Since entering this city, I have heard many weird urban legends."

Su Lin's hand pressed on a blue light display, and with a slight electromagnetic sound, the door of the wooden house opened automatically with a "squeak".

Even for such a primitive house, its security system still relies on technology.

"What urban legend?" Su Mingan said.

"People tend to hear whispers after dark, and occasionally see strange black shadows in the dark. Some people can even see themselves in front of the mirror with different expressions." Su Lin led him through the corridor: "It's like a very strange color."

ghost stories."

Su Mingan thought.

...A world that leans toward science would also encounter such weird things?

Reminiscent of "'Invasion from another dimension', and the blood-red magic patterns that appear in the eyes of the invaders - this may be a fusion of the invaded world and the current world. For example, the magical world invades the scientific world...

"Generally speaking, seeing such a weird situation can easily make people [emotionally overloaded]. Therefore, [Temple] also controls a task." Su Lin stood in front of an ice-white gate and performed an iris test.

:

"Such as the pharmaceutical industry."

"[Temple] is responsible for producing psychotropic drugs that suppress hallucinations and calm emotions."

Su Mingan raised his head.

When the door opened, a large underground facility like a factory appeared in front of him.

A light blue liquid tank, matched isolation glass, and a bright green biochemical liquid soaked in special tissue.

The pipes covered the gray-black wall, occupying a large area in his field of vision. Semi-circular waves of white foam rolled like snowflakes in the pool. In the semi-circular large window with thin colors,

The dark shadow of the steel axis frame is faintly visible.

Thousands of pairs of greasy, dull eyes were projected in their direction. They were dressed in eye-catching bright orange work clothes and hooded masks. Under the thick glass mirrors, pairs of bloodshot eyes were revealed.

"This is... the job of [Temple]?" Su Mingan said.

What a depressing atmosphere.

There are no windows, no place to rest, and harsh friction sounds are constantly heard. Working here is no different from being in jail." - One by one [Any scientific prototype has its dual image: ugliness in the embryo and beauty in the bud.

.]" Su Lin stood nearby: "At least people have jobs, a place to live, enough to eat, and no worries about life and death from being hunted. Isn't it reasonable enough?"

"Reasonable." Su Mingan looked at the people wrapped in orange: "Since we have rejected the concept of coexisting with machines, if we want to 'coexist' with other factions in today's era and society, it is necessary to find other means of research and development.

Drugs are a more reasonable option."

"Let's go." Su Lin said.

The door is closed.

While going up, Su Mingan stared at Su Lin's back in front of him.

...Even after entering this unprecedented technological city, Su Lin did not seem out of place. Instead, she adapted well and even put forward ideas on science and technology, although she borrowed the famous sayings of great people.

But this is also a manifestation of extremely strong 'adaptability'. People like Su Lin can probably get along well in any world.

"Do you want to try the new mental stabilizing drug?" Su Lin suddenly turned around.

He threw a small box to Su Mingan: "It can effectively prevent and treat whispers at night. This is a 'preemptive package', given to you."

Su Mingan picked it up and saw that there were twelve white pills inside.

"If you hear whispers, take one. This medicine is not cheap. Only people with wealth can keep it." Su Lin said: "The freedom and democracy of today's city-states are indeed a lie. Why are people with low-level personalities so...

It’s easy to be emotionally overloaded because they can’t even afford medicine.”

Su Mingan closed the medicine box with a "click". He was temporarily undisturbed by the so-called whispers. This should be a trouble in the later stages of the copy.

The longer they stay in this world, the deeper they, the players, may be assimilated, and the easier it is for this whisper to penetrate them.

wrong.

He suddenly remembered Noel's situation.

If Noel did hear a whisper but didn't say it...could this be a precursor to the blood redness in Noel's eyes?

—Noel heard the whispers from the other dimension, so his thinking was affected by the other dimension and he was invaded?

Why does this feel like it has something to do with the Ke system? Don’t look directly, don’t listen, don’t understand. Those who face it directly will be affected and then go crazy...

He vaguely felt something was wrong.

Su Lin walked to the top of the stairs. After the pupil scan, the small door made a "click" sound. "One by one, Su Lin, you brought a new person here?"

A lively voice came from inside.

This is a laboratory.

Several people in lab coats stayed inside. When they heard the sound of the door opening, a handsome young man with short hair, round face and almond eyes raised his head, with a childlike look on his face that was somewhat incompatible with his age.

.

"Is it our new colleague? Or is it your new student? I heard that you went to Ruzkebin Street in the Second Ring Road before. Did you find any good ideas...?" the handsome young man said, and then

He saw Su Ming'an following Su Lin inside.

At this moment, Su Mingan seemed to hear the sound of the young man's jaw hitting the ground.

The handsome young man suddenly lost his temper. He recognized Su Ming'an.

"He called you Su Lin?" Su Mingan looked at Su Lin.

"I don't like the name given to me by others." Su Lin explained lightly.

……oh.

He is really a proud former god who insists on calling his original name Su Lin.

"This is Dong. He has been overloaded with emotions all the time. He was almost killed. It was the Holy Church that discovered his talent for making drugs and maintained his mental state." Su Lin pointed at the handsome young man who looked like a child.

"Hello." Su Mingan said.

"" Dong stared at him, motionless.

[NP (winter) favorability: 90 (initial favorability) + 5] Seeing this value, Su Mingan was a little surprised.

Next to him, a researcher named Hang Qi spoke up. His initial favorability was only 30 points: "Su Lin, you are such a bold person."

Hang Qi was referring to Su Lin's behavior of letting Akto enter the temple under the whole city's alert.

"Take care of yourself." Su Lin ignored him at all and continued to point at people and introduce:

"Then, here are Mingzhi, Moji, and Ying. This is Khalsa, they are all my colleagues - by the way, in the early days of the establishment of the Dawn System, their fathers were the conservative class who resisted the Dawn System.

Before the rule of the Dawn System has been established, completely destroy the Dawn System. However...it is obvious that they failed, leaving only this group of lonely and helpless children."

...Your introduction is quite direct.

Su Mingan glanced at the researchers next to him, and there was no embarrassment on their faces when their family background was directly revealed.

"It's okay." Ming Zhi, a black-haired female researcher, said: "The Doomsday City was in turmoil at the time, and the conservative faction and the reformist faction within the city did go through a long period of factional struggle. However, they were all solved by the city lord. We were still young at that time.

, no hatred towards that.”

"The failure of our fathers was within our expectations. I have advised my father not to join the Dawn Resistance Army before." The middle-aged man next to him was leaning against the wall. He seemed to want to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't want to.

Dare to twitch, his eyes showing a bit of vicissitudes: "The reform of the Dawn System is the advancement of the times. How can anyone stop it?"

...it is truly a loving father and a filial son.

Su Ming'an discovered that these people did not hate him, and their favorability indicators were all above 4, even if Akto wiped out their ancestors.

If the new era replaces the old era, there will definitely be bloodshed. Historically, the rise of Asa Akto, the hero of Doomsday City, should not be smooth sailing. If Akto wants to change the past human rule and completely hand over mankind to the Dawn System, he will definitely

received strong backlash from the original ruling class.

...However, these original leadership groups obviously failed to resist successfully, and instead disappeared in the wheel of history.

That era, that time... it should have been a passionate era of revolutionaries living in blood and fire.

Rule by man and rule by machine, the replacement of old and new eras, secret keepers and betrayers, city-state rule and outer city peeping, battles between armies and factions... During this period, there are countless victims and idealists, and heroes emerge in large numbers.

History is always written by the victors.

Asa Acto won, and the rule of the Dawn System was successfully established. Therefore, those conservative classes disappeared into the dust of history, leaving only their descendants, generation after generation, integrated into the current life, and no longer want to do meaningless things.

Despite their resistance, they built a harmonious and peaceful city of measurement.

Epic history.

It is a pity that Su Mingan was at a point in time when the City of Measurement had been successfully established and was unable to witness the most chaotic period of history.

However, his current point in time can be regarded as a new "era change" because Asa Akto is no longer needed at this time.

It seems that he, like the conservative class before him, will become the "dust" of history.

"But in this way, my age..." Su Mingan muttered to himself.

Akto's appearance has always been relatively young, with no trace of time visible.

If we look at this timeline, this city lord rose up in the twilight years, led Doomsday City to defeat ten upper cities, defeated the conservatism in the city, and developed the City of Measurement to this day... He should be very old.
To be continued...
