But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a voice reached their ears.
Their eyes widened instantly and they looked towards the source of the sound.
It was a young-looking woman with a simple braid and a kind smile on her face. She was carrying a shoulder bag and walked towards them gently.
Wait, no one should be allowed to board this train.
"Oh, you are... hehe, employees of T Company, right?" The woman looked at several employees of T Company and put on a kind but rather scary smile on her face.
“You, who are you? How did you get on the bus?” A level 3 employee of T Company immediately came to the front of the researcher.
"The entire city is shut down for ten minutes just to transport one thing. This is what your T Company and W Company are doing, right?" At the same time, a white-haired man in a coat slowly walked over.
They didn't even see this man before he spoke!
When they came to their senses, they could clearly realize that the man had been standing there, but they just didn't see him!
Several people from T Company felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.
"Ah? This? This is the magic cast for us by Pluto from our band. It is said that as long as we stand still, no one will see us... Although I find magic completely incomprehensible, we are members of the same band after all, so I can only believe it." The white-haired man said.
The people from Company T clenched their fists.
At this point, they have realized that these two people are the ones who were spying on their [perpetual motion machine]!
Several employees of Company T immediately picked up their weapons and prepared to fight the other side.
but--
Just as they raised their weapons, the seemingly kind woman suddenly tore off her face, and her whole body turned into a horrible ball of blood, instantly waving out huge bloody claws.
"what--"
People from T Company will not die.
On the W train, even if they are torn into pieces of flesh, as long as they are still on the train, they will not die. After the train stops, they can recover their normal bodies with the help of W cleaning staff. Therefore, they do not need to be afraid, they just need to frantically stop the other party.
but--
Their opponents, however, are not that simple people.
The woman's eyes were glowing a terrifying red light. This woman, whose body had turned into a ball of blood, tore her opponent apart with ease. Even after the T company employee used backtracking to restore his body, she tore the opponent's body apart even more easily. She looked so skilled, as if she had done it hundreds of thousands of times. In her eyes, humans were no different from pigs and dogs in a slaughterhouse.
"Elena, stop playing." said the white-haired man.
"Hmph, Jae-hyun, you useless loser, don't you feel any pain in your waist just standing there and talking? These damn T company employees are relying on the fixed status of the W train and the time reversal to try to drag us along, like bugs. Why don't you help us?" The Blood Demon tore his opponent apart once again, but the opponent stood up again.
"Want to delay time? Do you want to rely on the [Time Box] in this train to keep going back in time?
Haha, in order to collect time, the bigwigs of T Company installed this disgusting thing on every W train, allowing W Company to collect time, and they didn't hesitate to torture tens of thousands of passengers for countless years...
But——that time box has also been destroyed by me."
"You bastard!?" The employees of T Company were quite shocked and angry about the loss of time.
But soon, their anger stopped working.
A large number of white lines appeared on Xian's body, entangled with the flesh and blood of the employees of T Company, and Xian was like a puppeteer, easily controlling the actions of this group of people.
Once you get tangled up in the thread, you’re done—
After a while, the fighting stopped.
"Elena... [Blood Red Night], the city star that had clearly fallen, why..." There was another employee of T Company who was still conscious and able to speak. He was a researcher at T Company.
Blood Red Night, Elena, is rated as [Urban Star], which means she is the most dangerous existence in the city. She is also the most dangerous [Blood Demon] known to the city. As a city star, her level is much higher than [Urban Legend] or [Urban Evil]. From the definition alone, she is even at the same level as the two gangs of [Thumb] and [Index Finger].
As for the man next to her, who called himself a "band member", he was the "puppet master" who had recently become famous in the back alleys, and his rating was [Urban Nightmare] - of course, after doing something like directly attacking the escort staff of T Company, it was only a matter of time before his rating was upgraded to [Urban Star].
Elena snorted coldly, shook off a group of controlled mechanical garbage, came to the researcher, grabbed it with one hand, opened the box, but couldn't help but her eyes glowed red.
"Damn, it's empty—"
"For an empty box, you stop the entire city's W train for 10 minutes, and then pretend to get on the train? Damn Yi, what a waste of time." Elena was not as calm as she was in her previous disguise, and she behaved quite angrily.
"Hey, trash, come and transform this garbage into a puppet. Just looking at him is annoying."
The researcher struggled, trying to break free from the thread, but he was unable to do so. At this moment, a card fell from his body.
That was the card Zhaoye gave him. Because the researcher admired Zhaoye very much, he asked Zhaoye many questions, and finally couldn't help wanting an autograph. Zhaoye, out of personal preference, directly gave him a card.
He struggled to hold the card -
He didn't know which box the [Perpetual Motion Machine] was in. His memory had been wiped, and he was ready to become a "cannon fodder" and a "smokescreen", but at this time, he still wanted to get the card.
Because this card was something he obtained with his own consciousness, and it was a gift from a peerless genius whom he longed for and admired.
"what is this?"
"do not know."
"Do you want more?" Elena shook her hand angrily.
He grabbed the card, exerted great force, and then with the help of Zaixian, threw the card directly out.
They didn't care about the regulations required by W Company and had already prepared the exit in the W train.
"Ah... ah—"
"Time is urgent. We don't have that much time to play with this train. Stop being your disgusting puppet." Elena snorted coldly as she watched Jae-hyun controlling the silk threads and trying to transform these people.
Hearing her words, Jae-Hyun shook his head helplessly, but he did not take any further steps to reform these unfortunate T Company employees.
The researcher seemed to be unable to make a sound. He could only watch helplessly as the other party controlled them to take out invitation letters one by one, and then sign their own names on the invitation letters...
The gate of a grand library appeared in front of them. Even if they didn't want to go in, they were entangled in silk threads and temporarily controlled, so they could only enter the library like puppets.
A moment later, only Jae-hyeon and Elena were left on the W train.
"It seems that this train is a sleight of hand."
"Need I tell you? What a waste of time. Just for such a broken box, it's useless." Elena was very annoyed, "I was actually played by this damn T company."
"Elena, don't worry. The other members of our band also have their own goals... Even if we don't achieve any results on this route, it's just eliminating a wrong answer."
Yes--
Just as Company T feared.
There are definitely many people in this city who have set their sights on the two [perpetual motion machines] in their hands! And among them, there are also many who dare to provoke Yi and dare to fight them directly!
These two people come from a group of real "madmen" - the Remnant Orchestra.
Chapter 162 Death News and Map
Inside the magnificent library.
As usual, curator Angela and her attendant Roland watched the guests' stories before they arrived.
This time, the story is longer than before, starting from the discussion among the T Company employees in the base, to boarding the W train the next day, and then to being attacked by the Symphony Orchestra. In just a few fragments, a lot of information that can be called "explosive" appeared.
"Hey, this time's guests seem to be a bit unlucky." Roland sighed helplessly, "They were almost forced to sign the invitation letter and then sent directly to the library.
What did that brain-dead accomplice of Canglan Canxiang think of the library as? A trash can to destroy evidence?"
Angela also curled her lips and sighed slightly: "Anyway, they have signed the invitation letter."
"Come to think of it, if that's the case, then if they break free from their restraints, can they choose to leave directly?"
"Of course." Angela nodded, "If you don't want to enter, you can choose to leave directly..."
"Oh wow... But, unfortunately, it seems that they are now helpless." Roland shrugged. "If they were in a normal state, they would definitely be able to easily use the singularity to trace back to themselves and regain their freedom. Unfortunately, now even the singularity cannot be used."
Roland continued, "But... speaking of this, I finally met someone related to that [Link Company]."
“T Company, a prestigious company like T-T, actually chose to cooperate with a little-known, small back-alley company, and even seemed to have given a lot of things to that small company.
When did Yi become so easy to talk to? "
Angela thought for a moment and said, "T Company was originally a friendly partner of Lobotomy Corporation. Before Lobotomy Corporation, T Company had difficulty in applying singularity due to energy issues. Later, after cooperating with Lobotomy Corporation, it developed the TT2 protocol... the thing that caused me pain."
"Ah...ha, that's the one who made you suffer for tens of thousands of years..." Roland felt sweat coming out.
"I don't want to talk about the past anymore," Angela sighed, "Only by finding the Book of Truth, allowing me to become a human being and start a new life, can I forget the pain inflicted on me."
Roland didn't respond.
"In short, the operation of T Company requires a lot of energy. It's not surprising that they are eager to find new partners after the collapse of Lobotomy Corporation." Angela shook her head.
"Ah, but I didn't expect that. I thought that Link Company would become some kind of advanced workshop company... I didn't expect it to come up with something that would be worthy of a visit from T Company."
To be on the safe side, the people in T Company cleared their memories after getting the perpetual motion machine, making sure they couldn't even "imagine" it. They only knew that what they had in their hands was related to the future of T Company, and they wrote down some basic rules and taboos in their notes. When preparing to send something, they only mentioned "that thing".
Therefore, Roland and Angela did not know what they were transporting.
"It looks like it's very likely... a singularity."
"Singularity?" Roland was really surprised. "Can something like this be made? Isn't that scientist named Zhao Ye a specialist in card research?"
"This...is not surprising." Angela shook her head, "I told you before that the Link Corporation's card is similar to the Lobotomy Corporation's EGO.
However, the energy product [enkephalin] that the Lobotomy Corporation advertises and sells is just a product that is used to cover up the truth. What the Lobotomy Corporation really pursues is the light that has been accumulated over tens of thousands of years. "
"So that's how it is..." Roland roughly understood, "So... Link Company is ostensibly making cards, but in fact, these cards are only part of their real research?"
"That's it." Angela nodded.
"A living scientist who can, through special means, create inventions that even T Company is excited about... To be honest, I am increasingly eager to meet this mysterious [Zhao Ye]." Roland said as he subconsciously touched his chest.
Ever since he watched the video of T Company, he felt that the card he hid in his clothes was getting slightly warm.
It is very normal that cards, inventions, and other things that link companies will resonate with each other.
But - the words on this card made it impossible for him to let it go easily.
He really wanted to meet Zhaoye and take a closer look at the card.
During this period of time, he has seen many people who have made cards through their own efforts, but why is it that only he cannot successfully make this card? He is obviously stronger than those people and his emotions are stronger than those people. Why is it that he is the only one who cannot successfully make this card?
He even wanted to ask Zhaoye in person.
"Come to think of it, those two people claim to be members of the Symphony Orchestra, which means they are accomplices of the Blue Symphony Orchestra, right? Roland, do you know them?"
"Uh, no, I don't know her." Roland shook his head quickly. In fact, he knew one of them, but that woman reminded him of many painful things, and he didn't want to mention them. "Speaking of which, since they are accomplices of Canglan Cang Xiang, then the things they are targeting are indeed not ordinary inventions.
Maybe it will be a [Singularity]..."
“But when he was just starting out, he was targeted by Cang Lan Can Xiang. That Zhao Ye might have been entangled and given a headache.”
"If that's the case, then things will be interesting." Angela seemed very interested in Blue Reverberation.
"Oh, my good curator, that's because you haven't met him yet. When you really meet that idiot, your 'interesting' will definitely turn into contempt at the speed of light." Roland directly complained, thinking that Angela should not have any expectations for Canglan Canxiang, "Compared to Canglan Canglan, Zhaoye is still more interesting!"
"Really?" Angela asked back.
"Yes, yes..." Roland said nervously.
The two did not want to quarrel over such an inexplicable matter, and did not say anything more. Since someone related to Link Company came, they were naturally very interested, especially Roland. He had already wanted to read the books of T Company employees to see what the specific situation was with Zhao Ye.
Afterwards, Angela began the reception.
The words are divided into two parts——
While Angela and Roland were receiving the guests, Zhao Ye also received... bad news.
"What? Wex!?" You Zhou excitedly grabbed the guest's clothes and shook him frantically, "How is it possible? Isn't Wex very strong? Wex has a card to protect him, how could he be in trouble!?"
“Youzhou, don’t get excited!” Hei Tao tried to pull Youzhou’s hand away, but was surprised to find that even without the card’s blessing, his mechanical body couldn’t actually pry Youzhou’s hand away. He exerted a little force and finally pulled Youzhou away, and said, “Calm down, do you want him to accompany Wicks!?”
You Zhou slowly put down his trembling hands and lowered his head in silence.
“Huh…Huh——” The person being dragged by You Zhou was a finisher from the Sixth Section of the Second Association, who was wearing a dark blue jacket and equipped with a mace.
He was here to... fulfill Wicks' "last wish".
Some employees looked at the Minister of Welfare, who was always addicted to playing cards and didn't care about other things, in surprise, and began to whisper to each other.
You Zhou is the director of the Welfare Department, but as he said, he actually doesn't know anything except dueling. So when he recruited new employees, he wrote down all the work of the Welfare Department. He would record any employee who could write a high-level "plan". Among them, there was an employee who he called perfect, and that was his "confidant" who had been following him everywhere in dueling performances.
In fact, the person who is really in charge of the Welfare Ministry nowadays is actually that "confidant", a man named Han Qimi. Although he has no name, he is already the acting minister of the Welfare Ministry in a de facto sense.
As for You Zhou, he really dueled in the company every day, dueling with all kinds of people, honing his already very high skills.
We all saw him often and knew that he was easy to talk to. We never expected that he would be so excited today.
"Wicks is You Zhou's friend. He helped him a lot on the road to duel and was also the one who enlightened You Zhou." Lin heard their discussion and spoke a little.
She avoided other people's gazes a little and wiped the corners of her eyes lightly.
