Chapter 38 Underground Action

'Dream of Glass' Anducia's glass room.

In the verdant vine flower room, a gentle sound of strings being pulled rang out, but after a few beats, the music stopped and then started again.

Heshia closed her eyes, gently supported the neck of the violin with one hand, held the bow with the other, and pulled it gently, looking for the sound.

Not far from her, Anducia was preparing flower tea, slowly pouring hot water into the teacup, and then sitting aside and listening quietly.

The girl did not learn quickly, her technique was very awkward, and she often interrupted in the middle. It took a while to find the right position again and start again.

However, it was gratifying that she seemed to have no impatience or emotion, just like a quiet orchid, carefully and carefully familiarizing herself with the instrument in her hand.

In this way, until the end of the lunch break, the girl slowly opened her light blue eyes and slowly put down the violin and bow in her hands.

Anducia clapped her hands lightly and looked at the girl in front of her with a smile.

"Very good, Danterian, you have improved a lot compared to yesterday."

"Thank you." The girl carefully put the violin back into the case and closed it.

Since she agreed to Butis's request, she would take time out of her lunch break and after work every day to practice. This violin belongs to Andusia. It is said that when she first came to the Glass Dream, she would also play the violin for customers, but now she rarely does so.

After putting the violin back to its original place, Heshia said goodbye to Andusia, then carried her black and white skirt through the flower house surrounded by vines and went to the place where she would work in the afternoon.

In this way, she finished her work until the simulated sky in the store slowly changed and the red clouds reflected in the sky, and then she went to Andusia to continue the previous practice.

Time passed day by day, and gradually, under Andusia's teaching, Heshia gradually became familiar with the way to play the violin, and now she could also start to learn the first song.

"Then let's do this 'Canon in D'." Andusia thought about it and chose a classic song for Heshia.

After selecting the music, Andusia handed the music score to Heshia, asking her to familiarize herself with it and memorize it in the next few days.

"That's all for today. Have a good rest when you go back. See you tomorrow."

After leaving 'Glass Dream', Heshia went to the staff floor upstairs to change her clothes, and then returned to the direction of home.

While waiting in the vertical elevator, the girl remembered something, took out the personal terminal in her pocket, and flipped through it. During this week, she was immersed in violin practice almost every day, and she rarely even read the messages in the class group.

"Millie's re-examination results are out."

"Passed?"

"Passed, I saw the list of names announced by Sreb Academy."

"So fast."

"Each school is different, it depends on the arrangement. If you get admission invitations from several academies, you can carefully select."

After that, Heshia opened the historical records and found that many classmates had started to participate in the re-examination, and some even received the list of names that passed the re-examination.

As long as the re-examination is passed, the rest is basically a matter of going through the process, receiving a formal invitation letter, and then reporting for admission.

"The list of names for Irene Academy is also out." Someone suddenly said in the group.

"Let me see."

Heshia also clicked on the public list with expectation, and finally found her name after scanning it.

Fortunately, she finally felt relieved.

However, when she saw the time of the retest, she was in trouble again, because this day happened to be the same day as "Yuanting Academy". If she wanted to participate in the retest of Yuanting Academy in the North District, she would definitely not be able to go to Irene Academy.

It was a difficult choice. The girl looked at the date displayed in her personal terminal and estimated in her mind.

She was very confident that she would pass the retest of Irene Academy. After all, she had been preparing for a long time, but she didn't know much about Yuanting Academy. But if she gave up such a good opportunity just for this reason, it would be too regrettable and disappointing.

In any case, she should start preparing first. Maybe there is still a small chance for her to make time, such as going to Yuanting Academy in the morning and going to Irene Academy in the afternoon.

Thinking about things in her mind, the girl didn't pay much attention to the situation around her on the way home. It was not until she arrived at the residential area that she found that the atmosphere today was a little wrong.

Many people gathered in the spacious corridor, talking about something, and a loud voice was heard in the distance.

"Please note that from today, the D390 industrial area and the adjacent F31 residential area will be completely blocked. No one is allowed to enter or approach!"

Heshia was a little puzzled, and then she saw a temporary notice posted on the wall of the corridor.

"Regarding the blockade of the F31 residential area and the prohibition of entry and exit"

means that residents of the area should not enter, and even approach it. Even if your relatives and friends are inside, do not try to climb over the blockade to enter or exit, otherwise it will violate federal laws, etc. Below is the seal of the Arpeggio Municipal Government, and there are emblems of multiple departments. It can be seen that the local government attaches great importance to this matter. There are even police cars parked outside the blockade area, and white-clad policemen are constantly patrolling.

Curious about what happened, Heshia opened the local forum and saw many people discussing this matter online. It was roughly said that this was a follow-up action of the last out-of-control person's riot. It was said that something serious had been found, but the news was also blocked very strictly.

It's getting worse. Heshia turned off the screen and continued to walk home.

Although she was an eyewitness, she thought it was just an accident at the time. Unexpectedly, it was just the tip of the iceberg. Now it is getting worse, and the bigger iceberg under the water is slowly hitting it.

D390 Industrial Zone, 69 floors underground.

This is the lowest area of ​​the city. The air is humid and hot. Huge dark red steel pipes are running across the shuttle. The heavy sound of forging machines can be heard in the distance. They keep hitting at a certain frequency, and the huge echo vibrates in the pipes.

No human figures can be seen in the harsh industrial environment. Only lonely orange LED lights reflect this steel jungle-like environment.

Stepping on the steel fence with dark red anti-rust paint, there was a metallic clattering sound underfoot. Three people wearing dark blue goggles walked in. They were wearing yellow uniforms with black edges. They were not official personnel of the Federation, but members of a private firm that cooperated with the Federation.

"What's the situation, Luther?" Yang Che was on guard in front with an unlocked electromagnetic rifle. The two people behind him, one holding a special scanner to search, and the other carrying a heavy firepower box to look around.

"It should be nearby."

Luther looked at the 'Eight Mountain Plate' in his hand. According to his constantly adjusting frequency and changing exploration methods, the plate showed different data, trying to present the surrounding situation from multiple dimensions.

"The Eight Mountain Plate in my hand has been greatly disturbed. This is something I have never encountered before. The other party may have mastered some special means." Luther frowned.

"It must be that the conventional methods can't handle the Arpeggio City Government, so they hired us, otherwise why would they be willing to spend money." Yang Che shook his head, and he was already accustomed to the troubles encountered at work.

When the federal government comes to the door to issue a task, you must be mentally prepared to face all kinds of troubles, because if the matter is simple, they will not spend this money to find them.

"The other party is a very cunning element. According to the current intelligence, he should have been lurking in this milk factory before, using the equipment in the factory to make a batch of drugs."

"When this drug is added to milk, it will produce a certain degree of addiction, thereby greatly increasing sales."

"Didn't the federal testing department find out when he did this?" Luther asked puzzled.

"It depends on which department. If the products of this milk factory are only sold locally and not shipped to other cities, only local institutions will inspect them. Arpeggio City is not a big city, and the inspection department is relatively easy to fool. No, maybe there is no need to fool them. As long as you share some money, those people may turn a blind eye." Pascal responded to his doubts. He, an old hand, has long been accustomed to such things.

"If it is just addictive, it would not have come to this point today, but this guy said he was lucky or crazy and discovered something new."

"It is said that as long as you drink that thing, your mental consciousness will be strengthened, making it easier to succeed when you advance."

"This..." Luther was also surprised.

"If it succeeds, it will be at least a T3-level special elixir, and the price of one portion is more than hundreds of thousands of federal coins."

"Unfortunately, his invention is not a serious thing. Although mental awareness is enhanced, the side effects are even more frightening. It can make people mentally confused, lose their memories, and turn them into lunatics."

"But as a researcher, he is not surprised. There must be many problems with the initial test products. As long as they are continuously improved, they will be fine."

"So, he found a lot of people to experiment with. First, he seduced and deceived the other party, and then disguised them as high-level elixir smuggled from the prosperous star field. In this way, he can not only receive a large sum of money, but also make the other party lose their vigilance."

"Every year, there are people who fail to advance and have problems in practicing the extraordinary sequence. If the local government had not suddenly become alert this time, it would probably take a long time to discover the abnormality."

"I don't know about that. Maybe this time the local government suddenly had a conscience and did its job." Yang Che shook his head. As an important member of the firm, he often dealt with government officials. He didn't have much hope for the character of those people. It was a rare existence for them to be able to complete the most basic job.

"Okay, the break is over, let's work hard, I hope we can catch the big fish this time."

After a short break, the three continued to walk through the underground industrial area filled with misty white fog. In their ears, besides the sound of their own footsteps, there was only the roar of steam from time to time.

The heat emitted by these factory equipment will be absorbed by the water flow in the pipes, and then evaporated. Part of it will be used to generate electricity, and the remaining waste heat will be brought to the surface by the water pump for circulation and heat dissipation.

An hour later, the three came to a dead end, and in front of them was a sealed steel wall with "Do not approach" written on it with spray paint.

Luther looked at the scanner in his hand. "Although it is sealed, according to the display on the Eight Mountain Plate, the back is actually empty."

"This is the 70th underground floor, right? If we go down further, we will break through the urban area of ​​Arpeggio City."

"Who knows? The number of floors in many underground cities is not reliable. Some illegal residents, criminals, and even fugitives will gather in these areas. Maybe there will be a gray area under the 70th floor of Arpeggio City."

"Do you want to go in?"

"Old Pa prepares to blast. I will report it and Luther will be on guard." Yang Che made such a decision.

"Okay."

After the division of labor, several people immediately started to act.

Soon, a burst of explosions sounded underground, and then a large hole was broken in the sealed steel wall.

The three climbed up the big hole, flipped in, and then observed the situation inside.

"The good news is that this is not a gray area, which means there are no obstacles from those criminals." Luther used a light to search the dark underground.

"The bad news is that the rock wall here is moist, and there may be an underground river below. The other party may use the underground river to escape." Pascal said.

"If we let him run away like this, we will lose two-thirds of our commission." Yang Che lightly pushed the goggles on his nose, and then used the auxiliary AI to continuously analyze the environment below, looking for signs of someone passing by before.

"Tsk, it's really not a good thing."

Luther spat, put the Eight Mountain Plate on his waist, and then jumped down. Several shining points of light spilled out from his hands, followed him down, and illuminated the surrounding environment like flares.

The dark rock walls, moist moss plants, and rugged slopes passed by one by one in the field of vision, and then a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner and rushed straight to the shining point of light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots in a row, the blue trajectory flashed in the darkness, and the unknown creature that rushed out was directly smashed into pieces of meat.

Yang Che in the back continued to hold the electromagnetic rifle in his hand tightly, aiming at the ground, helping Luther cover, and kept firing until the other party landed safely underground.

Seeing that no more shadows were coming out, Pascal also jumped down with a black and red heavy firepower box. He was sturdy and wore a thick bulletproof lining, like a gray rhino.

When he landed, a splash of water splashed up, and even crushed a few fragile stones.

Finally, Yang Che jumped down. Just when the three thought that the creatures on the way had been cleared, another shadow suddenly jumped out and pounced on Yang Che in mid-air. At this time, his electromagnetic rifle was on his back, and it was too late to draw the gun.

However, this operator was already familiar with this kind of emergency. He instantly pulled out the hilt of the sword at his waist. With a buzzing sound, a bright yellow lightsaber suddenly lit up in the dark.

'Bright Flow Cutting Light' [Rare Golden Grade], a rushing lightsaber with the special effects of 'blazing electricity' and 'penetrating magic', which can be instantly charged with the magic of the spirit sub-sequence. It has great lethality, but also consumes a lot of energy. A standard sequence 5 extraordinary person can use it continuously for 1 minute.

The blade is like countless bright yellow electric fires entangled. When it cuts the black creature, it emits dense electric sparks like firecrackers, not only directly cutting the opponent, but also a burnt smell is overflowing in the underground space.

A few seconds later, Yang Che fell to the ground, and the lightsaber in his hand had long been extinguished and put away. At this time, pieces of charred minced meat fell from the air, and bursts of white smoke floated in the air.
