sin of lumen

Sure enough, He Zhensheng made a fuss: "The Lone Ranger has started to take in a little follower?"

Dun Mo didn't say anything, just let the bucket truck go ahead and stopped at the cargo hatch at the tail of the helicopter.He Zhensheng yawned and walked around, patted him on the shoulder, and began to look at Lu Ting, especially his mask.

"Hello." Alpha's strong gasoline smell was far and near, Lu Ting held his breath and did not want to breathe in, and stretched out his right hand a little cautiously.

"Oh, you're the one," He Zhensheng flicked his wrist twice, and suddenly realized, "Last time at the bar, Officer Lu!"

He saw that old-fashioned watch, and after meeting him once, it is still here.

"Mr. He still remembers me." Lu Ting smiled.

"Who else would wear this kind of antique and still put it on the right hand, or are you left-handed?" He Zhensheng still had the same grinning look, brushing past Lu Ting by himself, and climbing onto the mechanical puppy to watch The goods are gone.Deng Mochi had already got on the front of the car, sat on the iron casing of the engine, and watched him pick and choose.

Lu Ting didn't want to go up to smell the gasoline, so he looked up at them from below.

"These, five thousand, I only have five thousand." He Zhensheng squatted down, pinching two leather gloves with one hand, gesticulating a line with the other, and pointing to the side next to him.He rowed for himself about [-]% of the weight of the car.

Deng Mochi jumped off the front of the car, walked up to him stepping on the steel bars covered with the car, and tapped his finger with the sheathed knife. Lu Ting actually heard the sound of metal colliding, as if the finger was something hard.Standing on tiptoe again, Deng Mochi forced He Zhensheng to take two steps back, then drew out a long knife, and drew a new line with the tip of the knife at the [-]% position, "These are five thousand."

"I don't have so much money anymore, and the turnover is not very good recently, give me a discount?" He Zhensheng pushed his knife back.

"Then how much is enough?" Deng Mochi seemed impatient.

"Oh, it's okay," He Zhensheng immediately raised his hand in surrender, "Is this car good for ten thousand? You can't let me make more money."

1 yuan... Lu Ting knew that the cost of running his Aldebaran for a month was about 20 yuan, and it was still after he transformed it and used solar energy on a large scale.And this car is the result of the two of them saving for more than half a month.He suddenly felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart, and continued to look up guiltily, only to see Deng Mochi said "OK", then hung the electric arc knife back on his back, and pulled out the jacket collar that was pressed under the braces.

He Zhensheng sighed a few more times, saying to himself, "I'm going to lose money", took out a pair of red glasses from his trouser pocket, put it on, scanned Deng Mochi's phone, and completed the payment.Then he jumped into the cargo bay of the helicopter to take a place on the pulley, while Deng Mochi returned to the ground, stood beside Lu Ting, operated the four electromagnet clamp arms, and began to unload the cargo bit by bit.

The steel collided, and the sound of "Kala" sounded in succession, and iron filings and dust flew up. Lu Ting couldn't help watching it, he could only observe with his eyes wide open.

"Is his right hand a prosthetic?" He asked again, recalling the feel of the leather when he shook hands just now.

Dun Mochi responded, "En."

He Zhensheng also moved closer to the two of them, "Can you be more accurate? My name is the High Bionic Robotic Arm." He took off half of his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and made stretches and bends to show Lu Ting in all directions, "You Look, the whole arm is made of tungsten alloy, heat-resistant, wear-resistant and shock-resistant, directly controlled by nerve electrodes, and each joint is flexible. It is the same as the real one except that it has no sense of touch, and it is easier to match clothes than the real one. I'm an acquaintance with the boss, and one day I'm missing an arm or a leg when performing official duties, so I'll introduce you to do it."

Lu Ting moved his gaze away from the gleaming silver arm and put it on He Zhensheng's face: "Thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks," He Zhensheng patted Lu Ting's shoulder affectionately, using that heavy discus-like mechanical hand, "Who told me to owe my life to brother Deng, his little brother is my little brother."

"A life? Yours?"

"Yeah, it's near here. I fell from the sky and was picked up by him fortunately. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, right? He was a head shorter than me!" He Zhensheng sneezed and finally put the mask back on. , waved his hand and turned back to his cockpit, "But if I want to pay back my life now, I won't give it back."

Regarding this person's grotesque behavior, Deng Mochi kept his mouth shut, and seemed to have no intention of adding explanation.Seeing that the goods were unloaded, he led Lu Ting and his mechanical puppy with an empty bucket, and walked back to the safe house together.The airflow from the five-meter-long propeller whipped up the back of Lu Ting's leather coat, and soon the helicopter disappeared into the haze in the air.

After going back to the house and tidying up briefly, Lu Ting's spaceship is ready, and it will take off immediately after the two of them enter.Through the light screen and parameters on the glass, you can see the last rays of sunlight still floating in the sky.

"Where are we going?" Lu Ting leaned beside Deng Mochi with his hands behind his back, his eyes sparkling.

Deng Mochi located a red spot, which is called "Lunar**enue" on the map, and people used to call it "Mingyue City", because compared with the original road, it is more important to follow the mountain footline on both sides. A half-moon-shaped town that spread out.This living area with complete service functions and a tendency to expand year by year is located just below the first ring road in the center of the special zone, and it is also the street with the densest household population in the entire capital city.

"Moon City," Lu Ting wanted to call it, "I heard that there are a lot of eating, drinking and having fun there."

"Yes, there are many restaurants." Deng Mochi had already calculated the route.

"Don't you need to pick up your younger siblings first?" Lu Ting still asked, out of a rational sense of responsibility, although emotionally speaking he was actually reluctant.

"I invite you to dinner."

"Oh..." Lu Ting smiled subconsciously, and turned his face away, "To be honest, I don't want to bring others along either. I just can't be with others when I'm dating, whether it's relatives or friends."

Deng Mochi didn't deny the word "dating", but he didn't rule out that he didn't care about it at all. He simply explained: "My parents have received assistance from the He Zhensheng Family Foundation, so when I saw him, I took him out of Made it out of the crashed plane."

"His father," a guess suddenly flashed in Lu Ting's mind. His surname is He, a well-known philanthropist around 60 years old with a lot of money, and he also had a personal relationship with his father, "He Renju? The one who used to grow protein?"

Deng Mochi nodded: "I have already participated in the immigration plan."

Lu Ting frowned: "But I didn't take him with me. Doesn't that mean I won't be able to see him in this life."

Dun Mochi thought for a while, and said: "The crashed extraterrestrial vehicle was used for one person to escape after exiting the atmosphere. It is possible that everyone else died."

"No way, there can be no news about such a big event," Lu Ting sat on the operating table with his arms propped up, and recalled, "The immigration plan has been implemented for nine years, and the tenth year will soon pass. Isn't Mars City built?" Has it reached the third generation, there are only four casualties on the road, if you are sixteen or seventeen years old, that is 2092 or 93, neither of these two years."

"It's just my guess, my feeling." Deng Mochi put the long knife on the ground casually, and sat in the co-pilot.

"Could it be a concealment?" Lu Ting moved slowly along the edge of the table in front of him, "It seems inappropriate to ask him himself."

"He Zhensheng and I don't ask personal matters. Except when necessary, I also try to minimize contact with him," Deng Mochi's face became very cold at some point, he crossed his hands and stared straight at Lu Ting, "He is more dangerous than robbers, mutant dogs, and gamma rays."

Lu Ting raised his right hand subconsciously, and swore, "Then I won't touch it either."

Deng Mochi immediately said again: "Don't let him know your real name, Lu is the limit."

Lu Ting was startled, he had never seen such an expression on this face, obviously there was no expression at all, reflected in the Yinglan light screen, but it was still serious to the point of awe-inspiring.

"Except, except my family and friends," Lu Ting forgot to put down his hand, he opened his round eyes, and said obediently, "Only you know."

Hearing this, Deng Mochi leaned back in the chair, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Lu Ting indifferently, completely regaining his usual peace, and almost closed his eyes to rest his mind.

"Well, boss, have you considered changing your job?" Lu Ting was quiet for a while, and tried to ask, "It's so hard every day, and the surname He is so dangerous. Your skills can exchange hundreds of times your current income."

"I've had other jobs."

"What?" Lu Ting blinked, "Modeler? University teacher? Network engineer?"

"Model," Deng Mochi said solemnly, "that kind of prototype model of a virtual partner, and was finally fired because of a stiff expression. They said that my smile was not as realistic as the AI ​​simulation."

"...Fortunately, I was fired!" Lu Ting suddenly felt angry and funny. If Deng Mochi got that salary, how many virtual partners who were fine-tuned according to him would be hugged by others?Although the truth is still in front of him, Lu Ting does not guarantee that he will not do the absurd thing of asking his father to shut down that AI company and recall all the products.

"I think the technology industry is suitable for you." He added, "But even modeling is better than that kind of hard work."

Deng Mochi could clearly see the blush on his face, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and looked out the window into the darkness: "Picking up trash is not just for making money."

"Why then?"

"Get my things back," Deng Mochi seemed reluctant to say more, and changed the topic: "It can also help me maintain my physical strength. Many programmers become potatoes at the age of 30. So I must persist."

He actually made a joke.

And Lu Ting was indeed successfully teased. Regarding this ambiguity, even though he was still full of doubts, he still couldn't help laughing when he thought of the materials and parts that Deng Mochi had left in the safe house, just like every day. A young boy in love, smiling at his sweetheart, has only one thing on his mind.

"Then we'll eat potatoes tonight." He slid down from the console and touched Deng Mochi's knee with his thigh. "Just now I was thinking, can I hire you as my real partner? But I pondered again, How can a hired one be better than a chased one? With my charm - anyway, I'll continue to pick up trash with you, if you're in a good mood, you can still take me out for a date and dinner."

Speaking of this, Lu Ting realized that he couldn't continue, because the distance and the atmosphere at this time made him almost sit on Deng Mochi's lap in a flash, besides uttering silly words.

He hurriedly slipped back to the driver's seat and hurriedly buckled up his seat belt. From the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced to the side. Deng Mochi's eyes were gentle, and he stopped on him for two seconds without revealing his expression. Then he folded his arms and started I can't get tired of looking at the top of the cabin.

Lu Ting confirmed his two conclusions for the Nth time:

First, geniuses are often poor when they are young;

Second, geniuses require a lot of meditation.

Around the early seven o'clock, more and more dense spots of light began to appear under the haze layer, and they came dimly, and Mingyue City was about to arrive.The landing process must be careful, the buildings are uneven, the protruding billboards and sewage pipes are like checkpoints, hidden in the mysterious fog, testing Lu Ting's driving skills.There is also a dilapidated high-rise building, half of which is pressed on the roof on the other side, leaving only a large part of the reinforced concrete structure, with a few brackets propped up underneath, and it is even possible to change the direction to install a piece of glass to continue to live in. What's more The latter acts as an overpass bridge.

And the closer to the ground, the richer the light, and the sporadic blue and magenta hanging from the height on the wall of the high-rise building become lively and lively, achieving a delicate balance between pollution and decoration.However, there are no functional areas such as the apron everywhere. Deng Mochi said that there is no such thing here, so Lu Ting parked the spaceship in the open space at the end of a back alley, and recorded the coordinates in the wristband. Carrying long knives and police satchels each, they walked through the dark alley and walked to the street together.

It had just rained, and the ground was still very damp. There were shallow puddles of water, which could not flow into the gutters on the side of the street.I did not see a second docked spaceship along the way, and the more common one was a hoverbike.This is only the street closest to the edge, like a nervous system at the end of the fingertips. As for the size of Mingyue City, it can only be said that if it suddenly disappeared, the capital would drop at least 80% of its natural population and 50% The gross production value of the entire federation is also an irreversible loss.

Since the second half of the century, the Tropic of Cancer has been gradually invaded by the polar climate. The surviving 1.5 million humans in the world gather on both sides of the equator, which is less than half the length of the land, separated by the ocean. Mingyue City is like a place for keeping warm an ark.

Now standing on its outer edge, looking at the map in his hand, Lu Ting only feels small.

Bars, lottery halls, mahjong halls, billiards rooms... Why are the ostentatious signs at the entrance of these stores so gaudy and so beautiful.Crowds gather everywhere and no one seems to stay anywhere.It is completely different from the SAR's pursuit of a minimalist sense of technology.Looking up, I saw a holographic projection standing in the middle of the crossroads. This blue-haired girl in a short scarlet cheongsam was ten stories tall, looking around with a smile, sandwiched between the neon lights of Chinese restaurants and Japanese karaoke bars, Actions such as cooking and dancing are simulated.Pedestrians are at her feet, walking hurriedly through her body.

And she kept saying softly: "Sariel, your forever faithful housekeeper, give you a well-organized room and a lot of love."

Such advertisements can be seen everywhere in the special zone, but it is the first time for Lu Ting to stand on the ground and look up, which also makes him feel small.

"Why is it named after the fallen angel?" Lu Ting pulled Deng Mochi's cuff, "Sariel, is in charge of the moon? Because this is Moon City? I remember he fell into the sky later."

Deng Mochi looked sideways: "The mystery of religion can increase sales, because most people don't remember religion, and they think it is beautiful."

Lu Ting took his arm directly, with a smile in his eyes: "Then if you hadn't been fired, what angel would you have been named? Michael? Raphael? Lucifer? I heard that Lucifer is the most beautiful , is the messenger of light."

"Isn't that you?" Deng Mochi took a bigger step, but he didn't let go of the hands that were entangled with him. He just explained this piece of knowledge in an orderly manner, "the ancient Latin word for 'light' is' Lux', 'bring' is 'ferre', and the combination of the two words is Lucifer. Later Lucian, Lucy, and then Lu are all variants of it. It is also said that he is the bringer of the dawn, and removes the moon before dawn The brightest celestial body is Venus, which is also the source of early human worship of the morning star."

Lu Ting rubbed his eyes and expressed his admiration unabashedly: "Boss, you know everything. There is no such thing on the Internet. I find both Western and Eastern religions very interesting. In the end, they are all masked words!"

Deng Mochi said: "It's in the book."

Lu Ting hugged his arms in front of his chest and leaned against his shoulders, the hair in the twisted part was picked up by static electricity, and the fluff was upturned, "Anyway, if I don't know anything in the future, I will ask you. "

Deng Mochi glanced at the signboards all over the street. The rain evaporated and the wet floor flooded the floor, making the overflowing vegetables from those stores suffocate. "I'll lend you a book," he said.

"Can I still ask you after borrowing the book? If I can't ask, I won't read it." Lu Ting was blatant and ignorant.

"..." Deng Mochi chose to remain silent. He took a fancy to a Hong Kong-style restaurant with a signboard in traditional Chinese, because Lu Ting's pheromone surrounded him, which seemed to have some kind of purification effect, making him disgusting in the streets. Judging from the human taste, the dishes wafting out of this restaurant are the most fragrant.

So he half dragged and half dragged Lu Ting to the brown-green iron gate with yellow glass, "Xiangxiang Tea Restaurant", with bold red letters on the glass, and the old-fashioned floor tiles are very colorful, like pebbles.Seeing a waiter come up to meet him, Lu Ting stopped playing tricks immediately, and pressed his bag vigilantly in the crowded hall of the restaurant, while gently pinching the cuff of the person beside him with his other hand.

"Let me ask you a question too." Deng Mochi stopped in front of a table for two, and the last table hadn't been cleaned up yet, so he looked at the leftovers, half-closed his eyes, more like a kind of inquiry Meaningful observation.

"If you have questions, you can answer them. It's not difficult to ask again." Lu Ting promised, "The police in this film will answer you with all my heart."

"What dish has potatoes in it?"
