After breaking out of the space-time passage, Lin Yuedong found himself in a modern big city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

High-rise buildings, asphalt streets, pedestrians coming and going, lush green trees, such a familiar scene, made Lin Yuedong almost think that he was back in the high city.

But he soon discovered that this was not the case. Because the pedestrians on the street were chatting in Japanese, it was clear that this was a city in Japan.

As for the exact location and time......

Lin Yuedong picked up a newspaper from a newsstand on the side of the road and looked at the name and date of the newspaper.

Tokyo Shimbun, 26 July 2000.

The Tokyo Shimbun is a local newspaper that sells only in Tokyo, which of course means that this is Tokyo in 2000.

He flipped through the newspaper. When he flipped to the sports version, the big headline on it immediately caught his eye: "No suspense! The Dragon and Tiger team has advanced, and the top eight KOF have all been born.

Dragon Tigers? KOF？

So, this is the world of KOF King of Fighters (popularly known as The King of Fighters) 2000?!

Lin Yuedong began to retrieve all his memories of The King of Fighters 2000.

The King of Fighters, also known as the King of Fighters (KingOfFighters), is a popular fighting game produced by SNK, basically every game has its background plot (98 and 02 have no background plot), of which the plot background of the three generations from 99 to 01 is mainly around a story called Nest (NEST· SOUND), so it is collectively referred to as the sound nest chapter.

The Sound Nest is an organization with great economic and military power, and its leader is nominally Nests, but in reality Nests is long dead, and the real ruler is his son Igniz.

Although the main plot about the Sound Nest unfolds from '99 to '01, it first appeared in '97 in the King of Fighters universe.

That year, the Great Snake, the Earth's Will, awakened and wanted to destroy humanity. Kusanagikyo , Yagami-an, Kagura Chizuru and other three artifacts tried their best to seal the great god, and they were all seriously injured.

It was at this time that Otoki's people came out and forcibly kidnapped Kusanagi Kyo in order to gain great power through his research on Kusanagi Kyo.

The specific method is divided into the Kyo Replication Project and the Kyo Cloning Project, the former is to extract the blood from Kyo Kusanagi's body and inject it into other people's bodies, so that the injected person has the fire of Kusanagi, and then brainwashes it. The latter is to directly use Kusanagi Kyo's DNA to clone a large number of Kusanagi Kyo and form an army to conquer the world.

Two years later, Otoh's research on Kyo Kusanagi was quite successful, and a large number of copies and clones of Kyo Kusanagi were created and sent to twenty-one locations around the world in an attempt to start a worldwide riot.

However, Clone Zero, a middle-level cadre of the Sound Nest organization, secretly modified the plan for his own purposes, and the strongest warrior K' made after studying Kusanagi Kyo unexpectedly betrayed the Sound Nest, which led to the failure of the plan, and the person in charge, Gu Licha, was killed, and the clones were all surrounded and suppressed by the mercenary organization Ling Organ.

Now it's 2000, and the main plot of the year is that Clone Zero officially betrayed the Sound Nest, using the opportunity of the KOF Conference to collect the energy of the fighters, charging the Zero Cannon that was privately created and deployed in space, trying to use the powerful attack power of the Zero Cannon to kill the top level of the Sound Nest, control the Sound Nest, and then further rule the world.

In the end, of course, the champion of the fighting tournament K' defeated Clone Zero, and at the same time, Igniz sent someone to modify the data of Zero's cannon, and in turn used the cannon to kill Clone Zero.

But yet, that hasn't happened yet. KOF has just reached the quarterfinals and has three rounds to go.

Lin Yuedong flipped to the schedule on the third page of the newspaper and calculated it according to the dates of the matches that had been played on it. After three rounds of matches, counting the recuperation time after the game, it will take about half a month for the finals to start.

It coincides with the time limit given to him by the wooden pen.

In that case, he thought he probably knew what was in the letter......

Seeing him holding the newspaper in deep thought, the owner of the newsstand became impatient: "I said, do you buy it or not?" ”

Lin Yuedong came to his senses, smiled apologetically, and was about to say that he wanted to buy it, but realized that he didn't have a penny of yen on him at all. There are a few renminbi sheets, but it is estimated that the newsstand does not accept foreign currency.

"I'm sorry, I don't buy it." He said.

"If you don't buy it, hurry up, you think this is a bookstore!" The newsstand owner said unhappily.

Lin Yuedong had no choice but to leave quickly.

INTERVIEWER By the way, don't just look at it and don't buy it at a bookstore.

Although he was kicked away from the newsstand, it also inspired Lin Yuedong.

When he was in the world of "Frozen" before, he suffered a big loss because he failed to understand and pay attention to the changes in the plot in advance. When he arrived in the King of Fighters world this time, the first thing he had to do was naturally to fully collect information, understand the current situation, and judge whether the plot has changed and how much it has changed.

And now, he has thought of a fairly convenient way to gather the information he needs. It's just that first, he needs some money.

After leaving the newsstand, Lin Yuedong found a jewelry store and sold an agate relief he brought for 50,000 yen. Then he took five copies of Fukuzawa Yukichi and inquired all the way to the local waste paper recycling station, where he bought more than 300 old newspapers and periodicals from the station owner.

Asahi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Sports Shimbun, Friday, Weekly Bunharu, Focus, ...... He brought back all kinds of newspapers and periodicals, as long as they came out after the KOF conference began.

This was the best way he could think of gathering information in the year 2000, when the Internet was not yet developed.

In fact, in modern society, open information channels such as newspapers, magazines, and television programs are extremely important sources of information, and this is even an important part of the espionage work of various countries.

For example, during World War II, a Swiss writer named Berstold Jacob wrote a book detailing the organizational structure of the German army, including the numbers, establishments, equipment, numbers, and locations of the German army headquarters at all levels, divisions, and military districts, as well as the names, ages, experiences, and tenures of the 168 army commanders at all levels, and even the newly formed panzer divisions.

When the Germans, in great annoyance, took the man back and interrogated him where he had learned these secrets, he replied through a newspaper published in Germany.

From a brief obituary, he learned that the commander of a certain German division in Nuremberg was General So-and-so;

In a piece of news about the marriage, he discovers that the groom is a signal officer with the rank of major, and his father-in-law is a colonel commander in a certain place;

The book also writes that "Major General Shahler, who came from Stuttgart to attend the wedding", was the commander of the local division.

It was through this information that he pieced together little by little the original appearance of the German army. German intelligence officers checked his confession and finally had to admit that it was indeed the newspapers that sold the public that betrayed the secrets.

Lin Yuedong did not expect to be able to collect such detailed information through these newspapers and periodicals, as long as he could have a general grasp of the current situation. Anyway, he understands the original plot, and by comparing the two, he can naturally guess where the changes have occurred.

After watching under the street lamp in the park for a whole afternoon and an evening, Lin Yuedong realized with some fatigue that the plot of this world had also changed.

The biggest change is that throughout the 99 to 01 trilogy game, the protagonist of the sound nest chapter, the 99 KOF champion K', did not participate in the KOF conference!

There was no him in the KOF contestant list from the beginning, and many reporters inquired about the whereabouts of the previous champion, but all of them found nothing, and the world generally speculated that K's retreat after becoming famous, but Lin Yuedong knew that this was impossible.

After K's victory in 99, he learned from Gulica Li that he was a person who was brainwashed + transformed by the sound nest, and killed Gu Li Li in a fit of rage, and since then he has embarked on the road of finding past memories and making enemies of the sound nest. Sound Nest organized kof2000 this time, K' whether it is to find out his past from Sound Nest, or to get along with Sound Nest, there is no reason not to come!

There is only one possibility that he will not come, and that is that he will not be able to come.

Whatever the reason he can't come, it's a huge change that makes the future even more elusive.

There is another change, which he sees from the economic press. Since the KOF came into the public eye last year, the Soundnest organization has been active as a large business organization, and its leadership is well known to outsiders. But according to an op-ed in the Sankei Shimbun, from September 1999, a month after the end of last year's KOF, the top leaders of the sound nest have been replaced with new faces one after another.

In this regard, the Sankei Shimbun believes that it is an explanation of the conspiracy exposed in last year's KOF conference, by purging itself to express an attitude of atonement in exchange for support from the outside world, and at the same time taking the opportunity to adjust the direction of the organization, clear the intertwined network of influence in the organization, and provide vitality for the organization......

These analyses are not impossible for Lin Yuedong to think.

Judging from the plot, Igniz, the big boss of the sound nest, has a fairly large and quite ...... The brain-dead project, called BrutalGodProject (Cruel God Project, also Igniz's super-killer name in the game, was translated as Blue Become God Project because of a failed Chinese translation). The ultimate goal of this plan is world domination, which is divided into three steps:

The first step is to open the refrigerator door...... Ah no, it's the KOF tournament that defeated the strongest human K' that he had carefully created, and became an existence that surpassed humans in a certain sense.

The second step is to use the power of the sound nest to attack various countries, seize power, and create a "new world".

The third step is to descend on the earth in a transcendent posture and become a god of brutality.

In fact, it can be seen that the first step of this plan is completely meaningless, defeating K' is at most to become a KOF champion, not a god at all, purely the result of Igniz's second illness. However, Igniz himself is enjoying it and actively preparing for it, and next year's KOF conference is the time when it is planned to be launched.

But now that there has been such a big change in the upper level of the sound nest, does it mean that it ...... Igniz finally realized that he was brainless and began to change his plan and adjust the direction?

If that's the case, a boss whose intelligence returns to normal and doesn't commit the second disease is likely to create an extra obstacle to his journey to deliver the message.

And what's even more troublesome is that no matter how you look at the cold in your heart, only an organization like Sound Nest that is proficient in black technology in biology can handle it. Although it was said that Kusanagi Kyo and Yagami-an, two super-powered powerhouses who had mastered the power of flames, would be able to help, but Kusanagi-kyo was captured by the sound nest and his whereabouts are unknown, and Yagami-an did not participate in the conference. In the vast Japan, where can I find these two strong people?

However, the sound nest is very easy to find, and there is a headquarters and a large research base in Tokyo right now.

Lin Yuedong rubbed Ying*** Yinchao is not a charitable organization, and if he wants to go to them for help, he will definitely have to pay a great price.

I'm afraid we're going to have to use a very risky and complicated way to get this done.
