Asking for a monthly ticket)

The bright sunshine shines on the white bed through the half-open gauze curtains.

The girl's long silver hair was spread on the bed like silk, and the crisp ringtone and vibration of the bracelet woke her from a deep sleep.

The girl struggled to lift the quilt, got up from the bed, and looked around in confusion.

Confusing dreams and clear reality intertwined in her eyes.

Not far from the bed is an intelligent ergonomic chair and computer screens densely arranged throughout the entire wall.

This is her room and her studio.

After a while, she finally woke up from her dream. She rubbed her head, and her somewhat out-of-focus pupils gradually gathered a faint light.

She turned to look at the bedside. The smart bracelet placed on the bedside was vibrating slowly, and a crisp ringtone rang at the same time.

Her white little hand stretched out, pressed it on the bracelet, then grabbed the bracelet and picked up the noisy thing.

She looked at the phone number marked as Inno Media on the bracelet and chose to answer it with some confusion.

"What's matter?"

She sat up from the bed, her fair and exquisite little feet stepped on the smooth floor, and the intelligent ergonomic chair automatically slid over and arrived in front of her.

She sat on the chair on one side of her body, and the chair moved her to the computer desk.

"Miss Vianna, a gentleman from Wetland called you this morning. He said he was an old friend of yours, but he hasn't seen you for many years. He doesn't have your contact information. Please let us contact you."

A gentle clerk's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Friends from Wetland?"

Vianna was stunned.

Wetland, that's a city on the other side of the Commonwealth.

She was a little confused, her brain was still in the trouble of just waking up, and she couldn't recall for a while whether she really had a friend from Wetland.

She hasn't made any new friends for a long, long time.

"What's his name?"

She lifted the computer screen saver and woke up the computer.

As windows filled with code appeared in front of her, the other end of the phone also responded, "His name is Jess, and he is an associate professor at Witland University. He said that you met in Kaya City before.

However, his father and your grandfather are good friends."

The girl's fingers froze while typing on the keyboard.

——

He Ao, who was leaning in the shadow of the alleyway, stared at the smuggling groups and gang members trading in front of him.

"You have a new friend request."

Eve's voice rang in Heao's ears.

He raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet, then looked up at the off-road vehicle in front of him and sat back in the back seat of the modified vehicle.

At this moment, the few gang members who came to the joint to pick up the goods had completed the transaction and were starting their off-road vehicles to leave.

"Mr. Jess, do you want to follow?"

Ryan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, watched He Ao close the car door. He didn't care what He Ao had just done, but asked slowly.

"Follow up."

He Ao nodded slightly.

"OK."

Ryan started the vehicle, widened the distance, and slowly followed the off-road vehicles.

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the friend request on his bracelet.

It was an account with a silver-haired cartoon girl's avatar.

This avatar awakened his memory that seemed to be a long time ago.

The last time he saw Vianna was in the third official dungeon, the restaurant owner Roy's dungeon.

The girl was not tall and had beautiful silver hair. She followed him and called him "uncle" in a childish and reckless manner.

After 'Roy''s death, she joined Christos' team and became a senior advisor to Inno Media, which was controlled by Christos.

Her name is still posted on the official website of Inno Media.

Vianna has a strong computer talent. According to Christos, it was she who spread the previous speech of 'K' on the Internet.

This talent is different from Vian's. Vian learns, constructs, and creates artificial intelligence like Eve with huge and efficient computing power, while Vianna is better at finding loopholes in software and systems.

In a sense, Vianna is a born hacker.

Under certain circumstances, Ho needs Vianna's help.

So he contacted Vianna through Inno Media, and then left his social account and asked Vianna to add him as a friend.

The buildings outside the car window slowly receded, and He Ao accepted Vianna's friend invitation.

Soon after passing the invitation, Vianna sent a tentative message first, "Uncle Jess?"

He Ao replied, "Long time no see."

Next, He Ao had a simple exchange with her.

The first is self-identification, which is not difficult, because Vianna's grandfather, Professor Mock, not only often praises Jess in front of his students, but also praises him in front of his little granddaughter, and encourages his little granddaughter to become like Jess.

scholars.

So although Jace doesn't have much information about Vianna in his memory, Vianna has a very deep memory of Jace.

Through some simple events and after starting a short video call, Vianna temporarily determined He Ao's identity.

What follows is some exchanges about what has happened in recent years.

After the death of Professor Mork, Vianna followed Roy's father into exile in Dawn City. At that time, Jess thought that Vianna was dead, so he did not spend more energy to investigate, so he did not know about this experience.

Of course, He Ao knew.

The scenery outside the car window flew away, and before I knew it, the off-road vehicle in front had left the West District and entered the Plant District.

Ryan is very experienced in tracking. He does not always follow those off-road vehicles, but uses some remote trails to keep a certain line of sight and is familiar with the routes to catch those off-road vehicles.

As the vehicles entered the Plant District, the speed of the off-road vehicles slowly slowed down.

Although the Plant District is not as good as the North Wetterland District and the Saint-Lot District, the public security is still far better than that of the West District. If you cause trouble here, you will easily be targeted by the Plant District Police Department.

At this time, there was a slight traffic jam in front of the vehicle.

Taking advantage of this time, He Ao and Ryan changed into an ordinary car that Ryan called and was common in the Plant District. Modified cars are very common in the West District, but they are a bit conspicuous in the Plant District.

After getting on the new car, He Ao looked away from the off-road vehicle in front of him and looked at the message from Vianna on his bracelet again.

More than a year has passed, and Vianna's tone of voice has matured a lot.

She did not describe in detail what happened after she was exiled to Chenxi City. She just briefly mentioned that she was now working at Inno Media and her life was fairly stable.

She still couldn't completely believe anyone. People would change. After so many years, 'Jace's' sudden contact seemed a bit suspicious.

He Ao was not surprised by her attitude. After all, Vianna had been in exile for so long while being hunted by the Witch Church. If she could trust someone so easily, she would have turned into a handful of ashes long ago.

He Ao also talked about the things that ‘Jace’ has met over the years.

From the death of Professor Mork, the murder of his wife, to being forced to participate in the research of genetic medicines, to the killing of Vader not long ago, and learning from Vader that Vianna is still alive, all the events are briefly described.

He Ao's description was brief and calm, without too much emotion.

But Vianna over there fell into silence after reading it.

The chat box always showed 'the other party is typing', but she didn't seem to know what language to use to comfort 'Uncle Jess'.

He Ao did not wait for her reply, but directly skipped this embarrassing stage, and then said, "I am about to catch the mysterious man. I need you to do a favor. You may be asked to help me invade something related to the mysterious man."

A system to obtain key information, and I will have someone here to help."

This time, the reply came almost immediately, "Okay."

He Ao breathed a sigh of relief and put down the bracelet.

"Mr. Jess, we're here."

The modified car slowly stopped.

He Ao looked up and saw that on the other side of the street, those off-road vehicles stopped in front of an open warehouse door, then slowly drove in, and then the warehouse door closed.

After about ten minutes, the warehouse door was opened, and several off-road vehicles drove out. The goods originally loaded in the vehicles were gone.

This warehouse is not big. It is a simple straight warehouse. From the door, you can see most of the area inside the warehouse. Through the gap in the warehouse door, He Ao can vaguely see the goods stacked inside.

At this time, the warehouse door has been closed again.

"Mr. Jess, do you want to follow?"
