Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lost Contact
After Vito and Lennon came out of Dupon's house, Lennon sent Vito home in a car, and now he lives in the eighth district, very close to the police headquarters building, Yang Cheng's home and the synthetic community where Elle lives are also in the eighth district, but Vito can't visit casually, because the community he lives in is a mixed area, that is, a community where natural people and synths live together, such a community is available in every district, but it belongs to a specially established community, and the number of residents is not very large, unlike the synthetic area where Elle lives, That kind of community is inhabited by synths; And like Yang Cheng's family lives in the most upscale community in this district, which is determined by his social status, no matter who it is, this is taken for granted, understandable, although the Magna Carta of the Republic stipulates that all citizens of the republic are equal, but in social reality, subject to various conditions or constraints, in the subtle life of life, the absolute equality between people is simply a dead letter, is abstract and empty. The interaction between communities at different levels in each region is restricted and restricted, and it is not something that can be done at will, and all require certain application procedures.
When he arrived at the door of the house, watching Lennon drive away, Vito stood still for a while, but did not enter the community, but walked towards the city, and when he reached the intersection of No. 11 Street, he stopped, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was 8:50 p.m., he looked around, but did not find the target he was looking for. At noon, he made an appointment with Yang Zheng, and waited for him at the old place at half past eight, talking about No. 11 Street and the side of the building that was about to be demolished, but now that the time has passed, it makes Vito wonder very much, Yang Zheng was born in a famous family, has received an aristocratic education, is an elegant gentleman, a noble gentleman, never easy to miss the appointment, today has not come yet, is something wrong?
Although the atmosphere in the eighth district is not so depressing, Vito still doesn't dare to be careless, after all, now that he has a special identity, once others see his image from those surveillance videos, they will take a second look, so it's easy not to let these cameras capture him.
A car came from the end of No. 52 Street, which intersected with No. 11 Street, and from a distance, Vito recognized at a glance that it was the car that Xiao Qi drove last night, Vito looked around, this street intersection was very eye-catching, he turned his feet, and walked quickly in the direction where the car was coming.
"Mr. Vito, the fourth brother may not be able to come, he asked me to pick you up and take you to the Nineteenth City-State Hospital, and follow your orders at night." Xiao Qi's expression was depressed when he spoke, his face was uncomfortable, and there was still a trace of Qi in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Vito didn't ask him why he was like this, but directly asked the reason, so that Xiao Qi could not deny it.
"But... But the fourth brother told me not to tell you. ”
Xiao Qi is still young, only eighteen years old, he is still a childish child, he has not learned how to talk, he directly said that Yang Zheng asked him to do this, I thought that if I said this, I would save the trouble of explaining, but I didn't expect Vito to nod and said: "Okay, let's go to Yang Zheng's house, I'll ask him himself." ”
"No, no, what are you going to do with him now, aren't you going to the Nineteenth City-State Hospital to see the injured! It's time for us to go, it's late. Xiao Qi's purpose was to divert the topic, but he ended up shaking his mind completely.
"Why not?" Vito asked rhetorically, "Didn't Yang Zheng tell you to listen to me at night!" Are you trying to break your word? ”
Xiao Qi stalked his neck and said, "How come!" I promised the fourth brother that I would definitely do it, so you can take me to his house. ”
"No, they can't go to their house now, they ....." Xiao Qi glanced at Vito vigilantly, and his mouth stopped.
"Oh, if you don't take me, then you tell me what happened? I might be able to help. Vito wants to show his worth, so that Xiao Qi feels that even if he tells himself, he is valuable.
"Help? Hmph, I can't help, such a large range, where to find it! Xiao Qi shook his head sadly.
"What are you looking for? Looking for something, or someone? What the hell is going on? Say it? Vito suddenly shouted loudly, which suddenly made Xiao Qi at a loss, he didn't expect that Vito, a synthesizer who has always had a gentle temperament, would have such a big temper, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a stupid face: "Yes... It's the eldest brother, I heard them say that the fourth brother's relatives in Jinghua sent a message that they did not receive the flight taken by the eldest brother, and that flight had to detour Medan, Siam, Luzon, Java, Taiwan, and Dongying, and then it would arrive in Jinghua, and the time required was fifty-one hours, and it was supposed to land at Jinghua Airport at seven o'clock this evening, but until this morning, there was no shadow of the plane, and at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the tower lost contact with the flight, and there was no abnormal situation before, The plane suddenly lost contact with the tower when it was located in the sea near the island of Honshu in the Pacific Ocean, and the plane had been missing for nearly four hours now. ”
Vito felt his head suddenly enlarge, this surprise shocked and regretted him, for Yang Qin, he had a sense of admiration and intimacy from the heart, this man's words hit his soul.
“... The world needs the brightest lightning bolt to pierce the lifeless sky \ Resist, oppressed souls \ Your eyes need blood to wash back to see again \ Let us spread the fire, one day, it will burn all over the prairie ...."
Vito muttered in his mouth, reciting this passionate and uplifting poem, his chest was full of infinite strength, the flames of revolution were burning, the flowing curly hair and the thin but resolute face appeared in front of him, two lines of tears rolled down in his eyes, he fell into confusion at once, he still had so many questions to ask him, wanted to ask him to solve his doubts, to show himself the way, but now all in vain, he could no longer see that chic and handsome appearance.
Looking at Vito's stunned appearance, Xiao Qi was infected by the rich sadness emanating from his body, and he saw that the synthetic man in front of him was really sad, it was for Yang Qin's eldest brother Yang, this eldest brother Yang was also a father and brother to him, thinking of his care for himself in the past, Xiao Qi suddenly wailed, if it wasn't for the car, and the sealing of the car was very reliable, his cry would definitely provoke the mounted police to ask.
Vito contained his grief, buried all this silently in his heart, turned his head to Xiao Qi and said, "Okay, you will cry when you see me sad, what did you do earlier!" Don't cry, drive, let's go see the 'Tianshui lawsuit'. ”
