Earth time: May 11

Otherworldly time: May 17

"What are you discussing?" I sat on my bed and looked at Yuheng.

"We have heard about Yaoguang, and perhaps the matter we sent you to investigate is also known to the other party, so I want to discuss with you to withdraw from this investigation, and we will find Yaoguang as soon as possible to rescue her, and then you can live in the dormitory under the investigation team until the matter passes, what do you think?"

I shook my head: "No, I won't leave here, you don't need to persuade me, I will work with you to find Yaoguang's whereabouts"

Yuheng frowned: "Are you really not considering quitting?" It's your safety."

I smiled wryly: "You let us participate in the beginning, but now you want me to leave when something happens, isn't it inappropriate to do this?" ”

Hearing my complaint, Yuheng was also silent.

I continued, "So I'm not leaving, do you have any new information?" ”

"Yes, there is, but this information is provided by the investigation team."

"What information?"

"Speculation about the organization's next steps"

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because it was a worker in charge of diluting the overflowing energy of the Iron Heart, he happened to be caught stealing a part of the crystal box where the energy was stored during the dilution process, and after our interrogation and investigation, it was found that he was an accomplice planted there by the organization, so we immediately imprisoned him and obtained useful information from him as soon as possible."

"The result? What did he say? ”

Yu Heng shook his head: "He is just a small person in the organization, and when he secretly transports the crystal box, he will put the crystal box in the designated position and then leave, who will take it is not clear to him, and the investigation team has done the same, but nothing has been gained"

"Isn't this clue broken?"

"No, in fact, we originally thought that this time we would be organized again, but then we received a mysterious anonymous letter that told us about the true purpose of this organization."

I was skeptical: "Is this credible?" ”

"We didn't believe this letter at first, thinking it was someone's prank or the organization's provocation book, but Hong Lao believed what he wrote in his heart"

"Why?"

"For there is the great seal of the Son of the Present Day on the Letter"

I was shocked: "This has already alarmed the Son of Heaven? ”

"I don't know the specific things, Hong Lao has already given us a task, and we have begun to prepare for the next step of personnel transfer, at present, I need to keep an eye on the vice principal, and you have two choices, one is to stay here with me to keep an eye on the vice principal, and the other is to go back to the investigation team to listen to Hong Lao's arrangement, and there may be a chance to rescue Yaoguang, which one will you choose?"

"Affirmative second," I replied without hesitation.

"I think so, then we will leave tomorrow morning, because in addition to this kind of thing, the school will have to face the questioning of the Huang family and other children's families, and also have to guard against the possible threat of the organization. The key is that the championship reward of this year's competition was stolen, which led to the hasty end of this year's competition, and the prizes were replaced with other awards, which shows the importance and impact of this matter on the school."

"Isn't your mission a failure?"

"It's no big deal, I just need to keep an eye on the Vice Chancellor right now. The school will definitely be busy coping, so it will not take care of your side for the time being, and you can leave the school at this opportunity."

"Well, then you have to be careful."

"Hmm"

"It's only been a few days since we've known each other, I can't bear to let you go, and I'm also worried that something happens to Yaoguang, I'm left with this fool when you leave, it's not fun" Shangguan Rong looked at me with a little disappointment.

I chuckled: "There will be later"

Suddenly, Yu Heng jerked in the direction of the door.

Shangguan Rong and I immediately understood, and we both stared at the door, because we also noticed that someone seemed to be eavesdropping outside the door.

I glanced at the two of them, then walked lightly to the door, leaning my ear to the door, not hearing any movement, and then I slowly pushed the door open, and glanced around vigilantly, finding no one except the candlelit hallway.

I breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door casually, only to remember that my door lock was broken and I had no time to repair it, so I simply found something against the door.

"How?" Yu Heng asked.

"Nobody," I walked back to the house.

"Well, it's getting late, and we don't have anything to say, in order to prevent anyone from finding out, you prepare, set off tonight, and we'll help you get out of here"

"With a teleportation crystal?"

"Of course not, I only have one teleportation crystal, I need to use it at a critical time, I will give you a letter and a road map, because the headquarters of the investigation team has an enchantment, so except for the insiders, the outside world does not know the specific location of the investigation team, you need to follow this route map to find the location" Saying that, Yu Heng took out two folded pieces of paper from his pocket, one wrapped in an envelope, and the other was a note: "Give this letter to the people there and they will naturally help you."

"Okay," I nodded in agreement, knowing in my heart that Yu Heng had already known my answer and was ready.

"That's right, there's this you have to take with you" Saying that, Yuheng looked at Shangguan Rong, Shangguan Rong shrugged, stood up and opened my drawer, took out a delicate patterned iron box from it, walked up to me and handed it to me.

"What is this?" I took the box and looked at Yuheng suspiciously.

"This year's tournament winner's reward, diluted heart of steel"

"This? Did you steal it?! ”

"Shhhhhhhh Shangguan Rong gave me a blank look.

"How did you get it? Isn't this thing unattended? ”

"Of course there is, but it's not difficult in front of me and Yuheng, I'm responsible for luring away the caretaker, and he is responsible for stealing, so naturally it becomes" Shangguan Rong said indifferently and made me smile bitterly.

"You're not afraid of being found out and punished by the school?"

"What's this, it's a big deal that Yuheng can leave here at any time like you, and I'm just going home."

"I'm talking about you," I said, with a black line on my forehead.

Yu Heng also got up immediately and looked at the box in my hand: "Put away the things in a bag first, it's not convenient to open now, and if there is no problem, we will go to the main gate of the school, although there will be guards, but we will find a way to send you out"

"Hmm" I packed up and turned off the lights in my room.

The three of us quietly jumped out of the window, and to prevent being noticed in the first place, I closed the window again and blended into the nearby park as the darkness of the night came.

"Yuheng, how do I feel like someone is following us, there is more than one, it should be two" Shangguan Rong glanced behind her.

"I also noticed it, but the other party seems to be deliberately distancing himself from us, so I will leave them alone and send people out first"

"Good"

I also glanced behind me, and although I also noticed that someone was following, there were no lights in the park at this time, so it was still dark in my field of vision.

A few of us quickly rushed out of the Dongfang Campus, and after a while, we stood under the school gate, and saw the nearly 100-meter-high city wall again, and my heart was full of mixed feelings.

Yaoguang, who was really full of expectations for campus life, has now been kidnapped by the organization and disappeared, and we didn't expect to face a new life but a series of troubles and heart-wrenching stories.

"The two of us will open the gate for you, you have to get out of here immediately" Yu Heng threw down a sentence and ran to the stairs leading to the city tower with Shangguan Rong without looking back.

After a while, I saw two figures flying out from the top of the tower, one after the other, and I heard the two of them shouting.

"Little girl, don't run!"

"Come on! Old demon! ”

"Who allowed you to call that that?! Call sister!! ”

"I won't! Old demon old demon!! ”

Only then did I realize that the old demon they were talking about was a woman, and she was not old when she heard the voice, so I didn't care why it was called that.

In a few moments, the gates of the city opened slowly in front of me.

In the end, it is a school, even if it is protected by this high wall, it will not be as strict as that of the military region.

"Hurry up and get out of here, it'll be trouble when the old demon comes back!" Yuheng jumped down from above and patted me on the shoulder: "I can't send you here, don't forget, you have to follow the route map when you go out"

"Good"

"Time is running out, leave early, if there is anything, I will give it to you in the form of a letter through Elder Hong, we will meet later!"

"Hmmm! There will be a period later! Yuheng and I patted each other on the shoulder, and then I rushed out of the school gate without the slightest hesitation.

No matter how much reluctance there is, no matter how much melancholy and anxiety there is, it can't change the facts of the moment, and at this time, I felt for the first time that I was like the submerged boat, helpless, and could only let the wind and rain flutter.

Because of the darkness in the sky, I raised my vigilance, and although I noticed two people following me at first, when I ran out of the school gate, the breath of those two people suddenly disappeared.

I wondered, but I didn't pay attention. The location of the campus is surrounded by mountains, so follow the route, and then continue to run, over the mountain road in front of you, you can reach the real city, because I was so anxious, so after lighting the torch, I did not stop to rest and continue to speed up the pace.

After all, it is a human city, and the tall and long steel walls protect the campus and the city, so there are no wild beasts or monsters on the mountain.

The road was also largely unobstructed, and the further you went, the more you could faintly hear the heavy crash of the machine.

As I approached the top of the mountain, the sound of the crash became more and more intense, and I saw a glimmer of light in front of me, and I quickened my pace and ran to the top, and when I stopped at the top of the hill and looked into the distance, I was amazed by what was in front of me.

The city is a ring of steel buildings and relatively low wooden buildings, and the bright lights illuminate the thick smoke and dark night sky.

In the center stands a towering quadrangular tower, from which smoke rises from the four towers, from which the smoke rises from the four cylindrical buildings, connected by iron cables that extend from all sides.

It was the first time I saw this kind of city and sight that I could only see on CG, and I was amazed that this is what the city really is.

How would Yaoguang feel if she could see such a scene in front of her? Maybe I can see the twinkling stars in her eyes again.

Unfortunately, I didn't have her by my side at this time.

I looked at the huge city in the distance, the lights could not illuminate the gloom in my heart, and the hot summer could not warm the desolation in my heart. At the end of the day, I recall a sense of lost loneliness.

The summer nights become very short, and when I enter the city, the overcast sky gradually turns gray and blue, and the thin clouds fade and the black clothes gradually reveal their proper color.

I entered from the edge of the city according to the route, after all, it was the first time to enter the city after coming to this world, and I was not very familiar with the road conditions here, but fortunately, the route of Yuheng was clearly marked, and I just needed to follow it.

I walked cautiously down the road, looking at the closed shops on either side, worried about whether I would run into patrols walking around the city. Due to identity restrictions, people in the city will have identity certificates, according to the earth's saying that they are ID cards, this kind of documents will be checked by guards, if you don't have an ID card, you can't enter the city, and this kind of certificate can't be faked, it is also very difficult to handle, even if you can sneak into the city, once you find out, you will be kicked out of the city, and even there will be a risk of jail.

The mix of steel and wood on both sides of the street should have pleased me with the style, but now I'm hell-bent on finding the marked destination.

Standing in the city, I can feel that the buildings in the center are almost in the clouds, visually measuring a kilometer high, all made of steel, I don't know how the technology in this world is pointed, but in my perception this is very amazing.

After turning a few streets, I walked into a dark alley, in which hung a sign for a tavern, and the line stopped here, and marked this place, proving that this was the place I was coming, and by the lights of the roadside in the city I walked to the door of the tavern, knocked on the wooden door, and heard a man inside ask in a deep voice, "Who?" We're all closed at this late hour."

Thinking of Yu Heng's explanation, I also replied softly: "I'm here to deliver a letter, and there is a letter that you need to read immediately."

"Really?" The person inside the door hesitated for a moment, and then rushed out from the middle of the door and pressed down on a small table: "You just put the letter on it."

Because it was at my waist, I couldn't see his face, I put the letter on the table and watched him reach out and take the letter, I subconsciously looked around, and there was no intuition to be followed, at this time there was a surprise from inside the door: "Huh? This letter was given to you by a young man? ”

"Right"

"Who is he?"

"Classmates and friends"

"Alright, then you can wait for me from here for a while," he said, closing the small table.

There was a sound of footsteps in the door, and after a while, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man dressed in Western butler clothes with a solemn beard came out, much taller and burly than me, looking at me with his head down: "Please come in"

I followed the middle-aged man into the tavern, and I saw him cautiously glance out of the room before closing the door, ignoring it. This small tavern, which can only accommodate a dozen people, has an antique atmosphere, and the soft oil lamp is enough to illuminate the bar, tables and chairs in the cabin, and since the door is closed, except for me and the middle-aged man who can open the door, only a woman sitting in the corner remains.

Her figure has to be said to be very plump, not that kind of obesity but a little uncontrollable for men at first sight, even though she is wearing a summer short dress at this time, she can't resist the bewitching figure.

At this time, she crossed her legs, a glass of wine was placed in front of the table, and she smiled at me when she saw my arrival, although she was indeed a beauty and did not have the slightest element of charm, but it was enough to tug at the heartstrings of my body's instinct.

I suppressed the first sensation in my mind, then took a deep breath and calmed down after exhaling.

The middle-aged man next to me still maintained a deep look, led the way for me, and helped me adjust the position of the chair: "Please sit"

I nodded to him, "Thank you" and sat down, while he walked to the bar and brought me a glass of water.

The woman sitting across from me looked me up and down with interest, and this look made me unnatural, and I immediately changed the subject and asked, "I was arranged by a friend."

"I know, I've seen the letter," the woman leaned back in her chair naturally, "The letter told me to take good care of you, and to send you back to the investigation team as soon as possible," she said as she deliberately leaned down again, dragging her chin.

I sat down and didn't bother with the strange woman, and since the other party said so, it proved that the tavern had a connection with the investigation team, so I said straight to the point: "Then let's go now, shall we?" ”

"Don't worry, I don't think you know if you just came here, the Steel City has not been very peaceful lately, and the investigation team is busy maintaining the safety of the city."

"Then I'll wait here?"

The woman shook the wine glass in her hand and took a sip: "Of course not, I'll take you there, right now, but we still have to wait for someone"

"Waiting for someone?"

"That's right, I just informed him, and it should be almost there"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door behind him.
