Numbered 48953239 universe.

A black man in a blue suit with the Star-Spangled Banner flying behind him looks at the message that emerges from the retina.

[Disaster events occur.] 】

[A chaotic and distorted world, violence, crime, drug trafficking, smuggling, murder, robbery, this is the world you are in. 】

[Hurry up and deal with the incident, weak chicken, you can't even do this little thing, right? ] 】

[Now give you 10 minutes to deal with it, if you don't solve the incident, you just wait to go back to the furnace and rebuild! ] 】

This, this is the task given to me by the system?

What an arrogant tone!

Damn, they all crossed into the motherland, and they had to be led by the nose by the system.

It's so unpleasant!

The black man did not dare to hesitate, and immediately flew into the air and rushed to the scene of the incident.

in the Multiverse Authority.

Azu took his hands off the keyboard, he had just sent a message of the incident to the countryman he was in charge of.

Seeing the black man on the screen rushing into the bank, and then the gunshots and screams rang out in the bank, Azu shrugged his shoulders, opened the drawer, and took out a bag of potato chips from it.

I tore open the outer packaging and took a piece and threw it in my mouth.

While eating snacks, I looked at the motherland person I was in charge of on the screen, like watching a boring TV series.

It's been a month.

It's been a month since Azu came to the Authority.

Basically, he already knows the scope of his work, and as a newcomer, he only needs to be in charge of one universe.

And those around him who have been working for decades, even hundreds of years, are each responsible for multiple universes.

Staring at the screen like a guard every day.

In the Authority, they, the Administrators, are immortal, but retain some physiological needs, such as eating.

As such, the Authority has provided countless foods, and there is a food ordering machine in the break room that can be used to order food from countless multiverses.

Some of them include something that looks suspicious, such as roasted frog jerky from a planet.

Furthermore.

The administrator's salary is something called a 'palu', which is a 'currency' that, of course, is only in circulation in the Authority.

Administrators can use 'Palu' to exchange various things with the Authority, including but not limited to, exchanging a planet in a certain universe, a certain civilization, a slave on a planet, etc.

Then during the holidays, you can go on vacation to these self-redeeming planets and enjoy the taste of being a creator.

Azu only found it boring when he learned this, if he wanted to be the creator, he didn't have to spend so much information to become an administrator.

Of course.

There are also benefits to being an administrator.

The biggest advantage is that you don't have to worry about wanting to destroy the world on a whim, and then restart the universe for the administrator in charge of yourself.

And these days, Azu knocked on the side and inquired in many ways, but he still didn't find the answer, and I don't know why the Authority attaches so much importance to the destruction of the world by the motherland.

At this time, a loud shout suddenly sounded in front of the office hall, and Azu looked up to see an administrator jumping on the table and smashing the keyboard to the ground like a madman.

"I'm quitting!"

"I'm quitting!"

"I'm getting out of here, I'm not going to be an administrator anymore!"

"I'm going back, back to my original universe!"

At this moment a team of guards rushed over, knocked him down, and escorted him away.

"Poor Jacques, he's crazy again."

Azu turned around, and a fat man behind him was eating ice cream, and said as he ate, "But it's okay, he just needs to make some adjustments, we people, who are not." ”

Azu couldn't help but glance at the fat man.

Adjust?

What adjustments?

Do admins go crazy every once in a while?

Azu frowned, then looked at the time, it was time to rest.

He left his place and went to the break room.

The lounge is huge, there is a food area, there is a entertainment area, and there is a pool.

Azu got himself a cup of coffee in the food area, and before he could drink it, a familiar figure appeared next to him.

Vera.

She also ordered herself a cup of coffee, and then whispered, "Come to my room in the evening and say something." ”

Azu glanced at her, then nodded.

As soon as he finished drinking his coffee, a voice sounded in Azu's collar pin: "Dear Mr. John, it has been more than 10 minutes since you left your post. ”

"Please come back to your work and let's keep the multiverse safe together."

Azu put the cup down and went back to work.

At night.

Vera let out a sound of satisfaction, then got up and walked into the bathroom, where soon the sound of water sounded.

Azu lay on the bed and silently lit a cigarette.

Rolling the sheets with Vera became one of the few ways to relax after coming to the Authority, and the same was true for the woman.

It's just that here, they've all become ordinary people, so they can't fight all night.

A moment later, Vera came out wrapped in a bath towel, and she said as she wiped her hair with the towel.

"We've got to find a way to get out of this place."

"I've recently discovered that the Authority interferes with our thinking."

Azu looked at her: "How to interfere?" ”

Vera shook her head, "I don't know, maybe some kind of machine, or something." ”

"In short, they call it a 'thought adjustment,' and every once in a while, the administrator needs to do a 'thought adjustment.'"

"For newcomers like us, it's usually after a year of hiring."

"I think that's how the Authority controls us, and that's why the administrators here have been able to do it for hundreds, if not millennia."

Azu suddenly burst into a hair.

He remembered Alexander, the man who had been in the Authority for more than five thousand years, what a long time.

How did he survive the 1.8 million days?

If you are a normal person, you will go crazy if you repeat the same work every day, right?

"Ideological Adjustment"

Vera sat down again and whispered, "In addition, I heard that once the Administrator resigns, the Authority will approve it, but these Administrators did not return to their own universe, but were destroyed. ”

"That's why people don't dare to resign."

"Anyway, I don't like it here."

"I didn't want to find a job for myself when I became an administrator, not to mention that this job lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, so it might as well kill me!"

Azu nodded in agreement, but it was not easy to leave the Authority.

To do this, at least two requirements need to be met.

One is the ability to travel taxis between the Authority and the Multiverse.

The second is a universe that will not be monitored by the administrators, a universe where there are no motherlanders.

These two conditions, either one, will not be simple.

Without hiding his secrets, Azu said his thoughts, if he wanted to break away from the Authority, it was obviously difficult for him to do it alone.

After all, now he is just an ordinary person.

"I should be able to figure out a way for that kind of taxi."

Vera pulled out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "That taxi is actually a multiverse shuttle that can travel between the Authority and the Authority between the different multiverses. ”

"Every once in a while, the shuttle needs to be sent for maintenance and inspection."

"I happen to know an inspector and might be able to get a shuttle from him, but I'm not sure it is."

"But the second request, it's a bit troublesome to find a universe that doesn't exist without the motherland."

"Because of that kind of shuttle, you can only go to the motherland universe, but you can't go to Marvel, or the DC universe."

Azu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I thought of a notice." ”

"We can go back to our own universe and travel to other universes with the help of props or something," he said. ”

"But if we do, we'll be discovered by the Authority."

Vera shook her head and said, "Just imagine, if we take action, the Authority will definitely find out and know who we are." ”

"Know who we are, and even if we can get our hands on a shuttle, they'll be watching our universe to see if we'll go back."

"Ten thousand steps back, even if we can hide from the Authority's return, as long as we use props to travel to other universes, the Authority will be aware of it."

A figure suddenly flashed in Azu's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "If I can return to my universe, I have a way to go to other universes without the help of props. ”

"So the question we're left with is how to get a shuttle and fool the Authority."

"This matter needs to be considered in the long term, and nothing can go wrong, after all, we only have one chance."

Vera spat out a cloud of smoke and said, "Then we have to hurry up, after all, there is less than a year left, and we have to make 'mental adjustments'." ”

"After making adjustments, we may not be the same as we are."

Azu nodded, and said, "In addition, we can't have close contact in the future, otherwise the Authority will be suspicious." ”

"We'll have to negotiate a secret communication code to use to communicate."

Vera said, "I'll design the password. ”

After speaking, she licked her lips: "One more shot?" ”

The next day.

Azu returned to the office hall and saw that the administrator named Jake from yesterday had returned.

He couldn't see how crazy he was yesterday, but today he was smiling, throwing himself into his job and putting 100 percent enthusiasm into it.

Seeing this administrator, Azu was even more determined to escape from the Authority.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

For most of the year, Azu and Vera silently prepared, and through continuous running-in, a plan gradually took shape.

this day.

As soon as Azu came to his desk, he saw a card on the table, and he picked it up and saw that it was a number plate.

Flip it over again, and the words 'Mind Adjustment' are impressively visible on the card.

He's going to have a 'mind adjustment' tomorrow!

Azu's pupils shrank slightly.

Two hours later.

Azu arrives in the lounge, and while ordering coffee for herself, Vera comes over.

With the help of ordering coffee, she used the gesture code she designed to convey a message to Azu: Tomorrow I will accept the adjustment of my mind, which will come faster than I imagined.

Azu replied without a trace: Me too, it seems that the plan was ahead of schedule, but fortunately, everything was almost ready.

A hint of determination flashed in Vera's eyes: Then let's act tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

As soon as Azu got up, he heard a knock at the door, and when he opened it, he saw two guards standing outside the door.

"Mr. John, today is the day for you to be adjusted in your mind, please come with us."

"Okay."

"Let me change my clothes."

Azu pointed to his civilian clothes: "I can't go out in it." ”

The guards didn't bother him.

"Give you 5 minutes."

Five minutes later, Azu came out in a suit, and in his sleeve there was a toothbrush with a sharpened handle.

This is his weapon.

It wasn't long before he met Vera, who was also escorted by two female guards.

As the two exchanged glances, Azu took the toothbrush with the sharp tail in his hand, suddenly turned around and stabbed the toothbrush into the neck of one of the guards.

The guard's eyes widened as he drew his pistol and fired at one of the female guards beside Vera.

Vera took the opportunity to pounce on the other guard, drew her gun, and shot the other guard escorting Azu.

Subsequently.

Together, they took out the other guard who was escorting Vera.

They have been practicing this set of movements for a long time on weekdays to make sure that there are no mistakes.

After doing all this, the two went their separate ways.

Vera ran for the exit, and Azu yelled to attract the attention of the other guards and lead them in another direction.

In the Authority building, Alexander is in the office when he is suddenly notified that two administrators have attacked the guards, one of whom has already been shot dead by the guards.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw corpses on the ground, all of which had been blown up beyond recognition.

"What's going on?"

One guard reported: "An administrator named John held the guards hostage, they detonated a bomb in the house, and after the explosion, we rushed in and shot Administrator John. ”

He pointed to a bloody corpse in a suit with a silver pin at the collar that was about to melt.

"What about the other Administrator?" Alexander asked.

"She stole a shuttle out of nowhere, and we didn't notice it for a while, so she entered the multiverse tunnel."

Alexander immediately shouted: "Watch her universe, she must be back in her own universe!" ”

That's when the guards got into action.

"Boss, I'll go home first."

"Go back, rest early, aren't you going to have surgery tomorrow?"

"Yes, then I'll go first."

Lin Aida came out of the restaurant, led the guide dog Arthur to the subway station, got out of the subway, and walked a little more to his apartment building.

I went up to the fourth floor and came to the apartment I rented.

She pulled out the key, and when she opened it, there was a surge of light inside the door.

Arthur screamed and did not enter the gate, and Lin Aida immediately noticed the abnormality.

"Is the door open again?"

"Without Mr. John with me this time, I will have to rely on myself."

"Arthur, you wait for me here, I'll be back in a moment."

Lin Aida let go of the leash and walked into the door.

Just as she entered the door, Arthur's eyes flickered, and he saw two figures following Lin Aida into the door.

In the next second, Lin Aida came out of the door, but she had already changed her clothes.

At this point, the door closes, Arthur barks a few times, and the dog realizes that the other two have not returned.

But it can't tell Lin Ida, after all, it's just a dog.

On the beach, a bearded man was smoking a cigar and noticed a couple of men and women looking at him, he snorted, picked up his clothes and walked away.

The man and woman laughed and went in opposite directions.

On the road.

The woman said: "Your idea of faking your death is really good, making the Authority think that I escaped back to my own universe, but I didn't expect us to come to your universe together." ”

The man said: "But thanks to Lin Ida, she has the ability to open the door of diversity, so that we can escape to the X-Men universe." ”

"There are no motherlanders here, we didn't rely on props to get here, and the Authority won't be monitoring this universe."

The woman stretched, her short white-blond hair shining in the sun: "It's good that we're finally free." ”

The blond-haired and blue-eyed man nodded: "And our power and authority have been preserved, here, we can do whatever we want, without any restraints." ”

"So, let's separate here, shall we?"

"Well, goodbye."

"No, it's better never to see you again."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then he flew into the air all at once, scattering things.
