Haiqing District.

A complex of buildings that have long been abandoned for an unknown number of years stands on the edge of the protective walls of the Sinku and Haiqing districts.

The buildings were shrouded in darkness.

As far as the eye could see, it was all pitch black.

The night wind whistled, like the sound of a ghost.

Strange whispers mingled with the wind, adding a touch of weirdness to the area.

When revenues don't cover the costs, officials and companies responsible for controlling energy don't hesitate to abandon the area and let it go to waste.

They turned off the water and electricity in the place and forced those people to leave their houses.

There may also be small settlements inhabited by wanderers who don't want to rely on technology.

But they are few in number, and they are in danger at all times.

If there is not enough crowd to gather, it will be eroded and corrupted by monsters little by little.

Wraiths roam the ruins.

Dead people sometimes get up and look for fresh flesh.

Subspace curses every soul.

Even if you die, you can't rest in peace.

Wandering alone in the wilderness is a search for death, but wandering through the ruins of Liberty City is never a good thing.

In this day and age, death is no longer a relief.

Qin Zheng and the others were hiding in a desolate factory.

The factory covers a large area.

What's more, there are energy lines leading to the protective wall passing through this area.

The energy supply of the protective wall is provided by the energy stacks in the urban area.

Energy pipes need to be connected.

in order to provide energy for the weapon systems and various military equipment on the protective wall.

Qin Zheng and others used the equipment to connect the energy pipeline, steal the energy, and restart the equipment on a factory floor as their base.

"It's really fortunate that the core computing module and signal transmission module of this factory can still be used." Buttermos said excitedly as he operated: "In this case, we only need to hide ourselves carefully, and we can stay here safely." ”

"It's boring, this place where birds don't." Johnny lay bored on a huge, defunct assembly line track, "You're the only one with a smile left, Buttermoss." ”

Johnny still has a guitar on his body, and even if he loves music, he can't play it in a place where there is no audience.

He just wants to lie here lazily, do nothing, and spend his life with boredom.

David, Bai Qi, and Juba are cleaning their weapons on a single cloth.

It was filled with disassembled weapon parts.

They wiped the electronic components with a special protective fluid, checked for rust, made sure that there were no problems with the guns.

Morgan practiced throwing a little further away.

In his hand he held a sharp dagger forged with single-molecule technology.

A few meters away on the wall, there were also several daggers.

This dagger is unusually sharp, especially at the tip of the blade.

Able to cut through everything along the gaps between molecular structures.

Went for a run around the Sinku district.

Qin Zheng closed his eyes on the side to recuperate, and at the same time checked the situation of the dream.

Compared with more than half a month ago, the dream has changed a lot.

What had been a lone fire now had a cluster of light that emitted a soft silver glow.

on the wall on the side of the high platform.

The pattern of the scepter is becoming more and more lifelike.

Next to the scepter, there was one more bright spot than the last time, which I don't know what to do.

It was as if a silver crushed gemstone was embedded in the mottled wall.

Qin Zheng carefully observed every corner of the high platform and memorized all the details in his mind.

He was pretty sure that this point had not been available before.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a thin line between the point of light and the scepter.

The relationship between the two is as mysterious as the relationship between the fire and the light cluster.

Qin Zheng didn't know what was going on!!

He is well aware that every symbol has meaning.

They represent something.

What he does in reality affects dreams.

When the impact is strong enough, the dream will change.

But he still hasn't fully understood the change his actions will make.

Qin Zheng, who couldn't find any answers, withdrew from the dream.

Either way, any change is better than the same as before.

.................

Qin Zheng opened his eyes and glanced at Johnny, who was lazy, and David and the others, who were carefully checking their equipment.

Farther away, Brian and Morgan are debugging their vehicles, and Tsubaki is finishing her ninja training as always.

Even though it has gone through so many glorious and absurd times.

Some ancient legacies are still alive and well.

They perpetuate in human society in alternative ways.

For example, knights in medieval Europe, ninjas in island nations, mysterious Force warriors, a certain western cowboy peculiar to Taka-chan with a bare tail, indulged in the oriental practice of seeking immortality and immortality.

Sometimes these things will be hidden from the eyes of the mainstream of society, and sometimes they will be revitalized and attracted by the world.

At a time when human technology was going to the stars, these inheritances were once regarded as feudal superstitions.

It wasn't until the advent of subspace that the existence of psionics was recognized by the public, and these mysterious inheritances were brought to the table.

People feel that these ancient practices really help them to recognize the true meaning of the universe.

Wait until the time comes when humanity will engage in large-scale interstellar warfare in order to expand its colonies and domination.

Hundreds of meters thick light cannons, dozens of kilometers long warships, can easily destroy a world's star destroyer cannons, and people once felt that these ancient inheritances were ridiculous, and once again regarded them as the residual poison of the era of ignorance.

When the eternal night falls, human technology cannot cope with the unknowable.

When there is no way, people move these ancient inheritances out again, hoping to find a solution to the dilemma.

Capricious, always feel that the shallow knowledge I have obtained is the immutable truth of the universe.

If there is a philosopher here, he will laugh.

Qin Zheng didn't know how to evaluate it.

In his day, ninjas, samurai, and cultivators would only attract the ridicule of the Internet as a representative of ignorance.

But in this era, these names represent ancient powers that hold mystical powers and subspace knowledge.

Tsubaki's fighting skills are strong.

She also has a very special breathing technique.

Able to increase their physical strength and mental strength,

In battle, this mysterious breathing technique can also change the physiological characteristics of life.

It allows her to act like an inanimate object from radar and psionic detection.

She can also dim the light of her soul in the subspace, so that those monsters can't see her.

The knife in her hand was forged using a special secret method.

In addition to having an oscillating force field, it can sharpen iron like clay.

The blade also has the power of a curse attached to it.

Once you get scratched, you will bleed and die quickly.

The word breathing method sounds lofty!!

Qin Zheng thought of the secrets of the family's pursuit of immortality and godhood that Batmoss had said.

Maybe there are really people who are fighting for the so-called breathing method or cultivation method, in a vain attempt to achieve immortal gods with mortal bodies.

Qin Zheng was not interested in breathing, eternal life, and becoming a god.

In his view, eternal life is an out-and-out hoax.

It's as if someone told you that as long as you work hard in this life, you will be happy in the next life.

In fact, those people don't care about whether you will be happy in the next life, they just want you to suffer in this life and let him be happy.

In the same way, those evil gods or subspace beings who tell humans to live forever don't care whether humans can live forever or not.

I only hope that human beings will fight for eternal life and become gods, and create more fun for them.

.........

Tsubaki didn't talk to Qin Zheng about himself.

She was the least talkative in the team.

Qin Zheng learned about Tsubaki's backstory through the fire.

As long as you become his subordinate, you will become firewood.

All the secrets are in your hands.

Qin Zheng knew early on that Tsubaki came from a special force.

It was Qinghuan who used the black fat man's hand to insert the back hand of his team.

Once a problem is discovered, Tsubaki will attack him to ensure that Qinghuan's interests are not harmed.

Qin Zheng knew this, but he didn't say anything.

At this stage, Qinghuan is still needed.

It doesn't matter if Tsubaki is two-faced or not.

Aside from her special mission, this female ninja's combat power is still quite good.

Keep it and clean it up when it's worthless.

............

Qin Zheng retracted his gaze and took out the leather book from his arms.

The book has been distorted.

It became the key to hacking into the big-eyed evil god belief network.

When he first entered the network of believers with big eyes, Qin Zheng was not only able to listen to the voices of those believers.

He is also able to use his abilities and wills to influence believers who twist and worship the Monoculus.

This ability gave Qin Zheng a sense of immediacy with yellow hair.

It's like a gentle and lovely, pure and touching young girl who is full of endless beautiful fantasies about the future believes in her brother next door wholeheartedly, is willing to give everything for her brother next door, and thinks that the road of love between herself and her brother next door will definitely come to the end.

However, he distorted the other person's mind and soul through various despicable means such as pretending to be someone's brother next door, causing him to fall into the abyss, and finally become the shape he wanted.

Qin Zheng was a little curious if the other beings who were enshrined could also invade and change their believers in this way.

If you could, it would be nice to think about.

Coax those ignorant believers to work for themselves, raise funds for themselves, and let them 996, be cannon fodder.

It's a shame that this ability isn't used to make trouble.

Qin Zheng thought about how to make good use of his ability.

Bartmoss's voice rang out abruptly, interrupting his thoughts.

"Someone's coming."
