"Alright, the three of you have arrived. That'll be fifty-six yuan in total."
"I don't have Atan Country currency here, can I use Russian dollars?"
"Yes, but it would cost sixty Russian dollars."
"OK."
The three men got out of the Tuote and took out sixty yuan from their wallets to hand to the taxi driver.
"Okay, have a nice day, goodbye."
The taxi driver stuffed the money into his pocket, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
"This country is so hot..."
Weier fanned himself with his hand, sweat streaming down his forehead.
Having spent so much time in a cold country like Russia, it's a bit disorienting to suddenly be in such a hot place.
Tuote is alright, Weier is starting to feel dizzy.
"Let's go into town and find a place to escape the heat."
"Yes, okay... Mr. Tuote..."
After saying this, Tuote led the two women into the city.
When I reached the border, I was stopped by the guards. "Entry permit, paper or electronic, is acceptable."
Tuote hesitated slightly, "Um..."
He was about to say something when Hela behind him suddenly ignored them and walked forward slowly.
"Hey, stop! No entry without permission!"
Seeing Hela preparing to force her way in, the security personnel hurriedly placed their hands on the guns at their waists. But just then, the television screen next to them flashed, displaying the three people's pass permits.
The security personnel were stunned.
When he came to his senses, the group had already disappeared from his sight.
"This..." The security guard scratched his head.
City A
"So it was achieved through this data-type Variant?"
Tuote examined the [X] USB drive in his hand with repeated amazement.
"Please let go... You are not a member of the Light God Society... You have no right to touch me..."
[X] A deep voice came from Tuote's phone, with a clear hint of warning in its tone.
Tuote pushed up his glasses. "Okay."
After saying that, he returned the USB drive to Hela.
Hela took it and swallowed it in one gulp, then looked around and spotted a passerby looking down at their phone.
Hela stepped forward and snatched the phone from the other person.
The passerby was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted angrily at Hela, "What are you doing!"
"Give me the phone."
Hela took the other person's phone, said something without turning her head, and then strode forward.
His self-righteous manner even surprised the phone's owner.
Then, realizing what was happening, he took two steps forward and grabbed Hela's shoulder, "Stop right there..."
Hela slowly turned her head, her large, peach-pink eyes gazing at the other person.
Knock knock!
The passerby's heart pounded, and all his muscles stiffened instantly.
At that moment, the passerby's mind became more active than ever before, and everything in front of him became incredibly clear.
But his eyes were fixed only on those eyes that resembled those of death.
Her peach-pink eyes Mingming beautiful, but the murderous intent hidden beneath them was something this man had never witnessed before in his life.
thump!
The man stumbled backward and fell, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Hela stopped staring at the other person and turned her head to look at her phone.
"Is there anyone to meet us this time?"
The phone screen flashed for a moment, and then a large red X appeared.
"Our Light God Society only has a few dozen people, how could we possibly be everywhere..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Well, looks like you're in luck... there just happens to be a full-fledged member around here... they should be..."
"Here."
A middle-aged man's voice rang out from the side.
Hela turned her head and looked over. "Oh, I know you. You're the uncle who offered me the cigarette."
The middle-aged man leaned against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and smiled. "To be remembered by the [Five Calamities] should be considered an honor or a misfortune?"
Don't worry, I won't eat you.
"Then I'm relieved."
The middle-aged man exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly walked up to Hela. "My name is Audrey Yuliu. You don't need to introduce yourself; I know your basic information."
"Oh."
Hela nodded, and at the same time, she smelled a strong stench of blood on Yuliu.
"Hello, are you the one who's connecting with the boss?"
Tuote stepped forward and politely inquired, while Weier, looking at the other man's fierce appearance with a scar on his face, unconsciously hid behind Tuote.
Yuliu glanced at the other person, took out a cigarette, and handed it to him. "Your name is Tuote, right?"
Tuote took the cigarette. "There's not much need to investigate my intelligence, is there?"
Yuliu smiled. "As professional mercenaries, gathering information is an instinct ingrained in our bones."
"I see."
"Alright, take me to my place quickly."
Hela didn't want to hear any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
Yuliu took a deep drag on his cigarette, then turned around, his long black robe flashing through the air.
"Come with me."
The black leather shoes clicked on the ground. Tuote and Hela exchanged a glance and followed.
How about a concert?
"How about checking out Mr. [Name]'s concert?"
On the roadside, a scantily clad young woman was handing out a stack of colorful flyers to passersby.
"Sir, would you like to see tonight's concert? It's the first performance by the Brilliant Girl Group!"
The girl held out a flyer to Yuliu, but Yuliu waved it away.
"Uh... hey, miss, how about a concert?"
The girl saw Hela and quickly stuffed a flyer into her hand.
Hela glanced at the flyer; the most eye-catching image was a group photo of a girl group.
What's unusual is that these girl groups all have various kinds of mechanical prosthetics.
Some are arms, some are legs, and some are eyes.
However, unlike the ones Hela had seen before, these machines didn't seem to be designed for combat; instead, they were quite beautiful.
It gives off a cyberpunk vibe.
"What is this? Has the outside world developed this fast in just five years?"
Hela, as if she were a primitive person who had traveled from ancient times, asked Tuote beside her.
"Oh, this is just a girl group from an entertainment group that was established a few years ago."
"Their group possessed excellent technological capabilities, and with its cutting-edge machine design, it quickly became popular."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's now the most developed group in Atan Country."
"The name, if I remember correctly, should be called the Fallen God Group."
"What a strange name," Hela muttered, tossing the flyer aside.
At that moment, the Yuliu at the very front stopped, causing Hela to bump headfirst into the other person's back.
"We've arrived. This will be our temporary accommodation."
Yuliu threw away his cigarette butt and pointed to the bar in front of him, which was not yet open.
