Law Enforcer's Handbook

"After the game, Dave quit the church and returned to his hometown of District [-], where he had family and friends. I heard that he married a wife and had children in that beautiful coastal city, and opened a ship repair yard. "

While listening to the story quietly, Lu Xiang tasted the tomato-flavored potato chips he bought from a convenience store on the way here.

The smell of essence was indeed not as good as the snacks Song Lan made at home.

Dave was a contestant in the 35th Cricket Fighting Contest. At that time, it was the end of the war, and the church had already gained an absolute advantage. The entire council fell into the control of the church, and the remnants of the Mechanicus were scattered and hidden.

The 35th competition was launched to resolve the differences of "whether to ban the Mechanicus and completely ban prosthetic bodies".

At the same time, this was also the last championship that Song Lan won. According to him, a rising star appeared in the 36th Cricket Fighting Competition.

It's just that the identity and name of that rising star really can't be remembered, and his memory of the Cricket Fighting Competition also stops at the 35th session.

And Dave has become a champion from an unknown and ordinary fisherman. After winning the game, he should have been among the top leaders of the church and participated in the church's future decision-making. "Seeing through the world of mortals", he decided to stay away from all disputes and return to his hometown to live a leisurely and peaceful life with his relatives and friends.

Even the first runner-up, Black Flash, was no exception.

According to Song Lan, this mutated insect led its followers to the "outside" after the competition, and established its own settlement in a remote place.

However, this ending is at least much better than Lu Xiang's initial guess.

Although the champions have lost their fighting spirit, they are still living a comfortable life somewhere at this moment.

And after the traces of war are wiped away with the Dark Ages, no one will remember their title of champion.

Maybe the owner of the ship repair shop who seems harmless to humans and animals in your small town, who is kind and kind every day, was once a person who stood at the top of the psychic powers when he was young.

Judging from the results, due to Song Lan's interference, the church's plan to completely eradicate the Mechanicus went bankrupt.

As for the secret of the collapse of the church, it was hidden in the process of the 36th Cricket Fighting Competition.

"The reason why Mechanicus can survive is because of the church's internal strife."

A familiar voice sounded from the eye navigation robot floating beside the two of them.

Although RT6 had a premonition long ago, when the guess in her heart was confirmed, she still felt uncomfortable instinctively.

In Song Lan's story, "mother" was once the loser.

They miscalculated the power of the church and psionics, and hid around like rats crossing the street, which made it difficult for her to accept the fact.

"After all, Mechanicus was only born during the third war, and it is understandable to be tricked by old and cunning enemies."

Song Lan tried to comfort the other party.

"How can you say that about yourself?"

Lu Xiang raised an objection.

But when she thought about it again, Song Lan was indeed scheming in daily life, and even the professional fraud gangs in the [-]th District often stumbled in his hands.

Song Lan waved his hand, "I'm different from them."

"What's the difference?"

"I joined later, and they were so annoying that I reluctantly agreed to their invitation."

He is different from those fanatical believers. The so-called upper world has no attraction for him at all, and the rich material life in big cities has already satisfied him very much.

This sentence also reached the ears of the "Emperor" through the eyeball navigation robot.

For some reason, an unknown fire suddenly surged into his heart. Although he had no memory of the background of the cricket fighting competition that Song Lan mentioned, what he just said made him involuntarily want to punch the other party on the back of the head .

The "Emperor" seriously doubted that Song Lan had never played a leading role in the church.

During the conversation, the battle in the neighborhood has reached a fever pitch.

Vadim lived up to the name of the underground emperor of the fourth district. He stood on the high platform of the block like a god of war, and in front of him was a crowd of staggering people.

The bottom of the stairs has long been filled with broken weapons and prosthetic body parts.

Facts once again proved that in the Cricket Fighting Competition, the sea of ​​people tactics will not work at all.

Vadim exhaled. Apart from him, there is no one who can stand in the surrounding tens of meters. Many of these wailing criminals are familiar faces. With the arrival of this cricket competition , these little characters somehow also become a lot trickier.

He looked up, watching the two figures in the bleachers.

Not long ago, "Void" reminded him that other contestants had also arrived one after another, and the real opponent would come soon.

In addition, Vadim also saw another familiar figure.

"blue eyes".

At this moment, the "blue eyes" changed back to the original company man's appearance. He walked up the stairs and finally stood in front of the two and the eye navigation robot.

"Although I appreciate the many valuable information you have given us, there are some things I have to correct you."

"Blue Eyes" intervened in the conversation, "Hiding is also part of our strategy. Mother and we never expected to win the war with a few prosthetic body reformers or war machines. Unfortunately, due to internal disputes in the church, Before we could fight back, the church was crumbling from within."

Just now, military technology temporarily changed the plan.

There was a boom from the ground under their feet, and the vibration almost tore the entire block apart in the blink of an eye.

The building that lost its fulcrum did not just collapse, but turned into the shape of a palm, holding them in the palm.

The shock did not stop there, but intensified.

When the ground was completely divided, the huge object hidden under it finally revealed its true colors.

A gigantic mechanical creation.

Song Lan, who was at a high altitude at the moment, could only see half of the mechanical creature's body.

RT6 was also shocked by the scene in front of her. After a long time, she noticed that the eyes of the "blue eyes" had been staying on her.

"Remember, we are not the loser."

Under the roar of the gears turning, the mechanical creation opened its "eyes".

The flickering red light immediately enveloped the entire Fourth District. From the moment the mechanical creation was activated, the entire city seemed to come alive.

"History always has regrets. At that time, we had no time to decide the winner."

This is the real trump card of the company.

As for the nutritional injections, the worms rooted in these human bodies, and even the old mechanical gods, they are just tools for them to understand the world and conduct experiments.

"You remodeled the entire city!?"

This is an unimaginably huge project for RT6, and its complexity has far exceeded her imagination.

Military technology has actually achieved that in the true sense, opposing the company is equivalent to opposing the entire coalition government.

"RT6, this is our first meeting."

"Blue Eyes" carefully looked at the floating eye navigation robot.

Military tech never likes to be unprepared, but this time it's an exception.

This involves the century-long feud, and RT6's reaction just now proves the necessity for them to do so—the same kind born after that war has long forgotten their former mortal enemy.

This stems from the mother's change.

However, not all creations agree with the mother's ideas.

"We will prove to her that our decision was the right one."

……

Vadim heard the conversation between the two parties intermittently, not only because the prosthetic body modification made his hearing more acute, but also because his body was thrown into the sky the moment the ground left.

When he saw the true face of the mechanical creation, its heavy punch had already hit him.

For a time, the buildings in the entire block became the arms of mechanical creations.

There was no place to stand on the ground, and Vadim saw the comatose criminals fall into the crack one by one, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

He got good news and bad news at the same time.

Both express the same thing - his ability can work on this mechanical monster.

Because from the moment they looked at each other, he seemed to be the number one target of annihilation for mechanical creations.

Every time it punched, one or several buildings smashed towards him.

The space of the entire block became chaotic and disorderly, so Vadim had to open a path among the platforms suspended in mid-air.

The sudden change forced Vadim to activate the "overload" system, but the time limit of 2 seconds was too short after all, not to mention that the platforms he regarded as landing points were also part of the mechanical creation, although It is huge in size, but it can precisely control every part of itself.

For example, turning the ground upside down the moment he touches the landing point, this is enough to cause him to fall down in a state of de-strength.

When Vadim realized these details, he couldn't move because of the side effects of "overload".

There is only one question in his mind now.

"Isn't this TND cheating?"

He questioned "Nothingness" in his heart.

Such a huge mechanical creation is obviously not in line with the theme of "Fighting Crickets". He believes that "Nothingness", as a contestant and organizer, should immediately ban this cheater who violated the regulations.

However, the feedback of "Nothingness" is as annoying as the formulaic reply of the game company's customer service.

"The Fighting Cricket Competition does not prohibit robots from participating in the competition. According to the procedure, if players find something unreasonable during the competition, they can submit their opinions to the judging committee. These suggestions may be adopted in the next Fighting Cricket Competition. "

Where is the next Cricket Fighting Contest!

Vadim's body was still falling, and at this moment, his ability had completely reversed the effect—the mechanical creation didn't seem to intend to let him go. He smashed it down towards himself.

Shadows covered the sky, and darkness gradually enveloped him.

It's over!
Vadim seemed to hear someone shouting in his ear.

As we all know, the contestants who died in the previous Cricket Fighting Competition did not have a resurrection match.

And "nothingness"...

This cheat did not mention at all that he would encounter giant robots as opponents!
Before the darkness fell, countless ideas popped up in his mind, but none of them could help him get out of the predicament, and "Nothingness" was still looking like a good show, and never planned to help.

The giant shadow that fell on him was getting closer and closer.

Although the process has turned around, his ending has not changed.

But thinking about it carefully, Vadim also realized that "Nothingness" seemed to have never promised him that he would survive this game safely.

The other party just promised that this would bring him closer to the truth, and that he would not die in an unclear way like those of his followers.

Now, Vadim seems to understand.

Everything that is happening to them at this moment stems from a feud that has been glossed over with history.

Before the wheel of history, any individual will be crushed like an ant.

And those who can control the direction of history, at this moment, look down on them from an unknown place like "nothingness".

The oncoming wind pressure was so strong that Vadim couldn't breathe, and spiritual power had its limit after all. In such a state, it was not enough to withstand the weight of a building.

But if you think about the good, such an ending is better than losing in the hands of a group of small characters who can't even pronounce their names.

"Hey."

Vadim opened his eyes and looked ahead calmly, "Which rank is this now? Can you squeeze into the top three?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Because the game is not over yet."

Vadim wanted to say something, because this might be the last trace he left in this world, but the next moment, he understood the meaning of the words "nothingness".

Before his body was about to be crushed into powder by the building, a figure that suddenly appeared blocked between him and the building.

The figure with his back to him was wearing boxing gloves, resembling a fighter in an underground boxing match.

But this kind of attire did not surprise him. Most of the people on the street today are dressed in strange clothes. In comparison, underground boxers can be regarded as relatively normal attire.

What was abnormal was the right fist that the figure swung.

Facing the behemoth that was about to crush them, the visitor just swung his right fist, so that for a moment, Vadim suspected that the opponent must have a brain problem.

The next moment, Vadim saw something unusual.

At first it was just a fleeting black arc, which made him think he was delusional.

Unprecedented energy burst out in front of him.

It is similar to psionic power, but there is a subtle difference.

In an instant, the world in Vadim's eyes was blackened by the continuously spreading energy, and any objects touched by the energy were instantly wiped out.

Vadim involuntarily looked at the mechanical creation.

As "Nothingness" said, the game is not over yet, and there are still many unimaginable opponents in this game.

And now...

Vadim suddenly froze.

He clearly felt the gaze of the mechanical creation, which immediately filled his heart with anger.

Uncle's!
Why are you staring at me all the time!
Little Theater ITS 240 IV:
On a certain day of a certain year, Monday, noon

Although Lu Xiang looks cold on the outside, he is actually a very good-tempered person.

This is the unified evaluation of her by the senior management of the swarm.

But the premise is that you can't make fun of her food. It is said that Lu Xiang directly pointed a gun when the Horned Worm stole the egg fried rice in the refrigerator at night-this is the treatment that no other member of the worm swarm has ever had.

"She really loves you very much, and this didn't knock you off."

Bai Zhu felt chills all over when he heard Song Lan's actions.

"I just wanted to make a little joke with her. Didn't the little videos of lovers' tricks often become popular on the Internet?"

Song Lan learned several skills from the video.

Including replacing the Oreo filling with wasabi and freezing the bitter gourd juice to disguise it as a popsicle.

But after a critical education on April Fool's Day, he reversed all plans.

When Lu Xiang was angry, although he didn't know how to beat and swear, there were many ways to criticize education, and every one of them left people with lingering fears.

Song Lan seriously suspected that she also secretly watched the prank videos in the department.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked on a whim, "By the way, Bai Zhu, have you checked Lao Lu's browsing history?"

"Uh, this is..."

"researched?"

"It's better that you don't know."

"explain more clearly."

"For the sake of my friends, I will tell you quietly, Old Lu, she still holds a grudge...I can only say that you broke the oven without telling her, and she has already recorded it in her small notebook. "
