Terra Calendar 1590.9.10.

Phrygia, the sixth administrative province of Allah.

The capital of the province of Allah is the city of Allah, the capital and second largest city of Phrygia, located on the Anatolian plateau in central Phrygia and the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the city.

However, even as a provincial capital, there will be urban villages,

One of the more well-known urban villages in Allah is the Mamushik urban village.

It is one of the largest urban villages in Allah City, located in the Mamshik district to the east of the city center, and has a large number of informal buildings and temporary houses.

The urban villages of Mamshik were formed a little more than they do today, when large numbers of peasants and immigrants came to Allah in search of better life and work. However, due to the lack of housing and suitable living conditions, many people choose to build their own houses in these areas, and urban villages are gradually formed.

These urban villages often lack infrastructure and live in difficult conditions, but Mamshik urban villages are full of social energy, with many residents building social networks and helping each other in various ways.

Da Da Da –

In the narrow streets and alleys of the urban village, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes walks slowly.

He was dressed casually, with a loose cotton white T-shirt printed with delicate traditional Phrygian motifs on the top and a pair of loose shorts on the bottom, the color of which echoed the T-shirt to make the overall look comfortable and light, and the slightly curly ends of his blonde hair fluttered gently in the breeze. He wears a dark hat on top of his head, which complements his delicate face.

The blonde youth had light steps, made a slight noise as he walked on the stone pavement, and wore a pair of comfortable slippers on his feet.

Under the scorching summer sun, the coldly dressed blonde young man is holding a glass of chilled watermelon juice in his hand, his lips are on the straw and sucking the coolness of the summer day, his eyes are looking around, and the watch on his left hand is flashing orange light from time to time that is invisible to ordinary people.

[New quest entry: Recover [Indulgence]!] ]

[There are aliens in your area who hold [indulgences], and the local forces of the Authority are already in charge of the collection, as the [Debt Collector No. 01], you are obligated to help the angels in the area complete the recovery-]

[Mission Diary has been updated!] ]

[Honkai Deeds: Containment of Divine Organs]

[Contents: After you provided the portraits of the people involved in the [Great Mother Goddess] incident, [Adam] and Pansy Jane's intelligence officers worked tirelessly to finally decipher the dynamic traces and related information of the relevant personnel, the following are the relevant information of the two suspects{expand+}]

—————————

"What a coincidence, there happens to be a holder of [indulgences] here. After all, the "Strategic Agreement" has come into effect, and it will be more troublesome for us to do it in New York, and now they dare to stay in Youyang, they are quite bold, do they have any reliance? ”

Xia Xiu drank watermelon juice and walked aimlessly forward, while communicating with [Adam] in his mind.

The narrow streets are lined with stalls of all kinds, and a wide variety of goods glitter in the sun. The stall owners shouted their wares, attracting passers-by to stop and buy. The walls reveal signs of age, and the earth-colored façade contrasts with the modern architecture that surrounds it.

The eaves are covered with colorful clothes, and the breeze blows, bringing a faint aroma of laundry detergent.

[Adam's] reporting continues.

[According to reports, they are employees of Far East Heavy Industries, and their race is the "Oneiroi", each individual of this race is a [dreamer], they are the embodiment of themselves, immaterial consciousness - according to the [Central Containment Chamber] database, the ontology of this race is not in the main world of Terra, and their bodies operating in Terra are projections of consciousness and spirituality. ]

After hearing Far East Heavy Industries and the Oneiroi Clan, Xia Xiu's eyebrows unconsciously raised.

"No wonder you're so daring."

[Far East Heavy Industries] claims to be a private, for-profit conglomerate, mainly engaged in scientific research and development. The company focuses on the research and development of anomalous technologies for commercial and private sale, and is best known for its research project on the [Anti-Space-Based Weapons Series].

Far East Heavy Industries has contracts of varying ranks with various armies around the world, mainly the Oretin Empire, which has developed countless specialized technologies for their owners in order to strengthen their military power, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that their target enemies are the scientific and technological departments and thaumaturgical research departments of the Heavenly Kingdom.

And the Oneiroi ·····

They always reminded Xia Xiu of something that was very similar to him - "player".

The Oneiroi have many similarities to the player.

It's just that they are "players" who can be killed along the network cable.

"Who is the specific holder of [the indulgence]?" Xia Xiu then asked.

[Lisa Volyanova, who studied at the Deer Academy, joined the International Research Center for Thaumaturgy as a researcher in the Department of Divine Anatomy after graduation.]

In her third year at the institute, she went on an academic visit to the Oretin Empire, and after the academic visit, she abruptly left the research center and joined [Sargon Far East Heavy Industries] as an employee of the company's subsidiary, and has been working for Far East Heavy Industries ever since.

She has worked with the Daevite Empire's Cities That Never Sleep, Factories, and Mechanic Church to develop new types of war machines, and she has participated in the design of military engineering projects related to the [Anti-Space-based Weapon: Bow of Urrel]. Ten years ago, she was sent to a subsidiary of the Ario Alliance as a senior director, during which time she participated in the forbidden army program of [Thirteen Sections] and [Clock Tower]—]

[According to the investigation of the Phrygian Regional Administration, she is currently engaged in military transactions with the local anomalous organization [Morph Hunter Club] in the Phrygian region, the following is the information about [Morph Hunter Club]-]

[Organization: Morph Hunters Club]

[Status: Active]

[Description: The Morph Hunters Club is ostensibly a well-known association that brings together a number of prominent and wealthy individuals seeking pleasure in the hunt for anomalous lifeforms with unique and/or dangerous traits, as well as deep-rooted ties to local bureaucrats and plutocrats (the Phrygian government has been trying to develop an official thaumaturgical organization similar to the Four Great Powers. )

Type: Semi-official and semi-civil.

Organizational Form: The guild is similar to a regular guild, consisting of elders and guild members, and pursues meritocracy.

Attitude and Relationship with the Kingdom of Heaven: Neutrality. (The Kingdom of Heaven has worked with the club on a number of anomalous objects, and despite the disagreement, the club has not expressed any apparent hostility towards the Kingdom, which is also a statement by the Phrygian government.) ）]

Hearing this, Xia Xiu understood the nature of the club, although Phrygia is located at the junction of the Central Alliance and the Sixteen Kingdoms of Oaxaca, it is not a member of the Central League, so their internal extraordinary structure and political environment will be relatively complicated.

"What is their collaborative project?" Xia Xiu took the last sip of the watermelon juice in his hand, casually threw him in the trash, and continued to ask [Adam] in his head.

[Arms deal agreement for the weapon of war [Black Knight V], and,Divine anatomy seminar-]

"That's interesting, divine anatomy and anomalous weaponization, tsk, how much trouble they've got, whether it's [Central Containment] or these corporate organizations..." The blonde youth smashed his mouth and said with a look of disgust.

At the same time as complaining, Xia Xiu had already come to a remote house, which was sandwiched between two residential houses, and several bricks and tiles on the walls had fallen off, looking bare, and the sunlight was covered by the surrounding buildings, which made it look very cold and damp.

The watch on the left wrist of the blonde youth began to glow orange.

[You have reached the last residential area where Shaw Eli stayed-]

Xia Xiu slowly stood under the cold and damp building, and the Shaw Eli mentioned by [Adam] was the man who was crawling in front of the black-robed woman like an animal in his earlier retrospective picture.

Shaw Eli's life can be summed up as an investor, who lost all his savings in a financial bubble.

Shaw Eli is an ordinary office worker who has always been interested in real estate investment as a stable and profitable way to invest. The year before, he heard that under the leadership of the Addison Federation, real estate prices in various countries had risen rapidly, banks and other financial institutions had relaxed lending standards, and many unqualified home buyers could get home loans.

This relaxed credit environment has further pushed up house prices, and many people are rushing into the real estate market, which is expecting high returns, and the real estate market, which is fast growing and house prices are soaring, he sees an investment opportunity where others can make money by taking out loans and investments, and he thinks he can do it.

So Shaw Eli decided to borrow money to buy an apartment in a prosperous area, believing that the price of the house would continue to rise and he could make a lot of money on the difference.

In order to buy a house, he put all his savings and borrowing into it.

At first, the property market was indeed growing, and Shaw Eli felt he had made a wise decision. However, it wasn't long before the market fluctuated, and the Great Depression came suddenly.

House prices are starting to fall.

Shaw Eli is starting to worry that he had planned to sell his property in the next few years to get the difference, but now the drop in house prices means he may not be able to realise the expected gains.

As time went on, the real estate market continued to decline, and the value of Shaw Eli's property became lower and lower. He was mired in huge debts, unable to repay his loans, and under high pressure to pay interest.

Eventually, Shaw Eli had to sell the property for well below the purchase price, but was still unable to fully repay the debt. He lost all his savings and even owed a huge debt.

This left him in financial distress and forced him to spend everything he had to pay off his debts.

And he had to move to a remote corner of the urban village where he only needed 400 lira a day (Phrygian currency: 1 central currency equals 15.30 lira).

That's the real-life version of me doing it.

At this moment, the blonde youth was standing in the last place where Shaw Eli was breathing.

"The high wall blocks the flow of the frontal aura, resulting in an unsmooth aura inside the room; There are protruding objects on the building, such as vignetting, protruding bricks; Above the building is a transverse structure, suppressing and hindering the aura, and there are sixteen towering sharp objects nearby······"

The blonde youth stretched out his right hand and raised the dark hat above his head, squinting slightly to look around.

"It's so typical that it can't be more typical of cult thaumaturgical architecture, I thought that this standard form of cult architecture could only appear in academic journals and books, but I didn't expect it to be seen in reality. Sandwiched between two lines, symbolic embodiment, and distorted reality aura, this is a proper distorted cult, I remember that this kind of distorted entity raised by architecture is called - [Evil of Cutting Waist]. ”

"Their favorite thing is to cut off the waist of a creature, whether it is a human or other animal, no wonder they have never seen stray cats and dogs, not even a mouse, this ghost place can still be rented out to people."

"This lock is still old-fashioned, well, I haven't tried the old craft for a while, and I can just get over it."

Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and turned into two wires through [Private Customization] casually, starting his nostalgic journey.

And just as the blonde youth was muttering to himself, a strange bright red figure crawled out of the shadow of the building behind the young man, it was a monster wearing a black and red battle armor, the cloak on the battle armor was embellished with blood-red symbols, and the black-red helmet was a pair of red eyes, his gaze revealed ruthless killing intent and bloodlust.

Holding a huge Soul Breaker Blade with a red glow on it, he crawled out of the shadows, holding the blade in his hand and staring at the blond youth's waist.

The monster's ten fingers clasped tightly on the hilt, and with greed and ferocity, he swung his blade at his prey.

Qiang –

The broken blade fell to the ground with a 360-degree rotation, and the bloody eyes under the monster's black-red helmet looked at this scene slightly sluggishly, and in front of him, a purple-gold phantom slowly withdrew the right hand he swung out, and the right hand of the purple-gold phantom's fist exuded ripples of distorted space.

There was a low humming sound on the ripples of space.

"Everything, Vector Authoritarian—"

"Vector cutting!"

Out of instinct, the black-red monster with a not very bright brain screamed in awe of [Sisyphus] in front of him, trying to intimidate the prey as usual, he didn't notice that the spatial ripples on [Sisyphus's] right fist were beginning to attach a layer of irresistible power, and the kinetic energy around him began to travel in the same direction.

"Hiss~hiss..."

"Everything, Vector Authoritarian—"

"Gravitational Traction!"

Phew-

The black-red monster only felt an irresistible gravitational pull pulling in front of him, and his entire body turned into an afterimage and flew towards Sisyphus's raised right fist.

Bang!!!!

"Vector Manipulation: Normalize!"

The huge fist touched the monster's hard helmet, and then, with a "bang", the monster's entire head was directly blasted into ashes.

Boom –

There was a huge roar in the alley, and huge waves of air surged in all directions.

Everything happened in an instant, after blasting the monster into slag, [Sisyphus] hid in Xia Xiu's body, and he continued to pick the lock of the door in front of him without looking back.

He didn't even look back at the dust that had disappeared with the wind behind him.
