[020] The mechanic's family
"Marnie, don't run so fast, beware of getting lost!"
In the quiet alley, the lively laughter of the little girl came, followed by the anxious voice of the young man.
Marnie ran ahead, Io followed closely behind, and the two walked through the alley, when suddenly a small courtyard appeared in front of them.
Walking through the streets and alleys these days, they have basically never left this area, and before they know it, they have traveled far away, but Infinity City is very big, and they have only found a very small part.
The small courtyard smelled of mechanical lubricating oil, many parts were scattered everywhere, and a teenager who was one meter six tall seemed to be installing something, squatting on the ground with his back to Marnie and Io.
"Excuse me, can we come in?" asked Io, who was a little curious, walked to the door of the small courtyard and spoke.
The boy didn't seem to hear, still tinkering with something, reaching out to pick up a part from time to time, and the sound of installation kept ringing.
Io then asked a few more questions, but still didn't respond.
"Let's go, we may not be welcome. Io whispered to Marnie.
Marnie's nose moved, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Io, but there's something delicious in it." ”
She took out a jelly from her pocket and threw it directly at the young man, the jelly hit the young man's head, and the young man reacted and turned around in a daze when he saw the jelly on the ground.
"Excuse me, can we come in?" Marnie shouted.
The boy nodded ignorantly and said yes, and he got up from the ground.
"Hello, I'm Io, she's ......" Io smiled and began to introduce herself.
But before he could say Marnie, the young man opened his mouth and replied: "Marnie, I know she is Little Marnie, my name is Zhong Ke, hello." ”
"Hello. Marnie spoke, a pair of thief eyes constantly glancing into the room.
Zhong Ke was obviously not the kind of person who was particularly sleek, and he didn't know what to do at this time, so he hesitated and asked, "What are you guys...... Is there something wrong?"
"We're looking for the No. 1 dessert shop in Infinity City, do you know anything about it?" asked Io.
Zhong Ke shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it, I don't eat desserts." ”
"Oh, well, what are you doing, so many parts, are you a mechanic?" asked Io, looking at the parts on the ground, curious.
There were a lot of strange parts in this small courtyard, and at the same time, there was a strange metal plate in front of the place where Zhong Ke was squatting just now, which seemed to be hiding something.
"Well, I'm a mechanic and I'm making my secret weapon, sorry, I can't show you this. Zhong Ke saw Io's searching gaze, and said a little uncomfortably, obviously he rarely refuses others, and now he is a little embarrassed to reject others.
Io expressed her understanding, Marnie's nose moved, and finally revealed her true purpose, she looked at the house on the left side of the small courtyard, and asked, "It's so fragrant, what does this smell like?"
"Little Marnie wants to eat it? I'm boiling Warcraft soup. Zhong Ke is obviously a little more enthusiastic about little Marnie, and seems to have a good impression of Marnie.
In fact, Marnie was originally very popular in Infinite City, after all, she was the playmate of countless strong people from childhood to adulthood, and even the eldest sister of many strong people.
Marnie nodded her head to indicate that she wanted to eat, so Zhong Ke invited the two into the house.
Inside the house, a girl in a wheelchair seemed to be repairing her mechanical legs, and when she heard the sound, the wheelchair turned around automatically, and when she saw Marnie's eyes lit up, she said happily: "Marnie, come and hug." ”
"No. Marnie refused.
The girl was suddenly disappointed and lay on the horizontal board in front of the wheelchair.
"Okay, just get used to it. Zhong Ke said with a smile.
He then invited Io and Marnie to sit down, and he went into the kitchen to prepare.
"Hello, my name is Io, and she's Marnie. Io smiled at the girl in the wheelchair.
The girl only noticed Io at this time, and when she saw Io, her face immediately turned slightly red, and then she whispered, "Hello, I am Zhong Ke's sister Zhong Li." ”
"Your leg, Infinity City should be able to heal. Io looked at Zhongli's legs and asked with some curiosity.
There is no incurable disease in Infinite City at all, and with a disability of Zhong Li's degree, any healer can be 100% sure of the treatment.
Whether it's attaching special limbs or using spells to create new legs, it's not difficult.
"I'm a mechanic like my brother, and I've made myself what I am. Zhong Li said shyly.
It was only then that Io realized that her hands were actually mechanical arms, with obvious dents at the joints.
The profession of mechanic is not many in Infinity City, mainly because some of the skills of mechanics are indeed a bit terrifying, and they need to cut off their hands and feet, and even replace their own organs.
There are even mechanics whose entire body has been replaced except for the soul, and there is no longer any flesh and blood.
Because of the incompatibility, mechanics are generally loners.
"Can I pinch it and see it? It's the first time I've seen such a real machine. Io asked curiously, looking at the mechanical leg on the table.
Zhong Li blushed and said, "Hmm." ”
"Wow, it's soft, it's almost indistinguishable from real legs. Io picked up the mechanical leg and found that the touch of the mechanical leg was very good, except that it was slightly heavier than the normal leg, this leg was no different from the leg of an ordinary person, and even the temperature was exactly the same.
Zhong Li lowered her head and blushed, she had a remote connection with this leg......
"That's amazing, did you make it yourself?" asked Io curiously, pinching his toes, feeling particularly cute.
Zhong Li's face was red and about to smoke, and he stammered, "Well, I'...... My brother and I took a different route...... Yes...... Yes...... Don't pinch there...... Boom ......"
Syllable!
At the kitchen door, the bowl in Zhong Ke's hand fell to the ground, looking at Io and Zhong Li with a shocked expression.
“......”
Ai Ou stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhong Ke a little innocently, he really didn't know that Zhong Li and this leg were still connected, and he felt that it would be transmitted to Zhong Li.
"My soup!" Marnie cried out sadly.
Zhong Ke reacted and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped, I'll go serve another bowl." ”
After saying that, he quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen, and the awkward atmosphere was finally a little better.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a connection to this leg. Io put his leg back on the table and quickly apologized.
Zhong Li said shyly: "It's okay, I didn't tell you." ”
A minute later, Zhong Ke came back with the soup, beckoned Marnie to drink the soup, and then quietly observed Io and Zhong Li.
"Are you starting to transform your whole body now?" asked Io with some curiosity, his eyes looking at Zhong Ke.
Zhong Ke shook his head and said, "The whole body has not been transformed, but the hands, feet and heart have been replaced." ”
"Has the heart been replaced?, can I take a look?" Marnie looked at Zhong Ke curiously, and drank the soup as she spoke.
Zhong Ke seemed to be unable to refuse Marnie, hesitated and nodded in agreement, he was wearing a plaid shirt, and at this time unbuttoned it, revealing the left side of his chest, and sure enough, there was a circular dent in his heart.
In an instant, the dent swirled open, and he could directly see the beating heart in his chest, which was glowing with metallic luster, and he reached out and the heart drilled out like an octopus, wrapping around his hand.
He said with a little difficulty: "This is the nano heart I built, which can continuously improve the blood supply to the body, and the nano pole will flow along the blood vessels on a regular basis, removing the fat precipitated in the blood vessels, and at the critical moment, it is still a depleted uranium bomb, and the runes on the outside are made by me asking the enchanter to enchant, once the explosion will trigger the effect of enchantment, all elements will be suppressed within ten kilometers, and there is an effect of prohibiting the release of skills." ”
After saying that, he put his heart back in, breathed deeply, and the green tendons on his forehead gradually calmed down.
Io couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that it will malfunction?"
"No, I have absolute control over my heart, and if anyone can take it away, then I'll admit it. Zhong Ke said confidently.
Ai Ou looked at Zhong Li curiously, Zhong Li quickly covered his chest, blushed and said, "I...... I didn't take the same route as my brother, I didn't change my heart. ”
"I didn't say I wanted to see it. Io said innocently.
Marnie then spoke, "I'm done, Io, let's go." ”
"But I haven't drunk it yet. Io reacted and looked at Zhong Ke with wide eyes, as if asking, 'Where's my soup?'.
Zhong Ke was stunned for a moment, then got up embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I thought it was only Marnie who wanted to drink." ”
"Forget it, let's go. Io said helplessly.
However, Zhong Ke and Zhong Li hurriedly stayed at this time, and Ai Ou was 'persuaded', so he sat down again.
Zhong Ke got up to serve the soup, and Zhong Li was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, very few people in our family come, so we may not be polite." ”
"No, no, no, it's actually that we're too thick-skinned. Io laughed.
Rashly breaking into the house of someone you don't know to drink soup, ordinary people can't make it.
"Are you two the only ones in the house?" asked Marnie, a little bored after finishing the soup.
Players in Infinite City, except for some who chose to die by themselves, some of them died too bad and no one was resurrected, and most of the rest are still alive.
Zhong Li smiled: "They are at home, but you can't see them." ”
"Can't see?" said Io, in surprise.
Zhong Li thought for a moment and raised his arm, and then the arm cracked, forming a light screen that showed the situation of the house.
"There's a ghost!" Marnie threw herself into Io's arms, pouting and shivering.
Io also looked at the light screen in surprise, and there was a man and a woman in the house in the light screen, and the two of them were standing behind him, looking at him with scrutinizing expressions.
"My mom and dad are also mechanics, and after giving birth to my brother and me, they sent their soul cores into the database and became waiters in Infinity City. Zhong Li explained.
The house is equipped with cameras and has access permits turned on, so Zhong Li's parents have been paying attention to their children, but there are no major problems, and they will not interfere with their children's choices.
