Zhuoxi: "Then, why don't you want to touch it again?"

Master Karen looked at him, his white hair was a little messy, but his eyes were unexpectedly bright, not at all like an old man over 100 years old.

He was silent for a few seconds, with a look of nostalgia: "It's all old things...Young man, you just need to know that I am not a glorious person, and I have done... some wrong things."

For example, he used to be proud of himself, thinking that he was the most powerful mech master in the world; for another example, he once missed someone and developed a mecha that was like a big killer for a so-called friend, and was used by the other party. In the future, people will be devastated and become a pawn in war and a means of plunder.

Although it was not what he intended, he didn't realize how big a mistake he had made until the catastrophe known as the "Battle of the Sun".

"The mecha is a helper for human beings, but it can also be a murderous weapon in the hands of those whose hearts are full of darkness." The old man said calmly, but a few short sentences seemed to reveal a thousand weights.

"So, don't look at me with such admiration, I, Karen Hawthorne... At best, I'm just a waste who escaped to a place where no one was in order to alleviate the guilt."

Thinking of the scene on the garbage planet and the small and unremarkable hiding place, Zhuo Xi finally understood why the other party went to such a place.

Unlike them who fell there by accident, Master Karen went there on his own initiative to avoid something.Then he stayed on that planet for a while, and met aboriginals like Nora.

"You should still be unable to resist not touching the mecha." Zhuoxi said with some affirmation, "In your residence on that planet, there are still many items related to mecha research, including This manual."

"...Young man, you are right." Master Karen sat in the wooden chair, his eyes fell on the manual in Zhuoxi's pocket, "I am used to this style of manual, no matter how long it has passed, I Everyone likes to record their research experience in the form of notes...but I didn't expect that you would find it."

Zhuo Xi took out the manual, held it in his hand, and asked, "It should mean a lot to you?"

I believe that the things created under such a state of mind and environment are more profound than usual.Just outside, when Master Karen saw it for the first time, it was difficult to hide the emotion in his eyes.

In that emotion, there was surprise, disbelief, and regret. He probably remembered things he didn't want to think about because he saw it.

"No...you don't need to return it to me." Seeing that the young man wanted to return it to the original owner, Master Karen quickly raised a hand and shook it slowly, "You just... keep it well, since Once it’s in your hands, it’s yours.”

Seeing this, Zhuoxi didn't refuse any more.

He could see that what Master Karen said was not polite, the other party really didn't intend to ask for this manual back.

"However, I didn't expect that you knew about the Moonstone from the old man's notes." Master Karen sighed and patted his knee, "It seems that if there is no record in my notes, people today would I really don't understand... the real use of the Moonstone..."

He sighed and sighed, and saw the man standing upright beside him, his eyes were attracted to him, "Are you a soldier?"

Master Karen asked.

Zhuoxi also looked at the man standing by the window. The man was tall and straight. Although his appearance changed, the standing posture at this moment belonged to Qin Heng himself.

Of course, just in this room, if he goes outside, the man will restrain his aura, and will also deliberately change his walking posture to make himself look more like an inconspicuous ordinary person.

Hearing the old man's question, Qin Heng turned his gaze over, tapped his chin, and let out a "hmm".

Master Karen looked at him, then at Zhuoxi, and suddenly became a little curious: "What is the relationship between you two? Companions?"

Qin Heng glanced at Zhuo Xi, "Partner."

"Pfft——" the tea that Master Karen just drank sprayed out of his mouth, and he happily took away the glass with the gap, "Fortunately, old man, I only took a small sip just now..."

Zhuoxi took two pieces of paper from the hotel table and handed them to the old man, with a suppressed smile on his lips, without speaking.

Qin Heng looked calm, as if the person who said that just now was not him.

Master Karen: "In this day and age, it seems that this is a relatively common thing... But for an old man like me, it is still a bit shocking."

After all, he is also from the last century.At that time, although people had a more advanced civilization than now, their minds were not as open as they are today.

His eyes turned on the faces of Zhuo Xi and Qin Heng, and suddenly said: "You all used the technique of disguise?"

Zhuoxi was slightly surprised, surprised by the old man's keenness.

Master Karen smiled disapprovingly, "This little trick is nothing to the old man, it can be seen at a glance...Since you haven't shown your true colors to others, it means that you have some kind of important mission, right? I won’t get to the bottom of it, old man...I’m already very happy to meet you here.”

Zhuoxi: "Master, this hotel will be opened for you first, and the hotel owner will bring you some food later, how about you stay here? When we take pictures of the Moonstone, we will take you out of here."

"Leave?" Master Karen looked surprised, as if he didn't understand, "Old man, why did I leave here?"

"You don't intend to...return to the Empire?"

"No, no." The old man smiled kindly, but what he said was full of rejection, "Although I used to be a member of the Empire, I have lived for so many years... I don't want to go back."

"Why?" Zhuo Xi didn't show much surprise, but asked this question flatly.

"Because..." Master Karen shook his head, "Old man, I probably won't live for too long, I just want to stay in a place where no one knows me, bask in the sun every day, play with cats and dogs... that's enough. La……"

He has already put down all the masters and mechas.

Not to mention that now that he met a young man related to mecha, his heart was even more peaceful.

Knowing that the mecha has not been completely forgotten, he is already satisfied.What are you doing back home?Go back and be offered as a treasure, or enjoy other people's flowers and applause?

Master Karen only felt that those days were noisy, and what he wanted now couldn't be simpler.What about bums?At least now he is light and couldn't be happier.

What status, status, and false name, he, an old man, doesn't care anymore.

"In this case." Zhuoxi didn't force it, but felt a little regretful in his heart, "Then I wish you a happy and smooth life every day."

"Hey, thank you, young man." The old man looked at him with relief, "You have to remember, what the old man told you at the beginning, the weapons born in our hands may also become the tools of the enemy, so ...don't get too attached to it."

Zhuoxi said seriously: "I remember, thank you."

"Aren't you guys going to the auction? It's about time..."

"Yes, then let's go first."

"Wait a minute, young man." The old man stopped him, smiling very kindly, "Didn't you just say to ask the hotel owner to bring some food up, old man, I remember right?"

Zhuoxi came to her senses, "...Okay, I'll go right away."

"Mmm, um." Master Karen kept nodding with a look of "children can be taught", and after watching Zhuo Xi and Qin Heng leave the room, a smile filled his wrinkled face.

"It's a blessing... I haven't eaten good food for a long time, this kid is really good..."

***

Before entering the auction, Zhuo Xi and Qin Heng changed their outfits in the clothing store and bought two masks.

The rule in this black market auction is that all bidders must wear masks and cannot take them off during the whole process. If they violate the rules, they will no longer be able to participate in the auction.

Zhuo Xi and Qin Heng entered the auction venue wearing two masks, one gold and one silver.

The interior of this venue is extremely spacious, like a large professional auction house, the staff inside behave in an orderly manner, and all wear masks.

Such a construction site seems a bit too grand in a black market where fish and dragons are mixed together, but it seems to make sense to think that the people who come here are either rich or noble.

Although this is a black market, it is also a place where some powerful people often come to visit.

One after another, another group of photographers entered the venue. Most of them were dressed in formal attire. Since they were all wearing masks, it was basically impossible to tell who was who.

Even if someone you know is sitting next to you, you may not recognize it, because when bidding, the auctioneers don't need to speak, they just need to raise the sign in their hands.

As for the privacy of the photographer's identity, I have to say that it has done a good job.

Zhuoxi paid more attention because he knew that Patriarch Zhai would also come.But it is not an easy task to find each other among these dozens of people.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly felt that the man beside him took his hand, and then stroked a few strokes on his palm with his fingers.

Zhuoxi noticed that Qin Heng wrote the words "1-7". On the one hand, he was surprised that the man knew that he was looking for Patriarch Zhai. On the other hand, he was surprised by the other party's observation ability. Out of the position of Zhai Patriarch.

Qin Heng told him that Patriarch Zhai was sitting in the seventh seat in the first row.

This Patriarch Zhai is obviously from the Abyss Organization, but he probably didn't know that the two of them were going to shoot Moon Black Stone, not to mention, he probably wouldn't recognize them now.

Thinking of the fact that the other party planned to cheat the Mo family yesterday, Zhuo Xi couldn't help but sigh, the abyss organization is really unique in buying people's hearts.Wherever they went, they subdued many people like brainwashing, there must be some hard and some soft, in short, they used everything to the extreme.

"Welcome all distinguished guests. Next, I will announce that the auction will officially begin."

The host on the stage wore a mask with a loudspeaker function, and said loudly, "First, let's go to the first lot. This is a rare treasure that a mysterious collector has collected for many years..."

Afterwards, after nine auctions in a row, there was still no shadow of the Moon Black Stone.

And nearly half of the photographers in the arena have never made a shot, which shows that they still want to wait and see and see what is behind.

Zhuo Xi couldn't help feeling a little worried, if someone rushed to take pictures with them, would they really be able to take pictures smoothly?

But then, the warm palm of the man beside him slowly covered the back of his hand.

This action had some comforting meaning, Zhuo Xi quickly calmed down, and patiently waited for what they wanted to appear.
