Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 251 Towards the End of the Sky
"The transfer application was rejected again?"

"Ah."

"How many times has this happened? The fourth time? The fifth time? According to the regulations, you have to wait another half a year for your next application."

"Ah."

"If you ask me, why don't you just continue to be an ace agent? You have more authority, less work, and most importantly, no one will dare to talk nonsense about you. Why do you have to transfer to a management position?"

"Ah."

The man who spoke first paused, then exploded in anger.

"Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, why don't you just die? Why do you keep hmming your head?" Holanson said angrily, "You have watched the Sun Celebration several times, and you still insist on watching it from a distance. Are you playing dumb in front of me?"

Hearing these words, the man who was standing by the viewing fence and looking down finally turned his head.

The air flow from the temporarily docked observation platform module outside the shuttle was whistling in the face, making the corners of the two people's clothes flutter and even the sound was slightly distorted.

However, for the two ace agents of the Security Bureau, both of whom have reached the third ring of psychics, this distortion does not affect communication at all.

Looking at his partner who was in a state of frustration, Ning Tong's usually meticulous face suddenly showed a hint of helplessness.

"I'm not watching the Sun Festival, I'm maintaining order"

"If you find terrorists who are not from the Enlightened, you don't have to worry about them. Fubo Energy can handle them on its own."

Hollandson interrupted him: "If you can find the terrorists from Enlightened Ones so easily, they should stop thinking about rebelling against the company. I suggest you find a class and try to be a salary thief to see if you can bring down the company."

Ning Tong ignored the other party's ridicule, paused, and said: "What about you?"

He stared at Hollandson. "I'm really not good at detection. You're much better than me at this. Do you see anything?"

The man knew very well how strong his partner, codenamed "Crosshai", who was at the third ring [Transcendence], was in "detection" in order to assist in beyond-visual-range sniping.

"No, I didn't even look at it."

Hollandson shook his head, fiddled with the old revolver, exhaled into the muzzle, and said lazily: "My salary is not paid by Fubo Energy, why should I work as a security guard for them? Don't I want face?"

"Besides, the General Administration sent us here to help Shang Qiu and contain Fubo Energy."

At this moment, a security special police officer standing not far away felt sweat dripping from his body as he listened to the two people beside him, especially Hollandson's blunt words. If the shuttle was not located at a high altitude, he would have wanted to jump down directly.

You are "ace agents", fierce and good at fighting, so it doesn't matter. I just want to make a living in the Security Bureau, but I don't want to be involved in any major schemes that may wipe out my family or even cause genetic extinction!

At this moment, the special police officer couldn't help but think of the situation when he first joined the Security Bureau -

That was his first field mission to suppress a cyber psychopath. The cyber psychopath was a former mercenary and was somewhat famous. His prosthetics were not bad and were specialized for combat. Even if they arrived in time, the mad enemy would have turned the street into a scene from a third-level plasma film.

The bureau had already set out ten casualty targets, and his master was also on standby, sweating profusely, while at the same time teaching him on the spot how to escape in order to minimize the severity of the punishment.

Then, when they were preparing to form a tactical formation to engage in battle, a figure descended from the sky, and in just a few breaths, he subdued the cyberpsychopath, and even in the blood and spare parts on the ground, he disassembled the opponent's limbs and cut them into human sticks for easy arrest.

Later he found out that the other person was an "ace agent" who had just returned from reporting and was about to start a long vacation. He happened to hear about this field mission, so he came to help.

"Criminal investigation ability? Case handling ability? Good skills? Reputation in both the black and white worlds? Able to make a living?"

In my memory, my master, the middle-aged man who liked to collect protection fees from street vendors, shook his head after hearing that I wanted to become an ace agent. He pressed down his cigarette hard and said, "Wrong, none of this is important."

"Besides loyalty, even 'loyalty' is negotiable! The only thing an ace agent needs is strength! The ability to fight!"

The middle-aged man was melancholy, but sneered: "When the company's shuttle breaks into the crime scene, when the mercenaries who have accepted the job want to cause trouble, when the missiles flying out from nowhere are about to hit our heads - what we need is someone who can take action to shoot them down at that time!"

"These are the so-called ace agents! What do you think they are? They are just mercenaries who are a little more legitimate in the name of the Security Agency!"

“—Don’t scare your colleagues.”

Ning Tong frowned slightly. He pressed his right hand on the railing and tapped it lightly. The water vapor diffused in the surroundings gathered quietly, forming an imperceptible mist. While covering the vicinity of both parties, it also blocked the sound, making the special police officer unable to hear the conversation.

The third link [Dayuan], some application skills related to "water".

After doing all this, he said, "Ace Agent, you know, I can't do much in this position."

Among the many positions in the Security Bureau, "Ace Agent" is a position with a certain non-staff nature and purely combat duties.

It certainly leaves those in charge with fewer constraints and considerable authority, allowing them to act as they please to a certain extent, but it also eliminates the possibility of "management" - this is the limitation.

The ace agent's free will only applies to "himself", while the overall planning and deployment of the Security Bureau's administration, negotiations, etc. must be handled by the management level of the administrative sequence. The latter may not necessarily be unable to fight, but the ace agent can only fight.

Ning Tong looked into the distance again. The magnificent sky fleet was sailing slowly through the city in the bright sunlight. Every time it arrived at a new area, there would be a huge wave of cheers amid the fluttering flags.

After so long of publicity and welfare campaign by Fubo Energy, the cheers at this moment were somewhat sincere. In the golden light cast from the sky, the whole city was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

——In order to welcome the Sun Celebration and a large number of tourists, things that seriously affect the city appearance were cleaned up or put away half a month ago.

Things that are really difficult to deal with in a short period of time, such as slum buildings that have been stacked and intertwined for many years and have grown upwards, have been automatically blocked on the electronic map of Zhuguang City, and navigation has been cancelled. At the same time, the ultra-large optical imaging module equipped with the [Macrostate Light Energy Matrix] has temporarily covered these areas with a new and beautiful illusory curtain.

In this way, even if someone intends to take a bird's-eye view of the entire city in an attempt to discredit Zhuguang City, they will never succeed.

A bright and prosperous city of Zhuguang.

It is a miracle created by many people working together day and night with great passion.

"Shang Qiu is about to step down. After the election, the top leadership will have to undergo a major change." Ning Tong stared ahead. "You know the direction of the wind now. The newcomers will no longer remain neutral, but will lean towards one side. They will most likely choose Fubo Energy."

"The results we have achieved over the years can be respectfully sent back by those guys overnight. There is too little that an ace agent can do, so I must get a management position in the Security Bureau of Casting Light City."

"So what if I get it?"

Hollandson shrugged, leaning against the railing, and turned his head to glance at the fleet in the distance. "To be honest, what's the use of just a 'Ningtong'? Even if I say it harshly, can you beat our director with one finger?"

The director he was referring to was naturally not the director of a local branch of the Forge Light City Security Bureau, but the chief director of the government security bureau of the entire corporate alliance, the one who had reached the fifth ring of [Consensus], "Mind Image Regeneration", Paddy Morse.

But even as the director general himself, he was also restricted in front of the nine god-like giant enterprises and could not do much.

It's already a waste of effort for the other party to be able to maintain the autonomy of the Security Bureau - strictly speaking, the headquarters and some local branches, without being infiltrated like other government departments and becoming a dog led by the company.

In this case, even if you were promoted directly to the director of the Security Bureau of Zhuguang City, what can you do?

Moreover, some people knew Ning Tong's plan, so his transfer application was repeatedly rejected. They couldn't stand the days of being caught in fear between Qiming people and giant companies. They finally waited for Shang Qiu, who insisted on neutrality and independence, to step down, so how could they let Ning Tong come in again?

Ning Tong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We have to give it a try."

"Then you might as well go directly to Enlightened Ones." Hollandson commented: "At least they really dare to tear off the heads of the top executives of Fubo Energy."

"Things haven't come to that point yet." Hearing this, Ning Tong shook his head: "Fubo Energy has too much control over Zhuguang City. As long as they want, they can shut down the energy supply network of the entire city. You know what this means."

"Whatever you say." Hollandson said nonchalantly, "Let me make it clear in advance that I will never interfere in these matters. I will only be an ace agent."

He paused and said, "I'll try to help you when you are dismissed and liquidated. Don't think too much, I'm just trying."

Ning Tong nodded, and when he was about to say something else, the sky suddenly darkened.

It's not an exaggeration.

——At this moment, the sky as far as the eye could see seemed as if someone had splashed thick ink on it, and it darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The sky was sinking, the clouds were retreating, the sun was extinguished, not even a single star could be seen, it was completely "eternal night and darkness"!
There was a brief chaos on the street, but the well-prepared surveillance drones equipped with night vision modules and security personnel quickly stepped in and controlled the situation with extremely rare efficiency, arresting or dealing with several criminals who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Soon, the street below began to light up again, illuminated by holographic billboards and colorful neon tubes. Although it was not as bright as when the sun was shining not long ago, it was bright enough for people to see the surrounding environment clearly.

After all, in this era, most people's eyes have long been replaced with artificial eyes.

While some tourists were still confused and panicked, a prepared short message with Fubo Energy certification was delivered to their mailboxes in time, reminding everyone that this was a normal part of the Sun Festival and there was no need to worry. Suddenly, the sky brightened again.

It was not the brilliance of the sun, but a solemn and luxurious feast.

Streams of wine and honey flowed in the banquet hall above the clouds. Young girls and young servants, wearing thin veils and with graceful postures, had contented smiles and light steps as they carried huge golden plates filled with delicacies and fruits, and presented them again and again to the gods seated at the banquet.

The gods laughed wildly, sometimes putting down their food to applaud and admire the bravery of the gladiators fighting in the center of the banquet, and sometimes they were delighted by the graceful dance of the dancers and threw large pieces of jewels and gold ornaments to scatter them all over the ground.

Even though we know that these are not real, they are just the stage sets created by three-dimensional holographic projections.

However, after receiving the commercial commission from [Fubo Energy], [Dust Contract Generation] mobilized several well-known production teams to create this. With the blessing of extremely high aesthetic design and top holographic technology, this super-large holographic curtain set that covers the sky and stretches as far as the eye can see still gives people an immersive feeling.

People can even smell the real, luxurious atmosphere of the banquet, the sweet and rich wine, the perfectly grilled meat, and the body fragrance of a young girl's breast milk - that is the swarm of micro-drones quietly releasing chemicals to artificially simulate a complex smell that suits the theatrical environment.

This is a regular feature of every Sun Festival.

——The "mythical curtain" originated from the Rocard myth!
The huge fleet of shuttles following the main ship "Bordeaux" included both armed models responsible for security and performance-type shuttles that were currently focused on "landscape creation" and "stage construction."

Soon, the noise from the crowd below gradually died down.

Because the mythological drama has officially begun.

The man, who was covered in thick oil paint but still had a strong physique, suddenly stood up from the table and walked to the center of the banquet step by step under the confused gaze of the gods. The dancers who were originally singing and dancing were stunned for a moment, and before they could say anything, they retreated at the signal of the man's eyes.

"The great king of gods, the supreme sun god, and my father who raised me—"

Through the display of the camera and the external screens, the audience can still clearly see the man's face even though they are very far away.

His expression was pious and compassionate as he slowly knelt on the banquet floor that was transformed from the theater airship deck.

Some locals have already started to introduce their own myths and folklore to the ignorant tourists around them with great enthusiasm. The person they played was Dadasoya, the "light thief" who occupies an important position in the Rokar myth.

And some people have already recognized the true identity of this actor.

"This man is Ishua?"

"What Ishua wait, that Groden?"

"Let me think about it! Shit! I have an impression! That 'Groden's Conscience'?"

"Didn't he claim to have left the family a long time ago? How did he appear here? And become an actor?"

"Are you an idiot? You believe the words of a company dog? Your family treats a traitor, and you let him play Dadasoya? Don't tell me you don't understand the importance of this role!"

"Fuck you! I was moved by his deeds when I watched a short video last month! It turns out I was fooled again!"

But the progress of the drama will not be slowed down by the noise below.

Under the sky that was trapped in eternal darkness and controlled by the "Macro-State Light Energy Matrix", Dadasoya pleaded with tears to the Sun God, who was sitting at the head of the banquet, begging Him to withdraw His punishment and bring the sun's light back to the world.

After a brief moment of surprise, the sun god became furious.

He was furious, and in front of all the gods, he whipped Dadasoya three times with a long whip, and kicked the bruised and battered Dadasoya out of the banquet.

The door engraved with gorgeous patterns and reliefs slammed shut. Dadasoya stood in front of the door in a daze. He did not stumble down from the clouds until the faint sounds of unbridled singing and dancing began to sound again from behind the door.

Steal the fine wine hidden in the cellar of the god of wine, sneak into the banquet that is still going on day and night in disguise, pour wine into the spring to make the gods drunk, take the golden bottle of the sun god, and fill the wine cup with flowing sunlight.
Even the locals of Rocar, who were already familiar with this story, had to admit that they were still addicted to the drama performed by Fubo Energy with extremely high standards.

Tourists from other places were already mesmerized and enjoying this holographic feast. Some fans who came here for the purpose of "support" were even more excited when they saw the characters played by their idols.

at last.

The drama has reached its final stage.

——The light thief named "Dadasoya" will run around the world with a wine cup filled with sunlight in his hand, bringing light to dispel the eternal night and darkness to the mortal world!
Dadasoya carefully held up the wine cup. He was silent and slowly stepped over the drunk and unconscious gods lying on the ground. He walked out of the banquet gate, passed through the solemn and sacred temple, and came to the top of the clouds in the sky.

Then he stopped.

The crowd below was stunned, thinking that this was an established plot, and waited patiently.

It was not until a long while later that they realized that the other party was just silent and standing there motionless, and then they began to realize what was happening and gradually became agitated.

"My fellow countrymen."

Then, "Dadasoya" spoke.

His gaze passed over the held wine cups, over the various custom-made, expensive suspended stages, and finally stopped at the people on the street below.

"People who don't know me, people who know me, people who sneer at me, people who are angry at me, people who support me, people who used to support me but were disappointed not long ago"

The man's voice no longer had the rhythmic tone he used to perform the drama. Instead, it sounded a little deep: "And to those who once supported me and chose to believe in me not long ago."

"At this moment, I am not trying to explain what I did. No words can explain it." The man paused and said slowly: "I just want to explain it."

"I understand your doubts at this moment, just like every day in the past - did Ishua Groden deceive you? Did he use hypocritical behavior to exchange for a whitewashed good personality? Did he already have his heart filled with disgust and hatred while helping those so-called lower-class people?"

"I..." The man shook his head and said calmly, "Any answer from me is too weak."

"But I want to say something."

His eyes slowly lit up. Amidst countless gazes and in countless live broadcasts, the man slowly raised the wine cup inlaid with treasures. Among them, a list slowly began to rise. It kept expanding, and people subconsciously opened their eyes wide, trying to see the contents clearly.

And in the next moment.

A deep stream of light suddenly rose from the street below.

It was a dark firework.

It suddenly rose up, leaving a burning trail behind! It instantly melted through several unsuspecting drones along the way! With an undisguised terrifying momentum! It stretched straight toward the sky!

The gods in the sky were instantly crushed into ashes by the fireworks. The atmosphere was boiling and burning, surging and surging, but the black fireworks still did not stop, and were about to shoot down the sun god's patrol vehicle "Bordeaux" and burn it into insignificant ashes!

The unique skills that the free bounty hunter "Nan Dou" used to carry around the world are one of the testimonies of his life's cultivation and experiences.

"Good afternoon, everyone—"

Pitch-black flames swirled around the young man, a burning flame that even the eternal night and darkness could not resist.

【Dayuan】A new existence accommodated by the path.

This world has never seen such a creation before, a creation born from the name "Nan Dipper".

It was as if endless black flames were running wildly, and several wisps flowed out, and then suddenly stretched to become two black flame wings that dragged behind the young man, constantly deforming madly and forcibly contracting.

Carrying their masters, they rushed straight into the sky!

Self-created psychic skills...

Like the black flames around his body, Song Shi's eyes had turned completely black at some point.

Only a narrow strip of pure red gold remained at the location where the pupil originally belonged.

Amid the howling gale, Song Shi opened his terrifying eyes, and his spiritual power reached its peak in an instant.

Then, laughing wildly, he blasted towards the huge airship above without hesitation!
