Princess Morningstar
"Buzz-buzz-buzz..."
Wu Ci was awakened by the vibration sound coming from the mechanical bracelet in the box that Zhen Shanhe gave him yesterday.
He opened his eyes and sat up like a spring, then when he found there was no danger, he closed his heavy eyelids again.
With a bang, he fell back to the bottom of the cabinet. Wu Ci began to squirm in the narrow space, crawling in the dark, struggling to climb out of the cabinet. Without even closing his eyes, he used his fingerprints to open the box and rattled the vibrating bracelet.
I don't know what button was pressed or what, but the bracelet intertwined a proportional 3D holographic image of a woman in formal attire in front of him.
The serious lady, with her information-dizzy figure, cast a blinding light into the dark windowless bedroom. "Chief Wuci, Her Royal Highness the Princess has summoned you. The hovercraft has stopped downstairs of your house. Please go to the palace immediately and don't keep Her Royal Highness the Princess waiting for too long."
Wu Ci, who was lying on the ground and fell into a brief coma again, suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes!
If someone is seen in an indecent manner, you must find out who the person is and then quickly silence him!
His sleepy, red, and irritable eyes glared at the woman nervously, but he found that the woman was not looking at him.
I looked down at the virtual screen displayed on the top of the bracelet and found that I had not turned on the transmission on my side.
Fortunately, it was not exposed...
Wu Ci checked the time and found that he had only slept for about four hours. Princess Morning Star was also very busy, summoning him early in the morning... She had no sympathy for a working person...
After turning off the 3D virtual projection screen and washing his face to regain consciousness, he dressed himself up and planned to wear the uniform he was given yesterday to look more formal. He could also warn Princess Morning Star to consider that he was a powerful figure and not to act rashly and irrationally against him.
The uniform is a black tights and military uniform made of unknown composite material, with matching leather boots. The military pants are obviously the same as the ones Zhao Xu wore yesterday.
The difference between the uniform of the highest-level executive officer and the ordinary military uniform is quite large. If you ignore the unknown high-grade composite materials and just look at the tailoring and design, it looks like a certain high-end customized luxury brand that Dark Star was famous for 20 years ago... Oh, I almost forgot, that brand is a subsidiary of Sky Group.
Wu Ci studied how to put it on, put the tights on the innermost part, then put on the matching dark-patterned shirt and fastened it with a shirt clip, put on the black military trousers and military uniform with silver trim in turn, put on leather boots, and then tied those useless and meaningless straps around his thighs and waist to fix the pistol/gun, magazine clip and multi-purpose knife that were issued with it.
The outfit also includes a windbreaker, a military cap, and a pair of gloves, which can just cover Wu Ci's nails that have marks from being worn by the thread. After all, the police may have suspected him based on the clues on his hands.
Wu Ci put on the bracelet and ring, carefully stuffed his ID and identity card into the inner pocket of his matching windbreaker, put on a military hat with a dark star logo, representing his class, and pulled the brim of the hat very low, leaving only his chin exposed.
Before leaving the house, he remembered that he had not yet fully recovered his spiritual power, so for safety's sake, he grabbed two handfuls of spiritual stones from the box given by the black cat and put them in his pocket.
The royal hovercraft that had been waiting at the door of his house for a long time had a metal logo and a streamlined body like a flying shuttle. The bleak searchlight pierced through all the darkness ahead like a sharp sword in the dark old city.
Wu Ci got into the car, too lazy to look at the gorgeous interior, nor caring about the breakfast that he didn't know if it was poisoned. He sleepily lay down on the seat, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Maybe a long time passed, or maybe only a moment later, he noticed that the hovercraft had stopped.
After wiping his face, Wu Ci got out of the car and looked up at the palace.
The palace is located in the inner city area and has just the right amount of sunlight. The light from the top of the white tower makes the place very bright.
But the palace was not as magnificent as Wu Ci had imagined. Instead, it was grayish white in color, just like this gray planet, with Gothic spires, mostly made of metal and gray stone. They were tall and covered an area so wide that no boundaries could be seen.
Because it is so lofty and solemn, the highest point of the palace seems to be shrouded in a dark gray mist of distant factory waste even in the sun, like a rainy castle in a novel.
No wonder they were named after Dark Star and the Eternal Night Empire and the Eternal Night Royal Family. They sound quite shady.
The irritable Wu Ci was eager to attack anything he disliked, and he looked at everything with malice. He followed the guards who led the way with an expressionless face to pay a visit to the princess. The coldness on his body frightened the guards so much that they dared not raise their heads. They walked him to the door, opened it, and then hurriedly retreated.
The formally dressed woman who appeared in the virtual projection in the morning was probably the princess's maid or lady-in-waiting. She stood at the door and looked Wu Ci up and down seriously for a moment, then said, "Her Highness the Princess is waiting for you inside."
When the metal gate of the palace opens, you can see the black and white checkered floor tiles, the colorful painted glazed windows on the dome and the huge crystal ceiling that reflects the dazzling light.
The most eye-catching thing is the large table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. A blond girl in a gorgeous light yellow corset dress is reviewing documents in the sunshine.
There were several piles of documents on her desk, each of which was taller than her, but she was marking the documents very quickly, as if she was using a cash register. She could read ten lines at a glance and make comments quickly. She was very efficient. Her other hand was even multitasking, typing on the virtual keyboard, working with both hands as if she was working on a document.
Noticing Wu Ci coming in, she raised her tired, bloodshot green eyes, and two dark eye bags hung on her fair, charming face.
This sense of déjà vu reminded Wu Ci of those 007 workers...
"Are you the Chief Witch?" The girl threw the feather pen in her hand on the desk. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot of losses and saved most of the documents to avoid losing them. Then, she smiled, lifted her skirt, and dignifiedly got out of the pile of documents.
Her face was sickly, and her gorgeous skirt, inlaid with many gems, was held up very large by her skirt, making her look very solemn. Her waist and entire rib cage were so tightly bound by the corset that the slightest movement made her breathless.
But in the false sunlight, the golden hair under her crown was so bright and dazzling like gold, like a dignified tulip.
Wu Ci bowed his head slightly and said, "I am Wu Ci. May I ask what you may do for me, Your Highness?"
Princess Morning Star scanned his entire body, her eyes resting on his ankles. She smiled and said, "Captain Wuci, this is rare. The town chief didn't even put electronic handcuffs on you."
"The director is kind and has his own considerations." Wu Ci said without missing a word.
"Don't trust him too much. He is a lunatic who killed his father, mother, and brothers. He was so desperate for power 20 years ago that he did whatever it took to kill. He also has a lot of weird habits. If you are not careful, you will easily touch his sensitive spot." Princess Morning Star shook her head and raised her hand to signal Wu Ci to sit down at the tea table next to her. "Please sit down."
Wu Ci knew that if he answered at this time, it would definitely mean that he agreed with Princess Chenxing's comments on Zhen Shanhe. Fearing that he would be caught, he said nothing and just sat down at the tea table in silence.
Princess Morning Star brewed a pot of black tea in a smooth manner, and pushed the cup to Wu Ci. She chuckled as if they were just chatting casually and said, "I have a piece of advice for you, Chief Wu Ci."
"It is my honor to receive your advice, Princess. I would like to hear your details."
"Be careful with your face, Chief Wuci. He hates your appearance. He has killed several people who looked like you before."
Wu Ci knew that he had to express his opinion, and his voice immediately turned cold. "What do you mean by this, Princess? Are you trying to sow discord between me and Director Zhen Shanhe?"
Princess Morning Star was not annoyed. She just smiled and took a sip of black tea. "You have seen him, right? Do you know where the knife scar on his neck that almost took his life and the fake face came from?"
"…I have no intention of delving into the director's personal life."
"That was his shame, so he erased everything that happened 20 years ago and no one remembered it. He only left behind the fake face, the scar on his neck where his throat was cut, and the sound of the cut throat to commemorate his shame."
Princess Morning Star saw Wu Ci move his fingers subconsciously and added slowly, "I heard that this is because there was a wanted criminal 20 years ago."
Wu Ci remained calm on the surface, but his heart was beating fast.
"He is the most deranged terrorist in the history of the entire Dark Star. Later, in order to threaten the Sky Group to stop the Sky Curtain Project, he even held the heir of the Sky Group hostage while he was wanted and on the run."
Princess Morning Star opened her feather fan and covered her red lips with it, smiling gloatingly, "That guy suffered a lot to fake his death right under the nose of that terrorist, and he only dared to come back after the terrorist was dead...
When he came back, his entire face was destroyed and his throat was cut when he was pretending to be dead. I really don’t know how he survived... However, after he came back, his inheritance rights were snatched away by his brothers because he had been missing for too long.
Your director is also a capable and ruthless character. He killed all his immediate family members and forcibly inherited the entire Sky Group by relying on blood ties. He killed all the board members who disagreed with him, and even the people who knew about the situation were massacred... Later, he even asked the scientists who surrendered to him to find a way to eliminate all the memories and information about the terrorist in the minds of the people, for fear that others would know about his shameful past at the hands of the terrorist.
Like a rat in the gutter, not honest at all, the slightest thing will touch his sensitive and pathetic nerves. "
So...Zhen Shanhe also has a grudge against him?
No wonder, no wonder Zhen Shanhe turned away in disgust as soon as he saw his face.
In Wu Ci's initialized vague memory, it seems that he did hold the heir of the Sky Group hostage.
What a pity, why didn't he remember it? Otherwise, he could take it out and reminisce about it. It would definitely be the best side dish to go with rice.
The Sky Group seems to have a way to extract memories, and can store people's memories in chips. If he extracts the memories and sells them as films, and distributes them to all the people oppressed by the Sky Group as baby food, he will become a billionaire.
Wu Ci was just thinking when Princess Morning Star continued to speak in a long voice, interrupting him cheerfully, "Oh, sorry, look at my brain, it's like this when I've done too much work and I'm not so clear-headed, I accidentally said too much and it's irrelevant."
"It's okay. I'm happy to let Her Highness relax a little during her free time at work. I'm sure the Director won't mind Her Highness's jokes."
"Are you kidding?" Princess Morning Star smiled, but soon regained her composure, "Oh, dear, you'd better really think so.
Originally, he didn't put you in electronic handcuffs, which should be considered a favor to you, but he didn't even change your name, as if you were doomed to die and there was no need to change it."
"name?"
"He has ten names under his command, ten rings as tokens of loyalty, ten cards, and ten names. When the last one dies, the next one inherits. All of them have to change their names. But you didn't change yours."
Wu Ci had never heard Zhen Shanhe and other colleagues say this, but in front of Princess Chenxing, he still used the same old cliché: "Director Zhen Shanhe has his own considerations."
"Since you don't care." Princess Morning Star propped up her chin and said, "I'll get straight to business. Madam Ines and I are very interested in the evil spirits you encountered. Not only the one from Qian Dynasty, but also the one you encountered yesterday."
Lady Ines? Is that the Queen Mother? Why doesn't Princess Morningstar call her mother, but is so distant? Is their relationship not good?
Wu Ci thought this and smiled gently, "The director asked me to tell you that all the files have been archived. If Your Highness wants to know, please go and ask the director yourself."
Princess Morningstar narrowed her eyes dangerously. "I take back my stereotype of you. You are really brave, Wuci."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wu Ci stood up and poured the untouched black tea in the cup into the flowerpot beside him.
The delicate roses that were carefully cared for in the flowerpot withered in an instant.
"bite--"
The white porcelain teacup was gently placed on the table.
"If the princess has nothing else to ask of me, I will take my leave."
"You dare?"
The door to the lobby opened and armed guards surrounded the place.
Several red sniper crosshairs also locked onto Wu Ci's brow from a distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the palace.
The golden spirits gathered around Princess Morning Star, forming a familiar girl in a pink dress and gold hairpins.
It turned out to be the one favored by the Heavenly Master whom he had met in the Qian Dynasty, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Yan!
"I should have asked you to say hello to Taoist Master Chu Ci for me, but unfortunately now is not the right time..."
Miss Chen walked out from behind Princess Morning Star in a charming manner, with eyes similar to Princess Morning Star and a gentle smile, "Don't move, Chief Wu Ci, if you move a little, the sniper will shoot, and those are electromagnetic bullets with armor-piercing effects... Master Chu is now restrained by me and cannot come out, please remember that you are just an ordinary human being, if you are shot, you will die."
Wu Ci lowered his head and found that the black and white checkered tiles beneath his feet were emitting a lotus-shaped halo, connecting Miss Chen and Princess Morning Star who provided him with spiritual power.
He can use his spiritual power, but he cannot use the spirit of the heroic spirit to form a body for "Chu Ci".
Well, how should I put it?
Miss Chen and Princess Morning Star have a high degree of compatibility. They are rigorous in their work and have careful logical thinking. They first provoke him to talk and leave a controllable handle, and also make a secondary preparation of poisoning. If it fails, they will directly control the heroic spirit from appearing and kill the spiritualist.
Simple but inexplicable.
If it were an ordinary person, he would be killed even if he got the card magic given by Zhen Shanhe.
Because the spiritual energy of ordinary necromancers is really not as sufficient as that of witches. I just used up most of it in the level test yesterday, and was called away to perform a mission. I was called here early this morning and I have definitely not recovered.
If you don't have enough spiritual power, even if you use the card's magic, your life will be directly drained.
They even took into account the possibility that Wu Ci still had spiritual power or kryptonian spiritual stones. The moment Wu Ci used his magic, the sniper would be able to shoot a bullet directly through Wu Ci's head.
But unfortunately, there is a problem with the witch's words.
If the Heroic Spirit cannot come out, he can also let the Heroic Spirit transform into a spirit and synchronize its consciousness in his body to protect his original body, and then directly use his original body to kill indiscriminately.
He is just a sniper, but he can catch bullets with his bare hands and shoot them back. Even if it is an electromagnetic bullet, he can chop it back with his Dragon Slashing Sword.
Of course, the possession of the heroic spirit is just an insurance policy, and taking out the Dragon Slaying Sword in person would also expose the special nature of the witch's words.
In his previous life, he was wanted all over the world and fled. Fighters, tanks and missiles chased him and even dropped nuclear bombs directly on where he was. As an ordinary person, Wu Ci was able to survive under such circumstances. Of course, he had some skills. Not to mention that he still had spiritual power to use.
Princess Morning Star was still young after all, and had never heard of Wu Ci's exact deeds. She did not understand that this level of close combat was just a piece of cake for Wu Ci, and that Wu Ci could even resolve it with his own [ordinary person] body.
Therefore, faced with such a relaxed situation, Wu Ci's expression was gentle and calm, even a little excited.
Since Princess Morning Star dared to cause trouble for Zhen Shanhe without caring about his reputation, and did it herself instead of calling other spiritual masters, it meant that this was done in private and on a small scale.
As long as the situation was not particularly serious, or Wu Ci did not kill Princess Morning Star, the Queen Mother Lady Ines would not take action.
So, if he could walk out of the palace unscathed at this time and in this situation, even if he had to let Princess Morningstar go in order to avoid offending the Queen Mother Lady Ines and completely break off relations with the royal family, and then pretend afterwards that he had only accompanied Princess Morningstar in an insignificant little farce, how decent would that be?
How could this be an attack? This was clearly an opportunity for Princess Morning Star to use herself to make him famous! If other nobles knew about this, they would definitely not dare to cause trouble for him...
