This is the capital of the empire, the military center of the shadow fortress, and the center of time and space management.
This is one of the most important links in the multiverse, the intersection of dimensional passages connecting countless worlds, the most critical facility that can easily break through the solid plane barrier, allowing the empire to descend on any world at any time.
A huge square with a radius of one kilometer is already grand for a temporary personnel transfer port. It is heavily guarded, has a security level of SSS, and has twenty gates to the world that can be opened at the same time. These descriptions are full of people. A sense of solemnity, when it was just completed, my sister even proposed to set up a sculpture of me and Sandora in the square, and name this hub after the two of us. Of course, this proposal was sweated by me later Refused.
It now appears that the rejection at the time was correct.
Because this square is now full of things that make people cry: private workers, luggage carriers, ticket sellers, tea and egg sellers, pancake stands, roasted corn, newspapers and magazines, souvenirs, wearing red hoops Yes, the ones wearing yellow hoops and holding small flags, and I also ran into two people who were wearing sunglasses to tell fortunes...
From a distance, it looks like the space hub of the empire, but it looks like Tangfeng bus station up close—it’s not as good as the bus station, at least no one sells arms in public at the bus station, right? Which department is that bastard over there? Why did you put a Gauss rifle in Wu Geng Liuli's hand
"I think there's a little bit of déjà vu here."
Staring dumbfounded at the bustling scene in the hub square of the Time-Space Management Center, even my lord sister, who has always been calm and tranquil, couldn't help complaining like this. You know, my sister usually never complains.
"This group of disgraceful things..."
I covered my head as big as a bucket, and couldn't bear to see everything in front of me. I thought of what a good group of Jagged Imperial soldiers back then, and now they are selling tea eggs in a row outside the waiting area. They didn't shoot Sikaro in time. This is really the biggest mistake in this life, and now the virus factor of that old bastard has ravaged the entire imperial army.
"Slow down, little brother." Just as I thought of the pollution source of Sikaro on my side, a certain uncle's familiar voice sounded behind me, and I turned my head numbly, and what caught my eye was a knight-faced uncle with a super black face and a cool face. Stopped a lady with oversized glasses, and started his sinful sales promotion, "Do you want an offer?"
This old bastard won't let anyone under the age of ten be spared, no matter how precocious human beings are, they haven't been shopping in the streets since they were ten years old, right
Sure enough, the stopped creature who seemed to be a gentleman immediately waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, uncle, I'm in a hurry for that kind of thing... It's a little early for me to read that kind of thing..."
By the way, that kid is precocious enough.
"Don't worry, little brother, I have everything here." Sikaro didn't let go at all, but took out a large pile of things from the satchel on the ground with his free left hand, "Do you like Ultraman? Animal World? Or A limited edition ***?"
That Zhengtai's face turned purple: "Uncle, I'm really in a hurry"
"That's fine, it seems you don't want to disc," Sicaro calmly took back the disc, and then took out a pair of Zhou Yi charts and spread them on the floor, "Little brother, what is your name and who was born? Let me count it for you." Gua"
"Conan... no, uncle, I really don't have time..."
Cicaro reluctantly put away the gossip map again, and asked: "Then do you want to apply for a certificate? This is fast, it will be ready in one minute, the second generation of ID card, and it is guaranteed."
"Please uncle, if you don't let go, I won't be able to catch up"
"Yes, this is my business card." Seeing that the other party was not even interested in applying for a card, Cicaro finally scratched his hair and took out a small piece of paper from his pocket. I will always be true and false, and a penalty of ten"
The lady who claimed to be Conan immediately took the business card gratefully, turned and ran away: "Thank you, uncle, I will contact you later... Oops..."
"What's the matter?" Sikaro was packing his satchel, which looked like Jingdong Cat, when he saw that the other party had abducted him again, he immediately asked curiously.
"The car has already left," the unlucky Conan said with a sad face, "I only have two trips back today, and now I can't even buy a ticket for the next trip."
Who is Sicarona, the old rascal among the old rascals, the old rascal among the old rascals, he had a good time on the spot, and took out a ticket from his trouser pocket...
I led a group of beauties, big and small, to watch the whole process behind, and at this time, each of them was about to be turned into a monument.
"Sister Asida must have such brains," Lin Xue silently looked up to the sky for a long time and sighed, "At least they can eat instant noodles..."
"Don't be too optimistic," I patted Lin Xue on the shoulder, "The price of instant noodles has increased recently."
"Eh?"
Nima, isn't it time to discuss the price increase of instant noodles
"Cicaro you old bastard"
In the end, a thunderous roar finally resounded in the bustling Tangfeng bus station... Ahem, in the space-time hub square, there was an instant silence in a radius of more than two hundred meters, and an imperial commander who had just sold a ticket in the middle space sifted Bran wanted to run, but it was too late and then quickly, two cat-like swift figures rushed up the moment Sikaro took a step, and with two loud bangs, Uncle Heichao flew back sideways.
Pandora ※ Viska joint stunt, a powerful lower kick of 1.2 meters
Don't wonder why it is kicked in the lower part, the two short wax gourds kicked in the lower part when their legs were straightened.
"Ahem, boss, long time no see..."
"I don't see your sister." I almost vomited out a mouthful of stomach acid, "Is that you who sold at the Mars base yesterday? Today is another disaster?"
"Isn't this honing my anti-tracking skills for economic development... Okay, boss, I understand, I'm going to the confinement room..."
"I think this guy is still a hero in the piracy industry after he comes out."
Seeing Cicaro's bleak back disappearing into the square, Lin Xuepi said something with a half-smile.
This girl who doesn't open the pot and lifts the pot
"Okay, okay, Ah Jun." In the end, it was my elder sister who came up to comfort me as always. She rubbed my hair as she did when she was a child, while pointing to the opposite side of the square. The coordinator, and you see, not all of those unreliable guys are imperial soldiers, right?"
When I looked, I happened to see Laura leading a group of believers selling crosses to passing tourists... people from other worlds, and behind her, two tauren shamans, whose business seemed to be slow, each held a large shelf of horn combs, The bull's eyes widened and he glared at Laura.
I just want to know, where do they get the raw materials for those combs...
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about these guys."
In the end, I was completely discouraged and said something, which was a complete acquiescence to the happy... chaotic situation here, "For more than a month, these guys have to deal with complex tasks that they have never encountered before, and they are too busy. Let them have fun for a few days starting today."
Viska immediately jumped over: "Brother, you are indeed the best."
"Not including you." I rolled my eyes at this energetic little girl, "I heard that I led my own guards to sweep the fruit street in the third residential area during the few days I was away, because I don't know who said I said that eating more vitamins can promote development—I said, is it useful for you to take vitamins? I also learn from my sister, and see how honest Pandora is usually... "
Before I finished speaking, Viska pouted and pointed at Pandora and muttered, "This guy, I heard that drinking milk to grow tall has kidnapped all the bison in Avalon."
"It's all bulls," Pandora complained in a rare way.
Viska immediately raised his head triumphantly: "I hid it in advance because of the cow."
Then it's Mortal Kombat time between the awkward sisters.
"To be honest, Wood, sometimes I really admire you." After avoiding the smoky Pandora*Visca battle zone far away, Lin Xue leaned over and teased, "You were Nightingale in your last life." Bar?"
No, I was just a J-11 with broken wings in my previous life.
"How long will it take for all the people here to be repatriated?"
In such a happy (?) atmosphere, it took us about two hours to inspect every facility in the hub square. As soon as we found a place to rest, I couldn't wait to ask the person in charge here, Sivis.
"Repatriation of the traversers is a very smooth job at the beginning, but it becomes slower and more troublesome in the later stages," said Pandora's external thinking circuit, Sivis, the elder sister of Hei Changzhi, immediately entered a serious state when reporting the work, although When my general and his sister fought just now, she was the first to become a monument, "Although it seems that our work is progressing rapidly, and thousands of outsiders are sent into the space-time channel every hour, it won't take long , this speed will slow down, and one-third of the traversers are still unable to confirm their source, or although they have found their world, they cannot be directly reached because it is too remote, and we need to establish a beacon in the void—this is It is the most time-consuming, if we want to let them all go home, it may take another month."
"It's not too much beyond my expectation." I nodded.
"One more thing," Sivis added, "There are a very small number of traversers who want to settle in Shadow City and have passed the review, or we have actively invited them to settle here through comprehensive considerations, such as Lilianu With Saeko Busujima and the others, although these people have obtained the registration of the world management terminal, the final arrangement is still a problem. Now they are still living in the residential area for the time being, but the residential area will be gone in a month. The most suitable solution is to let them live with the existing residents of Shadow City, but... "
But now more than half of the residents of Shadow City are outsiders, right? Except for the officers of the empire, there are heroes from all over the world. They are not good neighbors. It's not that these heroes of all races have any xenophobic habits, but...
How can you put it this way, can you accept as a neighbor a king of the hill who transforms into a giant every day and clinks irons in the yard, or a blood elf mage who studies arcane energy every day and creates an explosion every twelve hours? Maybe they are used to each other, but I firmly believe that other people can't stand it.
"Unless there are dangerous species like Saiyans, all others will be placed in the Academy City area," I made a decision after weighing it up, "The premise is that they don't affect the normal life of the Misaka sisters... eh, yes, just right Those time travelers who are suitable will be arranged to teach in the schools of the younger sisters, and let the gang of imperial soldiers teach the Misakas, Mikoto will miss me so much when she comes next time."
"To be honest, I've been worrying about the education of the Misaka sisters," Lin Xue frowned pretending to be serious, "Mu, don't you think their usual classes are too rich?"
I scratched my hair: "But they responded very well. Sister Misaka said that life is very happy now."
"It's too much fun..." Lin Xue shrugged, "In addition to the regular cultural classes, there are also courses including opening Gundam, mech building, battleship maintenance, quantum engineering, elemental magic, advanced arcane art, violin, sand painting, advanced alchemy, soul Science, shamanism, voodoo, heroic spirit summoning, ancient martial arts from all over the world, magic, shooting, ballistics, nuclear bomb manufacturing and maintenance, space magic, cold weapon fighting, assassination, poisonous, etiquette, dance, strategy Command, Stealth Skills, Hunter Skills, Advanced Holy Light... "
"Stop, stop, stop..." I told Lin Xue to say stop quickly, but the other party ignored it completely and continued to shake his head: "... animation production, 3D modeling, fighter piloting, fire coverage, archeology, Sculpture, flower arrangement, bioengineering, priesthood, cooking, massage, improvement of anti-matter weapons, paper-cutting, singing, psycho-cybernetics, introduction to annihilation, shadow energy, spells, black magic... Last month, Qianqian also opened the door Time History , In addition, there are probably two of the traversers who can teach the method of freedom... Wood, I haven't finished talking yet."
I admit that at this moment, my body has become a monument, and everyone can come and pay their respects.
"There are about two hundred elective courses, and what's more terrible is that, including the previous cultural courses, all of these courses are chosen according to personal interests. It doesn't matter if you can't learn it or not. It doesn't matter, even if you go crazy, you just need to send it to the World Tree Temple, my God, that military academy has now become a monster barracks and a nursery—this kind of life is too much fun, right?"
Anyway, Qianqian must like that kind of school atmosphere, that girl has long been proclaimed the honorary principal.
However, I have no intention of changing the current life of the Misaka sisters so that they can live a happy life. It is a military academy that is not a success. If you really have a heart, it should only take half a semester to study in it to become Clark Kent. It is also reasonable for Lin Xue to say that it is a "monster barracks". Last time, there were two great blood elves. You submitted an application to me and wanted your child to go in for further studies. It is said that the application was for the Department of Divine Art and Priesthood under the name of Dean Lilina (I want to say Dumbledore), but unfortunately, Lilina went to gone...
Speaking of Lilina, I don't know what happened to that girl. Drifting in another world is probably the thing she fears the most. Unfortunately, according to Tavel's final analysis, all coordinates can only be located after the space-time turbulence is completely calm. All I can do now is to pray for her... the oppressed people from other worlds.
"By the way, Ah Jun, he has an immature idea."
Just as I was deeply thinking about Lilina (... ), who had turned into a beautiful figure on the other side of the Santu River, Qianqian suddenly had her eyes lit up and jumped over.
Can you not say yes
"Let's save this hub"
As a result, Qianqian still said it.
"Save it?" I tried my best to think about the plans that Qianqian might have at this time, but of course it was in vain, "What are you going to do?"
Qianqian lowered her head in embarrassment: "It was so hard for everyone to get together so lively, and now we are leaving, feeling empty... If you keep this teleportation hub, there may be people from other worlds who want to come back and gather together ...Well, Ah Jun, I know this is a bit too much, and it will cause a lot of trouble for Sivis and the others, but... "
It turned out to be like this, the factor in my bones that naturally likes to be lively became active.
Although a bit unexpected, it fits Qianqian's usual personality: this is a silly girl who likes everyone to have fun together, whenever there is trouble, she will be very happy. It seems that she has been through the tide for more than a month. Had a good time, and now, everything is about to settle down, and the lively and interesting visitors from all over the world have to go away, and I feel lost.
Leaving this teleportation hub will allow those outsiders to come back and get together, and the joyful gathering will never end, just shallow and occasional small willfulness.
"Sandora, is it possible?"
This time Qianqian rarely expected to implement the plan immediately, but sensiblely realized the trouble it might cause to other people, which made me feel very happy, so after thinking for a while, I asked how feasible the plan was, If it's not too much, it's okay to satisfy Qianqian's small wish.
"Perhaps we need to consider the long-term security issues of foreign civilians entering the shadow fortress, but it can be easily resolved through technical means and military control," Sandora nodded, "and this plan is not without any benefits—a large number of new world coordinates And stable passages are quite precious intangible wealth for the empire. Jun, I haven’t told you yet. In fact, after these traversers go back, I also want to save those world coordinates and space passages. After the conditions are met, expand the influence to an unimaginable range, although it may take a long time, but it is not troublesome to use these channels to realize the superficial plan."
"Long live" Qianqian became excited all of a sudden, "Ajun, let's start a travel company, everyone has already thought of the name..."
I knew that this girl's crazy thinking was just the beginning.
But put the travel company aside, it seems, I came up with a good idea... V
