Lin Xiaoming finally confirmed that all the files were sent correctly, and closed the virtual screen of the terminal.

He sent all the information he got from the mechanical planet to the Federation, and then collected the collected signals and transmitted them. Once Nicola received them, he only needed to use the agreed dynamic key to break the encryption and get the contents of it.

The spaceship was speeding through the space. Looking from the porthole, the battlefield between humans and the Dogon people was already far away. The fierce artillery fire and the light of the explosion could not be clearly seen. Looking from a distance, there was an unspeakable sense of separation.

Just like he is now with this spaceship, he has become the existence of two completely different camps.

"Next order, No. 142, Jinhai Road, Yanzhou S District, Miller Star Mine, on the southern wing of the Rose Galaxy."

A gentle female voice sounded, Lin Xiaoming looked away and looked in the direction of the sound.

The courier was sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the main console, with several courier boxes marked with the World company in his hand. He lowered his head to check the tracking number on the box, reached out to pick up the mug from the low table next to it, and put the mug Raise it above your head.

Starting from the top, the courier's head was split into two halves. Inside the skull was not a white brain, but a big mouth like a piranha, without any exposed muscle tissue or blood vessels.

It poured the brown liquid from the cup into it, then closed its head again, sighing in satisfaction from the mouth that grew on its face.

Lin Xiaoming was shocked when he saw this scene for the first time, but soon he realized that the courier is a different species from them.

It is normal for there to be many different species in the vast universe, and humans are just one of the most common ones. So far, the Dogons and the Mila people have had friction with humans.

However, because there is something wrong with the mother's nest of the Mira people, they are focusing on solving their own internal conflicts, and there has been no other movement for a hundred years.

An hour and a half ago, Lin Xiaoming was walking on the rainy desolate star with Lu Jinchao on his back, and the courier appeared in front of him like a ghost out of thin air, holding the box and asking Lu Jinchao to sign for the delivery, but now Lu Jinchao said nothing. After signing, I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes.

So at Lin Xiaoming's suggestion, the courier took them to the carrier spacecraft, and was going to let Lu Jinchao wake up before he would sign for it.

During the short break when the courier finished his work, Lin Xiaoming tentatively asked the courier some information about it and World Company. The other party had a good personality and told him directly.

Sure enough, couriers are a species that is completely unfamiliar to humans so far. Their self-proclaimed words cannot be spoken in human language, and their body structure and form of existence are completely different from all other species discovered by humans.

Now Lin Xiaoming sees that the courier looks like a human youth, just because his work requires mimicry.

They are much higher than humans and Dogons, and have no interest in naive territorial scrambles. After all, the entire space is their territory, and they are everywhere.

I don't know when, they started to take charge of the Fed's express delivery industry in the name of World Corporation, and received some remuneration that humans didn't care about.

Everyone knows that World is a pretty amazing courier company. No matter where you buy something from or where you are, the courier can deliver it to the consignee at the fastest speed.

Few people see the company's couriers, because they usually leave the courier in a place where the recipient must see it, unless there are special requirements.

This is the first time in Lin Xiaoming's life that he has had close contact with World Company, and he never thought that the truth is so amazing.

What's even more amazing is that they were taken onto the company's spaceship by couriers when they were most desperate.

I must thank the kind person who sent a courier to Lu Jinchao.

Lin Xiaoming stood up and put the information collection device away. The courier had no interest in it.

Whether the war between the Dogon people and humans wins or loses has nothing to do with them, as long as they can continue to deliver express delivery.

There is an artificial intelligence on the spacecraft to assist the courier. Lin Xiaoming imitated the courier and tried to shout: "Hello?"

"Hello, may I help you?" A soft female voice sounded from the side, and an electric toothbrush jumped out of the cabinet next to it and came to the small table in front of Lin Xiaoming.

Lin Xiaoming: "I want some ointment that can promote wound healing."

"Please wait a moment." The electric toothbrush jumped up on the spot, and a cylindrical ointment was exposed where the battery should have been installed.

Lin Xiaoming picked it up and looked at it. Both the name of the drug and the instruction manual were written in words that he could not understand at all.

Lin Xiaoming: "Can you tell me about its efficacy?"

Electric toothbrush: "Accelerates wound healing, preserves nerve sensitivity, removes scars, promotes growth of amputated limbs."

Lin Xiaoming nodded and said, "Thank you."

Electric toothbrush: "You're welcome, I'm glad to serve you. Please rate my service. If you are very satisfied, please press 1. If you are satisfied, please press 2. If you are basically satisfied, please press 3. For complaints, please hang up."

Lin Xiaoming couldn't find the 123 buttons, so he said "very satisfied", got up and went to the room where Lu Jinchao was resting.

The sensor door of the lounge opened automatically, and Lu Jin was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

Lin Xiaoming sat lightly on the edge of the bed. As soon as he got on the spaceship, he helped Lu Jinchao clean up his body as quickly as possible, mainly the injured right leg.

Lu Jinchao found him from his hiding place, and dragged him all the way to the subway station. The injury to his entire leg was extremely serious, and the broken bones had already pierced the flesh.

In line with the professional ethics of not letting customers die on the spaceship, the courier used the healing system on the spaceship to help a little, so Lin Xiaoming watched Lu Jinchao's leg recover to its original state within 10 minutes.

Sure enough, it is a civilization that is much higher than human beings.

Lin Xiaoming put one hand on the side of the pillow, leaned slightly to look at Lu Jinchao, he had carefully wiped the guide's body clean, and changed out of the blood and sandy clothes.

There were a few small bloodstains on Lu Jin's face, which were probably scratched when the spaceship crashed, and there were some ambiguous hickey marks and tooth marks on his neck, which stretched all the way to the inside of his collar.

Lin Xiaoming stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, he was relieved that the heat had receded.

"Um……"

The guide who was in a light sleep was startled, his brows were wrinkled, and he slowly opened his eyes after a few seconds.

The consciousness gradually became clear, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Xiaoming sitting beside him. The existence of the spiritual link made Lu Jinchao stunned for a while.

Unlike the temporary link, in addition to things like emotional and spiritual power, he can also feel more from the sentinel, for example... the joy and love that cannot be expressed, like warm water, filled every corner of his body.

"how do you feel?"

"It's okay." Lu Jinchao's voice was hoarse. He was in good spirits, but a little weak.

He swallowed hard, his mouth was cleaned, his whole body was refreshed, and his broken leg didn't feel any pain.

Lu Jin returned to the scene, and adjusted the reduced pain again. As expected, his leg was fine, but another strong strange feeling immediately made him wrinkle his face and let out an ouch.

Those memories are extremely clear in my mind: he and Lin Xiaoming did it in the abandoned subway station.

Painful, but after the initial period, it was brought into the rhythm of combined heat.

Lin Xiaoming has been trying his best to comfort him and take care of his feelings, kisses keep falling, even in the deserted and empty underground, he hugs him as much as possible, conveying the body temperature.

At a temperature that is high enough to kill people, all feelings are magnified, reason disappears in the burning, and only the person next to him remains in the whole world.

Lu Jinchao had never thought that the combination of the two would happen in such a situation before, but when he thought that he had just melted the icy chains running through the tower and rescued the sentinel from the closed attic, the only thing left in his heart was Ritual-like satisfaction.

They endured for so long and used the most anticipated thing to save each other's life. It may seem embarrassing to many people, but to Lu Jinchao, it is full of sense of accomplishment.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Xiaoming touched his face, "I asked for some ointment, let me deal with it for you."

Lu Jinchao understood what he meant, but was still a little shy after all, and hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."

Lin Xiaoming didn't insist, and handed the ointment to Lu Jinchao. The guide habitually read the instructions above, and the unrecognizable words made him frown uncontrollably.

Lin Xiaoming: "This is the text from the courier's side. I asked, and it should be safe enough."

Lu Jin nodded, and no longer doubted anything. He was in a semi-conscious state at the time, but he also knew what happened through the spiritual link. On the barren star occupied by the Dogon, the courier rescued the two people who were desperate , I feel miraculous when I think about it.

Lu Jinchao took off his clothes under the quilt, covered it tightly, and applied medicine to himself. Lin Xiaoming did not leave. He noticed the corners of the guide's lips and tense muscles when he was in pain, and his heart was full of guilt.

Obviously their combination should be better, although Lu Jinchao didn't care, but he owed too much.

Without words, all the gratitude and shame were transmitted through the spiritual link. Lu Jinchao looked up at him, and quickly put the medicine on. Lin Xiaoming handed him a tissue in time to wipe his hands.

"Don't think like that." Lu Jinchao wiped every finger clean, patted the back of Lin Xiaoming's hand, and said lightly, "You still have a lifetime to make up for me."

"By the way, you're injured too." The guide sat up and put a pillow behind his waist. "It's best to take some medicine too."

Lin Xiaoming: "I haven't."

"Don't lie, the effect of force is mutual, and you are not made of iron." Lu Jin smiled in his eyes, "Don't be shy in front of the doctor, show me."

Lin Xiaoming sighed silently, and showed Lu Jin to look.

The two lowered their heads, and after a few seconds of silence, Lu Jin said, "Oh."

Sure enough, intimate contact with insufficient preparation will only cause mutual harm... Just looking at Lu Jinchao can feel the illusory pain in front of him. He carefully wiped his hands with alcohol face pads and applied medicine to Lin Xiaoming.

In addition to conveying feelings and thoughts, the spiritual link can also convey the senses. When Lu Jinchao realized that he was really feeling the same pain, he immediately turned off the link sensor.

Huh?So before he had a sore back and leg pain, Xiao Ming was also suffering with him?

Lu Jin ran towards the wilder direction of his thoughts, and the movements of his hands were crisp and neat, and quickly helped Lin Xiaoming apply the medicine. If the reaction of the sentinel was ignored, everything went well.

Of course, it is impossible to do anything in this situation now. Just seeing Lin Xiaoming’s uncontrollable physiological reaction, Lu Jinchao felt pain for him. He couldn’t help but want to laugh, but also felt that something was wrong, so he could only try his best to suppress it. with.

After applying the medicine, Lu Jinchao flicked it on it: "Okay."

I heard Lin Xiaoming gasp.

"He's 50 or [-] years old, why is he still so restless." Lu Jinchao put the ointment away on the bedside table, and looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "You think so, uncle?"

"I'm not that old yet."

Lin Xiaoming knew that he would eventually talk about his identity. He never thought of telling Lu Jinchao about his rebirth. It was the failure and embarrassment he wanted to get rid of. He didn't want Lu Jinchao to see Lin Xiaoming in his previous life. That cruel, terrifying, withdrawn and ridiculous Lin Xiaoming was completely opposite to the present one.

Those shameful and painful memories turned into chains and imprisoned him firmly, and he couldn't move a step.

In the dark and small attic, he knew everything that happened in the mechanical city, and felt the cool and moist rain falling again and again. The guide wandered through every corner of the city, but he couldn't leave to face Lu Jinchao.

But Lu Jinchao accepted him.

This is something Lin Xiaoming didn't dare to think about. After all, in the eyes of many people, his concealment may be a deception.

"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it." Lu Jin moved to the side to make room for Lin Xiaoming, and the two of them lay on the same bed together, just like countless times at home, chatting before going to bed , "How could such an outrageous thing like rebirth happen?"

Lin Xiaoming: "If I told you this before, what would you think?"

"I should think that your head is broken, you haven't woken up, or you have read too many novels." Lu Jinchao paused, and said, "I didn't get excited at all when I realized that you were actually a dark sentinel."

In the final analysis, all Lin Xiaoming's concealment from Lu Jinchao was rebirth and the Dark Sentinel.

Lu Jinchao thought about it carefully. In fact, Lin Xiaoming had hinted at the identity of the Dark Sentinel in many ways before: he didn't need a guide to guide him, he was indifferent to many disturbing information, and his mental power was even stronger than the guide... However, because the Dark Sentinel was too rare, Lu Jinchao never thought about it.

Now the two are completely frank, and the spiritual link tells all the secrets to each other, and they accept each other unconditionally from the depths of their souls.

There is no need for sticky love words, just lying together like this is enough to understand what the other person is thinking, and quickly calm down wholeheartedly. After the union, nothing seems to have changed, and it seems that there are really many differences.

Lu Jin fainted for a while, and now he wakes up in good spirits, and begins to observe the spaceship of World Corporation.

"By the way, this is your courier." Lin Xiaoming picked up the box from the ground and handed it to Lu Jinchao.

Lu Jinchao weighed it, it wasn't very heavy, it was shaking and empty, it sounded like a small thing.

He opened the box and took out a book from it.

The book is very small, a little bigger than a palm, and it looks more like a phone book from the old land period. Although it is well preserved, it should be old from the color.

Lu Jinchao opened the book, and both sides were blank.

He frowned, and flipped through a few pages, but there was not a single word on it.

He looked again at the courier box that saved his and Lin Xiaoming's lives. The courier slip clearly stated the sender: Liu Tiehua.

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, what did Liu Tiehua send him?

He realized something, picked up the book again, closed his eyes, and used his mental power to perceive.

In the world of the spiritual realm, the gray paper pages are emerging with fonts as the spiritual power condenses.

That's a whole lot of names.

Lu Jin flipped through the pages, all of which were full of names, but couldn't find any patterns.

This is a roster.

Intuition told Lu Jinchao that it might be the list of the Holy Family back then.

It's just that after reading the entire book, Lu Jinchao found that the list does not share a common surname like other families, or that the direct descendants and core members are listed at the top like genealogy, it is actually arranged in alphabetical order.

Is this really a family list?Why does it look like the people inside have no blood relationship at all?

More like... some kind of organization.

Lu Jinchao frowned, and some kind of speculation vaguely appeared in his heart, but a single roster was not enough to verify it. He handed the roster to Lin Xiaoming, and fell into deep thought when the other party browsed through it with mental power.

Liu Tiehua should have known what kind of predicament they were facing, so she sent things at a critical moment, and even used the door-to-door service, so that the courier rescued them easily.

It is not surprising that it will know, after all, Liu Tiehua can swim freely in the online world, and the whole world has no secrets for it.

It sent a roster, does it mean some kind of recognition?I agree that I have the qualifications to find the footprints of the Holy Family.

"The spaceship is about to pass through Gate 172. Passengers, please keep still to prevent falls. Countdown to crossing, 10, 9, 8..."

The sudden female voice brought back Lu Jinchao's thoughts, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, realizing that it was the artificial intelligence of the spaceship.

Gate 172?What is this?

The countdown counted down, and at the moment the final "1" voice fell, all the sounds disappeared.

Lu Jinchao felt that his whole body was suddenly plunged into some kind of alien space. He lost his judgment on color and shape, and everything around him was distorted, showing colorful colors. Was thrown into the interior of the kaleidoscope.

After ten seconds, this state is lifted.

Everything is back to normal.

"I have passed through Gate 172 and reached the southern wing of the Rose Galaxy."

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and immediately question marks appeared in his head.

The southern wing of the Rose Galaxy?When they boarded the ship, they were on the desolate star on the border of No. 23, and the Rose galaxy is separated from the border of No. 23 by more than a dozen large galaxies. It would take at least half a month to use the fastest space jump spacecraft. How could it be possible? Arrived here in a blink of an eye? !

He and Lin Xiaoming looked at each other, and also saw the unconcealable surprise in the sentinel's eyes.

"You two look very surprised." The door of the lounge slid open to the side, and the courier walked in. Its appearance was so ordinary that one wondered if it was collected with a large amount of human data and used A look at the fitted mean.

"Have we reached the Rose Galaxy yet?"

"Yes, it is now on the southern wing of the Rose Galaxy." The courier stood in place, and several dark soft tentacles quickly grew out of his tailbone, weaving them into a high chair.

The courier just sat on the chair formed by his body and said, "Maybe it is difficult for humans to understand, but have you ever wondered why our company's courier delivery is so fast?"

Lin Xiaoming: "Have you mastered the lossless space door technology?"

"It's been there a long time ago. Strictly speaking, it's been so long that it's almost eliminated." The courier seemed unwilling to talk too much, "I still have to go to work, and I came here to remind you two that since I saved you Come up, should you give me some due reward?"

"What do you need?" Lu Jinchao didn't feel that the much more advanced and mysterious courier in front of him needed money or other vulgar things, "If we can do it, we will give you enough reward."

"I want some emotions." The courier paused, and faced the surprised eyes of the two, he explained, "Laugh, cry, anger, fear, annoyance, remorse, fanaticism...anything is fine, for you humans Say, it should be easy."

It was only then that Lu Jin noticed that the courier had no expression on his face from the beginning to the end. He was a guide and could keenly sense the emotions around him. However, beside the courier, there was only a pool of stagnant water without fluctuation.

Compared with a living individual, it is more like a machine, or in the long-term evolution, emotions, which affect the efficiency of life, have been eliminated.

It is indeed very easy for them to provide all emotions, Lu Jinchao asked: "How do we need to provide it to you?"

"Use this." The robotic arm stretched out and handed them a stack of transparent paper. The paper is semi-transparent, the size of a palm, and its texture is like some kind of oil-absorbing paper. It’s ok when the color doesn’t change anymore.”

Lin Xiaoming took one and put it on his arm. Lu Jinchao clearly saw that the translucent paper turned into a warm milky white in just a few seconds, and the texture became harder as well.

"Wow." The courier used the tone of surprise in a flat tone. He didn't even widen his eyes. Give me some more different types of emotions. In return, I can answer some of your interesting questions."

It's not too much trouble.Lu Jin nodded, "Okay."

He took a piece of paper and put it in his palm, and a few seconds later, he also got the same milky white finished product as Lin Xiaoming.

The emotion called happiness.

Lu Jinchao tried to think of something funny, and after a short deliberation, he picked up another piece of paper and watched it slowly turn bright light yellow.

A touch of melancholy is light blue, ecstasy and fanaticism are similar fiery red, fear is black, resentment is dark green, annoyance is gray, lighthearted and happy are like oranges, and full of love is a magnificent color that flows and changes.

He and Lin Xiaoming quickly used up the stack of papers given to them by the robotic arm. Compared with Lu Jinchao who experimented with many different emotions, Lin Xiaoming produced a lot of milky white happiness, the precious emotion most wanted by couriers.

The courier took the colorful papers and immediately stuck a red one on his arm.

It laughed out loud, and its face, which had never shown any expression, was beaming, and the whole person instantly came alive.

The courier was obviously very happy, and it took out another dark blue mourning sheet, stuck it on the other arm, and immediately shed two lines of tears.

It laughed wildly while crying bitterly, retracted the high chair made of tentacles around its waist, and walked out of the lounge.

The door was closed, and the continuous intertwined haha ​​whining sound could still be heard.

Lu Jinchao: ……………

Lin Xiaoming: ……………

"Thank you very much for the emotions provided by the two guests." The table lamp twisted its neck, pointed the lampshade at the two, and the light lit up, like a smile on the corner of the lips, "As a reward, I can answer some questions from you two .”

"Are you the artificial intelligence on this ship?"

The female voice said softly: "Yes, each of the company's carrier spacecraft is equipped with a special artificial intelligence. My name cannot be pronounced in human language, but the two of you can call me crooked. I have opened the authority for the two of you. If there is anything you want to know, you can search for terms.”

The virtual screen unfolded in front of the eyes, and the spiritual link allowed the two to share their thoughts. Lin Xiaoming stretched out his hand and entered "door" in the search box.

Gate: Also known as space gate, the first space gate was produced in the particle overspeed collision experiment in UDJE in the star calendar ████. In the following 400 years, 670 four gates formed the interstellar ring network, connecting the universe every corner of the

The door exists in the form of an energy cluster, which can only be opened with a special key, and is currently owned by World Corporation.

"If possible……"

Lu Jinchao didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Xiaoming understood what he meant. The existence of the gate completely solved the communication and travel problems caused by the vastness of the star field. If human beings can also have the same technology, it is equivalent to solving it directly from the source. The problem of extremely unbalanced development and resources among regions has been solved.

You must know that Lu Jinchao has been thinking about this problem since a long time, and now that a perfect solution appears in front of him, he can't even restrain his excitement.

Tranquility and composure came through the spiritual link, stabilizing Lu Jinchao's mood.Lin Xiaoming is much calmer. If he wants to use the door, he must obtain a license or technology from World Company. This process alone is full of difficulties.

Lu Jinchao calmed down. Yes, after all, it is the technology of other species. Humans need to negotiate with World Company at least if they want to use it. Even if the other party agrees, they still need to pay a very high rental fee.

Besides, the Federation is now in chaos. It is not a good idea to make the existence of the gate public at this point in time.

At least wait until everything is stable before thinking about how to build it more perfectly.

"Excuse me, do you know any other artificial intelligence?" Lu Jinchao asked the desk lamp on the bedside table. Since the World company has many secrets, he wants to ask as many as possible. I have encountered remnants of artificial intelligence elsewhere, and they believe in gods."

The desk lamp's answer was unexpected: "God does exist, but it has been dead for a long time, no matter how hard you search, it is impossible to find it."

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, the god of artificial intelligence...is dead?

I know every word, but the combined words become difficult to understand, just like the booklet sent by Liu Tiehua in my hand, elusive.

"Is it related to the Holy Family?"

"Have."

"So how do I find the Holy Family?"

"It's very simple. According to the words of you humans, it's just waiting for a predestined person." The desk lamp paused, "And now, that predestined person has appeared."

The bed beneath him suddenly disappeared.

Lin Xiaoming quickly grabbed Lu Jinchao and pulled him, turning his body into a guide's flesh pad, tightly protecting Lu Jinchao, and quickly raised the bulkheads on both sides to form an escape cabin structure, locking them in it.

The crying and laughing voice of the courier outside could no longer be heard, and the crooked voice was still gentle: "Nice to meet you, and look forward to our next meeting, goodbye."

Then Lu Jinchao and Lin Xiaoming were ejected.

I was caught off guard and entered the vast universe, and the spaceship with the huge World logo imprinted on it passed by in a blink of an eye and disappeared completely.

The air in the escape cabin can only last for more than 20 minutes. Before Lu Jinchao could feel the panic, his eyes lit up again, and they suddenly entered the interior of another spaceship.

A familiar voice pretending to be gloomy came from my ear:

"Wandering travelers, welcome to the Eternal Heart, I am the noble captain Don Quixote Street Liuzi here, for the sake of safety, please hand in all your belongings, please note, this is not a drill, we are Serious robbery... eh???"
