casino.
A bustling casino.
Zhang Yinghao stood in a cafe on the street opposite the casino, drinking a glass of strong wine and said:
"I am indeed familiar with this casino - after all, it is an underground industry just like my business, so there are always people I know - but what are these lines about?"
On the table in front of him was a stack of freshly printed papers, filled with lines.
Gu Qingshan nodded towards Feiying.
Feiying raised his hand, showing thousands of black threads on his wrist.
"As you can see, every thread on her arm represents our goal, but in fact, at the beginning, we did not have so many goals, only one." Gu Qingshan said.
Zhang Yinghao was a little confused, pointing to the thousands of threads and asking: "Then why did there suddenly become so many?"
"Because... this is a screening mechanism." Gu Qingshan said.
"Filtering what?"
"The right person - only the right person can approach that goal."
"What if it's the wrong person?"
"You will be led by one of the threads and deviate further and further away from the real goal." Gu Qingshan said.
Zhang Yinghao and Feiying looked at each other and shook their heads together.
"I don't understand." They both said in unison.
"It's very simple - Feiyue, I was reminded by the Chaos Sequence. There is actually a art of multiple parallel worlds here, so your thread of destiny will suddenly branch into thousands of roots - because the threads of each parallel world are They all have our goals." Gu Qingshan said.
"I kind of understand, that is to say, we have to transcend all parallel worlds to find the real goal." Fei Ying said.
"Correct." Gu Qingshan said.
"What's the method?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
"Screening - I was the one who experienced all this back then, and I am the only one who remembers all the details." Gu Qingshan said.
"It must match the history you have experienced before we can see the target?" Fei Ying asked.
"That's right." Gu Qingshan said.
"What if we make a mistake?"
"Then we will enter a parallel world and be unable to find the real goal."
"...The person you are looking for is really cautious."
"certainly."
Fei Ying silently recited a spell, grabbed all the silk threads and tied them on Gu Qingshan's wrist.
"If it's your past... then I can't follow you into the casino, but I can put 'Loving Love' on your wrist. It will still be effective and will always remind you of the situation around you." Fei Ying said.
"Will it affect the screening?" Gu Qingshan asked worriedly.
"Destiny is a transcendent force. As long as you don't use it to attack, other laws will live in harmony with fate." Fei Ying said.
"Understood." Gu Qingshan nodded in greeting.
Zhang Yinghao picked up the script book in his hand and read it again, took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I almost remember it all."
"Let's go." Gu Qingshan said.
He stood up and walked out of the cafe with Zhang Yinghao, crossed the street, and entered the casino.
…
Zhang Yinghao walked into the casino hall, and his ears were immediately filled with noisy sounds.
He looked around.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Can they even get space monsters now?" Zhang Yinghao read a line.
"Do you know this place?" Gu Qingshan continued.
"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. This used to be a place for exchanging information."
"It looks like they've started a new business."
As the two of them were talking, they saw all the black threads in Gu Qingshan's hands being withdrawn, leaving only one.
This silk thread is illusory and transparent, and only occasionally shows its black texture.
Lines of small firefly characters appeared in front of Gu Qingshan's eyes:
"Notice!"
"You enter a parallel world."
"The scope of all parallel worlds is: casino."
"If you exit the casino at this time, you will exit the corresponding parallel world."
Gu Qingshan pulled Zhang Yinghao out of the casino.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
"...I forgot one thing." Gu Qingshan raised his head and looked upward.
I saw the big clock above the entrance of the casino turning rapidly and returning to a certain point in time.
A line of small firefly characters appeared;
"——You only have one chance to come back. If you still cannot cross multiple parallel worlds, you will lose the target person's movements."
Gu Qingshan's thoughts were racing, and after a while, he suddenly sighed.
"What?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
"I forgot one thing - last time we came in, you brought the black cat with you." Gu Qingshan said.
"So we just failed?"
Zhang Yinghao said, stretched out his hand and knocked on the ground, summoning the black cat.
"Yes, the black cat must be summoned - to be consistent with history - we cannot fail again, otherwise we will no longer be able to find the target." Gu Qingshan said.
"I will remember the lines and the actions." Zhang Yinghao said seriously.
"Very good, we have one last chance." Gu Qingshan also became completely serious.
The two walked into the casino.
As soon as they entered, the clock above the casino door suddenly started moving again.
Inside the casino.
Zhang Yinghao looked around in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Can they even get space monsters now?" Zhang Yinghao read the lines again.
"Do you know this place?" Gu Qingshan asked
"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. This used to be a place for exchanging information."
"It looks like they've started a new business."
As the two of them were talking, they saw the black cat jump to the ground and disappear.
Everything was just right.
But this is just the beginning. It is almost impossible to ensure that everything matches.
Gu Qingshan looked at his wrist from the corner of his eye and saw that all the black threads were intact.
A few translucent threads disappeared.
"It's skill time, it should be here."
Zhang Yinghao said and then asked: "Do you have merit points? If you want to enter the core area, you must exchange merit points for chips."
"I don't have much else, my merit points are enough." Gu Qingshan said.
The two of them walked in swaggeringly, and soon a waiter came up to them and respectfully led them to the elevator.
There are twenty elevators in the lobby, and each elevator only allows one group of guests to enter at the same time.
The waiter closed the elevator and asked, "What do you two want to do?"
"We——" Zhang Yinghao glanced at Gu Qingshan.
"The more special the better." Gu Qingshan smiled at the attendant.
The waiter squinted at the two people's chip boxes.
The chip box is filled with the largest amount of red chips.
The waiter smiled and said, "Dear guests, you will not be disappointed."
He pressed a button underneath the elevator.
-70 floors.
The elevator went down quickly, and after a while, it gradually slowed down.
Ding!
The crisp doorbell rang.
The door opened.
A vast and vast lake.
"Underground lake?" Zhang Yinghao read his lines quickly.
Gu Qingshan remained silent and followed the waiter forward, sitting down on a high platform on the shore of the underground lake.
Along the lakeshore, the high platforms were filled with people.
The waiter took out the communicator and asked, then turned to the two of them and said, "The last one has been over for a while, and this one will start soon. Please wait a moment."
Exquisite snacks and expensive wines were served.
The two of them had no intention of eating or drinking, and sat in silence for a while, then heard the attendant say: "It's begun."
I saw a figure flying towards the center of the underground lake.
The lake was so vast that the man was about to fall halfway through his leap.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly paused in the air, burst out with strength again, and continued to fly forward.
Gu Qingshan and Zhang Yinghao exchanged glances.
——This wink also happened before and must not be ignored.
A few more black threads were missing from Gu Qingshan's arms.
I saw the Martial Lord landing on the raft in the middle of the lake and putting down the things on his shoulders.
A comatose man.
Wu Zun pressed on the man's body, turned around and flew out of the underground lake.
The man began to make unconscious movements, and he was gradually waking up.
At this time, the attendant said: "You two can start placing your bets."
"How to play?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
The waiter said: "Start the timer from 0 seconds and bet on how long he can survive. The upper limit is 3 minutes - once 3 minutes are up, the person who bets on his survival wins."
"There are three games today, and the person who wins the most will get today's lucky prize."
"What is the lucky prize?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
"Every day is different. Today is a part of the corpse of a cosmic monster, or a strange person. Choose one." The attendant said.
The two looked at each other.
Gu Qingshan whispered: "Your chosen skills are really good."
Zhang Yinghao shrugged: "This is what I rely on for a living."
Gu Qingshan looked at the lake and suddenly asked: "What is under the lake?"
In the lake, a black shadow tens of meters long appeared and disappeared.
"The prehistoric giant beast restored through genetic preparation has been hungry for two days." The attendant said with a smile.
A middle-aged man stood up with a smile and threw a wine glass filled with red liquid.
His strength was good, and the wine glass landed directly near the center of the lake.
Red liquid spilled out and spread on the lake.
The black shadow under the lake swam faster.
Zhang Yinghao moved his nose and whispered: "It's blood."
"Is there no problem if he does this?" Gu Qingshan asked the waiter.
"You can't kill the man in the center of the lake. Other than that, you can do whatever you want." The waiter smiled.
On the high platform on the right, the middle-aged man shouted to his companions as if showing off: "Look, this big guy is really good. He bit a person in two in one bite last time."
The woman sitting opposite him gently covered her mouth, yawned, and said boredly: "Really? It's really scary."
The woman turned her head inadvertently, glanced at the high platform next to her, and saw Gu Qingshan and Zhang Yinghao.
The woman's eyes lit up.
At the same time, Gu Qingshan's heart suddenly sank.
He found that all the black threads on his arms flew out and kept spinning around the woman.
This woman... actually has nearly a thousand parallel worlds overlapping her body.
Once there is any change in time and space, anyone who attacks her or captures her will be thrown directly into the corresponding parallel world!
Such strict precautions...
By the way, I remembered it.
Her name is Dugu Qiong.
Gu Qingshan recited this name silently.
He quickly remembered what he should do at this time——
He turned his head sharply and stared at Dugu Qiong.
The woman was caught by his glance, her whole body tensed involuntarily, and she subconsciously did not dare to move.
In a daze, her entire thoughts were completely blank.
Killing intent.
——The murderous intention from Gu Qingshan.
Suddenly, the palpitations disappeared, and the woman felt that her soul had returned to her body.
Gu Qingshan seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, his face was full of apology, he smiled and nodded gently.
His smile was like a shot of warm spring water in the spring breeze, flowing into his heart. His whole body suddenly relaxed, and his cold body gradually felt warm.
The woman held her heart in her hands and relaxed for a while.
This feeling is so impressive.
——So far apart.
She suddenly took out a business card.
"Please do me a favor." She waved to the waiter.
the other side.
"Look, I just said you should relax a little. Your murderous intent, tsk tsk tsk, must have scared others this time." Zhang Yinghao made a gesture of spreading his hands and recited the lines meticulously.
"Sorry, I'm not used to being spied on."
Gu Qingshan accepted the techniques taught by Qin Xiaolou and said to the lines.
But I saw the waiter on the high platform over there, carrying a plate.
"Sir, the lady gave you the wine. Here is her business card."
The waiter placed a glass of wine and a business card on the table and stepped back politely.
Zhang Yinghao whistled and said: "A glass of Godfather is a card leading to the depths of her heart. It seems that she thinks you are a real man."
"This is a weird method, but it is very effective. I will have to learn it in the future." Zhang Yinghao murmured in a low voice.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Gu Qingshan picked up the business card and looked at it.
"Fuxi Empire, Plank Road Weapons Group, Dugu Qiong."
As soon as he finished reading, a new line of small words suddenly appeared on the business card:
"Don't move, wait for me to mobilize the parallel world."
Gu Qingshan's heart moved and he continued to hold the business card and watch.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Card--
A crisp sound.
Everything around suddenly came to a standstill.
The void opened, and another Gu Qingshan came out, looked at him and said: "It turns out there really is another me."
That Gu Qingshan handed him a card.
Gu Qingshan took it and took a look, only to see a new line of small words written on it:
"Drink the wine in front of you."
Gu Qingshan drank the wine as he was told.
For a moment, he only felt that he was far away from the current world.
A line of prompts appears:
"You have taken actions that are different from the original history, so you will enter a parallel world."
Gu Qingshan looked back.
Gu Qingshan took his place, sat down in front of his seat, took out a business card, and made an inspection gesture.
"Don't look at it. He has temporarily replaced you and has not been discovered by any evil spirits——"
"So we can finally meet."
A voice sounded from behind.
Gu Qingshan looked back and saw that he was still standing on the high platform next to the underground lake. There was no one else around -
There was only one man wearing black armor.
"Dugu Feng—General Dugu, it's you!"
Gu Qingshan said with emotion.
"Yes - I am an apostle of the Water Era. In order to avoid evil spirits, I have to hide in the parallel world." The man said.
"Huge corpse?"
"It's my other half."
"I see, you have always been fighting side by side with me."
"That's right... I invited you from another parallel world, and he is happy to pretend to be you temporarily - so that no one will discover my location."
"Are you so careful because the other half of you has fallen into the hands of the devil?" Gu Qingshan asked again.
Speaking of this, Dugu Feng's expression condensed and he said solemnly: "That's it. Once this half of me is caught by them, your sequence will lose the power of an era, and I will completely turn into their bones. seat."
"We have to find a way quickly." Gu Qingshan said.
He took out the entire piece of Yuanxu and placed it in front of Dugu Feng.
"This is another Yuanxu that I tried my best to obtain. There are traces of evil magic in it... In the four eras, you are the apostle with the most knowledge and skills. Please help me take a look." Gu Qingshan said.
Dugu Feng's eyes fell on the glass-like Yuanxu, and he said slowly: "You did a good job... I rebelled too early back then, so I didn't have time to learn many evil magic techniques, and I didn't fully understand their secrets. Detecting it... this piece of original void will bring us new hope."
He raised Yuan Xu and looked at it with concentration.
