Fast Forward To three thousand and seventy seven

As the only survivor of the return of the exploration team.

Zheng Yi is undoubtedly the most appropriate target for Xu Jiu to inquire about the internal situation of the special area.

When things developed to this point, Zheng Yi also knew that it was meaningless to continue to hide those intelligence.

Therefore, in the face of Xu Jiu's inquiry, he did not hesitate to choose to hold it out.

"The area of the crown level special area is wider than any special area I have ever been to. Sometimes I even suspect that it is simply a part of another world. The light barrier is just the product of space distortion."

After sipping her coffee, Zheng Yi pondered her sentence and wanted to start a conversation. Putting aside those things of consciousness, he decided to pick the point and say,

"The exploration team didn't stay in the crown level special area for too long. All I can tell you is what happened on our course of action, that is, several places that need special attention."

Xu Jiu nodded to understand. He didn't come to listen to the story. He wanted dry goods.

Zheng Yi really wants to talk about the "routine" of the exploration team. He's not happy yet.

"The selected admission site is a city in the crown level special area, not the old and dilapidated special area urban relics you imagine. The environment of that city is very strange... According to our observation, a large number of residents still live in the city!"

"Cough! What did you say?"

Xu Jiu, who had just picked up the drink, was startled by Zheng Yi's sudden speech.

Residents living in crown specific cities?

"I know it sounds incredible, but that's the truth. It's just that they seem to exist in another space. We can't see the appearance of these residents. We can only judge their trajectory by the movement of objects."

Zheng Yi tried to describe their discovery in the special area, but Xu Jiu was still confused,

"For example, just like the conversation we are having now, if this is a city in the special area and we are residents, members of the exploration team can see the movement of coffee cups and beverage bottles, but they can't see us and can't hear our voice."

"Wait, according to you, there are people living in the city... For the time being, residents. They can move items. You think they should also be able to move items. Why can you say that they are in another space? Can you touch them?"

In Xu Jiu's opinion, since both sides can contact the same object, no matter what, the residents in the city are at most invisible.

However, the fact is obviously more bizarre than Xu Jiu thought.

"That's what I'm going to say next. We've tried. Not only can't touch their bodies, but anything touched by those invisible residents will enter a state of nothingness that can be seen but can't be touched."

As if she had expected Xu Jiu's confusion, Zheng Yi quickly answered it, but it obviously couldn't explain the previous problem.

But the words came again.

If we can explain the strange current situation in the crown level special area clearly, where will Zheng Yi's exploration team be trapped and die in it?

Xu Jiu looked at Zheng Yi's helpless face and soon realized this.

......

The hands of the antique wall clock kept moving.

They sat opposite each other in the living room.

Most of the time, Zheng Yi said that Xu Jiu occasionally asked some targeted questions.

It is not easy to recall the terrorist events experienced. Rao Shizheng Yidu stopped halfway to have a rest and borrowed the strange Necklace in Xu Jiu's hand to recover.

As the conversation came to an end, the sunlight projected out of the window was a bit darker, and the dust floated in the light, gathering and dispersing from time to time.

Xu Jiu put down the bottle. The drink inside had bottomed out, and the relaxed look on his face disappeared. He thought about what he had just heard.

"City, port and temple are the key points of the most basic route. What we need to do is to avoid possible dangers along the way as much as possible, get the ticket in the city as soon as possible, board the port and park the sailboat, and finally arrive at the temple to complete the seal."

Zheng Yi drank the last sip of coffee, moistened her throat and began to summarize his plan.

The process of this action may sound a little unreliable. There are no details at all, but now it sounds in line with the actual situation.

The environment in the crown level specific area is constantly changing due to the erosion of evil energy.

Now nearly a month has passed since Zheng Yi's last expedition. He is not a prophet. Naturally, it is impossible to predict the situation inside. He can only control the most critical process with the help of his last experience.

"The battle is inevitable. If there is no danger, it is farting. After all, the former leader was a dragon's gate, and finally he was folded in it, but he had a problem because of the changes in the temple. There was no place where the dragon's gate was needed in the previous route."

At this stage of the conversation, it's nonsense to talk about the safety of the route. Zheng Yi knows it in her heart and is very calm in her words,

"When I left the team and returned, the situation there had not deteriorated. Supported by the apostle in Longmen, we could actually persist for a period of time. If we could speed up, we might be able to join them. At that time, the success rate of the action would be greatly increased."

The second half of Zheng Yi's sentence is undoubtedly another main purpose of the Wusu officials who are so anxious to send people to the crown level special area. They hope to rescue the people of the last expedition through this action.

Especially the apostle in Longmen, this kind of existence is very important to the whole Wusu city.

"... I can join in this operation."

After a long silence, Xu Jiu sighed and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Great! If you are willing to participate, I am confident to take the team to the temple!"

Zheng Yi, who got a positive answer, immediately clenched her fist and waved twice. A look of joy appeared on her face.

"Don't hurry and be happy. I have to say something ahead. Don't argue again in the crown level special area."

Xu Jiu raised her hand to signal Zheng Yi to calm down, and then said,

"First, participating in the action does not mean that I will fully obey your arrangement. The situation in the crown level special area is complex. I will judge the situation by myself. How to act can be discussed, but don't think about commanding me."

"You can rest assured that I am the captain of this operation. Do you think I will command you?"

"Second, I won't fight for your task. When it comes to life and death, I will give up the task directly. I won't care whether those evils will escape or not, because it's important to keep my life!"

Xu Jiu didn't have much sense of mission to complete the official task of Wusu. He wanted to see what the temple with a lot of evil seals mentioned by Zheng Yi was more than to complete the task.

"Yes, if you can't do anything, you can leave at any time."

Zheng Yi's request for Xu Jiu is not surprising. He didn't expect Xu Jiu to work hard for Wusu city.

In fact, even for the members sent by the Bureau of foreign affairs and the secret society, they have their own internal explanations. If the situation is really critical, withdrawal cannot be considered.

The reason why they were forced to add the retreat option to the operation was the information from the secret society, or the reminder from some time before the universal star retreat. The situation of sneaky invasion is inevitable.

Wusu city has lost a group of elites, and must not lose the second batch. It has caused a great blow to the next plans in all aspects.

"Third, I don't think you need to say more about your current situation. When you enter the crown level special area, you can't get out basically. I want to ensure that I can get paid!"

It is Xu Jiu's principle to do as many things as possible and get as much reward. Zheng Yi, as the seal container of the evil body, basically has no accidents after entering the crown level special area.

Even if it is somewhat cruel to mention this topic at this time, Xu Jiu has to take preventive shots first, and then he will cause some shit trouble.

"No problem. I'll tell the Bureau and the secret society to prepare the reward in advance."

Several times, Zheng Yi strengthened her seal, and the evil spirit eroded her body. Today, Zheng Yi not only did not fear death, but regarded it as liberation. Therefore, she didn't care much about Xu Jiu's straightforward words.

"When are you going to the crown zone?"

"The team has been set up. It still lacks some preparation in advance. It will leave in two days."

Because the team members participating in the operation are not professional special area exploration team members, coupled with the particularity of the crown level special area, the difference adjustment Bureau and the secret society need to carry out some basic protection for them.

For example, in order to fight against the evil energy everywhere, everyone has to draw a spell seal in advance to prevent people from going insane when they are not defeated by the monster in the middle of the action.

"Remember to contact me in advance."

Xu Jiu nods to show that he knows.

At this point, the two sides reached a consensus. Zheng Yi got up and shook hands with Xu Jiu, went to Vanessa's office, informed her and immediately left the office. He also needs to go back to Wusu city to train those members who have entered the action team list, and can't stay in Wushan gathering point for a long time.

Without exception, those people participated in the exploration of crown level specific area for the first time. If they didn't prepare in advance, I'm afraid something would happen soon after they went in.

"Crown zone... This operation is dangerous?"

Back in the living room, Vanessa looked at Xu Jiu who was still thinking on the sofa and asked subconsciously.

As soon as she said it, she regretted it

Can general Zheng Yi come and invite him personally and talk about the task for nearly two hours? Isn't it dangerous?

"The only crown level specific area on the Wusu wasteland is a big challenge."

Xu Jiu, who had recovered, shrugged his shoulders, smiled, stood up, and then Fu Ling jumped over from the side, and then said,

"However, I've been used to it for a long time. Don't forget that opportunities are often hidden in danger!"

......

Jingling bell~

Late at night, the prompt tone of incoming communication sounded one after another.

Xu Jiu, who was sleeping in bed, turned over and subconsciously frowned. The awakened Fu Ling looked up at his mobile phone and arched Xu Jiu twice.

Reaching out at the head of the bed, Xu Jiu fumbled for a while. Only then did she find the location of the mobile phone.

"Hey, it's me... How did you succeed... Where are you?"

His closed eyes suddenly opened. Xu Jiu sat up, shook his head left and right, and threw out the dizziness in his mind,

"What, you're at the door, which door... My door?"

Open the quilt and walk barefoot to the door. At the moment of entering the password to open the door, a lump of unidentified object "flew" in. Xu Jiuqiang raised his hand to catch the unidentified flying object with his instinct of punching back.

"Succeeded! Xu Jiu, I succeeded. What the master left me was really not a toy building block. It was a special wonder!"

Xu Jiu, who had just woken up, leaned back his neck and tried to avoid the hair spilled when Gloria shook her head because of excitement. Just when he was considering whether throwing someone directly to the ground would create an injured person, his lips were suddenly blocked by someone. He stepped back without waiting for him to react. Then he heard the latter say,

"Thank you. Without your help, I couldn't open the gearbox all my life. What the master left me may have been buried."

"You... Go and wash quickly!"

Xu Jiu put the man on the ground and said helplessly.

"Do you dislike me?"

As soon as Goliath's movements stagnated, she leaned her head against Xu Jiu and refused to let go,

"I didn't expect you to be such a person. I help you crack the mechanism day and night. You despise me and don't want to kiss me!"

"Did you eat pickled cabbage steamed stuffed bun on your way here?"

Xu Jiu turned his eyes and wiped the vegetable leaves and oil stars from his lips. His teeth creaked.

"Well, sorry, I forgot..."

He hid the paper bag with the remaining half of the steamed stuffed bun behind him, showing an embarrassed but polite smile. Seeing Xu Jiu raise his hand, he quickly put the box with the gearbox on the table, turned and rushed into the bathroom.

Instead of taking care of Gloria, Xu Jiu sat at the table, opened the box and took out the properly kept gearbox.

Now the state of the gearbox is quite different from that before.

Xu Jiu clearly remembers that when Gloria first tried to crack it, the surface of the box would take the initiative to build various models and rehearse some things that had happened in a way close to a stage play.

But now the model on its surface seems to have been reset, leaving only a pile of split small blocks.

Not only that, without any external force, these small thumb sized gearbox blocks rotate with a specific law, which looks like they are ready to make a new picture at any time.

Recalling the recent progress of Goliath's cracking, the whole gearbox should only have the horizontal starting point of exploration and the vertical two boxes with unknown functions that have not been cracked.

Turning the gearbox according to this idea, Xu Jiu soon found that the box surfaces used to record the exploration process in different rows have completely returned to the small squares mentioned above. The two opposite sides of the column position remain the same, except for a groove the size of a thumb in the middle.

Xu Jiu didn't press it rashly. She turned and looked at Gloria who had just come out of the bathroom and waved her to come over and explain.

"In the early morning of this morning, I cracked all the case surfaces and reset the whole case. The groove on the side you are facing now is the reset button. As long as you press it, the adventure process originally recorded on the case surface will be cleared immediately."

Gloria, who had studied the gearbox deeply in her workshop, immediately gave the answer. Then she came up to Xu Jiu, took the gearbox in her hand, turned to the side facing the reset button, and pointed to the central area,

"Look here, there is a mark that is obviously different from other areas of the gearbox. I think this is the key to starting it again. However, there should be other rules here, but I can't guess. I have to try to know."
