Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 202 Nemo point cast!
There are several Buddhist-themed murals hanging on the walls here. The Buddha statues in the paintings are solemn and majestic, surrounded by golden lotus and auspicious clouds, symbolizing good luck and wisdom.

The office floor is covered with hand-woven rattan mats, which are soft and comfortable to walk on.

In the corner of the room, there is a gilded Buddha statue with a few incense sticks burning in front of it. The faint scent of sandalwood fills the entire room.

The bookshelves are filled with hardcover books and Southeast Asian-style handicrafts, such as ivory carvings, silverware and crystal ornaments, each of which looks exquisite and rich in cultural heritage.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Wan Nuo walked in.

He was in his forties, wearing a loose linen shirt embroidered with traditional peacock patterns, which made him look casual yet dignified.

His skin is a healthy bronze color, his eyes are deep and slightly majestic, and there is a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, giving people a feeling that is both friendly and elusive.

Then Wan Nuo took the lead in putting his hands together, bowed slightly and smiled:

"Mr. Gong, the last time we met was at the Yanan Seven Nations Summit. You look much better than then. Please take a seat."

Then Wan Nuo sat down in the main seat next to him. Behind him was a large floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could see palm trees, banana leaves and bright orchids complementing each other. The sunlight shone through the leaves, adding a bit of brightness to the room.

Gong Yunyan also returned the greeting with a folded hand, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Wannuo, excuse me. This is my son Gong Mingzhen. I want to visit you today and give you a small gift to express our Gong family's gratitude for your care."

As he spoke, he signaled the assistant behind him to place an exquisite gift box on Wan Nuo's desk. Inside the gift box was an exquisitely carved four-faced Buddha, made of gold inlaid with jade. The jade was warm and the carving was delicate, obviously worth a lot of money.

Wan Nuo took a look at the gift box, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Gong is too polite. I can't accept this gift."

Gong Yunyan waved his hand and said sincerely, "Vice Chairman Wan, you are too kind. This is just a small token of our Gong family's appreciation. Please accept it."

Gong Tianwu stood behind his father, acting like a shy teenager. He lowered his head, folded his hands in front of him, occasionally raised his eyes to peek at Wan Nuo, and then quickly lowered his head, looking reserved and shy.

His behavior completely fits the image of a rich young man who is ignorant of the ways of the world, and there is no sign of his inner calmness or calculation at all.

Wan Nuo's gaze lingered on Gong Tianwu for a moment, and he asked with a smile:

"This must be your son, right? He is indeed a handsome man."

Gong Yunyan smiled and patted Gong Tianwu on the shoulder:

"Yeah, this kid doesn't usually like to talk, so today I brought him out to see the world."

Gong Tianwu raised his head slightly, showing a shy smile, and said softly:
"Hello, Mr. Wan."

Wan Nuo nodded, with a hint of elder's kindness in his tone:

"As a young man, it's a good thing to go out more often."

Although he only glanced at the gifts brought by the Gong family, Wan Nuo had already decided to accept them - if he didn't eat the meat that was already in his mouth, wouldn't he be a fool?
However, Wan Nuo had no intention of helping the Gong family overcome their current difficulties. Being thick-skinned and black-hearted is a basic trait of politicians.

In the next ten minutes or so, Gong Yunyan and Wan Nuo exchanged a few pleasantries, and the topic always revolved around some insignificant trivial matters, and they never mentioned the current predicament of the Gong family.

Although Wan Nuo was confused, he didn't dare to bring it up, so he could only continue the conversation along with Gong Yunyan's topic.

Soon Gong Tianwu suddenly said softly:

"Dad, I need to go to the bathroom."

Gong Yunyan nodded, speaking in a gentle tone:

"Go ahead, don't run around."

Gong Tianwu responded, turned around and left the office.

He walked briskly, with a shy smile on his face, as if he was just a naive boy. Then his secretary took him there.

However, as soon as there was no one around, Gong Tianwu's eyes immediately became cold and deep.

He took out the plum blossom-sized crystal jade bell from his bosom - Saint Luo Yun. The bell trembled slightly in his palm, and a faint halo appeared on the surface, as if responding to his call.

Gong Tianwu closed his eyes and communicated silently with Sheng Luo Yun with his mind, and the object then made an ethereal and crisp sound.

The voice seemed to come from the heavens, and also seemed to come from the depths of the heart, with an indescribable purity and clarity.

It is like a breeze, gently blowing past your ears, and like a clear spring, slowly flowing through your heart.

Only those who have obtained permission from Gong Tianwu can hear this sound. Otherwise, even if they are close at hand, they will not be able to hear anything.

As Saint Luo Yun's voice echoed in the air, an invisible force quietly infiltrated into Wan Nuo's office.

Wan Nuo was talking with Gong Yunyan when he suddenly heard a crisp bell sound in his ears, as if it had completely cleansed his brain.

In an instant, Wan Nuo felt extremely comfortable, his mind was clear and his whole body was cleansed.

The next second, his thoughts were gradually guided, and his original good impression of the Gong family was infinitely magnified, and he even had a strong urge - he wanted to help the Gong family and become their ally.

Gong Tianwu put away Sheng Luo Yun and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He knew clearly that the plan had succeeded.

Next, all we have to do is wait for Wannuo to lend a helping hand.

He adjusted his collar, regained his shy boyish demeanor, and slowly walked back to the corridor.

Although Wan Nuo couldn't show it on the surface at this time, he had actually been completely influenced by Sheng Luo Yun's power, and his attitude towards the Gong family had undergone a drastic change.

After arriving at the gate, Gong Yunyan finally couldn't help it and whispered to Gong Tianwu:

"Tianwu, how is it?"

Gong Tianwu smiled confidently and was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Wan Nuo's confidential secretary jogging out and said breathlessly:
"Please wait a moment, Chairman Gong, sir, please go back for a moment."

Gong Tianwu gave his father a confident look:

"It's done."

Soon, the power of Saint Luo Yun was demonstrated. Wan Nuo quickly took action before dinner that day and successfully suppressed the storm caused by Councillor Ge Luo. Not only that, after receiving the support of Wan Nuo, the big boss, the Gong family's business won two big orders in a row, and the group immediately showed a thriving trend.

After finishing all this, Gong Tianwu looked at the remaining seal on Saint Luo Yun, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he said softly:
"It's time to deal with you."

***
the next morning,
Gong Tianwu opened his eyes with some difficulty.
Then he was suddenly startled to find that he was not lying at home. After looking around in shock, his eyes stopped on the words "Eight Days Chain" next to him.

"Damn it, how did I end up in a hotel chain?"

Then, a very impatient and tired voice came from the side:
"Are you annoying? You made such a fuss last night. What are you doing again so early in the morning?"

Gong Tianwu turned his head in confusion and found a girl sleeping next to him. She was glaring at him fiercely and there were a few freckles on her nose.

After a few seconds, Gong Tianwu came back to his senses. Isn't this the girl selling cendol? Why is she naked? Wait!
At this moment, the girl noticed Gong Tianwu's gaze and immediately misunderstood what he meant. She immediately pulled up the bed sheet to cover her chest and said coldly:
"You only gave me one thousand last night. If you want more now, you must pay extra."

What else could Gong Tianwu say at this time? He knew that he must have been tricked by his younger brother, and that his younger brother actually knew how to use his money to pick up girls.

This is the loss of humanity and the distortion of morality!
He got up quickly, put on his clothes and left. What else could he do? Was he really going to stay for another round?

After a busy period, Gong Tianwu used his father's connections, boarded an ocean-going ship, arrived at the center of the ocean, and then slowly anchored there.

It can be seen that the weather is very bad at this time, and there is the boundless Pacific Ocean all around, the sea water is surging in the strong wind, as if an angry beast is roaring.

However, the ship that Gong Tianwu was riding on was a specially made scientific research vessel, which was very sturdy. Therefore, although it swayed with the waves, it seemed stable, giving it a sense of "let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills."

However, the place where Gong Tianwu is anchored does not look much different from the rest of the ocean, but in terms of geographical location, it is unique on the earth.

Because this is Point Nemo, the loneliest place on Earth. It is nearly 2700 kilometers away from the nearest land. There is nothing around it except the deep blue sea. It is so barren that even large marine life is lacking.

Strictly speaking, after arriving at Point Nemo, the humans closest to you are the astronauts in the space station 500 kilometers above your head - and you have to go there at a specific time, otherwise they will drift away.

After staying here for about half a day, the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, thunder rolled in the clouds, and lightning flashed in the darkness like silver snakes, as if to tear the whole world apart.

Gong Tianwu slowly walked to the top of the research vessel, took a deep breath, and felt the power of thunder and lightning in the air.

The Way of the Supreme Being in the Sea of ​​Consciousness:
"This place is far from human habitation, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant. Especially now that it is thundering and raining, you can start now."

Then Gong Tianwu took out the crystal jade bell the size of a plum blossom from his arms - Sheng Luo Yun.

The surface of the bell glowed faintly, and the patterns inside appeared particularly clear under the reflection of lightning.

Gong Tianwu stared at it, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He knew that Saint Luo Yun's power was far more than that, and the existence of the seal limited its true power.

"it's time."

Gong Tianwu muttered to himself, then sat down cross-legged and placed Sheng Luo Yun in the palm of his hand.

He closed his eyes and chanted a spell silently. The spiritual energy in his body slowly flowed and resonated with the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.

The Azure Dragon eliminates disasters, the Black and Yellow Dragon protects the sun.

The shadow of the immortal appears, illuminating the ten directions

The Seven Qis are in charge of the records, and the Purple Chamber is clearly listed

Protect your health and prolong your life, bring you longevity and happiness

The true light of truth will bless you and eliminate the evil

Hey!! Meng Zhang returns to his position, Qinglong breaks the deadlock as fast as the law!

Gong Tianwu's voice was particularly clear amid the thunder. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a faint green light appeared at his fingertips.

As he chanted the spell, the dark clouds in the sky began to roll violently, and seven bright starlights penetrated the clouds, shooting down and enveloping Gong Tianwu.

The seven rays of starlight were the power of the Seven Stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon - Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji. Each ray of starlight contained an ancient and powerful star power, and they intertwined together to form a huge column of light that completely enveloped Gong Tianwu and Sheng Luo Yun.

Saint Luo Yun trembled slightly in the starlight, and the halo on its surface gradually became brighter.

Gong Tianwu felt a strong resistance coming from the bell. It was the power of the seal resisting the erosion of the star power. He clenched his teeth, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he did not relax the seal in his hands.

"Break!" Gong Tianwu shouted, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly burst out and merged with the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars. The starlight instantly became more dazzling, as if it was going to illuminate the entire Nemo Point.

Saint Luo Yun made a crisp sound in the starlight, and the crimson seal on the surface actually floated directly into the air, forming an illusion of a Tai Chi diagram, which was the core of the seal.

Gong Tianwu had reached this step before, but unfortunately he was stuck here. The core of the seal was very abnormal, and it was as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit.

At the same time, it can continuously absorb the vitality of nearby creatures to replenish itself, so it is very difficult to deal with and has amazing durability.

What’s even more terrible is that it is like a ringing alarm bell, notifying the members of the Xutong Organization to come to the rescue.

Therefore, Gong Tianwu had failed in all his previous attempts.

But now, Gong Tianwu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said softly:
"Come on, suck it again! Come and ask me for help!!"

Sure enough, after this time, the replenishment of Saint Luo Yun's seal core was sharply reduced. After all, the special environment of Nemo Point was really too unfriendly to it.

As for asking for help, that's even more impossible. Even Gong Tianwu can only travel back and forth, so what can those damn members of the Void Eye Organization do to save him? Don't even think about it.

Soon, the patterns on the crimson seal began to disintegrate due to erosion, and the power of the seal was dissipated bit by bit.

Thunder roared overhead and lightning struck continuously, as if assisting the ceremony.

Gong Tianwu's clothes were soaked by the rain and stuck to his body, but his body was as steady as a rock, without any hesitation. His mind was completely immersed in the process of removing the seal, as if he had merged with the world.

As time passed, the halo on the surface of Saint Luo Yun became brighter and brighter, and the power of the seal gradually weakened. Finally, in a series of crisp cracking sounds, the root of the last seal was completely broken.

Saint Luo Yun made an ethereal and long sound.

Gong Tianwu slowly opened his eyes, and the Sheng Luo Yun in his hand had been completely renewed.
