Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1160 Chiba Industrial City

"The fate of not giving orders is to be obeyed."

"Head twisted off?" Titus thought for a moment, "I understand now. The rule here is that you can only do things with Xu Fu's orders, and without his orders you must stay where you are?"

"That's it," Ii agreed. "That's all I know."

"Then let me propose a hypothesis - suppose you will starve to death if you stay where you are, and you will die if you disobey orders. Both will lead to death, so what will you choose?"

"I will choose to stay where I am. Because the shadowy observer is more terrifying than death."

"Now, everything is clear. I am quite sure what your monitor is."

"What is it?"

"Is it his shadow?" Shangluo asked on the phone.

"Yes, Lord King of Rome. I am now certain that Xu Fu is using his own shadow to monitor him. Do you have such magic?"

"Do we have it?" Shangluo asked Fu Yuanshan.

"As far as I know, no - but what I know is only a small part of the magic. There are countless magic spells in the past, and it is not surprising to use shadows to cast spells. I think this may itself be a kind of nightmare technique. Xu Fu detained their souls to deal with them."

"Then how did Xu Fu capture their souls?"

"That's easy. For the art of magic, there are also numerous ways to call back souls. Xu Fu may have grabbed one of their souls and made them fight each other - that's probably it. But from the perspective of immortal magic, we have no idea how it works. We don't use this kind of magic now. I can't say it's very advanced, but it is indeed quite effective."

"But is there something wrong with such a wide range of collective magic?"

"No, Shangluo." Fu Yuanshan explained, "The characteristics of these techniques are that they are wide-ranging, effective, and far-reaching. In the fourth year of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, there was a collective nightmare called 'Xingxi Queen Mother Chips'. Its origin is still unknown. But historical records show that at that time, tens of thousands of people ran barefoot with their hair loose, holding 'Xiwangmu Chips' and shouting, rushing towards Chang'an City, and even rushing through checkpoints at night, causing shock to the government and the public. The people of Chang'an were in a state of panic all day long. They heard that a great disaster was about to befall, and they had to wear this Xiwangmu Chips to survive. Otherwise, the white hair of the Xiwangmu would appear under the door hinges."

The event of the Queen Mother of the West was recorded in the Book of Han, and was repeatedly cited in the classics of successive dynasties. Although the event itself stopped spontaneously in the autumn of that year, its impact has continued to the later generations. After that, every dynasty tried to reduce the occurrence of such mass panic, but the collective will of human beings is uncontrollable, and it happened many times afterwards.

"Is there still soul-calling?" Shangluo knew that there was a similar incident during the great panic in 1768 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

"Calling souls? That never happened." Fu Yuanshan shook his head and said, "We don't have such a thing here. But it seems that you can understand what the magic is."

"No, I don't understand. Why?"

"What I meant is that you understand 'you can't understand magic'. I can't understand it either - so now Xu Fu is demonstrating to us how to use real magic. Now, in contrast to the Xiwangmu Chop, he uses the nightmare technique to nail everyone to the spot and dare not move. They are even more afraid of Xu Fu's magic than they are of death itself. "For the way he nailed everyone to the spot, Shang Yang would have given a thumbs up if he were alive, and the First Emperor would have to invite him back to be the national teacher. Two thousand years of life have not been in vain! This skill of torturing people has simply reached an unprecedented peak. Now I am very curious about what it is that even he has to prepare for war."

According to the intelligence sent by Titus, Xu Fu had a fleet of ships stored in Qianye - but he had no intention of sending the fleet to fight against the king's army. He just ordered a ship to die, let it be sunk by the king's army and never fought back.

Shangluo pondered for a moment: "He called us all the way here, didn't he just want to tell us this?"

"Can't he speak human language? If he really asked for help, we can discuss it." Fu Yuanshan still didn't understand. "Why did he go to so much trouble to send waves of people to die?"

"I think, is it possible that this is the case? This is already 'speaking' to him."

"What do you mean?" Fu Yuanshan asked.

"I think Xu Fu may have lost the ability to communicate normally. This kind of behavioral communication is already his way of conveying his meaning - that is, he seems to be calling people to die, but in fact he may be talking to us."

"Has he turned into an ant? Is he communicating with pheromones? Isn't it because he has already released enough pheromones and feels that we can't understand him, so he has to send people to die to prove his loyalty?"

Shangluo shook his head: "I can't understand what the ants are thinking. How could Xu Fu become like this? If immortality is going to become like this, then I think Xu Fu's path to immortality might be adulterated. But what kind of powerful enemy is it that makes him care? Are there any enemies in the Pacific Ocean to the east that are going to kill us?"

"Um"

"Wait a minute." Shangluo suddenly raised his head. "How is the situation in the Columbia Automata Country?"

"Our spies are still in action, and there is no news for the time being." Fu Yuanshan replied, "But New Antioch is on the east coast of the New World and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Even if they come, they have to bypass the entire New World."

"Since we can't figure it out, let's just ask him. He's very loyal, right? He won't fight back, right? Now that we've found his treasure, the industrial base and farm he worked so hard to build, I'll see if he really won't fight back. I want to see if his loyalty is absolute."

"Ah, this." Fu Yuanshan asked him, "Did you want to burn Edo, but found that there was nothing to burn, so you had to find something to burn?"

"I am just following Xu Fu's wishes. Since he is willing to take it, I will of course hit him a few more times. Pass on my order - let them go to Qianye."

"He will die." Fu Yuanshan reminded, "That Jing Yi might die."

"That depends on his loyalty. I also want to see how Xu Fu would view his loyalty to the king's army. Anyway, let Titus report a location. It would be best if you can mark Xu Fu's 'Super Crossbow-class Battleships'. I want to send them to see the Dragon King."
