The T1 area of the metropolis is a government office area, and the roads are bustling with people during the day, but at night, most of the buildings become empty and unpopular.

However, for those who work in the city hall, some departments will ask them to continue sorting out documents, and this work will continue until late at night.

Speaking of which, the name Metropolis did not originally exist, after the establishment of TPC, capable countries around the world have begun to redivide various regions in the country, all in order to allow human beings to face a new future with a new look.

Although human beings do not know what the new future will look like at this moment, human beings understand that a more efficient, more scientific, and more advanced administrative division of personnel density can make human beings explode more efficiently.

All the institutions have been reorganized in the new era, and it is a well-known fact that the whole world is the same, although there will be some differences in the specific departments, but in fact, countries and governments all over the world have the phenomenon of overstaffing and lack of manpower.

Yes, in some local governments have had to recruit more people, but in others, everyone understands that there are a large number of people who are doing nothing.

In the first year after the establishment of TPC, Sawai carried out a radical reform of various countries in the name of the huge people, relying on supercomputers and the wisdom of sociologists from all over the world.

At least for the first decade after TPC was founded, this new architecture will ensure that humanity will not be shackled by what is happening on the ground as it moves into space.

The vast majority of the people are satisfied with the streamlining and expansion of various departments, and the fact that there is a fully functional government is actually enough to make the people satisfied with the TPC.

As for the so-called new future, in fact, people don't care so much, or rather, for the vast majority of people, if there really is a better future, it is indeed worth cheering for the people, but if not, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, the people are happy enough.

As for what the future holds, that's what the top talent led by Sawai is going to do, after all, TPC is now using taxes from people all over the world.

Keigo Masaki was in the high-end building in Kumamoto, Casto was lying in the office where he first met Keigo Masaki, the sun shining on him through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Keigo Masaki was doing push-ups with weights on the side, while watching the latest progress of the Atlantis from TPC.

"I'm obviously curious to die, but because I don't want to rob Dr. Yao of the credit, I don't want to take the initiative to see what happened to the Atlantis, it's worthy of you, Keigo Masaki, in this matter, you look like a girl~"

Castor was lying in the sun with his eyes closed, deliberately mocking Keigo Masaki, but Keigo Masaki didn't pay much attention to this guy, after getting along for so long, Keigo Masaki believed that he knew enough about Kasto,

For this kind of mocking words, it is indeed not his character to not speak, but as soon as he speaks, he is absolutely fooled.

"Hmph, why don't you go and tease that big guy in the deep sea today?" Masaki Keigo snorted coldly and took the initiative to change the topic, "Although that guy is more annoying, but if you really have to count the guts, you are indeed not as good as the other you." ”

Keigo Masaki said this, he had unconsciously constructed two completely different character models in his mind, and his super brain was enough for him to model the subtle movements of the two Castors and then distinguish them into two completely different individuals.

However, it is not enough to say that it is completely different, and it is more like a split personality under some kind of multiple personality.

"Ah, don't just mention these unpleasant things, say it in advance, if that guy does something to you that makes you angry, don't take your anger out on me, I'm innocent." Casto opened his eyes slightly, and explained helplessly to Keigo Masaki,

"I'm tired, but you're comfortable here."

The corners of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched, he really wanted to hit someone, but there was no way, Castor This guy has been looking like a salted fish since he came back, and his pride as a genius makes him can't just hit a waste.

"You look like you're insulting to me?" Casto turned over on the recliner, "As compensation, at noon today I want to eat oily meat without oil, sweet and sour fish without sweet and sour fish, and wife cake with a wife." ”

Casto, who has been working in the universe next door for I don't know how many days he has lived, has been completely rotten, and he does things in other people's dreams every day, and now he just wants to eat a bite of good, preferably, something that has not been eaten.

Keigo Masaki listened to Casto's unreasonable recipe, his fists clenched,

He felt that if he didn't beat the other party again, he might not be able to understand his thoughts, he might go astray, or he might have darkness in his heart.

It only took three seconds for Keigo Masaki to make an excuse for himself to punch Kasto, and then in another three seconds, he had already taken off his shirt and walked in front of Casto.

"Huh? Murderous? As soon as Casto opened his eyes, he saw punching bag-sized fists falling from the sky.

At this moment, suddenly the door was pushed open, and Shinjo, who was wearing the uniform of the victory team, pushed open the door and walked in with a smile, and then, he saw the shirtless Masaki Keigo standing in the sun, not knowing what to do to Casto who was lying on the chaise longue.

Newcastle:?????

Casto: I just seem to be one step away from death.

Keigo Masaki: Shall I kill both of them?

The room didn't know why, it suddenly fell silent, Xincheng scratched his head writhingly, then turned around and took a few steps back, "What, am I not here at the right time?" Shall I go out first? Actually, I didn't see anything."

While speaking, Xincheng also took off the camera on the uniform of the victory team, and like the law enforcement agency, when the victory team is on duty, it will also install similar law enforcement cameras on the clothes.

Not so much to prevent human attacks, but to prevent the inability to record cosmic humans or any supernatural phenomenon in the first place.

"Nope! No! No! You're here at the right time!! Casto, who was on the recliner, pushed away the shirtless Keigo Masaki and shouted loudly to Shinjo, "Now I, as an advisor to the victory team, order you to protect me all the way!" ”

"Victory Advisor?" Xincheng walked to the side of the chair and sat down with some confusion, "Mr. Casto, aren't you already the captain of the ground tiger team now?" How did the name come about? Why is it weird as if someone took it in the seventies of the last century? ”

Casto:

A little angry, not because he was made the captain of some special unit by that guy, but because that guy actually took the name of a ground tiger

Before Casto could finish complaining about the name in his heart, Xincheng spoke again, "But if there is no winning team, I would like to join the Ground Tigers, it sounds quite handsome!" ”

"If you mention any more ground tigers in my company, I'll throw you all out!" Keigo Masaki was already dressed, and at the moment he was looking at Casto and Shinjo with a foolish look.

"By the way, Keigo Masaki, what's the name of your company?" Xincheng suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, every time I want to find your company, I have to search on the Internet, and your company name is really hard to remember."

"Sediq! Are you primitive?! Keigo Masaki shouted angrily, "Cytech Software!! ”

"Oh, it's Cytech Software." Xincheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It's really not as good as the ground tiger."

Xincheng's very serious words made Casto laugh too, there was one thing to say, he had never remembered the name of Masaki Keigo's company, even if, he had been here I don't know how many times.

"Hmph, you reckless, ground tigers? You only have this level of aesthetics, and you will not understand the beauty of technology, just as your brain will never understand me."

Masaki Keigo snorted coldly and taunted at Xinshi, but he was only halfway through the mockery, and Xincheng suddenly interjected, "What, if it's not a ground tiger, but a ground shark, do you think this name will be better?" ”

"Humph! Ground shark words. That's really aesthetic. ”

Shinjo turned his head and shrugged at Castor, the expression seemed to say, 'Look, this is Keigo Masaki's 'high-end aesthetic', who likes underwater creatures. ’

Casto: ?

Can anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between a ground tiger and a ground shark?

One is a feline, the other is a shark, what kind of animal is it?

"Alright, let's get down to business." Casto shook his head vigorously, then got up from the recliner, walked to Keigo Masaki's cabinet, entered the password in front of Keigo Masaki, and then took out his treasured wine, "I heard that old guy Sawai wants to find a place to live for intelligent beings other than humans?" ”

"Oh yes." Shinjo took the wine glass handed over by Castor under the glaring of Keigo Masaki, and then explained,

"You also know that although many people think that Director Sawai is a seasoned politician, in fact, Director Saui is an idealist in the true sense of the word, and compared to ordinary idealists, Director Sawai is the kind of idealist that is rare and the ideal adjusts with reality."

Xincheng thought about it, and then stammered a little,

"Ordinary idealists are accustomed to using intuition to understand the world and use emotions to make judgments about the world, but Director Sawai is different, as the world continues to change, Director Sakai is constantly adjusting his view of the world."

Xincheng thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a suitable statement, but it was Masaki Keigo who snorted coldly and said, "Always, that old guy in Sawai, has already started thinking about how to make the earth civilization stronger, right?" ”

Xincheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, the director has been preparing for a more powerful earth,

As for why I'm weird about this, although I'm not good at research and don't know much about sociology, but I seem to be with the witch Saeki, Kirino Makio, and the three astronauts in Jeep 3. And you guys, anyway, I have a good relationship with everyone

Director Sawai seems to value my ability and wants me to contact everyone."

Castor heard Shinjo's words, and then looked at Keigo Masaki with a smile, and Keigo Masaki turned his head away and didn't want to see Kasto's expression, although he didn't want to admit it, but Shinjo was indeed one of the few mortals who could be accepted by him.

"Hmph, this is also normal, your stupidity and weakness make you have a kind of low-level animal cuteness in our eyes, as if a person looks at an animal."

Keigo Masaki showed a look of disdain on his face, but at this moment, Xincheng was taken aback,

"Cute?! Keigo Masaki, I warn you! Don't get me wrong, I'm not the weird kind of person!! ”

"Are you an idiot!!" Keigo Masaki was also made to jump by Shinjo's words, and he shouted angrily, "I'm mocking you!" Can't you hear that!! Simile! It's a metaphor!! ”

Castor laughed, compared to the daily life of being invaded by monsters seven or eight times a month on average in the universe next door, he really liked this universe, a peaceful life.

Seeing Casto laughing there, Keigo Masaki, who was already very angry, suddenly became even more angry, he gritted his teeth and snatched the wine from Casto's hand, and then complained while drinking, "The artificial sun, the Kiri Elrods, those three astronauts, and all kinds of things, I'm so busy to death, why are you so idle every day!! ”

Xincheng also looked at Casto with some envy, "In addition to the daily work of the victory team, I also have to participate in the commissioning of the Yatidis every day, and I also have to contact those people in the mouth of Director Sawai, why can't I bask in the sun every day??? ”

"Busy, busy, busy~" Casto squinted at the sun outside the window, and said indifferently about the complaints of Keigo Masaki and Shinjo,

"I don't have the scientific research ability of Keigo Masaki, and I don't have the popularity of you in Xincheng, alas~ Let me be a remnant of the old era, so decadent!"

"Don't think about it, you don't know yet, do you?" Xincheng suddenly lowered his voice, "There has been an urban legend recently, and our victory team has begun to follow up. ”

"Urban legends?" Casto was stunned for a moment, then covered his ears with his hands, "I don't want to know, do your own thing, I believe you can!" ”

Keigo Masaki walked around to the back, grabbed Casto's hands with a grapple, and then looked at Shinjo with a calm face, "Say!" What is an urban legend? Are the cosmic people invading the earth? Our Ground Tigers are finally going to play!? ”

"No, we've been getting a lot of alarms lately, and legend has it that every night, there will be a large number of ironclad soldiers roaming the streets."

"Ironclad? What is the iron armor made of? What about time? How many observations are counted? Masaki Keigo looked at Xincheng seriously, and Xincheng was at a loss, "I don't know, this matter was the responsibility of the Police Bureau before, and it was only handed over to our victory team two days ago." ”

Masaki Keigo just opened his mouth to scold, but Xincheng immediately said, as if he had expected it, "But it's not completely without clues, the people from the police bureau have obtained the armor of a few ironclad soldiers before, and now they will be studied in the base." ”

"Speaking of which, I heard Horii and Norui say that that thing is a little weird, it doesn't seem to be a known technology, and it's closer to some kind of mechanical life."

Keigo Masaki frowned, wondering if he should go to the headquarters to see what that thing was like.

Castor frowned, wondering if he had already warned the others that it was best not to send anything strange to the base if he picked it up on the street.

Shinjo looked at Keigo Masaki, and then asked, "Speaking of which, when Horii asked me to come here, do you have time to go to the base to have a look, he thinks this thing may be very valuable for research." ”

Keigo Masaki frowned, nodded, and said while thinking, "If it's a mechanical lifeform, it's really valuable for research, and as a part of materials science, it's really qualified for me to put aside the other research at hand and take a look." ”

"However, specifically I need him to transfer a file over if there is one. Forget it, I don't understand with you, I'll contact him directly then."

Casto tried to break free from his grip while Keigo Masaki was thinking, but failed, and he looked at Shinjo speechlessly,

"Actually, I have a very good idea, anyway, human technology has developed so far, in the face of this strange mechanical lifeform, isn't the best solution not to get a rocket and send things into the sun?"

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, I've said a long time ago that you don't just bring messy things back to the base, especially things that are offensive at first glance, who the hell just brought these things back to the base?"

"It seems to be the front-line unit of the police department. If I'm not mistaken, a member of the Ground Tigers? "Mr. Castor, as their captain, don't you know about this?" ”

"He? He didn't even bring a communicator with him when he went out! Don't say anything about the Ground Tigers, even if your victory team wants to contact him now, you can only do it through me." Keigo Masaki glanced at Castor, who was captured by himself, angrily,

"I think that kind of mechanical life form is still worth researching, and if I can, I think I can embed that thing directly into this guy's brain to prevent him from being unreachable when he touches the fish."

Casto's eyelids jumped, in the Okuya, any human saying this sentence could be a joke, but if it was Keigo Masaki who said it. Casto thinks it's hard to say, if this guy really thinks so, then he has to fish in a different place

"Actually, I don't have to touch the fish, if Masaki Keigo is willing to let me go, in fact, I can also show you my superb command ability"

Just when Casto started talking nonsense, Xincheng's communicator suddenly rang, he turned on the video screen on the PDI, and Dagu's voice came from the opposite side, "This is Dagu, this is Dagu, can you hear it?" I need help! ”

"You can hear it, this is a new city!" When Xincheng heard Da Gu's words, he suddenly entered a serious state, and said solemnly, "Da Gu, please report your position and situation, and tell me whether you need the whole victory team to enter the combat state!" ”

Keigo Masaki and Casto watched the conversation between Shinjo and Oko, and nodded with satisfaction, compared to the state when they had no experience at the beginning, the current victory team is obviously much more professional.

"Look at Keigo Masaki, I just said, we don't need to be too nervous, trust the victory team, although you are a giant of light, you are a genius, but the earth is the same for everyone." Casto said to Keigo Masaki with telekinesis, "All we have to do is give them a gentle nudge, and then just trust them." ”

"Tsk, don't teach me how to do things! You talkative thing! Masaki Keigo said to Casto in his mind dissatisfied, "You don't look at who brought out Dagu, if I hadn't taken Dagu with me, how could he have grown so fast!" ”

"Hey! You guy! Seeing that Keigo Masaki took all the credit on himself, Casto was a little speechless, "If I hadn't told you that Dagu also has the genetic factor of light, would you have been able to discover Dagu's talent?!"

Maxima often has Bole and Bole is not often, if Dagu is Maxima, I am Bole, you Zhengmu Jingwu? A groom at most! ”

"Humph! Maxima? If Dagu is a maxima! I'm Keigo Masaki and I'm a shark in the sea! And you're just a salted fish in the sea. ”

While Casto and Masaki Keigo were arguing in their minds, Daiko spoke,

"Eh, are you with Mr. Casor and Brother Zhengmu?! Can you give them the communicator? ”

"What?" Xincheng, who was originally serious, was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" What do you mean for me to give them the communicator? ”

"Here's the thing, when I was patrolling on the road, I was surrounded by a group of ironclad soldiers, I solved them easily, the problem is that they are all hollow, I want to ask, in this case, should I take them back to the base, or send them to Brother Zhengmu's company?"

"In addition, can you contact someone to help me, there are too many things, and I can't get lucky." Da Gu thought for a while and continued, "Besides, I haven't eaten yet, Brother Zhengmu, do you have anything to eat there?" ”

"I think what you said makes sense, Dagu has grown to this point, thanks to your cultivation all the way to Keigo Masaki"

"Humph! I'm a shark at the bottom of the sea, you also said, Dagu is a maxima, how can a shark cultivate a maxima"

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Is anyone there? Dagu looked at the camera without saying a word, "Is it stuck?" ”
