The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 506 Going to the Moon

"You don't need to perfuse me, really." Linyin sat up straight from the sofa, her voice sounded clear and sweet, just like her name, fresh and sharp. However, this pleasant voice was accompanied by a deep anger and disgust.

"Really." Xu Yang checked the situation of the base and found that he could go, "I'm leaving tonight. I just happen to have something to go to the moon."

Linyin lay back on the sofa, facing inward. There was a nice smell of detergent coming from the bottom of the sofa cushions.

She could imagine how Lila took good care of the furniture. She kept everything neat and spotless. Is Lila a hard-working mechanical maid, or the president of a huge company admired by thousands of people? Every time Linyin thought of this, she would be confused.

"Crazy." Lin Yin said dully, "Stay away from me."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the moon?" Xu Yang walked around the room.

"I hate joking." Linyin said coldly, without a trace of pity or ambiguity in her tone. She is getting angry.

Xu Yang took out a stack of exquisite chip boxes and hard drives from the black metal filing cabinet, which were full of data files, mainly related to basic industrial production and veterinary medicine. These contents can help the lunar dragons to manufacture suitable industrial products and drug.

"Moonfire" Mond didn't care much about his offspring, and mostly left these youths and young dragons to fend for themselves. Since the establishment of contact with Nistor Corporation, the enterprising leader of the dragon tribe "Blood Flame" Pelagia has been eager to use human technology and medicine to improve the quality of life of the dragon tribe on the moon. For this reason, she is willing to exchange a large amount of minerals.

The technological development of the Luna Dragon is difficult to achieve overnight. The technology tree pointed out by humans needs to be digested from scratch by the dragon race. The science of the steam age that is very simple for humans has to be transformed into dragon knowledge for dragons. They are huge in size, the size of factories and machines must be several times that of humans, and the corresponding assembly lines and technical processes are all very different.

In addition to taking the information to the moon for trading, Xu Yang also wanted to help Wei Shiyue.

The relationship between Wei Shiyue and Du Qianqian has ups and downs, Wei Shiyue is tough and upright, Du Qianqian is sensitive and cunning, naturally there are many troubles in getting along, they have each complained to Xu Yang about how bad each other is, and their temper How bad. In addition, Wei Shiyue left a few personal belongings on the moon, and she hoped that Xu Yang could help bring them back to the ground. Because she hated her father, she had long wanted to return to the Moon Palace, so Xu Yang could only do it for her.

"I'm leaving." Xu Yang tidied up his luggage, put on a white windbreaker with a lot of pockets, put on a ceramic mask, and went out, "Do you want to go to the moon, or stay indoors?"

"..." Linyin closed her eyes and pretended not to hear, until Xu Yang closed the door and activated the anonymous number, she opened her eyes and saw the black, thin shuttle slowly coming out of the hangar , She couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of bed, and ran out, "Wait for me!"

Xu Yang didn't slow down, but just opened the hatch. Linyin activated his magic power, jumped onto the side of the cabin, walked inside, and pulled the door firmly.

At this time, the shuttle just took off and drove into the vast night in an instant. Linyin saw the magnificent city below them exuding a glitzy atmosphere, with bright advertising lights and holographic lights and shadows everywhere, and her hanging heart slowly let go .

"I don't want to watch a movie or go to the observatory." Linyin looked at Xu Yang and said coldly, "I don't even want to go to a hotel or the forest, and I don't even want to go to the countryside."

"What are you doing there?" Xu Yang said relaxedly, "We are going to the moon, not other places."

"...!" Linyin came back to his senses, "I was the first tester for Nistor's rocket launch plan. But you didn't even tell the news media, is it meaningful to launch a rocket like this? And I No space travel training either."

"It's okay, you don't need to train." Xu Yang explained, "I have been there, and they have established an ecological circle there."

"They?" Linyin's eyes kept flickering.

She thought of many wonderful images, including the descriptions of the dangerous moon in various films and comics. It is rumored that there are dangerous monsters everywhere, so that human’s plans to land on the moon are often empty, and brave astronauts often disappear.

"The colonists on the moon." Xu Yang nodded. He looked at Linyin and knew that she had a lot of troubles in her heart. "...Let's come slowly and sit beside me."

Lin Yin sat beside Xu Yang, and he handed her a can of black coffee. When she drank the cold and bitter liquid, starlight appeared in her eyes.

"Why go to the moon?" Xu Yang guided slowly, he didn't want to add any extra burden to Linyin, she had worked hard enough and was under unspeakable mental pressure, Xu Yang knew this clearly.

Lin Yin was silent for a while, and then replied:

"Give yourself a reason to live." Linyin said.

"The reason for living..." Xu Yang hadn't thought that Linyin would answer like this.

"..." Linyin lowered her head, put the coffee can aside dully, and buried her face in her hands, "...Going to the moon is an impossible thing. So I set myself such a goal , living day after day, pretending I'm still working on it."

Linyin looked at the night outside the window, and had already left the city for the wilderness.

to the moon.

This goal is so absurd, so ambitious, but only this goal can support her to live every day.

"It's very powerless." Linyin continued, her voice was very soft, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. She leaned against the window and stared at the dark countryside outside, "So, when I go to the moon, my The dream is over, and I can die calmly. After all, what is the point of living?"

Not only does life feel boring, Linyin also feels the emptiness of life.

meaningless...

"There is no goal of spending money," Xu Yang said slowly, "There is no pursuit of luxury, no deep emotional sustenance, no relatives, no belonging, no sense of security, no close friends, no career, no ..."

"Yeah, so what?" Linyin said dully, Xu Yang's words completely confirmed her current state, a hacker witch wandering around the world aimlessly and with nothing.

The team she once devoted her love to was destroyed by the company's troops in a conflict, and Linyin was left floating in the world alone, like an isolated atom, isolated from all other structures.

"So, now you finally have time to understand who you are." Xu Yang turned to look at her, "You don't need to live for money, you don't need to live for your lover and relatives, you don't need to live for your career, you don't need to live for Live as a team. Finally start again."

Linyin moved over and rested her head on Xu Yang's knee.

"Just start again here?" Linyin said softly.

Move to another city, move to a place where no one knows you and start over, that's what people always say.

Xu Yang nodded.

"Of course, people came to this world to perfectly realize their own nature." Xu Yang looked out of the window, he saw the undulating mountains, the forest covered the dark mountains like a green coat on the mountains, and the mountains themselves were like silent giants, He was noncommittal about everything that happened to him, "You are still young, you can start over and over again, it is never too late."

"I don't have any nature to speak of, a part of me is broken." Linyin felt that cyberpsychosis was affecting her, and she sometimes felt that she was split into three, just like Masato Kano, appearing in different places at the same time.

"Don't be nervous," Xu Yang patted her. "All you need is time. Humans and witches have the same great characteristics—even in the worst environment, our spirit is inalienable."

Linyin curled up quietly, and for a few seconds, she felt that she had found a secluded nest in the world.

"Thank you for spending time with me," Lin Yin whispered.

"The days are still long..." Xu Yang looked away from the barren mountains outside the window, and turned back to Lin Yin, "And I really need an assistant."

"You can find better assistants."

"But Miss Linyin is unique in this world."

"I forgive you." Linyin said with closed eyes, "Take me to the observatory to see the moon, I know what you mean."

"There is no observatory, no theater, and no hallucinations; everything that follows is the real moon." Xu Yang took her into the Heimen base.

The shuttle stopped on the parking platform in the center of the huge warehouse, and Xu Yang brought Linyin down.

There's no activity around, just a handful of synths doing routine maintenance. A huge mechanical arm hoisted boxes of minerals across their heads. Gears, crawlers, and a transmission platform were connected to form an efficient cargo delivery device, and twelve conveyor belts were operating at the same time. The noise was so loud that the ground shook slightly. .

"Mine?" Linyin looked up and saw countless minerals being brought out from the depths of the dark base, as if there was an inexhaustible treasure house of minerals.

She never thought that Nisto Company had such a wonderful mining base, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, surprised by all this.

"Close your eyes and move forward." Xu Yang led Linyin forward step by step, towards the source of these minerals.

Rinne held her breath.

She opened her eyes, and saw the surrounding environment change a little bit, from the realistic mechanical ground to the semi-suspended crystal material particles, and she could even feel a suction pulling herself, the darkness in front of her The appearance of the light source becomes brighter, but the boundary between light and dark is not so clear, and everything is grotesque, which only appears in dreams.

Then she saw that Xu Yang had disappeared.

She shouted, her heart was pounding, and thinking of what Xu Yang said, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and walked forward, no matter what was in front of her.

—then she was sucked away and disappeared on the surface.
