When Wen Xingze was playing "Desolation" before, he once did a hidden mission with the monarch of Utopia to go to the border to conquer a group of beasts that were wreaking havoc in the area.
That is a very difficult mission in the later stages of the game, because these beasts will disguise themselves as everyone they have seen, sowing discord and making small teams suspicious of each other, so not many people can participate in the hidden mission.
Even if there were only Wen Xingze and the monarch, there was a possibility that one of them would be impersonated by an animal, so they agreed on a secret code: pinch the ID card between the index and middle fingers and shake it twice, which means "this space is potentially dangerous."
If he guessed correctly, at this moment, the person number five was sitting opposite the gambling table.
——He is most likely the monarch of a utopia!
Wen Xingze was actually a little nervous, thinking, "What does 'potential danger' mean? Aren't all the people in this casino Muse's countrymen? Could the Universal Alliance be up to something again? They seem pretty weak, don't they?"
This wasn't Wen Xingze being arrogant, but rather the Universal Alliance was incredibly weak. So weak that even half the dragons from Muse could wipe out the entire Universal Alliance. Therefore, the Universal Alliance didn't dare to fight either Muse or Utopia.
This alliance, which calls itself the "most egalitarian organization in the universe," only stirs up trouble between Muse and Utopia every day, making small moves, or sending spies or soldiers to infiltrate the two countries to inquire about irrelevant intelligence.
Wen Xingze was too lazy to bother with them when he was playing games before because there was no need.
"Compared to the Universal Alliance, taking off the mask is still more nerve-wracking," Wen Xingze thought. "I hope the goddess of victory will favor me."
“…”
In this underground casino, anything can become a bargaining chip as long as both parties agree to it.
Of course, taking off the mask can also be a bargaining chip.
Underground casinos attach great importance to protecting the privacy of their guests, but there have been precedents for this before. For example, in many gambling games held on the fourth floor today, both parties did not wear cloaks and masks to disguise themselves.
But for some reason, the gambling game in front of them felt particularly tense and exciting, and the adrenaline of almost all the onlookers soared to the extreme in an instant.
Eli tossed the coin high in the air:
"The third game begins."
The pure silver coin flickered like phosphorescence under the spotlight, and after a split second of rotation, it fell into the palm of the dealer. This process was so fast that even the dragons with the strongest dynamic vision would find it difficult to catch any trace with the naked eye.
But the people sitting at the gambling table didn't hesitate for even a moment.
Wen Xingze: "Yes."
The man across the gambling table: "Anti."
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Eli remained expressionless, his right hand lifted upwards and released, revealing the final answer to the mystery—
The light silver rose with vines is the reverse side!
The audience's breathing became more tense. They shifted their gaze to the left side of the gambling table, where a young man wearing a fox mask sat with his fingers folded, as if he was not surprised by the result.
So easy.
Wen Xingze: “…” Don’t be like that, he was actually quite surprised.
Wen Xingze's phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated - the text message sent by Guangta Travel said that Wen Xingze could also use data in this universe, but he should have turned on Do Not Disturb, and who would send him a message at this time?
Of course, he couldn't take out his phone to check it now.
Be willing to accept defeat.
Wen Xingze snapped his fingers, and a gust of wind blew through the hall, blowing his hood back. Wen Xingze put one hand on the edge of the mask and loosened the magnetic buckle with the other.
Wearing a mask for a long time is somewhat stuffy. As the mask gradually loosens, a damp and slightly cold wind gradually flows in.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the man opposite the gambling table also moved his index finger, then tilted his head slightly and casually adjusted the magnetic buckle on one side of the mask.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Audience: “???”
Number Five, the winner of this bet, almost simultaneously unfastened the magnetic clasp with Wen Xingze. As countless people watched with bated breath, they both removed their masks in the same instant.
The camera records everything.
—Wen Xingze's nose was covered in sweat, his shallow eyes reflecting the dim casino thousands of meters underground, the hazy light, the bustling room, and his subjects...
The world quickly became quiet.
Across the long gambling table and the thirty years that had passed, they looked at each other briefly and silently.
The lights went out.
“…”
Then.
The dwarf chief lit the lights again, and the people who were originally sitting on one side of the gambling table disappeared without a trace.
After three full seconds of silence and blankness.
All the silence was completely drowned out by a cacophony of noises that bordered on shrill. The entire underground casino was instantly engulfed in a burning frenzy. The vibrations and roars seemed to penetrate the soil tens of thousands of meters deep, piercing the entire planet.
Shouts loud enough to be recorded in history echoed throughout the underground casino:
"Ah ...
“…”
"Wait, where are the cubs?!"
Meanwhile, in another universe.
Located in the most prosperous area of the city center, it is quiet in the hustle and bustle. An ancient courtyard in the alley is the Feng Shui Masters Association of the capital of China.
This is a place that ordinary people cannot enter. Most of the people who come here are important figures from all walks of life, wealthy businessmen or celebrities. No matter what their identity or status, anyone who does not make an appointment in advance may be turned away here.
"When you're free someday, please be sure to introduce me to someone else," the secretary said as he opened the car door. The chairman, still unwilling to give up, couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What on earth is Master Zhang busy with?"
The richer the person, the more superstitious they are about feng shui. Ever since Xu Sichao's accident, the most trusted figure in Chinese feng shui circles has undoubtedly been Zhang Liuquan, the great-grandson of Master Jinghua. Overnight, countless people flocked to the Feng Shui Masters Association, and the association was packed with people.
Of course, for some reason, the new number one Feng Shui master was not Zhang Liuquan, but a small celebrity who had no connection with the Feng Shui world before. This was also something that the wealthy people found quite puzzling.
Most people speculated that it might be because Zhang Tianshi didn't want to be in the spotlight.
The gatekeeper replied in an enigmatic manner, "Master Zhang is working with like-minded people to turn the tide and reverse the situation."
Is he trying to exorcise demons?
The chairman was immediately filled with awe and did not dare to bother him any further. He quickly got into the car and left.
But when you walk into the stone gate, you will see a completely different scene.
The entire Feng Shui Masters Association was filled with noise:
“Almost in the top 20!!! Come on everyone!!!”
"Master Wen Tian, go for it."
"Xiao Chen, you speak English well. Could you please contact the overseas fan group? We're still a little short of points..."
There was an old man with white hair and long beard holding a compass to calculate the ratings trend of Yulong Night, and a Gu Master who controlled the Gu insects to line up ten mobile phones for ranking, while the Taoist priest in green in the middle was holding a loudspeaker to cheer everyone on.
'Together with like-minded people, we can turn the tide and change the world.'
——Commonly known as celebrity super topic ranking.
Just a few months ago, Wen Xingze's celebrity super topic had only seven sign-ins. But "Meeting the Dragon Night" premieres tonight, and thanks to the successful pre-promotion and accumulated momentum, plus Wen Xingze's numerous fan followings across various channels, he's now even competing for a spot on the Mainland Celebrity Power Rankings!
The seven fans before Wen Xingze were not professional, and the composition of Wen Xingze's fans is very complicated: fans of looks, fans of suona, fans of magic... and so on. Many people are even chasing stars for the first time.
Therefore, the Feng Shui Masters Association felt obligated to take on the responsibility of Wen Xingze's folk fan support club after contacting Jiang Ye and the professional team.
Zhang Liuquan was busy working with data when he received the call from Rockefeller, but he still picked up the phone: "Hello? Hello - Miracle Zeze Travels Around the World? Oh, it's you, you're in the capital!"
After chatting for a while, Zhang Liuquan quickly remembered this famous Spanish documentary producer. He hadn't expected Rockefeller to be so decisive. He had just called yesterday to ask about Wen Xingze and the Feng Shui master, and now he was coming to China.
Rockefeller said he came here for tourism and wanted to meet Wen Xingze by the way, hoping to further appreciate the professional charm of Feng Shui masters.
"Come to think of it, autumn in China is so cold," Rockefeller whistled in English on the other end of the line. "And it's snowing... Oh! I'm so surprised. Is this a dragon? Can everyone in China really raise a dragon?"
At first, Zhang Liuquan thought he was joking: "How can it snow now? Dragon? It must be a decorative relief on some building."
Rockfish: "But these dragons can fly, and they can breathe fire, and their wings are so huge."
The next second, Zhang Liuquan had to hold the phone farther away because he heard a long, majestic roar from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the roar of gunfire and the sound of mechanical metal colliding and turning.
Like movie sound effects.
Zhang Liuquan: “?”
Something seems to be wrong.
Zhang Liuquan politely asked Lockefis if he was in the cinema, and Lockefis turned on the video directly.
In the center of the video is a red-haired man with a confused look on his face, but he just smiles. In the background, there are endless snow-capped mountains, black and golden dragons soaring in the sky, and flames from hovercraft and machinery...
Zhang Liuquan looked out the window. The evening in the capital was unusually peaceful.
There are no snow-capped mountains, guns, or dragons.
"When I got off the plane, a man came up to me and pointed a high-tech-looking gun at me and took me through a tunnel. I thought it was some kind of special protocol... and then I came here, and there were a lot of other people here," Rockefeller explained.
Rockefeller rotates the camera.
Just as he said, in addition to Rockefeller, there were a few old men and middle-aged men in suits sitting in the snow. Zhang Liuquan took a quick look and found that many of them were famous figures in financial magazines!
Except for Rockefeller, everyone else had pale faces as if they had lost their parents, muttering: "We've been abducted by aliens", "We're all doomed this time", "Let's all die together, the world will end tomorrow".
Rockefeller: "I don't know why they're so upset."
Zhang Liuquan: “…”
He didn't know why Lockefis was so relaxed.
This is clearly a supernatural event!
How strong was Rockefeller's nerves that he could remain calm in the face of danger? Not only did he not call the police immediately, he even had the leisure to call a Feng Shui master to have a chat...!
However, to some extent, Rockefeller was lucky this time.
Zhang Liuquan: "Please wait a moment. Don't hang up yet. I'll ask for help from a professional."
Wen Xingze never said it explicitly, but Zhang Liuquan had an intuition as a Feng Shui master that Wen Xingze must be related to some more advanced technological civilization.
As the saying goes, the ultimate technology is the most rational magic.
The situation at Rockfish was truly urgent. Zhang Liuquan opened his tablet and took a screenshot of the video and sent it to Wen Xingze. He had been helping Wen Xingze collect data for his super chat recently, and the thought of chatting directly with his idol on WeChat made him a little excited.
"Master Wen Tian, I wonder if you have ever seen this dragon..."
About half a minute later, Wen Xingze replied:
"Yes."
The dialog box displayed 'The other party is speaking'. Wen Xingze seemed to be choosing his words. After a while, he finally sent the voice message. He seemed to be outside as well, and there was a whistling sound of wind in the background.
"This is my dragon."
"Mr. Rockefeller and the others are there, right? Ask him to send me his location, and I'll be there right away."
Zhang Liuquan thought that Wen Xingze's tone was as if he was going out for a meal, which was too casual. He said, "Oh, so it's your dragon, Master Wen Tianshi. That's easy... Huh???!!!"
Wait, his dragon?!
Wen Xingze didn't say how he was going to get there, and Zhang Liuquan didn't dare to ask in detail, but during this period, he maintained video communication with Rockefeller.
What happened next completely overturned Zhang Liuquan's worldview.
——At this time, the fierce "battle" in the sky came to an end. The flames spewed out by the dragons burned most of the hovercrafts black. Then the dragons landed on the ground, shrank, and fell asleep with their four claws facing the sky, holding a pile of chips.
One of the black hovercrafts landed very close to Lockefis and the others, and then the door was cut open from the inside, and several people in white coats came out cursing:
"Damn it! Didn't the Universal Alliance say they'd open the entrance to the Mustard Seed Space in Muse's underground casino? Why did they kidnap a bunch of Earthlings?"
"There's also an entrance to the underground casino... That's where these dragons came from. Who knew they were so powerful? Luckily, we have hypnotic bullets. As for the Earth, it was Dr. Xu's request. He said he wanted to use it to rule the Earth or something."
"What should we do with these Earthlings?"
"Dr. Xu, brainwash them first."
Then, the man in a white coat named "Dr. Xu" walked towards Rockefeller and the others with a syringe.
The group of big guys trembled even more and huddled together like quails - because they had no translators, they actually couldn't understand what the aliens were saying, but their intentions could be seen from their behavior!
What's this syringe for? Is it to poison them? Or mutate them into mysterious creatures? Or turn them into schoolboy detectives who never grow up?
Because of his job, Rockefeller has not only been to the Antarctic and the Arctic, but has also crossed the uninhabited area of Hoh Xil alone and even worked in the black market of the Golden Triangle for half a year. His life experience is quite rich and varied...
Even such a brave Rockefeller finally panicked at this time. Zhang Liuquan was worried for them just by watching the video.
The balding old man next to Rockefeller was once China's richest man, now living overseas. His face was completely pale, and he was just a little bit away from fainting.
"Don't worry," Dr. Xu half-knelt down, approaching the old man. The liquid in the syringe had a particularly strange color. "The mortality rate of this reagent is not high... Oh, it hasn't been clinically tested on humans yet. If anything goes wrong, you'll be unlucky."
The Cosmic Alliance has been frustrated and planning for so many years, and today it is finally going to be proud, all thanks to his scientific research achievements!
Taking advantage of the Muses' Light-Giving Festival, everyone eagerly awaited their majesty. They'd hidden one of the entrances to the mustard seed dimension from the dwarfs' eyes and ears, and placed it in an underground casino. Of course, not everyone could enter this dimension; only those chosen by them could. Their king seemed weak; they could simply drag the Muses' king in alone as a hostage...
Once you enter this mustard seed dimension, no matter how powerful you are, you can't get out. Just like those dragons, even if they destroyed all their levitation devices, they still couldn't get out and could only sleep here. But their soldiers can get out!
They want to take this opportunity to sound the clarion call for a counterattack against Muse and Utopia, and by the way, rule one or two Earths or something. No one can stop them.
The richest old man looked at the man in the white coat and suddenly said, "I know you... Aren't you the scientist Xu, Xu... Xu Wenwen?!"
Xu Wenwen pushed his glasses. He did have the face of a handsome and gentle male protagonist. “Do you know me?”
The old man trembled and spoke out his true feelings: "I know your son Xu Baijing. He has a terrible character, and you fathers don't seem to be any good people either."
Xu Wenwen: “…”
Xu Wenwen was enraged, his face darkening: "It's okay for you to scold my son, but who gave you the courage to scold me?!"
Little old man: “…………?” Did he say it the other way around?
That’s right, this scientist in a white coat is Xu Baijing’s only father who has not appeared yet. His name is Xu Wenwen.
In the novel "The Rich Koi", Xu Baijing has five adoptive fathers, and the most prestigious one among them is Xu Wenwen.
In the original novel, Xu Wenwen was given the setting of a "scientific research giant who traveled back from interstellar space". Most of the time, this setting was just to highlight his awesomeness, but now, perhaps because of the butterfly effect caused by the change in the plot, Xu Wenwen is no longer the same as before.
He had worked on the Mechanical Star for three full years, which allowed him to master the most advanced technology in the universe, and he was then recruited by the Cosmic Alliance to become the chief scientist.
Although he still had fear of both Muse and Utopia, especially Muse - because his first time traveling to the interstellar space was to the Mechanical Planet, and although he had never seen their king for various reasons, he knew how obsessive and protective the people of Muse were of their king and how terrifying their fighting power was... But now he had technology and the Cosmic Alliance as a solid backing, so ruling both universes was no problem.
He must have got a script for a male-oriented cool novel!
"Dr. Xu, hurry up," the other onlookers in white coats urged him, "The Universal Alliance is waiting."
Xu Wenwen nodded, and the needle in his hand was already against the old man's vein.
The other men in white coats weren't idle either, each pulling out syringes and instruments. From another hovercraft, a group of soldiers wearing Universal Alliance uniforms, carrying various weapons, approached them with menacing, sinister expressions, their typical cannon fodder expressions: "No one will come to save you, even if you scream your throat out."
Having said that, the Universal Alliance actually has a certain amount of capital for complacency.
This mustard seed space was entirely created by Xu Wenwen. Although a large number of them had just been destroyed by the dragons, most of the Universe Alliance's forces were lurking here:
Just like now, many ground-based hovercraft are gradually rising into the sky, an artificial sky like the night sky, various high-tech weapons and aircraft are flashing and whistling, fully armed soldiers with mechanical arms... scenes like those in science fiction Star Wars movies, all of which have given the indigenous people of the earth great shock and despair.
"No, even if Master Wen Tian arrives, he won't be able to deal with these guys... This is too terrifying..."
"Am I dreaming?! Is the world really going to end??"
"Lao Zhang, quickly call Master Wen Tian and tell him to run. In this situation, there's no time to worry about other people. As many people as possible can run!"
“Beep—”
The phone rang twice and then was picked up.
"Hey, Master Wen," Zhang Liuquan said, his palms full of sweat. Although he felt very sorry for Lockefiss, no matter how powerful Wen Xingze was, it would be a waste for ordinary people to go there. "You'd better not go there!"
Wen Xingze: "Ah? But I'm already here."
Zhang Liuquan was sweating profusely from anxiety: "It's too dangerous, the situation over there is really-"
Boom!
A sudden, loud noise not far away brought Zhang Liuquan to a halt. Everyone, including Xu Wenwen, looked in the direction of the sound. In the sky, a massive black snake darted through the snow-capped mountains and mist, standing out from the crowd of high-tech mechas.
The black snake was clearly swimming in the air, but it made the sky look like a silent, ink-stained deep sea. A tall young man stood on the forehead of the black snake.
He held a fox mask in his left hand, the bright red Seagod Pearl on his wrist moved without wind, and with his right hand he tapped the cold white umbrella ribs, tilting the brim of the umbrella towards the black snake.
Like a simple stroke in a freehand painting, it is far better than countless thick inks and colors.
“…”
“Oh my god…”
It's truly thrilling.
Everyone was stunned by the scene they saw at that moment.
Many of the natives sitting on the snow were stunned, and tremblingly reached for their phones to take pictures of this scene that they would hardly see again in their lifetime.
More thrilling things are yet to come.
——The black snake flew into the most proud fleet of the Space Alliance, which was made of high-performance metal. Unlike the various high-tech and cool combat methods of the mechas, the fighting method of this black snake was very simple and crude: open its mouth, chew, chew, and spit out.
Three seconds later, the high-tech hovercrafts turned into a pile of scrap metal, piled on the ground together with the hovercrafts that had just been blasted into slag by the dragons' fire.
It took only five or six minutes for the black snake to fly from the horizon to the front, chewing as it went. The fully armed fleet was quickly defeated, and the high-tech space fortress that Xu Wenwen was proud of and that he and the Cosmic Alliance had put all their efforts into building was quickly turned into a garbage dump.
Everyone: “…”
Lockefiss and the big guys looked up at him blankly.
The black snake quickly flew closer. Xu Wenwen, who had witnessed everything, was so angry that his whole body twisted. "How is this possible? Just a human can defeat the army that the Universal Alliance is so proud of...!!! Who are you? Isn't this a black snake that only the king of the Muse Empire can command?!"
The black snake made a snapping sound and leaned its head against the snow obediently, just enough to crush the loudly barking Xu Wenwen into the snow, making him unable to move.
Xu Wenwen: “???????”
When I got closer, I found that Wen Xingze was still holding two limp little dragons - the two that had just been spewing fire in the sky. Because the hypnotic bullet had shrunk, the little dragons were now curled up in Wen Xingze's arms and sleeping soundly, burping from time to time.
Wen Xingze handed the little dragons to Dahei's care, then folded his umbrella and jumped down from the black snake's head.
He looked around at the garbage dump-like scene around him, and saw Rockfish and the old men who had just escaped the disaster in the snow, looking confused. Wen Xingze looked a little surprised:
"Hey, how did it become like this?" He said this, then felt his tone was a bit too stiff. After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's New Year's Day."
Everyone: “…………”
We're already here, it's Chinese New Year, and everyone is dead, and the child is still young??!
Wen Xingze had just been in the casino on the third floor underground. As soon as he took off his mask, he felt a black screen before his eyes, and then he came to this mustard seed space. Of course, he was originally at the other end of this space, and he came here to find Lockefis and the others after receiving a call from Zhang Liuquan.
Obviously this was a trick played by the Universal Alliance... Wen Xingze was still a little angry when talking about this. Before he could see the face of the No. 5 opposite him clearly, he was inexplicably pulled away!
However, it was quite a surprise to see Xu Wenwen here. I didn't expect that the star system set for Xu Wenwen in "The Rich Koi" was the same as his star system.
If he remembered correctly, Xu Wenwen said in the original book that he traveled to the most advanced scientific research base in the interstellar space or somewhere, secretly learned the most advanced technology there, and then returned to Earth to act tyrannically - if these two interstellar spaces are the same interstellar space, then the "most advanced scientific research base" would be the mechanical planet E19, right?
Wen Xingze remembered that the robot parents had once recruited a human apprentice. It wasn't really an apprentice, but more like a wage earner. Later, that wage earner was kicked out because he was too incompetent...
Wen Xingze untied Griffith and the others, and the old man who had just escaped from Xu Wenwen was extremely grateful: "Young man, thank you so much for saving me. I'm the chairman of Maolin Group. When I return to Earth, I will definitely reward you handsomely... But you shouldn't be short of money either, how about I take you in as my godson?"
Wen Xingze: "??? It's really okay, it's just a piece of cake!"
Why does this conversation give me a sense of "I, Qin Shi Huang, am sending money?"
Lockefis touched his chest and said with feeling: "The profession of Feng Shui master is indeed profound and extensive."
At this moment, Xu Wenwen, who had been pressed into the snow, suddenly struggled to poke his head out and stared at Wen Xingze. "Don't relax too soon, this mustard seed space was created by me. I am the creator here! ... You, you are the one who caused Bai Jing to fall apart? How dare you underestimate me? I will make you pay the price!"
What he said was actually quite harsh, but only his red head was exposed, which made him look a little bit... uh, funny.
Wen Xingze didn't know what to say, so he just applauded him.
Xu Wenwen: “…” This is too much!
However, what Xu Wenwen said was indeed true, and Wen Xingze did not underestimate the enemy.
He'd tried it when he first arrived, but couldn't find a way out of this mustard seed dimension. The dragons were no different. It seemed Reich and Astor were also suddenly pulled into this dimension while waiting in line on the fourth floor of the casino. Despite wreaking havoc, they still couldn't get out.
Speaking of this matter, the robot parents are actually the most professional. He has been here for almost half an hour, and the robot parents should be here soon.
"I'm in a hurry. I have to spend the holiday with my family tonight." Wen Xingze squatted next to Xu Wenwen's head. Dahei hissed in cooperation. "Can you let us out first?"
Xu Wenwen: "Now you know how powerful I am, you're dreaming! Beg me!"
"Forget it then." Wen Xingze stood up, "Dahei..."
The big black snake slammed its head down again.
Xu Wenwen: “???”
As a genius scientist, Xu Wenwen had never experienced such a frustrating moment. Add to that the incident with Xu Baijing, and new grudges and old hatreds piled up. Xu Wenwen was completely furious and his face was cruel: "Just wait for me - I will fight you!!"
Wen Xingze thought Xu Wenwen was just bluffing, but he didn't expect that he actually had some skills.
No one knew what Xu Wenwen did, but the weather in the entire mustard seed space suddenly changed. A hurricane mixed with broken ice suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the snow. The solid snow suddenly broke apart, and the original snowfield glacier turned into a vast ocean in the blink of an eye.
Xu Wenwen didn't even care about the remnants of the Universe Alliance's army. He wanted to destroy this mustard seed space and fight to the death with them!
"ah--"
The little old men exclaimed.
The hurricane roared, and the ice surface where Wen Xingze and the others stood swayed and rolled violently in the center of the ocean. The waves quickly swallowed up the other scientists, soldiers, and the wreckage of the hovercraft, and the tide under their feet gathered to form a central vortex...
Fortunately, Dahei reacted quickly. Even with two little dragon cubs on his forehead, he was able to accurately grab the corner of Wen Xingze's clothes with a roar. Wen Xingze reached out to pull the old, weak and sick people on the ground, and with the help of Griffith, he quickly transferred everyone to the black snake's back.
"Everyone hold on tight, don't fall!"
Wen Xingze himself also has a mustard seed space, so he knows that the mustard seed space is the same as the real world, and getting injured in the mustard seed space is exactly the same as getting injured outside.
It’s a pity that the mustard seed space cannot be opened in the mustard seed space, otherwise the current dilemma would be solved.
This situation was quite tricky. Dahei was a sea snake, so of course he wasn't afraid of the seawater, but these surging "waves" below, darker than ink, were probably not just seawater, so it was best not to touch them.
In the center of the vortex, a sea monster gradually emerged, with Xu Wenwen standing on it. The sea monster's teeth were as sharp as blades, its bloody mouth wide open, and its eight tentacles stretched out towards Dahei like lightning in an instant!
"Dahei, run!"
Wen Xingze untied the Sea God Pearl, and the bright red mermaid pearls scattered in the light, bursting out with an extremely dazzling light, forming an upward column of light. Dahei climbed up along the column of light and finally shook off the tentacles that were following closely.
The blood clan's white flames enveloped them, and one of the tentacles suddenly turned black and curled up as if it was burned, but the rest of the tentacles still followed them.
"What should we do?" Zhang Liuquan's video feed was still going on. A group of Feng Shui masters gathered in front of the camera, frantically praying and performing rituals for him. "Master Wen Tian, we've called the police. Xu Wenwen will be arrested the moment he returns to this world..."
But the key point now is how Wen Xingze and the others are going to leave this space.
Wen Xingze was also very anxious. He looked at the two little dragon cubs, Leiqi and Yaster, who were sleeping soundly, and touched their little heads.
Lockefiss began to cross himself again and said to Wen Xingze in broken Chinese: "Thank you, my dear Chinese friend Wen Xingze. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
Wen Xingze: “???”
"Oh!" Rockefeller took out a small notebook of common Chinese phrases and corrected it, "It's 'Even if I become a ghost in my next life, I will never forget your kindness.'"
Wen Xingze: "...It hasn't come to that yet, don't say such unlucky words!"
Although the situation wasn't over yet, it was certainly dire, and Dahei's strength was limited. Wen Xingze, looking at the turbulent tide and the sea monster's frantic tentacles dancing below, felt a surge of anxiety for the first time in his life.
Perhaps other parents will stray into this space, and robot parents might be arriving soon. But just like Reiqi and Aster, no matter how powerful they are, they can't escape. Wen Xingze is the king of this country, and he must protect his parents.
Whether in the game or in reality, even though he is just a fragile ordinary human being now, he must protect them.
“…”
In those brief few seconds, Wen Xingze suddenly thought of Chi Yan.
If only Teacher Chi were here. Wen Xingze thought, even if he did nothing, just spoke to him in the tone of a homeroom teacher like before, accompanied him to work on the streets of Spain in a doll costume, and put Coke on his head...
Wen Xingze reached into his pocket and found his earphones. Chi Yan had given them to him to celebrate the start of filming on Yulong Night. Inside the box were patterns of wind and planets.
Wen Xingze's phone was actually running out of battery, but for some reason, he reached out and put on the earphones. Unlike before, this time, as soon as he put on the earphones, a mechanical voice rang in his ears:
"Ding, Nebula is successfully worn, triggering the exclusive buff 'Pointing to the Stars'!"
Wen Xingze: “?”
Did this mean the call was connected? Wen Xingze asked tentatively, "Hello? ... Teacher Chi? Actually, there's nothing special. I just wanted to ask where you are..."
There was no answer, but Wen Xingze seemed to hear a very slight noise, similar to the sound of electric current and wind.
The dark waves roared and rolled, the strong wind made people's ears ring, and above the sea monster's head, Xu Wenwen began to laugh wildly: "You regret it now, right? It's too late to regret it!"
Xu Wenwen suddenly couldn't continue speaking. Even he heard the clear sound in the storm.
There was a clang sound, which was the sound of a long sword being drawn from its sheath.
Time seemed to have paused at that moment. Lockefiss and the old men slowly opened their eyes again: a cold light flashed, so fast and sharp that only a faint afterimage was left.
The sea monster's tentacles swooped down towards the source of the sound, but were instantly severed. The monster, also torn into pieces, fell backwards into the sea with its eyes wide open, sinking in the dark, thick vortex...
The sky suddenly brightened.
The figure of this person was reflected in Wen Xingze's retina.
He was a man in a standard military uniform. This time, he hadn't covered his eyes, his pale silver pupils a striking sight. Fresh from a slaughter, not a drop of blood stained his body. He casually held his longsword in one hand, his back against the surging waves and the embers of fallen Mars.
A blind officer who was forced to land in a desolate starport thirty years ago.
The monarch of utopia.
Guest number five in the underground casino.
Best Actor.
All the gears finally fit together precisely at this moment.
“…”
The roaring and boiling waves had faded away without anyone noticing, carrying away the sound of electricity, wind, and all the noise.
Finally, a voice came from Wen Xingze's headphones again.
Reality and the voice in the headphones slowly overlapped over the course of a few seconds. Chi Yan's voice was soft, and seemed to carry a faint smile. It sounded different from usual, with a sense of laziness and tenderness.
"Wen Xingze, look up."
He said.
