Chapter 191: Major Discovery
After all, there is something going on, so Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin didn't play a few more games on this large-scale motion-capture automatic lifting slide.
The town hall is located in the middle of the city, so it's about two kilometers straight to the middle, which is about half an hour of walking on the feet of an adult.
Along the way, Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin looked at the light plants that did not grow randomly on both sides of the road, which obviously meant that the entire city was still being managed in an orderly manner, although they didn't see anyone. In this way, the two of them walked under the central tower where the city hall was located as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
Although it is said to be a tall tower, in fact, it is a lot more than the surrounding buildings, after all, it is underground, and there are only a few buildings in the whole city that are taller than the city wall, and you think that the city wall is only about 100 meters, so this tower is only 120 or 30 meters. The appearance of the whole tower is not unusual, it is a cylinder, and the overall color is mainly black.
The gate is not closed, or in this city, the buildings that Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin have seen so far have not been closed. may be the reason why it is basically confirmed that this is an empty city, even if they came to a place where this city is comparable to Zhongnanhai on the earth, Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin did not have much awe.
So just as Jiang Nan raised his feet and was about to go inside.
"Stop! Impolite little guy. A sudden scolding came from inside the town hall.
And Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin, who heard this voice, were also startled, but Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin didn't do anything wrong, so they naturally calmed down quickly. Then he shouted inside, "Sorry to disturb, the two of us are from outside." Can I talk to you? ”
After hearing Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin's shouting, the voice inside came out again: "Don't shout so loudly. I can hear you. I know you're from outside, and I'm the only one in the city who can talk, but I'm going to wonder if you're not from outside, and as for coming in, not everyone in the town hall goes in. ”
Just when Jiang Nan wanted to continue to express that he was very sincere, and he was eager to talk to the person inside, the voice inside came out again: "You can come in, but I can come out, you wait"
All right. It seems that the person inside is not unwelcoming to Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin, but he is just not allowed to let Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin enter out out of the consideration that he is not allowed to enter. Then just when Jiang Nan thought that a middle-aged man full of majesty would come out of it, Jiang Nan saw a little Zhengtai who was only about one meter two tall coming out of it.
I saw that this Zhengtai had green broken hair, and the brown eyes flashed not as innocent as a child, but with the sharpness and oppression that only adults have. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with intricate threads.
"Why, you're surprised by my image?" From the mouth of this one-meter-two Zhengtai, it was still the majestic middle-aged man's voice.
"Your Excellency looks surprisingly young. If you only listen to the sound, it will probably be a little different from the sound. Obviously, in order not to anger the other party, Jiang Nan chose some words and said to the other party.
After hearing what Jiang Nan said, that Zhengtai didn't care too much. Just waved his hand casually and said: "This real body that is not suitable for me, the reason why it looks young is just to save a little energy, let's sit down and talk." ”
Just when Jiang Nan wanted to ask, where did he sit down? Is it when you want to sit on the ground? In the land next to the gate. Suddenly, a large number of green vines burst out of the ground, and then the vines rolled and twisted together. It turned into three chairs with backrests.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nan probably had some guesses about the identity of this Zhengtai. Then after glancing at Fei Xiaolin, he made it to one of the chairs.
After waiting for the other party to also make a chair made of vines, Jiang Nan asked first, "Before we talk, can I ask about your identity?" ”
Regarding Jiang Nan's question, that Zhengtai didn't have anything to hide, so he opened his mouth and said to Jiang Nan: "I am the city tree of this city. ”
After hearing the other party's answer, Jiang Nan showed an expression that was really like this, and then Fei Xiaolin, who didn't wait for Jiang Nan to speak, hurriedly asked the other party: "In the past four years, have you seen outsiders other than the two of us?" ”
After learning the identity of the other party, Fei Xiaolin hurriedly asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
It's just that after hearing Fei Xiaolin's question, this Zhengtai shook his head without the slightest pause, and when he saw this action, Fei Xiaolin suddenly chuckled in his heart.
"I don't know." Then Zhengtai, who shook his head, said to Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin.
To be honest, Fei Xiaolin was mentally prepared, whether there was or not, but she didn't expect the other party to say that she didn't know these three words.
"How could you not know? Aren't you the city's city tree? How could you not know if there are outsiders coming to this city? For a while, Fei Xiaolin, who couldn't accept the other party saying three words, asked the other party like a cannon.
In response to Fei Xiaolin's questioning, this Zhengtai was not angry, but patiently explained: "If it was really a long time ago, I really wouldn't have been unaware, but as the city's energy reserves are getting less and less, I have turned off a lot of unnecessary functions, don't say if there have been outsiders in the past four years, you just asked me if there were outsiders who came yesterday, I don't know." I saw this Zhengtai make a gesture towards Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin, "Actually, my body and consciousness were born temporarily after you entered this city, and when you leave, I will disappear, and the memory of my contact with you this time will also disappear, and then my body will only have the instinct to maintain the operation of this city, so I think you should understand what I want to express."
I completely understand that the Zhengtai in front of me is just a one-time humanoid terminal, and in order to reduce consumption, the city tree in this city has simply achieved the ultimate in energy saving.
But such a result is better than telling Fei Xiaolin directly. His parents hadn't been here, and it was uncomfortable for people to come.
"But I don't have a memory, but it's not completely without clues. I just don't know if it will help you guys. At this moment, this sentence came again slowly. Can't you finish what you have to say in one sitting?
After hearing what this Zhengtai said, it was a lifesaver for Fei Xiaolin, "No matter what the clue is, it will help, as long as there is a clue!" Under the ups and downs of the mood, Fei Xiaolin was simply a little incoherent.
"Well, about four years ago, there were some records in my ontology records about the maintenance anomalies of the city, in certain areas. There have been abnormal consumption data, and from these data, there should have been outsiders at that time. ”
This clue is really timely, Fei Xiaolin immediately lifted his spirits when he heard it, someone came four years ago, so how could someone other than his parents come here so coincidentally at that time, if it were someone else, this place would have been announced a long time ago. Where is Fei Xiaolin studying hard for so many years, and deducing the location of this relic from the information left by his parents.
So Fei Xiaolin hurriedly asked, "Where is that area?" ”
In response to Fei Xiaolin's question, Zhengtai stood up and turned his hand to the south, and said to Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin: "Follow this direction all the way." You'll see a library that has been an anomalous area for generations. ”
After hearing this answer, Fei Xiaolin could still sit still. After thanking each other a few words, the alliance ran away.
is different from the excited Fei Xiaolin. After all, they are not Jiang Nan's parents, so they can be regarded as bystanders. Seeing that Fei Xiaolin, who had already run out, Jiang Nan turned his head to the city tree Zhengtai and asked, "So now there are only two outsiders in this city, me and her?" ”
After hearing Jiang Nan's question, that Zhengtai replied as a matter of course, "Naturally, it's just the two of you, if there are any other people, I just told that little girl." ”
Obviously, Jiang Nan didn't have much hope for this problem, and then asked a second question: "Then can you tell me how long the abnormal consumption area was maintained in that area of abnormal consumption four years ago." ”
Regarding Jiang Nan's question, this Zhengtai said to Jiang Nan lightly: "Two days." ”
After hearing this answer, Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and then glanced at Zhengtai who was sitting on the rattan chair again: "Then if there is a chance, we will come to disturb again, now I will go to find my companion first." After speaking, Jiang Nan got up and prepared to leave.
Looking at Jiang Nan's departing figure, the little Zhengtai waved his hand to make the vine that turned into a rattan chair retract into the ground, and then turned around and walked back to the city hall.
By the time Jiang Nan caught up with Fei Xiaolin, the two had already arrived at the area where the library was located.
The library building is very recognizable, the overall shape is like a row of books standing up, and around the library is a small square, in the center of the square there is a small pool, who in the pool does not emit a peculiar smell because of the perennial accumulation, but is very clear as living water.
At this time, Fei Xiaolin, who was standing outside the library, was a little nervous, and just when Jiang Nan thought that Fei Xiaolin was gaining and losing again, he saw that she walked into the library after taking a deep breath.
To be honest, this library is not very big, Jiang Nan took a cursory look, if in terms of the number of books, it may not be as rich as the libraries of some first-tier universities, but Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin did not come here to read books, the two of them came here to look for clues.
And it turns out that there are indeed clues here, although it is not possible to directly conclude that Fei Xiaolin's parents have been here, but Jiang Nan can obviously see that there are traces of outsiders coming to this library management.
Because there is no one in the city, and the city tree is only responsible for the basic operation of the city, there is naturally no librarian in the library, so naturally if outsiders come here and need to read the materials, if they don't plan to take it away after reading, few people will put the book back in its place, but directly leave it in the reading seat.
After turning a corner, Jiang Nan and Fei Xiaolin found a seat with a lot of books.
The significance of this discovery is undoubtedly significant, although I got the news from the mouth of that Shota before, there may have been someone who was active in the library four years ago, but it was an inference after all, and the books on this table now are undoubtedly ironclad evidence.
Hurriedly ran to the edge of the table, and was about to see what clues Jiang Nan could find from this pile of books, but found that Fei Xiaolin on the side did not move.
"It's my dad! Jiang Nan, this is the position my dad has ever done! My dad really came! Suddenly, Fei Xiaolin excitedly grabbed Jiang Nan's two arms and said to Jiang Nan incoherently.
"Calm down! What evidence do you see in this table? Jiang Nan, who didn't know what Fei Xiaolin saw that made him so excited, hurriedly asked Fei Xiaolin.
After hearing Jiang Nan's words, Fei Xiaolin let go of Jiang Nan's arm, then walked to the pile of books and carefully picked up a pen from the table.
"Jiang Nan, look, this is my father's fountain pen! With my dad's name engraved on it, this fountain pen was a gift that my mom and dad exchanged for their 10th wedding anniversary! Fei Xiaolin engraved the side of the pen with her father's name and pointed it towards Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan looked at it fixedly, and saw that this blue and white finely crafted fountain pen was engraved with such a row of words [For my favorite husband: Ferrero]
Although the first moment he saw the name, Jiang Nan thought of a kind of chocolate, but when this kind of seriousness, Jiang Nan also knew that it was not suitable for jokes, so after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Since it is such an important fountain pen, then your father should not fall here, unless there is an emergency, so he doesn't have time to bring this pen." Speaking of this, Jiang Nan paused and thought for a few seconds before continuing: "If it is an emergency, then it may not only be this fountain pen that has not been taken away, maybe there are other things that have not been taken away, we will continue to look for it, and we will not wait for new discoveries." ”
After hearing what Jiang Nan said, Fei Xiaolin suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Jiang Nan, you are right, let's look for it again, there will definitely be more clues!" ”
It's just that Jiang Nan didn't say some words, and Fei Xiaolin didn't necessarily think of it, but both of them subconsciously avoided some possibilities, in fact, these remaining clues are very likely to be called relics. For a while, on the surface, the two of them seemed to be just burying their heads in search of new clues, or relics. (To be continued......)
