Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Before daybreak, when Wuming City was still in a half-asleep state, a figure with perfect curves appeared on the platform above the People's Square.

The figure belonged to a woman. She was not standing on the platform with her feet, but floating in the air. She flew down the platform gracefully and lightly and came to the Central Park of People's Square.

She felt that she was lucky today. Early in the morning, she met a person who came from Wuming City on Taibai Star. After meeting that person, she also gained an illusory "embodied" image, so that she could enter Wuming City again through the entrance and exit platform between Taibai Star and Wuming City.

This time, her goal was very clear, to find the person she met before she first entered Wuming City.

As a member of the Hydrogen Tribe who had once observed the "Reunification" game, she later found out the identity of that person after some inquiries.

Therefore, she must find him. Only in this way can she convey the urgency of the situation as soon as possible.

However, after entering Wuming City, the logic she used on Taibai Star no longer worked. How could she find him?

If it were a few months ago, she could have used the "attraction" method, floating around over Wuming City, or pretending to disappear suddenly to attract the attention of the people in Wuming City, which would surely attract him and his team.

But at that time, she and the Hydrogen Clan members were able to do this mainly because Wuming City was still closed, and its boundaries were set completely in accordance with the rules of the Hydrogen Clan leader, Hydrogen Yi, so the Hydrogen Clan members could enter and exit and move around more freely.

Now that the restrictions had been lifted, all the rules were unified, and both parties were equal. They could only enter and exit Wuming City through specific entrances and exits, just as people from Wuming City entered and exited Taibai Star. Furthermore, even though they could still wander freely around Wuming City as before, appearing and disappearing at will, the people of Wuming City had become accustomed to it after experiencing the past few months, and it no longer held much appeal.

The woman walked back and forth several times in the Central Park of People's Square. It was still early and there were only a few old men doing morning exercises in the park, but they didn't even look at the woman and were immersed in their own world of boxing and kicking.

"..."

Feeling somewhat bored, the woman drifted away from the park and came to the main road nearby. Traffic on the road was still sparse, but more and more cars were merging in from the various branch roads.

After she floated a few hundred meters along the main road, she saw more people on the road, including those heading to work early. The woman found a young man who looked friendly and floated in front of him: "Hi, handsome guy."

The young man looked at her with horror, walked around her in a flash, and walked forward quickly.

"..."

The woman only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the boy disappeared without a trace. She even wondered who was the real member of the Hydrogen Tribe.

However, she was not discouraged and continued to look for kind-looking people on the road.

Before she could find her next target, a kind-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, are you lost? Is this your first time in Wuming City? Do you need any help?"

The woman was a little surprised, but then she thought about it and felt that it was good. "There are still good people in Wuming City..."

"Uncle, I'm not lost, I'm looking for someone."

"Oh? Who are you looking for? Maybe I know him. To be honest, there are one million people in Wuming City, and I should know half of them." The middle-aged man patted his chest.

The woman gave a skeptical look. "Half? That would be half a million people? You know half a million people?"

"How is that possible? But through my friends, I can get to know so many people."

Although it still sounds a bit exaggerated, it is not completely impossible. After all, she learned that there is a "six degrees of separation" theorem in Wuming City, and one can get to know everyone through six people.

So, she asked, "Do you know Guo Ling? He was one of the main leaders of the Jigsaw Team back then."

A hint of doubt flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, but he soon smiled sincerely and said, "Who doesn't know him? You want to find him?"

"Yes, it's something important. Can you take me with you? I'll be paid."

The middle-aged man gave her a meaningful look and said, "It's probably not that easy to see him now. If you don't mind the trouble, come with me to a place first. After I get the pass, I can not only take you to his base, but also take you directly in."

The woman looked at him warily. "Does he need a pass? Where is his base? I have some knowledge of the place names in Wuming City."

The middle-aged man quickly explained: "This is a secret and cannot be told. However, if you have a pass, everything will be easy. Don't worry, just follow me."

The woman thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

The middle-aged man showed excitement on his face and turned to leave, with the woman following behind him.

The middle-aged man quickly left the main road, walked into the small street next to it, and then went further into the alley.

The alley was very quiet, with some small shops on both sides, none of which were open yet. There was no one else in the alley except them, one in front and one behind.

The middle-aged man walked to a residential building and slowed down. He knocked on the door first. After the door opened, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the woman.

He moved very quickly and was determined to succeed. As long as he could capture this seemingly fragile woman and bring her to the room and hand her over to his subordinates, he would get a sum of money. As for what the people in the room did to the woman, it was not his concern.

The woman he had met this morning was not only beautiful and well-proportioned, but also a member of the Hydron tribe. This was the first time he had run into a Hydron tribe member in all his time in the business. He felt that he had good luck today, and that he would definitely be able to fetch a good price.

However, he watched helplessly as the woman was so close to him, and apparently without reacting, he passed through her body!

The woman in front of him was just an incredibly precise and realistic three-dimensional holographic image, without any real body.

Facing the stunned middle-aged man, the woman had completely understood what had happened. She shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to be a liar. However, I should have known that those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves! It's really unfortunate that you have delayed me for so long..."

She decided not to get entangled with the man and quickly left the scene. She didn't even turn around to hear the faint curses behind her.

"Poor people... You all rely on the flesh to exist. Don't you know that we are not embodied? Everything you see is just what we want you to see."

Soon they were back on the main road again. This time, the woman found a middle-aged woman who was walking hurriedly and asked the same question.

She judged that the middle-aged woman must have something urgent to do, so if she knew the answer, she would definitely tell her very concisely, and if she didn't know, she wouldn't waste more of her own time.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman glanced at her and said, "Guo Ling? Jigsaw Team? They are all in Linjiang Building now."

After saying this, he walked three meters away without caring whether the woman heard clearly or remembered it.

Of course, the woman understood everything. Moreover, she also knew where Linjiang Tower was.

Something that she found a bit tricky at first was solved just like that.

"The key is to find the right person..." the woman thought.

She floated for a while before finally arriving at the Linjiang Building. After entering the lobby, she discovered she had to go through access control to get upstairs. With her form, she could have just barged in, but she thought better of it and decided to do as the Romans do.

"My name is Qingchen, looking for Guo Ling from the puzzle team." She said to the front desk.

"OK, wait."

A few minutes later, the receptionist replied: "Mr. Guo Ling and his team are in a meeting. You may need to wait a while."

"The situation is quite urgent," said Qingchen. "I can't wait. I need to go up now."

The receptionist looked at her and said, "They haven't approved it. I can't open the door for you."

"Do you think I need you to scan the access card?" Heng Chen looked down at his feet floating in the air.

"..."

"Well, I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell the higher-ups again. Whoever answers the phone, tell them that the Space Rogue has made a comeback."
