Higher life forms.
Destiny Realm.
Mechanical City.
Alchemy.
And the next step of obtaining limbs, mysticism exploration, and so on.
Lying in bed, Han Dong's mind was filled with these thoughts. Unknowingly, several hours passed, and he only fell asleep around three or four o 'clock in the morning.
As a researcher, he was very fond of, and could even be said to be obsessed with, new things.
After understanding the general pattern of the world, he couldn't wait to go to the Knight Academy to learn more about things and new things that he couldn't touch in the original world.
Because he slept too late, he didn't know when he slept … until he was awakened by the quarrel outside the door.
"What's so noisy?"
Han Dong stretched his body and eavesdropped on the bedroom door.
He heard a few keywords, 'compulsory conscription' and 'tax collection'.
"Compulsory conscription should be forcing young people to enter the destiny realm … through a large number of people in exchange for a small number of 'returnees'.
Yesterday, Nina just said that because I became a returnee, she could avoid the compulsory conscription. It seems that the people in the civilian area are not well-informed. "
Han Dong opened the door and went out.
He saw two security officers wearing dark linen suits with five-pointed star badges on their chests. They were asking Nina to put on a clockwork device for countdown.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing Han Dong's voice.
The two men, one fat and one tall, looked at Han Dong doubtfully. They stared at Han Dong's skinny body. The fatter man immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, you are a 'returnee'? … How can you survive in the destiny realm with this kind of physical fitness? Stop joking! "
The other thin and tall man's eyes were sharp and saw the clockwork device on Han Dong's wrist at a glance.
"Huh!? Wearing a time device … You dare to disobey the order of the council and didn't participate in the last destiny realm! "
In their view, the elites who could become 'returnees' generally didn't come from the civilian area, let alone a young man who lived in such a poor environment due to malnutrition.
Therefore, Han Dong's clockwork device was immediately regarded as a fugitive who was afraid of death and didn't want to participate in the destiny realm.
According to the charter set by the Parliament, those who escaped would be deprived of their rights for life, sold as slaves, used as human bait for the Knights, or executed directly.
The two of them pushed Nina and her mother aside and took out a simple iron bracelet, intending to tie Han Dong up and take him away.
"Let go of my brother …"
Nina tried her best to stop him.
"You're so annoying!" One of them lost his patience and was about to slap Nina.
In an instant, a gaze filled with killing intent was cast over.
Han Dong stretched out his bamboo-like arm and stopped the security officer's action.
Even though Han Dong's strength was pitifully small, he had a powerful will that originated from his brain.
Through their eyes and the contact of their palms, it was transmitted into the other party's body, causing the security officer to stop in fear.
"Nina, stay with Mom at home. I'll go with them and come back soon."
Han Dong smiled as if nothing had happened, just like when he had entered the Destiny Realm. This made Nina, who was on the verge of tears, calm down and support her mother to lean on the side.
Another fat public security officer sneered.
"You still want to come back? This isn't just your problem.
Once you're convicted of escaping, they'll be guilty of covering up for you! Your sister will probably be sold as a slave, right? Unfortunately, her skin color isn't very good, so she probably won't be able to sell for much money, haha. "
"Charles, why are you talking so much? Bring this kid back, and we'll get a generous bonus. "
The tall and thin public security officer easily broke free from Han Dong's grasp. He didn't take the moment of fear seriously and quickly locked Han Dong's hands with iron chains.
"Yeah … Let's go to Mona's Tavern tonight! I heard there's new stock there. "
The more they talked, the more excited they became. They grabbed Han Dong and walked to the local police station.
During the escort, a voice full of evil resentment echoed in Han Dong's mind.
"Do you want to kill them?!"
"No … I did it on purpose. It's a good opportunity to learn about the local public security management policy. Miss Chen Li, just have a good rest. I'll call you if there's any danger."
Han Dong felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect Chen Li to be so concerned about his situation.
During the escort.
The tall and thin public security officer who was stopped by Han Dong turned his head from time to time. He felt that Han Dong was a little strange … But they didn't receive any notice from the higher-ups.
Generally, if there were 'returnees' in the street area, the higher-ups would issue a notice and put the returnees and their families on a special list for special treatment.
[Samay Street Public Security Sub-Bureau]
"When the public security officer has something to do, you have to be careful in the cell with your body. Don't die."
Unlike ordinary detention centers, this public security sub-bureau's underground detention center wasn't divided into rooms. Instead, all the criminals were thrown together.
It was just a simple separation of men and women.
Although it wasn't fatal, there were many cases of detainees being carried out with serious injuries, especially those with serious injuries on their buttocks.
With Han Dong's physical fitness, he was at the bottom of the list no matter where he went.
As soon as he walked into the detention center, there was immediately a 'big brother' who was interested in the brown-haired and thin Han Dong.
In this way, the detention wouldn't be lonely for a few days.
…
Inside the public security sub-bureau.
The tall and thin public security officer said,
"Charles, where's the boss?
Why isn't he back yet? I'm afraid that this kid's body isn't good. If something happens to him after being bombarded by a few burly men, we won't have a bonus. "
"Don't worry, the guys below aren't idiots. They're just committing low-cost theft … It'll be different if someone dies. It'll be fine.
I heard that the boss was summoned to the 'higher-ups' early in the morning. He'll be back after he's done. "
This group of public security officers weren't capable people.
They were just a group of ordinary people from a middle-class family.
Due to a distant relative becoming a 'returnee,' they benefited from their good physiques and passed the low-level public security officer exam to obtain a proper job.
They had a stable income and weren't forced to be conscripted.
In terms of courage, they were even more cowardly and weren't willing to come into contact with the destiny realm.
An hour later.
The sound of horse hooves arrived at the entrance of the public security sub-bureau.
A middle-aged man wearing a tall hat, a black trench coat, and a silver emblem on his chest walked in.
"Constable Dace! When we were searching the residences today, we found a 'fugitive' locked up below. "
When the public security officer heard this, he was furious!
He looked down on fugitives who dared to violate the highest charter set by the Parliament and didn't participate in the destiny realm on time because of their cowardice.
If it was any other time, he would've immediately gone to the detention center, beaten this person up, and sent him to the local court.
But today's situation was a bit special.
When the public security officer entered, he had a happy smile on his face … He was called up at the last minute because of one thing.
There was a 'returnee' in the civilian area he was in charge of.
