At dusk.

A huge cargo ship is slowly sailing along the North Sea route, and this cargo ship is the [Serpent's Hand] cargo ship that has just sailed out of the port of Rotterdam.

When—

A violent shaking was transmitted from the stern to the entire ship, and many people on the cargo ship could feel the obvious shaking, and Buck, the leader of [the Serpent's Hand], changed into a formal suit and hurried to the cockpit.

"What's going on?" Buck asked anxiously at the captain.

"I guess I've hit the rocks." The captain replied unusually calmly.

"I've sent people to measure the tide and survey the surrounding water, and they'll be responsible for checking the damage to the ship's hull. If the reef is light, the boat can still move, but it needs to be turned to the shallow water as soon as possible to collect the boat and have its hull fully inspected. If a leak is found, it can only be drained and plugged to prevent sinking. The captain then explained to Buck.

Buck looked at his watch, it was exactly 18:00, and if he wanted to get to the next [Shielded Domain] according to the scheduled sailing time, he would need to leave by 19:00.

"Hurry up with your men, make sure to determine the damage to the hull within an hour."

"Okay."

On the deck of a cargo ship.

Several crew members in wetsuits turned on the lights above their heads, and they descended into the water level through the ship's elevator, and when they reached the water level, they began to dive down.

Rumbling bubbles bubbled up from the crew's snorkels, and they slid their flippers toward the bottom of the ship.

The circular lampposts from the lights above their heads hit the nearby corals, which were reflected by the lights and emitted a strange luster.

The divers soon reached the bottom of the boat, and they found that there was no reef under the bottom of the boat at all, and there were anemones nearby, and red and white clownfish were leisurely roaming around the anemones.

Nothing, so why······

Just when the divers were puzzled, their lights reflected on a humanoid figure, whose hands were pressed against the steel plate at the bottom of the boat.

What is that?

The figure seemed to spot them, and he slowly turned his body, and the divers observed him... She, no, no, no, that face was too dreamy.

The corals on the bottom of the sea are bewitching and beautiful enough under the reflection of the lights, but the existence of the other party has successfully turned this beauty into a background board, he is like the only pigment on a pure white drawing paper, firmly attracting everyone's attention.

A blurred figure emerged from behind the other party: a pair of bright eyes, fluffy curly hair, ruddy cheeks, an ivory-like neck, slightly open lips, and a charming face, like a hibiscus out of the water.

The figure grinned toothily at the diver.

The eyes of the divers who saw each other's smiles became completely intoxicated, as if they had been eroded by alcohol, and at this time they only had each other's beautiful figures in their minds.

Phwis Tucker looked at the divers who had been bewitched by the Mother of the Masters emanating from his [Juggernaut Incarnation], and after a second of thought, he decided to save their lives.

Phossis Tucker was originally going to go directly to the Amsterdam area to reinforce Lemuel Gaumont according to Eden's original instructions, but when he stepped into the North Sea, he received a new email and instructions from Eden.

The email he received was:

Report on [Serpent's Hand] Involvement in the Seizure of Power by Qualified Persons {Attachment - Cargo Ship Information+}"

Proposal for the Replacement of Eligible Persons [Ember Ingots] {Attachment+}"

And Eden's instructions are to ask himself to hold the cargo ship of [Serpent's Hand] first, and after holding it, he must control the personnel on the ship, so that other personnel of [Serpent's Hand] can not find the abnormality.

When he received this order, the distance between him and the other party was at least more than 30 kilometers.

In order to complete the task assigned by his boss, Phossis Tucker could only swim directly to the location of the cargo ship.

With the [multiple lungs] and other augmentations he was carrying, he managed to stop them before they could reach [Shielder Domain].

At this time, Phucis Tucker controlled the divers on the return journey through the ability of [Juggernaut Avatar], and he followed behind them.

On the other side, Buck followed the captain to the boundary plate and waited for the divers to come up, he didn't want to stay here for too long, this can be said to be the interference area that the kingdom of heaven attaches importance to, and he can't guarantee when he will meet the angel of the kingdom of heaven······

Smack-

A loud sound caught the attention of an agitated Buck, who turned his gaze to the place where the noise had started, and it was the hands in the wetsuit, and the divers climbed up the deck from the lift platform with their hands firmly propped up.

"How about it, the reef is not serious!" Buck asked the diver more eagerly than the captain.

"Water... Immortals... Flowers..." The diver looked back at Buck with a confused look.

"What?"

Smack-

At this time, many divers climbed up from the lifting platform, and when they came up, they repeated the words of daffodils with the same eyes as the first diver.

Buck had sensed that something was wrong, and he immediately took out the [Emergency Warning] device from his arms, and he wanted to pass the news on to the other members, and he had to ······

Qi··· Blame...

I... For··· What·· Can't·· Moved

That's...

Daffodils··· How beautiful...

Smack-

A pair of slender and white arms stretched out from the lifting platform and placed them on the deck, and then a figure successfully jumped from the lifting platform to the deck with a strong force.

"According to the budget, my Mysamic virus should be spreading throughout the ship by now."

The figure has a red upper body, eight toned abdominal muscles arranged in an orderly manner, and he has long straight blond hair and a face that is indistinguishable from male and female.

Buck recognized the other person at the last moment before he became unconscious.

Phosis Tucker, the highest of the three classes in the kingdom of heaven - the [Lord Angel] class.

The [Juggernaut] belonging to the Burial Agency-[Drunken] squad, and his [Juggernaut Avatar] is named [Nacissos]!

Fursis Tucker looked at Buck, and he asked Buck with interest:

"You seem to know me?"

Buck, with a mesmerized look in his eyes, replied to him:

"You are one of the few personnel of the burial agency to make a public appearance, plus your face..."

"Oh, I see."

At this time, Furces Tucker couldn't help but start whispering:

"I knew that the guys from the publicity and distribution department would refuse them when they came to me to shoot posters, but the model fee they gave at that time was really high..."

"Let's continue on the scheduled route."

"Yes."

Foxis Tucker slowly walked into the cabin, and the nearby crew followed him with confused eyes.

At this point, the entire ship's [Serpent's Hand] personnel have been contained, and this is just the beginning.

·········

【Ding——】

You have an email from Eden! 】

Xia Xiu, who was in the Zandvoort region, received an email from Eden, and he opened the genealogy interface to check the contents of the email.

———— mail from Eden————

From: Eden

Dispatch time: 1589.6.9. Night: 21:00

To: Hugh Abraham

Subject: Eden has approved the Proposal for the Exchange of the Eligible [Ember Bars] and has ordered [Lord Angel - Phoxys Tucker] to complete the proposal (now in control of the [Serpent's Hand] freighter), which is expected to be completed in 15 calendar days.

The subsequent swap quest will be yours to complete, and Eden will provide the Epistemic Miscellan.

——————————————

Phosis Tucker, I remember that his [Juggernaut Incarnate Nacissos] had [Forced Enchantment] and [Daffodil Love], tsk, these two mimatoes acted on the [Serpent's Hand], which was mostly a common member, and it was a disaster.

Xia Xiu thought gloatingly.

But I have more tasks at hand now.

Xia Xiu turned his mind to the file that Zero One had just given him, which described a lot of scattered and messy mission objectives: there were government officials, there were other transcendents, and there were ordinary people.

The locations of these missions are very fragmented: Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven and Tilburg are all found.

As an armed force that directly serves the Qualified Assembly, the think tanks and decision-makers of the Shadows are not foolish enough to hand over tasks with unsimilar goals to their members.

The principle of efficiency is applicable in any workplace, especially for purely violent institutions.

So they are deliberately hiding something, this kind of method of wanting to cover up is not too clever, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, the question is what to see.

Can anyone find something in this scattered and complex process?

Xia Xiu's left index finger and thumb were slowly turning the ring on his right index finger.

The qualified are still too tender, and their thinking is still stuck in the conventional thinking of ordinary people.

They didn't know that there was something called an algorithm, and they didn't know how terrible it was about genealogy think tanks.

Eden's instructions to the members of the kingdom of heaven are: opcode (mission target) + address code (target location).

In addition to being used by think tanks to calculate huge EVE particle combination formulas and peripheral devices to assist members in thaumaturgical release, the Celestial Algorithm is also a supercomputer used to analyze complex schemes and accurately and completely describe the solution schemes.

[Relevant data has been entered——]

[Please build a task model——]

[Model: Use this data combined with the topographic map of the Amsterdam area to analyze a working thaumaturgical geometry map (magic circle)!] 】

[Model proofreading: The advent of the [interface pan-consciousness layer] is the main condition!] 】

【Calculating——】

[Results: A total of 57 feasible options (please provide more data to correct the results)]

57 kinds, now I don't have time to eliminate them one by one, so I can only continue to find a way to get comparison data from the dark side.

Xia Xiu looked at the results obtained from the genealogy interface, and stopped turning the left hand of the ring, what he lacked most now was time.

Xia Xiu could feel the eagerness of the Qualified Ones to summon the Flame Beast Interface all the time, and the Qualified Ones were estimated to start the official launching ceremony next month, so they had to speed up their actions.

·······

Following.

Utrecht, Amsterdam Region.

Outside the door of an old piano room, two weirdos in white protective suits and smiling masks are standing.

"This is Roy Charlene's piano room, it's even more quaint than it looks in the materials." Xia Xiu looked at the old door number and sighed.

"Wu Liuqi, I'll go in and do it directly." Zero One on the side said slowly to Xia Xiu.

"All the people have been evacuated?"

"The mission allows for casualties."

"That's what the boss said?"

"It's a one-on-one lesson today, and Roy Shalene's students have half an hour to come over, and we have to solve each other's problems in half an hour."

"Obviously, they have already prepared measures, and they are deliberately so ruthless."

“······”

"But thirty minutes is enough?"

"Trust me, thirty minutes is enough." Facing Xia Xiu's questioning, Zero One replied simply, his tone firm and serious.

"Okay, I'll be in charge of attracting firepower later, and I'll be in charge of sneaking up on the back." Xia Xiu patted Zero One's shoulder, and then walked into the piano room first.

“······”

Xia Xiu slowly walked into the piano room mentioned in the information Code: 38.

Xia Xiu slowly took out the cross-knuckle tiger and put it on his hands, and then directly kicked open the door of the piano room.

At this time, a woman in the piano room with curly brown hair and a freckled face, who looked to be in her thirties, looked up at the door, and when she saw the smiling mask, her face could not help but change dramatically.

Boom Boom Boom –

A huge pillar of flame erupted from the cross-knuckle tiger in the smiling masked man's right fist, and Roy Shalene could only barely open the [Water Ring Shield] she was wearing at her necklace, and a huge water barrier enveloped her.

Whoa—

The barrier had been evaporated by the terrible flames, and by this time the fire alarm shower in the piano room had been triggered, and raindrops were pouring out of the shower.

Qiang –

The raindrops from the shower suddenly formed an ice blade and slashed towards Xia Xiu, and he used the fingers of both hands to open the ice blade.

After the ice blade was opened, Roy Shalene, whose sleeves were burned, slashed at his head with a flowing water blade.

Xia Xiu dodged the slash with one lower back, and then he used his hands as a support point and kicked Roy Sharin's chest in a rising position.

Bump –

The other party was directly knocked out, and Xia Xiu also readjusted his posture and stood up.

"It's a bit flat."

Xia Xiu taunted Roy Sharin, who was spinning and stopping in mid-air.

"You scumbag !!"

Xia Xiu's taunt effect was very good, at this time, the raindrops sprayed by the shower around him began to turn into ice picks and attack Xia Xiu continuously, and Xia Xiu only changed the frequency of the cross finger tiger, so that four flame tiger claws stretched out from the ten characters of the finger tiger.

Click, click

The ice pick was easily blocked by Xia Xiu, and Roy Shalin slashed at herself again with a flowing water blade, the water blade in her hand was very sharp, and when Xia Xiu dodged sideways just now, the water blade slashed at the wall, and the wall was easily cut like paper paste.

Qiang Qiang Qiang –

Xia Xiu fought with Roy Shalin more than ten times with his finger tiger, and after he confronted the other party again and blocked the other party, he suddenly opened his mouth and smiled at her:

"Goodbye, ma'am."

Wh··· Is it?

Whew——

A flaming blade appeared behind Roy Charlene and slashed across her neck.

A puzzled head tumbled to the ground.

"Spies, Roy Charlene, cleared."

Zero One slowly tucked the flaming fire blade into his scabbard, while Xia Xiu gave him a thumbs up.

"Burn it all down, disguise it as a gas pipe leak."

"Well, I'm good at that."

Boom Boom Boom –

A violent explosion erupted from room 38, and many people in the neighborhood began to report the fire.

At this time, a little fat man with a snot looked at the piano room that suddenly exploded, and the first thought that came to his heart was: Finally, I don't have to practice anymore.

It seems that Chubby Dun doesn't miss Teacher Roy Shalene, who is already free.

········

On the rooftop diagonally opposite the burning piano room.

At this time, a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes in a white protective suit was leisurely leaning on the railing of the rooftop, and he was watching the fire scene opposite the building with a happy face.

The blonde youth is holding a strawberry-flavored popsicle in his mouth, and next to the youth is a smiling mask.

"Senior, this blueberry flavor is for you." The blonde youth handed a blue bag in his left hand to the "weirdo" who was also wearing a protective suit but wearing a smiling mask on his face.

"That's what you say is important!" Zero One said to Xia Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't be so tight, work is work, life is life. Although we can't have a drink after work, there is always time to eat a popsicle, and this is also a review work, and the after-sales work must also be done. ”

Xia Xiu instilled his crooked reasoning at Zero One with a serious face, and shook the blueberry-flavored popsicle in his hand as he spoke, the posture looked like he was teasing a puppy, and Zero One's fists were hard when he saw it.

The head has been cut off, and the other party wants some after-sales service.

Zero One shook his hand and snatched the popsicle that Xia Xiu was shaking, and then he suddenly spoke:

"Thirty minutes."

Xia Xiu was stunned, and then he looked at Zero One in disbelief.

"No, no, you're not still angry about what you just did."

Zero One didn't want to pay attention to this golden retriever.

Looking at Zero One, who was silent again, Xia Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart: I didn't expect you to be this type of person, I thought you were a cold type.

Moreover, if the battle just now was not for the perfect play of the role of the qualified person, with Roy Shalene's kind of goods, he could be chopped to pieces in every minute.

During the back and forth with the opponent just now, he almost couldn't resist giving the opponent's weak point a light wheel several times to end the battle directly.

You have to know that the feeling of enduring the abuse of vegetables is very uncomfortable.

"Come, senior, eat popsicles, it's not good to melt later."

Xia Xiu was urging Zero One to eat quickly, while his eyes were curiously staring at the other party's face.

Zero One didn't know Xia Xiu's plans, and he didn't have the weird mission and hobby of having to wear a mask all the time, so he slowly took off his mask.

Beneath the mask is a burned face on the left side of the face and an intact right side of the face.

Through Zero One's intact right side of his face, it can be seen that he was once a handsome man.

"Senior, are you the male protagonist of the third-rate bitter script?"

Zero One imagined countless words and expressions that the other party would say, some scared, some comforting, and some disapproving.

But he never thought that the other party would say such a thing, and at this time, the thousands of thoughts in his heart had already become one word.

"Get out!"

"Isn't that curious?"

"Did someone tell you you were underwhelmed by the beating?"

"There are really a lot of people who have said it, but it's a pity that none of them can realize their dreams."

"Huh-"

Bump –

"Hey, I've been on your radar."

Zero One slowly withdrew the knife that had been cut out with the scabbard, while Xia Xiu continued with a smile on his face:

"I actually want to ask why you follow the boss, you should know my words, she gave enough money, so I followed him, what about you?"

Zero glanced at Xia Xiu, and then said in a deep tone:

"The connection of the qualified is not as simple as the connection of money, and you will understand it later as your organs, that is, your flame grows stronger."

"As for why I followed Lady Pansy Jane, it was only because she had saved my life, and without her, I would not have been burned with half of my face."

After listening to Zero One's answer, Xia Xiu bit the popsicle in his mouth, and then he used the ability of [Fire] to ignite the wooden stick in his hand, and he continued to ask Zero One in a casual tone:

"The people in the city government call ourselves [Shengyang] or [Shengyang's children], while we call ourselves qualified, is this a matter of position similar to a political party dispute?"

"It's about iteration."

"Iteration?"

"There have been batches of qualified people, but in fact, most of the qualified people have the same ability, and there is no so-called class now."

The Xia Xiu in Zero One's cognition is a stranger who ran from the Wudu area to the Amsterdam area for refuge, and then luckily became a qualified person, so he will answer Xia Xiu's questions responsibly.

As he just said, the connection of the qualified person is not only as simple as the material level of money, although he cannot explain the principle clearly, but in his cognition, or in the cognition of all qualified people, there is an inscribed truth:

The Qualified will not betray the Qualified!

"The first generation of qualified people were called "flame men", and they could not control their abilities independently, but now such qualified people are almost extinct. ”

"The second generation of qualifiers are the regular qualifiers, they have the regular [fire] ability, but they can't control the flames 100%, so they have to use special [arson] equipment." Zero One patted the knife in his hand as he spoke.

Xia Xiu recalled Pansy Jane's shape-changing hilt and the [Ember Ingot].

No wonder [Serpent's Hand] says [Ember Bar] is the most suitable piece of equipment for the qualified.

"Next up is Gen 2.5." Zero One continued.

"Wait, why not just the third generation?" Xia Xiufa asked.

"Because the real third generation disdains to be divided with the qualified people of the 2.5 generation, and they have also divided the fourth generation in advance, so it can only be the 2.5 generation." Zero said as he looked at Xia Xiu.

"I'm Gen 2.5? I think that being able to [start a fire] and [arson] by yourself is the 2.5 generation, so the third generation is qualified..."

Speaking of this, Xia Xiu suddenly remembered Nora, who was like a fire demon, and the other party's [Aether Manifestation] ability was similar to that of the [Manifester], and this type of qualified person was generally directly referred to as a late symptom by the normal forces.

"Not only do the third generation of qualified people have the ability to [start fires] and [set fires], they also have special abilities that can change their form, which they say is what the qualified are really like."

"[The worship of the Holy Sun] also began with them, and those of us who are not qualified for the third generation can only vaguely sense the existence of a transcendent being in our consciousness, while the third generation claims that they are able to communicate directly with [the Holy Sun]."

"The Advent rites are also offered by the third generation of qualified people."

"As for the fourth generation of qualified people, they say that they will only appear after the [Holy Sun] descends."

That's what it looks like...

Xia Xiu squinted his eyes slightly, and his left index finger and thumb began to unconsciously turn the ring on his right index finger again.

The list of executions can now be drawn up in advance.

Today is another 6,000 day, and my liver can't stand it a little...

[Buddha Salted Fish Beast] shouldn't be like this, my [Two Changes, Four Thousand Words] is the active effect.

It may be because of the [holiday card] that the salted fish has the time to have liver, and everyone looks at and cherishes it, because the [holiday card] has a time limit!!!
