Zhongjing Shangcheng District.
Deep in the temple, the giant metal door leading to the "Heart of Xi'an" opened a gap. Mizuno Sonoya stood alone in front of the gap, folding his arms and thinking.
The sound of footsteps came from far away, and in a moment, House walked out of the door. He was wearing an agent-style windbreaker that seemed to be stained with heavy darkness. Under his wide-brimmed hat, his expression was gloomy.
Mizuno turned around silently and left side by side with him.
When the sound of the giant metal door closing was heard behind him, House stared straight ahead and said, "Number Zero wants me to set up a Bureau of Order branch in Upper Denali to manage the people who have moved up from the Lower City."
"Expected."
"What did it say to you?"
"It's nothing," Mizuno said in a perfunctory tone.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and only the footsteps of two people were left in the dark and silent corridor.
After a long time, Mizuno suddenly whispered: "Li Liang encountered something called the 'Eye of the Void' on the Fuji before. Those who come into contact will have abnormal sense of smell and it is contagious. Zero asked me to search for infected people in Xiacheng District and send them to Come here for it to study.”
House's expression softened a little, and he frowned: "Is it just an abnormal sense of smell?"
"Yes, you will smell a broth-like smell at first, and then the symptoms will gradually lessen and will heal on their own in about three days."
"Do you need help from the Order Bureau?"
"No, No. 0 predicts based on the infectious disease model that the current scale of infection in Xiacheng District has been extremely exaggerated. It's best to keep this matter secret. In addition..." Mizuno tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, "You should do this during this period." Very busy, I heard that the Order Bureau just arrested several leaders of the Discipline Group."
"Um."
"Andrea is by Mr. Li Liang's side, and Activision has close contacts with Robben. Please be cautious."
"You said it too late, the person has already been buried."
"Why?"
The two met their eyes and laughed at the same time.
More than ten minutes later, a side corridor appeared in front of him. House stopped and looked at another metal door at the end of the corridor, dazed.
"The temples," Mizuno said with emotion, "are now turned into a prison."
"Sonoya, will we also live forever?"
"You want to live forever?"
House hesitated for a moment, then slowly confided his heart: "I remember the first time I came here, No. 0 held a meeting for us. After listening to the history of Xi'an, I couldn't understand why the big shots from various countries were involuntarily dismissed. Those people who were bribed by 'Eternal Life' and willingly helped Xi'an destroy the old order, didn't those people think about the risks involved, or didn't they care more about something?
On New Year's Day, when I stood in front of the temple with you, it felt like the whole world was at my feet. That feeling of being so high above me that I could decide the fate of countless people with just a few words... it was wonderful.
At that moment I understood them. Well, I also started to be afraid. I was afraid that one day I would be too old to get out of bed and could only watch myself losing everything. "
Mizuno stared at the door leading to the temples and said quietly: "Seven years ago, when I was in Bay City, Akana came to discuss a hallucinogen business with Yakuza in person. During the reception dinner, I asked him the most addictive tribute. What is the hallucinogen? He told me it was 'Dream No. 1'. After the dinner, he told me that there is another thing in the world that is 10,000 times more addictive than 'Dream No. 1', and that is power. ...House, don’t forget where your power comes from, otherwise, your fate will be more tragic than that of the immortals in the pantheon.”
House remained silent. When Mizuno walked away, he subconsciously put his hand into the pocket of his windbreaker, but found nothing.
Only then did he remember that he had put Dro's badge in the drawer of his desk and had not carried it with him for a long time.

Tifami Federal Academy of Sciences.
On the third day after arriving in the physical world of Tifa, the human science expedition team was finally allowed to enter the Federal Academy of Sciences to start a one-year exchange study.
Although he is devoted to academics, Dr. Xisen is actually very clear that this opportunity can almost be said to have been obtained by mankind with a huge arms order, and it is extremely precious.
On the way here, he repeatedly emphasized to the team members that the Tifami people would never easily leak key technologies involving psychic energy. Everyone must do everything possible, race against time, and discover and study on their own.
Therefore, when the Federal Academy of Sciences sent only an intern researcher named "Little Tridorp" to greet humans, Sisen didn't care.
Facing this young and arrogant Tifami, he tried his best to be humble and sincere, completely assuming the posture of a student.
The members of the scientific expedition team looked at the dean's cautious expression, their eyes full of indignation.
However, when they walked into the 'Micro Theory Research Center', their inner dissatisfaction disappeared instantly and was replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
The unimaginably huge open hall was bustling with people. Tens of thousands of researchers were working together. Each Tifami was surrounded by ever-changing mathematical models, and they were connected to each other by countless flowing data. At a glance, it looks like a sea of bright stars.
In mid-air, the huge structure composed of "lights" is like a living thing, and lines of strange symbols burst out as it moves and changes, and merges into the "sea of data" below.
Standing on a high place and overlooking this scene, Xisen murmured and asked: "How many people are there in your Academy of Sciences?"
"The Federal Academy of Sciences has 700 branches in 17 super-galactic clusters, with about 3 million formal instructors." Little Tridorp raised his face and glanced disdainfully at the old human man beside him, "What you see now It is just the smallest research center in the Tixing Branch, with 20,000 intern researchers and only 4,000 formal mentors."
"What is that?" someone asked, pointing to the mysterious structure in mid-air.
"The four-variable model of psychic energy," little Tridorp replied casually. He noticed that the humans present looked at each other, and he chuckled again, saying to himself, "You humans are still studying classical science, how can you understand it?" What’s the greatness of psionic technology?”

Surrounding the spiritual gate of the Saiad civilization in Nangritel, thousands of dock-type floating ports form a ring, known as the "Dark Spirit Nest", which allows nearly a hundred fleets to dock at the same time. One of the most important aviation hubs in the region.
Here you can see almost all member civilizations of the Federation of Law and Order. At this moment, large and small fleets are entering and exiting various floating ports. Civilizations with different life forms have very different understandings of the appearance, power, and formation of ships. , the most eye-catching thing is still the huge and shiny "crystal" spacecraft of the inorganic creatures.
The human fleet heading to Avalon City to take over the concession docked at the designated berth for mid-way repairs. Among them, the "Diplomat" mothership was damaged in the "Belaiya Vortex" it encountered not long ago and is undergoing emergency repairs.
In the command bridge, K stood in front of the panoramic window with a wide view, silently watching a certain floating port, where a fully organized battle fleet was parked. Judging from the number projected by the pilot ship, it belonged to the Terranza Empire. Guards.
At this time, the captain of the Diplomat, the android Spencer, came to his side and said with a smile: "General."
"explain."
"According to the intelligence we received from bounty hunters, a civil war broke out in the 'Mandosha' civilization, and since 'Mandosha' is an important member of the fungal biological organization 'The One Great Symbiosis', this civil war is about to evolve into' In order to avoid the escalation of the large-scale conflict between the two main camps within the One Great Symbiosis, Prince Mass ordered the Fourth and Sixth Legions of the Terranza Imperial Guards to march towards the Gate of Mandosa Spirituality two days ago. .”
K was stunned for a moment: "Is it an order from Prince Mass?"
"Yes."
"Send this message to Li Liang, and ask the ship repair robot to move faster." K put on his sunglasses and hugged Spencer Ur. "We have to get to Avalon as soon as possible."

One month later, July 12, 3028.
The voyage fleet arrives at Gaius Stolle.
In the command bridge of the Nautilus, Li Liang met with the commander of the advance army Jung Li. Before the meeting began, he casually asked a question: "What kind of place is Gaias Stolle?"
Jung replied without hesitation: "Frozen soil, jars and sizzling."
