From the emergence of the forbidden area to the present, people have been thinking about the reasons for its emergence, but few people have thought about the significance of its emergence. It was not until recently that some people began to think about this issue.
If we simply regard the emergence of the restricted area as a disaster, then of course it is a matter of course. No one will deny this. The emergence of the restricted area has taken away a large number of lives. Death once became the main theme of this world until
Today is no exception.
But if you think about it from another angle, for example, if you think of the restricted area as a process of accelerating human evolution, then it is also feasible. Most of the people still alive in the world today are extraordinary beings with considerable strength, and only a small number of them are unknown beings.
Captivated in urban areas.
Compared with the beginning of the restricted area, the remaining number of humans is less than one-tenth of the number at that time, but it is obvious that the remaining people are enough to easily sweep away the nine-tenths who died.
Natural selection is a very long process, and the emergence of restricted areas has undoubtedly accelerated the selection process to a great extent. Considering that the gods will inevitably come, although the latter is cruel, humans do have more chances than before.
Live.
——But now is obviously not the time to debate the pros and cons of the restricted area.
Regardless of whether the restricted area is a positive screening process for humans, at least one thing is certain - they must not easily hand over their fate to the beings behind the restricted area.
Xue Hongyu stopped the people arguing in the audience and said: "There is no point in discussing these now, but I have said it more than once before, our opportunities are indeed in the restricted area, and all restricted areas are like copies of the game to us
, where we will quickly become stronger."
He Shang scratched his bald head and said thoughtfully: "Is it because the power extracted from the sealed beings in the restricted area will also act on us?"
"Not only that, killing creatures in the restricted area will also bring us "experience points", including various taboo sequences in the restricted area, various extraordinary items that can bring us significant improvements... These will all be our help
.”
Xue Hongyu said, "In other words, there is no way to improve our strength faster than exploring the restricted area, and once we control the restricted area, it will also be easier for us to better understand the conditions of the sealed ones, so clearing the restricted area is imperative.
OK."
Everyone thought for a moment and worried: "But what if the restricted area we entered happened to be unsealed by the gods? By then we might not just be killed, and maybe the gods could also use this to learn about our situation.
..."
His worries are not unfounded.
But Xue Hongyu seemed very calm: "The human condition has been exposed for a long time. Otherwise, what do you think the meaning of those taboo spokesmen is? There must be people who work for the gods in these years, such as the Dai who appeared in Jiye City
A man wearing rose earrings."
Everyone feels a little heavy. It’s just that they are not as strong as the other party. Now even the information is not equal. Our own information is completely transparent, but they don’t even know what a god is...
Xue Hongyu continued: "But there is actually nothing to worry about. After all, no matter how much the gods know about us, their power is beyond our ability to compete. This cannot be easily compensated for in terms of intelligence."
Hearing this, the representatives of the major forces in the audience immediately looked at each other in confusion. It sounded like they were trying to comfort them, but after hearing this, they felt even more uncomfortable...
"and……"
However, Xue Hongyu's voice suddenly paused and said meaningfully, "I know that everyone present has hidden power and means. Even the parliament cannot easily find out this kind of thing, and it must be even less likely for the gods to know about it, so let's just say this
It can be regarded as a backup plan."
After a moment of silence, one person smiled bitterly and said: "We did hide something, but that probably doesn't mean anything to the gods, right?"
"At least it's better than nothing."
Xue Hongyu didn't say much, and seemed to glance at the two people in Huangquan casually.
Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters and ask if the council had any powerful trump card, but seeing Xue Hongyu's behavior, they had no choice but to give up the idea.
At this moment, Xue Hongyu suddenly said: "In short, everyone knows the basic situation. Next is the most important thing in this meeting, and it is your turn to participate."
As soon as these words came out, many people looked solemn and ashamed - although today was a meeting, it was actually Xue Hongyu who was speaking on the stage. They were just listening below, and it was of no use at all.
But there was nothing they could do. The information the other party said was more shocking than the last. They didn't even have time to calm down. Their minds were so confused, let alone putting forward their own opinions.
However, this was the first time that Xue Hongyu's tone had become so serious. They thought that what he said next would definitely be a very important matter. They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that what they said next would not be worse news.
"There will be a vote next."
However, under everyone's gaze, Xue Hongyu slowly said this.
"vote?"
Lu Zhan felt something in his heart. For some reason, he seemed to suddenly know what Xue Hongyu wanted to say next.
As expected, Xue Hongyu said solemnly: "I need you to make a decision about how to deal with the tomb keeper."
The air was quiet for a moment.
Everyone was confused and asked suspiciously, why did it suddenly involve the tombkeeper again?
But not everyone was confused, some people soon understood——
In fact, these people had been a little confused before, but Xue Hongyu bypassed this problem and continued to explain about the dayless hell.
Chen Yin was thoughtful and suddenly said: "I just wanted to say it, Dr. Xue, did you say that a god appeared in Pingping Paradise? And Pingping Paradise has been completely destroyed. If that god escapes, then the world will
It is impossible that there is no news about the other party. Even if it is not as sensational as the destruction of Jiye City, the news should be inevitable."
Some people are relatively slow and did not realize this at the time, but after hearing Chen Yin's words, they immediately reacted and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"So the god probably isn't out of trouble, right?"
Chen Yin continued, "And if you follow your previous inference, Dr.
The possibility of death seems to be higher."
Everyone’s pupils suddenly shrank——
The god... was killed?
Xue Hongyu did not deny it and said calmly: "Your judgment is very accurate. With such a person at the helm, it is no wonder that Xinhai Group moves faster than most people."
She seemed to mean something.
From the series of words of Xue Hongyu from the beginning to the present, it is not difficult to tell that the Parliament seems to have a very good understanding of the human forces in this world. Although they have been hiding for a long time, they have not given up spying on the world.
Chen Yin said seriously: "One thing must be corrected. I am not yet the helmsman of Xinhai Group. Even if I am, I only became the leader recently... In short, the good development of the group in the past was entirely due to my father and others."
At such a critical moment, he actually focused on such an insignificant matter, which makes people wonder whether he did it intentionally.
Just like this, someone asked curiously: "It seems that you know who the person who killed the god is. Is this related to the tombkeeper?"
"certainly."
Chen Yin said firmly, "It's a coincidence that our people were also in Equality Paradise at the time. Although they were all wiped out in the end, fortunately we got some news... In fact, you have all heard this news, that is
The Pingding Paradise incident is related to the tombkeeper."
"Gods and gravekeepers, wouldn't it be obvious if you think about this for a while? The existence that kills the gods is the gravekeeper - am I right, Dr. Xue?"
Xue Hongyu nodded and said, "That's right."
Another piece of news that caught people off guard.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Someone asked anxiously: "In that case, the tomb keeper is the keeper."
Are you the guard of Equality Paradise?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, he was rebutted by others: "Have you read the information carefully? The Gravekeeper is an S-level forbidden sequence. The biggest feature is that he can enter and exit the restricted area at will, and he also has his own restricted area.
Cemetery of the Dead Country, how can a guy like this be the guard of Equality Paradise?"
Although there is not much information about the tomb keeper, at least the known parts are not considered secrets now. As long as you know a little bit, you can know the details.
"But since he is not a guard, but he has the ability to kill gods, and the key is that he can enter and exit the restricted area at will... then can it be said that the tomb keeper is the one who created the restricted area?"
As soon as this question was raised, there was a sudden silence in the conference room.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Yin suddenly said impatiently: "Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? Even if the existence of the forbidden area is not created, the tomb keeper must have a deep connection with the forbidden area, so the question arises -
—"
"The Forbidden Zone can seal gods, and judging from various manifestations, the Forbidden Zone's attitude towards humans is ambiguous. However, there are many human corpses buried underneath, and the stance is extremely unclear."
"Therefore, as a gravekeeper who has a deep connection with the restricted area, his position is equally difficult to judge - since his appearance, the gravekeeper does not seem to have carried out large-scale killings, but he will not spare a hand against humans.
, and even the creatures in the restricted area are afraid of him... His position is even more ambiguous than the restricted area itself, and it is difficult to determine whether he is an enemy or a friend."
After the words fell, Yan looked at him deeply and said, "It sounds like you have deliberately understood the tombkeeper."
He Shang put his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "I am very interested in things that cannot be touched."
He Shang glanced at him and murmured: "So the significance of this vote..."
"That's right."
Xue Hongyu took over his words, "This vote is to determine how we should deal with the tombkeepers."
Where... to deal with the tomb keeper?
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. One person blurted out: "Are you kidding? That's a guy who can kill gods. Who are we to think about how to deal with him?"
Xue Hongyu glanced at the speaker: "We have received reliable information that the tombkeeper is now in a weak state and is not unstoppable, so what you have to do now is very simple, that is, vote."
When everyone looked at each other, Lu Zhan suddenly stood up, not caring about the eyes of others, and asked: "What are the voting options?"
"There are three options."
"First, let it go and don't have anything to do with the tombkeeper."
"The second is to try to have friendly negotiations with him and get the information we want from him."
"The third is to take advantage of the gravekeeper's weakness to bring him back for questioning."
Lu Zhan frowned and said immediately: "The first option is obviously impossible. Since the tombkeeper is so important, it means that we must start with him... But no matter how we think about it, we should only need the second option.
That’s just an option, right? Negotiate first. If there’s no other way, it’s not too late to think of a way to take action.”
Everyone nodded quickly. It was indeed true. To put it bluntly, it was a question of courtesy first and then fighting. The gravekeeper was obviously a being who could communicate and was powerful. It was impossible to attack him without saying anything. There was no need to do such a thing.
What to vote for?
baffling……
However, Xue Hongyu shook his head and said: "You have made a mistake. Inquiring is not the purpose. The focus is on how to control the power of the tombkeeper."
"After learning that the tomb keeper is suspected of having the ability to kill gods, we actually have only two choices now - one is to try to negotiate with him and believe that his power can be used for us; the other is to take advantage of the situation.
Bring it back when it is weak and force this power into our hands."
Everyone was silent after hearing this.
To simply translate Xue Hongyu's words, you can either try to express goodwill to this guy who has a very unclear position and hope that both parties will become friends; or you can take advantage of the other party's weakness to put shackles on him and force him to take this power as his own.
use.
-- that's what they need to vote on.
This is indeed a question worth thinking about. After a while, one person suggested: "I think the first option is safer. After all, if you attack the tomb guard rashly, it may cause a lot of trouble. If you force him completely
It will be over when we reach the opposite side."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately retorted: "Those who are not from my race must have different thoughts. What if the corpse under the restricted area is related to the tomb keeper? We can't see through his purpose, even if he is really
They are willing to negotiate with us, and they are just trying to help us!"
Everyone in the conference room immediately started a heated debate.
Yan glanced at Xue Hongyu on the stage and saw that he was silent at the moment, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
——She had clearly told this woman last night that the tombkeepers were human beings, but when someone just said the words "Those who are not of my race must have different minds", she actually did not correct it on the spot...
He Shang seemed to have guessed her thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to tell me?"
"No." Yan retracted her gaze and shook her head. "Although I don't know what this woman is thinking, she should have her own considerations... But as for the issue of tombkeepers, I think the council has already made a choice. I didn't expect it.
And voting..."
She looked at the people arguing in the conference room and sighed, "To be honest, this issue is indeed a bit difficult to decide."
He Shang looked suspicious: "You also find it difficult to make a decision?"
This woman's buttocks were on the side of the tombkeeper in the underworld, so she would still feel embarrassed at this time?
"Of course not, I will not be an enemy of the tomb keeper." Yan calmly said.
He Shang knew that this woman would say this, and before he could complain in his heart, he saw the other woman suddenly look at him with a cold look: "What about you, what is your choice?"
This time, the two of them came to the meeting as representatives of Huang Quan. Although Yan had the upper hand, she still planned to ask He Shang for his opinion.
After all, although she can observe the future, she is not sure whether her choice is correct. As expected, today's decision will inevitably affect the future, and she needs to be responsible for Huang Quan.
"Of course I listen to you, my opinion is not important anyway..."
After thinking for a moment, He Shang said casually, "Besides, I have dealt with the tombkeeper a few times. How should I put it... I don't think he is a bad person?"
In fact, if I have to say it, the tombkeeper saved him once. A certain guy still regards the other person as his brother. If possible, he certainly doesn't want to take action against the tombkeeper.
Not like a bad guy...
Yan did not laugh at his ridiculous choice of words, and said calmly: "Then just listen to me, but when others ask, they will say it was your suggestion."
"You agreed."
He Shang yawned. Anyway, the other Yamas in Huangquan knew very well that although they didn't know what Yan, a woman, was thinking about most of the time, she was definitely close to the tomb keeper and could tell it with her toes.
Whose decision is it?
but……
Even if the final result of the vote is to bring the tombkeeper back while he is in a weak state, are the people present really willing to take action against the tombkeeper?
The Tomb Keeper is definitely an extremely dangerous existence. Even if he is in a weak state now, if he attacks him rashly, he will probably pay extremely heavy casualties. And whether he can think of a way to force the power of the Tomb Keeper to be used by humans is completely unclear.
Unknown, after all, those guys in Dongyang City have done similar things before, but they did not achieve any results...
Thinking like this, He Shang couldn't help but turn his head and look at Lu Zhan and Xu Han not far away on the right.
It seems that these two people came to the meeting with different identities, which means that they each have a ticket. Lu Zhan will probably make the same choice as them, but I don’t know how the girl will choose...
He then looked at Xue Hongyu, who had fallen silent on the stage. Her long bangs covered her eyes, making it difficult to see her eyes clearly.
Such a vote suddenly happened, Xue Hongyu... No, what on earth was the parliament thinking?
