Chapter 172 Chaos Block No. 13 (29) The Twelve Wise Kings Rise...
People from wizard families have the secret to maintaining their youthful looks. Bai Mingzhi originally looked to be 16 or 17 years old, but now he seems to be getting a little older.
"I lost collagen, and now I have a wrinkle under my lower eyelid! I also have less hair!" Bai Mingzhi put his face close to Gao Mengtang's nose, "Look! I've aged 10 years!"
Gao Mengtang leaned back and kept some distance.
Just now in the classroom, he saw with his own eyes a boy grow from a 15-year-old to a 25-year-old.
Now, Bai Mingzhi says he is 10 years older.
The timeline of this copy is exactly 10 years later...
This is surely no coincidence. Why does the system make people grow 10 years older?
When they returned to the old mansion, it was already daybreak. Song Zhong stopped the car, ran into the mansion as if escaping for his life, and hid in the closet. Gao Mengtang had to work hard to find him.
"You were very brave tonight, keep it up." Gao Mengtang smiled and patted his head.
Brave, brave?
Song Zhong looked at Gao Mengtang in disbelief.
"You didn't sleep much last night, have a good rest." Gao Mengtang said, and found a white and soft quilt, patted it, "It's safe here, have a good sleep."
After Gao Mengtang made the bed and left the bedroom, Song Zhong walked out of the closet tremblingly and lay down carefully in the quilt. The fabric seemed to still be stained with the fragrance of Gao Mengtang's hair.
He recalled a scene not long ago: Gao Mengtang opened the closet door, saw him, smiled, eyebrows curved, spring breeze blowing on her face.
The light was dim, but Gao Mengtang's delicate facial features could be seen clearly.
You were very brave tonight.
Song Zhong hid his face in the quilt and smiled embarrassedly. He could do it well too!
*
Gao Mengtang wanted to know more information from Bai Mingzhi, but after asking her several times and giving her a bottle of potion that could awaken potential memories, Bai Mingzhi still couldn't remember anything.
According to her, she saved up 250,000 yuan, bought a train ticket, went back to her rented house to sleep, and prepared to take a train to leave the copy the next day.
When she woke up, she was in the classroom. Duan Song and Hydra were fighting each other, and a leg of the Ancestral Titan stepped out from the blackboard...
Bai Mingzhi ran out in fear, and just in time Song Zhong summoned a portal, so she followed him out.
"Then, I, I aged 10 years!" Bai Mingzhi wiped her tears with a tissue, not daring to wipe her eyes hard for fear of new wrinkles. "What should I do, Gao Tangtang? All the skin care products I made from human flesh, blood and brains have been wasted!"
Gao Mengtang was quite helpless: "You are also very charming like this."
"Does it look good?" Bai Mingzhi looked in the mirror. "It is indeed pretty... Many young men like mature ones. Gao Tangtang, do you like mature women or immature girls?"
"Mature," Gao Mengtang held his forehead weakly, "Think about it carefully again, did you have any dreams?"
"Really?" Bai Mingzhi leaned closer and blinked her big round and bright eyes, "Am I beautiful?"
Gao Mengtang: “…”
Bai Mingzhi saw Gao Mengtang's calm eyes and curled his lips: "You are a spiritually castrated saint. I can't seduce you. Where is your Wei Wei?"
The female version of Wei Wei sitting next to Gao Mengtang:?
"Hey, who is this sister?" Bai Mingzhi just noticed the people around Gao Mengtang. "Don't waste your energy on Gao Mengtang. He won't be attracted to anyone. I have experience and can tell at a glance. Wei Wei can still give it a try..."
"Neither can Wei Wei." The female version of Wei Wei said coldly.
Bai Mingzhi posed in front of the mirror, twisting and turning: "It's OK, even though Wei Wei is a eunuch... It's so cold, has the temperature suddenly dropped?"
The sudden drop in air temperature should be a precursor to the appearance of Wei Xiangchen. Gao Mengtang and Wei Wei looked at each other, stood up alone, said "I want to rest", and then went to another empty room.
As expected, Gao Mengtang had just locked the door and turned around to see Wei Xiangchen in a half-soul state.
"Why are you here?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Xiangchen looked a little flustered: "Good night, Chief Gao. I have discovered something, but I don't know who to tell. After thinking about it, I think only someone like you who doesn't follow the ordinary path can understand these unreliable things..."
Is this a compliment or an insult? Gao Mengtang was a little unhappy.
Forget it, just take it as a nice suggestion.
In the dimly lit room, Wei Xiangchen recounted his experiences...
As a soul, Wei Xiangchen can be completely invisible and evade detection by the energy wave meter. Therefore, if he wants to sneak across the border, he doesn't need to buy a ticket. He can just turn invisible, hide in the car, and leave with others.
After repairing the soul gem, Wei Xiangchen completed the dungeon mission and was preparing to leave by car.
"But I met a very special man. He had half black and half white hair," Wei Xiangchen said with a look of disbelief as he recounted his experience.
Gao Mengtang: "Yin Yang hair, very unique, I've always wanted to dye it."
Wei Xiangchen: "...That's not the point! He earned the money to buy the ticket, and I followed him secretly."
The day before yesterday morning, Wei Xiangchen followed the shaggy-haired boy and met the smuggler selling tickets. He watched the boy buy a ticket and also learned where the smuggling bus would stop and when it would depart.
Wei Xiangchen entered the bus in advance and hid under the seat for a night.
The next day, he saw the boy with the shaggy hair getting on the bus. He looked a little different. He seemed... a little older.
As a soul over 600 years old, Wei Xiangchen was already numb and insensitive to the age of humans. He just felt that Yin Yang's hair looked a little different, but he didn't care.
So far, everything seems to be working fine.
After the carriage was full of people, the TV at the front lit up and a skinny, haggard man appeared on the screen.
"Is he skinny and has a hoarse voice?" Gao Mengtang asked hurriedly.
Wei Xiangchen nodded.
Perhaps, it was the person Gao Mengtang had seen on the projection screen.
"Do you know who he is?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Xiangchen: "If I'm not mistaken... he is the one lying on the back of the Thirteenth King."
Gao Mengtang was stunned: "Is it him... After his death, his soul was refined into the ID card [000 Blind]?"
"That's right." Wei Xiangchen continued.
The haggard man smiled and said to the passengers in the carriage: "There is a small possibility that the predicted new world will not come as expected."
"It's a small possibility, but we're not willing to take the gamble."
"We are about to correct the world line. Everyone, welcome to the new world development line."
“Have a nice trip.”
As soon as the last word was spoken, everyone in the carriage fell asleep at the same second.
Wei Xiangchen hid under the seat, watching the scene in amazement: the bodies of the passengers rotted and decomposed rapidly, leaving only souls sitting on their seats.
The milky soul closed its eyes and fell asleep. The car drove out of Block 13 and drove through the old city. The journey was short, only about 15 minutes. Not far away was a lonely bus station shrouded in fog.
The people in the car woke up at the same time, without any expression of surprise. They stood up numbly, packed their belongings and prepared to get off the car.
Wei Xiangchen was appointed as the deputy leader of the Black Owl not because of his age. He had amazing sharpness and terrifying intuition. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong. He did not dare to get out of the car, but walked to the soul of the boy with the yin-yang hair.
"Where are you going?" Wei Xiangchen asked him.
Yin Yang gave him a strange look and said, "Go home."
Wei Xiangchen: "Have you completed the main mission?"
Yin Yang: "What's the main mission?"
Wei Xiangchen: "The main quest of [Chaos Block No. 13]."
"I don't understand what you're saying," the shaggy-haired boy yawned, "You're so weird, stop bothering me, I want to get off here."
After saying that, the boy with the yin-yang hair got off the train. He left the train and took two steps before his soul disappeared and flew away.
The passengers got off the bus one after another, just like the soul of the boy with yin-yang hair. After leaving the car, they didn't walk far before their souls turned into balls of light and flew in all directions.
Wei Xiangchen grabbed another person at random: "Don't you remember the Black Tower game? Have you completed your main quest?"
"Black Tower, game?" The middle-aged man looked surprised. "I don't think Black Tower is a game."
He got out of the car and his soul disappeared like a shooting star.
Wei Xiangchen's soul seemed to be frozen. He suddenly came to his senses and grabbed another person: "What year is it? What day is it?"
"September 30th, 376th year of the Xinyuan Era," the young man he caught answered.
"Do you still remember what happened in the past 10 years?" Wei Xiangchen asked anxiously.
The young man looked bewildered: "These 10 years... Strange, why can't I remember anything that happened in these 10 years?"
Wei Xiangchen stared and unconsciously let go of his hand.
Outside the carriage, An Ning walked by with a group of guards. Among the people behind him, Wei Xiangchen saw Li Ren and Xu Tianhe, who had already died.
An Ning glanced at the carriage calmly. Most of the living people had no souls. In her eyes, the carriage was empty and there was nothing to see. She left.
Two people outside the carriage whispered:
“What a grand occasion!”
"Her behavior is nothing. I heard that His Majesty's is much more grand!"
Wei Xiangchen woke up as if from a dream, and grabbed a passenger for the third time: "Do you know the leader of Yuefan? Do you know Gao Mengtang and the blind man? Is he still alive?"
"Blind?" The soul looked bewildered. "Before September 29, 366, the Moon Banner was very powerful. But this year is 367, and 10 years have passed. I just woke up and don't know how they are now. It's strange, why can't I remember anything about the past 10 years..."
The man got out of the car muttering to himself.
September 29th was the day before the opening of the [Chaos Block No. 13] copy.
Wei Xiangchen floated in the carriage, staring blankly at the passengers leaving one by one, until he was the only one left in the carriage.
"Axe Man, let me find out!" A strange-looking man saw Wei Xiangchen standing alone stupidly and threw a flyer into the carriage.
The leaflet read: Oppose the six-class citizen system, all people are created equal
Down with His Majesty!
Open the Sakura Celebration Area permissions!
Wei Xiangchen looked up and saw that the person handing out flyers was actually the crazy old sheep who had died once in the dungeon. Behind him was a lively chess boy.
…
"Afterwards, I hid in the car, and the bus drove back to Area 13 in the dungeon," Wei Xiangchen said. "I got off the bus, but I didn't know who to look for. I was the only one who entered the dungeon, so I had to come to you."
After listening to this, Gao Mengtang was stunned for a long time.
"After returning to the dungeon, I went back to the classroom to take a look. Not everyone woke up," Wei Xiangchen said, "some people died suddenly while sleeping in the classroom.
The haggard man said they were going to correct the world line.
The time jumps from 366 to 376, and the world line directly goes to 10 years later.
So, the ultimate goal of the system is to skip the 10 years of development in the middle, push the timeline to 376, and make the world directly become what they saw in the [Chaos Block No. 13] copy?
After entering the classroom, the player's soul will cross 10 years in time, and accordingly, their appearance will also cross 10 years.
The NPC in the dungeon said that the leader of the Moon Banner was dead. In the past 10 years, countless players will die.
Those who died suddenly while falling asleep in the classroom should be the ones who were supposed to die 10 years later.
The passengers who become souls are the people who are still alive 10 years later. When they get off the bus, their souls will return to their bodies 10 years later.
"During the decade between 366 and 376, there is a small chance that the predicted new world will not arrive as expected," Wei Xiangchen said.
"This sentence has a special meaning. The system will make everything in [Chaos Block No. 13] a reality regardless of the cost. Perhaps, someone alive in 366 will hinder the official launch of the Black Tower game, and he will make the development of the world line out of the system's expectations and control, for example..."
Wei Xiangchen stared at Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang pointed at himself and said, "Me? That's true. If the system wants the world to be the same as it is in the copy, I will definitely stop it. But how does the system know what the world will be like in 10 years?"
"Prophecy," Wei Xiangchen rubbed his temples, "About 500 years ago, a man called the Marquis of Silence left a prophecy."
The person who said "Hydra is in Block 13" was the Marquis of Silence. Gao Mengtang asked, "Who is he?"
“I don’t know.” Wei Xiangchen shook his head. “It was a prophecy made more than 500 years ago. I was only in my 20s at that time. Time flies so fast… Besides, he predicted your death.”
"He said: Wise King Twelve had ups and downs, walked for too long, and finally fell before the throne."
Gao Mengtang snorted, "I don't believe it. How can I have ups and downs? I was a wise king in my previous life. In this life, I am beautiful and talented. After entering the Black Tower game, I did very well. I have never fallen."
Wei Xiangchen: "...I admire your confidence."
"Thank you." Gao Mengtang said seriously.
