"This gift, or in other words, never dies the heart..."

"What exactly is it?"

After receiving all the points he had been defrauded from, Xiao Xiao did get on the return train without anyone stopping him, until he sat on the hard seat and looked at the exquisite gift box placed on his knees.

, still thinking about this issue silently.

Opening the box, he could see a real heart with fine flames burning on it.

It's just strange that for some reason, this flame keeps burning, but it doesn't burn this heart to charcoal.

The weirdest thing is that even the cardboard box is fine.

But from the perspective of a foreigner, no matter what weird things he saw, they were all reasonable. Therefore, after Xiao Xiao carefully looked at the heart for a long time, he silently closed the lid again.

The Eye of the Insight flew out, and then worked hard to fuse, pushing the Insight's ability to the extreme, which was equivalent to switching his perspective to the aboriginal form.

Then, he suppressed his heart beating wildly and slowly opened the box.

"Wow..."

He suddenly closed it again, calmly, but vigilantly scanning the people coming and going around him.

The hair on my sweat stood up slightly.

From the Aboriginal perspective, this is still a heart.

It was bloody and had been taken off for an unknown period of time, but it still had some activity and a beating heart.

If he had seen the mysterious girl before, Xiao Xiao would have even been shocked by the scene in front of him, because from the Aboriginal perspective, everything he saw was realistic and reasonable, but occasionally due to the influence of abnormal mental power,

Some people may behave irrationally, but everything that exists in reality is in line with the world that normal people understand and the logic of reality...

But this heart is obviously beyond the logic of reality.

Whose heart can be removed, stuffed into a box, and still beating after all this time?

More importantly...

... Xiao Xiao couldn't help but have a big doubt in his mind: "How did I pass the security check just now?"

He forced himself to calm down and think silently.

This weird heart is the key element for me to enter the fourth stage of strengthening.

But, how is it used?

After the strengthening is completed, what changes will it bring to yourself?

He had only glanced at everything about this heart on Bai Cheng's computer before, but the text above did not clearly introduce the function of this heart. Neither its capabilities nor side effects were mentioned. So, if you want to know more

With this heart, I can only go back to Black Gate City and ask the city will of Black Gate City to tell me...or strengthen it directly and explore on my own?

The answer to this question is not easy.

Xiao Xiao still remembered that Lin Bo once told him seriously about the special nature of the fourth element.

Strictly speaking, my current state is the most harmonious and comfortable state in which I can get along with the will of the city, or in other words, the mysterious source of Black Gate City. Black Gate City has given me the greatest authority and trust.

Water does not interfere with river water.

But once you strengthen yourself, you start to take a step beyond the boundary.

How Black Gate City will react cannot be predicted in advance by outsiders.





"Haven't found your problem yet?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xiao turned around and looked at Lin Bo in the back seat: "Why is the Dante organization so unprofessional?"

Lin Bo was already weak, but he became even more depressed when he heard this...

He spread his hands feebly and said, "I really don't know what's going on..."

"I wonder if the guy who distributed the equipment to me deliberately targeted us and took faulty items..."

"..."

"The direction of his thinking is not bad..."

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then decided not to tell him the truth.

When the two parties in Ye Di City cooperated, Lin Bo and others used the threat of shaking the original spiritual power of the entire city to help Xiao Xiao successfully force out the true form of Ye Di City and communicate with each other. However, the

Unexpectedly, the level of this communication was so high that, except for President Cui of Night City, no one else was even aware of the existence of this communication.

The same is true for Lin Bo and others.

They thought their equipment suddenly had a problem midway, and they discussed and reflected on it all the way until now.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao took the initiative to raise this issue, Lin Bo also felt a little guilty. He looked at Xiao Xiao with twinkling eyes and said: "Although there was indeed a slight accident, at least we have helped by this favor, right? President Xiao

Do you think you have to..."

As he spoke, he twirled his fingers with his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I am a generous person. Since you helped me and I successfully obtained the Unquenchable Heart, of course I won't be stingy."

Lin Bo and others did not know the process by which Xiao Xiao obtained the Inextinguishable Heart, so Xiao Xiao could just say whatever he wanted.

But he also had some guesses and said to Lin Bo: "But I am still very curious, is it reasonable for your equipment to malfunction? Could it be that when the influence of elements like yours is too huge, it touches

Destroyed the will of the city and triggered his rejection?"

"This won't happen."

When Lin Bo heard this, he immediately said confidently: "Didn't you see it in your Black Gate City before?"

"Whether it is the invasion of the hell organization or our virtual light, it has not touched the reaction of Black Gate City at all."

"You can understand that the city is a unique living entity that is not on the same level as us, so there are some forces that we cannot imagine that are easy for it, but there are also some things that it cannot interfere with.

, Otherwise, the deformed creatures born in the city will be eliminated with just a thought, so why should we expect strangers?"

"Basically, many of the problems we encountered are confirming this."

"The city's will further affects the city itself through strangers."

"..."

Xiao Xiao silently noted that the Dante Organization is undoubtedly the most professional in the analysis and research of these phenomena.

And after he saw the mysterious source, these principles happened to help him better understand the shape of the city.

"Anyway, although you did not perform well, you helped me after all."

Feeling slightly relieved, Xiao Xiao planned to discuss it with Yang Jia later. Ever since he left Ye Di City, Xiao Xiao's tense expression relaxed slightly. He smiled and said to Lin Bo: "I told you, I am a

You are a generous person, so I still have to give you the reward you deserve. Although I don’t have many points left on hand, I am still willing to give you three...three thousand points."

As he spoke, the pronunciation of the words was emphasized: "As a reward."

"three……"

Lin Bo and others were stunned for a moment. The sadness on their faces was instantly wiped away, and their eyes were shining.

Trembling: "Three thousand?"

"Oh my god, are you so generous?"

"..."

Several team members, in particular, were already crying with joy: "We haven't seen points in units of hundreds for a long time..."

Even Xiaosi, who was resting against the window next to him, opened his eyes and glanced at them after hearing this.

Really, these people are so happy with three thousand points...

If you have hands and feet, you won’t make money by yourself?

Just knowing how to take advantage of our brother Xiao...

Lin Bo, after all, is a small leader. Although he was excited, he did not forget the important point: "There is one more thing..."

"I want to know what you did in Night City..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao looked at his shining eyes and nodded. From the beginning, he had planned to give this verification as a gift to Lin Bo and the others. Now it seems that Lin Bo is not stupid. It seems that he has already

After realizing what he was trying to do in Night City, of course he would give it to him, but he would have to exclude the Aboriginal perspective and the mysterious source.

The two are too mysterious, and Xiao Xiao is not sure what the consequences will be if they are leaked.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's agreement, Lin Bo almost cried with joy: "Now we can finally make a deal when we go back. Regarding the issue of leaving the mysterious guide in your Black Gate City, many people in the Dante organization actually have special feelings for us.

Not satisfied…”

"Alas, although we have thought it over carefully, some hard-liners within us don't understand this at all."

"...You should also be careful in the future. If you meet them, there may be conflicts!"

"..."

"Hardliners?"

Xiao Xiao was also slightly startled and said seriously: "What kind of people are they?"

"this……"

Lin Bo thought about it carefully and said, "That's the kind of person I showed myself to be when we just met but we weren't very acquainted yet."

"..."

Xiao Xiao recalled it and suddenly felt very three-dimensional: "I understand."

"Hey, I'm just getting along with my life anyway..."

Lin Bo asked his men to prepare to listen to Xiao Xiao's account of the first-hand experience based on the research on the aboriginal theory of the old president of Black Gate City and the verification of Yedi City, while Xiao Xiao was thinking about how to avoid touching the key core of the situation.

They were in a good mood. Lin Bo even shook his head and sighed: "It's good that we can pass this level smoothly. If the superiors are not satisfied, it means they are not doing well. But Yang Jia has such a thorn in her side."

The hard-liners wanted to punish her, so she was the first to be punished..."

"Anyway, whatever you want to do in Black Gate City, do it as soon as possible!"

"This world may not always be waiting for you."

"..."

"..."

When the train that Xiao Xiao was on began to return from Night City to Black Gate City, a rare meeting was being held in Black Gate City, or the Black Forest Biological Laboratory, with countless projections intertwined in the empty space.

In the spacious conference room, they all wore masks on their faces. Even their palms and necks were completely covered by black cloth, and only their badges were exposed on their chests.

Only in the center of the conference room was a man wearing a black robe. Different from the mysterious and solemn appearance of the others, although he also covered his face and wore a black robe, his movements seemed cynical. He even wore a pair of shoes on his feet.

slippers.

"Everyone knows why we have such a dangerous meeting."

The projection in the middle spoke in a cold voice with an obviously changed tone: "We have received definite information. Drug tester No. 0 rushed to Night City not long ago, even under the guise of a special investigator of our company.

What does this mean?"

Everyone just listened in silence.

When discussing matters related to the mother body, they are unwilling to say a single word.

To avoid unnecessary information leakage and increase your risk of being contaminated.

But in this silence, he sat in the middle of a huge empty conference room, and was the only person in the room who appeared in the meeting as a real person, or in other words, a shepherd, and smiled and said: "Don't worry about it yet.

So nervous, this time is not about executing a contaminated person, or about announcing some desperate information to you... On the contrary, it is good news."

"I don't know the reason why Drug Tester Zero went to Night City... I really don't know."

"But at least judging from the information we have learned so far, what he did was beyond our expectations..."

"A few things that can be determined are: First, he single-handedly fought against the contaminated armed forces of Night City, and even completely suppressed their ordinary armed forces during the confrontation with the armed forces of Night City alone.

Showed great strength.”

"Second, under some unknown motivation, he helped Yedi City complete the purification of the city."

"Of course we don't know whether this purification is complete, but judging from Ye Di City's reaction, we are simply overjoyed."

"Third, from his traces and performance, it can be concluded that he should have obtained something and returned to Black Gate City..."

"..."

The person who had just forced himself to be silent and didn't want to say a word more suddenly couldn't control himself when he heard the shepherd said these points, especially the second point, and started whispering in a low voice.

When I woke up, there was even some signal instability. Even though everyone covered their faces, a few shocking words could still be heard: "Purification?"

"Can it really purify a city polluted by the mother body?"

"Is there really a way to fight the mother body now?"

"..."

The shepherd was very satisfied with their reaction. He held the piece of paper in his hand and allowed them to interrupt his report with a smile.

"If he purified Yedi City, then the mother body of Yedi City and those messengers didn't stop him?"

After some whispers, a majestic voice suddenly spoke: "Why did he want to purify the contaminated armed forces in Yedi City? What was his purpose in going to Yedi City? Did he have any contact with the mother body of Yedi City?

A direct confrontation of power?"

After hearing these questions, many people immediately raised their heads and waited nervously.

The shepherd raised his head, his eyes under the mask full of excitement: "I don't know."

"..."

Many people were stunned for a moment, and then became very dissatisfied: I wonder why you are so happy?

"The main reason is that the surprise came too suddenly..."

Shepherd smiled and said: "It was so sudden that we didn't even make relevant preparations, so the intelligence work was also slowed down."

But instead of being frustrated, there was even stronger excitement in his voice: "But you people here also understand that it is difficult for us to understand the logic of most of the behavior of those crazy people. Everything they do is reasonable.

Possibilities include killing an innocent passerby without warning, or hypnotizing a multi-millionaire to donate all his money to an orphanage..."

"When we first became aware of the existence of the matrix force, we even suspected that it would seize power and rule our world."

"As you can see, they are actually not interested in power. At most, they contaminate a few powerful people to make it easier for them to do things. But the kind of contamination that contaminates all high-level officials tightly holds the power of a city in their hands.

There are very few things.”

"Of course, pollution is indeed ongoing and will become more serious."

"..."

Having said this, the shepherd paused and said with a smile: "I know that the reason why you give so many resources to the Black Forest and vigorously attack... or their research is to find a way to effectively contain, or

When it comes to ways to purify these pollutions, it’s a pity that there aren’t many achievements in this area. The Black Forest has developed many unexpected weapons, but they all have no effect.”

"These weapons can kill some strangers at most, but they are completely powerless against the mother body."

"..."

The atmosphere in the venue was a bit depressing, and some people even made a slight "hum" sound from their noses, clearly expressing dissatisfaction with this.

The Black Forest and some laboratories with the same function are simply the pride of heaven.

Almost endless resource and permission support is available, but until now, it has not given satisfactory results.

"But who would have thought?"

There was obviously more joy in the shepherd's voice: "There are so many seemingly reliable plans, but none of them work."

"But unfortunately, the abandoned Pioneer Project suddenly gave us such a big surprise."

"As you have seen, although we do not understand the behavior of Drug Tester Zero, his actions have clearly demonstrated several of his characteristics: First, the purification of the city

Ability, this is the goal that you dream of. Secondly, the ability to fight against the mother body, this is the result that although we have no evidence, we can analyze it through their behavior."

"There may be some others, but this plan has been shelved for too long, and even I don't have accurate data."

"However, it is now certain that the Pioneer Project is the only way for us to see hope, right?"

"..."

His voice filled with joy and excitement echoed in the empty conference room.

Of those projected over, some had downcast eyes, some were excited, and some were thoughtful.

"We need to admit that what you said is indeed the truth."

At this time, someone said: "However, Drug Tester No. 0 seems to be an isolated case."

"You can't prove the Pioneer Plan. There are also successful cases where you can find patterns..."

"So, if the Pioneer Project is restarted..."

"..."

"No……"

The shepherd didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted and said with a smile: "Now, the most important thing is not to restart the Pioneer Project. And I don't need to say it, you can also see the background information, 100% concentration of No. 0 agent has been used

It’s over, we can restart the Pioneer Project, but we can’t create another 00-sequence experimental body, so I’m no longer interested in this project.”

When everyone around heard this, they were all a little surprised: "Then what do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is..."

The shepherd smiled and suddenly said: "Is it time for you to ask me to come back and continue to take charge of this work?"

"If you are willing to return this power to me, then I think the second step of the Pioneer Plan can officially begin."

"..."

"..."

"Are you coming back?"

Also at this time in Black Gate City, Yang Jia, Ruan Ruan, and Red Eyes Ling Ping were sitting on the third floor of the Red Eyes Club. When they learned that Xiao Xiao had started to return, Yang Jia's expression was unusually surprised: "This

It only took less than two days. How did he complete the deal directly with those miserly people... He couldn't just kill everyone and just grab the things?"

"I've just been looking for some lightness for two days..."

Ling Ping, who had red eyes, also frowned: "Is this president so efficient?"

"Pa" "Pa" "Pa" "Pa"

During their discussion, Ruanruan kept typing on the keyboard, staring at the screen, his eyes widening and widening, and at the same time he made a "hiss" sound.

Yang Jia hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Ruanruan lowered her voice and said, "How did you tell him before he left?"

Yang Jia frowned and said, "I just told him to keep a low profile and try not to kill anyone."

"Some people from Yedi City said on the forum that he didn't kill anyone...at least he didn't kill everyone."

Ruan Ruan's voice trembled slightly: "But, he alone tore apart the perfect defense system of the entire Yedi City, took away people's unquenchable heart worth 100,000 points, extorted 200,000 points from people, and held him if he didn't give it.

Killing people one by one with a chainsaw, and finally..."

"It even broke people's will to cry..."
