Sweep across the Doomsday Proving Ground [Unlimited]

This matter is mysterious.

I have seen subjects who were so frightened that they fainted directly, and I have also seen the heads of the organization with stiff faces and very ugly faces.

No. 2305 has worked so hard for the organization for so many years, and this is the first time he asked how to get to the investigation room.

Maybe because he had never met him before, he shook his fingers and pointed to one side blankly: "Go over there."

"Thank you." Gu Chengye patted him on the shoulder, his expression was no different from usual.

Number 2305: "?"

He looked at Gu Chengye's back and wanted to follow, but he heard Xu Zhuo say, "Stop."

No. 2305 stopped walking.

"I want to ask something first." Xu Zhuo said, "Forget it if you're in a hurry."

"Huh?" No. 2305 was taken aback when he heard that, and almost dropped the document he had just closed.

He doesn't understand.

It's fine if it's Gu Chengye, after all, he's a high-ranking official in their organization, and he can try his best to satisfy any request.

But Xu Zhuo, why would he cooperate like this?

While thinking, I heard Xu Zhuo ask: "Why did the supernatural officer become the subject?"

No. 2305 was taken aback.

"No specific requirements." He said calmly, as if deliberately concealing or lying: "Maybe it's just an accident, isn't it bound by you by accident like this?"

That makes sense.

At least Xu Zhuo has not found any logical loopholes for the time being.

So he didn't say anything else, followed the instructions expressionlessly, and walked out of the testing ground.

The siege was at the moment when the sun was setting.

Coming out of the dimly lit venue, Xu Zhuo narrowed his eyes a little uncomfortably, adapting to the light.

Starting from the sixth area of ​​the besieged city, it takes four to 10 minutes to reach the advanced investigation room where the second area is located.

In this era, there are no high-tech means of transportation. Railways and buses are the most common means of transportation. Even if there is any new transportation, it will not be on the subjects who need to check the chip.

So they have to go there in a small broken car.

When Xu Yan got into the car, he turned his head and glanced at the proprietress who was still selling pancakes.

Then, he turned around and got into the car.

The one who drove them there was still No. 2305.

Although the supernatural person's face is gray all year round, and he doesn't have all the emotions of a human being, he can clearly feel his embarrassment now.

Take your own chief to investigate?

No. 2305 suddenly felt that he might have offended his colleagues before, so he accepted such a good job.

The car swayed and drove all the way to the fifth district of the besieged city.

At this time, the sunset and night merge together, dyeing the skyline.Under the yellow-blue gradient sky, some warm yellow lights were lit up on the floors where the subjects lived.

It seems that there is a bit of the fireworks that human beings should have.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the side street.

This is a man whose chip has been picked out, his beard is unshaven and his clothes are ragged.At this moment, he was lying on the iron net of the sewer, picking up the bread crumbs in the net bag.

As long as he grabbed a little bit, he seemed to grab a life-saving straw and stuff it into his mouth desperately.

"useless."

Gu Chengye suddenly said something.

Xu Zhuo turned to look at him.

"The chip is the foundation of survival here. Without the chip, nothing can be done." Gu Chengye's tone was very light, but he just said plainly, "Wound infection is also a big problem."

"What will happen?"

"Who knows." Gu Chengye said, "To die of starvation, or to be taken in for a short time, it all depends on fate."

Xu Zhuo didn't say any more, he looked away.

The long eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes, as if his eyes had rested for a while.

He didn't open his eyes until the creaking sound of the car gradually disappeared and the hoarse voice of No. 2305 sounded.

The inspection room in front of him is a ten-story building.

It is indeed different from the previous low-rise buildings.

At the same time, No. 2305 said to them: "This is a temporary investigation room that the highest department asked us to set up. During this period, your actions will be strictly controlled. You can't leave until we have checked all the factors."

Although the words are not painful, but after checking out the abnormality, No. 2305 feels that the two people in front of him know what the ending is.

"Which one?" Gu Chengye asked suddenly.

No. 2305 immediately lowered his head. He took out a small electronic mechanical device, stared at it for a long time, and then said, "It's on the seventh floor. I'll take you there."

The investigation room was not as cold and damp as Xu Zhuo imagined, with dim light.

Instead, it was a reasonably spacious room with a sofa and a desk.And when No. 2305 opened the door to let them in, the bright lights from the floor-to-ceiling windows just fell in.

Xu Zhuo subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

He glanced around: "This is the investigation room? Are you sure you went right?"

Perhaps because the tone was too indifferent, No. 2305 opened his mouth: "This is..."

Before he had time to say anything, Gu Chengye suddenly said, "My original office."

Xu Zhuo was slightly taken aback.

"One of the office areas of the highest department is in this place." Gu Chengye said, "After being transferred by the organization, I went to the investigation room of the second district and was responsible for the inspection of chips there."

His tone was still the same, calm and unhurried, as if he was stating something as a bystander.

On the contrary, No. 2305's complexion changed slightly.

Without saying anything else, he stuffed the electronic equipment into the blue uniform, and wanted to close the door and leave.

And at the moment when he turned around, there was a rapid beeping sound from nowhere.

No. 2305's footsteps froze, and he suddenly reacted.

"I forgot to mention that you once triggered a reward mechanism when you were in the Ives dungeon." No. 2305 thought about the words, "The reward will be distributed before the investigation, please wait a moment."

After speaking, in front of the two in front of him, he walked out of the room quickly.

Not long after, No. 2305 came with two paper bags.

He put Gu Chengye's bag on the table respectfully, and then gave the rest to Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo tore open the paper bag, and saw a few pieces of dry bread, nutritional reagents, square compressed biscuits and a small piece of ham inside.

It doesn't seem to be useful, but it seems to come in handy for a while when he is banned from buying any supplies.

"It's rewarded by the system, I hope it can be helpful to you." No. 2305 said, "Now the investigation has begun, and the scope starts from the moment the vision is bound. Drive them out of the inner city."

"I will continue to notify you of the specific investigation situation. Please wait a moment..." He paused for a while, and continued, "Wait a little bit, and the results will come out soon."

As soon as the voice fell, No. 2305 quickly walked out of the room.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared completely, Xu Zhuo said slowly: "When did you transfer it?"

"what?"

"This is not a curiosity, but I just want to know more about it." Xu Zhuo said, "Is it because of something that you were transferred to the second district?"

Gu Chengye narrowed his eyes to look at him.

Just like every time before, his emotions are always unclear.

But Xu Zhuo didn't care much about this.

He leaned against the side of the sofa, looking at Gu Chengye expressionlessly.

At this moment, there are only the two of them in this space.

The light outside the window came in, Gu Chengye didn't answer Xu Zhuo directly, he went straight to the desk and said lightly: "Maybe."

After the words fell, he gently tore open the paper bag.

"In a supernatural organization, you will never be alone." Gu Chengye glanced at the contents of the paper bag, and then said to Xu Zhuo, "Including me."

Xu Zhuo pursed her lips and looked at him.

During the days of the siege, it was not that Xu Zhuo had never heard of Gu Chengye's rumors.

Many of the reports published by the mainland of the siege will also have some topics about supernatural organizations-within the scope of the organization's permission, some gossip reports are also allowed.

Among them, there are many rumors about Gu Chengye.

I heard that not long ago, he was suspected by the senior management of the supernatural organization because of something, and then he was locked up for most of the day.

The time should be after the copy of Sunset City.

At that time, Xu Zhuo was rushing to investigate the situation in the black market, so he didn't pay much attention.

But because such topics and reports are overwhelming, even if they don't want to know, they will passively input something.

For Xu Zhuo, there are many things that he never forgets when he sees them.

Including such reports.

In those mysterious gossip reports, it was mentioned that Gu Chengye had leaked secrets to the subjects.

I don't know whether it's true or not.

But Xu Zhuo never took this kind of thing seriously.

However, in this report, the tone of the whistleblower is very positive.

He said that for some unspoken reason, Gu Chengye suddenly entered a dungeon as a subject, and in that dungeon, the key to solving the problem was given to the subject in the dungeon by an extremely improper means. tester.

And at the end of the report, that person also mumbled that the secret should not be revealed.

Xu Zhuo naturally dare not be interested.

But looking at the current situation and Gu Chengye's performance in the last level, he suddenly became a little curious.

—Who did he help then?

The light outside the window is still the same, along with the night, it even has the meaning of bright lights.

Although he was curious, Xu Zhuo didn't say anything more. After putting the paper bag on the table, he sat down on the sofa unceremoniously.

Gu Chengye raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a while, then took out the document from the desk, and wrote something with a brush.

The chips on their arms flashed a faint white light.

This is the sign of the investigation of supernatural organizations.

It means that the highest department is analyzing, if any abnormality is found, the chip will be taken out directly, and by the way, it will be decided whether to execute the subject according to the degree.

But the two people in the room didn't look like they should be investigating.

One was resting with downcast eyes, and the other was reviewing documents.

For them who remain calm, it seems that it is just a rest.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a respectful thump, thump, thump.

Three knocks on the door.

"Colonel Gu." The voice from No. 2305 came in from outside the door, "The investigation has ended. This round has passed various emotional tests, and the behavior of each node is the basis of analysis. There is no abnormality after the investigation."

"However, the follow-up organization will further investigate the situation, so if necessary, I will ask you to cooperate with the investigation. You and Xu Zhuo can go back now."

Gu Chengye hummed.

No. 2305 was not allowed to enter the door, but said lightly: "Understood."

As soon as this tone came out, No. 2305 reflexively took a few steps back.

He stood with his head tilted for a while, as if analyzing something with data.

After rolling his gray eyeballs a few times, he came to the conclusion that he couldn't open the door hastily, so he turned around mechanically, and then left.

In their supernatural organization, supernatural beings are usually divided into two groups, one group is relatively low-level, so they all do chip entry and inspection work in the inner area of ​​​​the besieged city, and do not need to do any extra work.

The other category is the advanced category of supernatural beings.

Through the analysis of human emotions, they have accumulated a little foundation, so they can have daily emotions just like humans.

And No. 2305, as Gu Chengye's subordinate, naturally falls into the second category of high-level supernatural beings.

Therefore, he will always inadvertently look at work with some human perspective, as well as his boss Gu Chengye.

It's strange to say that Gu Chengye seems to have suddenly emerged from the supernatural organization, and then suddenly became the leader of the department.

Everything seemed to be arranged.

At the very beginning, when he heard that it was the human colonel, he joked with No. 2308, who had been drinking with him, that there was another scapegoat.

Adding human identity to this kind of department, it is estimated that it will not go very far.

But the facts have proved that Gu Chengye is almost at the forefront among the supernatural beings, whether it is execution ability, or natural endurance and force.

It's only been less than a month since he took office, and the department's attitude towards him has turned upside down.

Before long he was transferred to the top department.

For people with abilities like them, the highest department is out of reach.

So this matter is still suspected here at No. 2305 for a while.

But in the end, apart from losing a few drinks to No. 2308, the remaining doubts dissipated with time.

The attitude towards Colonel Gu in the department gradually became as respectful as he was, and in the end, just hearing the name even brought an indescribable deterrent effect.

No. 2305 sighed, and pressed the elevator button with the heavy documents in his arms.

At this moment, there was no light in the corridor, only the light in Gu Chengye's office was on, and a little light faintly peeked out from the crack in the door.

There were several supernatural beings who were also holding a large stack of documents standing in the elevator.

Without taking another look, No. 2305 went straight into the elevator with a muffled voice.

***

Hearing the sound of footsteps fade away, Xu Zhuo straightened up from the sofa.

He seemed to be uncomfortable for a moment, and even stopped for a moment, but the next moment he returned to his normal expression.

After glancing at Gu Chengye who was reviewing the documents, he turned and left.

And just as his fingertips touched the doorknob, Gu Chengye's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "You forgot something."

Xu Zhuo turned to look at him.

"Don't frown, it's not something important." Gu Chengye pushed one of the paper bags forward, "I gave you the number 2305 just now, did you forget?"

"No need." Xu Zhuo said, "Here you are."

Gu Chengye clicked his tongue, turned the pen in his hand and said, "Talk is better than nothing, just take it."

Xu Zhuo and him looked at each other for a few seconds.

Then, without saying anything, he picked up the paper bag on the table and walked out of the office.

On the night of the siege, there was no moonlight or stars, only sporadic street lights.

Because he was not familiar with the surrounding terrain, Xu Zhuo walked around this area for a while before finding the direction to the second district.

There was almost no one on the road except for the subjects wandering in search of food.

Holding the paper bag, he walked hurriedly, as if he was thinking about something, his expression focused and indifferent.

Gradually, the pain from the back mixed with the old injury spread, Xu Zhuo frowned, and stopped after walking around several buildings.

The streetlights shone at this moment.

Xu Zhuo leaned against the concrete wall and rested for a while with downcast eyes.

The cold feeling relieved the burning sensation of the wound, and at the same time, brought a sense of familiarity.

It seems that many times, he has leaned against a concrete room, waiting for something.

And the tall figure that appeared in dreams and hallucinations countless times, under the effect of this moment of pain, traces were found.

Xu Zhuo suddenly set his sights on the paper bag.

In the next second, he opened the seal of the paper bag.

I saw the contents inside as usual, biscuits, bread, ham and nutritional supplements.

It seems that there is no difference from before.

Xu Zhuo rummaged a few times, but suddenly stopped.

A note with a few words written in a pen.

In addition, there is a bottle of medicine that has never been used as a reward, which is quietly placed at the bottom of the paper bag.
