"Eh... THE NEW EXOSKELETON ARMOR HAS BEEN BELTED, AND THE BARREL OF THE SNIPER RIFLE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH 7.62MM, BUT THE DISSOLUTION OF THE SWORD BODY IS TOO HIGH! Don't use it yet, right?"

The time finally came to twenty-three o'clock, and after a short period of repair and replenishment, the two came to the outside of the city gate.

There are no superfluous send-off personnel, and there are no superfluous farewell gifts, and no one has the energy to do anything for the hero now that the war has just ended.

"Well, I see, let me see... The acceleration mechanism is normal, the deformation mechanism is normal, the suspension mechanism is normal, well... The motorcycle seems to be okay too, probably. ”

But it is too early for the people of the Doji to speak of the end of this war,

Putting aside the two time bombs imprisoned in the dungeon for the time being, just the "Unknown Thought" that appeared yesterday and the "Yukawa Country" that is still eyeing it, these two existences alone can already trigger a full-scale war.

And whether it is from the queen in the past to the current envoys, all of them are "porcelain swords" who act for their own interests, or the "Supreme Sun God" who sacrifices himself and voluntarily becomes a god in order to continue to plunder and devour in this world, and now he is not willing to simply play the role of "arms dealer" and "stealing cat".

But Delsa's recent movements are also unsettling, the old tyrant has been defeated by the new king, and the nomadic herds that were originally scattered are also centrally managed, becoming part of the "Delsa Alliance", like... Execute as quickly as the previous pre-set plan,

In other words, the three large collectives in the north are all preparing for the future, but their future will only be brought about by "hegemony", and in exchange for the death of countless populations, only the future of their own growth, the future brought about by greed and desire.

"So, I'm off. ”

So, Geralt got on his motorcycle and drove towards the border of Delsa, with the purpose of revenge based on his own emotions, and to find the opportunity for Delsa to transform from a barbarian in the past to a federation today.

If a rapid breakthrough is made by human knowledge and technology, then it can be left alone, but if it is greedy and malicious to seek the power of thought, then it must be interfered with.

"Good on the way, Brother Geralt. ”

However, although human greed and malice are endless, the progress of science and technology will also bring new consciences and resources, and when the technology of this world is generally developed, it may be able to reach a "balance of terror" mode under the checks and balances of the "M.A.D./Common Destruction Principle" like the world of strangers.

But will that day really come? Even if you trust the human crosswatch so much, you can't make a promise as you did in the past.

"So... What's next?"

Not to mention that no country has yet reached the capacity to destroy each other, just the lack of understanding of "anthropology" and "technology" is enough for these ignorant people who have mastered power to use all kinds of weapons of mass destruction with peace of mind, without worrying about the lives and future of future generations.

"Ah, the handkerchief has fallen off... Huh?"

What's more, as long as there is a trend of thought, as long as there is the power and malice of the trend of thought, and the existence of greed that can be compared to human beings, mankind will not be able to make peace for a day.

Yes, just like at this moment, at twenty-three hours and half an hour after the time, the trump card that plunged the whole city into a state of fantasy appeared and this life,

"Transparent walls? No, this is an enchantment that can interfere with spirit and matter, and there are 30,000 frequency of interference... Could it be a new traverser?"

If the Institution can completely seal a city into an enchantment in an unreasonable instant, then a stranger who is a substitute for the Institution can easily do so, and it only takes a small amount of "useless" ability for them.

But was this barrier really invoked by strangers?

The Overwatch Cross judged strangers to be "higher than normal people with triple helix DNA", "innate immunity to resources", and "despair of the past world".

In other words, strangers who can't generate and use resource power can only use items, but today, when the Millennium War has long ended, this kind of enchantment mod item that can envelop the whole city can not be found anywhere.

So, was this enchantment initiated by an ideology?

The answer is also no, the current city is no longer able to support the emergence of new institutions of thought, and if it is a trend of thought to make an action, it will inevitably use more targeted modules to reduce consumption,

However, the "traversers" who are connected to the institution and have not fallen into despair are completely different, they can produce resources normally, and they can use the looted mods at will even without the help of props, and they can't perform a wide range of precision operations like the institute.

If it is a traverser, then it is natural and reasonable to do such an act.

"Sure enough, now let's go to Aunt Akamatsu, it's better to act with a stranger you can trust than to go it alone. ”

If the stranger will change the world because of his despair of the old world, so that he will not fall into despair again, then the time-traveler will only change the world because of his own preferences and ideas, and completely and completely use his power according to his own heart.

But because of this, such people are also more dangerous, unpredictable, and difficult to communicate, "What happens when a child is given the power to change the world?" can probably be understood by imagining in the mind: fame, lust, or just plain fun and gambling, just that is enough for them to try to change the world.

"However, why didn't an enchantment like this that envelop the entire city become disturbed, even if it was transparent, the frequency fluctuation of this level of interference would have caused the sirens to tick. ”

As far as the eye can see, whether the city is due to the lights of thousands of homes, or the hustle and bustle that should exist, it is disappearing without a trace before feeling the breath.

It's as if the lights and noise were erased from the map the moment the barrier appeared, and the inhabitants seemed to be in their sleep... Or, because of the existence of the enchantment, I was immersed in my sleep and knew nothing,

The drones manned in the city were still working normally, and there were no anomalous enemies in the records sent back, and everyone was lying in bed collectively at some point, falling asleep.

But what is the purpose, what is to be taken, or what is to be given?

Rather than immersing everyone in a dream, it would be more reasonable and less expensive to use other options, but the unknown initiator still intends to cover the entire city within the barrier.

Maybe that's the purpose? Blocking physical contact to protect the city from attack, and putting the inhabitants to sleep collectively in a dream, what if that's what the average traveler wants to ask for a physical value?

“... However, if you speculate according to this idea, this is a deliberate attempt to make people fall into a dream, then, there must be something in the dream, something that must put an entire city into a deep sleep... If that's the case, then maybe the initiator is—"

- Perhaps, that possibility is also real.
