Chapter 263: Unscrupulous means
"When I was very young, I lived in Canterlot for a while, just to get a feel for what the city had become, and then I went back with a lot of disappointment."
Luo Xunfeng recalled many years ago.
Perhaps it was then that he slowly began to dislike the city.
Both heavenly and earthly.
"I've tried to tell a lot of people that the world is big, that every city has its own characteristics, and that there's no need to blindly worship floating cities......"
Later results were not ideal.
The awe and yearning for the floating city seems to be engraved in the genes of every resident.
Luo Xunfeng feels that human beings should maintain their thirst at all times and use all means to break the barriers of cognition.
Wu Yu frowned and thought about it, he didn't seem to agree with Luo Xunfeng's point of view.
"There's a quote in The Great Gatsby: When you want to criticize anyone, remember that not everyone in this world can have those advantages that you have."
"You want to tell me that if I grew up in this city on the ground, I would be just as ignorant as these people?" Luo Xunfeng asked.
"Yes." Wu Yu did not deny it.
Luo Xunfeng was silent for a moment.
He had thought about this.
But it may be that I've lived in Floating City for too long.
His bones are inevitably tainted with some rotten arrogance, which makes him feel different.
"Maybe it's exactly what you say."
There are more and more people on the ground.
When they heard that someone was born to come down, they thought that they were going to send out invitations in advance, so they hurried over one by one.
For those who have lived in the city since childhood, the opportunity to settle on it permanently is the most irresistible temptation in the world.
"There are a lot of local organizations in the city, but the most famous ones are the Temple and the Secret Gate, which are opposites." Luo Xunfeng said: "The temple is a ridiculous organization, it would actually think that there are real immortals in the floating city. ”
He tells the story of living in a city on the ground.
At that time, the leader of the temple found him and worshipped him as an oracle.
This kind of deformed psychology made Luo Xunfeng feel very uncomfortable at that time.
He wanted to break their knees and connect them with hard, straight steel, telling them that there was no god in this world and that they didn't need to kneel.
"But these distorted situations are actually caused by the current Floating City." Wu Yu reminded.
"It's ...... indeed"
Luo Xunfeng looked at the city floating in the air above his head.
He is the youngest generation of archdeacons, controlling the order and adjudication of the entire Floating City, and he seems to be in a high position, but he can't change anything.
If those old guys don't die, everything will be the same as before.
But those old guys have lived too long......
Many people of the same generation who experienced the war years together, such as Dr. Blue River and Engineer Yin Long, passed away many years ago in the era of three generations of androids.
"They have invested in a lot of biomedical companies, and those companies have one thing in common, there must be a project team to study immortality, and even the two companies of Bilan and Xinhong have been entrusted by them to study alternative mechanical ascension."
Luo Xunfeng said that in order to survive, some old guys have now changed several hearts for themselves.
There are also those who rely on the so-called stem cell needles developed by biomedical companies, brain supplements, etc., to forcibly continue their lives.
"Half of the old guys are actually lying in the hospital bed, half dead...... But just don't die. ”
"You're still young, and you can wait until the day they die." Wu Yu said.
"I guess I can."
Young people will always want to do something big when they are young and vigorous.
Luo Xunfeng is the same.
He was worried that in a few years, when he was older, he might really become the person he once hated, as Gong Liangyu said.
And at the moment on the ground.
Lu Wen mingled in the crowd, and beside him were the people of the team.
He looked up at the car-like thing flying in mid-air, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Finally seeing the flying car."
Black exterior with a flat body.
It is angular and looks very technological.
The ejector is just under the body.
This thing was developed a long time ago, but because it is not very practical and consumes too much energy, it has never been mass-produced.
At least on the Mou side, I have never seen it.
Of course, this may also have something to do with the air traffic control in Mou.
The Floating City is indeed rich, and millions of people enjoy the benefits of tens of millions of people.
Everyone born in the Floating City, from birth to death, does not need to worry about any financial pressure, they only need to choose the career they love, such as economics, technology, biology, etc., and then immerse themselves in it.
Of course, you can also eat and wait for death.
In fact, most of the inhabitants of Floating City do just that.
They are already human beings, and they don't need to work hard.
All the people of that city have a common notion that the development of the above-ground city must be suppressed so that there will never be a second floating city in the world, so that they can enjoy it from generation to generation.
Lu Wen naturally saw Wu Yu.
He'd heard that this guy was favored by the old guy in Floating City.
Gong Liangyu seems to feel that he doesn't have good enough offspring in his family, so he wants to find some outside.
"It's boring, it's just two people." One member of the team muttered something under his breath.
Admittedly, they can understand the fanatical attitude of the people in Canterlot.
But understanding and acceptance are two different things.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
Some organizations have come over.
Outside this huge mountain of metal garbage, on both sides of the river, it is already densely packed with people.
Those who were looking for treasure in the river and trying their luck in the garbage mountain also stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
"That's our great oracle!"
A high-pitched voice suddenly came out of the crowd.
The guys from the temple also arrived.
They were relatively numerous, and they had been assembled for a long time.
Ordinary people have shunned it.
It's a bunch of crazy people.
Even though they all lived in Canterlot and none of them had received a complete education, they at least knew that there could be no immortals in this world.
"Enough!"
Luo Xunfeng, who was in the heights, suddenly shouted.
When he saw that the people had begun to bow down again, and their eyes were reverent, he suddenly felt very sick.
Luo Xunfeng controlled the car to fall from the sky and come to the ground.
The surrounding crowd hurriedly avoided it, leaving enough space for the two distinguished guests of the Floating City.
He stepped out of the car, grimacing and dressed in a white uniform, seemingly out of place in this filthy and tattered world.
"There are no so-called gods in this world, those who dwell in the heavens, they are all like you, they will also be sick, they will also be injured, they will be born, old age, sick and die, this is the law of all things, no one can escape!"
He looked at those who knelt down with a cold gaze.
"Stand up! I don't know what your leader said to you, but it must be false! ”
But the kneeling temple people still did not get up.
They trembled.
Angered the messengers of the gods, they were terrified of punishment from above.
"Great oracle, please don't be angry, we are just a bunch of lowly mortals." The black-robed man who took the lead said sincerely.
"You're the temple leader of this generation?" Luo Xunfeng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"Dismantle the temple, the Floating City doesn't need your faith."
"This ...... Disbandment ......"
The black-robed man hesitated for a moment.
"Your Excellency, is this the will of the gods above?"
This question made Luo Xunfeng completely unable to suppress it.
His face was pale, the blood vessels on his forehead were faintly visible, and he said angrily: "How many times have you said that there is no so-called god in this world!" Every time I come down, I tell you, over and over again, why don't you listen?! ”
Luo Xunfeng turned around angrily.
Naturally, there was disappointment in my heart.
But disappointment is useless, perhaps more just what Mr. Lu Xun said, lamenting his misfortune and being angry with him.
"Chief Luo!"
A voice suddenly stopped him.
Luo Xunfeng was about to get in the car and leave, but suddenly stopped.
He stopped for the title, not some 'angel' or 'man of heaven', but a simple phrase of sir.
This is called...... The other party also sees him as an ordinary human being.
Luo Xunfeng turned his head to look.
He was stopped by a man who looked to be in his thirties.
This person Lu Wen they knew, it was a person from the secret door, called Qi Jun, and he put forward a proposal to cooperate with them at that time.
"Chief Luo, this is a letter written by the secret gate for many people in Central City, I hope you can read it carefully, what happened here...... You are the only one who can help us. Qi Jun handed over the letter.
"Okay, I'll see when I get back."
Luo Xunfeng accepted his letter.
"Chief Luo, what is the ...... this letter is about It can be dangerous, so you can contact us if you need help then. Qi Jun said.
"There shouldn't be anything in this world that I feel dangerous."
Luo Xunfeng has always been so confident.
A request from Canterlot shouldn't be too hard for him.
He went back to the car.
The car slowly lifts into the air.
Luo Xunfeng looked at the people below and said loudly: "A hundred invitations will be issued the day after tomorrow, I hope you can compete rationally, in the past, only two or three people with special talents stayed in the floating city, there is no need to block your life for a sightseeing opportunity!" ”
With that, he drove the car and flew towards the floating city above him.
On the ground, countless pairs of envious eyes followed the car into the air.
That destination is the dream of most Canterlot residents.
In mid-air, Luo Xunfeng took out a sterile operation box.
He placed the letter in the box.
Then close the box and seal tightly.
With both hands inside two rubber gloves, he picked up the letter in the box and slowly opened it.
You can't blame him for being cautious, after all, it's a secret door.
That organization is always trying to figure out how to get Canterlot down.
The letter was opened without any visible gas and should be safe.
Luo Xunfeng quickly read the contents of the letter.
It's a few simple sentences, but the description is shocking.
"Those old guys...... Is it so unscrupulous? ”
……
On the ground at the moment.
The crowd dispersed.
There are still many people who stay by the river, or on the mountains of metal garbage, looking for something to sell for money in the tattered steel parts and electronic instruments.
Qi Jun saw Jiang Fatzi in the crowd.
"Brother Jiang, you are also here."
