Especially after seeing Xiao Xiao's gloomy face after communicating with Ye Di City and Lin Bo secretly laughing, but she also carefully considered the matter, but found that she could not stop anything. After all, Xiao Xiao
The fourth element Xiao needed was indeed in Ye Di City, and after communicating with Mr. Ye, even though she was a little worried, she no longer planned to stop anything.
The old president may have hidden something in some places, and Xiao Xiao also had some things that he didn't expect.
However, the Noah plan needs to be completed from any perspective, and the desire to take everyone away is unmistakable.
Therefore, when she saw that Xiao Xiao was already thinking about how to go to Yedi City, she only put forward three conditions:
First, try not to use force to solve problems.
Second, if you want to use force to solve the problem, don't kill people.
Third, if a human life is involved, don’t destroy the entire Yedi City.
At first hearing the three suggestions put forward by Yang Jia, Lin Bo seemed a little confused, but he thought about it carefully, especially when he thought about Xiao Xiao's expressionless expression when he detonated the bomb and killed hundreds of members of the hell organization.
The appearance, and I deeply believe it.
I just want to teach Ye Di City a lesson, and I don’t want to destroy the city...
Now Xiao Xiao is the new president of Black Gate City. Although he positions himself as a puppet, at least Mr. Ye and Yang Jia, the two people who are qualified to pull the strings behind the puppet, have given Xiao Xiao a lot of attention in many places.
Xiao Xiao had great respect for him. At this time, Yang Jia expressed his approval. Mr. Ye would never interfere with Xiao Xiao's decision for no reason. Therefore, the business trip was settled.
Even Mr. Ye set up a file on this matter and kept it without Xiao Xiao's knowledge.
[Event Definition: Friendly exchanges between Black Gate City and the Stranger Organization of Night End City in the same city]
[Purpose of communication: Obtain A-level special items without extinguishing the heart]
[Danger level: A level (for the opponent)]
[Participating personnel: Xiao Xiao (president), Xiao Si (president’s secretary), Lin Bo and his staff (non-staff support)]
【……】
The selection of personnel for this business trip was the result of discussions between Xiao Xiao, Yang Jia and Mr. Ye.
For today's Black Gate City, after winning the confrontation with the Hell Organization, it is actually a very important period of development. The defeat of the Hell Organization allowed Black Gate City to gain a lot of resources and a very stable environment.
Newcomers will also appear in large numbers. The strangers in Black Gate City need to find and guide these newcomers so that they can become the fresh blood of the strangers.
Therefore, the knights of Black Gate City and Ruan Ruan are not allowed to be idle.
Today, Ruanruan has become a real intensive mentor in name, and will soon have people under his own command. Sister Da She and Qiao Di Lao Zhou also need to train more new people to create a good foundation for the further development of Black Gate City.
and conditions.
As for Yang Jia, she needs to stay in Heimen City to provide force guarantee for the stable development of Heimen City.
Of course, she didn't think so at first, and was planning to pack her things and go on this business trip with Xiao Xiao.
However, after Mr. Ye talked to her once, she was convinced to stay in Black Gate City.
Xiao Xiao didn't know what the two people were whispering about. When Yang Jiagang returned to Black Gate City, she had a very good relationship with Mr. Ye, until she was cheated by Mr. Ye once and she was so angry that she didn't even want to answer his call. But
After the invasion of the Hell Organization, the relationship between the two seemed to have been restored. Many times, she could be seen solemnly talking on the phone with Mr. Ye throughout the day, chatting about many things.
In the case of Mr. Ye, some necessary investigations and preparations need to be made for the old president’s Noah plan.
Of course, these investigations overlap with Xiao Xiao's investigations to a certain extent.
But at this moment, everyone has a tacit understanding and is conducting separate investigations for the time being. Whether it is necessary to exchange information afterwards will depend on the specific situation.
After all, Mr. Ye also understands that when Xiao Xiao comes back, it will probably be the time when the Noah plan will be officially launched.
For this reason, those who went on a business trip only chose Xiao Xiao and Xiao Si.
There were only two of them going to Ye Di City, which was very unfriendly to outsiders. Leng Buding seemed a bit small, but even Yang Jia couldn't help but say during the exchange with Ruan Ruan: "Obviously, our servant,
Is it just a three-stage enhancement, or is it the Insight route that seems to lack the ability to fight, but why, in this exchange, are we worried about Night End City?"
As for Xiao Xiao, he also made several preparations before going on a business trip.
The first preparation is to arrange the daily operation and security work of the bar under your control.
After understanding his specialness, Xiao Xiao had to consider that he would no longer be so careless about money in the future.
If it turns out that you are also an aborigine, you will need a source of income when you return to life.
This matter is not difficult. First of all, the bar is backed by a big force like the Pink Girls Gang. Secondly, he now has his own direct butler, the underground boss who would rather wear a pink girl uniform in order to follow him.
You can help yourself run the bar.
Another thing is your own special items.
Special items are actually a kind of strengthening element within the city, but they are more specific.
However, according to different carriers, strengthening elements can be divided into three categories:
One is the invisible elements, such as the factor of violence, the eye of insight, etc.
Such elements often only need to be parasitic on strangers, and they can be used whenever they want according to their own wishes.
The second is that it is parasitic on some special item.
Just like Xiaosi's belt, soft whip, and Xiao Xiao's bloodthirsty pistol.
Such elements can be carried with you at any time and taken out when you want to use them, which is also more convenient.
But the third category is a bit special. From the city's perspective, they are living creatures.
And it is this third category that has the most people.
Just like the three dogs of thorns and the messengers of hell, from the perspective of a stranger, they are alive. Although they are definitely centered on their owners, they also have their own will. Xiao Xiao can summon them to him at any time in Black Gate City.
, but if he leaves Black Gate City and encounters a problem, Xiao Xiao is not sure whether they can appear in front of him in time.
Regarding this point, Xiao Xiao talked to Yang Jia and made sure that no one else had encountered this kind of problem.
Something was slightly confirmed in my mind:
"Perhaps this is evidence that summoned special things are essentially fantasy creatures?"
"Only things that exist in one's own spiritual world will ignore spatial distance and be summoned to oneself anytime and anywhere!"
"..."
Of course, this is just a temporary guess, and you won’t know until you try it yourself.
Of course, the most special one is the record player lady.
Regarding this mysterious thing, Xiao Xiao was sure that she was anything but simple, and it might even have something to do with his past.
And she is a more special thing. After all, its body is on the second floor of his neighbor's house. Xiao Xiao cannot enter other people's homes and take this record player with him to Night City, and it seems that he cannot be like the Dog of Thorns or the Butcher.
It was also summoned to him from a distance, so Xiao Xiao was helpless towards it. He could only think of giving it a try after arriving at Yedi City and seeing what the result would be.
There must be one sentence to explain, so after thinking about it, he could only silently give her an instruction: "Work hard."
"When I come back, I hope to see that you have completed your own strengthening."
"..."
"..."
"President Xiao, we are all old friends with more than 100,000 points. This time we will help you find the fourth element. We are also volunteering to help. And when we arrive at Night City, we will generously share all the information and information with you.
Dante’s connections…”
Before leaving, Lin Bo approached Xiao Xiao seriously: "So, the travel, food and lodging expenses for this trip are covered, right?"
We are preparing mystical elements related to the fourth stage of the clairvoyant.
We were prepared to have negotiations with a stranger in a city break down or even end up fighting each other...
...and now you come here to negotiate with me about the cost of room and board?
"Don't worry, Xiaosi has arranged everything..."
In desperation, Xiao Xiao agreed.
Xiao Si is his personal assistant, so it makes sense to leave this kind of ticket booking and payment to him, right?
But Xiao Xiao is really curious about the style of Dante's organization. It is such a big organization, but why can it be so short of supplies? The Hell Organization is much more generous than them... I can't bear to think about this.
He thought about that bet. Everything was caused by Lin Bo. If he hadn't been so poor, he would have earned hundreds of thousands of points.
I probably don’t have to go to Ye Di City to look for him myself just because someone else’s lion opened his mouth.
Of course, although he showed a relaxed expression on his face, it was his first business trip after all, and Xiao Xiao was also very curious.
He had seen the aboriginals leaving the city and being thrown into the light rail covered in large pieces of flesh and blood before heading to another city in a deep sleep. In fact, he was very curious in his heart. As a foreigner, he would also enter the world of flesh and blood like them.
middle?
"Traveling between cities is a very dangerous thing."
When Lin Bo asked Xiao Xiao this question, he showed a kind of pride and confidence in his own idea: "Because for foreigners, the city is the place closest to their mysterious source, and it is also the most secure place.
place, and outside the city, there is an endless sea of fog, with all kinds of weird and twisted things, as well as mysterious sources of unknown levels..."
"If the city is our god, then there will be a lot of evil gods and unknown spaces outside the city."
"For strangers, we have to be careful every step we take. We are walking on thin ice. If we are not careful, we will..."
"...could get lost."
"..."
Xiao Xiao became serious when he heard what he said: "Then what are we going to do?"
Lin Bo said with a serious face: "Abide by the traffic rules."
"?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes looked like he was looking at a fool at this moment.
But Lin Bo was extremely serious and said: "What I said is true. The communication between the aboriginal people in the city is like a kind of material exchange, following strict laws and balances. We foreigners are in the city.
Traveling in time does not belong to this kind of material exchange, but if we follow the principle of this kind of material exchange, it will also help us avoid getting lost and protect ourselves during the journey."
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to agree.
Soon, Xiao Si went to book six high-speed train tickets to Night City, all of which were hard seats.
Xiao Xiao originally planned to get a soft seat by himself, but after listening to Lin Bo's advice, he also decided to be more careful, so he did not plan to separate from them and could only sit with these poor people.
In the narrow and cramped light rail.
Things are going very smoothly and everything is ready.
The day before leaving, Xiao Xiao had a meal with his mother and told her about his business trip.
Now my mother knew that Xiao Xiao had changed his job, and she was once horrified that Xiao Xiao, who worked in a bar, could earn so much money. She even asked Xiao Xiao seriously several times if he did anything like being a bartender.
He also advised Xiao Xiao earnestly: "You can have no money, but you can't have no backbone. I won't do that kind of job for a decent kid..."
Xiao Xiao explained several times, but his mother never listened, so the day before he left, Xiao Xiao simply confessed:
"I'm not some publicist or anything like that."
"To tell you the truth, I'm starting to hang out in the gang now..."
"..."
When my mother heard this, she was horrified for a moment, but then she thought about it and let out a long sigh of relief:
"Okay, okay, this job is much more respectable..."
"..."
"..."
When the time came for the next day, Xiao Xiao picked up the backpack he had packed and walked out of the house on time.
As soon as he arrived at the street, he saw that Xiaosi was already waiting for him in a van he picked up from nowhere. Lin Bo, his three men, and several large packages crowded into the back seat.
Get on, and the co-pilot is reserved for Xiao Xiao.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Xiao sighed and gave the order.
Soon the car passed through the city and arrived in front of the light rail station. Xiaosi found a random place and parked the van without locking the door.
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being stolen?"
"What's that?"
Xiaosi glanced at Xiao Xiao curiously and said, "I stole it too..."
"..."
"Thanks to the city's will, it seems that it doesn't care much about crimes like theft, so there are very few points deducted..."
Xiao Xiao thought that he would give Xiaosi some moral education lessons when he came back, so they entered the station together.
Several people's seats were in the same carriage, and they were next to each other. After sitting down, Xiao Xiao kept looking at the aborigines around him. They knew nothing about it. He walked into the carriage with his luggage and sat down crowdedly. Some people said
While joking, some people tilted their heads against the car window and prepared to sleep. The workers on the platform also carefully checked the surrounding conditions until the sharp whistle sounded several times.
The vehicle started to slowly start and gradually approached the edge of the city.
Xiao Xiao did not miss the opportunity to observe the city from this angle. He stared at everything with wide eyes. As the scenery outside the car window quickly pushed towards the outside of the city, all the real things around him were also quickly becoming thinner.
, from real city streets, gradually turned into half flesh and blood, with real buildings on one side, and then suddenly turned blood red the moment they left the city.
The real city has completely disappeared.
Xiao Xiao saw the train he was riding in instantly entering a large area of sticky, twisted flesh and blood intertwined with thick blood vessels and nerve tissue. He looked at everything outside the window, turning into dark red and filled with mist.
Even the earth no longer exists, and only the weird skeletons crawling in the distance can be seen, as well as the huge heart that is constantly beating in the abyss.
It was as if the air had suddenly been sucked out, and he felt extremely depressed. The surroundings were so quiet that he seemed to have completely entered death.
Looking around, I saw that all the aborigines were in a state of complete silence.
What is the purpose of the plutonium bath?
He just leaned on his seat blankly, motionless.
Through the eyes of an observer, Xiao Xiao observed the entire train and found that even the driver in front and the service staff on the car had stopped all activities and were sitting quietly somewhere as if they had turned off their phones. But maybe,
They are not all the same, because Xiao Xiao saw the corners of their mouths and could feel that they had slightly different moods, either happy or yearning.
"Is it because they are experiencing a journey with different emotions in their dreams?"
Xiao Xiao thought silently and turned to look at Lin Bo in the back seat: "Will they be like this during the entire journey?"
"right."
Lin Bo smiled bitterly and said: "They are much more comfortable than us. No matter what they find, there will be someone on this flesh and blood train to take care of them. Even if they need to transfer or make a temporary stop, they don't need to wake up.
In their respective dreams, there will be various details of the trip, and the interesting thing is that at the end, these details can even be compared."
"But we are different. We can only tighten our nerves throughout the process."
"We must pay attention to any changes in the train to ensure that we are not affected by unknown dangers and that we are not left behind."
"So, the journey is the most painful and too dangerous for us!"
"..."
Xiao Xiao remembered it and turned around slowly.
He looked at the dead silence of the carriages around him, the occasional flashing red lights, and the aborigines with different expressions who were shut down.
Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and the eyes of the discerner slowly came out of his body.
One, two, three...
Faintly and swaying, floating in this dead silent carriage.
Xiao Xiao thought hard, and the eyes of the discerner began to overlap each other, and he tried hard to see something clearly.
He once succeeded when fighting against the hell organization.
But this time, he tried hard, and after making many subtle adjustments, everything around him began to change layer by layer in the field of vision of the three eyes of the discerner. He saw something in the distance outside the car window.
That huge mountain of weird flesh and blood, I saw the dark starry sky and the diffuse dark red mist, and I saw the rhythmic squirming where this huge piece of flesh and blood was connected.
But until he used his ability as an observer to the extreme, his eyes suddenly opened up.
Xiao Xiao woke up suddenly and looked around.
The sun was shining brightly, and it was clean and tidy. He saw the passengers around him, sitting neatly in the carriage. Some were holding their children and laughing in low voices, some were scrolling through their mobile phones with their heads down, and some had ordered beer and roast chicken from the dining car and were preparing to meet their friends.
Start a drink.
"Sir, are you okay?"
The female flight attendant passing by seemed startled by Xiao Xiao's sudden awakening and asked politely.
"fine……"
Xiao Xiao shook his head slowly and looked out the car window, but he only saw the continuous mountain peaks and the fields in the distance. The occasional village was located in a patchwork. From a distance, they looked like regular squares. He saw the sky
The clouds seemed to be shadowing the progress of the train, slowly changing their shapes. On the intertwined highway outside, I saw a car passing by from time to time, happily driving into the distance.
"I just think the scenery along the way is quite nice..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao tried hard to control himself, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Si beside him, Lin Bo on the seat behind him, and several of his members.
They all closed their eyes tightly and fell asleep at some point.
But even in sleep, they still pursed their mouths, frowned, and clasped their hands.
It's like being in a strange dream, always maintaining tension and vigilance.
