Chapter 587 Next Stop (54)
It was a pleasant conversation.
Liu Jin was probably feeling cheerful and wanted to invite Qiao Xi to stay for a night. After giving it some thought, she nodded slightly and agreed.
Xu Si, the female companion who came to the venue to show off, was no longer needed.
Next, she didn’t know when Xu Si would finish his work, and Liu Jin was the user she had the right to use.
According to the rules set here, after being occupied by the previous user for a period of time, he will be summoned by another user.
Naturally, later users have priority.
Xu Si finished talking about work.
As he left the hall, he thought that Qiao Xi might have been waiting for him for a long time. After such a long time, Qiao Xi should be anxious.
Thinking so.
Xu Si also quickened his pace, but when he returned to the car, he did not see Qiao Xi.
"Where is she?"
Xu Si's face quickly turned gloomy.
The driver sitting in the driver's seat heard this and quickly lowered his head and replied: "Mr. Xu, I didn't see that lady come out of the hall."
That is to say.
Qiao Xi never left the black palace.
Xu Si suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he subconsciously took out his mobile phone, which he had ignored during the work discussion.
There is one new unread message.
It was sent by Qiao Xi.
She said that she met another person who had the right to use her in the Black Palace, and at the other party's invitation, she was arranged to stay in the guest room tonight and would stay in the Black Palace for one night.
And Xu Si saw this message.
He unconsciously clenched his phone.
Is there someone else in the Black Palace who possesses the right to use Qiao Xi? Who could it be? Countless possibilities flashed through Xu Si's mind in an instant.
Qiao Xi was left in the Black Palace overnight.
What happens is self-evident to adults.
and.
The reason why Qiao Xi went to the Black Palace was because he asked Qiao Xi to be his female companion, so Qiao Xi followed him.
In other words…
Qiao Xi, who was supposed to be his female companion, accompanied him to the Black Palace for the dinner.
But it was spotted by another user.
Moreover, this user exercised his rights and allowed Qiao Xi, who was supposed to be his female companion, to stay in the Black Palace overnight.
This is a great humiliation for men.
Even though Xu Si knew that this was the rule, he was the one who brought Qiao Xi here, and now he was intercepted halfway.
and.
When he thought about Qiao Xi being left behind and what kind of relationship she might have with the user, Xu Si felt the rage in his heart burning even more fiercely.
He brought the person here.
It should be him who takes it away.
Anyone would feel humiliated if their female companion was kidnapped in front of them by an unknown stranger.
Xu Si is no exception.
Especially since his status was not low, even if he had once brought an auction item with him, he ran into another person who also had the right to use it.
They will also consider each other's identities and give each other face.
I wouldn't do such a tasteless thing.
Even if you want that auction item, at least you have to wait until the current user has used it before the next person can reserve it.
In this way, you can give the other party enough face.
This was basically an unspoken rule. They were quite open-minded and naturally didn't mind the condition of the auction items. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to have the auction items touched by others, it was a bit uncomfortable.
but.
All they need is the special superpowers of the auction items.
Especially someone with superpowers like Qiao Xi.
As a cauldron, it was inevitable that it would be touched by other users. They needed the power of the cauldron to purify the impurities in their bodies after their superpowers advanced.
For use by a few people only.
It is indeed a right enjoyed by the strong.
Others didn’t even have the chance to use them, and the auction items that were slightly worse didn’t have such outstanding superpowers.
The effect will naturally not be too obvious.
And top-quality auction items like Qiao Xi, which can be immediately sold, are often in great demand. So when Xu Si bought her, he naturally knew that there were others who were coveting Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi will not be just his auction item.
Xu Si had known these rules for a long time and was mentally prepared.
But if someone dares to do this openly and without giving him face, it is a blatant provocation to him.
"I'll go back, you go."
Xu Si, with a gloomy face, finally thought it through, opened the car door and left.
The driver didn't have time to stop it.
There was only a 'bang' as the car door was slammed shut by the man. The driver was speechless for a moment and could only watch Xu Si's back as he walked away.
In a room of the Black Palace.
Before going to bed, Qiao Xi used his mental power to observe the situation on Liu Jin's side. After taking out the three fragments of the Metal Heart, he had returned to normal.
There is only one last fragment of the Metal Heart left.
Now.
The fragment was slowly breaking through the barrier and was attracted by the ashes, heading towards the ashes.
Qiao Xi made a rough estimate.
At this rate, this last fragment of the Metal Heart will probably be able to fuse with the Ashes.
When the time comes, she'll take it out and it'll be over.
Otherwise, even if she could catch the fragment by herself, the power contained in the fragment should not be underestimated, and it might cause a rejection reaction to Qiao Xi.
Excess power was released.
That will definitely be noticed by the three rulers of the Black Palace, and then the entire palace will become a cage to lock up Qiao Xi, making it impossible for her to escape.
so.
Although this method is slower, Liu Jin does have the magical superpower of attracting powerful forces.
The Metal Heart Fragment will choose him as its host.
After the fusion is completed.
If Qiao Xi takes it out again, he can do it without alerting anyone, which is equivalent to completing the task without any effort.
It's pretty good.
Before falling asleep, she carefully set up an invisible mental barrier in her room as a barrier. No one could get close to it until she woke up.
No wonder she's cautious.
After all, we are in a strange place, and in the Black Palace.
Not to mention the three people in power, if Fei or Dijiang suddenly appeared here, it would disrupt the order and rules of the game.
It's always good to be a little prepared in advance.
After setting up a mental barrier, Qiao Xi's consciousness finally escaped back into the mental space to rest.
And the guards of the Black Palace.
After seeing Xu Si return, they were still a little confused. One of them took the initiative to step forward, nodded slightly and asked him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, did you leave anything behind?"
Another guard also looked over.
Most of the other dignitaries had already left and returned to their respective residences in the upper reaches. Now Xu Si turned back.
Except something was missing.
Otherwise they couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"Arrange a guest room for me. I want to stay here for one night." Xu Si did not answer them directly, but gave such orders.
The two guards looked at each other, looking a little troubled.
"This... you didn't make an appointment in advance, so I'm sorry I can't comply."
They all followed the rules. Xu Si did not say that he wanted to stay here overnight before he came, nor did he ask anyone to come in advance to handle the procedures and book a room.
So, start with the facts.
It was indeed impossible to bypass these procedures and provide him with a guest room without authorization.
"You don't even have a spare room?"
When Xu Si heard this, he raised his eyebrows and his tone became a little heavier.
It was obvious that he was angry.
Seeing this, the two guards quickly lowered their heads and said, "We are also following the rules. Mr. Xu didn't make an appointment in advance, so it's really difficult to handle."
Although the tone was respectful.
But there was no sign of compromise and the two sides were deadlocked.
In the end, Xu Si knew that he was in the wrong, so the man's expression eased a little and his tone softened.
"I don't want to make your work difficult, but you all know my status. If I need a room for one night, I just need to call someone in power."
He said this.
So he really called one of the people in power who he was on good terms with in front of the two guards.
The two guards' hearts skipped a beat.
Obviously, he didn't expect the other party to be able to do such a thing, and he couldn't help but look up at Xu Si a few more times.
The call was connected quickly.
The man in power had not yet rested. When he heard Xu Si's voice, he spoke to Xu Si in a very cheerful manner.
Xu Si dealt with it.
Only after the two of them finished their polite conversation did he mention that he wanted to stay in a guest room for the night.
"Stay one night? Oh, there are plenty of rooms available. Just ask them to take you there. It's nothing."
The man in power didn't take it to heart at all.
This was indeed a small matter for him. No matter how big it was, it was not as big as what happened yesterday, when the daughter of a powerful man killed the son of another powerful man. Such a scandal was much bigger.
On the eve of the usual dinner party held by an important family.
This happened.
No matter what, this could not be exposed. The daughter and son of the rival family were both injured, one died and the other was imprisoned awaiting sentencing. Only the captain of the guards and those who witnessed the scene knew about it.
And these people.
They have all been sealed and will not be spread outside.
It was said that there was another auction item present at the time, but it was just an insignificant little thing and not worth their attention.
There is no need to keep silent even if you don't pay hush money.
I believe that the auction item also knows what to say and what not to say, otherwise if it brings about fatal disaster, it will be the auction item's own problem.
His descendants are safe and sound.
He reaped the benefits and watched the conflict between his two competitors escalate. He was so happy that he almost applauded and laughed.
Now.
When Xu Si called him, he would gladly agree even if the request was for a big favor.
Not to mention, all I'm asking now is a place to stay for one night.
This little matter was nothing to the person in power, so he readily agreed.
The phone was hung up.
After listening to the entire conversation, the two guards no longer insisted, silently made way for Xu Si to take a detour, and even took the initiative to lead the way.
They are indeed following the rules.
But the one in power is the most important, and they absolutely obey the orders of the one in power and treat Xu Si politely.
After being assigned a room.
Xu Si was not idle either. He began to use his superpowers in the black palace to look for Qiao Xi.
Users like them.
They can use the supernatural aura left behind during the auction to find the corresponding auction items that they have the right to use.
However.
When Xu Si started to use it, the power seemed to be lost in the sea.
There was no movement at all.
He just thought he made a mistake, so he didn't give up and tried again.
There was no movement.
However, compared to before, there was a slight change in reaction. It seemed that it had detected that Qiao Xi's aura was lingering somewhere.
The location where the breath remained was a little subtle.
Is it underground?
Xu Si was a little confused. Could it be that the person who summoned Qiao Xi had some special hobbies?
But think about it carefully.
This was in the Black Palace, most likely.
After all, there are many beasts in human form in the upper reaches. They all have special hobbies in private and do things that ordinary people cannot understand.
The Black Palace is the center of the upper area.
It is not surprising that there are such people.
Seeing this, Xu Si began to follow Qiao Xi's remaining breath to find him. The man underground really had unique interests and hobbies, but his superpowers were not bad.
He is not worried that the other party will conflict with him.
If they were from the Black Palace, they would at least have to give face to the people in the upper reaches center.
And just as Xu Si moved.
The audience who had been enjoying the live broadcast in the room also noticed something unusual at this time.
They are actually looking at it from a God's perspective.
In addition, the live broadcast within the station will not be stopped even if the passengers are resting.
so.
While passengers are resting, the live broadcast within the station will automatically relay other images, and they can switch between them at will.
then.
Now that the two pictures were pieced together, what they saw was such a strange scene.
Xu Si was avoiding the patrolling guards and going deeper underground.
And in a cage somewhere underground.
The one being held captive was a girl who sat in a corner with her hands on her knees, her head buried in her arms, and remained silent.
If the camera could see the girl's face.
They would find Lily staring at the dark ground with her lifeless eyes wide open, smiling foolishly, and biting the dead skin on her lips with her teeth again and again.
The sweet and fishy taste of rust had long filled her lips and teeth.
The lips were basically torn apart with no intact parts, and they looked bright red and a bit creepy.
[Hongsansan: Oh right, she had come into contact with Qiao Xi, so she still had that passenger's scent on her body.]
Watching Xu Si approaching the underground without knowing it.
Some viewers suddenly realized it at this moment.
[Bai Gan Gan: I see. What about Liu Jin? Why is he alright? Didn't he come into contact with it before?]
Moreover, the contact with the embers took place several hours ago.
It came earlier than Lily's, and the remaining scent should be stronger. Why didn't Xu Si detect it?
[Hatsunebu: Ah, because the information says that Liu Jin is a secret being living in the Black Palace, so the place where he is is completely sealed off.]
In other words, someone who needs to keep secrets.
Naturally, everything about him will be concealed and hidden by his special super powers.
Naturally, you won't be able to detect any breath.
For some reason, Xu Si did not detect Qiao Xi, but instead detected the lily with the scent of Qiao Xi remaining on it.
In this case.
Naturally, they moved closer to each other.
