The slums are dilapidated, with stinking ditches and potholes, and most of the houses are simple tin houses, where most of the miners live, as well as some homeless people, and many of the people at the bottom who serve the city.

Because it was late at night, the appearance of Lin Tian and the others did not attract the attention of others.

Durant led them around and around until they finally came to his home, a dilapidated building with a slight slop of air leaks.

Durant stood still at the door, never plucking up the courage to knock on the door, and Lin Tian didn't mean to urge, he kept waiting.

After a long time, Durant looked at Lin Tian and the others apologetically, took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Rand."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from inside the house, then the light came on inside the door, and then the door opened a crack to reveal the face of a haggard middle-aged woman, and when it was confirmed that it was Durant, the door was opened.

"Rand, why are you only coming back now, you're about to kill me, your dead ghost dad wants to make a fortune, you let him go, it's better to die somewhere, why are you still going to him, there are still younger brothers and sisters to take care of at home, you can just leave, it's too unusual, you ......"

As soon as the middle-aged woman opened the door, she quickly said a lot, but when she saw Lin Tian and the others behind Durant, she was speechless.

"They are ......"

Durant held back tears, "Mom, let's go in first, they're all my friends."

"Oh, good ......" The middle-aged woman was stunned, and subconsciously got out of the way.

"Excuse me, Auntie."

Lin Tian smiled slightly and said apologetically.

The middle-aged woman shook her head in a daze, wondering very much how Durant knew Lin Tian and the others, and when she saw Lin Tian, she was not an ordinary person.

Durant took Lin Tian and them into the house, and after closing the door, he put the cloth wrapped in ashes on the table, walked to the middle-aged woman who was in a hurry to pour water for everyone, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Mom, Dad, he...... Daddy, he'......."

The middle-aged woman's hand pouring water froze in mid-air, and slowly turned her head to look at Durant, "What's wrong? What's wrong with your dad?"

Durant couldn't stop crying: "My dad ...... It's dead."

Syllable!

The glass kettle in the middle-aged woman's hand fell to the ground, and the water and glass shards scattered on the ground, but the middle-aged woman was unaware, and Durant's words still echoed in her mind.

After a few moments, the middle-aged woman collapsed on the chair and wept silently.

After Lin Tian put Mo Ya on the chair, he sighed at the same time as Ah Lian, standing aside and not knowing what to say, and after a while, the crying downstairs disturbed Durant's younger brothers and sisters who were sleeping upstairs, and after learning the news that their father had died, they also cried loudly.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and the family cried all night, until dawn, when the middle-aged woman took Durant's younger siblings upstairs to rest.

Durant somehow found two jars from there, packed Brie's ashes separately and placed them on a high place to worship.

When people in the slums died, they could not afford to buy a cemetery, so they burned their ashes and put them in jars at home.

This sloping building is still the ancestral heirloom of Durant's family, there were tenants in the past, and the family lived well in the slums, but since the foundation was unstable and the house tilted, no one dared to come to rent, and the family has been living in dire straits with the meager salary of his father in the mines.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Durant's father was injured in the line of duty, and after only getting a small amount of compensation, he lost his job, and the family was sad until Durant's own uncle came to the door, and the rotten gambler came to Durant's father because he owed a lot of gambling debts, and instigated him to follow him to the city of ruins to hunt for treasures, in the face of great temptation, Durant's father did not hold back, regardless of the opposition of his family, and resolutely decided to go with Durant's own uncle.

I didn't expect this to go, it will be forever.

Lin Tian and Ah Lian placed Mo Ya in a room, took a cold shower without hot water, changed into miscellaneous clothes bought from the street, and after eating something casually at Durant's house, Lin Tian handed over the task of taking care of Mo Ya to Ah Lian, and he took No. 1 and No. 2 to a miscellaneous storage room and began to look at No. 1 and No. 2 carefully.

Lin Tian: "Do you have a name?"

Number One and Number Two: "No, master."

Lin Tian: "What is the God Destroying Project?"

Number One and Number Two: "Master, you don't have permission to know the contents of the God-Destroying Plan."

"Huh?" Lin Tian was stunned, and his head didn't turn for a while.

One and Two knelt on one knee: "Master, I'm sorry, we're just carrying out orders, you have all the authority except for the God Exterminator Project, of course, once we touch everything related to the God Extermination Project, we will give priority."

「……」

Lin Tian couldn't help but complain: "It means that as long as it is related to the God Destroying Plan, whether I am dead or alive, or need help, you will leave me?"

Number One and Number Two nodded expressionlessly.

Lin Tian slapped his forehead, and his feelings were like this.

However, Lin Tian didn't delve into it, he just said curiously, "You two, you can't even defeat the Divine Guard, how can you carry out the God-destroying plan?"

No. 1 and No. 2 looked up at the same time, "Back to the master, it's not that we can't fight, but we have less energy stored and can only fight with the lowest energy consumption."

Lin Tian blinked, "Less energy? How do you recharge? Wouldn't it need to be recharged?"

"Master, we don't need to recharge, we just need to leave Lighthouse City and go outside for a while."

Lin Tian said incredulously, "You mean, you can absorb highly concentrated spirit seeds?"

"That's right!"

"What is your energy now?"

"Six percent."

Hiss~

Lin Tian took a breath and circled around the two 'people' twice, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, if it was really like what his two 'people' said, after absorbing all the energy, would he really be able to defeat the divine guard?

However, the Divine Guard has been destroyed, and I can't find a chance to try, if the two 'people' are really that strong, it's not bad to stay around.

Lin Tian thought for a while and said, "If you want to follow me, it's okay, but I have one condition."

"Master, please say, as long as it is outside of the God-destroying plan, we can agree."

"I was about to talk about this, from now on, as long as it doesn't involve that god-destroying plan, you must listen to me, if there is the slightest disobedience to what I said, you don't have to follow me, and you don't have to call me master, understand?"

"Yes, master."

"Also, you don't have a name, it's a hassle to call it, either you come up with a name for yourself, or I'll give you a name."

"Please give the master a name."

"Hmm...... Come to think of it, you wait."

Lin Tian circled around the two 'people', clasped his hands, and slapped his index finger on his cheek, looking like he was thinking seriously, and after a few minutes, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "No. 1, you are called Changkong, and No. 2 is called Treading Snow, how about it?"

"Thank you for your name!"

"It's nothing, get up, I'm just taking it casually, you don't mind."

Lin Tian originally wanted to name it after the comic characters he had seen, but he didn't want to suddenly feel something, and felt that the two 'people' were very suitable for these two names, so he said it.

At night, Lin Tian explained a few words to Ah Lian and then took the sky and the snow to the edge behind the mine in the dark night, which was the closest to the sky, because it belonged to the edge area, and at the same time belonged to the slum area, so there were relatively few drones and guards patrolling.

Lin Tian plans to send Changkong and Treading Snow out of Lighthouse City to replenish energy, and then recall them when needed, the way to contact is a small ring, a ring made of nano-level materials, Lin Tian can shrink freely with it on his hand, Changkong and Treading Snow easily stepped out of the sky and disappeared into the thick fog, Lin Tian smiled slightly, turned around and went back, he had a hunch that sooner or later he would need Changkong and Treading Snow, which was the reason why he sent the two 'people' out.

The Shining City canopy also has a layer of light panels that simulate day and night, as well as the weather, and is known as the Dome.

At night, it's pitch black, there's nothing to see.

returned to Durant's house and came to Moya's room, at this moment, Moya had already woken up, looking out the window in a daze, looking at the dishes and chopsticks on the cabinet, she must have eaten, and Ah Lian fell asleep on the other bed.

Lin Tian walked over, stared at Mo Ya's cute and somewhat pale face, and said with a smile, "Wake up, are you better?"

"Well, it's better." Seeing that Lin Tian was coming back alone, Mo Ya asked, "Brother Xiaotian, those two ...... What about people?"

Moya also didn't know if Changkong and Treading Snow were people.

It seems, yes and no.

Lin Tian told Mo Ya about sending Changkong and Treading Snow away, as well as the fact that they were robots, and Mo Ya nodded knowingly.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Tian saw that it was not too early, so he got up and walked to the door.

"Brother Xiaotian!" Mo Ya suddenly stopped Lin Tian.

"What's wrong?" Lin Tian turned around.

"The ......"

Mo Ya looked like she wanted to say something.

Lin Tian saw what was on Mo Ya's mind and said with a smile, "Mo Ya, you don't need to explain, everyone has their own secrets."

"Hmm......" Moya nodded silently.

Lin Tian finally said, "Also, Moya, no matter what happens, I hope that this is the last time, and don't joke with your life again, okay?"

"Uh-huh......

Mo Ya knew that Lin Tian was caring about herself, and a flush appeared on the porcelain doll's face, and she lowered her head, feeling warm in her heart.

Don't look at Mo Ya's appearance and figure looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, I don't know, I thought she was precocious, but in fact, it was not, it was just an appearance, her real age was the same as Ah Lian and Lin Tiandu, both seventeen-year-old boys and girls.

After Lin Tian left and closed the door, Mo Ya blinked in her heart and looked at Ah Lian, who had no sleep, and snorted disdainfully.

Lin Tian came to his room and unexpectedly found Durant who had been waiting for a long time at the door.

"Brother Lin!"

"What's wrong? Rand."

Durant looked up at Lin Tian with a firm gaze: "Brother Lin, teach me how to use psionic energy!"

「……」
