Chapter 21: It looks like the story is almost over

Then things went so smoothly that it felt like a dream. Xiao Gu wanted to be the guide of the group of mages, of course, it was impossible to continue the duel, and this matter was over. After entering the building, the people of the First Intelligence Department felt very unbelievable that the place was so dilapidated, and said on the spot that they would ask for official large-scale repairs when they returned.

They selected the staff cafeteria to set up a command station. The captain enslaved the younger brothers to clean up, and the staff cafeteria, which was originally deserted and dusty, became a new look, and the tables and chairs on the verge of decay were repaired and put out for use. Nick and Xiao Ji were already very impressed by this, but the captain didn't seem to be satisfied yet, and hoped for a few more cushions.

The entire staff cafeteria was full of people, all wearing the uniform of the First Intelligence Department of the Mage with gold trim on a black background, and the Magic Hand logo embroidered on the shoulders. They sat or stood, researching materials, assigning tasks, and eating by the way, such a lively scene had not been seen in the fourth incinerator for I don't know how many years.

The captain wanted to see the real-time data of the entire Fourth Incinerator, and Xiao Balet told him that it was the monster who was dealing with it. Xiao Zhu doesn't use the magic brain system here, and he can't call up those materials.

"Where's the weird head?" asked the captain.

He replied, "I don't know. He's the only systems engineer here, and he's got a weird head when he falls into a pit. He never took the initiative to contact me, the park is huge, and I don't know where he sleeps. 」

"What does he look like?"

He replied, "He's weird. "The personnel information in the registration room has been messed up, even if it is not messed up, Xi Ke is not sure that he can find the information of the strange head, and even if he finds it, the file photo will probably be the same as the fat cat director, which is much different from the current one.

The captain groaned and said, "Can you draw it?"

Xiao Zhu took out a pen and paper, and what he drew could only be a sea urchin. Rick took over and added a pair of work pants under the sea urchin.

"Sea urchins in work pants?" the captain frowned at the picture.

"That's it, that's right. Rick said. Because the impression of the dish antenna cap is too strong, he and Xiao Gu only remember the strange head, but not what the face looks like underneath.

The captain tossed the diagram aside and did not use it as a reference. Rick thinks it was the right decision.

"Where does he always appear?" asked the captain again.

"The main control room. That's where he works. Xiao Zhu said.

"I warn you first. It's haunted, and I almost got locked in it last time. Rick said.

"I felt it five hundred meters away. The captain's brow never stretched, "There's a very strong reaction here. Nopige has a knack for wreaking havoc with local materials, and I fear it's a sign that he's done something wrong. If you notice anything strange, let me know right away. 」

"The spirits here are not ordinary spirits, they can think, they can become entities, they can manipulate magic weapons. They also said that they would break through the suppression spell here in the near future and destroy the Fourth Incinerator!"

"This is the first time Norpig has used residual consciousness as a source material, and his abilities have become stronger again. I'm afraid he already has the jishu to gather the spirits to create a qualitative change. We must dredge up the excess spirit energy here right now!" the captain concluded. This conclusion is exactly what Rick wants.

So the mage troops spread out in the fourth incinerator, measuring the location and nailing down magic stakes, preparing to create a large magic circle. With Magic Stake Solid Energy, these mages can cast spells normally, even within range of the spell energy devour.

Nick, Xiao Ballast, Captain and two of his subordinates go to the main control room together. The hallway outside the door was still only the row of repeated trampling footprints, and the two rows that he rushed out with Rick as he walked in. They trampled on the mud and opened the door to the main control room, where everything was smashed. Every screen was smashed, the console was torn apart into a pile of scrap metal, the keyboard was broken in two, and the control stick lay on the ground, not even the light bulb was spared. On the snow-white walls is written in bright red paint: Freedom of the Soulless!

The Captain walks into the room and picks up two objects on the floor in the center of the room: a dish antenna shaped like a sea urchin, and a pair of worn-out work pants. They were thrown to the ground casually.

"Alert everyone. The strange dress is exactly the style of Nopige. He's probably disguised as an employee here for a long time, and now he might be hiding somewhere!" The captain said to Rick and Ballast, "You go and take refuge outside, it's dangerous here. 」

So Rick and Ballast retreated to the bald turf outside the gate and hid in the tents of the mage troops.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Rick's retreat baggage is simple. It's the big suitcase he brought when he came, plus a chicken quilt and pillow, and he finished moving it in one trip. Xiao Zhu ran several times and kept moving things over. The tent they shared was gradually filled with high-priced goods, and it made him feel as if he shouldn't be here.

He sat on an imported carpet that he couldn't afford to buy even after ten years of work, worried about whether the mud was clean under the shoes he was smiling at.

The ballast didn't matter, and he stepped on it directly. He didn't care about the expensive carpet, but he cherished a hand puppet that could be put on his hand to play on the bookshelf, and he also supported it with a shelf made of sandalwood. That hand puppet can't be exchanged for a few dollars at a glance. It is a layman's handiwork. The stitches are messy, very rough, the face is still tilted to the side, and the eyes that are not woven are large and small. It was supposed to look like an orange cat, but it looked more like a poodle. The hand puppet has a hard board in its mouth, so the face is straight.

Xiao Ballast used a magic kettle that didn't need to make a fire, and would heat up the boiling water as long as it was turned on to make tea, and gave Xi Ke a cup almost expressionlessly. After five days of getting along, Xi Ke already knew that Xiao Zhen used this expression to give tea a serious thing to talk about.

He sat cross-legged in front of Rick, let out a long breath with his head down, then raised his eyes to glare at Rick and said in a menacing bass, "Where is the core of the incinerator?"

"You don't plan to be a lawyer in the future, do you?" Rick wailed, "You look more like a prosecutor now. It was one of the last people he wanted to see.

"Less nonsense, where is the core of the incinerator?" Xiao Zhen pressed his palm against the carpet, his upper body approaching Xike. Now he looks like he's crossed the line of a prosecutor and is starting to look like a **.

"I don't know!" Nick leaned his upper body forward, his forehead almost on top of his ballast, "How could I have seen that thing! I just found out today that he was the core of the incinerator!"

The little ballast squinted and asked, "Really?"

Nick replied, "It's true. 」

The tent's curtain was lifted by hand, and Nemo and Lisna were pushed in with their staff by the mages of the First Intelligence Department.

"Get your shoes clean and come up again!" said Rick, turning his upper body and pointing at Namo.

Naimo dragged his feet on the small plastic mat a few times, "Xike, you have a poor acid smell in you. 」

"It's a fact that I'm poor. Rick turned his head to face the tent wall and drank tea.

"When you were still in the academy, you never smashed the cauldron, as long as there was a scratch, you threw it out from the tenth floor, and now you just scratch a few hairs and you don't mind it. Namo bent forward exaggeratedly and sighed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the mages who had taken him had left, so he sat down with his arm around Lisina's waist. Automatically find a cup to pour tea to drink.

"I heard there's a wanted criminal in there, isn't it? Why did you get a mage catch?" Nemo pulled up his sleeve and showed Rick the scratches on his hands, "A bunch of violent elements. 」

"That's because you ran after them. Rick gave him a roll of the eye. He didn't miss the two mages who had come in, one had just been connected with a spell on the bridge of his nose, and the other was limping when he walked.

"Don't change the subject, it says you know where the core is, I don't think it's lying. Xiao Gu interjected.

Hearing the word "core", Namo's eyes lit up: "Do you know where the core of the incinerator is, tell me, we have five or five points of profitβ€”no, six or four, how about you six and me four? You know I won't let you suffer!"

Xi Ke was worried that Xiao Ji would fight Namo to protect his grandfather's things, but Xiao Ji just glared at Namo and said, "Black market thief, you can't use that thing if you take it. It was tailor-made for the Archmage to check, and no one but him could use it. 」

"There are so many schools of magic in this world, someone will find a way. Namo stretched out his hands and said to Rick, "So, tell me quickly, so that you can be out of poverty!"

"You tell me, I'll feed and live for you for a year, and you will have steak every day!" Xiao Zhen also proposed very favorable conditions for Xi Ke's weakness.

"I don't know, I don't know!" Rick roared, stubbornly sipping tea against the wall. He didn't want to hear anyone talk about the old man now, he didn't want to recall what the old man said about him, he felt that the old man expected too much of him. Even if he had done something great before, it didn't mean anything now. At the age of seventeen, he killed and slashed countless demons, and at the age of twenty, he didn't even have a shelter from the wind and rain. The words of the old tree spirit tugged at his heart. He should have been able to ignore those words, but he couldn't help but think about it.

Although he is downcast like this, there is still ambition in a corner of his heart, and he wants to scare this shijie's ambition. This ambition left his soul at rest.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

There was a commotion outside the tent, louder and louder, louder than their conversation. Rick recognized Lady Fangfno's voice outside, and he sighed deeply. He's still the Fourth Incinerator, and he feels like he should step in. He stepped out of the tent and onto the bald turf. The other two followed, and Xiao Zhen stuffed the cat hand puppet into his pocket and brought it out, obviously not at ease with letting this thing be alone in such an open space. Obviously, his other belongings are in a much more dangerous situation than this hand puppet.

The number of protesters on the bald turf was the largest ever seen by Rick since he arrived. The lighting they brought with them lit up the whole place as bright as daytime. All the familiar faces are here, plus the family's dogs, children who can just walk and babies who can't walk, and parents are holding them. The more sturdy men stood in the front row, pushing the barrier spells of the mage troops, trying to break through their blockade line.

Standing at the back of the crowd, on top of the large wooden box, she screamed at the highest point, "They plan to fix the incinerator, they can't let them succeed!"

While maintaining the barrier, the people of the mage army tried to explain to the people that there were dangerous wanted criminals inside, that the abnormal spirit energy inside might be about to explode, and that it was not surprising when people died in the war zone inside...... But the shouts of the protesters drowned out all other sounds. The barrier was damaged and patched, and in severe cases, cracks appeared all over the surface, so it retreated and rebuilt, from the edge of the bald turf, all the way back to the tent.

Unable to retreat like this, the mages had to use a harder wall protection spell, and the protesters became even angrier when they were bruised and bruised. At first, someone yelled at the mages who had not fought back from beginning to end, but had just passively erected the wall, "These violent maniacs!" and threw bricks at them.

"This is the style of the government to send so many people to suppress the masses!" Ms. Fang Funo shouted in a shrieked voice: "Lie and don't make drafts! Even the exaggerated excuses of wanted criminals can be said, what else do you dare not say? You are obviously here to protect the incinerator, you are specially coming to silence the voice of the people, and you plan to let the incinerator operate for another thirty years! For the sake of our next generation, we must not let you go!"

The captain really had plans to repair the incinerator, and the wanted criminals were also a lie at the source, but absolutely no one was targeting them.

Naimo raised a hand to his brow to cover the glare that hit, "I seem to see a dean Mi Jiao there. 」

"Two of them. Rick said. There are so many laughing pattern monsters. He only noticed that he didn't see Miss Fanguno. Because he didn't want to see her in his heart, he wouldn't actively search for her, so he didn't notice that she wasn't there.

"If you owe one, it's definitely not a good thing. Naimo shrunk his neck, "Scared! I see Seren!"

A truck is parked on a provincial road, and a group of people get off the body. Seren, too. The men carried a large cardboard box and moved it to the middle of the bald turf and opened it to reveal a television set inside. They began assembling on the spot, connecting the magic generator and bringing in the signal transmission line.

Once the TV was set up, Serian walked over to the barrier and slashed with his sword to cut through an opening just enough for him to pass through, without causing the rest of the group to collapse. He stepped over the opening, and it quickly closed again. The mages didn't react to this, and Sec suspected that they had long been used to the knights cutting their magic like this, and might have already made the structure to be cut when casting the spell, after all, the First Intelligence Department of the Mages was the main unit of the Staff of Light against evil mages, and there were many opportunities to cooperate with the Knights.

Seren walked up to the side of Xi Ke and the others, and stood easily with his hands on his chest, watching the crowd confront the mage.

"Where's the monster reporter?" asked Selen in a low voice. However, the shouting and killing around was too loud, and his "low voice" was actually quite loud.

Seren, as if he hadn't heard, only the corners of his eyebrows moved slightly.

Rick didn't think the knight's sense of hearing was so easily disturbed by the environment. He was sure that the whereabouts of the monster reporter must have something to do with Seren.
