Yang Jia always had a bad premonition.

Especially after seeing Xiao Huan's gloomy face after communicating with Night City and Lin Bo secretly laughing, but she also carefully considered this matter, but found that she couldn't stop anything, after all, the fourth element that Xiao Huan needed was indeed in Night City, and after communicating with Mr. Ye, even if she was a little worried, she didn't plan to stop anything.

The elder may have hidden something in some places, and Xiao Huan also had some things that he didn't expect.

However, Noah's plan needs to be tried to complete from any point of view, and the desire to take everyone away is not wrong.

Therefore, when she saw that Xiao Huan had already begun to think about how to get to Nightfall City, she only put forward three conditions:

First, try not to use force to solve the problem.

Second, if you want to solve the problem by force, don't kill people.

Third, if you get a human life, don't destroy the entire Nightfall City.

At first glance, when he heard these three suggestions put forward by Yang Jia, Lin Bo seemed a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, especially when he thought of Xiao Huan's expressionless face at that time, he detonated the bomb and killed hundreds of members of the Hell Organization, and he thought so.

I just want to teach Nightbase City a lesson, and I don't want to destroy it......

Now Xiao Huan is the new president of Black Gate City, although he positions himself as a puppet, but at least Mr. Ye and Yang Jia, two people who are qualified to pull the line behind the puppet, have given Xiao Huan great respect in many places, so at this time, Yang Jia expressed his approval, and Mr. Ye will never interfere with Xiao Huan's decision inexplicably, so the business trip is decided.

Even Mr. Ye set up a file on this matter without Xiao Huan's knowledge and kept it.

[Event Definition: Friendly exchange between Blackgate City and the Strangers of the Same City Night End City]

[Purpose of communication: Obtain A-class special items without extinguishing the heart]

[Hazard Level: A (for the other party)]

[Participants: Xiao Huan (President), Xiao Si (Secretary to the President), Lin Bo and his subordinates (supernumerary support)]

【……】

The selection of personnel for this business trip is the result of Xiao Huan's discussion with Yang Jia and Mr. Ye.

For today's Black Gate City, after winning the confrontation with the Hell Organization, it is actually a very important period of development, the defeat of the Hell Organization this time has made Black Gate City gain a lot of resources and a very stable environment, and new people will also appear in large numbers, and the strangers of Black Gate City need to find and guide these new people, so that they can become the fresh blood of strangers.

Therefore, several knights in Blackgate City, as well as the soft, are not allowed to be idle.

Now that the soft has nominally become a real strengthening mentor, and is about to have its own people, the Great Snake sisters and the old Zhou at the bottom of the bridge also need to cultivate more newcomers to create a good foundation and conditions for the further development of Black Gate City.

As for Yang Jia, she needs to stay in Heimen City and provide a force guarantee for the smooth development of Heimen City.

Of course, she didn't think so at first, and she was going to pack up her things and go on this business trip with Xiao Huan.

However, Mr. Ye talked to her once, and she was persuaded to stay in Black Gate City.

Xiao Huan didn't know what the two of them muttered again, when Yang Jia first returned to Black Gate City, she had a very good relationship with Mr. Ye, until she was pit by Mr. Ye once, so angry that she didn't even want to answer his phone, but after this Hell Organization invasion, the relationship between the two seemed to be repaired again, and many times, she could be seen talking on the phone with Mr. Ye solemnly throughout the day, chatting a lot.

Mr. Ye's words need to carry out some necessary investigation and preparation for the Noah plan of the elder.

Of course, to some extent, these investigations are duplicates of Xiao Huan's investigations.

But at this moment, everyone tacitly understands and investigates separately for the time being, and whether there is a need to exchange information afterwards depends on the specific situation.

After all, Mr. Ye also understands that when Xiao Huan comes back, it will probably be the time when Noah's plan is officially promoted.

Because of this, the people who went on a business trip only set Xiao Huan and Xiaosi.

There are only these two people who go to Night Bottom City, which is very unfriendly to outsiders, and it seems that Leng Buding seems to be a little little, but even in the exchange between Yang Jia and Soft, he can't help but say: "Obviously, our waiter is only a three-stage reinforcement, or it seems that the insight route that lacks confrontation ability, but why, in this exchange, what we are worried about is Night Bottom City?" ”

As for Xiao Huan, before going on a business trip, he also made several preparations.

The first preparation is to arrange the daily operation and security of the bar under his control.

After learning about his specialness, Xiao Huan had to consider that he couldn't care so much about money in the future.

In case things prove that you are also an aborigine, then when you return to life, you need a source of income.

This matter is not difficult, firstly, the bar is backed by a big force like the Pink Girls Gang, and secondly, he now has his own direct butler, the underground boss who would rather wear a pink girl's costume in order to follow him, can help him run the bar.

The other thing is your own special items.

Special items are actually one of the enhanced elements within the city, but they are more specific.

But depending on the carrier, the strengthening elements can be divided into three categories:

One is the intangible element, such as the violent factor, the eye of insight, and so on.

This kind of element often only needs to be parasitic on strangers, and they can use it whenever they want according to their own minds.

The second is that it is parasitic on some special object.

It's like Xiao Si's belt, the soft whip, and Xiao Huan's bloodthirsty pistol.

This kind of element can be carried with you at any time, and it is also more convenient to take it out when you want to use it.

But the third category is a little special, he is a living creature from the perspective of the city.

And it is this third category that has the most noise.

Just like the three dogs of thorns and the messengers of hell, from the perspective of strangers, they are also alive, although they are absolutely centered on the owner, but they also have their own will, Xiao Huan is in Heimen City, and he can summon them to his side at any time, but if he leaves Heimen City, in case of problems, Xiao Huan is not sure if they can appear in front of him in time.

Xiao Huan talked to Yang Jia about this and made sure that no one else had encountered this kind of problem.

I have slightly confirmed something in my heart:

"Maybe that's the evidence that something special about the summoning type is essentially a fantasy creature?"

"Only things that exist in one's own spiritual world will ignore the spatial distance and summon them to them anytime and anywhere!"

“……”

Of course, this is only a temporary guess, and you will only know if you try it yourself.

Of course, the most special thing is the record player lady.

For this mysterious thing, Xiao Huan is sure that she is not simple, and it may even have something to do with her past.

And she belongs to a more special thing, after all, its body is on the second floor of his neighbor's house, Xiao Huan can't enter someone's house, take this record player with him to Night City, and it seems that he can't summon him like a dog of thorns or a butcher, so Xiao Huan is also very helpless about it, and can only think that after arriving in Night City, try it and see what the result is.

There must always be a sentence to explain, so after thinking about it, he could only silently give her an order: "Work hard." ”

"When I return, I want to see that you've completed your strengthening."

“……”

“……”

"President Xiao, we are all old friends with more than 100,000 points, this time to help you find the fourth element, we are also obliged to help, and when we get to Night End City, we will generously share all the information and Dante's connections with you......"

Before leaving, Lin Bo found Xiao Huan seriously: "So, the travel and accommodation expenses for this trip are packages, right?" ”

We are preparing the mystical elements related to the fourth phase of the Insight.

We're ready to negotiate a breakdown with a city stranger or even settle it in the end......

…… And now you're coming to talk to me about room and board?

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged for Xiao Si......"

In desperation, Xiao Huan can also agree.

Xiao Si is his personal assistant, so it's reasonable to leave this kind of booking and paying for tickets to him, right?

However, Xiao Huan is really a little curious about the style of this Dante organization, it is obviously such a large organization, why can it be so scarce to this extent? The Hell Organization is much more generous than them...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of that bet, everything was because of Lin Bo, if he wasn't so poor, he really earned hundreds of thousands of points.

I probably don't have to run to Nightbase City to find it in person because other people's lions are opening their mouths.

Of course, although his face was relaxed, after all, it was his first business trip, and Xiao Huan was also very curious.

He had seen the aborigines after leaving the city, thrown into a large piece of flesh and blood wrapped in light rail, and went to another city in a deep sleep, and he was actually very curious in his heart, as a foreigner, would he also enter the flesh and blood like them?

"Traveling between cities is a very dangerous thing."

When Lin Bo asked this question, he showed a kind of pride and confidence in his own ideas: "Because for strangers, the city is the closest place to their mysterious source, and it is also the most secure place, while outside the city, there is a vast and endless sea of fog, with all kinds of grotesque and distorted things, as well as mysterious sources of unknown levels......"

"If the city is our god, then outside the city, there are a lot of evil gods and unknown spaces."

"For strangers, we have to be careful with every step, like walking on thin ice, and if we are not careful, we will ......"

“…… It is possible to get lost. ”

“……”

When Xiao Huan heard him say this, he also became serious: "Then what are we going to do?" ”

Lin Bo said with a serious face: "Obey the traffic rules." ”

“？”

Xiao Huan's eyes at this moment seemed to be looking at a fool.

But Lin Bo was unusually serious, and said: "What I said is true, the exchanges between the aborigines between cities are like a kind of material exchange, following strict laws and balances, we strangers travel between cities, and do not belong to this kind of material exchange, but we follow the principle of this material exchange, and we will also let us try to avoid getting lost and protect ourselves during the journey." ”

Xiao Huan had no choice but to agree.

Soon, Xiao Si went to book six high train tickets to Night End City, all of which were hard seats.

Originally, Xiao Huan planned whether to change a soft seat by himself, but after listening to Lin Bo's advice, he also decided to be more careful, so he didn't plan to be separated from them, so he could only sit in the narrow and cramped light rail with these poor ghosts.

Things are going well and everything is in place.

The day before leaving, Xiao Huan had a meal with his mother and said that he was going on a business trip.

Now my mother knows that Xiao Huan has changed jobs, and once felt shocked that Xiao Huan who works in a bar can make so much money, and even asked Xiao Huan a little seriously several times if he has done any work such as accompanying wine, and persuaded Xiao Huan bitterly: "People can have no money, but they can't be spineless, and we don't do that kind of work......

Xiao Huan explained several times, but his mother never listened, so the day before leaving, Xiao Huan simply confessed:

"I'm not a male publicist or anything like that."

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm starting to mess around now......"

“……”

When my mother heard this, she was shocked for a while, but after thinking about it, she breathed a long sigh of relief:

"It's okay, it's a lot more decent......

“……”

“……”

The next day, Xiao Huan carried his packed backpack and walked out of the house on time.

As soon as he arrived on the street, he called Xiao Si who was already driving a van that he picked up out of nowhere, waiting for him, Lin Bo and his three subordinates, along with a few large packages, were crowded in the back seat, and the co-pilot was still reserved for Xiao Huan.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Huan sighed and gave the order.

Soon the car passed through the city and came to the front of the light rail station, and Xiao Si casually found a place to park the van, and the door was not locked.

Xiao Huan was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being stolen?" ”

"What's that?"

Xiao Si glanced at Xiao Huan curiously, and said, "I also stole it......"

“……”

"It's also thanks to the will of the city that it doesn't seem to care much about theft crimes, and there are few points deducted......"

Xiao Huan thought that he would give Xiaosi a moral education lesson after he came back, and entered the station together.

Several people sat in the same carriage, and next to each other, after sitting down, Xiao Huan has been looking at the aborigines around, they don't know anything, carrying luggage into the carriage, crowded and sitting, some people say talking and laughing, some people lean their heads against the window to prepare for sleep, and the workers on the platform are also very careful to check the surrounding state, until the sharp whistle sounded a few times.

The vehicle began to start slowly, gradually approaching the edge of the city.

Xiao Huan did not miss the opportunity to observe the city from this angle, he stared at everything with wide eyes, watching as the scenery outside the car window quickly pushed towards the outside of the city, all the real things around him were also rapidly becoming thin, from the real city streets, gradually becoming half flesh and blood, while the real buildings, and then out of the city, suddenly there was a blood red.

The real city, completely gone.

Xiao Huan saw that the train he was riding instantly drove into a large area of viscous, twisted, intertwined with thick blood vessels and nerve tissue, looking at everything outside the window, it turned dark red, filled with a vast mist, and even the earth no longer existed, only the strange bones wriggling in the distance, and the huge heart that existed in the abyss, kept beating.

As if the air had been suddenly withdrawn, he felt unusually suffocated, and the silence around him seemed to be completely dead.

Looking around, I saw that all the aborigines had fallen into a deep sleep at this time, no, not just sleeping, but more like death, or rather, shutting down, a living person, suddenly ceased all mental and physical activity.

He just leaned back in his chair and didn't move.

Through the eyes of the insight, Xiao Huan observed the entire train and found that even the driver in front of him and the service staff on the car had stopped all activities and sat quietly somewhere as if they were turned off, but perhaps, it was not all the same, because Xiao Huan saw the corners of their mouths and could feel that they had a slightly different mood, or happy, or yearning.

"Is it because in their dreams, they are going through a journey with different moods?"

Xiao Huan thought silently, and turned his head to look at Lin Bo in the back seat: "During the whole journey, they will be like this?" ”

"Yes."

Lin Bo smiled bitterly: "They are much more comfortable than us, no matter what they find, there will be someone to take care of them on this flesh and blood train, even if they need to transfer, or need to make a temporary stop, they don't need to wake up, in their respective dreams, there will be a variety of different travel details, and the interesting thing is that at the end, these details can even be compared." ”

"But we're different, we can only tense our nerves the whole time."

"We have to keep an eye out for any changes in the train, to make sure that we are not affected by unknown dangers, to ensure that we are not left behind."

"So, the journey is the most painful, and it is too dangerous for us!"

“……”

Xiao Huan wrote it down and slowly turned around.

Looking at the dead silence of the carriages around them, and the occasional flashing red lights, looking at the aborigines with different expressions and falling into a state of shutdown.

Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and the eye of the discerning slowly emerged from his body.

One, two, three......

It was faint and quiet, floating in this dead and silent carriage.

Xiao Huan thought hard, and the eyes of the insightful began to overlap each other, and tried to see what clearly.

He once succeeded once against the Hell Order.

And this time, he tried hard, and after many minor adjustments, in the vision of the three eyes of the eye, everything around him began to change layer by layer, he saw the huge mountain of strange flesh in the distance outside the car window, saw the dark starry sky and the dark red mist, and saw the rhythmic wriggling of this huge flesh and blood.

But it wasn't until he used his ability to perceive it to the extreme, and his eyes were open-minded.

Xiao Huan woke up violently and looked around.

The sun was shining, clean and tidy, he saw the passengers around him, sitting neatly in the carriage, someone whispering and laughing with a child, someone bowing his head and swiping his mobile phone, someone called beer and roast chicken from the dining car, and was about to start a drink with friends.

"Are you alright, sir?"

The female flight attendant who was passing by seemed to be startled by Xiao Huan's sudden awakening, and asked politely.

"It's okay......"

Xiao Huan shook his head slowly, looked out of the car window, but only saw the continuous peaks and fields in the distance, the occasional village is located in a piece, from a distance, it looks like a regular square, he saw that the clouds in the air seem to be shadowing the advance of the train, slowly changing shape, and seeing the intertwined highway outside, from time to time passing a car, happily driving into the distance.

"I just think the scenery is pretty good......"

“……”

Xiao Huan struggled to control himself, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Si beside him, and also saw Lin Bo in the seat behind him, as well as several of his members.

They all closed their eyes tightly and fell asleep at some point.

It's just that even in their sleep, they still purse the corners of their mouths, their brows are furrowed, and their palms are hugged.

As if in a strange dream, I was always nervous and vigilant.
