Wu Ci obtained the warm bones still stained with blood.
The driver, with his limbs in disfigured shape, was lying on the ground, his chest and spine sunken, with a large pool of blood spread out beneath him.
He murmured to himself, "I don't remember, I really don't remember... I really don't remember who you are..."
Wu Ci looked down at the bones he had just taken out of the driver's body.
The driver did not lie. There was a crack in the bone, and the direction of the crack represented the result that proved that what the driver said was true.
He half-knelt down, raised his hand to grab the driver's hair and asked the driver to look up and look at him. His brows were tightly knitted, and his pale blue eyes stared at him closely and questioned, "How could you not remember? You clearly recognized me when you saw me just now, so how could you not remember me now? If you don't remember, then what are all my sufferings?"
The Hero's special skill [Preaching] is triggered.
"I...I really don't recognize you. Maybe, when I first saw your face, I felt...somewhat familiar, but after a moment of daze, I realized that I didn't recognize you..." The driver answered Wu Ci's questions intermittently, his eyes were dazed again, and suddenly became normal.
As if affected by some other force, [preaching] lost its effect for some reason, and the driver's eyes were gradually covered with confusion, as if the fear that the witch's words had just brought him was forgotten.
He and the fatal wounds on his body seemed to be nothing more than decorations. He suddenly screamed with all his might, "Old, why am I... here? Fuck... it hurts so much! Someone's been killed, someone's been killed!"
Wu Ci snapped his finger in front of him, "Do you still remember me?"
"You're crazy! Don't go crazy here!"
——Crack
Wu Ci broke the driver's neck expressionlessly.
He casually threw the body into the trash can to avoid blocking people's way, but his expression was quite ugly.
There is something affecting it... So, there is no way to find out the reason, and if the driver continues shouting, it might attract other people.
In other words, except for some remnants of the moment when the driver saw his face in its entirety, his memory of him was completely erased. He was afraid of him only because he was afraid of him. He didn't remember his face at all. In other words, the driver didn't remember the live broadcast from 20 years ago.
This sounds impossible... but in fact, Wu Ci had previously searched the Internet for himself and his live broadcasts 20 years ago, but found that everything from 20 years ago had been cleared.
He originally thought that it was just information control, not wanting his deeds as a "terrorist" to be exposed to increase panic and show the incompetence of the government, but now, even those who experienced the situation 20 years ago don't remember it...
That's right, even though he has been trying to cover his face since entering this new era, his face is so recognizable that many people who have memories of him 20 years ago can always recognize it.
But no one recognized him.
All his experiences have been erased, and not many people remember his ugly appearance.
Not only did they block the news, but they also wiped out the memories of a large number of people who knew about it. This must be due to the use of the abilities of the Heroic Spirits or some psychic technology...
Who did it?
Apart from the royal family, the only ones with this ability are the wandering sects in the wilderness or the Sky Group.
But why would they do this? To hide the past of a dead man?
Wu Ci pressed his temples lightly. Because he was initialized, he could not remember any details about his escape in his previous life. Instead, the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
He simply stopped thinking about it and shifted his attention to the wooden Buddha and human bones in his hands.
The heroic spirit "Chu Ci" possessed him as a spirit, and he synchronized his spiritual power to form a spell to spy on the secrets of heaven.
"Is this wooden Buddha from the Twilight Bar?"
The cyan spiritual energy created a vein along the tiny holes in the human bones.
[yes]
"Have I ever had any encounter with the being represented by this wooden Buddha?"
The pulse continues to spread.
[yes]
yes?
Is it bone?
The only gods that have had interactions with Wuci, apart from those pardoned gods of the Qian Dynasty, are the Twelfth Moon Mysterious Evil Buddha's Bones and... Ying Yuan Ji Xing Tian Zun enshrined in Tiande Temple.
Tianzun is a Taoist figure and has nothing to do with Buddha statues. Moreover, this Buddha seems to possess only the authority of heaven in terms of reproduction and flesh and blood vitality.
Tianjizi said that the honorable name of God represents identity and authority, which is absolutely impossible to replace. If it changes, it can only be because of deviation in faith or deviation and change in power.
However, Xuan Ling is definitely different from Ying Yuan Ji Xing Tian Zun, who is a pardoned god or a main god cultivated by humans but has no control over the way of heaven.
The honorific names of the Xuanling cannot be changed, nor can they be hidden or disappeared, because they do not need faith and can rely on the way of heaven to exist...
Then why does this wooden Buddha have no name?
Connecting the clues, Wu Ci's mind clearly drew a somewhat absurd conjecture, but this conjecture, like the driver's memory just now, involved unknown rules, which flashed through his mind like a flash, and could not be recalled or saved.
He had a vague feeling that if he didn't seize the moment of inspiration and quickly confirm his guess now, he would never be able to recall and infer this guess in the future.
Wu Ci quickly asked, "Did the being represented by the wooden Buddha ever have a name, and was it lost for some reason?"
The bones exploded violently, and the spiritual power injected into them was beaten back. Wu Ci felt a sweetness in his throat, and blood rushed out of his throat. His body swayed and he half-knelt on the ground.
The eyes of the man who stole the authority to spy on the secrets suddenly felt sour and unbearable, his vision was blurred, and everything in front of him was blood red. He touched his cheeks, and his hands were stained with slippery tears and blood. His whole face was smeared like a perverted murderer.
It involved a high-ranking being, and it happened that he was discovered to be stealing secrets, so the questions I wanted to ask were rejected.
If it were the Qian Dynasty, he would have died from the backlash and the theft of the Heavenly Authority controlled by Xuanling, which caused his soul to be wiped out and exploded. But now it is the Age of Jueling, and miracles are not seen, so he only suffered minor injuries.
Besides, it's worth it.
The human bones burst and triggered the punishment, which just represents the result of Tianji's answer:
[yes]
So two conclusions are drawn:
1. Ying Yuan Ji Xing Tian Zun took advantage of Tian Ji Zi's sacrifice of 90 million Tian Jie troops to interfere in the human world from outer space, killing Sui Gu believers and most humans, and replacing the Qian Dynasty beliefs associated with Sui Gu. He disguised himself as Sui Gu and subtly seized its Heavenly Way, so he has no honorific name.
2. This wooden Buddha is Sugu! His heavenly way has been completely taken away by Yingyuan Jixing Tianzun! Only the residual power is left, and he has lost even his honorable name. He can only survive by spreading the little faith.
Wu Ci recalled the last episode of Qian Dynasty, when the Heavenly Lord tore open the sky curtain and lowered his sight from the outside world...
Although before, Naohai Tianzun was a stupid and ugly guy who could be easily sold to other Xuanlings, it was just a thought!
Who knew Tianzun was so powerful!
He punched the Beihai kindergarten and kicked the Nanshan nursing home. He had no respect for the elderly or the young. He saw most of the world with just one glance and even robbed his seniors of their heavenly way!
If he stays, he will look like Xiao Chou!
Although it is only possible that Sui Gu and Tian Zun are involved, this has already made the waters of the Twilight Bar too deep to be crossed! The best thing to do is to pretend that you know nothing and leave as soon as possible!
Even if I can't pay back the loan, I'll have to work as a company dog for Zhenshanhe! Wearing electronic handcuffs and being monitored at all times is better than falling into this turbid water and losing my life!
Wu Ci acted decisively and didn't even bother asking for overtime pay. He planned to get up from the ground and slip away gracefully while no one was around.
"Brother Aci! Are you here to pick me up?" A furry head suddenly and surprisingly popped out from the depths of the alley.
His whole handsome round face was covered in blood, and there was meat scraps at the corners of his mouth. Zunrong looked similar to the current Wu Ci.
It was Black Cat. He was still wearing the same low-waist jeans as yesterday, and the sweater that Wu Ci had put on him at midnight.
Wu Ci, who was half-kneeling on the ground, had not had time to stand up. Thinking of his current situation, he might be shaky and unsteady if he stood up directly, so he supported himself on the ground with one hand in the pool of blood, maintaining a handsome posture of kneeling on one knee, and raised his head indifferently to deny, "I was just passing by on my way to work."
Black Cat was easily fooled by his hopeless decency. "You're working overtime right after you started? Then why are you squatting on the ground, brother Aci? And your face is covered in blood?"
"I just dealt with a guy who didn't know how to live or die. He just borrowed some things." Wu Ci said lightly.
The black cat tilted his head, "It's so cold outside, come in and play with me! Our Second Sect is holding an exchange meeting with the First Sect. When you come in, you can tell your superiors that you have come in undercover."
What exchange meeting? Forgive Wu Ci for associating Sui Gu's face full of reproductive organs and wriggling flesh and blood with the standard of the Heavenly Lord's dead face, he could only think of the Sui Sheng Fahui.
Putting aside the question of whether it is dangerous or not as it involves the authority of the Xuanling, Wu Ci firmly refuses such an indecent activity!
He politely declined, as if he was thinking about the black cat. "You are the person in charge, right? If I go in and make a big fuss, you will be held accountable."
"The big shots have already made their decision! They are just small characters. It doesn't matter if you kill them all for credit, Brother Aci. They are just people. There are plenty of them."
Black Cat said this and whispered in Wuci's ear, "The person in charge of the First Sect has a contract from the Solomon period, which he got from our Second Sect. He wants us to exchange it for spiritual stones, but he is a spiritualist, and it is difficult for me to do it alone... Brother Aci, you have to help me."
It turned out to be an order from above... No wonder the black cat was so fearless.
Wu Ci coldly pushed Black Cat away and made an excuse, "I have been selected to work for Zhen Shanhe. The review of relatives and subordinates is strict, so I cannot help you with this."
"Don't be like that, Brother Aci. Are you afraid of being censored when you are so eloquent? Help me... Let's do it together, so that the thing and the spirit stone can be 'accidentally lost'."
Black Cat was afraid that Wuci would leave, so he quickly added, "Most of the evidence on the market are from the Qian Dynasty. Those from the Solomon period are restricted by the royal family. Even if there are any, some of them don't look very good. After all, every one of them must be reported to the royal family for a number... It's hard to get one without a record. Today is a good opportunity. It would be a shame if I don't let you get it...
I secretly looked through the exchanged boxes and found 1,000 pieces of spirit stones without official marks that can be circulated on the black market. Take them and find a place to hide them. If anything happens, we can use them when we escape together."
Wu Ci, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.
The Solomon period... was the period before the Qian Dynasty, but it was not a dynasty in the Eastern Continent of Dark Star, but in the Western Continent separated by the ocean.
This period originated from the Solomon Empire that ruled the western continent.
From the perspective of current history, because the "Chu Ci" he controlled was possessed by a demon and could not be defeated, the East Land where the Qian Dynasty was located was destroyed in one fell swoop by the Heavenly Lord sacrificed by Tianjizi, leaving only a few survivors in the West Land.
Therefore, the Eternal Night Royal Family that now controls the entire Dark Star is also descended from the Solomon Empire in the Western Continent, and the current Emperor of the North Pole is a pure-blooded Western Continental person.
As for Queen Mother Ines, she is a "creature" who has survived from the time of Solomon to the present by some unknown means. With the "power" or "item" that has kept her alive, she has been ruling the country until now, making every emperor her puppet.
For some reason, Queen Mother Ines is very obsessed with the contract evidence from the Solomon period. Every hero from the Solomon period must be registered in the royal family, which makes it difficult to obtain.
As for the 1,000 spirit stones... a regular spirit stone is worth 100,000 to 200,000 credit points, while an unmarked spirit stone that can be circulated on the black market can cost more than 250,000 credit points.
1,000 Spiritual Stones that can be circulated on the market, exchanged for credit points, or even used to pay off a loan, plus a certificate from the Solomon period... is equivalent to raising another heroic spirit.
This price is too much.
Greed had already affected Wu Ci's rational decision, encouraging him to stay and go to the muddy water with Black Cat.
He used his remaining rationality to objectively assess the risks and ultimately changed his decision to leave.
Money is a powerful thing, and problems often arise simply because the price is not high enough.
Isn't it the same with the Sky Group that controls the world now?
As the book says:
If there is a 20% profit, capital will be eager to move. If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks. If there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to ignore the risk of being hanged. If there is a 300% profit, capital will trample on everything in the world. (Note 1)
There is also a widely circulated saying: As long as the profit is sufficient, the capitalists will even sell the rope used to hang themselves. (Note 2)
Like him, a gambler.
It’s just that the chips in the hands of capital are the blood and tears of others. Winning or losing will not hurt your bones, but the chips in his hands will be stained with his own blood.
He might also be suitable to be a capitalist, Wu Ci thought.
He has been a speculator since his last life. Since his starting point was not as good as others, he could only rely on his own efforts.
What his past life experiences taught him is that it is more important to know how to seize opportunities than to seek stability.
He will never miss any opportunity to climb up, even if it costs a certain price, and he will use all means.
If he gave up this opportunity, he could only rely on the heroic spirit in his hand and slowly polish it, relying on time to find a way to obtain the certificate for the next Solomon period.
If it takes too long, there will be too many uncertainties, and Wu Ci's patience has run out. He can't wait that long.
What does it matter if he is a necromancer in this world? Isn't there someone controlling him from above? As long as there is someone above him, he is still a low-level person who can be controlled.
He doesn't want to continue being a controlled lower-class person for so long. He can't stand being controlled by others and having his life and freedom out of his own control for even a second.
He wants to climb to the highest point in the shortest time.
If you can get the evidence from Solomon's time and the spiritual stones, it will be a lucrative deal.
He can definitely achieve his set goal faster. By then... Zhen Shanhe cannot control him, the Tianji Consortium and the royal family cannot hinder him, and even Tianzun cannot.
Worth it.
Wu Ci placed his hand on the hand that Black Cat extended to him invitingly, and the two hands stained with the blood of the deceased were clasped together.
Such benefits are enough to make him take risks and sell the "rope" to strangle himself like a real gambler or capitalist.
Note 1: From Marx's Capital, but not the original text.
The original text is:
If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere. If there is a 20% profit, it becomes active. If there is a 50% profit, it will take risks. If there is a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws. If there is a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even the risk of being beheaded.
Note 2: Marx’s original words were: “For the sake of profit, capital can sell the rope that hangs itself.”
Stalin's seems to be: "When we hang the capitalists, they will think of selling us the rope first."
