Chapter 151 Chaotic Block No. 13 (8) The Prince of Mujin Principality...
After laughing, Bai Jie suddenly came back to his senses and said seriously: "What does the explosion of the Soul Gem have to do with us? It was the twelfth wise king who caused it to explode."
Wei Xiangchen smiled contemptuously: "Don't play dumb with me. The Black Owl's intelligence team is more informed than you think. If the twelfth Xianwang is in the instance, Chief Yin will definitely inform me in advance."
"There was no Sage King Twelve in Block 13. As soon as Gao Mengtang arrived, Sage King Twelve came. Coincidence?"
Bai Jie shrugged and said nothing.
"I just want to take the soul gem back for my mission. Since this one has exploded," Wei Xiangchen tapped the gem on the top of the antique cane with his index finger, "then I'll have to trouble the twelfth king to create another soul gem."
The Soul Gem can be refined, but since it is the gem inlaid in the crown of the Wise King, one can imagine how rare it is, and refining it is definitely not easy.
Bai Jie was furious after hearing this: "It's just a broken gem. Our leader can blow it up if he wants. If you want to complete the task, go and refine it yourself! You want our leader to help you refine the gem? You are sworn brothers with yourself - who do you think you are?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Jie, a mid-level player, dared to point at his nose and scold him. Wei Xiangchen was stunned for a few seconds, his face as pale as paper, and he slowly forced a smile: "Little brat, you are quite brave."
"Who are you calling a brat? You are much older than me!"
Wei Xiangchen was too lazy to engage in a war of words with him, so he got straight to the point: "Only moon creatures can refine soul gems. I am very sincere in my cooperation. Please tell Chief Gao that I want to meet with him and I implore him to take the time to come."
Two black waves formed two hands, holding a scented card and handed it to Bai Jie.
"I think the twelfth wise king must be very curious about the past and present of the Black Tower," Wei Xiangchen said, "I just happen to know a little about... Epiphyllum Ridge."
Bai Jie hesitated for a few seconds and took the card.
"Oh, by the way, since we want to cooperate, I will pay a deposit first." Wei Xiangchen thought distressedly, "What did Yin Mingwu say to me? I'm old and my mind is not very sharp..."
How old are you? You look like you're in your early twenties, why are you pretending to be an elder? Bai Jie thought to himself.
"I remember now," Wei Xiangchen tapped his solar acupoint, "Hydra is in Block 13."
Bai Jie: "Hydra, what the hell?"
"It's up to you, Chief Gao, to find the answer yourself." Wei Xiangchen's body gradually faded away, and his dreamlike voice became more and more disjointed. "Goodbye. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night."
"Wait a minute!" He Yi suddenly said, "You are just leaving a sentence that no one can understand as a deposit. What kind of riddler are you? If you want to cooperate, take the money."
Wei Xiangchen looked at He Yi in surprise, not understanding what he meant for a moment: "Money?"
"The main task requires us to save 250,000 yuan. Only by taking the money can we show our sincerity." Tu Cheng crossed his arms across his chest.
"Um, money. Yes, money is a good thing," Wei Xiangchen said stutteringly, "but it concerns the survival of mankind and the future of the Black Tower. Are you only focusing on a small main task?"
Hoy: "You're paying rent with the survival of mankind and the future of the Black Tower? What kind of metaphysics are you talking about?"
Judging from Wei Xiangchen's expression, he probably didn't understand what "metaphysics" meant. He searched his pockets and found 4,356 yuan.
"All my belongings are yours for your acceptance."
Bai Jie counted the banknotes and said, "You made a lot of money. What kind of crooked way did you take?"
"Take the tribute from the cemetery."
After saying this, Wei Xiangchen turned into a layer of light and disappeared without a trace.
The trip was not in vain. Bai Jie and others returned to the house in Block 13. Everyone else had gone out to work, leaving Wei Wei alone at home.
"I saw Wei Xiangchen." Bai Jie said.
Wei Wei buried his head in a book: "What an old immortal. What is he doing here?"
Bai Jie briefly recounted what happened, and Wei Wei listened without much reaction: "I'm glad everyone is safe."
"He doesn't look very old. When was he born?" Bai Jie asked casually.
Wei Wei: "301 BC."
New, New BC?! Bai Jie counted on his fingers for a long time: "He is more than 600 years old? How can he still be alive!"
"He was originally the Grand Duke of the Hibiscus Principality. He died unjustly and his ghost lingered. During the Black Tower closed beta, he told Yin Mingwu in a dream that he wanted to be resurrected. If he could return to the human world, he would repay him with a gift of grass and a ring."
Wei Wei sneered: "How could Yin Mingwu know the art of resurrection? I called his soul back. As a result, he became the leader above me."
"I have never heard of it. I only know that Deputy Chief Heiou was a sacrificial victim..." Bai Jie scratched his head.
Wei Wei: "He only has a soul, but no body. Therefore, he is extremely fragile. He rarely goes to dungeons and sits in the office all day giving orders. He even deducted my performance..."
A whistle suddenly sounded, shaking the glass. The harsh sound swallowed up the second half of Wei Wei's words, and everyone in the room looked out the window at the same time.
"What's wrong? Why are you honking?" Bai Jie looked out the window. Outside the residential area where they lived, there was a narrow but busy road with many roadside stalls along the road.
After the whistle sounded, the vendors packed up their stalls in panic.
"Long whistle, monsters are invading." Wei Wei frowned.
Bai Jie: "How do you know?"
"Reading." Wei Wei frowned and listened for a while. "A long whistle, followed by two short and one long. The monster is on the north side of Area 13, outside the city wall."
Gao Mengtang was cleaning the sewers outside the north city wall today.
"Mr. Blind is in danger!" Wei Wei jumped out of the window and left, leaving Bai Jie, who had not yet recovered, with a confused look on his face.
After a few seconds of reaction, Bai Jie yelled and chased after him.
*
When Wei Wei arrived, a gap had been blown in the gray wall, and the sewer gas exploded, with flames lighting up half the sky red.
A small white figure ran out from the blast in the distance. The protective suit was heavy, so he ran clumsily, taking a penguin-like gait, holding a flamethrower in his arms.
"Wei Wei!" Gao Mengtang's voice.
"How are you?" Wei Wei rushed over and held his shoulders.
"I'm dirty," Gao Mengtang pulled away and quickly explained the situation, "Awen and the tattooed boy have died. My brother and He Lun are still in the sewer."
The courtroom exploded, and manpower was needed everywhere. They had a heavy workload today, so they split into two groups. Gao Mengtang, Awen, and the tattooed man were in one group, and He Lun and Gao Geng were in the other.
When the accident happened, Gao Mengtang was burning Tong Xin Teng when he suddenly heard the harsh sound of metal friction.
Turning around, they saw two huge red skulls biting the tattooed man and Awen's heads, and their sharp teeth pierced the metal shells of their helmets.
Gao Mengtang wanted to save them, but the two men's heads were exploded and there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to hold his weapon and run away. Maybe his luck value of 50 worked, the skull didn't chase him.
As he spoke, Gao Mengtang took off his protective suit. If the monsters invaded, the Court of Justice and the Security Department would definitely come to support him. If they found out that he was a fifth-class citizen doing the job of a fourth-class citizen, it would be troublesome.
The support team arrived a little faster than he expected, with half of their protective suits taken off. A helicopter was hovering not far away. More than a dozen people jumped down without parachutes.
The huge impact force created a deep hole in the lawn.
The lady in the lead was the presiding judge, An Ning. She was wearing a burgundy windbreaker. When she passed by Gao Mengtang and the others, she glanced at them and said, "Fifth-class citizen?"
Gao Mengtang: "Uh..."
"Take him away. I'll come back and deal with him."
A group of people surrounded him, held down Gao Mengtang and others' shoulders, and locked him in an armored vehicle nearby.
An Ning closed her eyes slightly, placed her palms together, and slowly opened them. A fiery red ball of light appeared between her two palms. She murmured in a low voice: "Valkyrie, the war god who gluttons for corpses. Bless me, gnaw on death, and plant new life."
The air became blazing, a stream of heat rushed to the sky, and winds blew towards An Ning from all directions. The red light turned into a dazzling armor, and a circle of flames burned around her.
An Ning put her hand into the flames, her skin was burnt black, but her expression did not change at all, and she pulled out a huge sword from the flames. The blade drew a crescent of fire in the air like a red moon.
"Boss, we're following you!" someone shouted.
An Ning: "You guys will only get in the way if you follow me."
She rushed toward the gray wall like a meteor, and the ground trembled under her steel helmet and armor.
"He Lun must like this set of armor very much." He Yi leaned on the car window with an envious look on his face.
In the distance, there were waves of wind, the armored vehicle was shaking, and the red light was like a dragon flying through the collapsed ruins. Bai Jie was stunned: "Wei Wei, can you beat her?"
"She is more valuable alive than dead." Wei Wei said, flipping through the photos on his phone, "Found it. Judge An Ning. ID card: [Valkyrie] [No. 00799]"
Wei Wei's mobile phone stored many favorite lists of the court staff. This chief judge was of course the focus of Wei Wei's attention.
An Ning was also the examiner in the interview in the courtroom.
Likes: Cats. Classical music.
Hate: Long live the Lord.
"Are you ready to please her?" Hei asked suddenly.
Gao Mengtang: "Don't say that, society is very complicated..."
"You're right," Wei Wei admitted frankly, "If you want to make money, you don't have to please your boss here. Do you think you can just stand up straight and wait for God to give you a bonus?"
Hei Yi looked down upon such behavior. She sneered and turned away to ignore Wei Wei. Gao Mengtang's eyes moved between the two of them: "Hei Yi, if you do this, Wei Wei will be sad. The ticket is 250,000 yuan each. It is not difficult for Wei Wei to earn this money. He is trying so hard to help you buy the tickets."
In fact, Wei Wei doesn't care what others think of him. He is just thinking about An Ning, this special NPC.
He paid attention to An Ning not only because she was the top leader, but more importantly, An Ning hated the Emperor.
Then she probably doesn't like the six-class citizen system. Rules are dead, but people are alive. If you make yourself familiar with someone, you might get a high score in the future interview, and you can also get some leniency in identity verification.
In less than five minutes, An Ning came out holding two red skulls, followed by Gao Geng and He Lun.
As soon as she came over, Wei Wei opened the car door, rushed over and hugged He Lun tightly, his voice so excited that he almost cried: "That's great, you're okay."
Heron:?
"Mr. Wei, what are you doing? Don't scare me!" He Lun was more frightened than seeing a monster.
"Shut. Your mouth." Wei Wei lowered his voice, enunciating each word, squeezing out two words from between his teeth.
He Lun immediately pretended to be dumb and even forgot to breathe.
After the opening scene, it was time to get down to business. Wei Wei bowed to An Ning and said, "Thank you for saving my friend. We don't have the ability to repay you, but we will always remember your kindness."
An Ning looked Wei Wei up and down: "Your voice?"
"Injured. Disabled."
Somehow, An Ning's brows furrowed even more tightly. Her men were busy pressing the two skulls into the iron box.
"What's your name?" An Ning asked.
This surprised Wei Wei a little. An Ning was a first-class citizen, a high-level player, and the top leader of District 13 and Yingzhu District. She killed the monster not out of kindness to save the lower class, but to maintain the stability of the area.
In An Ning's eyes, these fifth-class citizens are nothing more than human miners. Without cameras following them, why would An Ning pretend to care about the people?
The more Wei Wei thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Out of caution, he casually said a pseudonym that Gao Mengtang had used: "My name is Meng Yiqiao."
An Ning smiled coldly, even a little sinisterly: "Fifth-class citizen, with an ID card. Where did it come from?"
Wei Wei pretended to be panicked and stared at him blankly: "I am..."
"Don't call yourself that." An Ning thrust the giant sword into the soil, leaned on the hilt, and looked at him with a half-smile. "Did you buy it on the black market?"
"I..." Wei Wei lowered his eyes.
Lying to her won't work. An Ning is not a fool. On the contrary, it will give her a negative impression of being glib. It's best not to admit or deny it.
Seeing that Wei Wei didn't say anything, An Ning was also a little surprised. Obtaining an identity card through illegal means is a serious crime punishable by beheading. Most people would have sworn, cried and made up a lot of lies if they encountered such a situation.
Silence is also a reply. This man named "Meng Yiqiao" used silence to admit that his ID card was not obtained in a regular way.
He is quite honest and decent.
In times of crisis, everyone wants to protect themselves. There are too many people who illegally obtain ID cards, and An Ning is too lazy to care. He catches about a hundred people every year to boost his performance. Wei Wei is also aware of this.
She scanned it with her bracelet: "ID card: Dragon Tamer. Let me see your dragon."
Wei Wei summoned a little black dragon. Its identity card had just been fused with it, and the black dragon was still a cub, chubby, curled up in a ball, and slept in Wei Wei's arms.
"It's so small. You must have just got your ID card not long ago." An Ning stretched out a finger and wanted to touch the dragon's head, but the little black dragon suddenly became furious and bit her hard.
Wei Wei: "Sir!"
"It's okay." When An Ning finished saying these two words, her wound had healed. "You guys take a good rest."
He drew out his huge sword, and the armor on his body turned into a layer of light and dissipated into the air. His long red windbreaker rustled.
He Lun's eyes were full of stars, and he excitedly looked down at Wei Wei's shoulders: "She is so handsome, I want such armor too!"
Wei Wei's glare scared He Lun so much that he broke away from his infatuated state and shrank aside, as quiet as a quail.
"Great, the crisis is over," Gao Mengtang said with a smile, "Let's go home—"
"Hey, over there!" Assistant Wu Yang came over with three pairs of handcuffs in his hand and shouted at them, "Overstepping your authority to complete the work of a fourth-class citizen, you will be detained for three days."
Gao Mengtang suddenly came back to his senses. He opened his eyes wide, innocently and sincerely: "Sir, we just want to make money. Can you please give us some leniency? If we were not short of money, we would not dare to take such a risk."
"Three days of detention is already a very light punishment. The presiding judge is merciful. He has not yet investigated who introduced you to this job!" Wu Yang said coldly.
"Don't stare at me with those big eyes of yours! Why are you pretending to be Bambi?" Wu Yang fiddled with the handcuffs and walked closer slowly. "Seducing me is useless."
Gao Mengtang: “…”
