"Who are you?"
After setting his pace, he turned around and looked at the man with a faint smile on his face. Huang Yi frowned and asked, "You said Zhou Li knew I would come back?"
"He told me to wait for you here."
Geralost snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can nearby. He stood up and stretched out his hand. The face of the somewhat weathered middle-aged man was full of smiles, "Introduce yourself, Gerost, a former demon hunter."
"Jerost?"
After hearing the name, Huang Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization and smiled, "I have heard of your name. The War Church in Jordan regards you as a god, as well as your friend."
Of course Gerost knew that Huang Yi was talking about Christine. In his mind, the figure who died silently appeared in his mind. He smiled and said easily: "Christine is much better than me. I am just a demon hunter." That’s all.”
"Then, Mr. Gerost, can you tell me what Zhou Li is going to do?"
Facing Huang Yi's inquiry, Gerost just lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath of smoke, swallowed it, and said calmly: "I don't know."
This answer caught Huang Yi off guard, but Gerost just smiled and shook his head, and continued: "He didn't tell me specifically. He just told me that after he left, I would wait in this hall for the man named Fant. Si pressed down and beat the man. You came, I waited, that's all."
Press and hit.
Although it was an indisputable fact, and there was even a hint of beautification in it, Huang Yi still twitched the corner of his mouth and clicked his tongue. Then he comforted himself that the man named Vanst was like a monster, and Zhou Lishang had to be beaten into a dog.
Then he learned the story of Zhou Li spending 10,000 yuan to bribe Fants to surrender.
Fuck you uncle, capitalist.
"Why did he ask you to wait for me?"
Taking Gerost's cigarette and holding it in his mouth, Huang Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "This kid is better than me in calculation. He didn't come to me personally but asked you to come to me. There must be something else." It means a lot."
"No."
Geralost shook his head honestly, "He just left in a hurry and didn't have time to find you, so he just asked me to bring you a message."
"Bring a message?"
Huang Yi frowned, "What are you talking about?"
"He said that you must want to know the truth about people becoming gods, so you will definitely come back."
Leaning on the stone pillar, Gerost looked at Huang Yi, but his eyes seemed to be looking at another person, "Zhou Li said that you are a person who is willing to risk his life for the truth. You said you were leaving, but you just You haven’t convinced yourself. And once you convince yourself, it means you have found the truth about Yin Jue’s becoming a god.”
"He really guessed it."
Huang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and surprised and shook his head. He still didn't understand why Zhou Li knew him so well, even better than he knew himself.
"He said, let us help you."
Gerost raised his chin, and Huang Yi realized that Zhou Li's friends had appeared behind him. A group of elites who have accumulated huge wealth and connections and are also very proficient in business are waiting for him.
"As long as your actions are reasonable, the wealth of the Al Chamber of Commerce and the Zisha Chamber of Commerce will be used as your operational funds, and we will also provide support and help to you."
Ain, who was wearing a long black and white dress, handed a document to Huang Yi and said calmly: "From now on, the United Chamber of Commerce will be your backing."
Huang Yi's mind went blank as he stared blankly at the huge amount of wealth in front of him. He turned his head and looked at Izzy beside him, as if he wanted to hear what she had to say.
"My advice is, take it."
Izzy was also unambiguous and said to Huang Yi directly: "You have been eaten to death by Mr. Zhou Li, so stop struggling."
At this time, Huang Yi also came back to his senses. He looked at this heavyweight wealth and the contract that would be his greatest constraint, and smiled with a strange expression.
"Damn, he's so calculating."
Looking at the strange expression on Huang Yi's face, Lin Zi shuddered. She remembered the conversation Zhou Li had with her a day ago.
*********************************
"Aren't you afraid that Huang Yi will betray you?"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, her delicate calves swayed gently. Lin Zi held a half-bitten apple and curiously asked Zhou Li: "You gave him so many things. If he goes directly to the Commercial Church, wouldn't we all be destroyed?"
"Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, don't doubt those who are employed."
Closing the book in his hand, Zhou Li glanced at Lin Zi and said disdainfully: "Do you think I would say such nonsense?"
"What do you think you're here for?"
Throwing the book aside, Zhou Li took the peeled apple from Eluma, took a bite, then stuffed the apple back into Eluma's hand, and said to Lin Zi: "I buried three mines next to Huang Yi. One is you and Ain, one is Gerost, and the other is Linghai and Kaya."
"Kaya?"
Lin Zi was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked in confusion: "She is only fourteen years old, are you serious?"
"Ah."
Zhou Li sneered, "You look down on the daughter of Kalis, right?"
"Kaya's strength far exceeds mine."
A cold voice sounded, and the door of the void was pushed open, and the figure of Linghai appeared in the room, "I only have the blessing of my mother, and the only thing I can mobilize is the void. But Kaya can mobilize the city of Kalis and the surrounding void. Moreover, she has experienced the baptism of the Goddess of Life, and her ability has actually surpassed that of Bright."
"Just because she doesn't want to, doesn't mean she won't."
"You and Ain's financial auditing abilities, the hunter Gerost's keen sense of smell and knowledge of gods. Linghai and Kaya's protection and support for you, as well as the presence of the eldest prince Evan."
"Huang Yi, I have eaten him to death a long time ago."
Zhou Li threw the apple core into the flowerpot with a smile on his face.
A bright smile.
***************************
Outside the black tomb, Arthur dug at the dirt on the wall with his gun as bored as possible, while Don Quixote and Tia stood guard. One of John and Dutch closed their eyes to rest, while the other curiously looked at the equipment on the surrounding soldiers, and strange and mysterious ideas kept appearing in his mind.
Ding!
Suddenly, Arthur's hand stopped, and a gray-black light flashed in his originally blue eyes. He pricked up his ears and closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something.
"coming."
He closed his eyes and whispered these two words. At the same time, Torea's voice sounded in the cave.
"A large number of crystal monsters are coming from the north!"
"I'll just say it."
He seemed satisfied with his sharpness, but also seemed a little tired. Arthur sighed, his hands began to touch his waist, and the black light in his eyes began to slowly boil.
Without hesitation or panic, after hearing the sound of the enemy attack, Tia and Don Quixote led their respective armies and left the tunnel in an orderly manner. There was no pushing or blocking during the whole process. These people fit everything in perfectly like precision parts.
After leaving the cave and seeing the light of day again, Arthur's eyes showed the terrifying crystal wave not far away. For the first time, Arthur felt fear.
Naked fear.
The waves covered the sky and the sun, and the crystals were densely covered on the earth like ants. There was no need to look down, just looking directly, there was only a miserable green light in Arthur's eyes. This was supposed to be a color that symbolized life, but now it represented killing and death.
"This is too much."
Even John, who had always been reticent, couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing this scene. Not to mention Dutch, he had already started looking for a way to escape.
"No need to run."
Arthur held his cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If we can't stop them, there is no need for us to run. We will all die anyway."
Everyone knew that Arthur was right. The characteristics of Jinggui are like locusts. They either stay in place and are slaughtered by others, or they can't grow any grass when they move. If they cannot stop these crystal monsters, it can be said that all civilizations behind them will be declared destroyed.
This is a kind of terrifying pressure. This time, not only Arthur and others, but also Don Quixote and Torea showed a slightly worried look on their faces. In Zhou Li's plan, the Crystal Creatures would definitely attack them, but Zhou Li had never imagined that there would be so many Crystal Creatures to attack them.
It was no longer a simple group, but a huge wave. The suffocating number of crystals made the usually calm Torea frown. Tia's performance exceeded other people's imagination. As the only legion commander who was not directly affiliated with Zhou Li, Tia and her Storm Legion were particularly calm when facing the wave of crystal conspiracies.
Lurka and the Drizzle Legion lurking in the mountains were ready to attack. They allowed these monsters to appear above their heads or on their faces, but they still concealed their bodies and did not leak any breath.
"We must fight on."
John's voice was a little hoarse, which was a sign of his nervousness. Although John remained expressionless on the outside, in fact, every nerve in John began to tremble.
"Damn it, I'm telling you there's no good in following this kid."
Dutch cursed and loaded the lever rifle, and the impactful professional energy was poured into the barrel. He looked at the group of crystal monsters that were getting closer and closer, like a tidal wave, with a fanatical expression on his face, "But... if I can kill one of these monsters, I can boast about it for the rest of my life."
"Then you have to be prepared to brag for the rest of your life."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded. After hearing this voice, for some reason, everyone felt a lot more at ease, as if they had found a backbone, and the original panic and hesitation were swept away.
Zhou Li walked up to Da Qi, patted the pale Da Qi on the shoulder, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Do you need video recording services? You can still have some capital when you brag in the future."
Having said that, regardless of the pale Dutch, Zhou Li walked to the side of Don Quixote, Torea and Tia, and beside him was the still calm Eluma.
"I got a truth."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the dense group of crystals. Zhou Li's expression was as usual, without any fear or solemnity of the enemy, "These monsters are incomplete."
"They're afraid, afraid that we're getting the truth."
It was not until the end that Zhou Li understood why such an important place was guarded by only a few Jinggui. According to common sense, a place where such important secrets are imprisoned should be the target that Jinggui devotes all his efforts to protecting.
fear.
Yes, fear.
Jinggui is afraid, and their nodes are all Jinggui who have brains, and having a brain represents wisdom and human emotions. And what these intelligent crystal spies fear the most is this land.
They were afraid of the truth, afraid of the giant door, and they were afraid that when the giant door opened, someone would learn the truth.
Because the radiant crystal is the remains of the pioneers.
These crystal monsters are a group of poor people who forcibly fused the remains of the pioneers. They have extraordinary power, but their consciousness cannot bear the spirit left by the pioneers' remains, and they fall into madness.
They feared the land because they were the sinners who had stolen the remains. This land is the place where they fear from the bottom of their souls, and it is also the land where they surrender from the bottom of their hearts. If a crystal ghost stays on this pioneer's grave for a long time, his body will be recaptured by human consciousness.
Although the bodies of Jinggui whose bodies have been taken back by human consciousness can roughly return to human appearance, the blood flowing in their bodies is still not blood. These freaks with crystal bodies and human consciousness were squeezed out by civilization and barbarism at the same time. Until twenty years ago, a man named Yin Jue accepted them and let them settle in the underground black market.
This is the origin of Detective Pinkerton.
"For Jinggui, having his consciousness taken away by humans is the most terrifying punishment."
A tarot card appeared in Zhou Li's hand. After throwing it out, a figure appeared in the desert.
The magician lowered the brim of his hat, and strange patterns flashed in his eyes. He looked at the group of hesitant and roaring crystal spies, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "After we became Pinkerton detectives, these crystal spies discovered the horror of this land. . If my estimate is correct, they should have occupied this land and killed the people on it, but only left a few mentally retarded Node Jinggui, right?"
"You guessed it quite clearly."
Facing Zhou Li's words, the magician snorted coldly. Looking at this group of species with the same structure as himself, the disgust in the magician's eyes was undisguised, "Don't forget, I was once one of these monsters."
"Where's what I want?"
The west of Tarik is not within the scope of the void, so in this land, the spiritual sea and Kaya's proud void abilities have no effect. Therefore, as early as the magician showed his ability to move in space, Zhou Li constructed a plan in his heart.
"It's all here."
Hathaway's voice sounded from Zhou Li's side, and along with her small figure appeared dizzying explosives and magic grenades.
The magician's ability to travel through space can only be used in places in the west where radiant crystals are abundant and not restricted by the Tariq government. Hathaway's abilities can be used in Tariq's city.
Therefore, if you want to transport large quantities of things to this land destined to be a battlefield, then these two people are indispensable.
"Dongfeng Express must achieve its mission."
Soon, these explosives full of martial virtue were quickly distributed to the hands of various soldiers. Zhou Li smiled as he looked at Jinggui who was preparing to organize an attack and tear everything here to pieces.
A bright smile.
