The West Thirteenth District is a legend in Nedel City
This legend is as mysterious and unpredictable as No. 5 Courtyard on the west side of Nai'an Governor's Palace, and is full of horror...

If you want to evaluate a story about Nedel City, these two places will definitely be ranked in the top two. They become those bad bastards who want to deceive the little girl and light a candle in the middle of the night to tell the end of the horror story.
Good topic.
Courtyard No. 5 on the west side of the Governor's Palace is the office of the Security Department of the Flying Eagle Group.
In the eyes of the ignorant Nedel people who don't know the truth, the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Group Security Army is a strange building, with a large pentagonal shape, and a huge emblem inlaid on the top in front of the door. On it is a picture of a bird spreading its wings.
flying eagle.
Although the lines look simple and rough, they still show the ferocious look of the carnivorous raptor.
This badge alone makes even timid people feel frightened when they see it.
Not to mention, the unique design of the Pentagon means that even on a bright sunny day, most of the rooms cannot be exposed to sunlight. Therefore, it looks particularly gloomy.
In fact, this place is already filled with all kinds of weird and terrifying legends. Some people even said that they would see ghosts when passing by there.
The 13th District in the West of Neidel City can be compared with the Security Army Headquarters because it is the famous 'Manhattan Water Supply and Drainage Engineering Equipment Scientific Experimental Research Institute'.
Although this name is very stylish, smelly and long, it is difficult to remember, and for ordinary people, this name is a little confusing and confusing. As soon as you hear it, you know that it must be that Luo Luo who is scraping the land again.
Peeling... Bah, bah, bah, was started by Lord Luo, the most respected, admired, and greatest governor among everyone.
But despite this, for the sake of easy memory, everyone generally refers to the so-called 'Manhattan Water Supply and Sewerage Engineering Equipment Scientific Experimental Research Institute' as the 'Naian Alchemy Research Institute'.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people.
For those who know the truth, the most terrifying place in Naider should be the Eagle International Financial Center to the west of the Governor's Palace. Because that is the headquarters of the venture capital company.
However, the existence of the venture capital company is highly confidential, and few people within the Flying Eagle Group even know about it. Therefore, its reputation is not very prominent.
For the Nidel people who are full of pride and gossip spirit, it is enough to know the Pentagon and the Manhattan Engineering Research Institute.
Just the secrets and gossip here are completely satisfying to brag to the country bumpkins who immigrated from poor areas. They were stunned for a while, and then with the unique sense of superiority of the Naian people.
, looking at their silly expressions for fun.
The legend of the Security Army Headquarters comes from its horror and its legendary ability to enter and exit. I only saw people being pulled in, but I never saw anyone being pushed out.
The legend of the Alchemical Institute lies in its mystery and wonder.
Things that come out of West Thirteenth District, whether it is a steam engine or a train, whether it is an artillery piece, a ship, or a telegraph machine, can often shock Nedel's eyes.
Everything that comes out of there can excite the Nedel people for a long time, making them feel itchy in their hearts. They can't help their curiosity and want to find out what's going on in West Thirteenth District.
But basically anyone who wants to get into the 13th West District will be sent to the Security Army Headquarters at No. 5 West of the Governor's Mansion without exception. And then... and then nothing happens again. It's as if that person has never existed.
Same,
If you are lucky, after thirty or fifty years, you may see someone you know before at the gate of a certain quarry or coal mine.
From this alone, we can know how tightly guarded the entire West Thirteenth District is.
Five miles away from the West 13th District, there is already a sentry post of the city defense troops at the intersection.
This entire neighborhood belongs to researchers and their families. They not only work here, but also live here. They are also extremely familiar with each other.
Therefore, outsiders cannot sneak in at all.
The Institute of Alchemy in the center is a large area, consisting of more than a dozen large and spacious courtyards.
There are no signs in any of the courtyards, making it impossible to tell which one is the research institute and which one is the residential area.
People outside can't even tell where the institute's gate is. For security reasons, except for a few places, no signs are posted on the various institutions of the Institute of Alchemy.
Except for the internal staff of the 'Manhattan Water Supply and Sewerage Engineering Equipment Scientific Experimental Research Institute', no one can figure out what the different parts do. To be precise, even the internal staff of the 'Manhattan Project' are only familiar with the place where they work. Once
If they took a few more steps, they would still be confused.

Edwood turned himself into a shadow and carefully avoided patrolling soldiers all the way to the West Thirteenth District marked on the map.
Hiding in a dark corner, seeing no one around, Edwood finally stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "It's just a small town, but there are more patrols on the streets than Akadelin.
How afraid of death is this guy Lorraine?"
But then, when he looked up, he saw a large dark building in front of him under the night cover, and Edwood was immediately dumbfounded.
He lowered his head and looked at the map. The hand-drawn map in his hand only marked the general scope of the West Thirteenth District. Nix himself was not even sure how big the West Thirteenth District was.
Edwood went a little crazy and muttered in a low voice: "How am I going to find so many places? The spies under Hadou are indeed a bunch of losers.
They have been working here for two years and they can't even confirm the exact location."
"Who's there?" Suddenly a loud shout came from the corner.
Edwood was horrified and thought: It would be terrible if he was discovered~!
But for a moment, there was nowhere to hide. In desperation, he gritted his teeth, quickly raised his figure and jumped into the air.
Three security guards dressed in black emerged from the darkness. They ran over with crossbows in hand and searched the area carefully.
"It's strange, I clearly heard someone talking."
"Wild cats, there are suddenly a lot more wild cats here recently."
"..."
While the three people were talking, the light of the flame came from the other side.
A security officer, leading a large group of security soldiers, hurried out and asked nervously, "What's going on?"
"Report, I heard some noise."
The officer asked urgently: "Is there anything?"
"No, nothing was found. It might be a small animal." The security soldier shook his head.
"Is this a false alarm?" The officer looked around and then said: "Be careful lately. The big boss has written a letter saying that things may not be peaceful recently. Brothers, please be more vigilant. There are two posts here."
"Yes~!" Everyone saluted in unison, then dispersed and went back to their posts.
Edwood had been hiding high in the sky, watching the security soldiers below slowly dispersing, and thought to himself: The soldiers here are very vigilant. This is not the way to go.
When he left, Nix had expressed that he was not optimistic about the outcome of his trip. Even Nix did not dare to live in the original place and left in a hurry for another hiding place.
Edwood was arrogant and did not want to be looked down upon by an ordinary human being, even though he could kill them all at any time.
What's more, Edwood also understood that if he wanted to steal the manufacturing technology of cannonballs, he only had one chance.
Once his whereabouts are exposed, the people of the Flying Eagle Group will immediately be on guard, making it impossible for him to take action again.
They will even send cardinals and paladins to hunt him down with all their strength - after all, Lich Doctor Edwood is not only the traitor and shame of Maple Leaf Danlin, but also the shame of the entire continent. His phylactery is important to every saint.
For the people of the Guang Continent, this is an unparalleled achievement.
Moreover, now that the idiot Usipeter has been exposed because of his early action, Lorraine and the maintenance team will definitely be alert, and there is not much time left for Edwood.
"Let's do it tonight~!" Edwood made up his mind and muttered to himself: "I have to think of a way."
"Yes~!" Edwood's eyes lit up, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he secretly said: "I'm not afraid that you won't reveal any flaws."
Edwood looked down at the dark buildings on the ground in mid-air, and soon discovered the train tracks at his feet. The tracks led straight into a large house, and the light was still shining there at the moment.
"That's it." Edwood swooped down from the sky, landed lightly in the yard, and took a look at the large three-story building in front of him.
Edwood smiled proudly, flicked his finger, and a little will-o'-the-wisp appeared on his fingertip, and then with a flick, the spark flew towards the roof.
The tiny green Mars quickly grew in size during its flight, and by the time it landed on the roof, it had become as big as a millstone.
As soon as the turquoise translucent flame touched the roof, it immediately burned violently. In the blink of an eye, half of the roof was on fire, and the flames shot into the sky.
The flames immediately attracted the attention of the on-duty personnel. They ran out of the parking lot and shouted at the top of their lungs: "It's on fire. Someone come and put out the fire!"
The alarm bell was sounded urgently, and the "dang-dang-dang-dang" sound alerted the entire West Thirteenth District.
The lights everywhere lit up one after another, and security soldiers ran out from everywhere and rushed to the workshop where the train was parked.
He panicked and threw himself into the work of putting out the fire.
The director of the security department on duty in West 13th District is a commando team leader. He is wearing a silver and black security army uniform and is very conspicuous in the crowd.
The captain is an old soldier in his forties or fifties. He is calm and calm, and does not panic at all times. He looked at his subordinates who were running around like headless flies in front of him and shouted angrily: "Why are you panicking? Just stop it."
The security soldiers immediately stopped after hearing the order and looked at the angry boss in front of them.
The captain pointed at the officer beside him and said loudly: "You, take someone to pull out the locomotive first."
The officer was stunned for a moment and said, "But it's on fire inside."
The captain was so angry that he kicked the man and cursed: "You can't put a pig's brain on a steel chain and pull it out. Besides, the roof of the house is just burning."
The officer suddenly woke up and rushed forward with his soldiers.
"You~!" The captain pointed to another person and said, "Go and push the water truck.
You, go gather people to watch the fire and don't let the flames spread.
You, check all the gates carefully and don’t let the onlookers take the opportunity to sneak in..."
The captain quickly assigned the work. After everything was almost explained, the captain glanced at it and said: "The person in charge here, come here with me."
A polite middle-aged man carefully moved to the captain's side.
"How the hell are you on duty?" the captain scolded him, "Are you blind? How could there be a fire and the locomotive burned down? Believe it or not, the big boss will chop you into pieces."
The middle-aged man's face turned pale with fright. He waved his hands repeatedly and said anxiously: "It's not me, it's not me. This has nothing to do with me. Someone...someone saw someone setting...arson."
"Arson~!" The captain's expression changed, he grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to him, and shouted loudly, face to face: "What the hell is going on?"
The captain's Tumo Xingzi sprayed the middle-aged man in the face, and he said with a sad face: "I didn't see it, my subordinates saw it. Milian said he saw someone throwing a torch on the roof."
"Are you sure?" the captain asked nervously with a straight face.
A weak voice came from the side and said: "Yes, sir, I'm sure. I did see a black figure, lift a torch and throw it on the roof, and the fire started immediately."
The captain was startled for a moment, pushed the middle-aged man away, and said solemnly: "Someone has infiltrated in~!
Emergency plan, red alert.
Request help from the headquarters, summon all personnel, guard the entrances and exits, and strictly investigate suspicious persons.
Evacuate the researchers and send additional manpower to various key laboratories for defense."
Following his order, the security forces in the West Thirteenth District quickly took action, and the entire West Thirteenth District became very lively, with figures everywhere running by in a hurry.
Such noise has awakened the residents of nearby Neidel, and the affected area has rapidly expanded.
The captain thought for a while, then waved over an officer and said: "Fasil, lead your squadron to guard the information room. Don't leave no matter what happens. It is the most important place in the entire West Thirteenth District."
"Yes, I understand~!" The officer raised his hand in salute and said loudly: "First Squadron, follow me, target the First Archives Room."
Edwood turned into a burst of black smoke, suspended in mid-air and quietly observed the movement below.
Everyone's attention was on the fire scene, and no one would look up and notice an inconspicuous black spot in the sky.
After hearing the captain's order, Edwood smiled proudly and thought to himself: "If I was worried about where I couldn't find it, wouldn't these idiots just take me there obediently?"
Edwood tiptoed in the footsteps of the First Squadron and followed them to the courtyard in the center of West Thirteenth District.
This place has been surrounded by three layers of security soldiers, and the newly arrived reinforcements have surrounded the nearby courtyard.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to sneak into this place.
"It seems that this is it." Edwood was secretly proud and thought to himself: "The next thing is to wait for these people to relax their vigilance."
A burst of neat footsteps came clearly from not far away, and the sound of thousands of pairs of leather boots hitting the ground was shocking.
A large group of security soldiers dressed in black were running along the street, heading towards the West 13th District.
When the soldiers quickly ran through the originally quiet streets, they shocked the whole city. The people opened their doors and windows and looked west, knowing that something terrible had happened.
Edwood's heart sank. If these reinforcements were added, it would be impossible for him to sneak into the data room quietly, and it would be much more difficult to escape.
"Can't wait any longer~!" Edwood gritted his teeth, turned around and flew around the illuminated yard, dropping flames in several different places, igniting the buildings there and causing chaos.
Finally, a mage spotted Edwood's figure in the sky and shouted: "It's a mage, that guy is in the sky."
Then he took off into the air, chasing Edwood behind him.
Edwood turned around and threw himself in the direction of the central data room, flew over as fast as he could, and then hit the roof of the data room straight like a stone.
The security soldiers on alert nearby watched in shock as a silhouette fell from the sky and hit the roof of the reference room.
After a loud "bang", bricks and stones flew.
The mage chased after him, stopped suddenly in the air, and said hastily: "That man is a spy, catch him."
The soldiers who reacted turned around and knocked against the iron door of the reference room, only to find that no matter how hard they tried, the door would not budge.
The windows of the reference room are covered with one-inch thick steel bars, making it impossible to get in or out.
The door is built very firmly for safety, so even if it is hit with a sledgehammer, there will be no problem.
"Go up to the room and enter through the roof." The officer outside ordered loudly.
Edwood broke through the roof, slammed into the room, and then jumped up from the ground in disgrace.
Ignoring his torn clothes, Edwood looked around nervously.
There were iron filing cabinets attached to the walls on all four sides, and each cabinet had a bright, oversized iron lock hanging on it.
"It looks like this is it." Edwood was delighted, and then raised his hand to use a simple mana shield to block the holes in the doors, windows and roof.
The cabinet with the iron lock can block ordinary people, but it cannot stop the dark mages. With a casual stroke of Edwood's finger, the iron lock was neatly broken and fell to the ground.
Edwood couldn't wait to open the cabinet and saw that there were neat files and documents inside. He took out a copy. The cover of the file box said "Principles of Wheeled Automatic Machinery", and the name below was actually signed by Luo
Lin himself.
He took out another one, which read "Mechanical Theory of Wheeled Machinery - On the Great Force", followed by a line of small words: Top secret, for internal viewing only, and may not be taken out or copied.
The first author on the back writes Lorraine's name, and the last one writes Jedi's name.
"Who is Jedi?" Edwood wondered. Ordinarily, someone who could be listed alongside Lorraine's name and write such a treatise on alchemy shouldn't be an unknown figure.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now."
Edwood laughed loudly and swept the entire cabinet of documents into the bag.
Opening another cabinet, there was a model of a steam engine on the cabinet. Edwood took out a copy, which read "New Era Energy Conversion Structure."
In the next cabinet, there were actually design materials about trains, and Edwood's phylactery trembled with excitement.
