Chapter 45 The Tang People and the Gods
It's called Secret, in other words, the City of Secrets.
Qin Chu'an knew on the first day that there was such a dark place outside the jurisdiction of the Federation's "friends".
The reason why it is called darkness is because he can't imagine life without big data management.
Walking down the street, he looked at the people who were buying ingredients, and his heart was full of disdain. If he was in the capital, how could he need to touch the freshly slaughtered pigs and sheep himself?
Lamentable. He felt completely incomplacent about them. Losing the management of the central computer and living only according to the habits of the past, it is inefficient and unruly.
It's just some primitive people.
He looked up at the plaque at the entrance to the street, which read the kanji of Dongguo.
Chinatown.
"Tang people?" Qin Chu'an also knows a little Dongguo Chinese, he is half a step behind Chuanwu, and Manzhu follows closely step by step: "Why do Dongguo people like to say that they are Tang people." ”
Chuanwu took off the eye-catching black cloth and replaced it with a pair of sunglasses. The spider-like walker behind him was unremarkable, and everyone treated him like an ordinary blind man.
"The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of the Eastern Kingdom. In those days, the footprints of the Tang people traveled all over the world and left a deep impression on others. Chuan Wu said: "Plus, they also like this title." The Song Dynasty was weak, the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, and only the Tang Dynasty was the most in line with the spirit of the Eastern people. Two centuries ago, Dongguo overtook the Federation to become the world's largest power. If it weren't for the Federation's leadership in the field of supercomputers, it would now be a situation where the East Country is the only one. Feeling the lively atmosphere of this street, Chuanwu couldn't help but sigh: "But it is indeed a good country." ”
"But now it's them smuggled into the Commonwealth. Living in the light of the Federation is nothing more than stealing a living. Qin Chu'an was indignant. Alice tells him that the entire city is already illegal, not to mention the unemployed vagrants who have smuggled from Canada, and that the unidentified people they have investigated alone make up half of the city's population.
There are countless hackers gathered here, and there are even large slew of illegal servers that provide them with computing power. They held up an umbrella, and there was a safe night in the light.
This dark night hides filth and dirt, and I don't know how many criminals come here.
This is the territory of the Federation, but the "friends" have weak hearts. The underground is a natural barrier, and it is difficult to implement the plan without a clear investigation.
Fortunately, the Federation has never stopped infiltrating the Secret City, and Qin Chu'an knows that there are many people protecting them in the shadows now.
As they walked, a huge dragon dance rushed towards them. Qin Chu'an was about to make a move, but Chuan Wu held him down at the right time.
The huge dragon head suddenly stopped in front of them, the dragon's mouth opened, and the yellow-skinned Dongguo people inside smiled at them, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled the colorful dragon dance to go elsewhere. Everyone erupted in cheers, and Chuanwu pretended to be frightened and smiled gently, making everyone feel a little more fond of the young blind man.
In contrast, Qin Chu'an's unsmiling appearance was very indifferent. His distinctive smile is something that only those who know him will often see.
"I don't like them." Qin Chu'an walked on the street and pushed away the woman who was shouting for steamed buns, she was holding the fragrant meat buns in her hand and handed them over, but Qin Chu'an only felt that her hands were dirty.
"There are a lot of people who don't like them, but there are also a lot of people who like them." Kawago's sensitive ears heard a man with a federal accent thanking an easterner man to the effect that he had helped him retrieve his lost card pack.
"And it's the same with the Federation." Finally, he added.
This secret city buried deep underground not only makes Chuanwu feel unexpected, but also feels reasonable. There are always people who are not satisfied with federal policies, and high-tech technology provides them with a way to escape. They oppose ubiquitous data surveillance, and choose to shell out decades-old coins here to buy something, which is their choice, and it makes sense to exist.
It's just that, in the eyes of "friends", this is an event within the probability.
Chuan Wu is better than Qin Chu'an to see through, he does not hate the enthusiastic Dongguo people, this is the land of the gods, the gods do not favor any one person, no matter what they choose, the gods are watching them from heaven.
If one day, a "friend" sends him to destroy this place, Chuan Wu will not hesitate at all. In a way, he's closer to the old analysts who seem normal.
On the surface, people and animals are harmless, but the inner faith is firm.
Because he is God's people.
"There's a church on this street?" Walking slowly, Chuanwu seemed to hear a choir singing hymns.
Qin Chu'an raised his head at this time, and in the lively street, a church with federal characteristics stood on the side of the street. Many passers-by looked inside, and even though they were already old neighbors, they couldn't help but see what was going on inside. They don't understand God, but they don't reject it, they just keep curious and hilarious.
The old cross church, with its spire outlined by white bricks, and the colorful glass stained with a lot of oil smoke, still revealed a sacred atmosphere.
"Let's go in and have a look." Chuan Wu is a Christian, and today happens to be Sunday.
It is a day of worship.
The Holy Blood (wine) had already been distributed in the church, and a sermon was being preached, and to Qin Chu'an's surprise, there were not many people sitting here, and even many Dongguo people could be seen.
"How did I hear that the people of the East are not religious?"
"Shh Chuanwu pricked up his fingers and listened intently.
Inspirational stories are played on the big screens, and then the evangelist gives an uplifting talk to convince everyone that God's light is always shining on time.
"God has been watching us from heaven, and what we lack, it will give. He didn't hesitate to do what we needed......"
The impassioned speech was applauded by most of the people. Each pause was greeted with warm applause. Qin Chu'an also participated in religious gatherings in the capital, sang songs, preached, and believed in life, mostly the same. It's just that Chuan Wu next to him listened really seriously, and Manzhu also followed behind him and listened honestly, he was not easy to disturb.
Just looking at nearly half of the yellow people sitting in the position, he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
Are most of them non-believers really God's people?
"There are many religious people in the East, and even in the East, there are many people who believe in God." At the end of the two-hour sermon, Chuan Wu stretched his waist before answering Qin Chu'an's previous question: "But on the other hand, they believe in all religions and none at all. God, Buddha, Lao Tzu, and there are many religions in the eastern country, but if you calculate carefully, I am afraid that less than one-tenth of the people have faith. You are also watching the virtual law enforcement class, what kind of country do you think Dongguo is under Qi Huan's operation? ”
Recalling that in the virtual world, in the face of the might of the Holy See's holy knights, the Dongguo people first fled, then raised their swords to meet them, and finally crossed the Tianshan Mountains and fought with them. He knew that there was a so-called totem and a so-called emperor in the eastern country, but when a catastrophe came, they did not use it as a force.
If he knew that Guan Shi had directly cut off the emperor's head in an experiment, and the dragons had no leader, but they could still open up a piece of the world, he might be even more puzzled.
After a moment, he shook his head.
"I still have to understand a little bit, and it's not nice to say something." Chuan Wu lowered his voice: "Our opponents are them. ”
Qin Chu'an left the church with Chuanwu in uneasiness. Manju smelled the smell of buns outside the church and said that she was hungry. The aunt next to her heard her voice and hurriedly tried her best to recruit them.
"What is this?" Qin Chu'an stood in front of the bun shop, looking at what he had never eaten. Although it seems that Qi Huan has eaten it.
"Buns, buns. Your hamburgers, just, wrap them all. "Auntie speaks a little Federal, with gestures. I'm afraid that Qin Chu'an won't understand.
In the end, Qin Chuan still paid for it, although he was a little worried that the buns were unhygienic.
"Do you believe in God?" Before leaving, Chuan Wu asked without a tail. He knows a little Dongguo dialect and speaks fairly standardly.
The aunt's smiling face was stunned for a moment, her expression froze for less than a second, and then she immediately smiled more brightly, her eyes became a curved crescent, and her hands rubbed together on the apron around her waist.
"Believe, of course! As we old say, there are gods in the head! ”
She had long noticed that Chuan Wu had come out of the church, and besides, 90 percent of the people in the Federation believed in God.
"Why?" Chuan Wu continued to ask without changing his face.
"It's good to believe in God...... Belch...... Reincarnated as a rich family in the next life?! It's good anyway! "Maybe my aunt doesn't know what she's talking about.
There was no superfluous expression on Chuan Wu's face, and his white face was like a distant Arctic ice field. He controlled the mobility device and left the bun shop. Manju didn't know if he was angry, and the speed of biting the bun slowed down.
From afar, their keen five senses can still hear the aunt talking about them with others.
"You saw it too." Qin Chu'an noticed that there was more anger in Chuan Wu's tone, and once he talked about faith, Chuan Wu often gushed endlessly.
"The nearest place to God dwells people without faith."
He looked up at the unseen sky, and the world had been dark in his eyes since he received his gift. He couldn't see anything, but God gave him the gift he wanted, and he thought it was worth it. So he refuses to heal his eyes, and if he forgets his wounds, God may withdraw the favor he has given him.
Now, he felt that this secret city was a little darker.
People who have no faith are born with an unforgivable original sin.
Something flickered between his fingers.
Then let me bring the light.
Chuan Wu thought alone and returned to the place where they lived. Qin Chu'an said goodbye to the two of them, saying that he still wanted to go shopping.
The secret city is said to have many secrets, and Alice left them, saying that she could move around everywhere. The area is still safe, and their mission is to go deeper underground, and now, waiting for signals from other teams.
Besides, Qin Chu'an alone brings an arsenal of his own.
Weapons are not allowed here, and guns are prohibited. If everyone abides by it in place, Qin Chun'an, who can turn over a pistol at any time, will definitely be invincible.
Just as he was thinking, he turned the corner and a storefront caught his attention.
In a remote and uninhabited corner, a red tassel gun stands at the door, and a wooden plaque reads a Chinese character.
