Life in the collapsed world from scratch

Xilin's phantom floated beside Cheng Xi, looking curiously at the tall clock tower standing on the banks of the Thames in the distance. This was her first time in this country, and everything around her was full of novelty. .

"The Palace of Westminster, I know that." Cheng Xi nodded and said, "It's rumored to be the famous zoo and botanical garden in Britain, right?"

"By the way, do you know that you need to buy a ticket to visit there?"

Ada:?

"Should... want it?" She hesitated for a moment and replied, her tone a little uncertain.

According to common sense, ordinary people, especially "tourists" like Cheng Xi, are not allowed to enter the Capitol, but if they are willing to spend a little money, maybe they can buy a bribe to get in?

But then again, aren't you on an important mission right now?It's better not to cause trouble at this time, right?

"Sorry, I'm used to it." Cheng Xi apologized without sincerity.

...What a strange habit.

While complaining in her heart, Aida continued to point the way for Cheng Xi:

"Go a little further, and you will arrive at the hotel we booked for you."

".々Luxurious single room, free parking, free wifi, unlimited fruit and snacks, breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet, and small surprises waiting for you... Hehe, Cheng Xi, you made a lot of money this time .”

Although Cheng Xi himself doesn't care much about it, but as the executor of anti-entropy, the budget for the business trip is already very sufficient, and there is really not much else to spend money on this mission, so pay attention to the accommodation. Some are also extenuating things.

However, Cheng Xi was not as happy as she imagined, but instead showed embarrassment:

"Others are fine, just this free three meals...can I not?"

The charm of British cuisine, let’s wait until the next opportunity to try it again.

……(De Nuo Hao)

"So, this is the little surprise you were talking about?"

Looking at the tall golden cross standing in the middle of the room, Cheng Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and asked.

"Just to ask, how did you transport such a large Judas here without being discovered?"

... By the way, is there no cleaner in this hotel?

"Well~~" Ada prolonged the syllable on purpose, and said in a sly tone: "It's a secret~"

Correspondingly, the image of the girl winking cutely at herself appeared in Cheng Xi's mind.

... You are so skinny, are you not afraid of being unplugged? .

Chapter 220 "Strange, don't these people sleep at night?"

At night, Cheng Xi stands on the top of the Big Ben clock tower, looking down at the brightly lit city.

It is not only the capital, the largest city and the largest port of Britain, but also the largest metropolitan area and the third largest city in Europe. It is the center of politics, economy, culture and entertainment of Britain. To some extent, this city It is the epitome of this old empire.

In the 2000 years since its existence, it has witnessed the success or failure of the country under its feet, witnessed industrial glory and ethnic conflicts, witnessed economic rise and financial collapse, and has stood tenaciously until now.

And when night fell, this ancient and luxurious city completely changed its appearance, turning into a dreamlike neon world.

"Are you still working overtime in the middle of the night? It's really hard work." Aida yawned and said, with a vague sleepiness in her voice, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"...I just can't sleep." Cheng Xi responded, and said that he was a firm "refusal to work overtime".

193 In fact, if he hadn't been having that strange dream continuously for the past two nights, he wouldn't have gone out for a walk at night—he was really tired of being watched.

Once or twice is okay, but you are over and start over again, a video is replayed there in an endless loop, and I can't stand it personally. Cheng Xi feels that his sleep quality has declined a lot during this period of time. This is not true. , Even the dark circles under the eyes came out.

But it was also because of this that he knew that Ada would sleep at night... By the way, why do you still sleep when you are an artificial intelligence?

"Mr. Cheng Xi, your opinion of me is biased." Aida said earnestly: "As a serious intelligent life form, I certainly can't run around the clock for 24 hours. AI also needs to rest. You are biased." This view is not conducive to the harmonious coexistence of humans and AI."

Cheng Xi: ...I'm sorry, I'm too small.

"But having said that." Cheng Xi was still a little curious: "Ada, you haven't answered me yet, do you really need to sleep?"

"No need." Ada replied lightly.

"..."

The trust between human beings and AI has been destroyed by you single-handedly, be prepared to apologize with death, woman.

Cheng Xi complained in his heart.

"Also, by the way, I would like to remind you that trampling on cultural relics is a very immoral act, and it may violate the cultural relics protection law." The girl kindly reminded.

Do you use human laws to govern the behavior of the Lawer?Aida, you are such a powerful official.

Although he was complaining so much in his heart, Cheng Xi took a deep breath and jumped down from the nearly [-]-meter-high bell tower.

"Om-"

A golden gleam glowed from the back of Cheng Xi's hand, and slender golden chains shot out from under the cover of his sleeves, slowing down his fall by the walls of the surrounding buildings.

Soul steel itself is highly remodelable, so theoretically speaking, the God's Key made of soul steel should also inherit this characteristic.

As long as you make good use of this feature, you can theoretically reconstruct the God's Key into any shape you want.

For example, Judas' hunting mode can even reconstruct itself into a cross pendant less than the size of a palm, so it can be hidden in the sleeve like it is now.Among other things, at least the concealment is full compared to the original huge body that is one person tall.

"pat..."

There was a slight sound when both feet landed on the ground. After successfully landing, Cheng Xi put Judas' chain back.

The golden light faded, and the alley regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.

Although it is a city that never sleeps, there are relatively few pedestrians on the road at the time of two o'clock in the morning, so he dared to make the move just now under the condition that he would not be found...

"You are like this every time, can't you listen to me once?"

Suddenly, the boy's complaining voice from behind made Cheng Xi's complacent expression freeze instantly.

"Close when it's time to close. If you stay up so late every day, your body will not be able to hold on."

The boy didn't pay much attention to the passer-by in the alley, and he still babbled to the girl walking beside him, "I said Nata, are you listening?"

"Hmph, don't worry about it." The girl shook her head, quickened her pace, passed the boy and walked out of the alley.

"Hey, wait for me!" Seeing this, the boy hurriedly chased after him.

Cheng Xi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the backs of the two leaving, until their figures completely disappeared at the end of his sight, and then he took his eyes back.

"What's the matter? Is it someone you know?" Ada asked curiously.

"...No." Cheng Xi shook his head, "It's just two ordinary passers-by."

"I don't think so."

A cold voice came from behind the shadow of the alley, and with the sound, an uncomfortable smell began to fill the air, like the cold touch left by some kind of cold-blooded reptile.

"People who can be specially paid attention to by you, Mr. Cheng Xi, are not ordinary people."

Even if they used to be ordinary, they will no longer be ordinary because of your gaze—this is probably what the man holding the umbrella meant.

"I didn't expect that you would still flatter others."

Cheng Xi turned her head to look at the sudden figure, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "As expected, you are not dead yet."

"Be careful, Cheng Xi." Aida reminded, with a hint of vigilance in her voice: "This person is a bit strange."

Cheng Xi nodded, indicating that he knew.

"I'm just telling the truth," the man said.

"So, you purposely appeared in front of me to say this?"

Cheng Xi is not interested in listening to him continue to talk nonsense: "Let's say..."

The golden shimmer lit up again, and the light dispelled the shadows in the alley, completely exposing the figure of the man.

"You don't think it's enjoyable enough once, and you're ready to die again? Gray Snake?".

Chapter 220 Chapter Two: Accidents are always one step ahead of me

Xi'er has been a little restless recently, and the reason is naturally related to Cheng Xi.

"My brother hasn't come here for several days, where has he gone?" the girl thought to herself.

Of course, in the past, Li Chengxi also had the experience of not showing up for several days due to missions or other reasons. If it was normal, Xier would not be so worried if she didn't see Cheng Xi for a few days, but this time it was different This time, he didn't even bring Xiao Cangxuan with him.

"Are you carrying out some dangerous mission?" Xier thought with some worry~.

"Hey……"

Deep in consciousness, a familiar sigh came:

"I said Xier, although I know he is very important to you, but you can't rely on him like a child all the time - right?"

"I... I'm not a child." Hearing this, Xi'er blushed slightly and stammered, "I've grown up!"

"Yes yes yes~" the voice in my heart responded perfunctorily, and then changed the tone:

"However, growing up means being independent and independent, and you can no longer expect to be able to rely on anyone."

Eh, is that so?The girl hesitated for a moment.

Then I still... don't grow up, right?

"I told you..."

The voice of "Xie'er" seemed a little helpless: "It's too easy to shake, can't you be firmer?"

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Xi'er lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"……Ugh."

A sigh came from beside her ears, and before Xi'er raised her head, she felt herself thrown into a warm embrace.

"How can you put me at ease like this..."

"Xie'er" gently pressed her face against the girl's short black and blue hair, and said softly in an inaudible voice.

"Ah? What?" Xi'er couldn't hear what she said.

"……nothing."

She raised her head, rubbed the girl's head with her hand and said, "Don't worry, I just scared you, I won't let you alone anyway."
