After Wu Ci’s death, the world entered the Spirit-Taming Era, teetering on the brink of apocalypse.
Evil gods ruling over the heavens, a sunless earth, corrupted beings infused with demonic...
One sentence can offend all forces
Wu Ci felt his eyes go dark. He was either nailed to the glass-covered display wall and had to nail himself back after coming down, or he had to climb down and throw the two people in front of him out.
No one! No one!
Since he came here, no one, except Zhen Shanhe, has spoken to him like this and not paid the price!
For an old-fashioned person like Wu Ci who lived in a weird society 20 years ago where young people regarded flesh entanglement as a scourge, this was really too rude... Compared with this, the capitalist methods of Zhen Shanhe were not humiliating!
Anyone can say that he is insidious, cunning, greedy and hypocritical... Just like 20 years ago, everyone can slander him as a murderer, slander him for burning and looting, slander him for inciting riots, slander him for killing people and massacring cities, say he is a racist, say he started a war, say he committed crimes against humanity, and treat him as a small clown... He can endure it, and when he can't resist, he can always endure it calmly.
However, we must never slander him by thinking that he has such dirty carnal desires!
He and those ugly humans are like humans and insects. Even if he likes some pretty-looking insects, it is impossible for him to have such so-called desire for insects!
Maybe some people think this is not shocking enough, well, let's be more intuitive, like humans and edible animals such as pigs/lambs, which is an absolute insult to witchcraft.
Normally, he could still barely brainwash himself and regard those relatively nice and polite humans as his own kind, but once he reached this point, it was difficult for him to maintain his superficial calm.
Stay calm...stay calm, be decent. For the sake of authenticity, Zhen Shanhe nailed the metal staff on his chest to restrict the flow of spiritual power. As long as the metal staff is on him, he cannot summon heroic spirits and will definitely not be able to defeat the unknown Chen Yi.
But it would be undignified for him to pull out the nail himself and then the metal rod. It was inappropriate to talk to them in such an undignified way after being humiliated.
A normal, rational person would definitely not do this, as it would only make him appear eager to prove himself.
He should have acted calmer, more nonchalant and indifferent.
Yes, think of something else.
In addition to his own humiliation, he also suffered misfortune for his family.
Yes, family misfortune, family misfortune!
Wu Ci successfully diverted his attention, but was so angry that his eyes were dizzy.
How could a girl from his family get into such a scandal with the same man!
It must be Dust Migration’s fault!
This guy must have deceived the empty-headed Ines for money and sex, climbed to the position of executive and had affairs with multiple women. The evidence is that his ex-girlfriend's initials are tattooed around his neck! Now he is even thinking of changing his mind and seducing his kid in front of him!
Although Wu Ci did not want to have anything to do with the original family of the simulated identity "Dextall", but... Miss Forster seemed to be quite liked by Ines, and she was very polite and confident. Her current behavior must be due to her young age and ignorance, and she was corrupted by the bad men outside.
After all, the Folst family was able to allow a female heir to the title because she was the only heir left alive, and it could be said that she was raised by Inès, so no one objected.
But Ines, who raised her, was not very smart, and Wu Ci understood this very well, so it was natural for the child to develop some bad habits such as being a philanderer or being deceived by men.
Yes, that's right. No matter how you think about it, it's a problem of the social environment. The girl in his family did nothing wrong.
Wu Ci maintained his apparent calmness. In just a short moment, he had quickly extracted blood and vitality to resupply the brain with the blood it needed to restore brain function, and thought about the future of his girls.
According to common sense, he should have just gotten rid of Chen Qian. If they had a child, it should have been aborted. Letting his daughter give birth to a strange hybrid was simply the most stupid and physically harmful behavior.
But what if Ines's empty head can't think of a way out and she gets angry?
Wu Ci understood that Ines had a very strong possessiveness in her vicious little head. The fact that Chen Qian had so many ex-girlfriends and had not yet had his limbs chopped off and been imprisoned for torture proved that this guy had a very special position in Ines's heart!
Ines is very powerful on the surface, and Wu Ci still needs her help. Although he is sure that Ines seems unlikely to go against his words, he still has to make multiple preparations and not let Ines' relationship become strained.
"Ah, is the criminal dead?"
While he was thinking, Miss Forster came to the glass cover at some point and looked curiously at Wu Ci's head which was lowered to save energy.
"This is a member of the Seven Sins Council. It's best if he's dead. We can't see him in his normal state." Chen Qian smiled and knocked on the glass cover, pointing to the metal staff that pierced Wu Ci's chest. "That's the [Spirit System], a special treasure that interrupts the spiritual power circuit in the body, blocks the flow of spiritual power, and summons heroic spirits. It's a combination of technology and the ability of Director Zhen Shanhe.
It can be said that the [Spirit System] is the most valuable thing on this psychic train besides the train itself, and it must not be lost, so Director Zhen Shanhe sent me to guard it."
Chen Qian whistled, "Most of the necromancers are nothing but their spiritual power and heroic spirits. He is lucky to have managed to survive until now."
Indeed, if he was really an ordinary exorcist, even at the level of an executive, he would be nailed to death here like an ordinary human because he could not use his spiritual power.
But Wu Ci had the flesh and blood authority of Ying Yuan Ji Xing Tian Zun's camp. He could recover from these external injuries through the vitality of the flesh and blood he had devoured before, without the need for spiritual power, and keep himself alive so as not to suffocate or bleed to death.
Zhen Shanhe might have calculated this accurately. This can prove whether he is truly a person favored by the Heavenly Lord, and it is also a warning.
If he was real, but did not have time to accumulate enough blood and vitality to keep him alive during the train journey, there would be nothing to complain to the Heavenly Master even if he died.
Even if the flesh and blood had enough vitality, Zhen Shanhe could use it to give him some pain, in retaliation for him trying to resist by relying on the power of Tianzun.
This was a warning, Zhen Shanhe was warning him not to be too presumptuous.
"Since he's dead, I can just dismantle the [Spiritual System] and take it home, and leave work early."
Chen Qian looked at Wu Ci for a moment, then raised his hand and used his identity bracelet to swipe open the protective cover made of special glass.
[Identified: Executive Officer. Dust Migration]
[Verification passed, access allowed]
[Note: Your life belongs to the Sky Group. Please follow the rules and regulations to take protective measures, pay attention to safety, and protect the precious assets of the Group]
A red light lit up under the exhibition stand and it opened automatically. Chen Qian grabbed the handle of the metal staff with his specially gloved hands.
——Twitched once, but nothing happened.
Looking up, he saw a pale hand grabbing the other end of the cane without any barrier, and Chen Qian was unable to move the cane with both hands.
There was even a conical steel nail on the wrist of the opposite hand. Because of the forced struggle just now, the steel nail was inserted deeper and stuck into the bone, causing the wrist to be deformed and bloody.
The young man wearing the pure white faceless mask raised his head, as if the strength to pull the cane to prevent it from being pulled out was fake. He opened his mouth to speak but coughed weakly as if he was about to die, and his heart would stop beating in the next second.
From the sound of the young man's cough, Dust Migration could tell that his trachea was filled with blood and his lungs were probably about to stop working.
But the young man was still very persistent. His brain was clear and organized, trying to finish what he wanted to say in a calm tone, "Duty Executive, as a public official, your judgment is not verified."
"Do you really intend to be killed by a random order from Zhen Shanhe?" Chen Qian raised his eyebrows and said to the young man unexpectedly, "Before the train leaves, quickly dismantle it and find an underground clinic to replace your original lung, which already has a big hole in it, with an artificial one. Then quickly return to the wilderness. You can still survive."
It was inexplicable... Did this guy want to save him? Let him escape to the wilderness? Wu Ci raised his eyes, but he couldn't see Chen Qian's expression clearly through the mask because of the blurred vision.
He only heard Chen Qian say, "If it weren't for Cecilia's request, I wouldn't be willing to risk being punished by Zhen Shanhe to save a man."
Wuci paused, "...Cecilia?"
"Ex-girlfriend." Chen Qian pointed to the first letter on his neck. "Don't talk if your trachea is full of blood. Listen to me, she is worried about your brother who has no blood relationship with her, so she specifically found me, a toy that was kicked away a long time ago, and said that the Ministry of Finance can try to reimburse me for unreasonable expenses in the future."
Wu Ci held his breath and tried not to cough. He remained silent for a moment, looking dignified and serious. "You deserve to die, kid."
His voice was too soft, and because his trachea was full of blood, it was too unclear. Chen Qian didn't hear clearly, so he leaned in and asked, "What did you say?"
Wu Ci turned his head away, not wanting to answer him with his trachea and respiratory tract full of blood.
But the scene didn't cool down for long.
"Cecilia? The famous singer and dancer? Movie star?" Miss Forster tilted her head and smiled.
If the lady is willing, as a famous socialite, she is certainly good at resolving awkward situations.
Countess Folster's eyes moved with sorrow. She looked at Chen Yi, then at Wu Ci who was nailed to the exhibition stand, and smiled softly, "I heard rumors that she has become the Minister of Finance, an executive officer at the same level as you. Soon, the news will announce this news... So who is this person?"
"I would love to answer your question, but I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't know for now. The identity of this [MP] is confidential." The Dust Removal Hat apologized to the lady.
Countess Foster suddenly became serious. She carefully adjusted her attire, took a step back, lifted her skirt and bowed to Wuci. "Then, I guess you are also a noble man or a superior. I was indeed offended just now by interrupting you when you were performing a necessary task. You are a person worthy of respect."
She originally thought Wuci would not answer, but Wuci coughed twice and said, "Ines has taught you good manners."
Miss Foster sensed something strange in his address. "Sir Dexter, are you related to Lady Ines?"
"Ahem... um... why... ahem... your exclamation is - [Dextal]?"
These words seemed to have touched upon some system-defined keyword; Miss Foster instantly changed into the look of a devout fanatic, tapping her forehead with one hand to express her conviction, and using the other hand to draw a net-like holy emblem on her chest with her fingers.
She didn't even bother to look at Chen Qian, the town's executive officer, and shouted enthusiastically, "This is the ban that Lady Ines has been telling the royal family and nobles for so many years!
Sooner or later, Archduke Dextal will return from the chess game and replace Sir Silver as the new god who controls all classes and status in the world, making the Solomon Empire great again!
This world will sooner or later become a paradise for our nobles! The Sky Group and the current fools are nothing more than a bunch of insects that can be crushed with a single move!"
Witch's words: "..."
Dextal's vest can only be used as a black spirit and cannot be related to the original body in any way.
——Although that was what he had originally intended.
Otherwise, with all the troubles Inès had brought upon him, Lord Silver, Tianzun, Zhen Shanhe and other forces would have killed him.
Silver Lord will think he is asking for power, Tianzun will think he is trying to embezzle power, other Xuanling will think he is the second Tianzun, Zhen Shanhe will think his desire to rebel against the Sky Group is uncontrollable, the grassroots and civilian revolutionary class will think he is the primary class enemy who should be defeated, and the nobles will definitely turn against him after learning that he does not want to play the game of restoring the Solomon Empire.
As for the Council of Seven Sins, just think about their reputation. There is no need to say much about that group of lunatics who sacrifice anyone they see.
What on earth was Ines thinking about in her pretty little empty head? Just a few words of brainwashing made him offend all the forces!
Wu Ci even began to wonder how good-tempered Tianzun was that he could tolerate so many stupid beauties under his tutelage.
