The Spirit World

Chapter 90: The Sound of Bees

"Damn, did I fail?" he asked. The laser gun in his hand began to shake. His right hand could not support himself. Looking at these almost retro streets, marble almost filled the entire city, except for the familiar building in front of him. It was a completely metal building. Even on a different street corner, he could feel the completely familiar feeling coming from the building. Of course, if he hadn't seen that logo, perhaps he would have continued to guess. He took a look at the logo and was actually a little dazed. The circular logo of Downton Technology was bound on the glass on the 23rd floor of the building.

He was waiting here for Sanshi to come back. As a warrior with little life experience, waiting might be the best option. This was their last time traveling through time and space, but this extremely unreliable thing still made him a little unbelievable after traveling through time and space four times. He had been to the false space created by mechanical monsters, which was almost exactly the same as this world. Therefore, he doubted the falsity here even more. The machines of the Bronze Jade Clan were actually laser beams when using the so-called "spiritual power" and "magic", which was so fake that it couldn't be more fake.

"Big-headed soldier! Stop looking! Let's go find my grandfather now, he should have a way." Pylos III put the apple in his hand. In fact, he could only catch it slowly, so the apple fell to the ground. He put away his gun and put the apple in.

"Put these on, this is the universal clothing of this era." The Third World threw him a piece of clothing. It was a black wizard robe. It was simple but had the logo of the Rastar Specialty Store on it. It looked like it should not be cheap.

"Are we going to look for your grandfather now? Are you sure this is the hundred years ago as you said?" He shrunk his armor and took it off. Because of the damage to his right hand, he sighed with some pain when he put on the black robe.

"No, it is now the year 2026 in the Principality. We must go back to 2041, which is when the war will take place."

"What? 15 years too early?" The robes covered the faces of the three generations. They were now like those high-level wizards who were unwilling to show their faces, without revealing their true faces.

"Don't worry. We can't change history with our power... Grandpa's diary records that on November 2026, 11, the princess was attacked by a mysterious man. That was the advance fuse of the war. A series of events later were more or less caused by it." The Third put his hands on his slender waist: "I asked, today is November 5, before night falls, we must go to the Downton Technology Building, and the princess is inside now. We should not be able to prevent the princess from being kidnapped, but we can discuss the follow-up plan with Grandpa."

"why?"

"Because the person who kidnapped the princess is too powerful! Come and see for yourself! What you call, doesn't exist! Magic and spiritual power!" The Third World and he were running around the outer layer of the Downton Technology Building. The place was indeed heavily guarded. The guards were already holding new magic guns and were on full alert watching all visitors outside the Downton Technology Building.

"..." He put his left hand on his right hand. He had no way to use the gun at a high intensity, so this was a good thing for him. Although he didn't know whether what this seemingly nonsense girl said was true or false, at least she had no intention of lying to him now.

They walked to the Downton Technology Building. The III took out a white card, swiped it on the password door, and entered the basement in front of everyone.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go!"

"..."

【Downton Technology Building, basement level】

"Your Highness, this is the safest place in all of Rastar. It will definitely protect your safety." A young man in a white coat tapped on an information CNC screen. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had a very stylish black short hair. He looked at the screen and continued, "This place is equipped with magic interference stones. Even a master-level wizard must walk with his head down when he comes in."

"Hey, Tang Zilong, stop bragging about your crappy invention in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I, Pylos, am still the greatest archaeologist! What did I say?" The man with flowing blond hair and a cowboy hat spread his hands and looked at Tang Zilong with some pride.

"Isn't it because of my invention that you can do archaeology in peace?" Tang Zilong threw something into Pylos's hand and continued typing on the keyboard.

"Stop bragging! Isn't it our invincible Skarner that you rely on? How can those broken things of yours compare with magic?" Sparrow looked at the thing in his hand. A small white snake was spitting out its tongue and looking at him angrily in the glass bottle.

"what!"

"Hahahahaha, archaeologists who are afraid of snakes may not be able to go to many places." Tang Zilong smiled and turned the screen to the princess. The princess was smiling. There was only a cowboy hat and a bottle containing a white snake left in Pylos's place. He stood behind a man in a black windbreaker, trembling with fear. The man in the black windbreaker shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Your Majesty, this is something I developed. I call it the Queen Bee. Once I have perfected the system, I can invest it in all aspects of Lastal, whether it's agriculture or smelting. It can greatly increase production capacity and will definitely be of great help." Tang Zilong's eyes were shining as he slid the screen, showing all the information to the princess bit by bit.

The princess looked at the screen and tried to click on it herself. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mr. Tang Zilong, your design is very similar to the magic detection technique. It can observe the situation in many places."

"Your Highness, this is not magic, this is technology! This is something that can be used by humans without magic or spiritual power. I discovered it from the ancient ruins of the Bronze Jade Clan, and it will definitely help the Principality gain powerful benefits in the future."

"So, all this is my credit, right? I was the one who discovered the remains of the Tongyu Clan!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Pylos is really awesome." The princess relaxed a little. She looked at Tang Zilong with squinted eyes and smiled: "Then I'll have to ask Mr. Tang to improve this convenient system--" Her stunning face and his gentle voice can really give people extraordinary pleasure.

Tang Zilong nodded, turned the screen to the right side, and said with a cough: "Ahem, Zilong will definitely not let your highness down!"

But soon, his brows furrowed. He looked at Pylos, who was already adjusting his cowboy hat, and asked in confusion: "Pylos! Where is the highest order card I gave you?"

Pylos was startled by the shouting. Everyone looked at him. He took out a white card from his pocket and asked in confusion: "What's this? What's wrong?"

"Strange, someone used your card to open the basement door!"

"No way? My card is here!"

"I'll use the surveillance system to bring the footage over!" Tang Zilong frowned, looking at the picture on the screen in confusion. Two people in black robes were walking quickly in the corridor, and one could see that the person in front had beautiful blonde hair sticking out of his robe.

"who are they?"

"Didn't the alarm go off?" Pylos came over and looked at the two people on the screen in confusion. "Highest Order Card! Alarm!" Tang Zilong cursed: "Are you sure it's not your Highest Order Card? It's recorded that you opened the door!"

"It definitely wasn't me! The card you gave me is here! How could I lose it?" Pylos looked towards the position of the man in the black windbreaker, but there was no one there.

"Skarner has gone, please activate the alarm system and defense devices!" Pylos picked up a small firearm and quickly stood beside the princess. The princess stood calmly, staring at the direction of the door.

"This... is a bit too hasty! Tang Zilong! A blank card has left you at a loss." Sweat seeped out of Pylos' face bit by bit. If something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'm afraid we will all be dead!
"The swordsmen and the psychic troops are waiting outside the door! And these two people have no spiritual power or magic detected at all! The key point now is whether your white card is good! Did you lose it?"

"I told you it's not lost! Seriously, you bastard, I have to take it out and show it to you a few times before you will believe me!"

The princess looked at the two anxious people. She knew very well that if she was not here, they might not be so nervous.

"Please stop arguing. The most urgent thing is to find out the identities of these two uninvited guests. Please cooperate with us!"

【Dongyu Bailing Mountain】

The frost on Bailing Mountain lasted for two days, and it was sunny all the time afterwards. When we left the secret room, the sunset quickly disappeared in the evening, leaving only the starless night sky.

On the steps of the Heavenly Department, Lin'er sat there alone, her thin body looking even smaller in the dark. She was wearing an unusual red-sleeved dress, and a white plum blossom hairpin on her head that was somewhat bright against the light. She used her hair to separate into two strands to cover her right forehead with the plum blossom mark. She hugged her legs and stared blankly at the steps below, her eyes lifeless and powerless.

The scenes in her dreams came one after another, leaving her no way to escape. Whether it was herself ten years ago or ten years later, she could not escape the fear in her heart. Her natural optimism and happiness seemed so insignificant.

For the first time, the fragments of memory slowly opened up, and the shadow of this person entangled herself around her and began to linger again. How much she didn't want that memory. She would rather die than be in that period of time.

Those eyes, those eyebrows, she could never forget them.

Why should she make him remember this nightmare that belonged to her?

"What's wrong? Are you still sad about this?" A voice came. She was still hugging her legs tightly, just looking at the boy who had already sat down.

"We in Wenti County hate fires the most. If something unexpected happens because of this, I think everyone will be very distressed... This world is so dangerous, and you may die if you are not careful. It's really disturbing..."

"..."Lin'er ignored him. She kept looking at the stairs below. Occasionally someone passed by there and disappeared quickly.

"Isn't it? I've also encountered those people who kill for money before. They are even more brutal than those robbers and kidnappers in ancient times who killed and robbed people! Fortunately, I was smart and was able to escape. It was the same in Wenti County. The year I served as a guide, I encountered the terrifying Shadow Hunter for the first time. Fortunately, with the help of a wind elf, I led the team to escape. I was really scared!" He was also looking at the steps below without looking at him. He put his hands on his knees, as if he was going to have a long talk: "Many times, I wondered, in addition to being more dangerous than our world, what else is better than our world? Magic, spiritual power, Taoism, orcs, and various races are just the reproduction of our world one by one. Greedy people, lustful people, immoral people, unscrupulous people, kind people, innocent people, hard-working people, all exist in this world. We came to this world accidentally. We can't say we are lucky, but we will not be unlucky after all, because we are still moving towards a better life, even though we almost experienced death three days ago, and for me, it is almost becoming commonplace..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin'er, who looked at him sadly. She tried to shrink everything about herself into a ball, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed. Those eyes were like stars, shining in his heart.

"Chang Yufeng..."

"what happened?"

"I might need to get out of here..." She said and buried her head again.

"Did the chief steward tell you anything? Or is it your own idea?"

"..."

After a long time, she responded. He looked at the girl who had traveled to this world with him. Now she was like a skinny kitten who needed comfort from others.

"No, I feel that I need to leave you. Only in this way can I feel at peace..."

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No...you didn't..." Her voice was very soft.
A white bird returned to its nest in the darkness like a star.

"Then...can you tell me why you want to leave too?"

"..."

"Is that so...even I can't tell you..." He looked at the bird preening its feathers. In the darkness, with the help of the lamplight, the bird was so bright.

"Well then... I wish you a safe journey..." He said: "My friend..."
