"Heartland? Map."
Zhou Jinru frowned. As a member of the faction, Adela was deeply trusted by Dr. Wasim, and it was not an exaggeration to regard her as a confidant. Why did she go to the hinterland of the Western Region under the control of the king?
Ming Yuexin waved her hands down, and a three-dimensional map of the entire melodrama's main plot appeared in front of Zhou Jinru. The subsystem had marked Adela's location. It was quite far away from Zhou Jinru's area. It would take a while to walk with just two legs. All day long.
"Have you ever found out why she ran so far away?"
Ming Yuexin did not answer directly. She seemed to be making some kind of attempt. After a moment, she replied: "According to the objective intelligence collected, Adela and her superiors were invited by the king to go to the Western Region to participate in negotiations, but they did not They didn't get to see the king, it was a trap and they were all surrounded for a day and two nights."
"Does that mean Isabella has already been in the sitcom?"
Zhou Jinru stood up, patted the dust on his coat, lifted his legs and left the river bank. He didn't see anyone in his field of vision. In other words, there are very few people entering sitcoms now, and most of the characters are automatically generated.
"So far, this is indeed the case. What plans does the doctor have?"
"Change your clothes, I don't like these."
Zhou Jinru walked to the side of the road, where a carriage pulling hay was parked. The driver was nowhere to be found. When he climbed onto the carriage, his body became illusory, with countless lines outlined. When it became solid again, he was wearing the classic Rhodes suit. Dr. Shima's uniform, with a black helmet covering his face.
"Ha, Ming Yue Xin, do you really want to have such an exciting time?"
"Only a doctor who wears a helmet is a real doctor. Your field of vision will not be restricted in any way, but others cannot see your face from the front of the helmet. They can only see a shadow."
Zhou Jinru laughed: "Although I say that, I still have to drive by myself..."
Before he finished speaking, the little two-headed man on his shoulder jumped down, stretched his body instantly, and transformed into a long-haired black girl wearing a white coat, and hummed: "Can I drive for you?"
She raised her hand, and Zhou Jinru felt as if he was caught by something. He rose into the air and was thrown into a pile of hay.
The carriage began to move slowly, and Zhou Jinru raised his head with a look of disbelief on his face. One day he would also enjoy the treatment of others driving him.
He turned over and lay comfortably in the hay, holding a piece of dead grass in the corner of his mouth and looking boredly at the gray sky. Thick clouds covered the sun, and only the light shone on the earth.
"Ming Yuexin, what we look like now looks like a... um, cartoon."
Ming Yuexin corrected: "It's animation."
Withered grass slipped from the corner of Zhou Jinru's mouth, and he said in shock: "What did you say?!"
"It's not like I don't understand the coachman gang, or it's a couple's deception. It's just the two kinds. Two people who love each other travel everywhere. Do you want to say this right?"
For a moment, Zhou Jinru was in a state of confusion. Everything he wanted to say was said by Ming Yue Xin. Logically speaking, Ming Yue Xin was a subsystem, and all her records came from Rhode Island, which is this land, but she said it The content was very consistent with his memory, and the confusing feeling made Zhou Jinru feel that it was very unreal.
"Is this problem difficult to figure out? Let's wait until you remember who I am."
Under the control of Ming Yuexin, the carriage galloped along the narrow street at such a speed that Zhou Jinru had the illusion that he was not being pulled by two horses, but was flying at low altitude.
This car is a bit fast...
He carefully observed the three-dimensional map and found that he was heading towards the West Region at high speed. When the distance shortened to one-third, the speed of the car dropped to only half of the original speed, because this was the normal carriage speed.
"It's very close."
Ming Yuexin reminded me.
Zhou Jinru nodded: "Stop for a moment, I have something I want to deal with first."
The carriage stopped slowly. In the haystack, a man in a black coat jumped out. His leather boots stepped on the muddy street. He looked around and found that he was at an irregular intersection with no one around him.
Ming Yue Xin let go of the reins and asked casually: "Where do you want to go?"
"There's a grocery store, a bar, a weapons store, and a police station with no officers?"
The police station is diagonally opposite the weapons store, and there is a police station sign hanging on it. It is very eye-catching and cannot be ignored.
Zhou Jinru walked towards the weapon shop. Mingyue who followed behind said dissatisfiedly: "Do you just want weapons? I can get you the weapons you want. Why do you have to come to a place like this?"
"I want heavy annihilation firepower, do you have it?"
Ming Yuexin shouted: "Why don't you talk about the Void Annihilation Device?!"
"oh?"
Zhou Jinru's meaningful look almost made the girl in the white coat jump up, wishing she could punch him to feel better.
boom!
The man kicked open the door of the weapons store, and splinters of wood flew everywhere. His eyes were aggressive, and he kept scanning the various weapons on the weapons rack.
"It turns out that there was already a rifle in this era, but it was a pity that the etching array was used as the firing component. In the past two hundred years, has the development rate of weapons been like this?"
"have no idea!"
Ming Yuexin folded her arms with an expression that said, "Don't ask, I don't know if I ask."
Zhou Jinru didn't take it seriously. He reached out and grabbed a rifle, looked at it for a few times, dismantled it into parts, and threw it on the counter.
There is a problem with the sight and the barrel. Can such a crude thing really be used?
Bypassing the counter and walking towards the living room where the owner temporarily cooked, Zhou Jinru saw a tight door. Judging from the structure of the weapons store, this door should lead to the basement.
No matter how strong the door was, it was no different from a piece of paper in front of him. After violently breaking the door, he strode down the stairs. There were several boxes of bullets in the basement. In addition to some first-aid medicines, there was a long and narrow door on the shelf. wooden box.
"Generally, if you touch equipment, you can find good things in the hidden room. Golden legend?"
Zhou Jinru reached out and pulled the wooden box over, opened the lid, and found a brand-new rifle lying inside, still smelling of engine oil. He greedily grabbed the rifle in his hand and made an aiming motion.
"You like this thing?"
"The Lee-Enfield rifle is probably an old model, but it is the latest for this era. It was produced in Victoria. One of my operators uses this type of rifle."
Ming Yuexin snapped her fingers, and the lights above her head suddenly turned on, making the dark basement no longer so gloomy.
Zhou Jinru held the rifle with one hand and the close-quarters weapon placed on the shelf with the other hand. He chuckled and said: "Victorian standard saber, not bad, fine craftsmanship. It seems that the owner of this weapons store has a good background. He can It’s impossible to open a store opposite a police station without any background.”
"you……"
Zhou Jinru pretended not to see Mingyue Xin's hesitant expression. After grabbing the first aid kit, he carried a rifle on his back and a saber on his waist, and walked down the stairs to the ground step by step. As he walked, he asked, "How long do I have?"
"The real time is one hour, maybe less. I have monitored that every node is refreshing the scene and preparing for the landing of the actors' characters. You may see some illusory figures and hear some words. That is when the plot is automatically deduced. of redundant data.”
Zhou Jinru nodded, climbed onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, and winked at Ming Yuexin: "Are you lying in the back?"
"snort."
Ming Yuexin's figure quickly shrunk and turned back into a villain, standing on his shoulder.
When he returned to the middle of the street, the weather seemed to have gotten worse. The cold wind blew on him, taking away the heat, leaving only a lingering chill.
"The sky has changed."
"Well, it might still snow."
Zhou Jinru squinted his eyes, it was really terrible. With the level of social development in sitcoms, heavy snow meant that a considerable number of people would be fatally threatened.
When the movie becomes reality, in addition to the evolving main plot, the civilians living here are living people. They have their own lives, and they also have birth, old age, illness and death that they must experience as human beings.
"Don't think about some unsolvable problems. The purpose of the sitcom itself is to pave the way for new movies. The historical events two hundred years ago, the magnificent torrent of the times, the complicated and touching love and hatred, the audience just wants to Looking at this, what they are interested in is a ten-mile foreign market, with feasting and feasting, handsome men and beautiful women, and no one cares about the background, except for the needs of the plot."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "Do you think I would think about this?"
"Of course you won't. You are an outlaw."
"I robbed a weapons store, armed myself with all the weapons I could carry. That's what a true outlaw is."
The relaxed exchange between the two men eased the heavy atmosphere slightly. Zhou Jinru rode the carriage and charged into the blocked Western District. The two horses with extraordinary endurance directly broke through the wooden fence. Since there were no guards, it was difficult to walk along the way. It's extremely smooth.
"Adela faces all automatically generated characters?"
Ming Yuexin looked serious: "I don't know. Logically speaking, such an important plot will definitely take place after the melodrama officially starts. There will definitely be a lot of participants in the hot and glorious part of the third act, but the fact is Isabella alone drove the plot. If the doctor hadn't suddenly entered, I'm afraid no one would have known about her death inside."
Zhou Jinru seemed to have remembered something: "Isabella said that she cannot die in the sitcom, otherwise she will die together in reality. Do you know the principle?"
"Peer body..."
"Peer?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have any more information. The doctor can ask Dr. Kelsey later. She should know more."
Faced with Ming Yuexin's silence, Zhou Jinru chose not to pursue the question and turned to another more important topic: "Is the person controlling Adela now her or Isabella?"
"It's all possible. I'm leaning towards one situation." Ming Yuexin stretched out her hand and stroked lightly. Isabella's name appeared in front of Zhou Jinru's eyes, followed by Adela, followed by Joanna and Kasha, corresponding to each other. Three dotted lines connect the names of the three characters to Isabella's name.
Ming Yuexin continued to explain: "Every time she plays, every protagonist will become a part of her. If we are playing a role-playing game, under the account of 'Isabella', the protagonists she plays will be The character she built.”
Zhou Jinru held his chin with one hand: "Is she a geomancer?"
Snapped.
Mingyue's heart beat up, she slapped Zhou Jinru's helmet, and said bitterly: "What time has it been? Are you still thinking about games?!"
Zhou Jinru was not angry, but said more meaningfully: "You even know what a geomancer is, and I'm even more curious about who you are."
"snort!"
…
…
The carriage galloped forward for some distance, getting closer and closer to the place where Adela was besieged. Zhou Jinru chose to walk there. He first let go of the vehicle and walked to the site of the incident alone, with a serious face that could no longer be seen. A little bit relaxed.
Since the first communication, he can no longer contact Adela and can only observe whether the protagonist of the melodrama is alive through the monitoring of Ming Yuexin.
Now that he was so close, he became extremely cautious and kept running between the bunkers. In addition to Mingyue Xin's monitoring, his emotional perception was also fully developed, exploring every possible hiding place.
"The venue for the negotiations was a church, the Temple of Reason. It was truly spectacular."
Just standing on the ground and looking up makes people feel a sense of reverence. It is located in the center of the city, not far away from the Sega River rushing past. It was once a cultural center and still serves as a cultural center today. A landmark building with historical value.
Zhou Jinru murmured: "Isn't this a Victorian building?"
"No, it originally belonged to Gaul. Londinium itself is a product of fusion."
"That's good. I don't have any psychological burden when I destroy it."
"Stop talking, someone is coming."
Zhou Jinru huddled in the haystack and held his breath. A group of soldiers in red uniforms passed by on patrol. Each of them was carrying a weapon, and the two at the back were carrying rifles.
Ming Yuexin reminded: "Doctor, don't be impulsive. These soldiers are not deaf or blind. They will be alarmed by the slightest movement. Now is not the time to play games."
It wasn't until the group of soldiers had gone far that Zhou Jinru said, "Then I can only use two sabers to cut into the interior of the church from the outer door."
"Don't be like this, wait a minute, the wind is blowing so hard now, they will change shifts soon. After all, the thin military uniforms cannot withstand the sub-zero temperature for too long."
Ming Yuexin's words were quickly verified. There were far fewer soldiers walking back and forth, and even the guards guarding the gate hid inside the church.
"When Isabella asked me for help, I originally thought they would have a fierce battle with the king's army, but now it seems that is not the case."
"Because the Temple of Reason is of great significance to the king, if the factions hold the attitude of dying together, the king will not choose to attack it by force anyway."
Zhou Jinru pondered for two seconds: "Well, in that case, I have an idea."
