The elevator descended slowly, sending the two inside God's Residence.This dark and huge cave seems to be a lot more noisy than the last time Rosie came. don't know if it's because of the daytime, or if people really went out of the house to participate in some activities, and the chatter and laughter can be heard echoing under the dome wall from a distance.

With the light of the jellyfish on the top of the cave, Rosie squinted her eyes and looked far away, trying to see where the crowds gathered, but everywhere was covered in black veils, trapped in boundless darkness.

"Reservoir." Baishi seemed to see through his thoughts, pointing his finger with smoke in the direction of the pool, "I hired some male residents to help install the water purification system and dig a channel, so the reservoir is nearIt was a lively few days. Of course, their labor is paid, God's Residence has always distributed food per head, and these people will get an additional supply on the basis of distribution."

"I am in favor of the labor-remuneration form, maybe we should try to create more job opportunities." Rosie thought for a while, "The old distribution-reception form has made this place dead, when I came to God's Residence a few days ago, I almostNo voice has been heard that reform is imperative."

"'Reform is imperative', which sounds a lot like what the leaders of District Two would say." Bai Shijin had a smile in his eyes.

"Don't laugh at me." Rosie glanced at him helplessly. "It may be a year or a month before I return to the second district to help God's Residence move. Before that, the residents here also have the right to live a good life."

"The gasoline lamp you mentioned last time, I found an old antique on the black market. Even the slums in the city haven't used it for more than seventy or eighty years. Fortunately, I can use that old lampThis work is mainly handed over to women. Before long, we will probably be able to see the bright lights of the Shinmei Residence."

In order to avoid being noticed by the government, the electricity of God's Residence is strictly limited.After Shiraishi rejected the idea of connecting another cable, Rosie drew a sketch of a gasoline lamp and told the other party that there are still very few places in the second district that use this method for lighting.

Shiraishi's efficiency was extremely high, and he bought all the raw materials including gasoline the next day.Rosie asked anxiously: "Are the ingredients piled together, then..."

"Gasoline has someone to watch it, and it's separated by fireproof materials." Bai Shijin once again anticipated the question he was going to ask, and cut off in advance, "Don't be such a mother-in-law."

"Have all of you bounty hunters learned mind reading skills?" Rosie rubbed her forehead, feeling that she was completely transparent in front of the other party, and the feeling of being seen through made him a little uncomfortable.

"Who else but me?" Baishi asked knowingly.

"Deng Huailing, I even suspect that he has already noticed something is wrong." Rosie looked at the jellyfish worriedly, "I don't know how long we can keep it from him."

Baishi suggested: "In fact, there is no need to hide it from him. Deng Huailing also grew up in the second district. Although he is currently working for the government, between the government and the second district, he should choose the second district."

"He will choose the second district, not me. The second district does not have to be led by 'shu', as for the leader of 'shu', it doesn't matter who it is." Luoxi's expression was guarded, and his eyes gradually turned cold, "Did you know there was a way to keep Rosie by his side forever?"

Baishi was startled, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a question."Kill you?"

"No. I can't die. Rosie and my consciousness are tightly intertwined. Once my brain dies, the android will disappear. The best way is to perform surgery on the brain to destroy some areas, and then I will become a vegetable.I can only be at his mercy." Luo Xi raised his eyelashes and smiled, "You suggest that I take such a risk?"

"It's just speculation," Bai Shijin dismissed, "He may not be so cruel. But I agree with your approach, it's always good to be careful."

"You don't know Deng Huailing. If this is the only way to keep Rosie, he can do it." Luo Xi waved his hand, planning to leave in a bad mood, "Let's not talk about him, is the school set up? IYou have to visit the shrine."

"Xue Nai is waiting for you there." Bai Shi said briefly.He still disagreed with Rosie's pessimistic thoughts, but he was never used to interfering in other people's emotional life, so he simply kept silent.The two walked along the road for a while, and then parted ways, one went to the reservoir and the other to the shrine.

Rosie pushed open the door of the classroom, and she was not surprised to see that there was only Xue Nai sitting inside.A camel-colored soft carpet was newly laid on the ground, which was reflected in a dark color by the moonlight pouring in from the window. Six newly purchased rechargeable wall lamps were attached to the wall, but they were not lit. The girl knelt quietly on the ground, frowning in deep thought.

"Did Shiraishi buy a lamp?" Rosie clicked the switch, and the long-lost light illuminated the corner, "Why didn't you turn it on?"

He sat down cross-legged opposite the girl, and from his corner of the eye, he saw the holographic projector and the connected tablet placed in the center of the carpet, which were also rechargeable, "Huh? I remember that it wasn't on the shopping list for Shiraishi...he bought it anyway,I really care about your business."

"Hinbis always cares about me." There was a smile on Xue Nai's lips, but her expression immediately became distressed, and she said awkwardly, "Rosie, I'm sorry, I tried my best to visit families with children in God's Residence these days, and most of the parentsConvinced by me, I promised to help us build a new school, but none of the children came."

"...It was the same when the teachers were there in the past. They hated the knowledge taught in the school and gradually stopped coming. Maybe I am too useless to convince those children. I am really worried whether the school of God's Residence can be established."Xue Nai buried her head lower and lower, and her voice became smaller and smaller, grabbing the skirt of her clothes and not letting go.

"Are you unhappy because of this?" Rosie said with interest, "They don't want to come, so it's fine if they are tied up?"

"You mean kidnapping?" Xue Nai raised her head suddenly, staring at him with wide eyes, she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a pure bionic person.

"I'm just kidding." Rosie stopped quickly, hiding her bandit thinking, "There will always be a way. You have convinced those parents that you have done a great job at this age, Xue Nai."

He gently rubbed the girl's head, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to her.Ever since he met Xue Nai in God's Residence, he has been keeping it ready. Except for pocket knives, flashlights and other tactical items, every gap is filled with candies.

Xue Nai took it, and didn't peel it off, but properly hid the candy in the coat, like a squirrel storing food for winter.

Rosie looked at her with a smirk, then got down to business: "Do you know where those kids usually are? Is there a gathering place, or a group event so we can go out and find them."

"Yes, they usually gather in the tunnel, where there is a modified old game console." Xue Nai hurriedly got up, took him outside the classroom, and said worriedly while walking, "Rosie... remember not to resort to violence."

"Game console? Isn't God's Residence running out of electricity?"

"I stole the electricity from the projector." They were bathed in the faint light, Xue Nai looked up at the projected high-altitude jellyfish constantly swimming, "I acquiesced, everyone always needs a little entertainment.”

The two went out of the shrine and turned into the narrow path between the houses. The path of God's Residence was deep and winding, with twists and turns, but Xue Nai led Rosie through countless houses and arrived at a small corner as if she knew the road with her eyes closed.

This is already the edge of the cave, and the space is gradually approaching the end, with a hard and rough stone wall lying in front of it.Walking along the stone wall for a while, they came across a not-so-deep tunnel, from which there were faint sounds of children playing.

"It's a tunnel left by the government's construction back then, but it stopped halfway through the excavation, and now it is regarded as a secret base by everyone." Xue Nai stood hesitantly at the entrance of the cave.Outside the group, "Should we enter—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Rosie had already stepped into the tunnel without any hesitation.Flickering lights flashed in the darkness, and there were about 20 or 30 half-aged children surrounding the same game console. The screen was projected directly on the cave wall, as if it was a fighting game, and the sound effects of the fierce battle reverberated heavily.

"Opportunity! Qiyou, Qi You killed him!"

"Elbow hit elbow hit elbow hit! Hey, why are you throwing darts so close!"

"Qi You is going to win again this time, get down quickly, why don't you let me beat him!"

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you never beat him once?" The talking child slammed the handle angrily, staring at the "K.O."can win."

He jumped up from the ground, dusted his butt, and left the right handle for the next challenger.Rosie noticed that the children were divided into two rows, and only one person sat in front of the handle on the left, and the rest of the children gathered behind the handle on the right, taking turns to challenge that person, so he thought for a while and joined the queue on the right.

Seeing adults suddenly squeezed into the queue, the children all turned their heads to look at him. The lonely boy named Qi You on the left also turned his face, and gave him a gouging look, with cold and hard eyebrows.Rosie turned a blind eye, pointed at the boy and asked the group of children on the right:

"Is he the strongest among you?"

There was no sound in the crowd, and all the children looked at him cautiously, like a group of gophers sticking their heads out of a hole, their eyes following his position and constantly moving.

"Is there something on my face?" Rosie touched her face, puzzled, "Or do I look scary?"

The ever-changing and intertwined lights of the game are reflected on his face, even so, this face is still pretty, so gentle that people can't help but want to get close to it.Rosie doesn't know where his affinity comes from, but based on his previous experience in the second district, almost every child will like him, all he needs to do is communicate with him on an equal footing, it's as simple as that.

"Well, anyway, I'm here to join you in playing games. If there's no one in this seat, I'll take it." Rosie picked up the controller and looked at it for a while like studying a precision instrument.

He doesn't know anything about game consoles. No matter in the second district or the main city, people's entertainment time is occupied by the Magic Sea system. Physical game consoles are gradually being phased out in the torrent of the times, and they can enter museums in a few years.

A bold kid approached him timidly, and explained to him how to operate the buttons of each part. Rosie bent her eyes and said thank you. She took out a candy and put it in the opponent's hand, seeing the kid accept it flatteredly,Under the jealous eyes of others, he quickly retreated to the corner to protect the candy from being snatched away.

A flash of light came to Luoxi's mind. The standard meals of God's Residence are nutritional supplements, the kind Rosie and Deng Huailing drank at the gate of the police station. The taste is indescribable. These children should rarely even see candies.

He showed a sly smile, as if a wolf was trying to curl up its big tail and hide behind: "Don't grab it, everyone has it."

Fortunately, there is enough sugar today.He reached into his pocket and distributed it to each of the children. He glanced at Qi You who was sitting next to him. The young man was obviously the leader of the group of children.I couldn't help swallowing, and my throat rolled up and down.

Seeing it, Rosie walked over leisurely, opened her hands and smiled, "Do you want it? Do you want it?"

He repeated it several times, and Qi You silently looked at the candy in his hand, gritted his teeth and fought for a while, and finally raised his hand little by little, tentatively reaching out to him.

When the other party's fingertips were about to touch the palm of his hand, Rosie suddenly squeezed his palm and took the candy back."You glared at me just now." He bit his lower lip as if he just remembered something, and said full of grievances.

Satisfied to observe that Qi You's eyes suddenly turned from anticipation to gray, Rosie desperately restrained herself from bursting out laughing.It seems that his long eyelashes are trembling slightly, and he looks like he wants to speak and tears first, but in fact there is a nasty smile hidden behind the eyelashes, and he is so happy that he is about to bite his lips:

"You stared at me just now, so I won't give it to you."
