Wang Shu's mouth twitched when he heard Gu Beichen's words. This guy had stayed in the Red Moon Temple for so long and had the opportunity to truly join the Red Moon Temple, but he never considered himself as a member of that place
The two had been together for a very long time, so long that Wang Shu knew Gu Beichen's character very well and had some guesses about his thoughts:
"You don't like that place very much?"
"Uh? What did you say?" Gu Beichen looked a little embarrassed, and even seemed to be asking a question even though he already knew the answer.
"I mean, do you really dislike the Red Moon Temple?"
"Are you kidding? That is the temple of warlocks, the home of taboos. I have achieved the dreams that many warlocks have never achieved in their lifetime. How could I not like that place..."
Gu Beichen's eyes were shaking violently. He didn't like the feeling of being seen through.
In fact, for a long time in the Red Moon Temple, he felt that he had disguised himself very well.
At least when he was in the Red Moon Temple, no one could tell that he didn't like it. It was not easy to hold it in for so long.
"Have you ever considered coming back? In fact, you can completely change your identity."
Wang Shu put forward his own idea, but Gu Beichen shook his head.
"There's no need to escape like that. Everyone has something to do. I feel like you guys are doing something amazing, and I can't be too far behind."
Gu Beichen drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, his eyes showing a vicissitudes of life.
Wang Shu was surprised. He didn't expect Gu Beichen to have such ideological awareness. He really has grown!
"It's good that you think that way."
"Oh, it's okay." Gu Beichen smiled casually.
Does he not want to change his identity and become a citizen of Zion? Of course he does, after all, everyone wants a stable life.
Moreover, Zion’s public welfare is among the best among the four city-states, and it also has iconic places such as the City That Never Sleeps and the Red Light District.
Unlike the lighthouse, when you don’t have a partner, you have to go to Guangming Bathhouse to solve the problem.
But if he stayed here, he would most likely become an ordinary warlock or Xu Le's subordinate.
Become Xu Le's subordinate? Are you kidding me... Unless the world is destroyed, this will never happen.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that you have your own ideas."
"the same as you."
"To the light."
"Well, to the light."
Although only one year has passed, so much has happened between them and so many things have changed. It is actually quite difficult to preserve the friendship they had at the beginning.
…
The core of the furnace, here is the Ancient Yinduo Tree.
Rona was not abused, beaten, or interrogated, and Xu Le even brought her some water and food.
"I didn't expect you to be so polite to me."
"Of course, I'm a gentleman." Xu Le said with a smile.
"Gentleman? A gentleman wouldn't make a move during the most basic introduction to a warlock."
Xu Le hesitated for a moment.
"This matter... is all the fault of that toad. I'll help you scold it later."
"Okay, tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Why did the Red Moon Temple send you spies here? To sabotage? I don't think I've heard anything about the Red Moon Temple being sabotaged."
Xu Le's expression was somewhat curious. Rona glanced at him. She originally thought that Xu Le would ask some secrets about the Red Moon Temple, but she didn't expect him to ask such a meaningless question.
“How would we know about the affairs of the higher-ups? The Red Moon Temple sent us out, and our main job is just to gather information.
You guys are being so secretive here, so I naturally have to investigate the situation here."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Are there many spies in the Red Moon Temple?"
"How is that possible? There are very few spies. After all, it is very difficult to train a loyal spy."
"Are you loyal then?"
"You used to be very loyal." Rona's expression changed slightly.
The conversation between Xu Le and her was not an interrogation at all, but more like a chat between ordinary friends.
Rona was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Don't you want to know something about the Red Moon Temple? For example, the secret you mentioned before."
"No, no, no, the secret I'm talking about is not about the Red Moon Temple."
"It's not about the Red Moon Temple? Then what kind of secret is that?"
"I have no interest in the Red Moon Temple. What I want to know is information about fate. There should be many Red Moon Warlocks in the Red Moon Temple. You all are beings who control fate.
Can you tell me about your analysis of the Ancient Sound Destiny Cards? "
Hearing this, Rona's brows deepened.
"You and Zhou Di both have the same idea of escaping fate, right? But he failed, and you succeeded. Since you have escaped the intervention of fate, why do you still want to know this kind of information at this time?"
"It's not so easy to escape fate. I'm just lucky. Apart from being handsome, I don't have many advantages. My best feature is my love of learning.
I really like the Ancient Sound and Multiple Fates cards, but I don’t want to be bound by Ancient Sound and Multiple Fates, so I want to ask.
You are all warlocks of the Red Moon Temple. Why are you so close to the power of Gu Yinduo? When you were promoted and approached the taboos of Gu Yinduo, how did you avoid the prying eyes of fate? Did you comply or resist? "
Luo Na felt very strange at the way Xu Le was willing to learn. She even forgot that Xu Le had just joked about how handsome he was.
Xu Le didn't even ask about the thing she originally wanted to hide, which made Rona feel confused.
“The Red Moon Temple has always been laissez-faire about the power of ancient sounds and taboos. Not only that, it even has some intention of supporting them. It is in this environment that we gradually come into contact with the things related to ancient sounds and taboos.
This is true for the Gu Yin Duo Destiny Card, and the Human Life Refining Formation… "
"Hey, hey, hey, you just need to tell me about the Gu Yinduo Destiny Card. I don't want to know anything else."
Xu Le quickly interrupted Rona, he was too lazy to know about such things.
Well
Rona was not used to it, but she still changed the subject back to what Xu Le had originally asked.
"Starting from becoming a Level 2 Red Moon Warlock, every Red Moon Warlock needs to start accumulating the power of destiny. From this point on, correct guidance is called following destiny, and incorrect guidance is called going against destiny.
Two modes, one is more inclined towards belief, and the other is more inclined towards stealing…”
Rona taught Xu Le some of the ancient multi-fate secrets commonly used in the Red Moon Temple. Xu Le carefully recorded them and then nodded to Rona:
"I'm fine."
"Okay? Is this what you call a secret exchange?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Regarding the Red Moon Temple itself..."
Xu Le waved his hand again and emphasized:
"It's best not to know things that you shouldn't know. In exchange, I should also tell you the secret of the furnace. The purpose of this place is to use the strange ancient sound to extract energy, pure energy."
Looking at the blue soap, Rona was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"What an amazing technology. Maybe one day Zion will be able to use technology to change the future as you say."
"We are working hard." Xu Le smiled.
"But your ideas are really different from most people. If someone catches me and has the opportunity to interrogate me like this, they will definitely not let me go."
Regarding what Rona said, Xu Le explained:
“The reason I don’t want to find out is because I don’t want to cause myself trouble. As long as I don’t ask you about the Red Moon Temple, then you will have failed the mission normally. It’s about the relationship between you and the Red Moon Temple.
But if I know too much and get involved in too many things, then when I investigate, it will become a relationship between me and the Red Moon Temple. But I know that the Red Moon Temple has the ability to kill the evil god head-on. Not knowing is the best way to protect myself.
I, Xu Le, always fear the gods. "
“You know quite a lot.”
"Is there any news that I need to pass on to Mr. Gu Beichen?"
"Him? He's so stupid, there's nothing you can do to use him."
When mentioning Gu Beichen, Rona's voice was a little soft, and her words seemed a bit like the final protection for Gu Beichen.
This should be considered a bit of kindness towards Gu Beichen.
"Warlock Gu Beichen is my best friend, so...is there anything else you want me to convey to him?"
Rona was stunned again. She wanted to sneer at Xu Le's words, but she couldn't do it.
After holding it in for a long while, she finally smiled with relief:
"I didn't expect that he was the one who hid the most. I don't think I have anything to tell her..."
"Understood."
…
When they returned to the factory, everyone else was normal, but Gu Beichen was drunk and lying on the sand.
Wang Shu seemed to be a little worried about him, so he just stood beside him and didn't leave.
Seeing Xu Le coming over, Wang Shu said:
"When I was chasing the last monster, someone killed the escapee. He was a very strong master. I didn't take any risks."
Xu Le thought for a while and nodded:
"If it's someone standing outside inspecting the furnace, then he's most likely a top expert from Zion itself."
"Zion's own masters? Then why didn't they intervene in advance?" Wang Shu was a little surprised.
"Intervene? Why intervene?"
"Shouldn't they stop the attackers?"
Xu Le saw that Wang Shu had a cigarette in his mouth, but he was too surprised to light it, so Xu Le kindly helped him light it.
"Brother Shu, have you put yourself on the side of justice?"
"Ah?" Wang Shu was stunned again.
“For Zion’s real top masters, that is, those defenders at the power level, there is actually no difference between us and Wang Xi.
Whether it's smelting monsters through furnaces, creating new energies, or fitting in with the Sons of Ancient Yinduo and joining new factions.
To the protective forces at the highest levels of Zion, we are all equally dangerous, so in their eyes we are all the same.”
"Then why did you take action at the end?"
"Because the one who can survive the game is the right one."
After hearing Xu Le's explanation, Wang Shu nodded and pointed at Gu Beichen on the ground.
"He's drunk."
"He drank a lot of farts, but his heart was so volatile. He must be pretending."
Xu Le ruthlessly exposed Gu Beichen. After being exposed by Xu Le, Gu Beichen squinted his eyes unhappily and sat up from the sand pile.
After getting up, he didn't say much, just stood there and sighed.
"Why… "
"Why are you sighing?" Wang Shu asked. When they were drinking just now, Gu Beichen seemed quite happy, but why did he look so depressed when Xu Le came
Gu Beichen ignored Wang Shu and turned to look at Xu Le:
"Is she dead?"
"Yeah." Xu Le nodded.
Then Xu Le took out a small yellow crystal from his pocket. This crystal was much purer than the others and did not have that turbid feeling as if it was mixed with shit.
"What's this?"
"The relic that Warlock Rona left for you."
Gu Beichen was stunned for a moment, then quickly held the small pure yellow crystal in his hand.
"Xu Le, are you and I destined to be in conflict?"
"What do you mean?"
"You stabbed all the girls I had feelings for, you beast... Ugh!"
This time Gu Beichen really cried, but he was not as sad as the last time when Li Shunliu died. Perhaps it was because their feelings were not deep enough, or maybe it was because Rona did not look very pretty, and Gu Beichen himself had grown up, so he did not look like he was going to break up with Xu Le like last time.
"She is a spy for the Red Moon Temple."
"I guessed it."
"I didn't expect you to become smarter."
Gu Beichen glanced Xu Le up and down, then asked for a cigarette from Wang Shu and snatched the lighter from Xu Le.
Light it up for yourself.
"Ahem..."
After coughing several times in succession, Gu Beichen finally got used to the smell of the smoke. He glanced at Wang Shu with some resentment.
"Why do you smoke such a strong flavor?"
"I am a warrior."
After Gu Beichen finished smoking his cigarette, he stood up again, cheered himself up and took a few steps forward.
With his back to the moon, Gu Beichen turned around and said to Xu Le:
"I will take over from Rona and become the new spy of the Red Moon Temple."
Hearing Gu Beichen say this, it was Xu Le's turn to be surprised. He had originally had the same idea and was thinking about how to persuade Gu Beichen.
I didn't expect Gu Beichen to take the initiative to bring it up.
“Was this a deliberate decision?”
"Xu Le, just like you once said, if a person wants to be respected, he must have his own value.
So I want to have my own career and achievements, I want to become an indispensable figure in the Red Moon Temple, I want to become..."
Before he finished his passionate declaration, Gu Beichen discovered that Xu Le and Wang Shu were already squatting on the side.
"How's the dinner for dinner?" Xu Le asked.
"It's okay." Wang Shu replied.
"Are there any left? I didn't eat much."
"I left it for you."
Seeing the two of them being so close, Gu Beichen felt sad and angry:
"Xu Le, you are going too far!"
…
The next morning, in the Parliament Office Building, Mrs. Archie walked quickly to her office and picked up a newspaper from her desk that her assistant prepared for her every day.
Zion Morning Post
Recently, Zion Progressive has released a new type of Moonstone weapon.
Councillor Goode proposed that Zion provide temporary residence permits and work permits to non-indigenous people to facilitate rational allocation and management.
15 things you need to prepare for when approaching the Kuroshio Current.
Archie turned the newspaper over and over and read it several times.
But she never saw the news she was expecting...
"Did Wang Xi's people fail?"
At this moment, the guard outside knocked on the door, and Archie suddenly had a bad feeling.
She took out a pistol from her drawer and put it on her body, then said:
"What's up?"
"Ma'am, Lord Morn invites you to testing area No. 5."
"Did Lord Morn say specifically what it was?"
"Lord Morn said that we will witness a new miracle in Zion today."
