Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"…"

Presumably this is the search content.

The sound of footsteps sounded, Wang Xiaoman calmly closed the "beep" browser, then opened the IE browser that comes with the system, and said quietly, "Is there any place you want to go?"

Yes, I have.

Too much.

US military base.

Russian military base.

French military base.

Fed underground vault.

Lockheed Martin's manufacturing facility.

Etc., etc.

want to travel.

I want to unite the people of the world.

If the map of the White Mist World can't be opened, there is nothing he can do. He has to go to a place in the real world where he will not cause trouble... I mean play "GTA6".

But this can't be said to Pharaoh.

Kant sighed: "Xiaoman, I'm a little tired these two days, and I don't want to go out and toss, because..."

At this moment, Old Wang also said: "That's right! I thought of it!"

She smiled at Kant: "If you don't want to go out and toss, go back to your hometown and take a rest? Take a breath of fresh air, my grandparents miss you too."

The girl stood up and patted Kant's shoulder: "When I called my grandmother last time, my grandmother said that the other old house of yours has also been cleaned up, why don't you go take a look? There are two houses. man."

To be honest, Kant has no mood or spare time to go to his hometown, every day is precious.

But at this moment, a thought flashed in his mind.

The hometown is in the countryside.

The countryside is far away from the city, and it is not as convenient as the city life. Relatively speaking, it is not as clear as the urban humanistic environment. This is very simple. Small cities and small villages and towns are small because of their small size, so they are human-friendly societies, and there is still a social rule of "relationships make things easier". However, this is not the case in big cities. The huge administrative system in turn forces reforms and pays more attention to transparency, efficiency and service.

Let's put it this way, doing things in a small place, looking for someone, looking for a relationship, jumping in a queue, that's the same thing, but if you dare to do this in a big city, if you encounter a bad temper, you will complain every minute, and you will complain every minute. , the leadership and the system will ask you to spit, the cost of selling favors is much higher than the risk, it's that simple.

In recent years, the administrative system of small cities has also become more standardized and transparent. The personal contacts and connections pursued by the fathers have gradually become less useful, at least at the level of ordinary people. Kant also understands this. , of course, also understand another thing.

That is, small places have not had time to reform.

Especially at the village level.

That is to say... things like village bullies still exist for the most part.

It's just the difference between convergence and non-convergence.

As soon as he thought of this, some thoughts moved in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you have a weapon in your body, you will kill yourself.

Kant was originally an ordinary young man, but he has experienced the most bizarre encounters in the world. From the island of Saint Inlie to the Viscounty of Huisha, from the long lonely life to the drastic changes in that night, Kant's concept and temperament have changed. A sea change has taken place.

On the edge of madness and collapse, he maintained the last trace of kindness, and obtained the best ending. When he returned to his hometown, no one could understand his heart and sentiment at that moment, and even his whole soul was sublimated—but that day The night of death, conspiracy, killing and revenge is still part of his life, forever engraved on his soul.

For example, if at the moment of returning to the earth, Kant's insight from death to life made him sanctified, then he should have both the compassion and decisiveness of a saint.

Compassion is that he will not be distorted by the blood and tyranny of that night. He is on earth and possesses extraordinary powers, and he will still maintain his reverence for life, act within the rules, maintain human nature, and will not act recklessly.

Resolutely, when he confronts those rule breakers and bad people...

- will shout really fragrant.

Now is the time to scream.

Compared with the underground power figures in a city, such as the black bosses and village tyrants near the villages and towns, the b-block will definitely be much lower, and the difficulty of the dungeon is not comparable. The important thing is that the information is easier to obtain.

The name of the former must be passed down by word of mouth among the neighbors, while the latter will be more low-key and mysterious, so go back to the village and inquire about the bullies in the surrounding villages and towns, and most of them will be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Kant nodded and said, "Okay."

He was going to go to the hardware store in the city or something to buy some tools and equipment today, but when he went to the countryside, it was easier to buy such things.

After all, the management and control of big cities and villages and towns is simply the difference between clouds and mud.

When Old Wang heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, as if relieved.

Then she showed a beautiful smile and nodded: "Then let's go! We have to buy something!"

After a little preparation, a sports car slowly drove out of the underground garage. Wang Xiaoman put on his sunglasses and glanced at Kant who was sitting in the co-pilot: "Don't you drive? I remember that you haven't driven much since your driver's license exam. The car is almost forgotten now, right? In this case, what should I do after buying a car?"

Kant opened the car window, blowing the wind, looking at the outside scene, and smiled: "I didn't forget the light, but I just don't want to drive it... It doesn't feel interesting."

There was a hint of desolation in his voice inadvertently.

Wang Xiaoman pursed his lips slightly, and immediately said, "Do you have any concerns?"

Kant made an "ah" sound.

"Idiot, it's obvious." Xiaoman said while steering the steering wheel, "If it weren't for you still looking the same as before, just a little bit more depressed—otherwise, I would suspect that you were taken away by some old monster. , did you really realize something between life and death?"

Kant sighed lightly: "It's a bit... ah, I don't know where to start."

"Then don't have to say it first, think slowly, and then tell me after you've thought about it."

Wang Xiaoman said: "I don't even want to tell it, it must be a very big event... Hey, the doctor asked me at the time, did you experience any major emotional setbacks, my first reaction was how is it possible? I've never had a girlfriend hahahaha..."

When she said this, she laughed to herself.

Kant shook his head helplessly.

Xiaoman was alert: "This performance... wow, you won't really be dating online, will you?"

Kant subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible!"

"I knew it."

"Humph…"

The sports car drove on the straight main road, got on the viaduct, and drove out of the city.

Along the way, they chatted, bickered, and talked about the recent big and small things.

Kant answered very calmly, his mood became more and more calm, and in this case, he was able to calm down.

It's just that Kant, who narrowed his eyes slightly and looked forward, didn't notice that his childhood sweethearts became more and more worried after this conversation.

Boys cannot understand girls.

Sometimes, a woman's mind is much more detailed than he imagined.

At least, after this conversation, Xiaoman's doubts became stronger and stronger.

She felt a huge... alienation from Kant.

It's all about what happened in the past two days, from gossip to news, from politics to entertainment, some just happened a few days ago, some just happened, some are very interesting to Kant - but Kant always gave her a kind of The feeling of lack of interest, as if he is far, far away from these things...

What exactly is going on?

After nearly two hours, we finally reached our destination.

You can see the endless fields as well as the nearby railways. Cars are driving on the avenues in the distance. The village is paved with neat roads. The old people are in groups, sitting together at the head of the village, killing time, under the trees. Some people play chess, and there are also several-year-old children running around with mobile phones.

Everything is the same as in the past, and it is also different from the past.

This is where Kant and Xiaoman lived when they were young.

Now things are wrong. Kant's grandparents have passed away, but his parents come back every year for the New Year, not only traditions, but also filial piety, because there are many, many memories here.

The sports car stopped slowly on the side of the village's avenue, attracting the eyes of the old people.

Even now that life is getting richer and more and more people are buying cars in the village, there are not many who can drive such a beautiful and expensive car.

Especially the driver is a very beautiful girl.

The old people immediately recognized the owner of the car, and before the other party got out of the car, they shouted with a smile, "The young couple is coming back to their hometown again!"

The Kang family and the Wang family are family friends, neighbors in the city, and neighbors in their hometown. Kant and Wang Xiaoman have been inseparable since childhood, whether they were in the city or going back to their hometown for the holidays, so they naturally became the object of ridicule by the villagers. Just kidding and asking when to get married and when to have kids.

The two were ignorant when they were young, but became a little embarrassed when they grew up. As for now, their cheeks are as thick as a city wall, they don't care at all, and they can even cooperate with each other's jokes.

After Xiaoman got out of the car, he responded with a smile and greeted one by one. Condera opened the thing in the trunk. At this moment, a big wolf dog sprang out from under the door of a family facing the street. Although it was tied to a rope, it was still very fierce. Here is a howl.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoman was so frightened, he let out a loud noise and stepped back subconsciously.

Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Kant glared at the big wolf dog.

In an instant, the head of the village where chickens and dogs heard each other was quiet, and immediately, the birds on the branches rushed to the sky like crazy, the tethered cow croaked uncomfortably, and the ferocious wolf dog immediately tucked its tail and purred away. When I got home, the screams of women were heard in several houses, and the chirping of hens could be heard incessantly.

The people at the head of the village looked around curiously, but no one connected all this with Kant.

But Xiaoman turned his head to look at Kant with a calm expression, and suddenly such absurd associations appeared in his heart.

Kant let go of her and turned back to the trunk to get something: "It's okay."

Xiaoman responded in a daze.

She quickly concealed her emotions.

"Let me get them!" She snatched all the gifts from Kant's hands, ran with them all the way, ran a few steps back, stuck her tongue out and made a face: "Let my grandparents see you come to the door empty-handed to eat The ignorant appearance of drinking!"

-This guy.

The two ran all the way to Xiaoman's hometown, where a spirited old man was pressing a water tank in front of the door, stretching his arms, carefully scrubbing, when he heard a voice, he looked up and said, "Come on!"

Xiaoman ran over with a smile: "Grandpa! What are you doing?"

"Brush this tank, algae grows."

Grandpa Wang hurriedly took all the things in his granddaughter's hands.

Kant smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa Wang."

"Ade is here too... Huh?"

Grandpa Wang glanced at Kant a few times, and said with surprise and joy, "You've calmed down a lot. University educates people."

He greeted, "Come in!"

For a while, the tank ignored the brushing and led the two children inside.

Xiaoman had already run in and shouted, "Grandma! Grandma!"

Kant was about to enter the door and found that the large water tank was in the way. This water tank is also an old object. When he was a child, he and Xiaoman often lay on the water tank and stared at the clear water in a daze. Clear and refreshing coolness.

At that time, a small impulse was to jump into the tank and take a dip.

It's a long way from now.

Childhood is full of mysterious, funny, heavy, behemoth.

Kant stretched out his right hand and held the rim of the cylinder.

Lao Wang rushed into the yard, but found that the always enthusiastic and smart big yellow dog did not bark excitedly, but hid in the nest and shivered, not daring to come out. She felt a sense of it and turned around to look.

I saw Kant carry the heavy water tank aside and put it away.

With one hand, it's like carrying a plastic flower pot.

The girl's pupils shrank suddenly, and then walked to the side as if nothing had happened.

At noon, a steaming meal was prepared at home. Xiaoman never said anything about the previous matter, so he didn't see it. The two chatted with the old man, talking about family affairs and school, as long as they could accompany and talk.

In the afternoon, the girl accompanied Kant back to the ancestral house and briefly cleaned the house.

In the evening, it was still a family banquet for the two juniors and two seniors. Kant chatted with Grandpa Wang, and talked about the news of the powerful bullies near the village and town.

Xiaoman still did not say anything.

Because Grandpa Wang didn't care too much about it.

Until nightfall, it was time to rest. Kant said goodbye and left. Grandpa Wang shouted, "Or go with Rhubarb on a lead. If you have a dog as company, you can rest assured."

Kant smiled and said, "No need."

Grandma Wang whispered: "I don't know when I can sleep here."

Xiaoman was deaf.

until late at night.

Xiaoman put on his clothes, came to the courtyard, walked up to the roof of the bungalow, and picked up his mobile phone.

"Yes, Dad, say hello to me... You don't care, can you? I've grown up and know what to do, don't tell Uncle Kang and the others, if you do, Kant and I will ignore you already."

"Yes, yes, I can't go back now. You ask Uncle Ye to help me go there and check the monitoring of the elevator in the community. Focus on whether Kant has gone out in the past four days."

After hanging up the phone, facing the cold night wind, Xiaoman slowly exhaled.

"Just this time, Kant, just this time..."

She murmured, "You scared me..."

The girl took her cell phone and started to make another call.

What she didn't know was that the childhood sweetheart she was thinking about had gone to another world at this moment.

Kant activated his ability and traveled to the world of white mist.

He wanted to take this opportunity to explore the community again, to organize and collect useful things, so as not to run to borrow them at that time... It would be too troublesome.

But when he opened his eyes, it was not a soft bed, not a familiar ceiling, not a bedroom he was familiar with, it was cold and a little strange here.

The hard bed board under her body, and the slightly strange bed that has not been used for a long time.

Here... is my hometown.

The home's bedroom.

"…Hold!"

Kant jumped up, ran to the gate, stretched out his hand, and came to the street. The huge range of activities almost shrouded the entire village, and there was a thick white fog.

This scene is exactly the same as the community,

"This map...why is it open again?"

He muttered to himself, and tried to make sense of the connection.

The neighborhood is over there, the hometown is over here.

You can't sleep, you can't do it outside the area, but you can do it this way.

There must be some kind of rule here.

Or rather, commonality.

Thinking of this, his expression became weird.

If there is anything in common...

The house on the other side of the community was transferred to his name by his father a few years ago, and the same is true for this old house. After all, there are two sets of houses in the hometown.

That is to say...

If you want to open a map...

"—I'm still buying a **** house?"
