Chapter 1 Prologue The opening of the explosion

——

Once upon a time, companies pretended to be nations; now they don't. -——

Elven Calendar Year 7702, June 23, 22:00, Tuesday

The night after the rain is dim, hazy, and the fishy smell is diffuse; Peicheng's decadent today is getting closer and closer to its end.

It will continue tomorrow.

In a narrow alley with no pedestrians passing by, a brand new car still has not turned off. The steam turbine is breathing slowly. Six surrounding electronic lights in front of and behind the car illuminate the steam curling in the alley, which also makes the residue on the car body

The raindrops were as crystal clear as dewdrops. In the shadow of a tall building nearby, two security guards in black leather jackets stared warily at the streets and alleys, as if expecting something.

"It's already past the time we agreed with the young master." Glancing at the dimming steam lights outside the alley, Paul changed his mouth, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and couldn't help but urge: "How about we go over and check on the young master?"

"Are you worried, or is Young Master making you scared?" Wen De asked with a slight smile on his lips.

Paul didn't want to fall into the language trap. He had been in the bodyguard business for thirty years and was already a veteran. He had protected hundreds of people. Even a "gongzi" was just a human being, and a "person", no matter what

He has seen them all, good and bad, dead and alive.

"It's nothing to be afraid of, it just doesn't feel right." Paul rubbed his hands gently. The leather of the old gloves was smooth and made no sound at all. "The protesters are four blocks away, and they might come over at any time.

It’s better to go back to the city as soon as possible.”

"It's a bit cold here..." Indeed, a smelly water vapor spread from the pressure relief port of the steam tube well, and Wende used his legs to drive it away in vain. These underground pipes like spider webs spread out over the suburbs of Peicheng

The steam from the thermal station is transported to every corner of the city, bringing power and convenience, but the lingering bloody stench in the steam will inevitably give people a bad association, and it will also make the surrounding atmosphere always feel chilly and dangerous.

Feeling. "It's just as cold four blocks away, and their affairs won't affect us. As for the young master, I believe it's very warm over there, and he won't be able to freeze."

"Can you determine his location and condition?" Paul asked curiously: "Have you changed to a new tracking shadow follower (an energy body that attaches to the user and provides various special abilities)? When did you change it?

,I do not know how?"

"How can I have the money to exchange for that! No matter how good a film actor is, he is not as smart as a clever brain." Wen De pointed to his head and said: "Every time the young master goes to the Tiger Boy Building in District 8, it has something to do with women, and he always wants to show off

He has strong ability and sufficient endurance, so he will definitely stay a little longer. If we go up to look for him, he will lose his temper and feel that we are looking down on him, and the delay will be longer next time. Besides, even if the time is extended, those women will not dare

Why are you anxious about asking him for more money? Just wait!"

"You inquired so clearly?"

"Because I also want to know what it's like for the women in the Hutong Building - aren't you curious? But they are too expensive, and they only accept people like young masters."

"I heard that many of them are not human beings..."

"Why did you suddenly lower your voice? It's been an open secret for a long time. You're so brave to be so careful." Wen De snorted. He looked around. There were only two of them in the narrow alley between buildings. Automotive Electronics

There wasn't even a mouse within the scope of the lamp, so no one would overhear what they were saying. "Not only are they not all humans, I heard that the people there are called containers."

"Container - sounds scary - what does that mean?"

"I heard it has something to do with the defective products in the film industry. You also know that the quality of the films varies widely, and there will always be a lot of leftover materials that cannot be sold for money. Someone has the idea of ​​​​taking these defective products. Take them and mix them with them.

Let's mix..." Wende made a stirring motion on the palm of his other hand with his index finger, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You need a container to do this, do you understand?"

"Huh! There really is no lower limit for doing such a sinful thing! How can those people who are possessed by inferior shadow servants be able to survive?"

"Keep your voice down! We have been working as company security guards for so many years, do you still see this kind of thing rarely?" Wen De sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, you either become a young master or a consumable. And we... are standing on the edge of the cliff.

, one wrong step and you will be doomed."

"This damn day, this damn place..." Paul stubbed out the cigarette butt on the wall next to him and threw it out with all his strength.

"It's pretty cool, but it depends on who you compare with." Wende stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, raised his chin, and said, "Paul, do you know what the chaos over there is doing?"

"I don't know, I just know that some people are protesting. I don't know what they are protesting specifically."

"To do this job well, you must be well-informed. You can't do it like this - I'll teach you a lesson." Wen De waved to his companions to come closer, and then said: "Do you know about our magic crystal factory in the East District?"

"The one that was closed before because it didn't make any money?"

"Why don't you make money? The business is very good, but the reason for closing it is to clean up and make a move, which involves the exchange of interests between our Scarlet Company and Today's Group - all of the above, but this is not important." Wen

De said: "The key is that it was closed too quickly, and many people lost their jobs all of a sudden. It stands to reason that a severance package should be given, but the money has more important uses, so it will naturally go to more important places, such as people like Mr.

pocket. Think about it, can the people below not make trouble?"

"It's this kind of nonsense again! How many times has it happened!"

"Anyway, those who are causing trouble are handled by the PCPD (Peicheng Police Station), and we don't need to worry about it. Hey, it seems that the young master is here."

A series of empty footsteps came from the depths of the alley. Over there was the back door of the Tiger Boy Building. This door was more in line with the young master's preferences. Wen De and Paul glanced over there, confirming that it was him, and hurriedly adjusted their collars.

, appear energetic, capable and loyal.

Minimo Dix, the "Master", was born into a wealthy family. He was the biological son of a director at the Scarlet Company headquarters. He was the 16th in a family full of descendants. Although this ranking is not important, it can be "carefree" and is still considered "unfettered".

The type of person who is "born with a silver spoon in his mouth." Although his intelligence and emotional intelligence seem to be a bit like heavy metal poisoning, it does not prevent his little finger from being thicker than other people's waists, and he can easily control most of the world.

The man staggered.

Excluding the influence of his net worth, Minimo Dix can be considered a handsome young man. He is as tall and thin as a knife, with a fair face and long hands. He is cleanly shaved. He wears a luxurious black leather trench coat with ironing and golden color.

The short boots are tapping. He has just turned twenty and is still young. He has a perfect combination of smugness and great talent, which is reflected in his flowing curly hair, wandering tired eyes, fluttering sarcastic smile, and fluttering smile.

His long windbreaker swung his horns. His walking posture is unforgettable. It is a dangerous posture with his belly button dangling but not falling. Looking at his limbs sweeping around, it seems that he is gathering debris around his body all the time.

, but his chest and abdomen were still empty, with an uncontrollable feeling of emptiness and hunger.

We can probably sum up the multi-layered meanings of being a stinky fart and begging for a beating, but cannot be beaten.

This dress is very popular in Peicheng.

"If you have a chance, you should try the service of Nifujia girls. It's really amazing - but you are unlikely to have such a chance in your life." Young Master Minimo shook his shoulders and nodded his head left and right.

Clicking it, in harmony with the rhythm of the music in his own head.

"We can only rely on imagination and hands, Master." Wen De smiled, which was a response.

"Imagination and two hands? Then your guy must be very big?" The young master laughed, but his face quickly darkened: "I don't like hearing this kind of joke. Is the car safe?"

"We kept watching, but no one came over, let alone let wild dogs and cats touch it."

"This is the best! If something goes wrong with the car, even if it's just a scratch, you will lose your head!" The young master snorted, put his hands in his pockets, and staggered towards the car.

This is a T400 steam-electric hybrid six-wheel commercial vehicle. It is the latest model of its kind. The price on the open market is 265,000 yuan. The young master’s vehicle has been added with the features to withstand direct impact.

Under the additional armor, there is an energy-guiding rune sandwich that can harmlessly transfer the shooting energy of the "Shadow Gun". Its interior has also been modified by the master, which can be said to perfectly integrate luxury, safety and comfort. These modifications

It can at least double its price, so overall, it is definitely a low-key but high-end gift.

This is a birthday gift prepared for his father. Minimo took it over to try it out to avoid any flaws that he has not yet found. By the way, he can enjoy it first. It belongs to his father now and will belong to him in the future. This is a matter of course, so he did not

There is no burden on my heart.

"I have something else to do tonight. You guys should come with me to take care of it." The young master adjusted his belt, walked to the back of the car first, and said, "Open the trunk."

"You have the special key to the trunk," Paul said.

"Uh? Oh, yes, yes." The young master dug around and found a silver key in the third pocket of his coat.

The key was gently twisted in the keyhole, and with a crisp click, the trunk of the car opened. There was a square silver-white metal box in the center. The box was about one meter square and one quarter

meters thick, the whole is smooth and has no edges and corners, and there are rib-shaped support structures on all sides to increase the strength.

Mysterious runes are densely engraved on the box, and dark red spots of light move slowly between the complex lines. In the middle of the front of the box is a brass nameplate with two lines of words engraved on it, one of which is "The Light of Light" in larger black text.

Box No. 623", below which is the smaller red text "Owned by Scarlet Group 6".

"Box of Light?" Paul hissed, his heart pounding. He covered his chest and asked, "Sir, is this a shadow servant inside?"

"Does this need to be said? Of course the shadow obtained from the shadow world must be kept in the box of light. After all, it has not been tamed." The young master gently stroked the box, his movements were exactly the same as when he stroked the body of a lustful woman.

"The Sixth Department asked me for help, but I reluctantly solved it for them, haha!"

"That's because you are so good, Mr. Sixth Division, that you will beg you." Wen De said with a flattering smile, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

Scarlet Group is one of the four major corporate groups. No matter how the situation changes, it has never fallen out of the top ten for more than 100 years and has been in the top five for a long time. The group's main businesses are biopharmaceuticals, organ modification, and in vivo therapy

With shadow transplantation, the existing "individual strong men" are generally inseparable from the Scarlet Group.

The Sixth Department of the Group is responsible for research and development and has the highest level of confidentiality. It has always been one of the most mysterious departments in the entire group. The things produced by the Sixth Department are often dangerous, unverified, and powerful, especially those related to Ying Cong.

When it comes to relationships.

Shadow slaves are like ghosts, with various shapes, most of them in the shape of aerosol. They are energy creatures that belong to another world - the shadow world. After being domesticated, they can be combined with the human body to provide a variety of special abilities, such as flying into the sky and escaping to the earth.

, spitting fire and ice are all indispensable. It can also be combined with some electrical devices to control current and produce a variety of functions. The stronger the shadow servant, the harder it is to tame it. The box of light is a device for confining and taming shadow followers, and it is the

The most powerful of the type devices.

The Box of Light of the Sixth Department of the Scarlet Group can be said to be the container of the most dangerous shadow servant in the world today. How did this thing get into the hands of the young master? He has a problem with his own brain. Are those researchers going crazy too? In addition to being born well, this young master

I don't have any skills, so I shouldn't be exposed to things of this level.

Wen De felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to ask. He knew the temper of the young master very well. Once he said something wrong, in addition to scolding him, he would definitely leave his current position - his three previous partners all

This is how it works. Once he leaves, his income will definitely drop sharply, and he still has a family to support.

You can't ask about this matter, just get over it quickly. He winked at Paul, and then asked: "Sir, this is a good thing. Where are we going next? Don't worry, we two will be extra careful."

The young master snorted and said: "Hey, you are right to be careful. If you don't work hard and something happens, it will be easy for you to peel off your skin. Don't worry, leave the operation of the Box of Light to me.

, you don’t have to do anything.”

It's just because you're in charge that we're worried, okay? Paul and Wende exchanged helpless looks and shrank their necks at the same time.

"Look at how cowardly you are, what are you afraid of! There is a basic truth in this world, you have to pay for whatever you want. The more powerful the shadow follower is, the more obvious its weaknesses are. Even if it is difficult to tame, it will not

It’s difficult to lock up. The Box of Light is absolutely safe, and nothing will happen to you even if you smash it a few times.”
