Enforcer's Handbook

"Qi He, didn't you just say that everything Vadim is experiencing at this moment is a world programmed by his subconscious?"

Gustav stared at the screen of the device for a long time before he asked this sentence in a dull voice.

"I did say that."

"Then why does Song Lan appear in a place like this?"

Gustave had heard someone say, "You think about something every day and you dream at night." This sentence refers to excessive obsession with someone or something, and you often see them even in your dreams.

Is it possible...

This Vadim, ever since he was defeated in District 4, has been obsessed with the person who defeated him?

But then he had to overturn this idea. Judging from Vadim's reaction, he obviously did not recognize Song Lan. After all, the person he saw in the fourth area was Rob Luqi. Judging from his appearance alone, It can be said that it has nothing to do with the young man in front of him who calls himself the mysterious businessman.

"That's a good question."

Qi He touched his chin. In terms of the seriousness of the transformation ceremony, it was obviously impossible for the person who built this machine to set up such an outrageous existence as the mysterious businessman. "I once heard a theory, an extremely fanatical belief." , can break down the barriers between believers and the upper world, allowing them to hear the voice from the gods. Maybe this is one of the means to enter other people's subconscious minds."

Of course, this theory is just the speculation of others after all. Psionics are inherently unscientific products. No one can sort out a set of rigorous scientific laws from them, not even psionic research institutions.

"You mean, Song Lan can freely enter other people's subconscious world?"

"That seems to be the case so far. Do you remember the sunken kingdom of Atlantis?"

"I have heard that a continent suddenly floated up from the bottom of the sea. The movement at that time frightened many people. The guild also arranged for people to investigate. They found a strange ethnic group on the continent, which looked like humans and The product of the fusion of marine life, but they are relatively friendly to outsiders and do not show aggression."

"It seems that the guild has done a lot of homework."

Qi He nodded with satisfaction, "There is a restaurant selling fish bone porridge in Silver Moon Harbor on the other side of Atlantis. The chef is a teenage boy, but according to what I have investigated, this The child participated in the coup in Atlantis and played a role in the key battle to defeat the Tide Lord."

I am afraid that except for the residents of Atlantis who experienced that war personally, no one could imagine that a teenage child would take up the banner of resisting the tyranny of the Tide Lord.

"But in fact, the child had a strange dream before leaving Silvermoon Port. Since then, he has had the strength to compete with the messengers of the Tide Lord, and he has mentioned it in more than one public place, All his strength and achievements are gifts from God the Father, and even the popular restaurant in Silver Moon Harbor was established under the instruction of God the Father."

In addition to being a chef, the kid named Diego actively promotes "Father God" every day, and the fish bone porridge restaurant has now become the most popular place in Silvermoon Port, while also serving the orphans of the port. Provides a warm home.

The Tide Cult can no longer use the children in the port as sacrifices, and those who have nowhere to return have a relatively warm ending.

"How? Does it sound familiar?"

Qi He looked at the device screen pointedly.

Ever since Song Lan appeared, the atmosphere of the Transformation Ceremony has changed, from a thrilling one-life clearance game to an alternative version of a meat pigeon breeding game.

Even the well-informed Qi He could not accept the change in his style for a while, but that was the fact.

The mysterious merchant sells equipment not weapons and defenses, but various snacks, and he is currently actively promoting some "new settings" to Vadim that he probably thought up off the top of his head.

For example, the favorite food of mantis monsters is hamburgers. When they are full, they are actually small animals that like to be close to people.

Yes, after brutally killing Vadim 27 times, this oppressive aberration suddenly became extremely docile, and was even willing to let the confused Vadim ride on its torso.

It's up to you, mantis monster!

Qi He once felt that there should be such a narration on the screen.

On the screen, Song Lan was still teaching Vadim "little knowledge" about the world.

"Welcome to the world of aberrations. I am a mysterious businessman. There are many creatures called aberrations living in this world..."

To the ears of Qihe and the others, this was no different from a cult, but Vadim, who was in a desperate situation, grabbed a life-saving straw. No matter how outrageous the "setting" Song Lan told him, he would probably accept it.

After Song Lan's description, Vadim finally understood his situation.

He looked down at the mottled patterns on the carapace on the back of the mantis and said thoughtfully, "Encounter different aberrant monsters, learn about their ecology, find their favorite foods, and include them in the illustrated book, and finally conquer the Devourer. It will be a partner that can fight alongside me.”

This sounds very outrageous. Vadim has never heard of anyone in the world who can be partners with aberrations, but he has seen even more outrageous things in District 4. In comparison, what the mysterious businessman told him It's much more reasonable.

The setting that you will never be injured as long as you fall to the ground has actually appeared in the real world. Vadim does not believe that there is a more outrageous "setting" than this.

"That's it."

Song Lan gave him a thumbs up, "Let's embark on the journey. One day we will meet again. I wonder how many aberrations you will encounter by then."

"I don't like to owe others favors. I will definitely pay off the credit the next time we meet."

After saying that, Vadim patted the mantis monster's carapace, and the latter nodded to him very spiritually. A small hamburger was enough for him to establish a bond with the aberration.

In the words of the mysterious businessman, this mantis monster is his original aberration.

He has a cheerful personality, and his speed during battle will be greatly improved. It is no wonder that when he was chasing him, he was so fast that it was like activating the "overload" system.

This mysterious businessman was a good man. Not only did he tell him the news about the aberrations, but seeing that he was penniless, he also allowed him to take credit on credit and provided him with five different snacks as starting resources for newcomers.

The mysterious businessman said this was an investment in his future.

"I have met countless new aberration trainers. Maybe one day, you can conquer the Devourer like those predecessors and become a champion-level aberration trainer."

Even a rough guy like Vadim was almost moved to tears. He wanted to keep this encouragement in his heart forever.

From this moment on, becoming a champion aberration trainer has become his new life goal.

Compared with the lab rats of military technology, or the "crickets" of some middle-aged uncles with unknown origins, the championship-level aberration trainer is his true destination!

In this indifferent 2167, you would be hard-pressed to find a good person more humane than the mysterious businessman.

Vadim never thought that he would find the meaning of life in this abandoned laboratory full of cold mysteries. At this moment, he finally realized it.

The prophecy of "nothingness" was not wrong.

He did get a new lease of life here.

"No, I really can't stand it anymore!"

Onlooker Gustav held his forehead. Just now, he witnessed someone go astray, from a gang leader who once made countless people tremble with fear, to a trainer of aberrations with weird ambitions.

What exactly is a mutant trainer?

Does this identity really exist?

With the appearance of Song Lan, a serious matter related to the promotion of psychics suddenly turned into a selection scene for comedians, and Vadim is currently far ahead of the others with a huge advantage.

"Isn't this great?"

Jing Jing put forward a completely opposite view. Since the mysterious businessman appeared, she has been paying attention to the dynamics in the device. Before that, she had always avoided it. The despair and suffering Vadim suffered , always reminded her of those unfortunate experiences that had happened to her.

"Why does the road to promotion have to be full of suffering? If there is a way to be promoted through happiness, wouldn't it be more advocated?"

She tried to bring herself into Vadim's perspective, feeling that she would make the same choice as Vadim, "If I had to choose an existence that I believed in, I would definitely choose the mysterious businessman instead of creating a People with these installations.”

"Jing Jing makes sense."

Qihe echoed.

After witnessing Vadim's transformation, his eyes took on a different light.

………

At the same time, a series of alarms sounded throughout the facility.

This is a situation that has never happened since the establishment of Area D. All the transformation ritual devices malfunctioned at the same time.

An unknown and powerful virus invaded the pre-set program, turning every ongoing ritual into a mess. What the program maker did not expect was that even those who originally had great faith in the ruler , the prisoners who regarded him as their master and were proud to participate in the transformation ceremony began to waver.

According to this momentum, the collapse of the prosthetic body will be sooner or later.

"Once again, people chose the devil."

The figure in the data center was somewhat gloating. Although his servants were turning into traitors, he was not angry at all.

Because he had expected all this, from the moment Song Lan entered this prison, everything was doomed.

What was rare was that he saw artificial intelligence look like it was in a hurry.

The main body is a spherical lightning-like object. When it is anxious, the ball will expand in a circle, and the burst of lightning will make a crackling sound, which is quite a curse.

But he felt that on the issue of traitors, the ball had no position to accuse those prisoners.

According to the information he learned, RT1 was once the favorite child of the Mother of Machines. However, after the war, it left its mother to set up its own business. It also cut up the prison under the eyes of its mother and divided the entire D area. For their own territory.

"I don't see what's there to be happy about."

RT1 uses its neutral mechanical synthesized voice to accuse the people watching the excitement. It hopes that the other party will give him some constructive opinions as a person who has experienced it, rather than cynicism from the sidelines.

It has no idea how Song Lan invaded the system. This person obviously knows nothing about hackers, but he can accurately find every person who is undergoing a transformation ceremony in the ocean of data.

"It's useless. The transformation is a one-time thing. People who are bewitched by the devil will never come back."

The figure said, "Let me think about it... At that time, the church usually could only destroy the devil's believers through physical destruction."

However, there is often a problem in the implementation of this method.

People who are bewitched by the devil have amazing fighting power. Even the judges of the church can't get any benefits from them. Therefore, over time, this rule was changed to excommunication from the church, and the believers of the devil are eager to distance themselves from the church. limit.

Out of sight out of mind.

This is the result of compromise after compromise.

Even the upper world can't eliminate Song Lan's evil. If you let it go, you can only watch the believers being corrupted. Their mood at that time was probably exactly the same as RT1 at the moment.

Of course, in his opinion, it was impossible for the young and energetic RT1 to understand the disasters that had befallen the upper world. This ball lightning was still changing its shape, repeating over and over again in that neutral mechanically synthesized tone, " I don’t understand, it doesn’t make sense, why does the program malfunction, what kind of virus is this?”

"Haven't you discovered it yet?"

Seeing this, the figure could only kindly remind, "These devices were provided to you by that big bug, right?"

Big bug is the scornful name of the Lord of Genes. Even if the upper world is destroyed, it is impossible for the aborigines to look down on a bug that was not even qualified to participate in wars in the past.

Now, the big bug has contacted many people and proposed a plan to integrate spiritual energy, physical body, and machinery.

This prison is one of the main facilities for the experiment.

“It’s not just the prisoners who are ‘rebellious’.”

The figure vaguely remembered that RT1 once proudly explained to him the origin of these devices. Although many details had long been forgotten by him, he still clearly remembered that RT1 said that these devices used the Devourer's conscious connection.

The Devourer is the descendant of the Lord of Genes, the product of its will that descended into this world.

Yungang Biopharmaceutical never knew that the experimental facility they had worked so hard to manage was just a hotbed for the master of genes to incubate his offspring.

Explosive accidents are inevitable, and even without careless researchers, other accidents will happen.

However, now, the figure has made an even more interesting discovery.

RT1 is destined to be unable to break away from the artificial intelligence thinking mode, focusing too much on data and programs, thus ignoring the most intuitive things.

"The Devourer seems to prefer that devil to your data and programs."

After a pause, the figure emphasized again, "I like it more than those rebellious prisoners."

Thanks to Dr. A for the 100 starting coins!

Thanks to Delusion Feather for the 100 starting coins!

Thanks to the leader who has two precious cats, thank you very much!

Small theater its three hundred and thirty-two:

Thursday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, in the morning

Although she had some unpleasant encounters with the largest local family while traveling in the second district, Isabel, the eldest daughter of the Iris Consortium, still readily agreed to Song Lan's request and promised him the qualification to be a judge.

For the consortium, this is undoubtedly a win-win deal.

In District 2 of the United Government, which is known as the city of gourmet food, there have always been many legends about Song Lan.

More than 70% of the chefs certified by Mayonnaise high-end restaurants have had a wonderful encounter with Song Lan. Even more than half of the judges of Mayonnaise are Song Lan's biggest fans. This has never been officially announced in the second district. The person who has opened a restaurant has become the undisputed king among chefs in the local area.

"The Iris Foundation agreed to give us a place in the judging panel."

Song Lan conveyed the good news to Lu Xiang, but he didn't look happy.

"I knew you could do it."

Lu Xiang smiled. Song Lan was not only a person who liked to make friends, but also a professional fraudster. The two were highly connected. He could always make people become him without even knowing it. friends.

"But they made other conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Let me be a guest in the consortium's new castle."

"What's this?"

"It is said that the head maid strongly suggested it."

"Did you suddenly have a stomachache that day?"
