"How did you know the guards were coming?"

Bai Ye asked curiously.

Either Yuan Jie has been here for a long time and has rich experience. Or he has some special ability.

Sure enough, Yuan Jie smiled and said: "This is not difficult, because I am a [player]."

"There is a detection prosthesis installed in my body that can accurately distinguish human footsteps from various sounds."

Yuan Jie smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that this kind of prosthetic body would have no effect. Who would have known that it would actually have an effect in a place like this?"

Bai Ye suddenly realized that it turned out to be the role of the detective prosthetic body.

After a brief interlude with the guards, the two began to formally exchange information.

"You were arrested in Blackwater Town by disguising yourself as a strange servant, right?" Yuan Jie asked Bai Ye.

"Do you know what happened in Blackwater Town?" Bai Ye was slightly surprised.

When I was in Hongcheng, I collected a lot of information. But at that time, except for [Emma], there was basically no other source of information.

Even not far from Blackwater Town, no one I met had heard of this weird town.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jie knew about this.

Yuan Jie nodded and said: "This weird town has always been very mysterious. But in my work, I have come into contact with relevant information!"

"I used to be an ordinary clerk in the Department of History and Education in Hongcheng. I was responsible for sorting out various materials."

Yuan Jie introduced himself.

Only then did Bai Ye finally know what Yuan Jie's job was.

It turned out to be someone who compiled historical data.

Bai Ye knew clearly in his heart that people like him should be the ones who know the most secrets of history. A large number of things submerged in the torrent of history, things that ordinary people have never heard of, may be unknown to them.

It's a common occurrence.

"Are you an ordinary citizen of Blackwater Town?" Yuan Jie continued: "I have read in historical records that the main groups of people in Blackwater Town are divided into two types: ordinary townspeople and weird servants. Ordinary townspeople are actually

They are not much different from ordinary people outside, except that they are more unlucky and need to be controlled by strange servants and lords."

Bai Ye shook his head: "No, I'm from Hongcheng! This time I went to Blackwater Town just to explore, but unfortunately I was caught."

"Who would have thought that you could encounter the actions of the General Services Administration in a place like that?"

Bai Ye's words resonated with Yuan Jie.

"That's miserable enough! I'm the same as my brother!" Yuan Jie complained: "Do you know? I'm the same!"

Bai Ye is also very curious about Yuan Jie.

I really want to know, as a small official who studies historical documents, how could he be caught in a prisoner of war camp?

Anyway, these two things don't seem to be related at all.

I guess Yuan Jie’s story is also very legendary, right?

Looking at Bai Ye's curious eyes, Yuan Jie chuckled: "I also really want to tell my own story. However, our communication needs to be organized."

"How about you explain everything clearly first, and then I tell you all my story?"

When facing someone who really wanted to communicate, Yuan Jie not only did not talk nonsense excitedly, but was quite rational and even planned everything for communication.

It seemed that when he was alone, he had reviewed this kind of thing in his mind countless times.

Bai Ye naturally had no objection. He simply told Yuan Jie his experience.

Born in Hongcheng, he entered Blackwater Town due to exploration.

While exploring Blackwater Town, I was unlucky enough to encounter Operation Men in Black from the General Services Administration.

He also told some things about Blackwater Town that Yuan Jie was interested in.

Of course, less than half of what Bai Ye said was untrue.

For example, he was not born in Hongcheng. He just lived in Hongcheng for a while.

He is not going on an adventure, but looking for the Blue Flower of the Other Side to save his life!

Bai Ye deliberately did not tell the truth to Yuan Jie about these things.

First of all, this information involves important aspects of his identity and cannot be talked about indiscriminately.

And even telling Yuan Jie would not do any good to their situation and actions.

Bai Ye thus chose to partially conceal it.

Yuan Jie didn't notice anything was wrong, and his eyes lit up when he heard what happened in Heishui Town.

"It's true! They don't even turn on the street lights at night... I would like to know how the electricity is connected in such a remote town? After all, in historical documents, the location of Blackwater Town is constantly changing. It's really mysterious

ah."

Yuan Jie said with emotion.

Bai Ye stared at him with bright eyes: "Okay, I've basically finished talking about my business, now it's your turn."

Yuan Jie did not refuse and said directly: "I am a native of Hongcheng. I have been a minor official responsible for sorting out historical documents for several years. I thought my whole life would pass like this."

"Who would have thought that I was suddenly promoted two days ago! And it's a real-power job of the National Defense Agency."

"I never imagined that I would have such luck. At that time, I was just thinking that there was smoke coming out of my ancestor's grave, and I was so happy that I drank for two days."

"Then he was arrested by people from the General Services Administration!"

Bai Ye was confused: "Just because of drinking? Why are you being arrested?"

Yuan Jie shook his head: "Of course it's because of the war! The war is about to start. People from the General Services Administration are searching for powerful officials in the city to reduce the pressure of their attack."

"It wasn't until I was imprisoned here that I realized that my promotion was a trap. I just became someone else's scapegoat."

"I've been talking to people here for a long time, but the people in black at the General Services Administration can't do anything to get any really key information from me. After all, I've never been in office before."

"What an injustice! It's a pity that the General Services Administration clearly knows about this kind of thing and has no intention of letting me go. I can only wait here to die!"

After saying that, Yuan Jie looked quite depressed.

Bai Ye comforted him with a few words, and suddenly noticed something in Yuan Jie's words.

"War? What war is about to start?"

Bai Ye asked.

Yuan Jie raised his head: "You don't know about the war? It's impossible, right?"

"As early as three days ago, the news spread throughout Hongcheng! Don't you have access to the Internet?"

Bai Ye had a bad feeling in his heart, and he said anxiously: "No, I have entered Blackwater Town before. There is no Internet there!"

Yuan Jie nodded: "That's true, I almost forgot this..."

"I have some sad news for you: Hongcheng and the Federation are about to go to war!"

"What did you say!!"

Bai Ye was shocked!

Hongcheng is about to go to war with the Federation?

How can this be!

Although Bai Ye knew that the situation in Hongcheng had always been complicated, there would be an undercurrent.

But I think I can maintain the calmness on the surface for a long time.

No one expected that he would undergo such earth-shaking changes in less than a week after he came out!

Even something as big as direct war!

Bai Ye suddenly remembered that during the treatment, it was clear that the next step of the treatment process could be carried out, but [Emma] hurriedly urged her to leave!

Are you just afraid that you will get involved in a war?

Bai Ye thought of the people he met in Hongcheng: Ilsa, Qiao Wei, David...

I wonder how they are doing now?

Bai Ye's mood was extremely complicated.

Yuan Jie also knew in his heart how big of an impact such big news would have on people. He thoughtfully said nothing, but silently waited for Bai Ye to recover.

After a while, Bai Ye finally raised his head: "I can't believe it... I never thought that the war would come so quickly!"

"You are an official of the city hall. Do you know what is going on? What is the reason why Hongcheng and the Federation are about to go to war?"

To be honest, Bai Ye knew that there would soon be a war between Hongcheng and the outside world before this.

But what he didn't know was that the target was actually the entire Federation!

To be honest, although Hongcheng is very large and technologically advanced, its scale is too small.

Compared with the entire federation, it is no different than the size gap between an ant and an elephant.
