Chapter 540 Sandro
Zhong Yi called Chu Ge all night until the other party's phone was turned off. He had no choice but to send a WeChat message cursing, and it was already dawn.
I thought I couldn't contact Chu Ge anymore, and was about to call Chu Jiangliu back to discuss a few more words, but Chu Ge's WeChat message came back at this time: "Got it, I'll be right there."
Come on...
This is Los Angeles. You just woke up, right? Have you applied for a visa? Even if you have, I don't know when you can arrive. Can you teleport across the Pacific Ocean?
Thinking about how Chu Ge had to struggle to get on the plane to go to the Magic City, Zhong Yi doubted whether this guy could become the "god" his father talked about after only half a year. Damn, thinking about the Magic City and his poor old Haval, Zhong Yi's heart was bleeding.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come." Zhong Yi replied, and after thinking for a while, he sent a message to Chu Jiangliu: "Your son is just coming now, is it in time for you to make arrangements?"
Chu Jiangliu: "Oh, I see."
Zhong Yi: "...Please, I am the one who is going to enter the tiger's den, is it appropriate for you to play tricks on me?"
Chu Jiangliu said: "I can only say that as long as you lure Sandro out, leave the rest to me. But to be honest, no one can guarantee your safety in that situation. If you refuse to go, I won't blame you."
Zhong Yi laughed: "Go, why not? I want to go by myself, not to help you."
Chu Jiangliu was silent for a while: "Why are you fighting so hard?"
"I have my own things to do. I have a strong feeling that this is the time to reveal the truth." Zhong Yi put away his phone and left leisurely.
Chu Jiangliu retracted the line and frowned slightly.
Zhong Yi has always been a "non-staff member" who does not follow official instructions and acts on his own. Everyone knows that he has been using his own way to explore the secret of the revival of spiritual energy, which is said to be related to the death of his former lover.
No one can investigate this past event... Outsiders have no way of knowing what exactly happened. Chu Jiangliu can only infer from the age of Dr. Zheng in Magic City that the time was roughly during the Anti-Japanese War - Zhong Yi's actual age should not be as old as others imagine. According to Chu Jiangliu's inference, the death of Zhong Yi's lover should be related to his acquisition of superpowers, which is why Zhong Yi has been investigating the source of his superpowers.
In other words, Zhong Yi acquired the ability to live forever during the Anti-Japanese War. If he was in his twenties at that time, he would only be around 110 or 20 years old now. He is called an immortal, but compared to Qiuqiu... well...
Because of this, when everyone regarded the Four Symbols as the source of spiritual energy, Zhong Yi never expressed his opinion and continued to investigate his own. Facts have proved that the Four Symbols are probably not the source, but at most the reason for the massive explosion of spiritual energy in recent years. There must have been other reasons before that, and Chu Ge was not even born at that time, so it has nothing to do with this.
Of course, as we all know, supernatural powers and even immortal cultivation may have existed in ancient times, but there may not be any roots to speak of. Could it be traced back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Zhuanxu's connection with the sky and the earth? Not really, and it doesn't make sense... So Zhong Yi may not be looking for any roots, he has his goal.
Zhong Yi called Karl again and arranged a time and place.
The location was in the suburbs, a very common entertainment company in Los Angeles. Karl was standing outside the door waiting, and when he saw Zhong Yi getting out of the taxi, he smiled and opened his arms to hug him: "I knew you would come."
Zhong Yi followed him inside with a half-smile: "Why are you so sure?"
"Your exploration of your ability to live forever has become an obsession." Carl smiled slightly: "I hope you can get the answer from Sandro."
Zhong Yi looked at the employees coming and going in the entertainment company and suddenly laughed: "No wonder Robin and others were all musicians in the past. Your roots are in the entertainment company."
"Of course." Karl said, "We can also cooperate with the Chutian Wuji game that you are here to promote and operate. Our company's channels are very powerful."
"I believe it." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't care about this stall. Let's talk about it later."
Carl shrugged and said nothing.
"Ding", the elevator door opened, and the two walked in, with a fragrant breeze blowing behind them. A big blond, blue-eyed, curly-haired foreign girl hurried in. When she saw Karl standing inside, she quickly revealed a charming smile: "Mr. Carter... What a coincidence..."
Karl blinked at Zhong Yi: "Do you know him?"
Zhong Yi said: "Well, she is a very famous little queen. It is said that she is a rare pure queen in your country."
Karl nodded to the woman, who understood and moved closer to Zhong Yi: "What's your name, sir? Your English is very standard..."
"It's not quite standard actually." Feeling the warmth coming from his body, Zhong Yi's expression didn't change at all, and he said calmly: "I may have confused the words coquettish and pure."
The woman didn't mind at all, instead she moved closer, her red lips almost touching his face: "Don't men like girls who appear pure on the outside but are coquettish on the inside..."
Zhong Yi said calmly: "Perhaps Chu Ge will have more in common with you."
Without seeing how he moved, the woman was inexplicably pushed several feet away and leaned against the wall of the elevator. She was still leaning against the man, which looked very funny.
Karl sighed: “So, what’s the point of living a long life for someone like you?”
Zhong Yi smiled slightly: "I think so too."
The elevator stopped at the middle floor, and the woman ran out in a panic, muttering, "Psycho."
The door closed again, and Zhong Yi sighed: "I'm your blood slave and I don't even know it, poor woman."
Karl said: "She knows."
"Um?"
"Isn't this a gift of eternal life for her? Isn't her famous baby face due to this? Otherwise, how could she be so popular? For this, she is willing to be my dog, let alone my blood slave?"
Zhong Yi nodded: "Not bad. It seems that you are really suitable for this society."
Carl smiled and said, "Of course. This society is tailor-made for people like you and me, but you just don't want to open up."
“It’s hard to say who is enlightened…” Zhong Yi muttered to himself, and suddenly laughed, “Hey, I saw a joke, so I’d like to ask you about it.”
Kalqi asked, "What joke?"
"Would you collect their sanitary napkins and use them as tea bags?"
"……roll."
The elevator finally reached the top floor.
The corridor was empty and the doors of several offices were closed. At the end of the corridor was the president's office, whose door was open.
Carl said, "Sandro is waiting for you, so I won't go in."
Zhong Yi nodded, ignored him, and slowly walked towards the brightly lit gate.
The leather shoes made a clattering sound as they walked in the corridor. The surroundings were silent, but the footsteps echoed. Just a moment ago, it was an extremely lively entertainment company, with voices everywhere. Just taking an elevator up and down gave people a feeling of being in a gloomy ghost prison, which could not be offset by the bright lights.
Especially when you know exactly what you're about to see.
Zhong Yi looked at the smooth tiled walls on both sides. Every tile reflected his shadow strangely, like an army of the undead.
He smiled and walked into the president's office without changing his expression.
Behind the huge boss desk in front of him, sat a crystal skeleton with his hands crossed on the table, looking at Zhong Yi's arrival with his big eyes.
That posture is very much like that of an intellectual and elegant woman.
Zhong Yi could even imagine its beautiful appearance when it was alive.
Of course this is not Sandro, just one of his thousands of skeletons.
"Carl said that you are looking for the secret of immortality." The skeleton spoke, but unfortunately it was not a moving female voice, but a sharp and piercing sound of bones rubbing against each other.
"What he said is not quite accurate. I have already achieved immortality, so there is no need to look for the secret of immortality." Zhong Yi said calmly: "The reason I am looking for you is to find the secret of death."
The skeleton seemed to be laughing: "You want to die?"
"To know life, one must also know death. This is the exploration of life, nothing more." Zhong Yi said: "In this whole world, perhaps you are the only one who can best communicate with death."
The skeleton nodded. "So...what can you offer in exchange? Join me?"
Zhong Yi laughed: "Do you think I look like an idiot who came all the way here to be a dog?"
The skeleton said calmly, "So what are your conditions?"
Zhong Yi stared at it for a long while, then slowly said, "If you can restore your flesh and blood and show it to me, maybe I can consider it."
