Chapter 461 Crazy Thoughts

Orange and red lanterns were hung, carp-shaped self-discipline units swam over the night market, and celebratory music was playing. Because of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, a large number of tourists gathered in the commercial district, and the shops on the street were crowded.

"This is for Tilan."

Yilin squeezed out of the crowd, holding two newly bought candied haws in her hand, and handed one to the girl.

"Thank you, Yilin."

Tilan, who was waiting at the door of the store, took it. If it wasn't for Yilin's insistence, she wouldn't have thought of squeezing in to buy it in such a crowded store.

Seeing Tilan take the candied haws and take small bites in her palm, Yilin couldn't help but want to laugh and thought it was very cute.

Tilan is still the same as before. She obviously likes to eat, but she is afraid of trouble. If it is very troublesome to eat snacks, she often won't eat them.

In the past, when she was in elementary school, the teacher often used delicious ice cream to tempt them to complete activities and tasks. Tilan was like this. If it was simple, she would try it, but if it was too troublesome, she would avoid it.

Walking down the street, the two held hands, eating candied haws while talking about the airships and fish lanterns flying overhead, and then commenting on the new things they encountered after coming to the Central Star Region.

The brittle and hard candy shell was bitten off, and then there was the red hawthorn inside. The hawthorn was very sour, and you couldn't stand it if you only ate a few, but with the sweetness of the sugar neutralizing it, it became sour and sweet, and the taste kept changing, and it was very delicious.

"There are many powerful people in the Central Star Region. In my class, everyone is Sequence 4. If you switch to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, you can reach Sequence 4 when you graduate from high school, which means you are in the top 3% of the crowd." Yilin is also Sequence 4 at present, but her strength can only be considered mid-level, not outstanding.

"How is the Golden Flame Flower Academy that Tilan went to? It is the number one school in the Federation, and the competition must be very fierce." Yilin asked curiously.

"As for the competition, it doesn't seem that fierce." Tilan pressed her finger lightly on her chin and recalled.

"The freshmen are still in the freshness and curiosity of knowing each other, and the senior students are also doing what they are passionate about. It will be busy, but the pressure is not great." She is a singer, and can easily sense the status of others. The students in the school are indeed rarely as anxious as those in high school.

"It may be because the school's teaching methods are different. The university encourages students to move forward according to their own preferences and goals, and then rewards you according to your progress and progress." She remembered the imitation game mechanism mentioned by Eluklu.

"Is that so." Yilin didn't understand it very well. It might be that the styles of the two schools are very different.

Her university is a business university, which mainly trains company managers. Such competitive professions will naturally be more anxious and involuted. As the first university in the federation, the Golden Flame Flower Academy is obviously more idealistic. Moreover, as students of the Golden Flame Flower Academy, they are all top geniuses among the crowd, and they don't have to worry about making a living in the second half of their lives, so their state of mind is completely different.

Generally, it is very good for college students to graduate with Sequence 5, and there are many students of the Golden Flame Flower Academy who graduate with Sequence 7. They are geniuses who are really sought after wherever they go, so naturally they don't have to compromise their ideals for a living.

"I'm so envious." After listening to Tilan's story, Yilin couldn't help but sigh.

"Yilin can do it too."

Tilan's words were not a comfort. In her eyes, although Yilin's talent for cultivation was not top-notch, her mentality had always been very good. Even though she came from a good family, she was still diligent and hardworking. She had her own ideas and opinions. Such people would not have bad achievements in the future.

"It's okay, I'm just sighing." Yilin replied with a smile. She had gotten used to it in the past few years. After all, there were not many singing girls in the entire federation, and it was normal for her to have a gap with Tilan.

"There's a cold drink shop over there. Why don't you go sit for a while? I'm tired." After saying that, she pointed to the sign not far away.

Tilan nodded, and the two walked through the crowd towards the shop.

When the two came to the sign, they found that the store was on the third floor. When they walked up the stairs, they saw that the store was full of tourists, and the tables were also filled with various drink cups and food plates that had not been cleared in time.

Amid the noisy voices, Yilin leaned over to Tilan's ear and said, "How about Tilan wait for me downstairs? I'll buy it and then meet up."

The air here was stuffy, and she knew that Tilan didn't like standing here and being watched by others, so she asked her to go downstairs and wait.

After thinking for a while, Tilan nodded, and then told Yilin that she didn't need to buy too much.

Seeing Tilan walking down the stairs, Yilin looked at the queue of more than a dozen people in front of her and walked over.

Speaking of which, Tilan is still about the same as two years ago, and her height is also about 16-17 years old. Just now, when she looked at Tilan walking down the stairs, she felt like she was looking at her sister.

When Tilan was a child, she was very shy and didn't like to squeeze in crowded places. Although her strength is definitely not bad now, this personality and habit have not changed, which makes Yilin feel inexplicably kind and funny.

If only she could stay like this, although she might not grow up, Tilan was very cute and likable.

While Yilin was waiting in line, Tilan also walked out of the stairs and found a corner of the street to wait. It was close to a branch road and there were fewer people.

Leaning against a lamppost nearby, the girl lightly lifted her heels and gently placed them on the base. Then she raised her eyes and looked at the colorful laser beams sweeping across the night sky and the large airship flying slowly.

In terms of population density and passenger flow, the Central Star Region and the Four-Leaf Crystal are completely different. She sighed in her heart.

Even the most prosperous commercial street in the South District of the Four-Leaf Crystal would not be crowded like this. The streets were very spacious and people could never be full.

In the high night sky, the large carp airship slowly turned its direction. A few small red dots fell rapidly from the position covered by its top, drawing an inconspicuous trajectory in the night sky and rushing to a corner of the commercial district.

What is this? Tilan looked at this scene with a little surprise.

Although most people didn't notice it, with her visual and perceptual abilities, she could clearly see what these small dots in the cover of the night were.

These were all fully armed autonomous units, and the barrels hanging on their sides were also of a special shape, and they were definitely used with enchanted bullets.

Could it be that there was an accident in the business district? But these autonomous units didn't look like they were from the police. After reading the internal information at school, she had a clear understanding of the military and police structure of the Federation.

The riot control units and auxiliary autonomous units used by the police generally had to be announced when performing their missions, and they would not be equipped with such high-powered bullets that were prone to accidental injuries.

It might be the transfer of some official organization. It is hard to imagine that in the central star field where the security level is so high, there would be illegal organizations and carry such high-powered lethal weapons.

The girl was looking for an excuse, but she also became a little curious about what these guys were doing.

After tapping the ground with her heels twice, a large spider covered with fine frost hair appeared at Tilan's feet.

"Go and have a look, and be careful to hide well." The girl told the big guy. Compared with the past, the big spider is now one meter long.

"Hiss~" The big spider responded with a sound, and then quickly jumped into the shadows and disappeared.

Although the big spider's combat power is not particularly strong, in terms of concealment ability, as a withering sequence and mastering the space shuttle skill, it can be said to be top-notch. Whether it is a body that is hollow or hiding in the space gap, it can avoid all kinds of detection.

Half a minute later, following the autonomous unit that swooped over the head, the big spider quickly moved through the shadows until it arrived at an uninhabited alley.

This should be a cheap apartment residential area for those who work in big cities. There are also a few simple shops and entertainment facilities around.

In the night sky, those autonomous units entered a quiet gliding state, and then landed one after another, moving quickly in the dark corners, constantly bouncing and climbing, and then gathered at a certain location.

The big spider hiding on the side wall of the apartment building watched this scene and followed.

Although it didn't know much about human society, it had seen a lot of these autonomous machines and roughly understood that someone was controlling and dispatching them.

Soon, after breaking into a certain area, it was as if it had broken into a "membrane". From the outside, a fierce battle was going on in the dark alley that was silent.

The autonomous units that arrived quickly took their positions, then jumped up in an instant, lying on the walls on both sides of the alley and firing, with bullets slanting.

The violent bullet-induced shooting sound scared the big spider and it continued to sneak out after a while. Although it was a sequence 5, it could not withstand the intensive shooting of such enchanted bullets.

The subsequent battle entered a strange stage. The broken human bodies gradually gathered together. The dark red flesh and twisted appearance made people feel uncomfortable. The resurrection and granulation growth afterwards surprised the big spider. It was also the first time it had seen such a strange scene.

No one taught it, but its instinct told it that it would die if its head was broken, but the unknown creature in front of it twisted common sense.

In the subsequent battle, although the gray-fir man once suppressed the opponent with the pale holy flame, he gradually weakened as his magic power was consumed.

Seeing the flesh and blood monster sucking the two bodies it killed, the big spider felt that the battle was hanging. If it waited any longer, the man on the opposite side would definitely die.

Even if it didn't care about the life and death of strangers, its instinct told it that this flesh and blood monster was very abnormal. With Tilan's character, she would probably stop it.

It's better to go back and report. It's impossible to defeat it.

Jumping off the wall, the big spider disappeared silently in the night, and the two sides who were concentrating on the battle in the distance did not notice the traces of other beings slipping away.

Half a minute later, the tentacles made of flesh and blood were raised high, imprisoned the black-haired gray-fir man, and slowly corroded and assimilated.

In order to resist and perish together, the gray fir man's body ignited pale flames again, constantly burning the flesh and blood that entangled him, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker. Various hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes, including people he was familiar with, people who should have died in his memory, and some people he had never seen before.

Some of these figures walked past him, some talked to him, and some spoke, but he didn't understand a word.

I still underestimated my opponent. If I had known that I would wait for a while and let "Black Crow" come to help, the two of them would not have fallen into this situation.

"The Joker" always appears and disappears mysteriously. Even their organization has spent a lot of effort to find out the whereabouts of the other party, and they are not sure when the other party will disappear again, so this action can only be carried out hastily.

"Black Crow? It seems that you have accomplices, hehe."

The flesh and blood monster holding the gray fir man spoke again. This time, its shape is closer to human again, and it has grown a mouth that can speak, but the flowing big eyeballs on its face still give people a sense of horror.

No wonder the other party has been wearing a purple tights to cover his whole body, and even his face has to be covered with a clown mask. It turns out that he is not a human.

Although his brain was dizzy and various hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, the gray fir man still barely noticed the changes in the monster below.

"Ugh--" A strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged up, as if a fist was inserted into his lungs and pushed out the gastric juice in his stomach. This severe pain and discomfort made the man barely conscious.

"Haha, your will is really strong. You haven't fainted yet." The other party slowly put the man who was held high up, and then swept his arm across, smashing the surrounding self-discipline units again.

"You didn't expect that this time you would fall into my hands."

"I originally wanted to kill you, but after knowing that you are a member of that organization, I suddenly changed my mind." At this time, a dark purple potion slowly appeared above the man's head.

"If I give you this experimental drug, what will happen?"

"You will definitely not die, but you may become a madman in the future. However, since people like you have made a lot of contributions to the organization, they will definitely not give up on you."

"Think about it, the former hero has now become a weirdo who is always sabotaging and even gradually twisting his mind. How pleasant and exciting it is."

When he opened his mouth, the potion bottle opened, and several tentacles opened the man's mouth, forcing the rich purple-red liquid into the man's mouth.

"But if it's like this, it's a bit boring. Didn't you just say that I'm a genetically modified monster? The drug I'm injecting into you now can also gradually change the genes of the cells in your body, slowly infecting and replacing them."

"In this case, what will you become? Whether it is according to federal law or the regulations of your own organization, this kind of monster must not be able to survive."

"This is really interesting. I really want to see what expressions your companions will show when they see you again. Will it be relief, disgust, or despair? Hahahahahaha——" The cruel and arrogant laughter resounded in the alley.

The man who was fed the drug twitched on the ground, twisting his body unnaturally, and growling from time to time, extremely painful and depressed.

At this time, on the wall of one side of the alley, a black-haired figure slowly and silently fell down, and his smart eyes turned around, overlooking what was happening below.
