This is the capital of the empire, the military center of the Shadow Fortress, and the center of time and space management.
This is one of the most important links in the multiverse, the intersection of dimensional passages that connect countless worlds. The most critical facility that can easily break through solid dimensional barriers, allowing the empire to descend on any world at any time, is here.
The huge square with a radius of one kilometer is already huge for a temporary personnel transfer port. It is heavily guarded, has a security level of SSS, and has twenty gates to the world that can be opened at the same time. These descriptions are full of people.
There was a sense of solemnity. When it was just completed, my sister even proposed to erect a sculpture of Shandora and I in the square and name the hub after us. Of course, this proposal was later rejected by me in a cold sweat.
Rejected.
Now it seems that the rejection at that time was correct.
Because this square is now filled with things that make people cry: people pulling private jobs, carrying luggage, ticket sellers, selling tea eggs, pancake stalls, roasting corn, selling newspapers and magazines, selling souvenirs, wearing red hoops
There were people wearing yellow hoops and holding small flags, and I also met two people wearing sunglasses who were telling fortunes...
From a distance, it looks like an imperial space hub. Up close, it looks like Tangfeng Bus Station - not as good as a bus station. At least no one is selling arms in public at the bus station, right? Which department does that bastard over there belong to?! What the hell?
What’s the purpose of Wu Geng Liuli stuffing a Gauss rifle in her hand!?
"I feel like it's a bit familiar here."
Looking at the lively scene in the hub square of the Space-Time Management Center with dumbfounded eyes, even my sister, who is always calm and calm, couldn't help but complain like this. You know, my sister never complains!!
"This group of shameful things..."
My head was as big as a fight and I covered my head. I could hardly bear to witness what I saw in front of me. I thought about how good a bunch of iron-blooded Imperial soldiers were back then. Now they were standing in a row outside the waiting area selling tea eggs. They didn't shoot Cicaro in time.
It was the biggest mistake of my life. Now the virus factor of that old bastard has spread throughout the Imperial Army.
"Little brother, slow down!" As soon as I thought about the source of pollution in Cicaro, a familiar voice of an uncle rang from behind me. I turned around blankly, and what I saw was a cool knight-faced uncle in black.
He stopped a shota wearing oversized glasses and started his sinful sales promotion, "Do you want to buy?"
This old bastard doesn’t even let anyone under ten years old go! No matter how precocious a human being is, he can’t start buying things on the street since he’s ten years old, right?
Sure enough, the blocked creature that looked like Shota immediately waved his hands in panic: "No, no, no! Uncle, I'm in a hurry! It's a little early for me to see that kind of thing... that kind of thing..."
By the way, that kid is quite precocious.
"Don't worry, little brother, I have everything here!" Cicaro didn't let go at all, but used his free left hand to take out a pile of things from the satchel on the ground, "Do you like Ultraman? Animal World?
Or the limited edition Jin Ping Mei?”
The young lady's face turned purple: "Uncle! I'm really in a hurry!"
"Okay, it seems you don't want to play," Cicaro calmly took back the CD, took out a copy of the Book of Changes and spread it on the floor, "Little brother, what's your last name and birthday, let me calculate it for you.
Gua!"
"Conan... No, uncle, I really don't have time..."
Cicaro reluctantly put away the Bagua chart again and asked, "Do you want to apply for a certificate? This is fast, it only takes one minute. The second generation ID card guarantees authenticity."
"Please, uncle, if you don't let me go, I won't be able to catch up!"
"Okay, this is my business card." Seeing that the other party was not even interested in applying for a certificate, Cicaro finally scratched his hair and took out a small piece of paper from his pocket. "If I use the invoice to buy cigarettes, alcohol and watches, I can contact you.
I will always keep the truth and will punish you ten times!"
The young man who called himself Conan immediately took the business card with tears of gratitude, turned around and ran away: "Thanks, uncle! I will contact you later... Oops..."
"What's wrong?" Sicaro was packing his satchel that looked like a jingle cat. When he saw the other party turning back, he immediately asked curiously.
"The train has already left," the unlucky Conan said sadly, "There are only two trains back today, and I can't buy a ticket for the next one now."
Who is Cicaro? An old man among old men, an old gangster among old gangsters. He had a good time on the spot and took out a ticket from his trouser pocket...
I led a group of beauties from the back to watch the whole process. At this time, every one of them was about to turn into stone and become a monument.
"If Sister Asida has such brains," Lin Xue looked up to the sky silently for a long time and sighed, "at least they can eat instant noodles..."
"Don't be too optimistic," I patted Lin Xue on the shoulder, "The price of instant noodles has increased recently."
"Eh?"
Damn, isn’t it the time to discuss the price increase of instant noodles?!
"Cicaro you old bastard!!!"
Finally, a thunderous shout finally sounded at the bustling Tangfeng Bus Station... Ahem, in the space-time hub square, there was an instant silence in a radius of more than 200 meters. In the open space in the middle, a certain imperial commander who had just sold a ticket
He wanted to run as soon as he caught the chaff, but in a little while, two figures as fast as cats rushed forward the moment Sicaro took a step. With two loud bangs, Uncle Hei Chao flew back sideways.
Pandora & Visca's joint stunt, a powerful lower kick of 1.2 meters!
Don't wonder why the kick is from the lower part. These short winter melons just straighten their legs and kick from the lower part.
"Ahem, boss, long time no see..."
"I don't see your sister!" I almost vomited out my stomach acid. "Were you the one who sold the goods at the Mars base yesterday? Are you here to cause trouble again today?"
"Isn't this for the sake of economic development to hone my anti-tracking skills...Okay, okay, boss, I understand, I'm going to the solitary room..."
"I think this guy will still be a good guy in the piracy industry after he comes out."
Seeing Sicaro's bleak back disappearing into the square, Lin Xuepi said with a smile.
This girl doesn’t open any pot and lift it!
"Okay, okay, Arjun." Finally, my sister came up to comfort me as always. She rubbed my hair like she did when she was a child and pointed across the square, "Actually, most of the imperial soldiers are still being themselves.
They are coordinators, and you see, not all of those unreliable guys are Imperial soldiers, are they?"
When I looked, I happened to see Laura leading a group of believers selling crosses to the tourists and outsiders passing by. Behind her, two tauren shamans, whose business seemed to be not very prosperous, each held a large rack of ox horn combs.
, the cow's eyes were widened, and he glared at Laura angrily.
I just want to know where the raw materials for their combs come from...
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about these guys."
In the end, I said completely frustrated, which was a complete acquiescence to the happy...chaotic situation here, "For more than a month, these guys have to deal with complex tasks that they have never encountered before. They are too busy, so just treat it as
Let’s let them have fun for a few days starting from today.”
Viska immediately jumped over: "Brother, you are indeed the best!"
"Not including you!" I rolled my eyes at this energetic little girl, "I've heard that I didn't lead my personal guards to sweep through the Fruit Street in the Third Residency during those few days, just because I didn't know who
I said that taking more vitamins can promote development - I said, is it useful for you to take vitamins? I also follow the example of my sister and see how honest Pandora is usually..."
Before I finished speaking, Huesca pouted, pointed at Pandora and muttered: "This guy, I heard he grew taller by drinking milk, and kidnapped all the buffalo herds in Avalon!"
"It's all bulls!" Pandora complained rarely.
Viska immediately raised her head triumphantly: "Because I hid the cow in advance!"
Then it’s Mortal Kombat time for two awkward sisters.
"To be honest, Mu Mu, sometimes I really admire you." After far away from the smoke-filled Pandora and Viska battle zone, Lin Xue came over and teased you, "You were Nightingale in your last life.
Bar?"
No, in my previous life I was just a J-11 with broken wings.
"How long will it take for all the people here to be repatriated?"
In such a joyful (?) atmosphere, it took us about two hours to inspect every facility in the hub square. As soon as we found a resting place, I couldn't wait to ask the person in charge here, Sivis.
"Repatriating the time-travelers is a task that goes very smoothly in the early stage, but becomes slower and more troublesome in the later stages." Pandora's external thinking circuit, Kuronaga Nao's sister Sivis, immediately entered a serious state when reporting on the work, even though
When our general and the general's sister fought just now, she was the first one to become a monument. "Although it seems that our work is progressing very fast now, with thousands of people from other worlds being sent into the time and space channel every hour, it won't take long.
, this speed will slow down, and one-third of the travelers are still unable to confirm their origin, or although they have found their world, they are too remote to reach directly, and we need to establish beacons in the void——
This is the biggest waste of time. If we want them all to go home, it might take another month."
"It's not much more than I expected." I nodded.
“One more thing,” Sivis added, “there are a very small number of travelers who want to settle in Shadow City and have passed the review, or we have actively invited them to settle here after comprehensive consideration, such as Liliannu.
Busujima Saeko and others, although these people have obtained the registration of the world management terminal, the final arrangement is still a problem. Now they are still living in the residence area, but the residence area will be gone in a month. We can't do it for dozens of people.
A foreigner specializes in preserving such a large space, and the most appropriate solution is to let them live together with the existing residents of Shadow City, but..."
But now most of the residents of Shadow City are outsiders, right? In addition to the imperial officials, there are heroes from all over the world. They are not good neighbors. It’s not that these heroes of all races have any xenophobic habits, but
yes……
How can I put it this way, can you accept as your neighbor a king of the hill who transforms into a giant every day and forges iron in the yard, or a blood elf mage who studies arcane energy every day and creates an explosion every twelve hours on average? Maybe?
They are already used to each other, but I firmly believe that others can't stand it.
"Unless there are dangerous species like Saiyans, everyone else will be arranged in the Academy City area," I made a decision after weighing it up, "provided that they do not affect the normal life of the Misaka sisters... Oh, by the way,
It just so happens that if any of those time-travelers are suitable, they can be arranged to teach in my sisters’ school, and then let those Imperial soldiers teach the Misakas. Mikoto will miss me to death the next time she comes here!”
"To be honest, I have been worried about the education of Misaka sisters," Lin Xue frowned pretending to be serious, "Mumu, don't you think the classes they usually take are too rich?"
I scratched my hair: "But they responded very well. Sister Misaka said that her life is very happy now."
"The joy is too much..." Lin Xue shrugged, "In addition to the regular cultural classes, there are also courses including driving Gundam, building mechas, battleship maintenance, quantum engineering, elemental magic, advanced arcana, violin, sand painting, advanced alchemy,
Soulology, shamanic secrets, voodoo, summoning of heroic spirits, ancient martial arts from various worlds, divine arts, marksmanship, ballistics, nuclear bomb manufacturing and maintenance, space magic, cold weapon combat, assassination, poison, etiquette, dance,
"Stop, stop, stop..." I asked Lin Xue to stop quickly with her head as big as a bucket, but the other party completely ignored this and continued to shake her head: "...animation production, 3D modeling, fighter piloting, fire coverage, archaeology
Science, sculpture, flower arrangement, bioengineering, priesthood, cooking, massage, anti-matter weapon improvement, paper-cutting, singing, mind control, introduction to annihilation, shadow energy, spells, black magic... Qianqian also opened it last month
The door has a long history, and there are probably two of the time travelers who can teach the freedom method... Mu Mu, I haven't finished talking yet!"
I admit that at this moment, this body has been transformed into a monument, and everyone can come and pay homage to it.
"There are about two hundred elective courses, and what's more terrible is that, including the previous cultural courses, all of these courses are chosen according to personal interests. It doesn't matter if you can't learn them, it doesn't matter if you can't learn them all, and you don't learn anything.
It doesn’t matter, even if you become obsessed, you only need to send it to the Temple of the World Tree. My God, that military academy has now become a monster barracks and a nursery. Isn’t this kind of life too happy?”
Anyway, Qian Qian must like that kind of school atmosphere, that girl has long since proclaimed herself the honorary principal.
However, I have no intention of changing the current life of the Misaka sisters and letting them live a happy life. This is my original intention. Since the Misakas like this now, then let them be happy. And in my personal opinion, it is so tough.
A military academy is not without success. If you are really serious, it should only take half a semester to study as Clark Kent there. Lin Xue said that it is a "monster barracks" and it makes sense. There were two blood elf great magisters last time.
You submitted an application to me to let your child study. It is said that the application was for the Department of Divine Arts and the Department of Priesthood under the name of Dean Lilina (I want to say Dumbledore), but unfortunately, Lilina was admitted the next day.
Gone...
Speaking of Lilina, I don’t know what happened to that girl. Wandering in another world is probably what she fears the most. Unfortunately, according to Tavel’s final analysis, all coordinates can only be accurately located after the turbulence of time and space has completely calmed down.
Now all I can do is pray for her...the people of other worlds who are under oppression.
"By the way, Ajun, I have an immature idea!"
Just when I was deeply remembering Lilina (...) who had transformed into a beautiful shadow on the other side of the Santu River, Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up and she jumped over.
Wouldn't you say yes?
"Let's preserve this hub!"
In the end, Qian Qian still said it.
"Save it?" I tried to think of Qianqian's possible plans at this time, but of course it was in vain, "What do you want to do?"
Qian Qian lowered her head in embarrassment: "It's not easy for everyone to get together and be so lively. Now that we have all left, it feels empty... If we keep this teleportation hub, there may be people from other worlds who want to come back and get together."
Man... Well, Arjun, I know this is a bit excessive and will cause Sivis and the others a lot of trouble, but..."
It turns out that this is the case, and the element that naturally loves liveliness in my bones has become turbulent.
Although it is a bit unexpected, it is in line with Qianqian's usual character: she is a silly girl who likes everyone to be lively and have fun together, and will be very happy as long as there is trouble. It seems that the more than a month of traveling through the tide has made her happy
We had a great time having fun, but now, everything is about to settle down, and the noisy and interesting visitors from all over the world have to disperse, and Qian Qian feels lost.
By leaving this teleportation hub behind, people from other worlds can come back to gather together, and the joyful gatherings will never end. It's just a little capriciousness from time to time.
"Shandora, is it possible?"
This time, Qianqian rarely thought of executing the plan immediately, but wisely realized the trouble it might cause to other people. This made me feel particularly happy, so after thinking about it for a while, I asked about the feasibility of this plan. As long as
If it's not too much, it's okay to satisfy Qian Qian's small wish.
"Perhaps we need to consider the security issue of civilians from other worlds entering the Shadow Fortress for a long time, but it can be easily solved through technical means and military control," Sandora nodded, "and this plan is not without any benefits - a large number of people from the new world
Coordinates and stable passages are very valuable intangible assets for the empire. Arjun, I haven’t told you yet. In fact, after these time travelers go back, I also want to preserve those world coordinates and space passages. Those things can allow us to
After the conditions are met, expanding the power to an unimaginable scope may take a long time, but it is not troublesome to use these channels to realize Qian Qian's plan."
"Long live!" Qianqian suddenly became excited, "Ajun, Ajun! Let's open a travel company! I've already thought of a name..."
I knew that this girl's crazy thinking was just the beginning.
But putting the travel company aside for now, it seems that I have a good idea...
