Chapter 4: The Silent City
"It is preliminarily judged that this hunting circle is part of a half-plane, and in layman's terms, it is the model of the Otherworldly Continent."
"The edge of this world should be a spatial fault, and the technology of this world should come from outside this plane, maybe this is simply a half-plane built by a high civilization, used for some kind of experiment or to carry residents."
The gray-shirted young man said while scratching his head and looking at the sky.
"This kind of high civilization has the ability to create its own half-planes, so there is not much need for resources, they should have built many similar half-planes, so the population does not have to live very crowded, but for the sake of efficiency, they will still form cities and build tall buildings, instead of spreading low buildings all over the plane, from this point of view, they should have a centralized political core."
The gray-shirted young man guessed the idea of this plane in a few words, and Su Yun didn't pay much attention to it, just when he was joking or bragging.
The two of them walked into a big city inhabited by humans.
This city is an orderly city, this is Su Yun's first view when he enters the city, everyone on the road is in a hurry, the vehicles are obeying the rules, the ground is clean, the buildings are arranged in a regular manner, it looks like it should be a high-quality human settlement.
To get as much information as possible, naturally you have to go to the library, Su Yun hesitated and worried about the language barrier, so he didn't dare to ask for directions without permission.
"Rest assured, the space will not embarrass the contractor on the issue of language, you speak to them directly, and it is their language." The gray-shirted young man saw Su Yun's worries.
Su Yun nodded, he politely walked over to a person who was eating at a street snack bar and asked:
"Where do I get to the nearest library?"
The man glanced at Su Yun, then pointed in a direction with a somewhat strange expression and said, "Follow this street and walk to the fourth traffic light intersection, where you can see a cylindrical building, which is the largest library here." ”
Su Yun said thank you and left.
"There should be a lot of mobility here." The gray-shirted young man suddenly spoke.
Su Yun asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"From the time you ask for directions, you can see from the other party's expression, asking for directions here should be an unbelievable thing, there is an explanation that the people here should be people who have lived here for a long time, and they should not not recognize the way, in other words, people who live here should be a group of fixed people, and there are not many people in and out of the ordinary."
Su Yun nodded, this gray-shirted young man's mind is still very meticulous, and he can understand information through various details, with his ability, it is estimated that one person can be worthy of a plot team.
Su Yun followed the other party's guidance for a long time, and finally found the library at the fourth traffic light intersection.
The gray-shirted young man said puzzledly: "It's strange, this kind of intersection should be the most prosperous place for commerce, and a library will be built in this kind of place, is it that commerce here is not developed?" It is impossible for the capitalists to make such an allocation of resources. ”
"Just go in and look at the historical and political documents inside." Su Yun said.
"It's not that you won't negotiate with others, if it were me, I would be able to get all the information I wanted out exactly if I climbed up to that diner just now." The gray-shirted youth said contemptuously.
Su Yun smiled bitterly, he is indeed not good at dealing with others, especially in this kind of occasion that requires strong socialization, maybe Luo Er will be more handy here.
Su Yun walked straight into the library, and he found that the books here were directly displayed on the shelves, and those who needed to read the books could use them by themselves, and put them back in their original places after using them.
Su Yun searched for a long time between the bookshelves, and finally found history books on the third floor, most of the books here are in the direction of science, all kinds of science and science, even history books, there are not many.
Su Yun pulled out a "book" from the shelf, and then tried to turn on the switch of the monitor like everyone else.
"Wait!" The gray-shirted young man suddenly spoke, "Go to the toilet, find someone, knock out, and use his fingers to open it." ”
"You perverted ......" Su Yun just wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of the gray-shirted young man's intention to do this, so he silently closed his mouth and walked towards the toilet.
Half an hour later, Su Yun pressed the "book" with the finger of an unlucky ghost in the toilet.
Lines of information appear on the transparent display:
"Opened by: Mulder
Authentication......
The authentication is successful, and the permission level of the enabler is 2
Permission verification: The enabler has permission to view the data
Operation records are being synchronized......
The preprocessing operation is complete and you can start reading. ”
As this information fades away, the transparent display begins to go black, and lines of subtitles begin to appear on the display.
A few drops of sweat broke out on Su Yun's forehead, if it weren't for the reminder of the gray-shirted young man, he stupidly used his fingers to open it directly, and it was estimated that it would have been detected by this ubiquitous system!
"You, how did you know there was such a mechanism?" Su Yun asked with trepidation.
The gray-shirted young man frowned slightly, and said: "This is a city with an extremely strict system, and it can be seen from the behavior of everyone in the city, I have not seen any entertainment venues here, which is incredible for a highly developed civilization. ”
"Out of my understanding of human nature, I can preliminarily determine that this is a place that suppresses human nature and restricts human behavior with harsh rules, so harsh that everyone's every move does not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step, so harsh that the cars on the highway dare not press the line in the slightest, dare not honk the horn, people dare not spit, dare not litter, dare not make loud noises."
"To enforce such a set of draconian rules, there needs to be a ubiquitous regulatory system, which can liquidate every violation of the rules, so people dare not cross the line in the slightest, this regulatory system must be everywhere, driving like this, reading books, it should be the same."
Su Yun's face changed, and he said, "Then you still let me knock him out?" If my actions were detected by some high-tech means, I would have been arrested! ”
The gray-shirted young man's gaze moved to an inconspicuous black device on the ceiling of the toilet, and at this moment, a crack had cracked on this black device.
"This device, periodically diffuses a special fluctuation, it should be where the monitoring system is, I've destroyed him, then you just need to get out of here quickly."
Half a minute later.
Su Yun stood on a deserted street corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not time to relax, if the city is functioning properly, the regulators should quickly find out about the failure of the monitoring system, and then they will definitely investigate the cause of the failure of the monitoring system, and then you will come into their field of vision, although I destroyed the facility before you did it, and there were five other people in the toilet at the time, but you shouldn't have much time to spare."
Listening to the statement of the gray-shirted young man, Su Yun snorted coldly, he felt that he was being used as a gunman.
"You may feel like you're being used by me, it's normal, you just treat it as our first time working together, don't worry, do what I say, you'll be safe and sound."
Su Yun said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you do this yourself?" ”
"Do you think I don't want to? If I am asked to do this, I can do everything I want to do in four hours, the execution of the two of us is not of the same level, I keep myself not landing in order to gain an information advantage, in case I land, the poison circle is brushed in the south, and we will be very passive if we do not master the means of transportation at that time, and some latent contractors will frantically join the ranks of competing for transportation after discovering the truth of such a big world. ”
Su Yun thought about it angrily and felt that he had a little truth in what he said.
"Next, listen to me and do what I instruct, it's good for you and me."
"First of all, put the e-book monitor in front of me, yes, I can't touch him, so I want you to help me turn the page, yes, turn a little faster, use your agility at 16 points, use the fastest speed, rest assured, such a little bit of information is like slowing down ten times to watch a movie for me."
"Okay, it's almost, I don't have to read it, I've got the knowledge I want."
"Now, walk on the bus on the side of the road, yes, yes, it's all free."
"Find a seat and put the e-book display behind the chair."
"Okay, my finger cuffs are done, yes, you don't care what material you're made of, take him and open a shared car on the street."
"Get in, start the car, head north, yes, pay attention to the traffic rules."
"Boom!"
A huge explosion suddenly detonated in the middle of the road, and the sparks soared into the air in an instant.
However, the shock wave from the explosion was not violent, but the car at the center of the explosion was in flames at the moment.
Looking at the shape of this car, it seems to be a bright shared car.
"Whew!"
Su Yun, who was kneeling in the sewer, spit out the filth in his mouth fiercely, his whole body was filled with a burning smell, and there was even a fire on his body that had not yet been extinguished.
Just now, at the last moment, the gray-shirted young man gave him one last order:
"I'll blow up your car, and you can find a way to escape through the manhole cover under the car and don't get out!"
Su Yun is not an agile contractor, it takes some time to complete the destruction of the base of the car, make the appropriate size hole, and then open the manhole cover below, but fortunately, he burst out with an extraordinary reaction speed at the critical moment, and with the protection of the Yuan Qi Shield, he completed this series of actions.
"Boom"
There was a loud bang on the ground, presumably the poor shared car he was driving had exploded again, presumably a secondary blast made by the gray-shirted youth in order to destroy the evidence he had left behind.
Su Yun couldn't help but curse him in his heart, and then stood up from the sewage in the sewer.
