Blackstone Code

Two worlds.

This is the only feeling Lucia has here.

It is difficult to see lush green plants in the modern world, but this place is completely surrounded by green.

This is a very famous place in the local area.

The reason why it is a "place" rather than a "classic" is that it is a completely private place.

A layer extending from the bottom of a skyscraper, thousands of square meters, is planted with green plants from the surrounding planets.

They are arranged together in a regular manner by gardeners in the way of treating art. At first glance, people will have a pleasing feeling and be deeply fascinated by it.

It is said that the cost of maintaining this place every year is enough to help tens of thousands of poor people solve their life problems.

But here, this money can only be used to maintain its status quo, and its role is to provide emotional value for a very small number of people.

The first time she stepped into here, the freshness of the air made Lucia feel trance. She didn't know if this was the taste of nature.

But there was a voice deep in her heart telling her that this was the taste of nature!

She took two more puffs greedily, and the mocking laughter of two girls beside her brought her back to her senses. From the shape of their mouths, she could tell that they were mocking her as a dog.

But she didn't care much.

The master told her that a person's inner strength does not come from how powerful a person is, or how terrible the power is, but from the fearlessness of the heart when facing danger, and the spirit of moving forward.

Her strong spirit and heart made her not afraid of any difficulties, and she naturally would not take this little mockery to heart.

She walked inside. Everyone was dressed either decently and solemnly, or exaggeratedly and gorgeously. These two obviously different styles existed here in a strange and harmonious way.

In a place where people could not see, Balz found her.

Through the communication device, he told the vice president who was entertaining people. The vice president did not change his expression, and the speed of his conversation with people did not change, but he knew about it.

After finishing the current conversation, he walked to Lilith, "Your friend is here, that... Lucia."

Lilith, who was chatting with a few girlfriends, suddenly turned around with a look of surprise. In the virtual world, she knew that Lucia was working hard to change the living environment of people in the slums, which was of course a kind of practice, as she said herself.

She thought Lucia might be absent, but she didn't expect that she really came, which made her very happy.

For her, Lucia is not only her good friend in the slums, but also the guide who led her out of the sea of ​​suffering, the first ray of sunshine that lit up her life, and has important significance for her life!

She walked quickly to Lucia, who looked at her a little absent-minded.

Lilith was wearing a wedding dress that looked very expensive at first glance, and she was so radiant that people couldn't associate her with the person who chewed stinky mushrooms in the slums.

The power of technology is really great. Her skin is as delicate as a teenage girl, and she has not aged at all!

"Congratulations, Lilith." She gave her blessings sincerely.

Lilith had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start. She seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, I have an idea that I need to discuss with you."

Looking at Lucia's puzzled eyes, she explained, "My daughter will be born in a few months, and I hope you can be her godmother."

Only those who have had power know what power means to people's lives.

She hopes that her daughter will be able to become at least like her in the future, and it would be even better if she can be stronger than her.

And all this has a key person, Lucia.

It seems that only Lucia has a way to enter the virtual world. In fact, Lilith and the others don't know why their strength has grown rapidly in a period of time.

But they know that Lucia must know.

For the future of her daughter, Lilith decided to let Lucia be her godmother.

"Godmother?" Lucia was a little confused, but soon became firm, "Then I am also about to become a mother?"

"Can I feel it?"

"Of course!"

Lucia's ear pressed against Lilith's belly. The bulging belly made her extra careful. She could feel that there was a little life growing vigorously inside.

New life always brings new touches, which Lucia has never seen in the slums.

The environment in the slums is harsh, almost everyone's body is not so healthy, and there is no gene correction equipment, most of the children born are deformed.

So no one in the slums will choose to have children. This is not as simple as taking risks, it is almost asking for trouble.

So the new life is particularly surprising to Lucia, especially this new life has some nominal relationship with herself.

At this time, everyone else also came over, Lucia stood up and looked at them. Everyone has changed greatly from the past, and she was a little emotional.

Just when she was about to say something, the vice president suddenly came over, holding a tray with various drinks on it.

He gave one of the cups to Lilith first, and then distributed drinks to the others. "Have a drink first. There is still some time before the wedding ceremony."

After he finished dividing the juice, he gave the tray to the waiter, "You must be Lucia. I have always heard Lilith talking about you. My name is... and I am a scientist by profession."

Lucia looked at Lilith's fiancé, her eyes suddenly glowing slightly. She looked at him from top to bottom and found nothing wrong.

But for some reason, she doesn't like him or the smell of him. Maybe it has something to do with his profession?

Lucia didn't know, so she just nodded coldly, "I hope you can live a happy life."

The vice president nodded vigorously, then held Lilith's hand, "Thank you for your blessing, we will definitely do it."

He said and let go of her hand, "There are a lot of guests today, so I'm going to receive them first."

After they separated, the vice president came to a secret room. Surprisingly, there was another vice president here.

The vice president who walked in from the outside stood directly in the corner, motionless. This was an intelligent biochemical man, which was controlled by the vice president's consciousness.

In a sense, it's just another VP, but not quite.

The vice president dialed Balz's phone number and said, "She has already drank the medicine. To be on the safe side, we will wait fifteen minutes before taking action."

Balz was a little curious after hearing this, "What about your wedding?"

"It's just a wedding, Balz. Compared to eternity, I can sacrifice anyone."

"including me?"

"including you."

"I thought we had been working together for more than a year and you would regard me as your friend a little bit. Your answer is very sad, Mr. Vice President."

The vice president didn't care at all, "I believe that if it comes time for you to make a choice, you will choose that one instead of me. We all know this."

He paused as he said, "It's time for me to go out. You should get ready."

Lucia came later, and people were almost here at this time. In order to solve some problems as soon as possible, the vice president did not wait.

It was a very warm wedding, but for some reason, Lucia, who was watching the ceremony in the audience, always felt that the vice president looked hypocritical.

Maybe this is the upper class society, everyone is trying to act like themselves in the eyes of others, rather than who they really are.

The wedding went quickly, with vows, exchange of tokens, and then the reception.

Seeing being surrounded by a large group of noble ladies, Lucia suddenly felt that she was incompatible with the world here.

She walked aside and stood next to the machine head, "Do you know why there are more and more demons in the city?"

"I saw a lot on the way here."

The machine head shook his head, "Not sure."

"Aren't you going to clean it up?"

"They just appear on the streets openly, and people become more and more dangerous."

A repetitive cartoon animation of smoke appeared in the electronic cigarette of the machine head. His brain was a little overloaded, almost.

"The Merchant Alliance signed an agreement with the devil. They are only allowed to hunt within the hunting area, and can only hunt a specified number in each cycle."

"Only when the number exceeds this number will the business alliance intervene."

Lucia was in disbelief, "Why do they want so many?"

The robot head scratched the antenna on its head, "It's very likely that they, these human intelligent creatures, are also coveting the power of those demons."

"After all, becoming stronger and having a longer life is always one of the things that intelligent beings desire most."

"If they had the chance to become demons, I believe they would."

Lucia shook her head slightly, "They made the stupidest decision."

After the wedding, Lucia was about to return to the slums. As soon as she reached the platform, she heard screams.

She couldn't remain indifferent, so she followed the screams and saw an old acquaintance, No. 9, deep in an alley.

There was an ordinary human being stepping under No. 9's feet. She looked frightened and looked injured.

Lucia's brows furrowed, "Are you actively attracting me here?"

No. 9 chuckled, "Guessed it right, but there's no reward!"

He exaggeratedly raised his foot backwards, his whole body tensed like a bow, and kicked the ordinary person on the ground, "Now that you are here, this waste is worthless!"

The innocent man was whipped and hit Lucia. Lucia reached out to pick it up, but the next second, a knife almost stabbed her.

The other part of the knife was held in the girl's hand.

Lucia looked at her confused, "Why?"

But the only answer she received was the next poke, stab, cut, and tease.

But there was no answer.
