The next question and answer let Jenkins barely know the woman's family environment. Just as Jenkins thought, from the generation of women's grandfathers, the family came to Nolan, and has always been the bottom of society.

   Women have six brothers and sisters, but only four live to adulthood. When she was young, a woman met her husband, a young man who didn't have a fixed job and was idle.

This introduction is somewhat similar to the original owner Jenkins, but the difference is that the original owner Jenkins has a relatively good background, literate and also understands some simple mathematics. Both father and mother will guide the life of the original owner, and the original owner plans to change that under the supervision of his father Robert. life. But the teenagers that women meet are from slums, their mothers died early, and their fathers are gambling ghosts. They have no big pursuits themselves, and there are some problems with their character.

   But such a "bad man" attracted the young and naive girl for some reason.

   So, despite the opposition of her family, she insisted on marrying that guy. After the woman had three children five years after her marriage, the man ran away with other women as expected, and there was no news ever since.

   So a woman can only raise three children by herself. In addition to working in the factory, she will also wash and repair clothes for others. Fortunately, the eldest girl is 8 years old this year and can take care of her younger siblings and do some simple housework.

   The women’s brothers and sisters are not doing well, and their parents passed away two years ago. The poor generally do not live long. Therefore, she now works entirely on her own, raising three children independently. The reason for the haggard face is on the one hand due to physical fatigue, on the other hand, it is also due to heart fatigue.

   She can't see the future, not only can't see her own future, but also the children's future, because this family of four can never have money for the children to read.

   This kind of reality that has no future, but still has to live, is torment every day when I open my eyes. But the days have to go by day by day, and women have to live strong. She can't imagine what will happen to the three children once she disappears.

   In the question and answer asking about the women's family status, they have left the factory and stepped onto the street. The woman's home is in the slums of Nolan East. Although the east of Nolan is more prosperous than the west of Nolan, it is only in the core area of ​​the city.

   People in the slums in the west of the city mostly work in railway stations and docks, while people in the east mostly work in factories and mining areas. These areas absorb most of Nolan's labor force.

   There is still time on the road, and Jenkins also asks and thinks of how to make women "work hard." Just like the previous few people, she painted a bright future for her, and then inspired her to live hard for her children.

   In terms of the character of a woman known from the conversation, she will definitely "work hard" for the bright future that is portrayed, just to keep her children from living like herself.

   But Jenkins doesn't want to do this. It's not that he hates using the same routine twice, nor is he pitying others all of a sudden. It's just because the joke of the differential engine is really too much. When he asked for "Never Fatigue" from the miner just now, he himself was a little annoyed, and now he is looking for "hard work" from the poor woman, which directly ignited his anger.

  People can not pity others, but they can't laugh at them. Even if you laugh at others, you must never use the weakest part of the other person to laugh at others.

   Jenkins believed that this treacherous situation was originally Nolan’s scene, but he also believed that the details of the mission were definitely maneuvered by difference. He knows that the differential engine can guess that he can figure out a way to "draw the future", and he knows that the differential engine wants to see him do that.

   But that kind of practice is very hypocritical. Draw a big pie and let the poor person consume his life to fight. Even in a treacherous situation, Jenkins will do this behavior once, and there will not be a second time.

   They turned around the corner, and the woman's eyes swept across the window of the cake shop, but they didn't stop. The workers who came out of the factory were diverted by the streets and lanes, and returned to the city life in the late summer evening.

   The light rain that had lasted for a long time had stopped, and the dark clouds quickly disappeared, letting the brilliant sunset illuminate the city. Let the two people walking on the uphill street facing the billowing sunset look like golden light radiating from their bodies.

   At this moment, all people are equal. They are all part of this city, they are all a role in this era, and they are a corner of the picture scroll. After giving up thinking about each person's life for a short time, the moment of beautiful scenery can completely relax the mood, as if blended into this brilliant light.

Chapter 2206: Delays on Both Sides

   After the woman confided her story to Jenkins, her haggard face had a relieved expression:

   "I rarely mention my things to others."

   "Are there no friends in the factory?"

   "Everyone is very busy, and, sir, do you think I am pitiful?"

   There are more poor people than her, at least she can barely make ends meet now, which is an extravagant hope for many people.

   "Every family has a story. My story is not unusual, so I rarely tell others. I don't want others to have pity on me, and I don't think I need pity."

   They finally came to the top of the gentle slope, and the next step was straight. The light from the setting sun after the rain is particularly dazzling. It is orange light, and it can even be said to have a tragic warmth.

   Because the rain stopped, there were more people on the street. Every scene here is the performance of this magnificent era. Jenkins even believes that if someone can record all the events that happened on this street, then these records can be used to describe Nolan in the summer of 1865.

   "Do you feel tired in life?"

   He finally asked this question. The woman did not look at him, but at the children running on the street:

   "How can I not be tired? But since it is the life of my own choice, I have to accept it."

   Two children chasing each other passed in front of them, and they stopped and waited until the children ran to the side of the road.

   "Sometimes I thought about how happy I would be if I couldn't wake up, but every time I got there I would force myself to wake up and go to work. There is no way, after all, I still have them."

   This is a very ordinary-looking woman. After the physical labor and the pressure of life, her appearance is even worse. But Jenkins would like to see her face at this time, this face represents most of the people in this world.

"Some people work to make money, and some people just to live. I don't think anyone will feel tired. After all, everyone knows how boring and arduous factory work is. But what? We have no choice. It’s the leeway, or the choice when you were young, that led to this kind of life."

   "So, do you resent life, or resent the man who abandoned you and the children?"

   Jenkins asked again.

   "Both resent, that man and the current life make me feel uncomfortable. But I also resent myself... So what?"

   The woman asked this question again.

"Always go on, work, live, and watch the children grow up day by day. Maybe their lives will be worse than mine, maybe better than I thought. But those are not important anymore. I I have never dared to look forward. I just walked with my head down and walked forward quickly. This way, I can forget those troubles for a while. I can probably be regarded as a very hardworking woman."

   Without being induced by Jenkins, she said this by herself.

   "If the family is happy, I will be a good housewife. But now that this is the case, I can only work harder, otherwise the children's future will really have no way out."

   The two turned inward at the entrance of the street. After leaving the main road, they entered the intricate alleys of the slums. The population density here is extremely high, and it is a warm summer evening, and there are people everywhere in the alleys.

   The children were talking and laughing, and the housewives were sitting at the door washing vegetables. The men gather in groups to chat, or discuss their recent income.

   The woman's home is nearby, she is the same as everyone here. People greeted the women, and the women responded.

"Look at the people here, who is not the same as me? Even in other cities I haven't been to, I believe most people are the same as me. Life is busy and busy, we work hard, this is life. "

   The two walked side by side, and finally came to the door of the woman's house. Under the supervision of the older boy, the younger girl sat foolishly at the door playing with sand, while the oldest girl came out to greet her mother with a spatula.

   A family of four all walked into the house, but Jenkins did not follow, instead reaching out to catch the floating heart-shaped gemstone.

   Touched the well-behaved cat on his shoulder, Jenkins turned and looked at the gear man who had been following him.

   "It's strange, I obviously didn't do anything."

   he said.

   Jenkins doesn't want to use the painted future to coax women into hardworking work. His idea is to make women love life, cherish what is right now, and plan to place the conversation venue in the woman's home, so that it will be easier.

   But he didn't do anything yet, and this gemstone appeared. He was just acting as a listener, communicating with women, and no other influence was exerted.

   "The difficulty of the seven goals is different. This one may be the simplest one."

   Gearman said, and then looked at the gemstone in his hand with Jenkins.

   The rain stopped and the clouds scattered, and in the magnificent sunset, the light reflected from the surface of the gemstone was still dazzling. The diamond is not big and doesn't have much temperature, but it does appear.

   "Are you pitying this woman?"

   Gearman asked.

   "Yes, I didn't feel this way when I was on the road, but looking at this diamond, I really pity her, and at the same time I want to blow your head with a punch."

   "But, her life has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything, I just took you to see it all."

   It is quite right. Women's current life has nothing to do with it, but this does not prevent Jenkins from further disgusting the difference machine in his heart.

   This is of course not because it brought him to see this scene, Jenkins is not so angry yet. What he dislikes is that the deliberately agitating his mood by the difference engine, the eccentricity set by the other party is definitely aimed at his mood.

   The ninth level is the last level. The differential engine may want to make Jenkins hesitate and make Jenkins hesitate before the final battle, but this will only make Jenkins want to destroy the opponent even more.

   "Even if I don't bring you here, this person still exists, but you can't see it. Or is your anger just because I showed you something you don't want to see or think about?"

   "I'm not that low-level yet."

   Jenkins said, then threw the gemstone to the gear man, turned and walked towards the door of the woman's house. After pushing the door to enter, he returned to the old antique shop.

   "So, William the savior, not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'll show you that..."

   The Gear Man followed behind Jenkins and returned to the store, then stopped talking, and together with Jenkins, he saw that Daddy’s place was empty.

   "Look, I know there will be accidents. There are accidents in everything. This is my experience for so many years."

   said the gear man, and walked two steps back to behind the counter:

"When building any model, variables must be considered. The complexity of reality makes it impossible to count too many variables. Only with my existence can it be possible to calculate every possibility. I guess there will be people. I intruded into the last treacherous realm ahead of time, but I didn't guess that it would be done in this way. It seems that I still underestimated the Orthodox Church, but after all, it is the Church of the Orthodox Gods, and it is normal for some abilities beyond calculation.

   "Daddy really came here?"

   Jenkins thought for a while, and then asked the other person:

   "Aren't you going to stop him?"

   "Why do you want to go? The owner of this antique shop must have gone to the last clock tower. We will also pass by, so there is no need to stop it."

   "Don't you worry about me delaying time here, so that Dad has more time to prepare in the clock tower?"

   Jenkins asked.

   "Of course, don't worry, why do you think I talked so much with you in the ninth level of treacherous realm?"

   Gearman asked, Jenkins answered without thinking:

   "In order to delay time, let your ontology core merge as much as possible."

   "Did you guess it?"

   "Yes, I guessed it."

   "Why are you still willing to talk nonsense with me here? You didn't think of this just now, right?"

   Jenkins smiled, leaned sideways on the counter, and put the cat on the counter at the same time, stroking with one hand:

   "Actually, I am very happy to suggest that you have become a beast of disaster."

   "Why?"

"If I stop you, although I succeeded in preventing the end, it means that the Eighteenth Period lacks a beast of calamity. Therefore, before we calm down the disaster as much as possible, and wait for the oracle to announce the beginning of the Nineteenth Period, There will be beasts of calamity, and beasts of calamity that no one knows about.

   Therefore, instead of facing an unknown enemy, it is better to turn you into a beast of disaster and let me defeat you. Wouldn't it be more convenient? "

   Jenkins said.

   "You are so confident? I am confident that I have become a beast of disaster, you can still deal with me?"

   "If you don't believe it, why don't you go to the clock tower, let's start the decisive battle directly here? Of course, your core should dare to appear in front of me now."

   Hearing Jenkins's provocative words, the gear man hadn't reacted, and the chocolate under Jenkins came to his spirits. It was originally lying on the counter, letting Jenkins touch its little head. Now he didn't care about getting close to Jenkins, he stood up, his eyes widened, and he looked around excitedly, hoping that the battle would begin immediately.

  Chocolate thinks that his bright moment is coming.

   "We must abide by the rules. Since we said we will see me at the end of the ninth floor, then you must complete the adventure in this treacherous world before you can see me."

   "You still want to take more time to merge the original steam engine and [Mechanical Heart] as much as possible? Look, you are still scared."

   Jenkins asked.

   "Whatever you want."

  Because it is not a positive answer, the priest cannot tell whether it is a lie.

Chapter 2207 The Last Bell Tower

   "Speaking of which, you will not have reached the critical moment of integration now?"

   Jenkins asked again, but the Gear Man did not answer, but instead opened the secret compartment on his chest and put the sixth gemstone in it.

"Since you don't speak, it's better to let me guess where your core will be hiding in the deception. Since the scale of the deception is the entire Nolan, then the most likely location is... "

   "Until the end of the mission, you can't move in the deceit."

   Gear Man reminded.

   "Are you afraid?"

"of course not."

   This is the truth, after all, whether a machine with only a broken soul is afraid of it is still unknown.

   "Then, you are worried that I will find you and fight with you before you complete the final fusion."

"Yes it is."

   "Really honest, this is one of your few advantages. Well, in that case, let's start the final adventure, it's not too early."

   He squinted at the afterglow of the sunset on the Fifth Queen's Avenue outside the window. Once the sunset appeared, the twilight phase would soon end. Compared to the time when I was walking on the street with the woman, it was dark now.

   "But let's leave without being busy, we can talk about it again."

   He said again, of course the Gear Man would not fail to agree:

   "What do you want to talk about?"

   "Why do you want to put the transit point of this treacherous land in the old antique shop? Is there any purpose?"
