Chapter 227 'Dew'
Li Yi’s plan was very simple. If the old captains of the Yugong ship were unreliable, he would ask Tu Kuangyi and He Qiongying to help.
If those veteran captains were reliable, there would be no need to resort to favors to recruit people.
However, the meeting would be three days later, so there was no rush. During these three days, he planned to continue searching for the fragments of the immortal divine nucleus.
As for tonight, since we are here, we might as well take a walk through Changsha City and take a look at the prosperity of the city on the human home planet.
…
Although it was late at night, the lights of the entire city were still dazzling.
After Li Yi parked the divine mecha at the mecha parking lot near Changsha City, he rented a flying car and drove it into the main road alone, joining the torrent of flying cars.
As a mecha master, he naturally has the qualifications to drive a flying car.
Changsha City is a major metropolis in the central area of the eastern continent of the Earth. Although it is not one of the top metropolises on Earth, its internal modern facilities are also rich enough.
The Mars where Li Yi is located is in base star mode. The base and the wilderness outside the base are basically two different worlds.
The Earth is a global urban model. Due to the highly sophisticated urban facilities, the population is concentrated in major urban areas. The population left behind in rural areas has been infinitely reduced, and most of them have become deserted villages.
At this moment, the flying car has entered the outer area of Changsha City in the torrent of flying cars.
The lights outside the window are bright at night.
In front of the main road, three skyscrapers standing across the river appeared in front of the driving interface. Each building floor used holographic projection to interpret large-scale animations or live-action advertisements, flashing huge human faces, and the hundred-meter mecha appeared in front of you.
It is worth mentioning that on the top floor of one of the skyscrapers, there are four big characters "Wuliang Pharmaceutical".
"Yaoshi Wan's family company? Interesting."
Li Yi had no friends in Changsha City. He just planned to take a quick look, find a place to have a drink and a bite to eat, relax, and then leave.
In parallel memories, there have been experiences on Earth, but this is the first time that we have been active on the mother planet in this era.
20 minutes later, the car stopped next to a green park and he got out in casual clothes.
After all, if they want to move around in the city, the mecha pilot's uniform is still too conspicuous and inappropriate.
There are quite a few young parents taking care of their children here, and the whole family is having fun, which is not bad.
Li Yi liked this atmosphere very much, so he simply found a recliner, sat down comfortably, and prepared to relax for the night.
Since entering the Yao Chi ship, he has been busy with intensive training every day, or doing various meditations, translations, and absorbing memory fragments. He has never had a chance to relax like this.
"Speaking of which, it's time to start trying to decipher the third experiment of the Gourd Man's experimental records."
"I was so focused on training these days that I forgot I had to keep translating."
He actually tried to continue translating, but he only did it in bits and pieces, and his efficiency was not very high.
It is rare to have time like the last time we went to the Moon Fortress without having to practice. If you want to completely decipher an experiment, it is best to do it in one go, which is the most efficient.
"But don't think about anything today. Just let your mind go. Don't even meditate. Relaxing is the most important thing."
And so, he slowly fell asleep.
This time, he deliberately chose not to enter the Dream Plain.
I really need to relax my mind.
As for safety, he is not afraid. A master like him who has reached perfection will naturally be sensitive to any suspicious movements in the outside world. This is equivalent to a skill that automatically triggers an alert.
Just like that, he didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly, he felt someone walking towards him, the footsteps gradually got louder, and he simply woke up.
I looked up and saw that it was already morning.
In front, a girl who looked like a high school girl looked over with curious eyes.
"Brother, are you an evolver?"
However, the moment Li Yi saw the appearance of this girl, his brain seemed to be struck by lightning and he suddenly became alert.
Why does this girl look so similar to 'Lu'?
These eyebrows, these facial features, this expression, except for the slightly different hairstyle and age, aren't they exactly the "Lu" in the portrait?
How could this be such a coincidence? Is it really a coincidence?
Li Yi's mind was full of thoughts, but he showed no strange expression on his face. He smiled and said:
"How do you know I'm an Evolver?"
The girl laughed and said:
"I felt a calling from somewhere, thinking that I might meet someone who would change my life here today, and then I came here and met you."
"I have also seen some evolvers in school, but none of them are as outstanding as my brother. They are as bright and unique as fireflies in the dark..."
Li Yi interrupted, "Wait a minute, are you reciting your lines?"
The girl shook her head and said, "No, I just subconsciously used the most familiar sentence in my mind to praise my brother. After all, my brother is so handsome, with a natural appearance and a jade-like character..."
Seeing that the girl was about to spout out a bunch of idioms, Li Yi interrupted again: "What's your name, where are your parents, don't you have to go to school today?"
The girl said, "Since you asked me this, I won't hide it. My name is Li Lulu, you can call me Lulu. As for where my parents are, they are not in Changsha now. I skipped classes and came here."
Li Yi said: "You mean, your home is not in Changsha City?"
Li Lulu said, "That's right, brother. My home is in Wuhan. This morning, I suddenly had a mysterious feeling and decided to come to Changsha. I didn't expect to meet someone like you who stands out from the crowd, handsome and heroic, as bright as the moon..."
"stop!"
Li Yi roughly understood that this Li Lulu might be the work of the gourd man.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Could it be that Li Lulu has the gift of a fateful god? Or is there something special hidden in her?
Li Yi said:
"Well, tell me, what do you want?"
Li Lulu said:
"I don't want anything. I just have a feeling that meeting you will change my life. So I hope you can take me away to where you are and not let me stay on Earth any longer."
"I felt that if I continued to stay on Earth, something bad might happen."
"After leaving Earth, I won't ask for much. I just want my brother to provide me with food."
Li Yi felt a little confused. Could it be that Lu really had something important hidden on her body?
"Where are your family members?"
"They are sick, addicted to online rituals, and have tried to stab me several times."
“Online ceremony?”
"It's a cult ritual conducted through a virtual reality network connection. Through these cult rituals, they think they will become stronger and smarter. But in fact, it's all their illusion. They don't become stronger, but more easily deceived."
Li Yi pondered and said, "Why would someone obsessed with the ritual want to use a knife on you?"
Li Lulu said: "I don't know. I heard that their superiors told them to abandon their families in order to embark on the true path of evolution. They are simply possessed. If they want to become evolvers, why don't they participate in the puzzle solving?"
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "What about calling the police? It looks like you've already tried calling the police?"
Li Lulu hummed and said:
"My brother is right. It's useless to call the police. Although they have become stupider, they seem to have become better at acting. It's strange that in front of the police who came to investigate, they pretended as if nothing had happened. They even said it was a prank of mine and showed the police my mental illness records."
"Psychosis?"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows.
Li Lulu said:
"Yes, but I know that I am not mentally ill. I just have some special gifts. I can sense the fate of others."
"Just like I can feel, brother's destiny is brilliant and radiant. However, within the radiance, there is a trace of black air that is eroding your radiance."
"They don't believe in my judgment, so take me to a mental hospital. They are so stupid. This is the age of evolutionists. How could there be someone who doesn't have some special gifts?"
"I think I am what the internet says: the whole nation's genetic evolution was intentionally arranged by the top decision makers, and I am just a small part of it."
Li Yi pondered and said, "You just said that my fate is corroded by black energy. What's going on?"
Li Lulu pondered, "Generally speaking, many people cannot see their destiny clearly. No, it can be said that many people do not have such a thing as destiny at all. They are too weak and their potential is too low, so perhaps there is no such thing as destiny."
"And a fate like your brother's is that he is destined to be a great person who influences countless people. Normally speaking, it is normal for someone like you to be tainted with some bad luck. After all, which person doesn't have some hardships and trials?"
Li Yi said: "You mean, my black energy is normal?"
Li Lulu said: "No, it's not normal either."
