Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1281 Shadow ([-])

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, Xiling Chen finished his business trip to Yixi Kingdom, and left in a mighty manner surrounded by a group of celebrities and merchants.

Nangong Fei did not appear in the send-off team, and now she is probably busy trying to find out the spies hidden in the academy.

Accompanying Xilingchen was a girl in simple overalls with two braids hanging down.She was the descendant of the branch family who had appeared in the mourning hall of the Luo family before, and now she followed closely, turning her head from time to time to look at the members of the Xiling family who were walking behind.

Xilingchen didn't interrupt her nostalgia.To say how these two people got together, we have to talk about the matter from a few days ago.

——On that day, Xiling Chen came to a coffee shop to wait for the business representative sent by the Xiling family as agreed.And then the immature girl who hurried forward with her head buried in her hands, holding the jade slips in both hands, and confirming the map as she walked, took him by surprise.

"Sorry sorry, I got lost at first, and I'm really sorry for being so late."

After the girl sat down opposite, she kept leaning over to apologize.She claimed that her name was Xiling Zi, and she was entrusted by Xilingjie to negotiate the follow-up cooperation of the Luo family's business, and also asked "President Xiling to give me some advice."

She wears metal braces, and when the corners of her mouth are slightly opened, the bright silver of her mouth will be exposed, which is commonly known as the "steel tooth girl".The figure is the standard "front and back are the same", from head to toe, there is no element that can be appreciated by men.

But even so, she never seemed to realize the inferiority complex of her appearance, and always smiled carelessly.Occasionally, he would quietly look at Xilingchen by pushing his glasses, like a group of star-chasers who sneaked into the workplace and were at a loss when they were discovered.

In the shopping mall, there are many people who act vigorously, or hide their swords in their smiles. Not to mention anything else, when a boss sees a lot of big scenes, he will naturally develop an aura. After all, what matters at the negotiating table is who can take the lead. Whoever holds the situation first wins half.She is so stupid, like a lamb at the mercy of others, I really don't know how hard Xilingjie can think about it, so he sent her to discuss business alone.

"The Xiling clan sent you to be the representative?" Xilingchen frowned slightly, and raised his gaze ironically, "Do I need to tell you the basics of doing business first?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't look down on you, but you look very young, you should still be studying. Come out to do business at this age, does the Xiling patriarch not want to pay for your tuition?"

Xiling Zi was taken aback, raised her head and waved her hands solemnly: "No, no, I have been learning business theory since I was a child, and I am very good at mental arithmetic. As long as the number is not too large, I can calculate it directly without a calculator!" When it comes to her strengths, she also seems to have changed from a "silly big sister", and even her back quietly straightened a lot.

"Oh? Show me one?" Xilingchen seemed to be interested, took out a page from the folder, marked a few important data, and pushed the paper in front of her, together with the Put down together with the pen.

Xiling Zi didn't say a word, took the paper and just browsed it for a while, then picked up the pen and started writing quickly.After a while, he handed over the document as if asking for credit. Even under the cover of thick glasses, it is not difficult to see the brilliance waiting for praise in his eyes.

Xilingchen glanced at her answer sheet, his expression gradually changed from disdain at first to surprise, and then to a rare flash of appreciation at the end.

"That's right, I'm short of someone like you to help me manage my finances. Why don't I go talk to the Xiling Patriarch and ask you to follow me?"

This sentence was originally just a joke, but Xiling Zi immediately nodded with bright eyes: "The patriarch also meant the same thing! He felt that since you are from the clan, the president, you will never forget this old love even after you have made a fortune. Now that we want to reach a business cooperation, we should establish a closer relationship. So he wants me to work in the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce as an intermediary, and always convey the latest work instructions to both parties. Since the president also agreed, I will immediately Tell the patriarch the good news!"

Xilingchen saw that she became more and more excited as she talked, and was about to pick up the jade slip and dial it on the spot. He was dazed for a moment, and then he realized helplessly that he had been tricked.

The two lake chambers of commerce have reached a cooperation with the Xiling clan, and the world's gossip media will indeed stare at the Xiling clan, forcing them to fulfill their "semicolon" obligations, including handing in part of their income on time.But at the same time, these reporters will also stare at him at the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce.If there is a slight disturbance in the cooperative relationship between the two, their pens will definitely be long-awaited.

Disputes between the boss class and the workers have always attracted widespread attention in society.Those who like to comment on Weibo time and space, and most of them are ordinary practitioners, will naturally substitute themselves more into the employee class to protect the interests of employees.

Although Xilingchen is a well-known profiteer, his unscrupulousness is often reflected in squeezing his opponents dry, "not a blade of grass will grow", but there have been no scandals of exploiting employees.In the eyes of most people who eat melons, this is still acceptable.This time, the Xiling family is both his relatives and his next family. How he will treat this semicolon has become the most concerned topic in the business community.

Knowing that the situation was irreversible, Xilingjie made the decision to "send someone to him" after much deliberation.

After all, under the supervision of all walks of life, since Xiling Zi is the representative of the clan, it is impossible for Xilingchen to send her to do chores, and he must stay with her.There is someone watching you all the time, and you know that she is watching you, so you ask if you are indifferent?

Furthermore, with this internal response, if Xilingchen really planned to do something that would be detrimental to the clan, Xilingjie would be able to find out immediately.In the first round, the two sides were considered a tie.

After Xilingchen figured it all out, he just felt helpless for a short time, and soon, the gloom of conspiracy flashed across his eyes again.

Xilingjie, do you really think you can restrain me?In any case, this girl's financial talent is real, and I would also like to thank you for sending me such a helper... It depends on our respective abilities——

After chatting for a while, Xiling Chen also learned that Xiling Zi is an anomaly in this Internet age.

She has been interested in business since she was a child, almost to the point of "keep her ears off the window".As a young girl, she doesn't dress up, and doesn't make friends with her peers. It is precisely because of this that she always looks stupid in life.Only when she looks at the ledger can she find her own space and confidence.

Due to the limitation of blood, it was impossible for the children of the separated family to receive strong resources from the clan.But after the Xilingbei incident that year, the family abolished the caste system and treated all descendants of separated families equally. She should really be considered "born at the right time".

Of course, until the day he left Yixi Kingdom, Xiling Chen didn't know that Xiling Zi had a vague admiration for him.

If he knew, probably in his mind, it would be easier to completely transform this "undercover" into his pawn.

Now he is concentrating on thinking about the evil spirit.

Duanmuzhi once told him that Qixie Valley has many methods, the most bizarre of which is the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Moreover, this kind of resurrection is not a copy of a walking dead existence.He had seen it with his own eyes before, and there were a few dead people in the Clock Tower of Time who were still living in the outside world. They were able to speak and think, just like any normal person.

However, the people who died in name, the people around them, even their relatives and friends, did not feel abnormal.This represents their memory, which has also been tampered with to a certain extent.

It has been an iron law for thousands of years that a person cannot be resurrected after death.Xilingchen didn't believe that Qixie Valley had the ability to break the rules of heaven and earth.Therefore, this so-called "resurrection" is definitely not just a literal meaning.

According to common sense, after a person dies, his soul will naturally enter the underworld and be reincarnated.If you use any means to forcibly lock the soul in the body, even if it is theoretically possible, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the ghost world.

If it wasn't for this method... there is another method called "stealing the sky and changing the sun", that is, when a person dies, all his memories are extracted and injected into a chip.Then, fill his old body—or another modified body—with a negative energy dead soul whose memory has been washed away, and then inject the chip.

Affected by the chip, after waking up, he will naturally have all the memories of his life, and he will also think that he is the deceased himself.At the same time, because the new soul in his body is full of negative energy, his pre-life obsessions will also be infinitely magnified in a negative state.In order to achieve his obsession, he will be willing to be manipulated by Qixiegu.

Although it is still not 100% sure, but in Xilingchen's mind, this is probably the case.

At the beginning of the training class, there was a student named Yan Ziyi who had always had the habit of keeping a diary.After his memory was erased by the chip, he accidentally discovered that there were many people and things that he had no impression of in the diary, and he had never had the habit of making up diaries, which is why he discovered that the students here have always been The fact that the memory was artificially erased.

Since then, he has worked harder to keep the diary and use the diary to retain information.Hearing Duanmuzhi mention this matter, Xilingchen laughed it off at first, but the sensitivity of being in the shopping mall made him pay more attention soon.

Since Qixiegu has the ability to erase and tamper with memories... It seems that I also need to buy a diary to record some important information from time to time.After all, the person he will be dealing with next is the evil gods, and he doesn't want to be completely ignorant and be played by them—

Before setting foot on the national border, Xilingchen glanced at his feet.

Just now, whether it was his illusion or not, he always felt that his shadow seemed to move slightly.

……

The same incident happened in various parts of Yixi Kingdom in the following months.

When someone was doing makeup in front of the mirror, the shadow behind her suddenly jumped up automatically, turning into the shape of teeth and claws, which made her scream out of fear; He whipped the people behind him, which led to a dispute for no reason; someone just took the buns in front of the stall, and before he had time to pay, the shadow under his feet suddenly moved on his own, leading him to run wildly, which made the boss anxious. Shouting: "Catch the thief"...

And behind the shadow incident, no one noticed that there was a dark, human-shaped figure, where his face should be, there would always be a faint smile, and then sink inch by inch, reintegrating into the ground. in the shadows.

He is Phantom.

In the past, he learned a secret technique in the Luo family's classics, and he was able to transform himself into a shadow, which was invincible in battle.

In the Luo family's extermination battle, his body was destroyed by the flame ghost emperor, but his long-term practice of secret arts has changed his physique to a certain extent, and his soul can continue to survive in the shadow.As long as the shadow is not destroyed, he can live forever.But in contrast, he can no longer return to human form.

Because of this, he did not enter the ghost world like the rest of the Luo family, but continued to stay in the human world with this attitude of neither human nor ghost.

Even he himself didn't know what he was.If it is a pure spirit body, maybe there is still a chance to win over others.But now although there will be no ghost messengers to get him, he can't make the spirit body break free from the shackles of the shadow body.It has completely become a fifth creature that is different from humans, demons, demons, and ghosts.

I really don't know if this result is good for him or not.

In short, apart from cultivating, Huanmei now hides in the shadows of others and plays pranks every day, which has also caused a series of supernatural events in the country.Even the media reported that maybe it was the Luo family who were full of grievances.

……

In Zhiyuan College, Nangong Fei and the old dean organized the qualification exams for the exchange students.

Written test, military test, every time a test is passed, there will be professionals standing by and recording the values ​​​​of all aspects.Afterwards, these values ​​will be handed over to the two deans for careful review, but unfortunately, no one's values ​​have been found, and there are obvious abnormalities.

In the final analysis, no one knows exactly what will happen after injecting the chip without the first sample.Although Nangong Fei and others have been researching day and night, they still have no clue.

As for the students, in order to avoid causing panic, they have not disclosed the news for the time being.But in the absence of any evidence, how to explain to Tiansheng College that the exchange student activities will be postponed has become a troublesome problem.

Furthermore, the more abnormal the test data was, the more frightened Nan Gongfei was.

According to Xilingchen, the students in the earliest training class will become like living dead under the erosion of chips. Their eyes are dull, their movements are slow, and their external characteristics are quite obvious.But now, looking at those students who are fighting freely and answering questions fluently, if they are really injected with chips...

That can only show that the high technology of this chip is becoming more and more unfathomable!
