Chapter 47: s26
Chapter 211 I Will Not Die...
"You said... that guy dreamed about it?"
Half leaning against the back of a wooden chair, Kevin glanced at the two figures walking back and forth in the alley in the distance, and suddenly something occurred to him.
"Could it be…"
"It's a star core..."
Just as Kevin was about to speak, as if seeing through his inner thoughts, Walter suddenly took over.
Seeing that the other party had no unusual expression, Walter slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"It seems we think the same thing."
"Indeed." Kevin nodded. He didn't mind Walter's interruption. Instead, he praised, "That's what I thought of the first time. After all, you know what happened in Beloberg later."
"The inexplicable connection between star cores and star core particles, is this a nature or a characteristic of stars?" Walter thought, touching his chin.
Kevin spread his hands, seemingly not that concerned.
"Well... maybe both. After all, you and I have witnessed her uniqueness."
"Is that so..."
Walter pursed his lips slightly. With regard to Kevin's vague answer, he felt that the other party did not seem to want to discuss this aspect in detail.
In fact, Kevin knew more about star cores than Walter thought.
In most people's understanding of star cores, the rift created by the influence of the star core, this mysterious space seems to have some kind of interconnection, because the special products of the rift presented in common reality - relics and monsters.
At first, someone discovered that a planet that was affected by the core of a star and isolated from the outside world could find creatures and life forms from the outside world countless light years away in its rift. This couldn't help but cause people to think deeply, is there some unknown connection between the rifts and the outside worlds?
As a result, most people believe that there are unknown channels between the Rift Realms that can transmit information about the dead in them to each other. Some even believe that there has always been only one Rift Realm, but it was divided by an unknown force.
As for Kevin, when he first met Su, he learned from him that not only did the star cores have consciousness, but their consciousness was actually separated by only a layer of illusory "membrane".
Kevin naturally believed his best friend's words, for no reason, just because he was Su.
Even though he had hidden a lot of things from me, even though there were even lies mixed in...
"Heh…" Suddenly, Kevin laughed softly, and looking at Walter, he took the initiative to ask: "Actually, you want to know more about what I talked about with Su, right?"
"That's right." Walter answered frankly, but still touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "However, if it is inconvenient to disclose it, there is no need to force it."
Kevin shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned: "It's not something secret, it's just a coincidence before I checked the cocoon, and this time, he contacted me."
"So...what did you talk about?" Looking at Kevin, Walter asked directly.
Kevin did not rush to answer Walter's question directly, but took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
Then, he said cryptically: "In fact, since I returned to reality, Su has already started preparing for the crossing. I estimate that in a few hours, you will have a chance to meet them."
"So fast? Adrianne..."
Walter's face was full of surprise, but the next moment, he discovered the blind spot.
Staring at Kevin in disbelief, Walter said in surprise: "Wait, them?! Is it not just Su who came?"
"Hmm..." Kevin held his forehead with his hand, his tone vaguely uncertain, "That's exactly what I heard from him at the time, but..."
"But what?" Walter asked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.Kevin pursed his lips and finally said, "When he made the decision, I saw helplessness and entanglement in him, as if that person was not in his plan..."
"this..."
Walter was speechless. He had subconsciously thought that having one more person in the team would be a good thing.
Kevin seemed to see Walter's worry, and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much. I asked Su, and although he didn't directly say who that person was, he still revealed some information about the other party."
"So... who is that person?" Taking a deep breath, Walter asked cautiously.
Looking at Walter, Kevin shook his head, sighed lightly, and said leisurely: "He said that it was someone you and I both knew..."
"As for the rest, I have no idea."
Rubbing his temple helplessly, Kevin sincerely felt that Su was keeping him in suspense, but he had no evidence.
Hearing this, Walter couldn't help feeling ashamed at this moment. He sincerely suspected that Kevin was keeping it a secret, but he had no evidence.
Kevin stood up slowly while holding onto the table. He glanced at Walter casually, clapped his hands twice, and said in a deep voice: "In short, what we need to do now is to stabilize the current situation. Whether the subsequent events can proceed smoothly depends on whether the direction of all this deviates from the outcome we expect."
Walter nodded and said seriously: "I understand. Since you have already planned this step, then the risk assessment of Adlifen's trip this time..."
"Risk assessment?" Kevin frowned in confusion. After thinking for a while, he said, "Based on the information we currently have, it is impossible to assess whether this trip will be a good or bad one."
Folding his hands in front of his chest, Kevin said quietly: "Of course, I have not completely considered it. During the discussion with Su, he and I made an assumption."
"Suppose? What suppose?"
Walter once again concocted a cup of hot tea and drank it all, as if trying to suppress his inner uneasiness.
Sure enough, before he could even swallow the tea, Kevin raised a finger and said, "Suppose we encounter a genuine Star God this time, or even more than one Star God."
"puff--!!!"Strong tea mixed with saliva spurted out of Walter's mouth and splashed directly towards Kevin opposite him, but before it touched the corner of his clothes, it was frozen in mid-air by an invisible chill.
"Are you afraid that you will die?" Kevin asked mercilessly, looking at Walter.
Walter subconsciously pressed his eyes, but still glanced away inadvertently. He coughed twice and explained: "It's just too shocking. I can't imagine...such a scene..."
But Kevin still said to himself: "Don't worry, since you are willing to be with me, I will ensure your safety."
"Well, okay..." Seeing the other party so serious, Walter had to accept the offer, but he still asked curiously, "Since you regard the Star God as an imaginary enemy, what about you?"
"I...?" Kevin pointed at himself in surprise, then he chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't die..."
As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand and waved it lightly in the air. The weak air current that was subtly arranged in the conversation room around him instantly dissipated, and the quiet environment suddenly became a lot noisier.
"What's wrong?"
Walter looked at Kevin with some confusion.
Kevin glanced sideways and whispered, "Our small talk ends here. Next, it's time to welcome a guest."
Listening to Kevin's mysterious words, Walter also turned his head.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Along with the faint sound of footsteps, a white-haired woman slowly walked towards the alley not far away.
The black veil embroidered with a waning moon covered her eyes...Chapter 212 How did they kill abundance?
His hair, as soft as fine snow, fluttered in the wind. Even though his eyes were covered by a black veil, the murderous intent in his eyes was still faintly visible, and a glacial chill surrounded his body.
However, the moon carved on its abdomen, which alternately waxes and wanes, appears extremely quiet and strange at this moment.
Walter looked at the long-haired woman carefully, his gaze condensed, and the Star of Eden staff instantly appeared in his hand.
During the previous trip to Liuyundu, Walter had been using his spatial ability to change the terrain, just to find an opportunity to separate everyone from the Rakshasa. During that time, he felt the secret gaze of another person.
Walter clearly remembered that it was a look full of coldness.
However, at that time, all his energy was focused on Rakshasa, and the look on his face seemed to have no intention of taking any action. Even if he had noticed something, he did not pay any attention to the person hiding in the dark.
After the battle ended and he reunited with Heng, Walter learned from him that when they were attacked, a woman with long hair covering her eyes seemed to have a close connection with Heng's past.
Walter didn't think it was a match for the sudden appearance of the long-haired woman: "Are you... the one from Liuyundu...?"
"Well… you seem to still remember me…" Facing Walter's suspicion, the woman with long hair had no intention of hiding it, but admitted it openly.
"What is your relationship with Luosha?" Staring at the other party, Walter went straight to the point.
At that time, he clearly felt that the gaze was not only directed at everyone, but more at that person - Rakshasa.
Walter didn't think it was an illusion, but even if it was an illusion, he was unwilling to ignore anyone or anything that might be related to Rakshasa.
Hearing this, the fringe-haired woman did not answer, but walked forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"I know what you want to ask, but I just had some transactions with this wandering merchant. I don't know anything about him." Facing Walter, the long-haired woman asked bluntly.
Walter was not satisfied with the answer of the frizzy-haired woman. In his opinion, the other party was not telling the truth.
"Really? Then I can only regretfully tell you that Luosha is already in the Prison of Hell. I'm afraid your transaction with him will also be carried out in the Prison of Hell..."
As he spoke, Walter gripped the handle of the cane tightly with his five fingers.
In an instant, the sky and the earth began to become extremely dark, and a solemn atmosphere spread between the two of them, as if the dome of the cave was about to collapse in the next moment.
Other people nearby did not seem to notice this change.
"Space…?" The woman with long hair muttered to herself calmly as she looked around at the changes in her surroundings.
At the same time, the cold air surrounding his body stabbed out like a sharp blade, and a giant sword made of ice emerged in the air.
Bang——
The cold air exploded in the air, freezing the changing space directly.
Seeing this, Walter couldn't help but frowned.Of course, just as Heng said, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, and the swordsmanship that can even freeze space...
And her breath...
"Stop it, Walter, she has no intention of being our enemy."
Seeing that the situation was about to become tense, Kevin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Feeling the chilling aura around him, Kevin's eyes flashed with cold light.
As if she had noticed something, the woman with long hair paused for a moment and slowly turned her head to face Kevin.
"you..."
But before she could utter a word, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, much more fiercely than before, and dark red light floated around her body.
The woman with shaggy hair subconsciously covered her forehead, feeling as if her inner thoughts were being seen by the other person.
At this time, a calm voice was heard.
"Although I don't know what method you used to keep your consciousness clear even when you are on the edge of the devil's Yin, I have to admit that your will is far superior to that of ordinary people."
Looking at the woman with long hair, Kevin's eyes glowed red.
With one hand on the table, Kevin leaned forward, leaned close to the other person's ear, and whispered: "Jingliu, right?"
"You know the art of reading minds...?" Even though her identity was revealed by the other party, Jing Liu did not rush to take action. Instead, she was extremely calm, as if she had no intention of fighting with the two from the beginning.
"The art of reading minds... You can indeed think so." Kevin pulled out a chair casually and sat down. Looking at the other person, he asked knowingly, "Former Sword Master, one of the Five Heroes on the Cloud, you are passing by the Dingsi, are you going to keep an appointment?"
Exhaling lightly, Jing Liu said calmly: "Since you already know it, why ask again?"
Lifting his index finger, Kevin denied: "You misunderstood. I have no intention of interfering with your agreement. On the contrary, I hope you will not show mercy."
"Why for him...?" Jing Liu seemed to have thought of something and looked a little confused.
Knocking on the table, Kevin looked at Jing Liu and asked him, "You have been secretly observing us for so long, isn't it just for the sake of perseverance?"
"㫡恒?"
Walter was a little surprised. It sounded as if Kevin had known about Xu Heng's movements and situation for a long time.
"Heh...you asked me to show no mercy, are you really thinking about him?" With a sneer, there was a hint of anger in Jingliu's tone.
Folding his hands in front of his chest, Kevin said noncommittally: "I respect all his choices, but out of selfishness, I hope that he will not stand in that person's shadow in the future."Chapter 213: Similar individuals are just similar individuals after all
"You said... their target is actually the Star God, or even not just the Star God?"
Looking at Kevin, Walter carefully thought about the little information he had obtained from Jingliu.
Seeing that the other party nodded without changing his expression, Walter took a deep breath, held his forehead with some distress, and sighed: "Damn, none of the guys with that face are simple."
"Maybe..."
Kevin leaned back in his chair and spread his hands casually. In his opinion, one should judge a person by his appearance when dealing with that guy.
"So, what exactly are they trying to do to bring abundance to death?"
Adjusting his glasses, Walter frowned slightly.
So far, humans still have only a limited understanding of Star Gods and destiny. Countless people have devoted all their efforts but have never been able to find the truth in their entire lives. Even the geniuses in the Genius Club are only searching for the truth in a simulated universe.
As for Luosha and his men, their target was directly set on the real Star God, and they tried to kill him. If ordinary people saw it, they might ridicule their idea as simply wishful thinking, but Walter did not think so.
He didn't know where the sense of trust came from, but he always felt that face could really do it.
Subconsciously glancing at Kevin, Walter suddenly hesitated again. The person opposite seemed to have had the same idea. These two people are really exactly the same...
Noticing Walter's gaze, Kevin didn't care how this guy's thoughts were flying, but answered the other party's questions just now.
Kevin raised his hand and knocked on the table. He said slowly: "In fact, according to their plan, even if you don't catch Luosha, they will fall into the trap in the end, because everything that is happening in Luofu is just a stepping stone for them. That's why..."
"You'll just let her go...?"
Walter took over the conversation calmly. He finally understood why Kevin let the woman go, because the final destination was the prison.
"But..." Walter raised his hand to make a pot of hot tea and poured himself a cup. "You said Luofu is just a stepping stone for them, so where do they plan to go next?"
Facing Walter's question, Kevin did not answer immediately, but raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, and the tea that Walter had just poured fell into his hand instantly.
Seeing Walter's mouth twitching slightly, Kevin took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Xu Ling..."
"Why?"
Walter continued to pour the tea with a slight pause. He didn't understand that the two people had gone through so many twists and turns just to reach another fairy boat.
"According to the pardon order issued by the Ten Kings of the Xianzhou Alliance, the law will not allow them to be simply left in Luofu, so their interrogation will be decided at the alliance level." Kevin replied calmly, but his tone was a little solemn, "What they want is the general in front of us, or even the commander-in-chief of the Xianzhou..."
"That handsome guy... Hua..."
As if he had guessed something, Walter raised his eyes and looked at Kevin opposite him, but saw that there was no fluctuation on the other's face.
"Are you expecting my reaction?" Kevin asked back, holding his chin with one hand, as if he had seen through Walter's thoughts.
"Well..."
Walter touched his nose. He felt like a peeled onion, with tears in his eyes.
"I know what you're thinking, Walter." Kevin looked at the other person calmly, "You and I both know that person is not the one in our seal. At present, I am just interested in him."
In Kevin's view, similar individuals are, after all, just similar individuals, and they try to use them to replace familiar people and find a little spiritual comfort.
That's not childishness, that's fragility.What's more, the Hua that he knew now, no, Fu Hua, already had her own future.
As for the commander of the Immortal Boat, even if Kevin asked Jing Ye to find an opportunity for him to meet him, it was just out of interest.
Compared to this, he has more important things to do.
"Ahem." After coughing twice, Walter returned to the topic and asked, "Now that we know their plan, should we do something?"
"Do you know? I don't think so. At least the information I have is still incomplete."
Kevin shook his head and explained, "When I briefly explored the woman's consciousness, I found that her consciousness was clearly about to collapse like a ruined wall. It seemed to have exceeded the limit of the demonic body but still did not collapse..."
"As I continued to examine her, I saw a pair of dark hands behind her consciousness. I think it was these hands that held her back from collapse. It was also because of these hands that they locked up most of her memories and emotions. So far, I have not checked any further."
"Why?" Walter asked in confusion. With Kevin's current consciousness power, it would not be difficult for him to continue to explore the lower part, unless...
Sure enough, Kevin's next sentence confirmed Walter's guess.
"Because I suspect there is someone else behind her, and I don't want to get involved..."
Looking back at the scene at that time, Kevin was clear that he actually had the opportunity to break through the obstruction of those hands and forcibly explore the information, but he did not do so, because if he was noticed by the person behind the scenes, it would be hard to say whether he would be passively involved in the matter in the future.
Now he is already under the sight of several Star Gods. He has no idea whether a Star God-level being will appear during the trip to Adlifen in the near future. But at least he has not noticed the gaze from Feng Tao yet.
If we are forced to get involved in a "rich to death" situation now, we will probably end up with something fishy.
"It's not that I don't care, it's just that the time has not come yet." Kevin raised his fingers and tapped the table with a serious face. "Just because I don't care doesn't mean Jing Ye doesn't care. As a general of Luofu, it's impossible for him not to take some countermeasures."
"Is that so... It seems that I really didn't think enough..."
Hearing this, Walter rubbed his temples, and felt that the matter was more complicated.
He also understood Kevin's concerns and wanted to mind his own business so as to deal with his own troubles first.But the other party's next sentence made him unable to hold back.
Spreading his hands, Kevin continued, "However, altChapter 215: 嫡冯 or 嫡恒?
In the Linyuan Realm, there is the Xianlong Dayu Palace.
The former glory of the Chiming tribe is now shrouded in dark clouds. On the ruined hall, the murals printed on the towering stone walls on both sides are only left with some traces of the passage of time.
"Let's go..." Jing Yuan said slowly after letting out a sigh of relief.
"snort..."
Holding the Zhili sword in both hands, the blade brushed past Jing Yuan, and he rushed forward one step ahead, finally finding a corner to stop, closing his eyes and waiting for someone to come.
Coo-coo-coo
Following Jingyuan, Yanqing looked around. He felt that the cries of seabirds flying in the sky did not bring any hope to this dilapidated scene. Instead, it made this place seem particularly lonely.
He walked up the stairs in silence, looking at the center of the hall, at the statue of the dragon holding a spear and stepping on the waves, Heng's eyes were full of disappointment.
Even though the statue has long been weathered by wind and rain, it still gives people a feeling of brilliance, as if the person on the statue has never left.
Looking up at the dragon statue in front of him, Yan Qing, who was here for the first time, suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to look at Heng, who was standing beside him in a daze.
"How does this statue look like..."
"They are slightly similar. If I must say, the appearances of the Dragon Lords of all generations are indeed similar. It's just that the current one is a little special..."
Glancing at Yan Qing, Jing Yuan explained, "The one standing here now is the Dragon Lord Yubie, who covered the Scaled Abyss Realm in order to seal Jianmu in the early days of the alliance."
"The ninetieth generation of Luofu Chiming Dragon Lord?" Touching his chin, Yan Qing recalled the records he had read before and said uncertainly.
Jing Yuan nodded slightly: "Back then, in order to repay the kindness of the Immortal Boat for taking him in, Long Zun Yubie arbitrarily sacrificed the Scale Abyss Realm and suppressed the Xuangen of the Rich Jianmu with his immortal power. As a result, this rich miracle could remain silent for so long..."
"But in fact, Yubie's decision caused great dissatisfaction and confusion among most of the Chiming people. This move, which was a righteous move for the alliance, was regarded as a betrayal by the people..."
At this moment, Heng, who had been silent, suddenly took over the conversation, and his originally cold eyes now showed a hint of complexity.
"Of course..." Hearing this, Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Heng, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "The forced scale removal that was carried out on Xiao Feng was only halfway completed. Perhaps this is what the dragon masters want to see."
Back then, because of the Yinyue Chaos, 嫡枫 was forced to perform the Dragon Lord's scale-shedding ceremony. The dragon masters played a trick and only performed half of it, in order to save the magic method of transforming into a dragon in 嫡冯's mind. As a result, 嫡恒 was born.
But Jing Yuan did not do as Master Long wished. At least after he was born, he had been kept in the prison, not giving any chance to those with ulterior motives. In the end, he even exiled Heng directly.
Yan Qing heard the hidden meaning in Jing Yuan's words. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Heng with some doubt, and said in a surprised tone: "From what the general said... could it be that Teacher Xiao Heng has regained his past memories?!"
Before Jingyuan could answer, Heng shook his head first.
He raised his hand to support his forehead, and a few twists and turns appeared on his face: "No, just some fragments..."
With his hands folded in front of his chest, Jing Yuan nodded slightly: "At least now that you have come here, your memory has loosened a little, which is a good thing."
"Is it good news..." Suddenly, Zhang Heng glanced at Jing Yuan and asked directly, "It sounds like General Jing Yuan is looking forward to my recalling the memories of my previous life. Why?"
"Why...?" Jing Yuan pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes, and let out a long sigh, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Looking at Heng, he chuckled unabashedly and said, "Nothing else, it's all for the Immortal Boat."
"General..."
Yanqing tugged at the corner of Jingyuan's clothes, but the other party just smiled back at him with reassurance.No problem."
"…"
Yan Qing nodded, but finally said nothing.
No problem? Is it really okay? The hands clenched tightly behind her back were clearly trembling...
...
At the same time, not far away in the air, three people were hiding in the air and watching what was happening below.
"I never thought that a dignified general of Luofu and a hunting envoy would have no choice." Sitting on Jiemie, the virtual data projection of Silver Wolf crossed his legs, held his chin, and commented on him with a look of watching a show.
"Status, fame, wealth, power... these things are accompanied by shackles when you obtain them. The position of general, the hunting envoy, some choices are only made at first glance, but in fact, there is no choice from the beginning." Kafka said boredly at the side.
Hearing this, Silver Wolf spread his hands and said, "So, I don't even want this position. I really don't understand why Taibu Si is so committed to being a general."
Xiao Tianhuo curled her lips. This guy was talking without any hesitation, as if she could be the boss.
"What about you? Put aside your identity as a hacker and a star core hunter, what else do you have left?" Looking at the Silver Wolf, Xiao Tianhuo asked.
"I..."
Silver Wolf was stumped by the question. She couldn't give an answer, or perhaps, from the very beginning, she never thought that this question would fall on her.
If she wasn't a hacker, she might still be in that converted arcade in the basement, rubbing the joystick, and in the end she would never be able to complete the "game" called the basement, nor would she be able to experience other "games" again.
If she was not a star core hunter, if that man, that woman, that tin man, and... had not found me, how would I have been able to complete the "game" called Punk Lord?
What if... What if...
"There are no ifs and ifs. Some things just happen!" Staring at Xiao Tianhuo, Silver Wolf suddenly said seriously.
With a slight smile on his face, Xiao Tianhuo asked back: "Really? Do you think this is your own choice, or is it a destiny set by the game program?"
Faced with Xiao Tianhuo's tricky questions, Silver Wolf gritted his teeth and began to think seriously.
In the past, she still believed in the destiny contained in Elio's script, but now the reality is very different from the script, which makes her begin to feel unsure.
For some things, are they due to personal decision or fate?
Just as Silver Wolf was lost in thought, Kafka's voice suddenly brought her back to reality.
"She's already landed." Kafka said, pointing to a starship anchored at the edge of the beach not far below.
Hearing the sound, people looked in the direction of the finger, and saw a long-haired woman walking slowly on the beach. A black veil covered her eyes, but it did not affect her steady steps at all.
However, judging from her sometimes fast and sometimes slow pace, I wonder if she wants this road to be longer or shorter?
...
In the Xianlong Dayu Hall, next to the statue of Longzun, Dan Heng looked at Jing Yuan and spoke slowly.
"In that case, General, do you want me to be Dan Feng or Dan Heng?"
Jing Yuan pursed his lips and said quietly: "You call me General, so as a general, I hope you can become Dan Feng, or rather, now you have to become Dan Feng temporarily..."
