I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

"The CEO's phonograph?"

Shi Yu murmured unconsciously, remembering that the prototype of this thing was called "Reis's Phonograph".

With a mix of curiosity and doubt, Shiyu sat down on the sofa, reached out and pressed the handle of the phonograph, and began to turn it clockwise.

Glug glug glug...

sizzle-

A series of strange noises rang out, and as the handle suddenly jammed, a deep, hoarse voice came from the phonograph's loudspeaker.

Don't even think about going back to the past. From the moment it was born, Hafk was destined to go global.

Unfortunately... the world is now balanced by three major powers. We can win, but only if we pay any price!

Because the phonograph was old, the sound coming out of it was a bit choppy.

Shi Yu rested her arms on her thighs, leaned forward slightly, and listened silently.

But the next moment, a familiar, magnetic voice suddenly rang out. It was... his voice, no, to be precise, it should be the voice of Geheros.

He was dignified and heavy-hearted, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

So, you plan to use this to pave the way for your great undertaking?

【certainly.】

Those maggots who peered into this world through the barrier between worlds would never have imagined that one day they would be sent into this world themselves.

They can help us create chaos, which will disrupt the world order. That will be the best time for us to strike!

As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell into an eerie silence. Shi Yu looked up at the gramophone but made no move.

Just when he thought there was no more news, conversations started coming from the phonograph again.

Geheros seemed to be losing control of his emotions, and a tremor could be clearly heard in his voice.

Have you forgotten what you promised me?!

I can sacrifice myself for order, for the stars must return to their orbits, and evil must be judged!

If you now ask me to personally destroy the order, then I will be nothing but an empty shell. I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill your wish.

The next moment, a huge gunshot suddenly rang out, like a cannonball booming!

[Bang! Bang! Boom—]

Shigure even heard the sound of an explosion...

"This isn't a noise a gun could make."

Shi Yu pondered for a moment, and at this moment only Jacob's voice remained in the phonograph.

"You're so forgetful. I'm the one who installed the brain-computer interface on you, Geheros."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu's eyelids twitched violently, and whether it was his imagination or not, his temples began to feel hot at that moment.

I will not stop. I admire your order, but I trust my own judgment more than order. With the rebirth system now in existence, Hafk will have more than just the sky.

With it, our clocks can return to their starting point, but we may never be able to go back to yesterday...

He spoke as if he were talking to himself, yet his words were surprisingly firm.

Shi Yu leaned back on the soft sofa, her brows furrowed.

Don't ask me again when the war will end; that word isn't on Hafk's agenda.

From the air raids at the opening ceremony of the space city to the bombs at the Babel Tower Raleigh press conference, people are unwilling to believe in the good intentions of idealists; they only believe that bullets are the truth!

His voice grew increasingly impassioned, and his speech became faster and faster.

We have no choice; we will not only wage war in the north or south, but fight across the world, unleashing the global power to drive the great cause that Hafk seeks to create!

The world goes left, Hafk... goes right.

[Gheros, we'll meet again someday.]

thump——

The conversation ended there, and the phonograph fell silent again.

Shiyu's fingertips tapped silently on the sofa armrest, making a soft, rhythmic sound, and she remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he sat up from the sofa without taking the gramophone with him.

Firstly, there's nowhere to store it, and secondly, this ability is currently useless to him.

Just as Shi Yu was about to push open the door and walk out, her raised foot suddenly dangled in mid-air.

"Did I forget something?"

Shi Yu thought for a while, when Song Lanfeng's reminder suddenly came to mind.

He seemed to say that there were three red blankets placed together.

Of the three red items for sale, one was an Impressionist painting hanging on the wall, which Shiyu could see as soon as she looked up, and the other was this phonograph.

There's another red one...

Shi Yu turned around and began searching the room. He opened the two safes and obtained three gold items and two purple items.

Shiyu did not take the items and closed the security door again.

He had just roughly figured out something.

That is, the prison instance he opened seems to be the same as before he left.

In other words, his prison will not refresh as usual, and the total number of items for sale in the prison is fixed regardless of how the instance is opened.

The idea of ​​opening a dungeon to farm red items was thus abandoned. Shigure didn't think too much about it and continued searching in the collection room.

After searching most of the room, Shigure finally found something special in the coffee table drawer.

【Name: High-speed air guide clamp】

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: When I was a kid, I watched this episode and my punishment was tripled]

[Ability: High-speed gas channeling (increases rate of fire by 30%, making gunshots extremely terrifying.)]

"...This is the first time I've seen the word 'horrific' used to describe gunshots."

Shigure had considered many possibilities, but he never expected this to happen.

"So this thing really exists."

Shigure took out the Ash-12, looked at his beloved gun, and suddenly fell silent.

"I remember the Ash-12 isn't a gas-operated type, oh well, let's install it first."

Putting aside his scientific knowledge, Shi Yu reached out and forcibly installed the high-speed air guide ring onto the Ash-12.

Click—

As if some special switch had been flipped, the Ash-12 clicked, and the entire gun felt different to Shigure.

"Hiss... Why did you put an accessory on the gun? I feel like I've become more complete."

Shi Yu felt a shiver run through his body, and only after the strange sensation gradually subsided did he step out of the collection room again.

At present, no player has been able to obtain the room key to the Warden's Collection Room, so Shigure doesn't need to worry about the items inside being stolen.

After closing the door again, he walked out along the corridor.

The conversation she had just overheard kept echoing in Shiyu's mind, and she felt uneasy.

"It seems this time-travel thing really is related to the CEO..."

"But they actually call us screen-peeping maggots, huh?"

Shi Yu suddenly smiled. He reached out his right hand and touched his white mask. Beneath the mask, a chilling aura emanated from him, not from the warden, but from Shi Yu himself.

"Gheros is dead, but I am still alive."
