Double world undercurrent

Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen Underground Investigation Division

"……Wow……"

Gu Xiaoxing looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, and judged that he should be in a dense forest in a deep mountain valley.

Surrounded by ancient trees, the dozens of nearby trees, from the trunks to the lush branches and leaves, all flowed with white fluorescence, as if they were alive, dancing softly, twisting their branches wildly, overlapping and entangled.

The two were surrounded by the rustling sound among the branches and leaves.

Then, Gu Xiaoxing saw that on the open space in front of him, the soil was turning outward layer by layer, swaying from the ground, and slowly rising two plants more than 20 meters high, silvery white and translucent, with strange shapes.

Their side branches are swaying, intertwined and stacked together. The branches are like thick and towering mushroom stalks, and countless large and small "jellyfish" are stretched out from the upper branches.The tentacles of each "jellyfish" are gracefully fluttering, sprinkled with white dots.

"Who is coming?"

With the hoarse and severe questioning, a snake-shaped head protruded from the "jellyfish" bushes at the upper end. Its silver-white scales almost merged with the plants, and its blood-red eyes were inlaid like gems in the flat and narrow face. superior.

"Oh...Your Highness! It turns out that you are here!"

The red eyes lit up, and I saw Mingshuo standing majestically under the tree, hugging a beautiful and refined woman with bright eyes and white teeth, even if her fair face looked a little dirty, it was hard to hide the warmth between her eyebrows and eyes. Wan pure.

"...and Her Royal Highness?"

It followed the "mushroom stalk" and jumped down from the top.Only then did Gu Xiaoxing see that it turned out to be a head connected to two torsos. Starting from the back end of its flat snake-shaped skull, two slender snake bodies were branched out, winding and covered with white scales.

It landed on the ground, curled up its tail, raised its head from the two forked snake body, bowed its head, and bowed its head respectfully.

The whole set of movements was done in one go, but seeing Gu Xiaoxing's scalp tingle, he instinctively turned his face away, and hid in Mingshuo's arms.

Seeing her like this, Ming Shuo couldn't help laughing.

When she was still Leng Xin, she was most afraid of snake-like creatures covered with scales. When such creatures suddenly appeared in front of her, she would jump in fright. It looked cute and funny.Unexpectedly, now that she is reborn, she is still afraid of becoming like this.

"Pod, Zareth has all the spies back?"

Ming Shuo tried his best to sound as serious as usual.

"Reporting to Your Highness, they are all waiting for you in the Investigation Division now."

The two-headed, creepy-looking foot-thrower answered.

"Well, you inform Zalei to let them rest and wait in the meeting room first, and avoid the side hall and the inner room. In addition, immediately send someone to the mansion of the magic doctor and invite Song Yan. Remember, bring her directly to the side hall , as for the path and method of coming, we must keep it absolutely secret from her."

"As ordered, this subordinate will do it now... Then, Your Highness, are you and the princess also going to the side hall?"

Mingshuo bowed his head and lowered his eyes, seeing Gu Xiaoxing in his arms with a dazed and lovely look on his face due to fear of the foot-loving beast and doubts about the environment here, the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised slightly:

"Let's go directly to the inner room..."

The Pedrobeast kowtowed to accept the order, then turned its head and exhaled a breath of white air behind it.Immediately, the two strange plants began to separate to the left and right.

When they were separated, the "jellyfish" stretched out from the top made a grunting sound, still intertwined and folded together, and collapsed like a roof, forcing the main part of the lower end to bend inward, forming a huge arch.

With the formation of the arch, a star curtain was formed inside the door. Gu Xiaoxing saw a shooting star flashing across the star curtain, between those bright nebulae.

"so beautiful……"

She couldn't help but sigh.

Ming Shuo hugged her, stepped forward five steps, and stepped into the arch.The moment they stepped in, the archway behind them disappeared.

Gu Xiaoxing felt that they were in a three-dimensional nebula scroll.

Suddenly, accompanied by the whistling sound, these nebulae began to move quickly without any rules. Amidst the confusion, a star point quickly approached them, expanding and growing, and in an instant, it became a huge light cluster, which would They swallow it.

Gu Xiaoxing closed her eyes subconsciously, but within a blink of an eye, she felt that the surrounding area seemed not so bright, so she opened her eyes again, and found that they were already in a room with curved walls and soft and comfortable light. What I saw just now seemed like a dream.

She looked up, down, left, and right at the room. There were no windows in the room, and the ceiling was supposed to be filled with smoke and clouds. She suspected that there was no ceiling.

Soft white light radiates from the four walls, among them, on the curved wall on the left, there is a curtain that is also curved, with streamers shining and fluttering, as if there is no solid curtain.

On the right side of the wall, there is a row of shelves that are consistent with the undulations of the wall. On the shelves are hanging beads, fan mirrors, snakeskin boxes, keel fragments, and other strange things that cannot be named.

Directly opposite is an empty wall. On the left side of the wall is a set of brown tables and chairs with smooth lines, and on the right side is a dark gray open space.At this time, the billowing cloud of smoke from the ceiling poured into the open space like a water column, rose up again after landing, twisted and gathered to form a cloud bed of billowing smoke.

Ming Shuo hugged the person in his arms steadily, leaned over, and gently placed her on the cloud bed.

Gu Xiaoxing felt like sleeping on a warm and soft cotton candy, it was so comfortable, but lacked a pillow.The cloud bed seemed to be able to read her mind, and just as she was thinking this way, she felt that the pillow had risen to a comfortable height.

Then, the cloud of smoke beside the pillow formed a wisp of white mist, which dabblingly rubbed against Gu Xiaoxing's face, and wiped off the stains on her face like a wet tissue.

It's so cozy, a reserved and sweet smile bloomed on Gu Xiaoxing's face.

"Where is this place... His Royal Highness the Demon King?"

When Mingshuo heard her call himself "His Royal Highness the Demon King", his tone was both reverent and slightly teasing, but also wrapped in a layer of coquettish taste, and he suddenly felt a tiger leaping in his chest.

"This is the inner room of the Underground Investigation Division."

He tied the tiger in his chest that was about to let go, and waved his hand calmly, only to see a few wisps of smoke slipping from the edge of the cloud bed, falling to the ground beside it, and gathering into a cloud stool.

Ming Shuo was sitting calmly on the cloud stool, his eyes locked on her were full of doting.He leaned over and straightened his phantom robe that was still draped over her, feeling a subtle sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Gu Xiaoxing's face was pale from the cold at first, but now some blood color finally recovered, Ming Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is actually the underground investigation department," Gu Xiaoxing stared curiously at the cloud waves churning on the ceiling, "I thought it was in the sky..."

"Actually...we are neither on the ground nor in the sky. From the moment we step into the arch, we have entered a virtual space."

While talking mysteriously, Mingshuo summoned a messenger crane. Gu Xiaoxing saw the messenger crane flapping its wings and jumping into the smoke cloud above.

"Virtual image?" She looked around in disbelief, "Could it be that the furnishings here, this bed, and this room are all fake?"

"No, everything here is real, except for the starry sky." Ming Shuo said, "That's a blindfold."

"Oh..." Gu Xiaoxing recalled what happened on the outskirts of the Inner Ring Road tonight, "Then, is the ghost rain space also a phantom space?"

Ming Shuo's expression froze.

"Too……"

He thought of what happened today, from the abnormal movement of the monument of divine power, to the inability to sense Gu Xiaoxing's divine essence, to the killing of the secret agent, Gu Xiaoxing she...

"Xin'er, is it convenient for you to tell me what you have experienced today?"

"It's convenient, I was just about to tell you..." Although Gu Xiaoxing's limbs are still paralyzed and unable to move, but now lying on the cloud bed, her body has warmed up a lot, so she is still in good condition. She suddenly discovered that she has experienced a lot today Son.First, let's start with the headline.

"Today, I saw a strange light mark on the pier of the Southeast Bridge. I suspect it has something to do with my colleague's death, and I also saw people from the Wu clan..."

Gu Xiaoxing told Mingshuo the contents of the news, as well as his guess about that Guangyin.

Although Ming Shuo knew about it, he still patiently listened to her story.

"Have you stared at that light seal at a close distance?" Mingshuo frowned slightly, vaguely knowing the reason for the change in the monument of divine power.

"Well...the distance is not too close, but I can feel a surge of air." Gu Xiaoxing said.

"When was that time?" Ming Shuo felt that the answer became clearer and clearer.

Gu Xiaoxing thought about it carefully: "Well...it's about 06:30 in the evening."

This time point is the time when the monument of divine power changes.

Ming Shuo finally understood why the Monument of Divine Power changed at that time, but he sensed that Gu Xiaoxing's side was safe. It turned out that the one who awakened her spiritual power this time was not someone who had planned for a long time, but something.

"Xin'er... that light mark is the imprint left by the forbidden weapon," he said to Gu Xiaoxing, "people from other worlds causing trouble in the real world will produce dark energy that is not conducive to maintaining the balance between the two worlds, but the forbidden weapon can Absorb this energy infinitely, and leave a mark... Even if it is a mark, it is also full of supernatural energy... I think...you stared at it from a close distance, and unintentionally stimulated your spiritual awakening."

Gu Xiaoxing suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder I felt that way, and that Wu clansman covered by a layer of golden light, I suspected that he was invisible at the time, but I could see him."

Although considering the current situation, the awakening of Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power is not a good thing, but while she was afraid of it, she also felt a little bit of joy: I don't know what ability she has unlocked!However, this emotion was fleeting. She remembered that she couldn't move now, and her spiritual power seemed to be suppressed.

"Today I met Yu Yacha and a man with a tattoo on his neck... It seems to be called Zhu Yan, they are together... What kind of altar are you going to take me to..." She continued, seeing Mingshuo's eyes turning bright, The eyes are getting colder.

"These two people followed Leng Yi a long time ago..." he said.The altar... He caught this information, and Leng Yi deliberately wanted to break the seal, and even asked his followers to set up an altar for himself.The function of the altar is not just as simple as offering sacrifices... You have to try to find this altar and destroy it, Ming Shuo thought to himself.

"That candle flame, as soon as it came, shone something between my eyebrows, in the shape of a six-pointed star... and said who was killed on the way here..." Gu Xiaoxing continued.

Ming Shuo recalled that there were burn marks on the hideous wound on the spy's body, which should be caused by Zhu Yan.During the hundreds of years of civil war, he had seen Candle Flame's fire spells before.

However, what would he put in Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows?It is still in the shape of a six-pointed star, which is not like the spell style of people like him.

"Is that six-pointed star a real entity or an illusion?"

"I don't know, I just felt very strange at the time," Gu Xiaoxing recalled the inexplicable reaction at that time, "... After he pointed at the center of my eyebrows, he said..." She stopped suddenly, and pursed her lips hesitantly.

"What did he say?" Mingshuo vaguely felt that the fog in his heart was gradually dissipating, and another conjecture of his was about to be confirmed.

"...He said that no matter what you do to me now, you can't come to save me..."

Gu Xiaoxing said softly, feeling that Mingshuo's eyes on her are very meaningful.

"Why did he say that?" Gu Xiaoxing asked suspiciously.

"Because..." Ming Shuo paused, his black eyes were deep and piercing, "He thought that some kind of connection between us was broken."

Ming Shuo thought about what Leng Yi said in front of the Monument of Divine Power in order to provoke him.Everything is premeditated!Leng Yi knew that at that time, Zhu Yan and Yu Yecha went to the world to find Gu Xiaoxing, and he must have given Zhu Yan the hexagram.

Leng Yi knew him well, knew his "Ni Lin", and deliberately provoked him, disturbed his mood, and delayed time... Thinking of this, Ming Shuo was so angry that his teeth itch.

"What's the connection between us?" When Gu Xiaoxing asked this question, her star eyes turned slightly, her face flushed, and the corners of her lips raised slightly. She didn't know whether she was puzzled or surprised, or both.It seems that she focused on listening to "connected".

Mingshuo couldn't figure out her thoughts, but seeing this cute little appearance, his ups and downs eased a lot.

"Our connection—"

He saw the light of expectation in her eyes. At this moment, he wanted to tell her everything and wake up her sleeping memory like never before.Doesn't matter whether her spiritual power will awaken, and whether Leng Yi will break the seal?
He wanted to ignore her, hug her into his arms, and kiss her hard.He wanted to tell her that they once fell in love so much that they could share this matter, told her that he still liked her so much, and wanted to walk through the world's scenery with her, hand in hand until the end of life.

But how could he really ignore it?
"—it's still a secret."
