Chapter 2013 The Crazy Collector
Ximala, her birthplace is unknown, her true identity is unknown, and her abilities are unknown. She only knows that she often appears on different planets and collects all kinds of things, and she does so without any knowledge. The owner agreed that as long as it took a fancy to it, it would take it away in some way, so it was called the Space Phantom Thief.
The word 'stealer' points out its occupation, and the word 'strange' means that most of the things it steals are of little value and are usually left there with basically no one paying attention, so that it is Himala had been stealing for a long time, and the owner suddenly realized that his things were missing.
Humans were able to find out that their things were missing immediately, thanks to the fact that Himala stole only large items. If it were replaced by small items, it would probably be like many planets, until Himala had already fled far away, only to realize that the things were gone. Even if the identity of the thief was found out, it would be of no avail.
The reason why Himala, the most unpopular thief in the universe, is still active today is not because of its strength or its ability to escape, but because the value of stealing is quite low.
Not to mention other planets, let’s talk about the lost things on the earth. Apart from the small town, they are just a bunch of old buildings and some earth and rocks. To be honest, if it didn’t involve the safety of hundreds of humans, TPC would never have launched it. With so much effort in investigating, the best they can do is send an investigation team to conduct a pretentious investigation and wait for time for the people to forget about this matter.
It's like losing something at home. If it's a huge sum of money, you'll be chasing it forever. But if it's just the floor mat at the door that's lost, you'll just mutter a few words, let alone call the police, and you won't even look for it. .
Ninety percent of the items Himala stole during his career were like this. In the eyes of the owner of the item, it was probably just a floor mat that had been used for a long time. No one would know it. Because he lost an old floor mat, and there was a massive global manhunt, he could only curse a few times, so Himara is only active today.
After looking through the information obtained by the people from Xia Prei, even Dagu couldn't help complaining: "There are such cosmic people."
"Maybe the universe is too big."
Chiba Makoto was not surprised. As big as the birds are, they can be found in any forest. As the universe is big, naturally, there are all kinds of people in the universe.
"Is Himara really hiding here?" Feiniao Xin looked at the old building in front of him, with its mottled exterior walls, rusty railings, and missing pieces of brick walls. , and there are messy wires. It looks like a dilapidated building that has been in disrepair. Will people from the universe live here?
“Most likely, yes.”
“It’s not a scam, right?”
“Probably not.”
"Oh, why?"
"Because." Chiba Cheng drawled, lowered his head, checked the gun in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone hates thieves, even if they are just Petty theft is also despised and annoying. ”
“.That’s true!!!”
While chatting, Dagu also completed an infrared scan of the building and found that there was a strong odor in an illegally built cabin in the building. Heat source, obviously there is equipment running in it.
“This is it,” Qianye Cheng raised his thumb, pushed open the safety lock, and said, “Asuka and I will go up, and Dagu and Fudo will go to the roof of the opposite building.”
"Understood!"
The people in casual clothes whispered, put their right hands into their pockets, held the Brest gun, divided into two teams, and ran towards their respective targets.
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Although Asuka Shin has tried to step as softly as possible, this building is too old. The stairs are narrow and the floors are low, so the echo of the footsteps is extremely loud, and there is no possibility of silencing the footsteps. Let Asuka Xin complain: "I should have known I had a rope gun."
"Why don't you just rappel down."
"Well, that's a way."
"Stop hiding, just rush up. People may have discovered us long ago." Chiba Makoto didn't hide it at all, he rushed up with big strides, It was precisely because he was so fast that the flying birds were chasing after him, so they couldn't slow down.
"Hey, have you discovered us? When did it happen? Didn't we disguise ourselves well?"
Asuka Shin was shocked and surprised. After so long, he has adapted to it. They have the style of the Space Adventure Team. They don't wear uniforms most of the time, and even the cars they drive are no different from the cars on the street.
After all, they were dealing with cosmic beings. Ula'ula's siren rushed over, and the cosmic beings heard it and ran away before they reached the place.
This time was no exception. As usual, he was dressed in casual clothes and driving. How could he be discovered after climbing three floors?
"Because." Chiba Cheng raised his finger and pointed to the corner of the ceiling, and asked Asuka Shin to look over. At a glance, he discovered an old camera on the peeling and crumbling ceiling.
“.Space people still have cameras???”
Asian birds are incredible, this is a space person, shouldn’t it be high-tech and new equipment? How can it use surveillance probes like humans? Well, it’s still such an old surveillance camera. Not to mention TPC, even large luxury shopping malls no longer use this kind of old-fashioned camera. They have long been replaced by high-end, grand, and high-end smart cameras. But as for the cosmonauts, in Laochao, Install an old-fashioned probe like this.
This is too retro.
When Feiniao was vomiting in confidence, they, who were very agile, also rushed to the top floor and saw a small shack built with wooden boards and tarpaulin at a glance.
The height is only 1.5 meters and the size is a little larger than a car. There is probably not enough space for a person to lie down.
"That's it?"
Asuka Shin feels that today is the day to break the stereotype. Who said that people in the universe are all crazy and cool? Isn't the one in front of me very down-to-earth.
As soon as this shack was built, the image of a refugee was established.
"Let's go!" Qianye Cheng walked over immediately, raised his hand to open the thick curtain, then bent down and got in.
Asuka Shin followed closely behind, bent down and got in, then immediately raised his gun to aim, and then his eyes widened in shock.
Because what he saw was not a cramped little dark room, but a sky and earth so vast that he could not see the edge at a glance.
There were white clouds floating in the sky, stretching into mountains. The sunset, which was about to set on the horizon, reflected the red color with a little golden outline, which immediately attracted Asuka Xin. The beautiful sunset is really rare.
On the ground, there are houses of different heights and different shapes. There are flowers, grass and trees in front of and behind the houses, and there are paths, making it look like a quiet and peaceful town. , outside is a large field and a pond. Under the setting sun, the waves are sparkling, like silver clouds falling in the sky. "It's so beautiful."
Asukaxin murmured to himself and couldn't help but praise.
"Yes, this is the most beautiful sunset."
The unfamiliar voice came into Asuka Xin's ears, causing him to 'wake up' and immediately turned his head. I saw a blue-skinned cosmonaut wearing a black cloak, standing by the guardrail, staring into the distance with his red eyes.
"Spaceman!"
Asuka Shin immediately turned the Brest gun around, aimed at the cosmonaut who looked acceptable, and shouted: "Ximara, you are under arrest."
Ximara is the leader. Without looking back, he just admired the scenery and sighed, saying: "What a wonderful sunset, even if it is on the ground The ball is also rare. I have been looking for it for so long and waited for so long before I finally found this most beautiful moment and saved it to stay in this moment forever.”
“. Why don't you use a camera?" Chiba Cheng has been observing this place since he came in.
The sunset is beautiful and the scenery is beautiful, but it is fixed.
The clouds did not move with the wind, and the setting sun no longer set. Even the people on the street stood motionless, just like the models in the store, but they were so vivid that they were covered by the horizon. The setting sun reflected the bright red color, as if bathing in blood, which made people feel a strong sense of strangeness, and could not help but feel a little frightened.
"How can photos compare with this?" Himala became excited when she mentioned this, her voice rose a lot, and she clenched her fists and shouted: "Such a beautiful scenery can only be felt by seeing it with one's own eyes." Beauty, no photo or video can show one percent, no, one ten thousandth of it at this moment.”
“Well, actually, our earth is also developing VR, and we already have mature virtual reality. , in terms of the universe, such technology should Be more mature."
"Here, these are heresies," Unexpectedly, Himala became even more excited, and started hammering the railing with both hands, shouting loudly: "No matter how realistic it is, it is still fake. No matter how good a computer is, it is still a simulation. Only the real beauty can bring people a shock from the soul."
"You are so old-fashioned, haha." The corner of Qianye Cheng's mouth twitched, why can't this cosmic person still practice the methods of his ancestors? Change this thing.
Human beings are immersed in virtual reality, admiring the magic of technology and intoxicating the reality of cyber beauty. As a result, this cosmonaut from an alien planet with more advanced technology is conservative and shouts "Real Scene" More real'.
It's just
"So you think this kind of scenery is the most real?"
Chiba Cheng raised his finger and pointed at the immobile crowd on the street below, and said: "The real scenery, isn't it? It will be fixed on a certain place and never move. The reason why the beautiful scenery is shocking is because it is rare and short-lived.
Have you ever seen the sunrise?
In the dark night, you walked up the mountain step by step through the dew, and then shrank in the cold wind on the top of the mountain, waiting anxiously on the horizon. When it turned white, I raised my phone, widened my eyes, and held my breath, not even breathing loudly for fear of disturbing the sun.
Until the golden sun jumped up from the horizon, and the burst of cheers in an instant broke away all the fatigue of the night. There was only a heart full of joy and a spontaneous sense of satisfaction, until I went down the mountain and even returned home. Reminisce about the beauty of the rising sun.
Since then, even though a long time has passed, I may have forgotten who I climbed the mountain with, nor how tired I felt along the way, nor what the rising sun looked like. But I can recall the joy, cheers and deep sense of satisfaction at that time.
This is the meaning of beautiful scenery! "
After listening to Qianye Cheng's words, Himara was silent for a long time before speaking: "What's the point of this? If you forget, doesn’t it mean you didn’t see it? "
"It is meaningful just because you have forgotten it," Chiba Makoto lay on the railing, looking at the setting sun in the distance and the sky full of sunset, and said: "If you always remember it, you will lose your aftertaste. meaning; if you always remember it, you will have no interest in visiting it again; if you always remember it, you won’t want to go anywhere else. ”
Asuka Shin, who had always been nervously aiming his gun, listened to Qianye Cheng's words and nodded in agreement.
It's like eating a great meal. If you miss this taste all the time, everything else you eat will taste just like wax. You won't want to look for other foods, and you won't taste it. to a variety of dishes.
Just like Himala, it is obsessed with the sunset at this moment, and is even crazy enough to keep this sunset. Then it will not see other sunsets, and it will not be able to see other sunsets. Time, the sunset elsewhere.
Ximara stole the sunset at this moment, but in turn, the sunset at this moment also trapped Ximara.
“Let go, Himara,” Chiba Cheng turned his head and said to Himara: “You said that virtual reality is fake, but is it true?
< br>
The real sunset will never stop. The real scenery is always changing. You say that photos are not as good as real scenes, but what is the difference between frozen scenery and photos? They are all dead things. "
Asuka glanced around with his peripheral vision. It was indeed true. The scenery was all frozen. It would not be an exaggeration to say it was a 360-degree photo.
So As a result, Asuka Shin couldn't help but said: "Yes, this is just a big photo, you might as well take a video and play it on a loop. "
"Then I will cut this section out of time and let this beautiful scenery live forever. Himala said through gritted teeth.
“Well, that’s not what I meant. "Asuka Shin was shocked and quickly waved his hands, trying to withdraw what he just said casually.
"Oh, looping is alive. What's the difference between that and continuous photos?"
The successive denials made Himala, who was obsessed with the beautiful scenery, explode, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Death It’s impossible, this is the most beautiful scenery, the most beautiful sunset. Look, it’s so beautiful, look, it’s so intoxicating.”
Asuka Shin tilted his head and whispered to Chiba Makoto: "Well, Captain, it seems that you said it was broken."
"I'm just telling a fact."
While the two were discussing, Himala turned around and yelled at them: "Those who don't know how to appreciate, get out of here."
As he spoke, Himara's red eyes became brighter, causing Qianye Cheng and Asuka Shin to immediately dodge aside.
As soon as the two of them left the place, Himala's eyes as bright as incandescent lamps shot out two red laser lines, which hit the ground with a loud bang and exploded. Fierce sparks.
The reinforced concrete floor slab was blasted with a loud noise and sparks, creating a deep pit as big as a washbasin. It also penetrated the floor slab that was ten to twenty centimeters thick, exposing the bottom. The first floor was also dark, and only the outlines of some objects could be barely seen.
