"Thoughts jump from time to time, consciousness gaps, and sensory disorders."

"When there is no reason for the normal increase of inspiration, too often "witness" or "believe that you have witnessed" mysterious phenomena."

"Think that the mystical mediums such as secret rituals, prayers, secret atmospheres, ritual vessels, etc. that you have come into contact with are only effective and there is no problem, and there is a tendency to use them without restraint."

"Confusion in the cognition of self or others' identities, fantasizing that there are connections beyond biology, such as reincarnation, apostles, nemesis, vengeful spirits, etc."

"Under the revelation of the Lord of Dangerous Witnesses, believe that you have some kind of secret hints or information guidance, which can be used as a guide for yourself to seek benefits and avoid harm or to see the truth."

At five o'clock in the morning in the hotel, the not-so-bright gas lamp was still burning at the head of the bed, accompanied by the rustling sound of paper flipping.

This booklet, which was actually published by the Guidance School and packed in a briefcase with relevant documents and procedures for the appointment, was flipped back and forth by Fanning for more than an hour.

"If I have to strictly match the above characteristics one by one, I may need to call the helpline below immediately," Fanning curled his lips.

After a series of calming processes, he decided to overturn his previous overconfident conjectures and handle the information on both ends of the current contradictions with caution.

- Neither over-interpret the connection between the mobile phone chat records and the events related to this life, nor pay more attention to the warnings about "snakes" and "keep your phone" and "it doesn't matter where you put it, don't destroy it."

Fanning felt extremely sleepy.

He returned to Uvlansell early yesterday morning, experienced the intense action in the sealing room, consumed his inspiration in the "incinerator", and encountered a lot of things with too much information.

Even the time on the train to and from, because of the disguise of "Vasius", he was always tense. Except for entering the dream "Spark Field", he has not closed his eyelids for nearly 23 hours.

Fortunately, sleep recovery efficiency is very high now. After more than an hour, he opened his eyes and felt that his energy had recovered by 70% to 80%. He chanted the prayer about "Endless Fugue" in the migration, so the astral body brought with it the residual sense of disharmony, and finally settled into a light-colored gelatinous light curtain on the etheric body.

Compared with the reverberation brought out when he was promoted to a knowledgeable person for the first time, it is more resilient and dense at this time, and the skin is covered with delicate elasticity and color.

Based on the performance of "bullet penetrating the light curtain to slow down", Fanning speculated that this reverberation may involve some of the mysteries of "expansion and contraction" in the polyphonic techniques of "transposition", "retrograde", "expansion and contraction", "reflection" and "close connection and response" - the overall duration of the theme notes is proportionally enlarged or reduced, and the speed of the melody is accelerated or slowed down. In practice, they usually form a counterpoint relationship with the original theme.

Although Fanning can now actively call out the invisible power of the "candle" phase, it only has some temperature control characteristics of "transposition" and "retrograde", but the passive protection characteristics of this "expansion and contraction" reverberation are very suitable for the upcoming accident risk investigation activities.

As early as last night when he walked out of the headquarters building, Fanning realized that the activities of the secret organization in the "Door of Coincidence" were inevitably tied to his own interests.

If the "Door of Coincidence" was opened, the Special Patrol Office would most likely try to seize the "Disaster" with its strength and style, and the clues about the "Old Days" would most likely be seized by Poglerich afterwards.

Since he had been involved, Fanning analyzed what he could and could not do in response to this threat.

He found that there was a very subtle problem here: if he dared to hinder the Special Patrol Office from seizing the "Disaster", it would undoubtedly be a provocation to authority without knowing his own strength, but if he tried to prevent the opening of the "Door of Coincidence\

,"this would become a just performance of duty. Although the Special Patrol Office disregarded life and said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, it could not criticize an official for protecting the safety of the people and fighting against the secret organization.

"How did you rest?"

In the early morning, by the French window of the restaurant, Sheeran held a knife and fork, cut a small piece of the cheese and ham muffin on the plate and passed it into his mouth.

The girl was in another strange state of reverberation. Although her figure was always visible, her spirit gave people a tendency to temporarily wrap her and disappear at any time.

"Highly efficient sleep." Fanning used a small piece of wood to mix the nuts and honey in the yogurt cup.

"It's just a little short, right?" She squeezed the peeled hard-boiled eggs into Fanning's plate.

"Huh?" Fanning looked up.

"You should stay up late thinking about something."

"If possible, I will try my best to prevent those secret organizations from opening the "Door of Coincidence" while investigating the whereabouts of the "Experience Officer" Erov and several others."

"This is what we should do." Xilan said seriously, "Especially the opening of this door may be accompanied by an accident with a huge number of casualties. Have you thought about where we should go first today?"

Where to go first? It's a question.

As Fanning chewed his food, his mind came up with the mystical entanglement revelation about the remains of the other source god that he saw in the "incinerator".

The golden misty church means "old days", the reflection of the dream itself means "burning furnace", the transparent and sharp sky steps mean "blade", and the floating black ruins mean "hidden lamp" and "fountain in the painting".

The rest are "red pool" and "disaster".

Although I don't know who the woman in the red church arcade background is, it is easy to subconsciously associate it with "red pool".

Therefore, using the elimination method, could it be that the revelation of "disaster" is

It is similar to the scene of an underground square in the city, with the gentlemen and ladies passing by, the steel pipes on the interior walls of the building, and the vague black and white GG brand.

This scene seems to be very consistent with a certain area of ​​Santaramburg?

Fan Ning quickly cleared the food on the plate and stood up.

"I'll call Roy, and then we'll go to the subway."

…

On the fifth floor of the Royal Conservatory of Music's administrative building, there is a large and luxurious room further back than the principal's office.

President McAdam is sitting at his desk, holding a cup of sweet ice tea in his hand. On the wall in front of him hangs the long oil painting "Hymn to Ezekiel" by academic master Ascher. The work was auctioned for 1,000 pounds, and its current market value may be between 40,000 and 60,000 pounds.

However, McAdam's eyes were not focused on this precious oil painting.

The steam pipe in the corner of the desk is connected to a "humidifier"-like device, and slightly fragrant smoke is spraying out from it.

The smoke floats in the air, constantly changing shapes under McAdam's gaze. Sometimes it is unrecognizable, and sometimes it has obvious characteristics that allow people to recognize the shape of things or even the silhouette of a certain scene.

"Dad, there are two things." There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in Roy, the door is unlocked."

"According to your instructions, when the Seventh Action Group was supervising Earl Gardner's coal mining company, they actually asked engineers to eliminate a gas pipeline leakage overnight. It was located in a rare and inconspicuous corner of the deep well. Fortunately, it was timely. It was found that otherwise the consequences of an explosion would be disastrous and the death toll would likely exceed three digits.”

McAdam said "hmm" to express his understanding.

"What areas should we focus on next?" Roy asked.

"The pre-processing production lines of several ceramic factories in St. Euverney Parish, the paint shop of Kent Automobile Company, the liquid chlorine warehouse of Tonalaisen Chemical Plant, and the northern end station of the St. Taranburg Metro." As McAdam said The direction was reported in a low voice, and the fragrant mist that presented the scene gradually dispersed into an irregular pattern.

"There are four pieces of information this time? We are seriously short of manpower, and so are other organizations. We have to continue to increase the police dispatch of the liquid chlorine warehouse. Didn't we just investigate and solve a rare major safety hazard the day before yesterday? Why is there something about it again? Its revelation?" Roy wondered.

"I also feel that something is fishy." The next moment, McAdam stood directly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the scenery. "I felt like I was instructing everyone to squeeze the air bubbles in a soft space. I pinched the air bubbles every time, but In fact, it just squeezed it away, or just changed its position, or made a bigger bubble appear in the space.”

"But we have no choice but to put out fires with fire."

"The second thing is?"

"Mr. Fanning called and suggested that while paying attention to the safety of our members, we send additional manpower to each station of the Santa Ramburg subway."

"He also noticed the subway?" McAdam turned around, "Well, apart from this, were there any other occasions mentioned?"

McAdam's question shows that continuing to increase manpower is not a realistic suggestion.

He definitely did not ignore the hidden dangers of the Santa Ramburg subway. On the contrary, he paid most attention to this place.

He has deployed additional manpower three times in a row in the past few days.

Several major official organizations are inspecting thousands of smoky factories and workshops in Santa Ramburg, as well as schools, stations, theaters, churches, commercial streets and other densely populated public areas, with different focuses but also cooperation. place.

It can be seen from the quantity that compared with the supervision density of two knowledgeable people at a time in various factories, the number of knowledgeable people arranged by the Bologna School and the special inspection office's external coordinators to inspect the subway, as well as the dispatched police force, are already close to the former. Nearly ten times the amount.

Although there is only one line of the Santa Ramburg Metro, it is very large and has a sense of violent aesthetics. It is more than 40 kilometers long and has 16 subway stations. At least ten of them are underground squares with huge flow of people. There are also a total of 24 round-trip turnover trains, and each train has 5 carriages.

If we also count the staff operating stations, signal stations, and boiler rooms that people will not go to, but also involve safety hazards,

The number of knowledgeable people is too small, and it is impossible to take care of all places without missing any blind spots.

If additional manpower is deployed, the gap in hundreds of factories with the same hidden dangers will be even greater. A large accident may break out somewhere else before any abnormality is discovered in the subway.

"No, Mr. Fanning only mentioned the subway." Roy shook his head.

McAdam pondered for a moment: "Let's dispatch 10 more members from other inspection points. If it really can't be removed, five will do."

In fact, he knew that even 30 knowledgeable people could not take care of the huge size of the subway system.

"At the same time, he suggested that the best way is to shut it down while investigating." Roy said.

"This idea is impossible to realize." McAdam frowned. "The current way of limiting the current flow has made it difficult for the councilors to withstand the pressure from the public."

…

Tonalaisen station at the northern end of the Santa Ramburg metro.

"Why can't it be completely shut down?" Qiong asked, squatting on the ground while holding her skirt.

Behind her stood three police officers and seven or eight subway technicians. In front of her, several workers were clearing away a large pile of discarded construction steel plates and stone slabs that were taller than a person.

Inspiration told her that there seemed to be something buried underneath.

“The shutdown and restart of the vast steam system is a cost of nearly seven figures in gold pounds, which will be paid for by the Tioline Railway Company, the government’s transport finance and investors’ money, and this is only the most minor factor. "

The voice of Lou Adair, who had just arrived, came from behind.

This is the intersection of Tulip Parish in the central part and St. Overney Parish in the northeast. At 7:30 in the morning, the subway station was packed with people.

Even on the buffer platform at the junction of the tunnel and the steam fan room where everyone is currently standing, noises coming from the direction of the public platform can be heard.

"Just the most minor factor?" Qiong's voice was soft and confused.

"On the trial opening day of the subway, the number of people who tried it was 50,000. This number has now increased five to six times on average. Even with the current limit, there are more than 150,000 of them. They are either industrial workers, petty civil servants, technical engineers, or financial professionals. Practitioners, middle-class employees of enterprises, and businessmen who are rushing to negotiate orders.”

"Perhaps the elites at the top of the pyramid will not choose the subway as a mode of travel, but if the travel plans of these people are ruined, just looking at the industrial world, there will be thousands of factories whose steam systems and production lines will also face closure and If the restart occurs, the income of industrial workers' families with a population of more than one million will be interrupted, and there will be greater chaos and security incidents on the ground."

Lu looked towards the public platform in the distance.

The flow restriction measures have made the queues of people waiting in line as neat as wheat, while the people outside the cordon waiting to be diverted into the station are like endless dense weeds blown by the wind.

"Once the huge machine of the subway starts running, no one in this industrial city can stop it. Not the authorities, not the factory owners, not the middle class and workers, not the extraordinary organizations that represent the interests of all classes."

…

Noblewin Quarry station at the southern end of the line.

"All the characteristics are basically consistent with the apocalyptic scene. There is no doubt that it is a subway station, but"

Under the black silk top hat, Fan Ning looked around at the surrounding environment.

"Are you sure there are only black and white GG cards?" Sheeran asked in a low voice, "We have been looking for three stations starting from the southernmost terminal, and all the GG cards are colorful."

"Could it be that your dreams are all black and white, so the poster is also black and white? Why don't you recall the content carefully instead of the color?"

"No." Fan Ning looked down at the cane and was lost in thought. "The gentlemen and ladies in that revelation picture are all colored. I'm sure of this. Besides, I don't remember the content. It's too vague."

"Hey, Fan Ning, conductor, Miss Sheeran!" A greeting voice with a pure imperial accent sounded behind him.

The two turned around and saw Mark, a Hoffman Records executive with a beard and a briefcase in his hand.

"You had a whole day off yesterday after the performance, so when will you come to our company to discuss the publishing details of the next record?"

"Just for the next few days." Fan Ning responded, then turned his attention to the secretary and several staff members behind him.

"What are you doing?" He asked with a smile, pointing to the large bundle of scrolls in the arms of those people and the toolbox in their hands.

"Posters, we are going to put up posters in the carriage." Mark said with a smile on his face, "The artist's closing ceremony is coming soon, and the follow-up sales of the record need to continue to build momentum."

As he spoke, a look of dissatisfaction and complaint appeared on his face again, "It's just that these guys from the railway company are really demanding, and they even offered a sky-high price of 20,000 pounds a month!"

At the boss's signal, a staff member squatted down, pulled out a scroll, opened it, and showed their promotional materials to this artist with strong market appeal.

So Fan Ning's eyes froze.

Although he hadn't had time to see the content of the poster clearly, at a glance, he could see that the design was only black and white!
