Following the scrawny "human skin skeleton" into the office of the Chrono Death Alliance, you will be greeted by a room of almost fifty square meters, which displays high-tech equipment that looks very sensitive, and the black metal shell flashes a faint light, a bit like Frankenstein's workbench. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Intricate wiring and metal pipes spread out from under the shiny black workbench, not connecting to other instruments, but directly under the floor.

Clearly, there is a larger machine hidden beneath the floor. As for the role of that machine, it should be what the skeleton called "body detection".

As expected, the skinny skeleton man nodded at the black metal machine, which resembled an electric chair for execution, and spoke:

"Sit on it and you're ready to go, who's going to come first?"

Seeing the machine with unknown functions that might bring danger, Zhang Luo decisively pointed to Lucas beside him: "He came first." ”

"Why is it me again......" The teenager in the ill-fitting black trench coat couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm investigating you this time, after all." Zhang Luo said and pushed the guy.

“……”

Under the gaze of the skeleton and Zhang Luo, Lucas sat down in his chair with some reluctance. Although he looked a little depressed, Zhang Luo knew that this guy was not afraid at this time, but still had some expectations.

A terrible death for ordinary people is a relief for this product. If he can die here, it can undoubtedly be regarded as a relief for Lucas.

"Put your hands on the armrests." Skeleton Man said.

The boy had just put his right arm on the armrest, and from the position of the armrest, two round metal rings stretched out and clasped his wrists.

"Human trials?" Zhang Luo frowned slightly.

"No, this is a necessary preparatory step, otherwise the body may be torn apart in the flow of time." As he spoke, the skeleton man took out a semicircular helmet from the workbench behind him and snapped it roughly onto Lucas's head.

", this can't be an electric chair, is it? I've sat on it a few times, and it's really uncomfortable. Lucas scolded under his breath.

"It's not an electric chair, it's just about putting your body into another time stream, during which we measure your body data, as well as your adaptability to time travel."

Before the skeleton could finish speaking, he had already pulled out a rudimentary-looking remote control from his pocket and pressed the only red button on it.

"Hiss-"

A shrill electric sound suddenly sounded, and a blue and white light suddenly appeared all over Lucas's body, and at the same time let out a dangerous crackling sound. Just when Zhang Luo began to suspect that this "advanced instrument" was really an electric chair, the young man who was sitting on the chair and had an electric figure suddenly disappeared in a flash.

"Did he move on to another timeline?" Zhang Luo asked.

"Well, the timeline used for testing is random." The skeleton man said, glancing at the screen behind him, and explained, "He was sent to the Triassic era two hundred million years ago this time, but don't worry, he will be back soon." ”

"Wait a minute, if it's Triassic, it seems like a coincidence......"

Recalling the experience that Lucas had told him, Zhang Luo frowned thoughtfully. Staring at the empty chair, he asked, "When will he be back?" ”

"It usually takes about half an hour, and this time varies from person to person." The skeleton man's tone was nonchalant, as if he was used to this situation: "Before that, do you need me to introduce you to the main services of the Chrono Death Alliance?" ”

"I wonder who gave this sore name." Zhang Luo smiled.

Compared with the high-sounding names of "Monster Administration" or "Time Travel Special Forces", the Chrono and Death Alliance is not very reliable when it sounds, which makes Zhang Luo suddenly make up a group of middle school students who have mastered the ability of time travel and use their abilities to scare people in school.

The Skeleton Man, who was the head of the London office, was obviously not happy with the name, and explained with some embarrassment: "Our leader was very young at the time, and he came up with such a name because he was young and frivolous......"

"Who's the leader?" Zhang Luo immediately followed the vine and touched the melon.

"This issue is confidential." The skeleton man was not going to answer at all.

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to reveal the name of the leader of the organization, Zhang Luo didn't ask much, but quietly moved towards the wooden desk next to the workbench, and at the same time expanded his "domain", intending to see if there were any documents or anything like that in the drawer.

However, the Skeleton Man was not a fool, and immediately noticed his actions, reminding, "Don't try, there's nothing in there." ”

"You know what I'm doing?" Zhang Luo pointed at his face like a fool. The ability to control the realm is rare even among heretical creatures, and few monsters will be aware of it except for god-level existences.

"Of course, we can all travel through time and space, how can we not feel what you have done to space." The skeleton man spoke quickly.

"Then I won't have to bother." Zhang Luo, who was exposed, did not have any shame or embarrassment at all, but "turned into the wind" and immediately said: "Then let's introduce it first?" I'm still waiting. ”

- Isn't there a bit of shame about this thing?

The skeleton man secretly complained in his heart, as if he was memorizing a text, and said the introduction and scope of services of this organization:

"The Chrono Death Alliance was founded in 1999 and has since developed into a worldwide organization. Our main job is to help employers get the treasures they want, or some ancient materials, without making too many changes to the timeline. ”

"You can entrust us with the search for ancient treasures, or you can investigate the truth of some unsolved historical events. But please don't make a request to travel to the future, as the organization prohibits the 'future' of the current timeline. ”

"Oh? That means you're constantly running around all over the place, right? Thinking of a certain time shuttle he had experienced, Zhang Luo asked with interest: "I heard that on October 31, 1961, a guy suddenly appeared at the 'Tsar Bomba' test site in the Soviet Union, and suddenly disappeared before the explosion was about to occur, could it be that you did it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the skeleton man's already not very good face became even worse, and he asked, "How do you know about this?" ”

"I read it in the newspaper." Zhang Luo casually talked nonsense, pretending to be just having an ordinary chat, but in fact, he was secretly observing the other party's reaction:

In fact, it was Zhang Luo himself who appeared at the nuclear explosion test site and suddenly disappeared before the bomb exploded. Originally, he just wanted to see if anyone knew about the "legend" he had created, but at this time, the skeleton man's reaction was obviously not as simple as "knowing it".

"That guy ......," the skeleton man whispered, "that's time travel, but it's not our members' doing. ”

"Looks like you know the guy who showed up at the nuclear bomb test site?" Zhang Luo asked.

"I don't have much to say about that." The skeleton man obviously didn't plan to continue talking about this topic, and his voice became a little muffled: "What commission do you have this time?" There is also a charge for using the instrument for inspection. ”

"How much?"

"Three hundred thousand euros each." The skeleton man quotes the price.

"Damn, you're a little bit of a pit." Zhang Luo complained.

Although this price does sound very high, he actually has no intention of bargaining at all, after all, he is still in a state of "having money and nowhere to spend", and there is nothing wrong with checking it here.

While waiting for Lucas to come back, Zhang Luo chatted with the skeleton man without a pair, trying to extract useful information from the other party's mouth, but found that the guy was very tight-mouthed and vigilant, and he couldn't get any useful information about the "Chrono and Death Alliance" at all.

After discovering this, he also decisively gave up continuing the cliché and finally got straight to the point:

"Time travel special forces, does this organization have anything to do with you?"

As soon as he heard this name, the skeleton man's body suddenly twitched as if it was a conditioned reflex, took out a silver pistol from his pocket, opened the safety and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Zhang Luo's forehead, and asked with a gloomy face: "You have been getting information from me all along, right?" What organization sent you? ”

"I'm just too curious, don't care." Zhang Luo pretended to be panicked and kept waving his hand.

"Don't pretend, you're supposed to be a spy sent by the time-travel special forces, right?" The skeleton man said as he pulled the pistol sleeve, making a crisp crashing sound.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Luo couldn't help laughing: "Are you concussed too many times?" Have you ever seen a spy directly report the name of his organization? ”

“…… That seems to be the case. ”

Realizing that he had just lost his temper in front of the guests, the Skeleton Man coughed in embarrassment, put the pistol back in his pocket, and whispered, "Sorry, but that name is taboo for us, please don't mention it again." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Luo finally collected the first piece of information: the Space-Time Death Alliance should have a hostile relationship with the time-traveling special forces.

Judging from the performance of the skeleton man, the name of the time travel special forces should remind him of something bad, so that between the two organizations, there may have been a war or something.

"Well, can you ask why you're so angry?" Zhang Luo continued to "step by step".

"The organization you just mentioned is a lackey of the government, and it's a shitty monster administration." The skeleton man's voice was still low: "I don't want to go on with this topic anymore. ”

Seeing the green tendons bursting out of the scrawny man's head, in order to avoid making this thing so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, Zhang Luo did not continue the topic.

Just when he was about to find something else to talk about, an unexpected situation suddenly happened:

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the lights in the office and the indicators of all the instruments went out together, and the room, which had no windows, suddenly turned into pitch black with no fingers visible.

"What's the situation, an organization as tall as yours will still have a power outage?" Zhang Luo said that he opened the night vision mode of the Executioner's Eye, and he was finally able to see things again.

"No, our electricity is from generators, and we have backup lines...... the skeleton man frowned for a few seconds, then suddenly came to his senses and roared, "Enemy attack!" ”

Seeing that the skeleton man drew his gun again and entered the state of confrontation, Zhang Luo reminded him in a timely manner: "The kid who came with me was still 200 million years ago, can he come back?" ”

"As long as the power is restored, he can come back, and the priority now is to get rid of the attackers!" As he spoke, the skeleton man kicked open the office door, shot his gun out of the hallway, and shot the two zombies passing by the door, shattering their brains and falling down in convulsions.

"What are you doing? We're partying! The wooden door next to it, with the sign "Zombie Gathering" hanging out, opened and a rotting human hand reached out and raised its middle finger at the skeleton man.

"No time nonsense, our office has been attacked!" The skeleton man had no intention of apologizing at all. Instead, he turned around and walked away, rushing towards the staircase that was going down.

Following the skeleton man into the basement of the safe house, in the faint green light of Zhang Luo's night vision device, several ethereal figures were soon reflected, floating in front of the large machine in the center of the basement. But when Zhang Luo and the skeleton man rushed over, the figures disappeared again, like ghosts.

"It's the 'zeroing phenomenon' when traveling through time and space, and these miscellaneous pieces are running really fast." The skeleton man clenched his fists in anger and stepped forward to check the generator.

"Are these people from the time travel special forces?" Zhang Luo asked.

"How do I know?" The Skeleton Man complained rudely, "Such a despicable sneak attack is indeed their style......

Standing in the dark basement, watch the Skeleton Man overhaul the generator belonging to the "Chrono Death Alliance". Recalling Lucas, who was still wandering 200 million years ago, Zhang Luo also suddenly thought of something:

――If the reason why Lucas appeared in the Triassic was because of the time travel performed during this test, it was indeed able to answer the question of "why did a human appear 200 million years ago", and the fact that the guy did not come back may be due to the fact that the generator was not repaired later......

However, even this does not answer another crucial question: how did this person attain immortality?

Just traveling through time and space will not make people obtain that kind of law-level immortal body, what can make Lucas like that should be something else. And......

"Luckily, the generator still works."

It didn't take long for the skeleton man to fix the generator, and the basement was lit up again. Looking back at Zhang Luo's face, he asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No, it's okay, I didn't say anything."

Dropping an inexplicable speech, Zhang Luo turned around and left decisively. (To be continued.) )
