Planner of Age of Heroes

The woman in the red dress patted the boy who looked like a machine, and a smile appeared on her face. "You are indeed the perfect combination of machine and human brain. The combination of the weirdness at the beginning and you is simply one of our wisest choices."

Perhaps this child can no longer be called a human being. It might be more appropriate to call him an abnormality in human skin, just like the Chimera before, except that this child is a more fully human being that combines the human body and those supernatural beings. Humans today have no way to contend with this kind of abnormal existence.

Unless humans can create a super AI that they themselves cannot even imagine, it is uncertain whether the super AI at that time can continue to stand on the side of humans. Humans will basically not agree to such an uncontrollable existence to come into this world. After all, once a weakness is set for the super AI, it means that anomalies can also be controlled.

No matter how you look at it, this is a false proposition. Fortunately, most of the anomalies that appear on the Internet today can be resolved. A small number of them can be blocked or trapped in a mobile hard drive by using layers of programs, which is also feasible.

This young boy among the Phantom Thieves is an indispensable factor in the repeated success of the Phantom Thieves. If he were not unable to hold on for too long, this young man would be the god of the online world.

The clown was playing with the small cube in his hand. After hearing the sound of the plane gradually leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, their pressure was much less.

"Okay, now I finally have time to check the prophecy. Let me borrow your network."

The clown took out a mobile phone from his pocket, then took out a data cable and plugged one end into the phone, and stuffed the other end into the boy's mouth. The boy sighed, and a data cable interface appeared on his tongue. He connected the data cable to his body, and at the same time closed his eyes and hacked into the network.

Then the content on the Internet appeared in front of the eyes of the clown and the woman in red. After seeing the content of the video, the clown showed a strange expression on his face. Why couldn't any of them sense the breath of life today? And no matter how he looked at it, his employer didn't seem like someone who would be easy to deal with.

Do they really need to continue completing their deliveries?

Just as they were thinking this, the cell phone rang again. It was the number that their employer had been calling them from. It was as if the number had hit what they were thinking, so the employer called directly to stop them from giving up.

The clown narrowed his eyes, his face full of melancholy. Judging from the videos on the Internet and their current personal experiences, their employer was no ordinary person. After thinking for a moment, the clown answered the phone.

"You have got the goods, deliver them to the destination as soon as possible. I don't care what you think now, but you all carry my curse. If you don't complete this transaction, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth. For my long-cherished wish and for your money, I think it's better for us to complete the transaction."

The Joker showed a headache on his face, but finally nodded. Although his face was a bit headache, his tone was still very cheerful, "Don't worry, the transaction will definitely continue. We Phantom Thieves are very particular about professional ethics."

"That's the best. I know what you're thinking. You can tell me how scared and concerned you are about me, and I'll just laugh at you."

The call was hung up immediately after he finished speaking. The Joker squeezed the phone casing until it creaked, but in the end he didn't use all his strength to break it. Wasn't that just a joke? It didn't matter. They were thick-skinned thieves, and the so-called curse did worry him. They really took on a very troublesome order this time.

"Speed ​​up! When we get to the target location, we'll put the stuff down and leave. Let them fight each other then. We've already exceeded our target this time. After we finish this order, we must take a break for a year or so..."

Rarely, the Joker sounded extremely tired.

--------

There's a power outage and no internet. My laptop can only last for an hour. I'll post two updates first. If the power is restored, I'll update another one. Otherwise, there may be two updates tomorrow. I'm covering my face. There was no notification about the power outage.

Chapter 40: The Possibility of Humans Becoming Abnormal

In the past, they always laughed at others for accidentally getting involved in very complicated commissions, but this time they themselves were the ones to be caught in the crossfire, and they were very unhappy.

From time to time, an idea flashed through the clown's mind, perhaps all their previous good luck had been used up, and all their bad luck had accumulated in this action.

"Remember, put your things down, take our reward, and turn around and leave."

The clown looked at the dark clouds that were already faintly visible in the sky in the distance, and once again warned his companions that this matter was obviously more troublesome than they had imagined. At this point, although his words were still so frivolous, the clown was indeed feeling a little scared in his heart.

Who would choose to embrace death while still being alive these days?

No one has figured out the rules of the birth of abnormal creatures, and no one knows how to become an abnormal creature after death. The only way to continue enjoying life is to stay alive. In fact, there are other reasons why most high-level psychics choose to join official organizations.

In order to improve their abilities, people with special abilities need to absorb the special power that remains after an abnormal event. The more power they absorb, the more likely even humans will be affected. Only the official has the means to suppress these abnormal influences, thereby ensuring a person's basic humanity. Of course, the impact on some people is not that serious, so they naturally will not join the official organization.

It's like the clown has no way of expressing his inner fear and negative emotions through his mouth. Even though his brain is constantly telling himself to be more serious and calm, his body still appears so frivolous.

Not to mention the boy who is like a robot. His abilities are the result of fusion with the so-called anomaly. Rather than being a human, he is more like a robot with human memories and partial human personality. He can be considered an abnormal creature.

The uncle who can sense life force, his eyes were atrophied due to the side effects of his enhanced ability, and he was finally forced to remove his eyes.

Chris's ability level is not very high, so the negative states he has acquired can basically be regarded as non-existent. However, as his ability level increases, negative situations will eventually appear vaguely. If he loses his sense of smell or has some less important emotions, perhaps he can continue to act as a freelance detective.

If the negative situation is serious, this popular detective on the Internet may have to work for the police and get ways to suppress the negative situation from the authorities.

Zhao Ruonan's carefree personality can even be described as impulsive, which can be regarded as a side effect of her improved abilities. However, this side effect is not so serious as to affect her life. This is also thanks to the special suppression methods mastered by the special operations forces.

Xia Yan was not very clear about these things. After all, a lot of information was official secrets. Although Xia Yan's sister served as a soldier in the special operations forces, it did not mean that some information could be disclosed to family members at will.

However, it is precisely based on this situation that many people have begun to study the connection between people with special abilities and abnormal life forms. In the end, many people have come to the conclusion that people with special abilities can actually transform into abnormal life forms under certain specific circumstances. This specific situation may be death or something else.

The higher the level of the ability user, the greater the possibility of successful transformation, and the more powerful the abnormal life form they become.

As a thief, the Joker and his gang have obtained a lot of relevant information, but these research theories are only theories and guesses after all. It is so difficult to implement them. You can't use human bodies for experiments, right?

Of course, some countries that say this must be conducting related research behind the scenes. After all, if they reverse this research, it may be possible to find a way to directly turn ordinary people into people with powerful abilities.

However, these speculations have nothing to do with this incident for the time being.

The Joker only wants to make sure of one thing, and that is to keep the members of his team alive. Although his words and actions are extremely light, he still understands the importance of teamwork. Only by acting together with his companions around him can he succeed again and again.

Without these companions, he would just be a first-rate Phantom Thief, and would never become one of the top Phantom Thieves, and there would definitely not be a top Phantom Thief group like them!

Behind this team of phantom thieves, the Egyptian chariots are moving forward continuously.

As her own strength gradually recovered, the purple-haired girl continued to strengthen the chariot. At the same time, the recovery of the total amount of magic power prevented the chariot from being forced to stop halfway through the journey. The man who was as bright as the sun frowned after seeing the dark clouds gradually thickening in the sky.

"O Queen of the Sky, the world has changed a lot. Although it is different from the era I lived in, I can be sure that in my memory, there is no special building here. I will not forget the building that can cause such a celestial phenomenon. So I would like to ask, is this a building that existed in your era?"

The purple-haired girl clenched the staff in her hand. She could feel that the magical aura there was extremely similar to the treasure she held. Although she was somewhat incompetent as a pharaoh, during that time, she was indeed the queen who commanded Egypt and had a deep understanding of this land.

But this kind of building was not in her impression!

With such a strong atmosphere, it must be a temple dedicated to Osiris or Anubis. Judging from such large-scale changes in celestial phenomena, it is even possible that it is dedicated to the gods of the underworld. How could the pharaoh not know about such a huge temple that can trigger special celestial phenomena?

"No... In my impression, such a building does not exist. Even after experiencing wars and changes in the times, such a building would not be forgotten by the pharaohs at will!"

The man who looked like the sun frowned, "That is the existence that appeared in the era after me. Do you feel it? The Queen of the Sky. There is a breath of resentment in the wind. This is the reason why my companions who are nowhere to be found asked us to come here!"

The purple-haired girl slowly took off her white robe, revealing her dark skin and golden decorations, and her eyes gradually became firm.

------

I wrote a chapter in an internet cafe! Come on! Give me some money!

Chapter 41: Entering the ruins

Behind the Egyptian chariot, a sports car that had undergone Saudi adaptation modifications threw sand around it. Seeing the car's fuel consumption constantly increasing, Chris bit the gloves on his hands, with a melancholy expression on his face. So much fuel money... his wallet, which was not full yet, was going to be emptier, right?

Although I make a lot of money online, because of my own interests and hobbies as well as a slightly strong desire to buy, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a half-moonlight clan, so the money I have saved is not that much.

For this operation, the modification of the car took out a large part of his family fortune.

Chris sighed, and finally looked forward with a determined gaze. As long as he completed this theft, he would be able to gain a certain popularity on the Internet. The lost money should be able to be earned back within just a few months. For an individual detective like himself, life is still quite difficult.

Zhao Ruonan looked at the traces of frustration left in front of her, then looked at the remaining motorcycle gasoline and curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "Hey, do you have any backup gasoline prepared? Otherwise, the remaining gasoline may only be enough for us to reach our destination, and not enough for us to return."

At this time, Xia Yan finally caught up with the sports car, put his hand on the edge of the seat, and then climbed into the car.

"So I advise you to turn around and go back now! This is not something we can get involved in casually! The whole incident is very likely to develop into an S-level anomaly! Sister, you are just a B-level warrior and you can't handle this matter!"

Xia Yan's strength was still not used up at this moment, so his silver hair continued to spread back under the blowing of the evening breeze, revealing his eyes glowing with silver light. At this moment, he did not have the laziness of a otaku in his usual state, but added some unimaginable sharpness and seriousness.

After Zhao Ruonan turned around and saw her brother like this, the expression on her face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she whistled. It had been a long time since she had seen a brother like this.

"Xia Yan? Since you activated your ability to catch up? But if what you said is true, then I have to speed up when the two people in front catch up!"

As a member of the special operations forces, protecting others is an instinct engraved in her heart. Precisely because of this, after learning that she might not be able to handle this matter, her goal shifted to bringing back the two people who had left before. If I remember correctly, the man's title seemed to be the Glorious Sun?

Xia Yan sighed directly, with a helpless look on his face, "You don't need to worry about those two people, they are beyond human existence!"

Zhao Ruonan raised her eyebrows, "How did you know?"

Xia Yan realized that she seemed to have let something slip, then took a deep breath and closed her mouth without saying anything else. After seeing the condition of her cousin, the female man showed a faint smile on her face, "I am very grateful that you came here to inform me of the danger of this matter, but ah, there are some things I must do."

Zhao Ruonan's eyes were filled with seriousness. "My heart is guiding me in the direction of progress. If I don't do this, I will feel guilty."

Xia Yan looked at the serious eyes of the female man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he turned his head and looked at Wen Shu beside him, "I didn't expect you to be willing to accompany my sister to play such nonsense. I'm sorry for involving you."

Liu Xiu looked at the determined young man in front of her with a smile on her face. She didn't hate this occasional severity, which reminded her of her brother in the past. However, she was a little surprised that the young man in front of her could actually discover the identities of the two people in front of him.

As a heroic spirit, Liu Xiu could certainly vaguely feel the physical condition of the two pharaohs.

So how did the boy know this?

This boy really created unexpected "surprises" for her time and time again, but she didn't hate this kind of life. She took out a can of Coke from her pocket and stuffed it into Xia Yan's hand, "I'm not as fragile as you think, so don't worry, not to mention it seems a little too late to leave now."

There was thunder in the sky, and the wind around carried an unimaginable chill that penetrated the bones. The faint breath made the hairs on Xia Yan's neck stand up.

He sighed and drank the Coke in one gulp, hoping that this incident wouldn't become a big deal.

At the front, vehicles on the outside road have entered a place that looks like a man-made canyon. The stone platforms standing on both sides have some traces of artificial carving, and you can also see the marks left by time on them. This is definitely an ancient relic.

The vehicle continued to move forward, passing through the accumulated gravel, and occasionally one could see something hidden under the sand. Those clothes that looked a bit old, although they looked very old, were actually official uniforms that had only been distributed in recent years. Apparently, there seemed to be a lot of forgotten corpses hidden under this land.

According to the news I saw before, these corpses were most likely sent by the authorities to protect and study the ruins. But in such a short period of time, why did these people become like this? Why was the abnormality here not reported to the higher-ups? Everything revealed a sense of weirdness and deliberateness.

The man wearing the clown mask was still playing with the small box in his hand, but his eyes were already a little more vigilant. He asked his companion, "How is it? Do you feel anything unusual?"

The woman in the red dress rubbed her arms, which were covered with goose bumps. "Doesn't this place reveal abnormalities everywhere?"

The boy, who looked like a robot, put his hands on his eyes. It was as if there were streams of light and data flashing across his eyes. He then put his hands away. "Based on the scan, we can preliminarily infer that all these dead people died of old age. Some even showed signs of mummification."

A drop of cold sweat fell on the head of the uncle who could feel the vitality. Now he still couldn't feel what kind of life there was here, "I have a bad feeling..."

No, to be precise, everyone present had this unpleasant feeling.

The upper end of the entire canyon gradually closed, but the road still led underground. Burning torches and exquisite murals appeared on the walls. These murals depicted the rise and fall of the land of Egypt, from the ancient Scorpion King to the man who founded the first dynasty, and then to the queen who fascinated Caesar.

What is the significance of carving these here?

Chapter 42: Please keep these ghost money~

The Joker did not have any in-depth research on the significance of the mural carvings. Apart from being able to tell that the carvings here were about the rise and fall of the ancient Egyptian dynasties, he could only feel the faint unwillingness revealed in every stroke, every cut, and every moment.

As you go deeper the carvings on the walls begin to change.

That is the scene of entering the underworld, but these scenes are slightly different, because in this scene, no protagonist walks into the judgment. Instead, the gods and stories carved on it appear to be more and more broken, as if this mythical world begins to disappear with the demise of some existence.

The clown's eyes narrowed. He roughly understood what the painting depicted. This was simply the end of the destruction of the entire ancient Egyptian civilization. After this, there would be no successor to ancient Egypt.

After passing through the passage, the view suddenly opened up to a huge square. There was some dust on the square, covering some dried corpses. The flames made the place as bright as day, but did not bring any warmth. There were mummy coffins one after another on the surrounding staircase-like buildings, as if they were enshrining something.

On the top of the highest steps, there are sculptures of underworld gods one after another. As for the surroundings, they are covered by yellow sand and shrouded in darkness and cannot be seen clearly. There is something in other places except this square. Intuition tells the clown not to explore the existence in the darkness, otherwise, he will not be able to leave here.

The clown took out all the boxes from his pockets, and then placed them on the ground. One mummy after another, as well as artifacts related to the king appeared on the ground.

The clown opened his arms and shouted to the invisible position on the platform, "I have delivered all the goods as agreed. Where is our reward?"

The sound of something hitting the ground seemed to echo throughout the square. A wooden box slowly rose from the yellow sand. The clown hesitated for a few seconds, put his hand on the wooden box and opened it. The box should contain their reward, but the things in the box made the clown's face full of anger.

These are not gold, silver, or treasures, nor are they US dollars or euros, but rather pieces of ghost money, although these pieces of ghost money are shaped like US dollars.

If it is not for living people to use, then it is not for living people to use. These things are worthless to living people!

"What on earth do you mean?"

The Joker looked towards the platform. He was very afraid of his employer, but that didn't mean he was easy to bully. To be able to become one of the most famous and successful thief teams in the world, their methods were definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

From the platform, there was the sound of high heels hitting the ground. A person wearing golden high heels and ancient Egyptian clothes but with a European and American face slowly walked out. The Joker recognized this face; she was the favorite disciple of a certain archaeologist. But it was obvious that the woman in front of him was not her.

At least the soul and essence are no longer there, because those eyes are now filled with indifference and greed.

"What do you mean? This money is specially prepared for you, and you will be able to use it soon. I didn't expect that after such a long time, people's living habits have changed so much.

Do you know how much energy I spent to create these coins used by the dead from scratch? Now accept them with gratitude!

Do you think I would let you live after you stole Pharaoh's body? This is a capital crime. As the last high priest of Egypt, I will never allow others to violate Pharaoh's majesty even though the world has changed over the long years!

The glory and light of Egypt will shine again on this land!

Your lives will become the sacrifice for the Pharaohs to return to this world. Repent and atone for your deeds, sinners! "

The woman with Egyptian makeup on her face and wearing priest's clothes spoke with a strong murderous intent and raised the staff in her hand.

The clown took out a dagger from his pocket. Now was not the time to argue with the guy in front of him. He had to accept the loss this time and was ready to teach him a lesson. "Let's go!"

Before anyone could take action, the surrounding sand emerged from the ground and covered the SUV. If the three people in the vehicle had not acted quickly, they would have been turned into a handful of meat paste under the sand by now.

However, after hitting the car, the sand did not stop its movement. Part of it continued to chase the people, and part of it directly blocked the retreat route. The woman in the red dress looked at her hands and screamed. Wrinkles gradually appeared on her hands at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After hearing the scream, the clown turned around and looked at his companions. Not only the woman in the red dress, but also the others showed signs of aging. His own body seemed to be gradually becoming weak. If nothing unexpected happened, his body should be aging as quickly as his companions.

However, the existence of the young boy is a little different. After one part of his body has aged, the other part is still like a young boy. The mechanized part of his body allows him to save his life in such a situation, but only one part of his body can move, and the aging of his joints has made him lose the ability to move.
