Chapter 244: A New Environment (Starland Chapter)
Every time he recovers from the "Demon Presence" state, his mentality and personality will change slightly, which Zheng Ming had faintly noticed before.
This is what he did after what happened to Arthur. Although there is no emotional suppression in the state of "Demon Presence", when he recovers, every time he recalls, he will have a feeling like watching a movie.
It will resonate and empathize, but it will not have the heart-rending pain, personal experience and strong emotion.
And it was this lack of emotion that made him very confused. It's like an emotional black hole in the chest, and you can't fill it no matter how you fill it. This sense of emptiness and emptiness makes him unable to truly feel the feeling of being alive. Lost.
It's not that he didn't think about looking for his partners back then, such as Luo Li, Luo Nai's sisters and brothers, such as Liu Ying, such as Shenwu, such as Bai Su, such as Lucy......
But the thought of how long it had been ten years since he had left made him feel daunted.
"It's been ten years. Maybe...... They're doing well. Maybe...... They've long forgotten about me. Maybe...... My sudden appearance only disrupted their lives. He thought.
Thankfully, when Zheng Ming was looking for all kinds of excuses, wanting to escape from reality, and even becoming more and more decadent, he was in a stable and prosperous Xinglin City. It was full of things he hadn't seen or heard before, and busy things that kept him busy pausing for thought.
Even more fortunately, he met the kind-hearted landlord and owner. This singer named Wu Tianhao, whose stage name is Apocalypse, provides him with not only a place to stay, but also a short-term and mundane goal; That is to repay debts and repay favors.
Nearly two months have passed, and the body of the biochemical machine used to carry Kevin, the intelligent butler, has not stepped out of the maintenance cabin for many days. The responsibility of taking care of the single-family villa under Wu Tianhao's name fell on Zheng Ming.
After finishing a day's work at this time, Zheng Ming, who had nothing to do in the house, lay on the sofa and watched a TV program to learn some information about Starland City.
His eye mask was covered with a gray-white light curtain, and from a distance, it looked like he had no pupils, only the whites of his eyes, and his eyes shone faintly. This is a derivative of the extraocular light film technology, which is embedded in the body after the intelligent assistance chip, which can allow him to watch online anytime and anywhere.
Of course, this technology also has a small disadvantage, that is, when the extraocular light film is turned on, he will lose his normal vision.
"It's the best shortcut for civilians and outsiders! A must-have way to gain social status and influence and win wealth!
As long as you are strong enough to win, you will be able to get the reward you deserve. Even if you lose, as long as your battle is exciting enough and you have a very good personality, you will be supported by the audience......"
Just when Zheng Ming was watching the advertisement, he suddenly stiffened, and the energy light on his body flashed. He took a deep breath, and as he relaxed, the frequent flickering energy light on his body finally dimmed.
Put away the extra-eye projection function, Zheng Ming stretched out his index finger and pressed the slightly raised button behind his ear, and the continuous advertising words in his ear finally disappeared. The shielded outside voice finally came.
"Meow~~~"
A warm touch continued to come from the back of the neck and face, and under the rubbing of the fluffy hair, a pleasant and itchy feeling followed.
"Didn't I just feed you snacks? You're really dead. ”
Seeing the little guy who climbed up on his shoulder, squinted his eyes, rubbed his head against his face, and had an intimate expression, Zheng Ming smiled helplessly and lifted the deadly white cat up.
This is a short-haired white cat with a snow-white body and blue and green eyes. At this time, Zheng Ming grabbed the back of his neck and lifted it, and he didn't struggle, just stared at Zheng Ming with big watery eyes and looked at Zheng Ming innocently.
"How many times have you been told? Don't just climb my shoulder, if only a few days ago, I might have killed you. ”
After teaching a lesson with a serious face, after the ignorant white cat, seeing that the other party had no intention of introspection, he shouted at him "meow", Zheng Ming could only give up.
Walking out of the door and across the corridor, Zheng Ming carried the white cat and walked into their room. put the white cat without a trace of remorse on the cat climbing frame.
Seeing that the white cat immediately jumped off the cat climbing frame, ran to his feet, and rubbed his body between his legs, Zheng Ming lifted his face and lifted it to the cat climbing frame again.
"Hiss~ Don't come."
After a threatening inhalation, pointing at the white cat and giving a rather stern warning, Zheng Ming got up and walked towards the door.
As he was about to leave the door, he looked back at the window, where there was an elegant, black and beautiful black cat with golden green eyes, stretching lazily and yawning.
As if sensing Zheng Ming's gaze, the black cat squinted at him.
"Alas~ it would be nice to neutralize the personalities of the two of them. Xiao Hei is too cold and quiet, and Xiao Bai is too clingy and playful. ”
After muttering in a low voice, Zheng Ming selected the room management permission among the options like the game interface outside his eyes, and then with a wave of his right hand with the auxiliary bracelet, the door closed silently.
Thinking back to the advertisement he had just seen, Zheng Ming walked up to the third floor, pushed open the door in the corner, and walked into the room named "Creation Studio" by Wu Tianhao.
Walking into this small room of less than 30 square meters, the first thing that catches your eye is the messy placement of various musical instruments and the garbage scattered throughout the room.
In the center of the room, the unkempt Wu Tianhao was shaking his head and writhing his body selflessly.
It can be seen from the light film that covers the other party's eyes and ears that he cut off the audition from the outside world.
"Tut-tut."
I don't know if it's out of helplessness, or if I can't get used to the other party's funny dancing, Zheng Ming shook his head and walked closer and patted Wu Tianhao's shoulder.
As if frightened, Wu Tianhao trembled and almost fell to the ground, he stretched his neck quite funny, lowered his body, and spread his hands to maintain balance, like a turtle.
After maintaining his balance, he turned off the external shield, and looked at Zheng Ming, who was close at hand, revealing a look of doubt.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I've got something to go out about. ”
"Where are you going?"
Hearing the other party's question, Zheng Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"It's really wide. I have my own business. ”
After speaking, he straightened Wu Tianhao and carefully advised: "I'm ready for lunch." You can go down and eat it yourself, and ask Kevin to bring it over. I'll clean up my room here when I get back. By the way, remember to freshen up, tsk. ”
"Will it take a long time? Is it far away? Why don't I let Kevin send you? Hearing Zheng Ming's words, Wu Tianhao, who raised his arm to smell his body, saw that the other party turned around to leave with a disgusted face, and hurriedly asked.
"No need. If you drive a private car, you also need to enter the dedicated lane. It's also a hassle to dock. I'd better take the line car. Zheng Ming waved his hand, left a sentence and walked out of the room.
……
After Zheng Ming informed Wu Tianhao, he walked out of the manor and villa area.
After waiting quietly for two minutes on the side of the wide and tidy street, the line car booked online appeared in front of him on time.
Bouncing down and sitting in the droplet-shaped vehicle, Zheng Ming leaned back on the soft seat.
"Hello, Mr. Zheng Ming. Traffic Robot DS1543 is at your service. Your destination is the 2nd Ring Road, Athletic Street, Fighting Arena Building. If there is no emergency, it is estimated to take 23 minutes and 47 seconds. ”
This is an unmanned car, strictly speaking, all line cars are uniformly dispatched by the intelligent network, unmanned service.
In the slight mechanical sound, a long light screen appeared in front of Zheng Ming, and the slightly dull synthesized sound continued to sound.
"If it is correct, please swipe your identity bracelet to the panel in front of you to confirm your identity information."
Zheng Ming, who was reminded, aimed the turquoise bracelet on his right hand at the light screen and swiped to the right. Then sit back in your position and let the automatic extension of the protective measures be applied to your body.
"Identification is complete. Happy boarding. ”
With a slight tremor, the teardrop-shaped car slowly lifted into the air, entered the special track, and quickly moved away.
A faint sense of weightlessness came, and Zheng Ming looked out through the transparent car wall, only to see countless vehicles that were the same as the car he was riding in in the scenery that was constantly receding and blurring, flying by in an orderly and rapid manner.
Some are faster, some are slower, some are staggered, and some are walking side by side. It seems monotonous, but it exudes a different beauty called "order".
"Is there music?"
"Except for some works whose copyrights are scarce, we have them all here, sir. What would you like to hear? ”
"Apocalypse's 'Little Story After the Rain'."
"Yes, sir. Playing the album of Singer Apocalypse's 'Little Tales After the Rain' for you. ”
Soothing music rang out from all over the car at the same time, and clear and gentle voices filled the space in the ears.
Zheng Ming sat back on the soft chair and slowly closed his eyes. In the quiet and distant atmosphere, his expression was relaxed, and the frowning brows that had been furrowed seemed to be gently smoothed by a pair of invisible hands.
