Chapter 0537

As Qi Feng, who was also interviewed, like Nora, chose to exchange information as a reward. He was interested in the Academy, and the synths of the Academy. Unexpectedly, when he mentioned this, Piper's excitement was more than his.

Piper begins with a murderous incident in Diamond City.

Back then, it was decades ago, and even Piper himself hadn't even been born at that time, and there weren't many people in Diamond City who had survived that long.

Qi Feng couldn't help but have some doubts about the source of her information: "Wait, since it's been so long, how did you know the details?"

Piper: "There are still eyewitnesses, and I tried my best to restore the facts of the year through eyewitness testimony and a lot of bits and pieces of information left behind...... Hey, are you questioning my major?"

Qi Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good if you don't have friends out of nothing." I've seen some unscrupulous literati before, and I heard from a friend that I said, and then they started to make up as they pleased, and they went around publishing ......"

Piper clasped his hands to his chest: "I'm not a reporter, I'm after the truth! If you don't believe me, we can meet the person in ......."

Qi Feng raised his hand: "I'm sorry...... Please continue to ......"

In short, it was a long time ago that a traveler from afar came to Diamond City, and his good looks, extensive knowledge and witty conversation quickly attracted the townspeople of Diamond City, who were not always too far away...... Everyone gathered around him, drinking and chatting, and from time to time applauding the novel story......

Speaking of this, Piper couldn't help but stop and looked at Qi Feng and Ciri.

Qi Feng scratched his face: "It's almost the same as me?"

Piper took a deep breath and continued......

At that time, just as night was falling, and everyone was talking, the traveler suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically, and then, without warning, he pulled out his gun and fired at the townspeople who were stunned on the spot...... The innocent townspeople, who were not mentally prepared at all, suffered heavy casualties in an instant. It wasn't until the guards of Diamond City arrived and concentrated their fire that they killed the outsider who had suddenly gone on a killing spree...... When the survivors came back to their senses and went to examine the murderer, they found that the bullet-torn body contained steel, plastic and electronic parts......

"This is the first time people have encountered synths...... Or rather, this is the first time that people have discovered that synths are hidden in the crowd...... This event is known as 'Broken Mask'. ”

Piper said a lot, but to sum it up, there was no information that Qi Feng needed. The reporter just kept emphasizing that the synths of the academy are all around you, and the academy will quietly replace the relatives and friends you know with synths with the same faces...... Until one day, replace it on your own head.

"Uh......? Who in Diamond City has been replaced?"

"This ...... I'm still looking up ......"

“……”

"Hey, I've got some eyebrows too!"

Qi Feng understood why the mayor kicked out this reporter, just relying on that example from decades ago, it was really not very convincing, but it smelled of conspiracy theories.

Piper hesitated, but after thinking about it, he made up his mind and said, "I think...... Mayor McDonna may be a synth from the academy......"

Qi Feng rolled his eyes, these Americans ......

In situ, Qi Feng had also heard of the famous conspiracy theory that "lizardmen rule the United States", and many Americans believed that the political leaders of their country were a group of lizardmen in human skin...... They just love it.

Of course, in the original plane, the lizardman theory should be pure nonsense, but in Diamond City in the Fallout World, the synth replaced the mayor, which is not impossible.

"Okay, let's skip that...... I would like to know more about the Academy, such as ...... We've been to the former site of MIT, which has obviously been abandoned for a long time...... Where is the entrance to the academy?"

"You want to find the Academy?" Piper frowned, then shook his head, "No one knows, this is probably the biggest secret of the entire Federation......

"No one knows?" Qi Feng nodded, he was still fully mentally prepared for this answer, and from the current situation, even if the academy is not the final level of this plane, it is at least an important plot point, and it is estimated that it is still up to the protagonist to dig out this mysterious academy.

So, Qi Feng and Piper came out of the newspaper office and decided to go to the detective who was "very good at finding people" first.

Nora felt a little sorry, but seeing that Qi Feng and Xili didn't care at all, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"The detective agency is on the other side of town......" Piper led the way, walking through the commercial plaza of Diamond City, pointing to the shops around him, "On the right is the popular food restaurant in Diamond City, the tendon ramen restaurant, if you're hungry, uh...... I'm sorry, I've been short on money lately...... Next time I'll please!"

Qi Feng followed Piper's guidance and looked over, it was a semi-open-air ramen shop, and there was a ...... in the shop ...... in a white chef's top hat Qi Feng saw it, and was using his three-fingered manipulator to carry a long-handled soup spoon and stir it in the steaming soup pot...... A strong aroma of food overshadowed the bad smell of the city.

"Takahashi's craftsmanship is very good! This shop is older than me! It's one of Diamond City's signature business cards......" Piper said with a little frown.

Qi Feng still felt that admiring the strange level of tube artificial intelligence in this world was really an incomprehensible technology...... I don't know if I can get some technical literature and take it back for the red queen to refer to it.

Ciri had seen Nora's Gaga, but the concept of a robot was some kind of smart golem with a steel body...... Qi Feng didn't bother to correct her, if you put aside the essence of the problem in words, it would make no difference.

Continuing forward, at an intersection in the market area, an uncle in a white baseball uniform carrying a bat, saw Qi Feng Nora's fresh faces, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come and see, come and see, there is a long-standing culture in Diamond City, this is a blood-boiling sport, an exclusive weapon, a dead baton!"

Qi Feng didn't think it was strange, the baseball bat was indeed one of the weapons that the American people were accustomed to.

It was Nora, who walked over curiously: "Kill the stick?"

The uncle laughed: "Stranger, don't you know? Let me tell you, in fact, Diamond City was built on a pre-war sports arena. ”

Nora: "Errrrr......"

The uncle looked at Nora stunned and thought she was stunned, so he explained even more proudly: "At that time, there was a very popular sport here, called baseball, where two groups of people divided into two teams and held wooden sticks...... Until one side is killed...... The bat with the most kills on the field is the batter ...... death."

"Hold the grass?!" Qi Feng's eyes widened, and he looked at Nora fixedly: "You have changed the rules of baseball? Although the world is not peaceful and martial arts can be understood, but the gladiator gladiator who jumped to the Colosseum at once is too exaggerated, right?"

Nora glanced at Qi Feng, ignored him, and said to the uncle angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, baseball games are not like this!"

"Oh?" said the uncle, his eyes a little contemptuous, "then you tell me how baseball is played?"

Nora half-turned, pointed to the field that had become the center of the town, and said, "On one side is the attacker, the other side is the defender, and the defender's pitcher is standing in the middle, well, it's Takahashi's position...... There are also infielders, outfielders...... Catcher, yes, just dressed like the guards, wearing this glove from your store, crouching in that position...... The attacker plays a batsman and stands in front of the catcher......"

Nora honked and told this uncle about the rules of standard American baseball, well, there was no difference from what Qi Feng knew......

But the uncle was a little impatient: "I think my rules are better!"

Nora was a little annoyed and helpless: "This is the national movement of the United States!"

Qi Feng was on the side, thinking of his apprentice...... couldn't help laughing, Zuotian tears and this uncle will definitely be able to talk...... Thinking of this, Qi Feng stepped forward and interrupted the argument between the two: "That...... Uncle, do you have a good bat? uh...... I mean, deadbeat?"

"Call me Lao Mo!" The uncle immediately put aside Nora and said happily to Qi Feng: "Haha, know the goods, of course there is!"

In the end, Qi Feng picked a mahogany and threw it in the inventory. It took more than two hundred bottle caps.
