Motta felt a little overwhelmed. One hand tightly held the handle of the telescopic swing stick, and the other hand loosened his collar. In this short moment, he had already thought about too many things.

For example, a robber armed with a knife jumped out from any corner. Another example is that there is a group of armed gangs in the opposite street who are preparing to seize territory. Another example is that in this eerie steel building

In the darkest place in the jungle, a alien monster from an alien planet on the edge is eating the body of a homeless man...

 Such a plot has become a standard plot in cosmic horror stories.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Is this really the place we are looking for?"

 He then took out a breath of self-deprecation and sighed heavily: "Well, this kind of mysterious dark intelligence dealer can only hide in this kind of place."

"There is no other way. There is only so much we can do to help Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian now." Killian whispered.

 He actually already had the stick in his hand, but at least his expression and voice were relatively calm.

"Relax, don't be so nervous. Don't think of this as a difficult task. We are not going to risk our lives now. Just think of it as a rare experience? Just like Mr. Yu Lian said,

See the reality of the world. This is knowledge that you can never learn in school." Tan Jize comforted his two companions in this way, and there was indeed no panic in his steps.

Such calm and leisurely movements immediately made the two companions feel much more relaxed, and they quickly followed.

However, not long after walking, Tan Jize suddenly stopped again, opened his terminal and glanced at the shrinking light screen, observed it carefully, turned to the two people behind him and said:

“…Ha, if it weren’t for the map given by Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, I would definitely have gotten lost.” Tan Jize looked at the winding alley in front of him and showed a headache…

 “Didn’t you say you’ve been here a few times?” Mota was shocked.

"Yes, last time I helped a Wolfgang businessman who lived here to litigate a lawsuit. But after all, he lives in a boutique community, and the roads here are much easier to walk." Tan Jize smiled and said, "But, you guys

Don’t worry too much. Again, this is within the imperial capital, so you don’t have to worry about knife-wielding gangsters or alien monsters. Generally speaking, it’s pretty safe.”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw a Pegel pig-faced man rushing out of the alleyway opposite. Generally speaking, the body shape of this race is short, fat and stocky. Once it rushes, it is a bit...

The crazy wild boar is running rampant in the mountain forest, even the tiger is not appetizing. However, the size of this guy is indeed here, and the balance level is indeed not satisfactory, sliding in the narrow alley

He crawled on the ground and ran away, but he always rubbed against the surrounding walls, making a tearing sound.

Killian’s teeth were sore when he heard this. He could tell that not only the clothes of the pig-faced man were scratched, but also his skin and flesh were scratched.

Don’t think that in this era of prosperous science and technology, the quality of clothes will be so good that they will never wear out. If it never wears out, it is possible for poor people to wear one piece of clothing for a lifetime, so how can they cut leeks?

“Get away!” the pig-faced man roared at the stunned trio of international students.

Tan Jize thought to himself that I really want to hide, but how can I hide in such a narrow box?

"There's really a roadblock and robbery!" Mota was stunned for a moment and then suddenly became energetic. He always felt that in this operation, he was really useless, so he could only regard himself as the bodyguard of his friends.

.Now, the danger has come, and the highlight moment of my bodyguard has suddenly come.

 “Bah!” Mota shouted and unfolded the telescopic swing stick in his hand: “That fat man dared to rob with a knife in broad daylight, but I want to...”

 However, before the two men could engage in battle, a drone about the size of a sparrow fell from the narrow sky and struck the pig-faced man with an electric shock on his head.

The pig-faced man rolled his eyes and howled, twitched and fell to the ground and fainted.

The trio of international students were frightened when they saw it. They even smelled a hint of burning smell.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of metal sliding of a mechanical arm coming from deep in the alley, and then I saw a mechanical scorpion that was as big as a large hunting dog waving steel pliers, clanking like that.

It crawled over from behind the edge of the wall. It emerged from the shadows, and a red light appeared on the tip of its head, flashing a dangerous light. It looked like a metal demon crawling out of hell. Looking at

It makes people breathless.

 This is one of the things that the Empire has been accused of by the Alliance. All the self-disciplined law enforcement robots are really scarier than the last, and it feels like they are purely designed to scare criminals to death based on their appearance.

Therefore, no matter how colorful and bustling a dream-like street you are walking on, as long as one or two robots pass by, you can instantly feel the totalitarian nature of this country.

"Citizen Nuno Tata, you will be punished as a current thief." The robot read with a stick without any emotion. Then it pounced on the unconscious pig-faced man and directly picked up the stick.

The long needle was stabbed hard. Then, two more traction ropes were pulled out, dragging the prisoner and preparing to leave.

It seemed that it had just discovered the existence of the trio of foreign students. The red light flashed and it completed the scan. Then it immediately determined that these were indeed law-abiding foreign students who were harmless to humans and animals. Although Tan Jize and Mota had both gone in,

But these are the lowest administrative penalties for public security, and they don’t even have a criminal record.

“Gentlemen, excuse me.” The robot said a polite word through the programmed program, dragged the pig-faced thief who was applying foam and pushed past the three of them.

Tan Jize and his friends watched the law enforcement robot disappear at the entrance of the alley, and then said: "Look, I said it. After all, this is the most serious crime in the imperial capital."

 In short, because of such an episode, everyone quickly adjusted their mentality and moved on.

They continued walking through the alleys, vaguely hearing the noise and laughter of the residents in the surrounding houses, the music and exaggerated dialogue from TV programs, and occasionally the aroma of cooking. They even saw two

Franmore, a strange combination of two Anglos and a Wolfgang boy, occupied the center of the alleyway and were playing on the grid and taking pictures. When the trio of foreign students passed by, the children made dissatisfied noises.

There were cheers, but they still tried to get out of the way.

 “Don’t mess up our grid,” warned one of the Flanmore children.

“Don’t worry, if you mess up, I’ll give you an SSR card for “Giant of Light” in exchange.” Mota, the big black fat man, smiled. But as soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the grid line on the ground.

 “Oh” the children showed disdain and the hooting became louder.

Mota gritted his teeth and hesitated for a few seconds. Then, with a heavy feeling of giving away his wife, he silently took out a card package from his arms, took out one card from it, and closed his eyes.

handed it to the other party.

 “Take it.” Mota handed the card to the Franmore child.

“Wow! Stardust General Wu Rutman!” The young man stared at the card in front of him in disbelief.

 “It’s still in the form of steel-burning armor!” The Wolfgang boy next to him was stunned.

Then, the children cheered and ran away with the cards, presumably to show off to other friends.

 Looking at the children's happy backs, everyone felt as if they had done something good, and they immediately relaxed.

Tan Jize said: "You actually gave away the Wulu Temanka in the form of burning steel? I remember that thing, even if you draw it a thousand times, you may not be able to get it out."

 “When a good man is alive, every spit will drive a nail!” The fat on Mota’s cheeks was shaking in pain, but he still held his head high and looked proud, and took the lead in taking a majestic step and continued to move forward.

“Isn’t the thing worth paying attention to that you actually carry the card pack of “Giant of Light” with you? Oh no, more importantly, Brother Ze, why are you so familiar with this thing?” Killian said loudly.

"I didn't want to know at first, but the three children of the Baron family where I was a tutor last year were all loyal viewers of "Giant of Light." I have to find some common language with my students." Tan Jize answered while speaking in the original

He stood there for a while, looking at the cheerful children, thoughtfully.

　　Until Killian, who had reached the front, turned around and called twice, he woke up from a dream and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with his companions.

 “What are you looking at?” Killian asked.

"I was thinking that no matter what family they are from, children all like the same things. However, as they grow up, they gradually go to different worlds. What is it that separates their worlds?

?”

Killian was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "Isn't this natural? Because they were indeed born differently, so naturally they were born in two worlds."

Tan Jize was noncommittal. At this time, Motta pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, have you read Seldi's master's thesis?"

"Originally I wanted to take a look. However, the school said it wanted to publish his paper in the next quarter's "Society" magazine, so I wanted to wait until it was published before taking a look." Tan Jize said with a smile: "Then

The article should be about the Red Maple Factory, right? Does it also explain the question I just asked?"

“…Uh, no.” Motta said sheepishly, “Besides, I didn’t understand Seldi’s paper either.”

Killian almost staggered when he heard this, but Tan Jize was still smiling. He knew that although his friend was not very smart and might not even get the credits if he didn't make up lessons by himself, he was indeed a reliable person.

It won't be aimless.

"What I mean is that when I was helping Seldy find thesis materials last time, I heard him say something. Some people live by labor, and some people live by sucking blood. The latter will not regard the former as

They are the same kind. So, there are different worlds."

This time, it was Killian who sounded a little confused, but Tan Jize seemed to understand something and nodded.

“Heh, I really should have read this paper earlier.” Tan Jize said with a smile.

 He paused for a moment and then added: "When I understand what is going on here, I should also make some large-scale social reports."

 “Social report?” Kilian asked.

"Haha, our East Asian ethnic group has very clear requirements for sages, or saints, which is to make meritorious deeds and establish good reputations. If you want to say what ambitions I have in this life, maybe this is it?" Tan Jize said

.

Killian and Motta's expressions were a little strange. Of course they knew that the big brother, an overseas student, was indeed a warm-hearted person with little materialistic desires and no easy access to power. It was not surprising that he wanted to aspire to be a "saint". However,

As long as I think about the fact that there was a noble lady from the empire who was full of martial virtue and dueled for him, I always feel that this guy is getting an advantage and acting like a good boy.

"I don't crave meritorious deeds, I just let nature take its course. People who crave merit are often the ones who make the world ablaze. However, in terms of establishing virtue and reputation, I feel that anything separated from the most ordinary working people will

The virtues and words established in the study are just big words to deceive the world. The so-called sages of all ages cannot escape from this shackles." Tan Jize shrugged: "I have to do something different to be able to do it.

I’m worthy of this life.”

Everyone continued to walk in the alleyway filled with the smoke and smoke of the city. Now, the lights were still dim and the streets were still narrow, but they no longer felt any depressing and terrifying feeling. After walking for nearly ten minutes, they passed through.

After walking down the alley, we finally came to the main road, which was like a separation zone between urban areas.

Of course, the "bigness" of this road is also relative. To put it bluntly, it is a two-way four-lane road. There are still a lot of pedestrians, but there is not much traffic.

 They crossed the highway directly and finally arrived at their destination.

It is a building with more than thirty floors. In other words, it is a complex building composed of four huge residential buildings of thirty floors and a shopping mall of about four or five floors. If it is in some third- and fourth-tier cities,
