The real convener of this gathering finally showed up.
"Tianyi."
"Nan Tianyi!?"
"It turns out that it was Tianyi who came to find us all."
"Of course it's me. The only person who can use that code, besides Ouyang, is me." Behind the black-haired boy, the man said in a gentle and unhurried tone.
Sitting horizontally on a motorcycle, black-haired people can be evaluated in many different ways depending on their personal preferences and aesthetic standards: 'kind', 'comely', 'cute', 'lovable', 'handsome', 'ordinary' Compared to the young man, there is only one evaluation that anyone can make about the man standing behind him
This is an extremely beautiful young man.
Nan Tianyi
This handsome boy, who is in the same year as the black-haired boy but in a different class, has delicate facial features that not only make the girls in the school fall in love with him at first sight, but also attract a lot of men, making him extremely popular in the school he attends. He has almost the same influence as the student council president.
At this moment, his long bright silver hair, tied up with a white hairband, was shining like a polar snow fox fur under the lamp.
??The reason why the relatively tacky black and white Tai Chi graphic was chosen as the highest code representing the most urgent call is precisely because it contains the color of the two people¡¯s hair.
"Tianyi, I haven't seen you all day long. Where have you been?" Without looking back, the black-haired boy who was accustomed to the appearance of his companions asked.
"I received the news this morning. Just last night, we lost Bode and Taras." In his usual calm tone, Nan Tianyi stated this fact.
After hearing these words, everyone present straightened their postures at the same time. Even Xiang Rixing, who had always been chic and casual, and Ding Lingyin, who had been laughing non-stop since the black-haired boy appeared, had a solemn expression on their faces and closed their eyes slightly. With his eyes and his left hand touching his heart, he bowed his head and gave his last blessings to his departed companion.
They hold their own reasons, share a common goal, and form a temporary alliance. Although there are organizers and conveners in the alliance, there is no distinction between superior and inferior status, and not all of them are like-minded friends.
But for Bode Fossa and Taras, everyone present today has a good impression.
In my memory, Bode Fossa is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a slightly overweight body. He works as a photojournalist for entertainment magazines during the day and as their intelligence collector at night. He is a cheerful man who always has a smile on his face. When he first saw Ding Lingyin, he said he wanted to use her as a magazine cover.
And Taras is his partner during the day and guardian at night. Although he doesn't laugh as much as his partner, he can give people a sense of peace of mind and is a reliable man. Although I haven't actually seen his skills, I heard that Taras has good performance in close combat and marksmanship.
"Why were Bode and the others killed, andwhether they had any special abilities." After a moment of silence, Xiang Rixing asked.
Although they are partners with a common goal, the partners do not know each other's abilities very well. As for this kind of thing, except for observing it during battle, no one would ask about it rashly. In Xiang Rixing's impression, the two companions they lost had never participated in a night-time armed battle. But now, knowing the true power of his companions helps to deduce the strength of the killer.
"Bode is not only an excellent intelligence analyst, but also a sub-ability user." Nan Tianyi said.
"Without any photographic equipment, he could easily reproduce the images observed by the naked eye within 18 hours on film with a resolution one hundred and fifty times greater. In the 'One Year War,' he played more than A strong team of 100 people is an important talent that we cannot lack."
"Although Taras is not a capable person, as someone who has served as the Sheriff of Lotta for five years, he has quite a lot of experience in urban fighting and has excellent reflexes and adaptability. Because there are people like Taras as Bode My work partner, I just didn¡¯t send additional personnel to protect Bode.¡±
"And Bode has always been cautious in doing things. He is responsible for intelligence collection. He is aware of his abilities. He usually keeps a low profile and will never take risks easily. Even when signing the treaty, he did not use his real name. He is a person who is in '1 The man who could have escaped unscathed during the years of war unexpectedly died yesterday."
"Then, with Bode's ability, there should be images of the perpetrators, right?" Xiang Rixing then asked.
"I found the film that Bode had hidden in his sleeve. There was no image information of the murderer in it." Nan Tian shook his head and said.
"Were you attacked from behind?" Jiang Jijiu asked loudly.
"No." Nan Tian shook his head.
"Is that a martial arts master who is so fast that Bode has no time to burn an image on his retina?" Xiang Rixing asked, half-squinting his eyes.
"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. However, the wounds that caused fatal injuries to the two people are inconsistent with all conventional speed weapons. They are more like blunt force injuries"
Facing the questions raised by everyone, the silver-haired boy answered them one by one calmly. One day was enough for Nan Tianyi to do a lot of things. And no one can doubt Nan Tianyi's work efficiency.
"So, what did Bode leave behind?" The black-haired boy sitting on the motorcycle said quietly, interrupting everyone's discussion at the right time. Unlike his agitated companions, he completely regained his composure in less than a second after paying his last respects to his dead companions. However, although there was still a smile on his face, his black eyes were as deep as the night on the outskirts of a dark city.
"The last images of a dozen demi-human girls sent back by Bode."
"Is this human trafficking again?" Ling Yin said bitterly, her cheeks turning bright red with anger.
"If it was Bode, in addition to the pictures, the time and place of the transaction were also left, right?"
"Although there is no direct text, the location and time of the transaction are clear. The time is two hours later, and there are two locations, namely the intersection of Highway 3, 5 and Highway 7." He raised his hand. Two brown document bags, Nan Tianyi said.
"The war has ended after the new rules for the sale of rare beasts were signed. Imara's Law of Dark Night maintains the new rules. Who and for what purpose is it provoking a dispute again at this time?" No. Looking at the document bag in Nan Tianyi's hand, he stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly on the motorcycle. The young man thought deeply, "Could it be" He raised his head suddenly, and the young man already had a conclusion in his mind.
"It's the hand that has been pulling the strings behind the scenes."
During the One Year War, the biggest trouble they encountered was not the merchants who directly traded rare animals and the mercenaries who protected their interests. Not long after the conflict began, they discovered that there was a more powerful force hidden behind these people.
On the surface, the hidden force is not a vested interest in the precious animal trade. After investigating the flow of money in the transaction, they found no abnormal movement of money. However, it is undoubtedly this force that really resumed the trading of rare animals in Imara.
¡°This force is not only powerful, but also possesses many first-rate talents from the underground dark forces such as espers, killers, and dark swordsmen. Its members also possess a fervent and fearless attitude that is difficult for ordinary people to possess.
They spent a lot of effort to eradicate this force from Imara. Soon after this force was eradicated, the 'One Year War' ended.
The so-called "One Year War" is, on the surface, a conflict between them and major rare animal trading groups. In fact, it is a showdown between them and this hidden force.
Although they achieved the final victory. Buteveryone here tonight knows this fact
¡²That is not a simple organization based on city! ¡³
They have this understanding and are prepared for it.
"I believe everyone is aware of this." The black-haired boy jumped out of his seat and said in a voice that was not loud but was enough to convey his thoughts to the hearts of everyone present. "We are here today not just to mourn the dead, but to remember them." life, leaving tears of regret.¡±
"From the beginning of the One Year War to the present, although twenty-seven people were finally able to sign the statute, we have lost far more comrades than this number. Counting Bode and Taras, I am familiar with and There are one hundred and thirty-one people who can remember their names. The dead have passed away, but we who are still alive can do this"
"It is to make their passing meaningful."
"The last images left by Bode and Taras with their lives." Taking a document bag handed over by Nan Tianyi, the young man patted and said
¡°We¡¯re going to put the brightest colors on it tonight.¡±
"When Bode left this information, he also left a warning message that might be a trap." Nan Tianyi said.
"Is it a trap?" the young man smiled
What shall we do? ¡³
At this moment, all eyes were focused on the black-haired boy.
"Do you still need to ask?" The young man said with a smile, "It's not anyone else who is here today. Those who are here today are Nan Tianyi, Ding Lingyin, Jiang Jijiu, Wei Mei, Xiang Rixing Have you ever been afraid of traps?"
Hearing his words, several people showed reserved but proud and confident smiles at the same time.
"If what you are waiting for is a trap, step on it!"
"If the other party has laid a trap, then use it to strangle the opponent's throat! ! "
"Those who think they are hunters, let them taste the taste of being hunted!!!"
"We attack!"
"Yang, although you attach great importance to planning, in essence, you have the tendency of being a force theorist. Please be sure to pay attention to this to avoid making unnecessary mistakes." After the black-haired boy issued a declaration of war, he turned around and walked away. In an instant, Nan Tianyi said this from behind.
"I will always keep your kind words in mind." Turning around and bowing slightly to show his approval, the young man said with a smile, "Then, as usual, we divided into two groups. Amei and I went together. . You, Tianyi, will be responsible for the rest."
"Tonight is the first time I have smuggled a girl out. Their family's tutoring is very strict. If they are discovered, I will be in big trouble. It's not just a matter of saying sorry. So"
"I don't want to waste time."
??¡ª¡ª
The No. 3 Huanhai Highway in the western suburbs of Imara is a route mainly used for freight vehicles. Like Highway 5, there are not many gentle beaches on the coast near Highway 3. Not only are there gravel trees on the coast, but there are also stinging sea scorpions lurking in the rock crevices. Even in the first month when the weather is the best, few people are interested in hanging around here.
However, as the largest warehouse area in Imara, it contains huge wealth that ordinary people cannot even imagine.
Weapons, munitions, gold bricks, silver ingots, psychedelics, antiques, famous paintings, various luxury goods
¡°As long as you have a quarter of the resources here, you can launch a successful coup in any country in the world.¡± A head of state who was invited to visit here once commented.
Turn from Highway 7 to Highway 3 and proceed nine kilometers. A giant Z-shaped warehouse about fifty meters away from the road is one of the targets this time.
No one can mistake the location.
Opposite the warehouse are marked by two identical silver, blue and milky white buildings standing side by side.
? ??¡®The Abandoned Twin Stars¡¯
The sixty-six-story modern business building has a vertical height of 161 meters and a spacing of 51.9 meters. Standing on the top of the building, you can have a panoramic view of all the warehouse areas on Highway 3 in the western suburbs.
From the perspective of urban development, the builders at that time chose this location to build these two 66-story business buildings. The building was designed and built to the highest standards of the time. In order to prevent energy crystal failure and unexpected power outages, the outer walls of the entire building are covered with solar energy storage self-luminous materials to provide the building with sufficient and stable independent energy.
Twelve outdoor sightseeing elevators and 24 indoor elevators on the east and west floors are activated day and night. In addition to luxurious offices and business halls, each floor also has more than 30% natural ecological park. There are beautiful trees, flowing water, beautiful bamboos and strange rocks, so that people can enjoy the fun of outdoor outings in the mountains and fields while working.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that the development of Imara City later moved in the opposite direction, making the completed building but lacking a basic level of safety and commercial atmosphere a place that no one cares about.
In the end, because the investment cost could not be recovered, the developer who failed in speculation jumped from the protective platform on the top floor of the fully renovated building. The two buildings were also repossessed by the bank, but they never found anyone willing to take over.
For twenty years, these two buildings have been shining lonely and cold fluorescent light in the night in the western suburbs of Imara.
"That's right this warehouse!" On the rooftop of Gemini's official name Custer, commonly known as the East Building, the black-haired boy fiddled with his own viewing telescope on the top floor and checked the photos in his hands.
"There seems to be only one warehouse around here." The girl with dark green eyes turned the camera to the male companion beside her and said lightly.
"Can you explain to me now what exactly we are doing here?" she asked, looking at the boy's face that was magnified many times in the camera.
"Before the battle begins, a detailed understanding of the surrounding environment is an important part of the operation." After a slight cough, the young man said as seriously as possible. Then, as if to prove it, he placed the monitoring equipment he asked for before setting off on the protective platform half a person's height in front of him.
"Are you going to use it to listen to the wind?" The girl with emerald eyes raised her eyebrows and teased.
The directional monitoring equipment in the hands of the teenager is only suitable for recording conversations in open places and is almost ineffective in closed environments. They are far away from the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse is closed. Even if it is quiet at night, it is impossible to hear the sounds inside the warehouse.
"This" He patted the monitoring equipment in front of him, smiled coquettishly, and was about to say somethingSuddenly, melodious music came from the speakers of the listening device.
"Thisthis is" The young man who originally said he wanted to monitor the movement was a little unexpected, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"This" the girl said calmly, "it's the 'Red Moonlight' of Cero Raust."
"Those who hear this piece of music for the first time will mostly regard it as a sonata that sings of love and a perfect life." Seeing the boy's confused face, the girl explained
"In fact, it was actually a piece of music composed by Cero Raust after witnessing the quiet battlefield just after the war under the crystal moon."
"Red does not refer to the color of the moonlight, but to the blood color of the tragic battlefield under the crystal moon."
"The melody of this movement is beautiful but sad, and the artistic conception is distant but lonely and empty. It makes people want to grasp something involuntarily. Is this the feeling of love? I don't think so."
"Some people say that the pleasure brought by killing and fear is very similar to love." Patting the stone platform in front of him, the black-haired boy suddenly smiled and said, "That's why everyone gets it wrong."
"Have you ever experienced this kind of pleasure?" The girl asked, staring at the boy in front of her.
"As for killing and fearnothing." After thinking about it, the young man replied seriously. "But, there's another kind of thingI often have body odor lately." The young man smiled.
"Glib and insincere." The girl lowered her head and smiled.
"You feel sad when your friend passes away." After a moment of silence, the girl raised her head and said. Ever since he heard the news of the tragic death of his companion, the usually high-spirited young man had not been depressed, but he was somewhat different from usual.
"If I say that I'm not actually that sad, would you think I'm cold-blooded?" Slowly fading the smile on his face, the young man sighed, "During the 'One Year War', I lost many of my companions. I was Most of the considerations are the loss of personnel and the gains and losses of the war. There are not too many emotional factors involved. They are like-minded partners. For those who have already maintained their consciousness, in the uncertain life and death battle, life and death are just a throw away. It's just two sides of the coin. But today after the war, I feel that what I lost is two friends."
"I think I can understand." The girl said slowly, considering the words, "People in different statuses need to make different decisions. We are all people who carry many things that we don't want to carry."
"However, there is no way and no reason to escape." The young man said.
"That's right. Those who run away are the least promising." The girl blurted out almost without thinking.
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled. From the day they first met, the two knew that they were two souls with similar wavelengths.
"I wonder if something will happen over there at Tianyi?" I don't know how long it took, but the girl first woke up from the brief warmth and lifted her long hair out of habit, she said.
"How can something happen to him?" The young man smiled, "In terms of tactical planning, Tianyi is better than me. Besides, the people I introduce to you tonight are all masters among masters. Therefore, there will definitely be no problem on his side. ."
"I've actually always been curious, how did you two become friends?" The girl smiled, "Nan Tianyi is not a person who easily identifies with others."
¡°It was in a battle arcade, the kind of arcade we went to last week that was covered by machines and couldn¡¯t see each other.¡± Looking up at the sky, the boy recalled. "I defeated him in a newly developed super-large tactical game battle. Then, he came to meet me from across the game console. After that, we went to Jiu Shu's shop to have a few drinks, and then After that, we gradually became familiar with each other." The young man said in a deliberately understated tone.
"Didn't you say that Nan Tianyi's tactical planning is better than yours? You can actually beat him. Tianyi is a person who goes all out in everything he does. Even though it's a game, I think it's amazing that you can beat him. Oh. I wonder what kind of situation you were in and what tactics you used to defeat him?"
"When I lost ten games in a row and refused to admit defeat, and he was in a hurry to go to the bathroom." With a straight face, the boy said in a serious and proud tone.
"No rogue!"
"Then, Ah Yuan, please stay here for a while. I'll go down and take a look at the situation and then come back." Seeing the girl bending over with laughter due to his success, the boy also had a happy smile on his face. Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere at the moment, he said this.
"You went to all the trouble to come to this high-rise building in the name of preliminary investigation. Could it be that you just want to leave me alone in a safe place?" The girl looked at the boy deeply and said,road.
"That's not the case. Becausebecause you seem to admire the artist inside." The young man who had been exposed to the center of the story and had no idea what to do with his face said in a dry tone. "I'd be jealous."
"Besides, you are not staying alone. Amei will stay with you."
Wei Mei behind the two of them had not said a word since just now, as if he didn't exist. This is, after hearing the young man's words, he just nodded silently to express his clarity.
"The person who played, his playing skills are quite proficient. You know, I have always been interested in music." The girl with emerald eyes smiled as her eyes moved.
"Anyone who can improvise in an unmanned warehouse is either a master of showing off with inflated self-awareness, or an idiot, or an idiot master who loves showing off. Madoka, you would not be interested in meeting this kind of person. "
"That's not necessarily true. I have to meet various types of people before I can make comparisons. If the person I choose now is an indecisive and bad boy, I will be at a disadvantage." The girl blinked. road.
"Hehe, then I can't give in even more." The young man laughed.
"Then you have to be careful."
"Huh!?¡¡"
"Why, do you think it's strange to see me giving up so simply?"
"this¡¡"
"I have been told since I was a child that to be a good woman, you must know how to let go when it's time to let go. I'm not a stalker. I'm really causing trouble for you by forcing you to take me out tonight. Yang, please be careful and take care. Don¡¯t keep the girl waiting.¡±
"Although I don't know if I am worthy of your good man in your mind, I swear on my own life that in my heart, you are definitely the only good girl in this world." He said with tenderness in his eyes. The smiling girl and the young man jumped onto the protective platform in front of them with a smile.
"As long as it is your wish, I can dedicate the whole world to you."
The strong wind on the top floor ruffled his black hair. Looking at the girl's dark green eyes, the boy slowly backed away until he reached the outermost edge of the platform. He bowed gracefully to the girl with emerald eyes. The next second Bell, at his feet
It is already a black void with a vertical height of 161 meters.
