Chapter 364 "Memory"
The old man still stood at the intersection of the long street at night, looking into the distance.
Just now, the guards came to report that someone violated the curfew ban and rushed out forcibly regardless of the warning as if he had hysteria.
Moreover, the huge noises coming from afar from time to time in the dark night and the shaking of the ground under his feet made people have to pay attention.
Since he was entrusted by the adults to control this huge gathering place, Kild felt that he had to at least fulfill his due responsibilities.
In this era, a full meal and a trust are equally valuable things. If you lose them easily, you can never find them again.
The old man's slightly tired eyes have been staring nervously at the direction of the darkness. The movement over there has stopped for a long time. What about those who broke out? When will they come back?
At some point, a darker shadow swayed in the mist at night.
Seeing that there was a figure coming in the dark, Kild was obviously a little alert. At the same time, he waved to Xu Ruoguang, who had been leading the team behind him, and signaled him to be on guard. At night, anything could happen.
Until they found out that the person coming was actually their own adult under the dim light of the intersection, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile bloomed on Gilder's face, "My lord..."
"Yeah." Bai'e nodded. The fact that he saw Gilder at the intersection entering the black street clearly showed the meaning behind it--
"Some of us here also went there?"
"Yeah... thirty-seven."
"So many..." Bai'e narrowed his eyes slightly, a little surprised.
Gilder kept looking behind Bai'e, as if looking for the figures of those people, "How are they?"
It stands to reason that since the adults also came from that direction, they would definitely not sit idly by and watch their own people or even ordinary strangers suffer.
"They can't come back..." Bai'e shook his head, "That's the movement caused by the devil."
Anyway, according to Franka, the ordinary people who faced the devil prince behind them would have to be sent back, and the whole thing had to be explained to Gilder. Now that they met, there was no problem in directly stating it.
"Oh~" Gilder responded with a low tone.
No matter how many times, the loss of life is always more regrettable.
On the contrary, Xu Ruoguang, who was leading the Black Street Guard, had his eyes light up when he heard the key words, "Sir, you said... you met a demon?"
Bai Er glanced at him and knew that this kid regarded all heretics as mortal enemies. It seemed that he was more involved in the game than other players, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, it was the underground arena. The long-term blood sacrifices and offerings made them twisted into a node for high-dimensional space invasion. The movement just now was mainly caused by a demon prince of the war system."
These things were all participated by the players. They must have communicated before. If they couldn't hide it, they might as well say it themselves.
Besides, there was no need to hide it. Covering it up would make people more curious and do some unknown things.
"Demon Prince?" Xu Ruoguang muttered this word, frowning slightly, as if he was a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah~" Xu Ruoguang looked up as if he had suddenly woken up. Facing Bai'e's concerned eyes, he shook his head with a slightly embarrassed look, "It's okay, I just... was distracted."
Distracted again.
The moment he heard the word "Demon Prince", a series of flashing pictures appeared in his mind - the huge starry sky ship that covered the sky and the sun silently opened fire, and the huge red body emerged from behind the turquoise planet.
Demon Prince... That should be the Demon Prince, right?
What kind of Demon Prince is it if he can only make the earth shake twice?
This thought flashed by, and Xu Ruoguang shook his head and laughed. He knew nothing about the Demon Prince. Of course, adults are more knowledgeable.
Is it the picture in the movie, TV and animation that I saw from somewhere before that made me have an unreasonable association? I just don't know where I saw it from...
The picture in my mind at that moment was quite real, full of oppression, just like... just like the person standing in the command room of a space battleship in front of me, facing the red body from afar through the transparent bulkhead, is myself.
The dream bubble of time finally condensed in his eyes and shattered silently.
Xu Ruoguang stood under the street lamp on the roadside and smiled.
Is it me?
Will I have such a day in the future? It is said that the prospects of this game are broad, and it is only a matter of time to enter the universe.
If one day I can lead a space fleet to conquer everywhere, it is exciting to think about it.
"..." Bai E retracted his gaze and said no more.
Players are absent-minded. They can be distracted while talking. I don’t know what they are thinking about.
Go to get materials for making equipment tonight?
"Let’s go. I remember asking you to build a clinic?"
Although the Black Street is small, it has everything.
Although this kind of spontaneous gathering place is insignificant in the eyes of most people in the city, each gathering place is also a miniature society.
To become a self-sustaining autonomous territory, production, medical care, living and other conditions must be equipped. It can be simple, but it cannot be absent.
At the same time, the Black Street is not big or small. Although there are not many talents with medical experience, there are still a few.
Relying on their limited abilities to diagnose and treat minor ailments such as headaches and fevers is not a big problem.
As for the sterile operating room, although it may not be used for the time being, Bai'e has already ordered people to build it, and it should have been built now.
Kilder agreed immediately, "Of course."
This territory itself is entirely for the service of adults. Everything can be postponed, only the orders of adults must be implemented at the first time.
"Lead the way."
"Yes!"
Walking forward, Bai'e glanced at the Black Street Guards standing farther away - that is, the veterans who were recruited.
Even though these veterans were born as artificial people, no one knows what kind of shape the prohibitions written into their genes will be twisted into after experiencing the dye vat of society.
In fact, even if they were recruited, Bai'e was not particularly confident about them. Hu went to them, and what he heard was not particularly good.
He had not been to the Black Street these days, and he would ask about Hu's situation later...
So Bai'e's attitude towards these veterans was a bit conservative, and naturally he did not want these people to know too much about Nova at this time.
So he said softly: "If you are fine, continue to patrol. You need to be vigilant every night."
Xu Ruoguang was looking at each other with his good friends at this time, winking and whispering something.
When he heard Bai'er's voice, his body trembled suddenly and stood still instantly as if it was a conditioned reflex, and he shouted loudly: "Yes! Sir!"
Turning around and looking at the veterans who were about to follow his footsteps, he gave a serious order, "Everyone, continue patrolling!"
"Yes! Sir!" The veterans said in unison, full of energy.
After experiencing the battle with the Eternal Corpse, although Xu Ruoguang was not a very trusted person in their hearts, as a temporary cooperative commander, he was still trustworthy.
The Black Street was not big, and the health center built was in the center of several streets, so it was reached in a flash.
"It's here, sir." Gilder stretched out his hand to lead.
The white walls exuded a soft glow, which seemed to be incompatible with the overall style of the Black Street.
The flawless pure white in the black was even more dazzling.
"There are medical examination equipment we purchased inside, which should be able to help you a little."
An old-fashioned equipment that has been used for who knows how many times has used up almost all of the savings of the black street. Gilder still remembers the seven beds that were sold together... They charged them one thousand black water coins for a piece of iron bed with no characteristics. It's just a beast!
However, at this moment, the tone was calm and a qualified housekeeper would never let the master feel troubled.
Money can be earned again if it is lost, and the orders of the adults must be thoroughly implemented.
"Okay." Bai'e smiled and nodded. Of course, some of the knowledge he mastered may come from the unreasonable extraordinary factors of psychic energy, and in addition to the "necessary components" in different situations, he can also adjust the process of performing the operation according to different existing conditions, but it is always easier to have the help of specific instruments.
Medical examination equipment is not necessary, but it is better to have it.
"I have to perform the operation on her first, you can move freely."
Bai'e didn't know why the players had been following behind him. He had already settled the reward for the task, so he used this as an excuse to send the players away.
If they really have something to say, they should speak up now.
"Sir..." Gong Yan came up, staring at Bai E with a pair of eyes, asking gently.
"Hmm?"
"I don't know if we can help?"
They have been following behind for two purposes, one is interest, and the other is utilitarianism.
Interest is of course to "see the plot".
Players' time in the game is sometimes precious, but it can also be wasted.
When you are busy, you have to fight for every second, and when you are free, you can spend all day to watch the game.
The white-haired NPC next to the sir is a new face in the organization, and he is powerful. More importantly, he looks good and seems to have some special feelings for the sir.
They instinctively want to watch the fun when they smell the gossip.
As for utilitarianism...
This game has too much freedom, and you may need to fight for many tasks to be triggered.
After following the obviously special NPC with a camera and watching a plot, you may be able to trigger the corresponding task.
Compared to the task chain with stable income, fresh and stimulating unfamiliar tasks always make players more excited.
Looking at the eyes of Gong Yan who made the application, Bai E roughly guessed what they were thinking from the perspective of the players.
"Maybe not for the time being, I have to perform a small operation on her, and I will notify you later if there is a need."
"Operation?" Gong Yan's eyes lit up, "Can I learn it, sir?"
The sir's ability is far above hers, and there is no obvious injury on the white-haired lady, so the current content is definitely not included in the "first aid" she has learned before.
Gong Yan is interested in learning these medical abilities.
"You learn it?" Bai E was stunned and smiled happily, "Of course."
While speaking, he manually added the knowledge he just clicked to the power store.
Power Store (Second Floor) Newly added: [Human Transformation Plan 1.0 Tutorial, Price-Basic Guidance: 25 points of power contribution; Professional Guidance: 40 points of power contribution; Master Guidance: 60 points of power contribution. 】
While adding, Bai E explained, trying to make the players believe that this is a logically complete and self-consistent game world, and that he absolutely did not have any shady operations. "Considering the different stages of development, you are not suitable for these deeper things before. I am afraid that you will waste too much energy on things that are not useful for the time being, so I will not let you touch them until now."
"Yeah~" Gong Yan nodded innocently.
Reasonable!
In many previous games, there were always players who wanted to delete their accounts and start over because they bought the wrong things and learned the wrong things. This game can actually help them manage experience intelligently.
Intelligent! Suitable!
"I'll learn!"
Since the adults think it can be opened to them, it means that they have recognized their current level and can accept more new things.
As for the 60-point force contribution requirement... For her who now has 330 points of force contribution inventory, it is a piece of cake.
Bai'e nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then you can come in too."
After layers of disinfection, he entered the specially built sterile operating room. Bai'e first scanned the entire structure of the room. His knowledge made him subconsciously aware of the role that the relevant instruments could play in actual use.
Through observation of the environment and the sorting out of knowledge, Bai'e already had a complete set of plans in his mind.
"I'll give you a basic physical examination first." He pointed to the direction of the instruments for the physical examination, and at the same time he walked to the corner of the room to change clothes and make more detailed preparations and disinfection.
"Oh~"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar furnishings in the room in front of her, Nova's expression at the moment was obviously a little timid.
The white operating room evoked her vague memories of the past.
Especially the "ding ling clang" sound made by Bai'e when he sorted out the instruments made those "distant" memories surge like waves.
The specific picture was already blurry, but one could vaguely see a tall figure with gray hair pulling off the leather gloves on his hands and holding up the silver surgical instruments towards his view.
Even more clear were the emotions that awakened along with these memories -
Fear, helplessness, confusion, fear...
My body was being manipulated at will in the cold touch, or even disemboweled?
A bright mist instantly rose from Nova's eyes, and those surging emotions instantly overwhelmed her entire mind.
"What's wrong?"
A gentle smile broke through the images in front of her, and a gentle voice sounded peacefully not far away.
