That is a very old bridge, at least several thousand years old. The ancient stone slabs are full of traces left by people and animals stepping on them. Some are deep, some are shallow, and the depth is different. Sometimes there are three shallow and one deep, sometimes six shallow and one deep. There is no certainty.
There is a river under the bridge, with black and smelly water flowing. Just because of the smell, no one would stay in this place for long, but it was also a relatively safe place to avoid being disturbed.
The middle-aged man walked off the bridge and then came to an open space under the bridge. There was a layer of hay on the open ground and a tattered and dirty quilt, which was obviously his bed. There are also some bottles, cans and other utensils, which all look dirty and messy.
At first glance, this place seems like a place only beggars would live.
The middle-aged man sat on the quilt, took a piece of barbecue and started to eat it.
Xia Lei stood on the bridge and looked down at the middle-aged man, observing his every move and the surrounding situation.
The middle-aged man was obviously hungry. He wolfed down a piece of barbecue and then picked up a piece of black bread and started chewing on it. But apart from eating, the middle-aged man had no other strange behavior.
A group of night watch civilians came from the other side of the bridge, some of them drunk.
"Long live the Queen of Nirvana!"
"Hahaha... we will have a good life from now on!"
"In the past, those nobles looked down on us and bullied us, but now they have to live their lives depending on our faces!"
"Why don't we gather a group of people and go to settle accounts with those nobles who bullied us tonight!"
"Yes! Let's go and settle the accounts with them! They exploited us, and let them spit out the money they made from exploiting us tonight!"
"Also, they usually insult our women, but tonight we will insult their women!"
"Hahaha! That's what you have to do!"
"Why do they live in such a nice house? I want them to get out of their mansion tonight!"
A group of night watch civilians walked noisily across the bridge.
Xia Lei sighed in his heart and said secretly: "This is human nature. In the past, the nobles oppressed them and they endured it. Now that they have gained power, they go to the nobles to settle the matter and steal their money, mansions, and even women. It seems that it is understandable for the nobles of Doomsday City to resist desperately. It is not easy to be the queen of Huofeng. She needs to balance the interests of all classes, otherwise the new dynasty will also collapse. I hope she will lose interest after a while, and Then you are willing to come back to Earth with me."
He actually didn't want Huo Feng to be the Queen of Nirvana, but he had to fulfill the promise he made.
A civilian of the Night Watch who had just walked by suddenly turned around and said, "Hey! That boy, are you a lackey of the nobles?"
A few more civilians turned around.
"Catch him and beat him up, and he will definitely be interrogated."
"Looking at how well-dressed he is, he must be a slave of a noble."
"beat him!"
A group of drunkards came up.
Xia Lei frowned. He didn't want to cause trouble, but these guys didn't think so. To such a "mob", he wouldn't say anything even if he killed Huofeng, but enough people had died tonight, and he didn't want to kill anymore. What's more, there are thousands of such civilians, what's the use of killing just a few of them
The middle-aged man under the bridge raised his head and looked up. The noise above made him nervous.
Xia Lei sighed and suddenly disappeared into the void.
Several civilians were stunned on the spot.
"There was a person just now, why did he suddenly disappear?" someone said.
Someone rubbed his eyes, "Yes, I saw it too, but... why is it missing?"
"Let's go, you must be dazzled. You'd better drink less, otherwise when you go to the noble's house, you won't have the strength to seduce their women, hahaha..."
A group of civilians left noisily again.
Was there a noble lackey just now
They don't care, they just want to have fun now.
Just after they left, Xia Lei appeared from the void again, still in the same position just now. He wanted not to kill those civilians, so being invisible was his best option.
The middle-aged man under the bridge calmed down and continued to eat his black bread. He quickly finished all the food he bought, then lay down on the dirty quilt and muttered to himself, "What should I do next? I can't think of anything. I only had the idea of selling books, but now that the books are sold, what should I do?”
Xia Lei suddenly felt that he was so pitiful.
Suddenly, a "cluck" sound came from the middle-aged man's throat, and his eyes were closed and no longer opened. Soon, his neck tilted and his head turned to one side. That was his last movement, and there was no movement after that.
The "cluck" sound coming from the throat is the sound of dying.
Did he die like this
Xia Lei hurriedly jumped off the bridge and came to the middle-aged man's side. There was no need to reach out to explore the middle-aged man's nostrils. When he came to the middle-aged man's side, he confirmed the situation. The middle-aged man was indeed dead because his heart was no longer beating.
Although it is not strange for people in the past to suddenly die suddenly, is it too coincidental to happen to this middle-aged man
Xia Lei hesitated to revive him.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's chest suddenly grew. It was just a little bit at first, and then it swelled up in an instant. The sight felt like someone was inflating his stomach.
The middle-aged man's body swelled larger and larger.
Xia Lei suddenly caught a trace of energy, a very familiar energy breath.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's mouth opened, and his mouth was filled with blue energy roots. Later, more energy roots appeared on the middle-aged man's body, looking like a dead "blue-blooded man" with blue blood vessels covering his body.
After a while, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly opened, radiating with energy at that moment.
Xia Lei also called out a name at this time, "White Deer."
The middle-aged man in front of him has no characteristics of the White Deer, but the energy aura he captured just now is the energy aura of the White Deer.
The middle-aged man got up from the ground, "Yiyi, we meet again."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "The way you meet is really special."
Bai Lu said: "You know, this is the dark world of death. It's not easy for me to come here. I have to find a past body. I can't show up on the street, so I use a book seller. The way attracts you here. I know that you will definitely come here after seeing the books on earth."
This reason is not surprising to Xia Lei at all, because White Deer is the energy that opposes the universe, and it will also be suppressed when it comes to the dark world of death. If it is parasitic on the corpse of a person from the past, there will be no problem. But how it did it, Xia Lei didn't know.
"Congratulations, you finally got the piece." Bai Lu said straight to the point: "What are you going to do next?"
You really can’t wait! Xia Lei was thinking this in his heart, but his face remained calm. He thought for a moment and then said: "Of course I will go back to Earth to get other fragments to piece together the World Box. Then, I have to find the origin of the universe. This It’s not an easy task, the world of Dark Death is so big, it will take me some time to find the origin of the universe.”
Just as Xia Lei finished speaking, Bai Lu continued: "I have asked Origin City to bring those fragments. I also know where the origin of the universe is. You only need to bring the last fragment to Origin City, and Origin City will bring it to you." You go to the origin of the universe and carry out the final step of that mission.”
"Origin City came with the last fragment? Where is it?" Xia Lei's heart suddenly sank. He wanted to delay, but he didn't expect that the other party was in such a hurry that he didn't even give him time to rest and breathe.
Bai Lu said: "You will know this when the time comes. You only need to tell me when you plan to leave, and I will naturally make arrangements for you. Of course, the sooner the better, I hope you can go to the origin with me tomorrow at the latest city."
Xia Lei tried to capture Bai Lu's brain waves, but to no avail. The other party doesn't even have a brain, so there are no brain waves. And he knows that he still hasn't figured out how it is connected to the Queen of Rest across the world. It and the Queen of Rest are very special existences.
"Are you hesitating?" Bai Lu's voice had a hint of displeasure.
Xia Lei's heart was already more depressed and uncomfortable. He couldn't help but get angry when it said this, "The mission is to destroy the universe, can I not hesitate? I am the only one, I am the chosen one, This is my fate, so I have nothing to face it. But my wife and children are innocent, and there are so many innocent creatures, do they deserve to die?"
Bai Lu's voice turned cold, "Are you questioning the mission of the Creator?"
Xia Lei also said coldly: "So what?"
Bailu said: "Destruction is for reconstruction. Your mission is an extremely great and sacred mission. The only value of your existence is to complete that mission. If you question that mission, then you have no value and meaning of existence. "
Xia Lei sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Bai Lu said: "I won't threaten you. That mission has mechanisms that prompt you to complete the mission. If you trigger those mechanisms, not only will you be in danger, but everything you care about will be destroyed."
This is indeed a threat, but it's just put mildly.
Xia Lei took a deep breath and waited until his emotions calmed down before saying, "I have to think about it before I give you some time. Even if you want me to complete the mission, you have to give me some time to arrange it, right?"
"Okay, then I will give you another seven days." Bailu said, "After seven days, I will wait for you in the desert east of Doomsday City."
Xia Lei nodded. He had bought seven days. Within these seven days, he had to find the City of Origin, get the remaining fragments, and find out what countermeasures the six creators had left behind. Only by mastering the World Box and understanding the countermeasures left by the six Creators can he have the capital to fight the six Creators!
"Do you know why I gave you seven days?" Bai Lu suddenly said this.
"Why?" Xia Lei really wanted to punch him at this moment.
"The Seventh God, the ghost people call you the Seventh God, but don't think that you can really be on an equal footing with the six creators. You are the only one, just the only one." After saying that, it suddenly closed its eyes, and the one it controlled The middle-aged man's body also fell straight to the ground.
Xia Lei stood under the bridge and didn't move for a long time.
