Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva
Chapter 4 Extinct Fluorescence
Raindrops made clinking sounds as they fell on the steel partitions and inclined ladders. Occasionally, someone walked by with an umbrella and could hear the splashing of the raincloth.
Hercia put the information bag on top of her head, supported the corroded and rough guardrail with one hand, and then went down the stairs a little quickly.
The black shoes stepped on some water splashes and made a thumping sound, and the black knee socks were also wetted by the rain, making them appear darker.
After a while, she hurriedly walked into the inner structure of the patio, so she didn't have to get caught in the rain.
Putting down the information bag and shaking the water droplets on it, the gray-haired girl slowed down and looked around with a little leisure.
Compared to the huge patio, this is just a small structure in its inner wall, and many similar entrances and exits can be seen in the distance around it, like spider webs, leading to the complex underground world.
Passing through the long steel corridor, Hercia and several other scattered passers-by came to wait in front of the vertical elevator.
Kakaka——
Amidst the sound of heavy gears turning, accompanied by a slight shaking of the floor, the large industrial elevator was slowly pulled up from the ground, and the rust and wear on the corners of the elevator could still be seen through the steel wire mesh.
But these are all minor details. The elevator car as a whole is like a rough monster, with a different kind of industrial aesthetic feeling. The strong, solid, and heavy main structure gives people a sense of peace of mind.
Its interior is about 16 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 8 meters high. The area may be larger than many people's family homes, and it looks very empty when you walk in.
More than 300 years ago, this kind of elevator was mainly used to pull goods, but now it is changed to civilian use, and its internal aspect ratio is designed according to the size of the armored combat vehicles of the Federation at that time, the purpose is to transport in and out of the "Viper" at that time. Snake-R2' medium tank.
Hercia recalled the history she had seen in the materials before, and walked in together with several other passers-by. Her black shoes stepped on the black fence floor, making a slight echo, and then some water droplets and dust flowed through the gaps in the fence. fell down.
There is another layer under the fence floor, which is used to catch the dust, muddy water and garbage falling from above. When cleaning, you only need to wash the surface of the floor with a high-pressure water gun, and then dump the garbage in the lower compartment, which is very convenient. Save effort.
There are also advanced and high-end elevators in the Commonwealth, like glass bubble balls, which shuttle quietly and quickly through transparent pipes, and the interior is extremely clean, but that kind of thing is very expensive to maintain, and it is not suitable for people like Arpeggio City. industrial city.
After waiting for two minutes, the elevator started to start. Hercia watched the thick steel hatch slowly close, and then the elevator began to fall amidst the sound of gears turning, the speed went from slow to fast, and finally the sound of gears turned into one , without intermission, just like screaming.
They will pass through the 7 kilometers deep crust in the elevator, and then they will arrive at the underground urban area of Arpeggio City. The reason why the urban area is arranged so deep underground is due to historical reasons.
The emerald skirt planet has been developing vigorously and rapidly. It was during the federal civil war. This planet is a military production site, so it is natural to be prepared to face the possibility of enemy attacks.
In order to preserve most of the vitality in the orbital bombing of starships, the industrial cities built at that time were basically underground, and the dome of the city had an extremely strong armor layer to resist the bombing of ground-piercing nuclear bombs, and the 'Viper -R2' type is also a chariot that is more suitable for street fighting in underground buildings, and can be used as a temporary fortress to block intersections.
After more than ten minutes, the elevator suddenly passed through the dark tunnel, a bright light appeared in front of the eyes, and its speed slowly slowed down.
The underground world with orange lights in the dimness appeared in front of my eyes.
The steel buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, a few suspended vehicles shuttle in the air, some pedestrians can be seen shopping under the street lights, and many neon signs are also flickering in the dark environment, and the pictures in them are constantly changing , in an attempt to attract the attention of passers-by.
[Floor 42 underground, already arrived]
This line of writing appeared on the old display screen in the elevator, and the heavy door was slowly opened.
After stepping out of the elevator, there are familiar stairs and streets. Heshia has walked this road for more than ten years, and she is very familiar with it, and her steps are much lighter.
The 1-30th floor of Arpeggio City is the crustal layer, with only a few buildings, the 30-40th floor is the armored floor, which cannot be lived in, and the 40-45th floor is the public floor, where many supermarkets, shops, restaurants, public institutions, and squares gather. ,etc.
The 45th to 50th floors are office floors, which are mainly used by some companies and enterprises. The 50th to 70th floors are divided into several blocks, some are residential floors, some are industrial floors, and the 70th floor is the unknown area.
What are you going to have for dinner tonight?
Walking on the side of the street, the girl looked at the supermarket with lights on in the distance, thinking about how much money and budget she still had, excluding the emergency fund that could not be used, and the reserve fund left for the next two months of life, now she There are only 525 federal coins at hand, no, it should be 405 federal coins, because it cost 120 to take the suspension car just now.
It's so distressing, 120 federal coins. Thinking of this, Heshia's mood became depressed, and her fingers stirred in front of her.
Get ready to make money.
Just graduated from junior high school now, and there are still a few months before high school, so I have to think about how to earn some living expenses.
With various ideas floating in her mind, Hercia walked into this familiar supermarket.
Under the bright white light, various commodities are placed in the square grid, and there are rows of fruits and vegetables not far away, some of which are locally produced in Arpeggio City, and some of them are shipped from other places.
[T6 white line japonica rice, 6.23 federal currency/500g, T6 snow-patterned cabbage, 5.34 federal currency/200g, T6 fresh red meat, 20.12 federal currency/500g, T5 white strawberry, 37.52 federal currency/200g, T5 grade Purple liquid mulberry, 45.06 federal currency/200g...]
"Strawberries are still so expensive..." Hercia muttered in a low voice, looking away.
Since her father left, she lived alone, so she seldom had the opportunity to eat some expensive fruits. The last time she bought a box was for her birthday, she reluctantly bought a box. She was very happy when she ate it, but after eating it, she also felt I am too extravagant.
The so-called T6 grade refers to ingredients/industrial products without any extraordinary power, which are easy to produce and low in price, while T5 grade refers to ingredients/industrial products that use less extraordinary technology in the production process, although the final product There is no special effect, but because of the excellent quality, the price is generally higher.
It's better to buy something simple. After making up her mind, Hercia walked through the shelves, picked out a few dishes she usually likes to eat, put them in the basket beside her, and came to the automatic cashier after a while.
[Welcome, now for your settlement...]
Words appeared on the AI's display screen, and then the mechanical arms on both sides began to bag Hesia, and displayed the prices one by one, and added them to the settlement.
[A total of 40.67 federal currency will be charged to you, because you are a long-term customer, I will give you a discount, and finally charge you 37.24 yuan]
"Thank you~"
Hersia stretched out her white wrist, approached the cash register, beeped, the settlement was completed, and then took the bag handed over by the robot.
Federal residents have microchips implanted in their wrist bones, which can be used as ID cards and payments, which is very convenient.
After walking out of the supermarket, Hercia continued to walk towards an elevator at the corner of the street, and then descended to the 62nd floor of the C3 area where she lived.
A few minutes later, the girl with a handbag walked out of the elevator, the elevator door behind her slowly closed, and the bright white light emitted from the inside of the elevator was also slowly closed.
It is a dark and quiet world in front of me. The corridors outside the elevator extend in all directions. You can see the dim and intermittent orange ceiling lights between the corridors. However, some of these ceiling lights are damaged and extinguished, and some are covered with thick dust and stains. Not bright.
In the spacious corridor, you can see some messy trash cans. The walls on both sides are full of various graffiti, including slogans protesting the government, slogans and mottos of industrial groups back then, and words cursing each other between neighbors. The pasted pictures and papers that broke the news of each other's scandals were randomly distributed on the walls, so that it was difficult to see the original dark red anti-rust coating on the walls.
Living in such an environment, most of them are people with lower incomes in Arpeggio City, and the security is not very good, but Hercia has no choice now.
In fact, she did not live in such an environment since she was a child. Six years ago, that is, before Hercia was 10 years old, she also had a very beautiful home. Her parents had a good income and lived in an upper-level residential area. The environment is very good, and there is also a public sky space, where you can see the simulated sky scenery, enjoy the natural wind, and play on the lawn and under the trees.
However, with the successive deaths of his mother and sister, the property of the family was also rapidly depleted, and finally had to move to the lower residential area.
Her father also left a year ago, leaving only a letter to let Heshia live a good life.
‘I don’t know where the old man is now, maybe he went to some illegal area to mine. ’ Sometimes Hercia thinks of that irresponsible daddy who ran away suddenly.
Passing through the long corridor, and occasionally meeting some familiar people on the way, Hersia would nodded a little nervously, and then smiled. In fact, the more polite way to respond should be to open the mouth, call the other person's name, and then simply say something. Two sentences.
But this kind of thing is still too difficult for the girl. She is afraid that she will call the wrong name for a while, and she doesn't know what to say. She always feels awkward, so it's better to just keep smiling and nod.
Fortunately, after a long time, most of the residents here have gotten used to each other, and others will not embarrass her or anything.
Turning another corner, Hercia stopped in front of a passage, where 4 children gathered, one of whom was still standing and wiping tears.
"Don't cry." One of them grabbed and shook the crying child, trying to calm him down in this way.
"It's really timid." Another child next to him said.
"What should we do now? He's been crying all the time and it's so annoying. If your lord sees it, he'll blame us again."
Several children seemed to be in some kind of distress.
"You..." The girl didn't want to speak, but these children blocked the way.
"Ah, it's the gray-haired big sister."
"She is a sister with excellent grades."
"A person who never speaks." The evaluations of several children can be said to be quite true, reflecting the neighbors' impression of Hercia.
Although she was a bit introverted and timid, but after all, she was a few familiar neighbors and children, and Heshia was not as nervous as the outside world.
"What are you doing here?" The voice was like a thin light gray line across the sky, quiet and unobtrusive.
"The light in front is broken, and it may also be because the power is cut off inside." A child pointed to the dark passage ahead.
"We wanted to go back together, but after we hadn't gone far, Lulu suddenly cried in fright, and then ran back."
"If you let her go again, you will refuse to move. How timid you are."
"Actually, I'm also a little scared." The child in the corner who hadn't spoken before added at this moment.
Was the power outage? Heshia looked up at the tunnel in the distance. The road was about 200 meters long, which was not too long, but because the lights inside were off, it was very dark.
After observing the meeting for a while, nothing unusual was found. Heshia stepped forward, turned on the lighting settings in the personal terminal, and a beam of light shone out, but compared to the tunnel with a diameter of seven or eight meters, this beam of light was not so Just big.
"Follow me." She said as she turned around and saw a few pairs of expectant eyes behind her.
Still a little afraid of children, the girl thought in her heart.
Compared with mature and sensible adults, children's behavior is sometimes unpredictable, and Hercia is not very good at dealing with such situations. If she didn't meet by chance today, she would usually stand far away.
"That's amazing, a big sister with a personal terminal."
"There is light."
"It shouldn't matter if you follow along."
The girl who was crying before also quieted down at this time, and was led by her companions to follow Hercia. The current situation is like a mother duck crossing a river with four ducklings.
But today's little guys are quite cute, and the girl felt a little peace of mind, and then walked into this dark tunnel.
The shoes echoed on the steel floor. Occasionally, the sound of water dripping in the dark and the sound of liquid flowing in the pipes could be heard. With a few children, Hercia walked ahead step by step.
Originally, she thought it was just a small episode of going home, until at a certain moment, strange heart palpitations suddenly emerged.
When there were more than 50 meters away from the exit, a black shadow slammed through the light cone of the lighting and rushed towards the glowing personal terminal in the girl's hand. The huge force almost knocked the girl over, and there was a shocking sound coming from her wrist. pain.
The square personal terminal flew out, landed on the ground and rolled rapidly, and slid far away. With the sound of shattering and glass cracking, the light went out instantly, and several children cried in panic from the tunnel. The shouts became chaotic for a while.
This sudden upheaval made Hercia flustered, but the screams of the children behind her kept reminding her of the situation at the moment.
Calm down, calm down, think of a way, you have to deal with it, now is not the time to run away
These words kept echoing in Hersia's heart, her legs trembling against the cold wall, the pain in her right hand still persisted, and she could feel the wet and viscous blood flowing from the surface of her skin.
Pressing her head with her left hand, her knuckles were stiff and trembling, Heshia finally calmed down a bit.
"Huh—huh—" She felt that her breathing had never been so intense and tense.
As her chest rose and fell, Hercia slowly propped herself up from the wall she was leaning against and stood up.
"You guys, come behind me first." She said in a trembling voice.
But those children just cried and cried, no one heard or cared.
"Shut up!" After stomping her feet, a sharp roar came out, almost making Hercia unable to believe that it was her own voice.
The children finally stopped crying.
"Come behind me!" The voice was quick, and there was a little panting in it.
Several children groped and stumbled in the dark and ran behind Hercia. Only then did the girl focus on dealing with the enemies in the dark environment ahead.
Although I couldn't see clearly, the sound of chewing glass slag and metal in the darkness was still so clear and terrifying.
mutant beast? Runaway machine? Still a crazy person, Heshia guessed the target in her heart, but unfortunately her personal terminal was broken at this time, otherwise she could directly contact the nearby riot control and self-discipline unit.
But there is no other choice at the moment, as she muttered silently in her heart, the extraordinary core in her body began to function, and dots of faint blue brilliance emerged from her pupils, forming a simple symbol.
Withering Sequence 2 · Dark Visitation, activate——
As if the invisible light and shadow suddenly extended on itself, the originally dark tunnel showed another scene in Hercia's vision.
This is a black and white world, with countless spider webs that outline everything, and not far in front of her, a restless soul consciousness is also displayed, which is constantly twisting and cannot be seen clearly. As a Sequence 2 job agent, Dark Visitation doesn't have much combat ability, but it is very good at scouting. It is suitable for all kinds of environments, and it can also see ghosts, ghost creatures, soul spirits, etc. that are invisible to ordinary people.
Machines do not have soul consciousness, so negating, mutated beasts will not have such a full consciousness and spiritual body, so it should be a person who has lost control and gone crazy, Hersia was a little determined.
Just like human beings can make the spirit influence the reality with the help of the Argonaut particles, if there are flaws in the supernatural core built during the practice of supernatural sequences, it will gradually cause spiritual pollution, making people slowly go crazy or become fools.
This is also the reason why many people remain in a certain sequence for the rest of their lives and do not continue to advance, because forced advancement can cause self-destruction on the spot, or go crazy and stupid.
After observing for a few seconds, some information appeared in Heshia's mind.
Runaway · Human
Physical appearance: 32-40 years old, part of the body deformed
Extraordinary Sequence: Dragon Sequence 3 Unknown (Evaluation: Incomplete Red Bronze Level)
Attack method: Fangs and Fangs (Lv.2), Claws (lv.1)
Ability: Physical Enhancement (Lv.2) Beast Sense (Lv.1)
——
The above information is based on what Heshia has learned. Although it is not accurate and comprehensive, it is enough for now.
The strength is not strong, but now I don't have suitable weapons and attack methods in my hands, and the girl feels a little bitter when she thinks of this.
However, there is not much time left for her. This almost beast has almost chewed up Hercia's personal terminal, and when it finishes eating, it is time to launch an attack.
Think of a way, a trace of sweat slowly left on Heshia's forehead, she felt cold and hot on her back, and the nerves in her right hand still twitched from time to time, and she felt pain.
At the moment of high tension, adrenaline began to be secreted, she took a deep breath tremblingly, her body lowered slightly, and it was best to be ready to react at any time.
Currently, I can't find a suitable weapon, so my only means of attack is to use the withering sequence's primary spirit purification formula at close range, using the withering sequence's strong lethality to the soul body to deal with the enemy's mental body, and destroy its soul, or Hit to the point where I can't take care of myself.
But this process takes at least 5-7 seconds, and she probably has to hold the opponent's head with her hand, and her body is definitely not as strong as the enemy who practiced the Dragon Sequence, not to mention the opponent has fangs and sharp claws...
Before Heshia could figure out what method to use, the other party had finished eating and rushed over again.
In the pitch-black environment, the sharp claws slashed across the metal floor, making a sharp and piercing sound, and the hissing hot air kept approaching as it moved. Even though it was invisible at the moment, the beast-like madness was still shocking.
With a kick on her toes, Heshia moved sideways, hoping to attract the other party's attention, avoid hurting the children behind her, and at the same time let herself look for opportunities while moving.
However, her thoughts quickly fell through.
When she moved and made a sound, the enemy seemed to have finally found the target, and the speed of movement suddenly accelerated. Before Hercia could react, she was directly hit by it.
During the impact, the right arm collapsed, the bones broke, and then the severe colic made Hercia almost faint, and her body flew backwards, hitting the cold and damp tunnel wall, and the huge shock seemed to eject her heart Come.
The brain was full of gold stars, and the body slid down along the wall of the tube, while the enemy who was close at hand was panting, a sharp claw pressed Heshia's left shoulder, and the heavy weight pressed down, drawing a bloody groove , and the other sharp teeth were aimed at her right shoulder and bit down directly.
The sound of bone smashing sounded like firecrackers, and then there was the sound of chewing flesh and blood.
The severe pain almost drained all of Hercia's consciousness, and she spasmed and twitched unconsciously.
will die
That hopeless premonition came instantly, being so close to her, even made Hercia begin to have some kind of hallucinations, such as a beautiful childhood, a sister she admired, parents playing with her, etc...
Is it going to end here...
No, not yet, there are still many things that have not been done——
The tombstone in the dark rain, the black flowers placed on it, the back view of a man who lost his soul and left, the experience of being ridiculed and cursed by others, the ideal hidden in the heart, the desire for the future...
Uh, cracking, toothache sounded from her throat, as if the pharyngeal bone and vocal cords were pulled, the blood was continuously draining from Hercia's body, and her only movable left hand kept flailing and struggling frantically. The middle tear pulled out a narrow gap, and his fingers barely reached the enemy's neck with blood stains.
No, it's not enough, this distance is not enough, the knowledge I taught in class is now reappearing in my mind like a stamped iron.
'The Purifying Formula is a general formula that can be used in Withering Sequence 2. It is used to clean up the remaining ghosts and broken consciousness. If you want to deal with living creatures, you must get close to the opponent's brain within 2.7cm, otherwise the magic power of purifying the formula will rapidly decay. , unable to cause effective damage to living organisms. '
The human skull is thick, and this distance is not enough!
Hersia's legs kicked on the ground indiscriminately, constantly rubbing against each other, while struggling to raise her waist, trying to make her hands a little higher.
It was just a little bit, just a little bit, she could even touch the hair, debris and scattered scales on the back of the opponent's head.
However, the other party had already gnawed on Hesia's right shoulder at this moment, and then raised his head again, biting Hesia's neck violently.
The sharp fangs pierced the trachea and throat, making Hesia's eyes go black, and blood began to pour into the trachea, and then her left hand dropped weakly, landing on the back of the enemy's head.
Being bitten through the neck made Hercia's life countdown, and the other's actions allowed her to finally touch the back of her head.
While tearing apart like a beast, the faint blue fluorescent lights up in the dark ground, so small and weak.
Slowly, the fluorescence fades away
Darkness returned to the tunnel again, and the beast-like roar disappeared, and there was a dead silence all around.
