Abyssal Kingdom

Wei An talked aimlessly for a while, then stopped, stared blankly, and looked at his phone again.

There is a video left by the skull hard disk inside. Wei An wants to watch it from beginning to end when he returns home. What those private soldiers stationed in the dark city deep in the space must have seen is amazing.

He also needs to investigate the identity of the leader of the private soldiers who command the army below, and open the "safe" below, the sooner the better.

Gui Ling should have found his contract upgrade program, he seemed in a good mood before... Wei An put this thought aside, he didn't want to think about these things, it had nothing to do with his "good life".

When the sentry post is lifted, he can take a walk with Gui Ling, and then have dinner outside.

It had just rained and was great for a walk.

Wei An first saw it in a travel brochure, which said that many street trees in Taoyuan were in bloom, and the ground turned pink after the rain. Taking a walk will make people feel that everything is beautiful.

At this moment, Wei An heard someone calling his name.

He turned his head. It was a few local friends he had met in the hotel before. It was too easy to meet acquaintances in such a big place.

The group of four who came over included Cheng Fangding, another local old acquaintance of Wei An, in addition to those who were at the auction before.

Xing Fan, who was walking in front, yelled, "I looked like you when I was upstairs, so it's true!"

Wei An smiled and got up to say hello.

When he smiled like this, it was like putting on a familiar dress, knowing what to say and what kind of attitude he had.

Everyone was talking about the horrible thing that just happened, and when friends got together, of course they had to talk about it.

Wei An then sighed a few words, and noticed another local dude who was with Xingfan before, He Lihan.

When Wei An was watching the video, he noticed the logo of the club where the head of the private army was. He knew it was called "Life Elsewhere".

In the wealthy circle, people who like this kind of thing form their own circle. They are keen on all kinds of activities such as outdoor sports, self-driving trips, racing cars and mechanical transformation. He Lihan is one of them.

According to Wei An, he is running an amateur racing club with a group of friends. The level cannot be said to be high, but he is rich.

Even if this kind of person is not a member of "Living Elsewhere", he must have relevant contacts.

He Lihan made an appointment with a person called "Arc Club" on this trip, and if something like this happened, he had to reschedule the meeting time.

Wei An casually mentioned it, and said to him: "Today's event is really unexpected. I was planning to go to 'live elsewhere', but now I don't have any thoughts."

He Lihan glanced at him unexpectedly.

"'Live elsewhere'?" the man said, "Why do you want them, they are mainly from the military over there."

"Yes, it's still a senior membership system, and it's hard to find people," Wei An said.

"If you want to engage in racing, you can come to our 'Arc', there is everything here—" He Lihan said, "But I remember that you are not someone who is interested in such things, you always prefer to stay at home , do some elegant activities... Wow, you didn't get dumped by Xiaotong, so you are going to change your image?"

Wei An sighed, He Lihan was talking about an inexplicable interpersonal relationship in Wei An's local area, and he didn't know how it developed.

The other party is Xing Fan's older sister. In fact, the other party's parents wanted to match her up. Not many people know about it, but since she fell in love with a "mysterious bad man" car repair shop owner a month ago and dumped Wei An , things became known immediately.

Now wherever Wei An goes, someone will pat him on the shoulder and say something like "You are a good person" sadly, which is really annoying.

Wei An said dryly, "We don't count as being together."

"I know, I know," He Lihan said, "You are a good person, one day you will meet someone who knows how you are, it's only a matter of time!"

"Yes, yes, it's a matter of time!" Xing Fan also said.

Wei An gave up explaining and accepted the setting of this good man who was hurt by love.

"It's not me, it's my friend racing," he said.

He pointed to Gui Ling behind him.

"He has been playing with this before, and he can also do engine modification, which is quite professional," Wei An said, making it up casually, "I want to take him to see it."

He Lihan looked at Guiling, as if he was weighing his status, ordinary bodyguards don't know how to play racing cars.

"If you're interested," He Lihan said to Wei An, "there will be an underground race meeting next week, which can be regarded as a big event in the circle. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"Underground racing?" Wei An said.

"Well, on the other side of the Xihe River, it used to be the ruins of the ancient city. The track was changed later, and now you can still see large dilapidated palaces, sacrificial pools, sky towers and so on. The scenery of the track is particularly spectacular. There are ten Five sharp turns—" He Lihan said.

When it comes to personal hobbies, he talks a lot.

"You must go and see that track. It is not only the best road in Taoyuan, but also ranked first in the whole country. There are many buildings of the dark age along the way. When you pass by, you will have a sense of historical immersion, that kind of grandeur. and piety are absent in modern times..." he said.

"Sounds great," Wayne said.

"It's awesome!"

In this way, Wei An said that he really wanted to see it, and He Lihan happily said that he would send him an invitation letter and the location of the venue later.

Wei An is very satisfied with this progress.

No matter how troublesome Taoyuan's conspiracy is, it is also a battlefield for the police, large organizations and ancient families, and what I need is to open the space lock as soon as possible.

The "golden coupon" is what he needs to pay attention to the most.

Ciro stood in a corner and listened to their chat for a while, but he looked disinterested.

He turned his head and said to Guiling: "You like racing cars. I have some nice cars. I'm going for a ride with some friends tomorrow. Come and help me drive one. If you win, I'll give you the car."

As a well-dressed rich man with a chaotic life, he is very proficient in doing this kind of thing. Wei An doesn't like the tone of his conversation with Gui Ling, and it's even more annoying to come back from the sinking city.

"He won't go." Wei An said.

"Just to get to know him, I won't do anything to him." Xi Luo said, smiling at Guiling, "Even if there is anything, everyone is already an adult, how do you know he doesn't like it, he has to let him Decide--"

"he does not like."

Ciro turned his head and stared at him, Wei An returned the look of "I have the final say on this matter".

There was noise from a corner of the square, the sentry post was opened, the crowd began to disperse in an orderly manner, and people from outside poured in, Wei An smiled.

"Let's go first," he said, "I won't participate in any plans you have—"

"I knew it," Ciro said, "you go to bed!"

There was a moment of silence around, and Wei An was too shocked to say anything for a while.

"It must have been in bed, that's the only explanation," Ciro continued, with a firm tone, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to have this attitude. I've been thinking about this question, so friends won't be like you. You have to take care of things like this— —”

This inference made Wei An feel a little uncomfortable when he spoke again. Hearing his name and Guiling put together in this way made people feel frightened.

"What are you talking about? Of course I have to take care of this kind of thing," Wei An said, "Do you think I don't know what you want to do by asking him out?"

"I admit that I'm not a very good lover, but even if I want to do something, it's a better way out for him than just being your bodyguard."

At this moment, Wei An's other friends also reacted.

"Stop talking, Wei An slept with someone, how is that possible!" Xing Fan said.

"Yes, Wei An just doesn't want you to trouble his friends," Cheng Fangding also said, "You are not only 'not a very good lover', who doesn't know what you have done, the last time you took your cohabitant All my luggage was thrown down from the twentieth floor, and it was Wei An who gave money to return home."

"That's right, it's obvious, how could Wei An fall in love with someone!" He Lihan said.

Wei An thought to himself, although Xi Luo's words were crazy, what did they mean?obvious what?Why are they acting like someone like me can never have sex.

His friends continued to discuss his love life.

Cheng Fangding nodded and said, "It's hard for me to believe that people like Wei An are in love..."

"Yes, Wei An is a good man and treats everyone well, but I don't believe who he will sleep with." He Lihan said.

"It must have gone to bed," Ciro said. "Otherwise, there is no explanation. I just asked his bodyguard. He even takes care of this kind of thing, as if he is his private property—"

"Wei An won't sleep with bodyguards," Xing Fan said, "He's just...just..."

"It's perfect!" He Lihan said.

Ciro was very unconvinced, and a group of people explained to him that he thought so because he didn't understand how good Wei An was.

"Like Xiaotong dumped him and found the boss of a car repair shop, most people would definitely say something bad behind his back, but Wei An never said anything." Cheng Fangding said, "And...seriously, I Personal life is still relatively restrained, because there are people in front of me, but even so, it is inevitable that there will be some situations where you throw yourself into your arms and it is difficult to refuse—"

"There's no 'inevitable encounter'," said Ciro, "the one in front of you is an indentured slave, and he can't do anything to you."

Cheng Fangding showed a smile. A slave contract is an act of giving up personal rights through a contract. Of course it is illegal, but if you sign it, it means that you are willing to do something, and the relevant agencies will not care too much about you when the accident happens.

His indentured slave was a senior in college, his idol back then, and the contract was only signed when something happened to his family's business. Cheng Fangding spent a lot of money at that time.The relationship had been nearly ten years, which, he said, was pretty faithful in a situation like this.

"I don't want to make him angry," Cheng Fangding said, "I don't want to say this, I just want to say, men, there are always needs in this regard, but I have never seen Wei An with anyone, I know someone is interested in him , there are men and women, I have never heard of anyone who succeeded—"

He said a few names, two of which Wei An didn't even know.

"Even if most people don't want to settle down, they don't even have an occasional bed partner. Wei An doesn't have one," Cheng Fangding said. "He has always lived alone in a big house. Don't lose your temper..."

"He is the kind of person in spy movies, living a life so elegant that it is unreal!" He Lihan said.

"There are also films about alien invasions, the ones with aliens in disguise, but I always feel that the aliens in it are quite obvious—" Xing Fan said.

He was talking about a recent series about how some bloodthirsty aliens who destroyed their own planet pretended to be humans and invaded the world.These things are extremely cruel, they will torture people to death, and they will be carefully disassembled to study how to camouflage.But they are too fake in terms of human nature and are easy to be discovered. It is conceivable that they learned a deeper camouflage in the following plot.

When talking, Xingfan turned his head to look at Wei An for a moment, he still had a smile on his face, but there was not so much smile in his eyes, and there was a trace of doubt, maybe he didn't notice it himself.

Wei An felt his identity loosen.

Very tiny, but loose.

When Wei An just retired, he boarded a pirate ship in order to clean up his schedule.

He won money playing cards with them all the way, and he seemed to have a good relationship, but once someone had doubts about his identity, he immediately killed everyone, and even the ship was destroyed without a single screw left.

He is reckless throughout the whole process, and has no such thing as reason at all.

He still remembers the feeling he felt when he watched the spaceship and the corpses in it burn, it was a completely abnormal excitement, a malicious joy.

Then he saw his face reflected in the reinforced glass, his expression...

He quickly leaves the window.

He thought again of the biochips in his body, not the regular recording devices in the bodies of senior government workers, but a perfected version of the days of slavery, older, more... "traditional", and who knows what happened in those traditions .

He thought of what he had done for so many years, his "fate"...

Wei An no longer thinks about it, he has to ignore it to think.

He turned on the terminal and began to search for "what are the livable places in the Federation".He read a lot of materials day and night, he didn't recall, almost didn't eat, and never looked in the mirror, he finally chose Taoyuan.

He came here, bought land, renovated houses, designed gardens, attended parties, made friends, and did various charity activities.

He knew the rules of the set, about the dreamy good life, the sun, the house, the garden, friends, maybe a family, always.

He knew it was impossible for him to have it in his life, but he got it in the end.

He is very sure of one thing, he must be the person he is now.

There is no other way, no other way.

When Wei An was thinking about these questions, he always had a smile on his face, a gentle expression that grew deep into his bones.

His hands are clean now, and he stands on the edge of the square as an ordinary person. In his life, he has friends, hobbies, charity and the identity of a good person, and maybe he can have a lover... Love, that is always discussed in this kind of life and the core of imagination.

It makes everything more perfect, more solid, and indistinguishable from someone who actually lives this life.

He turned to look at Gui Ling.

The man stared at the ground in a daze. He didn't belong to this kind of place, and he didn't participate in the communication with his friends.

This creature was nailed to an eternal place by the violent power of ancient civilization. Although it is now wearing ordinary clothes and its long hair is cut short, this almost divine indifference has faded into a faintly visible charm, which cannot be seen Transparent, but itchy.Just look at the face, it is very face-saving to show off.

Wei An smiled.

He knew that his actions were crazy, but at this moment he took it for granted that the tomb belonged to him, no matter what it was used for in the past, what kind of secrets and past it was, it was in his hands anyway, of course he wanted to Use it as you like, and of course the most useful thing now is his happy and perfect life.

"We are together." Wei An said.

"Damn it, it's real!" Xing Fan said.

"I'll just say it!" Ciro said.

Wei An stood in a corner of the square with a gentle smile, and everyone's attention was shifted to the emotional news, and he blended perfectly into it.

Gui Ling looked at him, moved a little, wondering if he wanted to say something, Wei An pressed his shoulder.

He pressed so hard that he could feel the warmth of his body under his palms, and his fingertips sunk into the skin.This is not a friendly touch, but an imperative touch, and he cannot break away.

Wei An smiled like a spring breeze to his group of local friends, like the happiest people in the world.

"We haven't been together for too long, it's just recently." He said.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, his friends yelled, some congratulated, some asked how they got together, and some said they didn't see him being so active.

Wei An stood there with a smile, as if he was completely integrated into the beautiful life.

Gui Ling didn't move in the end, just stood there with a gloomy face in this joyful atmosphere.
