Chapter 576: The Fog in Jiangcheng City (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
When the door was opened, Master Huang heard a deep voice, “Please come in!”
Hurriedly, he tidied his clothes and pushed the door open.
He saw a man who looked refined and extraordinary sitting on a chair in the office.
He looked to be at most forty years old and wore a black casual outfit. He seemed to be holding a document in his hand.
When he saw Huang Qin enter, he immediately stood up with a smile. “Are you Master Huang?”
“I am Li Shouyi!” He walked up to Huang Qin and stretched out his hand.
Huang Qin swallowed his saliva and hurriedly stretched out his hand.
The two hands were clasped together.
“Greetings, Eunuch Li!” Huang Qin said with incomparable reverence.
He naturally knew the identity of the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard.
Although he was the descendant of a righteous ancestor, he gave up his glory and wealth and devoted himself to the blackguard.
He had worked diligently for decades, building the purple-gold pillar of the Federal Empire!
Now, in the realm of nightmare, he had become an important figure.
The Blackguard had united all the nightmare game participants in the world.
He had formulated a code of conduct regarding the nightmare world.
Of all the transcendent beings, he was probably the best!
Such an important figure actually lowered his status and shook hands with him?
Huang Qin was so excited that he almost forgot to breathe.
“Please take a seat! “Li Shouyi said to Huang Qin with a smile.
“Yes!” Huang Qin subconsciously nodded and then carefully sat on the stool in front of the table.
Li Shouyi smiled and returned to his seat.
After he picked up the document on the table, he looked at Huang Qin, asking, “Master Huang, you entered the Western world from the nightmare world, right?”
Huang Qin nodded and said, “Yes, Master Li!”
“Um…” Li Shouyi took the document and carefully read it again.
Then, he asked, “Master Huang, are you sure you heard about the legend of the Amitabha Buddha from the Western World?”
“Yes!” Huang Qin nodded.
Li Shouyi’s eyebrows gradually furrowed, and his expression became serious.
In the past month or so, the center of gravity of the Blackguard had been completely focused on a parallel space-time earth.
He had personally taken the lead, with several generals leading the advance team. Assisted by the local officials of that world, they had already completed the initial construction of a base that was connected by the power of the realm of Nightmare on both sides.
Several thousand members of the Blackguard brought tens of thousands of extraordinaires into the base.
With the addition of this new force, the clean-up of the other world was progressing very smoothly.
Most of the land on the surface had been taken back by the cooperation of both sides.
In addition, both sides also conducted various exchanges.
It was mainly about the transcendent being.
The Blackguard, who used the principium of Dao as the foundation of the transcendent being, exchanged with the other party a set of spell cultivation system named Arcanist.
Unlike the principium of Dao, the arcanist system had the distinct color of land of Qin.
It was said that this system was derived from the civilization of Netheril.
According to the records, Netheril was extremely powerful when it was at its peak.
The great warriors among them had even relied on the terrifying arcane strength to imprison the gods, dissect the demons, and extract the souls of the demons for research.
They even boasted that the so-called gods were only slightly stronger arcanists!
Such arrogant words and actions naturally attracted dissatisfaction, according to the description of the earthlings from the parallel space-time.
The great warrior was the one who destroyed this powerful wizard civilization.
He enlightened a terrifying creature called magic sunflower, and the glorious arcanist civilization instantly fell apart.
As countless powerful floating-space cities fell, countless great arcanists died at the hands of the magic sunflower.
Except for a few great arcanists who fled to other worlds on floating-space cities.
The great warrior wrote the essence of the glorious arcanist civilization of Netheril into a book.
In the end, the book was obtained by the people of the parallel world from the hand of the supreme being in the fog.
Now, it became the basis of communication between both sides.
This alone benefited the blackguard immensely as the arcanists’ cultivation system was very complete.
With it, the Blackguard would have an additional way to cultivate.
Not to mention, the Grand Arcanists of Netheril were not only extraordinary in the path of transcendent being.
In other aspects, they also showed astonishing achievements.
Their floating-space city used floating magic circles.
The engine technology they used to enter and exit the void and the universe.
And the arcane energy used by the arcanists.
They were all treasure troves!
In addition, the parallel world was affected by the gravitational erosion of the Abyss and another strength.
In such a situation, many special spiritual creatures were born.
There was even an industrial cultivation system.
Naturally, the Blackguard would not let go of the opportunity to introduce them.
Upon paying a large amount of point certificate to the Nightmare Realm, the federal empire brought back a large number of spirit seeds from the parallel world.
Cerulean spirit tea, peaches of immortality, seven-star spirit grass… more than ten kinds of spirit creatures were introduced, and then planted in the spirit vein of Kunlun Mountain.
Therefore, during this time, Li Shouyi and the entire Federal Empire spent all their energy on strengthening their relationship with each other and studying the civilization and technology of arcanists.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that the backyard was on fire.
Jiangcheng city had been suffering from dense fog for more than a month, so he had no choice but to return to Earth from the parallel world.
After another investigation, even the westward travel world was in chaos!
This forced him to give up all the work at hand. He even delayed the agreement to go back into the abyss with the great warrior from the parallel world.
There was no other way!
This matter was of great importance!
What was the origin of the deity-less Buddha who traveled to the west? Li Shouyi was as clear as a mirror in his heart.
Although, it was not as if no one had entered the western world before.
During the research process of the false accusation plan, hundreds of people had entered the western world in their dreams.
Some people had reported that they had died there.
However, they were not affected in reality.
However, Huang Qin was very special.
What was special was that he had been sent in by that person.
More importantly, he could enter the realm repeatedly.
According to the report, he had even obtained a Tao technique from it.
This was something that had never happened before.
This was because the person in the false accusation plan had entered from a dream. Moreover, it was completely impossible to predict whether he would be able to enter or not.
Huang Qin was the first person who could enter repeatedly and travel to the west under the same identity.
After having the experience of parallel world, Li Shouyi and the Blackguard naturally knew the information contained in it.
Not to mention, there was a shadow from the world traveling to the west that was reflected in Jiangcheng city in the thick fog.
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi asked, “Master Huang, according to your report, there seems to be a drastic change in the world traveling to the West!”
“The immortals and Buddhas fell together…” he asked with a serious expression, “What exactly happened?”
Before Huang Qin came, he had already sorted out his train of thought. Now that he heard Li Shouyi, he immediately reported what he had seen and heard honestly.
During his journey to the west, all the monsters he had seen had undergone some indescribable changes.
Affected by some kind of terrible radiation, their bodies festered, distorted, and their vigor went berserk and split.
Many monsters had even lost their intelligence, leaving only their instinctive thirst for flesh and blood.
Only the powerful leaders of the monsters could stay awake.
However, the mortals on their journey to the west did not seem to be affected.
They were still leading normal lives.
However, this was not a good thing. Instead, it was a disaster.
Hades and judges had gone crazy.
Legend had it that even Ksitigarbha, the bodhisattva, fell into the river of forgetfulness and became evil.
As a result, the six paths of reincarnation became chaotic, and the Devil Rose and disappeared.
The lonely souls and wild ghosts wandered everywhere.
The evil ghosts and fierce souls occupied the mountains and became kings.
What was worse was that the land, mountain gods, Hebo, and Dragon King, who had once combed the mountains and rivers, had either gone crazy or fallen.
As a result, the heaven and earth were not functioning properly.
Earthquakes, floods, and droughts came one after another.
The people were living a life worse than death.
On the contrary, those places under the protection of the powerful monster kings had a chance to catch their breath.
It had to be said that this was an extremely ironic thing.
And all of this was related to the Buddha without heaven.
Li Shouyi listened to Huang Qin’s narration and closed his eyes.
Who was Skyless Buddha?
Of course he knew the answer.
He held the document and thought about the background of this Huang Qin recorded in the document.
He was a very ordinary working class.
Because of his luck, he had drawn the game cabin.
But in a nightmare world, he met that person, obtained an opportunity, and was sent to travel to the west.
Although he couldn’t be like the players in the realm of Nightmare, using a point certificate to exchange for bloodlines and skills to strengthen himself.
However, his status in the journey to the west was beyond imagination.
Therefore, his growth speed was much faster than the average players in the nightmare game.
Other than becoming a captain in more than a month, he even comprehended a supernatural ability!
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi remembered the graduation school in Huang Qin’s background.
“I went to the same junior high school as that one…” Thinking of this, Li Shouyi stood up and said to Huang Qin, “Master Huang, thank you for your hard work!”
“You can go back first… if there’s anything, I’ll send someone to invite you over!”
“Okay!” Huang Qin quickly stood up.
After sending Huang Qin away, Li Shouyi sat in his office.
His eyes were blurred.
During this period of time, everything that happened in Jiangcheng City was replaying in his mind.
The thick fog spread from night to morning.
Countless monster shadows from another world were reflected in the fog, as vivid as a mirage.
As for the bookstore owner…
According to various sources, he seemed to have been in the bookstore the whole time.
He would go out to buy breakfast every morning, and then he wouldn’t go out for the whole day.
Occasionally, he would call and give an Xiaoxiao a change of clothes.
Also, he would ask the Fusang girl to deliver some takeout.
Every other week or so, he would order takeout from a restaurant in Jiangcheng city called HP Midnight Snack.
But this supper was extremely mysterious.
The man who claimed to be the boss only opened for business one day a week.
That day happened to be when the supper was ordered.
The Blackguard had secretly sent someone to order his takeout, and the result was that it was just a very ordinary seafood barbecue.
But…
The boss of the supper restaurant appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
There was almost no way to lock onto him.
Right now, the only thing the blackguard knew about him was that he was a young man who called himself Zhou Ke. His place of origin, identity, and information could all be found from the central civil administration files of the Federal Empire.
However, when the Blackguard went to check, he found out that everything was fake.
His place of birth was fake, his place of origin was fake, and his address was fake.
The only real information was that his adopted daughter, the little girl named Aning, would go to kindergarten on time every day.
Moreover, every time he delivered food, Zhou Ke would bring his adopted daughter along.
Therefore, everything that appeared in front of the Blackguard was as mysterious as the thick fog in Jiangcheng city, making it impossible for people to figure out.
“Should I come personally?” Li Shouyi wondered.
However, after much hesitation, he gave up.
Because now, everything, including the realm of nightmare, seemed to have the shadow of the owner of the bookstore.
Therefore, the thick fog might be his plan!
Asking rashly might be regarded as questioning.
Many think tanks had already pointed out that this terrifying ancient god did not like to be interfered.
And his personality was temperamental.
Before his actions posed a real threat to reality, rashly asking him would most likely be considered a threat by him.
Furthermore, it was also mentioned in the report Huang Qin brought back from his journey to the west.
Apart from the Buddhas, immortals, and gods, there seemed to be a higher level of strength in the journey to the west.
The Black Wind King had once said something like ‘The Saint Lord values his face the most’, ‘with the world as a chessboard and the common people as Chess Pieces’.
And Buddha without the heavens was tacitly acknowledged as the Saint Lord by the journey to the west.
This was the case for an incarnation.
What status should the main body have?
Even an incarnation needs his face, but what about the main body?
The words ‘most values his face’directly overthrew all of Li Shouyi’s plans.
Just as he was thinking about this, the confidential phone at his desk rang.
After Li Shouyi picked it up, his expression immediately brightened. “Colonel Li is going back to River City?”
“That’s Great!”The commander-in-chief of the blackguard sighed from the bottom of his heart.
That’s right…
Outsiders naturally couldn’t interfere.
But it was fine for his own people to take the initiative to ask.
…
Ling Ping’an opened his eyes in a daze and regained control of his body.
That was because the phone in his trouser pocket rang.
He didn’t need to look to know that it was his aunt calling.
This was a type of innate ability that he had recently mastered.
It was similar to foresight.
When it was related to himself, he could directly know some things in advance.
This meant that he was gradually reaching a balance between his human nature and his monster form.
Otherwise, in the past, he wouldn’t have such an ability in his human form.
Only when the monster form and human nature reached a balance could he master the ability that only monsters could have in his human form.
Although he was still weak now, this was a good start.
It meant that he might be able to control the strength of monsters.
When he picked up the phone, his aunt’s voice came through, “Ping’an… haha… I’ll Be at Jiangcheng City high-speed railway station right away!”
“Oh!” Ling Ping’an laughed, “I’ll be there to pick you up right away!”
His aunt’s silver-bell-like laughter came from the phone, “Hehe… Ping’an, Weiwei came back with me too!”
