End of Mystery

"Lost Island..."

Xiao Xiao silently thought about the place mentioned by Yang Jia, and felt a little mysterious and unknown in his heart.

Earlier, in the eyes of strangers, the mysterious source was the city itself. Later, it was discovered that they were just spiritual creatures parasitic on the city. However, to the strangers, the mysterious source was still powerful and irresistible. After killing Mr. Du, Xiao Xiao discovered that the mysterious source was not invincible. After the incident in Xi'an City, he realized that there was no need to beautify those mysterious sources. They were really just spiritual creatures, perhaps powerful. , but you will also make mistakes, you will also be afraid, you will also run away...

But even so, Xiao Xiao still had a hard time imagining what level of existence could an island that made these creatures feel fear and that had been forgotten by the world count as?

What is the relationship between this island and the hell where Patient Zero is imprisoned?

I don't understand...

He thought a little feebly, and even couldn't find the motivation to study this island and find out what secrets it held.

Now trapped in confusion, Xiao Xiao has even lost curiosity about the world.

Therefore, facing Yang Jia, who was worried and solemn, he was silent for a long time, and then suddenly sighed and said: "Let them go, I'm not very interested in finding out what they want to do."

"I can't even figure out what I'm going to do now..."

"..."

Yang Jia was obviously a little surprised by his reaction. She was silent for a moment and then said, "Why?"

"Because I understand what happened to this world."

Xiao Xiao sighed deeply and said: "That's why I'm a little annoyed. I also know that the Noah plan is going very smoothly. Even judging from a rational point of view, I know what to do is the most correct thing, and I also have the tools to protect myself." s Choice."

"but……"

"..."

He paused and said, "I don't like it."

Yang Jia's expression changed slightly. She came here to ask Xiao Xiao some questions, but because the secret she discovered before was too repressive, she was eager to tell Xiao Xiao.

After he finished speaking, he realized that Xiao Xiao's condition seemed to be worse than imagined.

He couldn't help but look worried, and said: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Intend……"

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Eat dumplings, the dumplings made by my mother are delicious."

"...She has always thought so!"

"..."

When Xiao's mother saw Yang Jia coming, she deliberately left enough time for the two young people. She tried her best to finish all the things outside before coming in. But as soon as she came in, she found that one of them was leaning on the sofa and the other was sitting on the sofa. The chair opposite was so serious that it was disappointing, but we had to wait for the meal first. Naturally, Yang Jia and Xiao Xiao couldn't sit down any longer, so they all came over to help, especially Yang Jia, who didn't bring any gifts. I feel a little embarrassed, so I can only help with things like work.

The three of them made dumplings, cooked a few side dishes, sat together, and had a happy lunch.

Yang Jia was a little worried because she discovered that Xiao Xiao was not in good condition, but it was not easy to ask about this in front of Xiao's mother.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, was eating slowly while thinking about the problems that were troubling him. For a long time, when he was about to finish the meal, he suddenly said to Yang Jia: "How about we go on a trip? "

Yang Jia was surprised: "Travel?"

"right."

Xiao Xiao nodded and said: "Heimen City is not very busy now, is it?"

Because he has the ability to think explosively, he always thinks about things longer than others. When we made dumplings together and ate the meal, he was still thinking.

Rational judgment and emotional intolerance almost tore him apart.

Coupled with Yang Jia's worries, he suddenly realized that what he was doing now was not his own business.

So, why not take a walk?

Thinking in his mind, he slowly said to Yang Jia: "As you know, after graduating from high school, I was in a bad state. I was trapped in the bedroom for four years and didn't see anything."

"Now that I'm out, of course I have to take a good look at the world and see the things I missed."

"..."

Yang Jia heard some strange emotions from Xiao Xiao's words, hesitated slightly, and said directly: "Okay."

"Ouch……"

Xiao's mother, on the other hand, suddenly felt a little worried when she heard Xiao Xiao talk about what happened in those four years. Are all the children nowadays talking to such real people?

How can I tell people this kind of thing...

He opened the topic angrily: "It would be nice to go on a trip and have fun, but I don't know if Xiao Yang can ask for leave..."

"...What kind of job does Xiao Yang do?"

"..."

Yang Jia couldn't help but be startled when she heard such a down-to-earth conversation, and said, "I'm a doctor, a psychiatrist..."

"Well……"

Xiao's mother was startled for a moment, thinking that her child didn't seem to be quite right in this area before. Now she has found a psychiatrist, and I have to say that the profession is quite suitable...

…

…

For the confusion of this single person in Black Gate City, it does not affect the current situation of the entire world.

The chaos in this world is coming as expected, and it is out of control. Cities hate, attack, and fight each other like a snowball. More and more cities are getting involved. However, in this chaos, Black Gate City suddenly remained silent. Of course, it was only silence in attitude. In fact, in the mutual attacks of various cities in the world, the record player lady has always played a very important role as a weapons dealer. It can be said that wherever there is excitement, The more popular she becomes, the more points she earns, reaching a level that is scary.

As the initiator of this war, Black Gate City has always attracted much attention.

When encountering this type of problem before, the people who came out to mediate were all from the city of Rest. The Dante organization would occasionally do so, but it would not be its main business.

But now, the Dante organization has disappeared, and the city of Anxi has been completely destroyed. So, naturally, many people have thought of asking Black Gate City to come forward.

Some people are trying to embrace Black Gate City in this chaos. After all, Black Gate City is now the most dangerous city. Having formed an alliance with them, it is estimated that no one will dare to provoke them.

Some people are also thinking, didn't the president of Black Gate City say that he would hold another banquet?

Choose it...

Once the selection is made, maybe we don’t have to fight back and forth, how good would it be if we could just sit down and eat and drink together?

Feeling tangled up in their hearts, but still unable to contact the silent Black Gate City, some people had no choice but to go to the forum, crazy @old aunt, to quietly inquire about the current situation in Black Gate City.

And after the old aunt was so annoyed, she could only reply: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand."

"You guys fight with us first, our president is on vacation anyway."

"..."

Everyone who got the news looked confused: "Vacation?"

"The world has been turned into a mess, and the most dangerous guy actually went on vacation?"

"How do you feel..."

"...This behavior unexpectedly fits his personality?"

"..."

Of course, those who vaguely realize that it is hard to expect Black Gate City to do anything in this war can only concentrate on dealing with the predicament in front of them. However, in this predicament, there are indeed some A city escapes suspicion, just like the city that handed over the Nightmare Anchor to the red-eyed Lingping for only 30,000 points, claiming to have the ticket. This kind of thing is not clear from Black Gate City. This relationship actually made several of his rival cities dare not act rashly against him, temporarily protecting them.

And similarly, the city that took the initiative to hand over the Eternal Helmsman saw this and hugged Lao Zhou's lap under the Black Gate City Bridge, also claiming to have the ticket.

The city where Xiao Xiao spent 200 points to buy an S-class item was even more inspired and publicized the matter on a large scale. It actually scared his rival city into taking the initiative even though he had the upper hand. Ease relations with them and make alliances.

This has caused the importance of "ship tickets" to begin to spread among strangers. Having a ship ticket is considered an ally of Black Gate City, and no one dares to provoke it in this chaotic situation.

The only difficulty is that the city still retains the desolate sail, and Hanako has a headache every day:

"Why aren't you here yet?"

"Didn't the envoy from Black Gate City agree to exchange thirty points for the Desolate Sail of our city? He even signed the contract..."

"Why haven't they come yet?"

"Could it be..."

"..."

The more I think about Black Gate City's behavior, the more panic I feel: "Isn't it that they have already planned to list our city as the target of the next feast?"

"Oops, I know those two women are crazy and not very reliable..."

"It really doesn't work..."

"..."

They discussed: "Let's collect some points to buy this thing and send it to Black Gate City?"

…

…

"Now that it's out, let's take a good look!"

When Xiao Xiao quietly left Heimen City, Yang Jia also decided to go out with him. Xiao's mother was very supportive. She encouraged the two of them to go out together while eating dumplings that day. She also hinted that they were young and should save their money. If you can book one less room, book one less room...

For Yang Jia, the mentality of following Xiao Xiao was very complicated. When she left Black Gate City, she had already heard Xiao Xiao talk about Patient Zero and the horizontal mental resonance incident that affected the entire world. , and after thinking about it, he said seriously to Xiao Xiao: "In my opinion, the Noah plan must be implemented. Maybe this will appear cold, but I do think that solving all this weirdness will allow us to truly Returning to real life is the goal we have been pursuing..."

"However, I can understand your confusion, so I am willing to accompany you for a walk to find the answer."

"After all, compared to the progress of Noah's plan, perhaps our determination to execute this matter is what is more important to us."

"..."

Xiao Xiao, who was still in a confused state at the time, was deeply moved after hearing Yang Jia's words and hugged her heavily.

He had always known that Yang Jia was a person who would be very determined after setting a goal, so he was worried that she would not understand his entanglement, but he did not expect that she was indeed determined.

But she is willing to understand herself and give herself time.

"Then take a good look at this world..."

Holding Yang Jia's hand, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and quietly entered the sea of ​​mist.

But Yang Jia felt a little confused: "When did you start holding hands so naturally? Has he never made a formal confession or anything?"

"However, who told him that he is in a period of confusion? Just hold him..."

"..."

"..."

In the past four years, I imprisoned myself in a small bedroom, but now I want to see the whole world in order to solve my own confusion.

Xiao Xiao didn't preset questions or answers for himself in advance. He really just watched and kept himself in a state of reality. He walked through one city after another, which almost made him Perfectly avoiding the strangers in any city, just like an ordinary person traveling, looking at the living conditions in each city, looking at the busy and indifferent people in each city, looking at them living in the steel forest, just like a tourist NPC, walking diligently on his own track.

He and Yang Jia looked at all this with cold eyes as if they were from outside the world.

They saw the mobs running rampant in various cities and the administrative offices doing nothing.

They have seen hundreds of people fighting in the bustling center of the city, women being raped in alleys, and police officers leisurely drinking coffee in a coffee shop fifty meters away.

I saw groups of unemployed people sitting in the park with dull eyes, surrounded by mountains of garbage.

I saw drug addicts wandering the streets like zombies.

I saw groups of students with tattoos, wine bottles and cigarettes in their mouths, blocking an adult returning from get off work on the street and asking him for money.

I saw the unemployed and debtors crying on the roadside.

I also saw young girls holding suitcases, standing on the street like merchandise, letting the men passing by choose from them, and being taken home by them like gods, they had a dinner and a place to stay.

They saw the colorful world of the rich and the gloomy world of the poor.

…

Yang Jia also looked at all this in surprise.

This kind of power to see the world from a realistic level is not possessed by foreigners. Xiao Xiao is a person who lives in the cracks, so he has this ability. Now Xiao Xiao has Yang Jia also The ability to pull into the reality level, so the two of them saw what the world looked like together. Yang Jia did not expect that the original intention of this trip was to get Xiao Xiao out of his confusion, but the person who received the stronger stimulation was actually himself.

From the perspective of a stranger, everything seen is strange and terrifying.

But as the trip progressed, she felt more and more that some of the things she saw in reality were even more terrifying than what she saw from a stranger's perspective.

Gradually, they became less and less talkative.

Even Yang Jia, who had always been firm, began to feel vaguely shaken after seeing all this...

Is it really possible that opening the door to hell will destroy the world?

Is it really possible that the execution of Noah's plan will cause that desperate woman to come back for revenge?

Perhaps, if the world is like this, then her revenge is not unacceptable?

"Investigator Xiao?"

During the entire trip, no one from Black Gate City contacted them, and everyone in the Stranger World seemed to have disappeared.

Surprisingly, the Black Goat Club would occasionally try to contact Xiao Xiao. At first it was a phone call, but after Xiao Xiao refused to answer, it was turned into emails and messages.

"The matters in Xi'an City were handled very well. The senior management is very satisfied and decided to pay you a large bonus..."

"Investigator Xiao, I heard that you are on vacation recently?"

"Investigator Xiao, a month has passed. How was your rest?"

"Mr. Xiao, the company is considering splitting up houses. Do you want a large flat in the city center or a villa in the suburbs?"

"..."

"I like peace and quiet."

Xiao Xiao only replied this one, and then continued to remain in the hidden state.

On the other hand, the Black Goat Club, after receiving Xiao Xiao's reply, began to ask tentatively: "Mr. Xiao, the company is having a sorority party. There is caviar, one jar per person, do you want it?" Come?"

"Mr. Xiao, the company has encountered a difficult matter and would like to ask for your help. Do you have time?"

"Mr. Xiao, the Hell Legion is getting a little out of control in Xi'an City. Can you please go and have a look?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to these questions. He simply turned off his phone and continued his journey.

Walking from one city to another, walking in the shadow of steel buildings, looking at the festering and bleeding scars is shocking.

He seemed to be far away from the circle of strangers, and he didn't know what had become there, let alone what the Black Forest was worried about now. He just observed the world with his own eyes.

…

…

"He hasn't come back yet?"

Similarly, in today's Black Gate City, the shepherd's brows also furrowed after he failed to contact Xiao Xiao again.

"No."

Mr. Wild Dog, the senior investigator, looked embarrassed and helpless: "From the beginning to now, except for the question of house selection, he has ignored everything else."

"We can't keep dragging it on like this..."

The shepherd also had a bitter look on his face: "I just received the award from above, who knew this would happen again?"

"The old guys above are beginning to be dissatisfied. The Noah plan is advancing rapidly. To be honest, it's all thanks to us, but they are really dissatisfied. They say that now is the critical time to advance the third step of the plan. They asked us again and again why we haven’t taken action yet, damn, why weren’t they so anxious when we couldn’t even take the first step? Just because we work hard and do a good job, do we deserve to work overtime?”

"..."

Mr. Wild Dog was stunned and did not dare to answer. He had awe and fear for the company's senior executives who rarely showed up, no less than a stranger.

"Just because you do a good job doesn't mean you deserve to work overtime."

But at this moment, the black screen behind the shepherd suddenly lit up, and a figure wearing a red mask appeared, speaking lightly: "It's because some of the recent actions of the hell organization have affected our plans. Threatened."

"So, we can only advance the Noah plan as soon as possible."

"Besides..."

"..."

He paused slightly and said, "I asked you to work overtime, but didn't you get overtime pay?"

"Uh-huh!"

The shepherd turned to look at the screen, his face slightly cold. Now he was not in the Black Forest, but in the Black Goat Club.

So he didn't understand why someone's signal could be received without his consent, and he even monitored himself based on the other party's wishes.

With a flicker of his eyes, he glanced at the other party's cuffs, saw the golden button, and immediately understood the other party's identity. He quickly suppressed the coldness that flashed on his face, and smiled, saying : "People from the Council?"

"Council?"

Beside the shepherd, Mr. Wild Dog was suddenly startled, glanced at the screen, and then quickly lowered his gaze.

The upper level of the Black Forest, the most mysterious council?

Didn’t they disappear for a long time?

"yes."

The other party responded coldly to Shepherd's inquiry and said calmly: "Everything I said also represents the meaning of the council. You should understand the weight of this commission."

"I understand, I understand. After all, my pension is paid by you..."

The shepherd kept smiling and said, "However, I believe you have read the reports I wrote before. Since I took charge of this work, the progress and results have been quite good, right?"

"But we also have difficulties..."

"You must have discussed the evaluation report on our special investigator and should know it."

"He does have the ability, but we can't completely influence him."

"Theoretically, our Black Forest only has a cooperative relationship with him, so when he wants to take a vacation, we actually..."

"..."

"Partnership?"

On the screen, the man with a red mask on his face seemed to utter a low sneer: "He should be just an experimental subject in our company, right?"

"Drug tester No. 0?"

"..."

A hint of worry flashed across the shepherd's face for an instant, and his expression looked a little solemn, and he said, "Yes."

"But I have submitted a proposal to the company's upper management to change his identity to a special investigator of the Black Forest and change the relationship with him to a cooperative relationship. The upper management has also agreed..."

"..."

"The council has the power to overturn any decision they make."

The person wearing a red mask said calmly: "In addition, we do not think that we need to maintain a cooperative relationship with an experimental subject."

"If he is so uncontrollable, then he is not qualified to carry out such an important plan."

"..."

The shepherd suddenly felt deep worry in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Is there any way you can convince him? Do you know how terrifying the spiritual power he controls now is?"

"We don't need to convince him, we just need to make him listen."

On the screen, a man with a red mask on his face said calmly: "After discussion, the Council believes that the world upgrade plan has reached its most critical moment, so we no longer have to hide our power."

"Just seven hours ago, we signed an agreement to send out the people on the island to cooperate with him in completing the final mission."

"They are very good at making people obey, especially the experimental subjects."

"..."

"island?"

The shepherd's pupils suddenly trembled, and he looked a little panicked.
