Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 281 Clear Sky
Song Shi leaned against the sofa, looking at the note. After a long while, a sigh suddenly sounded in the room.

"Although I noticed it back then, is it actually true?"

The flame quietly ignited from the edge, and left the palm of the hand as he whispered to himself, like a fluttering flame butterfly, turning into embers that scattered out of the window.

Song Shi stood up and decided which pizza to eat tomorrow.

By the way, deal with the accumulated communications.

After the battle of Casting Light City ended, Harold, Shanxing and others who were far away in Palose sent communications as soon as possible to inquire about the battle situation and express concern about Song Shi's situation.

However, the situation was tense and chaotic a few days ago, and Song Shi himself went into the operating room for a medical operation, so he really couldn't spare the time to reply. It was not until now that he was sitting in this street-side pizza shop called "Honor Pult" that he had time to reply one by one.

"Well, the situation is okay. Fubo Energy has already started to withdraw from Zhuguang City. Oh, me? I'm fine. My injuries are not too serious."

"Hehe, I just made a tiny contribution - you ask what it was specifically? Oh, I killed Emmanuel." Song Shi made a light-hearted statement: "Your leader? As for Chakoro's words, in my personal opinion, this may not be a bad thing."

"Sir, your extra large luncheon meat cheese pizza is ready!"

The waiter carried a large cardboard box and rushed to Song Shi's table.

"So fast?" Song Shi was a little surprised: "Today's efficiency is so high? Did the boss give you a raise?"

"How is that possible?" The female waitress, who was probably in her early twenties, smiled and said, "A benefit for regular customers! I see you come here often to eat!"

“I don’t remember so many times.”

Song Shi nodded, said thank you, and left the pizza shop with the box.

After about a few minutes, the pizza shop was filled with the roar of surprise that could no longer be suppressed.

"Oh my god! I actually met Song Shi——!!!"

······
Song Shi climbed up the building, looked around, and chose a rooftop to sit down.

He sat on the edge of the rooftop, preparing to open the lunch box, when he suddenly paused: "It's really true that they are all gathered together."

Song Shi turned his head and saw the body of an intelligent robot flying across the sky in the distance, flying towards here quickly.

"Wait a moment." He raised his hand to indicate, "I forgot to buy something to drink. How about you buy some first and then come up? You can buy some for yourself too. The motor oil and other things are all on me."

Lapis Lazuli said nothing, swooped down into the street, picked up a large bag of drinks from the vending machine, and returned.

"Oh, this is Bart's Orchard's new product, the Ultimate Explosive Vine Dragon Fruit Flavored Soda." Song Shi took it and unscrewed a can: "Are you done? Let me make it clear first, don't ask me questions like 'How is your injury?'"

"You should define 'busy'."

Lapis Lazuli floated on the edge of the rooftop. The power of the balance instrument should not be too high. The body of the machine swayed slightly with the airflow. "According to my definition, my mission is not yet completed."

"Then you are really a busy omnic." Song Shi disagreed and took a bite of the pizza. The soft texture had a strong aroma of fat. "Then why do you have time to come here now?"

"Although the task is heavy, the most priority items have been completed." Lapis Lazuli answered naturally.

It floated at the same horizontal distance as Song Shi. From afar, it looked like two people were sitting side by side on the edge of the rooftop.

"The Enlightened One wants to change the name of 'Forging Light City'. Do you know?"

"I heard Gwenlin mention it, and she also told me a few alternative names, such as 'Wolfasso'." Song Shi held the beverage can and said, "In the Rokar mythology, it is the final burial place of the light thief Dadasoya. Endorsing the city with the meaning given to it is not a bad choice."

"Did Gwenlin tell you the specific meaning of the name?" Lapis Lazuli seemed a little surprised.

Hearing this, Song Shi was choked, which was rare for him.

He was speechless for a while: "I am not illiterate. I have a partial high school diploma. Besides, anyone who has been in Forged Light City for so long will know something about the Rokar mythology."

"But the name change will definitely take some time. The most important thing for them now is to spread their influence, take over and unify the entire city, and promote a group of pro-Enlightened officials to power. I see Gwenlin is worried about all this and is very busy every day."

Yes, city government has not disappeared.

Even the election process for core positions such as the hotly contested mayoral seat has barely been delayed and is still moving forward.

Even though most people now know that the real owner of Forging Light City has changed from [Fubo Energy] to [Enlightener], the official official has always been the government. This was also the case when Fubo Energy was at its peak and its authority covered the entire Rokar Plain.

If the Enlightened Ones directly disbanded the city government and reorganized the ruling body, it would no longer be a control area tacitly agreed by all parties, but a complete independent rebellion, which would inevitably set off a violent wave. The current situation of the Enlightened Ones does not allow for any unnecessary troubles.

".When are you going to leave?" Lapis Lazuli asked.

"Soon, but not in the next few days."

Song Shi opened another can of soft drink and stared into the distance: "What? Are you planning to throw a farewell party for me?"

Lapis Lazuli said simply: "Together."

".Hmm?" Song Shi put down the drink he was about to open, turned his head, and said after a while: "Are you sure? The next Forging Light City is a good opportunity for Lapis Lazuli to let go. The intelligent machines are still waiting for you to return strongly and return to the world stage."

"There is no contradiction." Lapis Lazuli said, "Most of what the Enlightened Ones can provide, I can also complete myself, but there are some things that they cannot provide me."

"To translate it, you think highly of my potential and want to start from humble beginnings, share weal and woe with me, and improve my favorability so that you can get some help for the future intelligent machine group—"

Song Shi stretched out the ending tone lazily, and suddenly asked: "Can you change it to a more touching way of saying it?"

Lapis Lazuli was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't breach the contract until the one-year service period is up."

"I'm touched." Song Shi clapped his hands: "Then let's go together. To be honest, if we go to the East Land Republic, I really need your ability as a 'devil'."

"Do you think I should just fly over there on you, or should I ask Gwenlin to get a car first? Both seem fine."

"I recommend a land vehicle," Lapis Lazuli replied, "Of course, if you insist on flying, I can do that, too."

"uh-huh."

Song Shi unscrewed another can, as if he had thought of something, and shook it towards the other party: "Do you want to drink it?"

"No"

"The atmosphere is so good, you really don't want to have a can?" Song Shi asked seriously: "Or are you afraid of short circuit?"

So Lapis took the can of "refreshing dandelion thorn ball flavor" soda, a dent appeared on the top of the body, turned it upside down, and began to gurgle and move the horizontal line down.

The two drank soda and ate pizza.

For a moment, no one spoke and the rooftop became quiet, with only the sound of wind hitting the outer wall.

".It's still good."

After a long while, Song Shi suddenly spoke.

Lapis Lazuli has been looking down.

The war a few days ago seemed to have a lot of impact, but also seemed to have no impact at all.

On the streets below, neon signs were still flashing, men in suits were still hurrying to work, and advertisements promoting new implants were everywhere in the streets, but for some reason, the various loan sharking businesses that were once densely populated disappeared overnight.

"Yeah," Lapis Lazuli said.

The only thing that has changed on this street that is still the same as before is that the thick frost and snow that used to cover the ground are gone. Today is a rare good day, with lines of brilliant golden rays of light flowing from the azure sky through the rolling sea of ​​clouds to the ground below.

There are golden ripples.

The sky, which used to be dark and gloomy, suddenly became bright for several days, and even the frost that we thought would never melt gradually dissipated.

"really."

Song Shi threw away the empty aluminum can, stretched, and stood up.

"It's more comfortable in the sunshine."
