South District 1, the night electric switch block.

In the streets at night, a young man in a black blouse was running in embarrassment. While he was looking for a narrow alley to hide in, he looked around nervously, nervous about possible pursuers.

"Huh, huh—" Holding his hand against the wall, his chest heaved and his back was already wet with sweat.

"Didn't you come after me?" He whispered to himself, then raised his head and looked at the narrow sky in the alley.

The floating boat decorated with neon lights and signs slowly floats in the sky. It is not only an entertainment place, but also a conspicuous advertising position. It is said that the annual advertising fee of a floating boat is tens of millions of federal currency.

"Damn capital and rich people!"

He hammered down the wall, then stumbled forward again, walking in this remote alley full of stains and garbage.

—————

Edsy Academy, combat practice room.

A well-built young man is sweating. He looks about eighteen years old, with a bare upper body and loose pants on his lower body. He is constantly punching in the practice room, exercising his muscles, and familiarizing himself with the recently advanced job titles.

As time passed, he became more and more proficient at this new advanced ability, and the transcendent core in his body became more and more stable and blazing. The boiling magic power evaporated sweat, and white air came out of his body.

Finally, when the momentum and the magic power in his body reached the peak, he let out a loud shout, and then he punched out, and the sonic boom of explosion sounded in the practice room.

The rubber-wrapped dummy was cracked, revealing the thick and broken steel bars inside, and the surrounding rubber had even partially melted, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of burnt.

After finishing the training, he walked out of the practice room, and a younger boy immediately stepped forward. He held a towel in his hand, wiped his sweat, and then spoke enviously.

"Brother Valk is really amazing. He just advanced this morning, and he can use the power of the job agency so proficiently! Just now I looked at the records in the practice room. The explosive power of that punch has almost no opponent in Sequence 4, even if it is a freshman. The goldfish Ji Aifuni, who is generally favored in the world, can't compare to big brother!"

"Don't brag too much. I'm two years older than Avonne, so I wasted a lot of time." Walker shook his head, not caring about the compliment, but thinking about consulting the nutritionist in the school tonight. What needs to be added in the next period of time, he doesn't have much time to waste, there are still many things waiting for him to complete.

...

"Are you going to report to Teacher Sima?" the boy asked after listening to Walker's arrangement.

Sima is the teacher of Edsy Academy who excavated Walker from the slums of the North Ninth District. He is also the person who is in charge of Walker's life at school. Generally, you can report and negotiate with him if you have anything to do.

Although Valk was delayed for a few years because of his background, he was lucky enough to enter high school until now, but his talent is indeed extraordinary. In a short period of time, he advanced to Light Feather Sequence 4 Sun Fighter, and he was rated as a perfect level Difficult and extraordinary employment agency.

Such a genius has been respected by many people even in Edsi Academy, where all kinds of elites gather, and his life here has gradually stabilized.

"Go and talk to the teacher. After all, it is his care and support." Walker threw the towel after wiping sweat to the boy behind him, and then walked into the shower room beside him, ready to rinse off and change into clean clothes.

"Okay." The boy replied happily.

————

At night, after the celebration banquet, Walker walked out of the brightly lit restaurant. The night breeze seemed to be particularly cool. He recalled the compliments and praises from the school teachers and high-level officials in the restaurant just now, and felt a little unreal.

Finally, he fumbled in his pocket, took out a credit card he had just obtained, inserted it into the slot on his personal terminal, and the amount was soon displayed.

[Federation currency: 3000000]

This is a reward given to him to advance to Sequence 4. Edsi Academy has always been tolerant and supportive of geniuses.

Three million federal coins, if it is in the North Ninth District, I am afraid that I will not be able to earn so much in my life, Walker thought to himself, the worldview formed over the years has the illusion of collapse and reconstruction.

This is Nanyi District, the world of the rich, and the world is uneven. He silently recalled this feeling in his heart.

In this way, he was immersed in this kind of thinking until the personal terminal in his pocket rang and woke him up.

He took out his personal terminal, and as soon as he turned it on, he heard urgent calls from the opposite side.

"Hello, Valk, it's me, Greed." The voice was mixed with tension and various noises, and the other side seemed to be running.

"What's the matter?" Walker's voice remained steady.

"Come and save me. I'm being chased. It's on the side of the dark night electric switch. Let me see. It's the alley south of No. 8 Street. Come on!"

"..." Valk was silent for a few seconds, and the voice sounded again from the opposite side.

"You wouldn't just ignore death, would you? We grew up together. If it wasn't for me, you would have died in the slums long ago!"

"I know, that's why I didn't hang up." Walker said slowly.

"I'll come over, do your best to avoid it." Then he hung up his personal terminal.

He dialed the number again, and soon a positive reply came from the opposite side, and a high-speed hover vehicle would arrive at his location within three minutes.

During this waiting time, Valk looked at the cold night sky above his head and remembered some childhood events.

That's right, he was an orphan since he was a child. He grew up in the underground world of the North Ninth District. At that time, he was almost like a mouse in order to survive, looking for food in the garbage dump. It was also at that time that he met Greed.

The situation of the two is similar. At the beginning, they fought for a good lunch box and fought with each other.

Greed said that he saved Valk. Although this is true, it is not complete. In fact, because of their young age, they could only hug each other and save each other when they faced those same wandering and evil adults. After several times, it is impossible to say who owes whom, but since the other party has spoken today, Walker will not refuse or deny it.

Soon, a dark and high-end suspension vehicle came from the sky at high speed, then descended and hovered in front of Valk.

The door opened, revealing the empty seat inside. Walker jumped up from the ground, stepped on the frame of the suspension car, pressed it down for a few minutes, shook it slightly, and then regained its stability.

After closing the car door, Walker entered the approximate location, and the hover car began to rush to the location, and shuttled through the bustling city in the South District. Along the way, you can see many similar high-end hover cars, as well as the ubiquitous advertisements and signboards.

Dark Night Electric Block, Lane 13 South of 8th Street.

In the dark alley, a hemispherical self-discipline unit was overturned on the ground, with a torn gap on the side, and sparks flashed from the internal components. Opposite it, a young man in a black shirt was holding a purple ionized short blade, his gaze Sweeping around, squatting slightly, to deal with the attack that followed.

Above the alleyway, the lights of three suspended four-wing drones flickered, and the cameras focused and locked on the young people on the ground.

[Find the target, start checking...]

[After checking, it is confirmed that it is the thief No. 1721, and the arrest operation begins]

[Request for support, nets ready]

[emission! ]

A drone launched a fine net with a hook and lock, covering the young man on the ground. Lightning flowed in the fine net, and when it touched objects in the alleyway, bursts of electric sparks burst out.

"Damn it!" The young man in black on the ground cursed, then tried his best to dodge, swung the short blade in his hand, cut through the ropes in front of him, and continued to run forward, but halfway he slipped and fell on the rubbish turned over on the ground. One fall.

Taking advantage of his limited mobility, a second drone descends and approaches, spraying fine netting and rope.

Although the black-shirted youth tried his best to dodge, he was still covered by the fine net, and then the electric shock made his body tremble continuously, his teeth collided, and he made a painful sound.

Resisting the electric current, the young man waved the short ionization blade in his hand, cut the thin net on his body, and climbed out again, but within a few steps, he fell down due to pain and fatigue. At this time, he could only hide in an abandoned and old vehicle Behind, to prevent being caught by the drone unit in the sky.

The side corners of these drone units have a unified logo, which is three pointers pointing inward, and there are outlines of gears on the periphery.

'Three Pointers Workshop' is a well-known company in the southern district of Emerald Skirt. Although the scale is small, the retarders it produces are extremely special. They can slow down the flow of time around the retarder, and they have great advantages in some special fields. Many wonderful uses.

It is also because of this that this small-scale workshop is extremely profitable, and there are many people prying into the company's patents and technical secrets. If it weren't for the fact that the time limit of the "Three Finger Workshop" slows down by only 20%, It can even enter the ranks of giant enterprises with this technology patent.

The real singularity of time technology in the Rose Federation is the giant enterprise "Alice's Pocket Watchmaker". Its logo is a top hat decorated with rabbit ears, flowers, and pocket watches. Its "Alice Pocket Watch" can stop the time in the surrounding space. .

"Valker, if you don't come, I'm going to die here." The young man fed himself a few excitement capsules to suppress pain and enhance physical strength, and after taking a short breath, he ran out again, avoiding the drone suspended in the air In pursuit of him, he jumped onto the self-discipline unit that blocked him, inserted a knife into the head of the self-discipline robot, tore it apart, and damaged the internal components, and then continued to run forward.

Finally, he rushed out of the narrow alley, and just as he was about to run away, dazzling lights illuminated in front of him, and then there was a stern shout to stop him.

"Stop! We are members of the 'Raincoat Office' with legal gun licenses. If you still want to flee, we will shoot you under video surveillance!"

Hearing this sound, the young man had to stop running for the time being, and covered his eyes with his hands. After a while, he gradually got used to it. He saw the six uniformed, bulletproof vests, tactical sunglasses and earphones in front of him. Everyone has an automatic aiming pistol in their hands, and the red dot indicating the laser converges on the young man.

Each of these firm members has the level of Sequence 4. Although the professional evaluation is not excellent or excellent, with the addition of sophisticated equipment, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to fight against them.

Because of the existence of extraordinary abilities and the development of industry, it is not difficult for individuals to own violence and guns, but in the face of such a vast territory and complex environment in the Federation, the official police cannot cover everything, so they will allow localities to maintain some law and order forces, and some firms exist.

These firms are employed by large companies and will provide security forces to protect the safety of company employees and protect business secrets from being stolen.

Although the original intention is good, but because it is too close to the gray area, there are also firms that, under the temptation of huge returns, will assist certain large enterprises to disrupt the competition of their opponents, steal their secrets, and so on.

Being pointed at with a gun, the young man in black raised his hand, indicating that he was not threatening. This is not a very weak approach, but a very wise behavior. If he is provoked by the other party, or still resists after being warned by the other party , then the other party can 'legally' shoot and kill himself without having to bear too much legal responsibility.

"Hmph!" The members of the opposite firm disdained this kind of habitual offender, but they did not let down their vigilance.

The captain tilted his head and asked the members on both sides to step forward, disarm the young man in black and prepare to tie him up.

Although they don't have law enforcement power, they can send the black-shirted youth to the cell of the police station. Naturally, there will be a special lawyer appointed by the company to accuse the other party of crimes.

Seeing that the two members of the firm were about to approach, the young man in black frowned and stepped back slightly. He would not be caught without a fight. With his identity, it is not a good thing to enter the police station.

His current identity is forged, and he is not a real legal citizen in the Federation. It also means that once his file is exposed, there will no longer be 'human rights'. At that time, even if he dies in prison, no one will intervene.

Because without 'human rights', it means that they don't exist, and they can't even be counted as human beings. This is the rule at the bottom of the Federation.

Time passed by second by second. Although the young man in black shirt showed a casual and contemptuous expression on the surface, his legs and fingers were trembling slightly, and he was always ready to attack.

However, in the end he did not wait for the time to resist, because someone interrupted the process.

The black suspension vehicle lowered, and a burly man stepped out. He saw the young man in black shirt illuminated by the light, blocking the members of the office with one hand.

"I think, maybe we can talk first." What he showed in his hand was a special card with the logo of Ades Academy on it.

After the scanner in the sunglasses confirmed that the key on the card was checked against the official website, the captain dispatched by the 'Raincoat Office' frowned, waved to his companion, and stopped for a while.

Although Edsi Academy is only ranked fourth in the star field, it is a member of the first ladder, and the gap with the first place is not too big. If it is just an ordinary student in the academy, the 'Raincoat Office' is also a member of the first ladder. I won't take it too seriously, but what this man took out was a special black card, which represented the status and certain influence in Ades Academy.

"You want to protect him? I want to remind you in advance that he is the prisoner designated by the 'Three Pointers Workshop' to arrest him, and he is also a dangerous person involved in the patent war. The 'Three Pointers Workshop' will not compromise easily."

For many companies in the federation, their technology patents are just like life. If an opponent dares to snoop and steal them, they will spare no effort to retaliate, regardless of whether the means are legal or illegal. The patent war that broke out as a result, It's brutal and often a headache for federal authorities.

"Although we don't want to offend 'Ades Academy', if you can't communicate with 'Three Pointers Workshop' within an hour, we still won't give up arresting him."

"I know." Walker took a deep breath. Although he was a little depressed, he looked at the young man in black on the opposite side, and finally picked up the personal terminal at hand.

"Hey, is this Teacher Xima? I'm sorry to bother you at night. It's like this. I have a friend..." The voice spread slowly in the night, and the people around were quietly listening to Walker's conversation until a long time later, He just put down his personal terminal.

The call lasted only 16 minutes, but Walker felt that it was longer than ten years. When he hung up, he was sweating again unconsciously.

He seldom begs for help, even so irrationally, but this time is an exception. This kind of behavior makes him very ashamed and humble.

But as long as he's alive.

After a long time, the members of the 'Raincoat Office' received a call. The captain nodded and looked at Valk. After hanging up the phone, he came over and patted Valk on the shoulder.

"You are very popular. If only I had your talent back then."

After finishing speaking, he took his men into the office's special suspension vehicle, and left in the night, leaving only the two under the night sky.

The young man in black was in a terrible state of distress. His body was tattered, covered with stains and blood, and he had many wounds on his body. On the other side, Walker, wearing high-grade clothes, was clean and tidy, powerful and stable, even though they were not far apart. Three meters, but extremely far away.

The two boys who used to plan food together in the garbage dump have now stood in two different worlds.
