On October 8th, the seven-day National Day holiday ended. I boarded the train or plane on my way home and returned to my daily work day after day, looking at the same scenery as always.

Do you feel a kind of loneliness when the fireworks are over?

How was your holiday? Did you feel happy or satisfied? Did you feel alone or alone? Did you find someone to spend the holiday with while pulling the trolley suitcase, or did you wander around alone in a strange place?

city ​​of?

Thousands of people with thousands of faces make the world different.

The island on the tropical ocean also ended its last free time. Negotiations and preparations began before a certain fool disappeared last month. The month-long preparations, four years after the last regrettable failure,

The national war has finally arrived!

"The final confirmation from Europe has been received, and the testing of the simulated scenario has been completely completed."

The crisp sound of heels sounded resolutely on the bright floor tiles. He checked the last message with his hands and followed Ye Sheng step by step. Hua Ling confirmed the last time on his watch and walked towards the underground training ground.

of lifts.

"How's the space access to the simulation scene going?"

In the top-floor room of the villa, he raised his chin and asked the figure in front of him to tie his tie. Looking at himself in the mirror, the young master's voice was calm, but in front of him, Emma's cold face, cold voice, and lowered eyes

No expression.

"The system permissions have been passed and you can enter the simulation scene at any time."

On the platform with complete leisure facilities on the second floor, there is only one figure on the scattered sofas. He has changed clothes early. The slightly loose shirt and tie in the dark suit only highlight his free and easy look. He looks at the blue sea outside the huge glass window.

When no one knew what he was thinking, a familiar friend behind him gently patted his shoulder.

"The time has come, let's go, let's set off."

The alchemist watched the magician lift his top hat and smile at himself, and the uncle who was also rarely seen in a formal suit rubbed his head vigorously.

"You brat who finally thought about it, why are you hanging out here alone?"

In the underground training ground with traces of yesterday's battle, in the locker room on the side of the passage, a close-fitting black suit outlines the curves of a mature woman, and a black short skirt that is easy to move reveals the girl's slender legs. She looks at the recovery who is arranging her clothes.

, Qing Ning asked about this rather formal outfit that was tailor-made for each person:

"Speaking of which, do we really need to dress like this?"

On the side, Mucheng, who had already changed by herself, yawned lazily and nodded at the high-heeled leather boots specially designed for combat. It was rare that she was wearing formal clothes, which made her look a little different and she answered calmly:

"It can't be helped. After all, this is a formal occasion between the same official forces."

At the same time, in the locker room on the other side, Su Qun looked at Jotta who had changed his clothes, but still had a nervous look on his face, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, let's go."

At the same time that the entrance gates of the underground training ground were opened,

Stepping forward were the members of the night bureau, all dressed in neat black suits, black ties and high-heeled leather boots, with slender figures!

Looking at the people gathered together, Ye Sheng looked at the watch hand that was pointing to the hour, opened the night network interface to confirm the final check, and then asked calmly:

"Is everyone here?"

After loosening the collar of his shirt, Meng Lang looked around and glanced at Gou Yu, who was overly handsome in this formal night outfit next to him, and suddenly asked dumbfounded:

"Wait, where is my brother?"

"I don't know. When I went to the captain's room in the morning, I didn't see him."

Gou Yu shook his head and sighed helplessly. At the same time, everyone else frowned and found that Fang Ran had not arrived yet.

Su Xing glanced at the few minutes left. He was a little surprised why Fangran hadn't come yet and asked everyone:

"Has any of you seen little brother Fang Ran?"

Then when everyone shook their heads, Ye Sheng remembered the last time he met Fang Ran last night. Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps at the door of the training ground, and a figure ran in carrying a large rectangular mechanical box.

Fang Ran, who was also wearing a dark suit and tie, wore specially made clothes and leather boots in order not to affect his movements. He also had a loose tie on the collar of his white shirt, which looked like he had just put it on in a hurry.

"Ah, sorry, I'm late."

I didn't expect that I would have to change into formal clothes...

Fang Ran, who was originally squeezing time to return to the island villa, recalled with a slight shame that he had just entered the house and saw Gou Yu's dark suit on his bed with a note that he must put it on.

"It's okay, the time is just right, Emma, ​​make sure the process is correct for the last time, and activate the access permission to the simulation scene."

Emma, ​​who was standing aside, opened her eyes that were filled with data, and her voice was calm and emotionless.

"The space coordinates are stable...the space coefficient verification is completed...the jump permission is obtained...the permission to enter the simulation scene is passed...the simulation scene is entered..."

"start up."

The moment the words fell, the main body of the villa suddenly began to collapse outside a circular range centered on the ground beneath the feet of everyone in the night game. The building shook and shattered, and the ceiling fell.

Fang Ran was startled by this sudden scene, but he found that everyone around him was calm and composed, not panicking at all, and most importantly...

Wait...have I seen this landslide scene at a certain station...

Then the next second when Fangran blinked and was stunned, the scene of the collapse was like shattered glass, revealing the outside world. While the air currents roared in the sky,

The blue, distant, open sky is coming towards you!!

Fangran discovered that the ground they were standing on was high in the sky above a huge city!

The surrounding walls rose up like a flat ground, and luxurious decorations and sofa seats appeared out of thin air behind everyone. The rapidly constructed walls finally covered the ceiling like a box to form an open room!

"Haha, how about it, were you shocked just now? Brother Fangran, let me tell you that this simulation scene can not only exchange for specific reward scene opportunities with the system, but also set the entry method and such a viewing room according to personal preferences.

oh."

Noticing the confusion on Fangran's face, the eldest young master laughed and patted his shoulder, showing off the somewhat 'special' entry CG he had set up just now.

But she slowly realized the meaning of his words, and suddenly remembered the first time she was 'smashed to death'. Fangran's eyes widened, staring at the young master as if he was seeing Godzilla, wanting to give him

I rub my hands together and feel that I have finally found the root cause of my "fall wherever I go".

ヽ(#`Д′)? It turns out that the station collapsed because of your nonsense!

Seeing that he had successfully entered the simulation scene, he sensed that the auras of people also appeared in the sky opposite. The alchemist moved his shoulders and stood up, smiled at Ye Sheng and said:

"It's a customary greeting, right? I'll go with you this time, Ye Sheng."

His smile reflected in his dark eyes, Ye Sheng didn't know what to say and nodded:

"Um."

The figure disappeared from the viewing room floating in the sky, and Ye Sheng and Fang Shuzhi appeared out of thin air in the sky not far away. In the howling wind was the open sky world above London, and then almost at the same time, the same two people appeared opposite them.

Tao's figure appeared.

Astonishingly, they were the two A-level members of the Royal Court, Korossos and Hershel Linhua!

The moment the figure appeared, Corossus, who was the most senior person present, was still leaning on crutches. Dressed as an ancient British gentleman, he looked at the tall figure of Ye Sheng across the sky and spoke in a low voice with emotion:

"Should I say that she is worthy of being that man, Ye Jiangran's daughter... It's amazing to have such strength at this age."

Beside him, Herschel, who looked elegant and noble, also had a look of agreement. According to her perception, Ye Sheng's strength has been completely different from four years ago, and he has actually reached the second level of A level!

"You are very grateful, Lord Colossus."

Ye Sheng answered softly and calmly, and then Korossus smiled and then looked at the alchemist next to her, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a smile:

"This aura and strength...ah...it turns out that you were the most outstanding young man in the night game of the previous generation. I thought you were also in that scene at the time, and I regretted it for a long time."

"It is truly an honor for me to be able to remember you for so long."

In response to Korossus's words, Alchemist raised his eyebrows and replied with a playful and nonchalant smile.

The bracelet transformed from Lingyuan on her wrist rang softly. Ye Sheng glanced at the vast forest made of concrete and steel bars below. The vastness and complexity of London's urban area was undoubtedly revealed!

Then she raised her gaze straight up to look at Korossus and Herschel Linhua, and spoke calmly and solemnly:

"This time, I will try my best to take back the honor of our national war victory over the past decades from the hands of your two excellencies."

"But we will also fight for honor and use all our strength to wash away the shame that we could only win in that way last time."

Herschel responded to her with his dull eyes. There was no need to say anything else. Four A-levels disappeared from the sky at the same time.

Return to the viewing room and sit back in your frontmost position. You can see the entire battlefield below in real time, and the virtual screen that will broadcast the battle in the city below slowly rises in front of Ye Sheng. It is still blank.

There is only a countdown that keeps beating.

‘Rank battle – countdown to the final stage of C-level’

‘Participants who are about to go into battle please enter the preparation area and fill up the arcane space’

‘Repeat, rank battle - countdown to the final stage of C-level’

'Please invite the participants who are about to compete...'

In the viewing room, the words of a mechanical voice came from the broadcast announcing the national war process. Hearing the continuous sound of the broadcast, the atmosphere of the battle rose. The jump light door of the war preparation space rose from the ground. Everyone in the night game was momentarily stunned.

He looked at Fang Ran, who had just awakened but was about to go into battle.

"Brother Fangran, you will be the first to appear soon. Remember to hide yourself at the beginning. Do you know the rules and procedures for preparing for the battle? Are you ready?"

Su Xing walked up to Fang Ran and helped him straighten his collar with some concern. Although she was the only person present who knew Fang Ran's true strength, she also knew that Fang Ran was no longer a night crow.
