Star Trace Gate

It was nearly noon and the sun was shining brightly.

In the parking lot of a hotel in Kyoto City, an old off-road vehicle was parked at the corner with the engine turned off and a dark film on the windows.

In the car, Yao Sen leaned back on the driver's seat with his hands intertwined and staring expressionlessly at the front entrance of the bar called "Annual Ring" across the road.

The informant introduced by Lao He said that the ordinary man named Ren Daguo would definitely come out of this bar.

Waiting for something to happen is a boring thing, and it also easily reminds people of the past...

Yao Sen's expression was dull, his eyes were lifeless, and his face was full of decadence.

He is like a person who has rotted in life and is waiting to stink, with the word "mourning" written all over him.

But Yao Sen was not like this before. Three years ago, he was a second-level player in Star Gate. According to normal personal development, he should now be impacting on the third-level career inheritance mission, or he should have successfully achieved the third level.

Every major stage of improvement is a qualitative change for players. Because this will unlock new inheritance abilities, cause great changes in the body, greatly enhance magical abilities, and will also have higher-level star gate exploration qualifications, and have a chance to obtain very precious props, etc.

In short, he would have had a colorful future like other players.

But the battle three years ago completely defeated him and made him completely sink in the memories of the past.

Yao Sen was originally a player in the free camp. He created a team of eight players with the purpose of mutual help and mutual benefit, to experience multi-player clearance of the star gate together, and to join a group to keep warm, so as not to be bullied by players from other forces.

Moreover, the behavior of Yao Sen's team is also very kind. None of them want to participate in the struggles of various "player forces", and they will not do things that cross the line because of their interests, such as assassinations, kidnappings, political under-the-table activities, etc.

Because Yao Sen and others knew very well that they were just a group of individual players and no one could afford to offend them, so why not everyone behave themselves and just be "Star Gate Miners".

"Stargate miners" is also a kind of ridicule. It represents the group of people who are active in the Stargate, constantly "brushing copies", and constantly going through tasks, with the goal of earning star sources, accumulating props, and peacefully and steadily improving themselves. player group.

This kind of people generally keep aloof from the world and have a team they know well. As long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, few forces will mess with them. Moreover, players like them are doing well in the real world. Because star sources can be condensed into entities and props can be circulated among players, they can naturally be exchanged for real currency.

Such good days came to an abrupt end three years ago.

Because of Yao Sen's personal decision-making mistakes, their team was involved in the battle three years ago, which directly led to the death of all seven other teammates...

Among these seven teammates are his wife, his brother, and a group of friends who have been together for several years.

His parents died young and he was still at the bottom of society when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, so his wife, younger brother, and teammates were everything in his life.

These people accompany him to grow up, accompany him through life and death, accompany him to slowly feel that life is getting better, accompany him to be happy, and relieve his sadness and boredom...

Therefore, Yao Sen completely broke down and sank in the details of these companionships.

He always felt that it was his mistake that led to the death of seven members of his team.

And...if it weren't for the fact that Yao Sen had a "very precious" prop, and if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, his wife forced him to activate this prop.

Then he will definitely die, in that battle.

The prop in Yao Sen's hand is called the "Time Music Box". It is a wooden hand-cranked box with a smooth paint surface and excellent texture.

It's like a piece of art placed on a noble's desk in an ancient castle.

This prop was accidentally obtained by Yao Sen while doing the second-stage career inheritance mission.

The Time Music Box is not offensive in any way. It is a very weird auxiliary "teleportation" prop.

……

inside the car.

Yao Sen looked at the Annual Ring Bar and already had a plan in his mind.

Although his time music box has retrospective transmission capabilities, it also has many limitations.

Yao Sen thought for a long time and decided not to act rashly. He would find an excellent opportunity before implementing his plan.

"Tap!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the Annual Ring Bar.

Ren Daguo walked to the door wearing an ordinary T-shirt, casual pants, and a pair of forty-yuan high-imitation sneakers.

Under the armpit of his right arm, there was a huge oil paper bag, and he didn't know what was in it.

From the back, six watchers followed, and one of the girls said: "Mr. Ren, there is an order from the headquarters. We must send you back and hand you over to Mr. Yan and Huang Wei safely."

Ren Daguo looked helpless: "Okay, let's go."

"Thank you for your understanding." The young lady who was wearing sportswear. Although she didn't know why Ren Da stayed in Suzaku City for nearly twenty hours, due to his identity, everyone was still concerned about his safety. Very concerned.

In the parking lot, Yao Sen had sat up straight, pulled back the back of his chair, and was staring at Ren Daguo's back as he prepared to start the car.

"Squeak!"

At the same time, two off-road vehicles stopped at the door of the bar. The young lady who was responsible for sending Ren Daguo back said with a smile: "You can take the car in front."

At this moment, Ren Daguo was holding the oil paper bag, his eyes suddenly froze, and he turned to look around the street.

"What's wrong?" Miss Shou Sui asked puzzledly.

"I'm hungry." Ren Daguo's eyes stopped at a noodle shop across the street. He turned to invite the six watchers: "I'm at your headquarters and haven't eaten anything. Let's have some noodles before going back."

"Uh... ok." Miss Shou Sui Ren was stunned for a moment: "Then I'll invite you."

"So generous?" Ren Daguo joked with a smile.

"Our salary and remuneration are not bad. You can eat something good, but only around here." The young lady is very cheerful, and there is a dimple on her right cheek when she smiles.

"I'd better invite you. I'm sorry to trouble you all." Although Ren Daguo showed a fearful expression, he still greeted him warmly: "Let's go together. We'll go back after eating."

When everyone saw what he said, they could only follow him.

Everyone crossed the road and came to this very ordinary noodle shop. The hall was not large, with only seven or eight tables set up, but fortunately it was just after dinner and there were not many customers.

"You're welcome, order whatever you want." After Ren Daguo greeted him, he stood in front of the bar and ordered a bowl of beef noodles, two plates of side dishes, and took two garlic cloves.

Outdoors, after Yao Sen left the dilapidated off-road vehicle, he pretended to be a passerby and walked along the street.

He mainly wanted to see what the person who protects Ren Daguo looked like, and whether he would be replaced by someone else during the night rotation.
