East of Eden

<File>: Side mission in progress - looking for Zhanfeng Gun

The museum robbery failed, but the current owner of Zhanfenggun extended an invitation to them

The whole day's tossing was not fruitless, at least Lin Shi threw them the letter from the collector of the Zhanfeng gun—however, it is really strange that the collector in the Holy Spirit Island would like to meet a group of robbers.

In the small hotel, Cang Xing sat cross-legged on a hard plank bed to search for information.There is very little information about the Norman Manor on Holy Spirit Island on the Internet. The only known owner is Norman, a wealthy businessman who likes to collect ancient relics related to the Yin Qi civilization. He once held a celebration of "Liang Shiheng's 3020th Birthday" on the island.

Looks like a nouveau riche with nowhere to put his spare cash.

Inside the sealed envelope was an invitation, conveying the host's shock at hearing they had tried to rob the museum, and his desire to see them.

Cangxing smoked a cigarette and put the opened letter on the bedside table.Yun An made three bowls of instant noodles and handed Cang Xing a bowl. The three of them hadn't eaten for a whole day.

"Are you saying we should go to Whitsunday Island?" Yun'an asked.

Shano was flipping through the newspaper with a pair of glasses on, like an old cadre: "Go."

"The Holy Spirit Island is located in the southern waters of the Gutras Ocean, and there are no direct civilian routes. It's all rich old men driving private jets and yachts. It's hard for us to go there." Yun'an managed to poke a piece of beef in the instant noodles : "The owner of this manor is real, at least leave a boat ticket."

"It's also okay to pick up the yacht directly." Shano added.

At this time, a shrill mechanical voice sounded: "Our master has indeed come with a yacht~"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and they searched for the source of the sound, but they didn't expect it to be the letter paper on the bedside table.The letter stood up, then folded itself in dizzying fashion into the shape of an owl with a movable beak.

"Origami alive?" Yun'an lifted the little owl and put it in the palm of his hand, lightly.

"There should be a flexible chip inside, it's a small robot." Shano took off his glasses and took a closer look.

"Hi everyone, I'm your lovely little travel assistant, Zawba, and I will arrange your itinerary to Whitsunday Island." said the origami owl.

Yun An: "What a rebellious name..."

"The name is chosen by the master. If you need anything, you can call me 'Zawba Zawba' at any time~" The owl jumped from Yun'an's palm to his shoulder, and then flapped its thin paper wings to fly to the top of Cang Xing's head and burrowed into him. brunette.

Cang Xing saw this kind of robot beyond common sense for the first time, took it off, held it, stared at it for a while, and then suddenly joined hands together.

Snapped.

With a crisp sound, the claws were covered in the middle, as if killing a mosquito.

Both Yun An and Shanuo gasped.

"...is he dead?" Yun An asked.

"No! But please let me go!" Claw protested in his palm, struggling desperately: "Stupid humans, please don't physically attack robots!"

So Xing suddenly spread his palms again, and the origami that had been flattened just now staggered upright, returned to its original shape, and said seriously: "Do you know how much it costs to repair a soft robot, sir, please watch your words and deeds!"

Xing looked indifferent, and asked, smoking a cigarette, "Is your master Norman? He sent you to pick us up to Whitsunday Island?"

Claw nodded: "Correct."

"Why should I trust you?"

"If you want to get the Zhanfeng gun, you have no other choice." Zhaba held his head high and held his chest high: "At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a yacht waiting for you at the Golden Port Wharf. Our service is very comprehensive~"

The claws flew up and landed on the clothes hanger far away from Cang Xing: "Gentlemen, please rest as soon as possible, there will be a morning call at 06:30 tomorrow morning~"

The next day, Golden Harbor Wharf.

Jaws was right, they had no choice but to obey.Besides, Holy Spirit Island is said to be the small island where Liang Shiheng was born, so Cang Xing wanted to visit it no matter what.

On the way from the hotel to the pier, the claws have been perched in Cang Xing's hair, explaining the history of the Holy Spirit Island like a tour guide, and showing off how generous his master is, how much he admires Yin Qi civilization, and Norman How luxurious the manor is.

"Holy Spirit Island was not originally called Holy Spirit Island. It was just an ordinary island. The islanders made a living by fishing. Until one day, a famous warlock Liang Shiheng came out here. People renamed the island Holy Spirit to commemorate him. Island. Because Liang Shiheng likes roses, the island is full of roses." Zawba said.

The group of them boarded the yacht, feeling like they were part of some high society.It was the first time for Yun An, Cang Xing, and Shanuo to take a yacht. There were only three of them on board, plus the small robot guide Jawba. The facilities were luxurious, and all drinks, meals, and desserts were provided by self-service machines.

There is a promotional brochure of Whitsunday Island on the seat, what to enjoy the sunshine all year round, the pure sea, the golden beach, the pictures are fascinating, several beauties in bikinis are holding cocktails, or biting the red cherries on the ice cream , people can't help but imagine that this is definitely a holy place on earth.

Cang Xing flipped through a few pages of the manual, saw Liang Shiheng's introduction and illustrations above, and just smiled lightly.Continuing to turn back, I had a question about one of the promotions: "Zawba, why can Whitsunday Island enjoy sunshine all year round? Is there no time zone restriction?"

Jawpa replied immediately: "There is an EID energy tower in the waters near the Holy Spirit Island, which is open all year round and brings plenty of sunshine to the island. By the way, this is funded by our master."

"Sponsoring the eid energy tower?" Yun An sipped his Coke and shook his head: "This is the most extravagant project I've ever heard of."

"Our master likes the sun very much. He has always yearned for the life of the Yin Qi civilization where he worked at sunrise and returned at sunset, so this investment is very necessary." Zawba said proudly.

"I really can't understand the interest of rich people."

"There are still many things you don't understand, kid." Zawba seemed to be smiling.

At 08:30, the yacht started, and it ran very smoothly on the sea without any bumps.Cang Xing looked out the window and watched the pier gradually move away, turned his eyes back, and suddenly found that one of the clocks hanging on the wall was a normal clock, and the other was a countdown.The countdown shows that there are still six hours to reach the Whitsunday Island.

Alpha City to Whitsunday Island spanned almost the entire hemisphere. A simple estimate shows that the speed of this yacht is completely beyond the normal level.

Cang Xing feels that everything here inadvertently shows some kind of far-leading technology: yachts with amazing speed, origami robots embedded with chips... What is more frightening is that the other party receives and transmits messages extremely quickly. After learning that they had robbed the Zhanfeng Gun, they immediately sent out an invitation—as if their every move was being monitored.

Cang Xing recalled his opportunity to find the Zhanfeng gun: the stranger he met in the hospital who brought Dr. Shanmu a bouquet of real flowers, why did he remind himself?Is this trip to the Holy Spirit Island also in his expectation?

Who is he?

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and the image of Heathwell jumped out in front of her eyes. She was wearing the uniform gray vest of the archaeologists, and she looked haggard, as if she was still angry about what happened yesterday.

"Hey, good morning." Yun An greeted.

"Where are you now? Look at the background...it's a ship?" Heathwell asked suspiciously.

"You may not believe it, but we are going to Holy Spirit Island soon." Yun'an waved his hand and called Zawba over, "Zawba Zawba, explain the current situation to this lovely lady."

So this little origami owl stood on Yun'an's finger, with its beak opening and closing, and clearly explained the reasons for their going to the Whitsunday Island, which took 2 minutes.

Unsurprisingly, Siswell turned purple when he heard it: "You must be crazy. Does Dr. Sophia know about this? She is the guardian now, and all your actions must be reported."

"Please, are you our mother? We don't have infectious diseases on us, so we have to register sooner or later when we go out to sea." Yun An said.

Siswell wanted to explain: "I didn't mean that, I just—" She glanced at the robot's claws, but suddenly stopped talking, and her expression suddenly became much more serious.She moved her body twice, crossed her hands, was silent for a while, and said briefly: "In short, I wish you success."

"?"

For a moment, Yun'an didn't realize why Siswell hesitated to speak.But at this moment, a series of laughter suddenly erupted from the paw, which was so crisp and frightening.

"This lady has a high awareness of security, is she afraid that I will eavesdrop on your secrets? Indeed, my chip can store all your conversations, but there is no need for this~"

A red light flickered on the chest of the paw, making people suddenly realize that under its cute appearance and ghostly name, the core is still an artificial intelligence that is feared by humans.Now, apart from Heathwell, the three people on the boat also looked at it vigilantly.

"I don't need this, because I already know your secret." Zawba narrowed his eyes, and Little Wing pointed:

"Cang Xing, the gatekeeper 3000 years ago, the madman Arsenia; Shano, the last knight from the scorched desert city; and you two young people, both members of WF. You are going to Looking for the second relic..."

"How do you know?" Cang Xing asked.He didn't show a particularly surprised expression like others, but sat on a chair with deep eyes.

"Shh, this is a little secret between us, don't let others know, not even Dr. Sophia from WF~" The red light on Zawpa's chest is still flashing: "The person you are going to meet not only knows WF everything, and besides the silly pseudonym of Norman, he had another, more widely known name——

"Helios."
