Chapter 227 The Awakening of the World (6,000 words)
"What happened?"
When Xiao Xiao stood quietly on the edge of the city and looked forward, the people behind him also caught up. They all looked at the flying bloodshot threads on the edge of the city in front of them with surprise and uncertainty, and at the hole outside the torn wound.
Misty, they had just seen Yang Jia's back, but they were a little unsure in their hearts. Xiao Xiao had called them over before, but he only said that something was going on, not that it was related to Yang Jia.
The most important thing is, how could that person be Yang Jia?
Although Yang Jia is not from Black Gate City, she is more reliable than anyone in Black Gate City...
Amidst the confusion, the buildings on both sides that had melted into flesh and blood were slowly healing and returning to their original state. Mr. Ye's projection had obviously reached this direction of the city, but he remained silent. He seemed to have understood something.
"Someone attacked Black Gate City."
Faced with everyone's surprise, Xiao Xiao remained silent for a while and then whispered: "Yang Jia is under their control."
"What?"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this.
There are many different strengthening elements for Strangers, and there are many ways to control people.
Even Ruanruan now has mastered the method of controlling people in addition to his violent power.
However, with Yang Jia being so powerful, how many people can control her?
Furthermore...
Someone has controlled Yang Jia and even fought against the president. Does this mean that someone is an enemy of Black Gate City?
Who dares to provoke Black Gate City now? The world-famous Hell Forbidden City, Ye Di City, was defeated by the president alone and was unable to fight back. After the previous gambling fight, Black Gate City’s
The foundation has also skyrocketed, and the power is developing rapidly. According to the current momentum, I am afraid that it will soon be restored to the scale when the old president was there, or even exceed the scale at that time...
Who would choose to offend Black Gate City at this time?
"Don't worry, he's not a powerful person, he just needs some thought."
Xiao Xiao thought a lot in his mind-explosion state, but did not say anything directly to them. He just nodded lightly. Now he needs a certain amount of time to sort it out. Telling them these things in advance may cause unrest.
Necessary panic.
"Don't influence the president."
At this time, a dull-looking Aboriginal man next to him suddenly slowly raised his head and looked at everyone.
As soon as everyone reacted, they knew that it was Mr. Ye who had projected onto him. They saw him take a deep look at Xiao Xiao and then said to everyone: "Now go back and stay alert. People above the lord level are waiting for the president at any time.
We are also thinking about the call of Noah and the Noah plan. Perhaps, we will soon have to face the issue of making this important choice..."
Everyone listened and looked at each other in confusion.
Originally, all affairs in Black Gate City were indeed arranged by Mr. Ting Ye and Yang Jia.
But now Xiao Xiao has become famous and his strength has increased rapidly. Especially after he won the bet with the Hell Organization, he has gradually developed a great prestige in Black Gate City. When he was present
Whenever possible, I subconsciously followed his instructions.
"Just listen to Mr. Ye's arrangements."
Xiao Xiao was also a little upset at this time, but he just waved his hands lazily.
After a pause, he added: "If you are really in a hurry and have nothing to do, you can go to the bar and wait for me first."
Everyone nodded, but no one left.
Xiao Xiao already knew that there was no point in staying here anymore. He turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something. He turned around and walked towards Yang Jia's white SUV parked on the roadside. This car was Yang Jia's favorite, but
After the fight just now, the car door was knocked off by her, and a hole was torn out in the roof of the car by Yang Jia, but it was her car after all, so she still had to drive it back for her.
Fortunately, there was no problem with the driving system. Xiao Xiao turned the car around and drove straight to the bar.
On the way, I tilted my head and saw the mint-flavored cigarette that Yang Jia had left in the car, so I picked it up and lit one silently.
An upset, even irritable mood suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.
"Hi la la..."
A series of noises suddenly sounded from the car's audio system. After a while, Mr. Ye's electronic music sounded softly in the car.
"Did Yang Jia betray?"
"..."
"There is no betrayal."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "I told you, she was just being controlled."
Thinking of Yang Jia's expression when he left just now, he became increasingly upset and said, "You didn't notice the problem in advance?"
"Can't notice it."
Mr. Ye said: "I once concealed some things, which caused dissatisfaction with Miss Yang Jia. Later, we both made peace, but her condition was that I was not allowed to look at her at will, so I will only know after you remind me."
of."
"There are three people in Black Gate City who are good at spying, but they were not able to guard against this change..."
There was some dissatisfaction in Xiao Xiao's voice.
There is Mr. Ye who seems to be everywhere in Heimen City, there is Lao Zhou who is good at intelligence work, and he is a fourth-stage observer. But under such a situation, Yang Jia quietly...
Being controlled without anyone being able to detect it made the depression in his heart soar, and even gave rise to strong resentment based on this emotion.
"That's not the power of our level of life."
Mr. Ye explained softly: "The connection between the branded person and the mysterious source is above all else, so even the city we are in cannot prevent that kind of power from coming to Yang Jia. Mr. Xiao, you don't have to do this either."
And blame yourself.”
"None of that matters."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said slowly: "The important thing is how to rescue Yang Jia."
"You know more than me, don't you know of any way to rescue the controlled Branded One?"
"..."
When I usually talk to Mr. Ye, he can always give the answer immediately.
Even if there is a slight pause, it is just a mistake in tone and a way of expression.
But this time, Xiao Xiao felt that he actually paused for a long time before whispering: "There is no way, Mr. Xiao."
"Whether you call it a mysterious source, the will of the city, or even the mother body among the aborigines, that kind of existence is far beyond our level. It can even be understood that they are
Gods, and we strangers are all believers of gods, imprinters, and a kind of fanatic believer who will never betray. Her relationship with the mysterious source..."
"...a mysterious connection that transcends any level."
"Just like those who can sacrifice their relatives for their so-called gods."
"How can we save God's fanatic followers from the hands of God?"
"..."
"There must be a way!"
Following Mr. Ye's answer, Xiao Xiao's voice suddenly became louder.
Yang Jia said before that there was no way, and now Mr. Ye also said that there was no way, which made him suddenly feel faintly angry.
In contrast, Mr. Ye did not answer.
He could feel Xiao Xiao's suppressed anger at this moment, but he couldn't give an answer.
And Xiao Qi kept driving silently. This SUV, which was missing a door and had a sunroof on the roof, attracted the attention of passers-by, but Xiao Xiao turned a blind eye and just stepped on the accelerator silently, passing by.
For a long time, for a long time.
He seemed to have figured out something and said softly: "At least, the mysterious source can be killed, right?"
Mr. Ye did not answer for a long time, as if he was also shocked by the words.
After a while, he slowly answered: "According to legend, the Hell Organization has records of killing mysterious sources. The Dante Organization also once captured a mysterious source. However, you should understand one thing. Between the mysterious sources,
, is also very different. There are many mysterious sources in the foggy sea, some of which are very weak, but the one behind Yang Jia is..."
"It goes without saying."
Xiao Xiao tightened his lips and said slowly: "As long as you can kill him."
…
…
When he drove the car back to the bar, Lin Bo and others also rushed over. They were not restricted by the lord contract, so they got the news later. Now they must have known about Yang Jia being controlled.
With an extremely nervous expression, he faced Xiao Xiao and said, "Yang Jia's strength is well-known in the Dante organization, especially as she is a powerful brander..."
"...As far as I know, there are very few people who can control her!"
"..."
"We'll talk about it later, I need to look up some things."
Xiao Xiao interrupted Lin Bo and went straight upstairs to his office.
He sat on the sofa for a while, rubbed his face heavily, and then slowly breathed out. He quickly came to the desk, opened the previous website with the information card, and saw the densely packed, various
Various irrigation stickers, etc.
Directly index keywords such as "imprinter" and browse quickly.
The results were disappointing. In this forum where foreigners gathered, some people tried to analyze the advantages of imprints, some wanted to classify them, and some compared the strength and growth coordinates between imprinted people and ordinary strangers. However,
, there is no answer on how to save the Branded One. Everyone agrees that the Branded One cannot betray his own god...
However, there are very few posts of this type.
Because the branded ones often don't need to try to betray or anything else.
The vast majority of branded people may not be directly summoned by the mysterious source from birth to death. Even if they are, it is a good thing. It is just a mysterious instruction. Just complete it and you can get generous rewards for it.
.
Those who are branded cannot betray, as if it has become an iron law.
But Xiao Xiao was not willing to give in. He closed the forum and immediately found some things.
This is the document bag that the shepherd just gave himself. It contains his own documents and a lot of relevant information.
For example, the login method of the Black Forest database and personal ID.
At the same time that Xiao Xiao logged into the highly confidential database according to the above statement, in the new address of the Black Goat Club, a busy and huge office that had just been moved and put into use, there was suddenly a harsh sound.
The alarm bell rang, and in the flashing red light, rows of staff sitting in front of computers suddenly looked shocked: "He logged in."
"So fast?"
Even the shepherd holding the red wine glass in the secret corner on the open second floor of the office was surprised.
Immediately ordered: "Look what he is looking for."
"The Brander..."
Soon someone reported: "He is looking for information using the keyword "Branded One".
"...It seems that he wants to know how to rescue the Branded One!"
"..."
"Why does it have to be this one?"
The shepherd couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his face hardened: "I even reminded him specifically just now..."
"Is the problem serious?"
The man in a suit next to him, or Mr. Wild Dog, the senior investigator of the Black Forest, couldn't help but look at him worriedly.
The shepherd nodded slowly and said: "My conversation with him can be said to be very successful. Although I can see that he hates me deeply in his heart, and indeed he has no ambition to take the initiative to save the world, but after all, I
Let him understand that we can help him, but in this case, it is very important for him to ask us for help for the first time, which represents our value..."
"If we can't show our value, how can we start talking about future cooperation?"
"..."
Mr. Wild Dog was also stunned for a moment, only to realize that this problem was simply unsolvable.
Are we really valuable to strangers?
"bell……"
At this moment, the phone in the shepherd's hand suddenly rang, and everyone immediately looked at him.
Only one person can make this call.
The shepherd stared at the ringing landline and was silent for a while. He put down the red wine glass in his hand, threw the cigar into the ashtray, and rubbed his face. The moment he picked up the phone, his expression changed.
Changed to a relaxed and confident look:
"Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect to be able to talk to you again so soon."
"..."
"I have a question for you."
Xiao Xiao's voice sounded very straightforward: "How can we rescue a branded person who is controlled by a mysterious source?"
"...Can't be saved."
The shepherd's mind was spinning at this moment. He wanted to make a fool of himself, but at the last moment, he decided to respond with the truth:
"This question is like me asking you, how to rescue a stranger from the mother's body?"
"The problem of the Branded One is essentially the same as this problem, but it is deeper and more unsolvable..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath.
From his reaction, the shepherd could actually hear his deep pressure and faint anger.
When I was talking to him just now, he didn't show such a strong reaction the whole time. Even when he talked about some key issues, he would only show a slight dissatisfaction. At most, he would just shoot himself to vent his anger. But
Now……
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao just took a breath and his voice sounded again:
"So, do you have any good suggestions about hunting the mysterious source?"
"..."
The shepherd was startled for a moment, and then an excited smile slowly began to appear on his face.
…
…
Everyone in Black Gate City felt uneasy after seeing Yang Jia's leaving figure. Although Mr. Ye said they could go back, because they couldn't understand the situation and had many speculations in their hearts, they all gathered together in unison.
When we arrived at Xiao Xiao's Bingshan Bar, we each sat on one side, waiting silently among the monsters and perverts carousing around them.
It wasn't until an hour later that Xiao Si came over and said that President Xiao asked them to go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, after they walked into the office, they saw Xiao Xiao, whose face was not as gloomy as before, but with a vague smile. However, this smile was much better than Xiao Xiao's expressionless face.
face, it looks even more scary...
"You've probably already guessed it."
Xiao Xiao said: "The person who controls Yang Jia is not an organization or an individual."
"But...a mysterious source."
"..."
"Mysterious source?"
There was a roar and chaos all around, and even Ruan Ruan's face suddenly turned pale.
"Why would such a superior being control Yang Jia?"
"Has she received a mysterious order? Maybe we can help Yang Jia achieve this goal, so that she can be free."
"What is the purpose of the mysterious source?"
"..."
"It doesn't matter what its purpose is."
Xiao Xiao looked up at everyone and said, "I just want to tell you my plan."
"After such a period of preparation, I have decided to implement the plan left by the old president..."
"..."
Seeing everyone's expressions becoming a little confused, Xiao Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry yet, I know that one million points sounds scary, and it doesn't seem like a goal that is really promising to achieve, but fortunately, after so long, I
After a period of preparation, I also learned a way to save a little points. Through this method, maybe the Noah plan will be easier than imagined."
Everyone was dumbfounded, except for Ling Ping, who had red eyes, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart: "What?"
"Hunting the mysterious source."
Xiao Xiao looked at everyone and suddenly smiled and said: "Use its bones to make the skeleton of our big ship."
“This way, you can save a lot of points!”
"..."
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and countless eyes fell on Xiao Xiao's face, which seemed a little blurry.
I don’t know how long it took before someone suddenly spoke in a trembling voice. The speaker was Old Zhou under the bridge: "Hunting for the mysterious source..."
"...You, are you serious?"
"..."
Next to him, Lin Bo, who insisted on relying on the reason that he was Yang Jia's colleague, came in to join the meeting, his expression was also stunned:
"The mysterious source you are talking about, doesn't it mean... the one behind Yang Jia?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao nodded, with a smile, looked at Lao Zhou under the bridge, and said with a smile: "Do you think I am joking?"
There was a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
At the end of the day, the faint anger in his heart had begun to burn his heart. He could even feel that with the beating of his heart, the entire Black Gate City seemed to begin to resonate with some kind of faint resonance.
Yang Jia's face kept flashing through her mind, and Yang Jia's expression as she spoke to her before leaving flashed across her mind. At that time, she was like everyone else, feeling that she was hopeless, right?
But her last thought was to convince herself that she must look for hope.
I am too narrow-minded...
In my own eyes, this plan may still have many problems, and I even cannot believe it from the bottom of my heart.
But in Yang Jia's eyes, this is her only hope...
...then execute it!
Xiao Xiao's pupils shrank slightly and the corners of his mouth pursed: in the bloodiest way.
When the shepherd first told himself about hunting the mysterious source, he felt panicked and unbelievable.
but……
...Who told you to provoke her!
She said there was no other way and told herself not to hold back next time. However, she picked up the cigarette again in front of her. Was she warning herself or asking for help?
This change in his heart made his heart beat heavier and heavier. The city was full of pressure, and just two floors below, in the noisy bar, the record player's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if it was sharp.
The blade cut everyone's eardrums.
At home and in the neighbor's yard, three vicious dogs got up a little manically for some unknown reason.
Walk around the yard.
At the end of the street, the butcher stood up with a cry, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
And diagonally across from Xiao Xiao's yard, behind the window with white curtains, a slender shadow quietly looked at the silent city, watching it sometimes turn into flesh and blood all over the sky, and sometimes turn into flesh and blood.
A dark and silent city.
Then, she made a "chi" sound and laughed.
…
…
At the same time, when Xiao Xiao informed everyone of his decision to hunt down the mysterious source, Yang Jia was in a sea of dense fog. She was sitting on a bloody mountain of bones, next to a boat made of countless corpses.
The ship, this pirate organization in the foggy sea, was obviously not so lucky. They met her who had left Black Gate City, and even wanted to take her on the ship...
...So, Yang Jia boarded the ship, but the pirates became part of the ship.
Yang Jia just sat quietly on the pile of bones, watching the ship digest the corpses, her eyes like a mist.
"Buzz..."
After an unknown amount of time, a vague doorframe-like shadow suddenly appeared next to Yang Jia, dozens of meters below the pile of bones. A man wearing camouflage clothing and military boots walked out of the door.
Look calmly to the left and right.
When he saw Yang Jia, he didn't say hello, he just grinned.
Know each other's identities.
And then, another door appeared, then the second door, the third door, the seventeenth door...
More and more people appeared, and they were so densely packed that no one knew each other's identities, but they all heard the mysterious call, and then passed through the door that had been following them for a long time, and came to this mysterious place.
He saw a companion who was the same as himself, a branded person who worshiped the same mysterious source, and was ready to carry out the order that came from the deepest part of his subconscious mind.
An army was quickly established in just a few minutes.
Yang Jia had been watching the appearance of these people with cold eyes, seemingly not paying attention, and only raised his head after a long time.
In front of her, a door also appeared, which was far more solid and profound than the others.
Through this door, Yang Jia could see that there was a deep river looming behind the door, and a tall and skinny shadow.
And this shadow hanging in front of him, his palm as pale as bone.
"Why must we kill him?"
Yang Jia looked at the shadow behind the door and said softly: "You even didn't hesitate to summon all the branded ones?"
"Is it because of the fourth element in him?"
"..."
"No……"
The shadow behind the door slowly opened its mouth, as if it had eyes looking at this twisted world through the door.
"Because of……"
"...The world is beginning to wake up!"
P.S. I recommend my friend Xinyi’s "The Demons Have Been Subdued, Why Do We Talk About Martial Arts"? I strongly recommend that those who like Liaozhai stories take a look. The protagonist writes Liaozhai in the world of Liaozhai, which is relaxing and cheerful!
