"Woo, woo", the strange siren sounded throughout the city, and it was not as quick and tense as the siren that sounded two nights ago, the sound was calm, more like a soothing message.

Hearing this voice, the survivors who had been holding back in the haven for two days could not hide the excitement on their faces, and a few younger ones even rushed out with their hands dancing directly, although they were blown all over the ground by the wind, but they still burst into tears with excitement, and the shadow-chasers could see that it meant that the enemies in the city had been cleared and the city in the sky had returned to its former safety.

These lucky people who were lucky enough to be rescued didn't want to stay longer for a minute, and as soon as the sound stopped, they couldn't wait to run towards the city, what they missed most now was their familiar home, take a hot bath, make a drink, and then sleep comfortably, completely forgetting the night that was almost alive two days ago. However, the four middle-level officials had complicated expressions, and they stopped talking in front of the shadow chasers, until Mia patted them on the shoulder, and Shur secretly nodded at them to reassure them, and the four turned away nervously.

The children are the most carefree and the best to deal with, and Delia handed the fruitful cards to the others, and after a while in their ears, the four children jumped and ran towards the city, and the West Outer Ring was said to be not far from here, so there was no need to worry about their safety. However, it seems that Delia is planning to continue to pester the shadow chasers, and her familiar personality makes the mercenaries cry and laugh.

"Surveillance is in place?" Immediately empty, Shul leaned back comfortably in his chair and said to Mia, who had patted the four mid-level officials on the shoulder, "That's fine, keep an eye on them, once they are found to be behaving abnormally...... Scold. ”

"Bang", Miridy, who was playing with her skull, suddenly opened her five fingers, and her mouth simulated the sound of an explosion, "I arranged it myself, but unfortunately, the four of them didn't have a chance to enjoy the watermelon when it exploded." ”

"Well, now that the outsiders are gone, it's time to discuss your problem, little one. Shul looked Delia up and down with a smirk, "Why do you have to follow us?"

"Wait for my commission. Without thinking about it, the girl replied, "If you don't pay me the commission in advance, I'll leave at once." ”

"Okay. Glancing at Mobuck, the metal ball made of five gold coins was placed in front of Delia, "It's good for you, leave the address, and we'll look for you when we need your help." ”

"Hmph. The little guy stared at the golden ball and hesitated for a while, then suddenly turned his head with disdain, "Grandma said that the money given by others for no reason is used to buy lives, and it must not be taken." You prepaid me commissions for no reason, you must not be well-intentioned, I don't want it. ”

"Awkward little thing. Shul laughed dumbly, and stopped teasing her, picking up the five golden balls again and putting them back in his pocket.

"Hey, captain, captain, don't you think there's something wrong?"

"Hey, I'm usually sluggish like a dead person, but I started to be sensitive at this time. Shul pursed his lips, reluctantly took out the gold coins and threw them back to Mobuck, ignoring the idiot who was smiling and his eyes were almost covered by a full beard, touching the little one's head and saying, "It's also for your own good to let you go back, you are not suitable to be too close to us, and besides, there are some things that are not suitable for you to know." ”

"Isn't it just a collaboration with those moths to steal the scientific research results in the city, as if I don't know. Delia pouted dissatisfiedly, "Moreover, even if you pretend to be the black marketeer are discovered by them, it won't affect us, the relationship between the West Outer Ring and the black market is a little closer than you think, and the people in the black market don't care much about others impersonating, so I won't have any trouble because of you." ”

"Oh?" the few people looked at each other in surprise, and the little guy knew a lot, "Don't you feel angry that we are going to steal something very important from your city?"

"It's not stealing our West Outer Ring Road, what's there to be angry about. Delia muttered, "Besides, if you are really black market merchants, if you want to use our city's technology to sell it, it may affect the city, but you are not black market merchants at all, let alone sell it, it has no impact on the city, what am I angry about." ”

"Tsk, it seems that you can't be treated like an ordinary child. Shul dragged his chair and sat down in front of Delia, "Tell me why you want to follow us, I want to listen to the truth." You should understand that people like us, no matter how much they like you, once you have a problem, we will not be emotional. ”

"You promised me when you said that?"

"Poof. Even Moria couldn't help laughing, and said that you would let me follow and that you would promise me, but two completely different concepts, the little girl was too cunning, and knew how to take advantage of the opportunity to bargain. Finding that Xiu'er was glaring at him, Lin Jing made a grimace and looked up at the sky, "Yo Yo Yo, I'm just a deer, I can't understand other people's staring at me." ”

Shuer rolled his eyes, pinched his chin and thought about it, suddenly grabbed Delia and pressed it on his leg, slapped him three times in a row, and then snorted coldly: "Children who are disobedient should be beaten." ”

Delia, who regained her freedom, quickly hid behind the chair with her buttocks, poked her head out like an angry sparrow, and glared at Shul angrily, and after a long time, she found that Shul resolutely refused to back down, so she walked out awkwardly and sat back in her place, and said wistfully: "Uncle, I want to enter the Tower of Babel." ”

"Oh, the Tower of Babel, huh?" Shure suddenly reacted, "Wait, the ground is dangerous, it's already occupied by machinery, that Tower of Babel should be no exception, what are you doing in such a dangerous place?"

"Well, that's true. Delia bit her lip and said with some uneasiness, "You guys are really mysterious. ”

"Oh, of course, we're ......"

"Uncle, don't be perfunctory to me, you promised to tell the truth. The little girl said plaintively.

"Ahem, what I just said is that I want to listen to the truth, and secretly tamper with other people's meanings with a sad face, you are really a talent. ”

"Hee-hee, it's pretty much it. ”

"Far from it, okay?"

"Actually, there are so many things wrong with you, you don't know the city roads, you don't know the city class, you don't know the characteristics and habits of mechanical invasion, well, these can be explained by the fact that you come from other cities, although the situation in other cities should be similar. "But you don't even know what's in the Tower of Babel and what it means, and I wonder if you're a human on this planet." ”

Oh, I was forced to do it.

Everyone found that they still underestimated this child, her senses are keener than most adults, and she is extraordinarily calm, others don't understand, just say that Surta, the four middle-level officials, it is impossible to guess whether you are creatures from other planets like her. Although Shuer originally had the intention of using her as a breakthrough to learn more information about this world, so he revealed some secrets intentionally or unintentionally, but being able to react so quickly and grasp the essence is enough to prove that she is not ordinary.

Staring thoughtfully at the little girl's face, Shuer thought for a long time, it is not difficult to find an excuse for the explanation, not to mention Shuer, even if it is Safu who is present, it is estimated that he can make up a lot, but on the one hand, it is a question of whether the little girl believes it or not, lying will inevitably destroy the relationship between the two parties, and more importantly, on the other hand, Shuer suddenly does not want to hide it.

"Little one. Shur dragged his chin and looked Delia in the eye, "Tell us the story of your planet." ”

"Uncle......" The little girl bit her lip and hesitated for a while, then nodded vigorously, "Okay, but here?"

"Hmm, what's the problem?"

"This is a rest stop for workers to overhaul, and they have just experienced a large mechanical invasion, and they will definitely be overhauled all over the city, and there may be workers coming at any time. The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to the West Outer Ring Road, I am more familiar with the environment there, and my house is there, so I won't stand on the street and arouse suspicion." ”

"Is it just that the environment is familiar?" Shul nodded anyway, "Then let's go, talk as you go." ”

"Our planet, originally called Brown Star, has most of the surface land, and the ocean area is not much, but there is not a lot of surface water resources in the interior, and the climate is not bad, and it is historically said to be a habitable planet. ”

"In its heyday, there were about 22 to 25 billion people on the entire planet, which is what today's historians have calculated, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"According to the history books, originally there were more than 300 large and small countries on the Brown Star, but with the development of civilization, the concept of the country became more and more blurred, and finally formed a highly autonomous coalition government with regions as the boundary, we all called it the Brown Star Coalition Government, this coalition government that ruled the entire planet has continued until now, and even today, all cities still obey the orders of the coalition government and are under their jurisdiction. ”

"Due to the large population, in order to alleviate the tension of space, the coalition government has built nearly 100 sky cities, each of which will float around a Tower of Babel, relying on the principle of magnetism to levitate in the air. At the same time, he also began to explore the universe, hoping to find other planets to immigrate. ”

"Universe?" Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, "It's okay, you can continue." ”

"In order to maintain the operation of Sky City, as well as to work in an unsuitable environment, scientists have built a large number of mechanical bodies to assist human work, and mechanical bodies are said to be really convenient, and most of the work can be done with their assistance. ”

"More and more machines were built, and life became more and more convenient, until one day, civilization suddenly collapsed. ”
