Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 733 Old Acquaintance
For the past few days, the "Emperor" has been staying in the sewer, and his intuition tells him that the end of the maze must lead to some unknown place.

And now, he's finally mapped the changes in the underground waterway.

The holographic projection screen appeared in front of his eyes, and he observed that every once in a while, the structure of the water would change accordingly, which is why ordinary people would never be able to get out of the maze once they strayed into it.

Every road here looks the same. Human eyes and non-military-grade prosthetic eyes can't observe the changes in the maze at all, and they will only get lost here until they walk into the tree hole in the center of the maze.

Where he is now is marked Area B2, with a large unexplored area ahead.

Intuition told him that he was getting closer and closer to his destination.

Because the maze not only changes, but also seems to have autonomous consciousness, which also makes it extremely difficult to explore area B. The maze's consciousness seems to be trying to prevent him from passing through area B to the other side.

"It's almost there."

This is not a lonely exploration, the voice in his head reminds him from time to time.

The road ahead has become narrow and bumpy.

Barbed plants are paved on the road ahead, and every corner is blocked by cobweb-like thorns. Anyone who sees this scene will instinctively choose to stay away from this dangerous area, but the "Emperor" stepped on the barbed Above, let yourself pass through the passages blocked by thorns.

The more rugged the road ahead, the more it proves that he is getting closer to the finish line.

He didn't know when the maze was built, nor where the end of the road led, but according to the map of the operating system, he was far away from the first district and appeared outside the first district. In the deep sea, the big map can no longer serve as a reference.

The concept of space became extremely vague, and every time he took a step forward, the coordinates of his body might shift.

Prompted by the voice, the "Emperor" passed through the last thorny field.

In fact, it could hardly be called a road, because he found a way among the barbs, thorns, and piranhas that kept attacking him.

At the end of that road, statues of two ancient trees stand beneath grand steps.

And the map also showed his current position - the deep sea.

He is located in the deep sea in the first zone, reaching a height that only submarines can reach. The whole world is shrouded in darkness, and the dome of the labyrinth is gone. He turns on the lighting equipment of the prosthetic body and looks up. I vaguely saw a huge monster flashing past above the "sky".

In the depths of the endless darkness, there seemed to be eyes peeping at him.

The "Emperor" went all the way up the stairs, and finally there was a light source inside the temple.

The light source comes from the retro wall lamp on the wall, and incredible flames are burning inside. Even if no fuel is placed, these flames seem to be able to burn forever.

At the end of this road, there is an empty garden.

Compared with the mazes full of thorns and piranhas, the garden looked pleasing to the eye, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Surrounded by flowers is a giant bright red flower that beats like a heart. Its appearance is highly similar to the core of the man-eating plant that the "Emperor" found in the maze, but at this moment the "heart" seems to have a sacred feeling.

"Welcome."

A slender figure is surrounded by colorful petals, she seems to have known the arrival of the "Emperor", but she did not turn around, but took good care of these flowers.

The "Emperor" didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he actually felt the emotions from plants.

These flowers seem to express a "happy" mood.

All this can only be described as weird.

He was ready to fight. At the end of the rugged labyrinth, there should never be a garden and a woman who was concentrating on taking care of the flowers in the garden.

A weak woman would definitely not be able to reach such a place, and the other party's performance also confirmed his guess.

Facing the gravity several times higher than before, her actions were not affected in any way, and she was still watering the flowers calmly.

He walked up to the woman.

"I'm going through this garden."

The "Emperor" revealed his purpose to the other party.

"Did that person in your head tell you?"

The woman still said without looking back, her tone was as soft as a chat.

Hearing this, the "Emperor" suddenly froze.

Before that, no one knew this secret, not even the company, the family, and the council. From the moment they met, he had a strange feeling. Even if he was silent, this woman seemed to be able to see through him. The deepest secret of the heart.

"My name is Trianne, and I'm a botanist."

The woman seemed to see through his thoughts again, and said, "Also, you can't pass through here to reach the opposite room."

The "Emperor" immediately launched an attack, leaving no chance for the other party to continue talking.

However, in the next moment, all his movements stopped.

He clearly saw a crack in the statue of the ancient tree next to the stairs under the influence of gravity, and what appeared in front of him was the stairs leading to the temple.

There is still a dark space above the head, but this time the giant shadow swimming in the "sky" stopped, it seemed to have noticed the existence of the "Emperor", watching the tiny human beings below from high above, and this time, He also finally saw the appearance of the giant shadow.

A fish floating in the air.

It is so huge that it can cover a block, and the airship of the coalition government is as big as a toy in front of it.

In addition to the giant shadow, "Emperor" also noticed other creatures.

Or more precisely, their eyes.

They lurk in the dark depths, but the size of their eyes is enough to imagine their huge size. The existence of these creatures makes the entire sky narrow and crowded.

He quickly understood his situation.

The space jumped again.

Just like the maze and the first time he saw the plant in the center of the maze, whenever he had the idea of ​​"attack" in his mind and turned it into an actual action, he would appear elsewhere, but until Now, he has not figured out the conditions for triggering the space transfer.

In the past few days, he has launched a total of 12 challenges to the center of the maze, and was eventually teleported to other areas of the maze without exception.

Fortunately, he didn't go very far this time.

Two minutes is enough for him to return to the garden and face the woman who claims to be a botanist again. At least compared with the plants in the center of the maze, Trian still has the possibility of communication.

"You really don't know how to give up."

This time, as soon as the "Emperor" approached the garden, Trian's ethereal voice came from inside, "I have given you more than one chance to leave, and you know what you will encounter."

He saw Trianne put down the kettle and face him.

"Then you should know my answer too."

While speaking, the "Emperor" carefully observed the garden, trying to see the flaws.

The stronger the ability, the harsher the triggering conditions. These plants must have transported him to another place through some means. That is to say, as long as he finds the common ground between the garden and the tree pit, he will be able to decipher this strange ability. secret.

"Let's go back."

Trian patiently persuaded the other party again, "At least with the current you, it's not enough to touch the place behind me."

She stared at the "Emperor" and read into his heart.

"Thinking 'How will you know if you don't try?' will only kill you."

Trianne sighed, "Since the last time we met, you have been walking in the same place. In the field of psionic energy, you have been unable to find a way to become stronger, so you began to seek other paths. Accept Prosthetic body, transform your body until you become what you are now... Is this her promise to you?"

"Have we met before?"

The "Emperor" looked at Trian. His memory shouldn't be so bad that even people can't remember clearly. What's more, his operating system has a built-in storage function. In terms of memory, machines are more efficient than human brains. many.

"No, but you tried to save me, like what I'm doing to you now."

"Are you mistaken, I don't remember such a thing."

"Yungang Biopharmaceuticals."

Trian said a name familiar to "Emperor", "Once I lost contact with my team and company, you were the only six-star rescuer who came to save me, we were very close at that time, I could hear Your voice, you're just one step away from finding us."

The "Emperor" fell silent.

He recalled that rescue operation. At that time, he happened to be conducting an investigation in the forest area of ​​the "outside". After learning that a research team from a company was missing, he immediately participated in the rescue operation.

But they stayed in the forest for nearly a week, but they couldn't find Trian and her team after all. They seemed to have evaporated without leaving any clues.

Until this moment, the "Emperor" suddenly realized.

Perhaps, the people in the research team at that time were also transferred to the ground or other cracks by the strange space ability.

"Glad you survived."

Facing the response of "Emperor", Trian just smiled.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and she said again, "Go back and act as if you have never gone through the maze."

"If I could have found the maze back then, things would have been different."

The "Emperor" looked at the place behind Trian with firm eyes.

Anyone will experience the process of growing up in failure, even the six-star rescuer is no exception.

"Not everything in this world goes as planned."

"It's the same for me," Trianne said.

Although she sincerely wanted to persuade the "Emperor" to leave, she obviously couldn't change the heart of a six-star rescuer so easily.

Tough and powerful, this is the quality possessed by "Emperor".

These qualities propelled him through the thorny road all the way here.

"So……"

Both of them understood each other's thoughts, "If you can survive, stop listening to the voice in your head, this is my advice to you."

"She's lying, kill her!"

The voice in the head suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two parties, and abruptly conveyed new instructions to the "Emperor".

When the "Emperor" came back to his senses, the scene in front of him was reversed again.

But this time, beside him are no longer statues of ancient trees and grand staircases. At this moment, he is in the deep darkness, as if he is above the sky, but also as if he is at the bottom of the sea.

The giant shadow that existed in front of his eyes before appeared in front of him, baring its fangs towards him.

　Small theater its 140 six:

　　On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Wednesday, morning.

　　The happy time is always short, Lu Xiang felt that the vacation would be over in a blink of an eye, and life would return to the pace of work.

　　Song Lan found that traveling was more tiring than going to work. During the day, he traveled with the tour group, so he didn't have time to find a place to lie down and take a nap, and he couldn't rest in peace when he returned to the guest room at night.

　　Tired in the morning and even more tired in the evening, so much so that he now feels that life is so easy when he is sitting in the office.

　　He seriously suspected that this was Lu Xiang's conspiracy, and made him understand how easy it is to go to work through a strong comparison.

　　However, all the hard work pays off.

　　He took out his mobile phone, with a gloomy smile on his face - it recorded all of Lu Xiang's "criminal evidence", and he named the folder "Little Lu Xiang in Love", and the photos and videos are all exquisite. The carefully selected ones are similar to his "Universe Invincible Series".

　　Now that Lu Xiang was caught by him, Song Lan decided to take the initiative to meet Lu Xiang with these black histories at noon.

　　Lu Xiang, who returned to work, returned to his usual indifferent and expressionless appearance.

　　"Old Lu, I don't know why these things suddenly appeared on my phone."

　　He knew that Lu Xiang had sharp eyes, so he deliberately let her see the title of the folder. In order to prevent Lu Xiang from using violence, he also said, "I have backed up everything, and deleting it is useless."

　　Lu Xiang looked at him with puzzled eyes for a long time, then left the office door open, not afraid of someone passing by suddenly, stepped forward and took Song Lan's arm affectionately.

　　"husband~"

　　She said in a voice so sweet that Song Lan's scalp tingled.
