Chu Guang, who was sitting at his desk, browsed the forum for a while and happened to see the post posted by the players. Then his face gradually showed the expression of an old man on his subway phone.
Forget about X-16.
What the hell is Nicole?!
Be a human being!
"Yes, it is."
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, nodded her head in a serious manner and said with conviction, "It must be because the mission rewards are too high, so the mission profitability must be lowered!"
"The group of guys I'm talking about include you. You have enough time to play around with them if you have nothing to do."
Chu Guang complained angrily and poked the little guy on the head with his index finger.
"Uh-huh?!"
Xiaoqi, who had received a "blow in the head", let out a short cry of grief and fell into the pen holder on her back in a weird posture. After a long time, she pitifully poked her little head out of the pen holder.
There is no doubt that that pitiful expression is fake.
After spending so much time with this guy, Chu Guang was already familiar with the nature of this artificially retarded person.
Since it was just a wastebasket, I have become quite skilled at pretending to be pitiful and stupid...
The discussion on the forum continues.
Soon another player opened a new voting thread, and the topic of discussion has changed from Guang Ge's CP to Dog Planner's XP. The options are more outrageous than the last. I wonder if it was influenced by the Lagrange Point Space Station.
Inspire.
Chu Guang looked around at the voting options, thinking that he should prepare some antihypertensive medicine in the drawer.
But he soon changed his mind. The discussion was about dog planning. What does it have to do with my manager?
Chu Guang, who was suddenly enlightened, felt relieved in an instant, and even used the dog-planned vest to give a like to the only kind-hearted Yao Yao who spoke for him in the post——
Crow Crow: "Is it too much for you to make fun of A Guang like this? I think A Guang is actually a pretty good person except for being a bit shady at times. 0"
Soon a group of good people discovered this like, and the style of the entire post was reversed in an instant.
Tail:"!!!"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "The tail calls you a good guy!"
Ye Shi: "The case has been solved!! Brother Guang likes big ones! (bad smile)"
The target of the fire quickly changed from the dog to the crow.
And a certain "mastermind" hiding behind the scene was satisfied and turned off the holographic screen, and casually inserted the holographic computer pen back into the pen holder.
Xiao Qi was still lying next to the pen holder with a pitiful look, and whispered aggrievedly.
"Master...so you like bigger ones, right?"
Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.
"I don't know, maybe? I remember saying it before, but actually I didn't really think about it."
There are too many things for him to worry about, and it is inevitable that there will be things he cannot take care of.
For example, his own life.
But now that the Wasteland Era is over, he will have a lot of time for himself in the future.
There is no need to rush this moment and a half.
By the way, not long ago, when Xiao Qi took over the Lagrange Point Space Station, the shelter system that had not appeared for a long time suddenly flashed in front of him again, and handed him the key to the B5 floor of the shelter.
On hand.
It seems that the first generation of managers had already anticipated where the real threat would come from.
certainly.
Maybe that guy didn't actually know about the Celestial beings. He just felt that even the space station at Lagrange Point had been recovered and the Wasteland Era was about to end, so he took the authority of the Lagrange Space Station as the last key.
Unlock conditions.
According to the shelter system, that is the real manager's office of Vault 404.
Chu Guang has been working in the browsing room on the B4 floor and the office in the Alliance Building. Now he can finally move into an office that truly belongs to him.
Of course, where to work is actually a trivial matter. What concerns him the most is another piece of information revealed by the shelter system——
It is said that this place was the last place the original administrator visited before disappearing.
Maybe you can find the "Manager's Log" belonging to the first generation manager of Vault 404 there!
However, Chu Guang did not rush back to the shelter and opened the door.
Anyway, he has already obtained the key. The B5 floor is right there and he will not run away. He is not in a hurry.
Not to mention that he still has work at hand to deal with, and he will soon meet an old friend who has been away for a long time.
As for the secret of the B5 floor, it won’t be too late to reveal it after he gets off work...
…
Alliance Building, in the reception room adjacent to Conference Hall No. 1, a pair of strange guests walked in surrounded by a group of guards.
One of the guests is named Zhuang Lan, who was once the ace agent of the Enlightenment Society, but is now the founder and leader of the Watchmen organization and the gravedigger of the Enlightenment Society.
At this moment, she had removed the clothes belonging to Malik and restored her original appearance.
Chu Guang still remembered the first time he saw her, when she was escorted in front of him by Ye Shi as a prisoner. She looked so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at him.
As for her now, she seems to be a different person. Not only is she much more confident, but her spine is also straighter.
not only that.
The fear that was once written in her eyes has now turned into respect from the bottom of her heart.
What's interesting is that the guy standing next to her is exactly the opposite.
In the past, he was talking in Yi Hai's skin, but now he was like a maggot whose whole body had been hollowed out. His empty eyes were full of fear, and his shoulders were shaking as if he might urinate at any time.
The deity is dead.
The Enlightenment Society died.
He no longer has an organization to rely on and a clone shell to serve as his scapegoat.
When he was put in the center of the stage, he didn't look like a leader at all. He couldn't even speak clearly without a script to read, and he was even worse than an ordinary person.
Not wanting to look at him again, Chu Guang just glanced at that face, then looked at the person standing next to him, and said in a gentle tone.
"You came."
Zhuang Lan nodded slightly, with a hint of piety and sincerity in his respectful tone.
"I'm here to fulfill the bet I made many years ago... If there is no trace of the Enlightenment Society in the Vault 68 disaster, I will be free. If the clues in the administrator's log match your guess, then you win."
Chu Guang smiled faintly and said in a joking tone.
"It seems I won."
Honestly.
He was quite surprised.
At that time, when he made this move, it was just an idle piece that he dropped casually, but he did not expect that it would be this idle piece that would make the final checkmate in the enlightenment meeting.
Not only did she find Vault 68 to find out the truth about the accident that year, she also learned the alliance's methods and united other brainwashed victims to form the Watchman organization.
Unity.
That is the most feared weapon of all oppressors.
Neither the devils on earth nor the ghosts in the sky dare to look directly at the light emanating from this weapon.
"Yes," Zhuang Lan said respectfully, "according to the bet, I came back with the freedom you lent me... From now on, my freedom is yours, and I am willing to be your sharp knife in the darkness."
, at your disposal."
Chu Guang saw the shadow of Lu Bei in her body, and believed that she did not say these words out of flattery or to please, let alone seek some political status.
She comes from the heart.
However, he didn't want her to do this.
That long bleak night was over, and he no longer needed others to follow the torch in his hand.
Including Lu Bei, who has been following him.
He hopes that they will become the light themselves and continue to move forward along the path they believe in.
They will all be torches from now on.
"You misunderstood. My prize was the administrator's log of Vault 68, not your freedom. You have already fulfilled your bet, although you may not remember it."
Looking at Zhuang Lan who raised his head blankly, Chu Guang continued in a casual tone.
"As for your freedom, it already belongs to you from the moment you get rid of the brainwashing of the Enlightenment Society. You don't have to give it to anyone, let alone me."
"But... I don't know what to use it for."
Zhuang Lan's expression suddenly felt a little uneasy, and there was a rare hint of hesitation in his originally determined eyes, and he muttered in a low voice.
"I established the Watchmen to deal with the Enlightenment Society, but now the Enlightenment Society is finished..."
"Then give it another goal, for example...continue to complete the unfinished tasks of Vault 68 and other shelters? Since you have defeated the Enlightenment Society, you might as well try the opposite path to them. Is it really the same?
It won't work as they claim."
"After all, the Enlightenment Society did not fall from the sky. It was born in a specific soil. It is not enough to eliminate it. If the soil that breeds evil is not changed, we will have to face it again sooner or later in the future.
Or many times.”
Staring at those eyes that were gradually brightening, Chu Guang continued with a gentle voice.
"Of course, instead of asking for my opinion, you should actually talk to your companions. Go back to them, the people there need you more than me."
That’s all.
He believed that Zhuang Lan, who was standing opposite, would definitely understand the intention of his words.
After all, she got here by herself.
Just as Chu Guang expected, those determined eyes finally no longer had any confusion.
What she needs is never an omnipotent manager, her freedom has always been her own.
From now on, she no longer has to wait for anyone to arrive.
She herself is the one she wants to wait for.
"Thanks……"
Zhuang Lan clenched his fists with both hands, gave the respected manager a grateful look one last time, then turned around and left.
Guixu, who lowered his head, wanted to sneak away in the shadow behind her, but was stopped by the guard at the door who held his shoulders.
The hand on his shoulder was like a pair of iron pliers, unable to budge no matter how hard he tried.
That ashen face was filled with despair in an instant, just like a newly painted white wall.
"...You won, why bother me? Now I have nothing, and I am no threat to you at all..."
Turning to look at Chu Guang, Guixu's eyes were full of pleading, and he almost knelt down on the spot.
That undignified appearance was not even as good as President Charas, let alone Tire.
No matter in terms of means or scheming, this guy is far inferior to those careerists in the wasteland.
Chu Guang didn't like those careerists, let alone conspiracies.
However, he couldn't help but be curious, where did this guy get the confidence that his bloodline was more orthodox and more worthy of equality than other people in the wasteland.
Just because he was born in a shelter?
And the survivors in the wasteland all jumped out of rocks?
Looking down at the face that wanted to be buried in the ground, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.
"Back then, you hid in Yi Hai's body and talked a lot with me. You also told me... I can call you Gui Xu, or Gui Ling Zhi."
"Now that we are face to face, and I am sitting in front of you, why are you speechless?"
The sound was not very high in decibels, but to Guixu's ears it was like a thunder.
His knees couldn't help but weaken, and finally he couldn't hold back his fear, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"I... damn, I didn't know you knew those people..."
"It's not just the crew of the Pioneer that has blood on your hands."
Chu Guang took out a thumb-sized hard drive from his pocket.
It was given to him by Zhuang Lan before, and had been given to him for some time.
"Do you know what this is?"
Holding the thumb-sized hard drive, Chu Guang shook it in front of Guixu's desperate eyes, and then placed it on the table beside him.
"This is the administrator's log of Vault 68. It also contains some testimonies of survivors."
"Based on these clues, we can basically reconstruct the conspiracy behind the fall of Vault 68... You bribed the looters, asked them to pretend to be refugees to deceive the residents of Vault 68, and then plundered the entire shelter while the latter relaxed their vigilance.
. And you yourself came as the savior, accepted the surviving survivors as believers, and led them to promote your theory of annihilation. "
"It's not just the Pioneer. I can only use the word "too many to describe" the crimes you committed. The Wasteland Era has never been the Wastelanders' fault, but the price of the Prosperous Era. But for the continuation of this long night,
Life, you are indeed 'indispensable'."
Guixu no longer has time to listen to the crimes listed by Chu Guang.
Being able to bend and stretch, he just trembled and grabbed the ground with his head, trying to win the sympathy of Chu Guang as a fellow shelter resident, so that the latter could spare his life.
However, he didn't know that the more he behaved like this, the more contemptuous his eyes would become.
They are all on the verge of death, and they still don’t know what crime they have really committed.
Not wanting to look at this poor boneless creature anymore, Chu Guang waved his hand towards the guard standing at the door.
"Take it down."
The guard wearing an exoskeleton stepped into the door with murderous intent, picked up the guy who was kneeling on the ground like a chicken, and dragged him out of the door despite the latter's whining and begging for mercy.
"No! I beg you, give me another chance!"
"Black box!!! I know the location of some black boxes!! As long as you are willing to spare me, I will tell you!"
"Please-"
Chu Guang didn't look at him again.
He will be tried by the Joint Tribunal of the Community and hanged on the eve of the new era.
That's without a doubt.
No one will forgive him.
Even an ideal city full of Holy Mothers would never hesitate to spare the life of the culprit...
