Double world undercurrent

Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Witch Conspiracy

Yangcheng, a big city with four alleys and eight streets, is silent in the late night when the lights have faded.

Next to a street bar at the entrance of an alley in the city, there is a facade that has been rented out for many years, and no one cares about it.Tonight, there was a half-meter-wide gap at the lower end of the heavy rolling door on the facade, and orange lights shone through it.

The facade is covered with dark brown antique floor tiles, and a horizontal cabinet is monotonously displayed on the left.On the wall at the upper right of the cabinet, there is a fingerprint card machine.By swiping a specific fingerprint, the wall opposite the horizontal cabinet will become a movable door, revealing the dark room inside.

An orange chandelier hangs in the center of the top of the dark room, and the shadowy shadow of the lamp is projected on the long table below.On the four corners of the walls, there are various magical instruments displayed.

At this time, a secret meeting was going on in the dark room.The one sitting in the main seat was a bony, middle-aged man. His left eye was sunken, his right eye was narrowed into a slit, and there was a five-centimeter scar obliquely at the end of his eye.

"The old wizard said it was okay to fail the mission... but he was disappointed."

He looked around, scanning everyone present in turn, and finally, his eyes calmly and sharply fell on the white-robed exorcist opposite him.

The man's face was flushed, his head was lowered, and he was staring at the golden mask on the table in embarrassment. The robe on his body was a little messy, and there was a striking burn mark on the fabric on his left shoulder.

"Xiao Jiang, do you have anything to say?"

The middle-aged man crossed his fingers, leaned his upper body forward, and listened in a comfortable posture.

Jiang Feng looked up and glanced at his companions at the table guiltily. One of them was still being treated by the witch doctor because of his serious injuries.

"...I didn't expect the Demon King to come..." he said, "It was my decision-making error...that dragged everyone down..."

"Hmm..." The middle-aged man continued to say in a deep voice, "...you have only experienced 20 years, so you are naturally no match for the Demon King. However, before the Demon King appeared, I heard that you also put in a lot of effort... "

"...I underestimated the enemy."

Jiang Feng's eyes were burning, and he murmured.

"Oh? Is that all?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, his gentle expression changed, as if a cloud of thunderstorm covered his emaciated face, and his crossed knuckles became stiff due to force, he said word by word:
"When I gave you the task, did I say that you must catch the living?"

"...You never said that."

From the corner of Jiang Feng's eyes, he glanced at the two companions beside him. They stared at him with unknown expressions, but he ignored it and continued:

"However, she is more valuable to us alive than dead."

There were whispers from the neighbors.

The middle-aged man shrewdly narrowed his eyes and stared at him like a snake:

"……Tell me."

"First, in her divine essence, there is the energy of the monument of divine power. This energy is the key for us to temper the blood bluestone to absorb dark energy. And this energy is like blood. It is only fresh when it is alive."

"Secondly, the Monument of Divine Power is a product of the agglomeration of the souls of the entire clan when the gods perished thousands of years ago. It represents the power of 'creation' and is contrary to the nature of the demons to 'devour'..."

"...But why did the demons enshrine it like a temple for thousands of years? To find the weakness of the demons, the monument of divine power is the breakthrough point, and she has a deep relationship with the monument of divine power, which can be studied by us."

"Third, in order to maintain the spatial stability of the two worlds and reduce the accumulation of dark energy to prevent collapse, it is better to avoid excessive conflicts with the demons before we successfully temper the blood bluestone..."

"... After all, she has a pivotal position in the demon clan. What we did today has already touched the demon king's scales. If we kill her, it will be of no benefit to anyone."

The middle-aged man stroked his chin and tentatively said:
"The analysis makes sense. I thought...you have softened your heart towards your old classmates."

"how come……"

Jiang Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said firmly:
"Who made her belong to the demon clan... Protecting the interests of mortals is my belief... So, Patriarch Li, I implore you to give me a chance to make amends."

"You alarmed the Demon King today, he said that... What the old wizard means is that this matter will be postponed for now..."

The middle-aged man named Patriarch Li replied.

"Perhaps we can reverse the order, first use her to figure out the relationship between the monument of divine power and the demons, find a way to completely destroy them, and then capture her and use her to temper the blood bluestone..."

"...At that time, even if the devil finds out about our actions, it will be too late. As long as our blood bluestone is tempered successfully, we can enter another world to attack the demons."

Jiang Feng sincerely requested:
"Please patriarch Li give me a chance to make up for it. I can use my relationship with her to get close to her and find out their secrets."

"I will express my sincerity to the old wizard. As for the next step, I will discuss it after I ask the old wizard for instructions."

Patriarch Li inadvertently touched the scar at the end of his eye, and said, "Next time, be more subtle..."

"Yes."

In the water park, after Gu Xiaoxing came out of the locker room, he didn't see Ming Shuo, but only two lines of words floating in mid-air: A vision suddenly descended from the sky in another world, which may be related to the rebel party.

Afterwards, these few lines of words condensed into a blue messenger crane, which flew down on Gu Xiaoxing's fingertips, obeying Gu Xiaoxing's call.

Mingshuo's message made Gu Xiaoxing feel worried, wondering what Leng Yi was up to.But she can only wait for Mingshuo's news in the real world, and can't do anything. This feeling is really bad.

She came from another world, but she didn't know how to get back. For safety reasons, Ming Shuo didn't want her to go back either.

Gu Xiaoxing asked Ming Shuo to be careful in everything by letting the messenger crane carry the letter.

Another world is another dimension of this world.The time in the different world is synchronized with the current world, and there are also time zone differences. However, in the different world, day and night are reversed.For example, at midnight in a different world, the sky is as bright as it is at noon in the current world.

During the daytime in a different world, there is also a round of sun in the sky, and the sunlight penetrates the clouds, just like in the current world; at night, there is no moon and stars in the sky, and instead, colorful light clusters similar to the aurora illuminate the night sky.So, sometimes, the night in another world is brighter than the night in this world.

At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the capital city of another world———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————. Both ends extend to the sky, as if the sky has been torn open with a long and narrow scar.

After this lasted for 5 minutes, the "scar" in the sky healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Highness, there is a crack in the sky, and there is a conflict between the earth and the evil, which is not a good omen."

In the Observation Tower in another world, Master Guantian whispered to him after Ming Shuo ordered all the officials to avoid him.

"Has this ever happened before?"

Ming Shuo asked coldly.

"About 8000 years ago, during the First World War, this phenomenon also appeared in the sky. At that time, the rebels used forbidden techniques to cast the blood bones of the black dragon into dark beads, which were used to absorb dark energy so that they could wreak havoc ..."

Master Guantian respectfully replied.

"Mingzhu?"

"Yes, Your Highness... But later, the Mingzhu was destroyed. Because this kind of forbidden weapon has too much evil spirit, it will consume too much Tianyuan Qi when it is forged, and there will be abnormal celestial phenomena. My subordinates speculate..."

The celestial master hesitated:
"...a similar forbidden device was born."
