Indescribable cyberpunk

The indicator light on the top of the recorder lights up green to show the working status.

“On July 25, 20 kilograms of fresh beef was provided. Shali’s size grew again, much smaller than two days ago. In addition, it showed affection again and had a special reaction when I approached. After several It was validated as a welcoming gesture and I think it has clicked with me, and given what happened in Mawala five years ago, I think the time is about to be ripe to try to integrate.”

The gentleman sat in front of the culture cabin, holding a recorder, staring at the gravel in the cabin that was constantly devouring large pieces of bloody beef, with undisguised joy in his eyes.

"Mr. Gentleman, Miss Black Swan is here to visit."

The smart system next to him issued a prompt. The gentleman glanced at his watch, stood up and pressed a button on the experimental table. The entire culture chamber sank into the table and some scattered equipment reappeared.

"Ask her to wait outside, I'll go out right away."

Picking up the suitcase that had been prepared, the gentleman took one last look at the layout of the room and confirmed that there was nothing special before turning around and leaving the room.

On the brick path between the lawns at the door, a black swan is standing on the left side holding an umbrella. His eyes fall on the lamps on the side. There are a few black mosquitoes swirling around the white halo created by the rain curtain, as if they are preparing to take advantage of the He didn't pay attention to the light, so he went up and gave it a hard "come on".

"How are things going lately?"

The gentleman opened the umbrella and walked out of the house, looked at the black swan and asked.

"The dream medicine has been used up and needs to be replenished."

Black Swan followed the gentleman, climbed up half a body, and reported the situation as if he was a subordinate.

"Well, that's part of today's deal. I'm asking about the rest."

A silver-white sports car was approaching from one side of the street. When the two of them were in front of them, the avatar in the driving position slowly disappeared and the car door opened automatically.

Black Swan took two quick steps and went to the gentleman to take his umbrella and let him sit in the passenger seat first. Then he put away the umbrella and got into the driver's seat in the rain.

"The killing of the Dream Eater you sent to deal with the wind chime caused dissatisfaction among those behind it. Someone came to our door two days ago and wanted us to compensate for the loss. Do we need to compensate them?"

Turning the car key, he pressed several buttons on the control screen with his fingers. The rainwater on the windshield in front of the car was completely cleared in a few seconds. Black Swan asked cautiously.

"Dream Eater. He can't even deal with a person who has just entered the dreamland, and yet he dares to turn around and ask for compensation from me."

He and the Dream Eater in the Dreamland cannot be called an alliance, but a relatively solid trading relationship. The person before was just a temporary collaborator. Who knew that the "moisture" was so big, and now the Dream Eater People actually asked for compensation.

Is your guy a loser or is it my fault?

It’s just that some things can only be thought about in the mind after all.

"Just take a few things to throw away, and tell them by the way, I still need someone to help teach me about the wind chimes. Don't use rubbish to prevaricate me this time!"

The gentleman is not ready to break up with the Dream Eaters just yet. Although he has made a lot of preparations in the past few years, it is still not time to officially express his attitude.

After all, scolding someone feels good for a while, but after scolding someone, some situations he doesn't want to see will probably happen.

Of course, these thoughts are based on the premise that the gentleman did not hear what the black swan was going to say next.

"They want the Searing Box as compensation."

As if he was twisting his body uncomfortably, Black Swan's tone was much softer when he said this.

Because she knew that this sentence would anger the gentleman.

Bang!

The palm of his hand fell on the inner crossbar of the car door and made a dull sound. As expected, after the title "Scorching Box" appeared, the originally calm gentleman remained silent, but his frown and whole body emanated... His aura is enough to let anyone know that he is no different from a dormant active volcano.

"Who revealed this news?"

The Searing Box can be said to be the biggest harvest this year, not the past two years. Naturally, a gentleman will not allow anyone to covet it.

"It should be those members of the expedition team. You know, although they have signed a confidentiality agreement, these people in the harbor area will only abide by the agreement during the cooperation process. Once the activity is over, it will be difficult for us to continue to restrain them. We can only You need to spend some money to get some information from them.”

"I take back what I said before. Tomorrow and tonight, you go and tell them that I can make amends for the previous incident, but if you want the Searing Box, don't even think about it!"

His clenched fist was loosened, and he tapped the car door handle with his index finger. After the car had driven for a while, the gentleman continued,

"Change the things tonight. Don't leave them where they are. Don't touch them. I'll take care of them myself."

The existence of the Searing Box being known to the Dream Eater is really one of the worst pieces of bad news for the gentleman during this period, but it is impossible for him to give up this treasure. All he can do now is try his best to follow They moved things around while moving to a safer place, so that they wouldn't have to be thought about all day long.

After nearly 20 minutes of driving, the two of them arrived at their destination.

Egret Square is an entertainment square in the center of Shuguang City.

Even on a rainy night, there was still a large flow of people here. The gentleman and the black swan were no longer in the same state as when they first went out, but were walking side by side on the pedestrian street.

Umbrellas are of no use here, because there is a dome covering the entire square above the square. It not only blocks the rain, but also projects the rainy scene in the entire square through virtual imaging equipment installed outside the shops in the square.

So that everyone is in the "rain", but not in the rain.

This design may seem a bit "overstuffed", but to the Shuguang City Central Government, this facility is something that highlights the city's standards and can be regarded as a viewing attraction in Egret Square itself.

"coming."

Walking around a real big banyan tree in the center of the square, the gentleman stopped and said.

On the other side of the banyan tree, a man wearing a beret and a pair of dark blue round glasses on his nose was looking at them. He also held a suitcase in his hand.

"Same as usual, 10 bottles of dream medicine."

The other party did not hesitate after noticing the gentleman and the black swan. He stepped in front of them and handed the suitcase to the gentleman while talking.

Obviously, the two parties have conducted similar transactions many times and even have some basis for trust.

"I recently got some information about Dream Eaters. I wonder if you are interested."

As part of the deal, the gentleman handed over his suitcase, but instead of leaving as usual, he spoke before the other party turned around.

"Um?"

Pushing up his glasses with his index finger, the man asked in surprise,

"In the past, you were unwilling to even tell me. Why did you suddenly take the initiative today? Are those guys targeting you?"

"It turns out that you people are far more reliable than the Dream Eaters. After working together for so long, I didn't expect that they would suddenly want it. How do you mean there is no middleman to make the difference?"

The Dream Eaters have set their sights on the Gentleman's Searing Box, and he doesn't have the capital to break up with these guys yet, so he tries his best to divert the Dream Eaters' attention to other places for himself. Buying time for preparation is the best option.

Of course, no information about the Searing Box can appear in Gentleman's Reason.

"No problem, we welcome any information you have about the Dream Eaters."

No matter what the reason for the gentleman's sudden change of heart, for them, the Dream Eater's information can never be too much.

"Let's talk somewhere else?"

The gentleman handed the suitcase to Black Swan and made a gesture of invitation, but the other party just shrugged and said it was no problem.

Gudu~Gudu~

The brown-red swimming crabs were soaked in the semi-boiling soup. The electric stove underneath continued to heat, and the cut potatoes, small rice cakes, chicken feet and a lot of shrimps were also rising and falling.

"Crabs and the sea, what can you think of?"

Zhu Jue asked as he stirred the crab stew in front of him with a spoon, picked out the rice cakes and chicken feet and put them into his bowl.

"I've only heard of the old man and the sea, but I don't understand the meaning of crab and the sea. Hey, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner and turn into Egret Square halfway."

Olivia, who was still wearing formal clothes, was sitting opposite Zhu Jue, using a fork to put the soft and glutinous potato pieces into her dinner plate. She would only leave for the rescue site tomorrow, and she was supposed to prepare at home tonight. As a result, Zhu Jue, who was searching for information in the Archaeological Association's database, suddenly asked her to come out to have dinner with her halfway through the search.

"Hey~ you have a mission tomorrow, we are friends, why don't we treat you to a meal?"

With one hand supporting his chin, Zhu Jue was leaning sideways, chewing rice cakes, and his eyes were not in the restaurant.

"The latest news from the association is that it is not a sudden geological disaster. It has been determined that a special situation has occurred. I am afraid there will be trouble this time."

While the Dawn City rescue team was preparing, a nearby team had already gone over to check the situation. Although they did not dare to enter the underground ruins rashly, there was no problem in conducting preliminary inspections through some equipment, but the final result was obviously not optimistic.

"I told you it's an underground ruin. If there aren't a few monsters in it, do you believe it? I'll leave this with you for the time being. It might be of some use."

Zhu Jue glanced at Olivia, who had a solemn expression, smacked his lips, lowered his head and took out something from his handbag, put it on the table and pushed it over.

Inside the palm-sized ring engraved with mysterious runes is a special twisted five-pointed star. In the middle of the five-pointed star, a small black dot similar to a spark is made of some kind of material, with an additional small dot on the top. There is a string threaded through the hole for binding around the neck or wrist.

Old seal!

Zhu Jue did not take it to Greenland five years ago, so after returning to Yecheng to retrieve the wind chime, the old seal returned to his hands.

"You give it to me?"

With her eyes widened, Olivia knew that this old seal was the best life-saving tool at certain times.

"Yeah, I'm not giving it to you. I'm giving it to you for safekeeping temporarily. You are not allowed to damage it."

"I know, I will take good care of it."

Olivia grabbed the old seal and hung it around her neck. While "perfunctory" with Zhu Jue, she connected the two ends of the string together in front of him and tied a tight knot.

The brows that were frowning before relaxed, the corners of his mouth curved in pleasure, and there was even a sparkle in his eyes.

Zhu Jue suddenly had a premonition that this old seal might be leaving him.
