Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

When the people from the association arrived, they saw several people who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion and quickly sent them to the hospital.

After that, Xia Jiumeng, Zhao Xinyin and others stayed in the hospital for two days.

So when Jiang Nan came to visit them, he told her some of the truth.

The transfer of the dimensional core this time was a confidential operation of the special command team. Very few people knew about it, let alone the outside world.

The leak of the transfer route made the president feel that there might be a high-level undercover agent inside the association.

She, Zhao Xinyin and others who were exposed to the sight of others now needed to hide their whereabouts, so the association decided to temporarily "suspend" them, which was both for protection and to give the outside world a smokescreen.

Externally, the association must calmly deal with the radical returnees, and internally, the association must secretly investigate and eliminate the hidden spies.

It will inevitably cause some damage, and we cannot spare the energy to protect them for the time being. We can only divert the outside world's attention from them by suspending them, which seems like a punishment.

As for the "disappeared" dimensional core, Jiang Nan told her not to worry, as the association had its own plans.

After everyone left, Xia Jiumeng sat in her single room, feeling the power surging in her body, and lowered her eyes slightly.

After entering her spiritual sea, the power of the Weici core sank directly into the core she had previously extracted from her body.

Although she had very little strength left when she first came here, she still managed to pull the core of her heart into the space created by her mental power. Now, this core has long since merged with the sea of ​​mental power and sunk to the bottom.

Her mutated mental power is very special. It can "eat" almost any power, and a small core is naturally no problem.

But she never chose to completely devour the core. She always felt that the core was very important and could not be completely devoured, so she let it remain in the core state and sink to the bottom of the sea of ​​​​spiritual power.

Now, the influx of the power of the dimensional core has injected a ray of light into the core, which was originally a little dim because most of the power was swallowed up by the sea of ​​​​spiritual power.

Tsk, this core can’t be a glutton, absorbing even the ether dimension.

Xia Jiumeng sat at the head of the bed with her knees slightly curled up, thinking about something in her heart as she thought about the key and the raw stone that the woman could reveal her secrets.

She came from the Gaia Center, which is now area n109. If she wants to find out the secret about herself, she probably has to go to the old site of the Gaia Center. I don’t know if it still exists.

She was also curious about what secrets about herself the 'key' could reveal.

And according to that person, she is the key point of the Fountain of Ate. Without her, the plan cannot succeed. Then why is Ever suddenly in a hurry to carry the things out?

What are they planning?

Xia Jiumeng got out of bed and used a secret line to tell Jiang Nan about her plans during her suspension period. She was going to the former site of the Gaia Research Center in N109 to investigate some things, so there was no need to worry about her if she lost contact for a short time.

After reporting, he put on his clothes and quietly left through the back door of the hospital.

At the same time, a regular building with geometric shapes was erected in the depths of the polar region at the other end.

Fractal Library.

The young man lowered his head and picked up the white beast beside him. "The seven-year agreement has come to an end. Seventeen, let's go find the Lord God Speaker."

The door of the library moved slightly, and a young boy in white clothes and white hair walked out. The white light behind him shone through the door and merged with the white snow.

"I don't know how he's been doing these past seven years, or whether he's gotten along well with his classmates..."

After the white light faded, the boy's foot suddenly stepped on something soft, and white, cool snowflakes fell on his head, which made him stunned.

"Huh? How did the library appear here? Did I pronounce the spell wrong just now?"

The boy looked confused. Shouldn't the library be near the God Speaker?

Why are you here?

The little white animal suddenly jumped out of the boy's arms, running on all fours, its tail drawing a cheerful arc on the snow.

The boy hurriedly grabbed his bag and chased after the little beast, shouting, "Seventeen! I know you haven't seen snow in a long time. But don't be so disobedient!"

At the last second, just before he fell to the ground, he grabbed the beast's tail.

At the same time, the library door behind him slowly closed.

juvenile"........."

He raised his hand and found that the pass bracelet given to him by the Lord God Speaker was left in the library.

It's over....

The young man was silent for a moment, then he held his bag and said, "Book of Answers... Could you please be so kind as to tell me where this is today?"

As the young man finished speaking, his bag bulged slightly, and a very thick book emerged from it. He opened the book and quickly flipped through many pages automatically. Finally, two words "Polar" appeared on the blank page.

Boy: "...How long will it take to get back to Rinku?"

The book of answers turned again: "8000 kilometers."

The boy was silent and desperate. Finally, on the uninhabited polar ice field, a man and a beast silently dragged their luggage forward, and their figures were gradually covered by the vast snow.

.............

After Xia Jiumeng asked Qin Che for a map of N109, she saw that the old site of Gaia was in another direction and decided to go through the main entrance of N109.

That is to say, enter the road with extremely chaotic energy and magnetic field.

Because this direction is very far away from Qin Che's base and chassis, she has to go around a long way to get there.

So she chose the main road, because all the cars were at the acceleration station and this time she could only ride the motorcycle given by the association.

Fortunately, the car was equipped with the anti-interference chip that Qin Che had sent earlier, so it would not lose its direction due to the interference of the disordered magnetic field of strange energy.

She drove out of the southern suburbs of Linkong along the wide road, and the scenery on both sides of the road began to decline.

After crossing the hunting ban belt No. 62-65, we arrived at the n109 area, which was once the most prosperous technology center and is now known as the paradise of sin.

From afar, she saw the abandoned auditorium where she first met Qin Che, still standing in a desolate courtyard in front of the hunting reserve.

She still vividly remembers the scene when she met Qin Che.

Qin Che, wearing a luxurious dark red suit, was surrounded by a powerful dark red energy. He landed handsomely in front of the audience with the dull sound of the giant bell shaking behind him. His every word and action revealed his dominance and nobility.

And what about herself? She squatted on the ground like a fool, staring at him blankly. Not only was she not amazed, but she was also full of defense.

It’s both embarrassing and funny just thinking about it. At that time, Qin Che probably felt like he was winking at a blind man.

I worked so hard to carry the clock here and make a handsome appearance, but she didn't even look at me.

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but laugh.

I started the car and continued to drive into the N109 area. It was just as deserted as I remembered, with almost no people on the streets. It was not until we got closer to the central area that it gradually became lively.

The crowd was all heading in the same direction, the same direction she was going.

Above the central block, a huge holographic screen, lit with fluorescent blue, was displaying the real scene of the street in four directions.

A woman hiding in a corner bandaging a shoulder wound, a little boy cornering a stray body and extracting its core with his bare hands, and gang members stabbing each other in the back...

"So lively?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at the picture with some curiosity. She remembered that Charon was the trading center on the map Qin Che gave her.

What's the point of all this mess?

Looking at the name scrolling on the holographic screen, Xia Jiumeng instantly understood.

It turns out to be a competition. With so many people participating, the prizes must be very valuable.

Taking her eyes off the subject, Xia Jiumeng called Qin Che.

If you want to investigate the secrets of the Gaia base, you must at least know where it is. Speaking of which, the owner of the workshop that Qin Che took her to a long time ago knew the grandmother of a former Gaia staff member. So he must have been a researcher back then and should know the specific location of the Gaia base.

But she didn't seem to know where the workshop was. After all, she had only seen it in the plot at that time, and all she could see was Qin Che's handsome racing car, and she didn't really see the address.

Now she has no chance to read the plot =-=.

Instead of looking around, it’s better to ask Qin Che directly.

The phone rang for several seconds but was not connected. I wonder what Qin Che was doing now.

"Tsk, just go to the base and take a look."

Is this guy obsessed with studying something with Locke again?

I don’t even look at my phone.

She started the car again and was about to turn the corner when a bullet was fired at her from the alley.

Xia Jiumeng instantly leaned sideways, and the motorcycle under her slid out due to inertia and hit the corner of the wall and completely fell apart.

Xia Jiumeng "......"

Before she could ask a question, another bullet flew towards her. Just as it was about to hit her, it was deflected by a cane and hit the wall in the other direction.

"Little boy, please look down and carefully. The place ahead is not open to casual entry." A gentle voice sounded.

Xia Jiumeng looked at the direction a few steps ahead of her toes. An orange-red laser line extended from the street all the way to the walls of the buildings on both sides, as if dividing the street into two halves.

The voice continued, "Charon is staging its three-yearly 'Beast Fighting Game.' The area within the laser beam is the hunting zone."

"Once you step inside the red line, you will be targeted by the reconnaissance aircraft and automatically counted as participating."

"All the villains in N109 are waiting inside to hunt down the lambs who have strayed astray."

Xia Jiumeng turned her head and looked at the old man who was slowly walking towards her. The old man was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked to be no more than fifty or sixty years old. He was holding a cane in his hands, his white hair was neatly groomed, and he was wearing a gentleman's hat on his head.

His demeanor is totally out of place here.

Xia Jiumeng: "Who are you?"

The old man smiled but did not answer. "Just a passerby crossing the Styx."

"Are you going to go across to Charon?"

He turned and looked at the east and west districts of Charon, which were circled by orange-red light, as if a king were inspecting his territory.

Xia Jiumeng was not surprised that the old man knew that she was going to pass through, after all, she was indeed heading that direction just now.

Anyone who is not blind can see what you are planning.

But this person suddenly appeared and was so kind to take her there. Something seemed wrong.

The old man saw the wariness in her eyes and smiled nonchalantly, "How about I take you through here?"

Xia Jiumeng refused, "No matter what."

This old guy is not a good person at first glance.
