Chapter 9: The Search for the Dead

Outside the window, a light rain was still falling, and under the slightly bleak sky, the flow of people on the streets announced the awakening of the city.

Zhu Jue stood in front of the window and glanced at the time displayed on the window:

8:00AM

Picking up the silver pot on the window frame, he added some water to it, shook it and drank it again, the small amount of wine that he hadn't drunk last night was diluted and still made his already somewhat drowsy mind quickly sober up.

"It seems that this organization really has to join. ”

Rubbing the lines on the silver kettle with his thumb, Zhu Jue pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

The liquor he drank last night could actually strengthen his spiritual strength, which Zhu Jue never expected, although it was more because he drank too much at one time and it was the first time he drank it, so there was a stress reaction, but he could indeed feel that his spiritual will had increased.

And this enhancement is directly reflected in his flesh in a very intuitive way, increasing the degree by about 0.5 fish.

This value may not seem large, but it is of great significance to Zhu Jue.

After all, Zhu Jue's current physical and spiritual will had reached a rather terrifying level under the reinforcement of the Ancient Crystal.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Jue has not exploded with all his strength until now, not only for fear of scaring others, but also for fear of scaring himself.

If you have to evaluate yourself...... In a state of complete mutation, in terms of strength, Zhu Jue has the confidence to go head-to-head with the monsters he encountered in the valley without falling behind, and he is even better in terms of agility.

In fact, this is still part of the energy consumption of the ancient crystal's to help him repair his body, otherwise it might be even stronger.

It's a pity that it takes too much time to absorb the energy of the ancient crystal, Zhu Jue actually had a hint of happiness in his heart when he first knew that this year was 2024, he looked at the ruins of Nuuk City, for fear that if his eyes were closed and opened, it would be a hundred years later when he woke up.

He'd experienced this a long time ago, and he had managed to gain a foothold in this world, and if he did it again, he would go crazy!

Because of this, if nothing else, it is undoubtedly quite difficult for him to get more promotions at the moment, and this liquor has undoubtedly given him a new direction to gain strength, and naturally there is no reason to give up.

Slipping the golden card and a few bundles of cash into his pocket, he turned around and picked up the Three Days-Moon Tai Knife and the Plasma Gun in a cloth bag that could be tied.

He had already checked the departure time of the fortress train last night.

This kind of long-distance train is generally a round trip every two days, and it just so happens that there is one today, departing at 10 o'clock in the morning, and it is still too late to come in the past.

First went to the machine on the ground floor of the residential building to deposit the cash, and then Zhu Jue swaggered out of the door of the No. 21 residential building with Ivanka's face in a huge way.

Heywood District is considered a middle-level community in the entire Dawning City, which Zhu Jue found out yesterday, and the urban construction here is undoubtedly more complete and reasonable than the original Yecheng.

In the middle of the block, there are several food trucks parked in a large open space surrounded by three streets, selling all kinds of breakfast to the public, and the area also contains a subway station entrance and a rail line that rises to a height of about 10 meters, which is the most popular public transportation in Dawning City now, with its extensive lines and extremely fast speeds that allow people to get to most parts of Dawning City in a short time.

Except, of course, Pascal District, which is a gang-rich slum and is not qualified for such efficient transportation, and Downtown District, which is the most prosperous area of Dawning City, where such low-level transportation is not qualified to be in such a top-level place.

The meaning of the same thing in two different places is very different...... That's how real it is.

The Heywood district is undoubtedly its best home, at least now Zhu Jue can look up and see that there are small rail cars with a capacity of about 15 people running back and forth, and the sound is not loud, at least compared to the noisy voices around it.

Stepping on the zebra crossing across the street, Zhu Jue's goal is the Dawning City subway, and Line 2 can go directly to the Dawning City train station.

"Sir, would you like to try the latest new item?Dizzy 2, Heaven, Pleasure 3...... I've got it all here. ”

As soon as I went down the stairs to the corner of the middle floor, a young man wearing a yellow peaked cap and a black jacket came from the side, lifted his clothes to reveal what was underneath, and asked sneakily.

The surrounding crowd was still coming and going normally, and some people also put on a strange look when they saw the things here, but Zhu Jue, who was asked, looked at the young man in surprise and asked, "I look like someone who eats this kind of thing?"

Ivanka's face not only looks like it, but it is actually a bandit...... It's a bit like a drug addict.

"I'm sorry, I'm not long-sighted, so why don't you try these?"

The drug dealer completely misunderstood what Zhu Jue meant, and he thought that the "big guy" in front of him didn't look down on his goods, so he opened the jacket on the other side, and there were some small objects with strange styles hanging on it.

"The 'slow motion' that can be sprayed directly into the mouth, the 'brain dance' that is installed in the electronic brain, and this ......"

", or I'll stuff all of this stuff into your, would you like to try it?"

Zhu Jue grabbed the young man's shoulder and said in a deep voice, and the latter nodded directly and slipped away to find his new patron somewhere else, obviously an "experienced" drug dealer.

In the end, it is a giant city that has only developed in recent years, and the scale is too large to cause difficulties in government management, Zhu Jue just walked to the security checkpoint and drove away three people who were selling various items, and there were even people who promoted prosthetic transformation to him, which had the intention of pulling him away and cutting his arm and replacing his eyes.

......

The subway in Dawning City runs at a very fast interval, the previous one just left, only need to wait for 3 minutes, and the next one will enter the station, Zhu Jue looked at the electronic display screen mounted on the ceiling, and dialed the number left by the gentleman.

"Looks like you've already made your decision. ”

As soon as the phone was connected, a gentleman's voice came from the other side.

"I agreed to join, but I'll be out of Dawn for a while and won't be back until about 3 to 5 days. ”

Zhu Jue couldn't predict in advance how much time he would have to spend on this trip to Yecheng, so he could only roughly propose a deadline.

"No problem, the team doesn't interfere in your private life, as long as you can get back to Dawn City by next Tuesday, there will be no problem, because there will be a trip on Wednesday, before that I have to introduce you to the rest of the team, and the contract will have to be negotiated first, and besides, since you have joined the team of the Golden Bank, you have to follow our rules...... It is absolutely forbidden to divulge any information about the bank in any form, and if you do, it will have disastrous consequences for you and the person you are disclosing the information to. ”

The rat revealed the news to outsiders, but he had died five years ago, and even if he wanted to punish him, he couldn't find a target, and as for this new member, he was a gentleman who was quite important, and he didn't want to bring someone to eliminate him as soon as he was recruited on the front foot.

"Just one rule, and then it's gone?"

Noticing the gentleman's silence, Zhu Jue asked.

The management of this organization is loose enough.

"Of course, there can't be only one rule, and there are some other precautions, but you haven't participated in the traveler's gathering, so there are some things that I can't tell you yet, and I will tell you in person when the time comes. ”

The Bank of Shuojin is very concerned about the confidentiality of information, and in this era, the means of communication do not sound too easy to monitor without special encryption, so the oldest method of face-to-face communication between teams is used, and the communication is only about worthless information.

"Got it. ”

Looking at the bright lights that could already be seen from the tunnel ahead, Zhu Jue hung up the communication directly, thinking about the meaning of the gentleman's words just now.

Traveler's gathering, another new synonym, sounds a bit like a travel agency's event, and Zhu Jue guesses that it may be an internal meeting before going to another dimension.

The so-called precautions should be things like how to enter the other dimension.

Today is Tuesday, and I will return to Yecheng by next Tuesday, which means that Zhu Jue has a week to retrieve the wind chimes.

That's plenty of time.

"The train is about to enter the station, please stand behind the yellow line and get on and off the train in an orderly manner......"

With two wheels on his feet, the tall order robot with his feet in his hands holding a yellow pennant in his hands kept patrolling back and forth behind the yellow line, but the tone of the command was a dignified woman's voice, and Zhu Jue was a little awkward to hear it.

"Someone knocked through the screen door!"

Someone on the left suddenly roared, and Zhu Jue, who was checking the information of the danger zone in the crowd, was stunned at first, and then turned his head like the people around him, and saw a young man with an inch of hair jumping down from a half-height screen door.

"Train operation suspended, emergency braking procedures activated, assistance needed on site......"

The robot that discovered the situation immediately pressed the emergency stop button on its arm, and the piercing sound of steel friction made Zhu Jue subconsciously frown.

After a while, several people with old-fashioned walkie-talkies and light blue subway uniforms rushed down the stairs behind them, holding the keys to open the half-height screen door where the young man jumped and were about to go down and drag people up.

At this time, a strange thing happened, the young man who was looking for death and life before actually climbed up from the orbital area by himself, and Zhu Jue, who was looking at the excitement, noticed that the expression on his face was a little strange.

It's not like resentment and helplessness after a failed attempt to find death.

Antithesis.

The kid looks happy!

"It's a wonder. ”

Zhu Jue watched the subway staff go down to check if there were any missing objects in the track, thinking that he was better to go out early, if he couldn't catch the train, he would have to wait for two more days.
