mysterious forerunner

Chapter 367: The Aquitus Family

Albia is a country that has suffered too much. Since the 1950s, the situation here has been turbulent, with a war occurring on average every five years.

Before the mysterious arrival, the negotiations between the two armed factions in the country, which had no sincerity to begin with, completely broke down, and the largest civil war in thirty years broke out.

In just three months, 200,000 civilians were killed or injured.

After the mysterious outbreak, the mysterious scenes that descended here were also very strange. Every scene was related to war, and no matter how big or small, one side of the battle had to win before the scene would fade away.

Unlike other places, in most cases the mysterious scene fades away when the sun rises.

According to North America and Europe, this assessment, or campaign test, is intended to test the candidates' qualities of "fairness and justice" and "broadness and fraternity."

After all, it is an international academy, and the principal must treat students from different countries equally and not have any prejudice.

The North African region is the traditional sphere of influence of the European power Paris.

Paris and the North Americans have always been at odds with each other, but in the past six months or so, under tremendous mysterious pressure, Paris has had no choice but to "deeply cooperate" with the North Americans.

Paris thought it was cooperation, but the North Americans thought they were "completely surrendering."

So the Mysterious Bureau knew all kinds of information about Albia. Riddick Bowe threw some of the information to his candidate for the principal: "Joruus, choose one of these three cities. As long as you can solve a scenario and rescue at least 70,000 to 80,000 people, we will be invincible.

If you can solve two of them, we will definitely be first."

Joruus has a thick beard and a vicious gang tattoo on the left side of his cheek.

The exposed arms were also covered with various tattoos, extending all the way to the ten fingers of both hands.

He was wearing a tight white vest and jeans, with his two thick pectoral muscles bulging high.

She had a gold necklace as thick as her little finger around her neck and four large rings on her hands.

It's totally West Coast gang style.

He cursed impatiently: "Damn it! Why did I come all the way here to save those black ghosts?"

"I used to smash their heads open with a hammer!"

Riddick Bowe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Man, this is reality. Just bear with it."

Benita on the side also said: "We all hate them, but in public, we will raise our arms and speak out to fight for more rights for them. Joruus, you have to get used to saying one thing and thinking another."

Joruus rolled his eyes at her and grumbled to express his displeasure, but did not object anymore.

In short, it is the "fairness and justice" and "broadness and fraternity" that are very North American in nature.

Joruus asked again: "Are you sure you can win?"

Riddick Bowe smiled: "Don't worry, for such an important matter, we won't let any accidents happen!"

……

He Jiliang is He Xu's fifth uncle. Among the entourage this time, more than half are from the He family or from forces related to the He family.

After arriving in Albia, the relevant information was also delivered to He Xu.

However, this information is much more general than what Paris provided to North America.

For example, on a map, mysterious scenes are circled with red lines.

However, there is no indication of how many people are trapped in each mysterious scene.

He Xu casually pointed to a few places and said, "These two mysterious scenes have actually disappeared. We passed by there yesterday."

The only people discussing with He Xu were He Jiliang and another ordinary-looking attendant.

Zhang Qingxiang in disguise.

Zhang Qingxiang has received the information sent by Benita, but Zhang Qingxiang has other plans and does not intend to rely on this information - that might lead to Benita being exposed.

He Jiliang was polite to Zhang Qingxiang, but deep down, he did not intend to follow Zhang Qingxiang's instructions completely.

Luo Yuanhui actually guessed one thing correctly: if the interests involved are too huge, then the drama of "turning against each other" might really become true!

Before going abroad, the elders of the He family held a meeting.

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone had a unanimous opinion: if there was an opportunity, the He family and Zhang Qingxiang could be separated, as the He family would eventually become a separate faction.

The He family’s attitude is: There is no need to become enemies. Zhang Qingxiang and Bai Lao are both smart people and should be able to understand what the He family means.

In the future, everyone can become allies of equal status and give corresponding rewards when cooperation is needed. The He family is still willing to cooperate with Zhang Qingxiang.

However, He Jiliang felt a little disappointed with He Xu.

Ever since He Xu returned to the capital, He Xu's parents, the old man of the He family, and He Jiliang, etc., have hinted to He Xu many times.

But no one knew what kind of magic potion Zhang Qingxiang had poured on He Xu, and he just refused to give a clear attitude.

At this moment, He Xu's attitude made He Jiliang's blood pressure rise a little.

He Xu crossed his legs and asked Zhang Qingxiang nonchalantly, "Hey, hey, hey, give me some advice. You asked me to choose the principal, and that scum Xiao Guan took advantage of me. I'm really in a difficult situation now. You can't just ignore me."

He Jiliang thought, why do you have to rely on Zhang Qingxiang?

You are also a genius in the Beijing circle. You used to make all the decisions on your own. Why do you want Zhang Qingxiang to make the decision now?
Moreover, this guy acted like he had a very close relationship with Zhang Qingxiang.

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and said, "This is actually very simple. Just keep an eye on Joruus in North America! Follow him into any scene he goes to.

As long as you get ahead of him and crack the mysterious scene, it will be fine.

We are invincible.”

He Xu's eyes lit up: "That makes sense!"

He Jiliang was also stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Qingxiang deeply.

I have to admit, this guy is really cunning!

That really gives a good idea.

Zhang Qingxiang asked with a smile: "You are also at the ninth level, right?"

Ye Yousheng is already at the first level of the Domination Realm, and Guan Xuanbai was promoted to the ninth level ten days ago.

But after He Xu returned to Beijing, he always claimed to be at the eighth level.

"I know you must be up to no good and looking for a chance to scare Xiao Guan."

He Xu was full of complaints: "If he doesn't take advantage of the situation, can I hold back and do something to him?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Qingxiang laughed and patted his shoulder: "Okay, go quickly and follow Joruus closely."

He Xu stood up and walked out. Zhang Qingxiang asked again, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

He Xu waved his hand: "No need."

Although the mysterious scene here is special, judging from the information gathered from all sides, the level of the monsters inside will not be too high, and the sixth level should be the ceiling.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Qingxiang called him again and threw the [Half-Vision of the Emperor] over to him: "Take this with you."

He Xu didn't bother to be polite and just took it.

He Jiliang's eyelids twitched. He knew the importance of this secret object.

Although He Xu and Guan Xuanbai both contributed to obtaining this secret object, and the three of them agreed to share this secret object, Zhang Qingxiang made the greatest contribution, and this secret object has always been kept by Zhang Qingxiang.

If it were He Jiliang, there was no way he would have loaned out such a precious treasure.

What if I can’t take it back?
But Zhang Qingxiang just threw it to He Xu so casually.

In just a dozen minutes, He Jiliang understood why his nephew was so devoted to Zhang Qingxiang.

"No wonder this kid, at such a young age, has become a giant in the Secret Security Bureau!"

"Fifth Uncle." Zhang Qingxiang followed He Xu in calling him Fifth Uncle. He Jiliang's mentality had changed slightly, and he said "Hey" very affectionately.

Zhang Qingxiang said: "We can't just sit there and wait, we have to do something."

"Director Zhang, please let me know if you have any ideas."

……

He Xu followed Joruus closely. Joruus saw this guy entering the mysterious scene behind him and grinned proudly. "Just follow me. What's wrong with you following me?"

Paris not only provides the mystery scenes with the largest number of people, but also provides the specific elements of these mystery scenes.

After you get in, you will be able to crack it first if you know where to focus. If you follow behind me, you won't even get a sip of soup.

As soon as the two entered, Olga from the Bear Country had already cracked a mysterious scene and walked out with hundreds of ragged victims.

Olga and the Bear delegation didn't think too much about it. After arriving in Albia, they directly broke into the first scene they encountered and cracked it first.

The character of the Mao Bear people has always been like this, roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Candidates from other countries have also selected their scenarios one after another. Olga has cracked three scenarios and rescued more than a thousand people. At present, they are far ahead.

The group of people from the Bear Country became excited, took out a few bottles of vodka, and drank while waiting for Olga.

The more than one thousand people rescued were rounded up together like cattle, but the Mao Bear people had no follow-up plans.

The more than 1,000 people in the mysterious scene were either injured or thirsty and hungry due to lack of water and food.

They were quite surprised after being rescued, but it turned out that the Russians didn't even provide them with saliva!

Someone took the initiative to ask for food and water, but the two sides couldn't communicate in the same language, and the bear people were hot-tempered, so they thought that these black ghosts were dishonest, so they beat the leading Albians half to death with their fists...

Albia has a large land area, roughly equivalent to a province in China.

Candidates from various countries scattered around the country to search for mysterious scenes. In addition to sending supervisors, the organizing committee also built an online conference platform through which they can view the results of each other.

Zhang Qingxiang and He Jiliang also carried a tablet with them and kept an eye on other candidates.

Suddenly, cheers rang out on the online conference platform again. It was from the Bear Country. Their Olga cracked the fourth scene.

There are a lot of people in this scene, about 1,600, which brings the Bear Country's score to 3,000 people.

There is also a data ranking list on the platform, with the Russian Bear Country at the top of the list.

Except for them, the scores behind the names of other candidates are: 0!

The guys from the Bear Country were also a little drunk. They put their big faces in front of the camera and yelled, "You lose!"

"You all lose!"

"North America, China, Paris, Da Ying...you are all losers."

Then they hugged each other in a circle, singing and dancing happily. In the middle of the circle there was a hairy bear man destroying his knees.

For the next half an hour or so, while these bears were still able to move after getting drunk, a large face would occasionally appear on the meeting screen, howling like a ghost:
"loser!"

Fortunately, they were all drunk afterwards and fell on top of each other like a pyramid and fell into a deep sleep.

He Jiliang saw through the screen that the 3,000 rescued people who had been circled together by them gradually gained the courage to slip out and flee in all directions.

Some of the bolder ones stole the supplies, including food and drinks, from the Russians.

Then a few more guys tried the Bear Man's vodka tentatively.

The final result was that dozens of the rescued people got drunk and slept together with the bears, while the rest of the rescued people all slipped away.

On the list of the conference platform, the number behind the name of Olga from the Bear Country dropped from more than 3,000 to dozens!
He Jiliang was not the only one watching the joke in secret.

He Jiliang smiled secretly and shook his head, but couldn't help but think: How is that kid He Xu doing?
Did Director Zhang get any results?
……

He Xu followed Joruus alone into a mysterious scene.

This is a small town in Albia, which is inconspicuous on the map, but before the mysterious arrival, a war was taking place here, and the two armed factions deployed a total of about 40,000 armed personnel. In addition, there are more than 6,000 residents in this town.

Joruus brought thirty of his men, all of whom were third- and fourth-level professionals.

Joruus's profession is [Butcher].

He made rapid progress after taking the job. In addition to some of his own "little secrets", a very important reason was that this job was very consistent with his personality.

This also shows that he is a reckless man, so Riddick Bowe specially assigned two "military advisors" to him.

Joruus was very self-aware of his own wisdom and followed the advice of these two in terms of tactics.

As soon as these two entered the mysterious scene, they began to fight a battle of wits and courage with He Xu behind them.

He Xu followed them for a few hours and then disappeared quietly.

Before coming in, Director Zhang had told him: crack the scene here and grasp one key point: kill the final boss.

He Xu also tried to test it out at the beginning, and after a few times he found that everything here was weird. Just as Director Zhang said, the rank was actually not high.

He Xu discovered that his strength was enough to sweep everything here.

The difficult part is how to find the final boss.

When Joruus and his gang found that He Xu was missing, they breathed a sigh of relief. This lingering guy finally left.

Could it be that it was eaten by the monster hiding in the dark?

That's really good!
The two military officers discovered a group of powerful monsters ahead and formulated a comprehensive battle plan, which is being steadily advanced. According to the plan, they will eliminate this group of monsters in two hours.

You can further force out the strongest monster behind it.

The progress bar for solving this mysterious scene is almost halfway done.

But at this moment, the dozens of monsters in front of them suddenly shook violently, became stiff and motionless, and then their figures slowly faded and disappeared!
"Has anyone cracked the mystery scene?"

The two military advisors immediately responded: "What is it?"

"Damn it!" Joruus cursed angrily, and sure enough, he saw He Xu walking towards him with his hands behind his back, smiling: "Thank you, thank you! I'm one step ahead!"

The two military advisors rolled their eyes and immediately said, "This is our credit!"

"We are the ones who cracked this mysterious scene. Don't even think about taking our credit!"

He Xu opened his mouth and said, "I really underestimated the shamelessness of you North Americans!"

Joruus had no moral bottom line and immediately said, "We eliminated a large number of monsters and killed the final boss!"

He Xu patted the recorder on his chest and said, "If it weren't for this thing, you guys would really be able to lie."

Joruus and the others felt guilty, but quickly said, "So what? We deserve at least half the credit. If we hadn't helped you contain these monsters, how could you have gotten the chance to monopolize the final boss?"

"So this time, we'll each take half of the results!"

He Xu sneered: "Dream on!"

Joruus also folded his arms and sneered: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. We will submit an arbitration to the organizing committee."

He Xu's face suddenly turned gloomy. North Americans controlled the majority of the organizing committee!

He Xu turned and left without saying a word. He could do nothing about these shameless North Americans. But He Xu believed that the even more shameless... oh no, more wise Director Zhang must have a way to control them!

He Xu quickly found his fifth uncle and whispered what happened to him. Before the two of them had time to discuss countermeasures, the North American committee member had already raised the issue during the video conference.

He Jiliang strongly opposed it, but unsurprisingly the final vote result was in support of the North American proposal.

He Xu and Joruus "jointly" cracked the scene, and the credit is shared equally between the two!
"Damn, how shameless!" He Xu cursed loudly in front of him, but the North American was not moved at all.

He Xu pulled his uncle aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is Director Zhang?"

He Jiliang: "He said he wanted to give you an extra layer of insurance, and then he went out alone, refusing to tell me what he was going to do."

He Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Since Director Zhang said so, there will be no problem."

He Jiliang couldn't help but look at his nephew, thinking to himself, you are so foolish to trust him.

After hesitating for a while, He Jiliang still persuaded: "Look for another mysterious scene and don't follow Joruus anymore.

You keep following him, and as long as you crack the scene, he can take half of the credit."

He Xu asked, "Does Director Zhang have any other plans when he leaves?"

"I didn't say it."

"Then I will continue to follow Joruus."

"You——" He Jiliang was angry, but He Xu waved his hand: "Uncle Wu, you don't have to say anything. I know what you and your family mean, but I think you are wrong."

"Wrong..." He Jiliang wanted to say something else, but He Xu had already walked away.

He Jiliang shook his head and sighed: "This kid is still young."

……

He Xu followed Joruus into the second mysterious scene.

This mysterious scene was located more than 300 kilometers away, and it took most of the day to get there.

The country's infrastructure is so poor that more than half of the 300 kilometers are dirt roads.

During this time, Olga solved another mysterious scene, but when she came out, she looked around: Where are the people I saved before?
The ground is full of drunkards from the Bear Country.

This brought back bad memories for Olga: her husband used to be like this, drinking recklessly and beating me when he was drunk!
Olga whipped all the bears to wake them up, breaking two whips...

The second mysterious scene chosen by Joruus is located in a long canyon.

When Qiao Luwu saw He Xu following behind him, he waved to him arrogantly: "Welcome, boy from China!"

He Xu ignored them with a cold face.

Four hours after entering the scene, He Xu found the final boss and killed him.

Joruus laughed: "Thank you for your efforts!"

The North Americans repeated their old tricks and took away half of the credit through the organizing committee.

He Jiliang protested angrily, and the North American committee member said: "All decisions of the committee are fair. If you have any objections, why not ask He Xu not to follow Joruus."

He Jiliang was suddenly speechless.

At this time, He Jiliang had already developed a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Qingxiang.

If it wasn't for your bad idea to let my nephew follow Joruus, why would we be in such a passive position?

But I don't know what kind of magic you have drugged He Xu, and he has become so confident in your decision.

He Xu followed Joruus without saying a word!
He Jiliang didn't notice that on the list of the online conference platform, Joruus and He Xu were at the top of the list.

In two consecutive scenes, more than 70,000 people were rescued, and the number divided equally between the two people was about 35,000 each.

Below them, candidates from various countries are also working very hard. For example, Olga has now cracked six mysterious scenes, but has only rescued four thousand people.

Even if the previous three thousand people are added, there are only more than seven thousand.

Far behind He Xu and Joruus.

That is to say, without Zhang Qingxiang's guidance, even if He Xu was stronger and could crack more scenes - even if he had twice as many as Olga, there would only be more than 10,000 people.

And as long as Joruus cracks the first scene, he will have about 40,000 people.

It was hard to catch up with Joruus.

At noon on the third day after the organizing committee arrived in Albia, He Xu and Joruus solved the third mysterious scene, and the final result was also the result of the two people's scoring.

The values ​​of both of them soared to 56,000.

At this time, the second, third and fourth place behind them had values ​​of just over 10,000.

Olga was very strong and cracked thirty-one mysterious scenes in three days. However, on the second and third days, her luck was extremely bad. She could only bring out a few hundred people in each scene and did not encounter any scene with a large number of people.

This allowed Daying and Paris to slowly catch up.

Joruus looked at He Xu who was following him and asked with a sneer, "Do you still want to follow?"

After the three most crowded mysterious scenes, Joruus didn't know where to go next.

Parris offered all three scenes, and under pressure from North America, gave all three to the North Americans.

However, apart from the three scenes, the scenes with a larger number of people have been cracked by Paris in the past few days.

Only then could they rank third on the list, right behind Olga.

In other words, there are no cost-effective mystery scenes now.

He Xu was about to say, "I'm still following you," when suddenly his cell phone moved and he received a message.

He took it out and saw that it was indeed from Director Zhang: Don't follow.

He Xu used both hands to make an internationally accepted gesture towards Joruus, then turned around and left in a dashing manner.

Joruus was furious and was about to chase after him - He Xu turned around and raised his fist at him, and Joruus immediately backed down.

After three mysterious scenes, he knew very well that he was no match for He Xu.

He Xu returned to his fifth uncle He Jiliang. He Jiliang was unhappy and pointed at the list and said, "What's the point of being tied for first place... Huh?"

He Jiliang was complaining when he suddenly discovered that the North American side had suddenly lost the connection on the online conference platform!

"what happened?"

Someone walked in from outside and said, "He Xu, you can act freely. No matter what mysterious scene you go to, just save people."

Zhang Qing came to the door and continued, "North American scores will not increase any more."

"Why?" He Jiliang asked blankly.

Zhang Qingxiang chuckled: "Because they themselves have fallen into a mysterious scene."

"Ah?!" He Jiliang was stunned, while He Xu burst into laughter.

……

Joruus returned to the North American base and was about to discuss with the two military advisors: "Where should we go next..."

Suddenly, the light around dimmed, and the concentration of mysterious energy increased suddenly!
Joruus yelled, "Oh no! A mysterious scene is about to happen!"

"how so?!"

The two military advisors' faces changed drastically: "Not good, we are trapped..."

……

The mysterious scenes of this war background are very obvious, and the mystery behind them is the "Aquitius clan".

This is a kind of artifact mystery.

When the first war scene arrives, an Aquitus artifact will also arrive at the same time.

If you find the mystery of this artifact, you can control all the mysterious war scenes within a fixed range.

Zhang Qingxiang found this artifact - it was hidden very deeply, and Zhang Qingxiang had to work very hard to find it.

But as long as you find it, you can immediately specify the location where the mysterious scene will occur.

Zhang Qingxiang immediately covered the North American base with a mysterious scene, and as soon as Joruus cracked one mysterious scene, the second and third would descend one after another!
