Chapter 2: Secrets
"It's boring in my own house, and I've found out something." Xiong He walked up to Li Shang and said slowly, "Where did you go in the past?" ”
"I, I, I." Li Shang's brain is running rapidly, my past, my past, my past...
"You didn't go over." Xiong He lowered his head, looked into Li Shang's eyes, and said slowly: "An ordinary person, I can see that he is in his mother's womb, unborn, and you, I can't even see yesterday, I can only see the appearance of you when you came to Sky City this morning." You're my second, invisible, yesterday's person. The other one is me when I was six years old, and I can only see that when I was six years old, I was taken to Sky City by my father. And I couldn't see how I came here, I asked my father many times, and he never told me. So,"
"We must have some secret in common, or something in common. So, this time I'm going to run away with you, and we're going to find our past. Xiong He pointed at Li Shang and said, "If you know something, tell me quickly." ”
"I don't know, I don't know anything." Li Shang sat on the ground and hugged his head and said, "I can't remember." All I know is that I was told that if I bring you to Xi'an, I will be able to pay off my debts. ”
"What debt? Gambling debts? Or whatever. ”
"I don't know."
"You don't know anything." Xiong He rolled his eyes: "Then when you go to Xi'an, who are you going to hand me over?" ”
"Give it to an arms dealer."
"What is he going to do?"
"I don't know."
"Okay." Xiong He's face was speechless: "It's not difficult for you, I can't even see your past, and you definitely can't remember it." Then let's go to Xi'an. ”
In a dilapidated building in the city of Xi'an.
"Very good, Li Shang, I didn't misread you." An arms dealer with gold teeth and a fleshy face smiled and said to Li Shang, "You really captured this kid." Rest assured, this room has special devices, and within this range, her superpowers have no effect. ”
"Yes. So our debts will be written off. Li Shang asked tentatively, he wanted to know what their debts were.
"What debt?" What Li Shang didn't expect was that this arms dealer looked at Li Shang in surprise as if he didn't know anything, and then, as if he had figured out something, he said with a smile: "Li Shang, haven't you noticed that you are not from this world." ”
As soon as these words came out, the stone was shattered.
"What?" Li Shang's eyes widened.
"You're not from this world. You're only here to help us, against Papa Bear. Maybe you're talking about debt, in another world. The arms dealer gritted his big gold teeth and said with a smile, "Do you know about parallel worlds? ”
"Know what that means." Li Shang replied.
"That's easy to say. The first to open the door of time and space was this child's father. The arms dealer pointed at Xiong He: "We don't know what the purpose is, we don't know how he did it, and we don't know what he did." Anyway, after opening the door of time and space, his daughter has the skill to see through the timeline. And then, as you can see,"
The arms dealer turned on the TV, and inside it was Papa Bear's speech: "He rules the world." ”
"We must work together to build a better home for mankind..." Daddy Bear was on the TV, gushing about his speech, and the audience applauded. The arms dealer then turned off the television.
"But the world he rules over is a false world. He just used a super huge holographic projection device to envelop people in a happy home. The arms dealer opened the window, and the light was shining outside, and it seemed that everyone was happy and healthy, and he pointed out and said, "The world you see is false, and the real earth is nothing but ruins." The only real thing is the city in the sky. The few who know the truth want to unite and overthrow Papa Bear's rule, but as long as she is alive. ”
The arms dealer pointed at Xiong He and said, "No one can defeat him." So, we're going to kill her. The only way is to find someone who has no past and no future. Therefore, we have also opened the door of time and space, and from another time and space, we have received you, and you will be our hope to defeat Papa Bear. And you did it, you brought her back, just kill her, and we will win. ”
"Wait, wait, wait..." Li Shang's head burst out, how do you prove it: "This world is fake?" ”
The arms dealer replied, and he handed Li Shang a glass of vinegar: "I ask you, what should vinegar taste like?" ”
"Sour, of course." Li Shang replied.
"You taste it." The arms dealer said with a smile.
Li Shang didn't like to drink vinegar, but he still tried to take a big sip, and then waited for the sour taste to come to the tip of his mouth, but he found that this cup of vinegar was far less sour than he remembered.
"Why is that?" Li Shang asked.
"Because the vinegar in your memory is a very pure vinegar, and this cup of vinegar is just labeled as a very pure vinegar by a holographic projection, it is not a real cup of vinegar, but something else. Papa Bear's strategy is very high-end, and there are no flaws in this world under the holographic projection. And the only flaw is the food. The arms dealer came with some delicacies: "These foods are far less delicious than I remember." This is because the food on the earth is inherently limited, and in order to give people the illusion of food fullness, such as projection technology, he used some shoddy and inferior food to look like delicious food to deceive the residents. But he forgot that the taste of the food does not change, and this is one of the few flaws he has. ”
"And what do you want to do?" Although this reason was very inferior, Li Shang still reluctantly believed them, after all, he had seen a lot of incredible things, and this didn't seem to be so incredible.
"We want to see what the real world looks like."
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's that simple."
"What about me?" Li Shang asked, "What do you want to do with me after you have achieved your goal?" ”
"Send back to your world, of course. This world is not where you should be. The arms dealer replied.
"Who am I in the other world?"
"You." The arms dealer laughed: "You used to be a very powerful mercenary, but for some reason you degenerated, became a drunkard, gambled, and then became a bandit. The debt you owe should be gambling debt. Alright, it's time for us to get down to business. ”
The arms dealer's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Don't blame me, kid." The arms dealer raised his pistol and aimed it at Xiong He's head: "If you want to blame yourself, you have such an ability." ”
"You'll have to blame yourself, too." At this moment, a schoolbag smashed into the arms dealer's head, smashing the arms dealer with a stumble. When he saw that it was Li Shang, the arms dealer was furious: "Li Shang, you are crazy, are you going to breach the contract?" ”
Li Shang picked up Xiong He and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I'm a bandit who is a bad gambler, and bandits don't keep their promises." Then he kicked the door open, took out a machine gun from his schoolbag, and hit all the guards who rushed up, and then lifted the seal on Xiong He's mouth on his shoulder, and said: "You heard it all clearly, let me tell you, I saw it when I just came in, there are more than a hundred and ten numbers around here, and you can save me if I am killed." ”
"Sensei nonsense, you run."
"Gotcha." As he spoke, Li Shang rushed to the next floor.
