Double world undercurrent

Chapter 71 Chapter Uninvited Guests

They looked around, seeing people coming and going in the bright and spacious hall, almost all of them employees working here, as well as a few outside customers, there was nothing wrong.

"Nothing unusual is found here, sir...oh...Gu Xiaoxing."

Chao Xun's olive-shaped gray eyes shone with alertness, and he replied warmly.

It seems that Yaya must have told him not to call Gu Xiaoxing a princess in a place where mortals gather. After all, the situation in other worlds is different from the current world.

Yaya seemed a little depressed when she saw Gu Xiaoxing:

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Oh, no, I just feel that I shouldn't have slept so deeply just now..."

She rubbed her eyes gently.

That past event reappeared in her sleep, and she was already relieved, as if she was being dragged by someone to relive an old movie that made her sad. Although the "movie" is now over and she has woken up, those low emotions still linger.

She lowered her head and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, trying to focus on her divine energy to determine if the magic suppression was causing trouble again. However, there seemed to be no movement in the dark red "line shadow" in Shen Yuan.

I hope she is overthinking it. Ever since Leng Yi used dark energy to repair her soul, she was a bit confused because she wasn't sure whether Leng Yi, a lunatic, would add any "spice" to the dark energy. Ming Shuo cast a spell to upgrade her bracelet, which could, to a certain extent, suppress the possible negative effects of dark energy, such as continued depression for no reason.

Ming Shuo, this demon king seems to be different from the previous demon kings in other worlds.

In the past few days, Gu Xiaoxing was reading the "Code of Other Worlds" and "Century Chronicles of Other Worlds" and discovered that Mingshuo had modified and rebuilt the system that had been rooted in the other world for thousands of years in just one hundred years! !

He created a brand-new institutional system, such as the establishment of the General Administration Department and the Directorate Yuan, allowing the Directorate Yuan directly under the jurisdiction of the Demon King to supervise the General Administration Department; the subordinate agencies of the Directorate Yuan supervise the military, government, finance, and law, etc.; add a chief auxiliary officer with "high position but low power"; allow all official positions, such as financial officer, legal officer, consul, etc., to be open to civilians, and stipulate the term of office...

Now, the military power of the other world is also directly under the commander of the Demon King, and all major institutions have infiltrated the Demon King's influence. In the Governor's Court, his relatives' power has reached nearly 70%, and his throne is impregnable.

There is never a shortage of capable and ambitious people on the throne, as well as those who are arrogant, extravagant, and ordinary.

"Steady, accurate and ruthless, domineering and pure in desire" was Gu Xiaoxing's impression of him as the Demon King. Although the compilers would pick and choose, sifting out the parts that were not conducive to the ruler, she could still glean something from it.

He is like an eagle in the clouds, quietly and majestically overlooking the vast alien world...

Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself: Although the other world is generally peaceful now, and there is no major turmoil in the current world, how long can this superficial peace last? Leng Yi's party has resurrected, and they have the mysterious blessing of dark energy. However, the Wu clan is still worried that the demon clan will "eat the weak and the strong" on mortals, disrupting their control of the real world. Many unstable factors are enough to threaten the peace between the two worlds.

Only by fundamentally realizing the coexistence of interests and mutual understanding can we hope to achieve long-term peace.

Because neither human nature nor demonic nature can stand the test. There are always people who will be driven by interests or bewitched by ambition, take desperate risks, and destroy their true nature.

Just like the two wars between the two worlds, people knew at that time that there was an invisible "balance point" between the other world and the real world since the beginning of chaos, which could not be destroyed. No matter which side breaks the rules and invades the other side, it may cause excessive growth of dark energy and cause the collapse of both worlds. But even so, aren't there still people eager to try it?

Back then, if the gods had not emerged to save the common people, where would the world be today? But what's the result? Whether it’s the witch clan or the restless demon clan, won’t people still find ways to create conditions to cross red lines for their own “interests”?

It seems that nature's "code of balance" is not enough to warn the world. The world is too good at forgetting, and the scars are healed and they forget the pain.

So, is there a more powerful way that is impeccable and can completely change this situation?

Gu Xiaoxing, who has recovered part of his memory, boldly imagined. She knew clearly what she wanted most.

Once, she had a special ability, that is, to "create" and "resurrection" flowers and plants in other worlds. Later, based on this ability, she opened the "Eye of Rebirth". Although the function of this "Eye of Rebirth" is unknown, it is still She is not under control, but because of this, she has a "godhead" that no one in her clan has.

She had worked hard to study these skills for the sake of her frail mother-in-law, but in the end she stopped there. Nowadays, she can't even use basic spiritual power smoothly, let alone improve her skills. It seems that we have to do it step by step...

In addition, as a demon, why could she sacrifice the monument of divine power and seal Leng Yi? Why was she born with divinity? Moreover, why could she feel the nameless call that day in the Monument of Divine Power? I'm afraid she didn't even have a thorough understanding of these issues back then...

Gu Xiaoxing got off the sofa and pressed the elevator of the building again. He turned around and told Chao Xun to pay more attention to the lobby and nearby corners, and to report any abnormalities immediately.

"Yaya..."

As the elevator went up, she gently asked the female officer next to her:

"You've been at the border of God's Domain before, right?"

"Yes, I served as a border guard for fifty years."

Fifty years...

In my memory, due to the influence of the gas clouds above the God's Domain, it was like purgatory for ordinary demons. Therefore, except for special guards and exiled criminals, there were few people there.

"When I have free time, I want to hear you talk about what you experienced at the border of God's Domain in those years, Yaya..."

"OK……"

She thought that maybe she should start from the divine realm and seek some enlightenment...

The humidity of the rainy season soaks through the world's barriers, seeping from gray days into dark nights. At this time, lime rain also began to fall in a remote area of ​​the other world.

Clusters of giant magic fungi covered with spikes cover the winding and desolate bridge of vertebrae. This is the remains of an ancient beast. The two sides of the 600-foot-long vertebrae support a total of ninety-six curved ribs, towering high into the silent abyss. Above the abyss, the closed valley peaks spread out like five fingers, welcoming the warm moisture in the night sky.

Two beams of devilish energy flew quickly and fell into the fungus, as if they had hit a transparent barrier wall. A low curse was heard, and then they sank into the vertebrae bridge covered by the fungus. .

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the center of the wreckage. In the intricate confined space, ferocious creatures crawled in darkness, guarding this forgotten corner.

"Welcome back to the team..."

Zhu Yan opened his arms, showing a craziest smile like a flame tattoo, and made a gesture to welcome Lan Youzi and Ye Puppet who were approaching.

"You seem to be taking good care of this place..."

Lan Youzi took off his hood, looked around the walls, and glanced from the armory to the gauze wrapped by Wu Ye:

"...Why, this is now a nursing home for the injured?"

There was ridicule and resentment in her cold Danfeng eyes.

"Don't jump to conclusions so early..."

Zhu Yan chuckled lightly, and the inner wall of the animal bone behind him split apart with a snap of his fingers:

"Look..."

The bone walls on both sides of the crack were gray-white, and the thick stone door slowly opened, revealing a quiet space where light and mist blended inside.

Those pieces of shimmering and condensed on the inner wall are fresh mortal essences, as full and translucent as grapes on a pergola.

Every soul reflects the results of their mass killing in the present world.

In the center of the light mist, the "long neck and slender waist, trumpet-shaped upper and lower parts" was suspended high in the shape of a goblet. It exuded a dark energy aura that kept strangers away, as if it could ignore the barriers of space and connect with the other end. The owner is connected. Seeing the "vessel", Lan Youzi suppressed the sharpness in his eyes, and acted like a follower who loves without words, but also like a devout believer. He nodded deeply and bowed towards the other side, and other people present also followed suit.

"These days, we have secretly convinced a few 'old friends'..."

After the space bone door was closed again, Zhu Yan motioned her to look at the silent big men outside the armory and said:

"Between claiming the bounty and liberating their nature, they wisely chose the latter..."

"Laibiao? Yuanmu? Why did you recruit them both here?"

Ye Puppet frowned and looked at the two strongest ones from a distance. One had purple-grey skin, a hard shell of armor-like spikes all over his body, and a pair of long-armed bone hammers on his shoulders; the other had a flat face side by side. With three pairs of black eyes, pale and mouthless, his appearance lives up to his name.

These two guys had remained neutral during the civil war, not because they had many ideas at the time, but because they were notoriously moody and unstable.

"One moment and another, we need to strengthen our team now..."

Zhu Yan knew that Ye Puppet was not sure about these two guys and had a grudge against them.

"This batch of 'reserved grains' also includes their contribution..."

Zhu Yan deliberately looked at the "newcomers", and the luster in his eyes suddenly condensed, as if he had noticed something.

Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and the bone walls of the ancient beast's empty cavity were instantly covered with ice crystals. The sudden chill seemed to seep into the seams of people's bones, making everyone present tremble.

"Yuanmu!"

People saw that Yuanmu stood motionless outside the armory, but his three pairs of eyes had changed. The huge pupils quickly shrank into dots, and then disappeared from the whites of the eyes. The six narrow eyes were filled with Dead air. He was like a gray moth with cicada wings, and the cold death energy burst out from his hem.

"Wow..."

Just when people were on guard against his unknown move, they saw two deathly ice flames burning into a black circle in front of the armory, and then, a man actually fell out of the circle! The man's left eyebrow is broken, and his neck is wrapped in Yuanmu's "dead energy". If he shakes even slightly, his head may be separated.

Judging from the robe on his body, he should be a scout guard from Huandu City.

"Ah……"

Zhu Yan glanced at Lan Youzi and said in a rich voice:

"It turns out there is an uninvited guest here! How do you think he got in?"

Lan Youzi didn't answer, just stared at the foreign intruder.

The latter was exposed in full view of the public. Although there was a flash of panic in his eyes, he quickly regained his composure. He seemed to be mentally prepared.

"What's your name?"

Lan Youzi lowered his chin slightly, lowered his eyes and asked coldly.

The intruder didn't answer.

"How dare you eavesdrop under our noses? You are so courageous..."

Her eyes flashed with bloodthirsty luster. After a second thought, she stopped again and said slyly:

"However, as long as you are willing to tell who is the person who rescued you, I will guarantee that you will not die."

"Hmph! Your security is full of loopholes. I got in easily. Why do you need any support?"

The scout frowned and said coldly. Although he was suppressed on the ground and did not dare to move rashly due to the threat on his neck, there was no fear in his words.

The "death energy" locked in his eyes was like a gear turning impatiently, only one centimeter away from the skin on his neck. The big man turned his flat face to Lan Youzi, staring at her and Zhu Yan with six eyes, asking them for instructions in ventriloquism.

"Okay, Yuanmu, just show us...what you can do right here."

Zhu Yan spoke.

Yuan Mu seemed to be a little excited. He turned his face to the prisoner in front of him. His six eyes were like hooks, forcing him to look at him. The moment the scout guard looked at him, his eyes suddenly became blurry and lost their luster, as if his soul had been bitten.

Lan Youzi looked at the controlled intruder with interest. It is said that under the control of Yuanmu's "soul-taking", no one can tell lies.

"How did you get in?"

asked somewhat playfully.

The scout guard's slightly opened lips trembled. He seemed to have retained a little willpower and struggled hard, but in the end he could only answer truthfully:

"I became invisible and waited for someone to open the magic bacteria passage, and then followed that person in. No skills are needed."

"But how did you avoid those anti-hidden agencies? Who is responding to you?"

"No one responds... I can make all mechanisms malfunction without being noticed. This is my skill..."

There was a commotion at the scene.

The big man on the other side, Pibiao, even began to shake the long-arm bone hammer on his shoulder manically.

"It seems that our security system should be reset and updated, and the base will continue to be moved..."

Zhu Yan said firmly.

"Yeah... Since their people can catch up, it means that this place is no longer safe. If Yuan Mu hadn't used 'Holy Anti-Hidden' to catch this guy out just now, our place might have become the next altar... …”

Someone in the crowd echoed.

Ye Puppet suspected that Zhu Yan had actually discovered this foreign intruder a long time ago, but did not expose it immediately. Perhaps, he also wanted to take the opportunity to try Yuan Mu's "skills".

After confirming that the reconnaissance guard had not yet exposed any details of the base and that there were no companions lurking nearby to support him, Lan Youzi's bloodthirsty interest was reduced by half.

She looked at the uninvited guest with an expressionless face. Like a rewarded snack, she was wrapped in a cocoon by Yuanmu's "death energy" and slowly sucked it into his belly.

However, are the Demon King's subordinates overconfident or lacking in manpower? Only one small scout was sent to explore their new base?

Who are they looking down on?

Lan Youzi cursed secretly and felt suspicious at the same time. She and Zhu Yan looked at each other and understood that the other party was also suspicious of this...

However, the next few hours seemed to prove that they were just overthinking...

The devilish energy above the Black Sea blew into the new devil palace, and all things withered for another season. Now the vegetation here is sparse and lacks vitality. Only the Xiyou flowers are always blooming and the osmanthus and orchids are fragrant.

The purple flower sponge extends to one corner and reflects on the mirror door on the south side of Fengluo Hall like an oil painting. The meeting in the front hall of the palace has ended...
