Right on Target - Chapter 159
The ghost car bird flies more and more slowly, and after a while, the mountain hangs upside down, the night sky is flat under the feet, and the world is completely turned upside down.
Xie Zhenshu looked straight ahead and said, “Two.”
The moon is still the same moon, but the parking area has suddenly changed into two. The one above the head looks the same as before, but the one in front of me is not only full of voices, but also the flashing advertising lights can be seen.
Xiao Su fell off the ground, and the night sky rippled under her feet. It said: “Reflection is the plot retrospective of time-limited hunting. The experiment needs to save these records so that the experimental targets can be compared and analyzed. The cross star is my rewind mark. We can’t enter the present, but we can go back to the past. Let’s go , sir, go in and look for the keyhole.”
Xie Zhenshu has seen countless strange sights along the way from the south line to the north line, but he has never seen such a spectacle. He and Xiao Su walked straight into the parking area, and the time in the area was indeed running backwards, and the crowd was rushing backwards.
Xiao Su flicked her hind leg and said in great distress: “My memory is so bad that I forgot that the ending is always rainy and the ground is full of dirty water.”
The cat hates water, and it puts its tail up high, wishing it could walk on tiptoes. But the rain is flowing upwards, even if it is strong and vigorous, it can’t escape the fate of being wet. Seeing that its belly was about to get wet, the whole cat suddenly soared into the air, and was hugged back by Xie Zhenshu.
The officer said: “In front?”
Xiao Su held up her four paws, feeling relieved, and regardless of the water she was still soaking in, she paused and said, “Go there, there are many people there. We have to find Yan Junxun, the key is on him.”
Xie Zhenshu stretched his long legs, passed the backing pedestrians, and walked towards the chimney factory behind the block.
The time-limited hunting will stop at the moment of Yan Junxun’s death, and then reset, so the plot they return to should also be pushed forward from the moment of Yan Junxun’s death, but Xie Zhenshu did not directly participate in the mooring area The plot, so he can’t judge which round of time-limited hunting is now based on what he has seen and heard on the road.
Xiao Su said: “I don’t have enough authority to specify the reflection of the plot, so here is random. But there will be a siren in a while. If the siren blew for three minutes, this is the last time-limited hunting. If the siren only blew One minute, that’s the last time-limited hunt.”
After he finished speaking, he felt his mouth burning, but there was no other way. Su Heting could no longer remember the exact number of hunts, so he could only rely on the degree of destruction of the city and some small details to push it.
Most of the passers-by looked terrified, and fled in the streets in embarrassment, holding their heads on their waists. The windows facing the street were all smashed, and Xie Zhenshu saw some fallen bodies through the bead-like rain.
“! Shots fired!”
Xie Zhenshu silently repeated the sentence and said, “There is a riot.”
Xiao Su wanted to scratch her paws, but she hated the rain, said “hmm” twice, and said: “The overall plot background of hunting is the continuation of the Civil War, pretending that Doomsday and war weapons never appeared. The mooring area is quite special. It has always been a service station for the northern line transport ships during the war, and it belongs to the area to be developed within the alliance. Artemis chose this place as the hunting stage after many calculations. It believes that post-war stagnation The illegal organizations in the area will fight against the Black Panthers, and regard the mooring area as the center of the game between the two sides. The development of the plot will be more exciting here, and it will be better to create various vicious murders, so there is the situation you see now.”
In fact, Artemis was predictable. The illegal organization after the war was really strong. Relying on the arms resold in the early days, it turned into the Justice League of the New World. Now no one dares to mention their past.
Xiao Su didn’t know the details of where he lived. He looked up at the moon for a while, feeling quite emotional: “Although I hate Artemis, it’s very strange, and it’s completely different from those main gods. Occasionally, I I also think about why it insists on experimenting. The only information left in my head is that it is not as human as I thought it was, it is more…”
It contemplated for a while, but couldn’t think of any suitable adjectives, so it hooked the cuffs of the Xie Pillow Book, threw the topic elsewhere, and said, “The siren is about to sound!”
After finishing speaking, the piercing siren really sounded ahead. Xie Zhenshu is very sensitive to time, as soon as the siren stopped, he said, “Three minutes.”
Xiao Su cheered up and said: “We are lucky, it’s the last time!”
The information it stores is almost overflowing, and there is not much space left for the hunting plot. If you are unlucky and turn to an unfamiliar reincarnation, it will even be difficult to find the specific location of Yan Junxun.
Xiao Su said: “I participated in this round of hunting. At that time, the signal tracking was broken at the location of the chimney coke plant. Sir, go to the chimney, and Yan Junxun is there.”
The rain changed from slow to rapid, and the water droplets hung upwards. Everyone was retreating, only Xie Zhenshu was in a forward posture. Not only that, but the shattered window panes reformed as he passed, and the entire city was rewinding at speed.
The chimney is the landmark building here, as long as you bypass the insect-like crowded vehicles and walk in the direction of the torch, you can’t go wrong. There was a large deserted steel factory on the way, and when they arrived near the chimney, Xie Zhenshu’s shirt was wet from the rain.
Xiao Su didn’t care about shaking her hair, and when she saw the outline of the coke plant, she immediately said, “It’s there! There’s a shelter down here, and we need to enter the pipeline below.”
The entrance to the refuge was hidden. When they arrived, there were obvious signs of many people passing by the door. Xie Zhenshu moved his feet away, glanced down at the debris on the ground, and said, “There are professional people chasing Yan Junxun.”
Xiao Su said: “I stopped here when I got here, and the rest of the plot is all guesswork.”
Xie Zhenshu thought about it for a while, and found the doubt. He should have been there in the last hunt, but he participated indirectly in the prison. He has a complete memory and remembers the number of reincarnations very clearly. He said, “It’s 7-004. They went to the prison to find information about 7-001.”
This group of people caused a lot of trouble for 7-001, and the plot was gradually intensified. Before they entered, the situation in District 14 hadn’t reached this level of chaos.
Xiao Su hung her body steady and said, “I didn’t design this refuge, it gets more and more complicated as you go down.”
Xie Zhenshu said: “There are traces.”
The officer walked down the trail, the pipe behind the entrance was dark and damp, he walked very fast, and after a while, he could hear the sound of some kind of timer.
Xiao Su said: “It’s the countdown to Yan Junxun’s death, it’s turning back.”
After walking for a while, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the depths.
Xie Zhenshu said: “The traces have become two.”
Xiao Su said: “That’s right, we are behind in time, and the 7-004 at this location has not found Yan Junxun yet, but they have already met at the end, so there are two traces, one belongs to Yan Junxun, and the other is 7-004.” -The detour that 004 has gone through, we have to choose the second officer.”
It trusts Xie Zhenshu with all its heart, as if the chief will never make mistakes. This trust has not been broken since it appeared, and it can be traced back to every point of Su Heting’s plan – he believes that Xie Zhenshu can make the right decision. Choice, like he believes he can unlock all locks.
Xie Zhenshu touched the wet pipe wall with his fingertips, and the marks were different. He was familiar with the Black Panther’s equipment. The sniper rifle box had long and deep scratches inside the narrow pipe. This was because the Panther never used inferior products, and their gun case was much harder than the old old pipe.
Xie Zhenshu said: “Go down.”
He put Xiao Su on his shoulder, held the horizontal bar of the pipe with one hand, and jumped from the turning point. After landing, I stepped on a lot of water. The strange thing is that there is no rain here, but the water is flowing upwards.
Xiao Su said, “I know, it’s floods and landslides.”
Xie Zhenshu said: “Flood?”
Xiao Su put her paws on the top of Xie Zhenshu’s head, turned her body up, smelled the top of the pipe, and said, “If Jun Yan dies, this round of plot will be over, but just like a story must have an ending, Al Themis will use the terrain to create some unreasonable disasters, so that everyone involved will have a sloppy ending. You see, the water is coming from above, so I guess this round ends with floods rushing through the pipes, All end together.”
Xie Zhenshu took out the lighter in his pocket, and polished it against the wall, and sure enough, he saw a collapsed crack that was being restored.
This can also be regarded as a protection mechanism, preventing people like 7-004 from touching Yan Junxun’s body, Artemis can be said to have covered everything.
But the refuge is surprisingly large, and the tunnels that Yan Junxun passes through are particularly tricky. Some places can only allow one person to pass through. Xie Zhenshu lifted Xiao Su above his head. Fortunately, Xiao Su was always thinking on the road and didn’t care too much about himself. Strange pose.
The water can reach a person’s calf, making the whole pipeline more like a sewer. Xie Zhenshu was wading forward, and there was a deep noise echoing in the pipeline, so he didn’t pay much attention to the sound of the timer just now. But Xiao Su’s ears were pricked up, listening intently to the sound of the timer.
The second sound is rhythmic, it was nothing at first, but gradually, Xiao Su heard something weird, the timer sound was upside down and chaotic, and there was a feeling of speeding up.
At this time, Xie Zhenshu said: “The water level is floating up and down.”
The water level will only drop when time goes backwards, and floating up and down means that time is also advancing and retreating in disorder.
Xiao Su said: “It’s not good, I’m afraid Hephaestus is chasing you.”
They entered the reflection by the ghost car bird. According to Su Heting’s design, the ghost car bird is like the hand ring of the blower. It will keep moving forward under the only instruction, but it can only do this one thing. Once blocked, it will affect The direction of time in the reflection.
Xie Zhenshu supports the top of the downward pressure, and speeds up the pace as the water level rises. The time was completely confused, the water on the wall flowed up and down for a while, and the entire pipe was filled with repeated gunshots.
Xiao Su stood up against the top, even exerting force on her tail, and said, “It’s really his father’s weight!”
If this place collapses, Xie Zhenshu will not be able to get out!
In desperation, Xiao Su suddenly made a plan. He bumped his head against the wall a few times, causing an echo. It said: “Yan Junxun is afraid of noise, if you bother him with your voice, he will be disturbed!”
Yan Junxun has been waiting online for a long time, because of the endless operation of the intracranial chip, he is extremely sensitive to sound. The beating of time allows him to appear anywhere on the road, and as the protagonist of the plot, his every move can affect the ending. Although the plot in the reflection is something that has already happened, no one knows whether it will change after it is affected. After all, Yan Junxun’s intracranial chip also records data, and it is updated at any time. It is also affecting Yan Junxun—to put it simply, the reason why Su Heting went to great lengths to enter the reflection is precisely because of this. He believes that what happened in the past can change what is happening now. This is the origin of Su Heting’s version of the keyhole. He is Chong To interfere with Yan Jun’s search.
The percussion sounds are played out of order at random times, piercing through the two extremes of destruction and restoration, gradually turning into a continuous strange tone, like a sharp knife cutting through the interlaced curtains.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
—The water level stood still for a moment, as if someone had noticed the sound and was wondering where it came from.
