In the night, a huge motorcycle with yellow-brown stripes passed by, raising countless dust.
They are getting closer and closer to the factory that is about to explode.
The factory that was found to be secretly making rose perfume was built in the suburbs. At this point, it happened to be the time when Su Chao and the others went to investigate.
Su Chao held a gun specially made by the Heresy Bureau close to his side, leaning against the factory door and carefully looking inside.
After looking around on both sides, Su Chao walked out. He lifted his neckline and said to the mini-biography microphone above:
"No one, safe."
At the same time, there was a response sound from his headset:
"Team Su, we don't have it here either, safe."
"Second district is also safe."
"... The three districts are also safe, Team Su is so strange..." The voice in the headset paused hesitantly, "It doesn't look like someone is working here at all. The ground is all gray, and the latest footprints are our own. "
"When we came to inspect this factory last time, it was not like that. This time it seems to have been abandoned for several years..."
Su Chao had clear eyes and a calm look: "Don't panic. It is very likely that a new heresy associated with dry leaf rose has appeared, or it is this new heresy that has derived dry leaf rose."
"This should be the ability of this heresy."
Su Chao continued to look down. He stepped on the open-air plaza covered with withered branches and arrived at the dormitory where the processing staff was. Kicked through the crack at the bottom of the door that was cocked because of the dampness.
Lying on the dormitory bed, the corpses opened their eyes. They twisted their limbs and stood up, their corrupt eyes turned to look at the shaky door that was about to be kicked open, moving their limbs to climb out of the bed, and moved their hands with only bones to the door. go.
At the same time, the factory has a basement level.
The team members pinched their noses and walked forward in this stinking imitation of the prison. They scanned these neatly arranged iron cages with complicated eyes. Behind the team members held a night camera to seriously take pictures of the factory. Structure.
The green screen of the camera at night sprinkled an unknown light on this dim underground.
"...I don't know what these cages were built to detain..." A team member wrinkled his eyebrows and walked a few steps in, "And when we came here a month ago to seal up this factory, it was not like this at all."
"Yes." The other team member joined, "It's not just that. We have been keeping people closely monitoring the situation here. This factory has no way to operate. I don't know how they are still producing and transporting perfume."
As they talked, they walked in.
In the cage at the end of the basement floor, there is a huge, three-meter-high cylindrical glass cabinet vessel that is so thick that four people hug it. The open opening of this vessel is emitting rose-red smoke. Looking inside, this vessel The inside is filled with colorful dry leaf rose gas perfume liquid.
There is a countdown sign posted on the glass cabinet, and the remaining time on it is less than ten minutes.
If Bai Liu were here, he might have estimated that this amount of perfume liquid would be enough to pay all the employees of the Rose Factory in the game for one year.
Dry leaf rose gas is a flammable and explosive liquid. This amount of liquid will explode and spread the aroma of roses to a whole sleeping mirror city next to it.
Even if Bailiu already knows how to use blood ganoderma lucidum branches to solve dry leaf roses, in the early stage of the disaster, before all order has been established and functioning, there will be quite a lot of people who are not strong enough to withstand dry leaf roses.
-For example, mothers who are still breastfeeding and newborns just one month old.
This group of team members cautiously walked to the end of the cage. Someone moved his nose and frowned, "...I smelled a very strong fragrance of roses."
This sentence instantly made all the team members vigilant. They raised their flashlights to search carefully in the dungeon, and walked back and forth in front of the glassware containing the huge rose liquid countless times.
But something strange happened. It was as if they couldn't see the glass cabinet, and they could even go directly through the cabinet—
—It is as if they and this glass cabinet that is about to explode are in two worlds of different dimensions.
"... Strange, I did smell it, but why can't I see anything?" The team members looked at the empty last cage, frowned in confusion, but finally chose to turn around and leave.
The team members walked to the exit of the basement floor. They turned on the communicator and announced to Su Chao: "Team Su, the basement floor can smell the scent of roses, but there is nothing on this floor."
Behind, the countdown of □□ jumped by one second, from 9:00 to 8:59.
On the first floor of the factory, outside the processing staff's dormitory, Su Chao kicked the door open.
Su Chao walked into the dusty dormitory floor, looked around vigilantly with his gun, and finally pinned the gun behind his waist.
He twisted his eyebrows to look at the empty dormitory, and raised his collar to announce: "I found nothing here on the first dormitory building, but I just smelled a strong smell of rotting corpses..."
"I thought I could find the dozen or so missing employees here. I haven't found them for a month..." Su Chao sighed, then cheered up, "No news can be considered good news, maybe they still Alive."
"When you bring your spirits up, in addition to searching for the equipment for secretly making rose perfume in this factory, you should also pay attention to the search. When we searched this factory a month ago, we found that there were more than a dozen missing employees in the employee list..."
"Most of these employees are high-risk floating populations who come to work from other places. If they are missing, no one will notice. They may still be alive. Let the team members be ready to rescue at any time..."
While talking, Su Chao walked out.
In another space behind Su Chao, a dozen pairs of rotten maggot eyes looked at him motionlessly.
There are eight minutes and forty-seven seconds before the explosion.
"There are still eight minutes and forty-seven seconds." Looking at the time on the car, Bai Liu calmly reported.
"It's the fastest speed already!" Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth, his motorcycle tires are almost shining flames on the hard ground because of the high-speed rotation. He is anxious to curse, "Damn it! A large-scale explosion should require a large container of perfume. Why can't the people who go to the investigation see anything!"
"It's impossible not to see it." Bai Liu said lightly, "In order to minimize the harm of rose perfume, the intensity of the investigation by the Heresy Bureau has gone beyond the line to prevent it from coming to catch me in the future."
"Normally, don't talk about a bottle of rose perfume. Normally, they can't miss a rose seed."
Mu Sicheng was startled: "Then why..."
"Because the existence of the planned "Rose Factory" game landing [reality] has higher world authority than theirs, just like ordinary people in this world can't hear anything about the game." Ye Feng blew Bai Liu's forehead. Leaning back and swaying, he raised his eyes to look at the factory not far away, "These ordinary people who want to protect other people can't see or touch the world related to games."
"In order to protect the factory from running normally in [reality], the game designer gave the director a [inside world] that hides the real rose factory."
Mu Sicheng exhaled a cold breath: "It's the same design as the game "Rose Factory", isn't it?"
"Yes." Bai Liu was squinted by the fierce night wind. "According to my understanding, Tang Erda and the others are monitoring these factories that are likely to produce perfume 24 hours a day, but this factory can still be monitored in this way. It’s illogical in itself to continue producing rose perfume for export."
"Unless they finished making the perfume in the inner world, and then flipped it to the real world for sale, so that they can't be found at all, right?" Mu Sicheng asked rhetorically.
Bai Liu: "That's right."
Bai Liu continued: "Not only that, the newspaper in the game wrote that before the explosion, the members of the Heresy Processing Bureau repeatedly searched the factory, but they did not issue any notifications for the citizens of the city to retreat, but left them directly. The bomb exploded when searched in situ."
"This proves that they didn't see anything dangerous."
"It's very likely." Bai Liu looked up at the factory that was getting closer and closer, "—all they saw was an empty factory that was turned over and used as a guise."
"There will be nothing in it,"
"Team Su, this is an empty factory." After searching the entire factory, the team members reported the results to Su Chao, "There is nothing inside."
Su Chao frowned. He looked up at this old factory that had withered in the dark, and his sense of ominousness became heavier and heavier.
He turned around and returned to the car, ready to get some special night vision equipment to search again, but when he opened the door of the car, his hands seemed to have expected Su Chao to come back to get the night vision equipment. he.
Su Chao looked at the person sitting in the car and was startled: "Why are you following? Didn't you let you stay in the Heresy Bureau and take a good rest?"
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Lu Yizhan scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Captain Su, I thought about it. This matter is related to Bai Liu. If he really did it, I, as a public official around him, did not have a good supervisory responsibility. I can't escape the blame, so I thought about it, I still followed."
Lu Yizhan raised his eyes, let out a deep breath, and looked at Su Chao: "Also ask Captain Su to let me search together!"
Su Chao was silent for a while, and finally, he was helplessly defeated under the gaze that Lu Yizhan almost stared at him, and nodded: "It's an empty factory, there is no danger. Come if you want."
Lu Yizhan breathed a sigh of relief, got out of the car and followed Su Chao and the others into the factory, who was preparing for a second search.
Before the explosion, there are still 6 minutes and 31 seconds.
The motorcycle hummed and steadily turned sideways and stopped in front of the factory.
Bai Liu glanced over, and saw a few cars with Dangerous Heresy Bureau signs parked in front of the factory.
On the way to the Heresy Processing Bureau, Bai Liu rode this kind of car and was deeply impressed by the weird octopus logo.
Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng found a place to hide when they got out of the car—people from the Heresy Processing Bureau are patrolling outside, and the two of them are now an escaped heresy, and the other is a prisoner robbery, both of whom are to be arrested by the Heresy Processing Bureau. , Showing up directly will only be arrested on the spot.
Arrested is the second most important thing now. Tang Erda can help deal with it, but dealing with the arrest will waste their time.
"How to get in? Break in?" Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu. He glanced at his digital watch, his face darkened, "It's only six minutes!"
Bai Liu settled on the factory without moving his eyes: "Walk in with dignity."
He touched the inverse cross and system coin that was returned by Tang Er at his neckline.
[System warning: It is forbidden to use props that have nothing to do with core desires in reality—Zila Zila—Prohibit—Stop—]
The current scream of resistance gradually fainted.
[System prompt: Does the player Bai Liu use extraordinary items (reverse eyeballs)? 】
[This item can see the hidden evil reality]
【Sure. 】
Bai Liu took out an eyeball shaped like a glass marble, a rose floating in bloom in the center of the eyeball, he held it up between Mu Sicheng and himself:
"Close your left eye and look at this eyeball, we can enter the inner world of the factory."
Before Mu Sicheng had time to think about Bai Liu's intention to do this, he subconsciously followed his words and closed his left eye.
The roses in the eyeballs slowly bloomed, making people dazzling, the surrounding dense scenery accelerated to wither, and the howling of carrion and an unknown skull appeared at their feet.
Mu Sicheng took a deep breath. He covered his head and pushed away the eyeball and took two steps back.
Mu Sicheng, who had been racing for so long and had no discomfort for so long, just looked at this eyeball for a second, and felt a little nauseous-a nausea of being mentally contaminated.
They entered a dark and real [inside world].
Feeling that Bai Liu was not affected at all, he closed his eyes and turned to look at the factory behind him-the originally empty factory is now brightly lit, and the shadows that come and go without knowing whether people are ghosts shuttle in the dim light, holding them in his hand. With a dustpan for roses.
—It's exactly the same as the scene in "The Rose Factory".
Bai Liu grabbed Mu Sicheng's wrist and ran in, "Go."
"Wait! Do you know where the bombs and perfume are placed?!" Mu Sicheng tried to hold Bai Liu, "At least we must determine the location before we can rush in, otherwise, isn't this a delivery?"
"I guess it is the innermost cage of the underground dungeon." The running Bai Liu looked back at Mu Sicheng. "Someone told me."
Mu Sicheng was dumbfounded: "Who told you?"
There was no expression on Bai Liu's face: "Lu Yizhan, a fool."
"Hey! Hey! Why don't I know when he told you! Was it during the period when he was blocked by Hearts? You told me Bailiu!"
Bai Liu didn't say a word, there was no Mu Sicheng who was screaming at him, but he just pulled him into the factory.
In the game of "Rose Factory", the place where Lu Yizhan, which is used as a test paper, is detained is the last cage in the prison on the basement floor.
As for the fool of Lu Yizhan, if he was arrested with a group of people after the explosion, then this guy must apply to be imprisoned in the place where perfume pollution and fragrance infringement are the most serious in order to protect other people, and replace others with the harshest. Torture.
-And the whole rose factory, is there any place more polluted than the place where it exploded ten years ago
Bai Liu didn't think it was anymore, and maybe Lu Yizhan didn't think it was anymore.
—So he was imprisoned in the place where the explosion happened for ten years.
Bai Liu bypassed the factory's defenses and entered the factory through the back door. When passing the corridor, Mu Sicheng neatly put down a few shaky carrion corpses, and then turned to the entrance of the basement floor.
Mu Sicheng turned on the phone's flashlight and walked down Bai Liu. They went all the way in until they reached the last cage.
A huge, light pink smoke from the opening of the glassware continued to blow out, and the entire cage was filled with the scent of roses.
The countdown on the glassware had reached four minutes.
"What to do?" Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu angrily, covering his mouth and nose, "Move out? Or just smash it?"
Bai Liu stared at this instrument for less than a second, and calmly said: "It's too late."
"What's too late?!" Mu Sicheng was stunned, he subconsciously looked at the countdown on the bomb, "Isn't there more than four minutes left?"
Bai Liu moved his eyes down and looked at the bomb at the bottom of the glassware: "It's useless to smash it. The real bomb is not this timed one. This bomb is just a [lighter], and the real bomb is these perfume liquids, and these are Gas coming out."
"Dry leaf rose gas, these perfumes should be some kind of liquid gas analogues. Even if we smash this glass cylinder or take away the bomb, as long as the liquid is still there, as long as someone brings any sparks, it will explode. It can proceed smoothly."
"If the game designer must make this factory explode tonight, he can use anyone in this factory to use a large amount of perfume liquid in this factory. We can't beware of this."
Speaking of this, Bai Liu still doesn’t panic: "—Unless all the perfume stocks stored in this factory are consumed at one time, otherwise they can create an explosion from the inner world at any time, and then turn it over at the moment of the explosion. real world."
Mu Sicheng let go of the hand covering his nose and mouth, his face tense: "What should I do then?"
"Evacuate the people." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "Then bombed the factory first."
———
Tang Erda requisitioned a passing high-end private car, and now Mu Ke is driving at full speed to the factory.
Sitting on the back seat of the car were Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi. The owner of the expropriated car was not willing to borrow it, but Mu Ke gave him a credit card worth more than 3 million yuan and bought the car directly. Tang Er beat them. In order to quickly rush to the factory.
"Still can't make the phone call?" Mu Ke looked anxiously in the rearview mirror.
Tang Er hit a deep voice: "It should be impossible to get through. They are all turned off when they are performing tasks. If you want to contact them, you must go back to the processing bureau headquarters to intervene in their wireless frequency modulation."
"Time is too late." Liu Jiayi retorted the proposal without hesitation. "Bai Liu and the others should be here. Call them and ask what's going on over there."
As soon as Liu Jiayi's voice fell, Bai Liu called.
He called Tang Erda: "Captain Tang, is there any way to disperse these citizens within the explosion range in a short time?"
"The city's air defense alert." Tang Erda quickly replied, but soon he clenched his fist, "But that requires a lot of evidence to prove that a high-risk situation is about to happen before it can be activated. My privilege is only for the heresy in the bureau. I cannot activate this. Types of alarms."
"But we can't prove that we can't even prove to those who haven't entered the game that the factory is about to explode, because this is the content of the game, we will be silenced if we say it, right?" Bai Liu asked.
Tang Erda leaned weakly on the back seat of the car: "... Yes, they can't hear it at all."
"The explosion... will still happen, right?" Tang Er asked hoarsely, raising his hand to cover his eyes.
Bai Liu answered him honestly: "Yes."
"But maybe it's just an explosion." His voice was still calm and calm, with no waves. "Captain Tang, you just said that if someone can prove that an extremely dangerous thing like a rose gas explosion will happen, then this alarm will be fine. Start, right?"
Tang Erda slowly sat upright, he realized that Bai Liu seemed to have found some way, but he couldn't think of what this way was.
"Yes." Tang Erda breathed heavily, "No matter what method they use, they won't be able to receive the message you want to deliver, and they will even think that they are mad to make people run quickly."
"How do you prove that such terrible things you have witnessed will happen?"
With a lazy smile in Bai Liu's voice, he said without beginning and ending: "Captain Tang, who has privileges, remember to get me out."
Then he hung up the phone neatly, leaving Tang Erda confused.
————
In the darkness when dawn is approaching, the wind is hunting.
After logging out of the inner world, Bai Liu was sorting out this poorly-fitting black trench coat on her body.
After he smashed the glass cylinder and exploded the timing/explosion/bombs far away, the two foreigners of them were discovered by the people in the rose factories in the inner world.
People in the factory were prevented from doing this explosion in order to popularize rose perfume. After Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng were discovered, they were chased by these employees. At the same time, these employees were still making use of the reserve rose liquid to make the first Two explosions-exactly as Bai Liu expected.
In order to delay the time, Bai Liu left Mu Sicheng with his fast moving speed in the inner world to disrupt the employees who were preparing for the second explosion. At the same time, he logged out of the inner world himself and was responsible for moving the entire city out of the explosion. The affected area.
Before Bai Liu logged out of the inner world, Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu and Tang Erda the same question-how do you make these people believe that something like this would happen
Let these ordinary people who are not in the game believe that their world is a cruel game with monsters everywhere
Especially if you have been banned.
The temperature in the real world is a bit low, and Bai Liu wears a windbreaker that he took away from the inner world. I don't know whose windbreaker is used to keep out the cold.
From the hidden stairwell behind the factory, Bai Liu walked step by step towards the top floor of the rose factory. On his right wrist, there was a red and white plastic loudspeaker that seemed to be used for employee training. This was also what Bai Liu took out of the world.
The moment he reached the top floor, he was spotted by the team members below who were closely inspecting the factory.
"There is a figure on the roof!"
"Is it the factory director who absconded! Hit the high light to see who it is!"
"Level 1 alert!"
Two extremely dazzling high beams swayed on the figure positioned on the top floor. Bai Liu was squinted by the strong light shining on his face, but he did not move, still standing steadily on the highest rooftop.
The cold night breeze blows the broken hair on the side of the white willow face, and the long windbreaker that doesn't fit on him, the morning dew seems to linger beside him, and there is a scent of rose on the sole of his feet.
The people below have already recognized who he is.
"—It's Bai Liu!!"
"Why is he here?! Hurry up and notify the processing bureau! Heresy No. 0006 who fled has appeared in the factory!"
"Team Tang said he is very dangerous! He has the ability to control all heretics! What is he doing here?!"
Su Chao and Lu Yizhan looked up at the white willow that seemed to have fallen from the sky in disbelief.
With the same smile on Bai Liu's face, he raised the big horn to his lips: "Good morning, everyone."
"That's it. Before I ran away, I decided to do something that fits my identity—" Bai Liu lifted his eyes, and his smile became thicker in the violent wind."—As a laid-off worker who has been identified as an anti-social personality, How can we not retaliate against society?"
"I lost my job, my friends, everything about me for no reason-but I couldn't find anyone responsible for it, and I had to be imprisoned in a cage with you branding a monster."
"How can I not retaliate?" Bai Liu curled up his mouth and said softly, "I decided to let you have a taste of becoming a monster."
"I decided to blow up this entire factory, let the dried leaf rose spread all over the world, and make you all my slaves."
After a few seconds of freezing, someone shouted hoarsely: "—Contact the city, sound the air defense alarm, and let all residents evacuate from the explosion range!!"
"Someone maliciously spread gas addiction!!"
Su Chao looked horribly at Bai Liu who was standing on the top floor with a hand in the pocket of his windbreaker.
Across the morning breeze and the fading night, the man was smiling at him amusingly, and said to him in a lazy mouth:
"The scent of rose on your body smells good, Captain Su?"
