Then they kept telling me about the town for about a few hours. And Mo Qingyan is just the beginning of the story:

After the great war five years ago, Lazy helped the inhabitants repair the town, and the inhabitants returned to the town as if the great war had never happened. Although they are sad and frightened by the disappearance of hard work, the stable life also makes them gradually forget the pain. Moreover, the lazy research and development of the new machinery made most of the people in the town gradually relieved of the hard work, after all, the machinery developed by the previous diligence only allowed the residents to reduce some unnecessary work, and the lazy now developed machinery can make the residents not work at all, for example, if you have to work every day in exchange for the corresponding remuneration to maintain a living, suddenly someone tells you, you don't have to work from now on, but the reward is still given to you, will you still work hard and diligently every day?

Before the Great War, the inhabitants of the town had their own jobs and did their duty to keep the lives of all the inhabitants of the town running, but after the Great War, the inhabitants of the town no longer had to work, but only slept all day long. Although some diligent supporters stood up to resist at first, all of them disappeared the next day, and the rest of the supporters did not dare to act when they saw such an end. Gradually, the townspeople became more and more lazy and troublesome, so the town got the name "Lazy Town".

Soon after the war, the advent of "healing life" made the already lazy townsfolk more relaxed and tired of work, they no longer had to worry about whether they were healthy or not, they no longer had to worry about the waste of youth, with which everyone could stay young forever. So not only did the townspeople no longer work, but they also stopped cherishing the loss of time. The most regrettable thing for a person is not knowing how to cherish the things in front of him, and the townspeople have completely forgotten this.

Today, only Lao Xu has some work to do in the entire town, and he is responsible for the delivery of supplies to the town. Although the machinery here is very developed and it is basically self-sufficient, it is inevitable to communicate and trade with other towns. On the one hand, they can sell goods that are unique to the town to other places, and secondly, they can also ship goods that are unique to other places back.

When Mo Qingyan explained the history of Lazy Town to me, Lao Xu mentioned to me things other than the town - in addition to Lazy Town, there were originally six towns outside, namely: Greed Town, Gluttony Town, Desire Town, Arrogance Town, Jealousy Town, and Rage Town. The seven towns are spread eastward in a straight line from Lazy Town, and although Lao Xu only mentions their names to me, I can already guess the distinct "personality" of their towns. However, except for the fact that Greed Town is more familiar, he doesn't know all about the rest of the towns, after all, he can only go to the vicinity of Greed Town for half a month, and he has only met a few times with people who are transporting supplies from other big towns.

When Lao Xu came back from this trip, he saw me not far from the town, and picked me up back to the town by the way, so to speak, I was really lucky to meet him. And why did I appear in this place, and who was he that voice saying it was looking for? However, in retrospect, the phrase "shout out" that I heard at Lao Xu's house was somewhat similar to the voice I first heard, "The dark abyss is myself".

I've been standing in the hallway outside the conference room for a while, and the surrounding area is empty, and although the sporadic candle flame can see what is in front of me, the endless darkness at both ends makes me confused and I don't know what to do. What Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan said to me, has been beating drums in my thoughts, I was originally an irrelevant person, I still believe that I am an irrelevant person, all of a sudden I have to mix with other people's life-and-death matters, I don't have that ability, why do they have to suffer, if they fail, the price to pay is not heavier?

Just when I was constantly doubting myself, Mo Qingyan came out, and he looked relaxed and optimistic.

"How's it going, little girl, have you figured it out?"

"Hehe, what can I think clearly?"

"You've been out for so long, and you haven't figured it out yet, do you need me to repeat what I just said to you?"

What did they say to me? yes, the excuse they said that I was a "savior", he didn't mention it, and I probably forgot it because I was scared.

About three or four years ago, the advent of healing life had completely caused the people of this town to fall into the trap of laziness. Not only does he control the diet and daily life of the townspeople through the healing life, but he also manipulates their memories, every three months, and when the three months are up, the healing life will refresh the memories of the residents, as if there is no way to end the game, because you always thought you were just starting.

But there are also people with very strong willpower, and the healer has no way to rewrite their memories, so laziness will make them sleep in the healer for a longer time, some for a year or two, and some never wake up. Among the few people in this base, only Lao Xu has been rewritten, at the beginning, like other residents, after being rewritten, he forgot the fierce battle between diligence and laziness five years ago, forgot the tragic scene of that day, and his life went on like a program, step by step. It wasn't until Mo Qingyan did something about his cargo records that he gradually tried to leave a trace with his code words. When his memories were refreshed, he realized that all his previous memories were gone, but the traces on the cargo records were unquestionable, and he understood what was all about. Mo Qingyan not only did it to Lao Xu's cargo records, but many residents did the same, but Lao Xu was the only one who came to his senses. Maybe he's the only one in town who has a job, and the healing life doesn't control him so strongly. Moreover, Mo Qingyan only found a way to alleviate the control of human cells by therapeutic vitality, and he still has no way to completely get rid of the residents' dependence on therapeutic vitality. This is also the reason why Lao Xu is sober, but he still has to stay in the town and can't stay at the base.

Generally speaking, each resident sleeps for a different amount of time on the healing life, and laziness has a set of algorithms that can calculate what everyone will do today and whether they will do something bad - this bad thing is of course for laziness, according to this algorithm can effectively reduce the probability of them doing bad things, because you are already obediently lying on the healing life when you will do bad things. I have to say that the lazy healer is very powerful.

For Lao Xu, when he comes back from a trip, he has to lie down for at least a week to repair his body, although it takes time to repair the body no matter how advanced the machinery is, it is impossible to see immediate results. But when he came back this time, Lao Xu had been delaying for three days, and his mood was too volatile, so he couldn't resist it and climbed up to the recuperation in such pain. But when the self-proclaimed police uncle, a lazy man, showed up, I inadvertently triggered the weapons in the house and killed him. At the same time, Lao Xu's healing life was interrupted, and Lao Xu, who had just entered a deep sleep, was awakened, and then he dragged his tired body to bring me to the base. This is also the first time, as Mo Qingyan told me, that the healing life has been interrupted, after all, this may be the most advanced technology of laziness. No matter what method he used, once the healing life had begun, it would only stop at the prescribed time, and it was impossible to interrupt it. Besides, the weapons in the room are all lazy arranged, and the protection system is very domineering, it is impossible for others to be completely hacked, let alone identify their own people as the target of extermination. And what I did unintentionally, they thought it was incredible, so they put the word "savior" on my head.

"Little girl, we can help you find the one you said, Lao Xu told me. As long as you're willing to help us. ”

I looked at Mo Qingyan's eyes, his glasses reflected flickering candles from time to time, as if this fire also grew in his eyes, that moment made me wonder, this man who has done so much for the town, what is he trying to do? What is his heart? Looking at the "fire" in his eyes, my heart suddenly surged, they save people, I look for people, this point is not conflicting, not to mention that the person I am looking for is the person they want to save? Just as I was about to tell Mo Qingyan about my decision, my throat suddenly itched, and the words I said changed.

"Do you have a cigarette?"

"Little girl's house! What a cigarette!"

At that moment, I wanted to smoke a cigarette, I don't remember that I could smoke, but my body, my senses, seemed to be secretly waking up, sometimes you forget everything, but your body still involuntarily follows certain habits. Maybe, I'm a heavy smoker, who knows.

It's a pity that there is no smoke here, and there is no machinery to grow tobacco in Lazy Town. Lao Xu said that in the past, tobacco was a very important commodity, and tobacco trading was an important reason to maintain the trade in major towns, and five years ago, as the only eastern town that produced tobacco, it was closed overnight, cutting off all communication with the outside world, and then tobacco disappeared from the market. It was also five years ago, what else happened outside Lazy Town that year, Lao Xu knew only the tip of the iceberg, I wanted to ask a little more, but he couldn't say. After all, Lao Xu's memories have been tampered with many times in the past five years, and he is quite domineering, he only remembers things outside the town five years ago, and he doesn't know what happened recently. They only pieced together some facts from the sporadic notes recorded by Lao Xu, even if Mo Qingyan used a lot of methods, they couldn't make Lao Xu think more.

When Mo Qingyan and I returned to the conference room, Fuqu and Lao Xu both looked at me in surprise, it seemed that they had talked about a lot of things during the time I was out. Fuqu didn't like me, she still looked at me with scrutinizing eyes. I knew she wanted to see a flaw in my conversation, after all, they were working hard in this dark base, and they certainly didn't want to be messed up by an outsider, but there was nothing she could do but trust me right now.

Listening to Mo Qingyan, Fuqu is an extremely intelligent and strong-willed woman, she had already discovered it when the therapist first tried to rewrite her memory, and even set up a protective wall in her consciousness, but it left room for the therapist to play, so that the information fed back by the healer to the lazy will show that the modification was successful, but in fact, the key memory has not been modified. Later, she found people like Mo Qingyan whose memories had not been rewritten, and taught them how to build protective walls. They have been secretly investigating the Lazy Scheme, even when they have escaped from the town. They were curious about my presence and what I did, so they assigned me a task, a very difficult one. I knew they were testing me and checking that I had what it took to help them.

Fuqu and Lao Xu quickly came to their senses, and Mo Qingyan proudly told them that I had agreed to help, as if he had personally persuaded me, and I retorted that he had figured it out by myself. Lao Xu was also very happy, but Fuqu was still iron-faced. Seeing the scene was a little embarrassing, so I asked Lao Xu:

"Lao Xu, when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow at noon. Lao Xu nodded at me.

"So fast, don't we need to discuss the battle plan again?"

"No, just go back and sleep, we'll put the whole plan into your pillow, and you can rehearse our plan in your dreams, and you'll know it all when you wake up tomorrow." ”

"Can I still do this? Do I sleep or not?"

"Haha, it won't affect your sleep, we've been discussing this plan for a long time, and it's absolutely safe on paper. However, it may also be because of your presence, laziness will increase the defense, and we must always be vigilant. ”

"So now you don't know for sure. ”

"Yes, lazy machinery is unfathomable, and it is we who will be wiped out if we are not careful!"

"Then it looks like we don't have any chance of winning, do we? I'm a little panicked......"

"Yes. Don't be so cowardly! Xiao Qiong! This time, the task is very simple, which is to bring someone back!"

"Who is it?"

"A mechanic. ”
