Chapter 254 Abel the Selector - Day 2(1/2)
A black crow passed by quietly above the square.
It was not noticed by anyone that it existed.
There has never been a shadow blocked by it on the ground.
Even though it was openly placed on the top of the central flagpole, it was as if it was for rest, even if it looked at everyone present with its bright red eyes unscrupulously, it did not attract anyone's attention.
It is like it is invisible, as if it is born as a product that should not exist in this world.
But strangely, it is like an invisible pigeon, bringing a definite message to all the existences on this occasion.
It tilts the balance, it shatters the dam, it guides it, lets the balance be broken by the force on the other side, and forces everyone to get involved in this not-extraordinary civic center.
Then, occupy the best position and watch from the side.
Watching the hell of mankind.
This is its fun.
Human citizens, and NPCs, which are several times more numerous than human citizens, all came to the square shortly after the arrival of the Black Crow.
All functions of cities are like being shut down, and all functions of water, energy, communications, and the functions of the city system are completely stopped.
Even citizens who are unwilling to participate in the event have to be forced to come here.
Among these, including those who are still on the road, no citizen is absent.
As the number of people increases, the empty circular square gradually becomes noisy.
Among them, Wang He is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
He, an impersonal and genuine "informed NPC", wanders around a small area.
With a smile on his face, he picked the person he was talking to, and he could send a group of people away in just a few words, then evacuate and turn to another place.
And at some point, he suddenly stopped.
The conversation will be a little longer than before.
After all, talking to two familiar faces "travellers" who have been in contact with each other will naturally be allowed to lengthen their time.
"Abel? What happened? You weren't..." Wang He said this before, Noniel suddenly realized something and shut up his mouth.
Her gaze unnaturally moved away and looked at the ground.
Like a child who did something wrong, escaping.
Just a few minutes ago, when she was excited to find Wang He, scholar Melikay warned her not to publicly talk about the events they encountered with Wang He.
The relationships they have had with Wang He should also try to avoid exposure.
The reason why secrets have great value is because they are always in the hands of a very small number of people.
She is not stupid, and she does not intend to share this secret about Wang He with anyone other than them.
And Melikay was also staring at her.
"Hold on your breath." She encouraged herself.
Seeing this, Wang He seemed to have noticed something and glanced at Melikay next to him with meaningful glance.
The eyes meet, but they are as calm as the lake.
No slight turbulence.
Wang He was the first to break this calm. He turned to Noniel and said, "Two beautiful travelers are really not good at business! If you have any questions, you may have to wait until the work here is completed and you will be completely free to receive you."
"Don't worry, don't panic. Now, you are the same as everyone present. Please wait, please wait with nervous and excited curiosity, and wait for the arrival of a truly exciting moment."
"This will surely be an extraordinary journey." After Wang He finished speaking, Melikay heard his voiceover.
She ignored Wang He, turned around, took off her antique glasses, and wiped them carefully. She turned her head slightly and said to Noniel next to her: "Noniel, go. Talking to the NPCs that have been set is a waste of time. They will never violate order and rules and inform us of information outside the scope."
"Thank you for your understanding." After hearing this, Wang He bowed to her, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
At this moment, the two people facing their backs were slightly bent.
One person has a stereotyped formatted smile.
One person is a normal contempt of disdain.
But it was NPCs and scholars who were acting like this that made Noniel realize a tacit understanding between them.
Novelty, unusual, and desirable.
Wang He himself didn't feel much. After leaving the two "acquaintances", he once again estimated the number of humans observed so far.
The citizens who came here are close to 80% of the total.
You can move to the next stage.
At some point, he suddenly walked to the square platform under the flag, right there, smiling and silent, showing as if he was about to announce it.
People gradually gathered over. Mars, which had previously been incited by him, had begun to spread and ignite.
"Dear citizens, please let the NPC evacuate and come here alone. I will use a short time to explain the precautions for this event."
Accompanied by the slightest speech and footsteps, Wang He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Dear citizens, this trip is sponsored by the royal family."
Facing the surprised crowd, Wang He continued with a serious attitude: "So, there is no need to be surprised by any sudden form, there is no need to worry. Please remember that you are citizens of this city, and are chosen and favored like lucky ones."
"For this reason, this trip is not only a thrilling journey of mysticism, but also an excellent opportunity to show yourself and climb upwards. Therefore, to ensure your experience, you must participate in the same way as a team. Here, please assign and form ten tour groups. I will verbally inform the selected team leader of the event in the most primitive way. The team leader will personally transfer it to the members."
"So, to ensure the authenticity of the information, be sure to choose the person present you can trust as the leader."
"If non-sponsors want to get additional information from me in other ways, please remember that according to the rules, I am not allowed to make any explanation, and do not expect to get anything from me."
"Above, please form your own tour group within half an hour. The countdown begins at this moment."
Wang He finished speaking with a smile, and then left the original place without looking back.
There is no unnecessary explanation.
No one asked him for unnecessary explanations.
He came so smoothly outside the fortress vehicle in the Citizen Center that the "formerly city lord" did not take away.
He entered the vehicle entrance and sat down near the open door with his back to everyone, leaving only a figure behind.
In the chaos among human citizens, Wang He was looking at the carrier of the city management AI in the car that was no longer active: robotic humanoid.
The essence of this "Notice" publisher seems to have lost its meaning of operation after losing the city lord and the city is abandoned.
After the notification is issued, it stops.
No, nor did Wang He stop his various behaviors and remarks that pretended to be his "messenger".
However, in Wang He's view, it should be "living".
If his guess is correct, this carrier is just out of the line.
Similar to the soul, it leaves the body.
Since it releases the notice, it will inevitably take the next step.
And that condition, or the opportunity, is likely to be: the moment when all citizens gather in the square.
The original notification content, the evacuation and travel of citizens, should reflect its responsibilities as a management AI.
NPC is an existence that cannot act without its duties.
Seeing this, Wang He began his adventure.
He said deliberately: "Pain, or the named 'Lady of Pain', even if you do not exist here, this organism will probably record this message from me. So, when you are lucky enough to read this, as a colleague of the same kind, in a sense, please be sure to listen to one of my requests: Later, if you can act, please take care of your juniors as much as possible within the scope of authority."
"After all, my purpose and your responsibilities are consistent. I hope this group of humans can evacuate safely."
"For this, I will 'struggle like a bug' as the lord and the 'king' of your country' claims! If you are happy to see these, I will let you see something beyond expectations. Expectations and hopes, destiny given by the unknown rather than fixed king, will be more fun."
"Are you right?" After Wang He said that, he saw that the other party did not respond, so he slowly moved and turned around.
He still sat down and did not go to see the humans.
Instead, he stared at the pure white flag.
He believes that it is more interesting than knowing the outcome of the flag, which is blown by the unpredictable wind.
He didn't know, nor did he notice that at this moment, the black crow at the top of the flagpole was staring at him with all concentration.
Then, it suddenly spread its wings and flew.
Below, it overlooks the crowds of people constantly contacting, colliding, discussing and arguing.
It was a large number of tinier insects intervened by a certain bug.
"First, they are given hope, and then they will face despair. So, when their hope is broken, what expression will you have?"
"Yes, I know, it's as pleasant as me, right? Are you deliberately speaking and acting specifically to please me? Fallen!"
"If this happens, just show it to me! How much torch and power can you get in this countless cities that have just burned, and in the chaos?"
"Try your best and struggle."
The black crow suddenly disappeared.
