Chapter 217: The First Step into the Fog (5,500 words)
"Yes, it's that simple."
On the train, Xiao Huan still didn't know anything, and honestly told Lin Bo and the others: "Everything I did in Nightfall City was based on the in-depth research and calculation of the theory of the aboriginal perspective by the old president of our Black Gate City, and I personally only made a little insignificant attempt and verification on the basis of his theory, but it is obvious that this attempt is very effective." ”
"The Outlander organization in Nightfall felt the pressure, so they finally agreed to make a deal with me."
"You see, the transaction was very pleasant, and we were all satisfied, although he said I was no longer welcome to come......"
“……”
Lin Bo and the others were busy recording and listening, their expressions were a little dumbfounded: "It's that simple? ”
Xiao Huan said calmly: "Of course." ”
"We've been in Nightfall for so long, how complicated can it be?"
“……”
“…… Reasonable! ”
Lin Bo tilted his head and thought about it, and sighed: "Things are going much smoother than we imagined. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we all had a good harvest, and we didn't cause any big trouble......"
“……”
The dozing Xiao Si next to him glanced at them with disdain, thinking that these talents will make more money, and they will have a bumper harvest?
Xiao Huan was also curious when he heard it, and said, "Then what did you think at first?" ”
"What I thought at the beginning was much more exciting than that......"
Lin Bo suddenly became interested and said, "In the original plan, as soon as we came over, it was estimated that we would be troubled by Night End City, right?" This group of people is notoriously stingy and slamming, and then I guess that you will definitely have a little conflict, after all, neither of you is the one who suffers, after the conflict, it will be my turn, I will mediate with you as Dante's organization. ”
Xiao Huan saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he also became a little interested: "How to mediate?" ”
Lin Bo smiled: "Then it depends on who of you takes advantage of this small conflict, if you take advantage of the conflict, then I will favor you and go with you to take advantage of Night End City, so that not only will I help you, but also take the revenge we suffered before." ”
"If Nightfall City takes advantage, then I will mediate with them."
"Not only can you make a name for yourself in your search for the Fourth Element, but you can also hold our vengeance in Blackgate......"
“……”
Xiao Huan was stunned when he heard this, this plan was really shameless and frank.
The key is that I thought about it along his lines, how did I feel so reasonable?
If he hadn't read too much of the information left by the elder before leaving, and saw the perspective of the aborigines, maybe things would have gone as he wanted, and even said that it was even more serious than he expected, and he suffered a loss, and he couldn't get his heart back......
All I can say is......
Xiao Huan sighed and said, "Thanks to the information left by the old president. ”
In any case, the little secret on his body still has to be kept, so in the face of Lin Bo's speculation, he has an explanation:
The elder is too good.
Because the elder will be a cow critic, so things are so smooth for himself.
Anyway, he's dead, and he can't run out again and explain that he's not that bullish.
"Indeed."
Lin Bo listened, and also sighed deeply: "You old president of Black Gate City, I have heard of his name before, there is no simple person in these cities who have mixed with the status of the president, but I know that he is powerful, or because he actually cultivated such a powerful character as Yang Jia, but now I look at it, this person is really academic, and he also has a few brushes." ”
Xiao Hao smiled and said to Lin Bo, "Can you make a difference?" ”
"Absolutely."
Lin Bo took out the things he had just recorded at hand and said, "These things you did in Nightfall City can be regarded as a very important piece of experimental data, and the Dante Organization has always attached importance to these theoretical things, and they even exceed the reinforcement elements. ”
Xiao Huan nodded.
When Lin Bo takes these things, Dante's organization will be handed over, and the reputation will most likely be that of the elder.
It's just that, strictly speaking, what he told them is indeed the set of theories left by the elder, but through his experience from the perspective of the aborigines, he has made some modifications to some key data of these theories, and his own identity is a little special, although he doesn't know what this represents, but from now on, he has been prepared in advance.
"No problem, far better than we imagined."
The team members under Lin Bo were a little excited when they heard this, and said: "In addition, in order to make our data important, when we report, it can be said that in the process of obtaining this data, we were seriously troubled by Black Gate City and Night End City, all of which we endured humiliation, acted at the opportunity, and paid a lot of physical and integral costs to get the ......."
Lin Bo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but pat his thigh: "Yes......"
"Anyway, Nightfall City is notoriously stingy, and the reputation of the Black Gate Society is also very bad......"
"In this way, if we take this report back, it cannot be regarded as atonement for our sins, but a proper meritorious service!"
“……”
Xiao Huan looked at their excited appearance, and was happy for them in his heart.
I just felt a little awkward in my heart: "You said in front of me, the president, that our Black Gate City has a bad reputation......"
“…… Isn't it good? ”
“……”
Lin Bo narrowed his eyes: "Don't interfere with our work. ”
Does this person not understand how the reputation of the city of Blackgate has become bad?
Xiao Huan: "......"
I always feel that Lin Bo is shameless and real.
I just got the points and reports that I transferred, so I wasn't so polite to myself......
"What is this?"
Just as they were discussing and putting away the contents of the record, the man in the plaid shirt under Lin Bo's hand was suddenly a little surprised:
"That's too much, isn't it?"
“……”
The people around him were a little surprised at the same time and looked at him: "What's wrong?" ”
"The people of Nightfall are just too much......"
The plaid shirt man turned his tablet over and said, "Look at what they said, just now this guy whose ID is called Night Ghost is breaking the news on the Internet: which Wang Ba Calf told the big pervert in Black Gate City that we have what he needs here, and that guy killed him directly empty-handed, and he didn't want to give a point, so he wanted to get an empty glove white wolf from our Night Bottom City......"
"Who is he?"
"He's a big monster who killed hundreds of people in the Hell Organization without blinking an eye!"
"He is an old pervert who turned Black Gate City into a forbidden area of hell with the power of one person......"
"Where is his opponent in our Night Bottom City, that guy directly pushed the chainsaw in our faces and forced us to negotiate terms, not only did he take away a precious A-grade collection without spending a penny, but he even extorted us 300,000 points...... It's not that our people in Nightfall City have not resisted, but our perfect line of defense has been torn apart by his expressionless face, and even the city to which we are loyal ......"
“…… The city was beaten to tears by him! ”
"Is there still a heavenly reason? Where is the king of strangers? ”
“……”
"Huh?"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Huan saw all the content of the post in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised:
"How did you tell the story of the will of the city?"
“…… No, the girl didn't cry, but gloated a little......"
"The others are even more outrageous, aren't they?"
“…… I obviously only extorted 30,000 points! ”
“……”
Lin Bo and the others looked at this post, and they also felt a little dumbfounded: "Didn't you buy it for points?" ”
"yes!"
Xiao shouted: "I haven't even seen their will to the city!" ”
"Why do you say this with a bit of a weak heart?"
Lin Bo and the others were stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "There is no need to explain this, every city is a living entity, but this living form is at a high-dimensional level, even the president of his own city, it is not easy to see the will of the city manifest, let alone an outsider, it is estimated that this is an exaggerated statement, no one will believe it, but what they say is ......."
Xiao Huan said firmly: "The others are also fake, slanderous." ”
"That's right."
The plaid shirt man also nodded: "More than 90% of the things on the forum are not credible, and everyone is used to it." ”
"You see, there are people down there to refute him now......"
“……”
Sure enough, Xiao Huan swiped down his mouse, glanced at it, and saw that a hidden account had already replied below: "Speaking of this President Xiao, there should be no one who knows him better than me, I think the people in Night City are obviously talking nonsense, this President Xiao is just a person who likes dancing and dogs, and the most excessive thing is to skin the living......"
"Dancing When You Kill......"
"Seems to be in a better mood when you're alone with the dead......"
"In many ways, he shows the same temperament and hobbies as the Hell Order......
“……”
“……”
"These words don't sound like a refutation......"
Xiao Huan looked at his eyes and was a little confused: "Why is this ID deliberately hidden?" ”
The mood is somewhat chaotic.
Since Yang Jia gave him this forum, he hasn't seen any good words on it, it stands to reason that his reputation has been tarnished so badly, he should go up and explain, or directly turn around and go back to Night City to ask what's going on, but when he thinks of the few questions in front of him now, Xiao Huan feels that these things are not important, so he still focuses on the overall situation.
First, I have obtained the unquenchable heart, which also means that the investigation of the Black Forest should begin.
What did this famous and seemingly influential company do to them in the first place, and what are they doing now, and what impact does the pioneer project that was involved without their knowledge still have?
Second, should the Elder's Noah plan really be promoted?
This old president, who is indeed remarkable, is a foreigner, but he has done a lot of research on the theories of the aborigines.
And now, judging from my own verification, most of these studies are actually true......
But it's only half true.
After all, the old president is a stranger, and many places have his own limitations, can the plan he left behind really succeed?
But if you don't implement this plan, how will Mr. Ye and Yang Jia explain?
These two people teamed up to push themselves to the position of the elder of Black Gate City, and they also concealed and guarded against each other, but it was obvious that the two of them were unified in their attitude towards the elder, and they had been waiting for this plan for a long time, right?
And finally, the most critical ......
…… Mysterious Path.
…… What role does it play in this, and what does it have to do with Miss Record Player?
……
Mystery!
All of this was like a huge fog that shrouded the sky above the Black Gate City.
How to see through the truth in this fog?
The answer is actually quite simple, just walk in.
Now, I have the qualifications to step into this fog and start unraveling it all.
If you don't quench your heart, it's in your own hands.
According to Dante's organization's calculations, as long as you get this thing, you can step into the fourth stage of the Insight Cultivator's strengthening.
And in the third stage of the Insight Person, he has already seen a lot of things that other strangers are not capable of seeing, so what kind of answers will he see in the fourth stage, which is already strong enough to offend the city?
"It's time to ......"
While Xiao Huan was thinking about these things, Lin Bo and the others put away the report and closed the forum page.
They knew there was something more important and avoided it.
Only Lin Bo looked at Xiao Huan and reminded him: "In about an hour, I will return to Heimen City, and I can't wait any longer." ”
"You mean not to extinguish the heart?"
Xiao Huan looked into his eyes and asked softly.
"Yes!"
Lin Bo said: "I told you before that Black Gate City will not like you to seek the fourth element, because it means that your ability will exceed her bounds, and you will have the power to counter her influence and get a glimpse of some secrets that she doesn't want you to know, but you have already made a decision to successfully go to Nightfall City and bring this key thing back......"
"Well, then, you'd better complete the reinforcement before you return to Blackgate."
"Otherwise, the will of the city of Black Gate City will not guarantee that it will do anything to this heart when you enter the city."
“……”
“……”
"It's all going so fast......"
Xiao Huan sighed silently, since he walked out of the bedroom, many things have developed too fast.
It's so fast that you don't give yourself time to prepare.
But fortunately, I have the ability to explode my mind and can slow down the time to think about it all.
What about fast?
What about offending the city?
Four years ago, I struggled in pain in the bedroom, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and couldn't live like an ordinary person, I was fighting against the huge fantasy and unknown whispers every day, like an ant desperately digging and digging in the mountains pressed on my head, just to find an escape channel for myself, but who would have thought that after coming out, it would be another bedroom?
A series of thoughts seems to be a long time, but in reality, only a short time has passed.
The answer is ridiculous.
Xiao Huan suddenly felt ridiculous, and he had always wanted to get rid of this unknown and mysterious torture.
Now that I have the opportunity to start officially stepping into the mystery, I am hesitating?
Hesitate!
He suddenly looked up at the carriage, there were many people in the carriage now, from the perspective of the strangers, they were all asleep now, from the perspective of the aborigines, they were awake, and according to the theory left by the elder, the reason why the strangers were seen sleeping in most cases after leaving the city was because the strangers were moving away from the power of their own city......
The space outside the city is not ruled by any city, but by borders and intertwined zones.
Therefore, the maternal power that affects the stranger at all times will also shrink its influence, and simply make the stranger invisible.
However, these are not what Xiao Huan wants to study.
He just groaned slightly, and called out a name in his mind: "Miss Jukebox!" ”
Soon, if there was a sudden electromagnetic hoarse and melodic sound, echoing in the minds of everyone in the carriage, when he was in Night Bottom City, probably because the distance was too far, Xiao Huan could not summon the power of Miss Record Player, even against the armed forces of Night Bottom City, but now that it is close to Black Gate City, the power of Miss Record Player is back in Xiao Huan's control at this time.
The melody sounded, and the aborigines in the carriage began to be affected, and their eyes became confused, and they got up and walked out of the carriage.
In Lin Bo's eyes, Xiao Huan looked at it with a glance, the dense flesh and blood in this carriage, and the aborigines sleeping in the flesh and blood, actually melted at the same time, and then little by little, he withdrew from this carriage, leaving an empty area.
It's like, Xiao Huan's eyes are cast, and all the power of will takes the initiative to retreat.
Leaving Xiao Huan a clean space.
After Xiao Huan finished doing this, he slowly opened the gift box and looked at the beating heart inside.
The palm of his hand slowly fell over his heart, and he said in a strange tone:
"Strengthened...... Don't quench the heart! ”
“……”
In an instant, Xiao Huan's palm felt an unusually burning heat.
The expression of this heart, the flame that never goes out, exploded at once, filling the entire carriage.
Even Lin Bo, who deliberately stayed in the carriage to avoid problems in the process of Xiao Huan's strengthening, was also startled by this flame, he felt a kind of spiritual burn, his body jumped up violently, and instantly retreated to the edge of the carriage, raising his hand to block his eyes.
"Plop" "Plop"
Immediately after, he and Xiao Huan both heard the sound of the violently beating heart.
At the same time, what they didn't know was that at the same time that Xiao Huan shouted that sentence, at this time, Heimen City, which had been coexisting with the aborigines and strangers in Heimen City, but no one could glimpse something, seemed to be withdrawn from the city at this time, and in a world with real civilians, like a rapidly spreading shadow, quickly greeted this train......
If it is accurately described, it is that the soul of the Black Gate City is partially separated from the body to meet the train.
Everywhere the shadow passed, all thoughts were shut down, even some of the weaker mysterious sources in the sea of mist, they wandered, looking for their host, but the moment the shadow approached, they stopped thinking and robbing.
Until this shadow quickly enveloped the train, so everything in the train also stopped moving.
Including Xiao Huan and Lin Bo.
It was as if time had been pulled away, and everything had become blurred, except for Xiao Huan and the heart that had been placed on his lap.
The flame above the heart, beating quietly.
Xiao Huan's handsome face also looked pale and fragile under the reflection of this flame.
And this shadow surging from Black Gate City vaguely turned into a vague humanoid appearance, she slowly leaned down, ripped off the clothes on Xiao Huan's chest, and then slowly, cut open his chest, and took out something strange in his chest, which was obviously different from the real heart, without hesitation, and even with a little disgust, directly crushed this thing.
Then, she slowly put the heart in the box into Xiao Huan's chest.
That heart seems to be so compatible with Xiao Huan.
"The thing has been returned to its original owner......
She looked at her work as if she were admiring a beautiful work of art.
Then, she melted back into a blurry black shadow, and little by little she pulled away from the train and returned to the Black Gate City ahead of schedule.
……
……
"Done?"
No one can peek into the field, there are curious voices asking.
"Hmm."
The helpless voice replied: "He is even wary of me, but he doesn't know ......"
"Only I can put this heart on it for him......"
