    Chapter 136

    The next second, the space they were in suddenly became violently distorted.

    In the automatically operating computer room, dazzling red error reminders appeared on all screens.

    The high-frequency flashing screen and the sharp siren instantly grabbed people's nerves, like a cold ice pick being stabbed from the temple, and the illusion of the entire orphanage began to be compressed and pulled.

    On the third floor of the orphanage, the player who was playing hide-and-seek with the ghost of the director suddenly became concerned: "What's going on! What happened again?!"

    "They made it upstairs!"

    Sui Zhengfan stopped, he already had the gun in his hand: "The shackles of the game world have been released, we must act fast!"

    He tried to flip the safety, heard a crisp knocking sound, and held the gun firmly.

    ——Before this, players were forced to play the role of children in the orphanage. Any behavior that did not conform to the settings was not allowed, let alone shooting with guns.

    Yu Tang and Zhan Chen succeeded upstairs. Something happened to the computer room that controlled the orphanage, and the restrictions on players were initially lifted!

    Amid the violent vibrations in the space, knocking sounds were heard along the walls, spaced at regular intervals. They were old-fashioned passwords that had long since been eliminated.

    "The 'Auditor' has been dragged into the game by the electronic storm, and the 'Administrator' has just been captured and obtained the key to unlock the terminal."

    Sui Zhengfan counted the knocks attentively: "Our task is to deal with the intermediary."

    It is true that high-dimensional space can be smeared and modified arbitrarily in low-dimensional space, and even low-dimensional space can be obliterated, but low-dimensional space also has a last resort.

    ...Destroy all lower dimensions.

    In the same space, when all the lower dimensions are destroyed by themselves, the highest dimension will fall down.

    Sui Zhengfan understood what Yu Tang and Zhan Chen really wanted to do.

    It is too difficult to get to the "Bookstore" that almost only exists in legends. Apart from electronic storms, only data that ignores dimensions can come and go freely, but as long as it is data, it will be hijacked by the terminal.

    The terminal accepted the role in this book. Once all the lower dimensions completely collapse, the coward who hides in the high dimension and only dares to use interests and fear to manipulate the demons to harvest the world will no longer be able to hide..

    If you can't go up, pull it down.

    Electronic Storm wants to correct mistakes and re-write the rules of this world.

    Yu Tang wants to force the terminal to completely fall into this world.

    "We must deal with the Director of the Secret Service here." Sui Zhengfan said, "In this way, the orphanage will be completely out of control - watch out!"

    He pulled Dai Lei forcefully, and the out-of-control data storm passed by Dai Lei's shoulders, turning everything that swept through it into a gray data stream.

    The dean's ghost seems to have sensed the danger. He no longer chases the player, but turns around and tries to escape downstairs.

    "No, electricity has no effect on him!"

    Chai Ning was sweating on his forehead: "He is a portrait and a ghost in the orphanage. Physical attacks cannot hurt him!"

    This is a restricted rule of the orphanage. The orphanage is controlled by the director. It is a puppet realm completely controlled by the director. There is never a way to completely kill the director.

    The director's portrait can always be hung in every corner of the orphanage.

    "Try to stop him, think of ways along the way." Sui Zhengfan's eyes darkened, "Light up the road a little, and think of ways to join the other group first."

    Chai Ning pressed the power box, and the crackling red current spurted out sparks along the line, forcibly lighting up the lights along the way and brightly illuminating the windowless corridor.

    Because No. 19 and No. 45 used to hunt here, there are countless book spaces scattered on the third floor.

    After separating from Yu Tang, the players also divided into two teams.Team doctor Sui took Song Sihang and Meng Nanke to search for the scattered original works. They noticed that the environment had changed and had begun to move towards them.

    The identities of hunter and prey have been reversed. They have to avoid the wandering data turbulence while trying to eliminate the director of the orphanage.

    "Don't just shoot!"

    Chai Ning looked at Dai Lei and shook her palms that were hot from the current: "Mr. Sui uses a gun because he has no offensive power. What is your power? Why haven't you used it yet?" DaiLei fired again: "My superpower is to shoot, what can I do!"

    When the members sent by the Security Department took the initiative to undergo transformation in order to complete their tasks, the superpower he suddenly developed was the most useless one.

    His domain is the "shooting range", and his superpower is "the ability to hit the bull's-eye with accuracy."

    "I can hit the bull's-eye without any special powers!" Dai Lei was terribly worried. "It's not as good as someone who can pour mental power into any object and turn it into a bullet..."

    Chai Ning turned sideways and dodged through a turbulent flow of data: "..."

    "When the superpowers came out, I felt like all the devil training camps I attended were in vain!"

    Dai Lei got upset when he talked about this: "The eight-hundred-meter field is useless except for mental energy! The limitations of this thing are terrible. I must have a gun, and the target must have a painted bullseye...…”

    Sui Zhengfan suddenly paused and his eyes fell on him.

    Dai Lei was frightened and stopped: "What's wrong?"

    Sui Zhengfan asked: "As long as there is a bull's-eye, you can definitely hit it?"

    "Yes... that's right." Dai Lei hesitated, "It can also be done around corners, even if there are obstacles."

    If it weren't for the weird rule restriction of "the target must have a bull's-eye", his ability is actually not weak. It is even an extremely useful ability for agents who are often responsible for covert operations.

    But if you really have time to sneak in and draw a bullseye on the target calmly, there is no point in going to the trouble of shooting——

    "There is a bullseye." Sui Zhengfan said.

    Dai Lei was stunned.

    Sui Zhengfan took a deep look at the data turbulence that turned into a storm.

    ... Electronic Storm wanted to take revenge on the Director of the Secret Service, so he asked Zhan Chen to draw black circles and two crosses on the portrait of the Director of the Secret Service.

    At that time, he lent the pen to Zhan Chen and looked at the boy curled up on the sofa. He thought that Electronic Storm was ignorant of the world and had the temper of a child.

    Zhan Chen doesn't know how to play pranks.His life was cleared and then filled again. The early operational agent training of the Ministry of Security was so harsh that it was terrifying. This training model was brought to the special forces by Sui Zhengfan and became the famous devil training.

    Those two straight crosses formed a bullseye on the portrait.

    "Expand your territory." Sui Zhengfan threw his gun to Dai Lei, "Shoot."

    Dai Lei was stunned for a moment: "But -"

    He met Sui Zhengfan's gaze and swallowed unconsciously, swallowing back his questioning words.

    ...Although at first he only thought that the couple were ordinary civilians, as the dangers they encountered continued to increase, Dai Lei began to have more and more vague premonitions.

    He did not dare to say any more, so he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, expanded his field, and held the specially modified military electromagnetic shotgun.

    The moment the trigger was pulled, the ghost that they could not hit no matter what they did, suddenly let out a shrill scream.

    Throughout the orphanage, small slowly burning holes appeared on every portrait of the director.

    Different from ordinary firearms, shotguns attack mainly on the surface. The electromagnetic waves that replace the deer bullets will not really penetrate a single point in a concentrated manner, but will hit the target in a scattered manner. The effective area of ​​the attack will be greatly increased.

    The entire painting was ignited by the high heat caused by electromagnetic waves. The holes quickly spread and connected, and the blackened edges were licked in by new gray flames in an instant.

    The ghost was stuck in mid-air, twisting and convulsing violently, and its body also had holes that were exactly the same as those in the portrait.

    Burnt debris continued to fall from his body, and was swept into the intensifying hurricane by the data turbulence.

    Team doctor Sui led people from the other side of the corridor to join them. His eyes fell on the twisted and burning gray flame. He stopped cautiously and made a distant gesture to his husband.

    The Secret Service chief is frantically tinkering with his body.

    Everything in the orphanage is gray, even the flames ignited by electromagnetic waves. The flames that lose their color will be extinguished quickly. They will lose heat quickly, and like the crosses made by the two red pens, they will also become darker and lighter.No—grey.

    If it weren't for this, the Director of the Secret Service might have been completely eliminated by the gun just now.

    "This is my orphanage..." The ghost's voice was hoarse and changed its tone. It was trying its best to fill the hole that had been burned out, and its nearly dissipated body was filled with new gray traces.

    "Zhong San and Wen Yi will be plotted by the electronic storm. Sui Si is trapped in this world and cannot go back. It's all because the electronic storm caught their weaknesses. They fell into the trap themselves."

    The ghost's voice was like gravel squeezing gravel and dust, with a harsh murmur: "But I have no weakness, I have already given up everything."

    "I gave up everything, so I gained everything. I won't die."

    The ghost twisted and deformed in the air. It had completely separated from the appearance of the director of the Secret Service and became chaotic and ferocious: "You can't do anything to me, you-"

    Its voice stopped suddenly, and its eyes were fixed not far away in fear.

    Sui Zhengfan turned around.

    Most of their floor had been swallowed up by the data storm. Not far behind them, Yu Tang was sitting on the wall that had been mostly cut away, casually pushing aside a cloud of gray chaos.

    Ghost was not looking at Electronic Storm. He stared behind Yu Tang and trembled uncontrollably.

    His empty pupils stared intently at Zhan Chen, who had changed back into the attire of a mall manager.

    "I recognize you, Director." Zhan Chen said, "I should have recognized you a long time ago."

    When the Director of the Secret Service was swallowed into the lowest dimension by that space and turned into a portrait, he heard a sharp noise similar to the chirping of insects.

    "If the Ministry of Security doesn't even trust the special operations team, Chief Sui will be asked to go undercover to explore the positions of the special operations forces and the sharp knife team."

    Zhan Chen looked at him: "Why don't you find someone to work undercover to infiltrate the conservative forces and try to become their right-hand man?"

    He should have been suspicious.

    If it were just an intruding mecha and a reckless mecha operator who disobeyed orders, Sui Zhengfan would not be worthy of letting Sui Zhengfan personally go deep into the insect swarm to rescue him, or even lose an arm.

    Sui Zhengfan - He has been in the special operations team, and then fell into the electronic storm. After coming out, he entered the game world.He didn't know what happened next. He didn't know that because the Secret Service director couldn't control his greed, he fell into the trap of the conservatives and was handed over as a "sample" for trading with the Zerg.

    "Your other identity has been transformed into an insect. You used the power card to partially escape. You returned to the Secret Service and continued to be your Secret Service Director."

    "Your information is the highest level secret. Even Pu Ying has no authority to access it. Everything you do is an absolute secret."

    "Just like no one knows who the last chief of the Special Investigation Section was except you."

    Zhan Chen said: "Except for Chief Sui, no one knows that the director of the Secret Service who specializes in opposing conservatives actually has an identity."

    This identity is even complete - he has his own pseudonym, a family, a son, and he also used his position to intercept a top-notch talented observer.

    If all the plot lines are not changed, the top young observer will be made into the best wingman AI, and the protagonist of the book will become the strongest mecha pilot, accepting the admiration and worship of everyone, and possessingAnything imaginable.

    "This is your first book."

    Yu Tang's palm floated with intertwined pale white light: "You wrote yourself a son and named him Sheng Yi - you really want to see what the world with color looks like."

    After making the deal with the terminal, the Secret Service director regretted it.

    He was trapped in a world with only gray. No matter how powerful he was and how many people he could control the fate of, as long as he closed his eyes, he would see endless, deep and shallow gray.

    He racked his brains and used his identity as an intermediary to secretly add a book.

    "Sheng Yi has no mother at all, and you are not his real father - he is the first completely created empty shell."

    Yu Tang said: "When he becomes the strongest mecha pilot, you will pour him out and escape by yourself."

    "That's why you are so scared every time you see Senior Zhan."

    "You are not only afraid of an agent who has come back from the dead - you have a deep-rooted fear of the person in charge of the mall. You have been scared crazy by him. You would rather die than see him."

    Yu Tang looked at the gray mist: "I was once responsible for the role of Shi Ji. When you tried to attack me and let me be swallowed by AI fusion, you were exchanged seventy-three times by the person in charge of the mall."

    When it heard these words, the ghost trembled even more uncontrollably. It didn't care about repairing its damaged body, turned around and fled towards the stairs.

    Sui Zhengfan ordered sharply: "Shoot!"

    Dai Lei pulled the trigger one after another, and more and more tiny holes appeared on the ghost's body. It struggled desperately in the intense pain, rolling and trying its best to smear and replenish the gray marks.

    "You can't kill me...I won't die anymore!"

    The ghost hissed and begged for mercy: "Let me cooperate with you! Gray fire can't kill me. Stop shooting. I'm willing to cooperate with you..."

    "Can red fire kill you?" Yu Tang asked.

    The ghost shuddered hard.

    It seemed that it was vaguely aware of some kind of threat, and refused to make any sound. While repairing its body, it struggled to hide in the darkness.

    Yu Tang looked at Song Sihang: "I'll lend you something."

    Song Sihang was stunned: "What is it? I'm looking for—looking for—"

    Just as he responded, his hand suddenly felt a slight itching, as if some force had scratched the pad of his thumb, and a particularly eye-catching red patch was peeled off from his right thumb.

    "I recognize you." Yu Tang said, "You saved Luo Ran, thank you very much."

    Before Song Sihang realized what had happened, he watched the piece of paint being peeled off from his hand and nodded in confusion.

    ...Luo Ran was the target of his last mission.

    In the last mission, they followed Pu Ying to the General Scientific Research Institute to investigate the data theft case. He found a birthmark imitated with paint on Luo Ran's body, and accidentally touched it.

    The quality of the dye was very good. His thumb was red for several days, and then one day it suddenly turned into a standard flesh color.

    "This is the highest quality paint in Chuanshuju Shopping Mall. It will take about a hundred years to fade naturally."

    Yu Tang said: "I want to try."

    The ghost was almost nailed to the spot, looking at the bright and dazzling red mass in horror.

    The cloud of ash had already adhered to its eyes. It had not seen colors other than gray for a long time. These reds were not even attached to the flames, but they were already burning so hard that they curled up with all their strength.

    "Please spare me..."

    It struggled to beg for mercy: "I know I was wrong, and I am willing to cooperate with you. I regret it. I have regretted it a long time ago."

    The ghost was like a ball of dust, muttering in a hoarse voice: "I am the lowest dimension. If you destroy me, you will collapse from your dimension and become like me..."

    "No." Zhan Chen said, "I once made a contract with you, and you were in my domain at that time."

    The ghost trembled violently.

    …He remembered his promise.

    At that time, he had been exchanged seventy-three times, and watched himself being annihilated and reorganized seventy-three times. He could no longer care about anything and made the guarantee without hesitation.

    He told Zhan Chen that if he dared to think about electronic storm again, he would let Zhan Chen do whatever he wanted.

    ——For the person in charge of the mall, this promise means a formal exchange of ownership.

    This time, if Zhan Chen wants to redeem him again, the mall will no longer automatically return his money.

    "I didn't realize it at the time, but it turned out to be your other identity - but fortunately, fields don't recognize people, they only recognize promises."

    Zhan Chen said: "Now, I will collect the price."

    The space around him shook slightly, and the invisible realm spread out instantly.

    The flames turned a scorching red, and the ghost let out a shrill roar. His body twisted and deformed in the flames, and gradually turned into gray-white embers.

    Every picture on the wall was burned. The orphanage no longer belonged to anyone and was completely stripped out of the recycling bin.

    The windows reappeared on the wall, and the fire clouds painted red on the blue-purple sky. The afterglow of the setting sun fell in, and the graffiti became bright and vivid, and the bright colors rushed into people's eyes.

    The outgoing mall manager completed the last task.

    The director of the Secret Service fell into his worst nightmare - not even being able to die, completely losing his freedom, and becoming an inescapable part of these grays forever.

    The director of the Secret Service replaced the orphanage and blended into that gray world."I said."

    Zhan Chen: "Sheng Tiancheng, you might go crazy if you see me again."
