Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 297 Neos's Awareness
Inside the palace, the guard approached the king's bedroom again to report the situation outside.

When he reached the door, he suddenly heard the sound of something being smashed and the king's furious roar.

"Tell them I want wine!"

The human guard officer paused, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated sweating profusely under the mocking gaze of the dwarf guards.

Inside the bedroom, a crystal chandelier hung from the dark ceiling of unknown material, and the cold white light illuminated the dark red solid wood round table underneath.

A dwarf sat in the center of the round table.

There were four unclear figures sitting at the round table.

Darkness permeated the room, interweaving with the dim lights, creating a hazy and gloomy atmosphere.

The light shone into the deepest part of the room, and one could vaguely see iron pillars covered with barbs and blood.

They stood upright and overlapped, forming a fence, as if trapping some vicious beast.

Inside this iron cage covered with hideous barbs and blood, there is a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, emitting a faint blue light.

The dwarf sitting in the middle of the round table held a bloody object in his hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and his throat kept rolling, as if he was enduring hunger.

What he was holding was half a severed palm.

The fingers were rosy in color and were still moving slightly, maintaining strong activity.

The dwarf finally couldn't bear it anymore, stuffed the severed hand into his mouth and started chewing it.

"A little less..."

"It's too little, I want more!"

The dwarf chewed and made a sound like a wild beast guarding its food.

The four figures did not move, but just watched quietly.

The dwarf grabbed the wine jug beside him and poured the scarlet liquid directly into his mouth.

"Too little, too little!" The dwarf's stomach seemed like an abyss that could never be filled, and he became even hungrier.

He stood up suddenly and pushed away the mess of cups and plates on the table.

"Why is it so little!" he roared.

The four standing and sitting figures remained motionless.

Mingming had just finished eating a table full of delicacies from land and sea. The rich food piled up like a mountain, emitting an enticing aroma.

But the dwarf could not quench the hunger burning like a flame in his heart, and his eyes revealed a crazy scarlet.

His fat body was trembling slightly, his muscles tense, as if ready to pounce on the people around him at any time.

This contradictory state is chilling, as if the person in front of you is no longer a normal human being, but a monster possessed by a hungry demon.

"I want to eat, I want to eat more!"

"Whatever it is, bring it to me!"

The four figures kept swaying, as if they were laughing.

Compared to the dwarves on the table, they are more like patient diners, waiting for the food to mature.

In a courtyard on the west side of Gushan Mountain, Chu Xuan stood on the balcony, overlooking the entire Gushan City.

"Gushan." Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Neos walked out from behind him and said, "Chu Xuan, don't you realize that something is wrong here?"

"Chaotic administration, lazy soldiers, and hungry civilians."

"Arrogant and unsociable elves, resentful humans at the bottom of society, and dwarves brainwashed by the desire for power."

"A dwarf king who only cares about pleasure and not the people's livelihood."

"And the prevailing atmosphere of defeatism and despair."

"I don't know how I've been able to hold on to this place until now."

"I'm afraid there is only one reason, and that is that the forces of Chaos deliberately allowed this to happen."

Neos took Gunnir, dressed up a little, and walked across half of Lonely Mountain. From various signs and events, he could clearly draw this conclusion.

The Lonely Mountain was doomed, or rather, it should have been doomed long ago. The three races were mixed together, with the dwarves occupying the main positions and the distribution of supplies.

The elves are indifferent by nature and occupy the Survey Corps, the only military force that can go out.

Only humans are the largest in number, but they have nothing and belong to the bottom of the society.

At the same time, the kingdom suppressed civilians with harsh laws, oppressed civilians with the fear of external enemies, and intimidated civilians with a cruel army.

There has been no explosion so far, which only shows that the people of Gushan are very patient.

Chu Xuan showed a cold smile: "I'm glad that you are the first person to come to me."

"Nios, you are a qualified wise man."

"My other teammates seemed so relaxed that they didn't even notice such an obvious problem."

Hearing these words, the proud Neos did not feel much joy at being recognized.

He could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction and said calmly: "There must be the influence of Chaos here."

"It's very likely that some of the higher-ups have been corrupted."

Chu Xuan shook his head and pointed at the panoramic view of the lonely mountain: "Nios, you always look up, but ignore the power at the bottom."

"There are so many minions of Chaos here, so many spies from Mordor and Gondor, and even so many monsters that have transformed into human form."

Neos's resentment began to slowly dissipate. He looked in the direction Chu Xuan pointed and asked uncertainly, "One tenth?"

"Even if the Lonely Mountain is incompetent, with Gandalf the White-robed Wizard suppressing it, it won't be corrupted by too much Chaos power."

"Do not."

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and said calmly, "The answer is, at least half."

Neos's brows furrowed, and he exclaimed, "Impossible."

"If there were even half the minions of Chaos, how could Lonely Mountain still be in its current state?"

But seeing Chu Xuan's calm and confident look, Neos began to doubt whether there was something he had not taken into account.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "How different is the current Gushan from a seriously ill, dying person?"

"Haven't you noticed? In recent years, the original founders of Lonely Mountain have been excluded from the center of power one by one. Just now, we didn't even meet the true master of Lonely Mountain."

Neos, who was worthy of the wisdom of a mortal, figured it out instantly.

Legolas and Gimli left, the elf commander Grace was exiled, and Gandalf was busy like a paperhanger.

And Thorin, is he the source of everything?

No, there must be someone hiding in the dark manipulating everything!
"Chu Xuan, how come you were able to come up with results so quickly when you didn't even collect any clues?" Neos was puzzled again. Chu Xuan made his judgment purely based on deduction, wasn't that analysis?
Isn’t this very dangerous?
Of course, he didn't know about Chu Xuan's spiritual light.

As long as you set a question in the cause and effect game, you can know the answer directly.

After entering Lonely Mountain, the question he set was whether this place was controlled by the influence of Chaos.

The answer is half and half.

No investigation is needed, no clues are needed. As long as it does not involve some high-level secret existence, the accuracy of his information is infinitely close to 100%.

The ability of this BUG is the ultimate dream of all wise men.

If it could only be used once a day, Chu Xuan would be an omniscient god.

"You cannot understand the wisdom of mortals." Chu Xuan's truth made Neos' face gloomy again.

Neos said indignantly, "Since you had already made your judgment, why didn't we rush in and take over this place?"

"I think no one in Gushan can stop the Zhongzhou team now."

"Rash advance."

Chu Xuan turned his head and looked towards the direction of the palace. He said calmly, "We have to give them time to let the incident ferment."

"This will make it easier to eradicate all the cancer at once."

"Give Lonely Mountain a new lease of life."
