Enforcer's Handbook

"A few months ago, a caravan discovered a relic in a desert area 200 kilometers away from the oasis. They brought the news back to Root City. They thought they could take this opportunity to make a lot of money, so they told the merchant The team applied for support."

"Nothingness" said.

The rich in the Coalition love to collect vintage treasures, mostly sourced from the harshest climates 'outside'.

Some of the relics that survived the third war contained a large number of objects recording pre-war civilizations. As long as these objects can be resold to the coalition government, a lot of profits can be made.

"The Local Chamber of Commerce in Lute has attracted attention, and immediately gathered its staff and dispatched an archaeological team of 15 people. In addition to the security personnel, this team also invited several scholars."

In view of the special location of the ruins, there are likely to be dangerous mutant creatures nearby. The Root Chamber of Commerce also transferred robots, suspension vehicles and other mechanical equipment from the headquarters to assist them in completing this operation.

"The initial stage of the operation went very smoothly. The life signal detectors allowed them to avoid a large number of mutated creatures. When they went deep into the ruins, they found signs of living creatures. According to geologists, the ruins are most likely to be air-raid shelters. During the three wars, the survivors who hid in the bomb shelter survived the nuclear war, but the explosion destroyed the way they came from, and they finally died of depletion."

"Nothingness" found a pamphlet somewhere, and read it decently.

In the end, only one member of the archaeological team returned to Lute City, and all the above contents were dictated by the survivor.

These texts record their wonderful adventure that lasted six days in the depths of the ruins.

"When the team set up the equipment and started the first round of exploration work, their findings overturned the geologists' initial speculation. Through the wreckage in the ruins, they found that this place is more like some kind of sacrificial place full of religious overtones. The portrait carved on the rock wall records a myth and legend. They originally took a lot of video materials in the ruins, but all of them were lost in the later accidents.

"They saw the burning sky, and a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the depths of the desert. The meteorite was found by an unrecorded village resident and brought back to the village...how, does this story sound very strange? familiar?"

The archaeological team didn't understand what the story was telling at first, but the burning sky brought back bad memories of "nothingness", which made him easily connect the sky with the legend of the meteorite.

Song Lan cleaned up the upper world. According to him, no one lives there now.

So where did those who survived the upheaval go?

"Void" recalled that the oasis happened to be the place Song Lan had mentioned to him. At that time, the opponent claimed to hold an unprecedented competition here, and the meteorite landed in the desert area not far from Root City. .

And everything recorded in this legend points to another old friend they are familiar with.

Seeing that Song Lan remained silent, "Nothingness" continued the story, "It was a barren village, and the villagers struggled to survive in the face of drought, disease, and mutant creatures all their lives. Because it deviated from the covenant, Since the third war, they have been living in isolation until a villager brought this strange stone back to the village.

"Under the influence of the meteorite, dense vegetation appeared in the village. When people placed the stone on the altar, its power spawned a stream until it converged into a lake. It acted as an invisible barrier to prevent dangerous mutations. Creatures were blocked outside. What's even more miraculous is that when some seriously ill patients prayed to the meteorite, the meteorite responded to them.

"It didn't take long for someone to discover its true power, which is to create life."

The narration of "Nothingness" ends here abruptly.

He knew that this would definitely be what Song Lan was most interested in, at least it would help him think of something, "Things that lose their lives can never come back, no matter human beings or us, and it can change this There is only one person involved in this matter... I know you, your kid is an out-and-out terrorist, but he is also a person who knows how to repay you."

This is also the reason why he can still stand here and talk about a certain myth and legend with Song Lan, "You will never do anything to those who have helped you."

That being said, in this mythology, their old friend looks anything but safe.

If she still has consciousness, she will never stay in a village and be enshrined to create forests and lakes for them.

Through these descriptions, "Nothingness" felt that this stone only recorded the ability of that old friend, and her consciousness was likely to be sealed during the fall.

As for the later stories, there are not many parts that can attract the attention of "Nothingness".

In his view, human beings have always been like this.

No one can bear the thirst for strength and power.

"Some people think that this is proof that they have become the chosen people of the God of Life. The meteorite is a gift from the gods. They established the church in this name. The relics are the product of the church's existence. The church believes that in order to prevent the power of the meteorite abused, it should be preserved by the most faithful believers."

The records found by the archaeological team on the surface of the ruins stopped here. At the end of those intermittent records, the bishop alone brought this magical stone capable of creating life to the depths of the ruins.

The archaeological team also made a decision by coincidence.

They did not contact the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to report their discovery in the ruins.

If this meteorite is as miraculous as described in the legend, why would they give up the power to create life to others?

Everyone, including the survivor himself, managed to pry open the stone door leading to the depths of the ruins that night. They knew that a huge treasure was hidden behind this door.

Not surprisingly, all have paid for their actions.

In the deepest part of the ruins, they witnessed the end of the bishop.

The depths of the ruins were shrouded in unknown plants. When they reached the deepest point along the steep stairs and guided by the plants, they found the bishop who was almost integrated with the tree stump.

The meteorite was placed on the sacrificial altar in an unattended manner, and a large amount of research materials were scattered everywhere in a disorderly manner.

It’s just that the people at that time had no time to take care of these things, and they rushed towards the meteorite. At that moment, they seemed to hear faint whispers, just as described in the records, as if the God of Life was really guiding watching them.

When the first person touched the meteorite, the vegetation of the ruins frantically attacked everyone.

Everyone, including the archaeologist, died under the attack of the vegetation. She saw the lush vegetation sucking their flesh and blood, and finally everyone became the nutrient of that tree.

Until a few days later, she opened her eyes from the chaos and nothingness.

Death and pain seemed to be just a nightmare, but she was still in the deepest part of the ruins, her companions were missing, and she herself became the fruit of this tree and was given a second life.

The price was that she had to bring the meteorite back to Root City.

This is the order of the "God of Life".

"Nothingness" took out the stone from the showcase, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

Although the abilities are the same, the intensity of the energy is far apart.

Their old friend is not here, this stone is at best a small part of her energy, but even so, it is more than enough to create an oasis in this desert.

Then, he threw the stone at Song Lan, "Let's leave it to you to keep it. It's not easy to raise a few excellent crickets these days. I don't want them to be ruined by the grievances between you."

If fate really existed, perhaps the consciousness remaining in the meteorite knew that Song Lan would come here, so the archaeologists brought it to Lute City.

And Song Lan and their old friend were undoubtedly the closest existence to their fate.

This made "Nothingness" can't help but think of what he had seen and heard in the fourth district.

In addition to reminiscing with old friends after a long absence, he also saw some interesting things.

For example, Song Lan, as a law enforcement officer in District 17, unexpectedly fell in love with someone.

This is really unusual.

Although Oasis is a country full of romanticism, they believe that every encounter between people is a coincidence, but this is not the case for those who can glimpse the trajectory of fate.

Why is it the seventeenth district, and why is it at this time point?

Every link of fate is intriguing, and "Nothingness" feels that every thread in it is a reflection of the past.

"In human terms, our old friend seems to be in a vegetative state now, and you were the last to see her."

"Nothingness" pretended to be casual and said, "You really don't remember where her consciousness went?"

"forget."

This is what Song Lan said after he came to the vault, and at the same time he put the stone into his pocket.

"I have to warn you, this thing is a big problem right now."

It can be foreseen that the "Godfather" of those worms will definitely send more killers in order to get it. As far as "Void" knows, Song Lan is a person who is extremely afraid of trouble, and his personality has not changed until now.

There are not many opportunities for him to put such a big trouble in his pocket.

This is like walking on the streets of Root City with a huge sum of several kilowatts, and can't wait to tell everyone that he is a big fat sheep.

But this actually calmed the mind of "Nothingness" a lot.

Song Lan's behavior showed that he and that old friend hadn't broken up, and there might be something hidden behind the falling and separation of consciousness, and he didn't have to act as a worried middle-aged man, invite the two of them to the tavern at the same time, and torture him to death. Brainstorm to convince them to get back together.

"Now our "Three Musketeers" lineup is missing a corner, it's time to revive this combination!"

"I don't remember when we formed a group, and none of us used swords."

"Established."

"Nothingness" is plausible, and "Three Musketeers" is a combination he thought of on the spur of the moment.

As the first and most valuable champion of the Fighting Cricket Contest, as well as the organizer of the event, he thinks "Three Musketeers" is the best description for their combination, because the three of them are the only three in the upper world who have won Championship player.

"According to the latest clues obtained by the chamber of commerce, the last place this archaeologist appeared was the Yunxian Hotel in Root City. It's time to set off, Mr. Detective Song Lan."

"You wait for me first."

Song Lan put one hand on the shoulder of "Nothingness", and immediately exposed his intention to muddle through, "What do you mean by the Yunxian Hotel and the famous detective?"

"Ah? Didn't I tell you before? The archaeologist disappeared the second day after returning to Lute City. The Chamber of Commerce found that she stayed at the Cloud String Hotel the night before. The surveillance video showed that she never came out again." But, besides, it happens to be the site of the Skeleton Gang, and the Skeleton Gang has a great influence in Root City, so it's not easy for them to intervene."

"I'm pretty sure you didn't mention that before."

"That may be because I am getting old and my memory is not so good."

"Nothingness" said, "But you are different, you are very young, and you are the law enforcement officer of District 17, and..."

"And what?"

Seeing that "Nothingness" hesitated to speak, Song Lan asked.

"Besides, your girlfriend said that you have a broom star physique. I always feel that as long as I bring you, even if I don't do anything, the prisoner will show his feet... From now on, I will be your assistant. Opportunity, I suggest that we go to the Yunxian Hotel immediately, if the security environment in Yilute City is late, I am afraid that the archaeologist's body will be cold."

"Are you an assistant?"

Song Lan gave "Nothingness" a hard look, and the latter puffed up his chest and responded proudly to Song Lan.

"Generally speaking, assistants are in charge of force, just like Zhan Zhao is to Sherlock Holmes, and Watson is to Bao Zheng."

"...Who is Bao Zheng?"

"Nothingness" thought about it, but he didn't remember that there was such a person in the upper world.

"It's not important. When it's important, if a conflict breaks out later, you'll be the one to fight."

Before departure, Song Lan had to make three agreements.

He has seriously violated the principles of the Moyu God Sect, and the situation cannot be further deteriorated.

He absolutely cannot allow himself to play the roles of a detective and a force at the same time.

"No problem, partner."

"Nothingness" is confident, "I will let everyone die in despair and emptiness!"

"You don't have to go too far, you are the behavior of a serial killer."

"Then what to do?"

"For example, attacking their joints with grappling, or throwing them to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw."

Song Lan used an example of a spy movie he had seen recently.

"Gripping, throwing over the shoulder? I don't know how to do it."

"Won't you also have the nerve to be an assistant?"

"What about you? Will you?"

"……Won't."

At this moment, Song Lan and "Void" both realized a serious problem.

They are used to using psionic attacks at ordinary times, and no one knows how to fight with real street weapons.

"wait."

Song Lan found out Lu Xiang's phone number from the address book, "I'll ask for help off the court."

Thanks to the Admiral of the Navy and the big star for the 100 starting coins!

Two hundred and fifty-four of the Little Theater:

Friday, noon on a certain day of a certain year

Song Lan is very supportive of solving problems by rolling dice, which can make life full of random fun.

But the problem now is that there is obviously something wrong with the dice provided by Lu Xiang.

"How do I roll a 20 on a 1-6 die?"

"1-6 is the basic value, didn't you say it before? You can provide basic points through intelligence or charm."

"Then what is my current base value?"

"It has nothing to do with base values."

Lu Xiang was eager to try, "It depends on your next behavior."

She opened the phone memo:

"Tips: Kiss can increase the basic value by 5 points"

Lu Xiang is really a conspirator.

But in order to let Lu Xiang lose this ultimate handle, Song Lan had to make unimaginable efforts against his conscience.

In the evening, he finally accumulated 17 basic values ​​for himself.

Before he acted, Lu Xiang opened the phone memo again.

"Tips: The dice is equipped with a spiritual detection device. If cheating is detected, not only will the result of the dice roll be cancelled, but the basic value of the next roll will also be -20."

The despicable Lu Xiang didn't allow him to cheat!

Song Lan took a deep breath, widened his eyes and watched the dice slowly lift into the sky.

18!

He gets the final result of the dice roll.

"What a pity."

Lu Xiang couldn't hold back the corners of her lips. She was already prepared for Song Lan to exceed 20 points, but she didn't expect his luck to be so bad.

"It seems that we can only do it again tomorrow."
