"It was a local woman who sneaked into the Sky Island Power Furnace," the Atlantis guard who knelt on one knee stood up under Sandora's order, with a confused look on his face, "I and her We met each other from the front, so we could see her very clearly. Her figure was relatively petite, only about 2.35 meters. She was a small woman... Wearing the most common gold-patterned 'Towlia' gauze dress with a white background in Atlantis , with long lavender hair and a tattoo on her arm that resembles the imperial military emblem, her appearance shows that she is an Atlantean... "
Half my attention is on "it's a small woman"...
"How did the monster town report?" I glanced at Artemis, and the blond girl nodded immediately: "When your fox came to report, he brought a hand-painted portrait of monsters here."
As she said that, she took out a piece of crumpled paper from her bosom and handed it over. I unfolded it and was shocked: "Is this drawn by my sister?"
Artemis: "... It's really not easy to identify, the monsters are drawn a bit broadly. Anyway, according to the description, the woman who appeared in Monster Town is a slender girl about 1.6 meters tall, wearing clothes that are very common in the town. , a slightly antique green dress, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long straight black hair, similar to the 'invaders' that appeared in Atlantis, that is, there are also tattoos similar to military emblems on their arms. In addition, it can be confirmed that the woman who appeared in Monster Town is not human: at least she has the ability to teleport through space and super strength, which was confirmed by the monsters with their own eyes."
The mysterious woman who appeared in Monster Town and the intruder who appeared on the empty island of Atlantis are obviously different in appearance. They may be two people, but there is one thing that makes people pay special attention: the arms of these two people Is it a coincidence that there are tattoos resembling the imperial military emblem on the body? Or some sort of organized markup? I turned to Sandora in confusion: "There are two possibilities, either there are two intruders, or... This is a guy who can disguise himself in various forms. Regardless of the possibility, she has the ability to pass freely in the military zone ability."
Although there are two possibilities, I am more inclined to believe in the second case. Because the Atlantis race is a special group, there may be new monsters from other worlds in the monster town, but the whole Atlantis race is a unique life created by the old empire, and each of them is registered. On the record, it is theoretically impossible for a new member that no one knows to suddenly appear from other worlds, so the invaders who appeared on the empty island must not be real Atlanteans, since they came in disguise , then naturally there is reason to suspect that the intruder can still pretend to be a monster.
Of course, more importantly, I don't want to believe that invaders who can bypass the imperial sentinel system can form a group to appear...
"You mean, mimicry?" Sandora mentioned a word to explain why she had two appearances in different places if there was only one intruder. For a moment, I thought of the slime at home who was treated as a pet by the bear children. That guy can also mimic, it will randomly change into the shape of the person I have been in contact with recently, and Qianqian is training that slime these two days Tom turns into a bicycle. Obviously, the slime's mimicry is not the same as the situation we are encountering now. The intruders this time are really too powerful.
Sandora and I were quickly analyzing the existing information, trying to summarize some characteristics of the intruder, but an imperial officer on the scene suddenly had an idea: "Your Majesty, the intruder does not seem to have the ability to accurately mimic .”
"Huh?" I raised my head and looked at the officer, who then said, "That's right, let's assume that there is only one intruder, and she changed into a different appearance through mimicry, then she appeared twice, although both Disguised as a local, but they all present the faces of strangers, so that they are quickly spotted by others. If she can accurately mimic, she can become one of the exact local people, such as the one who turned into a power furnace Guard, but she didn't do it, and if she didn't have another intention, it might just be impossible."
"It's a possibility," Sandora agreed, "This is the best. From this point of view, she can only change into the appearance of a local according to the general characteristics, but will not accurately copy specific people, so it is much easier to identify , under martial law, she will not sneak into key facilities so easily, but maintaining martial law is not a long-term solution."
I think something is wrong: "And we all assume that there is only one intruder now, so I guess she will transform. What if there are really two people? Or there may be more people, and they have even been active in Shadow City but have not been discovered yet... "
"All military areas in the capital world are under martial law," Sandora said bluntly, "Special situations are dealt with specially. As for the civilian area... Seeing that the guy was only eating, drinking and having fun in Monster Town for two days, maybe her target is not civilian facilities. So it’s good to step up surveillance for now. And let’s be honest... It’s not realistic to raise the martial law level in all civilian areas to military level, and it will cause chaos.”
"I'm just worried that she will sneak into the Imperial Army." I couldn't help but sighed with a headache, "I have access rights and may appear as a local person. Once she sneaks into the Imperial Army headquarters, I don't care if it will cause harm. , this incident alone is serious enough.”
"It's very serious now," Sandora smiled wryly with confusion, "I'm not worried about her pretending to be an apostle of Xiling, and the apostles are mutually authenticated by the soul and authority system, even if she pretends to be like that again, There is no way to copy these things. What I am worried about is... this intruder suddenly appeared out of nowhere and drilled everywhere, how could there be such a big leak in our security system?"
Sandora has already begun to doubt the security measures of the capital world. In theory, she shouldn't lose confidence in the security measures of the empire so easily, but the situation in front of her makes people wonder: what happened to our sentinel system? ? Is there really a loophole that no one has discovered that allows an intruder to dangle so swaggeringly under everyone's noses
"I always think that guy might have something to do with the empire." I said casually.
"Indeed, she has a tattoo on her body that resembles the imperial military emblem," Sandora said with a rather tangled expression, "with this logo, she looks like someone from the empire's side, but there is no record of such personnel. That person acted The method is also elusive, making people suspicious. Even I am a little confused now, this situation is really unprecedented... "
Sandora was in a daze, and of course I couldn't be better off. The only action I can think of now is to find the mysterious person as soon as possible: If I can meet her head-on, it would be the best, but I guess so The odds are low.
Soon, all military installations in the capital world, including Shadow Space and Celestial City, entered a state of martial law of varying degrees. It is the first time since the founding of the new empire that all distribution channels for the people are closed. I feel that things are really going to make a big fuss.
At the same time, even though the martial law has not yet spread to the civilian areas, there are more patrols and detection aircraft in those areas, and I think the citizens will soon feel the abnormal atmosphere around them. Perhaps this will not cause too much commotion: After all, those who can settle in the capital of the empire are all special figures from various worlds. World leaders who have retired to the second line or well-known racial heroes are everywhere in Shadow City. This change in the atmosphere caused turmoil, and the empire had frequent wars on weekdays, and there were large-scale military mobilizations in Shadow City every so often. It is estimated that for those people, this level of increase in soldiers has long been a common phenomenon. This should be regarded as a place where I and Sandora feel a little more at ease.
It may seem like a big deal to put so many military units into a state of martial law for one (or maybe two, or maybe a group of) mysterious people, but it is actually nothing to the Apostles of Xiling. They are accustomed to militarized life from top to bottom, and the state of martial law will not have any psychological impact on them like ordinary races, nor will it interfere with the normal operation of these military facilities. At the same time, considering that the mysterious person may have obtained the right of passage to enter and exit important military sites of the empire, under the premise that the purpose of the other party is unknown, a certain degree of martial law is the means we have to take.
Sandora decided to stay in Avalon to sit in person. She felt that the "intruder" might not have left this space, and wanted to try to use her own mind scan to examine the entire territory of Avalon. I returned to Shadow City later, thinking See if you can find any clues from the monitoring system in the data center. The elder sister and Qianqian of the family knew what was going on here at this time. When I returned to the Shadow Fortress, a group of people in the family had already gathered here, even including the protoss five-member group. Qianqian was bouncing around with a restless look, and when I appeared, she couldn't wait to jump up: "Ajun, Ajun! What happened, the whole city is under martial law?"
"Avalon has discovered a second mysterious person, but this time it is an Atlantean woman," I patted Qianqian's head and comforted the excited girl, "Because the situation is too weird, Sandora and I It is suspected that this is an intruder with mimicry ability."
After all, a gang of invaders whose members include yokai and Atlanteans and every other possible race, and who can run around the Imperial military zone, is... so bullshit. I would rather believe that there is only one person on the other side.
"Where is Bubble?" I suddenly found that the mother of a certain child who would be very active at this time did not appear in front of my eyes, so I couldn't help asking curiously, and my sister immediately replied: "Oh, I have already gone to the data center. She said that she would connect herself to the direct connection port of the database to screen all the information in and out of Shadow City in the past few days. She also called more than 300 mass-produced hosts."
"That guy finally won't lose the chain at the critical moment." I breathed out and turned my gaze to Lin Xue. "Girl, what do you think?"
The Prophet rubbed her eyes. It seems that she has already made a prophecy in this regard before. I didn’t expect that in order to track down a mere mysterious person, and still under my nose, I could make the Prophet look so tired. She sighed The tone seemed to be quite dejected: "I can only judge that there will be no disaster incidents in the foreseeable time period in the future, but that mysterious man... Wood, this thing is a bit strange, I did a fuzzy search with the intruder as the target, As a result, who do you think appeared in the field of vision?"
Everyone looked at the eldest lady in unison.
"Pandora, Viska, Sandora, Sikaro, Sivis, Tavel... There are many faces that I don't know but have impressions. As long as I have seen the apostles of Xiling, almost all of them appear in the prophecy screen Once," the eldest lady couldn't laugh or cry, "even including the two sentries standing guard in front of the headquarters. I see double images around you now, do you know..."
I know why the eldest lady rubbed her eyes just now.
"Anyway, the prophecy ability doesn't seem to work on that mysterious person. She will interfere with my vision. I guess she blocked the results." Random, subconscious faces of people seen."
It seems that it is impossible to use the power of the prophet to opportunistically, so I turned my attention to the few guys who usually eat free food and should contribute a little bit at this time.
"Don't look at us, we're here to help out as a coolie—" Bingtis quickly waved his hand before I could speak, and then slapped Ilson to the front, "Here, it's him. Alright, let's go back first gone."
"Are you really going back?" I raised my eyebrows, watching Bingtis come back after turning around in a circle, with an old society look on his face: "Damn, I'm not on your data network, and I don't know What happened in Shadow City, I just came here to see the excitement, why can't I leave once I come here!"
Ding Dong got out of my pocket, and the little thing was with me and Sandora the whole time, so I knew what happened. At the critical moment, Douding was still unambiguous. She waved to her four team members with great momentum: "Everyone, go help patrol!"
A few protoss should be able to play a big role at this time. It goes without saying that the protoss has a wide perception field and spiritual field. More importantly, they are not mixed with the network of the Xiling apostle. If the intruder bypassed the empire Network surveillance is able to act at will, so the "third pair of eyes" of the Protoss should play an unexpected role.
Because it is not sure what characteristics of the intruder are fixed (the appearance is uncertain, and there is no identification code), it is impossible for the protoss five-member group to catch the target accurately, and they can only help in the military area. Patrol around to prevent suspicious elements from approaching the blockade at this time. Under the state of martial law, the military zone of Shadow City only allows Xiling apostles to enter and exit. They just need to use this as a standard to help arm the defense. Although they are a bunch of young and reliable guys, they will not have any problems with such a simple task.
"The most troublesome thing now is that the intruder may mimic. We are not sure what she looks like, and there is no one that can clearly identify the other person. The identification system of the empire does not work on that guy. This kind of aimless search of the whole city can only make her hide temporarily, and it can't solve the problem at all." After several protoss set off under the leadership of their imposing captain, and even Bingtis left with resentment, the elder sister was quite angry. Said a little worriedly.
What my sister said makes sense, and I can think of this too, but besides strengthening patrols and searches, there seems to be no other good way. Apart from the previous methods, it seems that the only thing left is to wait, to see when Bubble can find clues, or to see if Sandora's mind scan has any effect.
And at this moment, a slow and soft voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting our conversation: "Hey—everyone is here—today—is there any activity? There are many soldiers outside—"
The appearance of this voice was simply too surprising. I turned my head and saw that it was indeed Sylvia: her speaking habits cannot be replicated by ordinary people, and her reflex arc shorter than 20 meters cannot use her beat at all.
"Sylvia? Why are you here? Don't you usually dislike the inside of the base?" My sister greeted the slow-moving silver mole, and then asked curiously.
"Oh, because Bella Villa has to assign tasks to the ravens—and go to the headquarters for a meeting—so I came out," Sylvia thought for a while, and said slowly to us with a smile on her face. She was dying of anxiety, and she only finished the second half of the sentence, "I'm about to go back now, there is a new customer in the store, I have been waiting for a long time—"
Normally, I would be happy to have a few more words with this slow-moving silver mole. Her tone of voice is enough to adjust my mood, but now is obviously not the time, so I finally waited for Sylvia to finish speaking. He waved his hand: "Oh, then you are busy first, we are dealing with a little unexpected situation here, don't worry, it's not a big deal..."
Sylvia thought for a while, nodded, turned her head and was about to leave, when I finally realized it, I hurriedly yelled: "Wait!"
The silver mole thought about it again, with a bit of surprise on his face: "What's the matter—it's scary..."
"A new customer in your store? A new acquaintance? A face that has never appeared before?" I asked a series of questions, and then patted Qianqian on the shoulder: "Speed up for her!"
So Sylvia skipped the CD time for talking, and then replied: "Yes, a new customer—it seems to be a female soldier at the base, but I don't know him. I came to the store suddenly two days ago and bought a lot of cakes—today I also came in the afternoon, and I'm waiting in the store now..."
"Take us... no, let's go there!"
I just wanted to say let Sylvia lead the way, but after seeing her silly face with a ping value of at least four digits in the real world, I decisively decided to set off with a group of people first, and let this slow half-beat react slowly here Bar.
A group of people rushed to Sylvia's small shop in a hurry. Fortunately, her shop is within the military cordon. If the mysterious person entered her shop and waited for a while, it should not be possible to leave the military area now. ——For the first time, I am so glad that Sylvia is an idiot who actually opened a shop in a military restricted area. Of course, there is no evidence to prove that the new guest mentioned a little later is the "intruder" we are looking for, but my strong intuition tells me that it is right, why do you say
Will the shop opened by that idiot Sylvia normally have new customers? ! Her social circle has not changed for two and a half years!
The only thing we need to worry about is whether or not that mysterious person is still waiting in the store after such a long time, no matter why she can walk around the military area without psychological pressure as an "intruder" , and no matter why she suddenly went to Sylvia's cake shop to buy things, these are not important, what is important is that she must be patient and wait for that silver mole... I hope that after two days of getting along She has already understood Sylvia's rhythm in the middle, so it's better not to leave in a hurry.
Sylvia's small shop appeared in the eyes of everyone, and it still looked deserted and quiet in the usual way, but all of us stopped a few meters in front of the shop, looked at the door, as if it was closed inside. Flood beasts.
There is an energy reaction in it.
"Don't go in together, so as not to scare the target," Miss Lin seemed to assign the work professionally, "She seems to be very good at escaping. Well, we will guard outside, Wood, you and Qianqian go in, you two can do it alone Fighting, one can drag, it is the most suitable for this."
Everyone expressed that they had no objections, so a group of No. 1 to No. 1 in the world stood on guard around this small shop like an enemy, while Qianqian and I carefully opened the door and walked into the shop.
I didn't dare to use space teleportation to flash in directly, because I was afraid of stimulating the target.
However, the expected fierce fight, or the scene where a white shadow flashed in front of me and then Qianqian made a decision, did not appear. The shop was quiet, Qianqian patted my arm, and pointed to the seat by the window: " Ah Jun, over there."
A young girl wearing a uniform of the Imperial Army with long, straight pale blonde hair was lying on the table, already asleep. RS
