Right on Target

Xiao Su was dizzy from the collision, and was overjoyed when she realized that the water level stopped floating, but then, the upward flowing water disappeared, and the traces on the pipe wall also disappeared.

Xiao Su said: "Time jumps to a stop, and the plot skips us. The current Yan Junxun has just entered the pipeline not long ago, and is still behind us."

Xie Zhenshu asked, "What's at the end of the pipe?"

Xiao Su said, "It's a storage room."

Xie Zhenshu said: "Let's go there and wait for Yan Junxun."

Xiao Su hugged Xie Zhenshu's head and said: "Good idea, but you have to run fast, ghost cars and birds are useless, and time will jump again."

They are the only people here who are not affected by time, so they will not flash to other places because of the jump of time, but Yan Junxunhui, no one knows where he will be after the next time jump stops, in case the time jumps At the beginning of this round of hunting, Xie Zhenshu and Xiao Su must not be able to wait. At that time, they have to leave the reflection and look for opportunities. At this moment, there is Hephaestus watching outside, so it may be difficult to come in. .

Xie Zhenshu continued to move forward along the pipeline, the gunshots behind him were messy, and the plot was going to a dangerous place. The pipeline is not easy to run, the ground is undulating, and the space is also large and small.

Xiao Su Wu muttered to himself: "Later, we will put the cross star into the keyhole... The keyhole refers to Yan Junxun's intracranial chip, but we can't touch him, and even if we touch him, we can't open his head... Damn... what on earth do I mean..."

It turned out that it didn't have a well-thought-out plan, and it hadn't understood the riddle it left behind, and it was still struggling to solve it.

The flood was gone, but there was still some water at the bottom of the pipeline. Xie Zhenshu walked for a while, and the gunfire from behind suddenly stopped. It must be that Yan Junxun and others escaped from danger and were fleeing in. However, the pipes in this shelter are really complicated, the officer said: "When Yan Junxun heard the knocking sound, will the course of action change?"

Xiao Su was awakened by him, startled, and said: "Yes, the knocking sound disturbed him just now, he just came in now, he will only feel strange when he hears the knocking sound, and may not realize that there is a problem here. Let me think about it, I have it! Let me pretend to be Artemis and leave some hints for him along the way."

They can't turn around rashly. First, the time jumps chaotically and has no rhythm, and they may lose Yan Junxun's trace. Second, two people appear suddenly, not to mention Yan Junxun, even 7-001 will treat them as ambushes . At that time, several people will fight together, but it will give the 7-004 group an opportunity to lead Yan Junxun to the end.

Xiao Su left scratches on the wall of the pipe with her claws, but scratches alone were useless. It thought for a while, raised its tail, knocked on the wall a few times, and said: "If Yan Junxun remembers anything, it must be those cases he is still working on. I left all the key clues in the case in the Here, it will always arouse his suspicion."

Xie Zhenshu polished the lighter, and by the dim light of the lighter, he saw some scribbled and shapeless graffiti floating on the walls on both sides of the pipe. After walking for a while, the graffiti gradually turned into several extremely exaggerated human bodies. Then with a "boom", a small robot fell out and lay at his feet.

Although Xiao Su can't remember too many details, she is very familiar with the cases in the hunting plot, because the role played by Su Heting is to monitor the duo in the parking area, so she immediately throws all the clues on the road, such as graffiti and robots , are all things that Yan Jun found when he was looking to solve the case, and he doesn't know how it was conjured out of thin air.

After throwing it away, Xiao Su felt relieved and said, "Run, let's wait for the rabbit!"

The storage room at the end of the pipe has been in disrepair for years, and the lock on the iron door is still the old style. Xie Zhenshu opened it with a little force. The dust inside the door hit his face, Xiao Su coughed a few times, Xie Zhenshu hugged it off his shoulder, and glanced around.

There are no lights in the room, but the space is not small, with some expired food cans piled up, and some messy receivers. A few iron frame beds were placed against the wall, with plastic washbasins placed underneath.

Xiao Su listened attentively for a while, and said: "It will be a while before they come over, sir, remember not to touch them, or they will be recorded by the reflection. But I still can't figure out, how do we put the cross star into the keyhole...According to the analysis, even if we open Yan Junxun's head, we won't be able to find his chip."

Yan Junxun's intracranial chip can only be removed in reality, otherwise the main gods would not have to spend so much effort, but Su Heting will never let himself do useless work, there must be some tricks in it that Xiao Su didn't think of for a while.

Xie Zhenshu's eyes paused on those receivers, and after a while, he said: "What will happen if Yan Junxun is not dead?"

Xiao Su said, "I don't know... um? What would happen if Yan Junxun didn't die..."

If Yan Junxun is not dead, the subsequent reincarnation plot will definitely change, and may even be actively deleted by the monitoring system due to plot conflicts, resulting in data disappearance.

Xiao Su murmured to herself: "If he didn't die, the flood would still rush over here, but he would definitely understand at that time that this place is fake... Wouldn't this round of hunting become the penultimate one? The latest plot going on will also undergo major changes... plus the collapse of the 14th district..."

It suddenly understood, didn't care that the two were still in danger, lit the lamp on its tail, looked calm, and said to Xie Zhenshu: "I understand, sir! As long as we don't let him die, he will naturally die." Affected. Changes here will cause changes in the latest hunt, and to stop, save him, wake him up, tell him—run out of the glass!"

But immediately, Xiao Su said: "But we can neither take him away nor meet him."

Xie Zhenshu pointed to the pile of receivers and said, "Let's leave him a message."

Xiao Su said: "It's too common to keep 'running out of the glass', and when he gets here, he won't be able to run away."

Xie Zhenshu said: "Tell him 7-001 is dead."

Xiao Su was terrified: "7-001 is dead?"

Xie Zhenshu said: "Not yet, but the hunting continues, and he is almost there."

The officer is not cursing 7-001, but the identity of 7-001 cannot withstand scrutiny. He was originally brought in by Artemis on a temporary basis to catch clowns, but he has been violating Artemis' rules and getting rid of Jue. Looking for a position next to Yan Jun. Thanks to Xie Zhenshu who used the blackboard in the cement building and 7-001 to share the information obtained by both parties, otherwise this loophole would not have been thought of.

Xie Zhenshu picked up the receiver, and it took a while to turn it on. There was another gunshot in the pipe, it must be 7-004 chasing after him. The officer thought for a while, and entered: 7-001 Shi Shanyan, confirmed dead in 2162.

This is not a lie. In reality, the Black Panther disappeared in 2162. The 7-001 Shiyan is naturally no longer the 7-001 Shiyan, but the 01AE86 Shiyan after entering the time-limited hunting.

Xiao Su said: "Okay, 7-001 will go crazy when he sees this news, he will go crazy, 7-004 is not his opponent."

Just as Xie Zhenshu put the receiver back, the sound of footsteps in the pipe approached. He took Xiao Su to hide behind the debris pile, hiding in the deepest place. Only when Xiao Su pricked up her ears, the iron door opened, and a beam of flashlight shone into the room.

"No one," said a strange man's voice, sounding very young and panting, "there's no light either!"

Xiao Su whispered, "It's not Yan Junxun who came."

Xie Zhenshu stretched out **** to clamp the tip of Xiaosu's cat's ears, not allowing it to move around, then turned his head to listen to the footsteps.

The other person polished the lighter, lit a cigarette, and gave a perfunctory "hmm" and said, "Come in."

The voice was much older.

Xiao Su's cat ears kept moving, she got up from Xie Zhenshu's arms, stepped on Xie Zhenshu's chest, and introduced to Xie Zhenshu's ear: "I know who they are, the young one is called Pu Lin, The elder is the scalpel."

The name scalpel made Xie Zhenshu's heart skip a beat. Tuya once mentioned this name, saying that this person was dead. He changed his mind, this world is not real at all, it is possible for the other party to be a human or a ghost.

When the two entered the room, they were too lazy to move the scalpel, so they instructed Pu Lin to check around with a flashlight. Pu Lin took a photo, but didn't pay attention to the innermost part, but was attracted by the receivers piled on the ground. He squatted down, picked up the receiver, and looked over it.

The scalpel asked, "What are you doing?"

Pu Lin said, "I'll look for communication equipment."

The scalpel took two puffs of cigarettes and felt a little tired. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't think about it, the equipment here is already broken."

Pu Lin was worried and tried to turn on the receiver. He let out a "huh" and said, "There is news from above!"

Xiao Su whispered, "If you want something bad, they will see it first."

The scalpel took off the slippers, poured out the sewage inside, and snorted with his nose, feeling that Park Lin was making a fuss: "It's all from the past, it's nothing important..." He put the slippers back on, couldn't hold back, and asked, "It says of what?"

Park Lin read the news, but didn't say anything.

The scalpel said: "Why don't you speak, what is written on it?"

Pu Lin was dumbfounded, looked at the receiver several times, and suddenly stood up like a ghost, and said: "Write, write is—"

Impatient with the scalpel, he got up and snatched the receiver to see for himself. Seeing that it said "7-001 Shi Shanyan, confirmed dead in 2162", he was also taken aback, and then became furious: "That kid is really a counterfeit, He's an undercover agent!"

Xiao Su had expected bad things just now, and now when he heard the scalpel say that, he couldn't help but tore off Xie Zhenshu's shirt, and whispered, "This old man got it wrong!"

This plot was supposed to be where the scalpel and Park Lin waited for Yan Junxun and 7-001, and then they dealt with 7-004 together. But who knows that by mistake, they saw the message on the receiver first, and the scalpel mistakenly took 7-001 as an undercover agent sent by the Black Panther, thinking that 7-001 was a counterfeit hiding around everyone.

The situation changed suddenly, and the more he thought about the scalpel, the more something went wrong. He loaded the gun, pulled Park Lin up, and said, "That kid is hard to deal with. Let him in and we're all going to die. When they arrive in a while, you first use the flashlight to shake his gun." Eyes, I will shoot again and kill him directly at the door to prevent future troubles!"

In his words, he already regarded 7-001 as an enemy, and he didn't even want to give 7-001 a chance to defend himself, and he didn't know how 7-001 offended him.

Xiao Su was speechless, she stomped on Xie Zhenshu's chest with her paw pad, but she couldn't stop shouting. At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps in the pipeline, and Yan Jun was found!

Xie Zhenshu waited with bated breath, and heard the sound of the iron door, followed by the preemptive sound of the scalpel. The scalpel just said so fiercely, but when he really raised the gun, he still didn't strike immediately, but said in a stern voice, "Hold your hands up!"

Pu Lin didn't know if he was listening or not, so he flicked the flashlight a few times.

After two seconds of silence, Xie Zhenshu heard a younger male voice ask, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for an undercover agent," the scalpel replied, but sneered at 7-001 who came in behind, "Damn it, you even fooled me, you are not 01AE86 at all!"

7-001 replied something, Xie Zhenshu didn't hear it very clearly, there was a "buzzing" noise in his ear, he thought it was the sound inside the pipe, but he didn't think it was the sound, and when he was frowning in doubt, there was a "buzzing" noise on the top. A few drops of water fell on his shoulders. The officer looked up and found that there was a crack on the top and water was dripping down.

Xiao Su concentrated her mind, stretched her tail straight, and was listening to them talking, when she accidentally got two drops of water on her head. It looked up and immediately said, "It's a flood, and it's coming to an end soon."

As if to confirm its words, gunshots rang out in the room, followed by gunshots in the pipe. The scalpel shouted: "There is no way out, we all have to die here tonight!"

The iron gate rang loudly, and 7-004 was approaching with firepower. After a few bullets, the iron door exploded with sparks and burst open. The door panel hit the wall, and the gunshots became more intense. The scalpel and the others couldn't withstand the bullets, they scattered in the chaos, and each rolled to hide behind the shelter.

Xie Zhenshu heard Pu Lin shout: "What the **** world am I living in?"

7-004 stopped the onslaught, and there was only panting in the room. But the silence didn't last long, and a more powerful bullet exploded a shielding wall. Pu Lin immediately hugged his head and wanted to roll to where Xie Zhenshu and Xiao Su were.

Xiao Su heard the countdown speeding up and said, "Now, Yan Junxun is going to be shot!"

Without further ado, Xie Zhenshu pushed down the debris. The cans of food came crashing down, he kicked one out, and the boxes rummaged. Because he didn't have time to get the flashlight, Pu Lin couldn't see the situation clearly, so he stirred the food cans and fell down, standing in front of Yan Junxun's feet, which made Yan Junxun hesitate for a moment. The position of the person is completely different from that in the original plot, and 7-004's bullet that kills immediately misses.

-Ding.

The countdown stops and the ending changes!

7-004 fired another shot, but this shot was too slow. Even if he hit Yan Junxun, the ending would not be the same as before.

Xiao Su said: "It's done!"

Before the words were finished, the top of the pipe collapsed, and the flood flooded in, rushing towards everyone.

The cross star on Xiaosu's chest was brightly lit, and it said to Xie Zhenshu: "Sir, go to the latest one—"

The flood has rushed to the front, and the "buzzing" sound in Xie Zhenshu's ears intensified. When the flood rushed past him, he only felt a gust of wind, and then the scenery around him was like a Rubik's cube twisted by someone, turning into a mess of color blocks, turning irregularly.

Xie Zhenshu hugged Xiao Su tightly, the sky and the earth turned upside down again, this time there was a clear sense of weightlessness. But soon, Xiao Su turned into a spot of light with a bang. The officer was shocked and said: "Su Heting!"

The color blocks are blurred, and the green data rushes forward with Xie Zhenshu. Xie Zhenshu heard the call of the ghost car bird, but he couldn't see the scene behind the data. A few seconds later, the sense of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, and Xie Zhenshu opened his eyes—

He is standing in front of the glass building.

Xie Zhenshu looked up, the lead cloud above was low pressure, and it was raining. The rain soaked his shoulders in an instant, and he came back to realize that this was still the berth area. The officer suddenly turned around and saw that the pedestrians on the street were all wearing umbrellas, copying and pasting their attire.

Sir, go to the latest.

Xiao Su's hint is only half, but Xie Zhenshu has already understood. According to the hunting regulations, everyone can only have one self in the plot. Xiao Su will disappear because they fell back to the latest round of hunting. Here is Su Heting's main body sitting in charge.

Xie Zhenshu stepped into the crowd, with the same faces under the umbrella. He walked through it and heard the beating of clocks on the top of the glass building.

"What's the date now?" Xie Zhenshu kept asking, "Excuse me, what's the date now?"

It was raining like a torrential rain, and no one answered him. He was like a ghost that didn't exist in this city. The **** clock kept beating, almost at the same rhythm as the countdown in the reflection.

The ending in the reflection has changed, and the plot here will also change. Except for Xie Zhenshu, the rest of the people and things were speeding up, the clock was beating faster and faster, Xie Zhenshu even saw the ever-expanding dark cracks on the streets passing by.

"I found you!" A giant metal hand suddenly bumped into the crack, protruded from behind, and shouted in a dull electronic voice, "Monitor!"

The ground rose accordingly, and a half-faced giant Buddha broke through the ground, clapped his palms together to thank the pillow, and a gust of wind and rain blew. The sound of the clock "clack clack" is still ringing, and the giant Buddha shot empty. It turned its dark eyes, searched for Xie Zhenshu in the rain, and shouted over and over again: "I found you, monitor! It was you and Su Heting who woke up Yan Junxun—"

It waved its arms angrily, sweeping away the pedestrians on the street and smashing the surrounding buildings to pieces. Its voice gradually became clearer and more familiar. It was Hephaestus. It noticed something was wrong in District 14 after solving the ghost car bird, but everything had changed.

The giant Buddha finally got stuck in the mooring area. Its upper body was scratched with mottled marks. With its hands on the ground, it cried and howled at Xie Pillow: "Our chips, ah, I will never forgive you!"

In the gust of wind and rain, a giant Buddha also climbed into another crack. In less than a moment, the berthing area of ​​Honkai was surrounded by giant Buddhas. Their legs are weak, so they can only crawl with their hands. They use their huge and heavy bodies to run over urban buildings, crushing pedestrians into powder.

"Our chip—"

The giant Buddhas turned over the ruins and groped around.

"Yan Junxun, chip, don't go, come back!"

The howling of pain became louder and louder as the mooring area collapsed, and the darkness crossed the boundary line, flooding the mooring area with a "huh". The cross star of Xie Pillow Book slowly lit up. Surrounded by giant shadows, he saw silver dots light up from under his feet, and then everything around him, like paper crumpled by blisters, peeled off before his eyes, revealing the ant-like flesh inside. blue data. These blue data are flowing rapidly, they spread to the entire 14th district, gnawing at this world.

Su Heting succeeded in everything he wanted to do. It turns out that the cross star does not need to be placed in any keyhole, it only needs to keep Xie Zhenshu in existence. The river of consciousness rushes to the sky, and they will flow into another memory, sorted out by Su Heting's preset program, and retrieve another life.

But where is Su Heting?

Just as Xie Zhenshu was looking for it, the giant Buddha suddenly sat on the ground. They picked up the blue data and the silver light of consciousness, stuffed them into their mouths, and began to chew. Hephaestus' voice rose and fell, and it said: "Do you think you can leave after the hunt is over? Without Yan Junxun's chip, I will use you to fill it!"

Xie Zhenshu's consciousness seemed to be pricked by a needle, his eyelids twitched, and he felt that he was about to wake up in reality. My body felt numb because I hadn't moved for a long time.

Hephaestus said: "I now sentence you all to life imprisonment. Su Heting, pay for your arrogance. These people are all imprisoned because of you. From now on, the night will last forever. I want you to watch The saved people will die in turn, one by one, endlessly!"

Its anger permeates the entire area, and the giant Buddha seems to be like a series of steel poles, forming a circle of fences. The mooring area split into four pieces, and new buildings were quickly uprooted from the ruins. The sun disappeared completely, and the wind raged mercilessly. In the distance, only a small light was still on.

In the dim light was Su Heting with a pale complexion. He stood in the disappearing blue river, holding a lamp, and the back of his scratched hand was so thin that blue veins could be seen. As the wind blew past, the look on his face was indescribable. But when he saw Xie Zhenshu, he just smiled, pretending to be relaxed.

"Oops, something went wrong."
