After a lot of tips, Canning finally found the person Zhou Cheng wanted to see. Since the place they wanted to go to was on the other side of the Eternal City, they had to take an aircraft to go there.

After dozens of minutes of flight, the two arrived at the door of a classical Chinese manor. Walking into the courtyard, a clear water was dotted with delicate lotus flowers, carved beams and painted columns were built along the water, green bamboos and dwarf trees

Set off by various small stone bridges.

After walking a few steps, the melodious sound of piano music came to my face with the breeze. He went looking for it after hearing the sound of the piano, and saw two people in a pavilion by the small lake. Zhou Cheng could see their attire from a distance.

His face and appearance are somewhat different from those of people of this era.

The man was dressed in a long gown and was elegant. The woman was dressed in plain clothes and had a flowing skirt. The two of them were playing or singing in perfect harmony. As they got closer, Zhou Cheng was somewhat surprised to find that not only were the two of them more similar to people of his time in appearance,

And there are actually some traces of time on the face.

"Canning, long time no see." The man said elegantly.

"Hey, Wentang. You can still recognize me." Can Ning said with a smile.

The man named Wen Tang just smiled indifferently, looked at Zhou Cheng, and said:

"There are still awakened people in this era, it's rare."

Canning said:

"His name is Zhou Cheng, and he has just woken up. He is a little confused and confused just like we were back then. We have chatted a few times and we have hit it off. Now there is no mutual aid group like we had back then. As we are both awakened, I just want to show my kindness.

I told you on the phone that if I can help you, just help him."

After speaking, Can Ning turned around and left. Zhou Cheng, who stayed where he was, was a little at a loss. He carefully looked at the man in front of him, whose face and manner were different from those of other people of the same era.

"Are you surprised why I look older than you?" Wen Tang asked.

Zhou Cheng was slightly startled, carefully considering his words:

"You do look different from Canning."

"I entered freezing due to aging when I was 75 years old. At that time, I was already an old man. But I was lucky enough to catch up with the popularization of freezing technology. Although DNA repair at the molecular level can greatly delay aging, it does not

It cannot completely prevent the progression of aging.

Even if my DNA vitality has been repaired, it cannot be compared with people like you who have frozen in their prime. Now I have entered old age again."

There was a trace of sadness on Zhou Cheng's face. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Wen Tang smiled faintly:

"Haha, there is no need to be sad. In another 50 years, I will be frozen again. After the atomic industrial revolution is completed, the technology to repair DNA at the atomic level will allow me to return to my youth again.

In this era, I still haven't been able to fully integrate into it. Maybe it's because my decades of work in the Security Department have prevented me from letting go of my inner paranoia. I hope that in the next era, I can fully appreciate the charm of the era they say.

"Mr. Wentang, in the era you lived in, your work should have left a deep mark on you." Zhou Cheng carefully considered his words.

Wen Tang nodded slowly, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond with a complicated look in his eyes:

"In that era of great construction, food, injuries, working conditions, and living conditions still troubled us. In addition, men had to work hard to produce, and women had to work hard to give birth and nurture.

As a security officer, in addition to maintaining the order of human existence, I also need to be wary of other civilizations. At that time, the crystal wall and the geocentric pacemaker did not exist, and federal laws were not perfect. Our relationship with humanoids and Rain Man was more

It's much more tense now. In such a high-pressure environment, morality and order are on the verge of collapse.

People's emotions can't find an outlet, and their imaginary enemies are usually security officers who have no production tasks, which makes our work very bad in both the actual environment and the psychological environment. We often joke to ourselves that security officers are on high-voltage lines.

Creatures that survive on high-voltage power lines.”

"Then why did you choose a career like security officer?" Zhou Cheng asked curiously.

Wen Tang smiled lightly and said:

"My father and grandfather are both security officers. This may be the persistence engraved in my genes. Although my father died in the line of duty, I still participated in the recruitment of the Security Department and passed the selection, training and

Assessment.”

Zhou Cheng took out the notebook and pen he brought with him and said:

"Then can you tell me about a case or character that impressed you most in your career or during training. I want to accumulate some material and inspiration for my novel creation."

Zhou Cheng's idea was to take a look at the situation just after the end of the Doomsday War while Wen Tang was enjoying his talk, and see if he could find out any information about Cao Rui.

But the long-lasting and deep look Wen Tang gave him made him feel numb, as if his mind had been seen through. Just when Zhou Cheng swallowed his saliva and was about to explain something, Wen Tang opened his mouth and said

:

"My whole life I have been troubled by the cases I have studied or experienced, and it has taken me a lifetime to forget them. After three centuries, I can no longer recall the details of any of the cases.

I can't remember anyone's name either.

But I will never forget the sound of blood spurting from the carotid artery, the sound of bones being broken, the sound of fat burning in the flames, the sound of breathing after the throat is cut..."

Zhou Cheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. Even the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze sounded to him as breathtaking as sharpening a knife.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wentang, I shouldn't have brought back painful memories for you." Zhou Cheng said with a trembling voice.

Wen Tang, on the other hand, looked calm:

"It's okay. I've spent a lifetime trying to get them out of my mind. But actually accepting them may be the only way to gain peace."

Zhou Cheng closed the notebook in his hand. Although he was extremely disappointed, his expression remained calm:

"Then I won't disturb you."

p was about to turn around and leave when Wen Tang stopped him:

"Mr. Zhou Cheng, please wait."

Wen Tang took a box from the woman and handed it to Zhou Cheng:

"This is a data unit from my time. I haven't opened it for a long time. It should still be usable. It contains all the cases I have handled, as well as the ones I taught during the training of the Security Department, as well as my own

Cases collected.

I aspired to be a detective at the time, so I loved collecting case files. The things here may be the most complete records of crimes in the Eternal City. You can take it, I don’t need it anymore.”

Zhou Cheng was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly and reached out to take the box. At this time, Wen Tang retracted his hand slightly, a sharp look flashed past, but he quickly regained his calmness and kindness:

"Mr. Zhou Cheng, when you are confused about the times and things around you, or when you feel that someone is always watching you, don't miss the opportunity."

Zhou Cheng was shocked and his body couldn't help but tremble. He was almost certain that Wen Tang had seen through his trick.

"What a missed opportunity"

Wen Tang smiled faintly and handed the box into Zhou Cheng's hands:

"While you still have curiosity, this is your best chance to solve the confusion in your mind!"

Zhou Cheng held the data unit in his hand and walked out of the manor quickly as if he was escaping. When he reached the door, he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the data unit in his hand.
