Volume 1, Chapter 76, His Excellency the Dian, who is not in a hurry
"Your Excellency Si Dian, I am Liu Xiao."
Liu Xiao stood up again and responded.
"You've worked hard these past few days."
Liu Xiao was overwhelmed by Si Dian's sudden concern and could only reply: "Si Dian's words are serious."
Unexpectedly, Si Dian continued to speak: "I have an unkind request. I don't know if you can agree to it, but I can agree to any request you have."
Liu Xiao did not answer the call.
He is not stupid. The other party is Si Dian, the person with the highest status in the entire Shishen Kingdom. What can't he do? Even if he can't do it, as long as he is released, countless people will do it for him. But now he asks for help for the first time when they meet.
Helping yourself is never a good thing, let alone making such a big promise.
However, as Liu Xiao was on the inspection team and a direct subordinate of the temple, it was difficult for him to refuse directly. He was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
I still don’t interact with many people in my daily life. I used to sit alone in the studio, and it was common for me not to communicate with people for ten and a half months. I still don’t know enough about the ways of the world.
"You don't want to?" Si Dian asked when Liu Xiao remained silent. There was no blame in his tone, but there was a strong sense of oppression.
"No, this junior dare not agree."
Si Dian smiled, walked slowly to the top of the circular hall, and sat down on the only large seat made of gold.
The seat was too far up, so the light could only illuminate his lower body, while his upper body was hidden in the darkness.
Si Dian raised his hand to indicate that a waiter turned on all the lights, making the entire annular hall light up, and his face came into Liu Xiao's sight again.
"You are quite cautious."
As soon as Si Dian finished speaking, Liu Xiao hadn't thought about how to respond, but he saw the team leader stood up and held his heart in his hands and said: "Your Excellency Si Dian, Liu Xiao has only been in the inspection team for more than a month, and he still..."
Unexpectedly, Si Dian directly raised his hand to signal Jiao Ning not to speak: "Time is tight, others should not interrupt, I just want to talk to Liu Xiao."
Jiao Ning said yes and stood still.
Liu Xiao was moved. The team leader wanted to block it for him, but it seemed that Si Dian recognized him now, but he didn't know me originally. It seemed like an accident happened on the way our two groups came over.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Liu Xiao thanked him and sat down after Jiao Ning.
"We have less than ten minutes to talk, Liu Xiao, do you have anything to say?"
There is a feeling of arranging funeral arrangements.
Liu Xiao felt uneasy, thought for a moment and asked, "Why me?"
Si Dian tapped the golden handrail with his fingers. Liu Xiao did not ask what happened that surprised him, but he still replied: "More than a month ago, the two Si Dian officials had their own opinions on whether to let you join the inspection team.
Jiao Ning, the leader of the seventh team, is even willing to use his own wealth and life to guarantee you for this, do you know this?"
And this thing?
Liu Xiao glanced in Jiao Ning's direction and shook his head: "This is the first time I heard about it today."
Jiao Ning said nothing, as if he had nothing to do with the matter. Next to him, Cheng Xun remained motionless.
It wasn't that the two of them were unwilling to mention this matter, but Si Dian had just requested that no one else could interrupt.
Later, Liu Xiao learned from Si Dian what happened at that time. The center issued a prophecy saying that he was not in danger, so the temple stopped paying attention to him. At the same time, the Guihong Sword was also given to him afterwards.
From this it can be seen that the fourth group of Xiao Yu sent soul pets to follow him was indeed his own doing, or it was the request of Weizhao Group, not the temple. Yue Fei didn't know it at the time. After seeing Xiao Yu's soul pets, she thought
It was an order from the temple, so I reminded myself to pay attention.
As for the center, Liu Xiao still knew the weight of it. Since the center was established, for more than a hundred years, except for several major national crises, it has never sent out any information, and it has never made any mistakes.
You have attracted the attention of the prophecy center? What does this mean?
Liu Xiao thought of the man in white, of entering the past to change history, of the pure white world he went to in his dream, and of the giants holding up the heaven and earth and the majestic figures in gorgeous robes he saw.
Maybe it has something to do with these.
"On your way here, the center once again prophesied, this time predicting the destruction of Jinluo City."
Si Dian's voice did not change in emotion, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but the faces of those listening changed drastically. However, since Si Dian had forbidden them to speak before, they could only look at each other and exchange glances.
Liu Xiao thought of the "God Creation Potion", a potion that allows ordinary people to gain extraordinary abilities. Weizhao Group used it to create many extraordinary beings for some unknown purpose. Is it because of this?
But then Si Dian's words made him understand the truth of the matter.
Unexpectedly, Hui Wuyou was sure that the temple would send the fifth group there, but what was the purpose of doing so?
Finally, Si Dian said: "The central prophecy mentioned that only you, Liu Xiao, can stop this."
There was a lot of information, so Liu Xiao digested it and asked what she was most concerned about: "Is my life in danger?"
Si Dian shook his head, and Liu Xiao was a little surprised. There was no danger?
But Si Dian said: "I don't know."
"Then...what should I do?"
Si Dian continued to shake his head: "I don't know."
It was getting more and more ridiculous. Liu Xiao frowned and asked again: "Then what on earth am I going to do?"
Si Dian remained silent and stared at Liu Xiao from a distance, his expression somewhat inexplicably complicated. After more than ten seconds, he slowly spoke: "There are still seven or eight minutes left, and the destruction mentioned in the prophecy will begin. You just have to
If you need to answer me if you are willing to stop it, I can agree to any request you have."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao glanced over and saw expectation, despair, and pleading.
At the same time, he also saw Yue Fei shaking her head slightly to signal his rejection, while team leader Jiao Ning's stern expression did not change at all, as if she did not want to interfere with her decision.
He paid special attention to the members of the seventh group and felt a little relieved. None of Han Qingyi, Hui Heng, Su Gu, and Ye Qu were looking forward to him, and they were unwilling to force him.
"There are still five minutes." Si Dian reminded.
Why should you put this kind of thing on your head?
Liu Xiao was dissatisfied. This kind of thing should be handled by your commander. As the commander, you can't even solve such a problem, so you still need me to do it?
No, no, no, the incident happened suddenly, and Si Dian is not a god, so it is impossible to solve everything...
There was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
A long time passed, perhaps seconds or even minutes, and finally Liu Xiao shook her head.
His goal is to return to his hometown. He doesn't want to die here. Although this goal is a bit far away, there is hope as long as he lives. If he dies, there will be nothing.
Someone in the sixth group got up angrily, pointed at Liu Xiao and scolded him for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and then accused him with righteousness, saying that he didn't care about the lives of the people.
His series of words were so upright that others were moved by him and started to criticize him, with different starting points.
What is cowardly and incompetent, what is selfish, what is repaying kindness with hatred, what is morally corrupt.
Su Gu was so angry that she stood up and faced the people in the sixth group. As soon as she said the word "you", Hui Heng pulled her down and sat down. Her butt fell heavily on the seat. The pain made her want to attack Hui Heng.
, but seeing that the other people in the seventh group looked solemn and silent, they immediately retracted their emotions and stopped talking.
Shou Si Dian slowly raised his arm, flipped his hand and took out a scepter as tall as a person from the air. The adult wrist was thick and blood red, and the top ten lines of different styles outlined the symbols of the ten saints. Among them
Inlaid with gemstones of different colors.
As soon as the thick scepter that symbolized divine power came out, the entire annular hall seemed to have sunk into mud, the air became thicker, the lights seemed to be sucked away and became dim, and everyone's movements slowed down, as if they had been thrown into
In the deep sea, every movement needs to resist huge resistance.
The scepter struck the ground with a thud, and an invisible wave spread out. Several inspectors who scolded Liu Xiao were ejected by the impact, flying all the way to the door of the annular hall, and finally flew out directly from the door.
Listen to the sound of falling to the ground, it was a heavy fall.
Si Dian did not target Liu Xiao, which made Liu Xiao feel a little better, but he did not have the courage to agree to it.
"There are three minutes left." Si Dian said, "I hope you will think about it again. I can promise you anything."
After saying that, he repeated it with emphasis: "Anything!"
"Is there no other solution?" Liu Xiao asked.
"There is a better way, that is to transport the body out of Jinluo City and throw it into the wilderness, but Jinluo City is so big that even one-fifth of Jinluo City cannot escape in half an hour."
Liu Xiao smiled bitterly and murmured: "The outcome is the same whether I agree or not."
"No, the temple is safe. As long as you stay in the temple, you may escape. But everyone else in Jinluo City has only one ending."
"So, either I stay here and live with everyone, or one more of me dies to give hope of saving everyone?"
Si Dian didn't say anything. He could live regardless of whether he was in the temple or not.
Liu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Can I make a request now?"
"Okay, if you succeed, you can mention it again."
What is the difference between a last wish and a wish?
If it fails, the last wish is mentioned now. If it succeeds, the content of the wish is likely to be different.
Liu Xiao looked around and said, "Take good care of the comrades in the seventh group."
Si Dian waited for two seconds: "No more?"
"No, we'll talk about the rest after success."
The door of the annular hall was opened, and a waiter in dark clothes walked in and saluted Si Dian: "Your Excellency Si Dian, there is a message from the prison chief. He has arrived at the scene and has made arrangements."
"It must have cost a lot for him to arrive in half an hour. Got it, let's get down."
"yes."
After the waiter left, Si Dian explained softly to Liu Xiao: "He doesn't know how long he can hold on."
Then he asked: "Have you really thought about it?"
Seeing Si Dian's unhurried look, Liu Xiao felt a little anxious. If he continued speaking, it would be too late.
"If Your Excellency Si Dian asks again, I will regret it."
Si Dian laughed and looked really happy: "If you look at it from a personal perspective, I don't think I have the courage like you. I'm afraid of future generations. Let's go."
As soon as the words "Let's go" came out of his mouth, the scepter in his hands was raised at the same time, and two rays of light appeared out of thin air and fell on himself and Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao only felt the dazzling light, and then his whole body was lifted up. At the same time, Si Dian's instructions to the others came to his ears: "The temple door is closed, you just stay here and don't leave."
Within a few seconds, Liu Xiao felt her feet stepping on the ground, and the surrounding light dissipated into darkness.
Soon my eyes adapted to the dimness, and I saw that I was now on a wide road, with several interlaced tram tracks, and surrounding buildings that reached into the sky, all of which showed how prosperous this place was.
The building in front of us with the words "Weizhao Group" written in large letters indicates its specific location - the fourth group, the headquarters building of Weizhao Group.
In just a few seconds, Si Dian led him from the seventh group of temples to the fourth group!
Why didn't he just move the bodies that were involved in the accident?
The answer should be simple, but of course it can't be done.
However, Liu Xiao was still unhappy.
No one wants to die. This chapter has been completed!
