Chapter 349: Countdown to the Blockade
【Anti-stance device】
[Description: From the starry sky, after wearing, you can move freely in a complex psionic environment]
In the Rewards section, the device looks like a pale blue mechanical pentagram.
According to the description, as long as it is worn somewhere on the body, it will no longer be affected by the stance device.
[For most people, psionic energy is an extremely difficult energy source to obtain]
[However, on some planets, complex and chaotic psionic powers can be found everywhere, and even deadly strong psionic positions can be formed]
[There are always positive and negative sides to things]
[Just like the wind of nature, it can be converted into wind energy, or it can be turned into a terrifying storm]
[In order to meet the action and exploration in the complex psionic environment, the Olok Company has developed this product]
[There are many models of this product, this model is "Personal Exploration Edition", which can only meet the needs of one person]
【……】
After reading the description, Susha was sure that this was what he needed now.
With this thing in hand, what position are you afraid of?
Many people say that since the advent of the Stance Device, the Mask Geek has never been dashing.
In fact, it's not just him, many formerly powerful psionic creatures have been keeping a low profile lately.
The Stand Device is indeed a killer feature.
In the battle of Fish Scale City, there were many people who risked their lives to broadcast live.
At that time, not only the people of Fish Scale City were watching, but many people in other cities also saw the horror of the Stance Device.
Therefore, when the news of Seahorse City was going to be locked down, most of the psionic creatures that came here became uneasy, and some even began to evacuate early.
Earlier in the tavern, Su Xia heard someone say, "The masked monster can't be a fake news released by the automaton, right? The tavern and the cyborg have been in trouble lately, will those damn robots deliberately lure us over and call the Anlo Trash to install a stance device and wipe us out?"
There were many people who supported this statement, and at that time, many people were scolding the group of Terran traitors in Anluo Company, and they wanted to hang those traitors and beat them.
Of course, there are also those who don't think it's necessary for the automatons.
There are even those who believe that the stance device is not as strong as it is advertised.
"Afraid of what? Is that really that powerful?"
"The picture of Fish Scale City, everyone has seen it, the masked monster has been consumed for several rounds before being caught off guard by the stance device......
"Most of the masked monsters have been beaten out of the psychological shadow, so they don't dare to come out."
At the end of the day, only a handful of people have experienced a stance device, and the vast majority have not experienced it firsthand.
They felt that even if their psionic energy was affected, they were stronger than ordinary people.
At least, the experience and reflexes they have honed over the years on the edge of life and death are not comparable to ordinary people.
Only those who have experienced it will understand......
In the Stance Device, psionic creatures may not even be as good as ordinary people.
The whole body psionic energy is like a mechanical device that is out of control, it does not help oneself in any way, but can induce negative effects such as headaches, muscle twitches, and weakening of the five senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Qi on the other side suddenly spoke, and she saw that Su Xia seemed to be distracted.
"Nothing, I think of some of the past." Susha said.
"I don't know where you're from yet."
"Coral City." Su Xia said bluntly, "I know what your husband did before, and I am half a comrade-in-arms with him."
He inherited the identity of the commander of the North Wind, but he was not that person after all, his soul had changed, and he could only be counted as half.
After receiving the reply, Su Qi's expression darkened, and she quietly looked at the fire in front of her, and was silent for a while.
Su Xia didn't say anything more.
He took out his mobile phone, found Ding Can's phone, and sent a text message:
[Before leaving, there is one last thing, it is a big thing, dare
Don't dare to do it with me? 】
Ding Can, who received the news, was shocked, his eyes widened, and he carefully read every word.
He always had a regret, that is, he couldn't act with Su Xia.
Now that Su Xia is leaving, he doesn't think there will be such an opportunity.
I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon!
He immediately replied:
【Come now!】 Where are you, my lord? 】
Seeing the news, Su Xia sent his location and told Ding Can to find a car with good performance.
Soon, Ding Can sent a message saying that he would only need twenty minutes to arrive.
It's not a long time, it's not a short time.
Su Xia turned off her phone, picked up the small bowl, and slowly drank the salty porridge in the bowl.
It was dark outside, and the fire in front of him swayed, and the fire crackled, and from time to time two or three sparks burst out, and behind him were shadows swaying with the firelight.
After a while, Su Xia finished drinking the salty porridge, put down the bowl and said, "I'm going to investigate this matter tonight, how is your mobility?"
Su Qi looked down at her stomach and stroked it gently, her eyes were complicated.
After a few moments, she raised her head and said to Susha, "I won't cause trouble."
"Okay."
Su Xia knew that this night was not destined to be too peaceful.
He needed the memories in Suki's head, and walking her through the mission might remind her more about her kidnapping.
It didn't take long for Suxia to sense a complex metal object approaching rapidly.
Ding Can is here.
He drove a black car with a thickened bulletproof and parked steadily outside the dilapidated house.
"Are you there, my lord?" Ding Can did not let his guard down, did not open the window, but shouted with an external horn.
"I'm here."
Su Xia got up and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the house.
The cold breeze of the night poured into the room, quickly driving away what little warmth there had, and the firelight was so overwhelming that it could not raise its head.
Seeing this, Suki also immediately got up and covered the flames with the surrounding dirt and soot.
Outside, Ding Can opened the car door.
This time he came alone, without any of his men.
He was a little excited, and said to Su Xia, "My lord, if necessary, I can call those dozens of brothers together."
Su Xia shook his head: "No need, there are many people, the three of us are enough."
"Okay, sir, you have the final say."
Ding Can had no objection and obeyed Su Xia's arrangement.
Then, he turned to look at Suki who had walked out of the house and asked, "......Who is this?"
"The wife of one of my comrades-in-arms." Su Xia didn't explain too much, "It's cold outside, get in the car first and talk about things in the car."
"No problem."
Ding Can immediately nodded and opened the door of the back seat for Su Qi.
Su Xia fully turned on his metal sensing ability and sensed the car from the inside out, but no listening equipment was found, and the positioning equipment had been destroyed by Ding Can.
Overall, the car is quite safe.
It was warm in the cabin and the air conditioning was at a good temperature.
After getting in the car, it was still Ding Can who was driving, and Su Xia was sitting in the passenger seat.
Ding Can asked, "My lord, where are we going?"
"A singer's home." Su Xia said to him, "That singer committed suicide two years ago, his name is An Shen, do you have any impression?"
"Of course I do, I've heard his songs."
As he spoke, Ding Can turned on the car video and ordered an An Shen song.
The song is fast-paced, energetic, and catchy, and just listening to it reminds you of a sunny day.
"Let's drive, go to his house first." Susha said.
"My lord, there is no one in An Shen's house anymore, we want to ......."
"Well, sneak in and investigate."
"Good!"
Ding Can took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement, he didn't even ask what it was.
But he could sense that it must be subversive.
"Hum—"
The engine roared and the wheels began to turn.
The heavy body pressed against the road, like a black steel beast, rushing to the target location in the night.
Based on the current speed, it is speculated that they will probably arrive at An Shen's home at eight o'clock in the evening.
On the way, Su Xia briefly talked about the cause of this mission.
Suki recounted her experience after being kidnapped.
"How lawless are those people?"
Before he could finish listening, Ding Can was furious.
His foot on the accelerator was unconsciously much heavier, and he patted the steering wheel hard and said, "My lord, those people must be killed!"
After all, this eighteen-year-old young man has seen too little, experienced enough, and in times of anger, the most cruel punishment he can think of is death.
Susha said to him, "Calm down, be calm at all times, and every word you say must go through your head."
"My lord, I understand......
Ding Can clung to the steering wheel, with so much force, the green tendons on the back of his hands were visible, which was enough to see the unpeace in his heart.
Su Xia continued, "Right now, we don't know who is behind it, so we can only investigate slowly."
"My lord, why is it the An Shen family?"
"I've got some gossip that his death may have something to do with those people."
"So, he really didn't kill himself......
Two years ago, when the news of the genius singer's death was revealed, many people didn't believe it, especially his fans.
At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and the headlines of various news media were occupied.
But the final conclusion is simple – depression.
This young singer, who looks sunny and cheerful, actually suffers from depression.
In the end, many fans had to accept the facts, thinking that it was suicide.
"Is this the type of song he sings?" Su Xia suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's all the same light." Ding Can replied, "When I first heard that he had depression, I thought it was quite strange, but I didn't dig into it."
At that time, he was only sixteen years old, and he was still busy fighting against his father, and he had not even established his own organization.
In these chaotic times, there are so many strange things.
Most people only seek to protect themselves and rarely explore certain things.
Through Ding Can's narration and the information found on the Internet, Su Xia gradually got to know this young singer named An Shen.
Childhood misfortunes, the death of both parents, school bullying, dropping out of school to work, gang control, wandering, and all kinds of difficult and painful encounters have been experienced, but in adulthood, there is always only a positive and sunny side to show everyone.
"I have experienced such a miserable first half of my life, but I committed suicide after becoming famous, it really doesn't make sense." Ding Can said.
"Hmm."
During the exchange between the two, the speed of the car did not slow down, and they were getting closer and closer to their destination.
At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded from behind.
"Didi!"
Ding Can glanced in the rearview mirror and found that it was a car from the city defense department, and the other party was signaling him to stop.
He said dissatisfiedly: "I got a new car today, and those guys in the city defense actually dared to stop me."
"Pull aside, see what they want to do." Susha said.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Ding Can immediately slowed down, stopped on the side of the road, and then pressed the window.
The car of the city defense department in the back also slowed down and stopped, and out of it came two inspectors, dressed in uniforms and with serious expressions, as if they wanted to conduct a routine inspection.
But when they saw Ding Can's face, they changed their faces one after another.
This little overlord, there are few people in Seahorse City who dare to provoke.
One of them secretly cried out in his heart that he was unlucky,
Squeezed out a smile and said to Ding Can, "Mr. Ding, why do you drive yourself?"
"What, I don't have hands? Can't drive?" Ding Can was very polite.
"No, no."
The man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It has been snowing in the past two days, and the road is slippery after dark, please pay attention to safety Mr. Ding, don't drive too fast, you have just exceeded 135."
Ding Can frowned: "Are you questioning my driving ability?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that." A cold sweat appeared on the man's forehead, "There have been a lot of strangers in the city recently, and I'm afraid they won't follow the rules."
"Are you mocking me for not following the rules?"
"No ......"
The man's voice trembled, wiped his sweat, and said, "The city is going to be closed, please be careful Mr. Ding, you may meet mechanical soldiers on the road for interrogation."
"You're cursing me?"
"No......"
This person's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to communicate with Ding Can normally.
He glanced at his companion beside him for help, but the companion just lowered his head, was silent, and did not dare to say anything.
Just then, a voice came from the car: "Tell me about the lockdown."
The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes...... That's right, there's news from above that the city will be closed at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"How do you seal it?"
"I don't know, I've heard it's an order from the automaton."
"Nothing more?"
"My lord, I'm just an ordinary inspector......
This man really didn't know more, but he was afraid that the people in the car would blame, so he could only keep apologizing and explaining.
After all, how many can there be in the entire Coral City that can make this little overlord personally the driver?
The person in the car, the identity is definitely not simple.
"Alright, let's go." Ding Can waved his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Ding has a safe journey."
This person didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of provoking Ding Can's dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, Ding Can did not entangle.
He closed the window, refueled his feet, and the wheels began to turn, slowly leaving the place under the watchful eyes of the two inspectors.
After driving a distance, Ding Can said to Su Xia, "My lord, why don't I find a relationship and ask about the closure of the city?"
Su Xia asked him, "What does it matter?" Can you bypass your father?"
"This ......"
Ding Can hesitated, not seeming to have much confidence.
Seeing him like this, Su Xia said, "Then forget it, let it be, what should come will always come."
Ding Can nodded, "Okay."
The two continued the previous topic and talked back to the young singer.
The clock passed slowly and came to eight o'clock in the evening.
Just after eight o'clock, the car stopped in an area on the border between the city and the suburbs.
Further on, you can see an old villa, the yard of the villa is overgrown with weeds, and the iron gate outside is rusty, and it looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.
"Two years ago, An Shen committed suicide in the basement of this villa." Ding Can introduced.
In various locations such as the gate and window of the villa, you can also see the wooden strips nailed by the Law Enforcement Bureau and the seals pasted on them, some of which have not yet fallen off and have turned yellow.
When the singer just died, there were countless fans who came to his door to pay their respects.
But now, only two years have passed, and his influence is like a sandcastle on the seaside, which has long since passed away with the waves, leaving only a few crystalline sands to prove that he once existed.
According to the quest prompt, it is likely that the singer was "killed by suicide".
There are similar things in every world, but some of the methods are relatively crude, such as "being shot in the back", "shooting twice in the head" and so on.
And the singer's death was simple, he committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
"The locks are rusty." Ding Can walked to the iron door and took out a wire that he had brought with him.
He bent the iron, and then again
It took only more than ten seconds to easily open the lock on the iron door.
"You still have the technology?" Su Xia asked him.
"It's okay to be idle, look for those people in prison to learn."
Ding Can smiled and put away the wire and other sons.
According to him, there is a complete tutorial on sliding door lockpicking in prison, which can be covered from beginner to proficient, and can be learned by asking those inmates for two packs of cigarettes.
"Crunch ......"
Wearing rubber gloves, he gently pushed the door, and the rusty iron door slowly opened.
The courtyard behind the gate was full of wild grass, and the night wind blew like a wave, and the stone road leading to the main entrance of the villa was invisible.
The two walked into the courtyard and did not go to the main entrance, but walked around the villa first to see if they could find anything.
Soon, at the back of the villa, Susha noticed something unusual.
He approached a window that was boarded with a wooden plank, reached out and touched it gently, and said, "Someone else has come before us."
"Huh?" Ding Can was surprised.
Maybe it was too dark for him to notice anything.
Susha said, "If you look closely at the nails on the board, there are deep and shallow strips around the nails, which are the marks left when they are pulled out...... This shows that someone pulled out the nails, removed the planks that sealed the windows, and finally installed them back and drove the nails into the small holes that were left behind, but the traces remained."
Ding Can suddenly said, "Indeed."
He immediately went to inspect the wooden planks of the rest of the windows, and found that there were no other signs around the nails of the boards.
In other words, only that window was ever opened.
If it's someone from the Law Enforcement Bureau, just go through the front door, and you don't need to work so hard.
Will it be a crazy fan?
"Click!"
Su Xia suddenly used force and ripped off the entire plank.
Perhaps because they were unloaded once, the planks were not strong anymore.
Ding Can also helped on the side, and put the removed planks next to him in turn to facilitate the installation of them later.
When all the planks were removed, only a small window remained.
The glass had already been broken, and when I stood at the window and looked inside, the interior of the villa was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only a musty smell and an inexplicable coldness.
