Chapter XXVIII

The hanging garden never sleeps.

Every part of the city, there are neon flashes at every moment. The crystals hanging on office buildings, offices or shops ruthlessly rob the sun's brightness, like a silent fire, like countless stars, illuminating the billowing red dust raised on the ground and the endless clouds in the sky.

And the wind, like a whirlpool, blew the dust, and the flags flew, and the new flags belonging to the New Kingdom drifted to the west, and a little to the east. Gu Chuan raised his head, and with the red and green neon, he could see clearly the paper hanging on the wall, on which was the face of him being copied by the bureaucrats of the Foreign Affairs Department when he was in the Foreign Affairs Department.

He turned and walked away.

The dragons in the port rested, and he couldn't be idle, so he came out of the idle warehouse in the port. But when he came out, he had no money, and he had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to trespass on his house to read his mind, so he could only walk around this strange and noisy street, through the group dance square, into the bar, into the restaurant, into the hotel, under the disgusted gaze of the boss, sit quietly for a while, and then leave from the stool. Occasionally, he looked at the gambling game on the sidelines, or at the glass ball played by a few young people in a corner, at the lovers and me, and at the trumpeting orchestra as they walked by the roadside.

Huge colorful paintings in the name of victory and peace glitter overhead, and the dragon of the past is an outlier of the new kingdom of Hangpu, and he is an outlier of the entire world of Qiongqiu. His kind is now kept out of his reach.

He walked about until he came to an alley, where he escaped the merry-seeking young people and came to a quiet, primitive stone wall. He had a copy of the hanging newspaper that had been thrown on the ground.

There is an official newspaper in the Hanging Garden. This newspaper was born out of the fact that when the National Assembly was not yet the National Assembly, their leader privately called on the people to form leaflets against the dragons. The flyer has a logo called Asahi. The Asahi Ilbo has thus been handed down and has become the mouthpiece of the National Assembly today, and has changed from a thin sheet or two of paper to a thick pile.

The Asahi Newspaper is usually published every three weeks, with occasional additions or pages.

There are additional pages in this issue. He looked at it, and a lot of the main body was about the Black Elder Dragon and Bu Zi, and the last additional page had recruitment information. The conscription information was trampled on several times by its original owner. Further down from the conscription information is a summary of the wanted criminals who have not yet been caught.

There is more than one wanted prisoner in the Hanging Garden. In the past, it was not illegal for a dragon to kill people, but now people kill people, as long as they kill a person, they will be wanted. When conditions are lowered, there are more fugitives at the moment. He was a new wanted criminal, and the newspaper contained more information than the wall, which selectively published the self-statements of many young people and the observations of the Foreign Affairs Department.

Fortunately, he said that the information he gave to the Foreign Affairs Department was limited, and the affairs of Sunset City did not affect the Hanging Garden, except for the Foreign Affairs Department, his communication here was only Tianrime and Tianhe Shawang. Both of these points are a little wavering, and it is impossible to come to him in person.

In other words, unless there are special means, unless the Hanging Garden is determined to search and block it completely, he is still very safe in the Hanging Garden for a short time.

"Just ......"

What's next?

The restless young man threw away the newspaper and went back to the unused warehouse in the port. The warehouses are filled with goods that have been here since the port was built, mostly unused building materials. He hid in a corner, leaning against the cold steel and unactivated transistors so that he would have time to react even if someone came in.

He was too much to sleep at this time, but he thought that he should sleep, so he forcibly closed his eyes, and his mind was still wandering about what would happen after that, how he should act, and if he acted like this, he would not be able to rest.

Outside the warehouse, four lines of searchlight kept patrolling back and forth from morning to night. The neon light illuminates a few people walking around, as well as young people passing by the port.

As for the allosaurus groups that work in the "port", they have all rested. This is a decision on the schedule of the human department. They make no sound, they don't do anything, they don't flap their wings, they don't say anything.

"Do they sleep well? We've been talking for so long...... In the end, is it just doing nothing? ”

The young man blinked, staring through the cracks in the wall at the silent world of the port. Occasionally, a heavy object falls to the ground and makes a loud noise, which is the loudest noise.

There are many such cracks in the wall, some of which are invisible to the darkness, and some of them can see the scene next door or the outside world. He shifted his position slightly, and he was on the edge of another wall. Through this crack in the wall, he could see the allosaurus next door.

However, at this time, the allosaurus should have already slept.

He thought.

He thought as he put his eyes on the crack in the wall.

At the other end of the wall, a chubby dragon without wings lay on the ground, curled up in a ball, and sank into a good dream.

There was no need for him to observe a sleeping xenosaurus to look away. But at that moment he saw the dragon's tail move, and it swept lightly and imperceptibly across the groundβ€”

It didn't sleep.

The young man immediately stopped his movements, and his eyes refocused on the crack in the wall, peeking more closely through the crack in the wall for all the behavior of the alien. But the slight movement of the alien tail seemed to be just his hallucination.

After that, the allosaurus closed its eyes, and its huge body shrunk there, silent.

The young man trusted his instincts, and leaned there to look carefully, and soon found some clues. This dragon's behavior is extremely strange. It swings from side to side less like sleeping unconsciously, but more like tickling itself, or moving its body when it is idle. And no matter how it moves, it is all in place, tightly shrinking its body, its limbs are absolutely immovable, and its body will never move a single step.

Observing this, his intuition turned into a sure judgment, and he began to wait patiently.

All the voices became distant in the silent waiting. The sounds of laughter, noise, and the sound of people driving away each other, the fall of heavy objects, the yawning of the ground, the shaking of stone walls, and the wind all interfered with attention.

He couldn't move because the cracks in the walls were small, and the opportunity could be fleeting.

But he had the patience to wait for a day and a night.

Time has lived up to the waiting of young people. Just as the timetable was about to arrive at work, he saw the dragon move, and something like a thread slipped out of his hand and fell into the dirt.

The allosaurs went out to work.

The number of people in the port has also begun to increase, and the long-awaited civilian groups have rushed to establish this economic transportation activity in the hanging garden.

He infiltrated the group and joined the storekeeper he had hypnotized to inspect the xenosaurus' bedrooms.

"What ...... this?"

The storekeeper spotted the line faster than he did in the process of sweeping the floor.

Gu Chuan's hand immediately slapped on his body, and the horn hidden in his clothes pressed against his body, and said to him in his mind:

"Don't care, you think this is just ordinary garbage, what do you have to think about?"

The storekeeper threw away the thread, sighed, and said:

"Do these things every day...... Coming and going, nothing has changed, and friends don't have time to talk. ”

His thinking went much faster than what Gu Chuan had instilled.

Only then did the young man stick to this thread, and he actually had a feeling of contact with the dragon's heart, as if he could see the world of spiritual light at any time. But this world of thinking is narrow, only on the edge of the line.

But this thread doesn't seem to work for people......

This is one of the means by which Allosaurus presses the bottom of the box.

He held down the turbulent waves in his heart and buried the thread back in the ground. He saw the thread coming out of the rock. There is a lot of soil in the hanging garden, but it is not thick enough.

The allosaurs are taking a risk.

But he did not dare to blatantly continue the search, walked back into the noisy street, and planted a subconscious in the storekeeper's mind, not caring if he saw the line, but if he saw the line in the empty room, he made a simple mark.

"Because you've been working hard before, and when you saw that thread, you suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, and in a hurry, you forgot the way to the toilet and kicked twice at the door."

This is obviously nonsense, but in the flow of thought, similar unconscious veins can occasionally be captured. Since it is objectively possible, it is also in the realm of mental language.

When the crowd became more and more crowded, he once again found an opportunity to sneak into the wired room. He got the news from a close reading that this room had also been the room of the dragon, but the dragon had been taken away.

The door was closed, and no one could see him.

He dug the thread out of the soil and waited silently.

Sure enough, in just a moment, the psychic language pulsed along this line. This thread is ground from the horns of the allosaurus. And the use of threads also proves that the Hanging Gardeners have mastered a certain way of eavesdropping, which may only stop the spread in the air. Zero-distance or very close transmission is not affected. But when you think about it, it's also logical. Zero-distance transmission can not leak any information to the outside world, and if it can be detected in the air, it is really a supernatural wonder. And if it was a specific strange thing, the former Alien Dragon Dynasty would never sit idly by.

It's not impossible, but it's unlikely.

The young man did not hesitate, and went straight to the corner of the dragon's heart to dive into the field of vision, and sure enough, there were many dragons talking inside, continuing the previous hidden chat when they were unoccupied on land.

It's even more radical here.

More than a dozen different dragons scolded each other, some even scolded the four surviving elder dragons together, and some fought against them in order to continue to maintain the elder dragons. Gu Chuan had no doubt that if humans didn't care, they would also fight together.

The collapse of the dynasty brought an end to the supremacy of the original Elder Dragon.

This group of alien dragons chatted, and the most they talked about their current situation was about them.

They are terrified of it.

The Black Elder Dragon is also a complete traitor in their eyes, but at least it is a traitor who can protect them, then it is not a pure traitor, but also a "benefactor and elder".

Since the Black Elder Dragon had been severely injured by the Remnant and its body had been cut into two pieces and could not be recovered, it would definitely be far away from the power center of the National Assembly, which was also an unbearable pain for the Alien Dragon, who had already given up the struggle. They are uneasy. This anxiety may be replaced by humbled humility with a headbutt, or it may be replaced by monstrous anger.

There are allosaurs who keep asking similar questions.

There are also allosaurus reservations:

"But the human system has been very good to us. They don't dare to enslave us, they are afraid of our power, have you forgotten what the National Assembly said when it came to power? They will ensure the equality and safety of all races and allosaurs. They're trying to preach it, it's in the newspapers, it's all over the mouth. Did you see it...... Those people call us brothers...... This is the mind of the Black Elder Dragon. ”

It was also at this time that Gu Chuan learned about the Black Elder Dragon's terrifying origin theory. In this theory of origins, all life is described as having a common origin, sharing the same single ancestor, but gradually transforming into a different form through different long developments.

He fell into deep thought.

The other dragon said in this line:

"On the contrary...... In the old dynasty, although we were above the human line, we also had to obey the orders of the scholars, princes, princes, monarchs, and elders, and we must not disobey them. ”

They are a group of low-level allosaurs, and naturally they do not enjoy much power.

As the chat continued, the uneasiness in the group of dragons was dissipated and soothed.

They wanted a little peace of mind. When peace of mind arrives, there is no longer fear of the future, and there is no longer painful thinking about choices.

"People say that we will live in peace and contentment, away from quarrels and meaningless disasters. On the contrary, if we get up...... It's only going to get worse...... Are we going to die, or do you want another war of annihilation? But we can't beat it, and besides, what can we do? The flames were extinguished everywhere, and all the great dragons were stopped...... Everything points to the fact that the status quo is already for the best. ”

The more you talk about it, the less sound there is in the line.

The more silent the world of the hearts and minds that communicate with each other.

At this moment, a voice that was unfamiliar to all the xenosaurs sounded with a terrifying calm:

"Did you believe them?"

"What?"

"They say it's good to you, and you believe it?"

A few dragons retorted that they had read their hearts up close, and that those people were sincere.

There was a sneer from the voice, which meant mockery:

"Of course, they will push a few people with such intentions in front of you, just as the Black Elder Dragon chose humans among the vast members of our race. Don't think of people as a whole...... Behind those few people, there are many people, countless people. We can't read the minds of these people, they just stand behind those who are pushed out and stare at us, observe our behavior, and choose what to do next. They oppress our living space, just like ...... Like now...... Call us ......"

It is not possible to communicate directly, but to use underground lines.

The uneasiness in the hearts of the xenosaurus was revealed, and this uneasiness was the kind of restraint and restraint they had been holding back. They have tried 10,000 reasons to explain the need for a blockade, but they must not disobey their own nature.

They get excited.

A dragon said loudly:

"But everyone is saying that war is terrible, and that the feud between man and dragon is terrible! Friend! They all said they were going to oppose strife, to kill, to oppression, to ruleβ€”"

The four opposing ideas summed up by the dead leaders of the National Assembly shocked the dragons of the past dynasties.

There were only a few terrible laughs coming from there:

"It's easy, friends......"

"Simple ......?"

The young man was sweating profusely in the empty room. He knows what he's doing...... He may be doing something more terrible than setting fires.

From the moment he unconsciously inserted the first sentence, he couldn't stop.

He realizes that he could turn into a comical villain.

Because all he had to do was to get a man out, join his companions, and get out of here forever.

He was at that time, facing the bleak wall.

Behind the walls are the panicked minds of the dragons that roost.

He said:

"Because they're lying to you."

It's as if no matter how hard people try, they will die, but there will be people who trick others into eternal life, so that they will pay the price to alchemy.

They deceive you with good things, to make you lay down your claws, to endure everything, to give up the dignity and glory of the past! And they often become a last resort, killing our people because they rebelled and having to do so, and reforming our fellow citizens because they have done evil deeds and need to be punished.

"They're putting them on the moral high ground, they're deceiving you."

I know, I know deep enough, that what we want is not this commanded flight, but the freedom to fly! What we want is not to grind away our minions and endure civilization, but to dance freely!

The dragons were silent.

After a long time, a guy woke up like a dream and asked:

"Who are you...... I don't think I've heard you speak before. ”

The young man paused, and he remembered that the group of people were named after the sky. He knew a name, one that was closely consistent with the name of the Allosaurus that circulated among the Gear People.

He said:

"Celestials."

Mentor Celestial.
