The mission has begun.
Wen Xishu, as the vanguard, began moving upward under Horn's control and was also responsible for clearing the way for Horn. Hugo, on the other hand, pushed Horn's wheelchair and judged the path based on Horn's oral description.
The three of them were heading toward the upper levels of the spherical building.
Above the resting area of the spherical building is the functional layer. Above the functional layer is the administrative layer.
Starting from entering the functional layer, they would encounter Law Enforcers.
If they manage to shake off these Law Enforcers and enter the administrative layer, they need to reach the central area of the administrative layer. There, they would see the device that operates the city's projection.
The operation instructions for this device are not complicated. Hugo said the most difficult part is still facing the Law Enforcers.
Because currently, there's no way to bypass the Law Enforcers. The entire administrative layer, once stepped into, would immediately attract the Law Enforcers.
Horn needs to control Wen Xishu, and the spherical building spans one-sixth of the city's distance, which is enough to create a considerable distance between him and Wen Xishu.
To maintain the effective range of the handle, Horn and Wen Xishu must keep a distance.
So, Horn and Hugo cannot both stay in the resting area.
But the range of the handle link is large enough, allowing Wen Xishu to handle various troubles and then let Horn and Hugo catch up.
No matter which area, except for the final administrative center which has a large open terrain, other areas have plenty of cover.
Wen Xishu also maintained a distance that he could always retreat and rescue Horn.
The three cautiously advanced, with vanguard Wen Xishu quickly moving into the functional area.
In this area, one could see small playgrounds, stadiums, and various exquisite—shop stickers.
Yes, stickers.
Luxurious exhibition areas and top luxury stores here are just stickers.
Only through cameras and post-processing does the outside world not notice this.
The life of the 'elite' is entirely fake from beginning to end.
Wen Xishu stepped into the street, immediately triggering alarm sounds.
But Wen Xishu did not panic. He and Horn had established a silent communication method, using the number of blinks to decide actions.
He signaled Horn to keep moving.
[Alarm, someone has invaded the functional area without permission according to the operation manual. Law Enforcer troops dispatched!]
[Current threat level, four.]
Wen Xishu had done such great evil but never reached level four. Yet inside the spherical building, simply stepping into an unauthorized area instantly brought a level four threat.
He was curious about what the Law Enforcers were like.
Soon Wen Xishu got the answer.
Within an astonishing thirty seconds, Law Enforcers, assisted by mechanical passages from other parts of the spherical building, were forcibly transported to the functional area to start their enforcement.
Presented before Wen Xishu…
They were not Law Enforcers in uniforms. They were just like Hugo, or more accurately, like the 'elite' here, with a scar on their forehead from a removed frontal lobe, wearing white uniforms.
But different from the elite, their appearances were identical, exaggerating their muscular features, presenting a fierce and ruthless exterior, with no hair and no eyebrows, making their appearance both fierce and grotesque.
Wen Xishu suddenly realized…
That those who lost their frontal lobe in the spherical building not only were forced to work as factory production tools but also some… were used for human experiments.
Twelve Law Enforcers arrived, with more continuously appearing.
Guided by the behavior norms manual, these Law Enforcers had no fear of pain, making them purely more efficient warriors with more precise execution of orders.
Horn from a distance signaled Hugo to stop.
Hugo's heart tightened. Because there's no way to deal with the Law Enforcers except through brute force.
"I need to control Wen Xishu and record the terrain during the battle… Hold on, Hugo."
Hugo could not see the scene on the other side.
But Horn could.
Under the control of the handle, Wen Xishu had already revealed his Scorpio Knife.
His figure, like a phantom, swiftly positioned behind the twelve Law Enforcers, who quickly responded by turning around, trying to restrain Wen Xishu.
Twelve shadows formed a butterfly-shaped lethal array. The Law Enforcers' arms had bones piercing through the flesh, presenting bone blades.
These bone blades slashed out arcs!
Wen Xishu instantly responded, Scorpio Knife in his palm flashing a dark red arc.
Wen Xishu's foot collided with the outer side of a Law Enforcer's bone blade. Based on the feedback, Wen Xishu could feel… the level of these Law Enforcers was likely between elite and leader.
Incredible.
But under the handle's control, Wen Xishu remained the strongest.
The first Law Enforcer to lunge was pierced through the throat by the blade. Scorpio Knife was cleanly pulled out by Wen Xishu, who then dodged the second bone blade.
The second bone blade almost grazed his ear. During the dodge, Wen Xishu's feet performed a dazzling flicking motion.
Horn's control became more refined. Whether it was an illusion… Wen Xishu felt that the connection the handle provided—the feeling—
It was as if Horn's friendship or trust in him was no less than that of himself and Zheng Zai.
With agile footwork, the deadly football was already airborne. Wen Xishu then delivered a precise flying kick. An arc accurately burst the head of a Law Enforcer attempting to attack from the right side.
