Chapter 5 Incense
Strange to say, there should be no starlight in a city that never sleeps, only the faint yellow moon.
But in this city of hope, anything seems possible.
If you look up, you can see the stars, and even if you go to the nearby countryside after leaving the city, you can't see it so clearly, and the Milky Way visible to the naked eye hangs in the sky.
"Dididi, the garbage is too big to contain."
"Dididi, the garbage is too big to contain."
“......”
The continuous sound of the alarm pulled Jiang Qiu back from his dizzy state, and he rubbed his eyebrows as he sat at the door of the house, feeling like a fragment, as if he had returned to the door of the house from the sewer of the Xusheng Academy with a dazzling effort.
When the white wolfdog was completely unconscious, it had automatically returned to the shadows, and even the crows that were wandering outside were forced to dissipate.
The automatic cleaning robot on the side looked like a garbage can, half a person tall, with a red light flashing above its head, and the monitor was constantly scanning back and forth as an eye, as if Jiang Qiu was being regarded as oversized garbage.
A little farther in mid-air, a group of teenagers of the same age could be seen driving cars, and a rainbow-colored light curtain resembled a corridor, outlining a racing track around the edge of the outer city.
The teenagers, without exception, drove hovercars, which showed that they were getting faster and faster, and the organizers used drones and nearby surveillance to broadcast the event throughout the event.
In the display screen of the nearby high-rise building, the three hosts are passionately explaining the championship competition.
Jiang Qiu glanced at it and saw the different logos on each car, as well as the advertisements printed in color, and probably knew that there were several automobile giants who used this competition to promote their hovercars.
Jiang Qiu was not interested in this, one of the reasons was that he couldn't afford it.
"The annual Qualifiers for the City Race Championship have officially opened, and we can see that these suspension cars of Debiao are the most mechanical, equipped with the latest research and development of the full submersible system of Debiao, which greatly improves the driving speed......"
"The next second track is the Voyager series of cars developed by Wumart Group, which is light in texture and connected to the data terminal, so as to achieve the unity of ideas...... In short, this car no longer needs a steering wheel, just a thought from you, you can go when you want, stop when you want, and there will be no more accidents of accidentally stepping on the accelerator! ”
“......”
Jiang Qiu yawned and walked into the house, cutting off the hustle and bustle outside.
The good thing about technology is that even if the track is above his apartment, even if the sound of the host's speech resounds through half the city, as long as the door is closed, all sounds will be shut out.
When the door was opened, a note sandwiched in the crack of the door floated down, but the short two lines of words made Jiang Qiuzhi frown.
[If you want to investigate your family's affairs, you can ask 'Adam'.] 】
[You owe me two favors, remember to pay me back in the future.] 】
It was not handwritten, but printed, and the person who left the note was cautious.
Jiang Qiu silently clenched the note into his fist, and with a slight shock, the note was torn to shreds.
Back in the empty hut, I first washed my underwear, burned the contact lenses, gloves, night clothes, etc., took out the steamed buns that still had a little residual temperature from the pot, and dealt with pickles.
Then he picked up a rag and wiped the corners of the wall and the unnoticeable places behind the door, even if Jiang Qiu rarely used the stove, he would rub off the little oil stain left on it.
Lu Qingyan occasionally comes here to spend the night, but she is a bit clean.
And Jiang Qiu, who was a little machismo, felt that it was already very hard to take the car, and asked Lu Qingyan to help clean up the housework, although Lu Qingyan didn't say anything, his demeanor and words seemed to be enjoying housework and being a housewife.
But his heart never got upset.
Over time, I developed the habit of cleaning the house every day.
As for what happened along the way, whether it was captured by the surveillance or not, it was useless to think about this kind of thing that must have no answer, so Jiang Qiu simply didn't go to the bottom of the matter and pursued the answer.
It's okay and too much.
There is a statue of Bodhisattva next to the family portrait in the middle of the room, Jiang Qiu washed his hands, changed into clean clothes, and put on three sticks of incense with a solemn expression.
He didn't believe in Buddhism or Taoism, so he didn't kowtow or make a wish, and he pursed his lips as he glanced at his family photo.
Jiang Qiu thinks that I don't believe in you, but I still burned incense for you, so I don't need to pray for anything, as a god and Buddha, you should also know my appeal, right?
Where the hell is my family!
"My parents' work has always been kept secret and have never told me who the person who brought me back was. What is his relationship with my parents? ”
"Ya...... It claims to be a super-intelligent AI, but I always felt that something was wrong, especially after giving it a personality. ”
"But the most important thing now is who brought me out of the sewers?"
"That kid's technique was supposed to be air manipulation, by changing the specific gravity of different components in the air, to make me unconscious. But it seems that he is only a fifth-level magician, and the range of control is limited. ”
The word Adam, Jiang Qiu was a little taboo, and did not say it directly.
In fact, not only him, but a considerable number of people will have a taboo against this name, especially hunters like him.
Jiang Qiu felt that this was a good thing.
Students who study hard in universities, white-collar workers in office buildings, waiters, technicians, scientific researchers, etc., in the service industry, can be called 'good people' in a sense.
They can call this super-intelligent AI by their name as they like in Tianyang City, because they know that this Adam will protect them.
A hunter like Jiang Qiu has a more or less unclean foundation on his hands, and he can't withstand serious investigation at all, so he can be regarded as a 'bad guy'.
The development of science and technology can make good people feel at ease, and can make bad people palpitate, and strictly speaking, it can be called useful technology.
"There's an old guy in my family who should know something inside...... Let's ask tomorrow. ”
Jiang Qiu was lying on the bed thinking over and over again, but he lacked the prerequisites and intermediate steps, everything could only be groundless conjectures, and he felt more and more irritable.
Especially their own neighbors!
It's already 1 a.m., and although the sound insulation of the houses in the City of Hope is good, the vibrations are hard to stop, especially in a cheap apartment building like the one I live in.
Jiang Qiu looked up, he didn't see through, he couldn't see the situation of moving upstairs, but he could hear a crackling sound overhead, as if someone was moving the sofa according to the rhythm, from left to right, to the window, and then to the kitchen.
Jiang Qiu admired the neighbor upstairs.
An uncle about forty years old, like himself, chose to work in the service industry, and his salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month can still support himself in the City of Hope, but how does he bring back different girls every few days?
Every time, I had to toss until midnight.
Unlike himself, he only tosses with his girlfriend from beginning to end.
Thinking about it like this, Jiang Qiu was happy and felt that he was very reliable.
He got out of bed and followed an ancient boxing technique taught to him by his friend Mencius Kun, standing on a pile, standing on a pile, moving his body as he wished, and the qi surging in his body changed from an ocean to a stream, so as to 'paid' every muscle in his body.
There is no roar in the ears of martial arts novels, nor is there a posture like a dragon with fist style, only subtle to the extreme body control and the extension of qi.
Tai Chi, Tong Back Boxing or Judo, what to practice, Jiang Qiu does not refuse, anyway, no matter what kind of ancient martial arts, he learns very quickly.
Many times Meng Zikun wanted to invite him to his own boxing gym to teach the boxing master.
In the era of the prevalence of technology and abilities, Jiang Qiu went against the grain and chose ancient martial arts to practice, Jiang Qiu was considered to be contrary to the general trend of the whole world.
