Hades, 14:36 that afternoon.
There is indeed a difference in the time system between the underworld and the underworld. When Hei Wuchang brought him down, the morning light was dim, but when he arrived in the underworld, the time was still the same afternoon.
Several people deduced the whole thing at Cui Ling's mansion. Black and White Wuchang, Cui Ling, Bao Zheng, and Li Jianguo were all present, but Huang Si was still missing.
Unlike other places in Hades, the light in Cui Mansion is unusually abundant. There are no torches here, but spring light seems to be everywhere, bright and bright, and there is almost no shadow. Li Jianguo searched for a long time but couldn't find where the light source was. It seemed that Cui Mansion was the light source itself.
The room they were in also had bright and clean windows. It looked like the study room of a young master from some dynasty. Several faint blue lights were swimming freely in the room. There were several light blue light fish floating in the air, enjoying themselves around everyone. swim.
The other people were not surprised. Only Li Jianguo sighed in his heart about the magic of Hades VR projection technology.
"So," Bao Zheng frowned slightly and deduced to everyone, "there are indeed people in the world playing the role of the underworld, and they are transferring the souls that the underworld has missed."
"Is there anyone else doing such a good thing?" Hei Wuchang leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "It's voluntary work, and you don't even need to pay wages!"
Cui Ling held a thick registration form in his hand: "No, we can be sure that these souls did not enter the Hades, at least they did not enter the Hades from the gate of hell. Through these days of observation, the number of new souls entering the Hades has not increased. They must have been Moved elsewhere.”
Bai Wuchang raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's strange. We have been investigating in the world for so long, but we haven't found their whereabouts. If they are really transferring souls, we should definitely encounter them."
Bao Zheng stroked his beard with his hand: "Then, it means that they know our whereabouts. Not only that, they should know the location of every underworld, so that they can ensure that the time is completely staggered."
Bao Zheng looked at Li Jianguo and continued: "So the news brought by Mr. Li is very important. It is precisely because of this that they will try every means to prevent Mr. Li from returning to Hades."
Bai Wuchang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked Bao Zheng: "Know the location of every underworld... At least Master Fan and I, if we are being followed, we will definitely know. We don't need to report it to anyone. Every action we take, can it be said that..."
Bao Zheng nodded: "So they should have some means to directly determine whether there are any ghosts around the soul, similar to an automatic screening system for specific identity targets."
Li Jianguo thought for a while, and there seemed to be no other possibilities: "But, is this technically possible? Face recognition, precise positioning, etc. Has Hades' AI developed to this level?"
Several people glanced at Li Jianguo in surprise, and Cui Ling smiled slightly awkwardly:
"Master Li, do you think there is such a possibility... In addition to technology, we in the underworld also have some divine power? Although it is not much, there are still some small miracles that people in the world think... .”
Ah, yes.
Li Jianguo suddenly understood: Isn't Fengdu where I am now a place that cannot be explained by science? It's because the things I have seen in the past two days are too "normal", and I have forgotten that the essence of this place is also created by divine power.
"However, if there is really divine power, wouldn't many of the current problems in Hades be completely solved by divine power?"
Cui Ling listened and laughed again: "Except for those divine powers that form the foundation of the Three Realms, most divine powers need to be maintained by faith. The divine power of the underworld is not sufficient. You see, people in the underworld worship the gods, but very few Few people know how to worship the King of Hell, right?"
I see.
Cui Ling continued: "Of course there are miracles that can operate independently without any need for divine power. This is the case for most facilities in the heaven, but the underworld is different. According to the existing operating rules, the underworld still needs sufficient faith support to maintain operation."
Li Jianguo still saw a hint of loneliness and helplessness in Cui Ling's eyes. Cui Ling continued: "We also hope to be able to operate independently like heaven, but our Huangquan Yinshan is not qualified to enter the eyes of heaven."
"Without further ado," Bai Wuchang interrupted the two people, "We now know that there is another force acting secretly. Judging from their sudden pursuit of Master Li, this incident should be a conspiracy in itself. Important intelligence. We don’t know the other party’s purpose yet, and this will be an important task for us to do later.”
Bao Zheng nodded, looked at Li Jianguo again and said, "In addition, I received news from Huang Si. It seems that Mr. Li... wiped out an entire assassination team with just a few moves?"
"I can explain this..." Li Jianguo immediately spread his hands, not wanting everyone to make too many guesses for him, lest there be no bodyguards by then, no one in the underworld, and he would be imprisoned as soon as he left.
Bao Zheng gave Li Jianguo a "Sure enough" look, stopping Li Jianguo from continuing to speak. The look in his eyes said: Sure enough, your resume is all fake. Although I know your abilities, I also understand your difficulties. Don't delve into your abilities now. Well, don't worry, I understand.
Li Jianguo touched his lips up and down with difficulty.
Now even if you say you are a waste, you will be considered to be hiding your strength, right?
These people... hardly listen to what others say...
Bao Zheng then said: "Considering Mr. Li's current situation, we still recommend that Mr. Li take a short rest in the Hades. You can go to my mansion temporarily, or you can go and chat with the supreme leader of the Hades, the Tenth Palace Pluto. There shouldn’t be anyone who dares to make mistakes there.”
"By the way," Bao Zheng thought of something and continued to add: "Master Li can also go to the Hades Building to pick up the salary issued by the Heavenly Court in due course. It seems that you have reached an additional deal with someone. He should have been thinking about it for a long time. "
After saying this, Li Jianguo remembered: "By the way, where are Huang and the others?"
"Where's the door? Doesn't he always wait for you at the door?"
…
As expected, Li Jianguo met Huang Si, who was leaning against the door and yawning. Seeing Li Jianguo, Huang Si immediately became energetic. He stood up from the ground with a spring start, patted his butt, and said with a smile: "Master, where are you going? ?”
Li Jianguo glanced at Huang Si, who was hunched over and smiling like an egg. There was no way he could connect him with the murderous man in the early morning of Yangjian.
"Um, Huang Si, why didn't you go in when everyone was in a meeting? I didn't see you when I came back."
Huang Si smiled flatteringly: "Hey, you big shots are having a meeting, how can a little guy like me participate? My task is to guide you, sir, and protect your safety. I can't worry too much about anything else." .”
Li Jianguo carefully looked at Huang Si's hands, feet and feet: "How is the wound?"
"Let me tell you, your swish of light waves, sir, is really powerful," Huang Si said with a smile, "I feel like my ribs are shaking now. I was cut several times in several places. I almost I heard the wound being opened with a "swish". Now my left arm and right leg are bandaged, but fortunately they are all skin injuries and are not in the way."
Li Jianguo noticed that Huang Si was still wearing the same black and white robe. It still looked greasy and unclean, and it was full of indistinguishable stains.
Under the robe, there should be the wound Huang Si mentioned.
This person...is too well hidden.
Li Jianguo asked again: "They called you Minggu. When you met me, I thought you were just a messenger responsible for guiding me. If you have such strength..."
Huang Si hehe said: "More important work requires a sense of morality, mission, honor and who knows what it is. Well, I only care about money. Mr. Bao negotiated the price with me, and I gave it to Mr. Bao Work, it’s that simple.”
"But when someone uses money to win you over..."
"Harmful," Huang Si interrupted Li Jianguo and said mysteriously, "It can be considered an investment. I always feel that being with adults can make a fortune!"
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si's expression with his mouth open in surprise. He didn't seem to be joking.
"Well, I don't even believe myself, but you still..."
Seeing Li Jianguo looking at him in trance, Huang Si shook his finger in front of Li Jianguo: "Hey, sir, it goes without saying, it's all in my heart! By the way, I heard that you are being paid by the superiors, or that you are better than We are treated well, and we are indeed high-ranking officials from above. How about we go and settle the wages first..."
After twists and turns, I have to come back here in the end.
Li Jianguo had no choice but to agree: "Okay, after all you saved me, let's go."
There was some restlessness in the distance, and a few faint shouts broke through the twists and turns in Fengdu and reached the ears of the two of them.
The two of them glanced over there, and not long after, a group of Hades guards hurried towards the direction where the sound came from. There were also several noises coming from the house. When he turned around, he saw that Bai Wuchang had already jumped on the roof of Cui Mansion, while Hei Wuchang rushed out of the house and ran up and down.
Huang Si touched the corner of Li Jianguo's clothes: "Sir, what's wrong? Let's go to the Hades Building."
"Wait a minute," Li Jianguo felt uneasy, "something must have happened over there..."
"Sir, do you want to go over and have a look?"
Li Jianguo said sternly: "Of course not. Let's stay as far away from there now as possible. But as a Minggu, don't you need to take a look?"
Huang Si smiled and said, "My mission is only to protect you. If Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian go over, it should be fine. You have thousands of eyes watching you, but if you go over, it will be a disaster for your life. Personal advice from the villain , now we have more important things..."
Huang Si’s eyes were extremely sincere:
"Make money."
Indeed, if Black and White and the others are here, there should be no problem in the underworld.
So, the two of them walked slowly towards the Hades building without any hesitation.
That afternoon, 15:14.
In just half an hour, the south gate of Fengdu fell. To the south of the central axis, the fire of industry is overwhelming.
This was the first fall of Fengdu in history.
Although Fengdu's name did not appear in the official selection, Fengdu has always been the safest city in the three realms.
Even the center of the three realms, Heaven, is not as safe as Fengdu. The Nantian Gate has been smashed to pieces eighteen hundred times in the past thousand and eight hundred years. One of the growth tasks of great gods and demons such as Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, and Chen Xiang is to "crush the Nantian Gate". Even Manjusri and Samantabhadra's mounts can sometimes do it. The Nantian Gate was so frightened that it trembled.
But Fengdu is different. No one has any plans to take advantage of Fengdu.
When Sun Wukong angrily tore up the Book of Life and Death, he did not say that he would demolish Fengdu. He even followed the rules and broke into the Palace of Hades according to the established route. Except for two unlucky ghosts, he made no mistakes along the way.
It's not because Fengdu city defense is so sound, it's just because...
The city of Fengdu has no value at all in being captured!
As a city in the underworld, Fengdu has neither resource endowment nor economic value. The only specialty is Mengpo soup. Not to mention the issue of formula protection, it cannot be sold at a high price based on market demand alone.
As for tourism resources...are there any charges for visiting the Eighteen Levels of Hell? Many people already have a one-way ticket to hell in their pockets, and it is indeed unrealistic to charge them.
In addition, Fengdu very much needs sacrifices from the underworld to function. At the moment when faith in the Three Realms is tense, Fengdu is a loser for any attacker.
Not to mention the need to spend troops to capture it, even if it is given to others for free, no one would dare to take it.
That's right, Fengdu has long understood that as long as I have no use value, others cannot use me.
Therefore, Fengdu lived smoothly for thousands of years despite the extremely lack of city defense. Even during the battle of the Underworld Demon, his city defense was no more than the security guards you would see in a high-end community.
Then, today, click, the city was broken.
The fleeing residents of Fengdu had more doubts, confusion and shock in their minds than fear.
Invaders, are your brains broken?
