Since he boarded the plane, Lin Qiye fell asleep again. Except for waking up for a while when he got off the plane and sat in the car, when he regained consciousness, he had already arrived in front of the Shangjing courtyard.
Lin Qiye did not return to the Night Watch headquarters. First, because the Night Watch's focus was now on the three passes on the border, and there were not many people in the headquarters. Second, there was no bed in the office after all... When it came to rest, it was quieter and more comfortable here.
Lin Qiye pushed open the door of the courtyard, and dark yellow dead leaves scattered all over the courtyard. He glanced at the chessboard under the tree and walked straight into his room.
He set the alarm, undressed, and went to bed. Half a second later, Lin Qiye fell into a deep sleep...
The pendulum on the wall gradually swayed, and time passed by minute by minute.
All was quiet.
…
Boom!
Dull thunder was heard from the border of Daxia.
The snow-covered mountains and plains shook violently, and countless birds flew up into the sky in terror.
At this moment, on the outer wall of the silver-white pass, a night watchman seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked outside the border of Daxia!
Low dark clouds covered the sky, and the blood-red lightning was like the blood vessels of the sky, constantly interweaving and beating. At the end of the distant horizon, black waves were sweeping across the earth like a tsunami, rushing here rapidly!
As the black wave approached, the tremors of the earth became more and more distinct, as if a volcano about to erupt was shaking violently.
The next moment, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the sky!!
Intensive shouts came from the pass, and all artillery fire was simultaneously locked onto the distance. At this moment, a huge scarlet eye, like a blood-red abyss, slowly opened in the dark clouds...
Under the giant eye is the war pass where alarms are buzzing!
Dark clouds surged, and a huge sheep's hoof, like a falling mountain, stomped on the war pass and crushed the tall outer wall. Countless scarlet tentacles stretched out from the eyeball and madly rushed into the pass, and shrill screams rang out one after another.
Several dark red figures tried to fly into the sky, but were trampled down by the hoof of the second falling sheep and were trampled into mud along with the pass.
With two hooves touching the ground and huge eyes as deep as the abyss, it seemed as if a huge monster stood between heaven and earth under the wriggling dark clouds, madly tearing apart everything in the pass. The alarm echoing in the sky lasted for less than a minute before it fell into complete silence.
In front of this wriggling monster, the War Pass had almost no power to resist. As the earth shook more and more violently, the overwhelming black wave had already broken through the border of Daxia, passed through the pass fragments, and rushed straight into the ice and snow wasteland!
The tall [Black Goat] cubs trampled the hills and snow-capped forests, leaving no grass wherever they went. They were like passing locusts, crushing all terrain and material into nothingness.
Sharp and strange roars came one after another, and the vast black color occupied the sky and the earth. Looking around, there was no end in sight.
…
at the same time.
Shangjing City, the headquarters of the Daxia Night Watch.
A slight aftershock swept here from the far north. In the white ward, the hanging IV drips slightly caused a few ripples in the transparent bag.
On the hospital bed, an old man with silver hair had his eyelids trembling slightly, and then he suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he realized something!
Out of the corner of his eye he saw ripples in the transparent bag, and a look of shock appeared on the old face beneath the oxygen mask!
"How is it possible...how is this possible???"
The old man stretched out his hand with a trembling face and reluctantly took off the oxygen mask on his face. A hoarse and vague voice came out from his throat...
He propped up his old body with both hands, as if trying to get up from the bed, but could only fall to the ground powerlessly. He looked up at the pale ceiling, his breathing became uncontrollably heavy, and everything in front of him seemed to be swallowed by darkness...
Drop--drop--drop--drop--drop--drop--drop--
The device for detecting vital signs sounded an alarm, and the old man Wang Mian's hand reached out to the bed with difficulty. There, a long sword named "Yi Yuan" and a gray cloak were quietly leaning against the corner.
As the feeling of powerlessness took over his whole body, the last bit of life left in his body was consumed silently.
His eyes closed uncontrollably, and the fingertip that had not yet touched the hilt of the knife also fell limply to the ground... The shrill alarm echoed in the room, and the bed creaked under the slight vibration.
His heartbeat fell silent.
drop----
…
Lin Qiye suddenly woke up from his sleep!
He sat up from the bed like lightning, and the slight earthquake made the straight knife on the bedside table rattle.
There was an earthquake? ?
He frowned and immediately looked at the clock beside him.
Countdown: 4 hours and 20 minutes.
He went back to Shangjing to sleep, and less than three hours had passed... There was still a long time before the Kremlin launched a general attack. But why did an earthquake happen out of nowhere?
For some reason, an ominous premonition came to Lin Qiye's heart.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The phone rang, and Lin Qiye picked up the call immediately:
"Hello?"
"Commander! Something happened." The person who spoke was Min Junliang, the secretary in charge of the situation at Jialin Pass. His voice was extremely anxious. "Half a minute ago, an urgent distress message came from Xuehan Pass. The [Black Goat] rushed in directly from the north with millions of cubs!"
"Half a minute ago? Xuehan Pass?" Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, Commander. Both the time and the place are completely different from what Wang Mian said!" The voice on the other end of the line was very noisy. Min Junliang had to raise his voice and spoke again.
"At present, Xuehan Pass and Beichong Pass have completely lost contact. If nothing unexpected happens, it is most likely..."
Before Min Junliang finished speaking, Lin Qiye spoke up:
"What about Jialin Pass? How is it going over there?"
"I haven't seen it at Jialin Pass yet... Wait! It seems to be coming!"
A violent shock wave came from the other side of the phone, followed by the roar of a giant beast. After a few seconds, Min Junliang's voice sounded again:
"Jialin Pass was attacked by a K-type god. I just received news that Prajna Pass and Shanhaiguan were attacked as well!"
"Three S-level passes were attacked by a C-type god at the same time?"
Lin Qiye's brows were tightly furrowed.
Oops…
The current development of things has completely exceeded Daxia's expectations.
The future that the old king saw did not happen. Whether it was the time, the place, or the target of the invasion, it was completely different! And all their arrangements and preparations so far were built on this basis!
But without the intervention of external factors, the direction of the future war should not deviate so much... Their successful killing of Vishnu and others at Shenlong Pass has already proved this point!
There is no way that the old Wang Mian could deceive them, so there is only one possibility left... time has been affected by someone.
The old Wang Mian went back from the future to the past, naturally wanting to rely on the information he knew to change the future of this timeline, but this information failed to come true, which means that he was not the only one who witnessed that future and returned to this timeline!
Just as the old king told them the information, someone also told Chaos about the future of another timeline!
No... If we think a little deeper, maybe the old Wang Mian's return across the long river of time was originally part of the other party's plan? Did he let Wang Mian come back on purpose?
His purpose was to allow his side to obtain intelligence about the future, and then change the future himself... In this way, the entire Daxia wasted a lot of time and energy because of this scam!
And there is only one person in the K system who is capable of setting up this time scam...
