While leaning on the edge of the window, Leanna looked at the scenery around the road, and fell into a long contemplation.

Tesla.

Einstein.

Joyce.

In the organization of Mandate of Heaven, I don’t know how many years, there have not been guys as cute as these people,

…… Perhaps, a long, long time ago, someone who liked to start with the abbreviation “H.A” could still be considered half.

Although I didn’t like her tone of speech at all… But at least, she can make everyone change their tastes in the atmosphere.

Unconsciously, the last encounter was also a hundred years ago.

At that time, the railroad had just been built in Chicago –

And now, she is a metropolis of millions of people.

To be honest, the United States has changed much more than a hundred years ago.

“Germany” ceased to be a national title, they successively formed two empires, although both ended in failure …

The head of state of France went from president to emperor and from emperor back to president;

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was torn apart, and the former hegemon finally withdrew from the stage of history.

Especially in recent decades, the “everyday” world has fought two big wars, and the empires of foreign powers and cadres have fallen one after another …

On the contrary, the organization of “Mandate of Heaven” has become more and more lifeless, showing no signs of change.

Being a Valkyrie, or rather, a “war machine”. It may be strange to complain like this – but the headache of the bishop may have absorbed all the “creative cells” alone; Whether it is a colleague or a researcher, it seems that they are all copies of the “Shenzhou immortals”, they do not smile, they taste like chewing wax …

Or, at least, people can’t see what whimsical things can be in their hearts.

That’s standard, chicken-ribbed, dull to the point of suffocation, “calm adult.”

When we call ourselves “mature and calm”, probably, we are already old.

Perhaps, at this moment, a few “immature” people are not far from her, tinkering with some things that the bishop forbidden.

…… But so what? As long as they didn’t do anything too much—she thought, that wasn’t their style either.

Her “machine”, today, is going to shield them.

Because, “machines”, too, have feelings.

“Machine”, too, wants to taste, that emotion called “envy”.

“I’m going to be a catcher in a wheat field in the future, and there are a bunch of children playing in a big wheat field.”

Looking at the endless wheat fields around her, as if she had finally figured out something, Leanna lowered her head and began to recite in a low voice a famous sentence from a certain literary work.

“Tens of thousands of little children, not a single adult nearby, I mean – except me. I, on the precipice of that mess, was on the edge of that mess; My job is to watch there, and if any child comes to the edge of the cliff, I will be responsible for catching him. ”

“I mean, the kids were running wildly and didn’t know where they were running — I had to get out of somewhere and catch them. I do this all day, I just want to be a catcher in a wheat field. ”

“Is it Salinger’s ‘The Catcher in the Rye’?”

Just as Leanna was talking to herself, saying sentences that only she could understand, Jiang Qi’s voice sounded, reminding her that there were other people around her.

In surprise, Leanna seemed to be a little curious why Jiang Qi knew about the work she was chanting.

“Sorry, I ignored your opinion and contacted the bishop, I hope you don’t care too much…”

Leanna softly apologized to Jiang Qi, for contacting Otto for ignoring his objections, even though she knew it was a thankless job.

“In the midst of my struggle, if someone casts an understanding look at you, you will feel a warmth of life, and perhaps a brief glimpse is enough to excite me.”

Jiang Qi did not choose to hold Leanna responsible, and of course there was no need to be angry because of this kind of thing, but also chose a famous sentence from that book as the sentence he wanted to say to Leanna the most at the moment.

“…… Do you think, I’m like a machine, I mean, in every sense…”

A tired smile appeared on Leanna’s face, and she was naturally able to hear Jiang Qi’s words at the moment, so she would ask a question that only he could answer like this.

“The machine doesn’t repeat this seemingly meaningless search, but it seems like something a watchman would do.”

Jiang Qi shook his head slightly as if joking while putting his hand on the steering wheel.

If he could see Leana’s expression at the moment, and find that her eyes were already shining with tears, I wonder if he could still act so light.

But it is also this that ultimately determines the future direction invisibly.
