Chapter 256 Chen Yue, who died suddenly, the confusing truth
Leicheng.
Inn.
Room.
At the round table.
Li Guanqi, Qin Lubai, and Chi Gongming sat together, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Li Guanqi looked at Qin Lubai with disbelief on his face.
Why?
Why did Qin Lubai call him by his name just now?
Does Qin Lubai recognize him?
How is this possible?!
"I……"
Qin Lubai glanced at Li Guanqi with a complicated expression, but said nothing.
The woman in green clothes stood up, walked to Chi Gongming, knelt directly at the old man's feet, and whispered: "Dad, it was Lu'er's fault. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have quarreled with you back then, and I shouldn't have said anything.
You shouldn't say such rebellious words when you are angry..."
"father."
Qin Lubai raised his head and looked at Chi Gongming's old face, his eyes filled with tears, and he couldn't hide the cry in his suppressed voice, "You have aged a lot...your hair has turned white..."
Seeing this, Chi Gongming couldn't help being slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that when they met again, it would be such a harmonious scene.
"You've really grown up."
The white-haired old man raised his hand, gently rubbed Qin Lubai's head, and said with a chuckle: "Of course Dad will grow old, but it's best if you grow up."
……I see.
Li Guanqi watched this scene from the side and suddenly realized.
Oh, no wonder, no wonder at Chi Gongming's age, he adopted Qin Lubai as his adopted daughter and called her daughter, not granddaughter.
Although Chi Gongming looks old and gray-haired now, he should have looked like a middle-aged man more than 20 years ago, and he still retains the red hair of the Chi family.
Although practitioners live long lives, their appearance basically follows one principle.
Phases come from the heart.
If there is no deliberate change, then the practitioner's xinxing will basically be the general appearance.
Suppose a five-element level magician is over 400 years old, but is still as cheerful and optimistic as a naughty child. His external appearance is that of a young man or woman, or even a boy or girl.
Assuming the same conditions, but this person has experienced the vicissitudes of life and feels powerless about everything, he will naturally become an old woman.
And what about Chi Gongming back then?
Come to think of it, Chi Gongming was still very high-spirited and middle-aged in appearance. After saving Qin Lubai, due to his appearance, he was naturally adopted as a daughter, not a granddaughter.
Because at that time, his outstanding grandson Chi Yuanan had not yet died in the battlefield.
Granddaughter-in-law Wang Yanqing has not yet followed in the footsteps of Chi Yuanan, fighting... wait!
Senior sister?!
Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed!
In the strange world, the starting times of the two copies of the warrior route and the magician route are synchronized.
The third copy of Weird World.
[School of Spells] and [Frontier Battlefield].
The start times of these two plot routes are synchronized.
In other words, when he went to the Southern Xinjiang Headquarters, at the Red Blood Fortress on the Daluo border, the 10,000 Red Blood Army led by Wang Yanqing also began to gradually fall into the conspiracy of Chi Yuanning and Chishanhe.
However, there is a timing issue.
Based on the information taken at each ending and the information exchanged with Lin Xianbai, he could know the time situation.
【Spell Academy】Route.
If you have not broken through to the one-dimensional level for more than three years, you will be called out by the teacher to practice, and then you will have a 100% trick death ending. You will die and you will exit the strange world.
[Frontier Battlefield] Route.
Three years later, the southern Xinjiang army suddenly appeared and attacked the Red Blood Fortress. All 10,000 Red Blood troops were wiped out. The ending of be was to die in battle, and the ending to be escaped was he.
The time limit for these two copies is actually three years.
That is, as of New Era 4873!
In the world of those extraordinary warriors who followed the martial arts route, it was basically in New Era 4873 that the Southern Xinjiang army showed up and attacked the 10,000 Red Blood Army, and that Wang Yanqing died in battle.
But Li Guanqi is different!
This is his weird world!
Because his breakthrough speed was too fast, in the summer of 4871, he met the conditions for passing the [Spell Academy] and left the strange world in 4871.
The time of his strange world is fixed at 4871, which is 2 years earlier than the world of most extraordinary beings.
In the simulated world, because Li Guanqi is a magician, Wang Yanqing sent him out for investigation in advance in 4871.
Because of this, the southern Xinjiang army was worried about being discovered by Li Guanqi, a conjurer, so it began to take early action, which eventually led to Wang Yanqing's death in the simulated world in 4871.
But what about actually?
In this strange world of Li Guanqi, when others were staying in southern Xinjiang, where did Wang Yanqing get his confidant, the magician, to send out to investigate?
If she doesn't investigate in advance, the southern Xinjiang army will not take action in advance!
Under normal circumstances, Wang Yanqing would not die in battle until New Era 4873.
And now, in this strange world of Li Guanqi, the time is the late summer of New Era 4871!
Wang Yanqing is not dead yet and can still be saved!
Li Guanqi not only wants to save Qin Lubai, Bai Yang, and the 300,000 people in Leicheng, but he also wants to save senior sister Wang Yanqing and 10,000 Red Blood Army!
He wants to change his destiny against the will of heaven!
Change the fate of 300,000 people in Leicheng and 10,000 Red Blood Army, change the fate of Qin Lubai and Wang Yanqing!
"Bang!"
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi couldn't hide his excitement. He stood up suddenly and knocked down his chair.
"..."
While Li Guanqi was thinking deeply about this matter, Chi Gongming and Qin Lubai basically untied their knots after reminiscing about the past. At this time, seeing his move, the father and daughter looked at each other in confusion.
"Guan Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Chi Gongming said in surprise.
"Senior Chi!"
Li Guanqi looked at Chi Gongming seriously, "We are going to save her! Save Commander Wang Yanqing!"
"Huh??? What, the child will die too?"
Chi Gongming frowned and looked at Li Guanqi with a strange look in his eyes.
...what's going on?
This guy first knew about the father-daughter relationship between him and Lu'er, then claimed that Qin Lubai would die, and explained the cause and effect clearly, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to save his grandson-in-law Wang Yanqing?
"Is your innate magic skill precognition?"
Chi Gongming looked at Li Guanqi with some surprise.
"Senior, just think of me!"
Li Guanqi thought for a while and admitted that maybe this would save some money.
"..."
Chi Gongming was silent for a moment, "Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not rushing." Li Guanqi replied.
If nothing else happens, there are still two years left.
"Then you should talk to Lu'er first."
Chi Gongming stood up and walked towards the door of the guest room, "I can see that you two seem to need some private space."
After that, the old man left the guest room.
"..."
Glancing at the closed door, Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze and looked at the living Qin Lubai next to him. For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, which finally turned into an unspeakable chuckle, "You remember me, remember what we have experienced.
thing, right?"
"This is really..."
Qin Lubai also smiled, "It's so amazing."
Li Guanqi looked emotional.
The simulator always surprises him, but never explains why.
If Qin Lubai still remembers him, it basically means that senior sister Wang Yanqing should also remember him.
"Can you tell me more about it?"
Li Guanqi sat back on his chair and looked at Qin Lubai curiously.
"I don't know what to say either."
Qin Lubai's eyes were complicated and he said softly: "It's like a very real dream. When I saw you at the city gate for the first time, many things came to mind.
I met you in the teahouse, went to a double life and death match with you, entered the Suzaku Fire Pond with you, and then awakened the five-element-level fire eagle, and then killed Bai Yang...
After I parted ways with you, I was arrested by Chen Yue before I had gone far. He told me everything and then killed me so that I could understand clearly.
As for now..."
Qin Lubai lowered his head and looked at his hands, then looked at Li Guanqi in front of him, and chuckled: "You saved me, right? The power of time retrieval? Or is it a natural spell?"
"No."
Li Guanqi sighed softly, "It was you who saved me. If you hadn't missed me before you died, Chen Yue would not have been affected by your remaining will, and I would have been killed by him."
"..."
Qin Lubai's pretty face turned slightly red, and she blinked, looking a little unnatural.
What, what can’t be forgotten...
"This is not a time rewind."
Li Guanqi didn't notice her state. He just walked to the guest room window and looked at the lively scene in Leicheng and the countless people living and working in peace and contentment. He said solemnly: "Just think of it as a prediction, seeing the future in advance.
picture, and now, we want to change the future.”
"By the way, that senior Bai Yang."
Li Guanqi looked back at Qin Lubai and asked with a smile: "Does he still want to kill?"
"ah……"
Qin Lubai covered his face, looking quite annoyed, "I know I was wrong. Killing Bai Yang would have removed the biggest obstacle to Chen Yue. I won't kill him, okay?"
"Aren't you going to avenge yourself?" Li Guanqi asked softly.
"I've killed him once, and...actually, there is no revenge anymore."
Qin Lubai put down his hands and sighed softly, "After dying once, I seemed to feel relieved suddenly. My father was right back then. Bai Yang was not my enemy. In fact, he was just like me... both victims.
The most important thing is that it is enough to know that he still feels guilty about what happened back then. If Bai Yang is alive, it will be better for the people of Leicheng."
Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
Extraordinarily perfect?
No, this is the real perfect ending.
"Then let's get down to business."
Li Guanqi looked at Qin Lubai and said seriously: "How did Chen Yue help you?"
"He is helping me secretly."
Qin Lubai frowned and said slowly: "Two years ago, I accidentally entered a cave and got a dagger from that cave.
That dagger can forcibly stimulate the soul.
In the Four Symbols Secret Realm, there are five element-level demons who are restricted by the secret realm formation and enter a forced slumber.
At that time, I was wondering, could this dagger stimulate their souls, allow them to regain consciousness in a short period of time, and escape from the secret realm?
In addition, I also got the fire-proofing beads in that cave.
So the plan was formed at once, using the fire-proofing beads to go to the deepest part of the Suzaku Paradise, and then using the dagger to awaken the five-element-level fire eagle sealed there, so as to force Bai Yang to come.
Now that I think about it, if there was any chance encounter, it was all deliberately arranged by Chen Yue.
He just wants to use Bai Yang's guilt towards me to make him take the blame and commit suicide, thereby removing the obstacles and making it easier for him to kill 300,000 people in Leicheng and gather their souls... huh?"
As he said this, Qin Lubai suddenly looked surprised and raised his hand, seemingly searching for something in the space ring on his index finger.
"strangeness."
Qin Lubai looked at Li Guanqi and said confusedly: "My fire-proofing bead is gone. Didn't you say that those things were just pictures of predicting the future? Then why is it that the fire-proofing bead I gave you is really gone?"
"???"
Li Guanqi was stunned.
"this."
He took out a crimson fire-proofing bead from his space ring and looked at Qin Lubai in surprise, "Is yours gone?"
"How could you?"
Qin Lubai became more and more puzzled, "You also said that it was to predict the future, but I gave you the fire-proofing beads in the future, so what do you have now?"
"No, no...just let me calm down."
Li Guanqi held the Fire Bead in his hand, frowning in thought.
In the simulated world, the simulated Qin Lubai gave him the Fire-proofing Pearl.
In the real weird world, the real Qin Lubai's fire-proofing bead is gone?
A long time ago, the simulator said that when the strange world is turned on, the simulator will absorb the energy of the strange world.
Therefore, the simulated world of the simulator is not actually a world constructed out of thin air, and the rewards of the simulator are not rewards condensed out of thin air, but are directly harvested from the weird world...?
Damn it?
The simulator turned out to be Laoliu.
This kind of thing is so amazing.
But for now, this matter is doomed to not get any accurate answer.
Li Guanqi didn't want to waste time on such unreasonable things, so he relaxed his mind.
Never mind it!
"Then I... give it back to you?"
Li Guanqi looked at Qin Lubai and shook the fire-proofing bead in his hand.
"Whatever is given to you is yours."
Qin Lubai smiled.
"but……"
The woman in green suddenly dodges her eyes and whispers: "Well, deer, ice deer, the little ice deer I crushed at that time, can you give me another one?"
Li Guanqi was startled.
——What you missed before your death?
Li Guanqi, who was belatedly aware of the situation, seemed to have finally understood something at this moment.
"Forget it."
"That's it, Miss Qin."
Li Guanqi lowered his head, cupped his fists and saluted.
Formal etiquette, unfamiliar titles.
Euphemistic, but also clear attitude expression.
"..."
Qin Lubai looked at Li Guanqi, stunned.
"Are you done talking?"
At this time, Chi Gongming's voice suddenly sounded in the guest room, "Come here after we finish chatting. I have something to show you."
"The chat is over."
Li Guanqi looked at the empty guest room and replied.
"brush--"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strong blue wind that enveloped Li Guanqi and Qin Lubai.
The raging wind made it difficult for them to see the external environment clearly, and they could only barely feel that the green wind seemed to be moving them quickly.
soon.
The strong wind stopped and gradually dispersed.
At this time, Li Guanqi and Qin Lubai were no longer in the previous inn, but were in an empty black stone secret room.
"This is a secret room under Leicheng City."
Chi Gongming stood in front of the secret room.
And at his feet, there were...five corpses.
"Um?"
Li Guanqi couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.
The five corpses are the first generation ancestors of the four major families and the culprit behind the scenes.
Conjurer, Chen Yue!
But now, all five of them have become dead bodies.
"Senior Chi, did you kill them?" Li Guanqi looked at Chi Gongming.
Although he worked hard, spent all his thought and means, the battle scene spread to half of the Thunder City, and the fighting was earth-shattering before he could kill the ancestors of the Four Elephants, but for Chi Gongming, who was at the Five Elements level, killing them was not the same as squeezing a little chicken to death.
The difference is that it won't even make the slightest sound.
And conveniently killed Chen Yue, who had fallen to the fourth elephant level?
"No."
Chi Gongming's expression was extremely serious. He glanced at the five corpses at his feet and said solemnly: "I didn't kill them."
"Um?!"
Li Guanqi's expression changed drastically.
"While you and Lu'er were talking, I felt the environment of Leicheng and soon noticed a place with abnormal soul power. I followed it all the way and came to this secret room underground."
Chi Gongming said, pointing to the bodies of the five Chen Yue people at his feet, "When I came, the five of them were already dead, and judging from the condition of the bodies, they should have just died, and it was almost you and I who entered
When they arrived at Leicheng, the five of them were already dead.
And there’s…”
Chi Gongming kicked Chen Yue's body and looked at Li Guanqi, "This conjurer committed suicide.
The other four corpses are martial arts warriors who died of poison. I just checked and found that they were poisoned over the years. Specifically, they were poisoned at least three hundred years ago, and it was only today that the poison was triggered, causing the poison.
Fatal death.
By the way, he is Chen Yue?"
With that said, Chi Gongming pointed at Chen Yue's body.
"Yes, that's him."
Li Guanqi looked solemn.
It seems that the arrival of him and Chi Gongming caused things to change again.
Chen Yue was able to control the Four Elephant Ancestors because he was poisoned by him.
Today Chen Yue poisoned the ancestor of Sixiang to death.
But why did he commit suicide himself?
"The chamber has been cleared."
Chi Gongming looked around, looked at the empty secret room, and frowned: "This must be the secret room used by Chen Yue for spell research, but all the materials and items were burned. Although there are no ashes, I can feel the remaining
The law of fire is the law.
This aura of law is vaguely related to Chen Yue's corpse. It was definitely used by him during his lifetime. He erased all traces before committing suicide.
From this point of view, this Chen Yue was indeed a five-element level magician back then.
Metal, wood, water, fire and earth, one method and one level.
Back then, Chen Yue was at least the peak of the Five Elements in the Five Elements Fire Realm. As for whether he was the Perfect Five Elements in the Earth Realm, it's hard to say.
Even if he falls into a bad situation, the rules that the conjurer has mastered cannot be lost.
And... I am still here, and I have noticed a large number of abnormal soul auras. In fact, the reason why I was able to find this place is precisely because of these soul auras.
Watch chess."
Chi Gongming looked at Li Guanqi and nodded lightly, "I really believe you now. You should be right. Chen Yue is indeed collecting killing emotions and wants to reshape his killing soul. But now, Chen Yue
Suicide, everything is burned, all traces are erased.
This suicide is so weird.
Although traces at the scene indicate that he must have committed suicide, I am more inclined to believe that he was forced to commit suicide.
So, someone is one step ahead of us.
And...there's one thing I don't understand."
With that said, Chi Gongming stepped forward and walked towards another room in the secret room.
Li Guanqi followed closely behind.
This room is also empty, but there is still one "thing" on the table.
"I don't understand. Everything in the secret room was burned, but why is this thing left?"
Chi Gongming looked at the "things" on the table and frowned.
"Um?!"
When Li Guanqi saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank!
The thing on the table was a piece of translucent material.
The outline of this object looked a bit like a starfish, but the translucent shape and the unique and eerie aura allowed Li Guanqi to instantly determine its origin.
