The world of Tifa Mikiri.
The long polar day finally ended, the "Hills" Nebula completely obscured the brilliance of the two stars, the Ti star ushered in the long-lost polar night, and the continuous rain began.
The rainfall usually lasts for 7 "record months", which is much shorter than the hot and dry extreme day, but it allows the birth of life on the star Di and evolves into a powerful civilization that spreads across the universe.
During this period known as the "Origin Festival", joy is the only theme. All Tifami people staying on their home planet will put down their work, gather friends, and hold various carnival activities.
At this moment, in the redirection hall of the "Psychic Four Variable Model" in the Microscopic Theory Research Center of the Tifami Academy of Sciences, all the Tifami researchers have gone to enjoy their vacation, leaving only tens of thousands of empty seats and a group of people who are still working tirelessly of human beings.
They are members of the human scientific expedition team and are taking advantage of this rare opportunity to have close contact with the psychic technology of the Tifami civilization.
Music and cheers continued to float outside the window, but no one was distracted. In their eyes, they only saw the data structure composed of "lights" in the air, slowly swimming, and the symbols that shot out from it were like mysterious pictures. Every time a "magic touch" appeared in a painting, it would trigger a new round of heated discussion among them.
In the high-altitude monitoring tower, Dr. Xisen, the leader of the scientific expedition team, was not staring at the model variables as intently as he had been in the past few days. Instead, he was drunk and hazy, sitting on the ground with a bottle of wine in both hands, and throwing a bottle of wine beside him. Several empty wine bottles.
Sitting across from him, also drunk, was the intern researcher Little Tridorp who was responsible for receiving the human investigation team. He was once arrogant and rude to humans, but now he is very close to him, and even observed the "four-variable psychic model" of humans at close range. They all turned a blind eye.
"I want to talk about science, Pu Pu Pu," Sisen vaguely called little Tridor Pu's nickname.
Little Tridorp's cheeks were red, he wiped the wine stains from his beard, and said with a big tongue: "We have been talking about science, my friend."
"No, there is no science, you know, countless laws, human laws, your laws, it's like a box with countless buttons, we just use it, you never know what structure is in the box."
"You're right, even the Tifami people don't know."
"Then what should we do? Let's learn magic. How about learning Taoism?"
"Doctor, your faith seems to be shaken."
"Hmm, tell me, would magic and Taoism be better?" Xisen looked frustrated.
"They don't have such troubles as you, those magicians and sorcerers," little Tridorp giggled, "They think they have got the ultimate answer, well, they don't need laws, spells are their laws, and the box contains gods. , there is no truth, only an omnipotent God living in a box.”
"So, it'll be easier for them, right?"
"You are the one who told me that science has no end, and the pursuit of scientists will never end. Cheer up, doctor, you are just drunk and a little sentimental. Oh! Don't forget, we are celebrating the Mass Emperor."
"It's Emperor Mishelian..."
"Any great emperor, humans and Tifami are both winners, haha, let's talk about politics, Xisen, your civilization is the winner, you should go out and shake your shoulders in the cool rain."
"Haha, shake your shoulders," Xisen grinned, "Cheers, cheers..."
He struggled to raise the bottle and shouted, without even noticing that the translator in his ear fell off.
Next, little Tridorp said a lot of words, which Dr. Sisson couldn't understand. Later, he felt that he understood again. Those cheerful words were talking about a bright future.
——————————
Earth, Lower Denali.
The entire city is built against the mountains, and the lowest level belongs to the slums. The high and low buildings grow wildly like weeds, and the haphazardly built shacks spread wantonly like mycelium attached to the grass.
The simulated night sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless lights lit up in the slums, like a nest of fireflies. However, one of the tall buildings was dark and the entire building had been completely emptied.
Inside the building, countless Supervisory Bureau agents in black and blue trench coats were scattered throughout. On the 32nd floor, a combat team affiliated with the Guards was guarding the door of an apartment. Everyone was on high alert and closely protected. A big shot - a close confidant of the Twin Gods, one of the nine people standing at the top of the pyramid of human power, and the director of the Supervision and Enforcement Bureau of the New Order Joint Conference.
In the living room of the apartment, House was still wearing an old trench coat from when he was an agent and a round hat with a wide brim. The shadow covered the twisted and hideous scars on his face.
He silently stared at the wall. There were layers of bright red writing on it, most of which were difficult to distinguish. There was a line high up that could barely be seen clearly, which read: "Take me from existence to existence, bring me from darkness to light, bring me from darkness to light." "I carry from death to eternal life", and there is another line at the bottom, "The eternal torrent always sweeps all beings, passing through two realms, annihilating them in the process..."
This apartment is the gathering place of the Natural Sect. Li Liang came here last year when he was investigating the Natural Sect. A sect figure named Buhe died in the living room, and the way of death was extremely strange. The body was highly corrupted from the neck down, and the head But it remained intact, with a smile on its face.
House took off his leather gloves, stretched out his hand to wipe the writing on the wall, rubbed his fingers, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then walked to the bedroom door and looked through the door.
There were once countless corpses entangled with hands and feet, and piles of rotting flesh and blood. Now they have been cleaned, but there is still a vague stench in the air.
There are simple seats and equipment of unknown purpose placed in front of the window. They were all arranged by Tao Chong when he was investigating the Natural Sect, in order to study the triangular magic talisman array on the ground. Now a thin layer of dust has fallen, which shows that Tao Chong has made it. After Chong disappeared, no one has been here for a long time.
"Is this here?" House asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes," following him was Christopher, the new director of the Denali Branch of the Order Bureau, who said cautiously, "The sky surveillance records provided by the joint meeting showed that Tao Chong disappeared in Mexico City, and three hours later Denali A person with a suspicious appearance appeared in the apartment. We started investigating from where the person appeared, and we have found some clues recently. Yesterday we found that his target should be this apartment, but then the clues were lost..."
House turned around and looked with a sinister expression.
"My people definitely did not leave their posts without permission," Christopher suddenly sweated on his forehead. "And I immediately reported the situation to the Guards commander stationed here afterwards, and they did not find anything unusual that day."
Even though he knew that Christopher was passing the blame, House did not continue to question him. These important locations related to the Nature Sect were originally guarded by the Guards, and the Bureau of Order only assisted. The agents deployed were all on the periphery. The Guards should also be held responsible for this matter.
However, investigating the disappearance of Tao Chong is the work of the Order Bureau, and Sonoya said that the Natural Sect may be more dangerous than Li Liang imagined. Tao Chong is very critical and must be found. Now we finally have a clue, but the clues are broken here. .
Now that Mass has been enthroned, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Liang will return to Earth after inspecting Zar. By then, he will find that not only did the Order Bureau fail to completely extinguish the rioters, but they can't even find a living person. As the director of the Supervision and Enforcement Bureau, he How incompetent?
The more House thought about it, the more irritated he became. He turned around and walked out, his voice leaking out from between his teeth: "Call all the Denali agents, notify Alsleng, and get rid of the 'Khan' people. Within one day, give I turned the Denali inside out.”
"Yes." Christopher followed step by step.
More than ten minutes later, surrounded by many agents and guards, House walked out of the building and took a deep breath of cold air, his inner anxiety not diminishing at all.
In the past, the nine people stood side by side in front of the temple and accepted the admiration of everyone. Now the power and status of others are much higher than him, including Sonoya, who controls all gang businesses. Its importance in Li Liang's eyes is self-evident, but he still ranks second. How can the Supervision and Enforcement Bureau be willing to accept this?
He stood on the steps, silent, and the surrounding agents and guards could only disperse quickly to guard the surroundings.
Suddenly, a slight sound of glass breaking came from the alley not far away, followed by a short "Run!"
Wow~
All the agents raised their guns and pointed in that direction at the same time. At the same time, densely packed armed drones swarmed out of the surrounding darkness, and dense footsteps sounded on the empty street in front of the building. Occasionally, a flash of light flashed, revealing Stealth armor silhouette.
House pushed away Christopher who was blocking him, and saw two figures running wildly in the alley, one behind the other, stumbling.
Just two bugs.
He waved his hands impatiently and turned towards the pontoon under the steps.
boom.
There was a gunshot, followed by the dull sound of a body falling heavily.
"Ah——" a heartbreaking cry came.
House stopped and looked, and saw that one of the two people fell to the ground, and the other did not continue to run for his life, but hugged the body of his companion and wailed.
He shook his finger, waited for the surroundings to quiet down, and walked straight over.
The lights in the alley were dim, the front and rear had been blocked by the Guards, and dark armed drones were hovering in the air.
A man supported his companion as he cried in despair, his hands tightly pressing his companion's bloody chest, but to no avail. Blood gurgled out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at this familiar scene, House subconsciously touched the pocket of his windbreaker.
There was nothing inside.
At this time, the man's voice became hoarse, he slowly turned his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Ghoul, you will die in our hands one day, and all Xi'an's lackeys, you big shots, fuck you, there will always be One day I will be buried with my brother..."
House stared at the man's face and raised his hand expressionlessly.
boom.
The cursing stopped abruptly.
At the same time, his retinal projection showed a communication request from Li Ru.
After being connected, a calm voice came from the earphones: "House, I have just received an order from Mr. Li Liang. From today on, you will serve as the chairman of the New Order Joint Conference. In addition, the rest of the expeditionary force fleet will be withdrawn." When the queen arrives in Hong Kong, there is something very important that I need to communicate with you in person."
"knew."
House hung up the communication and turned towards the pontoon.
For a moment, when he stepped into the pontoon with one foot, he seemed to remember something. He paused and did not look back again.
——————————
Du Yujing.
The Celestial Palace hangs high in the sky like the scorching sun, and the carbon-based biozone is still crowded and noisy. Even though the Central Empire has declared war on the Nordrassil Council and the Pantheon, there is no atmosphere of war here.
As long as Emperor Haotian still reigns over the imperial dynasty, the prosperity of the City of Thousand Cities will be as solid as a rock.
In the shadow of a certain majestic palace, a small figure walked out of nothingness, put the piccolo in his hand into his backpack, scratched his face, and stretched again.
"Captain Teemo," a voice suddenly sounded.
"Yak," Timo was startled and cursed Yodel, "Lyman Blue, you are late."
"There was an accident," Lehman Blue said without revealing his figure.
"The biggest surprise is that you are still alive," Timo snorted and sat on the floor, took off his boots, and shook his two furry feet, "You'd better say something useful, my time is precious."
"Where is your companion, the human from last time."
"I don't have time for small talk."
Leman Lan was silent for a moment, and said in an unhurried voice: "Last time Bond entrusted me to take you and that human into the Tiangong Imperial City, the imperial city was suddenly closed..."
"Hmm, you were taken away, I felt in danger, and then we ran away, Yak, I thought you were dead."
"I also thought I would be secretly executed, but no, I survived and discovered a secret that made me despair."
"Hey," Timo yawned, but Lymanlan's next words made him stunned for a moment.
"His Majesty Haotian is missing."
"Huh?" Timo suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky, "Then...who is there..."
"I think it was Emperor Yuanshi and Emperor Hunyuan who started the war. They teamed up to imprison or kill His Majesty Haotian and have been forging His will."
"How is this possible? Emperor Haotian is the most powerful magician in the spiritual world."
"Yes, under normal circumstances, even if they join forces, they will not be able to defeat His Majesty Haotian in the Imperial City of Tiangong. But I once detected a breath of void life in the imperial city. I think they used external forces."
"The Void... Lord of the Void..." Timo murmured, "Harlan Potter... this war..."
Lyman Blue's voice came again: "Captain Timo, no matter what you thought, the situation is worse than you expected."
"I have to get the news back to Bender."
"No, there is a more urgent matter. A secret meeting is being held in the embassy of the Dickinson and Schuyler coalition in Yujing. I need you to sneak into the meeting place and eavesdrop on their plans."
"Plan? What plan?"
“An Extinction Plan for Carbon-Based Life.”
