I will be a boss in the future world

I swam ashore with some difficulty and looked back at the deep blue night sky.

Shafiran's helicopter had already flown away and disappeared.

The city in the distance was still brightly lit, as if nothing had happened.

A cool evening breeze blew from the shore, and Yuying couldn't help but hug her body tightly.

"Hey...it's so cold."

Looking down at myself now, I feel really embarrassed.

Her dress was thin, she was soaked, and she was barefoot. The key point was that her cell phone and other personal belongings were left in the hall. How was she supposed to get back?

Before Yuying could worry for too long, the sound of sirens in the distance broke the silence.

As expected, her location was tracked. It seemed that Tan Suhe had already found her. Yu Ying simply sat on the shore, hugging herself to keep warm while thinking about the response strategy.

It is definitely inappropriate to ask someone who knows nothing about anything, and talking about Su He will probably arouse suspicion.

Suddenly, Sha Feiran's words flashed through my mind -

"As an organization that fights against the power of capital, the resistance should have made its identity public long ago."

"There are obviously other cities in this world, and there are people who are not willing to be oppressed."

"The NPC consortium has its hands full and can only block information and fool the public."

"Their good days will not last long, and people have the right to know the truth."

Yuying exhaled.

"All right……"

"Then I'll help you make your identities known to the public."

The sound of sirens was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped by the road on the shore. Dozens of armed special police jumped out of the car, each holding a weapon, and surrounded the area vigilantly. Then a car followed and a man quickly got out of it.

Seeing Yuying sitting alone on the shore in a dishevel, he walked over quickly.

"Yuying! Are you okay?"

Tan Suhe glanced at Yuying's wet face quickly, then quickly glanced around, frowning and asked: "Where are those people? Where are the people who arrested you?"

"Ran……"

Yuying raised her eyelids slightly, her whole body trembling, "They threw me down here and ran away. Fortunately, I am a good swimmer, so I managed to save my life."

“……”Tan Suhe stared at her and frowned without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, Director Tan."

"I didn't expect... that things would turn out like this..." She hugged her arms tightly, trembling all over, and said, "I am so useless."

Yuying lowered her head pretending to feel very guilty, trying her best to make herself look more like an innocent victim.

Seeing her shivering, Tan Suhe frowned even more. He didn't have the heart to ask any more questions. He suddenly took off his coat, strode over and put it on her.

"I'm glad you're okay..." He sighed, "No one expected what happened today. It's not your fault."

As he spoke, he waved to the special police around him.

The police team immediately raised their guard, put away their weapons, and jumped back into the police car.

"Go home and have a good rest tonight. I'll take you there. These people are from unknown places and their methods are ruthless. You must be scared."

Yuying originally just sat there in silence with her head down, her eyes fixed on the ground. She looked frightened just as he said. Only when she heard these words did she slowly raise her head.

"I know who they are."

"!?" Tan Suhe looked at her in surprise.

"He said they are the rebels." Yuying looked at him confidently, "They are an independent army from another city - District 13 of the Wasteland City."

"..." Tan Suhe said nothing and frowned.

“Have you ever heard of this city?”

"Is there really another city besides Anos?"

Yuying pretended to be confused, but was actually secretly observing his expression.

But Tan Suhe kept his brows furrowed and his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something secretly.

"Okay, let me take you home first. Go back and take a hot shower and change your clothes. Look at how you look now. Be careful not to catch a cold."

After the test was fruitless, Yu Ying sighed inwardly and shook her head helplessly, "I'm fine, just a little confused... They dared to ignore the ESA and attack the upper-class banquet, their identities must be extraordinary."

Tan Suhe said calmly: "We'll talk about this later. Go back first. You'll really get sick if you do this."

"..."

He really knew something. This way of avoiding the question was too obvious. It seemed that Sha Feiran was right. The NPC Foundation had been concealing information.

The warm air was blowing in the car, and the trembling of the body finally eased a little. Thinking of the scenes that happened tonight, Yuying still raised her head with some worry.

"Are they all okay? Zhou Manyin, your family... and those people in the hall... are they all okay?"

Tan Suhe nodded: "Don't worry, everything should be fine. These people didn't intend to kill, they just used hypnotic gas, but it's not clear what their purpose is."

"..."

"Luckily I wasn't in the lobby when the accident happened. I was talking on the phone in the bathroom. Otherwise you..."

As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and looked at Yuying in the reflection of the mirror.

"You were almost mistaken for a terrorist today and killed by an ESA drone!"

"You almost died! Did you know that!?"

"..."

"Without weapons and in an unknown situation, you should learn how to protect yourself first! How could you be so careless and become their hostage?"

Not knowing whether he was truly worried or suspicious of her behavior, Yuying had no choice but to continue pretending to blame herself and admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry..." She pretended to be aggrieved, sniffed and continued, "I feel that as an ES police officer, I have the obligation to protect others. When I saw Jian Canyu being pointed at by a gun, I couldn't help but..."

As she spoke, Yuying lowered her eyes apologetically, "I'm sorry, Director Tan, I was too impulsive."

Tan Suhe frowned, "Jian Canyu? Do you know him?"

"I don't know him..." Yuying shook her head, "I mean, I didn't know him before, I just met him today."

"..."

"I met Zhou Manyin once during a mission. He was the one who lost a lot of money in the casino. I mentioned him in my report. You should have an impression of him."

Tan Suhe nodded, his brows slightly relaxed, "No wonder he came to SDA to find you, it turns out you two have met before."

"Yes, we have met before, but we don't know each other's names. However, he knows that I once hacked into the AI ​​management system... Strange, aren't these cases handled by the SDA? How did he know about it?"

Yuying pretended to be confused and asked the question carefully.

Tan Suhe was silent for a moment, then looked out the window again, "Because in addition to SDA, there is also a chaebol organization that manages the virtual world."

Yuying looked appropriately confused, "What?"

"The operator of the NPC system."

"...!!!"

"They are the founders of the NPC system and the network managers of the virtual world, so they should know about any accidents that happen in the NPC system."

Yuying blinked in surprise, but her mind was already filled with thoughts like a storm.

No wonder all system administrators look like him...

It turns out that his family and the NPC system have such an inseparable relationship.

Then what is Xiaoqi?

There are also the frequently appearing collapsed areas in the system, the baby in the arena, the dislocation bug in the snowy world, Alice’s dream... Are all these related to the legend of the "Dream Maker"?

The super AI system created by their family has always been mysterious and its origin is unknown.

I wonder if this man named Jian Canyu has the answer she wants?

Before I knew it, the car had stopped downstairs of the apartment building.

"arrive……"

Tan Suhe raised his head, looked at Yuying seriously, and said in a soft voice, "Remember to warm yourself up, take a hot bath, and rest early when you go back."

Yuying nodded, "Your coat... I'm sorry, it's all wet."

"It's okay, put it on and be careful not to catch a cold."

"..." Yuying smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

When I got home and just turned on the light, I heard a scream.

"Yuying! What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you coming home like this? What happened?!"

Yuying shook her head. This day had really exhausted all her energy. As soon as she entered the door, she collapsed on the sofa weakly and said to Xiaoqi: "It's okay, don't worry. Help me turn on the heating and prepare the bath water?"

"Hiss...I'm really freezing to death!"

"Okay, okay...it will be there soon."

"By the way, turn on the TV for me."

"Ok."

She moved tremblingly to the edge of the sofa and poured herself a cup of hot water.

The news tonight is particularly lively, reporting a sudden explosion in a hotel.

This is the second serious fire incident in Anos this month.

The last time it was a technology research institute of the Security Bureau, and this time it was a hotel of the NPC Foundation.

As for the cause of the accident, the news still evaded the question by stating that the cause was “unknown and still under investigation.”

Huh... Do you want to cover up everything and block the news?

If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would probably have believed the nonsense in the news just like she did before.

It seems that Sha Feiran's guess was correct. They really didn't dare to tell the truth openly.

Standing in the bathroom, the comfortable water temperature finally took away the cold and fatigue, the frozen blood began to flow again, and the brain gradually became clear.

According to Shafiran, the rebels should have been active in Anos decades ago, otherwise Zhou Manyin's mother would not have met his uncle, let alone the subsequent events. But for such a long time, the ordinary people here actually knew nothing about them.

This shows that such things have been covered up countless times by the NPC Consortium and the Empire, but what is certain is that the top executives of ESA and ES must know something.

After all, they have been in charge of the security issues of the two worlds...

If she said she had no idea, she would not believe it even if you beat her to death.

But what is the attitude of the rulers of Anos and the NPC consortium towards them?

In addition to covering up and blocking...will absolute force be used to eliminate them?

After coming out of the shower, Yuying's brows furrowed even more tightly. She felt like she was unknowingly involved in a war, and her mood became inexplicably heavy.

"Yuying, are you feeling better? Do you need me to turn up the temperature a little more?"

Yuying shook her head, "No, I'm not cold anymore, thank you."

A look of worry gradually appeared on his face. "I saw the news. The hotel where you went to attend the banquet suddenly exploded and caught fire... Yuying came back soaking wet. Did she escape from the fire?"

“Pfft…” Yuying laughed helplessly, “You can also think that I did escape.”

"..."

He was silent for a moment, then sighed worriedly, "I'm glad you're okay. Are you not hurt?"

"No, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Yuying wiped her hair with a smile, and the doorbell suddenly rang.

Strange, it’s so late…who could it be?
