Natural black penetrates into infinite flow

After taking over the scepter, the king's position has been stabilized.

Xia Mingchi nodded to the king, "Congratulations."

[According to the laws of the planet, facing the monarch, the courtiers kneel on one knee and kiss the back of the monarch's hand. 】System reminder.

"..."

Not so good.

He didn't want to kiss anyone except the real Lu Qihuai.

Xia Mingchi searched his mind for a reason to refuse, but the king had already reached out to him.

Xia Mingchi knelt down on one knee and put the back of his hand on his forehead.

king:?

"This is a better way to express my loyalty to you than kissing hands, Your Majesty. The entire special forces surrender to you, and always have been."

The king was very happy. Since he ascended the throne, although the ministers were obedient on the surface, they still felt that he was young secretly.

Obtaining Xia Mingchi's promise, the king took his hand out of Xia Mingchi's hand and put it on the top of his skull.

That technique is like taming a proud cat.

Guo Chao Xia Mingchi took a step, and the distance between the two closed. He leaned over and leaned into Xia Mingchi's ear, and said meaningfully: "I hope you can always remember."

He showed a smile of Chengfu.

Well, things are all going according to plan.

Xia Mingchi naturally wouldn't see the king's expression, because when he was allowed to stand up, the king turned back into the young monarch who was full of enthusiasm for the planet.

The king slowly walked back to the throne, looked down at Xia Mingchi and said, "I want to rebuild the temple in the untouchable area."

Xia Mingchi: "The Temple Square bombing has not been solved yet, is it too urgent to rebuild now..."

"Rebuilding the temple can express devotion to the gods. Didn't Team Xia also say that he would submit to me?"

The king didn't seem to want to mention the explosion. "The new temple will heal the pain in the hearts of the untouchables and let them know that life has returned to normal."

He held the golden cane symbolizing power in his left hand, and rubbed the jewels inlaid on it with his right hand, with an intoxicated expression.

"Besides, the square bombing didn't hurt me either..."

The king whispered, and then quickly put on a smiling face. The change of mood made Xia Mingchi think that he had just hallucinated.

The king said, "Let's go to work on other things."

Back in the office, Xia Mingchi always felt a strange split in the king.

On the one hand, when the plague has not been completely eradicated, he entered the lower quadrant regardless of opposition, showing love for the people like a son.

On the other hand, the explosion in the Temple Square killed many healthy untouchables. What he said was only considered from his own standpoint.

At that time, the square was ablaze, there were stumps on the ground, and the smell of burnt corpses was in the air.

Looking around, there are no signs of life.

That scene was so shocking that Xia Mingchi would never forget it.

A news bullet box popped up in the lower right corner of the light screen on the desk, bringing Xia Mingchi's thoughts back to reality.

"Professor Lu Qihuai has successfully optimized the specific medicine, increasing the cure rate from 70% to 98%."

Xia Mingchi clicked on the news, and Lu Qihuai's photo was at the top of the news.He was dressed in a white coat, smiling at the camera, gentle and elegant.

However, Xia Ming was not used to the sense of alienation in his eyes.

That's all, it's just a man in a leather jacket.

The news also said that the medical team has returned to the lower four quadrants to treat the untouchables, and the plague has basically been eliminated in the untouchable areas.

The plague was ferocious, but it could be eliminated in a short time. Xia Mingchi always felt that there was a hand behind him controlling it.

Anyway, it's okay for the time being, why not go to the untouchable area to have a look.

Xia Mingchi changed into casual clothes and took the commuter car to and from each quadrant.

This is the first time he has come by himself besides performing missions.

The walls of the streets and alleys in the untouchable area are dilapidated. At first glance, they look like old communities in real life.Wires are exposed and trash is everywhere.

Hangover drunkards on the street, beggars begging, half-naked, frivolous boys or girls flirting with each other.

Although Xia Mingchi was dressed in an ordinary way, his face and demeanor were obviously different from those in the untouchables.

From time to time someone looked at him.

Xia Mingchi was slightly embarrassed, and simply pulled up the zipper of the black leather jacket to cover half of his face.

In the noisy crowd, he heard some footsteps.

The sound of footsteps appeared probably when he turned into the street, and he had followed him for a long time.

Xia Mingchi's speed increased, and he flashed into the alley next to him. The people behind him seemed to get anxious and chased into the alley. In the darkness, he saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him.

"You looking for me?" Xia Mingchi stood against the wall with his arms folded.

"Small...there are clues about the bombing case that I would like to provide..." The visitor drew his right hand behind his back, as if deliberately hiding something.

Bombings?Xia Ming was late.

"Report directly to the Untouchables Public Security Bureau. I am afraid of retaliation, so I have no choice but to find you."

He walked very slowly, and every step he took was filled with temptation.

Xia Mingchi stood up straight, touched the weapon used for self-defense in the back waist, and directly pierced his disguise without talking nonsense with the other party.

"You're not here to provide clues, you're here to kill me. Hands up! Or I'll shoot!"

Someone came rushing towards Xia Mingchi, "Then we will die together! Anyway, your special forces team has no credibility, and you won't give me a way out!"

Under the dark night, his raised right hand gleamed coldly—it was a dagger.

Xia Mingchi stepped back and kicked the dagger with his feet, his movements were smooth and smooth, without giving him the slightest chance to fight back.

"Why do you say that the Special Forces have no credibility?" Xia Mingchi, as the captain of the Special Forces, always found these words extremely harsh.

Although he has only entered the game dungeon not long ago, he has already adapted to the role very well and has strict management of the special forces.

Could it be that something happened that I didn't know before the dungeon started.

Xia Mingchi clasped the attacker's arms backwards, pressed them against the wall, took off the opponent's peaked cap, and the sound of the system rang in his ears.

[Cole, 28 years old, identity: a thief in a pariah area. 】

Cole turned his head and scolded: "Damn it, it was agreed at the beginning that as long as the package is delivered to the cornerstone of the Temple Square, I can change my identity to a commoner and let me go to the fourth quadrant. The result? The square It exploded, and you all chased me around... If I had known it was a bomb, I would not have done it!!"

The cornerstone, which has been identified, is where the source of the explosion lies.

Cole was not stupid, and soon he guessed the reason why he was hunted down.

"Let me just say, what kind of good things can the special operations team do when they find a scum like me... It's all shady business."

"In the real world, I've changed my mind and stopped stealing! After entering the game, I'm still a thief! I'm going to be used by such pious aristocrats as you!!"

Cole was angry, but smiled wryly as if resigned to his fate.

Xia Mingchi was surprised and let go of Cole's grip. "The real world? Are you... a player...?"

Hearing the word "player", Cole laughed at himself, "I don't have the qualifications, I'm just a cannon fodder NPC. I talked to many people in the untouchable area, and almost all the people here are from reality, and like me, they have criminal records. "

Cole said calmly, "You're a player, aren't you?"

Xia Mingchi nodded, "Haven't you gone through the first few levels? Monster hunting grounds and the like, you will still get a number."

Cole wondered, "What monster hunting ground? I just got out of the bureau and wanted to find a job. I was still waiting for a job in the labor market, so I came here."

"The game asked me to steal things. At first I refused, but I found that I couldn't find a job at all."

He sighed, and said helplessly, "In order to survive, I can only steal food... the serial number? I only have Lao's serial number."

"Anyway, in the untouchable area, if you don't steal, rob or sell, you will have a hard time. Being a criminal in the real world and being a pariah in the game may be the fate of our garbage."

What Cole said sparked Xia Mingchi's thinking.

Xia Mingchi thought that all the poor NPCs lived in the untouchables, but he didn't expect that they were criminals from real life. These people did not become players, nor did they pass the game, but directly became cannon fodder to promote the development of the plot.

And the special forces, why use Cole to blow up the temple square, is it to eliminate the untouchables?

After a pause, Xia Mingchi asked again: "How can you be sure that the Special Forces are looking for it? Shouldn't you try your best to hide your identity when you do this kind of thing?"

Cole said: "I didn't know it at first. The last time your majesty came, you and the vice-captain stood behind your majesty, and I recognized the vice-captain. Although he was secretive when he came, his voice, body, and movements made me recognize him." remember."

"I used to practice remembering people before, in order to counter reconnaissance when stealing things. In the game, I am a small person, and I am actually worthy of being hunted all over the area. No matter how stupid I am, I can guess the reason."

Xia Mingchi took out a banknote from his wallet and handed it to Cole. "I still have some money, you take it and hide it."

Cole was stunned: "You won't catch me?"

Xia Mingchi was confused, "It's true that the Special Forces did not keep their promises."

Judging from the whole thing, Cole just sent something to the square. He didn't know what was in the package. He was cheated by the special forces.

Cole took the money, put his hat back on, and disappeared into the night.

Xia Mingchi walked out of the street slowly, with mixed emotions.

He really didn't expect that it was the Special Forces that blew up the temple.I searched and checked, and finally found my own department!

The vice-captain...he hardly paid attention to this NPC.

A figure like a background board actually hides such an important clue.

"Ah!" A scream came from ahead.

Xia Mingchi quickened his pace and saw Cole, who was still talking to him just now, lying on the ground with his head blown out.

A familiar face stood beside Cole's body.

【Vice-captain of the Special Operations Team, Minghui, 22 years old. 】

Minghui was not at all surprised by Xia Mingchi's appearance, he calmly took out the money from Kerr's pocket and returned it all to Xia Mingchi.

"Captain, there is no need to spend money, Cole must die."

"I will not report to His Majesty that Cole met the captain, and I ask the captain not to investigate the square bombing case."

Minghui put away the pistol with the silencer installed.

Xia Mingchi felt a chill all over his body.He finally understood why the people of the Untouchables Bureau had been delaying in handling the case, why the king had said, "Besides, the bombing didn't hurt me."

There is also the plague that is cured inexplicably.

It turns out that the man behind the scenes is the king who loves the people like a son.
