The Final Story of Miss Weird
Page 87
After all, Luo Ling's appearance was just a minor episode. What was more important was the aftermath of the disaster in Jiangcheng County.
Luo Ling also followed Cen Xiangyun back. Along the way, this beautiful woman, who was known for her heroic and cold character in movies and TV shows, kept pestering Luo Ling like a nympho, trying to win back the heart of this little devil.
There was no way. She was not the company's HR, and the conditions she could offer were only those mentioned before. Even if she added a few more, it would definitely not be as much as the other two organizations.
The year-end bonus that was about to arrive just flew away like this...
Next to the burning fireplace, a hunchbacked old man sat on the sofa, leaning on his cane with both hands.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the wrinkles on his face drowned out his expression, leaving only the shadow cast by the firelight.
"Failed..."
There was no sign of frustration, he just narrated calmly.
The old man raised his head slightly and looked at the clock on the fireplace.
The clock that used to be so vivid now seemed to have lost its soul and couldn't even open its eyes.
The bone needle rotating in the dial is still fulfilling its responsibilities as always, but it no longer has the breath of "life".
It no longer makes the lovely sound of telling time as it did in the past.
"It's a pity that this 'artwork' given by the artist has lost the nourishment of its owner's flesh and blood and has become just an ordinary watch."
The old man sighed, and it sounded as if he regretted the death of the artist and scientist more than anything else.
"Philosopher, even you couldn't save him?"
A clear and childish voice was heard, and a figure that clearly looked like a young child appeared on the sofa next to the philosopher.
He looked to be only five or six years old, but his expression was solemn and dignified, and he wore a monocle similar to an artist's. He even wore a very elegant bachelor's gown, but it was a size too small.
Apart from the appearance, this is just a smaller version of an old scholar.
It is obvious that this is not a child of just a few years old, and his appearance is due to some kind of "price".
"Yes, educator, I failed to stop the other party."
The philosopher did not deny it, but after a slight hesitation, he added,
"I dare not stop it."
"Ok?"
The educator raised an eyebrow.
To the Pioneers, artists and scientists mean something completely different than performers. If conditions permit, the three power holders will personally save their lives.
It is precisely because of this that the two of them have been able to repeatedly escape the pursuit of "the Company".
It’s a pity that the artist died in the realm of nothingness, a forbidden area that even the weird ones dare not set foot in easily, so the three beings naturally dare not set foot in it either.
But the scientist finally managed to escape from the realm of nothingness, but even so, he was still... dead?
"A 'high-risk and weird' attack, in the area covered by His power, a mere incarnation will only become the opponent's nutrition." The philosopher laughed softly, "If it was in the area covered by my power, He might not be able to defeat me, but... that's all."
Although he had caused the incarnations in Jiangcheng County to collapse, he still retained some perception.
Therefore, the philosopher knew the news of the demise of "Kuppeteer" even earlier than the company did.
"However, since such a serious accident happened there, it would be a good idea to distract the company's attention."
The educator breathed a sigh of relief. In recent days, the pressure from the "company" on the "pioneer" has been quite heavy. The layout is imminent and no mistakes can be made.
Although the positions of artists and scientists are freed up at this time, it will have some impact on the layout...but only some.
"It won't disperse. The Company knows the importance of balancing priorities and will not give up supervision of Victoria." The philosopher stared at the fireplace, as if he wanted to see something in the firelight. "This is... the Place of Origin, the beginning of all the changes.
"The mysterious seventh path in the legend is the 'original path' from which the six paths were born. Its secret is hidden here.
"Although the company was blinded by vanity, it was also aware of the importance of Victoria."
The pioneers' layout for "Victoria" is for the original path, to...end this world that has fallen into "chaos".
The world used to be normal, with normal flow of time and normal distribution of space. Even if something strange happened, even if a "taboo" came into the world, it still did not completely affect the operation of the world.
But until...
A being whose true name is unknown exerts His power over the entire world.
From then on, from the beginning of the 19th century to the 22nd century, a total of thirty "boundaries" were divided in more than 300 years. The different "boundaries" were separated by the "realm of nothingness", and the world has since fallen into unprecedented "chaos".
This mysterious existence possesses the seventh path that has never been mastered by humans or monsters. It is also the original path and the soil for the birth of all paths.
No one knows whether He does this to change something, destroy something, or save something.
But some people know that this "chaos" must end.
Even if the "price" to be paid is everyone in the world.
The above is the "Pioneer's" explanation of "boundaries" and "chaos", and the reason why the "Pioneer" was established.
Other forces may disagree with the statement that "mysterious existence leads to the birth of boundaries and chaos", and have questioned the existence of the "Seventh Path", or even believed that it is completely wrong, but the "Pioneers" firmly believe that this is the truth of the world.
To this end, the pioneers have been working tirelessly, willing to associate with the weird and improve their own strength at all "costs".
Ultimately, all boundaries were annihilated, and the three hundred years of chaos in this world completely disappeared.
Even if they did so, all human beings in the world...except for the "Pioneers" might be completely destroyed.
But it doesn’t matter, the “pioneers” have left enough fire for the future of mankind.
Philosopher, educator, historian...
Artist, scientist, performer...
The "pioneers" transform themselves into mentors of the new humans and lead the way for the new world.
And they are the pioneers of the new world.
This is the true meaning of "pioneer".
"But is it really a good idea to focus all attention on Victoria?" the educator asked softly, holding his chin.
"...It's not good, but we can't always ask for the best in everything." The philosopher shook his head, his eyes drifting into the distance, and then slowly said, "However, the events in Jiangcheng County did give me some inspiration.
"Perhaps, we who hold the power can also create a...hatching ground that was originally only for the weird?"
Hearing this, the educator's expression became a little more serious. The philosopher's words aroused his interest.
"My 'traveler', your 'death', the historian's 'unsung'," the philosopher stretched out his hand and danced rhythmically, and every rise and fall seemed to touch a certain position, "like a net, weaving a hatchery that covers the entire 'Victoria'.
“Welcome His return, and then...return all paths to their beginnings.”
When his fingertips finally fell, a flash of annihilation of nothingness passed by.
......
Jiangcheng County, a few days later.
When the final investigation was completed, the disaster in Jiangcheng County was finally settled.
The cause of this incident is still unclear. The current speculation is that the 49th person in the original strange sequence, "Puppet Rumor" of "Silence", was betrayed by his apostle "White Witch" and was successfully ambushed by the "White Witch" during his slumber.
The battle ended with the complete demise of "Kume Ya", and the "White Witch" successfully usurped his power.
In the end, the "White Witch" used the 400,000 civilians in Jiangcheng County as a carnival at the end of the disaster, and the 49th place in the succession sequence was strange.
...Some people also suggested that the White Witch's move was a sacrifice. There is always a price to pay for trading with the weird. These 400,000 civilians are likely the price of succeeding the weird sequence.
Shortly afterwards, the company released details of the incident, including the sequence being replaced, which caused an uproar as expected.
Regardless of the boundary, after hearing the news, some awakened people began to have some thoughts.
Countless awakened people secretly deduced this incident and tried to replicate this incredible miracle.
After all, mastering all the power and authority of a dangerous and strange person is an irresistible temptation for most awakened people.
Of course, only a small number of people dare to pay the price to carry it out.
As the center of the storm of the whole incident, the mysterious "White Witch" has been listed on the company's wanted list, ranking sixth in the S-level.
The bounty for being captured alive is ten chances to open the company's secret stash, and you can choose an additional "forbidden" ritual vessel. You can also get the company's black card, which can directly call on all the current liquid funds of the company.
The bounty for killing someone is all the holy relics and the chance to process them, whether it is to make them into sacrificial vessels or holy medicines. Black cards are of course indispensable, but there are only three chances to hide them.
In addition, providing even a little information can give you a chance to find a secret treasure, depending on the amount and value.
The opportunity to obtain the secret treasure is quite rare. You should know that with the help of her elders, Cen Xiangyun only needs to pay 10% of her points, but she has to spend a whole year's salary plus the year-end bonus to barely get it.
In fact, this kind of reward is beyond the standard. After all, all S-level criminals have numerous cases on their hands, and those who don’t have a thousand or eight hundred are not worthy of being included.
The White Witch has only one crime.
——"Massacre of 400,000 civilians"
Luo Ling looked at the information that Cen Xiangyun handed to him and was silent for a while.
I feel like I'm pretty valuable. Should I be happy or sad?
As for the previous description and speculation of the Jiangcheng County incident, Luo Ling could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Even Elsa doesn't know about her sister's existence. Only the "White Witch" herself knows the whole truth of this matter.
Let the truth be lost in the undercurrent.
However, the Jiangcheng County incident still had some small impact, and the Qingshan Mental Hospital communication group was almost torn apart.
Although only a few members of the communication group are locals, such as Officer Liu, An Yu, and Ji Shinian, the others are helpers that Ji Shinian brought in from other places.
Otherwise, how could such a small county like Jiangcheng have so many awakened people?
But...after all, they lived here for quite a long time, and after Jiangcheng County was destroyed and the backbone Ji Shinian withdrew, they basically disbanded.
Ji Shinian’s abilities are now disabled, and coupled with his previous injuries, he has difficulty taking care of himself, so he is temporarily living with his ex-wife Lu Fangling.
Liu Songyi chose to stay in Jiangcheng County to continue the aftermath. After all, he was the police officer in charge here...although Jiangcheng County is now deserted.
Because of her extremely valuable "Order" path ability, An Yu was noticed by the "Destiny Society" and was directly incorporated into the organization. The confusing and terrible code name "Cyber Girl" was also changed to "Southern Cross".
...It seems that everyone in this organization uses constellations as code names.
However, the "truth" of the "White Witch" left her with a deep shadow, even more than Baiyan Village, which was also the reason why Luo Ling felt sorry for her...
There was no need to say much about Elsa. Although she didn't say anything in the communication group, she would follow Luo Ling wherever he went.
The other members of the communication group either returned to their own cities or joined the "company" or other organizations.
At this point, the former Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital communication group has been officially disbanded.
Apart from these trivial matters that have little to do with him, Luo Ling is more concerned about what happens next.
Cen Xiangyun's persuasion and persuasion did not have much effect, but Luo Ling's own abilities attracted the company's attention.
Being able to walk directly in the world of nothingness, no matter which force it is, dare to underestimate this ability.
The Realm of Nothingness is a blind spot for all current forces. No one knows what is inside, let alone understand its essence.
Luo Ling's ability made the world of nothingness no longer impossible to conquer, and its mysterious veil was finally lifted a little.
The company headquarters attached great importance to this and issued a direct order. Luo Ling's file was directly transferred to the headquarters.
As for the other two forces, the "Society of Fate" and the "Fire Granter", they were also unwilling to give up.
Although compared with large companies, these two forces are much weaker.
But in fact, the weak ones just have fewer distribution boundaries, but within some boundaries, they can even compete with each other.
After the three parties negotiated...
Plan to conduct a joint interview with Luo Ling.
"Sure enough, he is a cunning capitalist..."
He didn't give Luo Ling any chance to bargain for the price and put it directly on the table.
However, Luo Ling doesn’t really care about the amount of salary. What she cares more about is which party can help her better pursue the truth of the world.
And...the secrets hidden in her.
However, the interview location was not in Jiangcheng County, but in a place called "Victoria".
