Chapter 151
===================
In the years since the accident, Lian Yun has been depressed and aimless.
At the same time in another world, Lanna was experiencing the same suffering.
Until the two of them met.
Everything makes sense.
"Would it be better if we met earlier?" Lian Yun said softly.
"If it were earlier, I might not have believed in God so much." Lanna smiled slightly.
In fact, he doesn't believe it now.
The only person he believed in was Lian Yun.
If she is a god, he will trust her. If not, he will still follow her.
Lian Yun's eyes darkened for a moment.
She shouldn't think too much about it, but when Lanna said this, she couldn't help but think about it.
"...What if I'm not in this capacity?"
She didn't fall from the sky, she doesn't have these abilities...
"That won't be me either." Lanna's voice was as gentle as rain, dripping into her tightened heart and slowly spreading out the waves.
"It's not just you. I've thought about this too. If I hadn't persisted in training myself and read all the books in the room, would I still be worthy of standing by your side?"
And this is the conclusion he came to.
Everything in the past makes us who we are.
There are no ifs, no whatsoever. If things were even slightly different, I would not be who I am now.
And the person they are looking at now is the one who has truly experienced everything in the past.
Now, they are beside each other.
"That's enough."
That's enough...
Lian Yun repeated it silently in his mind, then raised his head to look at Lana and smiled: "Yes!"
The two of them sat quietly next to each other, looking at the crystal clear crystal ball, as if they could see each other's figures through it.
For a moment, Lian Yun felt like he was back in the past, back home, with his closest people.
This sudden feeling was not provoked by anything.
But the people around you.
They are able to understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Lian Yun had thought about the existence of such a person a long time ago, but gradually he became less naive.
She also didn't expect that she would develop such a tacit understanding with someone she had only been with for a few months.
It seems like it was born that way, and I was immediately lit up at first sight.
After a while, they heard the sound of the iron door being opened again.
It was the aunt who came with new bedding.
"Actually, there's no need. We can't stay here for long," Lanna said.
"How can this be? You've finally come back, you have to stay for a few days at least!" The old lady looked dissatisfied and threw the bedding into his hands. "Yunyun, you look so familiar to me the first time I saw you! If you stay for a few more days, I'll tell you about Lanna's childhood. It's really interesting..."
"Ahem, Auntie." Lanna interrupted quickly.
Lian Yun took off his hat and expressed his gratitude politely.
"Thank you, Auntie, but...we may not be able to stay for long. We have something important to do."
This time, the old lady didn't force it. Instead, her expression became serious: "...Are you guys being ambushed?"
Lian Yun was stunned and thought about it seriously.
If they were to be honest, they should be plotting against someone else.
Lian Yun said politely, "Not yet, but in order to avoid being ambushed, we plan to take the initiative."
The old lady waved her hand, her fighting spirit high: "Yunyun is right! We should plan ahead."
After saying this, she said with a sympathetic tone, "Such a good child has been forced into this state. Even rabbits bite when they are angry! If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I will definitely not refuse to help you if I can!"
Lian Yun was deeply moved, but he didn't think the old lady could help him in any way. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard Lanna's unusually serious voice: "Auntie, you've come at the right time. I really have something to ask you."
Then Lana told the old lady what Mogo had told them about the origin of the puppets. The old lady listened carefully to all the information and then shook her head.
I really don’t know.
Lian Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. We can look for it ourselves."
The old lady still shook her head and said seriously: "I mean, you can't find it."
Lian Yun: “?”
"Can I ask what you're looking for this for?" The old lady paused. "Never mind. It's your business as young people. I'll just ask for you."
"It's okay, Auntie." Lian Yun said quickly, "I will trust anyone Lanna Ken trusts."
"We mainly want to get these puppets away from this place and gain independent consciousness..."
After Lian Yun cited Bernie's example and mentioned that this would be of great help to them, the old lady also felt that this matter was of great importance.
"Puppets have consciousness... This is the first time I've heard of this. This matter must be kept secret and not let anyone else know."
If the controller and the major forces in the main city knew about this... it would probably be extremely difficult for them to take these puppets with them.
"Then may I ask why you think we can't find the Master Emissary?"
The old lady sighed and said, "Last month, the main city sent a group of high-ranking officials to the new city."
These "upper class figures" are not backbone figures like association presidents and noble elders, but wealthy families who control these puppets and own properties on several streets. They obtained the qualifications to move to the new city through financial transactions.
"I don't know what's so attractive about the new city, but lately there are always people trying their best to go there." The old lady didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.
Lian Yun thought about it. According to what Gai Lin had described, a new city like that would be a playground for the rich and powerful where they could have fun to death. They could do anything and there were no restrictions on anything.
It seems reasonable for them to yearn for it.
"But...if he's really not here, maybe it would be more convenient for us?" Lanna said suddenly.
Lian Yun looked at him and nodded in understanding.
"That's right."
Without further ado, they called down Alicia and Iko. According to the old lady, the amount of information held by a building on Third Street was much more than that of the eight streets outside, so there was no need for them to risk leaving Third Street.
So they followed the route planned by the old lady and several people went their separate ways to inquire about the information.
"If anyone questions you or wants to cause trouble, tell them to come to the restaurant in Building 3. There's a free meal waiting for them."
Several people looked at the old lady's smiling eyes and nodded ignorantly, always feeling that her words were not as simple as they seemed.
He was worried that Lana didn't separate from Lianyun.
On the way, while asking people about Lanna, he explained to Lianyun: "Auntie used to start her business by offering bounties."
That is, she would get rewarded for killing people based on wanted posters. Later, when she had earned enough money, the old lady wanted to settle down and get married, so she stayed on Third Street and opened a small restaurant with her husband.
The "free meal" was her way of repaying her lifesaver.
It means the next person, she invited him.
Lian Yun asked blankly, "Then, doesn't that mean Auntie will owe you a lot of favors?"
Lanna heard the voice and comforted him: "Don't worry about it. She is not so much offering a favor as giving a warning."
In fact, few people really dare to redeem this "free meal". Just hearing the name is enough to make people know everything.
Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Auntie is really nice to us."
Lana smiled and said, "It seems like she likes you very much."
Lian Yun recalled the old lady's warmth and couldn't help but think of her misunderstanding, and her ears felt hot.
"Auntie, you misunderstood...Isn't that good?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sneak a peek at Lanna's expression.
The latter suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Then when I get back, I will tell her clearly not to say that again. The adults will be unhappy."
"I'm not unhappy!" Lian Yun was afraid that he would really go back and say it, so he subconsciously raised his voice. Then he saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and suddenly realized that he had been deceived. He reached out and punched Lana.
"you!"
Lana received a mild punch, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden: "Then I won't say it, sir, please don't be angry."
Lian Yun narrowed his eyes. "It's okay. I'll explain it to Auntie in person when I get back, and ask her in detail about some of the 'interesting' things you experienced as a child..."
Lanna suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
After a busy afternoon, they returned to the restaurant in time for dinner. The old lady seemed to have guessed that they had just returned. She had just laid out a table with steaming hot food and waved to them enthusiastically, "Come and sit down."
After they sat down, the old lady also sat down: "How is it? Any news?"
Ico shook his head.
"The information network is indeed very dense, but it seems that the recent information about that person suddenly disappeared."
Lian Yun and Lana looked at each other.
That's the result they got.
This proves that the person controlling the puppet really went to the new city.
They didn't know that the puppet would develop independent consciousness, so they left without any preparation.
"In that case, we can just..." Lian Yun lowered her voice, and the others naturally understood what she meant.
But Alicia paused.
"Do you guys...remember Bernie?"
Lian Yun nodded: "Of course, it's because of him that we know that puppets will develop self-awareness if they live in the human world for too long."
Alicia clenched her handkerchief. "They'll definitely know the village has been taken care of. They'll count the puppets, and if the number is small, they'll definitely know."
"Will they make use of the remaining puppets?"
Lian Yun paused.
"From what Bernie and the remaining puppets have seen, they've left the village and haven't been restrained by their summoners. But you're right. If they have a backup plan, then these puppets can't be taken away so easily."
Alicia added: "And just because Bernie has consciousness doesn't mean all puppets have it."
There would be great hidden dangers if we rashly bring them back to the village.
A small amount is fine, but such a huge amount...
The good news is that if these puppets are unconscious, they don't need to take them away, and leaving them here will not be a help to the main city.
So they only have to consider the possibility that they are conscious.
Lian Yun gathered her thoughts. After a few breaths, she raised her head again, her brows revealing her intention: "If we want them to be useful, do we have to take them away?"
