The halls were filled with glittering crystals, and the crowd was as bustling as ever, and the voices converged into a cacophony that no one could hear a single word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, unlike in the past, although the people in the hall were still busy with their own things, their expressions and tones were more or less nervous and panicked.

"No clues? Don't know when yet? You inactionable souls! A woman's shrill scream pierced the hall, but it didn't attract much attention. Only a few people looked sideways with sympathetic eyes, then moved out of the way of a clearing and hurried forward, rushing about their own business.

This has nothing to do with the apathy of the human heart, it's just that in the past month, this kind of thing has happened so many times that people have become accustomed to it, have become numb, and no longer do useless thinking.

Then, sure enough, as in all similar incidents in the past month, several guards approached the woman, who was screaming in a cloak, and lifted her out of the hall with a gentle but resolving movement.

"......" A middle-aged man watched all this in silence, sighed lowly, and also walked inside on his own.

As he progressed, a number of people of his age stood and looked at him closely, but, judging by their looks, they seemed to be recognizing someone they had seen in the past, rather than being attracted by the strange lizard-like birthmark on the man's right face. However, the dark spot was so conspicuous that the men shook their heads and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The man ignored them, walked straight to the crystal mirror that shone with a blue swirl in the deepest part of the hall, and stood still, silently waiting. No one is close to it, partly because there are no other meaningful facilities around, but also because it is very well guarded.

"Mr. Soul Eater, you're here." In the empty shadows, a woman in a simple uniform, but unable to hide the charm of her beautiful looks and outstanding figure, emerged and bowed respectfully to him.

The man frowned: "I'm just a civilian, you don't have to salute me." And I'm not called 'Soul Eater', that's just an ID. ”

The woman straightened up, smiled softly and nodded, "Okay, sir." ”

Only then did the man realize that the other party probably didn't know his real name, but he was in a very anxious mood at the moment, so he just stomped his foot and urged, "Can you take me over quickly?" Now the situation is very urgent. ”

The woman nodded, raised her hand and pressed it on the crystal mirror, closed her eyes, her lips moved, as if she was silently chanting something.

Then, with a flash of light, the man disappeared from the hall.

The walls are adorned with jewels of various colors, and the tables, chairs, and balls of light suspended above are made of crystal, and there are ornaments made of gold and silver brushed around the perimeter, as well as potted plants and fish tanks placed in just the right places to give the space a little more life.

It wasn't the first time the man had come here, but every time he came, he was struck by the new luxuries and disgusted and indignant from the bottom of his heart. But that's about it.

Several men and women, probably between fifty and seventy years of age, dressed in simple or elaborate clothes, had the only thing in common was that men and women, who were not rich or expensive by all looks, were already sitting in the center of the conference room, apparently waiting for his arrival.

"You're finally here, Soul Eater—" The sixty-year-old man sitting on the edge of the room, but in good spirits, opened his mouth.

But the man interrupted him: "Mike. ”

"Mike, yes, a good civilian. When I was younger, your deeds were thunderous. The sixty-year-old man laughed twice, although he said very politely, but his expression was a little arrogant, "My unsuccessful son once regarded you as his idol." Hahaha. ”

"......" Mike didn't respond to the man's unsure greetings or other words, but just glanced at the group with a scrutinizing eye very unceremoniously, and then frowned, "Are you just a few of you?" The Eisen family didn't come either? ”

The group sat there looked at each other and burst into laughter, and then, again, the sixty-year-old man opened his mouth and answered Mike's question: "Yes - Mike, it's just us." I don't quite understand what you mean by mentioning Eisen's small family, but we represent the will of the great families to unite. This time, we're not here to talk to you. ”

Mike frowned, took a sip, as if remembering something, and scolded in a low voice: "A bunch of rotten old moths that hinder the development of society. Damn it! ”

The group didn't seem to hear Mike's whispered swearing, or maybe they were used to it and didn't care. The woman sitting in the middle of the middle, who was around fifty years old and had a few wrinkles on her face, spoke: "Mike, we are here to ask you a question today on behalf of the major families. The families want you to cooperate, you know? ”

"Hmph." Mike snorted coldly, but still nodded, "Hurry up and ask, what do you want to ask?" ”

The woman smiled mildly and moved the conversation to something else: "I noticed that you seem to have a lot of hostility towards us. You don't have to, and it's done to you—"

"Alright, alright." Mike waved his hand impatiently, stroked the lizard-like birthmark-like black spot on his right cheek with some uneasiness, and shouted in annoyance, "I'm a commoner, I don't understand the conversation etiquette of you nobles, and I don't bother to understand!" Hurry up and get to the point! I'm afraid, time is already running out, don't grind and chirp! ”

The woman frowned slightly, but quickly smiled again: "Okay, Mike." Since you've asked for that, let's get straight to the questions. As you said earlier, Worldgate is a game that has gone terribly wrong, and around 400,000 players around the world are now exhibiting vegetative signs. Even if you force it offline or even remove it from the game warehouse, it won't help. ”

Mike's feet slapped impatiently, and he said rudely, "Everyone knows these things now." ”

The woman frowned again: "Yes." According to what you said before, they can't go offline right now - trust your part, but you're not entirely right. According to you, this event happened almost a year later, at the end of the World's Gate game's World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament finals. In fact, it's because of your misinformation—"

"You want to blame me for not being able to deal with the problem in time?" Mike sneered, and pressed forward step by step, until he was three steps away from the woman, and a flame rose from under his feet to stop him, and he stood there, arms around his chest, "Hehe, I said it a long time ago, that's 'possible'." And I hope you guys deal with it soon. Hmph, that's ridiculous, can you really do anything right away in a year? You're probably going to forget what I said! ”

"......" the woman's eyebrows raised, not commenting on Mike's words, just shaking her head, "Well, we're not here to hold us accountable." For the sake of peace and stability in our world - and, according to you, for the sake of the security of our world, we would like you to tell us the real reasons for your inference. ”

Mike frowned: "Inference? The real reason? You still don't understand anything! I've told you all! I'm the one who came back from the future, and I've seen all these things with my own eyes, heard them with my own ears, and experienced them myself! Those errors may have been due to the fact that some of the tactics I used - such as warning you, did not get positive feedback, but instead caused the situation to deteriorate! ”

An old man in his nineties squinted his eyes, tried to pull his throat, and said in a voice that was not very loud but quite clear: "If what you said is true, then why is your initial warning not as serious as it is now?" Isn't it because you couldn't have predicted that the outcome would be so serious? ”

"Bastard!" Mike finally lost patience and began to rampage, "If your brain is already old and rotten, quickly choose one of your children who live a corrupt and dirty life to take over, even if their brains are basically unused, and their memory time is a little longer than that of a goldfish!" Won't I tell you what the outcome will be in the first place! ”

"You-" The old man choked on a word, his face flushed unhealthily, and he coughed repeatedly, "You-"

Mike stretched out his right hand and pointed at the faces of the group one by one, "You-you-you-you, and you, all of you were there, right?" I remember every idiot-like stupid face you have very well! That's when I said this was going to happen, right? Am I not serious enough? It's just that you don't want to believe the facts. ”

A strong man in his fifties slapped the handle of his chair and was about to speak, but Mike pointed directly at him and calmed him down with a hideous face and a hoarse yell: "Shut up!" Listen to me! As for why I didn't rush you later, it's because I know you won't believe it. I didn't expect you to stop it. ”

Although the woman's face was very ugly, she still maintained a certain demeanor: "Then why are you telling us this?" ”

"To stop another thing that will happen next." Mike's expression was very serious, "Something that I have already told you to say, something very serious, and it will really threaten our world. Since this matter is ahead of schedule, it is also very possible that one piece, but I didn't expect that you idiots whose brains are jammed with fat would actually take a month to react to his grandmother under the premise that my prediction of the first crisis was correct! ”

The strong man slammed the table again: "Soul Eater, keep your mouth clean." No matter how famous you are, you are just a former pioneer, do you really think you have the strength to compete with us! If you're polite, do you really think you're a character? ”

"Hah!" Mike pressed the lizard-like mark with his right hand, and reached forward with his left hand, sneering on his face, "Dead fat pig, whether I'm a character or not is not up to a scumbag like you to decide." As for whether I have the strength to compete with you, let's try it! ”

Just when the war was about to break out, the woman frowned and shouted: "Enough, sit down!" ”

Obviously, this woman in the center did have considerable authority, and although the strong man still looked like he wanted to kill, he still sat back in his place honestly, and Mike pouted unhappily and sat down on the spot.

After such a roar, the woman gasped for a while, and a cup carved out of a ruby flew from a distance, automatically floated to the woman's mouth, and brought the tea into her mouth. Then the woman closed her eyes again and sighed, "Okay, Mike." While we all know that there's no such thing as time-traveling magic, and while we still think it's ridiculous that characters in games can rush into reality, we'll listen to your opinions. If we're going to prepare, what do you think would be better? Haven't you experienced it yourself? ”

Mike frowned again, but he also knew that this level was already the limit of what he could achieve at the moment, and after a short period of time of tidying up, he was going to say what had been thinking about him for a long time: "First of all, we-"

For five seconds, no one in the conference room spoke, and those people first looked at Mike who suddenly opened his mouth wide and stopped speaking, and then followed Mike's eyes to see the huge crystal screen in the conference room.

Originally, nothing was playing on this screen, but now, there is a picture of a young man with black hair and black eyes dressed in a strange style, as if he does not belong to this world, leaning on a huge and strange device behind him, with a crazy and joyful smile, with open arms, standing on the roof of a high-rise building and shouting loudly.

"Television - oh, maybe you don't have that name here...... Hawkers, that's all right, that's the audience in front of the screen, everyone-early-on-good-ah-! ”

Mike sat down on the ground, his face in a trance and shock: "Lin Qing? So fast - and, what is it? It hasn't happened, anything like that...... Lin Qing, what exactly are you going to do? ”
