In the dark corridor of the prison, Huang Wei walked quickly while holding the phone, and asked sleepily: "Based on Ren Ye's level before the accident, how much is his full pension?"
"Did Ren agree?" A man's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, he agreed."
"..." The man was silent for a moment. "The compensation standard of his former unit is 20 times the per capita disposable income of the previous year + 40 months' salary corresponding to his level. If there are personal honors, there will be additional compensation. A rough calculation shows that it is about one million."
"Prepare the materials now, and make sure the numbers are accurate. I'll apply for it tomorrow morning." Huang Wei ordered without question: "The money must be approved before he goes in."
"Is this his condition?"
"No, he hasn't mentioned it yet. I just want to give it to him. I will give it to him regardless of whether he can succeed or not." Huang Wei replied very temperamentally.
"Okay, I'll make the materials." The man immediately agreed: "But boss, I'm really curious, how did you convince him to come in?"
Huang Wei smiled, but responded calmly, "Oh, it's just my personality charm."
…
The next day at noon, Ren had just finished sewing when he was taken away from the prison by staff and put into an ordinary commercial vehicle. During this process, he did not sign any written documents, and did not even go through the procedures for leaving the prison.
From a legal perspective, he is still serving his sentence in Qingfu Prison and there is no such person in society.
From this, it seems that Huang Wei and the department behind him are really awesome...
In addition to Lao Huang, there was also a young female driver in the business car. She looked to be about twenty years old, with a beautiful face and bright eyes. Even though she was sitting in the driver's seat, she couldn't hide her long legs that were comparable to those of a supermodel.
She must be at least 1.72 meters tall, wearing a formal dress with the collar of her shirt slightly open, making her bulging chest, which was big enough to be placed on the table, look more impactful.
The girl's left hand rested naturally on the steering wheel, and she held the phone in her right hand and clicked on a voice message in a group chat.
"Niannian, I heard that you found a potential stock in the prison, named Ren Ye, is this true?"
"Yes, I heard about it too. What's going on? You're recruiting people from prison now. Aren't you too shameless?"
"I heard that Ren was also a murderer. Can such a person be absorbed? This is outrageous!"
"Has that kid's career been decided?"
Listening to the chatter in the group, the long-legged guy deliberately cleared his throat and said in a slightly nervous tone, "No, these are all rumors, not reliable. Don't tag me, I'm preparing for training and waiting for the opening."
After saying that, he stuffed the phone into his narrow trouser pocket.
Ren also heard someone mention him in the group chat just now, and looked at Huang Wei with confusion.
"They are just a bunch of little Karamis, ignore them." Huang Wei passed it over vaguely, and said from the passenger seat: "Nian Nian, drive."
This reply was very vague, which made Ren Ye even more confused. He hadn't even come out yet, so why were people discussing him outside? It seemed like they knew something about him, and why would the long-legged guy lie?
Ren Ye was filled with doubts as he saw the commercial vehicle leaving the prison parking lot and the scene on the street passing by in a hurry.
The weather was nice, with a clear sky. The warm sunlight shining on his skin made him look whiter and even a little transparent.
I haven't seen the sunshine outside the high walls for a long time. It feels like freedom.
…
No. 88 Lianhu Road, in a two-story building.
"You guys chat, I'm going to work." After greeting the two of them, the long-legged Nian Nian disappeared into the hall.
Ren also looked around and saw that there was no one in this so-called special unit, not even a guard at the gate: "It's very deserted here."
Huang Wei smiled mysteriously: "They should all be going to observe some magical things."
Ren nodded and followed.
The two walked along the stairs in the hall and came to the B2 floor. The decoration and furnishings on this floor were still ordinary. It looked similar to that of an ordinary institutional department, or even older.
After a while, they came to the door of an office, and Ren Ye saw the nameplate hanging on the wall at a glance, with the words "Red Eye Mad War" written on it.
Is this Huang Wei's nickname? So cheesy, is this the style of the guy who works 996 hours a day?
Huang Wei swiped his card to enter, turned around and called out to Ren Ye: "Come in."
"oh."
The two of them entered one after the other and closed the door.
"sit."
Huang Wei picked his nose habitually and poured two glasses of water lazily.
Ren also observed the room, hunched over and sat down in the chair next to the desk, without saying anything.
"I must be honest with you. Before the conversation begins, you still have a chance to regret. Leave this building, go to the door and take a taxi. When you return to prison, you can still happily pedal the sewing machine." Old Huang placed the water cup in front of Ren Ye and bent down to sit opposite him. "But once the conversation begins, you can only go down this path to the end."
Ren also smiled: "I hate leaders like you the most. You were the one who asked me to come, and after I came, you were the one who seemed to be trying to dissuade me out of righteousness. Is this interesting?"
"I'm annoyed too." Huang Wei shrugged his shoulders: "But this will appear democratic."
"Oh."
Ren also sneered, not acting like a conscious anti-fraud activist at all.
"Okay." Huang Wei's face became serious, and he stretched out his hand towards Ren Ye and said, "Let me formally introduce myself again. Huang Wei, a Star Gate player, a second-level Star Envoy, stage title: Blood-Eyed Monk, the owner of the Warrior inheritance."
"What do you mean? Player? Star Envoy? No, what are you talking about..."
Before Ren Ye could finish speaking, Huang Wei, who was sitting opposite the desk, still kept his right hand extended, but when his eyes stared at Ren Ye... something changed drastically.
"brush!"
In an instant, his pupils suddenly turned blood red and emitted a faint halo, as if he was a demon who had died unjustly and was shedding tears of blood.
The most important thing is that the lines on Huang Wei's cheeks also became three-dimensional at this moment, and the whole person exuded an inexplicable murderous aura. The terrifying feeling of oppression made Ren Ye instinctively dodge backwards, with his entire back pressed tightly against the back of the chair.
What's wrong with his eyes? Shit, did he see Lao Wang next door enter his bedroom?
Although Ren had prepared himself mentally before coming here, he knew that the people or organization he was facing might be the kind that would subvert his three views; the incident he was about to get involved in might also be full of horror and weirdness... But when this moment came, he was still confused, and his body shook uncontrollably twice.
"I said, from the moment you nodded, the gears of fate will start to turn, and you will have the opportunity to embrace an incomparably splendid life." Huang Wei still raised his hand.
Ren Ye's forehead was sweating, and he shook hands with Huang Wei very perfunctorily: "...you...what did you mean by what you said just now?"
Huang Wei was very satisfied with Ren Ye's reaction, and felt that his sudden pretense was reasonable. This kid was not an ordinary person, and his psychological quality was strong. If he wanted to make his thinking collapse instantly, he had to give him a certain shock from the senses.
After Ren calmed down for a while, Old Huang said in a magnetic voice: "There is a star gate in the world, and those who enter it will become gods."
"This is a saying that is popular among Stargate players, and it is easy to understand. Simply put, in the world we are familiar with, oh no, in the entire universe, there are many space fragments. They are scattered like stars and cannot be seen by ordinary people. The interior of the Star Mark Gate is sometimes vast and boundless, with no boundaries to be explored; sometimes it is very small, or only the size of a tomb, but they all contain the magical heritage left by countless races and civilizations."
"We call those who are randomly invited to enter the Star Mark Gate players. After entering the Star Gate, they need to complete many strange tasks. After successfully passing them, they will obtain inherited abilities comparable to those of gods, or magical props, etc."
At this point, Huang Wei asked patiently: "Do you understand what I said?"
Ren was stunned. After forcing himself to calm down, he tried to summarize: "The heavens and the worlds? The infinite copy world?"
"I don't read online articles, they are very vulgar." Huang Wei was stunned for a moment: "But I have heard of these two words. They do have similarities, but they are also fundamentally different."
"Did you get your pink eye after entering this door?"
"Let me correct you. I don't have pink eye." Huang Wei emphasized, "I am a handsome soldier."
"...!" Ren Ye observed Huang Wei's eye boogers and nodded silently.
"Simply speaking, the inherited abilities of the Star Gate that are comparable to those of gods can be roughly divided into two types. One is called ordered inheritance, with a complete path to advancement, just like having a one-on-one master; the other is called disordered inheritance, with a relatively messy path to advancement, and each advancement requires personal talent and understanding. In a comprehensive comparison, the personal abilities shown by disordered inheritors are relatively weak in the early stages." Huang Wei deliberately slowed down his speech when he said this: "In short, the more special the ordered inheritance, the higher the value and the rarer it is. In addition, the biggest difference between the two is... the ordered inheritor will be recognized by the corresponding Star Mark Gate and will be completely bound to it."
"What does it mean to be bound to it?" Ren Ye asked curiously.
"That is to say... once you are recognized by the star gate of orderly inheritance, this gate will belong to you personally, and you will have an exclusive gate spirit who will have the authority to open or close it at any time. As your level increases, you can even change the rules of the world inside it and become the master of that world." Huang Wei responded concisely and clearly.
After being stunned, stunned, and silent for a long time, Ren Ye urgently concluded: "Suppose! I mean suppose, a star gate is as big as the earth, then after I get its approval, this earth will be mine?! I can even invite a bunch of young ladies who charge service fees to enter, and live a life of squeezing my kidneys every day, isn't it illegal?"
"That's the theory." Huang Wei nodded.
Ren Ye instantly imagined the scene in his mind: "Life is indeed colorful..."
"Please summarize what I just said to you in one sentence." Huang Wei looked at him with an interrogative look.
Ren also frowned, and after organizing his words carefully, he said: "There are countless fragmented spaces in the universe. Those who enter will receive superpower inheritance after completing their tasks. There are two types of inheritance: ordered and disordered. The former is stronger, and the rarer it is, the stronger it is."
"Very good, now let's talk about the purpose of inviting you here."
Huang Wei nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked inside with his hands behind his back: "A month ago, one of our players found out that he had obtained the admission to another star gate after completing the star gate mission, and could invite three additional players to enter together."
"Continuous missions?" Ren asked uncertainly.
"Smart!" Huang Wei looked at him with bright eyes: "In other words, the tasks this player has experienced before are just a prelude, and the final special reward is actually the admission qualification to this star gate. An independent star gate is paving the way for the tasks of another star gate. This situation rarely happens. So we infer that this star gate that requires admission qualifications is of a very high status, and the inheritance system inside may be extremely rare!"
Huang Wei's tone was very serious in the last half of the sentence. He was obviously reminding Ren Ye of the importance of this admission qualification.
"For a region or a nation, any rare resources must be fought for." Huang Wei is a fan with a very positive outlook and a high level of ideological awareness: "So, I helped him select three very elite players to enter this Star Mark Gate together."
"Have the three selected people been compensated?" Ren Ye asked very realistically.
"Of course." Huang Weizheng nodded: "But...!"
"But what?" Ren Ye asked.
"After these four people entered the Star Gate, we completely lost contact." Huang Wei looked at him with his hands behind his back: "There has been no news for more than 20 days...!"
When Ren Ye heard this, he became nervous for no reason.
Huang Wei stopped and looked at Ren Ye with sadness in his eyes: "It was not until three days ago that a player returned with an item, and this item turned out to be the token to open the final star gate."
"The continuous missions haven't been completed yet? Then...what then? What about the other three people?" Ren Ye asked.
"The man who came out...didn't say anything." Huang Wei lowered his head with red eyes.
"Didn't say? What do you mean?!"
Huang Wei sighed, his face full of distress: "The man who came out was covered in ulcers, his eyes were lifeless, and he fell directly in front of the Star Gate. We treated him immediately, but the doctor diagnosed... he died three days ago."
"What?!" Ren Ye stood up in disbelief: "You...you mean, a corpse that has been dead for three days came out with a prop?"
"Yes." Huang Wei nodded: "We speculated that the three people were also dead, died in the star gate, so... we found you."
"They found... found me?" Ren Ye stuttered, "Why? Why did they find me in the end of a series of missions where four people died? Is it because I'm better at sewing machines?"
Huang Wei forced himself to put aside his sad emotions and looked up at Ren Ye, who also revealed a puzzled look.
Ren was also a little frightened by the stare: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Be prepared, because what you are about to see may be too weird." Huang Wei kindly reminded.
Ren Ye didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing what he said, he suddenly felt creepy.
"Password, 7933-2." Huang Wei shouted abruptly.
"Verification successful~"
An electronic sound rang out.
"Crash!"
In the middle of the bookshelf, a secret compartment slowly rose up, revealing a safe inside that slowly opened.
Ren Ye frowned and looked over, and saw a brush holder placed in the middle of the safe, with a brush of simple shape and apparently rare material placed horizontally on the holder.
"This brush is the prop brought out by the last brother. Go over and pick it up." Huang Wei gave the order with his hands behind his back.
Ren considered it carefully, and decided to follow the other party's instructions. He walked to the bookshelf and slowly picked up the pen.
It feels cool to the touch, with a good texture, and the pen body is slightly reflective. You can tell at first glance that it is not a common object, but at least a cultural relic.
"There are words on the pen, can you see them?" Huang Wei took several steps back and stood at the door, turning off the lights.
Ren also carefully observed the pen and found that there were indeed two lines of small golden words glowing fluorescently: "I can see it."
"Stand inside the desk, copy these two lines of small characters in an empty space, and read them out loud."
"You're just reading it dryly? There's no background music or anything? These two words are a bit awkward to write." Ren Ye used a casual tone to release the tension in his heart: "It's so embarrassing...!"
Huang Wei looked at him and did not respond.
"Huh~!"
Ren also let out a long breath, trying to calm the nervous mood in his heart, walked to the center of the office, raised his arm, and held the pen.
He really couldn't guess what was going to happen next, and his whole arm was shaking.
Now that I'm here, I don't care.
Ren Ye looked forward, and began to wave his arm to copy, with the tip of the pen slowly moving through the air.
"I will take up my pen and paint the mountains and rivers on the stage!"
After he finished speaking, he stopped writing.
"Bo~!"
Suddenly, the air flow vibrated, and a bright starlight appeared, and in an instant it spread out vertically in the room like ink splashed on a piece of white paper.
In just a few seconds, a distorted and irregular "black hole" appeared. It was like a door, oval in shape, about one person tall, with colorful stars flashing around the edges, extremely dazzling.
Ren also stared in amazement at the sudden appearance of the "black hole" channel, his scalp tingling, his right hand unconsciously clenched the pen, and he dared not move at all.
His eyes were wide open, as if he was staring into the abyss... He had no idea what he would see when he walked in.
"This is the Star Mark Door. One step inside will change your life." Huang Wei stood at the dark door and reminded softly.
"But why...?" Ren Ye suddenly looked at him and wanted to ask a question.
At this moment, a faint calling voice came from the abyss-like passage.
"The year of Guisi!"
"Renxu month!"
"Wushen Day!"
"Renxu time!"
"Heaven's pardon enters destiny - Ren Ye!"
"Please come in!!!"
Huh? What does that mean?! Ren Ye listened to the call and suddenly felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, his scalp tingled instantly.
This… this isn't… my date of birth, my birth date and time? Who is calling me?
Ren Ye listened to the ethereal shouting, his brain buzzed and his whole body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted.
"No one knows why it calls to you, but that is why we asked you to come."
Huang Wei's voice rang out.
