parting to come so soon. Compared with the parting itself, what worries her more is the current situation of the world over there, "Are you going back okay?"

Bella shook her head, "It's fine."

Bella is unwilling to talk too much about herself, and she is even more unwilling to mention dangerous places. If she stays in the small restaurant for one minute longer, the external situation may become unmanageable. Syndra's assassination failed. , his whereabouts are unknown, I am afraid that there will be a storm in the dungeon.

The dungeon is not only a prison, but also a chaotic country. The huge cage shaped by the sky with divine power has an unimaginable area and terrain. There are huge mines and endless deserts. The layers may be completely different. world.

It is also possible for prisoners to go to different floors, but they need to submit an application in advance to go through the teleportation array, but it will cost a lot of money to have a chance to go back and forth.

The floor area of ​​any floor in the dungeon is not small, and it may be so vast that it can accommodate twice the current population. It's just that everyone is not satisfied with the status quo and longs for the so-called freedom and feels small.

Bella has no desire for freedom, the world has always been a purgatory, there is no difference between going out and coming in, but she wants to live, live with the strength in her hand, and dominate other people's lives, it is better than being slaughtered by others A hundred times better.

The dungeon lost its word of peace in its own chaos and disorder. The residents of the dungeon did have the slight possibility to create an ordinary world similar to the outside world, but how many prisoners who came here were not vicious?

The city uses special coins as the currency in circulation, and these coins will be used in transactions between prisoners, and you can also use the coins to go to any counter in the floor to apply for the purchase of needed things, but this application takes too long. People can't count on the review, and countless people don't even live to the day when they apply.

This result has led to frequent transactions between prisoners. For example, a cave beast can be sold for a sky-high price in the dungeon, and a living pharmacist has become the key protection object of everyone, even if he is a quack doctor. The charge is large-scale medical malpractice.

There are also people who were born here innocently due to the fault of their parents. Their birth is defined as a sin, but such babies are born all the time. The terrible environment creates their future temperament, and the population is in this dark underground. With more and more, there will be various needs.

Every prisoner works and mines during the day, and at night, he can go to the dark and simple entertainment venues to seek stimulation from women, fight and open casinos. Bella even knows that there is a large Colosseum on the 56th floor, which is not just for beasts. It was a bloody feast.

Do the regulators know?

The answer is obvious, they are naturally aware, they just turn a blind eye, they will not distribute food even though they know there is not enough food, and they will not take care of people who are constantly eating human lives in the dark corners, those who have done nothing wrong And why must the children who were involved in the incident be imprisoned in this dark place?

No one will answer these questions. The fact that the sinner is alive is forgiveness from the sky. Otherwise, in terms of the crimes committed by everyone, they should have been executed long ago.

There are riots in the underground city every year. Small riots may occur all the time, but once the Sky One appears, the surrender ability in the blood can easily suppress everything. Those crimes continue here, as if there is no end, Bella As a member of the sinners, I don't feel much about it. As for whether it is fair or not, it becomes less important than life.

Bella was grateful for the kindness given by the shop owner, but she couldn't repay all of this.

Bella is well aware of her own uncontrollability. She is in such a strange environment and will easily stir up the dark spots in her heart. Once it breaks out, no one can predict what terrible things will happen.

The greatest protection I can do for the shop owner is to keep dangerous people like myself away from this small restaurant that can bring people peace.

So Bella chose the safest farewell. Before she left, she looked at the shopkeeper for a long time. She didn't have a thousand words to say, and she didn't have too many concerns, but the last farewell always became more precious.

After leaving today, Bella intends not to step into this store again.

Lin Huaimeng stood at the door. She asked Bella if she needed anything else, but the other party just rejected all the good intentions. The shopkeeper was keenly aware of the changes in the other party, and she became like the unreasonable person at the first meeting. .

Bella put on the silver mask again, most of her delicate face was covered, and there was not much emotion in her faint green eyes, she just repeated to the shopkeeper, "I'm leaving."

Lin Huaimeng asked: "Then will you come again next time?"

Facing this question, Bella smiled, but did not give an answer immediately. She reached out and pushed open the wonderful portal, and stepped into the darkness alone, until the blackness swallowed her figure, and the door closed tightly again. closure.

Lin Huaimeng was left alone feeling lost.

.

A huge human-shaped mobile weapon numbered KA47 lay quietly on a desolate planet. It was covered with flowers and vines, and accumulated thick dust. I don’t know how long it has been silent here. A curious little bird, it stopped on the face of the humanoid weapon, chirping and chirping.

The machine fell into a sleep mode to avoid running out of energy, and the driver in the cockpit also closed her eyes tightly. She has short silver-white hair and her country's rune is branded on her face.

The pattern is like four red waves staggered, the pilot Aiwen was involved in the space-time gap in a fierce battle against the invaders from outer space.

The violent collision made Ivan lose consciousness, and the driver lost consciousness in the space-time gap. KA47 automatically entered the unmanned driving mode. Most of the energy is used to defend against the energy impact in the space-time gap, and immediately freezes the life of the driver Aiwen, allowing her to recover in a long time.

After wandering for a long time, KA47 finally landed on this unknown planet. However, it did not have any recorded information, so the position of the galaxy could not be judged. Aiwen, who had been frozen all the time, was suddenly shocked. She first sensed His hands and feet were numb, and then he suddenly opened his purple eyes.

The body's energy is insufficient, and the freezing time is terminated prematurely.

She watched the body go into hibernation on the main screen, and quickly judged the current situation in her mind, which might not be optimistic.

"AK47 activated."

The pitch-black screen began to light up with a faint blue light in an instant, and it began to run at a high speed in a dense manner. Aiwen's hand was fixed on the complicated control buttons on one side, and she began to input and start operations skillfully. Her purple eyes were engrossed in this on the main screen.

"Beep...beep...beep, the fingerprint verification is successful, the pupil verification is successful, the human figure verification is successful, the current man-machine matching degree is 75, excellent level.

"AK47 is starting up, the countdown is 10 seconds."

Aiwen listened to the familiar mechanical sound coming from his ear, and waited patiently for the ten seconds to pass.

"The AK47 has been activated successfully. It is currently located in an unknown galaxy, and there is no record yet. Urgent notification: the energy has dropped to 10. Please leave the driver's cab to supplement energy consumption."

"Urgent notice: the energy has dropped to 10, please leave the driver's cab to replenish energy consumption."

The siren sounded endlessly, and the red warning light began to flash. Ivan quickly took off the fixing device on his body, opened the chest cover of the humanoid machine, and climbed out of the cab. The first thing that greeted her was the dazzling sunlight.

She covered her eyes with her hands, and the powerful light made him feel very uncomfortable. The huge body of AK47 sank in a smashed hole, and it was surrounded by green weeds, and there was a yellow one that was not afraid of people. The bird stepped on the machine and didn't intend to leave when it saw Ivan.

"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"

Aiwen looked at everything around him in a daze. He took off the main board of AK47, and there was only a black object the size of a mobile phone, which was the most important part of the whole behemoth, and it also contained the artificial intelligence of AK47.

"Is this... flowers and plants?"

The AK47 scanned everything in view and responded, "Yes, this is a plant that has been extinct for 400 years."

"Based on the judgment, the ecological environment here should be similar to the cloud ball 1000 years ago."

"Low civilization?"

Based on the driver's questions, Ak47 began to conduct a detailed analysis of a larger area, and finally concluded that this is indeed a low-level civilization planet. The animals and plants have not been destroyed, and the planet is in a stable state, suitable for living things.

"To take the body away, we must first determine the specific coordinates here."

The huge body of the battle mech is compressed into a plane, its size is just enough to be stuck behind the motherboard, and it looks more like a mobile phone.

Aiwen is wearing a silver tight battle suit, showing a graceful figure, but the short silver hair and dress make her look abnormally abrupt. The mountains and forests here seem to have no end in sight.

This is the first time Aiwen has seen this kind of scene. Her knowledge of plants is more based on book knowledge. It has been too long since they disappeared in the clouds and stars. This emerald green appearance made her slow down her progress. pace.

AK47 had to enter sleep mode due to insufficient power.

Aiwen explored this strange planet by himself, and suddenly AK47 issued a warning sound.

"200 meters ahead, traces of supernatural abilities appear, and 200 meters ahead, traces of supernatural abilities appear."

Ivan asked vigilantly: "Is it dangerous?"

"No malice yet."

"Then go and have a look."

When Aiwen stopped, a small castle appeared in front of her, with bursts of white smoke coming out of the red chimney.

As a mecha pilot on the front line of the battle, Aiwen is not afraid of the dangers that may be encountered behind the door. She has enough hand-to-hand combat ability to protect herself, and it also has the final blow power of AK47.

Aiwen twisted the doorknob, and the wind chime suddenly rang. A clean and tidy restaurant appeared in front of Aiwen's eyes. A woman was sleeping soundly on the table. Aiwen frowned slightly, thinking about the current situation.

The sleeping woman is naturally the owner of the shop. She was so sleepy that she squinted on the table for a while. Before she closed her eyes for 10 minutes, she heard the sound of wind chimes. Lin Huaimeng opened her eyes, and it was Ai Wen in silver combat uniform .

She has silver-white hair, and her eyes are even more rare purple. Aiwen's eyes fell on Lin Huaimeng, and she spoke first: "Hello, what galaxy is this? I entered the time gap by mistake and couldn't tell Which galaxy exists at the current location."

"I'm from Cloud Star No. 47, the mech pilot of the Dikker Empire—Ivan, and this is my partner AK[-]."

Lin Huaimeng blinked her eyes dully. She listened to Ai Wen speak a bunch of words that she couldn't understand at all smoothly. It took a long time to digest every word before she realized what the other party said.

"Eh... this is a portal, you might be from a different world than mine? If it's a different world, it doesn't seem to work for me to tell you about my planet."

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, and she reconfirmed the geographical location with AK47, and indeed noticed that the coordinates here had changed.

"You are the first human being that I have met that can communicate. I wonder if I can have a chance to confirm whether the world you strayed into is the same as that of me?"

Lin Huaimeng agreed immediately, "But what should I do to help you?"

Ai Wen said: "Take the AK47 and return to the real space you are in. It only takes a second to delay, and it can immediately determine the position."

Lin Huaimeng took the machine over with a vague understanding, she opened the door and went out, and opened it back after a while. Under Aiwen's expectant eyes, AK47 reported the good news that they were indeed in the same world.

Aiwen patiently listened to the shopkeeper telling them that their planet is called the earth and it is in the solar system. When he heard about the solar system, Aiwen was taken aback. She looked at Lin Huaimeng in shock and said in disbelief: "The solar system has been around for a long time. disappeared into the universe."

Lin Huaimeng was also stunned for a moment, and she asked, "What year did you disappear?"

Aiwen couldn't answer this kind of off-the-wall question, so she turned to AK47 for help. It checked the literature and replied: "That is the year 3010 of the earth."

Lin Huaimeng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay, just destroy it casually, I won't survive."

When Aiwen heard this, his expression was even more astonished, "So what is it now?"

"2018."

Aiwen compared the time of the earth in 2018 with the time of his own planet. At that time, Yunxing was also in a low-level civilization, so even if he returned, it was not the empire he needed to rush back to. They drifted to a strange planet, and even traveled across time to the past time and space.

Lin Huaimeng saw that Ai Wen's expression became serious, so he had to bite the bullet and persuade: "This is a small restaurant, do you want to eat first?"

Ai Wen raised his head and repeated: "Eat?"

"Well, that's what, eat..."

Lin Huaimeng struggled with how to explain eating, but she danced and danced without expressing the true meaning of the word. In the end, AK47 gave an understandable answer. After Ai Wen understood the word, he accepted it without hesitation. The kindness of the other party.

"Thank you for your kindness to me, I appreciate you very much."

"It's okay, it's fate to get together, do you want to eat something?"

Aiwen replied: "You don't need to worry too much, and is there any energy available here? AK47 is already running out of energy."

"Well... there is electricity, and what diesel?"

Facing these two low-end energy sources, Ivan also fell into a temporary predicament. AK47 needs a lot of energy, and this is the effect of the new energy developed by the empire. If low-end energy is used to supplement it, It may take years.

Once these few years have passed, will I stay in this strange planet forever?

She looked at the AK47, which was running out of energy, and then at the shopkeeper, and had to give up the idea of ​​supplementing it first.

"It takes too long to supplement like that. I really can't delay you for such a long time. I will find another way."
