The Riddler Get Out of Terra

Infer the type of experimental reagents based on time?No, no, what's the use of knowing the type of experiment?I’m not here to work part-time as a commercial spy!

Guessing staff transfers based on time?That's not right. These experimenters probably left Anwen City and went to other places after the experiment was stopped, and expending great efforts to find them was not worth the loss.

Use time as a breakthrough to pry open the mouth of City Lord An Wong?Impossible. A person who can be exposed by such a little psychological pressure can't hide anything in the face of interrogation. Hao Zhao can also get the information I can get.

So what can I learn about these times?

……

After rummaging through the time and comparing experiments again and again, Jingzhe's anxious nose started to sweat, but he still couldn't find much useful information.

It wasn't until her fingers were covered in dust and her cheeks were dirty that she gradually discovered the most essential context through constant searching:

It seems that the laboratory was shut down half a year ago, but the Governor's reduction in funding for the laboratory began three years ago. The shutdown intensified a year ago, and a large number of experimental projects were terminated. Many experiments clearly have further progress. The value was directly dealt with, and the experimenters were dismissed!

What happened three years ago?

What happened a year ago?

Jingzhe thought about it carefully, analyzing everything from the turmoil in the officialdom of the Yan Kingdom to the direction of the various Yan Kingdom armies, but she still could not find a clear context. It was not until she remembered the order she had received in the court that she stared as if she had just woken up from a dream. Her beautiful eyes widened and her pupils trembled as she stared at these crooked time nodes:

If, if she was not wrong, the war in the Northern Territory intensified three years ago, the massive loss of population and the declining quality of life made her, the then general manager of the Northern Territory, exhausted mentally and physically, and she began to doubt her own administrative purposes - that was her first The first time I had the idea of ​​giving up on everything I had worked hard for was the beginning of my current frustration and disappointment in the fantasy world.

A year ago, she began to make preparations to inspect various places in Yanguo to investigate whether each place was doing a good job of caring for the people and how well her policies were being implemented. During that process, she had been careful and did not reveal any information. She completely planned to keep it secret. Investigate and seek peace of mind...

So, so...!

no, I can not!I'm just an ordinary official, how could I...?

? !

wrong!

wrong! ! !

Something seemed to be broken in her mind, and it seemed as if the chain that had been covering her mind had been opened. Jingzhe took a deep breath and found the problem that she had always ignored:

She is not some Yanguo official who can be seen everywhere, nor is she the frustrated Lin Qingyan, she, she is a real existence in the illusion!

Just like the last shock coming from the distance before the avalanche starts, and like the last impact of magma on the cave entrance before the volcano erupts, as the last piece of the puzzle is completed, the recognition of its own specialness before the arrival of Hao Zhaohe Xi makes Jingzhe knock After shattering the ideological seal that had been brought to her over the years, she finally discovered that something was wrong with the whole process:

There is no doubt that there must be something that has been paying attention to everything about her. It hides in the dark and does not show up, but it has been understanding her psychology and her thinking, constantly hinting, constantly extending her stay, and waiting patiently. The arrival of an opportunity.

Her disappointment and indignation were the beginning, and her departure now was the clarion call for the ending!

"..."

At the moment when she figured it out, when she woke up from her dream of keeping the people of Yan country well-fed and clothed, Jingzhe was frightened by the giant net that had enveloped her from the beginning and had difficulty breathing.

Unprecedented, how is it possible? !

She thought about the traces of her transition from student to spy to official to collapse over the years, thinking about the thinking patterns of everyone she met and the thinking circuits of every acquaintance, and then discovered a problem that was easy to ignore before but is now very obvious. :

In her mind, any old, unreasonable person or force that would confront her would always get a chance to make a comeback from the shadows. Even if she relied on experience and intelligence to strike accurately time and time again, these should be buried in the pile of history. Things always come back to life.

And as long as the reality in her thoughts is too high, and if it falls into mediocrity, it is likely to cause a strong sense of collision, it will disappear in the environment:

For example, Kazdaele's First Empire and Longmen Hao Zhao never appeared at the beginning, such as the liar Yuri who never appeared but was the trigger for their encounter in Hao Zhao's narration of reality, such as Zuo Le, Taihe...

These people and things either didn't exist from the beginning, or they quickly disappeared due to her negligence or job transfer. And every time she thought about these things, there were always many people who were completely testing her no matter what. Big trouble of faith happens.

The illusion is composed of her as a participant. If the mastermind behind the scenes chooses to be fate or the mastermind who designs the script, then Jingzhe will also gain certain permissions. However, she has tried self-hypnosis many times in the past decades, but failed every time. Without success, she could only find that the fantasy became more and more realistic, making her addicted to it and unable to extricate herself.

Therefore, the black hand who weaves her destiny and traps her in the script must also be alive as a character in this environment, and this character must know all the information about Jingzhe, understand every move she makes, and must also be in charge of her position. She has high authority and arranges every step of her personnel transfer to achieve a political balance that can not only make Jingzhe feel that the promotion is reasonable, but also make her unable to refute the suppression.

What kind of identity would such a person have?

The thinking suddenly stops at a certain stage, and the guessing ends abruptly at the final stage.

She should be fearful, doubtful, disbelieving, and dizzy, but when the final conclusion was burned into her mind, Jingzhe's mood was unexpectedly calm.

Indeed, for almost 30 years, only one person has been paying attention to her changes, only one person can arrange all her paths, and only one person is completely different in her impression, with great majesty, almost making Jingzhe sincerely convinced, Afraid to touch.

Of all the deliberate similarities, only this one is different!

She stumbled open the sliding door of the laboratory, slid down the stairs with trembling legs, her mind went blank, her hands almost followed the inertia, and tremblingly pushed open the door of the room where Hao Zhao was interrogating the Governor.

Chapter 292 Magnetic Field Lock·City Level (4) ([-]K)

"Mr. Governor, there is an old saying in the Yan Kingdom that those who know the current affairs are heroes. The things you committed in Anwen City are enough that we don't have to leave you any face, reputation, family, body, spirit... We have many aspects. We can design a plan specifically for you, and we even have a capable person here who is responsible for healing, which is enough for you to experience it completely - just like what I just did, I think you don’t want to experience it again, right?"

Hao Zhao's unusual and unusually cold words rang out in the interrogation room that was temporarily renovated in the private security training ground. When Jingzhe opened the door and walked in, he happened to see the governor with a pale face and sweating on his head, huddled on the chair in pain. , extremely fearful, trying to give himself a slight sense of security.

"You kill me! You kill me!"

He shouted in a hoarse voice, his voice like a broken gong no longer as clear as when he first faced these uninvited guests. Jingzhe didn't know what Hao Zhao had done, but Qilin knew just by looking at the desperate look of Governor An Wong who wanted to die. The methods used by Orange Cat must be shockingly dark.

Hao Zhao didn't speak. Instead of continuing to exert pressure and tear apart the governor's spiritual defense, the orange cat was more interested in Jingzhe's gains. Seeing Jingzhe's embarrassment and failure to clean up his clothes in time, the orange cat frowned slightly, and the invisible magnetic field It absorbed a lot of dust and gave Jingzhe a decent appearance.

"Thank you." Jingzhe followed and arranged her clothes. After entering the tidy area, the exhausted Yanguo secret agent took a deep breath and walked into the basement, recounting her findings in the cold light:

"Three years ago, he began to carry out the task given to him by the adult. A year ago, the plan entered the most intense stage, and now the plan is completed.

, thinking that it was a waste of time, he began to think of ways to hide his family and cut off the clues here alone. "

!

The governor glanced at Jingzhe in shock, but still kept his mouth shut, not daring to tell any news.

"Oh? It seems like he values ​​his family more than anything else."

A smile appeared on Hao Zhao's face, and he slowly walked towards the struggling governor. On his left hand, the blue electric light danced wildly, with a terrifying authority.

"No!!!! I don't know anything!!! Please let me go and give me a break!!!!"

The lord screamed miserably, and tried his best to move his neck away from Hao Zhao's outstretched left hand. The blue electric light was extremely active, and in the eyes of the governor, its existence was a reminder!

Because, just now, Hao Zhao used it to connect directly with his brain and sense his emotional activities!

"Stop!!! Stop!!! Please stop!!! My family is innocent and I did all the wrong things!!! They have been frugal over the years, have not accepted any gifts from me, and have been living on their own. , please don’t!!!”

The governor moved his body desperately while communicating with tears. The chair that Hao Zhao had welded to the ground with high-voltage current made a creaking noise with his weak body. He shook his head crazily, not wanting Hao Zhao's skin to touch his body.

The eyes of the two private guards who were knocked down by the orange cat early moved fiercely. Their bodies, which were cut off by Hao Zhao's current connection, began to tremble. They tried their best to move and stop Hao Zhao's evil deeds, but in the end they were still defeated by real physics, and they could only helplessly watch. Watching Hao Zhao blaspheme the lord they swore to protect when they became private guards.

Miserable screams and pitiful roars. Even Jing Zhe, who understood what the Governor had done to the city, was infected by the fear and embarrassment of the Governor at this moment, and gradually became unbearable.

But can she stop it?

In order to confirm that speculation, Jingzhe had no choice.

"Oh... there is an old man in your family and a child hiding in the dark. The old man is your mother and the child is your daughter. Your father is also doing the same thing as you in another city. He also discovered a certain secret that made him You hide your family.”

Hao Zhao carefully looked at the governor's sudden change of expression, smiled lightly, and gradually approached his bottom line, and forcibly dug out the information from his mind that must never be uttered:

"The secret is the magic circuits built in various mobile cities. They are not convenient and convenient services in mobile cities at all. No, it should be said that the transmission of energy and heating are just by-products. The essence of the circuit is to absorb the thoughts and lives of everyone in the entire environment to complete a certain task. thing."

"However, you have no choice but to resist. Even if you know that you who have accomplished this are eternal sinners, and not even mentioning the successful launch of the ceremony, just building a circuit full of mobile cities requires you to work hard and squeeze out money, and even directly fight against the nobles who originally fought and opposed it. Cooperate and get this done in secret.”

The orange cat smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes, but there was no smile in his pupils. He stared coldly at the governor who was still struggling after his head was grabbed by him:

"Awesome, awesome. Your family is fine, but other people's lives don't matter. With orders from above, you can set up formations and tie everyone in this city to the sacrifice platform in vain. It doesn't even matter to you. ——Because you have a 'noble' idea, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice for it."

"Okay, very good."

The orange cat gasped in admiration. Jingzhe was aroused by the coldness in the words. Then he was attracted by the sinful plan in Hao Zhao's mouth and looked at the governor blankly:

"Your superiors asked you to bury the things that harvested everyone's lives in the city, and you actually did it?!"

She looked in disbelief at this middle-aged scholar who had looked very dignified when he was in the office not long ago. Her eyes widened, her blue pupils trembling, and hoarse voices popped out of Qilin's mouth one after another:

"Beast! Beast!!!"

The governor resignedly closed his eyes and refused to look at them. The man had given up on his life and was heartbroken. He no longer cared about Hao Zhao reading his memory. He just gritted his teeth and said nothing. Even his thinking began to stagnate, trying to put everything together. The truth continues to be buried.

Then, Hao Zhao smiled even more happily. At the moment when the governor was concentrating on eliminating the critical question of who was above him, he suddenly asked a question in a soft voice that made the governor's face change drastically:

"Where did you send your family?"

The lord's eyes widened in despair, and he tried his best to clear his mind and make his thoughts go blank. However, his actions were already too late. His well-functioning mind became his biggest disadvantage. The first time he asked the question, it was in his despair. revealed everything.

The smile on Hao Zhao's face became warmer, and he still maintained the gentle tone of his voice before, speaking softly in front of the governor as if comforting:

"The most dangerous thing is the safest one? You actually put them in a village not far from here... That's right, so close that you can control the modifications you made secretly, so that the power of the formation can avoid them."

"But, but," the orange cat meaningfully admired the governor's bloodshot eyes, lamenting a certain tragedy in his eyes-breaking grief and indignation:

"If the nobles who are working with you know what you want to do and where your family is, they will definitely entertain them warmly, right? Oh...don't you have a very rich imagination...you thought of so much in an instant Story—when you were working with them, you did a lot of things to cover up for them, right?"

"No, no, no-"

Governor

He begged in a low voice with a hoarse voice and a pale face:

"Please don't, please have mercy!"

"Many workers die in your city every year, and they call death relief. There are countless housewives in your city who are separated from each other every year, and life is worse than death. They call separation and pain a rite of passage—— Mercy, mercy, you have caused countless sufferings in Anwen City and never showed mercy to anyone, why are you praying to me now?!"

Hao Zhao answered him coldly, cruelly shattering the little dignity that the city lord struggled to maintain, treating his weak persistence as nothing, and continuing to squeeze the middle-aged scholar's precarious spiritual bottom line:

"Tell me, tell me. Tell me who asked you to do it. Tell me the location and schematic diagram of the magic circuit. Otherwise, just think about your poor family and what you are thinking about now. It's in vain." The nobles of the city would never be stingy enough not to use it on them.”

"Think about it!"

The orange cat's voice suddenly dropped, and there was a strange softness in his words:

"What will they do to your family? It's almost winter now. Will they repeatedly run over your daughter with their car like they did when you covered up the fun two years ago? Will they cooperate with you like you did three years ago? They cover up the same crime, throwing your old mother into the ice and snow to starve and be whipped, and the last two skinny poor people, who are obviously rich, starve to death in the cold wind?"

"Or maybe they will be sent to the Jiaofangsi? Oh... how pitiful. On the surface, they are high-sounding, but behind the scenes, men steal and women prostitute. The aristocracy is still so 'all-inclusive', harboring filth and evil. What will happen to a girl who enters the Jiaofangsi? What will happen to an old man if he enters the Jiaofang Division—I don’t need to explain it clearly, do I?”

The governor gasped for breath, shook his head desperately, and looked at Hao Zhao pitifully, tears welling up in his eyes, and his whole face was distorted like the numb eyes of a fuzzy worker in a factory:

"I beg you, I beg you, if you want money I will tell you, if you want power I can introduce it to you, even if you want my life, you can do it directly, please don't, please... "

"So, tell it or not tell it?"

Hao Zhao lost his patience, and his golden vertical pupils stared indifferently at the city lord's violently trembling pupils. Everyone could understand the coldness in his words:

"After entering the Jiaofang Department, your daughter will be trained in everything. She won't have enough to eat, will be beaten, and abused. When she dies, she will be rolled up in a straw mat and thrown into the wilderness. She will be alive to wait for her benefactor in a few months. The first purchase, followed by a pair of jade jade pillows for thousands of people, a bit of red lips for thousands of people, life is worse than death, if you have children, you will be aborted, if you are sick, you will be thrown away to die, and you will be relegated to a lowly status for the rest of your life. Being stabbed in the spine.”

His speaking speed became faster and faster, and his voice became colder and colder. The cruel image was stripped out of cocoons and placed in front of the governor. The violent coldness destroyed all the insincerity:

"Don't worry about whether someone will save you. After the nobles know about this, the people behind you will not let you go, and other people from aristocratic families will not let you go. Your daughter living in Jiaofangsi will become a natural Target, think carefully about what happened to the female family members of those officials who had their homes confiscated and thrown into the Jiaofangsi after the struggle failed!"

"Oh~~" Hao Zhao murmured mockingly, and the electric light on his hands touching the temples of the city lord continued: "You actually went to Jiaofangsi to enjoy their compassion and service, and even wrote poems about those days and gave them to friends. ?”

"You are quite good at playing, Mr. Governor, but... you know better than yourself what will happen to these poor people from the Jiaofang Department in the end, right?"

"And your mother... oh~ how pitiful. When your father failed to stand up and was imprisoned, she had to endure all kinds of hardships to raise you. It took her three years of hard work just to make you grow up. Fortunately, your father followed you. The guy relapsed again, giving him a chance to come back."

Hao Zhao sings a poem that tells the most profound memory in the memory of the governor. During the hellish time when he fell from a scholarly family to a guilty home and no one wanted to contact him for financial aid, the gentle and virtuous beauty had to leave home for the sake of her children. Washing and sewing, making bottles and bottles, killing the elegant and noble self bit by bit, turning into a vulgar person who cares about everything and is unwilling to give in.

"What a great mother. Later, your father came out of prison and wanted to take you mother and son back to the capital to live a happy life again. But she was worried about the coming of another storm, so she took you to live in secret, taking care of you and educating you with her own hands. , so that you are rich in knowledge and in good health - your frail body can survive until now in a lot of hard work, your success is at least half that of your mother."

The red-gold eyes burst out with terrifying ferocity. The orange cat stared at this man who values ​​his family more than anything else, and said the murderous words one by one:

"After the nobles know the news, what will happen to this respectable man? At a very old age, he watches his granddaughter suffer humiliation, and she can do nothing. She even has to continue to starch for the rest of her life for the clothes of a group of prostitutes... …Oh~~I saw it…”

He smiled and narrowed his eyes: "The last thing you want to think about in your life is the days when your mother was groveling and begging for help. People who do anything for power also have weaknesses~"

"Yan, Yanhuang."

As if spitting life out of his mouth, and shattering his ideals, perseverance, personality and dignity, the Governor's blank eyes lost their luster, and he desperately said the most unspeakable news.

"Go on."

The orange cat grabbed his head and waited for further instructions.

"It's an order given by Emperor Yan using his palace guards! I'm an official, I can't help but obey!

I have no idea!I also want to be a good person!The interests of those nobles have been harmed by me. If Emperor Yan does not support me, the lives of my whole family will be...! "

"Please! Please! They are all innocent! They have nothing to do with me! It was Emperor Yan who asked me to do such a thing! I didn't want to either! I just wanted to be a good official at the beginning! I just wanted to Be a good official! But, but I can’t help it!!!”

When a hole breaks in the dam, the water will always find an opportunity to gush out. As the first bottom line is breached, and under tremendous mental pressure, the Governor hopelessly confesses all the information, regardless of the unspoken rules that Dayan officials have always maintained. The broken man told all the news.

Chapter 293 Magnetic Field Lock·City Level (End) (4K)

"I don't know what the magic circle is all about. I can only analyze it from some familiar institutions and find out that it has the characteristics of large range, absorbing life, and absorbing spirit. As for whether it is true or not, I don't even dare to ask! His Majesty the Emperor Yan The personal guards of the palace are not something I can compete with. Even if, even if I recognize some of them, I don’t dare to say anything!!”

The shrill screams of the city lord were still in his ears. Jingzhe walked out of the room early and waited outside the temporary interrogation room in a daze. He closed his eyes and didn't even think about looking at the empty corridor.

It’s not clear what else the city lord can explain to Jingzhe, but she already knows the most important puzzle piece and has put together every piece of the fog of her ideal—and then the fog breaks, and the bloody truth underneath tells her that her self-righteous efforts to save her are in vain. Her ability to realize even half of her ideal vision was due to the small amount of comfort given to her by the mastermind behind the scenes to achieve her goal.

It's disgusting.

She didn't know whether she was cursing herself or the superior Yan Emperor. She felt so sad that she didn't even have the courage to leave the illusion:
