236, Les Miserables
That night, the inaccessible building became one of the brightest buildings in the Rat District.
Although its height is not the highest, the shape is not the most exaggerated. But today, it's definitely the most dazzling!
Because it has been incarnated into a huge torch burning ~~! It wasn't until the 20-story building was burned down that only the frame remained.
In this process, the Zirat area even mobilized all the fire extinguishing devices in the adjacent Ugly Cow and Maotu areas.
Unfortunately, the water evaporated into water vapor before it could get close to the flames, and even a light rain fell over the rat area. But even so, the flames showed no sign of abating until the flames burned down the building.
After the incident, Operations 1, 2 and 3 received orders at the same time to investigate the culprits behind the arson.
However, only Liu Zhanyun and Captain Liu vaguely sensed something.
Because he knew that Shen Yu had been in and out of the rat area frequently recently, and this building was the suspected "Feisheng" pill processing den that he was going to investigate.
Seemingly... He will know the truth at this week's meeting.
After exploring the burned building, tutor Xue Tong took off his mask with a disgusted expression on his face.
Wei Xiong, who was standing in front of her, greeted her and asked, "How is it?" Did the other party leave any clues? ”
Xue Tong stretched out his hand and fanned the end of his nose and said, "This fire is really clean... It can be seen that the person who set this fire has a fairly high-level fire-type card...
In addition, from the traces of the battle on the scene, it can be inferred that the players who fought with it should be the green and red ghosts who have not played in the middle series of players for a long time.
We received news a while ago that the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost temporarily withdrew from the player circle because they accepted a high-paying offer from a pharmaceutical company. It seems that this building has an absolutely close connection with that business. ”
Wei Xiong raised his hand vigilantly to stop Xue Tong from continuing to speak.
He glanced at the wanderers in the ruins looking for something, and whispered, "Let's go back to the place." ”
Returning to the base camp of Operation 3, Xue Tong told what he had discovered.
It turns out that the owner of this building is a newly registered pharmaceutical company on the surface, but behind them is one of the old four major conglomerates in the real world--- Vientiane Pharmaceutical.
It's just quite surprising that Vientiane Pharmaceutical not only secretly created banned drugs in the real world, but now it has extended its black hand to the card world?
In doing so, they are already challenging the secret agreement between the four major consortia. Liao Ran, the chairman of Vientiane Pharmaceutical, is not such a short-sighted person....
Unable to figure out the key, Wei Xiong decided to take a trip to the real world and report the matter to their direct leadership agency--- the Doomsday Federal Government.
As for how to communicate with Vientiane Pharmaceutical, it is not something he needs to worry about at this level, after all, Director Wei also has a leader above his head.
At this time, just after the inaccessible building was burned down by Shen Yu, there was an inconspicuous roadside sewage ditch in the corner of the Rat District.
The green ghost and the red ghost slowly appeared. The red ghost half-supported the ugly green ghost, and the two of them dived into the ditch together.
Just as they dived to the bottom of the ditch, they opened another sewage pipe hidden under it, and swam in.
However, in the depths of the sewer pipes, it is not sewage that is connected, but a digital world of seemingly boundless green codes.
The two swam straight into the world of Code Green, then changed direction and began to swim head. It seems to be trying to find some kind of exit.
With a "poof", the green ghost and the red ghost traveled through the illusory world composed of the green code, and when they emerged from the water, they had already arrived in another time and space.
Yes, there is a system hole between the card world and the real world hidden in the drainage pipe hidden under this stinky gutter.
They can use this loophole to travel between the two worlds without being officially known.
In fact, there are several system vulnerabilities like this in every city. It's just that this system loophole is a loophole opened privately by Vientiane Pharmaceutical, and it can also be said to be a channel unique to their group.
After the green ghost and the red ghost crawled out of another spatial stinky ditch in embarrassment, the world they faced was absolutely different from the card world!
Yes, it is as if time and space here are completely shrouded in various virtual projections.
Those projections are both real and illusory, and if you are not careful, you will take the illusion as if it were real.
However, the position where the two appeared was at the junction of the lower five districts and the upper five districts. It's also the liveliest and most complex area in the real world.
The appearance of the green and red ghosts did not attract anyone's attention, or that no one cared at all about the two homeless men who crawled out of the stinking ditch.
In the real world, it is 10 minutes at night in the fifth district, but it is still illuminated by countless neon projections.
It's not quite accurate to say that daylight is more like a dance floor in a bar lit by colorful spotlights.
Along the road, there are many buildings that rise into the sky and seem to be connected to the depths of the universe.
In the middle of these buildings is a spider-web-like suspended highway. One can't help but worry about whether they will collide in the air.
In the middle of the congested and staggered highways, there will be all kinds of strangely shaped airships with large projection advertisements hanging from them.
Most of these airships are sent out by some merchants to attract the attention of customers.
Some airships are normal and mechanically driven. Or with a propeller hover.
And some airships are more special. For example, a huge airship that was slowly sailing over the head of the green and red ghosts was replaced by a huge sperm whale in what was supposed to be a balloon.
This sperm whale has a mouth full of fangs and at least twenty eyes.
Although its appearance is strange and terrifying, it seems to exist only in the deepest nightmare of mankind. But at this moment, he has become a poor employee oppressed by the capitalists, who can only fly back and forth in a fixed area with those mechanical devices, showing the ever-changing projection advertisements on his huge body.
Its appearance and appearance no longer seem to be scary at this moment, but more numb.
Even such a huge monster has a social animal-like expression in the real world.... I have to say that the relationship between the squeeze and the oppressed here has been pulled to an extreme!
If the red ghost and the green ghost looked up at some suspended air corridors at this moment, it would not be difficult to find that at the top of the area, some guys wearing helmets and white mechas, who couldn't tell whether they were humans or machines, were all holding guns in both hands, and there was a mechanical dog composed entirely of metal at their feet.
This is exactly what belongs to the real-world patrol mechanical sheriff. Together with the Rangers, they are responsible for the safety of the rich and the big people in the five real-world districts.
Of course, they are also responsible for maintaining the basic rules of the transition between the upper and lower five districts.
As for the lower position, most of them are walking men and women who combine human bodies and machines, with numb expressions and sloppy steps.
They may stretch out their mechanical prosthetic eyes and expose their skulls, turning into insect tentacles to look around. Or the upper body is a normal human, and the lower body has six spider-legged mechanical prosthetics.
These people are the most common people in the real world, and they are also the most common kind of people at the intersection of the upper and lower five districts. They are often referred to as "synths", or "androids".
As the name suggests, "synths" were originally humans, and then combined with machines for various reasons.
"Cyborgs" were originally machines, but after being upgraded again and again, they have the most basic human nature, as well as some characteristics of human beings.
As a result, many high-level androids themselves are a little confused about whether they are human or mechanical.
Instead of boarding the bustling levitating highway to stop a crab-shaped floating car, the green and red ghosts walked into the darkest and dirtiest alleys.
It's even dirtier than the dirtiest and messiest slum in the card world.
The "dirty" here is not only sewage and garbage in the usual sense, but also a lot of mechanical waste containing radioactive energy, nuclear wastewater, broken mechanical limbs, and gamma rays that can mutate living things.
Yes, these hazardous wastes, which should have been professionally collected and disposed of, were discarded at will by some unscrupulous merchants and high-ranking bigwigs in the Upper Fifth District.
Perhaps in their world, the inhabitants of the Lower Fifth District can no longer be considered human. They are like rats in the sewers, no one cares if they are dead or alive.
