Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"The experiment sadly revealed the fact that before I get a complete new body or your body, my clone cannot be separated from you in two worlds." The Lich Master said: "After passing through the portal, I lost consciousness . After you crossed over, I regained the last memory of my clone. To put it simply, when you step through the door, you don't know what you are going to do, and the magic that makes up the body loses control. Under the influence of the distorted inertia of the transmission channel, the body will be decomposed into the original minerals again. "

Zhuang Xuteng asked with concern: "It doesn't hurt... No, your soul is not damaged, right?"

"It's okay. You cross the passage and it reunites. But this is indeed a hidden danger: if you don't come over for a long time, and my soul is indeed divided into two parts, then both parts will continue to weaken. It seems that as long as you cross To access the passage, you must first release the clone."

"Master, can you create a clone here?"

"No. The spell to create a clone cannot be converted into the shadow follower spell of local rules here."

"You build a body over there, and I bring it over as an item. Can't you use it too?"

The Lich Master was silent for a moment and said: "Now I am convinced that you have sucked away a lot of my intelligence. Were you so clever before?"

"That's right!" Zhuang Xuteng raised his nose and said confidently.

"I don't believe it." Master Lich patted the armrest of the throne with his hand and said, "Okay, when you return to my world, we will talk about the body transfer in detail. Go back quickly, this is the world of the company , you have to be careful.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and the next moment, he returned to the culvert. It was only then that he had the time to notice that there was a strange smell in the air around him, which was slightly choking. At first, he suspected it might be some kind of polluted gas, but the implant didn't sound an alarm. After a while he got used to the smell and couldn't even detect it anymore. Only then did he realize that this was the original flavor of his world. If you don’t go to the magical world to compare, you won’t have a feeling.

"My adaptability is quite strong and I can survive on both sides." Zhuang Xuteng slapped the protective clothing hard, opened the manual lock, and took off the thick clothing with the help of the tentacles of the resentful spirit. He touched the amber spark amulet necklace around his neck and warned: "You must keep it intact! I am also thinking of bringing in more magical items for use!"

The suit must be completely destroyed but needs to be found somewhere else. Just outside the satellite city of the Constitutional Capital is Shaiyuan, which is in the wilderness. You can do this by finding a low-lying place. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng had to figure out one thing: how Dr. Booker was quickly discovered by people in the company after he returned from the film world.

Avoiding the sanatorium not far away, Zhuang Xuteng walked from the shadow of Shengyuan, still wearing the invisibility ring. After ten kilometers into Shenyuan, the sanatorium town in the distance was obscured by low hills and could not be seen at all. So Zhuang Xuteng dug holes by hand in low-lying areas. He planned to burn the protective clothing with a palm fire, but the thermite and the clothes would produce thick smoke when burning, so he needed to dig out a fireplace and dig some separate flues.

Use an armor-piercing hammer to break the hard parts, and the rest of the work will be much easier. Zhuang Xuteng spent most of the day on the hilly slope and pulled out a structure similar to a bread oven, which had a certain amount of space to store smoke. He attached palm fires to the inside and outside of the protective suit, and then activated one to ignite them.

The dazzling firelight flickered in the "bread oven", and the smoke gathered on the top of the oven. When they are lowered to the vicinity of the furnace mouth, several branch flues will disperse them as much as possible and discharge them. The wind was strong today and the smoke was quickly blown away, which also helped Zhuang Xuteng a lot.

To be on the safe side, Zhuang Xuteng would wait here until the burning was complete, and he would also take out the debris and bury them separately. During this waiting period, he began to check himself. Every detector in the Eye of Kaho was running, and he compared the information obtained with his usual situation.

There is really a difference: his whole body exudes the aura of shadow energy.

The normal energy response of shadow slaves is not based on "people", but on "items": if there are several shadow slave devices and several shadow slave implants on the body, there will be a corresponding number of shadow slave energy reactions. For detectors with low accuracy or long distances, these individual shadow energy responses will be blurred into a ball, which is often referred to as the shadow energy response of "a certain person".

Zhuang Xuteng is no exception. By combining the Thousand-Eyed Cloak and the Eye of Shadow to examine himself, one can also tell how many implants he has on his body, where they are located, and what level they are. But now, his whole body is evenly emitting shadow energy signals, and his whole body seems to have turned into a large walking shadow. It’s no wonder that such distinctive and obvious characteristics were detected by the company’s people. Dr. Bukele was arrested, and it was not unfair at all.

"There may be other characteristics, but Kaho's Eye can't see it. My daily actions should be safe. I don't go to highly confidential places or the company's own secure buildings, and I don't meet with company executives, so it shouldn't arouse suspicion."

It is not difficult to deal with the shadow energy emanating from the whole body. The Thousand Eyes Cloak can cover it, and it can also be transferred to other people.

First, he became invisible and covered, and then found a group of people to pass it on to them. After putting on makeup, Zhuang Xuteng walked into the sanatorium town. Since this is not a place for people to recuperate - Zhuang Xuteng has not booked a room, nor does he want to book a nursing home; unlike the staff here - he has finally come back, and he definitely doesn't want to serve others at this time. Zhuang Xuteng jumped directly onto a suburban bus and arrived at the largest city in the "Company World": Constitution City, the capital.

There are four cities named after the Constitution. The other three share the titles of "Second", "Eastern" and "Southern". Only the huge steel forest in front of us is called the "Capital".

Nearly 70 million people live in this city, and satellite cities dotted around it provide it with food, industrial products and various services. The headquarters of the four major companies are all here, located in the four directions of the city's southeast, northwest and northwest axes. With their towering headquarters buildings and accompanying large-scale research and industrial parks, they are like feudal lords, possessing supreme authority over their respective parks.

The city was built to commemorate the victory of the corporate war and the replacement of the monarchy by the republic. Initially, there were more company headquarters and corresponding parks here, creating an atmosphere of competition and prosperity among multiple companies. But after many corporate wars, only the headquarters of four major companies remain here. Other companies were destroyed and absorbed, campuses were demolished, and the headquarters of the Big Four were "built" higher and higher.

Unless Zhuang Xuteng was crazy, there was no way he would hang out near the headquarters of the four major companies at this time.

The bus drove into the city, and Zhuang Xuteng transferred to a taxi. The driver with dark circles under his eyes still had an extinguished cigarette in his mouth. He turned his head and asked feebly: "Passenger, where are you going?"

"A quiet, safe, comfortable place where you can relax and have a lot of meat." Zhuang Xuteng smelled the smell of safety blue powder floating in the air, waved his hand to disperse it and added: "The relaxation I want is the same as Safety blue has nothing to do with it.”

"Royal Hot Spring Hotel, which used to be a side palace of the Unified Empire's European Emperor. The hot spring water there is very good and the cooks are good, but the price is not cheap." The driver looked Zhuang Xuteng up and down and said with a smile: "An ordinary room costs eighty-nine a night. A hundred euros, a meal costs thousands anyway.”

"How is the quality and level?"

"That must be good! Of course, it is said that the company's internal hospitality hotel is more luxurious and claims to be able to meet all your needs. Apart from that, the Royal Hot Spring Hotel has always been ranked higher." The driver said: "Hey, no To tell you the truth, every time I bring a qualified guest, I will receive a reward from the hotel. The Royal Hot Spring Hotel does not give the most money. If it is just for the money, I will recommend you to go elsewhere."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "Then go to the Royal Hot Spring. Drive more carefully on the road."

The taxi was driving on the streets that it had just passed, and the underground steam pipes and rainwater worked together to bring the air humidity close to full value. The air conditioner was on in the car, the cold wind was blowing hard, and a layer of fog quickly formed on the glass. The neon lights outside reflected off the waterlogged road and passed through the glass windows, giving the outside scenery a hazy look.

In the haze caused by the light, pedestrians turned into small, blurry, black shadows. Zhuang Xuteng leaned on the car seat and looked outside. He couldn't see clearly. People have turned into featureless shadows, and even tall, short, fat and thin have gradually lost their distinction, and they have all become remnants waiting to be swallowed up by the light.

In a super giant city, steel and shadows are the main body, the four major companies exercise power as the brain, and the people below are just red blood cells at best. They marched on streets that were like a network of blood vessels, repeating their work day and night. Loud music, ubiquitous advertisements, and the light and shadow of naked men and women occupy every inch of the sensory space. Even if you fall asleep, there is a Dream Mist Experience Machine carrying Safety Blue to escort you all the way. The gushing driver said that the experience machines are selling like hotcakes and have become a necessity in life, just like sofas and mattresses.

"I don't need a second one." Zhuang Xuteng patted the backpack containing Brother Flathead and other luggage, and declined the driver's promotion with a smile. To avoid further sales pitches, he changed the subject: "How is the security situation in the capital? Is it safe on the streets?"

"The urban area is fine, and the areas around the Four Forbidden Areas are even safer. As long as you don't go to the outskirts of the city, everything is fine." The driver said, "If you want to go out, either find a regular taxi like me, or ask for the hotel's escort service. . There will be drivers who drive special cars, and there will also be puppet bodyguards. With puppet bodyguards, most people will not dare to touch you."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and wrote down this information. Next, he listened to a discussion about whether executing puppets would take away the taxi driver's job for nearly half an hour, until he finally arrived at the entrance of the Royal Spa Hotel.

The hotel is magnificent, with the bronze European Emperor in front of the door holding a torch high, and his four queens kneeling, sitting or kneeling around him. The top of the torch has been changed from spitting fire to a more modern holographic projection, and the large characters of Crown Hot Spring Hotel are projected, slowly rotating in the air.

After paying the fare and giving a tip, Zhuang Xuteng was greeted by a hotel waiter as soon as he got off the bus, reaching out to carry his luggage. "I'll keep the confidential items myself." Zhuang Xuteng threw the bag over his shoulder and walked straight inside. He noticed that the waiter took down the taxi number and then quickly followed behind him, as if he was ready to provide service at any time.

It seems that after you check in, the hotel will give you a commission on the taxi settlement based on your consumption level.

Zhuang Xuteng took out the false identity he obtained during the attack on the identity authentication system and checked in at the front desk. When he opened the Wraith Jelly, he could not only see that the fake ID was successfully recognized by the system, but also know whether there were any hidden tricks at the front desk.

"Mr. Douglas Russ MacArthur, welcome to the Royal Hot Spring Hotel. Do you have any requirements for your room?"

This name fully reflects Zhuang Xuteng's bad taste. He clearly wants to ruin Brother Dao's reputation, or in a certain operation, let Brother Dao call him Brother Dao. "I want two rooms, adjacent to each other, one of which can host a small party of five people. It needs to have a bar, an ice machine, and preferably a safe balcony."

"The Prince and Knight Suites, once the middle door is closed, are two independent rooms. The Prince Room is very spacious and can hold small parties. Our hotel can provide supporting staff, sanitation, catering and other services. Here is an introduction to the rooms and services Take a look at the picture.”

Zhuang Xuteng took a rough look, nodded, and decided to do this. He dug into his pocket, took out a stack of platinum coins wrapped in paper, and placed them on the counter. If you don't have enough, ask me for it. If you have more, just put it in my account. You should be able to provide account services to guests here, right?

"Of course!" This kind of hotel account is interest-free. The more money you save, the more the hotel will earn. The front desk prepared two room cards and handed them to Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "You can use any card to make purchases directly in the hotel, except for the casino on the third floor. Special chips need to be replaced there."

Zhuang Xuteng was noncommittal. According to Prince's theory of infiltration, the higher the status of a person, the less need to pay attention to what others want to say. They can just put forward their own requirements and let others handle them. So he said: "I'm a little hungry. Prepare some meat for me. It's delicious and bring it to the prince's room at once. I also want some purified water and beer to quench my thirst. Do not add safety blue to all food and drinks. and related products.”

"Understood, we will prepare immediately, it will take about forty minutes."

"Forty minutes? Is it a reheated semi-finished product?"

"No, we have a special high-pressure oven that cooks faster without losing flavor." The hotel front desk said, "Sir, what else do you need?"

"A tailor needs to change my shoes. Let them come in three hours. I will be in the knight room at that time." Zhuang Xuteng said: "When they come, they will also bring me the travel and security services provided by the hotel. ,I want to see."

Half an hour later, Zhuang Xuteng was feasting at the dining table in the prince's room. The hotel prepared barbecue steaks for him and served them in a thermostatic box. Large bone-in steaks are stacked on top of each other and come in various cuts.

It was meat, not synthetic meat from protein worms, Zhuang Xuteng could tell. This meal is not cheap, and even if you have the money, it is not available everywhere. The Royal Hot Spring Hotel has taken a stake in a cultivation farm and breeding enterprise dedicated to the Capital Hotel, and has a stable supply channel of real meat. It’s not like it doesn’t use protein worms, it just puts them on the side as a flavor-enhancing meat sauce and uses them as you like.

PS: I went on a trip with my family and will take a few days off later. hey-hey.
