Chapter 164: Kuyavi Swamp (3) The next second, she disappeared again...
While the mummy was stunned, Xuan Chi saw someone approaching out of the corner of his eye. Before he could react, the mummy, which was restrained by the halberd, threw a spell at his ankle. Xuan Chi couldn't help but fall. Seeing the mummy flying into the sky, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, but was still half a step too late.
Xuan Chi leaped in pursuit, but the mummy soared into the air and cast a spell outside the Immortal Registration Courtyard.
Xuan Chi only felt a flash of light and shadow before his eyes, and a new barrier rose up. Several guards who originally wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace to report the news were stopped and looked back at the mummy in surprise.
"Stay where you are." The mummy said, lowered his eyes to look at Xuan Chi who was chasing him, and without waiting for his reaction, kicked him in the heart.
Under normal circumstances, Xuan Chi would have no problem taking or receiving this blow, but at this moment he was exhausted and his reaction became slow, and he was immediately kicked and sent flying.
The mummy used his breath to chase after him, and when he was unstable, he grabbed his wrist, and both of them crashed into the window of a small building.
This small building was her private residence, a square building in traditional Chinese style. It had five floors, with rooms arranged around a circular corridor. Beyond the corridor was a sky-high ceiling.
The mummy held Hyun Chi and leaped to the open space, suddenly sprinting downward. Just as it was about to hit the ground floor, a faint blue light flashed around Hyun Chi. The next second, Hyun Chi passed through the ground floor and fell into the basement.
He fell facedown to the ground, his vision blurring out as the excruciating pain surged through his body. The mummy rose first, but didn't cast any more weapon spells. Instead, he stood by and looked at him calmly, "Who am I?"
Xuan Chi heard these three words in a trance, but the pain made him unable to react.
The mummy got a little impatient and asked again: "Who am I?"
Xuan Chi took a deep breath and tried to focus his vision. The mummy frowned, but it also saw that he was exhausted and did not urge him any further.
Taking advantage of the moment of silence, Hyun Chi teased while quickly looking around.
He originally wanted to observe how to escape, but his sight stopped when it touched the right wall.
The wall was covered with paintings, some painted, but most consisting of just chaotic black lines. These black lines sometimes formed people, sometimes scenes, and the paintings were chaotic and violent, but they felt very familiar to Xuan Chi.
——It was not what the paintings presented that made him feel familiar. The basement was dimly lit and he was out of breath. A brief glance around was not enough for him to distinguish anything from the paintings.
He simply felt that this feeling was familiar. Before he regained his old memories, those fragmented images entangled him, and he was immersed in confusion. If he had been asked to paint those elusive images at that time, it would have been like this.
He stared at the mummy in amazement, feeling surprised and even more puzzled.
The moment he recognized her yesterday, he almost concluded that she was a traitor, so he didn't dare tell Si Ling who she was.
He didn't know how to make Si Ling face betrayal again, and he didn't know how to tell Si Ling in person that he had finally found a close relative, but she was also a traitor.
Later, a little hope emerged in his heart. He thought, what if she was not a traitor, but had other reasons, such as Infernal Affairs?
This thought made him indulge himself in hiding this from Si Ling for the time being. He thought he could come here first to find out the whole story.
But at the same time, he also felt that this was just deceiving himself.
——Before Si Ling cast the karma curse, only Luo Ling was present. It is unknown whether Luo Ling met other people later.
If she hadn't, then no one would have known that Xin Bi was still alive during these 30,000 years. In the eyes of the entire heaven, Xin Bi would have been the former Emperor of Heaven whose soul had been scattered to pieces.
Then where does the Infernal Affairs come from?
But now it seems that there is no Infernal Affairs, but he is not completely deceiving himself, because there are indeed other reasons.
He looked at her with a complicated expression and tentatively called out a name: "Hyun-ryeon?"
The mummy said coldly: "What is this, a name? Or a race?"
“…” Xuan Chi was silent.
The serious and tense scene became a little funny due to the completeness of Hyun-yeon's amnesia.
He took a deep breath. "Name. Your name is Xuanlan, Xuan as in Xuanlu, and Xuan as in rippling waves. I'm your younger brother, Xuanchi, and Chi as in command. We are from the Suhuang clan, distant relatives of the phoenix."
Hyun-yeon's tone remained unchanged: "How do you prove it?"
Xuan Chi pointed to the right side of his neck and said, "You have a mark here, which belongs only to King Su Huang and the Crown Prince."
Perhaps because they were close relatives, he relaxed. He couldn't help but tease, "Such a unique mark, you wouldn't have missed it, would you?"
Hyun-ryeon said nothing, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the mark.
It was indeed a special mark, although it would only appear under special circumstances. But of course she still noticed it and tried to figure out what it was, but to no avail.
She relaxed a little and asked him again, "If what you said is true, what about the other Suhuangs?"
"I want to know too." Xuan Chi stared at her with burning eyes, "Why do you serve the current Emperor of Heaven?"
Hyun-yeon said without hesitation: "He saved my life."
Xuan Chi was dumbfounded: "What?!"
"He saved my life," Hyun-ryeon repeated calmly. "I was trapped and comatose at the foot of Mount Buzhou for many years. He happened to be patrolling the mountain and found me. He rescued me and put me in charge of the Immortal Registration Institute."
So she has always been called "Buzhouxian".
Xuan Chi couldn't believe it: "Emperor Jun?"
Hyun-yeon: “What?”
"The Heavenly Emperor," Xuan Chi asked, "is the Heavenly Emperor you're talking about Di Jun?"
Hyun-ryeon looked puzzled: "The Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor of Heaven."
Xuan Chi was speechless. He didn't think Xuan Lan was deliberately hiding anything, because before finding the green jade slip, Xie Bian seemed to have had this impression of the Emperor of Heaven.
But at that time, Xuan Chi and Si Ling thought that it was only Xie Bian who was like this, or that it was only the people in Hell who were like this. After all, Hell and Heaven are two different realms, so it is normal that they don't know each other well.
But now it seems that even the civil servants in Heaven are in the same situation.
...Could it be possible that the current Emperor of Heaven is no longer Emperor Jun? If Xin Bi was overthrown, why not Emperor Jun?
This thought flashed through Xuan Chi's mind.
.
Kuyavian Republic.
When Si Ling entered the room where the werewolves were, the second floor was in chaos.
In fact, the entire bunker was in chaos, and there were quite a few ghosts from all three parties.
The students of the Ghost Academy must kill the soldier ghosts of Hans Country, while trying to avoid accidentally hurting the village ghosts of Kuyavi;
The soldier ghosts of Hans knew this very well, so they deliberately mixed with the village ghosts to protect themselves, or simply took them hostage.
The villagers had no idea that the students were there to rescue them. They wanted to help, but the gap in strength was too great, and they were unable to do so.
The three parties were thus stuck in a stalemate, and after a long time there was no breakthrough.
When Si Ling arrived, the three werewolf brothers were threatening to attack from one end of the room. At the other end, there were two soldier ghosts, each holding a villager hostage. Fenric was shouting angrily, "Stop struggling! Release the hostages and follow us. Satan might spare your lives! There will be no good outcome if you resist stubbornly!!!"
This argument is too unconvincing.
As invaders, the soldiers were guilty of original sin from the moment they set foot on this land. Their decades of tyranny and abuse of power after their death were enough to add to their crimes. Even a fool would not believe that they can escape disaster by simply surrendering.
For the soldiers, "fighting stubbornly" is more cost-effective.
Si Ling quietly appeared behind the three brothers: "You are all centuries old, how come you fight like mortals?"
The faint female voice carried a sinister aura, and the three furious brothers turned back in horror, and it took them several seconds to relax.
"...Can you please stop scaring me?" Orrick whispered.
Fenric was helpless: "There's nothing we can do. If there weren't hostages, we would have dealt with it long ago, but with hostages, what can we do?"
Before he finished speaking, the female ghost disappeared.
The werewolves were stunned for a moment, then two screams from a few meters away brought them back to their senses. Looking up, they saw the two soldier ghosts had been reduced to ashes, and the villager ghost was pale, as if he hadn't yet understood what had just happened.
...Satan also asked us to try to catch them alive!
This was another sentence that Fenric hadn't had time to say just now.
At the same time, Si Ling had already escaped into the next room, and A Zhu was alone here, his situation was similar to that of the three werewolf brothers just now.
However, half of this room is occupied by bookshelves, so the soldier ghosts can hide better.
Si Ling cast a spell and scanned the bookshelf: "Five targets, four hostages?"
Ah Zhui turned around in surprise: "Hey, you're here?!" After being surprised, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Ling disappeared.
There were also several screams in succession. When Ah Zhu came to his senses again, he saw the villagers walking out trembling with fear.
Ah Zhui was speechless. While he was impressed, he also felt that something was not right.
She felt that Si Ling seemed...to be in a bad mood?
Immediately afterwards, Si Ling came to the meeting room where the vampires were.
Aimeric tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and was negotiating with the other side's officer when Si Ling suddenly appeared behind the officer. Aimeric raised his eyes in surprise.
The officer realized what was happening behind him and was about to turn around when he saw a flash of white light and turned into ashes in an instant.
Several of his men slammed the table and stood up, shouting at Aymeric, but they disappeared before they could even finish the first word.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle in the bunker was completely over.
251 villagers were killed or injured, and 184 soldiers were killed or injured.
When Si Ling floated to the open space in front of the bunker, the villagers looked at her as if she were a god. The students who rushed out to join her were also very glad that she came to help, but...
"Satan requested that as many people as possible be saved. Our result..." Aymeric frowned, but his words were very tactful. "It's a bit tricky."
Bai Ma said, "Let's talk to Principal Lucifer first. Only he can explain to Satan."
Si Ling had a blank expression on his face: "Satan, right?"
The next second, she disappeared again.
