2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

The sun shines on the sea, and the waves are sparkling, like countless diamonds flashing, shining with bright golden light.

The cruise ship broke through the calm sea and dragged a long white water trail forward. The waves crashed against the hull, rolling up and exploding white foam flowers in the air.

The chirping of seabirds could be heard overhead, and the vague outlines of buildings on the distant coastline could already be seen.

"If I had known earlier, I would have saved at least half the time by flying."

Wei Min, wearing a plaid shirt and shorts, was lying on the railing, with a pair of sunglasses on his forehead and a three-ball ice cream in his hand. His dark skin seemed to be quite popular here. Just after walking around on the deck, two waves of girls came over and asked for their contact information, but he declined them both.

Yan Muyun, who was sitting on the beach chair next to him, didn't speak. He just frowned and looked down at his phone, wondering what he was doing.

"Has anyone contacted you?" Wei Min turned around and asked.

"Not yet." Yan Muyun picked up the coconut water next to him and took a sip.

This mission is divided into two groups, and each group needs to find its own way to board the Ark of Eden.

Yan Muyun and Wei Min, who had neither money nor connections, thought about it and finally tried to find a way out on Jieke. However, they contacted several users who posted messages claiming to have methods, but received no reply.

"Wait a little longer, maybe they didn't read the message." Wei Min said and bit off half of the ice cream in one bite.

Yan Muyun stood up and stretched: "Go back and pack up. We're about to get off the boat."

"Okay." Wei Min followed.

After taking a few steps, Yan Muyun frowned slightly and was keenly aware that someone seemed to be observing them. Turning his head to look, he saw several girls in swimsuits gathered together by the swimming pool and pointed in this direction. Seeing him looking over, the girls quickly looked away, pretending that nothing happened, and ran away pushing each other.

"So...what if you give me your contact information." Yan Muyun sighed.

"You didn't give it to me either." Wei Min looked nonchalant.

"At least I didn't look back at you when I refused. You looked really gay that way."

"What era are you in, why do you still care about these things? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, you seem to be over fifty years old, and it's normal to have some feudal thoughts..."

"If you keep beeping, I'll have sex with your dad when I get back."

...

The cruise ship docked.

This was Yan Muyun's first time in Japan. As soon as he set foot on this land, he felt a slight sense of disharmony.

"Really? Look, look, look." Wei Min came up.

Yan Muyun lifted his backpack and smiled slightly: "Let's go to the hotel to put our things first."

"Someone from Jieke replied to me."

"To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to them playing some tricks. It's best to come directly to the hacker, so we might be able to save some money by then."

Wei Min raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean, go to the hotel first?"

Yan Muyun: {Is there anything you can’t say to Jie Ke? }

Compared with the port where we first disembarked, this place seems to be no different from cities in other countries, with bright lights and bustling traffic, and people of all ages and shapes gather in rivers and rush along both sides of the road.

After carefully observing the pedestrians around him, Yan Muyun found that none of the locals seemed to have any expressions on their faces. Everyone's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and their eyes were not looking straight ahead, but slightly lowered, as if to avoid eye contact with other people.

Yan Muyun thought for a while and typed a line on his phone: {No, you choose the location and time. }

Yan Muyun had to admit that there was some truth in his words. Even if he had just stood on this land, his mood had already been affected a bit heavier. There was a feeling that just showing a smile from the bottom of his heart turned into a burden. a feeling of.

Wei Min said: "When everyone around you is silent, no matter what you say or do, you will become conspicuous. Japanese people hate this kind of conspicuousness and are afraid of this feeling of being different from others, so they behave differently when they are outside. That's it. After all, sometimes even if no one criticizes, the strange look they look at you is enough to drive you crazy. I'm afraid only when they don't stay in a place like this can those girls dare to show off a little bit. nature."

Yan Muyun stretched out his hand and pointed forward. A sign hung on the side of the building was made up of the words "Big Pine Izakaya" in Japanese using neon lights. There was also a pine tree in the lower left corner of the sign that alternately glowed blue and green.

{Brother, you are here in Osaka, right? }

Son of Crazy Wind Bee: {Brother Qingliangren, let’s meet at the Big Pine Izakaya at eight o’clock tonight? }

Yan Muyun said as he took out his mobile phone, but as soon as he opened the taxi app, a message pop-up window at the top of the phone attracted his attention.

This is a prosperous seaport city, and the streets and buildings are neat and clean. But for some reason, everything in the field of vision was covered with a thin layer of gray gauze, and the overall atmosphere gave people a somewhat depressed and decadent feeling.

Yan Muyun: {Yes. }

Yan Muyun: {No problem. }

"It's settled now? Aren't you afraid of what tricks he will play?" Wei Min asked.

But if you look carefully, except for those men and women working in the service industry and those who are obviously drunk, most people still look a little gloomy. It's as if I came to this kind of place not to have fun, but to practice asceticism.

...

At 7:40 pm, Yan Muyun and Wei Min followed the map instructions and came to a busy street full of neon signs.

Son of Crazy Wind Bee: {Oh, some things are easier to say in person. If you are worried, the worst thing is that you can choose the meeting place and time, I can do it. }

They walked by in a hurry, with only the road ahead in their eyes, as if they were not interested in anything around them.

"The environment is different."

"Then take a taxi..."

Son of Crazy Wind Bee: {Some things are not convenient to say online, let’s talk in person? }

Well, this guy doesn't seem to be in a bad mood.

A user named "Crazy Wind Bee Son" responded to him:

"found it."

"You know this place so well?" Yan Muyun was a little surprised.

Yan Muyun thought for a while: "Those Japanese girls on the ship are not like this."

This is true for office workers, housewives, and even the most energetic students.

"It is probably because the life in the past few decades has been too depressing, which has suppressed the Japanese people's psychological problems. Especially in the more than ten years when nuclear sewage was surrounded, there were basically no foreign tourists, and the local tourism industry and other industries collapsed. , Everyone's life is very stressful..." Wei Min walked to him at some point and lowered his voice.

"I read the online analysis before I came here. I thought it was a bit outrageous, but now it seems quite appropriate." Wei Min looked around and bared his teeth.
