To Four Thousand Years Later - v6 Chapter 23

“Leisure? No, you just said it the other way around.”

Abaddon said calmly: “It’s not that father allowed them to exist.”

“Instead, they voluntarily accepted their father’s mission and immigrated to the Moon City, which is isolated from the rest of the world.”

“You mean, isolated from the world?” Gabriel felt a little unfamiliar with this word, and even couldn’t believe it. In this era, she can still hear the word isolated from the world. You must know that for humans today, not to mention the moon, even Mars and Pluto can live all year round.

Even the cosmic space outside the solar system is not completely unreachable.

In fact, after the completion of the Psychic Tower project, the original task was to explore outside the system and find new colony planets and resource planets. Well-trained psychic helmsmen, researchers, and combatants have already carried out many simulation trainings in the “central”, and can deal with almost all situations. The spacecraft they want to use has also been produced and can be sent to the spaceport at any time.

In this day and age, how could there be a place “isolated”?

“They’re even the closest extraterrestrial colonies to Earth!”

gabriel lowers his voice

“Actually, only here should count.”

Abaddon just smiled.

He whispered: “In fact, although there are many tourists who come to the moon to visit, but unlike other places, only the moon is not allowed to live for a long time.”

“Why?” Gabriel tilted his head strangely.

Abaddon did not answer immediately. He just walked slowly into a nearby shop with the long black staff in his hand.

Gabriel hesitated for a moment, then followed.

This is a coffee shop. The white and green wall is reminiscent of the moon itself, and there are small wooden signs one after another strung on the vines wrapped around the wall, some wooden signs are still very new, and some have begun to decay.

“A cup of coffee,” Abaddon ordered to the empty bar, “and an extra large egg, a private room, I won’t order for you, Gabriel. Order what you like, not here, but the best Do not waste.”

Then I’ll have a cup of coffee.

Gabriel hesitated for a moment, then whispered: “Or you can have some dessert, such as strawberry cake—I mean, if there is any.”

She likes to eat cakes very much, especially the grass warbler flavor.

But for a big man, especially a middle-level military commander, such a hobby is a bit too cute, and it is difficult to suppress those young people who have just come to Pluto, have not died a few times, and are a little impetuous. Therefore, she rarely ordered strawberry cakes in the public cafeteria. More importantly, the battle on Pluto also made her unable to do anything, and she didn’t have the time to relax at all. But now it can be considered a vacation. Gabriel thought to himself. Like now. It was also the first time for her to come to a shop that didn’t cost money—the monitor above the bar nodded after receiving the orders from the two alone. A mechanical arm protruded from under the table, and a wooden sign was handed over to Gabriel.

It has the number 17 written on it.

Well.

Although it had been a long time since he had eaten at a shop on the street, Gabriel could easily understand what this meant. She looked around for a while, and then walked towards the room marked “17” on the door. When she walked to the door, the door of the room opened automatically. The space in the room is not large, and you can see the whole picture at a glance. Its decoration is not luxurious, nor is it particularly clean, but the arrangement is very warm. There was nothing but a single bed, two oversized party chairs and a desk. When the two of them just walked into the room, the table suddenly opened to both sides, and a cup of coffee and snacks ordered by the two fell on both sides.

A one-eighth sized cake cut and a 30cm high meat burger filled with cream, hollandaise sauce, bacon, hamburger meat, steak, fried chicken. Two huge fried eggs. In terms of size, it can be said to be quite impressive.

“This is a store I frequent.”

Abaddon chuckled: “For example, in terms of human taste, I think they would probably find it difficult to eat this kind of thing. It’s too greasy and extremely caloric, and I didn’t let them put it down.” Salt. This is the dish it made just for me.”

“it?”

“It’s the owner of the store, the store itself.”

Abaddon replied.

After he finished speaking, Gabriel saw the side of the coffee cup facing him. Suddenly, an abstract human figure like Xiao Wu appeared, smiling and bowing to himself. This startled Gabriel. Her early warning abilities hadn’t told her this at all—nor had the Witch Network transmitted that common sense to her.

Don’t look at it, newborn daughters don’t know these things. Or rather, she doesn’t care about these things at all. Abaddon’s voice softened slightly: “Actually, this store itself is alive.”

“It is not a storefront controlled by artificial intelligence and robots. It is a living building controlled by the thinking of living people.”

“A living building?”

“Yes, that’s it,” Abaddon spread his hands calmly, and ate one-third of the hamburger in one bite. He exchanged favors with people, and even left society itself—it was a person. It’s just that its body is a building.

“Comparative, I mean, somewhat odd ways of being.”

Gabriel was overwhelmed by Abaddon.

It took her a while to recover and realize what he meant.

But she soon realized a mental area: “No, sir. If I remember correctly, this should be illegal, right?”

According to the order issued by the tower of the mind, normal people can only enter the human body. If they want to carry out any other form of possession, they must go through strict examination and be subject to strict and close supervision. Return to human form before losing human form.

“You’re right. It’s indeed illegal now.” Abaddon nodded slightly.

He said calmly: “But hundreds of years ago, when the memory box technology was first developed, this was not the case. At that time, the technology was not developed and the technology was not perfect.”

“So at that time we didn’t know that if the spirit bodies had entered the memory box and been digitized, then their digitized characteristics would always be with them. In other words, they can accept viruses and They can’t initiate spiritual resonance, and they can’t accept deep spiritual resonance.” This means that they cannot keep up with the development of the times. Because they can only passively participate in spiritual resonance, and the depth is not enough. This means that they cannot participate in any high-tech development field, nor can they reach the top level of any industry. Everyone is connected in order to share knowledge and research progress. This also means that they have become “laggards” for no reason.

But they themselves have done nothing wrong.

The only fault is that they were born decades earlier.

“For example, the owner of this store is like this.”

Abaddon.

“You can call him Chang Xi, he is from Jinmen. He is very hospitable. You will know the whole moon after you stay for a long time, it’s the same.”

Abaddon said in a voice: “This is not a particularly good place. This is just a group of old people who have been eliminated by the times, and they want to live persistently. And their desire to live keeps their spiritual energy excited. If, highly activated psionic energy is the best charger, but it is also a kind of poison to the psionic users themselves, which will accelerate their death.”

“So my father placed them here to provide a steady stream of energy for Yuezhu City. Although they can enter the center equally as long as they die, they are not afraid. He just thinks that this era is so beautiful, and he wants to do it with all his strength. survive.”

“So in the Moon Pig City, outsiders don’t need money for food and entertainment. Moon people try their best to support themselves and travel. This is the only thing they can do. Try to prove the value of their own existence. out of the power of the Daughter of God, clumsily working until they tire, fall, and choose to leave.”

“This is a nursing home for the elderly two centuries ago, and it’s also an isolation center. It’s a prison and a ranch. It’s an amusement park.” Abaddon looked at Gabriel and said slowly, “It’s also a battlefield.”

“I hope you understand that sometimes, choosing to live is also a struggle.”
