How Am I Still Alive?

"Factory" is a semi-free secret realm, which contains a lot of secrets, and its controller is unknown, or even non-existent.

Among them, the "depot" is always in a high-risk state. Weird giant beasts and machines are constantly attacking each other, and an endless "behemoth movie" is staged. Didn't come back) But as long as you don't get close, you can really watch it as a movie.

The "distillery" is more subtle, similar to the place of treasure and trial, it is not very dangerous and there are "doornails" to pick up everywhere, it can be regarded as a local newcomer area.

By the way, the winery does have wine, but it seems that only locals can consume and drink it. Many outsiders tried it and lost themselves.

Further afield? As far as the current situation is concerned, there are still power plants, garbage disposal plants, etc., but due to excessive danger, no one goes there.

The current commercial and residential areas are the dormitory areas for "factory employees". Except for some extremely dangerous "office workers" who come back to sleep at dusk, they are relatively safe.

Although it maintains the style of a large factory in the 1970s and 1980s, it was actually discovered in the early 1990s. After investigation by experts, it is not a false history repeated repeatedly, but a cut-off space. .

why? unknown.

But some people say that a god is imprisoned here, or a god-level strange monster.

In the world of the Keeper of Secrets, knowing too much will only lead to misfortune for the weak, while those with sound minds will not pursue too much.

In a sense, it is precisely because of too many "unknowns" and "risks" here that led to joint law enforcement by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and the military several times, all of which were based on "the other party escaped and may enter unknown areas", "street There are no customers on the Internet, and the legitimate goods sold in the store" is the end. Of course, the root cause is that he has the value of existence.

Andri, whose real name is a code of unknown characters, is a steam elf in the human mouth, a member of the small maintenance machine puppet group of the "factory\

,"They are the derivatives and products of the entire factory, responsible for the maintenance of common equipment such as pipelines, factory areas, and living areas.

But as an intelligent creature, while completing his own work, he must also have certain hobbies and extravagant demands. At least, such a role setting is comprehensive.

And Andri's hobbies are a little bit special, which also gave him a slightly subtle name on the human side.

"'Newcomer Antlion' Andri, is this your meeting ceremony?" Lu Ping'an smiled and read out the address in the information.

This bad name shows his long-term bad behavior of deceiving newcomers and leading them into traps.

It is true that steam elves will not attack outsiders. Their design functions do not have the duties of "protection" and "warning". Facing the attacks of outsiders, they can only fight back blindly and ignorantly instinctively, just like a broken vacuum cleaner.

As a server, he doesn't even have a lie module, but bypassing his own restrictions to deceive people is one of his interests.

"It's so interesting, newcomer, you recognized me and followed me?" Little Andri was a little curious.

This is the "alley" he used most often, but the two thugs who acted as "traps" were already lying on the ground.

Although these were two professionals with average strength, their disappearance so soon was enough to prove the strength of the young man in front of him. The elf was a little curious.

Lu Pingan smiled, and there was indeed an undisguised disappointment in his words. "I was also counting on you to bring me something interesting, and it turned out...that's it?"

"Human, may I know your name?"

"Safe road, safe road, safe road, safe road."

"The recording is complete." A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the little elf. After this memory is recorded, even if it is "returned to the factory for remanufacturing", it will not forget the person in front of it.

"Do you need tour guide service? Mr. Lu Ping'an." As if the betrayer was not himself, the elf asked the same words.

But this time, the exchange of names itself also means the establishment of a service contract.

"Of course, find something interesting for me." Lu Pingan smiled and directly stated his needs.

In the following period of time, little Andri also fulfilled his duties as a tour guide and introduced a bunch of interesting places to Lu Pingan.

The ground of the factory area was soaked in blood, and the "meat block" was running like an assembly line, reminding Lu Pingan of his processing plant in the port area. Perhaps, this is where some of the products outside are produced. It seems that humans and foreigners are not the same when it comes to cruelty to the weak. There is no difference, except that the result of one is sales and the result of consumption.

"Don't get me wrong, there are a few gangs here. Although they call themselves the church, everyone actually calls them gangs. Uh, these guys don't have the guts to provoke the secret service team like this. Most of the raw materials are clones obtained in some way , You see, do they look exactly the same?"

"Most? That's a small part."

"The replica is high quality and cheap, and the price is very high, but the quality is still not as good as normal people. If you have money, you can order specific products. If you need a style, tell me, I can give you a 20% discount, Of course, even so, I still have a 10% commission."

When Lu Pingan walked into this apparently illegal black factory, the guard only glanced at the leading black elf, and then ignored the curious Lu Pingan.

On the contrary, when Lu Pingan came out, they were a little surprised, and they seemed to regard Lu Pingan as a "commodity" delivered to the door by the black elf.

And Lu Ping'an's calm behavior as if shopping, made them dare not move when they were ready to move.

In the antique shop full of strange and strange items, the weird lion-headed guard asked Lu Pingan a bunch of philosophical questions.

Including the unsolvable answer of "your mother and wife fell into the river, who will you save?" leads to quite subtle answers.

"Of course it's mom, I don't have a wife."

"You will have some in the future." This lion head is very humane.

"There won't be." Lu Pingan said firmly.

The big lion head was silent, it could tell the lie, the other party really thought so.

"For example, as if she exists."

"How can we compare things that can't exist? Purely fictional assumptions can only lead to meaningless results. I'm not interested in playing lip service with you." Lu Pingan calmly looked at each other like a child.

Well, this talk really can't go on, Lion Head decisively turned in.

"...There is a train rushing over. On the two tracks, one is 100 people who have nothing to do with you, and the other is your friends. You have a mechanism for change in your hand, which side do you choose?"

"How can a hundred people be tied to one track?"

"Assumption, assumption, this assumption could happen, so it makes sense, the previous answer does not count."

"Then I can know, what level is that friend over there? Good friend? Girlfriend? Wine and meat friend? If I make such a choice, will it be known by the outside world and lead to my social death?"

Lu Ping'an's plain words made the lion head angry as always, but he could only grit his teeth and make up for more "conditions".

In the end, after half an hour, Lu Pingan, who made up at least fifty conditions, replied with great interest:

"Oh, she's my childhood sweetheart, she's pretty close, and we had a love triangle once. Everything that happens here will be reported, no matter what I choose, I'm sure I'll be socially dead, but any one of those hundred people There is no communication within six people with me. Actually, you don't need to add so much, I will definitely choose 'friends' when this topic comes up, the life and death of strangers is none of my business."

Lu Ping'an was still very dull, but the Sphinx on the opposite side immediately exploded, so what's the point of it nagging so much!

"are you crazy?!"

"You just know?!"

The truth, the unquestionable truth.

The Sphinx, who likes to talk and even nag the most, only has a head left, but at this moment, he doesn't want to talk.

But judging from the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, he should be teasing the cat on purpose.

"Would you rather choose someone who loves you, or someone you love"

"You're joking again, let's not mention whether I will have love or a lover, let's define what love is, is it a chemical reaction, or a sociological contract, or..."

The third joke. At least Lu Pingan thought it was a joke. After a long seesaw, it ended in the helplessness of the lion head.

After leaving the store without buying anything (couldn't afford it), Lu Pingan casually asked his tour guide.

"If you can't answer, lie, or break your defense when asked, will you be eaten?"

"No, just bite off your right arm. Haven't you heard the allusion about the lion's head that discerns lies?"

"No. Oh, if you lose your hand, you can still go to the store next door to spend? You can get a share by the way?"

"That's right, it's a pity that I didn't make any money, but judging from the results, it's pretty good. I want to play again. Do you have a new goal? This time, I'll let you choose."

After playing around, Lu Pingan also received a small gift from the Sphinx.

[Dalyan (young Sphinx) Blessing of Wisdom (Silver Rank): As a result of defeating the Holy Beast of Wisdom, your understanding will increase significantly within three days. 】

A seemingly useless little blessing, but Lu Pingan was a little happy, and even took the initiative to contact the tour guide to change his shopping plan.

"Introduce me to some books and props that cannot be bought outside, interesting ones are preferred"

What? Business? Is there business? Such an interesting place, if you don't see it more, you will lose money. Naturally, you should make good use of the time you spend on paid travel.

Mistake? Xia Qin gave Lu Pingan three days. As an old social animal, Lu Pingan naturally knew what "three days for one day's tasks" meant?

"Is this telling me not to go back for three days? A big cleaning? Or something that is not suitable for me to participate in? Forget it, it doesn't matter, let's play and see first."
