…………………… 334, Senate ........................

Macwinny stopped the car and rushed out into the street like everyone else, towards the crowd of people singing and laughing. Both hands tried in vain to grasp them, but they found that they could not touch any form at all.

It's like their hands are funnels, and the people in front of them are water that they can't grasp, slipping away from their fingers unconsciously.

"How so? How so? Professor Leon sat in the car in a daze, staring blankly at everything in front of him, muttering to himself unconsciously.

Qiu Ci glanced at him worriedly, and sat beside him with Xiao Chunshui left and right, the two of them looked at each other, each speechless.

When embarking on this journey to find utopia, Akiji was not very optimistic about the outcome of this journey. From the baby Liu Yan's body, she knows the secret of her life experience.

A descendant of the remnants of Utopia, she was found and adopted by Captain Redbeard in a wrecked battleship. What's the story? Her parents were supposed to be Utopian people, why did they end up in the stars, and what enemy destroyed the battleship? Why do they leave newborn babies in unmanned cockpits?

Although it is difficult to consider the mystery here, it is not difficult to guess what happened to her parents. It must have been a story of escape and pursuit.

As a citizen of utopia, why did he flee and who was hunted down?

"Hey......"

Ah Pu sighed faintly in Qiu Ci's mind, as if he had discovered something.

"What did you find?"

Ah Pu sighed again, and there was an indescribable taste in his voice: "If Lord Ben is not mistaken, this is - Mirror Flower Water Moon." ”

"Mirrors?"

"It's a kind of Taoism, everything you see in front of your eyes, you can say it's an illusion, or you can't say it's not. It's actually a bit like a mirage. It's nothing more than a frozen mirage. ”

"A frozen mirage?" Qiu Ji repeated his words again.

"Not bad, a frozen mirage. A thousand years will not be dispersed, and ten thousand years will last forever. The gist of this Taoism is to keep this moment before these people forever, and in fact. These people are long gone, these are just scenes that once happened, but they have been recorded forever, and they look like they are real. ”

Qiu Zi thought for a moment. "You mean, it's actually a fantasy?" ”

Apo denied: "It's not a fantasy, maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as a three-dimensional movie." We're watching a stereoscopic movie, the only regret. The sound effects of the movie seem to be broken, so much so that it's a silent drama. ”

As soon as he said this, Qiu Ci immediately understood. It turned out that they broke into the world of cinema. The people in the movie continue their original dialogue and rendition. And I, an outsider, is incompatible with the movie world.

"Original...... Is it just a movie? Qiu Ci couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, and the utopia that he had worked so hard to find had long since become the dust of history, leaving this silent drama alone.

Although she also felt regretful, she did not find it difficult to accept, but thought that such a result was the most logical and factual result. But apparently Professor Leon was not as stress-free as she was.

Utopian Liberty Collar in the eyes of their exiled descendants. It is the only paradise in my heart. From birth, their parents instilled in them the beauty of utopia and set him a lifelong mission to return to his homeland.

Their lives have been dedicated to this mission, and their children and grandchildren are working hard for this goal. This is not the mission of one person or one generation, but the endless obsession of a nation left behind.

After the efforts of countless people, they finally succeeded in achieving their goals, but they found that the desire to give up everything that they had been insisting on and fighting for, working hard for, and giving up everything was just a dream, an illusory and gorgeous dream.

Before waking up, it was a sweet dream; After waking up, it was a real nightmare.

If he could, Akiji would rather not find the Utopia Liberty Collar on this voyage. In this way, Professor Leon and these descendants of Utopia can continue to live in beautiful dreams, even if they don't wake up for the rest of their lives.

At least, when they are dying, they can still see a beautiful country in their eyes, which is the paradise of their dreams.

Qiu Ci felt a little wetness on the back of his hand, lowered his head to look at the back of his hand, and just found that a drop of water had fallen on it, slightly itchy, and a little hot.

She looked up and was shocked to see two lines of tears slipping from Professor Leon's eyes, one by one covering her cheeks with deep wrinkles, and then dripping down.

"Mentor ......" Qiu Ci wiped his tears with his sleeve, not knowing how to comfort him.

"I don't know how to do it elsewhere?" Xiao Chunshui suddenly spoke.

"Yes," Qiu Ci immediately said: "Mentor, don't be sad first, let's go to other cities to have a look, such a big veteran star, I don't believe it's all like this." This must be a utopian abandoned city, and other people must be living in other cities. Isn't there still a Senate? Let's go to the Senate, near the Senate, it must not be like this. ”

"Yes, Professor Leon, I believe that the Utopia Liberty Territory will not disappear so easily, and even if there is no one on this planet, who knows if they have already relocated to another planet and created another utopia?"

Xiao Chunshui's words were obviously more convincing than Qiu Ci, and they also touched Professor Leon's heart more. After listening to this, he smiled reluctantly, lifted his spirits a little, and said: "Chunshui is right, more than seven thousand years have passed, anything can happen, maybe they have really gone to other planets." ”

Qiu Ci smiled gratefully at Xiao Chunshui, and he gave her a reassuring look back.

"So, Mentor, we shouldn't be sad about these phantoms here, maybe it's a clue that the people of Utopia have left for the rest of the people to find them, right?" Qiu Ci continued to persuade while the iron was hot.

Ah Pu's disdainful voice said, "I said that you two fooled this old man like this, wouldn't it be more cruel if you let him down again?" ”

While convincing Professor Leon, Qiu Ci said to Apo in his busy schedule: "Apu, no matter how smart you are, you are not a real human after all. You don't know that humans are the strongest and most fragile living beings at the same time. At this moment, Professor Leon is at his weakest, and any blow may discourage him, after all, the pursuit of a lifetime is just a dream in the end, and no one can accept this reality. But what Xiao Chunshui and I have to do is just to help him convince himself that as long as he doesn't give up hope, he is unwilling to accept that his father and his own pursuit is just a vain. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he will be strong and prove that they are not worthless pursuits, but meaningful lives. ”

She didn't care about Agui's reaction, and said to Professor Leon: "Mentor, order the others to go back to the car first, and then tell them that this is not a real utopia, just a former utopia. ”

Professor Leon seemed to have lost his consciousness, nodded again and again, and whispered, "Yes, yes, they should be called back." How can this be a utopia, it is not like this at all, there is no moon season in full bloom in all seasons, there is no fragrant grass, there is no fragrance of birds and flowers, this is not our hometown. Something must have gone wrong, it must be. ”

Xiao Chunshui sighed, turned on the communicator, and began to summon the people who got off the bus to come back. Some of them listened and walked back to the car in despair, while others ignored it and stubbornly talked to the figures in front of them, trying to catch them over and over again.

Xiao Chunshui had no choice, got out of the car and pulled those who were gradually losing their minds back to the car, but they couldn't pull it, so he simply knocked them out, and then let the intelligent robot carry them back.

The noisy and noisy finally got everyone into the car, and Xiao Chunshui took over the command at some point and began to command the convoy to search for the veteran star.

The Metaverse is not large, the area is smaller than that of Nina, the entire planet is protected by an unknown force field, and the high-tech probes are almost useless on the planet. It can't be scanned, it can't be detected, and even the life detector won't work properly.

Qiu Ci guessed that this should be related to the Dao technique that Ah Pu said, and the old star was fully covered by the Dao technique of Mirror Flower Water Moon, and there was no omission anywhere.

Blind searching, searching without purpose, fortunately, the hovercar was extremely fast, they found one city after another, and found a group of disembodied figures.

It's like a grand pantomime, the people in the story take care of themselves, and the people outside the story will never get into their lives.

Disappointment after disappointment, the atmosphere of the team is getting more and more depressed day by day, it is a cycle with no solution. Xiao Chunshui and Qiu Ci kept giving hope to the people in the team, hoping that they would cheer up, and once again and again made them more and more disappointed.

It's a process of despair, but no one can stop it. Qiu Ci even worried one day that if she and Xiao Chunshui also made a desperate look, would these people go crazy immediately.

She knew all too well how they felt, because she had experienced it before, albeit in a previous life.

Finally, their convoy drove into a huge city. The entire city is remarkably simple to plan, with only countless towering stone pillars standing tall. Unlike the high-rise buildings of other cities, this city has no houses, only blankets that cover all the ground.

The dark green blanket, the blanket that covered the entire city floor, there was no person, no object, no phantom.

They finally came to the finish line - the Senate.

The group got out of the car and stepped on the soft carpet, the soft touch of their feet made the crowd of people who had been in despair all day begin to relax, and they touched the cold and hard stone pillars, and their faces showed ecstasy: these are real, not phantoms.
