my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 99 Curiosity and temptation on both sides
Wang Shui made sure that he didn't do anything.

Whether it was blocking the flying heavy warhead or crushing the unknown horse boy, it was all the work of the agency lady beside him.

Aqua Regia saw the rapidly fading energy pulses on her lavender irises, which were the characteristics of psychic energy, or the burst of spiritual energy.

The sound of fighting on the main street in front became much quieter. The agency lady secretly glanced at Wang Shui, and finally gritted her teeth and walked towards the front street.

Wang Shui has always remained calm.

The vanguards on both sides were aware of the sudden sudden death of someone, but they would not suddenly cease fire just because someone died.

If this is an accident, the opponent will take advantage of you if you stop;
If it wasn't an accident, then we couldn't stop and let others slaughter us.

So when the agency lady walked into the middle of the battlefield with a lavender shield, the people on both sides fought harder.

The bullets on the energy shield were rapidly accumulating, and the agency lady didn't seem to be struggling. She just lifted up her shawl and cloak, pulled out the revolver at her waist in a small gesture, and quickly fired a shot in both directions.

From the sound, it doesn't seem like an ordinary bullet.

Sure enough, at this moment in the world, the last sound was that special gunshot.

As the muzzle flash of her gun dimmed, the whole world became quiet.

[Leave the neighborhood and be silent for 5 minutes. 】

Such a sentence suddenly appeared in Wang Shui's mind, and he actually subconsciously wanted to execute it.

After half a second of daze, he broke away from this dazed state, but when he concentrated his attention again, the agency lady had returned to his side.

"Mr. Heishui, we can go take a look from the front."

"Ah."

Wang Shui's reply was quick and calm, which made the agency lady's eyes flicker.

The agency lady deliberately included him in the mental attack. Wang Shui immediately made a judgment.

Not understanding the other party's motives, Wang Shui chose to ignore it. This level of display of power was not excessive in this city, but Wang Shui was also preparing for his test.

Arriving at the front street, Wang Shui glanced at the messy battlefield. He didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the front of the building he chose.

This building is indeed not bad, because the South City side is rarely hit by a large number of artillery shells, so this building looks slightly old, but it does not affect its function.

The area is large enough, and it is an independent building. It is not connected to other buildings around it. The doors and windows are relatively small, and it looks a bit like a fortress.

Most of the houses here are of this style.

Wang Shui uploaded the videos from all angles to the internal network, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Although it looks a bit old, I really recommend it." Looking at Wang Shui's unabashed satisfaction, the agency lady began to follow the trend.

"Well, it's really good. I rented it. Can I sign the contract now?"

"Oh, of course, you can sign a digital contract and be authenticated by the dream system, but if you want the key, you may have to wait until night."

Wang Shui signed the contract on the street full of bullet casings and bullets, and said:
"Don't bother. I will change the locks here and renovate the inside. However, I hope you... um, haven't you asked me what to call you?"

Wang Shui used a more written expression, which was not really an honorific, but he said it because he wanted to know the other person's full name.

"[Sheena Morton], this is your real name, Mr. Blackwater."

As the intermediary, Ms. Xina gave her real name. She saw the signature of "Half Bottle of Water" written by Aqua Regia on the contract, and she complained casually.

"It doesn't matter,"

Wang Shui's face naturally ignored the ridicule, "I hope to entrust your firm to help me purchase some materials. As for changing the locks and decorating, I decided to do it myself."

"Of course, but our commission will be 1.5 thousand points higher than online channels."

“Standard price, very reasonable.”

Wang Shui nodded to express his understanding, and then continued:

"Has the contract been certified? I hope to get the materials today, and this list is the first batch."

"Of course, for future orders, can we contact you directly using the Dream Network account on the contract?"

"Okay, just contact me directly, but that's it for today. I won't waste Miss Xina's time anymore. Goodbye."

After a brief farewell, Wang Shui casually opened the [Mechanical Mystery Lock] on the main entrance of the building and walked directly in under the eyes of Xina with her jaw dropped.

Xina first rubbed her eyes, and then pinched her cheeks, which were a little baby fat.

Hiss - is it true? !
Xina used psychic energy to check herself from beginning to end and confirmed that this was not an illusion.

She ran to the door of the small building, and without caring about her image, she scratched the air in front of the door with both hands, as if she wanted to collect the air.

Then, in her hands, a golden mechanical cube was actually condensed from "air".

Looking at the mechanical parts that were constantly moving in her hands, Xina tried to enter the building with doubts.

Then, the scene in front of her blurred for a while, and the steps she originally took toward the inside led her out of the front porch.

yes?Is this right?Is the mystery lock working normally?
As she moved away from the building, the golden mechanical cube also turned into golden sand and dissipated in the air.

……

……

Xina returned to the office in a daze. When she entered the door, two guys who had just sat down at the end of the crowded office also looked at her.

One of them is in front of the computer of the smart terminal, and the other throws himself into the single sofa.

"Oh, it's rare. Sister Chong is out?"

The guy on the sofa made his first taunt today. His voice was low and lazy, making people feel very tired.

He looked unremarkable, his face was obviously a little sickly pale, but his whole body was chubby.

"Ah, oh, you guys are back...just now, it was really like seeing a ghost."

The insect girl Xina responded dully while taking off her cloak and throwing it towards the couch.

She herself sat next to her fat colleague and unceremoniously took out a paper bag from his coat pocket, which contained amber walnuts, a nut snack.

The fat colleague had a dead look on his face, as if he didn't care about anything, but another guy in front of the computer spoke:

"What the hell dares to let Miss Xina see it? Oh, by the way, I just received a contract signed in the name of the firm. Which building is rented out?"

"Well, the client seems to be an expert, Boss Ma Ji. I think he cracked the [Mechanical Mystery Lock]."

The man called Mag looks like he is only about 20 years old. His voice is mature, steady and magnetic, making it easy for people to feel trustful. His appearance is also clean and neat.

But his messy hair, tired look and dirty dark brown coat made him ordinary and low-key.

While Marky was editing the file, he was distracted by his thoughts. He habitually forgot to talk to others, and Hina turned her attention to the fat man next to her.

"Look what I'm doing, that's the last pack of amber walnuts, it's gone!"

"Let's get down to business Al, have you ever seen anyone able to crack the third-level mystery lock instantly?"

Sheena seemed to be infected by the laziness of her two colleagues. She also fell into the sofa and generously shared the bag of amber walnuts with Al.

"Yes, I can."

"Wow, you also said that I just used your ability to activate the control, and the guest recovered in less than a second. Is that okay?"

"Which ability?"

"[Law, Shock] and [Mantra, Action Control], the two abilities combined cannot be controlled for a second." "Oh, the control of these two abilities is not strong to begin with, let alone the weakened version you stole.

But even so, his [Psychic] attribute should be above 4 points. He is probably a third-level player, and can be considered a master. "

At this time, Markey, who was sitting in front of the computer, spoke:
"Pseudonym Black Water, system code name Half Bottle of Water, life awakener, number of missions completed 3, two fantasy worlds, one to [Triad]? Isn't this the place where the war just broke out a few days ago?"

"No specific time? Is there any more detailed information?" Al asked nonsense.

"No, the information on the Awakened is more difficult to obtain than the average transcendent. This information is already the limit of the crawler. If it goes any deeper, the dream system will fight back."

"Sigh... Then don't worry about it. Is there a shortage of experts in this city? We are just people making money to make ends meet. Sister Chong, what does the cover of your manual say?"

"A mature detective must manage his curiosity."

Chongmei said feebly that this was an individual comment given to her by her teacher, and did not refer to the entire detective industry.

"But he walked in really easily and freely, and I went up to verify that the mystery lock was still functioning normally."

Xina's words made the atmosphere in the small office stagnant for a moment.

"You mean, he didn't destroy it, but controlled it?" Fat Al turned his head and looked at Xina.

"Yeah, there's no key, no core, I didn't even see him cast the spell, he just walked in casually."

Al immediately gave Marky a look, and Marky also happened to cast his gaze over.

"It seems that he is not an ordinary master." Ma Ji said this, but there was no further explanation.

Even Al, who returned to his half-dead state of laziness, began to salvage his own half-pack of walnuts.

"Don't you know what the other party is doing? Oh, by the way, where are the eldest sister and the smelly cat?"

The insect girl Xina's thinking is very fast, but as a colleague, everyone is used to it.

"I'm glad you still remember them. The guy we were chasing ran away, but left a big tail behind. The two of them are very mobile, so we went after him together."

"Then you two burdens came back first?"

"Marky, Chongmei said you are a burden." Al immediately complained.

"Listen~"

Marki's gentle reply was drowned out by the sound of his typing.

"Ah - don't interrupt! Al! Next time you and I go to meet that guest, I always feel that he has many secrets!"

“The third-level secret lock, even if it is recognized as the safest seal on the market, even if its core is derived from the ninth-level legendary spell model, in the end, its complexity is only at the third-level level.

Anyone who is familiar with the spell model or has strong alchemical abilities can quickly crack and control it.

Besides, I don’t want to act with you, you should just keep an eye on the store. "

"Ah ah ah, I don't care. Otherwise, hand over your high-level ability to me! Just that [Total Dominance]! I want that guy to speak for himself!"

The insect girl Xina was holding Al's neck and swinging wildly. Al also stuck out his tongue and pretended to be dead in cooperation. Only Marky was editing the information with a depressed look.

The events and accidents they have just handled must be stored in the database in a timely manner.

Suddenly, Marky seemed to think of something. He turned around and asked:
"Xina, what do you mean, that customer will still have contact with us?"

"You're always slow... Yes, he said he wanted to decorate the house himself and asked us to help buy materials. Oh, I also have a list of the first batch here. The guy seems to be short of money."

Al, who survived Xina's clutches, gave Marki a thumbs up and thanked his brother for his life-saving grace.

Marky nodded thoughtfully, then dragged out a document set labeled [Character], and created a document named [Black Water·Half Bottle of Water] in it.

This is their [silver bullet] own database.

"Do you want to investigate him?" Xina approached Marki again.

"No, it's just to establish an observation file. If the other person is kinder, you can make a friend."

"Tch~ I don't want to make friends, I want to see blood flowing like a river!"

After Xina spoke arrogantly, Al immediately followed behind:
"Okay, next time you go out to work, I'll stay and look after the house."

"Forget it, brothers, I love peace."

The detectives here seemed to be having an undisciplined fuss, and the general cleaning had begun over Wang Shui's side.

After activating the deformed gel body, the nephrite sister descended directly to Wang Shui.

Facing an empty and dusty house, even if Wang Shui has the ability to cast spells, he still needs help.

Before night, Wang Shui went to many places. He used more than a dozen different small forces to create false identities for his sisters.

With fake identities, they can register as company employees. With the identities of local employees, the sisters can enter and leave Nancheng more easily.

In the middle of the night, the building materials ordered by Wang Shui were shipped outside the new company. Four of the sisters also came here to take turns stationing and helping. Most of them still wanted to live at the base.

By the way, Wang Shui is going to spend some time cultivating a spare artificial human body using the bodies that his sisters are now gradually familiar with.

With spare bodies on both sides, they can drive at any time and switch living environments in seconds.

As for aqua regia?He has a [Traveler] secret card deck!
After receiving the materials for a short time, Wang Shui began to decorate non-stop.

For spell casters, decoration should not be too convenient. There are many tutorials on the Dream Network to teach spell casters how to play with building materials.

Most of the ancient spellcasters were very serious and professional, while the modern spellcasters were quite willing to commit suicide and make fools of themselves. They were thinking about using their professional knowledge to complete their work every day.

There are even some guys with strong vitality who always do some hard work that makes people physically uncomfortable.

The house itself is empty, with rough parts that have been renovated and dismantled, and some reserved decoration details.

Wang Shui couldn't trust his predecessors, so he rearranged the various pipelines inside the house, basically replaced and reinforced the wall materials, and then started to deal with the appearance.

Because there was no interference from furniture or the original design, Wang Shui, under the design direction of his sisters, completely renovated the interior in just four hours.

Then there is the facade of the building. Because of the convenience of aqua regia alchemy, they chose a configuration of metal and artificial stone. This troublesome and expensive decoration method is much simpler and cheaper in the hands of an alchemist.

Finally, there's the mystery lock.

Wang Shui did not ask for the key, and he did not intend to install a mysterious lock developed by others in his home.

As for showing off his cracking ability in front of the agent Xina, Wang Shui wanted to use this less offensive but very difficult method to test the detective agency.

There was a strange office so close, and Wang Shui couldn't ignore it.

　Small setting, I'm afraid you haven't seen this setting. In fact, this is a relatively traditional spell, but it is not as popular as alchemy, fireball, etc.

　　I made some changes myself, so I don’t need to mention the word count.

　　----

　　[Mystery Lock], simply put, is a magic barrier that uses various energies to fill a space with automatically activated spells.

　　Mystery Lock itself is also a spell, a spell similar to [Sequencer] and [Accidental Spell], but it is much more complicated.

　　When the Mystery Lock was invented, it was a ninth-level legendary spell. Generally speaking, spells did not emphasize how many levels they could use before they could be used. However, if a level was written, it meant that if it was below this hard target, it would not be usable.

　　The most classic one is the third-level [Original Fireball Technique]. Without the compressed energy at the third-level level, it cannot be released.

　　With the development of spell technology, many classical spells have had weakened versions, so most spells do not emphasize levels.

　　The Mystery Lock was also simplified. It was reduced to the third-level level, and then several large companies used alchemy as the basis to produce commercial barrier locks, which were much better than traditional locks.
