"Although it was forced here by an advertisement from my own race, the function is surprisingly reliable. It can be locked directly without even using a clue or information characteristics of the target. It just requires a little more energy when loading. However, It doesn’t matter, this energy is mine for nothing anyway…”
"Huh? What did you say?" Gafan asked confused, but the voice behind him was too soft and I couldn't hear him clearly.
"Ahem, it's nothing. Well, since we can confirm the other party's location, then the other party must still be alive. In this case, without further delay, let's set off quickly. I can't wait to leave this terrible and dangerous world."
Gafan raised his eyebrows, feeling that this guy seemed to be changing the subject, but he didn't pay attention and silently asked a question.
"Well, let me ask first, how far is the distance between us and each other?"
"Here, wait a moment, I'll also add the approximate distance estimation information column."
At this time, the Wenchaogong system had not realized the seriousness of the problem, but happily tried to adjust the [Person Search] panel again, and then after a while...
Under the expression of despair on Gafan's face, which I knew, and the confused and stunned gaze of the system.
The panel shows a value that allows one person and one system to be silent at the same time.
"...Just in case, let me ask another question." Gafan asked, trying to save him, "Do you have any suitable transportation there?"
What Gafan didn't expect was that the Wenzhaogong system, which was half down and half NetEase Cloud, actually replied subconsciously.
"have."
Gafan's eyes widened in surprise, and he even had the illusion that he was lucky. Then the next moment, a roll of drawings appeared in his hands out of thin air.
Subconsciously raising his hand to catch it, Gafan was stunned for a moment. Gafan looked down in confusion, thought for a moment, and then tried to pull out part of the roll paper. He found that it was densely covered with some mechanical drawings and lines. Lines, a bunch of formulas that are not too advanced, and a familiar line of text in the lower right corner.
[General diagram of steam engine principle structure]
Gafan: "..."
"Here, I made a drawing for a vehicle. I accidentally copied it while transporting a certain cat." The system blankly made a correction.
"..."
Gafan swore that if this thing had an entity and was right in front of him right now.
One by one and one system at a time, they were probably like two groundhogs, starting to fight each other.
Because this is too cheating!
With a look of despair, Gafan started thinking about the suicide note again...
Hey, wait.
The eyes that had begun to transform into dead fish eyes were suddenly startled.
He suddenly discovered something, and that was that the direction pointed by the searching arrow just now seemed to be the direction from which the energy ripples that spanned the sky and collapsed the mountain peaks came from before, right?
And the person who also got lost and traveled through time showed that he was not dead. So...
A little hope ignited in Gafan's heart.
But before he could call his embarrassing system, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Boom, boom."
Then the wooden door, which had no locking function at all, was opened directly, revealing a gap, and a small head poked out.
It was a little girl with purple hair. She looked a little timid, but people surprisingly felt the strength and maturity of this child.
A pair of lavender eyes first glanced at the roll of drawings, and then looked at Gafan who was sitting on the floor.
The little girl said calmly: "I'm here to collect the plates."
"Huh? Oh, thank you for your hard work."
Gafan quickly stood up from the ground, carried the wooden bowl and spoon aside to the door, looked down at the little girl who shrank slightly behind the door, and said, "But I'll take it myself. Well, I always feel a little weird asking children to help.”
"It's up to you." The little girl looked at him a little warily. The way she hid behind the door and raised her head looked like a kitten living alone in the wild, but it was obviously not yet weaned.
Wow, is he being treated as a bad guy?
Gafan scratched his cheek in embarrassment, thought for a moment, and then as if something suddenly occurred to him, he took out two toffees from his pocket.
This was a snack he originally planned to prepare for the first class on the first day of school. After all, for him, if he didn't sneak something to eat in class, he always felt like something was wrong, although he didn't have to go to class now. .
But I didn't expect that it would come in handy.
So, under the little girl's vigilant gaze, Gafan squatted down, keeping eye level with the other person, and then handed over the two toffee in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Want to eat?"
The little girl lowered her head and glanced at the two suspicious objects. After she couldn't smell anything that belonged to food, she shook her head silently and whispered in a cold tone: "No need."
Well, he seems to be really considered a bad guy.
Gafan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took the initiative to peel off the wrapper of one of the toffee in front of the other party, and threw it into his mouth, with a delicious expression on his face.
"Well, it tastes really good. I've never gotten tired of eating toffee since I was a kid."
Chewing hard, the faint scent of milk wafted in the narrow room. Gafan kept handing out the candy, still with a kind smile on his face, and coaxed: "Are you really not going to eat it? It's delicious. You have to try everything.”
But this time after smelling the fragrance of milk, which was different from breast milk and had never been smelled before, the little girl's face, which had been deliberately cold, showed hesitation, and she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Under Gafan's gaze, she hid behind the door and struggled for a long time. She stretched out her hand several times and then took it back, just like a curious and wary kitten who only sees new things.
But in the end, the little girl stretched out her little hand and took the toffee.
"Thanks."
After thanking her in a voice that was almost inaudible, the little girl silently followed Gafan's previous behavior, peeled off the package, looked at the white toffee inside, hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed it in her mouth. .
Then, Gafan saw the child's expression change.
The beautiful lavender eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise and some happiness that only delicious food can bring. The original coldness on the soft little face also disappeared, and instead showed a little unconscious smile.
Gafan couldn't describe it specifically, but he felt that the way the child smiled was much cuter than the way he just deliberately kept his cold face and guarded his face.
"As long as you like it."
Gafan smiled, slowly stood up from his crouching position, opened the covered door, and took out a bunch of toffee from his pocket towards the little girl who subconsciously hid behind her.
"I gave it all to you."
Looking at the other person's child's expression as if he had met Santa Claus, he seemed a little dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. The little one just stood there motionless. Gafan was a little amused, and because he was forced The anguish of coming into this world and the hopelessness of life have all faded away a little.
Creatures like children can sometimes heal people.
After stuffing the pile of toffee into the other person's arms, Gafan smiled and touched the other person's little head and asked.
"Child, what is your name?"
The little girl, who was still a little dazed looking down at the pile of toffee in her arms, replied subconsciously.
"Nonna."
"Nonna, well, it's such a good name." Gafan praised with a smile, although he himself didn't know what was so good about this name.
But why does this name sound familiar?
Gafan, who was a little confused, lowered his head and thought, and then noticed the other person's purple hair again. This color seemed to have been seen in the drama before.
"..."
Gafan silently withdrew his overly bold hand.
This is a bit of a coincidence.
Chapter 8: The ladder of human progress, boiling water (Part 1)
"Does candy taste good?"
Walking in the narrow but unexpectedly flat passage, Gafan held a wooden bowl and spoon in his hand, looking down at Nonna who was following him and asked.
"Yeah." Nonna, who had toffee in her mouth and didn't chew it, nodded lightly. At this time, she no longer wanted to hide from Gafan.
"That's good."
Walking out of the passage, we came to an open underground space, where people wearing linen clothes and hoods were busy doing their own things.
Either washing clothes, washing brown rice with water, or carrying something. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone was doing what they could as a matter of course. Gafan also saw a man with a broken leg. The middle-aged man on crutches also held a wooden bucket in his hand.
"Oh? Isn't this Nonna? Did you have a good lunch?"
The middle-aged man passed by and noticed this place, and said hello to Nonna with a faint smile.
"Yeah, I've eaten." Nonna nodded.
This plain look also made the middle-aged man's smile look a little helpless. After all, this child used to be so lively and loved to laugh, but since the death of his father Ywang, he has become like this and no longer gets close to anyone. Looks like.
Probably because she was afraid of being hurt again, Croni was the only one who would not be repelled by her now.
After sighing, the middle-aged man noticed Gafan standing next to Nonna.
"Hey, isn't this the new guy?" The middle-aged man smiled, "Did your lunch taste good?"
Gafan, who originally thought he had nothing to do, was stunned for a moment, then raised the completely empty wooden bowl in his hand, shook it, and said, "I've finished eating. Thank you for the treat."
"That's good. Welcome here. Remember to continue to work hard to live in the future."
Looking at the middle-aged man he had never met before, after making a joke that he didn't know if it was a joke or not, Gafan scratched his cheek and felt that the hearts of people here are really very strong. .
But this is only natural. Gafan looked up again and looked at the ridiculously big old tree in the center of this underground space. Its thick trunk was covered with crystal pendants, and it was constantly exuding a weak and gentle fragrance. bright.
Gafan, who has read the original work, knows that each of these pendants represents a tribute to a deceased person.
"..."
After standing like this for a while, Gafan finally glanced at the miniature terraces and busy people in the pool under the old tree, then turned to Nonna and said, "Let's keep walking."
"Yeah." Nonna nodded, stuffed a toffee into her mouth, and pointed in the direction, "Let's go here next."
At this time, Nonna was being asked by Gafan, who wanted to return the empty bowl but didn't know the way, to help lead the way.
In this regard, Nonna, who originally didn't want to stay with strangers, was about to refuse, but she looked down at the pile of toffee in her arms. She was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
There is no way, he gave too much.
"I'm sorry to bother you. After all, I just came here and I really don't know the way."
Gafan apologized and at the same time found some topics to chat with the child.
"No trouble." Nonna shook her head, then looked down at the pile of toffee in her arms. After hesitating, she took another one, unwrapped it and stuffed it into her little mouth, and the rest was Put it all in your pocket.
She had to eat sparingly, after all, it would be gone after she finished eating.
"Also, thank you for the toffee."
Gafan was a little surprised to be thanked again. Although she looked quite cold, this little girl was indeed a good child.
At this time, the system, which had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.
"Host, I suddenly discovered a problem."
"What, what's the problem?"
Frightened by the cold voice, Ga Fan replied angrily in his heart.
"According to the records of carbon-based organisms in the database, are you raising a lolita?" The system, which did not understand people's minds, said something very bluntly.
"...The information in your database is all a mess."
Gafan staggered again when he was asked, his eyes twitched, and he retorted without hesitation in his heart. What kind of mess is in the mind of this system brother!
"I just gave the kid a handful of candies. Rather than that, I also have a question to ask you."
"Are you changing the subject?"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, weak carbon-based organisms." The system responded naturally.
"...Forget it, skip this topic."
Under Nonna's strange gaze, Gafan, who was walking next to her, rubbed his temples with a headache, and asked seriously in his heart: "Your newly installed person-finding function in the system can display the target's specific abilities or Appearance?"
"This? It probably won't work." The embarrassing system replied uncertainly, "Wait, let me confirm, um - yes, it really won't work."
"Well, that would be troublesome."
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just found out that the person I was involved in traveling through time together must be unexpectedly strong. System, do you still remember the energy ripple we saw cutting off the mountain before?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" The system's voice sounded a little silly.
