Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 722

"This is……"

Kong Zhe stared at the card immediately.

This familiar color and pattern... Isn't this the king's trial card?
"Are you a candidate for the king?"

Kong Zhe was a little surprised. The one who could have the King's Trial Card was undoubtedly someone who had participated in the King's Trial. That is to say, he and Lei Yun had appeared on the same battlefield before. Just don't know each other.

He thought that those who participated in the King's Trial were all awakened ones, but he didn't expect that capable people were also included in the selection.

But it's right to think about it carefully. After all, the old man Chen Qiao only said that only native earthlings can use the power of the stars. Whether they are capable or awakened, as long as they meet this condition, they should be eligible for the election.

"Yes."

Lei Yun smiled darkly.

"Because I have experienced that kind of power, I can't help but desire... Oh, of course, I am not referring to your ring. I have heard the name of the arbitrator. Such a pretentious identity is not suitable for me. .What I want is just an ordinary ring."

"You mean, from the three kings of the temple..."

Kong Zhe asked with a strange face.

Lei Yun didn't speak, just nodded with a light smile, which was regarded as acquiescing.Then he looked at Kong Zhe.

"How about it? You help me ascend to the position of the king, and I will help you save people. As for whether to kill the palace master... If you have the opportunity, you must take advantage of this best opportunity to do it, otherwise you may suffer in the future." To the endless pursuit. Of course, if there is no chance, the safety of both of us should be the first priority.”

Lei Yun had a confident look on his face.He believes that there is no conflict of interest between them, on the contrary, they have a common enemy, which is the natural basis for cooperation.So he felt that Kong Zhe had no reason to refuse.

"Do you cooperate..."

Kong Zhe murmured.

Indeed, the other party's plan sounds very attractive, but it seems a bit too idealistic. In fact, there are too many variable factors that may be encountered in reality, and the final result will often develop in an unpredictable direction.

The only consolation is that a prophet was involved in the plan.

The existence of the prophet can reduce the future variables infinitely, and then make the result go in the direction they want as much as possible.

But despite this, the risk of this plan is still too great for the mysterious and unpredictable palace master.

On the one hand, Kong Zhe has too many things to consider, he takes everyone around him very seriously, and the death of any person is a result he cannot afford.

On the other hand, he still couldn't fully trust the two people in front of him. After all, it was only the first time he met them. The other party was a member of a hostile organization before, so choosing to cooperate with them at this time felt a bit like seeking skin from a tiger.

The development of this matter has actually completely exceeded Kong Zhe's expectations. Whether it is the encounter with Lei Yun and the prophet, or a deeper understanding of the strength of the palace master, it is constantly hitting him. expectations.

The addition of these things made Kong Zhe feel that there was definitely a huge vortex ahead, and if they continued, they would probably sink deeper and deeper.

Therefore, he no longer wants to defeat the Palace Master, let alone kill him.Now he only hopes to be able to bring his people safely out of this place of right and wrong.

The idea, while somewhat selfish, is practical.

"Why, haven't you decided yet?"

Kong Zhe was unable to make a decision for a long time, but on the opposite side, Lei Yun seemed to be a little impatient, watching the pocket watch in his hand more and more times.

At this moment, he finally couldn't help it, closed his pocket watch, and stood up from the chair.

"Sorry, even if you can't make a decision now, I can't give you more time..."

"Oh?"

Kong Zhe was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lei Yun: "What, do you have something to do?"

I thought about it for a long time, but the anxiety on the other side's face seemed a bit excessive.Judging from the previous contact, he didn't realize that the other party was an impatient person, so he guessed that the other party had something urgent to do.

Sure enough, Lei Yun nodded directly upon hearing the words.

"After all, I am still a member of the temple, and I have my own responsibilities in the temple. Once the temple master finds out that I have been away for too long, it is easy to arouse suspicion. And..."

As Lei Yun said, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the city gate.

"The time is now 10:[-]. In [-] minutes, the first engagement ceremony between the temple and the Fox God Palace will be held. I have been assigned the position of the captain of the defense by the temple master. I must be present at that time."

"Engagement ceremony?"

Kong Zhe frowned.This should refer to the agreement made before the Fox God Palace and the God Temple. The Fox God Palace selects five witches to marry into the temple... After all, it seems that Xiaolei was chosen as one of the five by accident. One, what does this mean, she will also attend the ceremony later?
"How is it? Do you want to go in with us?"

Lei Yun seemed to see what Kong Zhe was thinking, and said with a light smile, "Indeed, if you enter the city now, you will be able to meet the person you are looking for immediately."

"This one……"

Kong Zhe shook his head.If he could, of course he would like to go in, but unfortunately, as long as he still has the status of a king, he will never be able to enter the city in front of him.

"If it's about the king's ring, then don't worry."

Lei Yun suddenly stretched out his hand and handed over a thin silver slice.

"This is……"

This piece of metal is only a few centimeters wide, and the whole body is silvery white. It looks like silver, but it is very light in weight.Kong Zhe quickly recognized that this thing was similar in appearance to a layer of tinfoil wrapped inside a cigarette case.

"It's tin foil, but it's not pure tin, but an alloy made of tin as the main material mixed with other rare metals."

Lei Yun explained: "This is a product produced within the organization. Wrapping it on your ring can temporarily isolate the induction between the kings."

"what?"

Kong Zhe was taken aback, his first reaction was disbelief.

The induction between kings is not about smells, fluctuations, etc., but more intuitive, a kind of induction without any entity, which is more advanced than the mutual induction between awakened people relying on the existence of magic power many.In the end, just relying on such a small layer of thin paper to cover up this invisible and intangible feeling?
"What's so strange, don't underestimate the researchers in the temple."

Lei Yun smiled wryly and shook his head: "On the first day when the King's Ring was born, as soon as the three new kings returned to the palace, the organization started a comprehensive study on the three rings non-stop, and soon there were many surprises. less fruitful."

Lei Yun pointed to the tin foil in Kong Zhe's hand: "This thing is one of them. Don't worry, this thing is effective, besides, I don't have any need to lie to you."

Lei Yun stood up, pointed at the city gate behind him with his thumb: "How is it? If you believe me, come into the city with me now, and talk about it on the way if you have anything to say."

Kong Zhe hesitated for a while, but quickly nodded and agreed.

He glanced at the piece of paper in his hand, folded it a few times, and quickly wrapped it around the finger wearing the ring.

"and this……"

Before leaving, Lei Yun handed Kong Zhe another photo.

Kong Zhe took it subconsciously.This photo shows a young man with thin cheeks, his hands in his pockets, and a cigarette in his mouth. He looks very cold and arrogant.

"Who is this?" Kong Zhe asked.

He confirmed that he had never seen the person in this photo.

"This is a confidant of mine, named Lei Er, who often follows me around the city. As far as I know, you should have a prop that can change your face, right? Change into his appearance when you enter the city, That way no one will question you."

Seeing Kong Zhe's stupefied look, Lei Yun spread his hands and explained a little more: "Of course you can't just go into the city like this, at least you have to pretend..."

"so……"

Kong Zhe reacted and couldn't help exhaling.He was not surprised that the other party knew that he had a mask. After all, he had used Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces in his previous fights with the temple, and this kind of information was easy to find out.What's more, there is a prophet beside this person, and it is possible that he learned such things from her mouth.

"Then, the person in the photo, now?"

It's easy to pretend to be a person, but the first prerequisite is not to meet the other person himself.Otherwise, the real and fake Monkey King will be staged in reality.He had to make sure that the other party had dealt with this matter.

"Don't worry, he was killed by me this morning, and his body has disappeared in the lightning. There will no longer be any trace of him in the world."

Lei Yun explained calmly.

"yes……"

Kong Zhe couldn't help exhaling, and smiled bitterly.

This person is really decisive and ruthless enough, his cronies can kill him at will.

Moreover, he killed him in the morning... It seems that the other party had already prepared everything before meeting him.

Shaking his head, Kong Zhe is not entangled in this matter.He looked down at the photo carefully, and when he reached out to take off the straw hat, his face had become exactly the same as in the photo.

"Let's go."

Lei Yun led the way, and Kong Zhe quietly followed behind them. The three of them left the teahouse directly, and walked all the way to the city gate at the back gate.

"Lei Qing put it down, Gui'an!"

As they approached the city gate, the guards on both sides saw Lei Yun who was coming first and bowed their heads in salute.

"Ah."

Lei Yun just nodded slightly and kept walking.The three of them entered the city gate directly, but no one dared to interrogate them.

The moment he entered the city gate, Kong Zhe unconsciously touched the ring on his hand, a little worried that it would be exposed immediately.

However, until he crossed the light film surrounded by the three sky cities, he still didn't feel any strangeness.

He really didn't feel the presence of any other kings inside the city, everything was the same as outside the city.

Kong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help touching the tin foil on his finger, it seems that this thing is really effective, and he doesn't know the specific reason.
