Chapter 589 Next Stop (56)
The aftermath of the superpower clash quickly alerted the patrolling guards, who hurried to the source of the power and bumped into the guards on duty who had been urgently called.
Two waves of guards rushed to the scene together.
The long silent night in the Black Palace was broken.
Lily realized something was wrong and wanted to take the opportunity to leave. However, the female executive kept a close eye on her and, upon realizing her intention, pressed on.
The guards who came around soon discovered it.
The one who suddenly appeared here and attacked the senior management was actually Miss Lily who was locked up awaiting trial!
Her father—that adult.
He tried his best to mediate with the other two, hoping to secure Miss Lily's release. After all, she was their only child. Although the man who lost Master Roland had many illegitimate children, he was still quite concerned about losing his only known son.
Even if he has many illegitimate children in private.
But Roland is the only one in the open, so he needs to get an explanation.
Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of those in power.
Miss Lily's father was originally mediating with the other two, but who would have thought that Miss Lily here somehow escaped from the dungeon!
[Lying down: Assisted by a ‘god’ teammate]
[Shui Guan Guan: A very real ‘god’ teammate, hehe, it makes me laugh]
The audience in the live broadcast room enjoyed watching the fun.
They looked at the group of guards rushing in, and quickly took up their positions and rushed over to control the girl who was screaming hysterically with a crazy look on her face.
Then.
The familiar scene happened again, just like last time, as if history was repeating itself before our eyes.
The guards who rushed up were well-trained.
They quickly subdued Lily and expertly placed handcuffs on her, restricting her superpowers. Their movements were smooth and flowing, and this time, they didn't hold back.
Originally, they also thought that Lily was the offspring of that adult.
However.
Now the other party has escaped and wants to commit another murder by targeting a female senior executive.
The circumstances are extremely serious and they must be kept under control.
A group of people left in a mighty procession.
At the same time, another group of guards who had been separated to check the dungeon also came back to report to the captain.
When the captain heard it.
Xu Si's body was in the dungeon that Lily had stayed in. The captain of the guards also fell silent. This was far beyond his ability.
It's not something he can decide and solve alone.
And tonight.
With such a big mess happening, basically anyone who didn't set up a barrier could sense the aftermath of the battle outside.
Everything that should be done has been done.
Most of the people temporarily staying in the Black Palace were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and none of them were easy to mess with. If rumors that were detrimental to the Black Palace spread among them,
Then what will be shaken is the foundation of the three people in power.
Originally, the conflict was just because of Lily and Roland, but now that Lily has offended high-ranking officials, the scope has expanded further.
If someone is tracking you down.
If those high-ranking officials united in rebellion, someone in power would likely have to give up their position. Even the most powerful individual could not withstand the taunts of their colleagues and the collective strike of their subordinates.
therefore.
When Lily's father received the news in the middle of the night, he was furious, while the other two people in power smiled knowingly.
They knew that the opportunity for a changing era had come.
This long night is destined to be restless.
Everyone who heard the noise came out and stopped in the corridor to watch how the situation developed, waiting for those in power to give a reasonable explanation.
Undercurrents are surging on all sides.
He had set up a barrier in his room, so he wasn't disturbed by the outside world and was isolated from the aftermath of the battle.
Then you can fall asleep peacefully.
Oblivious to what was happening outside.
But when these people wake up in the morning, they will probably notice the changes outside.
Dawn is not far away.
To most people, the unidentified Lily was regarded as a terrorist force that attacked the Black Palace and was taken away by the guards of the Black Palace.
And the female executive who was attacked.
Even after the people were taken away, he still couldn't hide his anger and shouted questions at the guards who stayed behind to clean up the mess left by the battle.
The guards who remained on the scene suffered terribly.
He could only endure the anger of this female executive again and again, and then bow his head and apologize.
This noisy movement continued until morning.
Those who had woken up in the aftermath of the battle hadn't slept since the conflict ended. They were waiting for the authorities to come forward and explain why the Black Palace, which was supposedly heavily guarded, had been attacked.
So many powerful people gathered here.
It is arguably the most powerful institution, and it controls divine punishment.
Daring to act so rashly in the Black Palace, and even succeeding in a sneak attack, was challenging the majesty of the Heavenly Punishment and trampling on the faces of all the powerful.
The black palace symbolizes the supreme existence.
However, now there are people who dare to act recklessly.
Regardless, this was unbearable for the nobles. After waiting for most of the night without any news, they were naturally filled with anger.
Breakfast here is still served as normal.
It's like nothing happened.
The dignitaries ate the breakfast served to them, but they were all distracted. Some of them had other plans for the day, but being attacked in the Black Palace was no small matter.
anyway.
When something like this happens at the center's headquarters, the person in power needs to come forward to explain.
therefore.
When Qiao Xi woke up, got up, washed up, opened the door and took back her breakfast, she keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the black palace.
I feel inexplicably depressed.
Did something happen outside?
She took her breakfast back to her room and enjoyed it, planning to go outside to find Liu Jin to ask about the situation later.
And in the live broadcast room.
The audience was amazed as they watched her eat breakfast with gusto, not being affected at all.
[Red Umbrella: This girl is only happy now]
[Bai Gan Gan: Yeah, if she knew Xu Si had… Oh my, the man who had made all the difference in her life was gone in an instant, and was brutally murdered. No matter how I think about it, I feel creepy, it’s terrifying.]
[Lying flat: You can just say creepy]
[Maishanshan: Indeed, it’s terrifying just thinking about it. She can only remain calm now. If she saw that scene…tsk tsk]
After all, they are used to it.
In such sites, whether it is welfare or special products, there are all kinds of them.
I've seen them all, big and small, ugly and beautiful.
Some scenes are thrilling and exciting, and the audience has long been trained to have strong psychological qualities and can accept them perfectly.
but.
Now there is only Qiao Xi at this site. If she saw Xu Si in that state, she would probably scream in fright.
The audience who have been following the live broadcast also know this.
yesterday.
After the guards discovered the body, they immediately reported it to those in power.
Then some people stayed to clean up the bodies, while the other part went to imprison Lily, and locked up the crazy girl in the strictest black prison to wait for the people in power to decide her fate.
The remaining part.
He was here to comfort these dignitaries who were frightened in the middle of the night, clean up the mess left by the battle, and give an explanation to the female senior official who was attacked.
The two parties coordinated to temporarily change rooms.
However, the female executive refused to give up. Although she agreed to change rooms, she expressed doubts about whether her personal safety could be guaranteed.
To this.
She also made a few sarcastic remarks while the guards were cleaning up.
She needed a reasonable explanation, but the people in power did not show up until the early morning, which allowed the anxiety lingering among the people to spread quietly.
Qiao Xi had breakfast.
She walked straight to the room where Liu Jin was. She had already sensed the whereabouts of the last fragment of the Metal Heart.
Has been attracted and merged with the embers.
When I went to the young man's door and knocked, a gentle voice soon came from inside the room.
"Come in."
Liu Jin's room was isolated in a remote corner, hidden by layers of barriers, so that not even a trace of breath could penetrate from the outside.
Not to mention, it can be seen with the naked eye.
"Miss Qiao, you're here. It's just right. I'm feeling a little unwell. Alas..."
Liu Jin smiled when he saw Qiao Xi appear.
But soon.
His smile was tinged with helplessness and bitterness. He felt uneasy before going to bed, afraid that he would wake up and be the same as before.
A long time passed, and there was a gap of several months.
Fortunately, he woke up safely today. This change undoubtedly made Liu Jin excited, and at the same time, he was grateful to Qiao Xi for his help and treatment.
but……
There is also some not-so-good news.
That is, after he woke up, he found that the strange and uncomfortable power began to appear in his body again.
This discovery.
It also planted the seeds of uneasiness in Liu Jin's heart.
He finally waited for a special person like Qiao Xi to come and cure him, but his illness is about to relapse?
"Let me show you."
Noticing the young man's uneasy expression, Qiao Xi came up to him and said this.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin extended his hand to her just like he did yesterday.
Qiao Xi took it and began to absorb the power of the Metal Heart Fragment. The outside world was noisy, but it had little to do with her. She only cared about the Metal Heart Fragment in Liu Jin's body.
She looked focused, absorbing the power of the Metal Heart fragment.
The young man Liu Jin in front of her was gazing gently at the girl who was treating him with a focused and serious expression.
The young man asked in a low voice.
"Miss Qiao, do you have any wishes?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi blurted out, following her character's tone without a second thought: "Of course I want freedom. Being ordered around... Oh, it's really a headache."
After saying this, she sighed deeply as if she was distressed.
free.
The reasonable and standard answer is that no one living in the downstream area does not yearn for true fair freedom.
But it's the freedom they talk about.
The upper reaches are naturally the place of freedom, while the lower reaches are the place where people without dignity live. Chaos, robbery, burning, killing and plundering are the daily occurrences.
It's just the truth, not everyone dares to say it.
Their real desire is to yearn for such freedom. However, as weak slaves, having such a desire can be said to be a challenge to the order of the Black Palace.
Saying it out loud would be a heinous crime.
The user can identify the person as ambitious and wanting to overstep the line, or even see him as a threat, and thus try to silence him.
They certainly don't need ambitious slaves.
Therefore, most of the weak slaves will hide their desires and live a miserable life in this chaotic world, living one day at a time.
Their identities are destined to be like this and there will be no change in this life.
So what if it’s top quality?
For the strong, slaves are still slaves. At most, they are higher-level slaves that can be taken out to show off their wealth and save face.
so.
Their nature will not change. The weak who are slaves can only be slaves and cannot make any remarks that contradict their status.
And now.
Qiao Xi said such words in front of Liu Jin. If it were any other user in the upstream area, they would probably punish him on the spot after hearing Qiao Xi say such words.
But she was facing the embers.
He was not too deeply abused by the rich people in the upper reaches of the country, and spent his time in a coma due to illness for a long time.
"So that's how it is."
The young man nodded thoughtfully when he heard her words.
With their family's financial resources and status, it is possible to change a person's identity. As the saying goes, it is like covering the sky with one hand.
Liu Jin’s idea was also very simple.
Qiao Xi helped him, so she was a person who owed him a favor.
If this was Qiao Xi's wish, he would naturally want to realize it. However, even if he could escape slavery, he would still have to start from the status of a weak person.
Is this okay?
Liu Jin tried to tell Qiao Xi his thoughts, and soon received a surprised look from the woman. Being able to escape slavery was more important than anything else.
When the two reached an agreement.
A sign indicating that her mission was successfully completed slowly appeared on Qiao Xi's black mobile phone.
Collect all five Metal Heart fragments.
Forming the Metal Heart, she even went above and beyond, reaching an agreement with the Cinders and signing a secret contract to free herself from being a weak slave.
Successfully removed slavery.
The moment Qiao Xi walked out of Liu Jin's room, the surrounding scene receded like the tide, getting farther and farther away from her.
Within sight.
Darkness began to encroach, followed by the familiar dizzying feeling of the world spinning around.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes.
Faintly, she seemed to hear the rumble of a train. Her thoughts froze for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back inside the train.
At this moment, it was night in the carriage.
The train was completely silent, with no one in sight. The station sign at the front kept flashing. The dot of light representing the train was only millimeters away from the final stop.
