When all ten "gates" were opened that time, the kings and nobles became the main force in resisting the disaster, so ordinary people didn't feel it much.
"Only ten 'gates' have caused such a huge disaster, and this time, even though the black mist is still spreading, thirteen 'gates' have already opened. Although their levels are uneven, such a sign..."
Yu Shousi's face was extremely grave.
Shen Qian also recalled the day the black mist first appeared, when he saw a total of 108 stars in the starry sky forming a aligning pattern.
If he can see it, then those top-ranking kings and nobles certainly can too.
However, Chen Qian guessed that even kings and nobles might not know what that signified.
"With so many 'doors' already opened, why is there absolutely no news from the outside world?"
Zhu Yinhong, who was standing to the side, came to her senses and asked in confusion.
“How could there not be?” Yu Shousi smiled bitterly. “It’s just that most of the information has been blocked. In fact, several otherworldly creatures from the ‘gates’ have entered China, but they were all killed by the powerful guards stationed there. Some ‘gates’ have been opened, but there has been no movement yet, so the ripples they have caused are not significant.”
While the two were talking, Shen Qian just stared at the holographic map.
He suddenly noticed something and abruptly turned his head, "Director Yu, Jiang Zhongjun..."
"You saw it."
Yu Shouyi nodded. "That's right, the 'door' to Jiangzhong Military has also been opened."
Shen Qian's pupils contracted, because among the thirteen red dots on the map, one was extremely close to them.
The lowest "gate" from Jiangzhong Army's garrison is the one that Jiangzhong Army's Wu Nadao opened once ten years ago.
The level of this "door" is... Grade A.
"That's another reason why I'm letting you stay."
Yu Shousi said in a deep voice, "Of the thirteen 'doors' that have been opened, only one is an A-level 'door,' which is the one belonging to Jiang Zhongjunwu. In fact..."
As Yu Shousi spoke, he waved his hand, and the map on the projection was enlarged, turning into a map of Jiangzhong Province.
"Do you still remember the sinkhole incident in Liucheng that day?"
As Yu Shousi spoke, he picked up the stylus next to him and began to draw on the map.
"If you connect the coordinates of the six cities of Jiangzhou, Lizhou, Shangzhou, Xincheng, Sucheng, and Lincheng, you will find something very strange."
Without Yu Shousi needing to explain further, Shen Qian and Zhu Yinhong had already seen it.
The landmarks of the six cities form a hexagonal pattern. If you connect them with straight lines, the point where they intersect is the old campus of Jiangzhong Military Academy.
“That day, countless scavengers attacked the city, but they only left behind a large number of corpses. This matter was very strange, and even the investigators from the Martial Arts Department couldn’t figure it out at first.”
Yu Shouyi sighed, "It wasn't until the old campus of Jiangzhong Military Academy came to light that the martial arts experts suddenly realized what was happening."
"Do you remember why the 'door' of Jiangzhong Military Affairs was opened more than ten years ago?"
"Hundreds of students sacrificed their blood..."
He murmured something before sinking in, then suddenly realized something.
Clearly, for Jiangzhong Military Affairs' "door" to be opened, some kind of blood sacrifice-like ritual must be performed.
Afterwards, the "door" was sealed by the Earl of Pingyang, and for the past ten years, the Earl of Pingyang has guarded this "door" without ever slacking off.
It was precisely after ten years of peace that the Jiangzhong Military Base was able to reopen.
"This 'gate,' equivalent to the military might of Jiangzhong, was forcibly opened with the blood of hundreds of thousands of people. Only in this way can the seal of kings and nobles be broken?"
He analyzed beforehand, but for some reason, he still felt that something was not quite right.
The land in Liucheng has collapsed!
Such a grand display, just to open that "door" to the military in Jiangzhong?
Why were those scavengers so eager to open it?
Was it because of the woman who once bewitched Jiang Chengye and led him into the 'door'?
"Based on the current situation, this speculation is closest to the truth."
Yu Shouyi nodded and said, "The seal on the 'gate' of Jiangzhong Military Martial Arts has indeed been broken. After you received the military transfer order and left the campus, the martial arts department's experts sealed off that place."
"Did anyone come out from inside the 'door'?" Shen Qian asked, frowning.
"There shouldn't be any yet, but something else has happened."
"What is it?" Shen Qian was taken aback.
"The briefing sent by the military was vague, and I wasn't too clear on the details, but a transfer order was issued."
Yu Shousi shook his head, then said seriously, "According to the military order, your Ninth Company and First Company will set off tonight to take over the defense there. After you arrive, a martial arts expert will meet with you."
"tonight?"
Shen Qian was startled when he realized Yu Shousi's true purpose in keeping the two men with him.
"It might be because you are a student of Jiangzhong Military Academy, or it might be for some other reason, but in any case, they specifically called your name."
Yu Shouyi was also somewhat confused. "It was my idea to send Yin Hong with you. I have already obtained the military's approval. You will be in charge of this trip, but she has more experience in handling these matters and should be able to help you a lot."
"yes!"
Since it was a formal military transfer order, neither Shen Qian nor Zhu Yinhong raised any objections.
"Oh, right, there's one more person you might need to meet."
Yu Shousi concluded by saying something.
"who?"
"Come with me, Yin Hong, wait a moment."
Yu Shousi turned and walked towards the back of the council hall, and a bewildered Shen Qian quickly followed.
The two passed through the council hall and went directly to the entrance of a warehouse at the back, which was usually used to store miscellaneous items.
