Sitting on the running off-road vehicle, He Ao was holding a hamburger in his hand, and while eating, he turned his head and looked at the street outside the window.

The regional planning of Winter City is a bit like an inverted pyramid. The shape of each area is close to a long strip, arranged layer by layer.

The largest part of the 'tower' is the storm zone, which is closest to the Sea of ​​Storms, followed by Akka, Novit, and farthest away from the Sea of ​​Storms, while the smallest 'spire' is the cloud zone.

The fish cake bar that He Ao set off was in the storm area close to the Aka area, and now the off-road vehicle has passed through the Aka area and entered the Novit area.

He also bought a hamburger for lunch at a burger joint down the road.

After the off-road vehicle crossed an invisible boundary, the surrounding old houses turned into neat buildings, and the sound of roaring machinery rumbled in the buildings.

Novit District is the most "special" area among the four districts of Winter City. Theoretically speaking, Novit District cannot be inhabited, and there are no residential buildings in this district.

This entire area is the industrial area of ​​Winter City, and the machines of the joint industry are running endlessly in these fortified buildings.

Some large buses passed by He Ao's off-road vehicle, and there were tired people standing crowded inside. Some people found He Ao's off-road vehicle, and they glanced at the off-road vehicle with a little novelty, and then quickly looked back.

The crowded carriages made it impossible for them to even free their hands to play with the bracelets in their hands. Many people had earphones plugged in their ears, playing music, or listening to some live broadcasts.

Some people leaned against the crowd, their eyes closed tightly, and they seemed to be fast asleep.

Most of the employees in the Novit District live in the Acre District. They take the paid buses of United Industries to arrive at the factory during working hours, and then take these buses back to the Acre District after get off work.

In order to take more passengers, these buses usually do not have seats and do not have a driver. The driver's seat is also saved, and they rely on the driverless system to operate.

Winter City has never restricted the circulation of people, but the vast majority of people living in the Acre District and the Storm District may have never been to the Cloud District in their entire lives.

He Ao watched the buildings in front of him recede one by one, and felt the off-road vehicle pass through the old and dilapidated streets.

He looked up to the edge of the road ahead, where there was an electronic sensor.

This sensor will sense the electronic chip inside the vehicle's license plate to determine the current location of the vehicle.

This electronic sensor does not belong to the Winter Municipal Government, but to the United Industries.

The factories and buildings in the Novit district, as well as the roads, are the assets of United Industries.

All vehicles traveling on these roads will pay a 'toll fee' to United Industries, which is calculated according to distance and time.

A bill for this fee will be sent to the mailbox bound to the vehicle and debited from the owner's credit card account.

This toll fee is not cheap, but the roads in the Novit district can hardly be called good. Although they are better than the roads in the storm district and the Akka district, they are only barely usable.

He Ao took a bite of the hamburger, looked away, and felt the extraordinary power surging in his body.

The 'Secret Viewer' has two abilities. The first ability is the 'Spiritual Vision Observation' that He Ao had mastered before. This ability allows He Ao to obtain a 'Second Vision' that overlaps the original vision.

This vision allows him to clearly see the 'souls' of all the lives around the soul without opening the super memory, and he can also feel the 'power' beating in their bodies.

If he can bear the pollution of the ravings in his ears, he can also overdraw his life and enter the "Boundary of Truth" that he has entered before.

This ability allows He Ao to clearly distinguish the transcendent hidden in the crowd, and understand things that cannot be understood by human vision.

Of course, this also means that he will be more likely than others to be involved in dangerous supernatural events.

At the same time, the endless 'whispers' that seem to be issued by the truth are always echoing in his ears.

Moreover, this second vision cannot be closed, even if he closes his eyes, he can clearly 'see' things around him.

And the second ability of the 'Secret Watcher' is roughly equal to the extension of 'Spiritual Vision Observation', He Ao called it 'Spirit Peering Pressure'

When He Ao focused his "eyes" on a specific person's soul, the deeper things in this person's soul would be dissected by "spiritual vision observation".

At the same time, those "whispers" surrounding He Ao will also try to follow He Ao's gaze and "peek" into the soul of the person whose gaze is being watched.

And these manifestations in reality, that is, the person being watched by He Ao will feel a kind of trembling from the soul, and will be unable to completely control his body for a short time, and a series of stress reactions will appear.

Of course, in theory, if He Ao stared at that person for a long time, that person might be chased and polluted by those "whispering words" and eventually go crazy.

That is to say, He Ao can completely rely on "staring people" to stare people to death.

But even the soul of an ordinary person has a certain degree of order. It is actually very difficult to rely on the "spirit-watching" to introduce pollution into his body, and it will take a long time.

The high-level talent sequence of the same path as the 'Secret Watcher' may be able to achieve the achievement of staring at everyone, but it is still relatively difficult for a C-level 'Secret Watcher' to achieve this.

Therefore, in actual combat, its most important role is to make the opponent's actions go wrong through the influence on its soul.

In fact, these two abilities appeared during the promotion process, and He Ao has been using them subconsciously, and it is only now that the promotion has been completed, and they have stabilized.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is not a normal 'promotion'.

Yiluo is not a transcendent in itself, the talent sequence of 'hidden viewer' should come from the 'wooden plaque' that seems to be engraved with the wizard's emblem 'Eye of Truth' brought back by Yiluo's father.

The wooden sign should be a supernatural item, but after the accident, Yiluo activated the extraordinary power inside for some reason, which led to the fusion of the wooden sign and Yiluo.

In fact, the final outcome of this kind of direct fusion of high-level extraordinary items beyond the pre-talent sequence is basically either death or turning into a monster.

Only a very few lucky ones can survive smoothly, but they are also standing on the verge of madness.

Many transcendents in the main world are promoted, and this seems to be the case. They are attracted to eat the remains of high-ranked transcendents in the ruins. If they succeed, they will be promoted, and if they die, they will die.

Perhaps this special "wooden card" is the method of "inheriting the extraordinary" that wizards thought of in the era of catastrophe, when there was no periodic table of talent sequences, or even the knowledge of talent sequence promotion.

If you carry it through, you will live. Congratulations on becoming an extraordinary person. If you can't resist it, you will be next.

But why Yiluo?Is it pure chance?
Yiluo itself seems to have a very high "compatibility" with the talent sequence of "Secret Watcher", and can even borrow the power of "Secret Watcher" to a certain extent without being polluted, and even the maintenance of its life may have " The Hidden Watcher's power affects within.

But as an ordinary person, he can't bear the pollution brought by the hidden viewer. The pollution brought by this talent sequence that can "peek into the truth" is much higher than other C-level talent sequences.

However, he may not die directly. Judging from his physique, if he fully accepts the power of the 'Secret Watcher', he will most likely become a monster that can 'peek into the truth' in the end.

This seems to be how the 'script' would have been if Ho Ao hadn't come.

Of course, there is another possibility that Yiluo obtained the wooden card and merged with the talent sequence in the wooden card, all this is just a coincidence.

He Ao leaned on the driver's seat, folded the wrapper of the hamburger he had eaten, and put it into the trash can in the car.

He used his 'spiritual vision' to 'look' at the densely packed distorted patterns in the sky of the city,

The vortex below the city seemed to be more chaotic than he expected.

After the promotion ended, the subtle pain didn't completely disappear, it still lingered on his body, and the whispers echoed in his ears.

Strictly speaking, if he hadn't had a little tolerance for pollution and pain, he would have gone crazy long ago.

The off-road vehicle continued to drive between the factory buildings, and soon, a clean and tidy street appeared at the end of He Ao's vision.

Since the shape is a vertical strip, it does not take much time to cross the Novi District.

Ahead is the cloud area.

Unlike the Novit District, which is gray and white as a whole, the buildings in the Yunyun District are mixed with many bright colors, and many buildings adopt a streamlined design, which is quite aesthetic.

In addition, the roads in the Yunyun District are much smoother than those in the Novit District, and there are landscape trees with branches covered with snow on both sides.

The roads of the two areas are not blocked in any way, but it seems that there is an invisible wall separating the two areas.

The off-road vehicle drove into the clean road, and then headed north along the navigation route. Soon, a grand and tall building appeared in He Ao's vision.

The front of the whole building presents a raised curved surface, and the back is vertical. It stands out from other buildings that are relatively short overall, like a towering cliff, standing at the tip of the fallen 'pyramid' in Winter City.

He Ao withdrew his eyes from the magnificent high-rise building, and the off-road vehicle drove past the curved front of the building.

In front of the United Industrial Building is a wide square. In the center of the square is a huge circular fountain. Clear water droplets are continuously gushing out from the center of the fountain, like flowing wealth, gathering in the pool under the building.

After bypassing the United Industrial Building, there was a wide park. He Ao parked the off-road vehicle in the parking lot near the park, then got off on foot and entered the park.

There are many pedestrians wearing down jackets walking in the park, and the snow falls on the landscape trees, which outlines a beautiful winter picture.

He Ao did not stop in front of this beautiful scroll, but quickly passed through the park and reached the deep depths of the woods.

A lush, evergreen special tree similar to a pine tree appeared in He Ao's vision.

And behind these arbors, there are 'villas' hidden behind the arbors.

This is the end of his trip, Pinewood Street.

It was just past afternoon, and there was still some time before [-]:[-] pm, so How could just find time to retrieve his 'coffin lid' and harpoon.

He now has a roomy SUV that can fit all that stuff.

He Ao glanced at the road ahead, and walked slowly along the street.

Pine Forest Street is very long, and He Ao walked about a kilometer before he vaguely saw a closed double iron gate. On the door plate next to the large iron gate, it said [No. 2 Pine Forest Street].

But he didn't walk over immediately, but looked to the opposite side of the big iron gate.

A small sentry box stood in front of the villa opposite the big iron gate. There were two security guards standing in the sentry box, but their eyes did not pay attention to the villa behind their own sentry box, but stared at the pine forest. The big iron gate at No. 2 Street.

He Ao glanced at the outside of the sentry box. At the top of the sentry box, a miniature hidden electronic camera was hanging on the outer wall, aiming at the big iron gate.

It seems that this sentry box is not used to maintain the safety of the owner of the villa behind him, but to monitor the people living at No. 2 Pine Forest Street.

He Ao raised his bracelet and glanced at the location sent by Willy not long ago.

This location is not at the main entrance of the villa facing Pine Forest Street, but at the back of the villa, in an alley far from the villa.

His steps were hidden under the thick landscape trees, and he turned into the side alley before walking into the detection range of the electronic eyes.

The alley is completely sandwiched by the courtyard walls of the villas on both sides. He Ao walked a long way before reaching the location marked in the positioning.

There are no doors here, only two towering walls.

After a short thought, He Ao squatted down and glanced at his feet.

The ground of this alley seems to be rarely visited by anyone, and it has not been repaired for a long time, and it looks quite old.

He Ao pressed his hand on the ground in front of him and tapped lightly, and a faint empty sound resounded in the alleyway.

After a brief pause, Ho raised his bracelet and sent Willy a message: [I'm here]
There was a quick reply: [Wait a moment]
After about a few minutes, with a soft 'click' sound, the ground in front of He Ao was slowly lifted by the mechanical support pole, revealing a deep downward staircase.

There was a figure standing on the stairs at the moment, it was Carrie whom He Ao had seen before.

Wearing a black and white maid outfit with a sense of design, she went up the stairs, looked up and looked around, then looked at He Ao, and said quickly, "This way."

He Ao nodded slightly, followed her, and stepped onto the stairs.

The opened channel slowly closed.

At the bottom of the stairs was a long, brightly lit corridor, Carrie in front, and Hoo following her, walking quickly along the corridor.

"This is the escape route prepared by the old master before,"

As Carrie walked forward, she explained to He Ao, "Miss now uses it as a passage to enter and exit the villa."

He Ao reached out and touched the wall of the passage. The wall was very hard and seemed to have been specially thickened and reinforced. There were some small closed doors on both sides of the passage. Class markup.

It looked like the tunnel could serve as some sort of underground shelter in addition to being an escape route.

Going forward along this passage for about 600 meters, a new staircase appeared in front of He Ao.

Carrie reached out and pressed a switch next to the stairs, and with a crisp sound, something seemed to be slowly turned on at the end of the stairs, and bright lights poured down from above the stairs.

Carrie stepped aside and made a 'please' gesture to He Ao.

He Ao raised his feet and walked up the stairs.

Soon, the scene above the stairs gradually appeared in He Ao's vision.

This is a hall full of gentle radiance. The whole hall is in the shape of a 'deep well' with a height of more than 20 meters. The surrounding walls are curved. A huge crystal chandelier hangs down from the middle of the hall, emitting a warm light.

Curved bookshelves of solid wood color surround the entire hall along the curved walls and reach to the top of the hall. Countless books are densely packed on these bookshelves one by one, like a 'tower' of books. Hoo surrounds it.

And between these books, some oil paintings are hung as embellishments.

He Ao had a feeling in his heart, and looked up at the highest point of the entire 'book tower', where, in the place where the distorted patterns in the void were densest, there was a frosted glass cabinet embedded in it, which seemed to hang a pair of exquisite The oil painting is only concealed by the frosted glass cabinet.

But in He Ao's "sight of vision", the "picture" of the oil painting is clearly presented through the "frosted glass cabinet".

At the very center of the oil painting, an old man with an old face is kneeling on the ground, bowing his head in prayer, and the bright light is sprinkled from the sky, spreading evenly on his body.

The old man looks old and seems to be close to death, but this painting paints the old man like a baby. The whole oil painting reveals a distorted and grotesque 'sense of holiness'.

He Ao pulled the 'field of view' away and moved down. Below the oil painting, there was a small post-it note with the name of the oil painting.

"The Baptism,"

The gentle female voice rang in his ears, and Willie stood beside him, also looking up at the frosted cabinet with oil paintings,
"My father said that it was an oil painting he bought from an antique dealer, and it seemed to be by a great painter in the early days of the Commonwealth,

"However, he didn't let anyone in our family see the painting. As soon as he bought it, he covered the painting with a frosted glass cover and hung it on the highest place."

She looked at He Ao's deep eyes with some doubts, "Is there any problem with this painting?"

In her impression, although He Ao looked young, he seemed to be a powerful transcendent who knew a lot about occultism.

"no problem,"

He Ao withdrew his gaze, "He was right not to let you see this painting."

And the 'weirdness' of this painting itself should come from the content it paints, not the painting itself. As long as ordinary people can't see the painting inside, they won't be affected by it.

However, what made He Ao a little puzzled was that the painting itself did have some magic, but the performance of the magic was not strong.

It doesn't seem to match the 'personality' covered by the 'distorted pattern'.

"You don't look very old, but sometimes you talk old-fashioned,"

Willie seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and whispered, "My father used to always say, let me not be curious, not to look at this painting."

In a world full of weirdness, most of the time, the more curious you are, the faster you die.

He Ao turned his head and glanced at her, "Your father seems to be a very capable celebrity."

The oil paintings hanging in this hall are not all supernatural items, most of them are ordinary oil paintings. Judging from the memory He Ao inherited from Wei An, most of these oil paintings are authentic works of masters, the cheapest one It also costs millions of federal coins.

There are many similar oil paintings in Wei'an's house.

There are not many people in Winter City who can have such financial resources.

"His name is Scohn."

Willie paused and said softly.

"Founder of United Industries?"

Howe looked up at her.

At the same time, Eve is explaining information about Skohn in detail to him through a hidden Bluetooth headset.

Yiluo didn't have this information in his memory, so he didn't know anything about it.

Skohn is one of the founders of United Industries, and also the first chairman of the board of directors and the first CEO of United Industries.

He presided over the construction of the current Novit District.

As the first helm of the joint industry, the policies of the Skohn era were more in favor of civilians than the current joint industry. He vigorously built factories, increased employment opportunities, increased employee benefits, cared about welfare, and contributed to the early joint industry. Industry has gained a great deal of prestige.

In Skorn's era, the roads in the Novit District were free of charge, and there were many buses that were free and had seats.

Because of this series of measures, Skohn also has a high prestige among the people of Winter City.

However, Skohn has not been in power for a long time. According to public news, 17 years ago, he stepped down from the position of chairman of the board of directors and CEO of United Industries, and all policies were interrupted as a result.

14 years ago, he was assassinated while participating in a public event with his wife.

At the same time, Howe probably understood why Willie seemed to have a high prestige in the 'Twilight Society'.

There is a high probability that this girl is the financial backer of the Twilight Society.

"Yes," Willie smiled, and she looked at He Ao, "How about it, after knowing my identity, do you regret transferring the more than 5000 bracelet money to me?"

He Ao nodded cooperatively, "I regret it."

"It's so perfunctory,"

Willie sighed, "I'll give you back your skis and harpoon first."

Two domestic robots approached, holding Hoo's metal cap and harpoon.

"Then,"

Willie paused and raised her hand.

A flying robot flew out from behind her, reached the highest point of the entire hall, pulled a long wooden box from the topmost bookshelf, and flew all the way to her.

She reached out and caught the long wooden box.

Then the whole person was swayed by the weight of the wooden box and almost fell down.

He Ao quickly stretched out his hand, supported the wooden box, and helped her stabilize her figure.

"Cough cough,"

She coughed, pretending that nothing happened just now, her face was flushed, and she hugged the wooden box with all her strength, and opened the lid of the wooden box, "This may be suitable for you."

Seeing her strenuous appearance, He Ao stretched out his hand again to hold the wooden box, relieved Willy's pressure, and raised his eyes to look into the wooden box.

A whole body is white, the sword is separated from the sheath, the sword body is carved with fine lines, and the knight's sword reflecting the faint cold light appears in his vision.

"The name of this sword is 'Zhi Shou',"

Willie looked at He Ao, and explained in a slow voice, "It is said that the weapon was created by wizards in the catastrophe era. Only those who stick to their beliefs can master it."

Another [-] words, ask for a ticket at the end of the month!
