Chapter 422: Opening the Curtain

"Yes." Pan Ruiyi suddenly came to his senses, "Catch Suzukawa Jiyi and show it to the public, and the matter will be solved."

"The effect of this approach is the most powerful," Wei Shiyue said coldly, "The so-called idol is to live a life that normal people can't imagine, and to do things that normal people can't do, so that they are eligible to be infinitely loved by fans." Love. Compared with the gorgeous existence of idols, ordinary people are just 'alive'. But virtual idols? After peeling off a layer of skin, they are just ordinary people."

Digging Suzukawa Yui body? Maybe it works. Xu Yang thought to himself. When virtual idols are active through the two-dimensional leather case, there is a sense of virtuality and mystery between themselves and fans, which is used to isolate reality, allowing fans to immerse themselves in it and enjoy the emotional value provided by virtual idols.

If this layer of window paper is pierced, fans will find that the idol in their fantasy is just an ordinary person that can be seen everywhere, and may even have various defects.

Once caught in this cognitive contradiction, a hazy sense of rejection will naturally arise. Watching the live broadcast of virtual idols in the future will inevitably feel artificial and boring, and there will be no hallucinatory fun in a pure virtual atmosphere.

Into the brain and out of the brain, but in an instant.

But for Suzukawa Jiyi, the situation is particularly complicated. This group of Suzukawa soldiers who are willing to enter the sewers to become crystallized people are undoubtedly chaotic and crazy people. The violent attacks in the past two days also showed their ferocious side, and there was no reason to talk to them.

What's more, the bodies of many virtual idols have been discovered long ago, which made some peripheral fans give up following, but also purified the remaining fans, making them become true diehards, and the virtual idols themselves became impeccable up. It can be seen that the effect of this approach is limited.

"The situation in the sewer is very complicated." Xu Yang explained, "We have to make good preparations, first figure out what's going on underground, and then send people to investigate."

"Deep into the ground?" Pan Ruiyi said to herself, "It's too scary, I always feel that I will encounter something particularly terrifying..."

Pen Ruiyi didn't like to go into the dark underground.

"I won't go." Wei Shiyue is also more used to activities under the sky, rather than deep into the earth, "but please rest assured, if you need moon flames, I will provide as many as you want."

"It's time to get ready." Xu Yang nodded.

Nisto Company and Shangjing United Security Company have reached a preliminary cooperation intention, but they lack mutual trust and cannot form a joint force to go underground. They can only act separately and explore ways to solve the crystallization crisis.

Xu Yang personally collected the topographic maps of the underground area of ​​Shangjing from various sources, looking for a direction to solve the crystallization problem.

As time passed, the disaster of crystallized people gradually affected the lives of every Shangjing person, and a "wall of flesh and blood" spread underground.

At the beginning of February, a subway was passing through an underground tunnel and crashed into an astonishing fleshy wall. The front of the car was seriously damaged and the line was also stalled. Similar secondary disasters are still happening, as if the underground of Shangjing is already crowded with similar diffuse cysts.

The drinking water of the residents is also polluted. Once the taps are turned on, what comes out is not clean water, but a strange liquid that is almost like blood, mixed with thin sarcoma, the size of soybeans.

The Shangjing Water Supply Company was devastated by this, because the entire groundwater body was polluted, and no matter how many purification processes it went through, the residue could not be eliminated. It could only urgently put the seawater desalination project into operation, but this was a drop in the bucket.

Similarly, the cables, optical cables, and gas pipelines buried deep underground were all destroyed by the crystallizers. Maintenance personnel tried to enter the ground, but they were attacked by the crystallizers one after another. They were either killed or kidnapped. There was no news of the survivors. Assimilated into a part of the crystallized person.

In the middle of the night, the citizens collected strange sound waves, the sound was thick and hazy, and the singing of the crystallized people could only be heard after the sound quality was restored.

"—The most honorable Suzukawa Kii-sama... get up from the giant cocoon. Accept our love and fall before us—"

With so many crystallizers clamoring underground, Shangjing has become uninhabitable.

Du Qianqian received water and a cup of blood in the middle of the night, scaring her into talking nonsense until she was taken away by Wei Shiyue.

Therefore, Xu Yang took everyone back to Anjiu City first, and formed an expedition team, making sure to wipe out the threats brought by Suzukawa Jiyi and the Crystal Legion.

"The crystallization army operating underground has become a serious problem for the citizens of Shanghai," Xu Yang used the software to model the general situation of the underground area. The underground lines, caves and rat nests form a complex structure, and the terrain is complicated. "The Nisto company has signed a contract to intervene." Crystallization threatens, so we need to form a neat and capable team to explore the underground core, so that we can get the contract money and avoid breach of contract compensation."

When the original company alliance explored the source of the Rat Tide, it had already discovered a large cavity where the Ratman leaders lived. It was called "Number Zero Hub". It was a particularly large underground cave located at a depth of 850 meters.

Times have changed, and the route leading to Hub Zero has changed several times, but there are still traces to follow.

Ten years ago, in order to explore the ecology of the underground Ratman, a detection agency dug a small tunnel underground, almost to the vicinity of Hub Zero. The excavation was stopped due to the harassment of the Ratman, but a strange-shaped tunnel was left that can be used for entry. At the end of the tunnel is a light vehicle maintenance station. The scientific expedition team used this tunnel to collect some data reports about the Ratman, but the station has long been abandoned.

As long as you reach the maintenance station through the tunnel and blast the rock formation, you should be able to reach Hub Zero.

"Oh..." The witches understood the goal.

"Since its establishment, Nisto Company has gained a firm foothold in Anjiu City," Lila pointed out, "but our pursuit goes beyond that. If we enter Hub Zero and overcome the crystallization crisis, we will not only be recognized by the citizens of Shanghai, but also It will win the trust of many citizens in the northern archipelago, thereby building a public opinion foundation for a larger-scale expansion in the future."

"Those crystals are magic materials." Farosha reminded, "If you get dust and crystal fragments, be sure to bring them back to me."

"clear!"

As a result, a Nisto contingent was formed to explore Hub Zero, find Suzukawa Kii's body, and defeat the Crystal Legion.

Captain: Pan Ruiyi (ruler; specialized in melee combat, carrying the treasured treasure star gun. Former member of the riot squad, incomparable combat witch. Responsible for combat)

Vice-captain: Zhang Yunxi (superior; duplicating magic power; carrying a precision marksman rifle and a standard war spear. Pan Ruiyi's deputy, who has cooperated with him for a long time and has rich experience. Responsible for command)

Fighting Witch: 101 (upper position; teleportation; carrying a treasure trove of long-sighted orbs, equipped with a light rifle; son of phantom light; responsible for rapid transfer)

Fighting Witch: 102 (upper position; strengthen parts; carry the treasured spear of the broken army; son of phantom light; in charge of battle)

Fighting witch: Qianmeng (lower position; time stops; carrying a double-star ring, equipped with a small-caliber sniper rifle; experimental witch, responsible for fighting)

In addition, there are three Rat Man Sentinels, who are responsible for exploring the underground Rat Road in Shangjing; twenty "Sharp Soldier" armed synthetic men, who are responsible for providing fire support, thus forming a capable team of nearly thirty people.

Yoshioka Mizuiro's ink was very ineffective against Crystal Man, so he didn't participate in the battle.

Du Qianqian's disguise was also ineffective, because she had never seen Suzukawa Jiyi's body, and those walls of flesh and blood and cysts did not seem to belong to Suzukawa Jiyi himself, and they were less helpful to the entire operation.

"This is the fire seed of the moon flame, use it when necessary." Wei Shiyue left her moon flame in a box and handed it to Pan Ruiyi, "it can be used about four times."

"Okay, with this, no number of crystallized people will be afraid." Pan Ruiyi nodded, but she was still a little worried about the depths of the ground, afraid that there would be some strange creatures there, and the serene environment with nine twists and turns made her afraid.

"Let's fight happily." Wei Shiyue encouraged.

joy? not at all. Pan Ruiyi thought secretly.

To go to such a deep place, just thinking about it makes me tremble a little. Pan Ruiyi was worried, but finally found Xu Yang.

"When I get to the bottom," Pan Ruiyi asked, "can you keep talking to me in the headset?"

"The ground is very deep, and communication will eventually be lost." Xu Yang said, "But don't worry, I will always encourage you until the signal is cut off."

"That's good." Pan Ruiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yang suddenly thought of the previous incident. Pan Ruiyi once encountered danger in Nangong Island and was trapped in a deep cave in the mountain for many days. It was probably that experience that made Pan Ruiyi afraid of the underground structure.

"If you feel nervous," Xu Yang said, "let's change the method."

"No, I can do it." Pan Ruiyi nodded vigorously, "Isn't it the crystallized people in the ground, who can handle anything! But you have to keep talking. If I can't hear human voices deep in the ground, I really don't know what I'm going to do."

"Understood." Xu Yang understood, "...I will keep talking to you until I disconnect."

The real battle is about to start. With a decisive momentum, Pan Ruiyi is fully armed and leads the members of the Nisto task force to set off, preparing to break into the deep underground through the entrance dug by the detection company.

"Target confirmed." Lila released the magic power of perception, and caught a strong source of power in the haze, which was located in the approximate position of Hub Zero, "Action is allowed."

Be sure to defeat the crystal man and restore peace to Shangjing!
