Chapter 502 Detours
Mythical creatures are myths, but not myths themselves.

Newcomers will be confused by myths, but veterans will look at the gap between myths and self-awareness more flatly. They will pursue the recognition of myths, more for that power.

In fact, many "myths themselves" themselves do not understand the origin of the myths and know the stories of the myths. There are specialized consultants who provide various consulting services. As long as the road is not too narrow, you will not encounter a dead end.

There are too many versions of the myth itself, many of which are self-contradictory, some cannot be investigated at all, some characters have a hand in several regional myths, and some priesthoods are occupied by different existences at the same time. Due to the fact that there are too many versions and conflicts in the standard answer, the final right of interpretation is particularly important.

Only the four spirits have all the "names of gods" and specific concepts, as well as the most "authoritative" interpretation of myths.

Compiling and promoting myths and shaping new mythical creatures is a job in itself. Among the six cities in the central region, the main responsibility for this job is Beishi City. The literary and artistic creators of the new era especially prefer various mythological stories.

Even, they will compile a mythical creature for a certain need. Even if it takes decades, centuries or even generations.

But if the conditions are met, no one will give up a mythical creature that has already taken shape.

As soon as the frightening myth of "Atel's Head Collector" came out, the people of Atel would probably protest or even attack Zheng Li. There is no news from Zheng Li's side, which undoubtedly shows that Beishi City has no propaganda at all.

But paper can't hold fire, and things that exist and are run will be leaked sooner or later. Now that the "officials" are pushing this thing, it undoubtedly shows its necessity.

Zheng Lidu wondered if there were a few "collectors" hiding in the shadows outside the embassy last night, ready to hunt.

After obtaining the "treasure", Zheng Li's original longing for the myth has long since disappeared, and he regards it as an effective and powerful tool like a veteran.

In fact, in the eyes of many high-level combat powers, this is a "profession", a combat power gift package with many professional skills.

"Otherwise, I am also whole"

Mythology is very difficult. Now that someone has occupied the position, don't even think about it, but quasi-mythology is not difficult. Since Zheng Li's announcement has been responded to, the possibility of obtaining it exists.

But in the end, Zheng Li shook his head.

"It's too targeted, it's not worth paying for it"

Zheng Li doesn't like the Aters. Humans don't like the Aters, but they don't entrust their first myth to this targeted function, and the myths will interfere with each other.

".But you can train one in the team. Ask a small group to see who is interested. Although it's a bit weak, it's pretty good as a part-time job."

Quasi-myths and myths that are unattainable in the eyes of others are tools of choice in Zheng Li's eyes.

After finishing the communication with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zheng Li was not in a hurry to return to his headquarters on the Fourth Ring Road. An excellent employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have enough patience to wait for the development of the situation and the ferment of the situation. Zheng Li was going to take another look. The reaction of the Atel people, by the way, collect information.

If it was just an ordinary task, he might stop here, but when it comes to Shi Jing, Zheng Li himself has the motivation to continue to investigate.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned around and chose to go to the "SAR", the site of the Iron Man, the SAR where Atel is an honorary human being.

"The reaction of the Atel people is too strange, maybe they have news"

After so many years, Zheng Li hadn't been to that area, and normal people wouldn't just hang out there. Veterans from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came here to perform tasks, and they were all two-person investigation teams.

"I remember that there was a publicity before here. It was going to be a tourist city, and a technology city. By the way, Iron and Steel Amusement Park, is that the name?"

Zheng Li looked it up on the Internet, but there was no obvious information. He used his excessive memory as a key word to squeeze out some things.

"Waiting for the bus at No. 761 outside the third ring road, there is a trip every hour. Huh, no documents are required? Free entry and exit, this is different from the special zone in my impression."

The Iron Man Special Zone in Zheng Li's memory is still a propaganda in textbooks, TV, and the Internet, a gift for "returners".

Tall and beautiful buildings, well-dressed Iron Man residents, technological creations from the outside world, shopping malls and factories with various foreign goods, and exotic playgrounds.

But Zheng Li's search encountered difficulties. There was too little information, and there was no feedback at all, as if everyone deliberately forgot about this area.

So, Zheng Li called another phone number, a paid intelligence company.

Ten minutes later, he had a detailed route map, mini-map, and a brief summary of the actual situation.

That is a regional existence, on the periphery of the third ring, the inner city of the fourth ring, and the lower left direction of Shiqian City.

It is a special area marked empty on the map, an unnamed urban area that no one cares about. Yes, this is also an unnamed area, and it is also the residence of the Returnist Iron Man.

It is already an unspoken rule for the big cities of mankind to give the returning iron men a place to live in. However, each region has its own history, and the development in reality is naturally different from the one in the textbook.

Generally speaking, the Iron Man Special Zone itself is a benign asset. Iron men who keep returning will bring technology and intelligence, and their connections in the past can become business channels. The production industry and tourism developed with it as the core have great potential.

But Shi Qiancheng is different, his history is too short.

This thing is also about the scale effect. After the old gathering places are established, even if the returnists want to escape and "return", they will give priority to choosing larger and safer population gathering places.

Shiqiancheng, with its short history, has not experienced a few "big defections", missed the demographic dividend, and the number of iron men who chose to vote was not many, and the development has taken a detour.

The "amusement park" and "science and technology city" projects that imitated other cities were all messed up and became unfinished projects.

However, the special zone that gives them "autonomous rights" has become an unspoken rule of human society. This unfinished urban area naturally makes more iron men choose to leave, but the land is still an autonomous region that cannot be recovered.

The bad status quo has missed several development opportunities in a row. The number of iron men in Shiqian City is really small, which makes governance and order become empty talk. When a region lacks order, a new order will naturally emerge. Outsiders and gangs become the leader there. The mainstream, which eventually turned it into one of those no-name zones where fish and snakes mingled.

However, according to the law, most of the local subway residents live there, and there are some things that cannot be avoided by them, such as the technology "brought over" and the rare materials smuggled in, which is a rigid requirement for urban development needs.

But the poor public security and environment in that area made the new iron men less and less, and it became more and more abnormal. After the Atel people mixed in a large number of spies and caused several vicious incidents, the situation became even more serious. subtle.

"Tsk, it's actually a site that the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't care about."

Nominally and legally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no jurisdiction over that area, and the local supervisors are no longer the few iron men, but the locals will not provoke the iron men. It is the darkness under the lights.

At this moment, Zheng Li was hesitant to continue the investigation. It was just "out of jurisdiction", and Zheng Li could guess how many cultists, gangsters, wanted criminals, and foreign spies there were.

But then, he smiled.

"The more messy it is, the more likely it is to get what I want."
