Seven Steps of Divine Movement
Zhen Shanhe sat in front of the empty black gold stone bar and commented in a hoarse voice, "Your gentleness makes people uninterested."
"Director, what are you talking about?" Wu Ci pretended to be confused.
Zhen Shanhe did not answer him. Instead, he said in a tone that made Wu Ci feel contemptuous and disrespectful, "Did you see the evil spirit?"
Wu Ci immediately lowered his head with interest, "Yes."
"I remember your heroic spirit is Chuci?"
"You remember it correctly."
Zhen Shanhe hesitated for a moment, "Mian Ke told you that your loan from the Sky Group..."
"Director," Wu Ci raised his head and interrupted him, "I think I can repay the loan on time."
"Oh?" Zhen Shanhe was not angry. Instead, he laughed and pushed a glass of wine on the bar to Wu Ci.
The wine in the glass had the color of jade, but inside it was the ash left after a stone had been stripped of its bones and tendons, and a wisp of red like smoke.
"Are you afraid of death?" he asked.
Wu Ci said in a low voice, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"This cup of wine is called 'Elegy for the Dead,'" Zhen Shanhe pinched his chin again, his dark golden eyes cold, not disguising the contempt in his tone, "Don't pretend you don't understand. You want to climb up and become a spiritualist at any cost. Isn't it all for power and profit?"
"Now you have two choices: work for me voluntarily, or I adjust your interest rate and force you to work for me; otherwise, you can only die."
Wu Ci felt Zhen Shanhe's rough fingertips rubbing gently on his jaw. The repeated rubbing made his skin slightly hot, as if Zhen Shanhe thought his face was fake and was trying to tear it off like tearing double-sided tape.
Suspecting that this face is fake means that Zhen Shanhe once knew this face! Zhen Shanhe still remembers him!
Yes, Zhen Shanhe is the heir of the Sky Group and now he is the chairman, holding a high position. It happened 20 years ago. According to his age, Zhen Shanhe was in his teens at that time, so he must remember it.
Even so... Wu Ci understood how many sins he had committed in his previous life, and how miraculous it was that he became a heroic spirit and returned to the world in just 20 years. He even took over the body of a spiritualist.
Therefore, he must not ask rashly and must try his best to hide his identity. Otherwise, a capitalist like Zhen Shanhe who puts profit first will definitely let his group of scientists who have defected to the Tianji Group tear him apart alive and try to mass-produce his situation.
Wu Ci's thoughts turned, and he lowered his voice, "So, the name of this glass of wine is your warning to me?"
"You can understand it this way yourself." Zhen Shanhe loosened his chin.
There's no escape.
It would be impossible to kill Zhen Shanhe here, as this was the Special Management Bureau, Zhen Shanhe's territory. Not to mention the unknown ability of Zhen Shanhe himself and the large group of spiritual masters under him, the remaining spiritual power of Wu Ci was not enough to support him to take action.
If there is a simulator option now, Wuci will choose
——To be evasive and to be cunning.
"You know very well..."
He smiled, "You know very well that a low-class person like me can never resist the yearning for the upper world."
There is an enemy in front of us, but witchcraft, witchcraft...
Wu Ci lowered his eyes, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and saluted, "As long as your status remains unchanged, I will always offer you my unreserved loyalty."
I have endured for so long, for the sake of the purpose... I will endure for a while longer...
Ha... be patient.
Wu Ci almost laughed at his own ridiculous performance and brainwashing.
Patience, isn't it just pretending? Who can't do that?
He could also say on the spot: I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don’t give up, I am willing to take you as my adoptive father! (Note 1)
After all, both parties knew very well that if Zhen Shanhe lost his current position in the future or was found the opportunity, Wu Ci would take action at any time.
So what if he recognized a thief as his father? So what if he was a servant or a personal soldier?
Wu Ci brainwashed himself: I am not a stubborn old-fashioned person. The dignity I need is not so fragile that it will disappear just by kneeling down as a formality for the sake of more people's respect in the future. Anyway, there is no one around, and kneeling down to show my attitude will not cost me a thing. It will not affect my ability to kill Zhen Shanhe and silence him in the future.
His brainwashing was very effective. He lowered his head quickly and was very interested. He quickly got into the role, as if he would never go west or massacre the city without hesitation. This made Zhen Shanhe feel a little beyond his expectations.
To be honest, he was obedient, but Wu Ci did not drink the glass of wine.
Wu Ci was warning that there was a poison in the wine that could be used to control him, so Zhen Shanhe didn't tell him directly, but pretended not to understand the air and ignored the glass of wine.
If it were someone else doing this kind of small action, Zhen Shanhe would probably use it as an excuse to openly use electronic handcuffs to control him.
However... when Zhen Shanhe looked down at Wu Ci's face from a high place, for some reason, he did not mention that Wu Ci should wear electronic handcuffs like Pi Ke and others.
He changed the subject and waved to Wu Ci, motioning him to sit next to the bar. "The old woman in the palace is very interested in the magic energy, so in order to avoid being locked in a tower as a puppet like the Emperor of the North Pole, Princess Morning Star tried every means to please her and has been looking up historical records of dynasties destroyed by magic energy.
Princess Morning Star will definitely summon you tomorrow when she hears the news. You can then tell her that all the files have been filed away, and that if she wants to know, she can come to the Special Management Bureau to find me."
The old woman in the palace? Considering the context, is she referring to the Queen Mother Ines who has been in power for 20 years and supported the Emperor of the North Star to ascend the throne?
It turns out that the online search terms say that the Emperor of the North Pole Star does not care about state affairs, lives in the towering white tower in the center of Dark Star City every day and cannot come out, and has handed over all affairs to Princess Morning Star to handle. Is it because he is imprisoned as a puppet?
No wonder Princess Morning Star was able to come to power, it turned out to be because she had please the Queen Mother.
But Zhen Shanhe's request was really difficult to fulfill. He told Wu Ci not to say anything when Princess Chenxing asked him questions, but instead asked the princess to come to him in person.
This was equivalent to forcing Wu Ci to join him in slapping the royal family in public. It was completely asking Wu Ci to express his position, offend Princess Morning Star to death first, tie her up on his pirate ship, and establish Wu Ci's identity as a company dog and a personal guard who only obeyed his orders.
Wu Ci suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Did Zhen Shanhe ever consider that the princess would get so angry that she would kill him on the spot?
Of course not. If he died easily at the hands of the princess, he would be a piece of trash with no use value. Why would he be asked to do anything?
"I will convey your message to the princess." Wu Ci said word for word.
Zhen Shanhe didn't say much, just tapped the table with his knuckles.
There was a barely audible sound of wheels turning, and two robots brought a tray to Wu Ci.
"Your uniform and the token ring that represents your status as my direct subordinate."
Zhen Shanhe looked at Wu Ci and said, "I have given you the right to freely enter and exit all places in the Special Management Bureau and a higher status than other spiritual masters. You, like Fu Ke and others, have the right to kill nobles without reason and order the execution of other spiritual masters."
Wu Ci's smile gradually grew. "Including anyone except the royal family and those below our status?"
"They don't, but I can give you this privilege, Wuci, just as you don't have to wear electronic handcuffs like them." Zhen Shanhe squinted at his face.
"I can allow you to bully men and women, build up power, take bribes, kill innocent people, and do whatever you want, even if you join those wandering cults and believe in evil gods, but I will never allow you to... disobey my orders."
"Thank you for your generosity." Wu Ci smiled.
Zhen Shanhe nodded and said, "Heroic spirits are powerful, so most people will choose to attack the spirit masters. Your work will be even more hated, and you will die if you are not careful.
Since you are my precious property, I will give each of you something that can guarantee your survival rate as usual. You can choose whether to take an item or an ability that affects yourself. "
Strange, isn't it true that in the real world there is no spiritual energy except for spiritual masters and spiritual stones?
Judging from the production process, the lotus that I saw in the monk's hand before was probably passed down from the Qian Dynasty. It is understandable that it has special abilities, but how can it have abilities that affect itself in reality?
Wu Ci couldn't help but ask, "Is the ability that affects oneself the kind of skill that the Heroic Spirit practices?"
"It's not really a technique, it's just some methods to extract your own spiritual energy to save your life at a critical moment. If you don't have enough spiritual energy, it will consume your life until you are drained dry."
"Then I choose this one." Wu Ci said.
The artifacts left over from history and the methods that can be used by oneself... I have seen the artifacts, but have never heard of the methods. If they are really useful, then the methods are naturally more valuable.
What's more, Wu Ci doesn't believe in external things, and his spiritual power is greater than that of most spiritual masters, so he can use that method to study it.
"It's a smart choice. Your colleagues have also chosen the method without exception." Zhen Shanhe picked up a pair of black metal cards on the bartender and spread them out in a row on the table. "Draw them. If you win, your biological signal will be automatically locked. It cannot be returned or exchanged, and cannot be passed on to others. You must carry it with you.
It will automatically destroy the Dharma information after confirming your biological signal. After you die, this card will re-extract the Dharma information from your corpse's brain and I will arrange for someone to collect it until your next new colleague draws this card from me, or some other situation occurs."
Wu Ci noticed the number of cards in that row, there were only five.
Was it taken away by another colleague? Or was it lost and not successfully recovered?
He asked, "Other scenarios say that after killing me, the key to this card can be taken away?"
"No, after I kill you, all your cards will be taken away." Zhen Shanhe gave a sly smile, "Many people are watching you."
"It's like raising a group of pigs. I only want the most capable ones, so I always encourage others who want to climb up to the top to take action against you."
"According to the rules I set, as long as someone is strong enough to kill any of you by himself, then no matter who they are, criminals, mercenaries, assassins...
As long as they get your cards and the token rings that represent your identities after killing you, they will be pardoned of all their crimes and be eligible to take your place..."
Another game to please the upper class.
It was another game in which the capitalists manipulated their lives at will. He once again became a chess piece in the hands of the capitalists.
Wu Ci lowered his head in silence, making it impossible to see his expression. He used up almost all of his rationality to restrain his burning anger.
"I will try to survive, Chief."
"You may be mistaken. I am not worried about your survival rate."
Zhen Shanhe grabbed Wu Ci by the collar and pulled him close, sneering, "Of course I know how greedy and unscrupulous people like you are in the wilderness... Just like a wild wolf that can never be fed, you are only happy to enjoy such rules.
Just as other people can get your cards, you can also inherit each other's cards. But, every time my property destroys itself and causes me losses, it is best to give me a proper reason. "
The dark golden eyes flickered, and Zhen Shanhe's hoarse voice laughed and warned in his ear, "Don't go too far, Wu Ci. I don't want you to be the only one under my direct supervision. There will be too much work to be done."
Wu Ci was stunned.
He had not thought of this at first, purely because Zhen Shanhe misunderstood him based on his original experience. However, after Zhen Shanhe's reminder, his mind immediately became active.
Is this a hint? Zhen Shanhe hinted that he could get rid of some redundant and undervalued colleagues, leaving vacancies for more capable people to take over.
And those inherited cards are rewards.
The corners of his mouth curved upwards, and he raised his hand and pulled a card from the table. "Of course, Director, I will be careful not to let your property suffer excessive losses."
——The card was turned over, revealing a faceless person with arms outstretched.
In fact, it’s not that it has no face, but its facial features are all blank, with a big fake smile painted with colorful paints, and the exaggerated and weird arc makes it look like it is crying.
It's Xiao Chou, the biggest joker in the deck.
A sharp mechanical data needle protruded from the sharp edge of the metal card, piercing Wu Ci's fingertips the moment he drew the card.
The data flowed through the spiritual energy coursing through his body and into his brain.
He received the name of this method:
[Seven Steps of the Divine Movement (1/7 Fragmentary Scroll)]
By extracting spiritual energy and life, it suppresses all beings around it indiscriminately.
Each level of cultivation, manifested in the body, is equivalent to taking a step forward. As the name of this method suggests, the "Seven Steps of Divine Movement" has seven levels, a total of seven steps, and the consumption and power of each step doubles.
The data only unlocks the first layer.
[One step to conquer the country]
The exact power was unclear, but Wu Ci estimated that if he took this step, a month's worth of spiritual energy would be drained away.
"You drew a good card, but this is a remnant of history, and I only have the first two volumes." Zhen Shanhe put away the remaining cards.
"If I want to apply to you for the second volume, do I need any merits?"
"Don't be too ambitious. Live till that time comes."
Not sure what had touched his nerves, but Zhen Shanhe suddenly became displeased and cold. He waved to the robots beside him, signaling them to take Wu Ci out and ordered them to leave.
Wu Ci glanced at the place where he kept the cards and licked his lips.
Just wait, capitalists, sooner or later you will explode his gold coins and turn them into street lamp pendants.
