The cold wind in the north was like an everlasting ice skate, plowing through the hard permafrost as steel. A gray steel giant emitting black smoke columns broke into several pieces, scattered within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Lazarus Dragon landed lightly on the ground. He popped open the lid of the wine pot with his thumb and poured some wine into his mouth. Wearing a tight-fitting robe full of a sense of design in the future, another young man walked out of the air without saying a word, holding a ball in his hand that looked like two gears biting together, and was still spinning.

"It's counted as public trophy." The Qi Refiner took another sip of wine, "Where is Fan's surveillance situation?"

[Su Jing and his technician are discussing...a woman named Helen Keller. Does anyone have any impression of this name?]

"...Helen Keller? It sounds like the name of the old Earth era. It should be a person from his world." Lazarus recalled with his lips and the stainless steel mouse standing aside shook his head without any knowledge.

[…He was discussing about "What would it be like to have sex with Helen Keller?" I think from the context of the conversation, "Helen Keller" is a deaf and dumb blind woman, and their conversation theme is Mu Can's sexual fetishness.]

The Qi Refiner took a deep breath and sighed: "We spent more than ten days collecting all information. What we hear every day is this kind of shit, besides the slightest me and me. These edges and corners are not only understood by us... What is the practical significance of these people's brain circuits?"

[If there is a choice, I would rather change it with you.] Fan Newven's voice was also helpless, [but at least. We delayed for a few days, and in these days, the "Son of the Demon" has slaughtered more than 100,000 hell creatures of all levels. According to comprehensive evaluation, it is about the threshold of seven-star... His strength is enough to force the opponent's trump card.]

"We are playing with fire. If it is so strong that we can't contain it, it will be a fire. Damn Constantine, left us such a mess." Lazarus cursed in a low voice.

[Since your divination shows that Constantine is still alive, we know that he will cause something. Unfortunately, we cannot accurately locate his position, otherwise dealing with him will save us a lot of trouble.] In the communication channel, a hint of coldness appeared in Van Newven's strange voice. [The infamous liar Constantine, we know that he is not a person who is prone to death like this. It is indeed very smart to give up his body, but his energy fluctuations are synchronized with the wavelength of the "Son of the Demon". And by fusion with the power of the plot npc, he will instantly obtain quasi-gold-level power, and the plan is very good, but the mistake is that he should not use us.]

James Digretz was concentrating on wiping his weapon with a handkerchief: a weird pistol. Hearing this, he nodded in approval.

"I admit that Constantine is a sly guy. However, we are all elites in this industry who are invited by Endless Hell."

[Let me argue that Constantine is a liar. And I am a businessman.]

"Is there any difference?" Lazarus asked.

"Statement: I am a criminal with a noble sense of morality, not a liar or a businessman. Although I have many part-time jobs, I mainly focus on thieves and spy business, and have both intelligence and skills as the main focus of my career development." The stainless steel mouse who has not spoken was also rare. His voice was unexpectedly immature.

Lazarus stared at him for a while. In the end, Van Newven cleared the scene.

[Under our guidance, the "Son of Demons" traveled from Europe through Central Asia, devouring several of the oldest demon nobles. They are now crossing the hinterland of China, and will cross the sea in five hours and enter the Japanese archipelago where they are currently located.]

"Optimistically estimate their work efficiency, that island has been transformed into a nest of mechanical spiders by them. I am looking forward to what happens after the Demon Son boards the island."

[I am also looking forward to their expressions at that time. Even if they find something wrong now, it is too late. If the spider network is destroyed, they will have no bargaining chips to negotiate with us. Based on my personality evaluation of Su Jing and Lu Mengyao, and with their pride that they will never give in. This will be a tough battle.]

After cutting off the communication, Lazarus, who was not in the mood to clean up the mess, slowly shook the air and looked into the distance. In the distance, there was the Ural Mountains that stretched for thousands of kilometers. In the middle of the Eurasian continent, further north was the polar region of the Arctic. In the polar circle were blue ice seas and towering icebergs and ice fields. Further to the distance, there was a darkness. A gloomy darkness, like a dark cloud entrenched on the edge of the world, slowly spreading out.

Everything was in the plan, but he still felt a faint feeling of uneasiness. There were too many variables, and the hexagrams given by the turtle shell and yarrow were unclear and he could not read them. It was not a problem of divination, but actually his heart was confused. He was afraid of the trump cards that the other party had not found, and feared the previous divination results of the ten deaths without life.

Or, it is the self-pity that an old man who is entering his twilight years is in the face of youth with infinite possibilities...self-harm and self-pity.

"Is it going to be cold winter?" The red-haired Qi Refiner stood high and muttered to himself.

—————

"The related metal resources in the Hanshin Industrial Zone are indeed very rich." Su Jing pinched a piece of beef with two fingers, teasing the mechanical warlock like a puppy. The latter used his two front hands to grab Su Jing's arm and chewed his fingers, leaving deep teeth marks.

It is already late autumn, and the members of the Plane Traveler Team spend their spare time killing monsters, traveling, and doing some minor adjustments. After having the foundation for developing the technology, Su Jing and Gaiqi, the two technicians of the technology stream, showed a huge influence that others could not reach. The von Neumann mechanical spiders are growing rapidly with theoretical geometric index. After taking Tokyo and returning to basic social operations, trucks, trains and planes are filled with mechanical spiders and transporting them to all parts of the country. The primary goal is to various industrial centers in Japan.

In just a few days, the spider network has used the transportation network as its nodes, covering the entire Japan.

With the spider network, taking over this messy country is not a very difficult task when the original administrative agency is completely collapsed. Humans controlled by spiders (the main model used now has been changed to "electric spiders" that can be charged with household sockets) have been suppressed most of the negative emotions. All emotions that are meaningless to collective work have been cleared, leaving only the secretion of hormones imprinted on the cerebral cortex related to positive feedback of behavior. Everyone works frantically for the sake of overall interests, suppressing physiological desires to the lowest level.

All unnecessary metal products became the materials for new spiders. The factory gates were open, and workers carried steel and metal out of the warehouse and fed the eyes of the spider army together with all the lathe mills. There were large marchs of silver spiders on every road. In the mountains, bears were driven out of their holes, towering ancient trees collapsed because the foundation was dug, and the mountain collapsed on a small or large scale - these situations continued to occur.

Billions of spider legions climbed the Japanese archipelago in a very short time. With the takeoff of planes, these quiet little things quickly waving their eight limbs to climb onto the land of various countries, spreading the rapidly spreading spider networks around the world.

And the initiators of everything are sitting in a picnic in the woods in Fuji Hakone Izu National Park.

"To sum up, the central tectonic line and the Shizuoka tectonic line are two faults that run across Japan. The Japanese archipelago is on the fault boundary between the four continental blocks, so the geological conditions are very bad - earthquakes and tsunamis occur frequently. From this point of view, I think it is easy to understand that their native Shinto culture is so prosperous, and even the primitive elves system such as eight million gods is so exaggerated. Because it is natural to live in such a place full of natural disasters since ancient times, it is natural to have a very deep worship of gods. Speaking of which, the primitive religion mentioned in "Golden Branch"..."

"...Wait. Pause for a little bit." Lu Mengyao raised her hand and interrupted Su Jing's talk. "A minute ago, the topic was whether Helen Keller had a sense of touch that ordinary people could not meet because of the lack of three main senses, and whether her sexual pleasure might be more intense than ordinary people. I was distracted when I was eating a meal. In these sixty seconds, how did the topic jump from the self-compensation of the central nervous system to Japan's geology and religious culture?"

Su Jing put down the chopsticks in his hand and thoughtfully: "Let me recall the context of the conversation..."

In the forest dozens of meters away from the dining room, Sadako, a mountain village dressed in white, was stepping on the soft fallen leaves, and Su Luo was holding a telescope to see the majestic Mount Fuji in the distance.

"...What are you looking at?" After considering a few beginnings, Sadako Yamamura decided to start with this sentence, "I thought you would be happy to join the dinner."

Su Luo did not put down the telescope in her hand, and smiled slightly, "Like my brother, I sometimes like to be alone and quiet-I don't mean to drive you away, I'm very happy to have you talk to me."

Sadako Yamamura then accompanied her to watch Mount Fuji without saying a word.

"Has it erupted?" Su Luo asked after a while.

Sadako Yamamura recalled a little and said, "The last time... it should have happened in the 18th century. But everyone thinks that Mount Fuji will be angry again sooner or later. It is better to say that it is precisely because it is a dormant volcano that it has such majestic charm."

"I suddenly feel that we are like a group of...innovators in these worlds." Su Luo sighed, "We destroy everything in the past and then build a new world... like a fire in the forest. But none of us knows whether the changed world will be better or the other way around."

"So we are called 'adventurers'." Sadako Yamamura said.
