[New here, you say yes.] 】

"Indeed." Shang Luo subconsciously followed.

【...】

“...”

Shang Luo froze in place, as if something was wrong. Something seems to be talking just now?

An inexplicable feeling came flooding up, but it was like an illusion. It's even a different feeling than the generators were felt before—this time not muffled flashbacks, but clear and unambiguous sounds. And he can be sure that this is not his own voice.

"Who are you?" He asked subconsciously.

【...】

Wheezing could be faintly heard, but there was no response.

"Mr. Xiao Shang? What are you talking about? Jefferson next to him asked.

"Ah, it's okay, I heard me wrong."

[No, no, no, no! You heard it right! So you can really hear it! I thought it was my delusion! 】

It was like a drowning person grasping at a life-saving straw, and the voice suddenly popped out, for fear that Shang Luo would not be able to hear her. Without waiting for Shang Luo to reply, she immediately continued:

[Help me!] I'm fed up with this bunch of guys who only accept the results they want and divinate over and over again if they don't succeed. I'm so annoyed by them! You can hear me, right?! You can hear me, right? Do me a favor! Please! Just meditate, no need to speak. 】

"Why should I help you? Are you some kind of youkai? Shang Luo thought silently in his heart.

[In front of you is the infinite divine machine "Apollonia."] The Creator of Destiny, the Pioneer of the Future, the Divine Machine of Light and Prophecy, the Wisest of the Divine Machines, the Most Eternal of the Wise Ones...]

"I can't fit so many people in my house."

【Good, good! I am Apollonia and Apollonia is me. An unlucky guy who needs help, and you're the only one who can hear me. I need your help. 】

"Wait a minute, you haven't explained why I'm helping you."

[As you can see, those tricks of tossing coins just now are from my power. It's just that these fools only play magician tricks, and they don't even know what a real miracle is - like, now I can help you escape. Believe it or not, they actually didn't intend to let you out alive at all, and it's all killers out there right now. If you don't believe me, you can make an excuse and say you want to go out. Otherwise, Shang Luo, use urine! 】

There was an inexplicable familiarity to this line, which made him feel a little strange. However, Shang Luo decided to try, because he really couldn't trust these brutes.

He raised his head and asked, "Where is the toilet?" ”

Jefferson still had a smile on his face: "Oh, Mr. Xiao Shang, this matter will soon be over. Why don't I teach you how to use miracles now? Or shall I tell you about your fate? ”

"But I really want to go to the toilet now..."

"Please wait. It's over in a short while. Jefferson stood up, his face a little displeased.

[What did I just say!] He doesn't want you to leave this room at all! Now you believe it, right? 】

"What should I do now?" He asked for advice from a mysterious voice calling himself "Apollonia".

[Let's do a divination first.] Divination can determine your fate through observation, and then we decide on the path. 】

"Okay."

The cards were in front of him, and Shang Luo drew two.

Two clowns were smiling at him. One is the big king, and the other is the little king.

"What does it mean to draw the big and small kings?"

[What else can it mean?] King Bomb! There are no taboos, just rush out! 】

"Is there a king fried in the tarot card???"

[I said that there is, there is no taboo! Without restraint! Rush and you're done. Or are you going to sit here and die? The two dozen gunmen out there were real deals. 】

"Well... So do I rush straight away, or do I have to do some preparations? "Shang Luo hasn't lived enough, but he doesn't want to die here.

[There is a pistol in the first drawer on the left hand side of his desk.] Maybe bringing that gun will give you some peace of mind. Along with the pistol is a music box, and that's my body. Take these two things with you and rush out immediately. 】

"Mr. Xiao Shang?" Jefferson asked again, "Why are you stunned?" Check quickly if there's anything wrong... Stop it! Why are you going inside! ”

Shang Luo walked to the desk without saying a word, and then stretched out his hand towards the first drawer on the left—

"Hey, what are you doing!" Jefferson knew better than anyone what was in there, and rushed up to intercept it. But Shang Luo was closer to the table, and he opened the drawer, and there was indeed a pistol inside.

A silver pistol.

0.50 cm self-defense pistol "Gradius", standard equipment of the Roman Army. However, unlike other Roman weapons that had regimental insignia, this pistol did not have a markings that could identify the user.

The safety has been unlocked, and the pistol is ready to be fired, just to take it out and shoot at any time. But when Shang Luo's hand touched the gun, the gun itself seemed to provide more information...

A box-shaped white music box also lay quietly next to the pistol.

"You say, there's no taboo, right? I'm not going to die anyway? Shang Luo made a final confirmation.

[That's right, fate is determined once it is observed, just like it was possible to guess correctly 15 times in a row before.] Now you have no taboos. Huh! What are you doing! Where are you pointing? 】

By the time he touched the gun, he already had an idea of what was going on with it. But the person in front of him didn't know.

"Hmm... There's no taboo, isn't it? ”

Facing Jefferson, Shang Luo looked at him with a smile.

"You... What are you doing? ”

Shang Luo raised his pistol, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

"Click", he heard the sound of a hammer striking. The movement of this machinery is often directly muffled by the sound of gunpowder deflagration. But now he heard it clearly.

Jefferson heard it too. He was stunned.

"You just drew the king and the little king... Then he said, 'There are no taboos.'" Jefferson's voice began to tremble, "Can you have a conversation with an angel?" Could it be that the angels are giving you protection? ”

"Exactly, that's right." Shang Luo walked over step by step—he reached out and picked up the deck of cards.

"Borrow your cards for use."

Shang Luo walked out the door, and Jefferson, who was talking to himself, did not stop him.

...

Outside, the door creaked open. Shang Luo walked out slowly.

Sure enough, there were twenty-four gunmen outside, no more, no less. They all crouched in the corner, leaving a path in between.

Shang Luo walked out of the door, turned around and gently closed the door.

"Good work." He nodded to the crowd and swaggered through the middle, as if he were working here.

Of the more than two dozen people, a few returned the salute, and most of them held their guns against the wall. But no one reached out to stop them, and no one even watched Shang Luo leave their sight, after all, Senator Jefferson didn't give the order.

After walking two steps, I came to the T-junction of the tunnel, and there were left and right forks in front of me.

"Well, men are left and women are right, so let's go left."

He turned to the left and ran into Franklin, who had sent him in earlier.

Franklin was walking down the hallway with an orange cardboard box. He was startled when he saw Shang Luo, because Shang Luo obviously shouldn't have appeared here at this time:

"How did you get out? Hey, I'm talking to you, how did you get out! Come back! He tilted his head and poked his head out from behind the cardboard box and shouted, but Shang Luo walked forward regardless of it. With a playing card in his left pocket and a music box in his right pocket, he moved slowly through the corridor like a walk.

"Hey, hey!" After two shouts, Franklin threw the orange cardboard box directly to the ground. He walked to the door of the senator's office in three or two steps: "Someone! Catch him! Get him back! ”

The 24 gunmen glanced at him, but remained unmoved, just stood quietly holding their guns.

"Hey! Do you know that you let go of the most important person! I don't want to live! ”

"Stop shouting." Jefferson pulled the door open from the inside and stood in the doorway, "They don't understand your official words. These fighters recruited from London are different from you, they only speak English. ”

"Senator, he ran away! Hurry up and get these people to get him back! ”

"You can't stop him." Jefferson shook his head, "The angel is protecting him, he can't be stopped, let him go, and leave us some dignity for ourselves." ”

"Your Excellency Senator, we have managed to bring him here, and you just watched him leave? This is ridiculous! ”

"Okay." Jefferson sighed, "It's all come to this, and I still can't accept my fate after all." Human beings are always struggling in vain. ”

He cleared his throat and gave the order to pursue in English.

...

[You scared him just now.] Apollonia made a sound, but there was no echo in the narrow hallway.

Shang Luo could be sure that the sound probably didn't exist physically.

"But it didn't scare me, I wasn't going to be casual and fatal. The gun told me it was jammed, and I just scared him. I can't believe anything you say unconditionally. ”

[No wonder you can talk to me... You can feel simple consciousness on simple machinery. Then with me, you should be able to feel the 'infinity'. 】

"Infinite? What is that? ”

[It's nothing, you hurry up and get out first, someone is chasing after you.] Apollonia reminded.

Dense footsteps followed behind. This underground stronghold is actually not large, and it is only a matter of time before he is found.

"Is it still useful what you just said about no taboos? There's a fork in the road ahead, so I can go whatever way I want. ”

[You can indeed be casual, but fate may not have the same view of "no taboos" as you. After all, there are no taboos that can guarantee you to live, but can the body be intact...]

"Strange... I don't feel if you're lying to me. Obviously, the emotions of other machines are easy to perceive. So are you really sure that there are really no taboos when you draw Wang Bang? ”

[First of all, I'm not a machine, please make this clear first.] I am the creator of destiny and the pioneer of the future......]

"I said stop, you're so good, these guys are only playing with you to guess coins? Shouldn't they ask how to unleash the fireball? Or how to soar? ”

[How do you know that no one has ever asked?] 】

"Uh-huh???"

Her answer made Shang Luo stumble on his feet. But now he doesn't have time to care about others, or he is more important to himself.

Turned to the left—to the left was a corridor, and at the end of the corridor was an iron door. In accordance with the requirements of the fire code, the iron door is marked with a green exit sign.

"Sure enough, you're pretty reliable. Just walk around and walk to the entrance? ”

Walking to the door, he reached out and was about to open it—the door didn't move. Not locked, but the whole rust died.

"Hey! There is a stale smell to this door, and no one has opened it for at least 5 years! Are you sure this is the right way to go? ”

[Rest assured, absolutely reliable.] 】

The footsteps behind him were getting closer, and there was even the sound of a bullet being loaded.

"Hey, hey, Miss Apollonia, if you have a way, say it quickly, or I'll have to explain it here today."

[Fate is already predestined once observed. If I'm not mistaken... 5，4，3】

Shang Luo vaguely sensed something, and hid in the corner of the wall with an arrow step, holding his head and squatting on the spot.

With a "boom", the door-breaking bomb blew up the lock of the iron door and the entire iron door.

A whole group of armorers in matte scale armor burst through the door, each carrying a compact Taihe 12-year-style 0.9 cm submachine gun.

The submachine gun did not have a silencer, but a horn - only by retaining the sound of the shot, you can know that it was the Jinyi guard who came to raid the house.

An officer who was not wearing armor, but was wearing a flying fish suit, strode in from the armor. He was so strong that he propped up his loose flying fish suit, and he had an embroidered spring knife pinned to his belt. This is the standard Jinyiwei shape, according to the relevant regulations, there must be a military academy wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife to be present, and the Jinyiwei can handle the case.

This is a deliberately preserved and exaggerated tradition. Because only in this way can you know that it was Jinyiwei who came to raid the house.

The military academy in the Flying Fish suit roared into the corridor with a larger handheld megaphone:

"Jin Yiwei handles the case! Idle people and others disperse! Hand me the hostages, or I won't be left with a whole corpse!" Repeat, hand over the hostages, otherwise you won't leave the whole corpse! ”
