Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

This is the first time that Wei Mingye has entered a box. The box that Vertin carries contains a huge space, just like the space ring on Wei Mingye's finger.

There are overgrown weeds in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and dilapidated buildings are hidden among them. There are many bookshelves in the living room, and the books inside are from different eras, just like the various televisions and radios placed on the floor.

The Nixie tube on the side kept dancing with numbers: 1929, 2.14, 16:30.

Vertin fiddled with the dial, and soon the call was connected.

"Hello, help me contact Ms. Z from the Saint Love Foundation."

Ms. Z's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's you, what's wrong?"

"I would like to apply for access to historical information on the U.S. financial market in 1929, specifically the historical date of the Wall Street stock market crash, and the degree of involvement of occultists in stock trading methods."

"Any more?"

"...Also, I request additional troops to support tonight's rainstorm rally. They must wear regular uniforms."

“1929年股灾的第一史实日期为10月24日星期四，并在28日、29日持续爆发。部门情报显示，该事件无神秘学界势力参与。”

Vertin couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Reshaping is artificially changing history, Ms. Z."

"I will give you a special operations team and the highest command authority. Don't act rashly without investigating the reasons why they changed history."

"Copy that. Also, Ms. Z, there is someone who wants to talk to you." Vertin handed the phone to Wei Mingye.

Wei Mingye took the phone and said in Chinese, "Long time no see, Ms. Z. I think you still remember the young man standing in the "heavy rain", right?" 』

Ms. Z was stunned at first, and then said in Chinese, "Of course I remember. I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman in a foreign country. This fate is wonderful." 』

"Actually, you should have paid attention to my actions over the years. I am also the "man with the severed hand". 』

Ms. Z's tone softened, "Thank you for your contribution to the Saint Love Foundation. May peace be with us." 』

"Peace be with us. After Vertin's mission is completed, I will return to the foundation with her, and we will meet again then. 』

"No problem, bye." 』

"goodbye. 』

Ms. Z closed the phone with indescribable joy on her face, and then she picked up the phone and called Constantine.

"Remember the boy in the 'Heavy Rain' I mentioned to you a long time ago? He is the 'Man with Severed Hands'." Although Ms. Z tried hard to calm down the joy in her heart, her slightly trembling voice could not conceal the sadness in her heart. That feeling.

"I didn't expect that." Constantine said calmly.

"He called me today. He said that after Vertin's mission is completed, he will return to the foundation together."

"That's right, Ms. Z, I'll trouble you to convince the young man to let him stay this time. I don't want those lunatics from the Hand of Reshaping to turn around and attack the 'man with severed hand'."

"clear."

-

"Vertin, your action this time will be very dangerous. According to all the information I have collected, the Hand of Reshaping has obtained your information. Your visit to the Walden Pond Bar this time is like sending a sheep to the tiger's mouth. "

"But no matter what, we must go to Walden Pond." Wilding said firmly.

"I know I can't stop you, so take these two." Wei Mingye handed Verting two small objects.

One is a little mouse made of black wood, and the other is a wooden man as black as coal.

"Pull that mouse's tail before you enter the bar. Please be sure to take that little wooden man with you. The little man will be of great use when necessary." Wei Mingye said solemnly.

"By the way...why are you helping us?" Vertin raised his head and looked at Wei Mingye, his dark green eyes like a ray of light shining straight into his soul.

"I am the 'Hanged Man' and I have been helping the foundation with some small things over the years. As for why I want to help... maybe it's because I have a kind heart." Wei Mingye turned the door handle and disappeared behind the door.

Vertin looked at the roughly made wooden figure and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really a strange person.

-

"Oh, it seems they've already penetrated it."

Wei Mingye stood in front of a wall. The front half of the car called "Automatic Island" was embedded in the wall. This was the back wall of the Walden Pond Bar. According to Wei Mingye's idea of ​​the plot, Su Fubi gave the driver a medicine she didn't know the name of in order to rush for time, and then the driver got high and rushed all the way to the place.

Wei Mingye took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the wall, then walked through the wall. Inside the wall was a huge space, like a maze.

"Then..." Wei Mingye took out a tube of Veritaserum and five little mice, poured the Veritaserum on the mice, and the wooden mice seemed to come alive and squeaked in Wei Mingye's hand. stop.

"Shh, be quiet." Wei Mingye whispered.

The mice nodded obediently and stopped barking immediately.

"Go and find a lady who smells like Veritaserum." Wei Mingye ordered, and several mice jumped out of his palm and blended into the darkness.

"Next, we have to wait for the protagonist to appear." Wei Mingye took a step back and was submerged in the darkness.

-

At the front entrance of the Walden Pond Bar, Vertin gently pulled the mouse's tail. The mouse seemed to come alive, jumped out of her hand and ran quickly into the bar.

"Thank you for your team's help." Vertin nodded slightly.

The operations captain stood next to Vertin in his regular uniform. Among the surrounding crowd, members of the operations team were also hidden.

"It allows you to ask Ms. Z for help. This mission is not easy."

"I just have a bad feeling. Are the other team members in place?"

"Yes, the eight members who participated in the rally have entered in batches, and the remaining members are on standby at various entrances and exits of the bar.

In addition, according to the information obtained about Walden Pond, they will hold a brave duel viewing competition tonight. Participants can receive 100 million U.S. dollars in holding coupons, and bettors can receive 5-10 times doubled interest rates. "

"Are they crazy?" Vertin said. It is difficult not to suspect that there is something fishy about such an exaggerated reward.

"Si Chen, take this." The captain of the action team handed Vertin an apple-sized ball with two wings attached to it.

"This is a new product developed by the scientific research center, 'Heaven Apostle 34:7'. This time, adding the cell fluid of the detonation ball, opening its wings and flapping it for 15 seconds can trigger a shock wave.

Please pay attention to your position when using it. "

"Understood, when we enter the bar, remember not to attract attention."

-

The bar was crowded, and the waiter was holding a tray with colorful drinks. Everyone present is not a dignitary, with gold necklaces, red crystal rings, and the unique stench of money exuding from their bodies. Tonight is destined to be a night of money carnival.

"Welcome, welcome everyone!"

The scene immediately became quiet after several claps, and everyone looked at the man standing on the high platform. He was wearing a smart suit, and his pale face was in sharp contrast to the black roses adorning his neck.

"He is the bar owner of this bar. In this era of Prohibition, he became the only bar in the United States that has not been banned by using the magic potion he developed - a potion that will only be converted into alcohol after entering the mouth. The raided tavern.

He is a cunning snake, from purchasing raw materials, obtaining a medical store license, distilling, transporting and selling, to joining forces with gangs to ensure safety, leaving no clues.

The tavern's willingness to accept all marginalized people and provide information on all kinds of redemptive positions established the Walden Pond Bar as Chicago's speakeasy. "said the captain of the action team.

"Have you found out his relationship with the Hand of Reshaping?" Veltin asked.

“No, although his past information has been artificially modified, we are certain that he is from this era.

However, we found that the time of his contact with politicians from Washington was similar to the initial period of the extraordinary prosperity of domestic financial markets.

Since then, Walden has been closely associated with trading in various occult stocks and finances. "

"Oh! Friends, there is no need to be like this! My eyes have fallen into the market chart!

friends! Let's set our expectations for the next Duel Viewing Tournament... Listen to me, you will be highly rewarded! "He adjusted his glasses and glanced at Vertin who was standing in the audience.

“Let’s try tonight’s dessert!

Welcome our Duel King from last year! With one person, he defeated 10 occultists and human challengers in a row! The defending champion who won the honor of being undefeated! "

The crowd began to chant, and some even threw banknotes. The dark green banknotes shone under the light.

The thin girl stood in the center of the duel stage, and the light illuminated her feather-soft skirt; the bright red skirt seemed to be dripping with blood at the next moment.

"It's her?" Vertin was a little surprised.

"Then, let's start choosing our challenger!"

The spotlight began to move, and the people in the audience couldn't help but get excited. Even if they were beaten and laid in bed for two months, it wouldn't be a loss if they could get a $100 million holding voucher!

Villas, luxury cars, beautiful women and champagne, what can’t you have?

Finally, the spotlight shone on Vertin, who reacted and couldn't help but curse.

"Then the lady in the round hat, please come on stage, generous rewards are waiting for you to take home!" The bar owner smiled, and his smile was really like a sinister snake.

With no way out, Vertin bravely came to the duel stage.

"Oh~ It's you, Mr. Government." The thin girl smiled.

"The contestants now on stage are last year's defending champion Snyder, and Si Chen and Vertin from the St. Love Foundation!"

It's exactly what he thought, Wilding thought.

"My master seems to want to see someone kill you with his own hands... and he deliberately created this opportunity." The gun in Snyder's hand spurted out fire snakes, and a bullet flew out and shattered a wine glass. Splash, the person next to him just wiped his face casually, and looked at the duel stage with burning eyes.

"Oops, missed.

Really, why did you come to die? Is it to enforce the foundation's justice? "

boom--

Vertin ducked sideways to avoid the flying bullets.

"But it's obvious that the foundation doesn't even have justice, and it doesn't even dare to make 'Heavy Rain' public. Is this justice for you to reject my 'family' with ridiculous lies?" Snyder fired continuously, and the more he said, Later he gritted his teeth even more.

At this moment, the scent of citrus flowers on her body became stronger and stronger.

"Have you been to the Foundation? The citrus smell on the mission capsule... so you were able to intercept the hostages outside the garage in advance?"

"Since defecting is not possible, then I will continue to complete the mission given to me by the master."

It was an exciting fight, and many people cheered and kept betting. No one noticed that in the corner of the bar, the blue light in the eyes of a mouse gradually faded.

"They started fighting..." The blue light in Wei Mingye's right eye faded away. This was something he didn't want to see, but he couldn't break in alone.

Suddenly, a picture emerged in his mind, of a weak woman leaning against the wall, with green veritaserum remaining on her lips.

"Found it!" Wei Mingye was overjoyed. He pressed the ring and disappeared.

"Snyder...help me...Snyder..." the woman shouted weakly, her voice was hoarse, but there was a belief that supported her.

Wei Mingye appeared in front of her, and five mice got into his pocket. He helped the woman up and took her to the ring space.

"The crazy critics of the Hand of Reshaping don't even spare ordinary people..." Wei Mingye's face was cold. He gently put the woman on the bed, wiped the residual truth serum from her mouth, and fed her She took some potion to restore her strength and then the woman fell asleep.

Then, he returned to the maze. He had found the location to break into the bar, but now was not the time. He had to stay calm. The enemy was on the bright side and he was on the dark side.

The Hand of Reshaping had already known about the arrival of Vertin and the others, and the trap had been prepared for them to jump into. However, Vertin knew that this was a banquet but had to go.

Although the Hand of Reshaping had expected it, they probably didn't expect that Wei Mingye would be hiding in the darkness, looking for opportunities...
