Above Destiny

Chapter 432 The lingering sound
Spring City?

Ji Jue paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

He recalled the message that Lu Yingyue had sent him before.

[In two days, some people should go to Quancheng].

Quancheng, not Xinquan, has been a reminder from the very beginning.

It was just that she thought she was referring to the small town she built, and ignored the fact that the real behemoth was right next to her.

The instantaneous thoughts were like lightning, running through many mysteries.

When An Neng threw the stump to him, he looked at Quan Cheng with a strange expression and said...

In this sudden realization, many questions were suddenly answered.

Why did Pacquiao first try to borrow the road, and then so easily deliver it to me under my urging, and suddenly there was a teammate of a super-level rank that I had never heard of...

And, Chen Haiqiu suddenly appeared at this moment.

In other words, their purpose is not... no, at least it should be said that it is not just Xinquan, but what they really care about is Quancheng, which has already turned into ruins?

What else is there in Quancheng?
It's just a ruin. Even the remaining valuables have been dug up by the garbage collectors. They can't be here to look for any remnants of evil pollution, right?
Those were cleaned up by the Security Bureau.

Or earlier...

In less than a second, Ji Jue's thoughts had begun to spread. The moment he reacted, he sighed softly and looked at Chen Haiqiu.

Chen Haiqiu was also smiling and looking at him.

In the brief exchange of glances, there was suddenly a sense of unspeakable tacit understanding.

Even if I didn't intend to tell Ji Jue anything, he had given me enough clues. If I still didn't understand, I deserved to be treated as a fool.

Although I don't know why so much was revealed to me, if I can no longer feel this kindness, I might as well find a rope to hang myself in front of the gate of Coast Industries.

"Let's go."

Ji Jue sighed and picked up his coat: "The road conditions are quite bad recently. If we want to catch the airship, we'll have to hurry."

A few minutes later, the calf and horse had already driven out of Xinquan.

After the asphalt road comes to an end, there is a dirt road covered with mud. Although it is the rainy season and there is a drizzle in the sky, there are still fully loaded tricycles coming and going along the road.

"They are all products from Coast." Chen Haiqiu glanced at the wind turbines slowly rotating in the rain outside the window and said with emotion, "In just a few months, they have developed so rapidly. It's really amazing."

“It’s just that others don’t think highly of it.”

Ji Jue drove the car and sighed self-deprecatingly: "As long as it is durable and cheap enough, there will be no problem selling it. No matter how bad the user experience is, it doesn't matter as long as it can be used.

Unfortunately, the market is too small and no one cares."

Who would start a company in the wilderness if they had any brains?

The sales volume in the city in one quarter is not sold in a whole year outside the city. In some places, a rotor must be paid in installments, and the money must be collected with a gun. As for the profit... If you really do business honestly, I am afraid you will lose a lot of money.

Fortunately, if you don't register in the city and don't do business in the city, you naturally have nowhere to pay taxes, which can save a lot of money. And with the current scale of the coast, it won't be necessary for the tax bureau in the middle city to send troops over.

"Ahead, turn a little to the right."

Chen Haiqiu reminded.

Amid the drizzling rain, the Spring City under the gloomy sky looked even more dilapidated and ruined. When the strong wind blew past, it blew through the broken walls and mud-covered buildings, and faint cries were heard.

Traces of destruction can be seen everywhere on the streets, most of which were left by violent demolition by garbage collectors, but there are also many traces of the fierce fight between the various parties more than half a year ago.

The wounds continue.

Between several collapsed buildings, Chen Haiqiu got out of the car, opened an umbrella, waved to Ji Jue, and motioned him to go forward.

After passing through several cordons that had long since fallen into the mud and water, they turned left and right and actually entered an unknown area.

A place where no one else has ever been.

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, bent down, and knocked on the wet ground. The spiritual waves of the dissociation technique spread faintly for a moment, without causing any damage, just a snap of the fingers.

It was an eye-opener.

It is a phantom maze drawn by the mirror, and also superimposed with the no-man's land imposed by the heart hub.

The two common secret rituals were perfectly hidden in the surrounding ruined buildings and under the ground, running stably. Even Ji Jue did not notice anything unusual before he walked in.

The main reason is that Quancheng is too big. In the endless ruins, unless the high-level ether searches with all its strength, who can walk through the entire city step by step, and then infer the hidden space by measuring the footsteps?

As one moves gradually inward, the remaining evil aura from the past gradually emerges.

There were also several devices in the open space that were used to isolate the evil spirits, which had been repaired and recovered by Ji Jue before. They were obviously set up by the Security Bureau in Quancheng to absorb residual pollution.

"There are eleven more places like this in Quancheng."

Chen Haiqiu changed his previous secretive style and took the initiative to introduce while walking in front and leading the way: "However, this place is different from other places. There is another layer of equipment below..."

"Tell me these things, is it really okay?"

"You have the An family nominating you, and Lu Zhenshou guaranteeing you, so there is no need to be shy about such a small matter."

Chen Haiqiu said: "Xinquan is right next to us anyway, and others don't have the convenience you have. After a while, the Security Bureau should hand over the maintenance of these equipment to you in the next few years. They are all simple things, just replace them regularly.

However, what you really need to pay attention to is not these things...it is still ahead. "

As he spoke, he slowly moved forward with a device that looked like a GPS in his hand. Ji Jue could feel the confidentiality of the program in that device, and the ex machina had no way of penetrating it.

It seemed to be receiving signals from all around and confirming its location while working.

After repeatedly confirming his position, Chen Haiqiu raised his right hand, and then, under Ji Jue's gaze, solemnly... took out his cell phone.

"..."

Under Ji Jue's speechless gaze, he dialed the phone.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's me, this side of Quancheng. I'll open the door for a moment. Don't make a fuss. It will be right away." He raised his left hand and said, "Right away."

boom!!.

In an instant, there was a loud roar and a strong wind blew in all directions.

A straight beam of light suddenly appeared from the sky above Quancheng, so conspicuous.

Amid the howling wind, something that looked like a keyhole appeared in the void.

Something like a key emerged in Chen Haiqiu's left hand. He inserted it and twisted it, and in an instant, a sound of breaking was heard.

One of the countless eternal doors was opened, and the world before my eyes suddenly changed, completely different from before!
In a flash, Ji Jue was already in darkness.

A small rift!

The crack, which is only a few dozen square meters in size, is attached to the Spring City. No, it should be said that it was peeled off from the Spring City and processed on the spot.

Ji Jue was shocked beyond words and couldn't understand: "Does it have to be such a big deal?"

"There's nothing we can do. No matter how good a lock is, it will be picked open someday. To ensure that there is no risk of error, it's better to deliberately make the opening of the door bigger so that anyone with eyes can see it and it won't be hidden."

Chen Haiqiu said to Ji Jue, "This is one of the outsourced contents. From now on, if such signs appear without receiving any notification, don't hesitate, call the Security Bureau immediately."

"I'm here to look after the door?" Ji Jue was at a loss.

"You are the closest to Quancheng and the most reliable."

Chen Haiqiu grinned, "You are already a party involved. In order to avoid any subsequent trouble, we need to outsource this part of the work to you.

But don't worry, it's just one of the procedures to ensure everything is safe, and you're not the only one watching.

Besides, there is nothing important in here. At best, it is just a trace left behind..."

As he spoke, his eyes moved and looked towards the air within the rift.

In the void, there was a crack that seemed like a dream and flashed with a strange rainbow light.

Once upon a time, the cracks left by Lu Changsheng from the present world...

"Pacquiao, no, that evildoer..."

At that moment, Ji Jue finally realized: "They came here just for this?"

Chen Haiqiu seemed distracted and remained silent. After a long while, he waited for Ji Jue to turn around before nodding and answering.

"Yes."

He said: "Many natural disasters in the world, even after they are over, often leave behind a lot of messy things, just like the residual files of malicious programs. Although they will gradually dissipate under the pressure of the world if left alone, there are always people who want to mess around."

Ji Jue frowned instantly: "They want to reopen the vortex?"

Now, I can’t help but feel a little scared and terrified.

He has already started planning to move again.

If he had known in advance that there were such hidden dangers in Quancheng, he would never have built the coast here. What's the difference between this and sitting on a bomb?
"Don't worry, that's not possible."

Chen Haiqiu sighed: "Those evil demons probably still have some hope.

However, even if he could get in, it would be a waste of effort. The seeds of the abyss here had completely lost their vitality under the suppression of Master Tao, and there was no possibility of them sprouting again.

Tao Gong has used himself as a wedge to completely eliminate all future troubles. In two years, even this trace will not be left. If Xinquan can prosper, sooner or later, this place will be under the jurisdiction of the law of the Heavenly Governor again. "

He patted Ji Jue on the shoulder: "But it's up to you."

"I'm not doing this for Mr. Tao." Ji Jue shook his head: "So you don't have to flatter me, right?"

"It is precisely because it is not for Lord Tao that she is even more admirable. Lu Zhenshou never makes the wrong choice of people. I have nothing to say about her vision."

Chen Haiqiu laughed, no longer hiding his admiration: "As the landlord, I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future. By the way, if you encounter that kind of evil person in the future, especially if they smell like sulfur or burning ashes, please be careful."

Ji Jue asked: "Do we need to take it down decisively?"

"No, don't do anything unnecessary, just notify the Security Bureau." Chen Haiqiu shook his head: "After all, situations involving evil demons are usually very dangerous. Workers like you..."

He got stuck halfway through his sentence.

He originally wanted to say that craftsmen like you should never deliver food, but after thinking carefully about the blood on Ji Jue's hands, the pile of corpses under his feet, the sins all over his body, and the low quality of Reconstructed Ashes, he felt that even if he met him, the dangerous one would be the evil demon!
"In short, just be careful and don't do anything rash."

He smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and left with Ji Jue.

However, before leaving, Ji Jue couldn't help but look back and take another look at the small crack behind him.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems to be even smaller than before.

Even if only a little.

In a quick glance, behind the strange and dazzling rainbow light crack, there seemed to be a dim flame that flickered silently, like a last ray of light, releasing the last ray of afterglow.

Then, it was completely extinguished and disappeared without a trace.

went out.

The door closed and they returned to the real world again.

After explaining the precautions, Chen Haiqiu didn't say anything else. After taking Ji Jue's ride back to Xinquan, he took another bus and left.

The troublesome task of cleaning up the aftermath was left to Ji Jue.

Ji Jue could only scratch his head and try to appease the employees who were panicking again because of the unusual noise just now.

What abnormal weather, electrical discharge, scientific wonder, physical phenomenon...

This is the first time I envy those experts on TV who speak without thinking.

The reason I suffer the most is that I read too many books!

Nowadays, I can hardly find any theoretical basis for my nonsense...

On the other side, after leaving Xinquan by car, Chen Haiqiu changed his clothes in Chaocheng and reopened a safe house disguised as a residential building.

Called the landline.

"Any results?" asked the person on the other end.

"It has been reconfirmed that the Abyss Seeds remaining in the Rift have been annihilated and cannot be rekindled." Chen Haiqiu said: "That evil demon should have gone for this."

"Besides that?" the person on the other end asked, "What about another thing?"

"There is no problem with Lu Zhenshou's guarantee."

Chen Haiqiu answered decisively: "Through the close contact at the scene, there was no reaction between Ji Jue and the Abyss Seed, so the possibility of a potential evil demon can be ruled out."

"That's great." The person on the other end seemed relieved.

Chen Haiqiu finally asked: "Should we continue the recruitment work?"

"Don't be in a hurry. If what Xiao Lu said is correct, that guy's personality might make him too lazy to pay attention to us locksmiths." The old man sighed and said, "Just watch for a while, observe for a long time, and get to know him slowly.

Such excellent wedges are becoming increasingly rare. "

"clear."

The phone was hung up and communication was cut off.

"Phew! It's done!"

At this moment, cheers rang out over the rainy sea.

On the drilling platform that was temporarily converted into the headquarters, excited smiles appeared on everyone's face, as if the ascetic practice was over.

It is indeed over.

Huge chains and giant hooks pulled the hundreds-meter-long corpse of a mermaid slowly rising from the sea, and finally piled up like a mountain on the drilling platform together with other corpses.

The last group of mermaids that broke into the federal coast were completely wiped out.

"Congratulations, plants."

Wen Wen tilted her head and lit the last white star: "After finishing this, you will take over as the person in charge of Zhongtu, right?"

"Don't laugh at me."

Tong Shan, who was also covered in blood, shook his head and sighed, leaning on the railing not far away. After days of fierce fighting, he didn't even have the strength to wipe off the blood.

"I was staying at home peacefully, but was kicked out and had to find my own way out. The friction in that damn place called Middle-earth has been getting more and more serious in the past two years. I don't know how big the chaos will be."

"The more capable you are, the more work you should do. The Middle Earth is a pretty good place. You can beat anyone who disobeys you. No one will care." Wen Wen took out a bottle of wine from her arms and drank it for a while. She sighed, "I would like to trade with you, but unfortunately, I can only retreat to the second line..."

Tong Shan glanced at her and said, "Didn't the doctor tell you to stop drinking and smoking?"

Wen Wen sneered and asked, "Didn't your family ask you to find someone to go on a blind date?"

"..." Tong Shan was silent for a moment.

Originally only one person was unhappy, but now everyone is unhappy.

Or maybe my sister didn't play enough...

Have another meal before going out!

After a long while, he sighed softly, "What do you think is going on with this inexplicable turmoil? Those mermaids wouldn't just run around for no reason, right?"

Can't resist changing the subject?!

Wen Wen laughed out loud and answered casually, "Didn't they say it was probably an active volcano erupting? The temperature of the sea water has risen much faster this year than in previous years, so the foraging period has come earlier. They must be starving, right?"

"Well, maybe."

Tong Shan lowered his head and looked down at the dark green and scarlet sea water. "I just feel a little weird."

"Huh?" Wen Wen was puzzled.

"Obviously, he's gone mad..."

Tong Shan lowered his eyes, staring at the remains of the mermaid and the distorted expression on her face: "Why does she look like she's running away?"

No one answered.

Only in the howling wind, the drizzle suddenly became heavier.

A storm is coming.
