After agreeing, Luo Wu sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, but after a moment, he found that there was no movement at all.
My daughter didn't open the door and didn't respond.
Luo Wu suddenly stood up, reached out to grab the long sword beside him, and walked to the door calmly. He stretched out his hand and opened the door little by little. After opening the door halfway, he suddenly found that outside the door was not a passage, but the underground city he had explored before.
He seemed to still be on the hillside of the entrance, and could still see the underground city below illuminated by flares, when a voice sounded beside him.
"Sir, I didn't expect that the entrance to the basement would lead to such a place. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid we would never find such a discovery even if we explored it for a lifetime."
Luo Wu felt a surge of horror in his heart, as if he was trapped in some kind of loop. He turned around decisively, and the quiet room disappeared. Behind him was the Hell Castle Exploration Team, all wearing black and red armor.
"My Lord, my Lord?"
Next to him, the subordinate wearing striped clothes and a mustache looked at Luo Wu with some concern.
Luo Wu raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then said: "Stop exploring and return first."
Everything happened again.
Luo Wu left the underground city and returned to Hell Castle a few days later. After cleaning himself up, he went to the quiet room, sat cross-legged and looked at the door.
After a while, there was no sound of my daughter knocking on the door.
It seems that everything is normal.
But at this moment, the long sword placed horizontally on the sword rack behind Luo Wu, his back was reflected in the bright sword body.
Just as Luo Wu was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, the figure in the sword body stood up, then turned around. The figure continued to enlarge in the sword body, and finally, Luo Wu's face appeared on the sword body.
In those two eyes, the figure of Luo Wu in the real world was reflected, with his back to the long sword!
... ... ..
Skyfort.
At the military command center, Cheng Xin, the military recorder, left the command center an hour early today. After the fortress war against Jingtao Fort was over, leaving work as soon as the work was completed had become Cheng Xin's normal routine.
Old Commander Chu Yan, who was becoming more and more respected, finally removed the prefix of "acting" from his previous title of city lord after the New Year and officially became the city lord of Qingtian Castle.
After he took office, he promulgated a new work rule that as long as the work of the day is completed, you can go home immediately. At present, this rule is being tried out in the management of the fortress. If it is indeed effective, it will be promoted to other departments.
As a beneficiary of the new regulations, Cheng Xin now has unprecedented enthusiasm for work every day. As long as he actively completes his work for the day, he can leave work early and do what he is interested in.
He can go to the city corridor to enjoy the evening, go to the restaurant to taste delicious food, go to the bar to squander his youth... ... .
In short, this new rule made him redefine his life.
“Go to the restaurant to eat first, then go to the bar to drink, and go home at 11 o'clock in the evening. This way I don’t have to be forced to go on blind dates.” The recorder happily decided how to allocate his private time.
When he passed by the fortress's electronic room, he saw that the number of people coming in and out of the gate had doubled or even more than usual.
"Speaking of which, it seems that after the New Year, the Fortress's system has had some problems. At the last meeting, the Strategic Department
The old minister Wade is still complaining that the machines in their department are too old and want to replace them with new ones. "
"But I heard from the maintenance department of the computer room that it had nothing to do with the machine. It was mainly because the fortress's system lost resources for unknown reasons after the New Year, which caused the system to run slowly and make frequent errors."
"In my opinion, the fortress's systems are several decades old, and the machines should be replaced."
The recorder who was talking to himself suddenly found himself about to hit someone when he turned a corner. Fortunately, the man dodged flexibly and Cheng Xin did not collide with him.
He quickly said to the other party: "Sorry, I didn't hit you, did I?"
But the man ignored him and left quickly. Because he walked so fast, Cheng Xin only caught a glimpse of the other person's profile.
It was a man in his thirties, wearing a computer room maintenance uniform. Cheng Xin was sure that he didn't know the man, but for some reason, he felt that the man looked quite familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
He stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then shook his head, laughed at himself, and quickly left.
The computer room maintenance worker who was almost bumped by Cheng Xin just now came to the door of the computer room and walked in with his head lowered. He quickly moved between various passages and came to an empty corner very skillfully. Then he took out a communication machine and connected it to a port with a data cable.
The screen of the communicator flashed for a while, and then words appeared: You are here... Yuan Shu.
There was a reason why Cheng Xin felt that this person was familiar. After all, this was the face of the former city lord Yuan Shu when he was young.
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "What a hassle! Do I have to run to this damn place to contact you now?"
It took several seconds for new text to appear on the screen: There is no other way. I am using the resources of the entire fortress to cover for my clone. Thanks to you, through the communicator you found for me last time, I have already hacked into the Golden Court's system.
"I have to say that the Golden Council's system performance is very powerful, and its computing power is not on the same level as that of the Skyfort. Even for me, it is a very difficult task to invade their system while taking into account disguise."
'Under the circumstances, I cannot waste extra resources on communicating with you. I can only contact you here.'
"Then again, with your ability, it shouldn't be that difficult to sneak in here."
Yuan Shu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that you will soon be able to place your data clone in the Golden Court's system. In that case, should you fulfill your promise and give me the knowledge to create a human body?"
After a few seconds, the text on the screen was refreshed.
"I would like to give it to you right now, but that knowledge cannot be explained in a few words. It involves a very large knowledge system, involving genes, biology, asexual reproduction and other fields."
'With the remaining resources I have at my disposal, it would take several days to give you this complete set of system knowledge, even if it is downloaded.'
"So, my suggestion is that after a while, when my condition stabilizes, I will teach you everything I know. What do you think?"
Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I believe you, but you'd better not play tricks on me. Otherwise, you know very well what I can do."
This time the text on the screen refreshed quickly: Of course I know.
Yuan Shu then unplugged the data cable, put away the communicator, and turned around.
Afterwards, without arousing anyone's suspicion, he quietly walked out of the computer room.
... ... ..
In Twilight Castle, in the inner city, in the palace 'Phoenix Palace' where the queen resides, report after report was continuously delivered to the palace, making the eunuchs who were reading the newspapers sweat profusely and their hands and feet weak from reading.
"Your Majesty, the latest news has come from the sacrificial hall. Twenty newly prepared sacrifices have just been presented to Lord Midnight."
"Your Majesty, more than a dozen priests have just been assimilated by Lord Ziye..."
"Report to Your Majesty... The chief priest has been dragged underground by Lord Ziye..."
"Your Majesty, Lord Ziye is attacking the altar, and Miss Xia You is trying her best to appease him..."
"Your Majesty..."
A figure suddenly stood up from the throne: "Enough!"
"A bunch of idiots. It's been so long and they haven't come up with a solution yet."
"I'd better go to the sacrificial hall by myself."
Several eunuchs hurriedly tried to stop him: "You must not do that, Your Majesty. The sacrificial hall is extremely dangerous right now. You are worth a million dollars, how can you easily put yourself in danger?"
The figure on the throne snorted and said, "If something goes wrong with Lord Midnight, it will be a question whether our Twilight Castle can survive. Now, is there anything more dangerous than this?"
"Get ready!"
The eunuch had no choice but to pass the order outside the palace gate: "Prepare the emperor."
A moment later, the queen of Twilight Castle arrived near the sacrificial hall under heavy protection. Before she entered the hall, she heard all kinds of horrible shouts and screams coming from inside.
Moreover, dark shadows were thrown out from the hall, landed on the buildings and on the ground. They turned out to be human hands, feet, and even heads!
Seeing this, a general in charge of protecting the queen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the hall is too dangerous. Let me take you back?"
"Go in, I won't say it again!" The queen had made up her mind.
The general had no choice but to order his guards to form a battle array and enter the sacrificial hall as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
As soon as they passed the gate, people could smell a strong smell of blood. There was blood, meat scraps and hair everywhere on the ground, pillars and walls.
When they arrived at the lobby square, people began to wonder if they had kicked into a carpet. There was a river of blood, and countless broken limbs, terrified heads, and various human organs were floating on the sticky red liquid.
In the entire square, there was only a relatively clean place on the southwest side of the altar, where a petite figure lay. She was Xia You, the girl who could calm the terrifying thing under the altar.
But now, the girl seemed to have fallen into a coma and was unconscious.
Looking at the altar again, the stone platform had been overturned, and fleshy tentacles stretched out from it, twisting wildly under the night sky.
"Lord Ziye!"
The Twilight Queen took a step forward and cried out in the direction of the altar: "Sleep, sleep peacefully! I, Feihua, the 32nd generation leader of the Yuu Clan, beg you to sleep!"
The flesh and blood tentacles towering in the night sky paused for a moment, but after a moment, they twisted even more wildly.
Moreover, beneath the altar, a huge aura was rising rapidly, like a beast in a cage, making its final charge!
