"Fried ...... Bomb! ”

Dr. Wang Nuo's first words after waking up shocked me and Lao Dao.

I hurriedly asked, "They brought bombs?" ”

"There are six explosive tubes, and if they are filled with TNT, it will be about 1 kilogram...... "Dr. Wang Nuo covered his head and gasped, "...... And with a timer. ”

"Damn, it's a wild play!" The old knife scolded me and said, "One kilogram of TNT is enough to blow up an exhibition hall into the sky - you say that exhibition hall has a door to the outside?" ”

Liu Jiyun, the chief of the security section, also woke up, and when he heard our conversation, he interjected: "Yes. The door is an all-steel security door, however, it can be opened from the inside. ”

I asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

Liu Jiyun recalled slightly: "Five people, the one who took the lead was the bastard who called himself Ron who came to make trouble during the day. ”

It's too late to ask for specific details, so Lao Dao and I first untied the rope for Liu Jiyun and a few other security guards, and then made a simple arrangement:

Liu Jiyun and I stayed, and everyone else let the old knife take away-

Among them, four security guards followed the old knife around the back door of the mechanical phantom exhibition hall to intercept Ron and his gang;

Dr. Wang Nuo and his female assistant joined Shen Tangzhi and them outside, and Shen Tangzhi led them to quickly evacuate here, and at the same time asked the Chengdong Police Bureau to immediately send bomb disposal experts and police support.

We immediately split up, and after Lao Dao led people away, I sneaked into the aisle to the east exhibition hall with Liu Jiyun.

The security guards at the Science Museum were not equipped with guns, and although their batons were confiscated, the most threatening weapon on their bodies was actually an electric stunner, and Liu Jiyun was holding an electric stun and following behind me.

The long hallway was still only the dark green glow of the exit lights, and all around us was quiet and we could only hear our own breathing, and we quickly passed through the hallway, and then found that the door of the exhibition hall at the end was open.

"Shh

I asked Liu Jiyun not to make a sound, turned his head sideways, and looked at the contents of the exhibition hall through the crack in the door.

After confirming that the door was unguarded, I waved my hand back and entered the exhibition hall with Liu Jiyun on my waist.

The interior of the exhibition hall is divided into eight exhibition areas, and those display cases and temporary wooden partitions in the dark provide good cover.

At this point, we could finally hear some unusual sounds, including soft words and footsteps, which we got closer and closer to the last section.

My previous assumption was correct, Ron was also looking for an exhibit, and his target was probably the Dream Builder model.

Confirming this, I knew I had to stop Ron - if he tried to move the Dream Maker, something terrible would happen!

In the eighth exhibition area, we really found the traces of Ron and the others, they have found the dream machine, Ron has opened the glass cover of the display case, and is reaching for the strangely shaped dream machine model!

I couldn't hide any longer, and shouted, "Ron, stop! ”

Ron and the others were shocked, and they all turned to me, and several flashlights shone on my face at the same time, and I could only block the light with my hands, but continued to shout:

"Don't touch the Dream Maker, or something terrible will happen!"

"Who am I, it turns out to be an acquaintance who met during the day." Ron turned slowly, "Are you trying to hinder me again?" ”

"I don't really have a problem with Neo-Ludeism, everyone has the right to choose their own life, but I oppose your violent actions."

"Violence? If the protests were useful, the so-called revolution would have automatically won by simply mobilizing a group of shrews to scold the streets. However, there is no such thing as a beautiful thing in reality, so we have to do it ourselves. ”

"Then your actions are no different from those of terrorists - then don't flaunt any ridiculous excuses for 'speaking up for the people', you are just a bunch of scum with ulterior secrets! There is no difference between you and the capitalists who exploit others in your mouth! ”

I crept closer to him while I was talking to him, and as I finished speaking, I threw the stick that was hidden behind my back and threw it out—

Ron leaned to the side, dodging the stick I threw at him, but one of his accomplices dropped his flashlight, covered his face and screamed in pain, already being hit by me.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, I had already bullied Ron, and I threw my fist and got tangled with him.

But in the first fight, I quickly suffered a loss - this guy has obviously practiced fists and feet, and I don't know how good it is to be better than my three-legged cat, if it weren't for my brute strength and super resistance to blows, I would have been defeated a long time ago.

This guy, when he faced Kirishima Kamino at the beginning, the reason why he was restrained was really to take the opportunity to escape - his actual force should be on par with Kirishima Kami.

Just as we were in a difficult fight, the door of the exhibition hall suddenly opened from the outside, and several bright flashlights came in from the door, illuminating the people in the exhibition hall almost unable to open their eyes.

The voice of the old knife sounded: "Raise your hands!" You've been arrested! ”

Under the backlight, I saw the old knife holding a gun and walking into the exhibition hall, and the people behind him, tall and short, turned out to be Shen Tangzhi and them.

Seeing that the odds were tilting in our side, I lunged straight at Ron, trying to push him away - he was too close to the Dream Maker.

Ron's hand quickly brushed over the back, and the next second, a cold muzzle pressed against my eyebrows.

"Don't move." Ron pressed his hand hard, the muzzle of the gun pressed against my skin, and then turned to the old knife and yelled, "If you take another step, I'll make his head bloom!" ”

The old knife stopped and said, "Put down the gun!" Do you think you'll still be able to run away?! ”

"Run? Why should I run? The corners of Ron's mouth opened into a smile.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and persuaded him: "If you stop now, it is just a crime of attempted intention, and it may not happen, but if you are obsessed......

But my words were rudely interrupted.

"Shut up." Ron's face became serious, "Do you think the mechanical intelligence crisis in my mouth is a distant thing?" No! I'm telling you, the threat is right in front of our eyes......"

He pointed to the dreamer.

"I've heard it on the news – people all over the city are having weird dreams, aren't they? Years ago, something strange ran into my dreams, I tracked down a mysterious organization that believed in a madman legend - and now, the madman's dream is becoming a reality, someone has to stop him, I want to stop him and destroy his machine! Otherwise, he will rush out of our dreams and take our lives! ”

As he spoke, he took out something that looked like a remote control from his arms and pressed the button heavily!

"What did you do?"

"Shhhhh......h

I watched and finally heard the sound of a stopwatch, and the location of the sound was above our heads—I looked up and saw a faint red light flickering and extinguishing in the darkness overhead.

Is that...... Time bomb!

"Got it?" Ron gave a terrible smile, "So, don't worry, I'm not going to run away." I'm just here waiting for my bombs to destroy all these disgusting machines! Of course, the most important thing is this ......"

As he spoke, Ron's hand went directly to the dreammaker on the display case—

"Don't!"

But my efforts didn't work, and Ron's hand soon made contact with the Dream Machine!

The mutation happened immediately—

The dreamer moved again, the delicate gears and connecting rods that looked like works of art spun rapidly, "Woo-", the sound of a train whistle sounded, and white steam erupted from several chimneys around the dreamer.

It's hard to imagine that such a small machine can release so much mist......

The white steam quickly spread throughout the exhibition hall in an incredible way, and Ron and the others in front of me were immediately enveloped in mist.

I took two steps forward, but all I saw in front of me was the crazy dream-making machine, and Ron and the others disappeared!

At this moment, I suddenly heard the girl's voice.

"Touch it. Lend it your power – the power of all of you. Her voice came straight to my ears.

I tried to talk to him, but I didn't get a response - the voice repeated a few times, then it was gone.

The figure of the old knife appeared from the white mist: "Aji! How are you? ”

I said, "I'm fine, come here." ”

When everyone approached, I found that Lao Dao, Shen Tangzhi, Kirishima Xun, and the children were there, but the security guards of the Science Museum were not there.

Everyone was surprised to see Ron and them disappear inexplicably, but I didn't explain this, but asked the old knife first:

"If I'm not mistaken, aren't there a few security guards who are following you? What about them? ”

"Huh? Wasn't it still there just now? The old knife looked around and shouted a few more times, but no one answered.

The security guards seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

I thought about it and came to a judgment: "I see, it's not that they are gone, but that we are gone." ”

"Huh?" The old knife is the second monk who can't touch his head.

Shen Tangzhi showed a hint of understanding: "You mean, we have now entered that 'strange dream'?" ”

"It's still a little bit ......"

I explained that everything changed when Ron's hand touched the dreamer in front of me, and I heard a mysterious voice that made me touch the machine.

The girl's so-called "everyone" seems to refer to us people, but there is a small question here: why did Lao Dao and Shen Tangzhi also enter this illusion?

Could it be that their entry is the same as the situation in the orphanage before - it is because of my appearance that the conditions for entering the illusion have changed slightly, before it was that Teacher Luo, and now, it is Lao Dao and Shen Tangzhi.

However, that Teacher Luo fell into madness after the illusion disappeared, and finally fell to his death......

I glanced at Shen Tangzhi and Lao Dao with some concern.

"Any questions?" Shen Tangzhi noticed my gaze.

"No, it'......s nothing," I said to everyone, "Now, put your hands on this machine......

When everyone's hands touched the Dream Machine, a wave of extreme sleepiness hit......

……

When we opened our eyes again, we saw a huge steel gate made of various mechanical parts, steaming from all sorts of mechanical parts, and after passing through the gate shrouded in heavy steam, we found ourselves in another world.

We were standing on top of a pile of black, sticky, slag-like rubble that seemed to form a hill because the ground beneath our feet had a slope that kept the slag-like material rolling under our feet.

Behind us, the huge steam door faded away.

While we wonder about our situation, Kirishima makes another discovery: "Our clothes ......"

Only then did we find out that everyone's clothes had changed, the men were wearing old-fashioned suits, Lao Dao and Xu Liang still had a peaked cap with a very short brim buttoned on their heads, and the women were wearing vest pants and short jackets, and boots were under their feet.

The garments are heavily Victorian, that is, worn in England around the 18th century, and all have a dirty, tattered appearance.

We didn't bring in any modern gadgets like cell phones, guns, etc., and the watches on my wrists had become very old-fashioned mechanical watches, and the steam around me was so thick that we couldn't even make out the direction for a while.

"Hi ......"

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared from the steam, dressed in clothes similar to ours, and I recognized her face at a glance - she was the mysterious girl!

She was as thin as I had remembered, and looked like she was chronically deprived of food and overworked, and the girl looked emaciated.

But she wasn't as uneasy now as she used to be, with a smile on her face and looking happy to see us.

"Welcome!" She said, "As you can see, this is how the world is. ”

She introduced her name, her name was Ian, and we were in a place within the boundaries of a kingdom called "Terdar".

At this point, the fog thins and we can finally see the environment in the distance.

From the top of the mountain, the whole "kingdom" is a huge city that is constantly producing filth and suffering.

The huge city is centered around a central hub, surrounded by a ring of urban districts:

In the outermost ring, a few tattered huts were staggered together like weary beasts;

In the circle, there are large machines and huge steel buildings next to each other, those towering huge machines have huge mechanical arms, the mechanical arms are constantly rising and falling, and the towering chimneys are constantly emitting white smoke into the sky;

Behind this ugly land are raging flames, scorching steel, and beating steam hammers.

Finally, there's the Central Hub, a towering building made up of various mechanical entanglements.

Everything in this world was covered in a thick layer of soot and oil, as if it were covered with a filthy veil, and between the curtains, white steam haunted like ghosts......
