Chapter 1470 Extraordinary Vision

The street lamps with black wrought iron carvings sprinkled warm light yellow light, and the figure of the bee floated through the crowd like an inconspicuous fallen leaf, leaving no ripples among the pedestrians.

She came to a shop at the end of the block. Outside the shop was the "Three Towers" emblem that foreign businessmen had to hang up when they opened a shop in Violet. In the display window, you could see all kinds of novel groceries from across the strait. , At this moment, there is a wooden sign hanging on the door of the store, with the words "Closed Business" written on it.

Quebee's eyes stayed on the "Closed Business" wooden sign for a second, then pushed the door open and entered.

The shop was empty, and due to the suspension of business, there were no customers inside, only a young man in a dark coat sitting behind the counter and packing up the sundries. Hearing the movement from the door, the young man raised his head, and he seemed relieved when he found it was a bee, and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Why is there a sign that the business is temporarily closed at this time?" Quefeng quickly walked to the counter and said in a low voice, "Also, where is the 'store manager'?"

"The store manager has gone to Beicheng District." The young man quietly followed the movement near the door, and said casually in a low voice, "I received an order from the bureau today. The Violet Kingdom has been seriously affected by extraordinary visions. All contact points are suspending activities and preparing to evacuate, and the store manager intends to collect as much information as possible before evacuating."

"...Ready to evacuate?" Sparrow Bee's face showed a look of astonishment, "The situation has become so serious? Then we are here..."

"It's more serious than you imagined. All the operators in Lenghai City have lost contact, and no news has been sent back." The young man wiped the shiny ornaments on the counter, his movements were smooth and natural, but his tone was extremely serious. When sending back messages normally, suddenly there is no audio at all, not even the 'whistle' that should be sent out in the most urgent situation."

"Didn't the whistle come out?!" Quefeng couldn't believe what she heard, "There are well-trained operators over there, and they are also carrying the most advanced communication equipment, how could they disappear so quietly? Connected?"

"...The biggest possibility is that the anomaly has spread to Lenghai City, and all the local operators died before they had time to respond. And in fact, it is not only our intelligence personnel who lost contact, but also the ones who lost contact... It's the whole Lenghai City." The young man temporarily put down his work and looked up into the eyes of Sparrow Bee. "Some ordinary Loren merchants who do business in Lenghai City have also cut off contact with the mainland. Since yesterday, the Beigang side The communication station never received any magic net signal from Lenghai City.

"This morning, I also saw the spies of the Typhon people rushing to No. 23, Xicheng Street. I suspect that they have also noticed the anomaly and are preparing to evacuate."

The bees widened their eyes,

However, in just two seconds, she forced herself to calm down, and at the same time, she already understood Director Amber's order to evacuate—even though the evacuation order was sudden, even though "all contact points were evacuated because of the sudden disappearance of some intelligence personnel." "This matter seemed a little impulsive. Although it is regrettable to give up the foundation of the business here, she knows that this is a last choice.

Visions are happening, which are large-scale mutations caused by incomprehensible magical powers or other extraordinary forces, rather than conventional secret intelligence warfare, public opinion confrontation, or special infiltration, the latter is the field that the operatives of the Military Intelligence Bureau are good at. But the former...has gone beyond the "job scope" of ordinary intelligence personnel, and this kind of professional work should be left to a professional team.

In fact, when she realized that Prandell was being affected by the extraordinary vision, Finchbee thought that she might receive an order to evacuate, but she didn't expect this day to come so early-in the recent period of "" "Extraordinary Vision" did not show any real danger, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

But even if there is no such layer, as long as Director Amber's order is issued, Sparrow Bee will still choose to execute it unconditionally-this is the iron law of all MIB operatives.

"This is no longer the front line for intelligence activities. Our mission is over. The bureau chief stated in the order that the Violet Kingdom will be treated as an 'abnormal area'," the young man shook his head, his voice deep , "But after all, it is still an independent 'kingdom' on the surface, and we cannot take any military action against it until it shows no infringement and hostility towards the alliance... There will be an elite steel army We were replaced by a team of Rangers and two paranormal countermeasures specialists in investigating and countering paranormal phenomena."

Sparrow Bee nodded slightly, and then said as if casually mentioning: "I saw Torig on the way back, and talked to him for a while."

"Torrig... the mage apprentice who lives in the inner city?" The young man thought for a while, and quickly matched the names in his mind, "What did you talk about? Did you find anything new?"

Sparrow Bee has a serious expression: "Do you still remember that Torig has an uncle? It's a wizard who lives in Palansanto - I deliberately mentioned this person in the conversation, but Torig didn't seem to remember that he had such an uncle at all. A relative seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of the inland city of 'Palansanto', and his mind was obviously confused and blank, and then he 'skipped' our topic..."

Quebee told about the situation she encountered today, and the young man behind the counter frowned a little bit, and after a moment of thinking, he said in a low voice: "Since this period of time, there have been rumors about 'inland' in Prandell City. There is less and less news, and people don't talk about anything related to the city of a thousand towers or inland cities like Paransanto. Trade goods, letters, visitors from the inland cities... all that kind of stuff is in the Disappeared, but until today, the situation has not been as weird as you just mentioned, at least when we take the initiative to mention the inland to ordinary people in this city, they will still answer normally...

"But now, there is a local resident who has obvious mental abnormalities when talking about this topic..."

"It feels as if the 'outback' of Violet is gradually peeling off from this kingdom, or wrapped in some kind of 'cocoon'," Finch Bee murmured thoughtfully, "There is some kind of force in the 'Delete' all information related to the inland, and even prevent ordinary people in the border areas from talking about and recalling inland cities like the City of Thousand Towers... Is this some kind of barrier? A barrier of cognition and memory?"

"...I feel worse than that," the young man shook his head. "Today I went to the central market to investigate the origin of Matillon wine in the city-you should know that until noon yesterday, this wine could only be bought from It is an 'foreign product' brought over from Cold Sea City, and at the same time, this wine is not a local product of the Violet Kingdom. It is produced in the winery opened by the Gray Elf merchant in Cold Sea City. It is moss forest honey wine 'Localization' adjusted product, but since noon yesterday, this wine has become Prandel's 'local specialty'.

"I bought a bottle of 'Matillon' in the central market, and it's on the shelf on your left. Open it and have a look."

Sparrow Bee was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see the bottle of wine on the shelf. The dark brown bottle was still printed with the logo of a brewery in Plandel City. She reached out and took the bottle over, and found that the cork had been removed. After opening it once, she immediately noticed something was wrong after pulling out the plug - she didn't smell any aroma of wine.

"This is... clear water?" She sniffed the liquid inside carefully, and took a small sip at the prompt of her colleague, with a look of astonishment on her face, "Is it clear water when you buy it?"

The young man behind the counter nodded: "Yes, but the locals don't seem to have noticed that they trade clear water as wine, and there are people in the market who drink this stuff and get drunk, but the others are 'transformed' into Not so with local products.

"Pine cheese is at least cheese when it becomes a local specialty, iced wine is still wine when it goes from a Paransanto specialty to a local wine, and all kinds of other things that used to be transported from inland are now local commodities. Stuff...although the 'setting' has changed, but at least the stuff is still true, only this Matillon... has turned into clear water outrageously."

"Why is this happening..." Sparrow Bee was stunned and confused for a while, and then vaguely guessed, "Could it be because... although this thing was produced in Cold Sea City, its source was brought in by gray elf merchants 'The mosswood mead, from 'basics', is it down to 'things beyond violets'?"

"That's the only difference between Matillon and the other commodities that are being replaced," her colleague nodded, "and it gives me the feeling that there's some sort of massive ... 'rule' that's controlling This mutation, this rule can affect all things that originally belonged to Violet, can erase the existence of Palansanto from the memory of the residents of Plandel, and can turn a city's specialty into another city's local goods , but...things outside the Violet Kingdom have jumped out of this system, and it has no way to 'copy' things that do not exist in its own system, so the Matillon wine that the gray elves brought to this country is in the central market of Prandell turned into clear water."

The scene described by the other party made Sparrow Bee feel strange and frightened, and an imaginary scene suddenly popped up in her mind—if Cecil's businessman opened a business in a seaside city other than Prandell A factory that produces magic devices, and has been exporting goods to other cities, so what will it look like now after the vision occurs?

Will there be "locally produced" magic devices in the central market? Then because the 'rule' that caused the vision could not replicate things outside the Violet system, those "magic devices" turned into a bunch of strange empty shells?

She said what she had conceived, and the young man behind the counter thought about it seriously and nodded slowly: "It's not impossible... If our guess is correct, what happened to Matillon The anomaly of the obviously happens to other similar things too. But we are doomed to have no way of verifying this.

"Except for the gray elves with super mobility, no Loren people have successfully built factories in the Violet Kingdom. All the 'foreign goods' on the market are directly shipped from Los Angeles via the circum-continent route. It was shipped over from Lun, so naturally there is no 'wrong replacement'."

Bird Bee nodded, and then she seemed to realize something suddenly, subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the mechanical clock hanging on the opposite wall, her tone became a little nervous: "How long has the store manager been out? Is there a safety signal back? "

"He went out six hours ago," replied the young man behind the counter, and then seemed to have a sudden reaction, "...he shouldn't have been alone for so long without signaling...especially when When extraordinary visions have appeared in the city."

While talking, he took out an ordinary-looking pocket watch with a brass case from his pocket, pressed the button to open the cover, and all the hands on the seemingly normal dial were fixed at the 12 o'clock position And not moving at all.

The expression of the young man changed slightly. He quickly pressed the button three times, and the dial of the pocket watch opened with a snap, revealing the movement below, as well as the intricate runes and fine crystal structures around the movement. One of the small crystals At this moment, it is exuding a slight red light, and there seems to be an uneasy rhythm in the flickering of the light.

This is a dedicated communication tool for officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and it is the smallest communication device that can be achieved with current technology.

In order to reduce the size and enhance security, this small device does not have the complete function of the magic network terminal, but it can send and receive specific rhythm signals through vibration, buzzing, etc., and these signals can transmit important information by encoding in advance. The rune array inside its movement can also be used to monitor the operation status of other operators' communication equipment.

"...the 'store manager' may be in trouble," the young man suddenly raised his head and looked at Finch Bee with the same serious expression. "I can't track his signal response here."

"It's also possible that there is an emergency and you have to switch to silent mode - don't send him a signal rashly." Sparrow Bee said quickly, and then seemed to notice something suddenly, and suddenly turned back to look in the direction of the shop window.

At some point, there was already a dense fog outside the window.

Everything on the street is shrouded in dense fog, the carriage parked by the roadside, the outline of the opposite building, and even the lampposts that are close at hand, everything has become a hazy and gloomy void in the dense fog. The shadows were vaguely visible, only the warm light from the street lamps lit up in the fog, like sparks floating in the fog, vaguely outlining the direction of the street.

But in this thick and strange fog, Sparrow Bee didn't see any pedestrians.

The thick fog will of course hinder people's travel, but it is somewhat weird that no one can be seen on the road, especially the bird bee is 100% sure, at least two minutes ago when she glanced at the window from the corner of her eye. Seeing such a heavy fog, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road—two minutes, just two minutes, what happened in this city? !

She exchanged glances with her colleague behind the counter. The latter had already reached out and took out two sets of small melt-cut daggers and magic terminals for combat from the hidden compartment of the counter. They skillfully and quickly put on the wrist-like terminal, He hid the dagger behind the hem of his close-fitting and easy-to-use clothes, and then cautiously walked towards the window.
