Blade of Time

Chapter 65 Suicide?

Hongyang Building, this is the headquarters of Hongyang Group in Maple Leaf City.

When Jiang Changye arrived, people from the Department of Public Security had already cordoned off the building below.

With a wave of Jiang Changye's hand, Zhenmagic's ID card was revealed, and his fingers pressed the word "apprentice" just right.

This is the North District, and the security officer didn't know Jiang Changye. Seeing that it was someone from the Zhenmag Division, he was a little surprised: "Why are the people from the Zhenmag Division here? Are they still from the Southern District?"

Jiang Changye smiled and replied: "Let's see if it has something to do with the invasion of foreign races. Foreign races are no small matter, and there are not so many boundary restrictions. Just take a look. If it has nothing to do with it, I will leave."

He said a cigarette and handed it over.

The Zhenmagic Department is different from the Public Security Department. It is impossible for the foreign race to change places. The Zhenmagic Department does not go after the truth. The regional restrictions are very small, and the cooperation space of each department is relatively large. Go to another area to handle cases.

For the sake of handing over cigarettes, the security guards didn't care, and let Jiang Changye enter.

Take the elevator all the way up to the 72nd floor, and see a group of security guards surrounding a laboratory.

In a laboratory full of equipment, the dead body of an old man was lying heavily, with blood flowing all over the place—his neck was severed, and he still held a paper knife in his hand.

Either way, it's suicide.

A large crowd gathered around the body.

The leading sheriff was a bearded guy who was checking the identity of the deceased, and a group of reporters were swarming and taking pictures in the distance.

A security officer said: "It is confirmed that the deceased, Isolde, the general manager of Stargate Development Department of Hongyang Group, was 56 years old, had won the Dahl Award, and was one of the best space researchers in Pure Land. He also developed a space structure. Boundary technique, but I am not a sequencer."

The sheriff called over a researcher: "Did the deceased have any abnormal behavior before his death?"

The researcher replied: "He is usually fine, but when he came here today, he seemed to have something on his mind. He was very unhappy all the time and scolded several people."

"What have you been researching recently?"

"It's nothing, it's the Star Tower Project."

The Star Tower Project is a big project that Pure Land has carried out over the years. To put it bluntly, it is a star gate transmission.

Stargate teleportation belongs to the category of astral sequence, but it has its own limitations.In order to improve the internal transportation capacity, Pure Land launched the Star Tower Project 20 years ago, which belongs to the ultra-short distance star gate transmission.

This is the exact opposite of Earth.

The earth is the more costly the longer the distance.

However, because of the space-time rift in the sequence element, the cost of ultra-long-distance transmission is not much higher than the cost of short-distance transmission, and its cost is relatively fixed.

As a result, long-distance transportation is more convenient, but short-distance transportation has no advantage at all-the prices are similar between far and near, so short-distance transportation must be replaced by other methods.

The purpose of the Star Tower Project is to reduce short-distance transportation costs and achieve a wider range of short- and medium-distance transmission capabilities.

After 20 years of development, many star towers for transmission have been established in various parts of the Pure Land. Some of these star towers use the ability of the astral sequence, and some use the power of science and technology.

For Maple Leaf City, the Hongyang Group is responsible for the technology system.

"Be more specific." The security officer asked.

The researcher said: "Mr. Isolde's research is very diverse and not limited to a single level. There are as many as twelve research projects in his hands. Of course, the Star Tower Project is his priority. In addition, it includes the research and development of some secret guides to improve the effect of the corresponding secret technique, the research to improve the space device, etc. "

If it is said that on the earth, people develop technology and master the power of technology, then in the ordinal dimension, it is just the opposite.

What is developed here is the powerful individual strength. In addition to the main force of the Sequence of Creation relying on the power of technology, the deeper development of technology is to assist in improving the personal force of the Sequence fighters.

After all, in this dimension, human potential is extremely terrifying.

A considerable number of companies in the Pure Land Civilization are engaged in auxiliary improvement equipment for various sequences or secret techniques, and the meaning of their existence is to allow sequence fighters to enter the country faster.

In the previous world, it might take seven or eight years for a Sequence 9 fighter to advance to Sequence 8, but now it may only take two or three years for a talented person to advance to a higher level.Like Tian Siruo, she was promoted to Sequence 7 in three years. Apart from her own talent and hard work, part of the reason was that her backer gave her a very important technological auxiliary equipment.

However, the equipment can only assist this step, and it will not work later, and it comes from other civilizations and cannot be copied.

"Have these studies been completed?" asked the bearded sheriff.

The researcher replied: "Most of them are still in the testing stage. I don't know the specific situation. But once I overheard him complaining, saying that the project has failed and cannot continue. It must be stopped immediately."

The bearded man asked, "Did he say which project it was?"

The researcher shook his head: "No, I don't know which project he is referring to."

Jiang Changye couldn't help but asked: "So is there such a possibility? Dr. Isolde tried to terminate a project that he thought had failed, but someone didn't want him to do so, so he was killed?"

The researcher froze for a moment, nodded and said, "It's possible, but how he died is not something I need to consider."

The bearded man looked at Jiang Changye: "Who are you?"

Jiang Changye followed suit and held up his trainee police officer certificate.

The bearded man obviously wasn't that easy to talk to, so he came over and pulled Jiang Changye's ID.

Now I can't cover the word "apprentice" with my fingers.

The bearded man looked at it and smiled: "Apprentice? Why did a trainee from the Zhenmagic Division come over to join in the fun? Get him out!"

Jiang Changye was very witty, and he withdrew before others came to chase him away.

When he came to a corner of the corridor, Jiang Changye leaned against the window, making a gesture of looking at the scenery, and at the same time started backtracking again.

------------

In the room, Jiang Changye stood there like a ghost.

A quarrel was going on right under his nose.

The dead Isolde held a strange crystal in his hand, and looked angrily at a bearded man in front of him: "Tell me, where did you get this thing?"

The mustache is exactly the one Jiang Changye saw during the day.

He was sitting in a corner of the room at the moment, and said leisurely: "It's not important, Isolde. What's important is that with it, you can realize your research."

"You're farting!" Isolde roared, "This is a non-purification product, do you know what the consequences of using it are?"

Mustache shook his head and said, "I can understand your concerns, but we have confirmed that this alienated item is not communicable."

"Then there is no point in using it! Science should be able to replicate!" Isolde roared.

Mustache smiled and said, "Oh, no, no. You never need too many truly valuable things. What you are engaged in has never been a product of pure technology. Even if it is an orphan product, there is still no problem."

"But the things produced in this way are likely to cause the user to suffer alienation erosion!"

The lack of transmission does not mean that there will be no erosion of the law, and Shi Angel does not have transmission characteristics, but it still erodes Jiang Changye, causing Jiang Changye to take a three-hour bath.

"It's a big deal to purify a few more times, it's just a matter of consuming some purification liquid. The point is that it can increase the speed of understanding the law!"

what?
Jiang Changye was shocked.

Law comprehension is the bottleneck faced by almost all sequence fighters. Except for the law crystal and the church baptism ceremony, you can only rely on your own comprehension.Law crystals also have their own limitations. Not only are they rare, but the key is that each sequence can use a limited number of them, no more than three.As for the church baptism... hehe, that's not cheap either!
Because of this, equipment that can increase the speed of understanding the law has become the pursuit of many people.

No wonder Mustache insisted on doing this, no wonder he was going to steal something from the College of the Holy Cross... it must have been something from the College during the day.

As an institution of higher learning, Holy Cross College itself has various research propositions, including the research on alienated objects.Mustache bought a certain student, stole this thing, and then used it for Isolde to use.

But Mustache obviously didn't expect Isolde to be so stubborn.

Isolde is not a Sequencer, and he is not interested in the Sequencer's set of values ​​that rare is the best.

For him, the equipment made with the help of alienated items means the failure of research—it cannot be copied, it cannot be widely used to benefit everyone, and it can only become a sharp weapon in the hands of a certain powerful person.

What's the point of research like that?
At this moment Isolde shook his head again and again: "We still know too little about the law of alienation. It is not communicable now, but it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future. Purification is not omnipotent. Who can guarantee that it will not cause some kind of alienation in the future? Evil and hard-to-spot erosion?"

Well, makes sense!
Jiang Changye admired Isolde very much.

As the only person who understands the source of the law of alienation, Jiang Changye knows that Isolde is right.

Because the law of alienation comes from the earth, the earth conceives all kinds of strange things and endows them with various mysterious settings.

Some of these settings just happen to take a long time to work.

As for what the crystal in front of him was, Jiang Changye didn't know.

There are too many sources of alienation, it is impossible for Wei Poxiao to watch all the movies and play all the games.

Seeing that Isolde was so resolute and stubborn at this moment, Mustache shrugged: "Well, if this is the case, then forget it, it's not a big deal anyway."

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked out.

Isolde said suddenly: "I won't install the generator on the stargate."

"Huh?" Mustache suddenly turned to look at Isolde: "What did you say?"

Isolde looked at him straightly: "I suddenly thought of one thing, Emer. If... I mean if, someone installs some kind of alienated product similar to mental brainwashing in the generator, and then installs it on the generator. Will there be some bad consequences for the Star Tower project?"

The mustache Emer's face was a little ugly: "Isolde, I have accepted your opinion, we will stop the alienation loading, which will not affect other uses of the generator. It can reduce the energy consumption of the star tower transmission, which will This approach is not necessary."

Isolde shook the crystal in his hand: "But I'm still worried. To be honest, I don't trust you very much. Yes, this thing has no propagating ability, but if there are other propagating laws, add it too. That would be hard to say."

Mustache smiled: "Are you accusing me of doing something that would endanger the Pure Land?"

Isolde said coldly: "I have noticed that something is wrong with the movement within the group recently. Some time ago, Amiro died suddenly, and then you took over, and I know that this kind of crystal is only available in the Academy of the Holy Cross, but I heard that a mentor died mysteriously two months ago, named Ilite. You know that Ilite, don’t you?”

Mustache's face changed.

He looked at Isolde with a gloomy face: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Isolde shook his head: "I don't want to participate in these things, and I will not allow the generator to continue to be used. I will destroy it!"

As he spoke, he picked up a black box beside him.

Seeing this scene, Mustache's complexion changed slightly.

There was a strange light in his eyes: "You are useless, you can die."

As he let go, the old man fell back a few steps. He stared blankly at the mustache, then grabbed a paper knife, and cut towards his neck...

Seeing this, Mustache smiled slightly, and continued to chant something softly.

This is the trace of using the secret technique before erasing him.

After doing this well, Mustache took the black box and crystal, left the laboratory, and closed the door intimately.
