Xu Shuo and the two were imprisoned in an office in the municipal building. jump
Probably because there are no cells here.
The office is large and the overall tone is silver-white, but apart from the monotonous sofas, desks and chairs, there is nothing extra.
Very concise.
Simple to the point of being a bit perfunctory.
Xu Shuo came to the desk and tentatively pressed the port screen projector on the table.
It seemed natural that there was no reaction.
The silver-white walls of the office were opaque, and there was no place to open a window, so Xu Shuo looked at it and sat on the sofa to think to himself. jump
He was sent all the way here just now.
Other than the two deputies, no one else was seen in the building.
and……
Just after coming out of Wushan Port.
It seems that there are very few people walking around outside.
In this upper-level area of Mandala City, there are surprisingly few human beings moving around, but because of the advertisements and neon flashing lights among the high-rise buildings, it suddenly gives people the illusion of prosperity.
But in Xu Shuo's impression. jump
There shouldn't be so few people in Mandala City.
He frowned and thought for a moment. Although the memory of his experience in the "Free Night" script was somewhat blurred, he had not completely forgotten all the characteristics and plots of the world.
Mandala City is located next to Huai'an City.
This place was once known as the "Competition City", mainly because of the popularity of the game "Free Night", and an offline game meeting was organized in Mandala City.
So as the birthplace of one of the most popular games in the world, Mandala City should not be so silent.
Perhaps, this is the origin of his mission?
[Main mission: Leave Mandala City. 】jump
Leave such a weird Mandala City.
Of course there is another possibility.
That game is now out of date, so the popularity of Mandala City is not what it used to be.
Hey, wait.
What year is this year?
Has the game been released?
While Xu Shuo was thinking, on the sofa next to him, Maika, who had been knocked unconscious and left there, woke up, and then he jumped up with a start! jump
"Who? Who hit me?!"
Maika squatted on the sofa and looked around with a grin on his face, looking like a tiger pouncing on his prey.
Then he saw Xu Shuo sitting next to him.
"Chris!" Maika's eyes lit up.
"Come here, let me ask you a question." Xu Shuo raised his fingers at him.
Maika walked over curiously.
Xu Shuo lowered his voice and asked: "Maika, do you know which year this year is in the solar calendar?" Yue
Maika opened her mouth to say something.
Xu Shuo then said again: "Keep your voice down and don't make any noise."
So Maika immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, followed his example, lowered his voice, and replied with a weak breath: "I don't know!"
】
Xu Shuo: "..."
But then.
Maika frowned again and thought: "But when I went to the pub some time ago, I seemed to hear someone mention that the new version of "Free Night" "Battle of Dirac's Sea" will be launched in two months."
——The Battle of Dirac's Sea? jump
Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly.
He was about to ask what this had to do with the year.
Maika had already taken the initiative to say: "Then, the year before last, I picked up a promotional poster for "Freedom Night". It said that a new version will be released in 2020, so stay tuned!"
Finally, Maika said with bright eyes: "Then this year must be 1020!"
Xu Shuo glanced at him meaningfully: "You have a good memory."
Maika said proudly: "Because that poster is hanging on the wall of my house now. It's so beautiful!"
Xu Shuo: "..." Yue
Maika then asked with curiosity: "Chris, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I thought I remembered the date wrong. After all, if this year is the release year of the new version of "Free Night", Mandala City, as a competitive city, should be very lively, but we didn't see much outside at all just now. People, don’t you think it’s strange that there are so few people?” Xu Shuo stared at him.
"No way."
Mike blinked and said, "After all, it's noon now. What if everyone is still eating at home?"
Xu Shuo: "…………"
Xu Shuo turned his head away without saying anything.
It's really strange why talking to this guy makes me feel like my IQ is being lowered. jump
Is this also the super power of the new humans? !
Chris is a new human being.
He awakened his innate ability three years ago, but because he knew the world's attitude towards new humans and was at the bottom, he did not dare to expose his abnormality and had always been careful to survive.
Now it seems that Maika also doesn't know the character's new human identity.
After all, this guy's brain is so crippled.
It would be fine if he accidentally said it.
Chris probably didn't even dare to say a word to him. jump
at this time.
Maika suddenly approached him and whispered: "Chris, why do you think they suddenly wanted to arrest you? Could it be that they discovered your identity as a new human?"
Xu Shuo: "..."
Xu Shuo: "???"
I can’t even tell what I’m feeling at this moment.
But there is a saying. The last time Xu Shuo found the script difficult was when he was the witch Qilis.
I really have never been so speechless in my life. jump
There is a saying that goes well.
You are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but you are afraid of teammates who are mentally disturbed.
Xu Shuo now feels that Cheng Can is actually quite good.
At least the alertness is relatively high.
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door of the office. Accompanied by electronic sounds, the door panels that were almost perfectly integrated with the wall automatically opened to both sides.
The woman who had captured them stood in the doorway.
The amber-eyed boy was smiling at this moment: "Oh? New human beings?" Yue
The other party heard the conversation between them.
Xu Shuo was not surprised by this.
Mika's eyes widened in astonishment, he pointed at the woman with trembling fingers and exclaimed: "You, you, you... you really took Chris away just for this! It's just a lie that you accidentally picked up something." talk!"
Upon hearing this, both Xu Shuo and Muriel looked at Maika with unclear meaning.
——Seems like he has some brains, but not much.
Muriel walked into the office.
Immediately, Maika also climbed down from the sofa excitedly, and then opened his hands to block Xu Shuo in the posture of a hen protecting her chicks. jump
"I'm telling you! As long as I'm here, you can't even lay a finger on Chris!"
"Yeah?"
Muriel looked at him with interest: "I'm curious, since you know he is a new human, aren't you worried about what he will do to you?"
"Why should I worry about something like this?"
Maika said swornly: "Aren't the new humans also humans? They are not monsters, and Chris will never hurt me!"
Muriel stood a foot away from the two of them.
Then she smiled and said: "I don't see that your boy has some friendship. It's a pity that you are too stupid. Dealing with new humans is not a good thing in this world. If you catch a new human, maybe Mr. Mayor will be interested in him." I am more satisfied with this trip." Yue
Xu Shuo then raised his eyes and looked at her: "You can't do anything to me."
Muriel also looked at him after hearing this.
The two looked at each other.
"So, what do you say?" Muriel raised her eyebrows.
"According to the new human management system introduced by the Senate in the year 733 of the solar calendar, when a naturally born new human appears within the administrative jurisdiction, the administration should notify the "New Human Evolution and Protection Safety Administration" before taking management measures. "
Xu Shuo finished this paragraph very smoothly.
Muriel was a little stunned. jump
She blinked and wanted to say that she didn't know what it was, but what this person said was so high-spirited!
Xu Shuo continued: "Besides, before you contacted me today, my information had already been accepted by the expatriates of the New Security Bureau. If something happens to me here, they will surely respond quickly. By then, , in this critical period of building an alliance between the New Security Bureau and the Senate, I don’t know whether you will be pushed out as a scapegoat by your mayor."
Muriel: "..."
It seems to be getting higher and higher.
Her expression changed for a while, then she looked at Xu Shuo and smiled: "Well done."
After saying this, Muriel stared closely at the young man's expression.
Then I received a strange look from the other party, which seemed to be a puzzling look like "You are so unreasonable that you don't even know it." jump
But Muriel was still very calm, she just looked at Maika next to her calmly.
Maika's starry eyes looked like adoration.
"Chris, when were you recruited by the New Security Bureau? I didn't even know!" the young man said excitedly.
Xu Shuo looked at him expressionlessly: "Because you have a horn on your mouth, I can't tell you this again."
Maika quickly covered his mouth: "Speaker? I don't have a speaker on my mouth?"
Therefore, Maika, who was completely unaware of the connotation, touched his mouth in confusion and muttered to himself inexplicably from time to time.
…jump
Muriel observed the reactions of the two of them and began to think about it.
She knew that there was a new race of humans in this world.
But little is known about the existence of the New Security Bureau.
According to the information given by the character, Muriel's identity is the administrative secretary of the mayor of Mandala City.
She is responsible for handling various instructions issued by the mayor on a daily basis, and whether it is political power, infrastructure or trade, all matters large and small will be issued through her hands.
With such huge power, her status in Mandala City can be said to be that she can make clouds and rain with her hands.
And Muriel has not betrayed the mayor's trust, and has always arranged things as expected. jump
But all this...
It’s all the character’s own.
It's impossible to write out every aspect of these things in character information.
So Muriel is a little passive now.
She doesn't know a lot of information.
What was even more passive was that the mayor asked her to go to the No. 79 disposal site in the lower district to find an object, but he didn't even tell her what the object was.
Then find a ghost! jump
She never met the mayor from beginning to end.
And this whole city is so weird.
Except for her two deputies, there was almost no staff in the administrative building. Not only that, there were not many active pedestrians in the city outside.
It is obviously such a prosperous city.
At this moment, it seemed like he was forgotten in a lonely place.
Perhaps, this is also the origin of her mission?
[Main mission: Prevent anyone from leaving Mandala City. 】jump
Prevent anyone from leaving this strange city of Mandala.
To be honest, a task of this scope.
It's very easy to have opposing sides.
…
…
Mandala City.
A sky garden in a building. jump
The man wearing a black leather trench coat stood on the terrace, one foot on the railing, one elbow on his knee, frowning as he observed the sparsely populated square below.
He raised his hand and rubbed his chin and said to himself: "It's really strange. As a big city, how can there be so few people?"
Having said this, the man looked up in the direction of the administrative building, his blue eyes narrowed slightly.
"emm..."
"emmm..."
"...Is it because of Dirac's Sea?"
The man who didn't expect the result scratched his hair helplessly, and then looked at the administrative building again. This time, after thinking for a moment, he jumped off the balcony. jump
It’s useless to think so much.
And his task is like finding a needle in a haystack.
[Main mission: Find lost relatives. 】
Thank you for the invitation, I don’t have any information about my relatives.
In this case, it is better for him to send a signal to other players to take action first. The fish must be blown out first before they can be caught.
Since there are very few pedestrians in the city, neon lights are flashing everywhere on the floors and floors.
Therefore, under the gray sky, this falling figure blends well into those gorgeous colors, like a black butterfly flying in the light and shadow. jump
When he was about to reach the "Sky Wall" square, his vertical fall suddenly stopped, and then slowly fell to the ground.
While walking towards the administrative building, the man took out a small machine and then unfolded it into a compact quadcopter.
After tinkering for a while, he released the aircraft.
The aircraft traveled at a low altitude, nimbly bypassing the numerous buildings, and flew quickly towards the administrative building.
…
…
The other side of Mandala City. jump
Just as the man walked towards the administration building.
In a certain sky castle with a building, a girl wearing noble clothes was sitting on a soft sofa. She looked at the picture projected on the wall, her golden eyes slightly dazed.
"Does this idiot not know that there is intelligence monitoring in the sky?"
"Or is it knowingly committing the crime?"
The intelligent brain does not use human eyesight to capture targets.
It directly scans and tracks physical quantities and movements. It can be said that even if a man only raises his hand, the smart brain can accurately locate his figure and track it.
so now. jump
The man's every move was played in real time on the big screen, including him flying the aircraft and placing obstacles along the way.
The woman held her chin and watched quietly.
She doesn't plan to take action yet.
Let’s see what other players plan to do first.
After all, this city is really weird, and I always feel a bit uncomfortable and inconsistent.
The huge sky castle is majestic and majestic. It is different from the stereotyped silver-white buildings in the city. The castle has majestic and withered walls, which has a hint of retro architecture and is built to be luxurious and luxurious.
But except for the housekeeper who stood motionless beside him, she was the only one in the whole castle. jump
And this place.
It is the territory of the Hafed family.
…
