…………………… 322, In Search of Utopia (I) ........................

After Qiu Ci drove the dark moon and carried Xiao Chunshui's mecha out of the valley, a piercing and long alarm sound opened in the sky. The brief battle that took place in the valley attracted the attention of the entire base.

Hovertrucks drove out of the barracks one after another, and the aircraft flew away in all directions like birds of astonishment.

Qiu Ci is most worried about the countless hidden observation points in the Gobi, which not only hide radars and satellites, but also bury many energy cannons and penetrating guns.

Whoever trespasses on a military stronghold will only be killed immediately. Even if she reveals her identity, it may not work, the other party can cut first and then play, Xiao Chunshui is a living example.

Stygian Moon is a light mech that excels at speed and agility, but when it comes to a transforming mech, its speed immediately drops by more than half.

Qiu Ci was not interested in fighting with the two legions in the West Fifth District, let alone revealing his identity, so he immediately stopped the mecha and opened the cockpit to let Xiao Chunshui enter the Dark Moon.

Xiao Chunshui didn't dare to delay, and the moment the hatch opened, one flew into the cockpit of the Dark Moon. The Stygian Moon then transforms into a military-standard aircraft in the West 5th District, and crashes behind a team of flying machines after making a few turns.

A day later, in the parking lot on the top floor of the Grand Hotel Compas in the Central Administrative Region, the moon landed silently in the middle of the parking lot. Moments later, Izzy. Alkat walked out of the dark moon and slowly disappeared into the hallway.

After seeing him leave, Autumn said that he drove back to the Garden of Eden in the Dark Moon.

After returning to the villa, the family had already entered the room to rest, and Qiu Ci asked the robot housekeeper to bring some food into the room for her. After a simple meal and a shower, sleepiness hit, and she quickly went to bed and fell asleep.

Day 2. Qiu Ci and Old Man Qiu had breakfast and drove to Professor Leon's residence.

It's still early, and Professor Leon won't be on the balcony on the top floor at this time, he has a habit of waking up early, and he always likes to go into the underground laboratory early in the morning.

When Akiji finds him in the lab, he is fiddling with a strange thing.

This thing has a very strange shape, the whole thing is like a crystal ball, and the transparent tempered glass cover is covered. The inside of the glass ball is hollow, and there seem to be a few small points of light flickering in it.

Under the glass sphere is a triangular tripod with a blue color. I can't see any material. Other than that, the glass sphere doesn't show anything special about it.

Autumn Ci walked over to Professor Leon and sat down, his gaze falling on the "crystal ball" in his hand. She suspected that it was a divination tool often used by ancient sorcerers.

After a closer look, her eyes suddenly became serious. I couldn't see the wonder of this thing from a distance just now, but now that I got closer, I realized that there was far more than a few small points of light in the sphere.

Inside the crystal ball, there are dense small bright spots. These tiny bright spots, which form nebulae, form galaxies, form the universe.

She had heard a saying before, called Fang Cun Jiangshan, but she didn't think of it. Someone actually completely incorporated a universe into a glass ball with a diameter of only about 50 centimeters.

She believed that these points of light were only tiny points of light that she could see with her naked eyes, and that she could not see. Definitely more than 100 million.

The triangular base is carved with thin patterns and characters, and Autumn Words cannot make out what they would have to distinguish under a microscope.

"What is this?" Qiu asked in surprise.

Professor Leon shook his head slightly, and only sighed after a long time, "It's called the Eternal Clock." ”

"Clock?" Qiu Ci became more and more confused, this thing depends on time?

Professor Leon nodded slightly, and there was no emotion on his ravine-criss-crossed face: "Eternal Clock." It is the only beacon that can be found in the Utopian Liberty Collar. ”

He looked up at Qiu Ci and saw her look shocked. smiled slightly: "I know you went to the West Fifth District and rescued Xiao Chunshui, right?" ”

Qiu Ji looked at him, bit his lip and didn't speak.

"Xiao Chunshui infiltrated the military base of the West Fifth District, and he was discovered at the first time, and it was I who asked him to restore his authority, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the West Fifth District base at all. Later, Xiao Chunshui entered the underground secret research room, which was somewhat unexpected to me, and he was hunted down by the Transformation Mecha Regiment because of this. ”

Professor Leon looked at Akiji with a smile and continued, "You must be wondering why I did this, right? ”

Qiu Ci nodded and said, "The mentor made me very confused. ”

Professor Leon smiled, sighed again, and said faintly: "Because I don't know whether to tell you something or not, so after Xiao Chunshui entered the West Fifth District, I simply let him find out something and tell you through his mouth, maybe it would be better." ”

"He doesn't know much." Qiu Ci said that Xiao Chunshui did not tell her much, but she guessed that Professor Leon was likely to be from the Black Goat Company, and most of the people who secretly helped the Qiu family at any cost were him.

Professor Leon shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "You can't blame me, who let Xiao Chunshui's kid be found out carelessly, he could have known more." ”

Qiu Ci whispered, "You tell me it's the same." ”

Professor Leon fiddled with the crystal ball in front of him, the surface of the ball glowing faintly under the light, and the various nebulae formed by the small stars inside were very clear.

"Okay, let's start with the secret help of your Qiu family." He looked at Qiu Ci: "No matter what, you should know that I won't harm you." The reason why I helped the Qiu family is because I know that you want the Qiu family to carry forward and even become one of the seven great families. I used a transformation mecha blueprint and made a deal with the Military Intelligence Department to help implement the Qiu family's support plan. The requirement is that no one is allowed to detect that the Qiu family is behind the Black Goat Company. ”

Qiu Ci half-narrowed his eyelids and looked at the crystal ball: "Why did the mentor do this?" And don't want people to know? ”

Professor Leon chuckled, "There are two reasons: one is related to the intricacies of factions within the Alliance, and the other is that I don't want you to know. If you don't know, I have a reason not to tell you something, but I want you to know, it's a contradiction. ”

The more Qiu Ci listened, the more confused he became, frowning at him.

"You are not from the Qiu family, if you want to repay the kindness of the Qiu family, I will help you repay it." Professor Leon stared straight into her eyes and said suddenly.

Qiuzi's pupils dilated suddenly, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

"Your red mech, what's your name?"

"Flowing fire."

Professor Leon restrained the smile on his face, and said in an unusually slow tone: "The messenger of the gods is flowing fire, not everyone can operate it, its intelligent brain is a super intelligent life form, not a utopian person, and the intelligent brain will not recognize the master at all, nor will it open the divine war system." Now do you understand why I know that you are not from the Qiu family? ”

Qiu Ji looked at him blankly, completely forgetting his reaction.

"Girl, he's right. The first time I saw you, I confessed to the Lord. Apu's voice also sounded in Qiu Ci's mind.

Qiu Ci figured out a lot of things in an instant, why did Professor Leon immediately accept her as a closed student after the Flowing Fire appeared? Why does Professor Leon help himself again and again? Why would the Alliance Military Department let her keep the secret of the Flowing Fire so easily, presumably Professor Leon cleared the way for her.

The reason is simply because, she is the master of the flowing fire, and she is the legendary utopian people.

In this way, Professor Leon is also a man of utopia, and his hometown is called the Utopian Liberty Territory.

"Is there really a Utopia Liberty Collar?" After a long time, she heard her voice ringing in the air.

"Yes." Professor Leon sighed.

"Established by the Chu madman and his mecha troops?"

Professor Leon gave her a strange look, a little surprised that she knew this, and then nodded.

"Where?"

Professor Leon looked down at the Eternal Clock on the marble table and muttered, "In the distance." ”

Qiu Ci raised his eyes and looked deeply at the white-haired old man in front of him: "The mentor once asked me to take you to a place, isn't it utopia?" ”

Professor Leon looked at her as well, but did not speak.

"Because the mentor doesn't know where it is, how much time it will take, or even if it's safe to come back. It was the mentor who arranged for the Black Goat Company to secretly help the Qiu family grow and grow at any cost, but my concern in the alliance made me feel free to accompany you to find utopia, right? ”

Professor Leon's mouth moved, and Qiu Ci didn't wait for him to speak, and said to himself: "But the mentor knows that this trip is hopeless and dangerous, so he is very hesitant to tell me?" Will I continue to live in peace in the Alliance, or will I fulfill your wishes? I must have been thinking about this multiple-choice question for a long time, right? ”

Professor Leon sighed leisurely.

Xiao Chunshui found clues in the Black Goat Company and found the West Fifth District. At that time, the tutor was not sure to pay attention, so he simply let Xiao Chunshui know the whole thing, so as to help you make a choice, right? ”

"Yes." Professor Leon let out a breath, and suddenly smiled kindly, "But I've figured it out now, you have your life, and you shouldn't do what you don't want to do for me, an old man." So little word, you should assume that you don't know about it. ”

Qiu Ci's gaze fell into the old man's dark brown eyes, and those wise and deep eyes were full of love and sincerity.

Qiu Ci's eyes gradually softened, after all, the old man still felt sorry for her, and he was unwilling to force her.

She looked at the glass ball on the table again and asked curiously, "Mentor is going to find utopia?" ”

Professor Leon's gaze also fell on the glass ball on the table, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Yes, people say that leaves fall back to their roots, and I want to bury myself in the land of my hometown." ”

He could feel the loss of his life, he couldn't afford to wait, whether he could find utopia or not, he planned to leave the alliance and embark on the road to find his homeland.
