Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

At seven o'clock in the morning local time, Kant crawled the embankment and climbed up the Thames bank.

He has been smuggled to London.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon in China, and it was early morning in London. With the cool river wind blowing through London, he evaporated the remaining moisture from his body with the power of fire thieves.

I chose to land on this section of the river, because looking up is the majestic London Eye. This huge city landmark was once the largest Ferris wheel in the world, from which you can overlook the whole of London.

"Want something to eat?"

Iron Son's voice sounded in his ears: "Father, just south of you, a short walk, there is a well-known local British food shop."

Kant said casually: "What is it?"

Horus replied, "The British Fish and Chips Restaurant."

"…"

Kant was about to roll his eyes when he suddenly looked south, the direction indicated by Horus.

He frowned. "What is that place?"

Horus looked at the building over there: "British Fish and Chips Restaurant."

"And what else? Such a big building can't be a place full of people looking up at the stars, right?"

Kant's expression was a little strange. For some reason, when he looked at the building, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart... He was inexplicably concerned.

Horus, who had already recorded the map in advance, replied immediately: "Oh, that is a famous horror spot in London, the London Dungeon, which contains most of the horror legends and **** pasts of England for more than 2,000 years, such as Jack the Ripper, the **** Mary, the Black Death, the Great Fire of London... blah blah blah."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a happy factory in England in the 18th century? Using child labor, the average life expectancy of workers is fifteen years old, malnourished, sleep deprived, polluted, and women have to run to pull coal?"

"Not at all."

"Does that have women's rights? Queen Victoria, as a woman, cursed women suffragettes and opposed women's political rights. Is this faithfully recorded?"

"It doesn't seem to be either."

"Ah."

Kant shrugged and looked back, his right hand fluttered, the light was distorted, his figure was illusory, he fled into the void, and then threw the coin in his hand into the air: "Go to the London Eye."

At this time, the famous Ferris wheel attraction has not yet opened, but it is not a problem for Kant. He does not want to go in and sit, but to occupy a favorable location. From the London Eye, you can overlook the whole city. Climbing high and looking into the distance is conducive to judgment. Orientation, planning a route, making a plan.

Sitting on the top of the highest cockpit, Kant put on a Horus-type telescopic visor and looked at the whole city, tsk tsk: "Oh, here it is, yes, this is the Capitol Building, um, Big Ben..."

Horus asked, "Father, have you been to London before?"

"Of course!" Kant said proudly, "When I was a child, my grandfather hammered Yuri's army here."

"…"

Kant's eyes turned to the other side again, and immediately shouted: "I see the maid!"

The Belfast War Museum is parked on the Thames River, six or seven kilometers away from the Ferris Wheel, not far from the famous Tower Bridge in London. She is now the same as Iowa, and it has become a warship museum-due to the efforts of civil foundations , saving her from being dismantled.

Kant's eyes swept past, and he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, compared to Iowa's 406 roots, the head maid did not need to copy it for free.

He glanced around the city briefly, and then said, "Where is An Youyi's accident?"

The target position is marked on the visor screen.

Kant turned his head and looked to the west, on the other side of the Thames, opposite the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey, and two or three kilometers away, is Buckingham Palace - Buckingham Palace Garden and Hyde Park are slightly bordered, while Hyde Park Near the north side is the residential area where An Youyi had an accident.

Really good location.

Adjacent to the famous Hyde Park, full of greenery, nearby is the most prosperous business district in London - the heart of the Kensington business district, where all needs can be solved.

It is said that this residential area is favored by the rich all over the world. The most famous "One Hyde Park" has an average price of more than 60,000 pounds per square meter, and there is no market for it.

The disparity between the rich and the poor on the planet is truly outrageous.

"The location is good." Kant said while observing, "The incident is not far from No. 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. I can't find An Youyi. It is very convenient to go to Euler Britons."

For Kant, a few kilometers of road is not a road.

He took out his mobile phone, dialed the satellite phone, and quickly connected, Qin Mengjin's voice sounded: "Are you here?"

Kant said indifferently: "I'm about to rush to the place of the incident - the British still haven't let go?"

"Yes." Qin Mengjin said helplessly, "Yesterday, the police were dispatched to block the crime scene, and the incident was very turbulent, but today's major newspapers and news websites in the UK did not mention this matter. I am afraid that the British side used administrative means to It's suppressed - it's normal, London is home to too many rich people and students from all over the world, and they won't let this vicious case spread unchecked."

Kant said calmly: "Or maybe, the water in this matter is deeper than we thought."

He jumped and jumped off the 135-meter-high Ferris wheel.

The feather fall technique was activated, he landed in the air, walking without stopping, all the way south, from Westminster Bridge, across the Thames, speeding along the road, passing Parliament Square, entering St. James's Park, until reaching the Queen Victoria Monument, saw Bi From the humble Buckingham Palace, where tourists gather, the traditional tourism project is to watch the changing of the guard ceremony here.

This is the Queen's Palace.

—I have a chance to see you again.

Turning around, detouring westward, entering the Constitution Mountain Road, stepping on the gravel and dirt road that is not accessible to cars, Kant and Qin Mengjin kept in touch, learning about the new progress during this period.

The Brits displayed a very unexpected discord...even arrogance.

Although they responded to the request of the Chinese side and quickly dispatched the police to deal with the An Youyi incident, in the next dozen or so hours, the British side refused to inform the Chinese side of the progress of the case, and even prevented members of the local embassy from inquiring and investigating the case. They just promised the Chinese side that they would do their best to search and rescue the victims, but they refused to tell the Chinese side how far the case was detected.

There were no suspects, no case progress, and even surveillance footage would not be shared.

"Although I persuaded you before to avoid revealing to the British side that you were planning to interfere in this matter..." Qin Mengjin's voice was hesitant, "Do you want to think about it now?"

Because the situation is different.

Previous research by the national special department believed that as long as secret state channels were used to declare a serious attitude to the British and let them understand that this was not a simple case of missing citizens, then the British would pay attention, and the British state violence agency Take action and crack a simple hijacking case.

But the uncooperative attitude of the British made everyone smell something wrong.

At this time, it may be really useful to carry the banner of Kant. A country that is far apart, has insufficient power projection, and has deep economic cooperation, there is really nothing that can be done against you for a while. The strongest in the world has Superpowers with extreme nationalist tendencies, just ask if you are afraid of the future?

"—don't tell them."

Kant said lightly: "The situation is now obvious, we have to consider the worst possibility - that is, the British are not arrogant and arrogant to us and don't care about An Youyi, but this matter is not simple. Either they dare not investigate the kidnapping case, or they don't want to investigate it, no matter what kind, it is a shock to announce to the British that I am going to interfere in this matter."

He said in a calm tone: "I don't care what they do with An Youyi, at least they won't die for a while, and at least there is a chance to be rescued, but if the British know I'm here, then An Youyi is likely to die. She's dead... In the current situation, first of all, we must ensure that she lives well."

Qin Mengjin sighed: "Yes... you decide."

Kant has already arrived in London, so next, we can only count on Kant's calmness and restraint.

Passing through Wellington Arch and entering Hyde Park, the park is flat and quiet. Except for a few monuments, there are few man-made buildings. The benches on the roadside are donated by residents. Men and women are sitting on the lawn doing morning exercises. In a hurry in the precipitous early cold.

They are students of South Kensington Boys' Technical College, and the dormitory and campus are separated by an entire park. This is their fastest way to school, and it is almost the only way to go.

By the way, Hyde Park is also the famous Baoyan Road for this school.

The reason was that a handsome and pleasant Korean male student went to Hyde Park at night on a whim, and was caught by a passerby who was picking chrysanthemums under the east fence. Get permanent residency, not to mention your studies.

So there are urban rumors that if the juniors and seniors fail to graduate, it is better to go to Hyde Park. Both men and women have the opportunity. This is much more advanced than in China.

It is worthy of being a developed country, and it is good to do equal rights for men and women.

While exchanging information and confirming plans with Qin Mengjin, Kant looked at the surrounding scenery. There are several types of roads in Hyde Park—sand roads for morning jogging, cement roads for bicycle exercise, and horse paths for horseback riding. Kant heard The neighing of the horses, probably in the southeast direction, he saw two figures trotting on the horses in the distance, and the riders were strong and aristocratic.

He suddenly thought of the handsome guy who took a photo with An Youyi on the plane, and heard that he runs his own horse farm.

"The turtle son who chatted with An Youyi on the plane, as you said, the lord of the racecourse." Kant said, "Send me the address of his racecourse."

Qin Mengjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you still want to trouble him?"

"He looks like a dog, he is definitely not a good thing. Maybe he is suspected of committing a major crime. I think he is very wrong and not pleasing to the eye." Kant said casually, "I will find him after a while if there is no breakthrough in the investigation. Ask and persuade him to confess to be lenient and resist strictness.”

Sister Qin said helplessly: "Okay..."

"Oh, by the way, how's my AWSL company framework going? Is the coin dealer in place?"

...that's the investment department.

There was a crackling voice over there, Qin Mengjin typed and asked, and then replied: "The funds have been injected, as for the candidates, there are just a few outstanding talents from the Financial Affairs Bureau of the State Council and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of the People's Republic of China who have resigned due to personal reasons, and have been invited by your company. , They think that AWSL's company has excellent development prospects, so they are happy to join, oh yes, I want to ask you, who will be the general manager of the China branch?"

Kant replied: "Of course it is Kang Gong."

Originally, I planned to let my father work as a laborer for his son at the head office in Africa, but now the international situation is changing rapidly, and the in-depth cooperation between Kant and the country is too important, so I can't let my father go abroad, just to be a mascot in China. ,pretty good.

... Originally this candidate was Uncle Wang. After all, Kang Gong is also an engineer and has no other experience. Uncle Wang has been in the shopping mall for many years, at least he understands it.

However, Uncle Wang founded Fengqiao Group, a dignified star entrepreneur in Province Z, who has a name and a seat on the governor's side. How can he leave the great country behind and go to Kant to be a horse boy.

Of course, in the dead of night, it was not that Kant didn’t have any dark thoughts—for example, taking advantage of his power to make a management buyout for Fengqiao Group, swallowing up Uncle Wang’s hard work and merging it into AWSL, then Not only can you get the SR card of Uncle Wang, but you can also legally own all the industrial plants of the Fengqiao Group, and the world of Baiwu will be very happy.

As for the money spent on acquisitions, that's not a big deal.

Anyway, if it was given to Uncle Wang, it would be Xiaoman sooner or later.

—By the way, the above idea came from my mother’s hehehehe while eating at home. Her smirk with raised eyebrows meant another subtext.

Anyway, Xiaoman's will be yours sooner or later.

Turn left hand to right hand, wonderful, wonderful.

This thought crossed his mind, and he immediately said: "Then you can contact the coin distribution department. I will come to London for a visit this time. I plan to buy some properties here and make them ready."

The company's coin distribution department is on track, and it's time to set up teleporters around the world.

What's more, it's a despicable waste to wait for more than ten hours like this.

While speaking, he had left Hyde Park, entered the Paddington area, and went to the residential area where An Youyi had an accident - not far away, he had already realized the change in the atmosphere.

There are more police.

Going all the way under the guidance of Horus, Kant appeared in a deserted alley. He put on a windbreaker that was not obtrusive abroad, covered half of his face with a scarf, and walked towards the target as if nothing had happened. Walking around the block, the residential areas on this side of London are different from those in China. It is difficult to see that kind of fully enclosed community, but the block model is the main one, with row houses lining the streets.

There are more and more people coming and going, most of them are white and black, and a minority of Asians. This prosperous and legendary city is a foreign land. It is said that there are more than 300 languages ​​spoken in the city, with exotic customs and cultural differences, but this is not enough. Makes Kant uncomfortable - he has been to places unimaginable to earthlings.

He came here with a clear goal.

"That's it."

Kant stopped. It was a ten-story residential building, which was rare in London. He saw the police guarding the entrance and strictly inspecting everyone who entered.

In the distance, there are unwilling interviews with Che Lianzhan not to go, and there are also twos and threes of people gathering nearby. The hustle and bustle last night has already told everyone one thing - there is big news happening here.

"The British spy is creating obstacles... It is impossible to enter normally." Kant raised his head, An Youyi and the others lived on the seventh floor, "I hope they didn't clean up the scene."

Just then, there was a quarrel over there.

"We have a right to know what happened!"

"That's our compatriots, our classmates!"

"Who is responsible for this! Please tell us!"

Kant turned his head to look, and the one who was arguing fiercely with the police was the familiar yellow-skinned and black-haired person, who should be a fellow countryman, and it seemed that they didn't know anything...

The British police politely but indifferently refused their inquiries, with impatience on their cold faces.

Kant pondered for a while, there was no need to meet them-they seemed to be classmates of that Yu Luna, even if they knew something about Yu Luna, they would take the initiative to inform the embassy staff, and there was no need for him to have a dialogue and inquire. The details, what he has to consider now, is how to enter this apartment building.

"Excuse me... sir?"

There was a female voice asking around, Kant turned his head and saw a typical Western woman with blonde hair and blue eyes - she looked at least forty years old, her skin was old, her eyes were slightly dull, her cheeks were thin, and she had some mental features. Strange, she tried to pull the corners of her mouth, trying to show her friendliness.

"You are Chinese, right?"

She looked towards the front of the heavily guarded building. Several Chinese people left in anger. One girl was sobbing in a low voice, and another girl was comforting. The woman continued: "I'm sorry to hear about this, you Know the two missing girls too, right? I mean, you…”

Horus is translating these words in real time. After this period of study, analysis and exercise, Iron Son is already a qualified artificial intelligence translation software.

Kant interrupted the other party's words and said lightly: "Who are you?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out her hand: "My name is Sarah Lynn. I heard about what happened to the two girls, but the police didn't want to reveal more. I want to help them..."

"Are you a reporter?"

"No, I'm a member of Help All Victims," ​​the woman said, "I..."

"Women's rights organization." Kant had lost all interest when he heard this, and he said calmly, "This is not a place for you to make sensational big news to deceive sponsors and touch porcelain, leave."

He turned to leave, but the woman took two quick steps to stop him and said sternly, "Sir, you seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about us, but I do want to help those two innocent girls."

Kant said impatiently: "They are not innocent, they are hateful Chinamen, the kind you hate and hate the most, you don't have to use them as a fuss to attack us, so loving, you might as well care about freezing to death in the cold chain The Vietnamese in the truck, now, go away."

"There is no need to speak in such a sarcastic tone. I want to help them only because they need help. I neither hate nor hate them. I know their pain and helplessness. I..."

Kant stopped and looked at the chattering woman with indifferent and impatient eyes.

"Take care of yourself, ma'am," he said coldly. "It's haggard, with dull eyes, shortness of breath, and a slightly heavy nasal voice... It's time for you to take a breath. Are women's rights as fun as you are?"

Sarah Lin was startled, her face darkened, she subconsciously took two steps back, Kant snorted, put on the windbreaker and hood, never looked at her again, and disappeared into the crowd.

"baffling."

Kant went around to the back of the apartment building: "Now, let's find a way to get in."
