Endless light shines from the dome overhead, and the sunshine seems extremely luxurious in the gloomy old Dunling. Working here makes you feel full of happiness.
In the central monitoring station of the Broken Dome, Kestrel asked Lan Jade beside him. After they recovered from their injuries, the two of them were arranged here to take on some simple tasks as a vacation.
"Yes, and I have met Lorenzo."
Lan Jade stood in front of the map sand table in the center of the monitoring center. Precision machinery lifted the models up from the sand table. They were all models of buildings. As they rose, they formed a huge map, from streets to castles.
, a circle of buildings rose up and integrated with the map. After being powered on, the symbols marked on them lit up.
After about half a minute of unfolding, these mechanical models were assembled on the sand table to create a complete map of Old Dunling. The heat-dissipating insulating liquid poured out from the pipes to fill the final vacancies, serving as the Thames River on the map.
The whole old Dunling.
"This is the third case this month. They are all related to demons. It's really troublesome."
Robin walked over from the other side holding the cup of coffee. The sunlight falling from the dome illuminated him, which was a bit dazzling, so he raised his other hand to slightly block the light.
"And there's no pattern. We've increased the sensitivity of the Geiger counter, but we still can't catch it."
Lan Jade also had a sad look on her face. Normally, when hunted by the purge agency, the demon couldn't escape for long, but obviously this time the opponent was different.
"Is that why we are looking for Lorenzo? It seems that now we can only rely on this demon hunter to see what surprises he can bring us."
Kestrel also walked over from the side and stared at the map group together.
This was a continuous murder case, but it was taken over by the cleanup agency from the beginning. They covered everything up very well, but they didn't expect that the case would appear again today, and this time it was discovered by the Su Yalan Department first, and it was all Luo
It was Renzo's contact that led them to discover this anomaly.
"It stands to reason that our peeper system would warn us as soon as possible, but this time it was completely silent. It was only Lorenzo who discovered this. This system was developed by the previous director of the Perpetual Pump. If the system is not broken,
If so, that demon has already managed to avoid detection from prying eyes."
Lan Jade slowly said, this is not good news.
The so-called Peeper System is what Joey calls the Predictor. This is not the product of some mysterious power, but rather the black technology from the Perpetual Pump. Like the Snake in the Atrium, it is one of the important systems that maintains the entire purification mechanism.
one.
Relying on the complex underground steam machinery of the old Dunling, the purification agency disguised and placed large Geiger counters in every corner of the old Dunling. The lines were extended along with the steam pipes, and finally sent to the central monitoring station, as if
Spider webs generally expand.
In other words, the entire Old Dunling is covered by countless large Geiger counters. As long as the Geiger index in one place is abnormal, it will be fed back to the central monitoring station to control the entire Old Dunling.
It's a very simple and crude method. The purification mechanism can even judge the direction of the demon's movement based on the time and fluctuation of the feedback value. After the Peeper system was launched, the most troublesome demons that appeared in the old Dunling only survived for a week, or so.
Because it crawled into the furnace pipe of the furnace pillar, the personnel spent a long time investigating the complicated place.
"The enemy who can avoid Geiger counter detection seems to really rely on this demon hunter this time."
He sighed deeply. Although this demon hunter saved his life, Kestrel felt helpless when he thought of this guy. During the operation in Ende Town, every decision made by this demon hunter was like a madman. For this kind of uncontrollable situation,
Things, kestrels always have an inexplicable sense of danger.
Green light flashes under the gaps between the buildings on the mechanical map. This is the normal appearance of the Geiger index. This mechanical map is also connected to the Peeper system, and you can intuitively see the abnormal reaction of the index on it.
Most of the entire old Dunling is a harmonious bright green, with only a few hidden areas that are shiny red, and some areas without any light. They are places that cannot be peered into with authority. Only Arthur is qualified to observe those places.
exponential response.
"Um...Would you like some afternoon tea?"
In depression, Kestrel looked at his watch and said suddenly.
The Central Monitoring Station is an extremely strict place. It will be the busiest when demons appear, but when there are no demons, the work here is extremely idle. After all, demons do not appear every day.
The most legendary experience was when he was appointed as the deputy director of the Central Monitoring and Control Station. During the five years he was in office, the number of demons appearing could be counted on one hand. This old man thought his life would be full of excitement, but he pointed at the map and roared.
, and then thousands of troops attacked the target, but in fact they were staring at this green light every day.
In order to relieve his boredom, this old man began to write novels in his leisure time. He edited the story about the purification mechanism in this steel barrier and finally submitted it to a magazine. Then he became famous with one book and became a famous writer throughout the world.
Do you think this is a happy ending? Although he modified and deleted everything about the purification mechanism, in the end he was still punished for violating the confidentiality agreement.
Normally, he should have been thrown into prison for a few years and then sent to the frontier. But someone discovered his literary ability and was transferred to the scavenger department to mislead people about various monster incidents through newspapers and periodicals. After all, the last public opinion
The person who misled me was so poor at writing that the idiot wrote all the accidents as gas explosions.
"Ah, it feels so good not to be working on the front line. I have food and drink, and I don't have to face those weird things."
The robin also sighed during the leisurely period, but Lan Jade did not join in the trouble with these two people. She still stood in front of the mechanical map, pressing the button to print out the index of different regions at each moment.
But suddenly a red dot suddenly lit up among the bright green, and after a brief pause, the alarm sounded rapidly.
The two leisurely people were stunned for a while, and then rushed to the sand platform, but Lan Jade was faster than the two of them, and she directly connected to the communication channel and shouted.
"An abnormality in the reform index has been detected. The location is...Xuanfeng! The target location is near you!"
The sound was continuously transmitted outward through the machine, and finally reached Joey. Lan Jade's voice sounded from the communicator under his clothes. When he was still hesitating, the detective in front of him suddenly became vicious, and the demon hunter
People also noticed it.
"I think for that kind of guy, the ban on firing guns in the city can be lifted, right?"
This was not a question, because before Joey could answer, the detective set up the Winchester, broke open the glass the next moment, and jumped down the fire escape.
