Irvine year 932.

The Horn of Raging Wave Naval Port.

“Winter is coming… Another year has passed.”

Eve was leaning against the car window, looking at the gloomy plume clouds in the distance, feeling the coolness of late autumn.

She sighed for the passing of time, but unfortunately, no matter how she sighed, she couldn’t change this, so she turned her attention back to the newspaper and read it carefully.

About three months ago, Galunalo’s fleet attacked Lengbing Bay. Although Galunalo denied the ownership of these ships, judging from the wreckage of the hull, it was indeed a ship from Galunalo.

The conditions of the battle that night were extremely complicated. Galunalo’s fleet not only exchanged fire with Lingbing Bay, but also seemed to be fighting another enemy, but the newspaper did not specify who the other enemy was.

Also because of these unknowable reasons, everything has a different probability.

The world situation has become intensified. Whether it is the Viking countries or the Rhine Alliance, there have been calls for war. In the following time, there have been many conflicts in the White Tide Strait. Ships on both sides sunk, but the whole picture is set off. The flames of war have not been ignited.

Irvine needs time, and the Rhine League also needs time. According to the fishermen, the White Tide Strait has been completely blocked, and there are huge iron-clad ships that almost fill the strait.

Then, just when the two sides could no longer restrain themselves, and the full-scale war was about to break out, all this stalemate again, and the angry people had to stop thinking.

Just because…

Eve thought, looked towards the front page headline of the newspaper. The whole page contained only a few paragraphs of text and a blurry black and white photo.

There is a hideous and weird humanoid machine printed on the newspaper. It is steaming all over its body and holds a giant barrel in its hand. This is a weapon that needs carriage to be dragged, but it is so easily held in the hand. , And most importantly, there are more similar weapons on the weapon rack behind it, and this weird machine is walking on the streets of Old Turin.

Eve knows exactly what this is, the war machine from the perpetual motion pump, the third-generation original sin armor.

It minimizes the proportion of Demon flesh and blood, which greatly reduces the overall strength and mobility, but it is also the only armor that can be mass-produced and will not cause serious erosion to the driver and the surrounding people. .

Also because of the sudden appearance of the three generations of armor, the upcoming war has stalled for a while. The fleet of the Rhine Alliance is ready to go, but because of this unknowing strength of the machine, it is silent again.

Everyone needs to rethink whether they want to continue fighting in the face of Irvine like this.

Irvine’s military also conducted a military parade during this time. The three-generation armor is the protagonist. These new war machines can carry many heavy weapons and have a certain degree of mobility. No one Know how tragic they will kill on the battlefield.

The three generations of armors have not only shocked the enemy, but also many of their own people. It is the first time that most aristocrats know that there is such a thing in Irvine, and because of these factors, Platinum Palace is much more lively than before.

Of course, Eve knows very well that the three-generation armor is not only a reason to delay the war. It is indeed very strange and powerful, but there will always be young deer who are not afraid of tigers.

What really delayed the war temporarily was the builders scattered inside the countries. After Lorenzo returned from the sea of ​​silence, an encrypted telegram was sent to them. After a short agreement, this time “restart” “It will be postponed, but they don’t have much time for Lorenzo.

“The situation is actually worse than this. According to Lorenzo, this time may be the end of all mankind.”

Arthur rubbed his eyes, and after only a few months, he looked much older than before.

“I thought…I shouldn’t know this information.”

Eve’s mood is as heavy as his, and at the same time there is confusion in her heart.

“Actually, you should know. I have always wanted to protect you in a delicate birdcage, but all this has become more and more outrageous…Why not let you be free? Since I can’t teach you dance, it’s better to teach You have a gun.” Arthur said.

Eve put down the newspaper, “Are you trying to treat me as your successor?”

“This is not good,” Arthur shook the head, “Although you are my daughter, you still need a normal promotion if you want to sit in my position. I have already figured out who will succeed me.” [19459002 ]

Arthur looked towards the other side of the car as he said. On this train, they were not the only passengers.

The carriage shook slightly, and the armed train drove straight ahead on the desolate ground.

This is a no-man’s land. Looking around, it is difficult to detect any traces of human activities, and the armed train moves forward alone.

But it’s not lonely in the carriage. On the opposite side of Eve sat Arthur. Old Guy’s eyes were heavy. From time to time, he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. On the other side of the aisle sat Merlin and Abigail. Two important scientific researchers are also on the train.

According to the cleansing agency regulations, in order to avoid being beheaded, they shouldn’t have appeared together at the same time, let alone on the same vehicle, but today is an important day and they have to go together.

The other seats in the train were also full of security soldiers, but they were different from ordinary cleansing agency soldiers. Each of them wore heavy coats with bulletproof steel plates inserted under them and held them in their hands. With weapons and sharp knives, his face was hidden under the heavy gas mask.

With breathing, a heavy filter sounded in the cabin.

Not only that, a deeper sound of breathing sounded out of the car window, and a heavy steam of water rushed through, leaving a fine drop of water on the glass, but it was quickly dragged away by the wind.

The original sin armors remained on standby, quietly kneeling in the carriage in front of them, carrying all kinds of weapons, just like the silent Legion.

Eve can feel this clearly, he has some not knowing what to do in his heart, his eyes can’t help but sweeping in the car, and his surroundings are watching the scavengers.

It’s not that she has never seen these guys, but if you recall it carefully, this seems to be the first time Eve has seen these scavengers at such close range during the day.

They barely spoke, communicated entirely by gestures, and never took off their masks. It seems that all scavengers look like this, maintaining absolute secrecy and sealing off all self-related information.

Then his eyes fell to the rear, those more special passengers.

Arthur looked at these special passengers and continued.

“No one is from Eternal Undying, there will always be a successor.”

Out of sight, he caught a glimpse of the seats in the back row of the carriage. Arthur seemed to be seeing someone and laughed helplessly, “Of course, there may be exceptions. I think a bad guy like him can live at least a few hundred years old. .”

Eve also tried to look towards the guy sitting at the back, but he was in the blind spot of Eve’s perspective. From her position, he could only vaguely see the sword bags and guns leaning on the side. .

This guy is fully armed, as if to participate in a certain battle that is about to break out. He doesn’t know when all this will begin, so he can only keep himself armed at all times.

It is said that he has become like this after returning from Jihai, either lying in his own office motionless, or he is full of weapons and walks into the dark inside.

The grunting started, Eve looked away, followed Arthur’s gaze, and found the person he was referring to.

“You mean, is she his successor?”

“In Oscar’s words, it’s like this,” Arthur glanced helplessly at the guy who was sleeping hu hu by the car window. “He said that he devoted all his energy to writing inside, and he needed gangsters. Help him publish a book, and when he woke up from the world in the story, he found that he was old like this.”

“There are no relatives, no children, not even a few friends.”

Arthur was sighed long, as if he could see through the sadness under his smiling face.

“He is a terrible writer and an incompetent country builder. What he can do for the rest of his life is to let his mission inheritance, instead of cutting off in his own hands. If this is not possible, his Life is a complete failure.”

Under Arthur’s gaze, Oscar leaned against the car window and snores. I don’t know if he should admire his mentality, or if this person is really such a big heart, he actually fell asleep under the multiplying pressure. Yes, I slept soundly. Next to Oscar was another familiar person.

Seleu leaned against Oscar and looked down at the book in his hand.

Unlike the curious and hyperactive Eve, Seleu was very quiet, as if everything around her could not affect her.

Eve retracted his gaze and couldn’t help but say.

“Compared to his successor, I think he is looking for a nursing home for himself. The Stuart family has enough financial resources to allow Oscar to die comfortably.”

“Not only that, the Stuart family will also help Oscar to promote his work. Maybe after a while, the streets of Old Turin will be covered with posters of his new work.” Arthur said.

At this point, his expression was a little lost, and then he became serious.

“…The premise is that we can grab the future from Death God.”

“So do you care too much about the rules?”

Eve looking thoughtful.

The carriage was full of familiar people. They existed in different positions and represented different forces. On this day, they were summoned together and boarded the train leaving Old Turin.

Eve only felt that a heavy rain cloud was approaching, and her breathing became a little uncomfortable. She tried to remember, but realized with horror that she had no previous memories.

She can’t remember the memories before the ride.

Eve’s eyes looked straight at Arthur, and then slowly moved to other people, she began to find the weirdness here.

These people almost never appear together at the same time, but now they are on the same train, not to mention that Eve can’t remember the previous memories. She doesn’t even know how she got on the train.

“Don’t get excited, you were not attacked by Demon.”

Arthur noticed the change in Eve’s expression, and this change seemed to be inside him.

“I thought you would only notice these when you got out of the car.”

“What’s the matter?”

“A meeting, a meeting involving many people,” Arthur laughed and lightly stroked Eve’s forehead, “Don’t worry, you will get used to the scavengers’ methods in the future, but they usually do this only in emergencies.”

Listening to Arthur’s unfathomable mystery, Eve looked towards the silent soldiers on the side, she understood the whole story.

“Antimemetic…”

Eve lightly said, these people are gathered by scavenger, so what kind of meeting requires them to do this.

Suddenly the train stopped, it arrived at its destination, the door opened, and cold wind blew in.

Everyone kept silent, without any communication with each other, one by one got up, and then left the carriage. When Eve walked out, several buildings were erected inside the desolate, and on the farther sea, The huge ship was docked, and the crimson flag was flying on it.

Eve has never seen such a huge ship, nor has he seen such a flag.

Just as he was stunned, a strange accent rang out.

“Oh, you guys are finally here, I thought I would have to wait for a while.”

Eve looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elderly stranger, behind him there were more strangers.

They wore the same red dress as the flag, with shiny fish scales inlaid on it. This was an armor Eve had never seen before, if it counted as an armor.

The old man still had a simple long sword hung around his waist, and he carried an exquisite firearm behind his back. The equipment of other strangers was similar to him, but the decoration was different.

Eve’s sluggishness has become more serious. Whether it is armor design or weapons, she has never seen it before, and it is rarely mentioned in books. When she saw the old man’s black eyes, she Something seemed to be remembered, and the memory buried in dust revealed a glimmer of light.

“Nine…Nine Summers?”

“Yes, yes.”

The old man was very easy-going and responded with a smile, but his Western language had a somewhat funny accent.

“Then, let’s start the meeting. According to the information given by Mr. Holmes, we don’t have much time left.” The old man’s smile receded and became hard as iron, “You guys Do you have any ideas?”

“Yes, Mr. Holmes and I worked out a plan together, which may kill Roger Cruz and Ed Len Levien and destroy these two unstable factors in one fell swoop.” Merlin walked out After leaving the carriage, he said directly.

“What kind of plan?”

“This has to start with the nature of our enemy, which is why scavenger and Nine Summers are involved.” Oscar said, standing beside him in the indifferent Seleu.

Many people participated in this project, not only the various departments of the cleansing agency, but also Irvine and Nine Summers.

The people in the carriage were basically down, squeezed into a pile on the platform, and formed a group with the Nine Summers group temporarily stationed here.

“They are all sublimers, they can freely [Gap] shuttle, read everyone’s memory, plus their own powerful power, they are simply mortals walking in the world.”

Oscar continued.

“If you want to make a proper metaphor…they are like a group of readers.”

“Reader?”

The old man was very interested when he heard Oscar’s words.

“Yes, don’t you think? We are all characters in the story. What we are doing is the advancing plot. We need to let the plot come to’we kill them’, but it’s bad The thing of luck is that our enemies are “readers”, which means that they can read the stories, see the actions in our books, accurately read our mental activities, and know everything we want to do. [19459002 ]

So no matter what plan we have, it is meaningless in front of the reader’s power. He can listen to any of us’s conversations, our psychological activities, and even say to replace us, check our past, and drive us The body carries the future. “

The old man fell silent. He seldom heard such an interesting metaphor, and because of this novel angle, he once again felt the terrifying of the enemy.

“So what should we do?”

“Become someone outside the story.”

The hoarse voice sounded, like a hangover drunkard, he stepped on heavy steps, and the last passenger staggered off the train.

“It’s very simple. If you jump out of this story and don’t exist inside this story, then readers won’t be able to read this story, and won’t know our intentions.”

His eyes were red, and it seemed that in order to come up with this plan, he didn’t sleep much for several days.

“The Outsider.”

“An “outsider” who is not known by the enemy or by us, only appears at the most critical moment and changes the course of the entire operation.”

He raised his hand as he said, as if pinching a tiny piece of dust.

“As long as you change a little bit, make changes in the key parts, an ordinary plan will become a hunting operation.”

“So is this the reason we have to forget this meeting? Even we ourselves shouldn’t remember who the’outsider’ is.” the old man asked.

“Yes, a transcendence story, transcends everyone’s cognition, an assassin hidden in the dark.”

The old man looked at the scavengers behind the man, and he squinted at the soldiers behind him. The technology of the Nine Summers is completely different from that of Irvine. Compared with these industries, they are better at treacherous antimemes. And this is why they are here at the moment.

“No one can remember, what I have forgotten… This plan is very risky. Once an outsider has a problem, we will move towards the end, and there is no possibility of recovery.”

It is because of the understanding of antimeme that the elderly understand the danger. If the plan is not corrected by outsiders, then it is doomed to fail.

“I believe in outsiders.”

The man looked at the old man with a firm expression, and there was nothing in his gray-blue eyes.

There was a stalemate for a while, and the old man laughed.

“To be able to return from the sea of ​​silence, to obtain such important information, to fill the history of mankind… This is simply a great feat, but unfortunately it cannot be written into the book.”

The old man did not think for too long, extended the hand, and held it with the man.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Holmes.”

“Me too, General Zuojin.”

Lorenzo stared at the black-eyed stranger, lifts the head, his eyes swept over more black-eyed strangers, and finally stayed on the crimson banner.

“We should soon forget each other.” Lorenzo said regretfully.

“It’s okay,” Zuojin said, “We will meet for the first time in a few days.”

Lorenzo was startled, then nodded with a smile.

“Yes, we met for the first time.”
