Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Why doesn't he just want to listen to advice?"

Shakira felt a little uncomfortable. Raf and Shakira had a good relationship in the past. Shakira would often talk to Raf about many things, and the two would often fight and practice together.

"It's normal."

Jean said and Shakira smiled.

"Does this seem normal to you humans?"

Jean nodded and Tang Rao said.

"Of course it's normal, and it's the same for humans. If you have a shadow in your heart as a child, it may be a shadow that you can't get rid of for the rest of your life. This shadow will follow you for a lifetime, and you can never get rid of it."

Shakira laughed. Now the entire Steka clan is already negotiating. Everyone will gather directly together, but this can only be done temporarily.

"I have to leave with Jean and the others, and I'll leave this place to you Trier."

After Shakira finished speaking, Trier was a little surprised.

"Are you really going to go with Gene?"

Shakira nodded.

"I've made up my mind."

At this time, some Stekas came over with a bunch of things, and the people in Section 10 immediately looked at it happily, because this was the weapon used by the United States to deal with their Stekas.

There are also some mechanical products of the United States, which are simply treasures to them.

"Jean, please go back first. We still have some things to discuss. I will take care of everything in three days at most."

After Shakira finished speaking, Gene nodded, and the people in Section 10 asked the Stekas to put these United States weapons and equipment on the aircraft. Many of them looked damaged, but some were intact.

"This time it was really fruitful."

Gu Yi looked at a gun. It was about 20 centimeters long in his hand. Its shape was different from the guns in human society in the past. There was a somewhat heavy cylinder at the bottom. The overall shape of the gun was not bad. It was this cylinder that made Gu Yi feel Suspect.

"Let's take it apart slowly when we get back."

Witte said, and the people in Section 10 nodded excitedly, one of them said.

"As long as it is taken apart, you can see the technological level of the United States, from the accuracy of their weapons and the components inside the weapons."

After a while, a large amount of garbage was carried up. Most of the things were damaged. Gene stretched out his hand.

"We'll wait for you on the ship."

Shakira held Jean's hand.

"Of course, it will be over after I take care of things here."

After the aircraft took off, it flew towards the spacecraft at maximum speed.

Gene stared at these technological products from the United States with a smile on his face.

"Don't use this power anymore, do you hear me Jean?"

Tang Rao reminded, Jean nodded, and Werther said.

"It is indeed too dangerous. Although you can use this power, it is difficult to control it, and you have no way of knowing what will happen."

"ok, ok, I got it."

Gene smiled and lit a cigarette, and half an hour later, the aircraft returned to the spacecraft.

A large number of people in Section 10 became completely excited, and everyone went to sort out the garbage from the United States.

With the help of AI analysis, a pile of garbage was quickly sorted out. There were two complete weapons, one large and one small. The small one was basically a lightweight pistol, while the large one looked more like a It's a bazooka.

"This type of shoulder resistance is quite common, but what exactly is in this thing? The heaviest part of the gun body is this thing."

Tamai underestimated and tapped it with her finger. The test results came out quickly. The outer shell was a synthetic metal. There were only a few detectable substances in the metal, and there were three unknown new substances.

The entire Section 10 team was excited. The members of Section 10 who were a little tired from the previous trip also became energetic. They gathered in a research room of the spacecraft and began to prepare to take apart the small pistol.

The outer structure of this pistol easily found the disassembled parts. The pistol was disassembled in less than a few minutes. There are some optical components inside. Although it is not possible to determine their specific functions, as long as light and shadow materials are used, the simulation This principle will do.

The most critical thing is the black metal column under the butt. This is the key to this gun. The column is connected to the butt and cannot be disassembled directly. If it is disassembled violently, the gun will be destroyed.

"Is it possible that this was sealed with the butt when it was produced? It cannot be opened."

Tang Rao underestimated, and everyone in Section 10 was still having a heated discussion. Then everyone took apart the large weapon and found the corresponding black metal cylinder from the garbage dump, but the metal shell of the cylinder had been damaged. Quite serious.

Moreover, a hole was opened in this columnar body, and some residues were obtained inside, and some substances were unknown.

Gene looked at everyone with happy faces and turned around to leave. He just wanted to have a drink, something to eat, and a cigarette.

It's not because of hunger, it's just Jean's habit after every battle.

Jean returned to the control room alone. He was still thinking about what Rafe said. He saw Jean when he jumped through space.

This matter is a bit strange to Jean, but it is impossible to judge for the time being. Rafa should not tell lies.

"Sure enough, we still know too little about this world."

Gene picked up the wine and took a sip, then took out the dried meat and started eating it.

Jean was looking forward to the journey to the United States more and more. After all, he was able to see what the most powerful country in the past looked like now. Jean felt excited just thinking about it.

"Sure enough, novelty is what human beings need most."

Jean joked with a smile. He had been in Brilliant City for so many years, and Jean was familiar with the streets and alleys. His footprints were all over the 120 districts.

Jean began to imagine what kind of country the United States was. After all, Shakira said that that country was highly developed.

Even more than two hundred years ago, Gene had never been to that country because he hated the country that constantly caused disputes in the world. They wanted to control all top-level technologies, so they hindered other countries. normal development.

It suppresses some powerful countries through economic means, and takes military actions against some small countries to make them surrender.

This kind of unreasonable behavior is no different from that of barbarians. Gene took a big sip, and he felt nostalgic for the past.

"I really didn't have any big worries before. The only worry was probably what to eat next. Maybe God punished me for doing nothing in the past, so now I am burdened with chores and never have anything to finish."

“What can’t be done?”

Tang Rao came in, and so did Gu Yi and Weite, because it was already 1 o'clock in the morning and everyone had rested.

"It's nothing, I just think that I have done a lot of things in recent years, but these things will cause other problems. I work seriously every day, no matter what, there are always problems that can't be solved, and they keep popping up. If I continue to stay In Bright City, I’m afraid I’ll have to do these things honestly for the rest of my life.”

Gu Yi laughed.

"We have already advised you, just enjoy life comfortably."

Tang Rao took the wine and took a big sip, wiped his mouth and smiled.

"That's right, you only know how to work and work. We have advised you so many times."

Werther took the bottle, took a sip and said.

"Perhaps the endless problems have a lot to do with you. Maybe if you leave, that girl can solve the problems."

As soon as these words came out, Gene's face showed helplessness, Gu Yi glanced at Werther, and he laughed.

"I'm kidding Gene, don't pay attention."

Tang Rao was also waiting for Werther, but Gene laughed easily at this time.

"Indeed, it seems that many problems occurred because of my relationship. Before we left, that girl had already started to solve the problem."

Looking at Jean who was a little depressed, Tang Rao said hurriedly.

"But many problems have been solved because of your relationship."

Gene shook his head this time. He picked up the wine and took a long drink.

"Every decision I make may cause more problems to arise. Everything is for the city. I am afraid of seeing the city collapse, so when there are fluctuations, I will always stop it, maintain order, and let the city collapse." It is safest for the city to maintain the status quo."

"It's totally fine to do this."

Tang Rao said, Gene shook his head.

"Anyway, a lot of things happened because of me."

"It's not the right time."

After Witte finished speaking, Gu Yi nodded.

"Indeed, some things can't be solved immediately if you want to solve them. After that girl let it go, there were many fluctuations, but the city was completely fine. So I think it may be that the time is not right. ."

Tang Rao picked up a piece of dried meat and started chewing it.

"Stop talking about the city. It's too heavy. Let's change the topic. Jean, do you think the United States would be willing to cooperate with us if they could establish diplomatic relations with us?"

Jean shook his head. He couldn't say for sure about this kind of thing, because the probability that the United States still exists is the same as before.

"That country has been squeezing the entire world with barbaric invasion methods and labeling methods since a long time ago. The world has become like this because of the gathering of capital from that country."

Tang Rao smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I have been a spy for them many times before. I am aware of the dirty things they did. I think they should remain the same."

The four of them chatted for a while, and Gu Yi felt a little uneasy.

"If you are passing by, why don't you go to the lighthouse to confirm? Anyway, before we became like this, we clearly remembered our personal information and DNA status. If we go to confirm, we will know whether the tower keeper is your descendant. "

Gu Yi hummed.

Ever since listening to Tasia's story, Gu Yi felt restless.

"But it's really long. It takes three days."

Tang Rao couldn't wait any longer, and soon only Gene was left in the control room.

Gene was still thinking about what Rafe had said. There were some things that Gene really wanted to ask Ellie face to face, but Ellie obviously didn't tell them most of the things.

Gene thought about this, why didn't Ally say anything? Maybe Ally really saw the future, so Ally didn't say anything.

It was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, and Gene was still drinking. Although he was drunk, no matter how much he drank, Gene would not get drunk.

At this time someone came in, it was Tasia.

"Can't sleep?"

Tasia still looks very weak, and there is a medical bracelet hanging on her arm, which can monitor her physical condition at all times.

"Mr. Jean, I still can't get used to it. I slept for so long, and when I opened my eyes, no one was there."

Tasia lowered her head, and Gene comforted her by handing her a piece of dried meat, and Tasia smiled and ate it.

"Mr. Jean, it would be great if you didn't lose your memory."

Gene scratched his head and laughed.

"I can't help it. The only thing I remember is your name and the snow-capped mountains that day."

Tasia hummed.

"When the monster finally came out of the ground, I really despaired of Mr. Jean, because everyone was constantly being eaten by the monster, and the city fell into chaos. I originally thought I could escape."

Jean laughed helplessly. The monster that emerged from the ground should be the product of the Devourer. Jean's memory loss must be related to that monster.

"By the way, Tasia, you will follow Tang Rao back to Brilliant City when it's almost time."

Tasia hesitated.

"I want to follow you to Mr. Jean."

"If you follow me, you will miss a lot of things."

Gene asked, Tasia a little confused.

"How old do you remember you being?"

Tasia said.

"Just 16."

Gene said with a smile.

"The time you stopped has just begun, Tasia, you have to enrich your life."

Tasia laughed. She also had some expectations. After all, Gene had said something about Brilliant City, Tasia asked.

"So how is Brilliant City doing now?"

Tasia didn't look at the video data, and Jean didn't intend to let her look at it. After all, it was worth going if she had something to look forward to.

"The Jamie you know lives well there. You should go to the city to enjoy the sunshine and happiness and go to school."

Tasia hummed. Tasia didn't have much knowledge. The only knowledge she knew was what Jean taught her.

"What about you, Mr. Jean?"

Tasia asked.

Gene scratched his head and took a sip of wine.

"I'm an adult now. I should enjoy my life before I'm a minor."

Tasia laughed.

"I always feel that Mr. Jean, you don't have any good memories of your youth, because you always give me a very sad feeling."

Gene laughed.

"It's true that my childhood was very hard. It was probably hell for me. Go get some rest, Tasia, you need some rest."

After Tasia left, hesitation appeared on Gene's face.

Gene smiled and took out the new wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Maybe it's just like what she said. I have no youth in my life, let alone enjoyment."

When Gene looked back on the past, there was no day that was easy. Even after Li Ji adopted Gene, apart from work every day he studied. There was not a single day that Gene could stop, relax and enjoy.
