United States, Los Santos.

Jerome Monroe turned off the computer on his desk, got up and walked to the wide floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked around, looking over the buildings of different heights, and saw the setting sun falling from the Santa Monica beach, dyeing the narrow and long line of clouds where the sea and the sky meet into a gradient of orange, and the sea became sparkling.

Slightly to the right, at the foot of Beverly Hills, there are many low-rise manor villas, that is, Beverly Hills, which has the title of "the most prestigious residential area in the world".

As for Hollywood, which is further north, the orientation of this desk is completely invisible.

In the past, when Jerome looked down on this "City of Angels", he would have a heartfelt joy in his heart, as if the world was at his feet, and everything was within reach, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable emptiness, because in the future life, you can basically see the end at a glance. .

At their level, sometimes whether they can go a step further is not determined by personal ability, but is already "destined", so many people choose to immerse themselves in the feasting.

Although Jerome of the past has not fallen, it is definitely not that good.

But when he caught a glimpse of Blue Star's real corner, his mentality completely changed.

There is no doubt about the beauty of this huge city, but whenever he thinks of a place he can't see, there is a mysterious and colorful world hidden in it, he feels that everything in front of him is boring.

The loss of being unable to set foot for a long time, the excitement of the emergence of a new goal in life, two contradictory moods enveloped him at the same time.

"Ugh……"

Jerome let out a long sigh. During this period of time, he had spilled a lot of money, and of course he had gained, but in the end he found out that it was all fake and fake news.

He didn't know how long he could last. After all, the family was not his own. If he continued to spend money like this, others would be suspicious.

Looking at traditional Western literary works, it is often found that the internal contradictions of the Western big family are very serious. They all say that literature is a reflection of reality, and it is true. Jerome was unwilling to share the opportunity to step into the inner world with those who were at odds with him.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the city is gradually lit up, and the orange line in the far distance is more and more dazzling.

Hundreds of millions of meters were thrown away, but he couldn't even see a splash. Jerome has only now deeply realized how much people "can't ask", one of the eight hardships in life, said by the Yan Kingdom VI Da-Laicangyang Gyatso. uncomfortable.

In the past, he couldn't understand at all, those mad believers who had been chasing the traces of God all their lives, but now, even if he and the mad believers pursued different things, they still have a clear understanding.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated slightly.

Jerome frowned immediately, because this was a special encryption terminal placed in the left trouser pocket. When his most powerful confidant makes a big discovery, he will only use this channel to contact him.

He immediately took out the connection, listening to the inner voice, his eyes became a little deeper.

"We bought the gray-white floating object from the fishermen and paid for it to seal it up. After the technicians identified it, the latter turned out to be some kind of bone, but for some reason it was very light, and even if it was full of traces of time, it was very hard. ."

The people on the phone were a little excited.

"How sure are you?" Jerome asked.

The voice was silent for a while, and did not answer directly, but told him more exciting news: "We went along the coast to find the source of the bones, and there is still a part of the skeleton exposed, and only that part is more than the length. ...30 meters!"

Jerome suddenly squeezed his hand holding the phone, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before opening his eyes and saying, "I want to come over in person 〃々."

Soon, Xie Penghai and Li Lanlan, who were far away in the Yan Kingdom, received news that shocked them.

And Tang You, who had already placed the ruins and matched them, and was paying attention to this matter, couldn't help but smile peacefully. The team to explore the mysterious world is about to set off, but...

The form of the ruins this time is different from the past, and at the same time, it will not be so "friendly", extraordinary...meaning danger.

In addition, the extraordinary items nurtured in it made him shudder.

...

Ice and Fire Island.

Reykjanes Peninsula, top of Elabaca Bay, about eight kilometers east of Grindavik, by the coast.

"Wow wow..."

The never-ending waves beat against the reefs on the shore, and the snow-white waves shattered.

The gray-green camping tents were erected at some unknown time, and some people were inserting iron poles into the soil, and then used this as a node to pull out a temporary cordon and connect the modular walls at the same time.

Farther away, near the junction of the sea and the land, many workers were manipulating construction machinery, quickly erecting a simple iron frame factory, trying to cover the continuous gray-white skeleton under the rock that collapsed and shattered due to the earthquake.

It's all people under Jerome's banner here.

Twelve years ago, during the financial crisis, Ice and Fire Island, a country with only more than 300,000 people, was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jerome chose to buy the bottom at that time, which also allowed him to extend his tentacles to various fields here, and have a considerable right to speak after the recovery of Ice and Fire Island.

His confidant chose to spend a lot of money to buy the bones as soon as they caught the fishermen, and quickly sent the fishermen to South Philippines to live a rich life.

This is done because their control in South Philippine is stronger enough to keep the fishermen from leaking information.

Then, when Jerome's people found the source of the bones along the shore, they immediately used their influence to win the development rights here, and prepared to cover up this amazing discovery.

Normally, this place is only about one kilometer away from the nearest highway. These measures are not safe enough, but there is an old saying: "Power is the best way to hide people's eyes and ears."

As long as the local government puts down an official document, it becomes reasonable to develop a tourist complex here, and passers-by will not pay more attention to the warning lines and notices.

Moreover, with the worrying efficiency of the Ice and Fire Island officials, as long as the local government conceals the report, it will take some time for the upper layers to know the specific news.

After all, tens of thousands of earthquakes in three weeks now, and an impending volcanic eruption, has drawn all their energy.

All Jerome needs is this time difference.

In his vision, when the Ice and Fire Island officials reacted, he had already obtained enough gains.

According to the most pessimistic plan, even if he is discovered, he will have enough capital to negotiate, and if he successfully enters the inner world, it will be even better.

In fact, Jerome's actions perfectly confirmed Tang You's view of "bulk country".

"boom!"

Closing the temporary iron door, Jerome wore an expensive and thin thermal coat, facing the wanton blowing sea breeze and looking at the hot construction site.

The wives and children of these people are all in his sphere of influence in Nanfei, so he dares to use these people.

He took the risk to come over in person because the matter was too big, and he was afraid that his subordinates had obtained mysterious power without his knowledge, escaped his control, or even directly counterattacked.

"Boss, those people are here."

Suddenly someone ran over and lowered his voice beside his ear.

Jerome nodded and saw several cars enter the place through the gate, and soon stopped in the temporary parking lot.

The door opened, and five men and women of different skin colors and ages got out of the car. They looked around curiously amid the incomparably noisy mechanical sound. Among them were Xie Penghai and Li Lanlan.

In addition to Jerome himself, there are fifteen people in group 0, but this time he only invited these five people.

He guarded his subordinates, but invited outsiders to participate in it. This was not out of madness, but more and more in the style of the "mysterious world".

In the past, Jerome obviously didn't believe in the illusory things such as luck and probability, but after learning that the mysterious power really existed, and the gods were not in vain, his thinking changed significantly.

There are so many people in Blue Star, but these people have independently discovered the secret and embarked on the road of exploring the inner world. This alone has left 99% of ordinary people behind.

In the words of Yan Guo, it is "the bell of luck".

Jerome hopes to use the "luck" of these people, and after he is ready, he will bring the real income of these people who are favored by luck.

Of course, he also took precautions against these people, so through the information he observed on weekdays, he specially selected these five people with the lowest background from the fifteen people.

Seeing that one of the five had noticed him, Jerome put on a standard smile and walked away.

"You are... No. 0?"

Although Xie Penghai was surprised by the smoothness of the road and the scale of the place, he quickly recovered and tried to ask.

As soon as these words came out, the other four people who were looking around immediately turned their heads to watch.

To this, Jerome smiled and nodded.

Li Lanlan and Xie Penghai looked at each other, but the young white woman with freckles showed a slight smile: "¨'It's not what I expected."

Jerome looked at it with interest: "You should be the 'dolphin', right? Can you tell me, why is it not what you expected?"

The white woman still kept smiling, but her pupils shrank imperceptibly.

She came here to do a strict identity disguise, including some fine-tuning of her face and body, and the five people gathered basically did not speak much, and she never talked about the code name at all. How does No. 0 know her identity?

Although he was shocked, "Dolphin" said calmly: "Because I have done a psychological profile of everyone in the group, I judged that No. 0 should be a wealthy, stable, ambitious, and at the same time not lacking. Gambling people."

Jerome gave a thumbs up.

Then, looking at the others, they gave out their respective code names one by one. Finally, in the confusion of everyone, they looked at "Dolphin" and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I'm fine on weekdays, and I have also learned some psychology."

Li Lanlan's eyes moved slightly, realizing the subtlety in the air.

But without waiting for everyone to think about it, Jerome immediately ran out of the important topic of the trip: "Everyone, you have come all the way, although I have prepared champagne and barbecue for you, but I think, I am afraid that you are not in the mood. "

"Let's go, I'll take you to see this amazing discovery about the inner world, what is it?"

Hearing this, Xie Penghai, Li Lanlan, "Dolphin", and the other two men who had been silent for a while were all heartbroken.

Although these five people still wondered why No. 0 wanted to share such important content with himself and others who were not relatives and not related, but the mood of wanting to see "important discoveries" at this moment obviously overshadowed their doubts.

Jerome took the people to the spacious factory that was about to be completed.

When everyone saw the clear cracks on the ground in this blockade area, and then thought of the earthquake news they saw before coming to Ice and Fire Island, they immediately realized something and realized that the so-called discovery of No. 0 was probably also caused by an earthquake.

When they arrived at the door of the factory building, Li Lanlan and Xie Penghai noticed that the security guard's lower back, which was covered by the hem of his clothes, was bulging.

This made her and Xie Penghai look at each other.

gun!

With Jerome's greeting, the security pushed open the big iron gate.

When the scene inside came into view, the hearts of the five people seemed to stop beating, and the color of uncontrollable horror rose from their faces little by little.

Looking around, I can see the light from the half of the roof that is not yet finished, reflecting the huge skeletons that extend into the sea, and are sometimes buried by mud and stones.

Although I don't know how long it is, the width of only the part that can be seen on the land is more than 30 meters!

With a width of more than 30 meters, what is the concept? How terrifying should this skeleton master be in life?

Even though he had seen it more than once, Jerome was still fascinated by the skeleton. He never felt that the inner world was so close to him. Fortunately, everyone else was in shock, and no one noticed his strangeness.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said: "After the technicians used the computer to compare with the skeleton specimens of the existing creatures on Blue Star, we have found the creature with the highest similarity. And that creature is..."

Looking at the gazes of the five people, he only said one word with deep eyes:

"snake!"
