Chapter 105
Half an hour later, Feng Jihan, who found Zhou Mian missing, hurried back to the nightmare world and had a fierce conflict with Tong Ming outside the door.
Through the heavy door, the faint voices outside became muffled. Cen Xun was annoyed by their noise and opened the door to stop them.
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?"
Cen Xun's patience was running out, and the two people who were wrestling with each other were well aware of Cen Xun's temper. They immediately separated, still glaring at each other.
Cen Xun asked Zhou Mian to come out and leave with Feng Jihan. Tong Ming was very unwilling: "Brother, why do you side with him? I am your biological brother!"
"What happened between you and Zhou Mian has nothing to do with me, and I don't care to care." Cen Xun glanced at him and said in a businesslike tone, "If you can beat Feng Jihan, take Zhou Mian away from him. We can each talk based on our own abilities."
Feng Jihan immediately agreed: "The mayor is right! Zhou Mian is my teammate. If you want to take him away, you have to get past me first."
Tong Ming suddenly became furious. All his skills were focused on omniscience. In terms of combat power, he was definitely no match for Feng Jihan. How could he possibly take Zhou Mian away from him?
Tong Ming gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Mian, but Zhou Mian didn't even look at him and walked towards Feng Jihan with an expressionless face.
Feng Jihan frowned and looked at Zhou Mian: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Mian shook his head silently, obviously not wanting to talk about what happened last night.
Feng Jihan didn't plan to talk more here. Tong Ming was still watching him eagerly. Feng Jihan was worried that Tong Ming would say something unpleasant again, which would bring a bigger shadow to Zhou Mian. So he said goodbye to Cen Xun briefly and took Zhou Mian away first.
Tong Ming was just beginning to show interest in the new toy, so he was unwilling to give up. He secretly wanted to follow, but just as he took a step, Cen Xun called out to him, "Sixth Brother, come in with me."
Cen Xun's tone sounded a bit cold. Tong Ming dared to jump up and down in front of him, but did not dare to disobey him. He had to turn around and reluctantly followed Cen Xun into the office.
Cen Xun sat down on the square chair again, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said to Tong Ming, "Stay away from Zhou Mian from now on."
Tong Ming suddenly raised his eyes, his expression somewhat incredulous: "Fourth brother, you just said that you would not care about what happens between him and me."
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice in advance. The choice of whether or not to continue being involved with Zhou Mian is still yours." Cen Xun said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to lose half of your godhood in the future, from now on, until the moment Zhou Mian dies, never see him again."
"Huh?" Tong Ming was completely bewildered after hearing this, and he felt even more incredulous: "Brother, are you saying that I will lose half of my godhood because of Zhou Mian? How is that possible? Just because of him??"
Cen Xun said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, this is the future that is likely to happen."
Tong Ming sneered and said unconcernedly: "Okay, then I want to see what Zhou Mian did to bring me to that state."
Cen Xun looked at him quietly: "If you are sure that you can accept such a future, then it's up to you."
After all, what harm would it do to Cen Xun if Tong Ming lost half of his divine power?
On the contrary, you can also eliminate a competitor, so why not do it?
At this moment, Tong Ming was still swearing to him, "If I lose half of my godhood because of him, then I lose! I deserve it!"
Since Tong Ming didn't believe in evil, Cen Xun agreed to his wishes: "Remember what you said, and get out."
Cen Xun had already said everything he needed to say, and he had fulfilled his obligation to remind his younger brother.
"Just watch, brother. I can control Zhou Mian as easily as controlling a bug."
Tong Ming walked out of the door with full of excitement. Cen Xun watched him leave, supporting his chin and staring at the words on the document, slightly distracted.
Ursa asked curiously, "Mayor, what are you thinking about?"
"I just feel that fate is something that is really hard to change." Cen Xun said thoughtfully: "If I hadn't said those words to Tong Ming just now, perhaps Tong Ming wouldn't be so determined to prove himself."
"Destiny is fate and luck."
Cen Xun wrote the word "destiny" on a blank piece of paper and narrowed his eyes. "A person's habits and personality often lead them to a single path. This single path is called destiny."
Wusa fell into thought: "But why is there a fork in the road?"
"If there were no other interference, this road would indeed be the only straight one," Cen Xun recalled the scene he had just witnessed at the [Fork in the Road] and shook his head. "But unfortunately, everyone's destiny isn't an independent line, but rather a tangled web of intertwined and mutually influential forces. Even a single move can affect the entire body. Therefore, the sudden intervention of others can also change a person's fate."
Usa tried to imagine that scene: "It sounds so complicated."
"Yes," Cen Xun smiled slightly, "and my eldest sister [Destiny] actually holds the power to intervene in the fate of others."
Cen Xun stared at the word "destiny" on the paper, his smile slightly cold.
Usa sensed the murderous intent and silently walked a little further away.
After a moment, Cen Xun's expression returned to normal. He looked up and said to Wu Sa, "Secretary Wu, we'll have a small meeting in an hour. Have Tong Ming, 0001, 0002, and 0096 be present."
Ursa immediately said, "Okay, what's the topic of the meeting?"
Cen Xun resumed reviewing the documents and wrote casually, "Natural Disaster will come to disrupt the party tonight. I need to discuss tactics with them."
Wusa didn't ask Cen Xun why he could predict the arrival of the [natural disaster] in advance, and agreed immediately.
Cen Xun put the approved document aside and distractedly thought that Zhou Mian's predictive ability was quite useful.
No, the more useful skill is actually [Where many people walk, there must be one who can teach me]. Nine learning opportunities a day are enough for Cen Xun to copy many useful skills.
The only limitation is that he can only "learn" the same skill twice a day, and the effect of the second "learning" will be greatly weakened.
Cen Xunyuan likened this learning phenomenon to "biting off too much to digest."
Predicting the scene of Tong Ming's battle with [Natural Disaster] tonight was a pleasant surprise, but another question soon appeared in Cen Xun's mind.
The mysterious domain of [Natural Disaster] is located on an island in the Posa Sea and should be isolated from the outside world. However, [Natural Disaster] suddenly decided to come and make trouble, and the timing of the incident happened to be the eve of the opening of Fengdu Ghost City. Cen Xun keenly felt that something was wrong.
A big question is, who provided the information about the natural disaster?
Fengdu Ghost City borders the Posa Sea. Once a natural disaster triggers a tsunami, it would seem to outsiders that Fengdu Ghost City would easily be destroyed by the tsunami and become a complete waste.
If the opening of Fengdu Ghost City fails, the number of beneficiaries will be countless. Cen Xun is unable to figure out the truth behind it for a while, so he has to put his doubts aside for the time being.
Fengdu Ghost City emerged strongly and directly monopolized 10 million new players, which was bound to arouse hatred and malice from other domain masters. Cen Xun had anticipated this and was happy to accept the challenge.
There has to be more excitement in life to make it interesting enough.
An hour later, Cen Xun and 0001 and others held a small meeting.
In the afternoon, rehearsals were carried out as normal in Fengdu Ghost Town, while Cen Xun and 0001 came to the sea cliff, facing the sea breeze and gazing at the dark distant sea.
The coastline had retreated a lot at some point, revealing a large area of dark, rugged reefs. The bare reefs stretched for a very long distance, giving people the illusion that the Posa Sea was now very far away from the mainland.
The sea breeze ruffled the loose hair on Cen Xun's forehead. His long black hair was tied into a bun and hung behind him, rising slightly with the wind.
"I asked you to help take care of a mentally unstable person last night. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble." Cen Xun suddenly asked this while looking ahead.
0001 was slightly stunned and turned to look at him.
Cen Xun's profile was expressionless, as if he was just saying casually, "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"I do have a question for you," 0001 paused, "That person called me 'Yun Shiqing', could I really be..."
"You are," Cen Xun interrupted him, turning to look him in the eye: "You are indeed Yun Shiqing."
0001 showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Thanks to your comfort, Su Mingqi has now returned to the real world with the atheist." Cen Xun smiled slightly: "It was a bit beyond my expectations. I thought he would choose to stay with you."
0001 said absentmindedly, "I thought he recognized the wrong person, so I persuaded him to go back. It turns out he is really an old friend."
"Yeah, it's such a coincidence." Cen Xun sighed and echoed him, then suddenly changed the subject: "If Su Mingqi is sent by the Heretic Monitoring Bureau to destroy our place tonight, Yun Shiqing, will you help me deal with him?"
When Cen Xun said this, there was a smile in his voice, and there was not even a hint of aggression in his tone.
Yun Shiqing's face froze. He had to remind Cen Xun: "When we signed the agreement, there was a clause that said..."
"The principal may not force any staff to kill or harm any human being in any way." Cen Xun slowly read out this key clause, watching Yun Shiqing's face gradually turn pale, and said, "But Su Mingqi is no longer human now."
"The Fallen are half human, half demon. Can someone like Su Mingqi be considered human?"
Cen Xun placed his hand on Yun Shiqing's shoulder, moved slightly closer to him, and said in a low voice, "We are now a team, don't be partial to outsiders, Captain Yun."
Yun Shiqing felt as if a poisonous snake was climbing on his shoulder, staring at him and spitting out cold red letters.
Yun Shiqing kept a tense expression and heard his own cold voice coming out of his mouth.
"I see."
Cen Xun smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."
The wind at the seaside seems to be getting stronger.
Soon, the sky became dark at a speed visible to the naked eye, the light dimmed rapidly, and faint thunder came from overhead, full of awe-inspiring power, as if loudly announcing the arrival of something.
The rain quickly grew heavier. Cen Xun reached out to catch the raindrops, his lips curled up with a hint of murderous intent: "Looks like I'll have another extra meal today."
Cen Xun left first, and Yun Shiqing stayed on the cliff, alone, continuing to look into the distance.
His clothes were completely soaked by the heavy rain, and rain rolled down his chin. Yun Shiqing pursed his lips and looked expressionlessly at something that was getting closer and closer in the distant sea.
It was a high wall built by huge waves, perhaps as high as a hundred-story building. Because it was too far away, Yun Shiqing could not estimate its exact height for the time being.
But what is foreseeable is that it will be an extremely terrifying tsunami.
Yun Shiqing did not leave, but sat down on the edge of the cliff. His feet were dangling in the air on the hundred-foot cliff, and below the cliff were bare reefs.
"A tough opponent."
Yun Shiqing muttered this, and it was unclear whether he was talking about the approaching tsunami or something else.
It seemed like just a moment, and the overwhelming tsunami was right in front of him. Yun Shiqing sat on the cliff, staring calmly at the surging sea that was about to swallow him, still without dodging or avoiding.
A purple lightning flashed down at this moment, and in a flash, the huge wave was like a giant hand, slamming towards the city below.
In an instant, deafening thunder, like the echo from the creation of the world, suddenly exploded in my ears, causing the ground to tremble faintly.
Such a majestic thunder suddenly stopped in mid-air.
It encountered some kind of obstacle.
The purple lightning spread along the outline of the barrier, finally revealing the general outline of the transparent obstacle.
It was a protective shield large enough to cover the entire city.
The huge waves, carrying the devastating power of nature, slammed heavily on the protective shield. Despite such a powerful blow, the protective shield remained motionless, standing firmly above the Fengdu Ghost City.
The howling hurricane was like an angry roar. Yun Shiqing wiped the water droplets from his face and calmly looked at the receding tide.
0096 praised him in the headset: "Not bad, 0001."
"Thanks to the Finance Department for allocating me enough points," Yun Shiqing asked, "How are things going over there?"
0096 said excitedly, "Omniscience has locked onto the location of [Natural Scourge], and we are targeting her with nuclear weapons. You just need to hold on for a while."
Yun Shiqing said "hmm".
The next round of tsunami came again, and at the same time, several lightning bolts fell like rain, shaking the sky and the earth. The roaring sounds in the ears merged into a bursting sound that almost shattered the eardrums.
But Yun Shiqing was no longer a human being after all, so he was not affected too much.
Amidst the continuous thunder, Yun Shiqing's voice was barely audible.
"Fengdu Ghost City is humanity's last hope. You will never be allowed to destroy it."
"The real Ark of Creation is right here."
A nuclear weapon carrying special metals quietly fell over a small island in the Posuo Sea.
The [Natural Disaster], which was causing a lot of trouble, noticed something and looked up in surprise.
"boom"
An extremely dazzling blue flash illuminated the sky and the earth, and a huge mushroom cloud bloomed on the island. Fire and smoke shot up into the sky, and a powerful shock wave pushed in all directions. The grass, trees and stones were annihilated by the shock wave, and everything on the island was destroyed.
Including the island itself.
Tong Ming waved at the mushroom cloud on the screen and said hypocritically, "Third sister, I hope you have a safe journey!"
