To Four Thousand Years Later

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gabriel walked out of the "Old Jinmen" coffee shop alone.

And Abaddon didn't come out with her. Realizing that the terrifying Moon King was not here, the gazes that had deliberately avoided Gabriel in the streets and alleys began to cast on her one after another. Gabriel immediately felt the attention of those eyes.

awe. scorching hot. friendly.

dark. creamy. hatred.

During that leap, Gabriel seemed to be in a strong hallucination as soon as he stepped out of the cafe.

It was also the first time that she realized personally that people can feel each other's mind even without the forehead gemstone connecting the soul to communicate the will of both parties. But Gabriel didn't respond to these gazes with different thoughts.

She just walked straight in a certain direction and walked two streets before stopping at the corner of the street.

She sighed softly and pulled out a cigarette from her waist. In this era, traditional tobacco has completely disappeared. Not because of its identity, but because of the advent of new types of tobacco, which completely knocked out the old tobacco from the market.

It's also very simple to make...the key difference is the ingredients.

The name of this new type of cigarette is commonly known as "powder smoke" because the smoke after it is lit is pink. The main reason for its competitiveness is that it has added an important raw material, that is, the diluted "sacred blood".

To put it more bluntly, human ashes were added to it. This allows it to temporarily increase and activate spiritual energy after absorbing it, and it can permanently increase a little spiritual energy after long-term use. And the sense of power that people feel when the psionic energy is activated will produce the same strong pleasure.

Powder cigarettes are not paper cigarettes. Its outer shell is extremely light metal, and its inside is red blood-like e-liquid. In principle, it is closer to electronic cigarettes, so any shape can exist...whether it is a thick disc, a small teapot, or a more classical cigarette or pipe, it does not affect its inner nature. Just like its scientific name. The official name of the powder smoke is "Ai Zhe Red Stone Atomizer", a name that sounds very compelling. And its other selling point is... because it directly acts on psionic energy, even strangers can enjoy the smell of cigarettes.

"Fair..." Gabriel breathed out the pink mist with the color of cherry blossoms, and murmured in a slightly hoarse voice after inhaling the smoke. Full, so I couldn't help coughing.

"Miss, do you need help?"

A somewhat rough voice came. Gabriel's heart tightened slightly, and he inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that her vision had changed. The field of vision was quickly raised, and then fell down again quickly, locked on the person who called me before.

Bandu G156, male, 185 years of survival time, 14 body replacements, 35 parts replacements, 7 criminal records...

He had been waiting nearby, and followed him from a distance after he left the "Old Jinmen" coffee shop. His pace suddenly accelerated when he saw himself stopped here. A steady stream of knowledge surged from Gabriel's heart. . It was as if she had watched Pandu be born, grow up, transfer her own memories, become an "iron man", and then spend the long one hundred and forty years. Even the things he had done not long ago, things that Gabriel had no way of discovering and remembering, flooded into her consciousness. She didn't memorize a word of this knowledge at all, and she didn't even have the process of memorizing it—as if her brain judged that she was very familiar with these things, so she didn't repeat the memory at all, and Gabriel quickly reacted.

It was the information passed to her by the firstborn daughter who was connected to her spirit.

The influx of information before was just a moment. Gabriel just looked back indifferently at the stout man with a red face and a huge mechanical left arm, and said calmly: "Thank you, I just took a taxi." Just as Gabriel was speaking, because she was detected Standing in the waiting space, a flat public air speedboat came quickly and stopped in front of her without a sound.

Before Gabriel got on the train, she felt that her shoulders were heavy and her steps were interrupted. A big hand made of steel rested on her shoulder. Bandu G156 asked urgently: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, just one sentence!"

"That's...that, what's your name now?"

name? Is this a flirt? Gabriel hesitated. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should answer or whether her answer would violate any taboos.

She briefly aimed these things at Gabriel without hesitation. She couldn't get on the bus. The front of the car turned bright red and issued a warning: "Please board within 30 seconds, don't hinder others Waiting for the car. Any behavior that hinders the normal order of operation is considered a crime of disturbing urban law and order. The public air speedboat G4542 will have the right to carry out a limited counterattack, and the remaining time is ten seconds. Nine, eight,..."

"No, no, get in the car first!" Ban Du's voice became very tense for a moment, and he directly pushed Gabriel forward with great force. It pushed Gabriel directly into the car, and she staggered to stand in front of the seat.

The red light instantly turned green, and the stern tone became gentler: "Please sit still."

"So what's your name!"

Ban Du's persistent voice sounded simultaneously. He raised his voice to prevent his voice from being drowned out.

Intuitively... there seems to be no malicious intent.

Gabriel hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Gabriel."

"The name I use now is Gabriel."

After waiting for the answer, the man seemed to be relieved, and took two staggering steps back, as if his whole body had become a little weak.

Gabriel sensed something from his appearance.

She turned her head in some doubts, and raised her voice to ask: "You ask this..." Before she could finish speaking, the airship, shaped like a bat and racing car, rose rapidly upwards like an elevator and kept going up. It took at least three hundred meters to stabilize again.

"The optimal aerial level has been selected for you."

"Please put your hand on the consciousness reader, or dictate your destination."

Mind reader.

But I don't know where to go. Gabriel hesitated slightly as he looked at the raised panel. She thought it would be a little uncomfortable to tell her "just put yourself back where you were" at this time... Abaddon just told her that if she found someone following her, she could go to this place to take a taxi, and the car would protect her safety.

At that time, Bailie still didn't understand why, and it wasn't until now that he suddenly realized it.

However, she should have gone to investigate. Gabriel didn't...she was sent to the moon to be a detective.

"Do you know the gathering place of the hermits?" She tried to ask deeply.

"Unknown destination."

The cold female voice replied without hesitation. Gabriel thought about it for a while, and changed his method: "Do you know where is the most chaotic place nearby, where the probability of criminals appearing is the highest, and those with criminal records are most active?"

"I have navigated you to No. 56 Eliog Avenue, O'Henry's Bar." The cold female voice still responded without hesitation: "According to the intelligent recognition, what you may need is: 'self-defense weapon'. The one in front of your left hand You can borrow a Raytheon A11 high-current restraint device from the cupboard, the battery is fully charged, please take it yourself.”

"Based on your current credit level. Please place it back on any public air speedboat within 168 hours. It is the first time you have used your credit to rent a weapon this month. The rental fee for this time is: free for a limited time."

"Oh, great service."

Gabriel couldn't help sighing, and conveniently received the cool-looking gun in his hand. Free guns, don't want them for nothing.
