Chapter 24 I Want to Respond to This Expectation
The document was pulled out intact, and this simple action made a slight "click" sound as if it involved some mechanism.
The next moment, an endless flood of memories rushed into the mind, and complex data overwhelmed everything, causing waves of pain.
The brain automatically shuts down, isolating the memories, and in the end, only the complex emotions that are suppressed to the point of suffocation are left.
Sad...sad for no reason, just like having a nightmare that you can't remember, leaving you with endless sadness and disappointment after waking up.
I vaguely felt that I should hurry up and do something, even if it was just carving a simple symbol. But what symbol should be engraved? Why burn it?
......I do not understand.
"Mr. Jingyuan? Jingyuan?!" A vague voice seemed to come from far away, too hazy to be heard clearly, "Wake up, Jingyuan!"
Jing Yuan...who is this?
His slow thoughts seemed to have been stuck in the void for hours, and he finally caught a clear voice: "General, there are cloud riders showing symptoms of demonic Yin body in many places in Luofu!"
My consciousness returned instantly, and I saw Qingdun's worried expression. But what was more important at this moment was Yunqi who rushed in from below to report the situation.
Qing Dun hid his worries and immediately ordered after listening to the report: "Try to control their range of activities and do not let them go beyond the public area. I will notify all citizens not to go out, and those who are outside should choose to stay nearby and safely."
"Yes!" Yunqi received the order and left in a hurry as he came.
Although the demonic body is the fate of the immortals, they are often taken away by the people of the Ten Kings Division before they fall into the demonic body. How could the symptoms of the demonic body suddenly break out so widely in the Yunqi Army?
This glaring anomaly was laid out before everyone without any disguise, provocatively declaring: “Yes, this is man-made.”
Is this what Jingyuan is busy with? So can the attack in the morning be considered a planned assassination against Jingyuan?
I thought about it, and then I suddenly remembered that I didn't need to figure it out by myself at this time. "Did he leave any contingency plans?"
Jing Yuan, who was able to leave countermeasures for himself, should have thought of a solution in advance, right?
However, Qing Zhu shook his head, and the worry that he had just suppressed surfaced again. "General Jing Yuan only left a message, saying that he would tell you if you asked."
The ominous premonition lingered in my mind, so much so that I didn't even ask about the content of the message at the first time: "...What if I don't ask?"
"Then just pretend that he never left this message." After saying that, Qing Du handed me her jade bracelet without reservation.
The records on the Jade Omen have not been cleared. If I want, I can even go all the way back to find Qing Du's description of me in the Shen Ce Mansion at that time. But the last message is so eye-catching that one cannot look away.
That was the message received half a system hour ago:
If there is any accident, please follow Jing Yuan's instructions on all matters and do not return.
If the previous words could be considered as precautionary measures, then the last two words almost clearly indicated his dangerous situation.
......I roughly understood Jing Yuan's meaning. If I asked about this matter, it would mean that I was willing to get in touch with these things again and become Luofu's last line of defense.
If I avoid the topic, Jing Yuan will not be willing to put Luofu's safety in front of me, leaving me with a dilemma.
As he once said: "Jingyuan, I am not forcing you.
Jing Yuan took my feelings into consideration, but did not exclude me as an outsider. If I hadn't asked this question, I would never have known that Jing Yuan had done these things...
"Mr. Jing Yuan." Qing Zhu called me back from my thoughts. She pointedly looked at the files on the table and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"No, these are just my personal thoughts..." I wanted to give a general reply, but suddenly realized that something was wrong: I should have asked for the information before Yunqi reported.
My heart was beating fast in my chest. I knew Qingdun's idea was reasonable and I didn't need to care about it, but I couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I knew about this and let it happen?"
Qing Tu, realizing that there might be misunderstanding, immediately explained, "No, it's just that you retrieved the information as soon as you arrived, and I thought you had guessed what General Jing Yuan was thinking."
After all, Jing Yuan only left such a short sentence and completely cut off the possibility of further questioning, so Qing Dun immediately thought that this was a tacit understanding between them.
If the explanation is not clear enough, I am afraid that Jingyuan's train of thought will turn to "You believe that I am from the future, and you knew that this would happen, but you did nothing."
Jing Yuan is used to blaming himself. If this is the case, I am afraid he will not give any explanation, or even say: "...This is all my fault."
So Qing Dian simply added: "Both General Jing Yuan and I are grateful for your efforts, otherwise General Jing Yuan would not have left such a message at the end."
"......I understand." Just from this incident, one can fully appreciate Jing Yuan's gentleness.
No one can remain indifferent to such a Jing Yuan, at least I can't. That's why I can't help but want to explore their views and feel guilty about my own powerlessness.
And this time...even though I know I am not capable of doing it, I still want to respond to this expectation.
"You will stay in the Shen Ce Mansion all the time, right?" In my impression, Qing Du should stay in the Shen Ce Mansion to implement all the instructions for Jing Yuan, but at this critical moment, I must confirm it.
Qing Du paused for a moment, then slowed down his voice, nodded as if to comfort him, and said, "I will always be here."
"Okay." I recalled the information I had read before, found out the deployment of the Yunqi Army, and simulated the current war zones according to the points reported by the Yunqi just now.
Xingcha Pier and Xuanye Avenue in the center of Xingcha Sea have a large flow of people and must be given priority, followed by the central square of Changletian...
I don’t know whether General Feixiao will stay in Dandingsi, but the Starry Sky Train will definitely not sit idly by. As for the Cloud Cavalry...the Cloud Cavalry has its own action plan. If I interfere with it casually, we might be really finished. Therefore, the best way is for Qingdun to take overall control, and I will go as the "surprise force" to provide support.
I walked out according to my inner judgment, and finally remembered to turn around and remind Qing Zhu: "Contact Yu Zhao if there is anything."
——Although the most likely reason is that I have some trouble and need to contact Qingdun.
It's okay. I comforted myself in my heart that I was immortal anyway, so as long as I didn't implicate others and held on until Jing Yuan regained control of the situation, everything would be fine.
I took a deep breath and prepared to push the door and leave Shen Ce Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Qing Dian suddenly said at this time: "General."
Maybe because I heard the words "General Jingyuan" from Qingdun too many times, I subconsciously thought that he was calling Jingyuan. It took me a beat to realize that Jingyuan was not there and he was calling me.
I turned around and watched Qing Du walking towards me, finally stopping in front of the gate of Shen Ce Mansion.
She raised her hand and touched the pattern on the door, her eyes full of reluctance and attachment. She didn't show any sentimentality, and almost the next second she restrained her emotions and asked softly, "If I walk out of this door, I will die, right?"
