The next day, at 23:40 in the morning.
Cui Ling was weighing nervously.
According to Ming Gu, who hurried over just now, Li Jianguo and the Ming Gu below did not hear a single word of his impassioned speech a few minutes ago.
It's really too far away.
For the current plan, either immediately invent an instant messaging device, or let the Hades send messages back and forth in the middle.
Otherwise, he could only let Li Jianguo get close to him before talking.
Obviously the first option is more difficult.
The second and third options are essentially a trade-off between safety and efficiency.
After careful consideration, Cui Ling chose the third option.
If Li Jianguo had no intention of negotiating from the beginning, he should have taken action just now when he approached him.
So even if Li Jianguo comes over now, it shouldn't be more dangerous than before.
Cui Ling suddenly thought of a chilling inference:
Could it be that... Li Jianguo even knew in advance that he had buried a large number of annihilated souls in the Three Realms? Is that why you don't attack yourself?
impossible? He couldn't really predict the future, could he?
Cui Ling thought for a long time and had no clue.
Forget it, no matter what, Li Jianguo must face it.
"Bring Li Jianguo over."
…
After a while, Li Jianguo and Huang Si were escorted and tied to the foot of Shaking Sky Cliff by everyone. Cui Ling nodded, and the two were carried by a group of ghosts and sent to the top of the cliff to face Cui Ling.
Li Jianguo Zhang Er Jingang was confused.
What's going on? After tossing myself back and forth like this, is this going to pass the security check? Where is the metal detector?
Cui Ling was sitting cross-legged on the top of Shaking Sky Cliff, surrounded by eight flags flying fiercely.
Li Jianguo and Huang Si were a few meters in front of Cui Ling, with two knives pressed against the backs of their necks. After arriving at the position, someone behind him kicked his leg, and Li Jianguo knelt down on the ground with a plop.
Li Jianguo said generously in his heart that he would not care about the other party.
Huang Si was lying on the ground. Although he still looked dying, he seemed to be much better than before. The wound seemed to be healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cui Ling looked at Li Jianguo in front of him and said calmly:
"As expected, you are here."
Li Jianguo: "Yes, look at you. I feel relieved to see that you are fine. So, you can play by yourself here and I will go back. Damn, don't get up. I will go back by myself. I won't send you away." Don’t send it off.”
As he spoke, Li Jianguo was about to stand up, but was slapped on the shoulder by Ming Gu behind him and pushed him down.
Li Jianguo continued naturally: "There are indeed a few words that I can chat with. You can come and chat with me."
Cui Ling continued: "Since you are here, let's talk about the demands of both sides. By the way, in case you don't know, the annihilation soul I released just now is just a warning. I still have many hidden annihilation souls in the Three Realms. If I If something unexpected happens here, then those souls will be annihilated out of control, and then the Three Realms will be in catastrophe."
Cui Ling's tone became more and more nervous because he saw Li Jianguo just nodded indifferently.
With this indifferent attitude...do you really know that I'm hiding the Annihilation Soul?
Damn it, he already knows his cards, this negotiation is expected to be difficult...
In fact, Li Jianguo just nodded seriously.
I wonder why Cui Ling told me this?
I can't possibly pose any threat to Cui Ling under the guard of so many people, right? These people around me don’t know my abilities. Didn’t you Cui Ling already know about it?
Cui Ling felt that he was losing control of the situation from the moment he opened his mouth, and he struggled to find a breakthrough.
"This Huang Si...are you acting together?"
Li Jianguo said honestly and blankly: "Not at all. To be honest, I don't know why he got here earlier than us, because we didn't tell him your location at all."
Shang Lue: "It seems that he came with us. Huang Si is already a leader among the Ming Gu. When other Ming Gu came from all directions to join us, Huang Si must have followed one of the Ming Gu. of."
Cui Ling frowned slightly: "Since he is not a fellow traveler, what is he doing here alone?"
Shang Lue remained silent.
"Of course...I'm here to stop you..."
Although Huang Si's voice was low, his breathing was now stable. Li Jianguo couldn't help but marvel at Huang Si's healing ability.
"Stop me?" Cui Ling asked, "Are you alone?"
Huang Si chuckled lightly and said: "No, as long as it can delay your speed and prevent you from continuing to harm the Three Realms, just wait until Lord Li comes... Although he failed to do it, Lord Li's soldiers are more powerful and faster, and it is better to get there..." I expected it to be much faster…enough.”
Cui Ling laughed.
Talking to Huang Si was obviously much more pleasant.
Cui Ling decided to find some ground with Huang Si before talking to Li Jianguo.
So Cui Ling said proudly: "Prevent me from harming the Three Realms? No, I am saving the Three Realms. If it weren't for me, the Three Realms would be completely destroyed sooner or later. I am using a meager sacrifice to exchange for the long-term stability of the Three Realms. I am the Three Realms. Great hero!"
Huang Si sneered and said nothing.
Cui Ling stopped his impassioned speech and looked at Huang Si coldly: "It seems you have different opinions."
Huang Si asked in return: "At the expense of more orphans from Hades?"
"……What?"
"Does your meager sacrifice refer to the lives of countless old, weak, sick and disabled people? Do you want more orphans like us who cannot re-enter reincarnation as a weight for your progress?!"
Huang Si's voice was low, but full of anger, as if every word he spoke was burning.
Huang Si turned his head and looked at Shang Lue: "We are all people from the Hades Academy. You know how we were orphans in the underworld before. No matter what Cui Ling's reasons are, you will personally Create another group of orphans. Now that the Underworld Academy has been closed, all the orphans will wander in Fengdu for the rest of their lives until the gods are extinguished. Is this the outcome you want?"
Shang Lue was silent for a long time, and then said briefly: "We have no choice."
Huang Si was puzzled: "Is there no way?"
Shang Lue nodded, his voice calm: "I know that you still retain the previous discipline and use part of the money you earn to raise orphans in the underworld. The same is true for most of us here, including me. Do it. But you know everything Hades has done to us before, everything the black and white impermanence has done to us, Hades cannot be saved. There will be victims, but it will be worth it in the long run. Don't be so short-sighted, Huang Si. "
After Shang Lue finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and continued:
"In addition... Cui Ling told me that he knows the location of the lonely soul box."
Huang Si's face was full of surprise: "How could you still be deceived by such lies?"
"No," Cui Ling interrupted the two of them and said, "It's true, and he has seen Shang Lue with his own eyes."
Looking at Huang Si's shocked expression, Cui Ling was satisfied.
The situation is now in his own hands again.
By the way, that's it for now. Let's also talk to Li Jianguo and let him know what the underworld he is currently working for is like.
Cui Ling turned to look at Li Jianguo and said with a smile: "Master Li must also be curious about what the lonely soul box is, right? Then let me tell Master Li the stories about all the orphans."
…
The so-called Minggu are the orphans of the Hades trained by the Mingyuan Academy. They are highly skilled in martial arts and have experienced hundreds of battles. They are the underworld...
"Wait a minute!" Li Jianguo shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not curious. If I'm not curious, can I stop listening? Well, if you tell a story, I won't listen. Otherwise, I'll go back first... "
The blade next to his neck was a little closer, and Li Jianguo could almost feel the cold air on the blade, which caused goosebumps all over Li Jianguo's body.
"Speaking of which, I really haven't heard the story of the Solitary Soul Box," Li Jianguo smoothly changed the subject, "Can you tell me, Mr. Lau Cui?"
Cui Ling gave Li Jianguo a roll of his eyes.
What were you talking about just now?
Oh, by the way, experienced in many battles.
…
Ming Gu is the top guard force belonging to Hades, and the pass rate of Ming Yuan Academy every year does not exceed 10%.
Of course, the unqualified people were not destroyed. Some of the unqualified people were engaged in daily miscellaneous work in the Hades Academy, while others changed their jobs and entered the underworld to make a living on their own, working hard to buy a bowl of Meng Po soup and reenter the reincarnation. .
As for those who pass the exam, they will gain the qualification of Ming Gu, and at the same time, they will also leave something permanently in Ming Yuan Academy: his spirit soul.
Because the ghosts are very powerful, Hades must ensure that it can fully control this army. Therefore, when they graduate, a highly skilled soul refiner will extract one of their three souls, the ghost spirit, and keep it in a specific container, which is the solitary soul box.
The Solitary Soul Box is only the size of a palm, but it contains all the ghost spirits of the Solitary Souls. Once a ghost ghost no longer obeys the jurisdiction of the Hades, the ghost ghost will be taken out and destroyed by the ghost ghost. Then, no matter how far away the ghost ghost is, his soul will immediately disappear.
During the Second Underworld Demon War, the Lone Soul Box disappeared from the heavily defended Underworld Academy.
This news was strictly blocked, and only a few people, including Black and White, knew about it.
Everyone knows the importance of this matter: if you control the Soul Box, you control the entire Minggu army. At that time, the Ming Guards and the Ming Gu worked together to resist the invasion of the demon clan. If the news of the missing soul box alone spread, the entire front would collapse in an instant.
Because no one knows whose hands the Lone Soul Box is in, and whether they will use the Lone Soul Box to control all the ghosts, and even make them fight against the swords of Hades.
On the ever-changing battlefield, Black and White argued against all opinions and believed that the orphans must be strictly guarded before the orphaned soul box was recovered; when the orphaned soul box was later confirmed to be stolen, they ignored the bull-headed and horse-faced general. protested and made a cold-blooded decision:
Eliminate all ghosts.
The reason is that the existence of such a special force that may pose such a big threat to Hades cannot be tolerated, especially at the critical moment of the battle between Hades and Demons.
They divided the unsuspecting Minggu troops into several groups and ordered them to attack several dangerous positions. Among them, Huang Si and his Minggu comrades were selected to destroy the Zhenyou Pond located east of Huangquan. The position: That is where the commander of the Demon Realm Alliance Army is located.
Black and White Wuchang promised that reinforcements were behind them and would soon replace them in the battle.
But no.
The Minggui who went deep into the hinterland were isolated and helpless, and most of them died in this battle.
There were more than 200 people in Huang Si's team, but only Huang Si returned and killed more than 8,000 monsters. The leader of the monsters was killed in the camp. The monsters fled in panic, and the second battle of the underworld monsters ended.
There were not many Minggu left in each team, and many people did not choose to return to Hades. They had already learned about the missing soul box one after another on the battlefield, and also knew that their mission was a fatal one. Although they won the battle, they knew that after returning to Hades, what might be waiting for them was not praise, but another hunt and death.
This is also true. After the second battle of the underworld monsters, Black and White Wuchang advocated the complete elimination of the remaining underworld ghosts, but he was refuted by Bao Zheng, Niu Tou MaMian, and Ye Ye Suo Ye in court.
Since then, the orphans have disappeared from Hades. Although the Hades Academy has been closed, a Hades Orphanage has been quietly opened in the Hades. From time to time, some unknown gold and silver donations will be made. The amount of money is not stable, but even in times of financial crisis, this money will not persist. Flow to the orphanage.
The Lone Soul Box disappeared after the second battle of the Underworld Demon, and no one knows its whereabouts to this day.
…
Cui Ling used a long vibrato at the end of the story, hoping to give Li Jianguo some deep-soul touches.
This story must have allowed Li Jianguo to know what kind of character he served in Hades.
Yes. Li Jianguo felt touched, but not in the direction Cui Ling expected.
Li Jianguo suddenly understood why Huang Si cared so much about every penny he earned, and why he hated Black and White Impermanence so much.
Huang Si is a man.
