Chapter 31: Crazy Thoughts
Orange and red lanterns hang and carp-shaped self-discipline units swim over the night market, playing celebratory music, and because of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, a large number of tourists gather in the business district, and the shops along the street are even more crowded.
"This is for Tilan."
Irene squeezed out of the crowd, holding two rock sugar gourds she had just bought, and handed one of them to the girl.
"Thank you, Irene."
Tilan, who was standing at the door of the store and waiting, took it, if it weren't for Irene's insistence, she wouldn't have thought of squeezing in to buy it in the face of such a crowded store.
Watching Ti Lan take the rock sugar gourd and take a small bite in the palm of her hand, Yilin couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and felt very cute.
Ti Lan is still the same as in the past, she obviously likes to eat very much, but she is very afraid of trouble, if she wants to eat snacks very troublesomely, she often won't eat them.
In the past, when I was in elementary school, teachers often used delicious ice cream to tempt them to do activities to complete tasks, and Tilan was like this, if it was simple, she would try it, but it was too troublesome to hide.
Walking on the street, the two held hands, eating rock sugar gourds, talking about the airships and swimming fish lanterns flying overhead, and then commented on the new things they encountered after coming to the central star field.
The crisp and hard sugar shell is bitten off, and then there is the red hawthorn inside, the hawthorn is very sour, and you can't stand it if you can't eat a few alone, but with the sweetness of the sugar, it becomes sweet and sour, and the taste is constantly changing, which is very delicious.
"There are a lot of powerful people in the Central Star Field, in my class, everyone is Sequence 4, and if you change to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, you can reach Sequence 4 when you graduate from high school, and you are in the top three percent of the crowd." Ireen is currently also in sequence 4, but her strength can only be regarded as the middle and is not outstanding.
"How about the Golden Flame Flower School that Ti Lan went to, it is the number one school in the Federation, and the competition must be fierce." Irene asked curiously.
"The competition doesn't seem to be that fierce." Tilan's fingers tapped her chin in recall.
"The new students are still in the fresh curiosity of new acquaintances, and the senior students are also doing what they are passionate about, so they will be busy, but not too stressful." She's a singer.,It's easy to sense the state of others.,It's true that students in school are rarely as anxious as in high school.。
"Probably because of the different educational methods in the school, the university encourages students to follow their own preferences and passions, and then rewards you according to your progress and progress." She remembered what Elukru said about the mechanics of the imitation game.
"That's right." Ireen didn't understand it or not, maybe the styles of the two schools were very different.
Her university is a commercial university, mainly cultivating company managers, this kind of competing professions will naturally be more anxious and involuted, and the Golden Flame Flower Academy, as the first university in the Federation, is obviously more idealistic, and as a student of the Golden Flame Flower Academy, they are all top geniuses in the crowd, and they almost don't have to worry about making a living in the second half of their lives, so their mood is completely different.
It is very good for ordinary college students to have a sequence 5 after graduation, and the students of the Golden Flame Flower Academy, there is no shortage of sequence 7 when they graduate, they are really geniuses who go wherever they go, and naturally they don't have to grieve their ideals for their livelihood.
"I'm so envious." After listening to Tilan's story, Irene couldn't help but sigh.
"Ireen can do it too."
Ti Lan's words are not comforting, in her eyes, although Yilin is not the top in terms of cultivation talent, she has always had a good attitude, even if her family is good, she is still diligent and hardworking, and has her own ideas and opinions, such a person will not be bad in the future.
"It's okay, I'm just sighing." Irene replied with a smile, she has been used to it for a long time in the past few years, after all, there are not many singers in the whole federation, and it is normal to have a gap compared to Tilan.
"There's a cold drink shop over there, if you don't go to the meeting, I'm tired of walking." After saying that, she pointed to the signboard not far away.
Tilan nodded, and the two of them made their way through the crowd towards the shop.
When the two came to the signboard, they found that the store was on the third floor, and when they walked up the stairs, they saw that the store was full of tourists, and the table was full of drink cups and food plates that they had not had time to put away.
In the midst of the noisy voice, Irene leaned into Tilan's ear and said, "Or Tilan will wait for me downstairs, and I'll meet you when I'm done." ”
The air here was stuffy, and she knew that Tilan didn't like to stand here and be watched by others, so she asked her to go downstairs and wait.
After thinking about it for a moment, Tilan nodded, and then told Ireen that she didn't have to buy too much.
Seeing Ti Lan walking down the stairs, Ireen looked at the line of more than a dozen people in front of her and walked over.
Speaking of which, Ti Lan is still the same as two years ago, and her height has stopped at 16-17 years old, just now she looked at Ti Lan down the stairs, and she felt like she was looking at her sister.
When she was a child, Ti Lan was very afraid of life and didn't like to squeeze in crowded places, but now although her strength is definitely not bad, this kind of personality and habits have not changed, which makes Irene feel inexplicably cordial and funny.
It would be nice if she could keep doing this, although she is a little suspicious of not being too big, but this kind of Tilan is especially cute and likable.
While Ireen was waiting in line, Tilan also walked out of the stairs and found the corner of the street to wait, which was near a branch path and was much less crowded.
Leaning on the lamppost on the side, the girl's heels lifted lightly, lightly pressed against the base, and then her eyes were raised, looking at the colorful laser column sweeping in the night sky and the large airship flying slowly.
In terms of crowd density and passenger flow, the central star field and the four-leaf crystal are completely different, she sighed a little in her heart.
Even the most prosperous commercial street in the south of Siye Jing will not be crowded with people, the street is extraordinarily spacious, and people are not satisfied.
High in the night sky, the large carp airship slowly turned its direction, and in the position hidden by its top, a few small red dots fell rapidly, crossing an inconspicuous trajectory in the night sky and rushing towards a corner of the business district.
This is? Ti Lan looked at this scene with a little surprise.
Although most people didn't notice it, with her visual ability and perception, she could clearly see what the little dots were in the cover of the night.
These are fully armed autonomic units, and the barrels hanging on the sides are also specially shaped, which are definitely used with enchanted bullets.
Could it be that there is an accident in the business district, but these self-discipline units are not like the police, and now after reading the internal materials at school, she has a clear understanding of the federal military and police structure.
In general, the anti-riot unit and the self-discipline assistance unit used by the police must make announcements when performing their duties, and they will not be paired with such high-powered bullets that are easy to be injured by mistake.
It may be the transfer of some official organization, it is hard to imagine that in a place with such a high level of security in the central star field, there will be illegal organization activities and carry such high-power lethal weapons.
The girl found a reason, but she was also a little curious about what these guys were doing.
After slamming his heel on the ground and knocking it twice, a large spider covered in frost fur appeared at Tilan's feet.
"Go check it out, and take care to hide." The girl confessed to this big guy, compared to the past, the big spider is now a meter long.
"Hiss~" The big spider made a sound in response, and then quickly jumped into the shadows and disappeared.
Although the combat power of the big spider is not particularly strong, when it comes to concealment ability, it can be said to be the top as a withering sequence and mastering the space shuttle skill, whether it is the body is blurred, or hiding in the space gap to hide, it can avoid all kinds of detection.
Half a minute later, following the self-discipline unit that swooped overhead, the spider made its way through the shadows until it reached an uninhabited alley.
It is supposed to be a low-cost apartment settlement, for those working in big cities, with a small number of simple shops and entertainment facilities nearby.
In the night sky, the autonomous units glide quietly, then descend one after another, moving quickly through dark corners, bouncing and climbing, and then converging towards a certain location.
The large spider hiding on the side wall of the apartment building watched the scene and then followed.
Although it doesn't know much about human society, it has seen a lot of this kind of self-discipline machine, and probably understands that someone is manipulating and scheduling.
Soon, after breaking into a certain area, as if breaking into a 'membrane', the outside world looked silent inside the dark alley, but there was a fierce battle.
The self-disciplined unit that arrived quickly took position, and then in an instant jumped up, lying on the walls on both sides of the alley and firing, the bullets tilted.
The violent sound of bullets firing made the big spider dodge in fright, and after a while, it continued to sneak up, although it was Sequence 5, but it could not withstand the dense fire of this enchanted bullet.
The ensuing battle entered a strange stage, the shattered human body gradually gathered, the dark red flesh and distorted appearance, so that there was a sense of discomfort when looking at it, and then the resurrection and flesh growth again, which surprised the big spider, it was also the first time to see this kind of strange scene.
No one taught it, but its biological instinct also told it that as long as its head was broken, it would not survive, but this 'unknown creature' in front of it distorted common sense.
In the battle that followed, although the gray fir man once relied on the Pale Holy Flame to suppress the other party, as the magic power was consumed, his aura gradually weakened.
Seeing the flesh monster sucking the two corpses it had killed, the big spider felt that this battle was going to hang, and if he waited any longer, the man on the other side would definitely die.
Even if it didn't care about the life or death of strangers, its instinct told it that this flesh monster was very abnormal, and with Tilan's character, it would probably stop it.
It's better to go back and recover your life, you can't beat it if you let it end.
Jumping off the wall, the spider vanished into the night without a sound, and the two sides in the distance, who were engrossed in the battle, were unaware of the signs of other beings slipping away.
Half a minute later, the tentacles of flesh and blood were raised high, imprisoning the black-haired gray fir man, and slowly corroding and assimilating.
In order to resist and die together, the gray fir man's body once again ignited pale flames, constantly burning the flesh that coiled him, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker, and various hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes, including people he was familiar with, those who should have died in his memory, and some people he had never seen before.
Some of the figures walked past him, some spoke to him, and some of them were talking, but he didn't understand a word.
I still underestimated my opponent, I knew that I would wait for a while and let the 'Black Crow' rush to assist, and the two would not fall into this situation if they joined forces.
The 'Joker' is always elusive, and even if they organize to get the whereabouts of the other party, it takes a lot of effort, and they are not sure when the other party will disappear again, so this operation can only be carried out in a hurry.
"Crows? Looks like you still have accomplices, hehe. ”
The flesh monster holding up the gray cedar man spoke again, and at this time its shape moved closer to the human form again, and it also grew a mouth that could speak, but the few large eyes flowing on its face still gave people a terrifying feeling.
No wonder the other party has been wearing purple tights to cover his whole body, and even his face has to be covered with a clown mask, so he wasn't a human being in the first place.
Despite the drowsiness of his brain and the hallucinations in front of him, the fir man barely noticed the change in the monster below.
"Vomit-" The violent feeling of nausea suddenly surged, as if a fist was inserted into his lungs, pushing out the gastric juice from his stomach, this sharp pain and discomfort made the man's consciousness barely sober up a little.
"Hehe, the will is really strong, and I haven't fainted yet." The other party slowly lowered the man who was held high, and then swept with one arm, shattering the self-discipline unit around it again.
"I didn't expect it to fall into my hands this time."
"Originally, I wanted to kill you, but after knowing that you were a member of that organization, I suddenly changed my mind." At this time, a purple-red dark potion slowly appeared above the man's head.
"What happens if I give you this test potion?"
"You definitely won't die, but maybe you'll become a madman in the future, but since people like you have contributed a lot to the organization, they will definitely not give up on you."
"Think about how pleasant and exciting it is to think that the former hero has now become a strange person who can wreak havoc at any time, and even gradually distort his spirit."
As he spoke, the vial opened, and several tentacles opened the man's mouth, forcing the rich purple-red liquid into the man's mouth.
"But, if you play like this, it's a little unexciting, didn't you just say that I was a genetically modified monster, and the potion I inject you now can also gradually change the genes of the cells in your body, and slowly infect and replace them."
"What will become of you? Whether it is according to the laws of the Federation or the regulations of your own organization, this monster will definitely not be able to live. ”
"It's so funny, I really want to see what your companions will look like when they see you again, whether it's joy, disgust, or despair, hahahahaha-" Cruel and arrogant laughter resounded through the alley.
The man who was poured the medicine convulsed on the ground, his body writhed unnaturally, and his mouth also made a low roar from time to time, which was extremely painful and depressing.
At this moment, on one side of the wall of this alley, a black-haired figure slowly fell silently, and its smart eyes turned to overlook what was happening below.
