During dinner, Tianmake, who had been busy for almost a day, prepared a very sumptuous dinner and prepared to have a meal with William and Doji.

The two of them were enjoying the food on the dining table while talking nonsense.

William slowly cut the sausages in the plate with a knife, and his heart was gone. His mind was full of the five figures he saw in the hardware store this afternoon.

Finally, Tian Mark noticed something wrong with William today. He chewed the pork chop in his mouth quietly and asked.

"What's wrong with the child? Are you unhappy in school today?"

Upon hearing this, William raised his head, looked at the old man opposite him, and opened his mouth...

“………I am at Old John today…”

Tian Mark put down the tableware and listened quietly to his speech.

William's hands were tucked together, which showed that he was very complicated inside. Will his originally peaceful and beautiful life be destroyed by their appearance? So, will it cause a worse impact if he reused the "lock"?

William didn't know, but he understood that the next choice would probably have a huge impact on his future life.

"Five customers came...they are not humans."

Tian Mark was silent. In his opinion, William was the most outstanding existence he had ever seen among his peers. With his keen observation and thinking ability, coupled with his own identity, it should be a matter of time before he found the aliens around him.

He pondered for a while before he started a slow and steady tone and said

"Child, I think you could vaguely guess the nature of your father's work a long time ago..."

"We belong to the Tiangong Union, which is a secret organization that specializes in taking over events related to alien creatures. To the outside world, we are all called "hydropower workers."

William's hand was slowly clenched. He knew all these things, but William still listened carefully because he knew that what Tian Mark wanted to say next might be the key to help him make a choice.

"There are not only humans in this world, and even humans only occupy an insignificant part. Where we cannot see, there are brilliant alien civilizations standing among the universe. Only when we truly see them can we realize the insignificance of human civilization."

Tian Mark said, with a long-lost sigh in his eyes, as if he had returned to the time when he had just met this universe.

"However, for various necessary reasons, we must hide their existence under the eyes of the public until a certain time when human civilization reaches a certain level and can truly connect with alien civilizations."

William listened carefully to Tian Mark's words and nodded.

"I know that because of what happened four years ago, you have a sensitive hostility towards these alien visitors. For this reason, I have been working hard to remove their existence from your world..."

William was stunned, "Say that... these four years..."

Tian Mark nodded, "Actually, on this earth today, there are many alien residents who are kind to it. Under the supervision of the Tiangong Union, they live in seclusion here..."

"So... Uncle John is actually a plumber?"

"Well, that's right, the old John Hardware Store is one of the control stations for the Tiangong Union to temporarily live in alien creatures." Tian Mark nodded.

"No wonder" William knew it in his heart. No wonder his store was already like that and had not gone bankrupt yet.

"Actually, what I want to tell you is... alien creatures are not all bastards. On the contrary, most of them are ordinary citizens with good intentions, living ordinary lives in this universe on their own planet, no difference from us."

Tian Mark took a sip of water and moistened his throat. "The establishment of Liantian Trade Union was completed with the help of alien civilizations. Moreover, there are many plumbers who are not from the earth who are working hard for peace."

"The guys who killed your father back then were only a very small number of them and they didn't represent all alien creatures. William, do you understand?"

William was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"Come on, William... do you want to hear the story of your father and me back then?" Suddenly, Tian Mark pondered for a while and said.

William was a little surprised and looked at Tian Mark, "You have never told me in so many years."

"I've always been afraid that it will bring back bad memories of you, so I never told you."

Tian Mark smiled and said, "But now it seems that I should let you know more about them in order to untie the knot in your heart. And..."

Tian Mark's tone gradually softened, "I guess you will become an excellent plumber in the future, like your father..."

"……………” William was silent for a while, and slowly smiled for a while. "Well..."

Afterwards, Tian Mark began to gradually recall the story of that year, from his first time becoming a plumber, to his confrontation with Mojas, to his newcomer Jack, who gradually trained Jack from an intern plumber to an excellent professional plumber.

He knew comrades, enemies he had defeated, former lover, former commander...

Tian Mark's memory was gradually evoked, from the beginning when it needed to think about it to slowly remember it, and then it gradually became smooth. The light in his eyes became stronger and stronger. He gradually brought William, who was sitting opposite him, and with his words, he experienced the series of wars in the Milky Way that were in the first place...

"... Then, I retired." After a series of narratives, Tian Mark was not only not tired, but became more energetic. He touched William's head who had sat next to him at some point and asked, "How is it? Are you getting better?"

William exhaled deeply and nodded heavily. In fact, there are many things here that William already knew on the host of the Tiangong Union. However, as the recorder of the third perspective, the Tiangong Union's spiritual shock to William is never as good as the narrator of the first perspective. What's more, it is mixed with many Tiangong's life philosophy and smaller stories, which made William intoxicated.

"It's really wonderful..." William exclaimed sincerely, and then he stood up and gave Tian Mark a hug.

Tian Mark was stunned at first, then smiled, hugged William, and hammered his back with his fist. "Good boy, come on... I hope that one day, when I walked out of this dead knot, I could see you in the Tiangong Unity base."

"Thank you... Thank you." William's nose was a little sour and his eyes were slightly red.

"Okay, it's getting late, go and have a rest." Tian Mark said softly, then his tone changed, and he was in a happy tone. "Tomorrow we will spray paint the RV as a whole!"

…………………

…………………

Back in the room, William lay on the bed and took out the box under the pillow.

This time, he didn't worry anymore and took out the "lock".

"I was so stubborn before..." William couldn't help but smile.

In fact, it is a very simple question. Locks are a double-edged sword, and alien creatures also divide good people and bad people. Everything in the world has two sides... Then why should I hold on to one side?

After thinking, William said in Chinese that he was very familiar with in his previous life.

"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil covers them."

"Okay, let me see, can this thing be worn now..." As he said that, William picked up the "lock" and began to gesture on his arm. Then he pressed it on.

"It's indeed a black technology from another world... it can actually adjust the size automatically."

William said, unable to help but grin.

"Buzz..." The black lock began to rotate slowly, and on his display screen, different numbers began to quickly pass through it. His whole black body also began to show the red patterns that would appear when used.

William couldn't help but be surprised. It was not until he stepped back and turned it to his original appearance that William smiled slowly...

"Why, are you happy too?"

Ah... Actually, this chapter may not look so good... It is limited by my writing skills (?ω?)hiahiahia.

I originally wanted to use this chapter to put a "lock" on William to overdo it so that he doesn't seem stiff. Then I will describe William's mental journey and enrich his character creation...

Ah, I still overestimate my writing skills, so I still have to practice QAQ.
Chapter completed!
