"Boss, boss!"
One night a few days later, Chen Xing, who was lying on the dining table smelling of alcohol, was shaken awake.
He opened his eyes drunkenly and when he saw it was Xiao Yang, he muttered "leave me alone" and turned his head to continue sleeping.
"Boss, no, something happened!"
"Really, something big happened!"
Xiao Yang looked anxious and shook repeatedly. Chen Xing lazily got up and, with Xiao Yang's help, arrived at a small hotel not far away.
At this time, the small hotel was crowded with people, all of whom were familiar faces from the Thunder Light Group and the Master Group.
Everyone looked solemn, and when they saw Chen Xing coming in, they all moved out of the way.
Seeing this battle, Chen Xing realized the seriousness of the problem and sobered up a bit. He shook his head vigorously to drive away the dizziness after drinking, and walked deeper into the hotel.
"The boss is here."
"go in!"
In the dimly lit corridor, Huo Zui and Pang Li stood on both sides of a guest room. Chen Xing nodded to the two of them, and Huo Zui opened the door.
Seeing the scene inside, Chen Xing's head exploded and he was completely confused.
There were two male corpses hanging in the small room that exuded a musty smell. The two of them had been dead for a long time, their bodies stiff and hanging straight in the air.
Papers were scattered on the old desk, with only one last message on it.
Sorry, we can no longer hold on, please forgive our cowardice.
"Pang Li and I have checked, and it's suicide." Huozui whispered behind him, and then explained, "They were acting abnormally some time ago. They often told people around them that they dreamed of a pair of shoes when they went to bed at night. Keep your eyes on them.”
"They said they have been suffering from insomnia for a long time, and it has gotten worse recently, and they have begun to hallucinate during the day."
"Maybe I can't stand the torture, so..." At this point, Huozui choked up.
The two people who committed suicide were both strong men at the defensive level. As long as they had a little will to survive, they could mobilize their spiritual energy and break the rope.
But they didn't, not even for a moment.
This is how much despair it takes to make such a decisive decision.
Although his last words were only a short sentence, they conveyed all the vicissitudes of life and suffering.
Chen Xing clenched his fists tightly, his chest filled with huge anger and sadness, but there was nowhere to vent it.
The scar on his arm ached faintly, as if reminding him at all times that the gaze from the abyss had never left them.
"Boss, he's gone, please forgive me and accept the change." Huozui advised. "Maybe it's a relief for them too."
"This is their life, and it is also..." Pang Li took a deep breath, "our life."
The hoarse voice was filled with a sense of powerlessness. In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, even if you hold on to the determination to die, it is like a mayfly shaking a tree, unable to waver in the slightest.
There are times when a great hero is powerless, let alone a group of bereaved dogs.
Everyone was silent, and huge sadness and anger filled the small hotel. The boss and the waiter didn't know what was happening, and they were trembling with fear and did not dare to show their heads.
Huge grief and anger accumulated in his chest. Chen Xing wanted to yell, but he couldn't make a sound.
He hated the King of the Abyss for killing them all, hated the injustice of the world, and hated his own incompetence.
"Well!"
In the midst of grief and anger, his throat suddenly felt sweet and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Boss!"
Seeing Chen Xing vomiting blood, Huo Zui and others immediately surrounded him.
"Take the boss away quickly!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Everyone was busy helping Chen Xing out.
Not long after he went out, Chen Xing, who was still in a state of confusion, struggled to stand up. "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
He pushed away the supporter and staggered towards the small bar.
He sat in silence for several hours, until dawn emerged and the morning light shone into the tavern, and he finally recovered.
There was only one thought in his mind at the moment, that something must be done. Even if the doctor tried to treat a dead horse and it was all in vain, he couldn't do nothing.
At least, he tried hard and struggled!
With the support of this belief, he found Merov, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked him to send a telegram to White Tower College.
About half an hour later, an old man dressed as a homeless man in a shabby gray robe came to the small bar where Chen Xing was.
Under the dirty hood, a pair of wise eyes were revealed.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Chen Xing looked at Lumsden in front of him strangely. This was completely different from the elegant, wise and elegant guardian of the world in his impression.
Lumsden smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "Now is a sensitive period, it is not good for others to see."
"That's right..." Chen Xing nodded and sighed, "I have such a bad reputation now, it's hard for you to come here in person."
"It's not that Chen Xiaoyou is overly worried." Ramsden quickly waved his hand to deny, and then comforted, "Chen Xiaoyou doesn't need to belittle himself. Although people now have some misunderstandings, I believe that Chen Xiaoyou is an upright and kind-hearted good person."
Hearing the word "good person", Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Don't make fun of me. I know what my reputation is now."
Then Chen Xing got straight to the point and explained the purpose of inviting the other party over this time.
I told the other party about the Abyss Brand last time. If it was just his personal problem, he would definitely not trouble the other party. As Tie Nuo said, the guardian is the guardian of the world, but now it concerns the only remaining partners around him. There was nothing he could do but turn to the Guardians of the World.
After listening to Chen Xing's words, Ramsden pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, "Little friend Chen, what you just said, even if I want to help, I am powerless..."
He then explained that there are three ways to completely solve the Abyss Brand.
The first way is to be strong enough. Once it becomes a bone that cannot be chewed, the Gluttonous King will naturally give up.
But at least it is a small king-level strength, and only the person involved can get rid of the brand.
In other words, unless everyone is promoted to the level of Little King, the Gluttonous Monarch will continue to struggle.
The second method is to turn against the enemy, use the abyss mark as the coordinate, and counterattack the body of the Gluttonous Monarch, so that he will taste fear and naturally give up.
But doing so is very difficult.
Although the Gluttonous Monarch is comparable in strength to the supreme powerhouse of mankind, as a powerful individual, he cannot pass through narrow space channels and can only transmit a small part of his power into the undercurrent of time and space.
Just like two strong men, they can only fight through a narrow window. Neither side can exert their full strength, so it is difficult to determine the winner.
The third way is to temporarily suppress it, just like last time, find a saint from the Holy Light Church to impose a seal.
However, the saint's status is high and she will not take action easily. Moreover, the seal is only temporary and can only be controlled for a while but not for a lifetime.
"According to what you say, there is nothing we can do?" Chen Xing said with some disappointment.
"That's not true..." Ramsden stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully, "There is absolutely no way..."
"What can I do!" Chen Xing grabbed Ramsden's wrist as if he was grasping the last straw.
Lumsden slowly turned his head and looked into Chen Xing's eyes, looking hesitant as if he was thinking about something.
"Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Chen Xing said seriously.
After a long time, Lumsden's eyes gradually regained their luster, revealing a gentle and mysterious smile.
"There is a way..." "If, I mean if..." Lumsden emphasized, "you can become the chairman of the Committee for Human Survival."
"Ah?" The other party's words were surprising, and Chen Xing was stunned for a moment.
"I..." Chen Xing pointed at himself, thinking he heard the wrong words, "Be the chairman of the Human Survival Committee?"
"Yes!" Lumsden nodded confidently, "If you can become the next chairman of the committee, you can assemble the world's most powerful men to counterattack the undercurrent of time and space and severely damage the Gluttonous Lord!"
Chen Xing's expression suddenly dropped, and he said angrily, "You came all the way here, are you kidding me?"
Ramsden put away his smile and said seriously, "Xiaoyou Chen, I'm not kidding you."
"You see, I have become like this. Not to mention how bad my reputation is. I am a lord, and I went to be the chairman of the committee and lead the world's most powerful people. Isn't this a joke to the whole world? "
"Little friend Chen, don't belittle yourself..."
Ramsden's words were serious and thoughtful, but the person involved did not appreciate them.
"I'm not belittling myself, I'm just clear-headed, and I'm not too whimsical."
"Little friend Chen, don't get excited..." Ramsden stroked his gray beard and said slowly, "How about this, let's make a deal..."
Chen Xing was stunned, "What deal?"
Lumsden looked into his eyes and said calmly, "As long as you can end this war, I will accept you as a closed disciple and help you ascend to the position of chairman."
Chen Xing's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. The other person spoke shockingly again, just like talking nonsense after drinking. But the other person was no one else, but the guardian of the world, a big shot who could make the world shake by just stamping his feet.
"No, this, that..." Because he was so shocked, Chen Xing even spoke a little incoherently.
"Little friend Chen, I'm not kidding you." Lumsden emphasized again.
"No, it's not..." Chen Xing forced himself to calm down, and after some thought, he asked, "Can you tell me why you want to get involved in this war?"
He felt very strange. According to the practice of the Red Earth World, guardians would not intervene in wars between countries, nor would they favor any side.
But now, Ramsden has promised to pay a huge price to intervene in the Red Country's war.
"Because..." Ramsden paused and said in a deep voice, "Our world is facing a huge unknown threat!"
Just the day before yesterday, the World Network Monitoring Center discovered abnormal energy fluctuations in the Zero Zone of the Black Death Continent.
As the guardian of the world, after receiving the situation, he immediately opened the portal and went to Zone Zero to investigate the situation.
When he approached the center of the Zero Zone, a beam of destruction suddenly shot out from the black mist that neither light nor extraordinary perception could penetrate.
That beam of light contained extremely terrifying power, and the surrounding space was rapidly distorting, as if it could annihilate all matter.
At the critical moment, Lumsden summoned the Golden Compass and directed the beam to the other end of the world.
The power of the destructible beam is too powerful, and concentrating it in one place will cause the local space to fragment. Fortunately, Ramsden's Golden Compass was able to separate the mirror image, divide the attack into hundreds of parts, and guide it to different no-man's lands, which was able to resolve the attack.
After that, Lumsden did not dare to stay, opened the portal and left.
There are various signs that human beings are facing huge external threats. The war on the Red Earth Continent must be ended as soon as possible, and all the supreme powers must be united to resolve this crisis.
Lumsden returned to the academy and thought hard for two days, but could not think of a suitable solution. It happened that Chen Xing suddenly contacted him today, and his eyes lit up, thinking that the other party might be the best person to solve this problem.
Being able to deal with Aaliyah and Trilis at the same time has fully proved the strength of each other.
After listening to Ramsden's thoughts, Chen Xing felt his head hurt. The amount of information was so overwhelming that his head was about to explode.
