The things that human beings really need are very few.

[Part 1·Travel and Tourism]
A short video is playing on the phone——
——The boss stood solemnly on his desk, picked up the laurel wreath and walked towards the eldest sister.
"Wearing this golden hoop, you will no longer be a mortal. From now on, you will not be able to touch any love in the world."
Gloria accepted the ceremony and then took off the crown.
She said: "But luckily I can take it off."
...
...
Xueming pursed her lips and smiled, using the last communication base station to fully charge her mobile phone. By the way, she took a look at the old and new life of the great good cat. When she heard Aohen Mingde's voice, it seemed that the spiritual pressure environment of Howling Wind Ridge could not hurt him.
.
He put on his headphones and then swiped the screen to watch other home videos.
To be honest, Amin has never been a person who likes taking photos and videos——
——He once told Meteor that he didn’t like taking pictures.
The ritual of taking photos is very interesting and has strong psychological implications. People always want to leave the best version of themselves in front of the camera.
In the earliest days, people felt that this kind of ritual had no practical significance. He wanted to live in the real world every minute. The photo album became thicker and thicker, and the time left in his memories became longer and longer. When he returned to real life, there was only
Intense emptiness and loneliness.
If the people in the image never come back, that feeling of loneliness will destroy a brave and passionate heart.
But today, he is thirty years old and already has four children.
Compared with himself six years ago, he can feel the subtle changes in his mind and body all the time. He is not as meticulous and meticulous as he was six years ago, and he is not as sharp as he was when he was young. His brain has become slower, and his hands and feet are not as flexible.
.
As he gradually reached his prime, he felt that the pace of life had slowed down, from intense and high-spirited metal music to rock music.
Wrinkles appeared at the end of his eyes, and he occasionally made exaggerated expressions to tease the children, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper and deeper.
The scar on his hand was left when he reversed the boring tool. He likes to repair engines, and he especially likes boring cylinder blocks. He sees the burrs and iron thorns become regular and smooth. He talks to people in the Anonymous office about the pressure accumulated by being righteous and human.
, will also be soothed.
Compared with when he was twenty-three or fourteen years old, his physical fitness has become stronger. His appearance has also become ordinary, from the pretty boy he used to be to a man with a resolute temperament.
In the past few years of getting along with his wife and children, family life has made him softer. In the past, Xueming rarely joked, but the little babies couldn't bear to see such a scary father, and were often frightened to tears by this strange father - for
For the physical and mental health of the babies, he must make changes.
Six months ago, Jiang Xueming ended his long expedition. This was the first time after one hundred and eighty-four days that he returned to the wilderness and began to explore the unknown land again.
The feeling of stepping on the stone ballast road with thick-soled leather boots is very good. The mountain breeze carries warm water vapor, and if you smell it carefully, there is a salty smell. Xueming's rich experience immediately makes a judgment - there is an ocean nearby.
There is also the smell of rust in the sea breeze, because the coastal strata contain hematite and aluminum ore, and are rich in heavy metal mineral resources.
Relying on two legs, he followed Yingshi all the way to the periphery of the Howling Ridge Tunnel. The layers of cracks, ravines, stone platforms and complex earth veins formed a beautiful scenery.
Xueming squatted beside a vein, carefully checked the composition of the soil, and then took out a multimeter and a psychic probe from his carrying bag.
The multimeter is the most common electrical maintenance equipment. We have seen the psychic probe in the volume of Lingyun. It is a prop used by the security team of the Red Stone Rock Band to detect the concentration of spiritual disasters.
He grounded the multimeter and connected it to the headlight circuit to observe the voltage difference between the front and rear ground.
Then use the psychic probe to test again and again——
——The probe readings are all [out of specification]. The concentration of spiritual disasters here has always exceeded the standard. It is an environment unsuitable for Homo sapiens to survive. If people live in this environment for a long time, they will continue to lose their mental strength and will.
With increasing power, the madness index will gradually increase, eventually leading to complete madness.
This phenomenon is also consistent with the information provided by Mr. Heian - only people after the venom mechanism has been transformed are qualified to live in Shinto Castle.
However, Xueming did these things not only to review the basic environment of the two places before and after, but because when he stepped on the stone ballasted road just now, his keen inspiration could detect the subtle differences.
There is an invisible boundary line on the road 150 meters away from the entrance of Howling Ridge Tunnel and 84 meters away from the frontline stronghold.
The multimeter showed an obvious voltage difference here, the potential of the two places is different, and there is current flowing through it - indicating that the geological rock formations and minerals here have shifted, and the activity of a large amount of current has caused the magnetic field to change accordingly.
When the psychic probe moved rapidly between the two places, the readings also jumped violently. This phenomenon also occurred in the Death Couple Mechanism.
Different areas controlled by runes have different spiritual pressures and different magnetic fields, so what is certain is that the culprit of the ghost wall-breaking phenomenon that Ah Xing and Ping An encountered, which caused them to run around in circles, is in this area.
Under the land.
The boundary line where the massif rock formations are displaced is right here.
Xueming specially summoned his soul power and asked Fengfang Huanmeng to stand outside the extreme range of sixteen meters. He threw the psychic probe to the spirit body and asked his good brother the spirit body to report the readings. Along this boundary line, he shot from the mountain
Walk to the outermost side of the railway, next to the cliff close to the river valley.
He took out the fluorite from his carrying bag, crushed it, turned it into a handful of luminous powder, and spread it evenly on the border line. This was a simple mark. If this place shifted again,
You can tell something fishy at a glance.
It took him about ten minutes to finish these things. He rushed to the tunnel without stopping and saw the hematite pit where the rock burst occurred. When the next time the rock formation released pressure, the incoming psychic tide almost forced him to retreat.
Half step.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Flying sand and rocks rushed out of the pit at once, and the entire tunnel trembled.
It was at this time that he also heard the Japanese sentence "Come back"——
——The feeling is like thousands of wandering spirits gathered together, shouting towards the exit of the tunnel, without joy or sadness, repeating "come back" like a machine.
Xueming quickly passed through the entrance of the hematite pit and walked a few hundred meters further to the area of Shiqiu Town.
He followed the trajectory of the meteor, crossed 16 large billboards, recorded the scenery along the street with pen and paper, and drew portraits of Matsushima Seiko.
He thought to himself - there seems to be a convergence in the cultural landscape of Shiqiu Town.
People who once lived here all had the same idol, Matsushima Seiko.
This feeling is so weird, it's like we go back to the 1980s, there is such a town, there are hundreds of kilometers of roads in it, all the cultural impressions, all the advertising endorsements are from the same person.
At this time, Amin didn't know that "typical people" existed.
Shiqiu Town is a satellite town of Xiao Guandong. According to this set of logic, scientific research and technology create production tools, production tools affect living standards, and living standards determine ideological construction - then Shiqiu Town is close to Howling Ridge and the civilized world.
As a transit station, the people who once lived here accepted the transformation of Venom around 1984 and accepted the standard aesthetic. Matsushima Seiko became the standard aesthetic of citizens.
Unlike big cities with administrative agencies like Xiao Guandong, before the popularization of [Elysium Space], the ecology of Shiqiu Town would be more primitive and more humane - Xueming felt this human touch when he came to the cemetery.
...
...
[part2·Why did you provoke him?]
Go over the fence of the guard box and walk inside, from the simplest cyber electronic cemetery youth version to the mountainside dog villa pro/plus/max and other variants and upgrades.
Jiang Xueming also kept saying "Good guy!" and walked up.
In his whole life, he has never seen such an outrageous one-stop funeral service. This is too science fiction... Oh no, it is too fantasy.
Many of the software corpses in Shiqiu Town are working ghosts who are not qualified to enter the "Elysium Space". Before their death in 1984, people used electronic cemeteries to express their grief and want to leave their deceased relatives and friends behind.
In the human world, there are these softwares.
Upgrading services for cemeteries is also a part of stimulating economic consumption. People spend money on ghosts, which can slowly upgrade these electronic ghosts step by step. Finally, after being reviewed at all levels, they become excellent waiters or are reprocessed into modules.
, and finally moved into [Elysium Space].
When Xueming arrived at the top of the short hill in the cemetery, he saw a construction team repairing the shrine's tomb.
There was a warning cord with flashing neon lights surrounding the outside, and he observed the inside of the cemetery from outside the cordon.
Four groups of drones flew up and down, divided into six different sizes, a total of twenty-four. Under the command of the executioner on night patrol, they piled new materials on the broken tombstones.
Xueming took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the scene.
The executioner immediately turned around, as if he felt the weak current change when the camera took pictures.
They were about forty meters apart and looked at each other.
At that moment time slowed down——
——Jiang Xueming said nothing, just looked at this powerful enemy.
The code on the forehead of the executioner has a factory number. This face has been refurbished, and the code has an x renovation mark at the end. The first letter of the code is c3, which is the third generation of prosthetic bones.
The median number of codes is 5101. Brother Ping An said that this is the number of the 51-pillar regional arsenal. At the guard post in Ginza Town, he has seen many typical people on night patrol.
There is a troop number marked in red at the front of the tail - the executioner is the 13th Sheriff of Shiqiu Town. All his colleagues have retired and he is the latest one.
Xueming said hello: "Hello? Should I speak Japanese or English?"
The compound sight in the executioner's eyes quickly locked onto this foreign creature.
He followed his head and turned around. The scene was very strange, like moving the body of a bird but not moving its head, as it had a very precise gyroscope.
He placed his hands flat on his crotch, seemingly letting down his guard. In fact, his legs were already pointing straight towards Jiang Xueming, ready to activate the nano armor and approach the target at any time.
"what do you?"
At such a long distance, the executioner's biosignal recognition system was unable to identify Jiang Xueming's DNA profile——
——When in contact with a meteor, the executioner can rely on heat-sensing vision or collect pheromones to determine what the meteor is.
Luo Ping'an was in a spirit form and could not be recognized by the executioner, so he was in a state of preparedness when meeting him.
Jiang Xueming raised his hands high and explained his intention.
"I am a passenger at Jiujie Station!"
The executioner walked forward step by step, very slowly and very carefully.
He is like a timid rabbit, because in the visual center of the venom mechanism, in the visual signal provided by the pair of electronic eyes, in addition to this humanoid unit claiming to be a passenger, there is also an unknown psychic unit - that is Snow
Ming's soul power.
The executioner reached the limit where the biometric system could take effect, and was only eight meters away from Jiang Xueming.
"Are you a psyker?"
Jiang Xueming: "Yes, I am a VIP at the station. My name is Jiang Xueming."
Executioner: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xueming: "A companion got separated from me. I have to take him back."
"Do you have a companion?" The executioner looked back at the tomb and became suspicious: "The companion you mentioned is one person? Or two people?"
Jiang Xueming: "It's just one person, have you seen him?"
Executioner: "Identity information?"
Jiang Xueming: "His name is Bu Liuxing. Did he show you the crew card? Have you heard of this name?"
Executioner: "The person you are talking about has voluntarily become a legal citizen of Shinto City."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What do you mean?" Jiang Xueming still raised his hands high, "He doesn't plan to go back?"
The executioner nodded and explained patiently.
"Any intelligent life that enters Shinto City should stay here."
"Eternal Life will take good care of you, and you will join the community and build your own little community."
"Excellent psychics like you are very precious material."
Jiang Xueming: "I can't leave either?
Speaking of this, Xueming lowered his hand slightly.
The executioner's exposed muscles were immediately covered with pitch-black armor, the pale fiber optic hair on his head flashed, and the artificial neural exoskeleton center on the back of his neck began to emit low-brightness, low-frequency communication signals.
"Don't get excited..." Jiang Xueming raised his hands again: "I don't want to fight you. Can't I just say a word? Can't I just ask? Are you so tempered?"
There was no emotion in the eyes of the executioner, and no change in attitude could be seen——
——But it does not mean that the changes in his heart will not exist under various hormone suppressors.
Just now, he felt the threat of death. The moment the outsider lowered his arms slightly, the sudden change in spiritual pressure caused him to have a stress reaction and immediately activated the nano armor.
He was almost scared out of his mind. When the small yellow light came on, the security center was still asking urgent questions.
"Executioner, what happened?"
"Share your visual signals to us, how is the repair work on the tombstone completed?"
"Why don't you answer? Did you meet something?"
The executioner pressed the back of his neck and contacted the security center through the exoskeleton.
"It's okay. I met a strange outsider. He's not a beast or a baby. He's a psychic."
Security Center: "He attacked you?"
Executioner: "No..."
Security Center: "Is he Ayusei's partner? Is he related to the prisoners detained in Ginza Town?"
Executioner: "I don't know. What is certain is that they are wearing the same kind of carrying gear and have similar equipment. He uses the name [Jiang Xueming]."
Security Center: "Bring him back and hand him over to Japan Patrol and Changshi."
Executioner: "I apply for level two force."
Security Center: "You are not under attack. This is illegal."
Executioner: "I apply for level two force."
Security Center: "You are not under attack."
Executioner: "I apply for level three force."
Security Center: "You didn't..."
In this way, Jiang Xueming waited quietly——
——He heard no response.
The sturdy cyborg in front of me kept covering his neck, and the yellow light kept flashing behind his head, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After about ten seconds, the executioner finally seemed to come back from being disconnected and started speaking in Chinese.
"Jiang Xueming, please come with me. The administrative agency of Shinto City will hold a welcome ceremony for you."
Xueming: "Wait a moment, please wait a moment."
The executioner drew his sword from behind and prepared to strike.
Jiang Xueming said loudly.
"I'm not a criminal, right!?"
Executioner: "You are not a criminal."
Jiang Xueming: "I have personal freedom, right?"
The executioner raised his sword and threatened: "Yes, you have personal freedom, but you must live according to the rules of Shinto City. You will soon have a venom mechanism, which is your electronic brain. You need rescue, electrolyte solvent, and life."
Basic protection, we will provide you with these things.”
Jiang Xueming still raised his hands high, with the index finger of his right hand tilted toward the direction he came from.
"Can I go back?"
The executioner said in front of the repeater: "No, you are excellent material for Shinto City."
"Hiss..." Xueming took a deep breath: "Is there really nothing to talk about?"
Executioner: "You can resist, but it's meaningless..."
Before he finished speaking——
——Pull out the gun from the carrying bag, Xue Ming lifts the handguard handle to empty the magazine.
The main weapon of the Frost Moon Knights is m4a4丨mk18mod0, which is a very common and practical long gun.
The speed with which he drew his gun exceeded the executioner's expectations. Almost immediately, the venom agency gave the executioner a combat suggestion of approaching with a shield raised. When this decision was made, gunshots had already sounded.
The shield wall blocked the line of sight for the first time. The distance of eight meters was neither long nor short. According to the speed of the android's movement, it only took two or three big jumps to catch up.
Xueming fought and retreated, but not a single bullet landed on the dark, round shield in front of him.
After taking two or three steps forward, the executioner realized that his upper and lower arms were not impacted, and his shield was unscathed. So where did the bullet go?!
This honest and upright cyborg suddenly turned around and glanced back. The drones that were repairing the stone monument were like headless flies, sparks appeared one after another. But in the blink of an eye, twenty-three working machines fell on the solid ground.
It was smashed to pieces on the stone road.
There was a rare expression on the executioner's face. It was the anxiety that the construction period was delayed and the progress of the task was slowed down. His expression was distorted but he had to explain the laws of Shinto City according to the script.
"Alien life! You have violated..."
With a "whoosh" sound, the dazzling silver light hit the cabin of the last drone. Before the executioner could finish reading the words, Xueming had already thrown out the combat knife and was about to change the ammunition.
At the moment when your fingers wrap around the magazine to release the latch.
The executioner raised his sword again. After receiving the attack signal from the venom mechanism, he rushed towards the target.
Two bright and high-temperature radiation signal sources appeared in the line of sight. The cyborgs couldn't quite understand what they were - they were all treated as interference signals from psykers. The cordon on the scene used tritium tubes, which contained radiation.
Interference is normal.
There are still 230 centimeters away from the target.
Two hundred centimeters, one hundred and fifty centimeters.
He crossed the clutter without any hesitation.
Then the two arms separated, and the Tianling Gai flew up.
Before Jiang Xueming had time to change the ammunition, he saw the executioner paralyzed on the ground, his thick arms and execution sword flying out, two charred horizontal lines appeared from the position of the eyes, and the skull rolled forward, causing Xueming's boots to step on it.
Suddenly, the red light of the electronic prosthetic eye dissipated, eventually losing all signs of life.
"You did a great job! sd!"
Fragrant Fantasy: "Of course! We are the best partners!"
Jiang Xueming pulled two dark silk threads. The end of the threads was the drone's cabin. The combat knife penetrated the circuit and flew out with the tough molybdenum wire.
Fengfang Huanmeng held the other end of the molybdenum wire circuit, and bursts of green smoke came out of the big steel cat. It seemed to be numbed by electricity, and it couldn't stop making a strange sound of "gurgling" from its mouth.
Xueming took back the short knife and found that the undercut of the knife ridge that hung the molybdenum wire cutting line had turned black. He sighed in his heart - the output of this drone is the engineering industry standard, and the energy density of the battery is so ridiculous and so small.
A gadget actually meets the power requirements for molybdenum wire thermal cutting.
When the molybdenum wire cutting wire is energized, in a pure oxygen environment, it can generate a high temperature of up to 2,600 degrees. It is an industrial wire used to cut metal. The executioner just lowered his head while driving the shield and lost his vision. Xueming changed
The flicking action was deliberately made for the executioner to see - he wanted to try out the tactical decision-making of artificial intelligence.
As a result, these iron lumps were not as smart as Mr. Ping An said, and they just rushed towards the cutting line, and their heads and bodies were separated.
】
Xueming rolled up the cutting wire slowly and leisurely, cut off the burned molybdenum dioxide, sharpened the rolled edge of the knife, then unscrewed the executioner's arm and cut off the two broken arms.
He spread his fingers and held the carbon beheading sword in his hand.
"So light..."
The weapon made by c60 has the three advantages of toughness, weight and hardness. It is a magic weapon made of nanomaterials. The whole sword only weighs 1,700 grams.
The security center was unable to receive the executioner's signal, and all the drones on site were destroyed by Xueming.
The back of the executioner's head was still emitting strobe lights, as if the security center was repeatedly confirming the soldier's safety.
Xueming stepped forward and smashed the exoskeleton with his sword. He took off the scabbard from the drone, woven a set of nylon carrying gear, put the beheading sword on his back, and was about to leave——
——After walking twenty meters away, he hurried back again.
"Sorry! Sorry, I almost forgot! I'm getting older!"
Lift the weapon and pick up the executioner's brain with fragrant dreams.
Fenxiang Huanmeng frowned and prepared her sentence: "To prevent resurrection, right? Prepare?"
Xueming nodded and said, "Let's go!"
The head was thrown high and the gunfire crackled.
The nanocarbons disintegrated together with the brain tissue, and milky white artificial blood splashed down, like brilliant waves in the ocean.
