Chapter 67: I Heard

"There's nothing to say about the two cities to the west." Duan Tiannan smacked his lips, picked up a peanut, chewed it carefully, and shook his head gently, with an endless aftertaste.

"Uncle, last time you said there was a king over there, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, it's just that their king doesn't have any rights, it's just a symbol, the mayor and the council control the power, but the king is really rich, those calligraphy and paintings, antiques and so on are placed everywhere in the house, and just take a few away is enough to have food and clothing for a lifetime."

"What does the king look like? Are they so tall that they can use their scepters to cast magic? ”

"It's not." Duan Tiannan shook his head, "That's an ordinary person, my uncle went to the palace a few times when he was young, and he was so scared that the old guy hid directly underground." ”

The crowd laughed.

Although I knew that I was coaxing the child, I still couldn't help it.

"Old Duan, there has to be a limit to bragging, that's the king."

"Why, won't the king eat and drink Lazar? That's not a god! It's a person who will always be afraid. ”

Duan Tiannan muttered and took another sip of beer.

The other middle-aged people were just laughing, and there was nothing to do on a rainy day, which was meant to be bragged.

Little ones love to listen to it too.

"Uncle, what about the north? I heard that it is very cold in the north, do the people there live in the magic ice castle? ”

"It's also very hot in the summer in the north, how can you live in the ice castle, but there are some people further north who live in the ice castle all year round."

"Further north?"

"It's a place where you can see the aurora, when my uncle used to go hunting in the far north, he saw the aurora several times, but unfortunately he didn't take a picture, otherwise I can show you, it's really beautiful."

"Xiaoyang, in fact, the most interesting thing is the city in the middle." Duan Tiannan smiled at the little boy and said, "That city is divided into two parts, one of which is floating in the sky, and it floats so high that the people below want to climb up...... The bastards of the Supreme Council live in that half of the floating city. ”

"Floating in the sky? Is it magic? ”

"It's not magic, it's technology, you have to study hard in the future, learn more knowledge, and when you grow up, you will go and knock down that half of the city in the sky, there will be many people who will thank you, and you will become a hero."

"Heroes?"

"They will write a book for you, erect a statue of you in the city square, show your story on television, and children in the future will follow your example."

"Uncle, is there really magic in this world?"

“……”

Duan Tiannan raised his forehead and looked at the shopkeeper.

"What do you usually show this kid?"

"Hey, kid, I like to watch these when I'm five or six years old."

The shopkeeper laughed.

"That's right, Lao Duan, maybe you were still playing with mud when you were five or six years old, and you didn't even know the word magic."

"I was training in a concentration camp when I was five years old!"

Lu Wen listened very carefully.

He felt that Duan Tiannan said it very well, as if he had experienced it himself.

"Haven't we ordered yet?" He suddenly realized the problem.

The shopkeeper hasn't greeted me since I called in.

It seems that the two of them are coming in to take shelter from the rain.

Are people in the slums really not eating at this point in time?

"I'll eat it later, I think you're listening to it pretty well."

“……”

Except for Lu Wen, it seems that the little child is very energetic to listen to.

In fact, the two still have something in common, both of them are learning about the world for the first time.

In the past two weeks of rebirth, he was either worried or tired, and there were few normal people around him, and Lu Wen always felt that he had a difficult start.

But sometimes I think about it, even if I don't do anything, it seems that I can live comfortably now?

"Uncle, what do you always say androids look like?"

It's true that droids are rarely seen in the slums.

Lu Wen has been here for a few times, and when he shows his bracelet, he always feels some inexplicable gazes.

"It's about the same as that brother."

"Isn't that brother human?"

Yes, I'm not human, I don't have brains.

Lu Wen smiled slightly and showed the bracelet on his left hand to the little boy.

The boy's eyes widened, and he looked at the bracelet closely, as if wondering why this thing could distinguish between humans and androids.

"If you want me to say, there are more and more androids awakened now......"

Middle-aged people often talk about world events, urban situations, war between androids and humans, and peace......

Even if there was a droid sitting next to them across the aisle, they didn't have any scruples.

In the eyes of many people, androids are just machines that do what they are told.

"War will come sooner or later, let's get rid of those android organizations as soon as possible, and we will be safe."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with those androids, if you want me to say, if you can't solve the problem, just solve the problem company, shut down the two companies, won't the problem of the androids be solved?"

“……”

The little boy blinked as he watched the uncles discuss how to solve the problems of today's world.

It's still Uncle Duan's story that's interesting.

He saw Uncle Duan smile and smiled sadly.

"Everybody's talking about androids right now, which shows that the High Council bunch of things are doing a great job." Duan Tiannan shook his head lightly, "People's hearts and public opinion." ”

"That city, those people, never climbed up, this city, these people, the same...... Even if he lives in numbness every day, even if he is given a gun, he does not dare to resist, they discuss the android, always thinking that if the android is solved, life will be better......"

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.

I didn't bring an umbrella when I went out, and today's zero meeting has already passed, and listening to the sound of the ticking rain, the world seems to be much calmer.

Lu Wen looked at the raindrops outside and thought about what the middle-aged man said.

"You're wondering why androids really appeared in the first place." Xia Chuluo looked at him.

"Hmm." Lu Wen nodded.

"Don't think about it, let me tell you, after the war eighty years ago, there was no shortage of human resources, the labor market was close to equilibrium, and the emergence of androids ...... A large part of the reason is because after the war, people were very depressed and needed a channel to vent. ”

"Understood...... So the information is all fake? What those people know now is also false? ”

"Data is just what people want you to see."

Xia Chuluo didn't say much.

Lu Wen didn't ask again, he knew a lot of things, but he added to the blockage in his heart.

There was the sound of treading water outside.

From far to near.

The girl walked into the noodle shop, collected the umbrella, and shook off the rain.

She looked inside the noodle shop.

"Ah, what a coincidence, did this sister come here for dinner today?"

The girl smiled and walked over to Lu Wen and sat down.

Xia Chuluo glanced at her lightly.

"It's a coincidence."
