In the city. In a collapsed, abandoned area of buildings, Yu Fei and two team members wearing caps arrived at a place sheltered from light.
城市中。废弃倒塌的一片建筑区域内，余霏和两名戴着帽子的队员来到了处背光之地。
Amid the sound of footsteps, a graceful figure in white, form-fitting dress pants walked out from the shadows opposite.
踢踏脚步声中，对面的阴影中走出穿着白色修身西裤的窈窕倩影。
“Is it Zhou Diao or Zhou Chan today?”
“今天来的是周貂，还是周蝉？”
A light, fragrant breeze wafted over. Yu Fei and his people looked at the beautiful face and involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
清淡香风袭来，余霏这边几人看着那秀美的脸庞，不由自主咽了口唾沫。
This woman was truly breathtakingly beautiful. Even dressed in men’s clothes, she exuded an irresistible charm. The three beside Yu Fei were already lost in thought. It was said that a pair of twin sisters shared the code name Diao Chan.
这女人果然美艳不可方物，此刻即便穿着男人的衣裤，也散发着诱人魅力。余霏身旁的三人已经想入非非，据说，这是一对双胞胎姐妹共用了貂蝉的代号。
“You’ve actually obtained the A-level frequency crystal?” The charming woman raised her chin slightly and looked at the three.
“你们的A级频率晶石，果真已经到手了吗？”俏媚的女人微扬下巴，看向三人。
Yu Fei opened the box in his hand, revealing the crystal inside emitting a faint red glow.
余霏将手上的盒子打开，露出里面散发着红色微光的水晶。
“Not bad, several brothers. What about the armor?”
“不错嘛，几位哥哥。铠甲呢？”
“We haven’t gotten the armor yet.” Yu Fei closed the wooden box containing the frequency crystal.
“铠甲还没到手。”余霏将装频率结晶的木盒合上。
“Three more days. If its original owner doesn’t submit the Intersecting Land report, we can enter the A-level Intersecting Land through it.”
“还有三天，如果它原本的主人不提交交错地报告，我们就可以通过它进入A级交错之地了。”
Another slender figure walked out from behind the woman.
又一修长身影从女人身后走出。
His entire body was enveloped in handsome, pitch-black armor, with a large sword on his back. The man inside the armor spoke in a muffled voice:
他全身笼罩在帅气的漆黑盔甲之下，背上背着把大剑。盔甲内的男人瓮声瓮气地开口：
“You all care too much about the so-called Headquarters rules. It’s just a trash organization made up of some Earth celebrities. Let’s enter tonight. We’ve already called back several strong members. Ma Chao, Lu Zhishen, Peter Pan will all come. What a pity about Zhang Fei.”
“你们太注重那所谓的总部规矩了，不过是些地球的名人组成的垃圾组织而言。今晚便进入罢，我们已经调回了好几名强力人员。马超，鲁智深，彼得潘都会来，只可惜张飞了。”
“No.”
“不行。”
Yu Fei said in a somewhat poor mood:
余霏心情略差的道：
“Our people haven’t all arrived yet. These two days are a good time for cultivating models for newcomers. We must get our hands on the two hospitals in the new area. So let’s do it in three days.”
“我们的人还没到齐。这两天是给新人培育模型的好时候，新区域的两家医院我们必须搞到手。所以还是三天后吧。”
Suddenly, the several people received a telepathic scene relay and instantly froze in place.
忽地，几人接受到根心灵画面的转接，瞬间齐愣在原地。
“What? Monster financing!”
“什么？怪物融资！”
An incredulous voice squeezed out of someone’s throat.
一人喉咙中挤出难以置信的声音。
Yu Fei looked at the scene he had connected to in disbelief.
余菲不可思议的看着连接到的画面。
“The one it wants to eliminate is Yang Zicang!”
“它要消灭的是杨子藏！”
…
……
Luo Xin, tall and with a well-proportioned build, was watching a newcomer who had come last month walk out of a dilapidated clinic.
身材匀称高大的罗鑫正看着一个上月来的新人，从变得破败的诊所内出来。
“Not bad, it’s a triangle,” the person beside him said.
“还好，是三角形。”旁边人说道。
Luo Xin raised his hand to signal him to shut up.
罗鑫抬手示意他闭嘴。
“What ability?”
“什么能力。”
“It’s, it’s…” The man hesitated.
“是，是…”这人扭捏不已。
Seeing the devouring look in the eyes of the person beside Luo Xin, the young man quickly said: “It’s Double Infusion. It can store twice the amount of liquid as blood in the human body.”
看到罗鑫身边那位吃人般的目光，这青年才赶紧的道：“是加倍输液，能在人体内储存两倍于血液的液体。”
The two looked at the small clinic and sighed with some disappointment.
两人看着小诊所有点失望的叹了口气。
“It’s still okay. At least with you, we won’t have to carry so much water when we go out.”
“也还好，至少有你后，出门可以不用带那么多水了。”
“But, there seems to be an附属能力 as well.”
“不过，好像还有个附属能力。”
Luo Xin looked up: “What is it?”
罗鑫抬头：“是什么？”
He hadn’t expected this triangle model to actually have two abilities. That kind of probability probably only occurred in one out of forty or fifty people.
他没想到这个三角形模型居然拥有两个能力，这种概率可能四五十人才会出现一个。
“It’s聚合出 low-concentration glucose in water, which can restore spirit and replenish physical strength.”
“是…在水中聚合出低浓度的葡萄糖，可以恢复精神，补充体力。”
Luo Xin looked at the clinic, grinding his teeth.
罗鑫咬牙切齿的看了诊所一眼。
In the air before them, a hair-thin, winding and fine white line延生出.
几人身前空气中延生出道发丝般的曲折细微白线。
“Ah, Captain Luo Xin, have you received this?”
“啊，罗鑫队长，你接收到这个了吗？”
“I’m talking to someone else. What is it?”
“我在跟别人通话，怎么？”
This team member quickly urged Luo Xin to disconnect his telepathic link and accept this model’s financing scene.
这名队员赶紧让罗鑫断掉心灵链接，接受这个模型的融资场景。
After Luo Xin did so, his face changed dramatically.
罗鑫照着做后，脸色大变。
In the sensing scene, a figure was sitting at the edge of a large metal pipe extending from an abyss-like wall.
只见感应画面中，一道人影蹲坐在延伸出深渊般墙壁的大型金属管道边缘。
And around him, in a third-person perspective-like manner, were dense hordes of rat monsters rushing madly upward, roaring.
而在第三视角般的周围，是密密麻麻，疯狂冲着上面嘶吼的老鼠怪物。
“Captain, with so many rat monsters, how did that guy get over there?”
“队长，你说这么多鼠怪，那家伙是怎么过去的。”
“It’s him!” Luo Xin recognized Yang Zicang with just a glance.
“是他！”罗鑫只是看了眼，便将杨子藏认了出来。
As the local expert in this area, Luo Xin naturally knew of the existence of that broken large pipe. But because as soon as one gets close, the rat monsters would madly attack anyone who reached that place, he had never had the opportunity to go up. Yet that kid had made it up there.
罗鑫作为这片区域的地头蛇，当然知道那断口大管道的存在。却因只要靠近，老鼠怪物就会疯狂攻击到达那里的人，一直未曾有机会上去过。此刻那小子却上去了。
But this wasn’t even what surprised him.
但这还不是令其吃惊的。
What surprised him was that the owner of the perspective in this sensing scene was a large rat standing upright!
吃惊的是，这道感应画面中的视角主人，是只人立而起的大老鼠！
Its steel claws flickered with a cold, greenish glow, gripping a silver-white spear weapon! Before it stood a force field light shield!
它闪动着青寒光芒的钢铁爪子，抓着杆银白色的长枪武器！身前还立着道力场光盾！
A monster was actually conducting model financing!
怪物居然在进行模型融资！
{I, receiving the commission of the“ Evaluation Committee？” above the Trajectory, wish to eliminate the coward and remove the Hidden danger.}
{吾受轨迹之上，评议委员之委任，欲消灭懦弱者，清除隐患。}
The rat-man punisher raised its left claw, its four-centimeter-long sharp nail pointing at Yang Zicang’s figure above.
鼠人惩戒者抬起左爪，竖立四厘米长的尖锐指甲，指向上方杨子藏的身影。
{Those who invest 500N of Time Sequence in me will receive a share of the complete Time Sequence of all those who die here within the next quarter-hour, regardless of whether it is offset.}
{为吾投资时序达500N者，可分得其后一刻钟内此地所有逝者之完整时序，无论是否抵消。}
The crowd was in an uproar. Even consumed Time Sequence could be distributed to investors? This was too terrifying!
众人哗然，连消耗的时序都能分发给投资者，这太恐怖了！
“评议委员?”
“ Evaluation Committee？”
Countless people who received the financing murmured this strange title. Had Yang Zicang provoked such an existence?
收到融资的无数人念叨着这个奇怪的称呼，杨子藏是惹到了这样的存在？
Thud! The monster struck its right claw’s weapon heavily on the ground, producing a dull hum that pulled everyone’s thoughts back.
咚！怪物将右爪的武器重重杵在地上，发出沉闷嗡鸣，将众人思绪拉回。
This weapon—just its sound showed it was of extraordinary quality.
这武器，只听其声就知品相不凡。
As soon as the monster finished speaking, a faint light streaked from above, arced around a blind spot ahead, and rushed straight toward it.
怪物刚说完，高处一道微光划动，在前方的死角处弧线转弯直冲而来。
Bang! This light, emitting a golden ethereal shadow, exploded against the force field, finally shattering it, and the pebble was also shattered.
砰！这散发着金色虚影的光芒炸在力场上，终于将之砸碎开来，而那粒石子也粉碎。
This showed that the Time Sequence of both sides was evenly matched.
这说明两者时序旗鼓相当。
[Goddess Brotherhood Alliance has provided 500N investment for the punisher.]
[女神兄弟盟为惩戒者提供500N投资。]
Everyone who received this scene perceived this feedback. People nearby had all heard this name. It was a fairly strong force active on Right Street. This team had actually chosen to invest in the monster without hesitation.
所有接收到这画面的人都感知到了这个反馈。附近的人都听过这个名字，算是活动在右街的一股不弱的势力。这队伍尽然毫不犹豫就选择给怪物进行投资。
[Shanmin Group has provided 501N investment for the punisher.]
[山民组为惩戒者提供501N投资。]
Before the rat punisher, two silver rings like simple finger loops appeared.
老鼠惩戒者身前，出现两个如同简约指环般的银色光圈。
It pinched them with its hand. With a flick of its steel fingers, a silver-white ring entered the body of a rat beside it the size of a dog. With a “woo-ao” roar, its body instantly expanded. Black mist spread like armor, wrapping around the rapidly forming, burly humanoid physique.
它用手将之捏住，钢指一弹，银白光圈进入身侧一体型如狗般大的老鼠体内，它“呜嗷”嘶吼，身体霎时膨胀开来，黑雾弥漫如同铠甲包裹这快速成型的魁梧人形体魄。
Another ring was also flicked by it, entering another rat’s body.
另一道光环也被它一弹，进入另一只老鼠体内。
“Squeak!”
“吱！”
The surrounding rats, as if receiving orders, ran after letting out roars. They rushed out of the broken pipe, competing to be first.
周围老鼠像是收到了指令，纷纷嘶吼声后奔跑，它们争先恐后冲出断裂管道。
These two large-bodied rat-people moved quickly, stepping on the backs of the rats that had recklessly charged out of the iron pipe, and leaped up.
这两个体型硕大的鼠人速度飞快在这些不顾生死冲出铁管的老鼠背上一踏，身体就跃起。
All who watched were horrified. These creatures actually disregarded death and charged up to kill that man.
看者无不骇然，这些家伙居然毫不顾忌死亡，也要冲上去杀死那个男人。
What exactly had that guy done to make these rats so angry?
那家伙到底做了什么，令这些老鼠如此愤怒？
High above, Yang Zicang broke out in a cold sweat. His palms swung.
高处的杨子藏冷汗直冒，他手掌挥动。
Bang, bang, bang!
砰砰砰！
Several ethereal glows flickering gold and silver precisely hit the heads of the rats leaping out like tigers and leopards. With a bang, several figures exploded while still in mid-air.
几道闪烁着金银色的虚光精准命中如虎豹般跃出的老鼠头颅，只听嘭的声响，几道身影还在半空就爆炸开来。
“Damn, not even the most basic weapon. He’s completely using Time Sequence to suppress them.”
“好家伙，连最基本的武器都没有，这是完全用时序去压制啊。”
“Is he a savage?” People outside said.
“他是野人吗！”外界众人道。
In their eyes, Yang Zicang was using pebbles as a shotgun.
在这些人眼中，杨子藏在拿石子当散弹枪。
If one only used Time Sequence attacks that exceeded the opponent by a small amount, the attacked person would receive ordinary程度的伤害.
如果只是用超过对方不多的时序攻击，那么受打击者会受到普通程度的伤害。
Generally, that level of对抗 was like a fistfight on Earth.
一般那种程度的对抗，就如同在地球的对打。
For example, those trapped inside a bus trying to destroy the iron door—even using over thirty years of lifespan to smash the door, they would only make dents.
比如那些被困在大巴内，想要摧毁铁门的人，哪怕用超过三十年寿命砸门，也仅砸出凹坑罢了。
But if it exceeded the defensive Time Sequence by twice, it would cause serious damage. If three times or more, it would cause毁灭性的打击 to that body part. Just as Yang Zicang had punched Zhang Fei’s arms into ashes, he had used Time Sequence exceeding the three times attached to his arms.
但如果超过其防御时序的两倍，就会造成严重的伤害。三倍以上，便会对该部位造成毁灭性的打击，就如杨子藏一拳将张飞双臂打得灰飞烟灭，便是用超过它附着于手臂三倍的时序。
For these rat monsters at this moment, their lifespans were only about ten years. Even if amplified, it was only two or three times—a few decades at most.
此刻对于这些老鼠怪物来说，其寿命也就十来年，哪怕被增幅，也仅仅是翻两三倍，几十年而已。
Facing Yang Zicang, who attached a hundred years of amplified Time Sequence to even a casual pebble attack, their already fragile bodies would have the impact they received amplified, as if exploded by a firecracker.
遇到杨子藏这种随便一粒石子就附着增幅了百年时序的攻击，它们本就脆弱的躯体会被放大收到的冲击，如同被炮仗炸过似的。
But at this moment, Yang Zicang, having eliminated these figures, did not receive the opponent’s Time Sequence feedback!
但此刻，消灭这几道身影的杨子藏没有获得对方的时序反馈！
“What!” Yang Zicang felt a chill in his heart.
“什么！”杨子藏感觉到心寒。
“No Time Sequence for killing monsters? Is this the punishment?”
“杀死怪物没有时序，这就是惩罚吗？”
…
……
But in the scene people couldn’t see, these lifeless rats emitted streams of black mist that shot up the passage, streaked past Yang Zicang, and entered the cave behind him.
而在人们看不见的画面中，这些失去生命的老鼠们，身上冒出一道道黑雾窜上通道，从杨子藏身旁划过，进入后方那洞穴内。
They passed through the gaps in the iron door with the smashed lock, which wasn’t tightly closed, and converged into the belly of that figure in the hall.
它们穿过被敲碎锁的铁门那不甚严实的缝隙，汇聚到大殿内那道身影的肚内。
…
……
While Yang Zicang was still in shock, two sturdy figures lightly landed at the passage entrance. The rats that had sacrificed their lives to be their stepping stones had allowed them, transformed by the rings, to successfully reach here.
正在杨子藏诧异中，两道健硕身影已经轻盈落在通道口。那些牺牲生命为其垫脚的老鼠，让被光环改造过的它们成功来到了这里。
“Roar!” Triangular light flickered from the rings on their chests. Their figures rushed forward quickly!
“吼！”它们胸口光环闪烁出三角形，身影快速冲来！
Whoosh, whoosh!
呼呼！
Two steel claws streaked past him, missing by a hair’s breadth.
两道钢爪以差之毫厘的距离从自己身旁划过。
Yang Zicang’s eyes widened. His body swayed in their attacks like a wisp of grass in the wind.
杨子藏的眸子圆睁，身体如风中草絮般在这两人攻击中飘摇。
“Big brother, hang in there!”
“大哥你坚持住啊！”
Liang Xi anxiously hurried through this monster lair that had become空曠的.
梁喜焦急的奔驰在这已经变得空旷的怪物巢穴内。
In the perception scene from the rat, the rat-man leader holding the silver-white spear had already walked to the breach in the passage and was looking upward.
来自老鼠的感知画面中，那握着银白长枪的鼠人首领已经走到通道断裂处，往上空看去。
