"Da da da--"
In the sand, a squad of gunmen stood back to back, shooting at the surrounding strange beasts. The heavy rain fell in patter, mixed with the bloody sun, and glowed with the color of blood.
"The energy is overloaded and cannot be recovered in a short time." The captain wearing goggles said nervously.
"Continuous attacks cannot be used, the defensive shield is reduced to the lowest level, all immediate devices stop operating, and the repair time is estimated to be two hours." On their wrists, the floating combat AI reported the battle situation.
"Captain, we have no energy!" The team member next to him said anxiously, covered in blood.
They were the elite investigation department of the nearby Forty-seventh City of the Free Camp. They heard that Lin Guang, the agent of the God Camp, was going out recently, so they rushed to investigate the situation, but they were stopped by a group of strange beasts on the way.
As for Asa Akto, who disappeared ten years ago, he has never appeared. Some people suspect that he is dead.
If Akto is dead, no one will willingly obey the orders of Doomsday City, and everyone will want to become a prince who determines the world.
"Beep-beep--" there was a crisp sound, the blue light on the gun flashed away, and the energy was exhausted at this moment.
"Give up the investigation and get in the car!" the captain shouted, and pulled out a long knife. The light from the "source" around him flashed, and the blade suddenly grew one foot longer, slashing the approaching beast.
A tightly wrapped armored vehicle buzzed into action, and the team members waiting in the vehicle reached out and pulled the team up one by one.
However, at this moment, among the dark shadows of the alien beasts, a muffled sound came from the ground. It seemed as if something was knocking under the ground. After a moment, there was a "bang" sound, like a landmine explosion, and an ice-white cabin rose up.
"What is that?" A team member was stunned. He did not expect that a cabin would suddenly appear from under this unremarkable piece of land.
With a "click", the hibernation cabin was suddenly cut open, and a figure sat up.
"That must be the hibernation cabin, there is someone inside!" The captain said immediately: "Save him!"
"Captain, we..." The team members felt embarrassed. They didn't have time to save a stranger hibernating on the side of the road.
With a "click", the captain jumped out of the car and pulled out a metal hook lock with an electronic defense cover. He looked in the direction of the figure and wanted to throw the hook lock.
However, the next moment.
"boom--!"
The surrounding beasts stopped for a moment, and tiny cracks spread across their bodies.
The human figure stood up from the cabin. There was obviously no trace of "Source" in his body, but when he raised his hand, all the strange beasts were shattered as if they were cut by the air.
"...Who is that?" The pink-haired team member swallowed. She felt that the scene of the air shaking was familiar. It seems like she saw it 10 years ago...
The captain looked at the man blankly.
When they walked to the armored vehicle, several people saw a demon fox mask painted with blood-red paint on his face, vaguely revealing a pair of deep dark gray eyes.
"Are you...?" The captain's tone sounded like he was about to cry.
"You have grown up." Su Mingan said, "Yao Wen."
He originally thought that when he returned to Caius Tower, he would be in the ninth district of the god's camp. After all, he was the one who assassinated the Lord of District Nine before entering the intermission, so his position should not change.
But he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he was actually in a hibernation cabin, surrounded by darkness. When he looked at the time, he realized that 10 years had passed.
Could it be that after assassinating the lord of the ninth district, Akto went to this hibernation cabin and slept for 10 years?
"City Lord, where have you been in the past 10 years?" Yaowen looked at Su Mingan, and his emotions collapsed: "We really thought you were killed or captured by the gods' camp - we waited for more than two days. I haven’t even waited for you to come back. I have sent many reconnaissance teams and I don’t know where you have gone. Over the years, Sister Treya and Sen and the others have suffered a lot in order to suppress the news of your absence and prevent rebellion in the affiliated gathering place..."
Su Mingan said nothing.
He also didn't expect that Caiusta's time jumped. From this point of view, he went to personally assassinate other lords at night, and then never returned. He did not show up for 10 years, which caused an accident.
When the surrounding team members heard Yaowen's cry, they all looked shocked. The truth about Akto's disappearance was well concealed by the top management. They had no idea that this was the case.
Akto's reputation has been almost deified in recent years, and the Beacon believers believe in him like crazy.
"I...for the past 10 years." Su Mingan said, "I have been sleeping."
He didn't know how to explain his behavior. Why did Akto sleep for 10 years?
Yaowen was choked by his answer.
"Maybe it's not convenient for the city lord to say, Yaowen, stop being so aggressive." The pink-haired team member next to him said softly. She is Staci. She was a young girl 10 years ago, but now she is tall and beautiful.
"I'm not being pushy, I'm just asking..." Upon hearing this, Yaowen turned his head and muttered.
There was a somewhat damaged shell necklace hanging around his neck. After Feisi died of poisoning, he hung her necklace around his neck. Due to the weathering of the years, even the necklace's rope has faded.
Even after being questioned like this, his favorable impression of Su Ming'an was still above 90.
"Since the city lord is back today, then come back with us." Stacie said.
"Didi." The watch flashed.
Su Mingan suddenly noticed a piece of information. He stared at the message for a moment and said, "You go back first."
"City Lord, where are you going?" Before Yaowen could finish his words, he saw a black shadow flash past, and Su Mingan rushed up to the sky in a wheelchair.
Yaowen suddenly collapsed - if the city lord leaves, he won't disappear for another 10 years, right?
…
Su Mingan frowned.
Just now, AI Yeya successfully invaded and obtained internal information from the god’s camp:
[——Actor died in District 9 after the assassination 10 years ago. He died of physical weakness and his body was kept in the biochemical laboratory of the City of Gods. 】
This was contrary to Su Mingan's guess. He originally thought that Akto went to this hibernation cabin and slept for 10 years. But now it seems that Akto died of physical weakness the moment he entered halftime.
He had to go to the biochemical laboratory to take a look at the corpse to confirm whether it was real.
He rushed all the way to the biochemical laboratory with [Space Concealment], and heard the passing researchers chatting. They happened to be transporting some life-support equipment.
"What do you mean, Mr. Actor? I have been hiding the news of Akto's death for the past 10 years and not letting it out." A researcher said: "If the news of this death spreads, the freedom camp will most likely fall into chaos."
"My lord suddenly came over to pick up the body. I don't know what it means..." the researcher said, "If you ask me, cutting off Akto's head and hanging it at the city gate will definitely deter the freedom camp..."
"He didn't let us dissect the corpse, or even touch it. It kept it frozen in the laboratory. What a waste. A good experimental material, but we can only look at it but not move it." A researcher lamented.
Su Ming'an listened to their discussion and was somewhat certain of Akto's death. He continued to cover the [Space Concealment] and drove towards the City of Gods.
As the setting sun of the bloody sun shines down, the City of Gods looks like a transparent city built on glass. The dazzling floor-to-ceiling glass reflects the dripping broken light and shines like a gem. From the outside, you can almost have an unobstructed view of the city.
Passing by the pure white detection system, Su Mingan arrived at the gate of the City of Gods, and happened to see Lin Guang coming back from the outside with a corpse and climbing up the stairs.
Lin Guang's combat power was superior to his, and he could see through his [Space Concealment]. Su Mingan immediately clung to the wall, used the snow-white pillars to cover his figure, and walked around the pillars to cover himself.
Perhaps because his mind was focused on the ice coffin behind him, Lin Guang did not notice Su Ming'an behind the pillar. He walked up the steps, and at the door stood Yamada Machichi, Violet and others who had been waiting for a long time.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Several people saluted.
Su Ming'an leaned against the pillar and took a sneak peek. Inside the ice coffin was indeed Akto's body, but his eyes were closed, his face was bloodless, and there was even a well-preserved blood-colored cloak trailing behind him.
Lin Guang lowered his head, his white hair covering his ears. Su Mingan couldn't see his expression.
After Lin Guang entered the door, Violet stared at his back, shook her head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the adults would unilaterally identify Akto as his 'best friend' again. It was clear that when he was still alive 10 years ago, Lidu Ignore him."
"Akto is dead, where can Su Mingan be possessed?" Wu Yu, dressed in Dragon Kingdom martial arts uniform, asked doubtfully.
"I don't know..." Violet said.
Su Ming'an walked by silently with [Space Concealment]. Violet seemed to feel something and glanced at him, but did not find his location.
Due to Lin Guang's strong combat power, Su Mingan kept a considerable distance to prevent being discovered. It wasn't until Lin Guang didn't come out of a room on the top floor for more than ten minutes that Su Ming'an quietly approached.
Through the open glass door, he saw the scene in the room - Lin Guang was sitting on a chair, facing the ice coffin, reading the book in his hand.
"Your birthday is December 31st. You usually like to read psychology books and suspense stories."
"You can play tennis and the piano, you like mushroom soup, you like chocolate as a snack, and you like strawberries as a fruit..."
"You like games. I don't quite understand what games are. It seems to be an activity that people liked to play before the Cataclysm of the Century. Sorry, I lack the information to reproduce these games, otherwise I can play with you..."
"You are Lewis... In my eyes, you are just Lewis. I know you who walked with me at night. You are a good person... All the 'players' are back, and 10 years have passed. Why haven't you come back yet?"
Lin Guang kept thinking about it, looking at the corpse, as if the corpse would open its eyes in the next second.
Su Ming'an suddenly understood - it turned out that Lin Guang thought he would wake up in the corpse, so he sat beside him and waited.
However, he woke up in an underground hibernation cabin outside the world.
From this point of view, there are indeed many Aktos...if one dies, the other will wake up...
Lin Guang read for an hour, but there was no movement in the ice coffin.
An hour later, Lin Guang left and Su Mingan slipped in quietly.
He looked around the room - it was full of button joysticks of various shapes and monitor screens across the field of vision. This should be the central control room of the City of Gods, capable of controlling most of the mechanical army.
It was a God-given opportunity, and he managed to sneak in. If Lin Guang hadn't been in a bad mental state today, he would have been discovered long ago.
He stretched out his hand and pointed his watch at a heart-like red core in the center control room: "Yeah, link to the center console."
…
[You are snatching the central control of the City of Gods. Current progress: 1%. Please maintain calibration. 】
[Faction contribution value: 14000]
…
The moment the watch was aimed at the core, the camp's contribution value skyrocketed like crazy, soaring by hundreds of points in just a few seconds.
Su Mingan watched this scene coldly.
He had no idea about Lin Guang. Lin Guang is just too lonely. As long as he meets someone with whom he feels close, he doesn't want to let go, just like when he sees his mother. He desperately lacks friends.
But in his eyes, it was impossible for a god's agent who slaughtered millions of people to be innocent. He is the representative of mankind and the city lord of Doomsday City. Their positions are absolutely contradictory.
…
[Current progress: 10%, please maintain the calibration status. 】
…
As the red light flashed, the calibration progress bar continued to rise, and the camp contribution value soared to 15,000 points.
If he can fully absorb this core, he can exchange it for the purple-level floating cannon.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the automatic door suddenly opened wide. Lin Guang pointed a pure white pistol at him.
"You're back..." Lin Guang said.
He stared blankly at Su Ming'an, who was wearing a demon fox mask, without blinking, as if he didn't see that the central control system was being snatched away.
Countless bloody hoses have been reconnected behind him, making rumbling sounds as he advances.
"I only ask you one question. As long as you answer me correctly, it will be the greatest help to me." Su Mingan raised the Glory Hunt with one hand and pointed it at Lin Guang:
"Ling Guang, are you Lu Shu?"
Lin Guang was startled.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to escape.
He thought he would find a suitable friend.
"So you always thought I was Lu Shu?" He asked, "What would you do if I was?"
"Rescue people depending on the situation," Su Mingan said.
"I'm not."
"Don't lie to me." Su Mingan emphasized.
"I - no, Lu Shu." Lin Guang's tone became colder, and dark emotions solidified in his eyes:
"...Lu Shu has been dead for a long time. I killed him with my own hands."
