Astrolab Reboot [Online Version]

That evening, A-Ka packed up his things, carried a small bag, and asked Heishi who was lying on the bed: "The Pope said today is a holiday, and I want to go out for a stroll, come together?"

Heishi was silent for a moment, then nodded, and Aka went out with him to visit Dragonmaw City.

Dragon Throat City is very different from Phoenix City, everything they see is human.Moran gave A-Ka a sum of money, and A-Ka bought some of his favorite food here.He likes to eat butter pancakes from this continent, but he always thinks they are too expensive in Phoenix City, and he often buys them for Patsy, but he is reluctant to eat them himself.

He bought pancakes in front of the stall, and his saliva was about to flow down. When he handed them to Heishi, Heishi just glanced inexplicably.

Aka stood in front of the stall, gorging on food, fresh fruit, and the setting sun shining on the long street. He felt that if he could live like this every day in the future, he would be so happy.

Heishi said: "You like to stay with your kind very much."

"It's called being lively," Aka explained with a smile. "I once thought that when you return to Phoenix City, I must go shopping with you. Phoenix City is actually not bad, although it is not as good as Dragon Throat City."

Wearing a pair of sunglasses, Heishi stood side by side with A-Ka, passed by the market, there were many peddlers selling goods along the street, A-Ka stopped to watch curiously, and bought something for Paixi.

"Do you like this kind of life?" Aka asked.

"It's okay," Heishi thought for a while, and replied, "You like them because you are the same as them, but I am different from them."

Heishi seemed to talk a lot today, Aka explained with a smile: "If you treat yourself as a human being, maybe you won't feel lonely anymore."

"Perhaps." Heishi looked at the girl selling flowers on the side of the road with a strange expression, as if he couldn't figure out why they would pick off the genitals of plants growing in the wild and sell them to their own kind for a certain fee.A-Ka bought a small tuner and a signal transmitter, and when he looked up, he saw Heishi looking at the flower girl.

The girl's face was slightly flushed by Heishi, but she smiled and said, "Sir, do you need to buy a bunch of flowers?"

Heishi replied: "No."

A-Ka thought to himself what a boring guy, while he was bargaining with the boss, Heishi knelt down on one knee in front of another stall, which was a stall selling bracelets in the market.

"Need it, sir?" said the boss with a smile, "Just seven silver coins!"

Heishi picked up a bracelet and looked at the sunset. Aka squeezed over and asked, "Do you want this? I have money, so I'll buy it for you."

Heishi waved his hand and took out a small box from his jacket pocket. When he opened the box, there were several gold bullets of different lengths inserted in it.

"Is this for you?" Heishi replied, "I only want one."

The boss said: "This is a twin bracelet. It's a pair. It's not just for sale!"

Heishi replied: "Only one."

A-Ka was helpless, and said, "I want it all, and give me what I don't want."

Heishi glanced at A-Ka, then threw the gold bullet on the booth, picked up two bracelets, and threw one of them to A-Ka.

Aka thinks this guy's personality is really weird, but he hopes that if he gets along with humans in the future, he will gradually change a little.

They didn't know the way, and Heishi and A-Ka didn't know where to go, so they walked in the market one after the other.When the setting sun left a lavender shadow in the mountains in the distance, the bazaar was so noisy that criss-crossing lanterns were set up on the commercial street of Dragonmaw City. There were more and more people, so A-Ka had no choice but to lead Heishi's hand will not be scattered.

Aka suddenly thought of Heishi's character, as if he didn't like dealing with too many people, let alone crowded here, and asked Heishi, "I'm sorry, you don't like noisy places, do you?"

Heishi took off his sunglasses, glanced at A-Ka, and replied, "No."

Aka said: "Let's go back."

Heishi replied: "Really not, you like to stay here, it doesn't matter to me."

Aka's head was full of black lines, and he asked again: "Is there anything you want to see?"

Heishi replied: "No."

Aka: "..."

Aka actually yearns for this kind of warm city scene, which makes him feel beautiful and full of vitality, but Heishi obviously has no interest in all of this, and is just shopping with himself.

"Actually, you can't do this," Aka said, "otherwise, if we are not together, how will you live?"

Heishi's eyebrows furrowed beautifully, as if it was the first time he thought of this question.Aka smiled again and said, "You have to deal with humans, as long as you live in this world, don't you? I think you always don't like them."

"No," Blackstone replied, "human beings are almost like trees, birds, or insects to me."

Aka said: "So this is wrong, you are actually the same as human beings, aren't you?"

Heishi said: "Whatever."

Aka really lost to him and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go have dinner?"

Heishi is always irrelevant, but he is much gentler than when they first met, at least he won't always carry the hostility of not getting close to strangers.Aka found a restaurant on the platform and sat down with Heishi.

"What do you want to eat?" Aka asked.

"Whatever you want." Heishi was fascinated by the colorful street scene outside, and without thinking about it, he handed over the question of ordering food to Aka.

Aka had no choice but to order him the same thing as himself. He always wanted to eat in restaurants in Phoenix City, but he was always poor and had no chance.He often thought that when Heishi came, he must be taken out to see the human world and experience something he had never experienced before.

Now the wish is finally fulfilled, but it is in such a helpless and funny situation.

The waiter served them wine, lit candles, and A-Ka started cutting the steak with a knife and fork. Heishi watched for a while, picked up the steak with his fingers, and put it into his mouth like eating a biscuit.

Aka: "..."

Black Stone: "?"

A-Ka motioned him to put it down, and then helped him cut the steak into small pieces with a knife and fork. Heishi casually picked up a small piece of steak while looking outside, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Aka said: "Sometimes I'm always curious, you often don't speak, what are you thinking?"

"I think you just told me." Heishi said.

A-Ka asked, "In your eyes, am I no different from a tree or a bird?"

Heishi turned his head to the side and glanced at A-Ka. A-Ka seemed to have received the answer, and he let out a sigh of relief: "Okay."

He always thought that he was different to Heishi. After all, they had been together since they found him in the sea that day. After walking for so long, Heishi's attitude towards the rest seemed to be different from A-Ka's.

Aka said seriously: "For the Son of God and the savior, I don't expect to be treated differently from the flowers and trees... I just think that maybe I will die one day."

At this time, Heishi began to look directly at A-Ka.

"It will die, yes." Heishi nodded.

Aka said: "I don't know your body structure very well, maybe in terms of your identity, you are immortal?"

Heishi thought for a while and replied, "I don't know."

Aka said: "If you don't try to make friends, then...after I die, there will be no one to take care of you."

Aka said sympathetically: "Or if I died of illness, or... sacrificed. It doesn't matter to me, I will die when I die, and you may feel a little lonely."

Heishi also said sympathetically, "You should take care of yourself first."

A-Ka really wanted to drop the napkin and stop playing with him.However, thinking that Heishi is indeed very slow towards human beings, and of course he doesn't understand the bond between people, and finally think about it, he still doesn't care about him.

Heishi's hands were full of steak sauce, and at the end of the meal, he said, "I won't eat it, the taste is too strange."

"This taste can't be better, okay?" Aka said.

Heishi said: "I don't like eating raw."

Seeing that the steak was medium rare, Aka asked, "It tastes good, why don't you eat it raw."

"Living means that life is still on it." Heishi replied.

Sometimes A-Ka really doesn't know the logic of Black Stone, he said: "Don't give it to me, don't waste it."

Heishi pinched a piece of steak with his fingers and fed it into Aka's mouth. Aka was about to get up to pay the bill. After eating the steak, he sucked Heishi's finger to lick off the sauce. At that moment, Heishi's movements became a little stiff.

"You..." Heishi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"I'll go to pay the bill." A-Ka said.

Heishi's expression was a bit wrong, as if he was in a daze.Aka was bewildered, and waved his hand in front of Heishi, who immediately came back to his senses, rubbed his fingers together, and snapped his fingers.

Aka smiled and said, "You still know this?"

Heishi replied: "I saw grizzlies and they are all like this."

After Heishi settled the bill, the crowd on the street outside became even more crowded. Nearly tens of thousands of people flocked to this street, as if they were going to participate in some grand ceremony.There was a melodious flute sound under the night sky. It was a very famous ancient song "Shepherd's Spring".People downloaded music, sang and danced, followed the crowd, and flocked towards the huge square in front of the Holy See.

"Feiluo—" A-Ka shouted.

Fei Luo was tall, and Pixi was riding on his shoulders. Pixi was still blindfolded. Presumably Fei Luo was afraid that Pixi would be squeezed, so he let him ride on his shoulders.

"A-Ka!" Pai Xi keenly heard A-Ka's voice, and shouted, "Where are you?"

He turned his ear and identified A-Ka's position. The distance between the two sides was very far. A-Ka hurriedly said, "Carry me, Black Stone!"

Heishi turned sideways helplessly, and Aka climbed onto his back, shouting, "Fei Luo! You are here too!"

Fei Luo carried Pai Xi on his shoulders, and replied, "Don't come here! Aka! There are too many people!"

There were more and more people, Heishi was pushing Aka on his back, he walked forward involuntarily, and when he arrived at the square in the center of Xingchen Sacred Cult, all the lights were extinguished.

A-Ka shouted in surprise, and whispered, "Put me down, Heishi!"

Heishi and A-Ka held hands and stood on the edge of the square. The next moment, a vast Milky Way lit up in the sky, and the crowd cheered loudly.There seemed to be a strange magic power outside the temple. The stars rotated, forming various patterns, and then dimmed again.

"My people, happy Spring Festival." Molan appeared on the high platform, pressed his hands on the railing, and said down.

"May the wind and sun, rain and thunder, all living beings on this land, be able to grow..."

"May the clouds gather and disperse, just like our lives..."

Everyone took out small cups from their arms, and lit candles in the cups. The square was silent, only Moran's voice echoed in the elegant music.

"May life prosper..."

Moran prayed in a low voice, thousands of candle lights in the square reflected the faces of all the people, and they looked up at the Pope.

A-Ka looked left and right, he didn't buy candles to participate in such a grand ceremony just now, it was really a mistake, but Black Stone said: "Hold me, A-Ka."

Aka: "?"

Heishi stretched out his arm, and A-Ka hugged him. Then, with a "crash", Heishi shook off the metal wings on his back, flew into the sky, hovered over the temple, and fell lightly, sitting on a high place with A-Ka. on the railing.

"It's so beautiful!" Aka exclaimed.

Looking down from this low-rise building, there was a sea of ​​candlelight, and Moran stood in the light of the stars, praying in a low voice.

"Yeah." Heishi replied casually, put his foot on the railing, without looking down, and lowered his head to fiddle with the bracelet he just bought.

Moran's voice came from a distance, and A-Ka listened for a while, then turned his attention to Heishi's bracelet, and he found that Heishi was trying to inlay a piece of black onto the bracelet.

"Would you like to decorate it?" asked Akka.

The black stone didn't lift it up, and gave a vague "hmm", and A-Ka asked again: "Where did this thing come from?"

A-Ka leaned forward to look, and saw an obsidian-like crystal in Heishi's slender fingers, which seemed to be in the shape of the black iron feather that he spread out to fly.

"Get out of the way." Heishi said, "You are blocking the light."

Aka: "..."

A-Ka had no choice but to stand aside in boredom, Heishi raised his eyes to look at A-Ka, said nothing, and concentrated on setting his bracelet again.A-Ka watched for a while, and Moran's prayers could not be heard clearly in the distance, so he also took out the bracelet from his small bag, and welded a button-sized signal transmitter to the bracelet with a simple welder.

"Let me use it." Heishi said.

A-Ka had no choice but to lend him the welder. Heishi put his fingers against the welder and started welding directly. A-Ka said, "Be careful!"

A-Ka could even smell the burning smell. He hurriedly pulled Heishi's hand away, and found a black mark on his index finger, and hurriedly put it in his mouth to suck it. Heishi was stunned again, and then felt a little unnatural He wanted to withdraw his finger, but A-Ka didn't let go.

After a while, the black stone was pulled out, his face was a little red, and he asked, "Is this a sign of human beings?"

"No, it's just because you were injured." Aka said.

Heishi said: "I will heal myself."

Aka said angrily: "That can't be like this, don't you feel pain?!"

Heishi motioned A-Ka to look at his finger, it had healed as before, A-Ka really lost to him.

"It's ready." Hei Shi looked at the silver bracelet he made with satisfaction like a child, and seemed a little surprised, and said, "I can actually create."

Aka said unhappily: "Of course it will be created."

"Only you humans can create." Blackstone replied, "Except for humans, other species will not create, so the Creator has been looking for creative life."

"Really?" Aka vaguely noticed something, and asked again, "Can't other lives know it?"

"It needs to be given, or some kind of opportunity should be spontaneously generated." Heishi looked into the square again, and replied, "I don't know what it is, Father God has never left this message in my memory, maybe Even he doesn't know why intelligent life has the ability to create."

"Is it because of love?" A-Ka asked, "I have read in ancient poems and classics that love can stimulate people's desire to create."

Heishi did not answer, and after a while, Moran finished praying, and the crowd cheered. The ceremony seemed to be over, and the lights in the square went out again.

"Give it to you." Heishi and A-Ka said almost in unison.

At that moment, the expressions of A-Ka and Hei Shi were almost equally surprised, A-Ka was holding his bracelet, and Hei Shi was holding the other.

A-Ka couldn't help laughing, but Heishi was very serious, holding the bracelet with his fingers, and handed it to him.

A-Ka said, "Let me tie it on for you."

He took Heishi's hand and tied the bracelet on his strong wrist, but at this moment, there was a clear sound piercing the night sky in the distance.

A firework rose into the night sky with a bright trajectory, and the sharp sound instantly aroused the cheers of tens of thousands of people!

There was a loud bang, and the fireworks exploded, illuminating their faces, and A-Ka stared blankly at the night sky, ecstatic.

Heishi fastened the bracelet made for A-Ka, and the two looked up at the colorful fireworks blooming one after another in the night sky. A-Ka murmured, "It's so beautiful."

There are more and more fireworks, occupying the long dark night, the sky is shining like a dream, A-Ka looks up at the night sky, falling into the reverie of the brilliant bloom.

Heishi turned his head inadvertently, looking at A-Ka's face.A-Ka looked at it for a while, and found that Heishi was looking at him, so he also smiled at Heishi: "It's so beautiful! Have you seen it before? It's like... like..."

"The separation of the stars, the picture of the birth of the universe," Heishi replied, "Father God gave me this memory."

"Yes!" Aka said excitedly, "This metaphor is really apt!"

A-Ka and Hei Shi sat side by side, the fireworks lighting up the long night bloomed in front of them, A-Ka couldn't help turning his head to look at Hei Shi again.

"If one day we separate," Aka whispered, "will you miss me?"

Heishi stared at A-Ka, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.A-Ka looked at his black eyes and the brilliant and colorful light in his pupils, feeling that this was like a grand and bustling stage play.

There was a slight movement in his heart, and even he couldn't tell what it was driven by. He closed his eyes and felt the slight breath of Heishi.

Thousands of fireworks came and went one after another that night, lasting a full hour, illuminating Longmaw City like a white night.Until the end, everything returned to silence, and the fluorescent birds in late spring flew around the city, and the whole holy city gradually fell asleep, and the surroundings were quiet.

At the height of the Holy See, A-Ka leaned against Heishi and fell asleep.

In the twilight of the next morning, Heishi came out through the corridor, and Fei Luo stopped behind him.

"I'm not sure if you can do it." Fei Luo said, "But... Come on, Black Stone."

Heishi turned around, wearing a long windbreaker, his hands in mittens were lazily put in his pockets, at this moment, he stretched out a hand, wearing the silver bracelet that A-Ka gave him.

"Thank you." Heishi said in a deep voice.

Fei Luo and Heishi clapped their hands, and tightly clenched their fingers.

"Come back alive." Fei Luo said.

Heishi nodded and said, "I now realize that it's not bad to be a human being."

Fei Luo laughed and said, "You are indeed different from before."

Heishi whistled, turned and walked towards the temple.

At the same time, A-Ka put on his hat and came out of the room. When passing through the corridor, Pai Xi ran out from one side, hugging A-Ka tightly.

"Aka." Paisi said, "You must come back safely!"

A-Ka hugged Paixi tightly. He was wearing a shirt and trousers. In front of his rolled-up sleeves, on his bare wrist, he wore the bracelet Heishi gave him. A black drop of water was welded to the center of the silver bracelet. Shaped gemstones, emitting a faint purple light.

"Come on, too." A-Ka whispered.

He separated from Paixi and walked towards the temple, where he saw Black Stone waiting for him.

Several people walked into the temple. Moran was waiting for their arrival in the center of the temple. Bishop Igor closed the door.

Moran said: "Fero, Tsar and Grizzly have been teleported. After 5 minutes, I will mark you. You will be teleported to November last year and arrive at my side. At this time, the clone revolution is far away. There are still three days. I will assist you in the past to enter the city of machinery."

A-Ka waited for a long time until this moment, feeling an indescribable shock in his heart.In the magnificent hall, the light fell, and he and Heishi stood in front of Moran, as if a solemn and solemn ceremony was about to be held.

Aka took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I will try my best."

Moran said again: "Because I was not familiar with the terrain in the city of machinery in the past, and I didn't have the various entry commands required to open the passage, so... everything depends on you, Aka."

Heishi asked: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Aka said: "Can I ask Black Stone and I to help?"

"No," Molan's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Except for me in the past, you can't get too much existence. You can recall the day you escaped from the city of 'father', did you know that your future self came back? ?”

Aka immediately understood that he didn't know about this matter, that is to say, the two selves in the future and the past had never even met face to face.

"Not only can you not ask your past self for help," Moran said sternly, "you can't even let him see you, you must bypass him, and beware of all factors that may lead to the failure of the revolution. Everything you have done in the past Everything will cause a series of butterfly effects, and this effect is likely to cause everyone to get out of their own tracks."

A-Ka nodded and said, "What will happen if you are accidentally seen?"

Moran said solemnly: "It is very likely that there will be annihilation, or two countercurrents of energy will collide with each other, directly destroying the entire world."

A-Ka took a deep breath and said, "I understand, please start...Wait, it's not right!"

Aka deduced an inevitable result based on Moran's explanation. The current Moran marked the past Moran, and they all wore this ring on their hands. The rendezvous of Moran in the past...meaning, before that, Moran knew about their going back to the past!

"Before you got on the boat...you already knew me." A-Ka said tremblingly.

"Yes." Moran smiled, "We were friends before boarding the boat."

Aka's astonishment couldn't be overstated, and he asked again: "Then, is our mission successful?"

Moran said: "Whether your mission is successful or not does not mean that you don't need to work hard. On the contrary, if you fail, it will cause a change in time, and maybe everyone will be destroyed. No matter when and where, you have to work hard." , Aka."

"I see!" A-Ka replied, "Please begin!"

Moran said: "The process of being sent back to the past may make you a little uncomfortable. Hold on, Aka."

Moran turned the ring, a ray of light enveloped A-Ka, and with a "buzz", A-Ka disappeared immediately.

In the temple, Moran and Heishi were left standing face to face.

After Moran's ring sent Aka away, its light dimmed, waiting for the next charge.

Black Stone stared at the ground silently. During this brief silence, Moran said, "It takes three minutes to send you back, Holy Son."

Heishi nodded and said, "Will it affect Aka's body?"

"It's hard to say." Moran said, "I have never tried to activate Tidal Wish."

Heishi looked up at Moran, who was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've been curious about something, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Heishi just answered concisely.

Moran said: "According to the records in the Book of Stars, on the day when the astrolabe petri dish is about to be completely polluted, the Creator will send the Holy Son to perform the purification... In other words, your mission is actually..."

Heishi replied: "Clear all tasks on the petri dish."

Moran replied: "Yes, when I arrived in the Eastern Continent last year, I was very surprised when I saw you for the first time. It stands to reason that the order left by God the Father in your memory is to kill everyone, And end this experiment."

"Hmm." Blackstone replied, "What's the problem?"

Moran said: "What made you... decide to protect us humans and clones? I'm sorry, I don't intend to inquire about your thoughts..."

Blackstone fell into a long silence.

The light and shadow in the temple changed, Heishi raised his hand, and all the light gathered in an instant, interweaving into colorful pictures.

In front of the sea of ​​tulip flowers, the moonlight poured into the room through the window lattice, Heishi was lying on the bed, and Aka lay beside him, smiling and saying something to him.

"Because of A-Ka?" Moran asked calmly.

Heishi didn't speak any more, and wiped his hand in front of his body, the picture changed rapidly—

— At night in the holy city, tens of thousands of fireworks bloomed in the sky, and Aka smiled and handed him a bracelet.

—In the dusk of the Spring Festival, Aka stood on the street, devouring butter pancakes.

——Moonlight cast through the window lattice, Heishi was lying on the bed, and Aka was lying beside him, talking to himself.

—Under the dark sky of Phoenix City, Aka chased Heishi out, activated his propeller, hugged Heishi's waist among dozens of robot guards, and led him into the glass building, bursting out. Glittering fragments all over the sky.

—In the sewer of Phoenix City, A-Ka was lying weakly in Heishi's arms, holding his hand tightly.

——In the long night, the Black Sea is like the roaring mouth of a rolled giant beast. Heishi sits beside the reef, talking to the communicator alone, and the windbreaker is raised in the sea breeze.

——That day in the city of machinery, Heishi stood on a high platform, scanning the strange humans below the stage, all of them looked indifferent, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Wait!" A-Ka shouted, "It's me! The person this stranger is looking for is me!"

Moran watched the scene quietly without speaking.

—The tide of the Black Sea ebbs and flows, clouds disappear and clouds rise, the cover of the nutrition cabin is opened, and A-Ka hugs him cautiously with a surprised expression.

—A piece of blue light, like a vast ocean submerged him, and A-Ka's lonely voice walked into the ocean of "father"'s thinking.

"I hope to have someone to accompany me." A-Ka murmured, "It makes me not so lonely."

Heishi glanced at Moran, walked into the blue light without saying a word.The sea-like blue light turned into a gentle purple, and Moran's ring shot out a beam of light, covering the black stone.

"Because I like human beings, there are individuals like A-Ka in human beings." Heishi replied, and nodded to Molan. Molan put one hand on his shoulder and bowed to Heishi.

The figure of Heishi gradually faded and disappeared in the light.

—Fireworks came and went, flourishing in the sky. Under the fireworks, A-Ka closed his eyes, and Black Stone kissed him gently.
