Chapter 73 073. Overwhelmed

The next day.

"Gucheng Evening News" published a headline on the front page of a heavy report.

Last night at the Gucheng Hotel, the New Year's banquet held by the warlord Li Qing was invaded by red mist. Including Li Qing himself, all the guests present and the hotel staff suffered accidents, and no one survived.

According to reports, when the follow-up people entered the banquet hall, they could only see the tragic mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and they couldn't tell who each corpse was. Among all the victims, I was among you, and you were among me. separate.

Because all the people in power in the old city government attended the banquet, there was no leader for a while, and the upper echelons of the whole city fell into chaos. Many people had ulterior motives and intended to take power.

However, at four o'clock in the morning, the rebel army seemed to have expected it, and quickly took control of the police station, army headquarters, administrative agencies and traffic arteries in the old city. At eight o'clock in the morning, the rebels had actually occupied the old city.

As for the captives of the rebels who were supposed to be executed this morning, they have naturally been rescued.

"We're selling newspapers, we're selling newspapers, big news, Li Qing is dead, Master Qingtian is here!"

The newsboy selling newspapers shouted loudly, the day before he was General Li Qing, and today he has become a dog thief. He turned against him faster than turning over a book.

"Let me tell you, yesterday I was running a shop here, and suddenly it started to fog. Then I seemed to hear something. When the fog cleared, I found that there was a lot of noise at the hotel. Oops, guess what? What’s the matter, the Li dog thief is dead!”

At the entrance of the book shop, several nearby shopkeepers were sitting and chatting together. Soldiers wearing rebel uniforms walked by from time to time on the street, as if they were arresting possible rebel forces that still supported the warlords.

Of course, the main force of the old city had already surrendered, and the changing of the flag was not so violent and bloody. For most of the people in the old city, it was just a night of firecrackers.

It can also be regarded as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

The boss of the book store is quite cheerful. There are many people buying newspapers today, and his business is doing well.

While thinking about it, he heard a somewhat lazy voice.

"Boss, is "The King in Yellow" still available?"

Looking up, the boss of the bookstore saw a tall and thin man, wearing a plain suit and vest, like an ordinary employee working in a patent office.

The man's eyes were dull and divergent, as if he hadn't had a good rest, and his whole person had a gloomy and decadent temperament.

Hearing the other party's words, the owner of the book store's eyes lit up, he cleared his throat, and spoke seriously.

"The ones on the shelf are sold out, there should still be some in the warehouse, guest, can you go and have a look with me?"

"it is good."

The man nodded and followed the bookstore owner gently to the warehouse behind the bookstore.

When I opened the storeroom, I saw a woman lying in a corner covered with a quilt. She was startled by the sound of the door opening when she was about to wake up. She opened her eyes, sat up, and pulled up the quilt to cover her body. .

This is Tang Xiaomeng.

"Who are you guys?"

Tang Xiaomeng's memory only stopped at looking in the mirror in her room. She tried to recall, but the next moment, countless noisy ravings rang in her ears, and knowledge that she had never been exposed to before washed her brain like a tsunami , making her dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, she saw that there seemed to be a huge spider climbing on the roof of the warehouse. It was made of flesh and blood, and it was terrifying.

A deep roar like a dragon came from the distance, and a huge shadow passed through the window, blocking the sunlight.

Even the strange man in front of him seemed to have a dark shadow entrenched in him, weird and frightening.

"It's all right now, those are just auspicious glimpses from distant stars, you'll get used to it."

The man put his hand on Tang Xiaomeng's shoulder. Soon, Tang Xiaomeng felt that the noise in her ears had calmed down a lot, and the knowledge was hiding in the ravines of her brain like insects afraid of the sun.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but the warehouse became a lot brighter.

"Xia Yi entrusted you to me."

The man continued.

Hearing Xia Yi's name, Tang Xiaomeng's eyes showed bewilderment and confusion.

But soon, some flowing memories came to her mind. Different from the previous torrent of knowledge that was overwhelming and seemed to completely transform her consciousness, this one was soft and warm, like a gurgling stream shining in the sun. Flowing memories.

This is Xia Yi's memory.

Tang Xiaomeng was confused at first, then surprised, and finally turned into confusion and sadness. This memory was too profound, just like personal experience.

She saw Xia Yi's sinking, struggling, and felt his pain and persistence. In the end, everything turned into that look. Tang Xiao dreamed that it was the look in Xia Yi's eyes when he was talking about his ideals when he was a student. After many years, that look is still the same. constant.

Just like the first time I saw you.

"A person's character is his destiny."

The man sighed softly, and looked at Tang Xiaomeng again, knowing that she had understood everything. "Pack it up, I'm going to send you to a place where you can completely control the power contained in your body without losing control and becoming one of those monsters."

He said pointedly.

Tang Xiaomeng raised her head subconsciously. The flesh-and-blood spider was approaching, tilted its head, and looked at the three of them.

".Who are you?"

The knowledge in her mind told Tang Xiaomeng not to pay attention to these monsters. She swallowed and asked the man.

"You can call me Wushan."

The man said calmly.

"Just a passing novelist."

In Qiao Mu's sight, the melody flowing in the evening sun outlined the system's depressing and crazy words.

"You made a lot of money?"

He looked at the number of God's Chosen points he had obtained in disbelief.

After buying [Guide to the World] before, his points have dropped to single digits, but now, he has directly gained weight.

As expected, it is the [Erosion] difficulty that elementary school students would decisively choose!
"As expected of me!"

Qiao Mu couldn't help boasting.

"Great!"

A voice responded.

Qiao Mu immediately looked around, but found no one, even the guy squatting in the corner didn't know where he went. The scientific exploration editorial office was empty, only the grass in the pot on the window sill was as green as new.

"Hello, are you there?"

Qiao Mu leaned over and asked politely.

"Not here, cnm!"

Another voice sounded again.

Qiao Mu frowned, because this time he heard that the sound did not come from somewhere else, but from his body.

"Whatever you look at, I'll drink you up if you look at it again!"

A voice sounded from Qiao Mu's chest.

Qiao Mu thought about it.

He reached out and opened his chest, then took out the heart and looked at it carefully.

"Can you say that again?"

He spoke to his heart.
