Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Well..."

"woke up?"

"Sir... I..."

"When you were fighting with the warrior, someone attacked me and sealed me in a barrier. I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found you injured and unconscious in the yard. I carried you into the house and treated your wounds."

"Thank... Thank you, sir."

"How about the samurai?"

"He is very powerful. I am no match for him."

Han Zu touched his chin with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.

"Someone wants to stop us from discovering something in this house. It may be related to the house with the barrier. We should..."

The swarm of bees on the ground seemed to have discovered something. Switching the perspective, Han Zu saw that the five people on the train were sneaking towards the direction of the building that Han Zu had sensed. Using the swarm of bees, Han Zu guided the bomber and used a sea of ​​fire to block the route between them, forcing the five people to change their route.

However, after the five people took a detour and crossed the sea of ​​fire, they continued to move in the original direction, but with some minor changes, as if they were chasing the location where the bomber disappeared.

Han Zu had a guess, and he guided the bomber again to carry out a second round of bombing not far from the last bombing area. Sure enough, after bypassing the sea of ​​fire again, the five men chased towards the location where the bomber disappeared.

Using fighter jets and bombers, Han Zu led them away for a distance in the opposite direction of the building and changed their route. After doing all this, Han Zu pretended to have come to some conclusion, helped Saori up, and came to the room with the barrier.

"The barrier seems to have disappeared. It seems that the people who attacked us must have taken something important from the locked room."

Han Zu walked over, crushed the lock on the door, opened the door and walked in. The huge room was empty. It had been emptied and nothing was left.

Letting Saori sit down with the help of the wall, Han Zu carefully "searched" the room, as if trying to find some remaining clues or traces.

Saori, who was sitting at the entrance of the room, was a little nervous. She was afraid that someone would accidentally leave some clues and be discovered by Han Zu. Although this person gave people the impression that he was a guy who liked to solve problems with brute force, in fact, he had a keen insight and could always find things that ordinary people would not notice.

"What is this? A business card?"

Saori's heart skipped a beat. As expected, those guys were careless and accidentally left behind a clue.

"Inoue Office? What is this place for? Look at Saori."

Han Zu walked over to Saori and sat down next to her, handing her the business card he found. Saori took the business card, and although she didn't do anything and looked very confused, Han Zu noticed her shrinking pupils the moment she took the business card.

"It doesn't say what the firm does specifically, so I don't know, sir."

"It seems that the people who attacked us are from this firm, or at least have a connection with the firm. I think we should go to this place and take a look."

On the back of the business card was the address of the office, which was consistent with the location of the building that Han Zu sensed, so it was not difficult to find.

"Returning the same way is not feasible. We should look for another way to see if we can get out."

Han Zu carried Saori on his back and left the useless house. Pretending it was a coincidence, after a while, he left the underground cave through the secret exit and returned to the street.

A room with a barrier in the old Ito family house.

"Hey~"

In a corner of the room, there was a faint sound of electricity, and something quickly appeared. It was a drone with optical camouflage that had been disassembled into parts.

The drone removed its optical camouflage, quickly and automatically reorganized, and then became invisible again, and it was unknown where it flew to.

After one hour.

"It should be right here."

Han Zu looked at the business card in his hand, raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. The sign on it read "Inoue". This was the address written on the business card.

"How are you, are you feeling better?"

Turning his head slightly, Han Zu was talking to Saori on his back.

"I am recovering quite well, sir. This is thanks to the cores you collected for me on the way. You can let me down now. I am very sorry for bothering you, sir."

Han Zu put Saori down with a kind smile on his face.

"It's a small matter. How about it? Can you fight? There may be enemies in this office."

"He has recovered 70% to 80%. It shouldn't be a problem. He won't hold you back, sir."

"It's okay, don't force it. Otherwise, you can find a safe place outside to rest first, and I can come find you after I finish what I'm doing here."

"I can, sir."

"That's fine."

Han Zu's expression was a little unnatural, and he seemed to be worried about Saori's safety.

Saori heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Han Zu had not discovered her secret and it was just a coincidence that he found her here. However, she could not let Han Zu enter the office alone, lest he really found something.

Walking up the steps in front of the office door and arriving in front of the door, Han Zu discovered that there was also a barrier here. However, Han Zu blocked Saori's sight with his body, stretched out a finger and tried, and successfully made a small hole in the barrier. It seems that this place is not indestructible.

"It can't be opened. There is also a barrier here. It seems that our direction is correct. Those who attacked us are indeed related to this firm. They are likely hiding here."

"So how do we behave as adults next?"

"Although the barrier cannot be opened for the time being, the coverage area of ​​this barrier should not be very large. I think we can try to enter from the roof. Maybe we can find a weak point in the barrier from the top floor."

Looking around, Han Zu found a building next to it, which was one floor higher than the office. Han Zu jumped over the roof of the building and reached the top floor of the office with Saori.

"It seems that there is no barrier on the top floor. Let me see if the door to the rooftop can be opened."

I opened the door to the rooftop and walked down two floors. These two floors looked like office areas, nothing special, but the window of one of the floors was broken for some reason, as if it was smashed by something from the outside. The desk closest to the gap seemed to have been turned over, and an open business card box fell to the ground next to it, with the business cards inside scattered all over the floor.

Continuing to walk down, they encountered the barrier again. Han Zu and Saori looked for a weak point on the barrier, trying to use this point to open the barrier.

During the search, Saori came to a window. She looked out and found the samurai from before. He was holding a briefcase in his hand and was quickly leaving the office in one direction.

Seeing this, Saori felt relieved, found a place and called out to Han Zu.

"My lord, I found the weak spot of the barrier! It's here!"

Han Zu walked over from another room, came to the location Sazhi said, and began to attack the barrier. Sazhi secretly put one hand behind her back, formed a seal with one hand, and slowly released the barrier. It looked like Han Zu's attack was successful.

These little movements did not escape Han Zu's observation. Of course, Han Zu was just pretending to attack the barrier and actually did not use any strength at all, otherwise he would have been able to break the barrier with just one punch.

"Phew~ It's not easy, but fortunately we can go in now."

Han Zu and Saori, each with their own ulterior motives, walked down the stairs and entered the location that had been previously sealed by the barrier.

These floors were different from the office areas outside. There were a lot of talismans in the rooms and corridors, and there were also many magic circles on the ground. But the strange thing was that these rooms full of talismans were no different from ordinary offices, except that some tables seemed to be relatively empty.

When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Saori suddenly saw something. She pretended to be unsteady and fell into Han Zu's arms. Han Zu supported her and asked her what was wrong. Saori said that her body had not fully recovered and she might need to rest for a while. Han Zu supported her and sat on the sofa on the side of the lobby.

Saori grabbed Han Zu and wouldn't let him leave. Their actions were very ambiguous, but in fact, Saori was trying to prevent Han Zu from discovering something.

In the center of the hall, there was a carpet that would have looked normal if it hadn't revealed the obvious wheel marks underneath.

It looked like someone had used a cart similar to one used to transport documents to carry something very heavy and was heading to a location on the left side of the hall. In order to avoid attracting attention, they put a carpet to cover the friction marks of the wheels.

"It seems that everyone here has left. Let's rest here for a while. When you feel better, we will leave and look for other places."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Saori sat on the sofa, leaning against Han Zu who was sitting next to her, and seemed to be resting. Maybe it was because of acting, or maybe she was really tired. Saori closed her eyes and took a nap.

During the time when Saori was resting, a strange thing happened. Han Zu's shadow suddenly became longer. After being stretched to an abnormal extent, the shadow suddenly broke in the middle, crawling to the side like a ghost, and disappeared from the entrance of the stairwell. Except for Han Zu, no one saw this scene, including Saori beside him.

After Saori had a good rest, Han Zu took her out of the office and searched for useful information on the street while dodging people holding umbrellas.

The journey was very peaceful. It seemed that they were not moving very fast in order to avoid those people holding umbrellas on the road. Their current location was actually not far from the office.

Not far ahead, two figures suddenly appeared and were slowly approaching Han Zu and Saori. A minute later, the four of them gathered together and confronted each other across a narrow road.

These two figures looked like two human-shaped monsters, wearing a Tengu mask and a Prajna mask on their faces respectively, and were wearing ill-fitting clothes that they had found from somewhere. Judging from the exposed parts of their bodies, there was shiny black fur underneath.

"These two guys are very strong, be careful Saori."

"I understand, sir."

Just as he finished speaking, two masked human-shaped monsters on the opposite side suddenly attacked Han Zu and Saori. The two reacted quickly and fought with the two monsters. Just as Han Zu said, these two monsters were very difficult to deal with. The four of them were in a stalemate and no one could do anything to the other.

Saori discovered that these two monsters were even immune to most of her attacks, and they cooperated with each other extremely well. This made things difficult. In addition to Han Zu and herself, there seemed to be a third force in Kawaki County.

"We have to separate them! You go right, I'll go left! After we deal with them, we'll meet up here! Let's go!"

Han Zu grabbed a monster, threw it away, ran after it, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street, leaving Saori and the other monster behind.

Saori couldn't spare any time, so she could only follow Han Zu's method and fight and retreat at the same time to lure the other monster away.

A few minutes later, in the lobby on the first floor of Inoue Office.

Han Zu was smoking the "Extermination Order" and patrolling the hall. The monster that he had thrown out just now was throwing the carpet in the hall aside. After doing all this, the monster returned to Han Zu.

Han Zu took off the Tengu mask on its face and crushed it into pieces.

"This mask is so ugly. Thank you for your hard work."

"Woo!"

The face under the mask was a hyena-like head, but its eyes were the same as Han Zu's in the dark, all pitch black, except that there were no black blood vessels extending from Han Zu's eye sockets. This was one of Han Zu's two Death Realm Hounds.

"Watch the gate and don't let anyone... no, any living thing in."

"Woo!"

The hound's body suddenly grew larger, becoming the size of the hound under the body of Tyrant Han Zu, blocking the door of the office.

Han Zu smoked a cigar and followed the wheel marks under the carpet. He entered a warehouse-like room from the left side of the hall. The layout of the warehouse was very strange. The containers and shelves were placed around the walls of the room, leaving a 3m x 3m square space in the middle.

"Dong dong dong."

Han Zu squatted down and knocked on the open space in the middle. An echo came, which meant that the space below must be empty.

Han Zu was just about to destroy the ground, but he found signs of wear and tear on the corner of a tile. He reached out and touched it, and found that the corner seemed to be able to be pressed down.

"Click."

"Buzz~Hiss~"

Pressing the corner of the floor tile, the open space in the center vibrated a little and began to slowly descend.

"It turned out to be an elevator."

Han Zu stood up, stretched, smoked a cigar and waited for the elevator to descend.

The speed of the elevator slowly increased, and after reaching its maximum speed, it continued to descend steadily. About five minutes later, the elevator reached the bottom. At the bottom was a wide passage made of concrete. The passage was very dark. Han Zu's eyes changed again and adapted to the dark environment.

Walking forward along the passage, Han Zu came to a half-open metal gate. Han Zu pushed the gate upwards and walked in with his head down.

Compared with the room, metal gate and long passage, the inside seemed a little too ordinary. It looked like a maintenance garage with some mechanical workbenches and metal parts of all sizes.

From the traces on the floor of the room, Han Zu deduced that there should have been a lot of things piled up here, but they have all been moved away now. After searching the room, Han Zu found a small locked door.

There was no system prompt on the small door, indicating that it could be destroyed. Han Zu easily pulled the door down and walked into the room inside. A dormitory-like lounge with several bunk beds.

There were several bodies lying on the floor of the room, wearing what looked like chemical protection suits and gas masks on their faces. The bodies were all shot in the head from behind, and they probably had no defense before they died.

“Kala la la la…”

There was something making a sound among the corpses, and it sounded like some kind of instrument. Han Zu walked over, picked up the thing that made the sound, and examined it carefully.

"Geiger counter? Why...wait."

Han Zu's expression became serious. He walked out of the lounge with a Geiger counter and returned to the maintenance room. Sure enough, a large amount of radiation was detected around the workbenches and parts.

Han Zu looked at some of the larger parts and his face darkened. He now knew what this place was used for.

"You bastard, you really dare to think that!"

Han Zu thought about it carefully, determined his next goal, took a deep puff of cigar, calmed down his excitement, and restrained his emotions. He was ready to return to the ground and continue acting.

"What are you doing?"

"Confirm丨丶"

The system suddenly popped up a prompt, and there seemed to be two options, one was confirmation, and although the other was garbled, it could be inferred that it should be rejection.

Han Zu was still thinking about the scene he had seen before. He didn't pay attention and directly clicked OK. Suddenly, a new skill appeared in his skill slot and was slowly moving into the progress bar.

However, Han Zu's mind was not on this for the time being, and the system was currently full of garbled characters, so he couldn't see it even if he wanted to.

Taking a deep puff of his cigar, Han Zu left the underground facility and returned to the first floor lobby of the office.
