Chapter 674 378. Bonfire (4k)

"Come with me."

The blacksmith pulled N4 to the side and briefly explained the matter.

"... Well, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing."

N4 crossed his arms and was slightly surprised by the blacksmith's words:

"If it is really according to what you said. Then someone in your family should have come to the Dragon Satellite through the portal a long time ago - is there anyone missing in your family?"

"I... Li Aozi's father."

The blacksmith recalled and said:

"Li Mingji, male, 46 years old when he disappeared, of medium build, had been working in a fertilizer factory. Later, the factory laid off employees, so he had to borrow a training loan and went to work in the south - and then lost contact. The time of disappearance was exactly two years before I went to Mingji Human Dao."

"Li Mingji... this name is really common."

N4 shrugged.

"Isn't your own company also called Mingji Heavy Industry?"

"It's different in nature. This is to integrate into the frost plating market."

N4 held his chin and said:

"The time of disappearance and the time of portal activation basically coincide, it's unlikely to be a coincidence-is there anything special about your father?"

"No, never."

The blacksmith shook his head:

"He is a very ordinary worker, looks very ordinary, speaks dullly, doesn't like to socialize, and his work is just at the level of an ordinary worker."

"Then why are you so beautiful?"

"...It seems so."

When N4 said this, the blacksmith suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When Li Aozi was still a mortal, he had a high [Charm] of 13 at the beginning.

What does this mean?

A pampered little beauty like Yawen has to rely on makeup and careful dressing to maintain her body, avoid labor, and dress very fashionably to reach 11 points.

Without any props and cosmetics, Li Aozi, who is completely bare-faced, has a full 13 points!

Just looking at her appearance, she can surpass 99% of ordinary people.

As long as he could speak a little and find the right way, Li Aozi didn't need to work at all, and he could live a very comfortable life by relying on his looks.

According to Li Aozi's recollection, although his grandfather was a high-ranking official in Shuangdu, his grandmother was just an ordinary person, and his father's generation were all farmers with rough looks, and they were not good-looking at all.

But in Li Aozi's generation, the eldest sister was beautiful and was surrounded by boys since childhood, and the younger sister was spoiled by boys and girls since childhood. In the capital of Shuangdu, she dropped out of high school before finishing high school and went to hang out with a bunch of spirited girls. The partners around her were basically eager to give her money and food.

Li Aozi was just unlucky. His external features were too obvious, his skin was pale, and he was discriminated against when looking for a job, but his facial features were the best among the three children.

Such obvious changes in appearance made his mother always think that their generation had a genetic mutation.

But now think about it...

"If Li Mingji concealed his appearance, then you are so beautiful when you were born, which explains it."

N4 said, teasing:

"I thought you were really a hero among the common people, but I didn't expect that you would be a hero son. It seems that no one can escape the theory of bloodline."

The blacksmith was silent for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him, and asked:

"Is it possible that the portal was not placed by Li Mingji?"

"Then you mean..."

"The Void," the blacksmith guessed: "The Void has been planning to infiltrate everywhere and invade the Abyss from the beginning. The next destination is very likely to be the Blue Star."

This statement made N4 think for a moment.

"I can only say that it's possible."

N4 did not deny it immediately:

"Whether the Void is the culprit, it is also possible that your father "Li Mingji" is the one chosen by the Void. However, the specific result is still uncertain. Just like before the Entropy King, the four countries thought that the sky curtain that swept the world was the result of the abuse of technology by the old people."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't know him well."

The blacksmith said indifferently.

This is not to sever the relationship. The relationship between the predecessor Li Aozi and his family was not very harmonious. His mother favored her daughter and didn't let him take the college entrance examination. His sisters used him as an ATM. His father didn't talk to him for a few words all year round. Only his grandfather, who was a policeman, had a decent relationship with him.

After Li Mingji disappeared mysteriously, everyone had a worse impression of him. The family, which was not rich to begin with, became even more impoverished.

Of course, later with the rise of crossing, everything has completely changed. Li Aozi's dissatisfaction with his original family and his individualistic mentality made him never participate in the investigation of the subsequent things.

As for the question of Li Mingji - if N4 hadn't mentioned it again, the blacksmith would have needed more than an hour to even think of this name.

"Let's talk about this later."

The blacksmith didn't have the keen insight and long-term vision of Li Aoz, which belonged to the characteristics of the soul.

In other words, Li Aoz's best qualities were almost all in Paulina.

But the blacksmith never wanted Paulina to get involved in these complicated things. Li Aoz was already in pieces, so let him disappear completely. They who inherited his abilities and memories should live a peaceful and ordinary life.

In the blacksmith's view, Paulina was just on a whim. As long as she returned to a comfortable living environment, she would regret and laugh at her previous impulsiveness and immaturity in a few days.

Young people are always like this. Their thoughts change faster than the weather in the mountains. It can turn from sunny to cloudy to heavy rain and then sunny again in one afternoon.

"Let's not talk about my affairs here... I will naturally investigate Li Mingji's problem, but you - N4, what are your plans in the future?"

the blacksmith asked doubtfully.

Until now, he doesn't know what N4 is thinking about?

"Me? Dear Li Aozi, this is not the first time we have met. Don't you still know what I think?"

N4 pulled up his long gray hair, and the implanted nerve cords at the roots glowed slightly:

"This is actually one of my reproductive clones. You [Master] use the colonial armored soldiers as puppet weapons, while we [Biochemists] use them as tools. This is the difference between us."

"So your body is still somewhere else?"

"exactly."

The blacksmith did not continue to ask questions.

The N4 colony is at the Zeta level. As for her purpose, the blacksmith knows that it is just that. For some knowledge achievements, she will definitely get involved with the void.

It doesn't matter, after all, whether it's N4 or Azure Star, the blacksmith is determined to give up everything related to Li Ozi.

Even if the universe burns and the stars boil, it has nothing to do with him.

"Well, good luck to you."

So said the blacksmith.

N4 blinked his big eyes, looked at him and said:

"Lee Aozi, five years ago I took your name and gave you this body to accommodate you - which is enough to reach about 9 towers! And I placed you in Gufeng Village. I wanted to protect you. , place you, and wait until later to make plans, even to conquer this planet. "

"I'm tired." The blacksmith said calmly: "For me, it's all over. I'm tired of the journey."

"You have become decadent because your life is too peaceful?"

"I'm just tired of the endless fighting and action. I'm also a human being, and I also feel pleasure and fatigue. This may not be the best place to retire, but where else can I choose to go?"

The blacksmith shook his head:

"I'm very tired, N4. I have no hope for anything in the future. I have witnessed too much in the past. It only took me 8 years to complete the path that ordinary people take for hundreds of years, and I have never really enjoyed life."

"You have no interest in the Xingyuan and the Tao, even if you have been to the universe?"

"Lee Ozi was once more enthusiastic than you."

said the blacksmith.

‘But I’m not Lee Ozzy. ’

Let Li Ozi disappear alone.

"Now that you have made your choice, I don't force you to continue planning with me."

N4 shrugged:

"But with this body of yours, I have to remind you."

"What's the reminder?" the blacksmith said calmly.

"Although this body was picked up on the roadside, it has the strength of the Yota level. But as far as I know, there are not many people on this planet with the ability of the Yota level."

N4 said calmly:

"Nine of them are from the High Table, the powerful people in the Kingdom Council."

"Are you trying to say that my body comes from one of the Nine Knights of the High Table?"

"It's very possible." N4 said: "As one of the powerful people in the only kingdom of Dragon Satellite, he is left on the roadside in an embarrassing posture like garbage. It is inevitable... that it will make people daydream, right?"

"Political persecution, failure in struggle, brutal assassination, key defeat... there are many possibilities that will force one of the real rulers of this planet to live in exile, right?"

N4 said with great interest:

"Although you long for a peaceful old age, peace may not necessarily find you, especially now that you have gotten back so many things that belong to you. The Fermi Institute will not let you go."

"Is this also your plan? Lead me out deliberately to regain my arcana and characteristics..."

"It was an accident."

N4 grinned:

"Would you believe it if I said that?"

"...That doesn't matter."

The blacksmith's eyes froze slightly.

——N4 is indeed tampering behind the scenes.

This woman cannot stay, and she wants to return to a peaceful life. N4 knows that she has too many details, and she is also vaguely aware of the high-top table.

She must die!

The blacksmith was not in a hurry to take action. As the other party said, the [Biochemist]'s cloak was just a tool and could be thrown away at any time, and her true body must still be admiring him from a distance.

Instead of alerting the enemy and possibly exposing the truth that he is not "Lee Aozi", the blacksmith prefers to find out the opponent's real existence and completely kill the opponent.

N4 is certainly useful to Li Ozi, but what does that have to do with blacksmiths?

Even if a god comes to hinder his seclusion, he will kill it quietly.

N4 squinted his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

It seemed that she was aware of the blacksmith's hostility, and there was a faint coldness in her narrowed eyes.

"Dear Li Aozi, since we have nothing to do with each other anymore, even if we part ways in the future - I won't disturb you, and you'd better not disturb me."

"...each other."

The atmosphere between the two gradually reached a freezing point, and with the breakdown of their former alliance, their conflicts quickly surfaced.

The blacksmith believes that N4 holds his own handle.

N4 is wary of Li Ozi's fighting ability.

"Hello! You guys have been chatting for a long time!"

Paulina walked over excitedly, holding two baked potatoes in her hand:

"Qiang Qiang Qiang! I was just bored and digging around, and I didn't expect to find such a good thing! Uncle Blacksmith, Ms. N4, do you want to try it?"

The tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.

N4 casually took out her pocket watch, and the hands turned into three little snakes were completely curled up. She looked at Paulina and said to the blacksmith:

"The rain has stopped. There is no need for me to take you the rest of the way."

"Eh? Do you want to say goodbye here?"

Polina was stunned and immediately asked:

"Ms. N4, won't you join us?"

"My identity is still a member of the Fermi Institute, Miss."

N4 smiled slightly, turned around and walked a few steps towards a road in the grotto, then stopped:

"Based on your courage and character, let me give you some advice, young lady."

Polina was puzzled, but nodded anyway:

"Please say."

"Quality rain will only fall when the void is active."

N4 said calmly:

"The rain is man-made. Apart from snake watches that are suddenly scattered around the world, there is almost no way to predict the rain."

"The only thing that is certain is that this rain essentially appears to destroy the void."

"However, even though all void creatures are killed after the quality rain, the kingdom's army often approaches. They seem to have been searching for the source of the rain..."

N4 seemed to want to say something else, but a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from outside the cliff, tearing the sky apart and illuminating the world.

Rumble…

N4 closed his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and said:

"That's about it."

She glanced at the blacksmith and said:

"Whether you can return to a peaceful life, you know in your heart. The landmines are buried there, and no one cares about them at ordinary times, but if they are triggered, you will never be able to return to peace."

After saying that, she turned around and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

"The source of rainfall..."

Polina frowned, still thinking about N4's words.

"Don't think too much."

The blacksmith took the potato from her hand and took a bite:

"When the rain stops, I'll take you and Nail back home, take a good bath, sleep for a night, and don't think about anything else."

"What about the dead people..." Paulina asked

"Let's talk about it the next day." The blacksmith said calmly: "You are all a group of children making noises. It is estimated that the parents will be missing for two or three days before they can react."

"Before that, will I hide the truth about their deaths?"

"It can only be delayed for a while." The blacksmith said: "Besides, letting everyone know about the Fermi Institute is not a good thing, and it may even lead to death."

"But we can't keep the parents of these people in the dark, right? Their children died at the hands of the institute, but they can't even know who the murderer is. We went out together, but I was the only one who came back safely... …”

"That's not something you should consider."

The blacksmith said coldly:

"Your grandpa is very powerful locally. It's nothing to suppress these things. As for the Fermi Institute, you can talk to him and the adults will find a way to handle everything."

"I……"

"Don't think about anything."

The blacksmith grabbed the remaining potato, stuffed it into the other person's mouth, and warned:

"This is not an era of telling the truth. The more people know the truth, the easier it is to lose the existing order."

"This is society, using lies and self-deception to maintain a fragile balance."
