Chapter 200 Chapter 146 Chess Game Part 2
The day after tomorrow morning, Puis arrived as promised.
Bomo knew that what Liuhua Chenghai told him must not be known to others, so he didn't dare to mention it in the terminal.
He was afraid that he had forgotten some key information, so he had been recalling it constantly in his mind for the past two days, and to outsiders he seemed somewhat crazy.
He didn't feel relieved until he told Puis everything he knew.
"Mrs. Cheng Hai asked me if I had any other questions, but I didn't know what to ask."
Pomo was not as depressed as before. This was something he was not good at, but there was no need to panic about it.
After all, Esther was by his side.
...It would be nice if A-lan was here too.
"I made a rough guess before coming here, and it's consistent with what Ms. Chenghai said." Although the Pu family has moved far away from the political center of Saint Snow, they are not completely ignorant of the affairs of the royal family.
But it is definitely not as comprehensive as Liuhua Chenghai Zhixiao's, the information she provides is very useful.
"I've heard that the eldest prince and the second prince don't get along, but they are more confrontational than I thought."
Brick probably thinks of his two sons as himself and Gus when they were children, and thinks that even though their relationship is bad now, they will reconcile sooner or later.
It was nothing but wishful thinking. He had indulged his two sons' ambitions, and they would get their comeuppance sooner or later.
"But your suggestion is very good. We can indeed try to contact the eldest prince through some roundabout ways. As long as it is something that is disadvantageous to the second prince, he should not mind getting involved."
Although I don’t know if it was Pomo’s sudden inspiration, it is indeed a good idea.
Puys certainly would not be stingy with his praise for his good friend.
Bo Mo chuckled and said that as long as he didn't cause any trouble, he would be successful.
"Mrs. Chenghai will come again this afternoon at the St. Snow Hotel. You should go and have some rest."
After taking care of the household chores, Puis rushed over here and had no time to rest properly. He took this opportunity to wash up properly.
Puis did not refuse, and of course he had to show enough respect to Ms. Chenghai.
——
The private room of the St. Snow Hotel once again welcomed its distinguished guests.
Of course, Pomo and Puis couldn't let Liuhua Chenghai wait for them, so they came earlier and tried the delicious food of the St. Snow Hotel.
"You're here so early? Have you eaten?"
Liuhua Chenghai arrived early on purpose, but when he saw the two of them, it seemed as if they had arrived long ago.
They both stood up and bowed to her.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Cheng Hai."
The name Puis pleased Liuhua Chenghai even more, and her brilliant smile seemed to illuminate the entire environment.
"Good afternoon, it's a pleasure to see you again~"
This attitude really alleviated a lot of the worries and tension that Puys had before coming.
Puisi did not have the habit of keeping a distance and being vigilant regardless of the stance, whether good or bad, but in his opinion, Ms. Chenghai was someone he had only met once at the Ni Family Manor, and he and Bomo still did not understand Liuhua Chenghai's stance, let alone why she was willing to provide help.
In the supernatural world, things that happen out of nowhere are often dangerous and deadly.
But Liuhua Chenghai was not just helping them, she had always had a good reputation and even took in Miss Ni without any grudges - now she was Liuhua Chenghai's apprentice maid and had changed back to her original name.
Daozhuan, an ordinary, simple name that belongs to her alone, rather than a name that is branded by others.
When thinking of the Ni family, I have to mention the recent events related to the Church of Light.
The Ni family was completely overthrown. Under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, everything that the Ni family had done for generations was made public. Whether it was the persecution of family members or the control of the Church of Illuminati, its reputation among the people plummeted.
Especially the Church of Light, even the Pope is dead, it is simply a mess.
Ordinary believers began to question their faith, and some even attacked the statues of Archangel Michaela in the churches of light, something that was simply unthinkable in the past.
The royal family headed by His Majesty Brian were happy to see this happen. Although the Church of Light was still a skinny camel that was bigger than a horse, it no longer had the ability to compete with the royal family and now had become a vassal of the royal family.
If it weren't for Gus, Brick might have been happier.
"Okay, time is running out. I estimate that the palace will be under martial law in a while, so it will be difficult for me to get out." Liuhua Chenghai went straight to the point. They were not playing a game, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
Puis originally wanted to express his gratitude again to see if he could hint at Ryuka Shokai's attitude.
He was still very interested in the reasons why Ms. Chenghai was willing to help.
——
We have previously discussed the situation in the royal court. Now let’s get straight to the point, regarding Prince Guts’ resurrection attempt.
"The resurrection of Guts was in charge of Atash Brenya, whom I mentioned to Pomo before. The Second Prince had a good relationship with Prince Guts when he was young, so the resurrection plan also received the Second Prince's full support."
The analysis of the court situation made the day before yesterday came in handy now, so neither Pomeranian nor Puis was completely confused.
"Correspondingly, the eldest prince dislikes Prince Guts because he was born from a woman who was not even his mistress, and Guts is a staunch supporter of the 'bloodline theory', so the eldest prince has been trying to stop them."
The eldest prince's statement is naturally important and, to a certain extent, represents the intentions of His Majesty Brick.
One plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop, but Brick is ultimately "held hostage" by his past and public opinion, and acquiesces to the resurrection operation.
"It only happens once every ten years. Rather than letting some unknown entity come out, it's better to have an entity that is beneficial to the royal family come back. That's what Brick thought."
In private, Liuhua Chenghai was too lazy to even call him "Your Majesty".
What is the difference between such behavior and letting a tiger return to the mountains? Some ministers like to use "womanly kindness" to satirize her and other women, so what about Brick?
Perhaps the monarch is blinded by too many things and his mind is not necessarily clear. Arrogance may occupy most of his rationality.
It doesn't matter. Liuhua Chenghai has never thought about the situation where everyone will prosper together and suffer together.
"Some of my sources told me that in order to avoid the last situation where you, Puyis, were resurrected, Atash and his followers found a special person with special abilities who is said to be able to allow the souls of the living to enter the other side. This is your only chance."
Atash is an old fox. Liuhua Chenghai told his people that they would rather find out nothing than to expose nothing. It was with great difficulty that they finally found out this important information.
"It is a limited-time portal through which the souls of the living can enter the end of the other side, but this also means that your blank bodies will remain in reality. If your body dies during this period, your soul will remain in the end of the other side forever."
The psychics and the portal are under the control of the Second Prince and Atash, which is indeed not an easy task.
"I can help you get into the palace, and I also have a supernatural being who can help your souls leave your bodies. The problem is that the resurrected Ni Lan will walk out of that portal, and he may not be able to leave safely alone, so you must seek the help of the eldest prince. The best scenario is to take control of the portal."
Doing this in the palace is actually challenging the authority of His Majesty Brian. If it were the second prince, he would definitely not agree, but the eldest prince is different.
At this time, Pomo raised his hand.
"I have a question."
Liuhua Chenghai nodded, "You go ahead."
At first, when Puis was resurrected, he was resurrected directly in his own "corpse", but Ni Lan in The End of the Other Shore had been dead for ten years. As the criminal who assassinated Prince Gus at that time, his body was estimated to have been chopped into pieces and thrown into a mass grave, or even rotted away to leave only a skeleton.
It would be a dead end for Ni Lan to be resurrected from such a body, but according to what Ms. Cheng Hai just said, he would be resurrected from the soul portal opened by that special psychic. What's going on?
"Good question." This was also what Liuhua Chenghai was confused about at the beginning, but now she has figured it out. "There is no shortage of people with the power of resurrection in the supernatural world, but these are all conditional without exception. Either the body needs to be intact, or the soul needs to still exist in the human world. The resurrection opportunity once every ten years obtained from the end of the other side is the only way to ignore any conditions and send people back to the human world."
The body is damaged? The other side can ignore the age of death and create a strong body out of nothing.
Soul destroyed? At the end of the other side, you can gather soul fragments and repair all damage.
If you want to be resurrected, you just need to go through the door of absolute chance of resurrection at the end of the other side. You don’t need to consider anything else, just leave it to the end of the other side.
"However, if the body is intact, this is the most convenient method, so Puis was resurrected directly in his own body. When Ni Lan assassinated Guts, he deliberately crushed Guts' heart and hid Guts' soul through some special means. He considered it very comprehensively, leaving Guts with no chance of resurrection except at the end of the other side."
The two young men's expressions became serious again.
Puis's hand unconsciously rested in front of his left chest, as if he was remembering the day when Ni Lan 'attacked' him.
Ni Lan accurately took away both the curse cast by Diane and his life. At that time, he could not understand the emotions in the boy's eyes, but now he thought that they were full of pain and guilt.
Faced with the enemy who killed his best friend and wanted to drag the entire world into the abyss, Ni Lan showed no mercy and killed him with one blow, leaving him no room for maneuver.
"So Ni Lan will be created into a brand new body and resurrected from the location closest to the end of the other side. The opened portal is the closest location. Whether Guts or Ni Lan is resurrected, they will appear at that location."
That’s about it, Liuhua Chenghai will continue to be a bad guy.
She sighed and was not very happy to say this...
"This is dangerous. The worst-case scenario is that Guts is resurrected and you fail to return. At that time, I will take action and do my best to kill Guts."
She didn't continue, but everyone knew what the result would be.
