Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 732 The Lit Fuse
Lei Yun spread his hands: "Probably that's what it means... But, to be honest, I think the Palace Master might really be a woman..."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Lei Yun smiled wryly: "Actually, there is no basis for it. After all, the Palace Master hides it too deeply. It is only because I have stayed by her side for more than ten years that I can vaguely feel some clues."

"The previous hall master was like a piece of cold iron, cruel, cold, and inhumane. He didn't care about the lives of his subordinates. It was better for those with a higher status. It can be said that the lower status almost had no human rights. Life and death are all up to the hall master." Mood... But recently, especially after the end of the world, the character of the Palace Master seems to have suddenly undergone some subtle changes."

Lei Yun exhaled, raised his head and recalled: "If I remember correctly, since the day when the end of the world happened, the Hall Master has not killed any more people, his temper has become much milder, and his attitude towards his subordinates is also good. Many, even the escape of an elder was exposed by her, and finally nothing happened, this kind of thing was unimaginable in the past!"

"Secondly, the Hall Master used to travel all over the world, but after the end of the world, the Hall Master rarely went out. She often locked herself in the room for a whole day, and did not allow anyone to approach her. I don't know what she's doing in there."

"Until one time, when I received important information from a hostile organization and was rushing to report it, I passed by the hall master's room from a distance. Then, I vaguely heard the voice of the hall master, who seemed to be reciting something seriously. At that time, I already had a bit of a rebellious heart, driven by curiosity, I used a little ability to eavesdrop, and in the end, guess what I heard?"

Lei Yun seemed to recall what happened at that time, and his tone suddenly became a little excited. He didn't wait for Kong Zhe to answer, and then he said it on his own: "It's a prayer! What the Lord is reading is actually a prayer !"

"Can you imagine how surprised I was? That ruthless, murderous palace master actually prayed for someone again!"

Lei Yun took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

"Since then, I can't help but wonder, does even such an extremely mysterious palace master have his own family in the outside world? And the person she prays for may be her husband or Children and the like... In addition, I often find that some of the things the Hall Master does are very delicate. This kind of delicacy does not seem like a man can do it. This is why I guess that the Hall Master is a woman. And it started..."

"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded solemnly.

From this point of view, Lei Yun was just guessing. As for the authenticity of this matter, he had no way of judging, after all, everything was based on some illusory feelings.

However, this matter has little to do with him. Could it be that the Palace Master's strength has been reduced because he is a woman?After all, whether the Hall Master is a man or a woman will not have any effect on what he will do next.

Kong Zhe looked at the high platform again. At this moment, the King of Aquarius had already walked in front of the five witches, and was wandering back and forth among the five.

When Meimei pointed at this person before, he didn't know what he was going to do, but he heard what the palace master said just now.

This is 'choosing relatives'.It seemed that this man was chosen by the side of the temple as a candidate for marriage, and now he had to choose a priestess from among the five to be his partner.

And becoming the husband of a witch means having the opportunity to obtain the original divine power of the fox god, which is not an opportunity that can be obtained by just anyone.

Of course, Fox God Palace won't let this happen.

According to the plan, the night of the first wedding was the time for action.The remaining witches will break into the target location, take the green bamboo flute, and help Xiaoyu regain her strength.Then, with the help of the fox god's power, they led everyone out of the temple.

During this process, other witches will be safe with the protection of Fox God.But only the shrine maiden chosen for the first wedding will be at the forefront.Because she was the only one who couldn't move freely that night, even if the fox god regained his strength, it would probably be too late to rescue her.Therefore, the first person to be selected will be the most dangerous person in this operation.

The other witches are carefully selected elites who have trained for many years for today's matter. Even if they are trapped in the end, each of them has a certain amount of self-protection power.

only……

Kong Zhe couldn't help but squeezed his fist.

Among the five people on the stage, there is still Xiaolei who is in the middle...

In case she happens to be...

Do not……

Kong Zhe shook his head hurriedly, thinking how could it not be such a coincidence...

Besides, Xiaolei's luck has always been too good. Even Xiaoyu said that she is favored by the god of luck. Therefore, in this kind of probability game, she should be the least likely to be selected.

Although he was so comforted in his heart, he still looked at the stage nervously, and he couldn't help but take two steps. He was standing behind Lei Yun, but now he had passed him and walked to the front of the crowd.

"Tsk, these women all look alike..."

In the stands, Wen Yao stared at the five people around, and finally scratched his head in distress.

It doesn't matter that the five people in front of them are dressed similarly, and they all wear veils, covering three-quarters of their faces with hats on their heads.It was so tightly covered that nothing could be seen.

If it's just this, it's fine, the height and body shape of the key people are all carved out of the same mold.

In this way, let him choose, choose a hair!In his opinion, these are five replicas. Isn't it the same whoever is chosen?

What's more, everyone present knows that this so-called wedding is just a show, and even if this kind of woman really marries back, she will be sent to the laboratory.There is still a tigress at home, how dare he really fail?
But at any rate, the Palace Master sent a special message to choose carefully, to give face to the people of Zuhu God Palace.So he had to linger in front of several people for a few more times, until he felt that the time was almost up, then he pretended to turn around and bowed his hands to the hall master.

"Mother, I'm really sorry, I still can't make a decision, but to put it bluntly, this kind of thing depends on fate, so it's better to leave it to God to decide what to do!"

"Oh?"

The hall master was noncommittal: "What are you going to do?"

"Just let it choose!"

Wen Yao smiled, and with a wave of his hand, there was a disc like a gambling table on the ground, on which five even areas were divided with thin red lines.

"From left to right, it represents one to five in turn, and the ball will be chosen according to the number it lands on!"

He was playing with a round iron ball in his other hand, turned around and walked back until he came to his seat.

Without looking at it, he casually threw the iron ball behind him.

But what was incredible was that after the iron ball was shot, it seemed to have eyes. It was impartial, and it just fit into the opening on the top of the disc, and then began to rotate around the disc quickly under the action of inertia.

Probably due to the greater force, the bead obviously won't be able to stop in a short while.

After Wen Yao threw the iron ball, as if he had completed the task, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on his seat, not bothering to move anymore.As for the results in the disc, he didn't bother to care about it!He had already pulled the fruit plate from the table and peeled the orange leisurely.

Beside him, the King of Taurus, who had been sitting with his hands folded on his chest like a mountain, finally opened his eyes at this moment, saw his indifferent appearance, and couldn't help frowning.

"You don't care about the result at all?"

"Heh, who cares about it, whoever you love..."

In this regard, the man just raised his head and threw a piece of orange into his mouth from time to time.

"Speaking of which, where did Qianqiu go?"

The man turned his head and looked around, but he still didn't see the figure he wanted to see.

……

"Meimei, tell me first, what will be the result of this time?"

Seeing that the iron ball would not be able to stop for a while, the Hall Master took the opportunity to ask the girl beside him.

On the side, Xiaoyu also hastily pricked up her ears.

This operation is quite dangerous for these young girls who have no actual combat experience. She is very concerned about the personnel selected at first, because this may be the only one who will be sacrificed.

Meimei didn't speak, but just stared at the square disc dully, her eyes following the beads in the disc and turning left and right.

After a while, the girl seemed to see something, opened her mouth slightly, and spit out a word softly.

"...number two."

number two...is...

Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at several people, and her heart skipped a beat.

According to the ranking at this time, the one in the second position...

——It happened to be Xiaolei!

No...it's such a coincidence...

Among these few people, Xiaolei was the one she least wanted to see being selected.

This is not only because she has not received any training, but also has a poor understanding of the organization, and she has almost no self-protection power in danger.

More importantly, she belongs to His Highness!

This time, I came here accepting His Highness's expectations, and promised to take her out safely in the end.

What's more, this matter is actually a grievance between Loki and the temple, and it is up to their locals to resolve it, and Xiaolei is actually completely innocently involved.

So, no matter from that aspect, she didn't want Xiaolei to be selected.

"Oh, number two..."

The hall master looked at the square disc, and suddenly smiled at Xiaoyu: "Then, please look forward to it, and see if our prophet's ability is true..."

The sound of rolling iron balls was connected together, and many people around the venue were involuntarily drawn by it.

Of course, most of them just watched the excitement, and only a few of them really cared about the results.

The Palace Master in the stands, Xiaoyu, and Kong Zhe and Lei Yun on the sidelines all fixed their gazes on Yuanpan.

In order to be fair, the hall master even stretched out his hand to lay down a simple barrier to prevent any ability from interfering with the rolling of the iron ball.
