Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

=============================

"Drip drip..."

A series of machine beeps woke up Seth and Xiu, and they opened their eyes in a daze. The red light swept away, and the two turned their heads subconsciously.Then, with a bang, the fence door opened, and Sanderson stood outside the door, followed by a group of robot guards.

"You two, did you sleep well last night?"

Seth yawned and moved his neck and said, "It's okay, but the floor is too hard, and it hurts my neck."

Sanderson smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, there won't be a second night like this."

Xiu rubbed his eyes and looked at Sanderson who greeted him with a smile: "Indeed, in every sense, there will be no second night."

"Yes."

Sanderson got out of his way, leaned forward and made a gesture of invitation: "You two, get up and move around."

"What's supposed to come always comes."

Seth leaned against the wall and got up, stretched his waist, then grabbed Xiu's hand and pulled him up.

"Come on, lead the way."

"Ok."

Seth and Xiu walked out of the prison, the handcuffs on their hands slammed, and the robot guards sandwiched them between them. Sanderson walked in front of them unhurriedly, took the elevator, and took the two outside.

The sun is just right, the sun is scorching in the sky, and you can see the light blue protective cover when you look up.

Seth and Xiu squinted their eyes and adjusted for a while, then asked Sanderson: "Woke up at noon?"

"If you have to say that, you can."

"It's twelve o'clock local time, but it's eight o'clock in the morning in Avalon," Sanderson said.

Seth and Xiu were a little confused, but the sunlight above their heads and their biological instincts allowed them to quickly accept the concept of 'it's dawn'.

"Eight o'clock in the morning..." Xiu calculated, "It's eight o'clock in the morning when the sun is so dazzling for the first time."

"About this point, please forgive me."

Sanderson explained: "For the normal operation of Avalon, it can only be at noon forever, which does not conform to the biological clock of human beings. However, Avalon guarantees the two of you seven hours of sleep, which is a little bit insignificant compensation."

"Compensation?" Seth sneered, "Dude, you know we're talking to you barefoot right now?"

"Sorry, I can't do anything about it," Sanderson said.

"Why, you don't think that humans can't escape without shoes."

"Hehe, this distinguished guest is really humorous."

Sanderson said with a smile: "You are free, make no mistake about that."

Seth snorted without cutting, which was automatically filtered by Sanderson.

"As for whether you run away or not, this is your choice, not something Avalon is thinking about. I didn't prepare shoes, but I just didn't want to increase the burden on you two."

Seth didn't take it seriously, he stretched out his hand to block the sun, and said casually: "If you don't have it, you don't have it, and it makes sense."

"Ashamed, ashamed."

"Where are you taking us?" Xiu looked around, and talked with him again, "This is not the entrance when we came last night."

"Don't worry, you two are absolutely safe now."

"Now?"

Seth asked, "That means we can be unsafe at any time, right?"

Sanderson said frankly: "Before the two of you stated your views, it was true."

At this moment, a shuttle bus stopped in front of the two of them. Sanderson opened the door, and stretched out his hand to block the car frame: "Please get on the bus."

Seth and Xiu had no choice, they sat in the middle of the ferry, Sanderson sat facing them, and the robot guards sat at the front and rear of the bus respectively.

After being seated, the shuttle bus passed through the streets of Avalon at an average speed, and the surroundings were still the same as yesterday, with melodious music and the fragrance of flowers, and everyone's faces on the street were filled with happy smiles.

It's just that everything is false.

The music stays the same, the scent of the flowers is disgusting, the people are fake and so are the smiles on their faces.

The way those 'people' look at them is true.

"Hey," Seth lightly bumped Xiaxiu's arm, "Do you have a strange feeling, but I can't describe it."

"Have."

Xiu said, "It's like parading in the streets."

Seite nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I want to say."

"Do you two feel uncomfortable?"

Sanderson snapped his fingers, and those 'concerned' eyes disappeared instantly, and returned to the picture of passers-by like a background board.

This change made Seth and Xiu's expressions even more ugly.

"It doesn't seem to be able to solve the problem."

Sanderson asked: "Do you need to draw the curtains for the two of you?"

"No need." Xiu said.

Ten minutes later, the shuttle bus stopped steadily in front of an empty hall.

This is one of the iris petals, the tail of Sky Fortress.

The hanging white flower vines fall on the spacious terrace, and the upper and lower floors are separated from the scattered ivory-colored platforms. The greenery is thick, and countless flowers are dotted on it.Only the sound of water is heard, but no running water is seen. From a distance, it seems to be hanging in the air. The elegant fragrance of flowers is blowing in the wind, and the green leaves and ivy are also swaying in the wind. It looks like a back garden.

"Two, please."

Seth and Xiu got off the ferry, Sanderson led the two to the entrance of the garden, stopped with the robot guards, and stopped moving forward.

Seth and Xiu had no choice but to walk through the hidden winding path, stepping on the corridor paved with wooden boards and cobblestones, to the center of the garden.

The green grass in the center of the garden stands on an exquisite white round table decorated with flower and bird patterns, and there are three equally exquisite round chairs with backrests.

Titania sat on the round chair with her back facing them, and said softly, "Here you come? Come and sit."

Seth and Xiu walked over, and Titania was holding a cup of coffee, the color was pure and black, and the faintly surrounding steam sent a faint bitter taste into Xiu's nostrils, mixed with the slightly sweet floral fragrance, there was a kind of saying no What came out was inconsistent and weird.

"Last night, did you rest well?"

"You are the second to ask this question." Xiu pulled the round chair and sat down. "Are you really concerned about how we are resting, or are you only using such vulgar opening remarks."

Titania smiled, held the white porcelain cup, and sniffed it up to the tip of her nose: "Can you smell what it is?"

"Can't you smell it?" Xiu asked.

"Well," said Titania, "I can't remember what a smell is."

"You can smell it when you take off the veil," Seth sat beside Xiu, "or is it that your body doesn't have the ability to recognize smells?"

"It's one thing to recognize it, it's another to smell it."

Titania put down the porcelain cup in her hand and crossed her hands on her lap: "You must be hungry, these are prepared for you."

There are a variety of cakes and refreshments on the round table. The fragrance of milk and oil overwhelms the fragrance of flowers, like a seductive goblin, arousing the appetite of the two. There is warm coffee and milk in the pot, as well as the color of ice Tempting juice.

The color, fragrance and taste are complete, more delicate than any food the two have eaten, like a work of art.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Titania asked: "Are you still worried that Avalon will poison the food?"

Seth and Xiu answered in silence.

Titania patiently explained: "You can enjoy it with confidence, Avalon will not poison, he will not cheat or backfire, but will conceal some things a little."

Seth smiled and said, "Isn't it too modest to use the word 'slightly'?"

Titania smiled: "Maybe, after all, sometimes, he is quite naughty."

"Let's skip the polite words," Xiu said, "let's get straight to the point."

"Let's eat first." Titania was not in a hurry. "Humans only have the strength to think when they are full."

Seth said, "But I'm full and I just want to sleep."

"That's difficult, I don't have that much time."

Titania paused, and took out something from her sleeve: "Although it will cause some trouble, it's not impossible to replace it in this way."

After that, she stretched out her hand and threw it, and a trace of sparks immediately appeared on Avalon's protective cover.

In the blink of an eye, Mars disappeared, and the faint black smoke was dismembered by the wind.

"What did she throw?" Seth asked.

"It's a virus," Xiu stared at Titania, "she threw the virus container out."

"you!"

Titania faced the two of them, she couldn't see her expression on her white veil, but she could feel her smile: "This kind of thing will only affect our ally relationship, why not throw it away?"

"Do you think there is only one virus container between us and you?"

"Isn't it?"

Titania stretched out her fingers, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Xiu: "Nod, this action shouldn't be difficult."

Xiu looked at Titania's hand, moved his Adam's apple, and took the cake from her hand.

"It's delicious," Titania said, "I made this with my own hands. From last night to now, it took me a lot of effort to make it well."

Xiu looked at the cake in his hand, then glanced at Seth again, and then, imitating Titania's appearance, he stretched out his hand and threw the cake, hitting the protective cover, and there was another burst of scattered black smoke.

"If that piece of cake can come back to me, I will agree to your proposal."

"You shouldn't take it out on food."

Titania sighed, there was no unhappiness in her words, just a touch of regret: "As long as you want, there are many cakes, why should you stick to one piece?"

"Sorry, I'm a particularly dead-brained person."

Xiu said: "Just like human beings, arrogant and paranoid."

"Really, I thought there was room for negotiation between us."

Titania clapped her hands, and in an instant, the platform was overturned, the flowers and plants were trampled, and the robot grabbed the six Corvinians who were tied up and pushed them to the edge of Avalon, stopping only one step away from the fall. Thin floating clouds, the sea and the land are under your feet.

"Stop, what do you want to do!"

Seth and Xiu got up from their seats, the round chair fell to the ground, and Titania was still sitting dignifiedly and leisurely: "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do."

"Despicable!" Xiu gritted his teeth.

"Mean? I think it's a kind of frankness."

Titania said: "However, you seem to have missed the point."

Titania glanced in Sanderson's direction, and Sanderson understood, and a real-time holographic image appeared in front of the two of them.

"Don't you think this place looks familiar?"

Seth and Xiu looked at the scene in the picture.

Sea, land, yellow sand, and a slightly desolate human city...

"This is... Corvinion!!!"
