Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

In Li Ang's view, Jingzhe is not the type who is good at close combat. If he can get close to Jingzhe's side, it is possible to succeed with one blow. However, Li Ang has no idea why in this situation described by Sangpai.

This looks like it was attacked in two completely different ways.

Jingzhe fell down without warning, possibly due to a mental attack. This Origin Stone technique is very concealed and extremely difficult to defend against, but the wounds that appeared out of thin air on Jingzhe's chest and abdomen were left by something unknown. .

The shape of the wound does not look like it was caused by a sharp blade, but rather like the traces left after a sore has healed. The edge of the wound is very smooth. Although a large piece of flesh and blood is lost, the internal organs are not damaged at all.

"I will investigate this matter myself. Just stay here and continue to take care of Mr. Tingwei."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang stopped thinking about these issues and said to Sang Bao, "I have an unconscious patient here. Please help take care of him."

It's just one more person to take care of. It's not a heavy workload, and Sangmi doesn't care too much. Seeing that Li Ang seemed to want to leave, she quickly asked, "Wait a minute, Lord Si Zhi, when can I leave here?"

"After Sir Tingwei wakes up, you can naturally leave." Li Ang replied, "You can stay here peacefully during this period. It is very safe here and no one will disturb you. If there is any accident, remember to be there in time Tell this...Miss Xi, and she will help you solve it."

Hearing Li Ang call her name, Xi looked at Sang Bao, nodded to her very coldly, and then withdrew his gaze.

After arranging the mulberries, Li Ang went out again, dug out the Originium reactor buried deep in the ground, and gave it to Xi along with a large pile of Originium crystals.

Xi has an ability similar to that of creation in the world in the painting. Although there are many restrictions, it is still possible to connect the reactor to the dismantled secret room. In this way, the final energy supply problem is also solved, and then All you have to do is wait for Jingzhe to wake up.

After that, Li Ang returned to the ruins of the courtyard again, found a corner, and wrote three words on the ruins with the ink Xi gave him.

As soon as Li Ang finished writing, the words slowly penetrated into the brick wall and disappeared completely. There was no difference on the surface.

However, Li Ang has left their next destination in a way that only the Sui Beast incarnation can understand.

Tianyue City is the city that is suspected to have the tomb of the Han Dynasty.

As for the two people who were marked with fluctuations, Li Ang ignored them.

No matter which one of them is the spy, his life is already under Li Ang's control, and the next time they meet again will be their death.

"Tianyue City... I don't know what arrangements the Tianshi Mansion has there."

Chapter 40 The Candle Holder

"Captain Zhou, I'm very sorry, I didn't find anything wrong with you,"

Inside the camp, the military doctor said apologetically, "My abilities are limited. If you feel there is something wrong, Lieutenant, I suggest you report this matter to the general and see if you can find a better doctor through the general. "

"...No need, there is no need to bother the General with such a small matter."

Captain Zhou's heart sank a little, and he said calmly, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it. It's an exaggeration for a mere thief who appears out of nowhere to be able to reach the level of a grandmaster." , I don’t believe how powerful his magic skills are, how come there are so many monsters in this world.”

"Anyway, he is a Grandmaster after all, so Lieutenant Colonel, you should be careful."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Captain Zhou nodded and replied.

Afterwards, he got some medicine to treat bruises from the military doctor, got up and left the camp.

Except for the unknown light at the end, Captain Zhou's injuries were not serious. He just broke an arm. He could recover as before after a little rest.

"...It's troublesome." Captain Zhou sighed.

His life was at stake, so he would not be so naive as to think that it was just his illusion. This time he was really in trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Captain Zhou returned to his residence, drafted a letter, and handed it to his superiors.

"You mean, you want to take advantage of this period of recuperation to go back to your hometown and have a look?"

"Yes,"

Since one arm was still hanging in front of his chest, Colonel Zhou could not salute, so he could only bow slightly and said, "General, I haven't been home for six or seven years, and now I have suffered a lot." I am injured, and I am just an idler in the army, so I want to go home and have a look at it at this time, and I ask the general for permission."

"...sure."

The general agreed to Captain Zhou's request without thinking for too long. After all, he had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, General." Captain Zhou showed a smile on his face.

"Nothing, that's what it should be." The general waved his hand, "Colonel Zhou, I remember your hometown is... Tianyue City? That's really a good place..."

At the same time, Gou Wu Mansion went inside.

"What did you say? He is missing?" Magistrate Gou Wu's exclamation almost penetrated the roof of the government office.

A minute ago, he heard horrifying news from his close confidant.

The Minister of Dali Temple who was injured and fell into a coma...she disappeared.

"Master Prefect, your body..."

But before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Magistrate Gou Wu.

"It does not matter!"

Although their official positions, including the minister of Dali Temple and the magistrate of Gou Wu, were both of the fourth rank, their importance was not equal at all.

After decades of hard work, he had basically reached the end of his climb to the position of prefect. He no longer had any enterprising spirit and just wanted to stay in this position until retirement.

Even if Jingzhe is demoted now, her disappearance in Gouwucheng is definitely not a small matter.

"Let's go! I want to see what's going on."

Magistrate Gou Wu had long expected that the hospital might not be safe, so after completing the initial treatment, he moved the Dali Temple minister to an extremely secret place. Only a few people, including him, knew the specific location. , but now...she is missing?

Could it be that the little girl who had sex leaked the news?But it shouldn't be... He thought that he could read people very accurately, and how did she pass on the message when the communication tools were confiscated?

While thinking about what happened, Magistrate Gou Wu endured the slight pain coming from his body and walked quickly to a basement located below the government office.

In the basement, Magistrate Gou Wu dug out a magic device from behind a stone brick on the wall. After complicated identity authentication, a dark hole was opened in the center of the basement leading downwards.

Although you know that this place exists, he is the only one who can open this passage, the prefect.

This can be regarded as his last resort when encountering war.

When Magistrate Gou Wu arrived at the secret place, he doubted his own eyes.

"Am...am I crazy?"

It was good that the Minister of Dali Temple had disappeared, but Magistrate Gou Wu didn't expect that even his safe house had disappeared.

All he could see now were the two unconscious guards and the smooth, mirror-like sections on the surrounding walls.

This... what happened?Magistrate Gou Wu felt a little stupid.

After returning to the government office in a daze, it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

Soon, Magistrate Gou Wu called his cronies again.

"Pass my order to immediately block Gouwucheng. No one will be allowed to leave the city without my permission."

With that said, Magistrate Gou Wu took out a portrait and handed it to his cronies, "Also, quickly pass this man's portrait to the general and ask him to search for this man throughout the city. He must not be allowed to escape!"

Just when the confidant was finishing the portrait and preparing to leave, he suddenly looked behind Magistrate Gou Wu blankly.

"Sir! Behind you!!"

Magistrate Gou Wu turned around subconsciously, and he actually saw a man whose whole body was covered in shadow not far behind him.

"Who are you!?" Magistrate Gou Wu stepped back in panic and wanted to shout for help.

But before he could shout, he felt an invisible force enveloping him. Now even if he wanted to shout, he couldn't make a sound at all.

Just when Magistrate Gou Wu was feeling desperate, he suddenly heard the man standing in the shadows say, "Master Magistrate, please don't panic. I am Sisitai Zhuzhuren. I have important matters to discuss with Lord Magistrate." , please forgive me for coming here without warning this time."

As he said that, a waist card was thrown over by the man.

After taking the badge and looking at it, Magistrate Gou Wu's panic gradually calmed down. It was indeed an identity badge created by the imperial court, and he had indeed heard of the Si Suitai organization.

It is said that a few decades ago, Si Suitai was still a subordinate of the Ministry of Rites, but some kind of huge disaster occurred at that time, which made Si Suitai independent from the Ministry of Rites.

In recent years, Si Suitai's voice in the court has become louder and louder, and he seems to want to ride on the head of the Ministry of Rites. However, Magistrate Gouwu is old and he does not want to participate in this kind of struggle. I didn’t pay much attention to it.

After returning the waist badge, Magistrate Gou Wu felt his body relax, and he felt that he had regained his ability to speak.

"Hmph...what's the matter with you?"

With a cold snort, Magistrate Gou Wu would not give him a good look for such a person who broke into the government office without permission.

The man holding the candle did not answer, but stared at Magistrate Gou Wu intently.

Just when Magistrate Gou Wu felt a little unhappy, he suddenly heard the other party say.

"Sure enough, there are traces of those guys."

Chapter 41 Cognitive Tampering

"What trace?"

Magistrate Gou Wu was stunned for a moment.

However, before he could react, the candle bearer suddenly rushed out from the shadows.

I saw the person holding the candle holding a gleaming talisman in his hand. While shouting loudly, "Master Magistrate, I'm offended," he slapped the talisman on the head at a speed that caught Magistrate Wu off guard.

"open!"

Bingzhuren's loud shout was like a heavy hammer, hitting Magistrate Gouwu hard on the head. In his dizziness, Magistrate Gouwu fell directly to the ground.

The cronies on the side saw this scene and shouted in panic, "What are you doing??"

"Shut up! Just watch from the sidelines and don't get in the way here!"

Zhu Bingren just glared at him, and the confidant felt as if he was being targeted by something terrifying. His whole body was so stiff that he couldn't move at all. He could only watch as Zhu Bingren took several talismans on Magistrate Gou Wu's face one after another. body.

The next moment, those talismans glowed brightly and burned into wisps of white smoke.

Magistrate Gou Wu seemed to have regained consciousness. He coughed while lying on the ground and struggled to get up from the ground.

It's a pity that he was a little older and his hands and feet were somewhat unwieldy. In the end, he stood up with the help of the candle bearer.

"What did you just do to me? Do you know what you are doing?" Magistrate Gou Wu gasped and said with a little fear.

This is the second time.

Within one day, two people knocked him to the ground one after another and used some unknown Origin Stone skills on him. Magistrate Gou Wu was so angry that he didn't know what to say. How could he, a magistrate like him, feel like he was connected to the street? The beggars next to him were inferior to each other. It seemed like anyone could come and step on him.

"Your Majesty, the magistrate is Si Suitai Bingzhuren Zuoyan. This trip is because I was ordered to come to Gouwu to conduct an investigation." Bingzhuren clasped his fists and said, "I just found traces of the Sui Beast on your body, Lord Magistrate. That’s why I made this decision as a last resort, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused.”

Although Zuo Yan spoke very politely, the arrogance in his heart could not be concealed.

After taking a few breaths, Magistrate Gou Wu found some familiar features on Zuo Yan's body. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Your surname is Zuo? Feidiya... What is your relationship with that General Zuo?" ?”

"It's my brother," Zuo Yan replied.

Magistrate Gou Wu suddenly felt a little sick in his stomach. The Zuo family was a rising star in the past few decades.

Because of their lack of background, they were eager to make some achievements. The Zuo family could be seen in many places, among which General Zuo from the Ministry of War was the most famous. Unexpectedly, they had already put their hands in Si Suitai.

Bingzhuren... Although his status in Si Suitai is not too high, he can still be considered as having access to the core business of Si Suitai.

There is a common misunderstanding in the world that the Ministry of War is in charge of Dayan's army and should be the most powerful among the six, but in fact this is not the case.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of matters related to rituals, music, schools, sacrifices, and diplomacy. It may not seem to have a good reputation, but in fact, the Ministry of Rites is completely stronger than the Ministry of War. Its status among the six ministries is second only to the Ministry of Personnel. This is because of the special responsibilities of the Ministry of Personnel. for the sake of.

As the strongest force in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, Si Suitai still cannot be underestimated even if it is now independent.

What's more, Si Suitai still deals with matters related to the 'behemoth', which is not a secret in the Yan Kingdom.

At this time, Magistrate Gou Wu realized belatedly that the Zhuzhu man named Zuo Yan had just said...

"Wait a minute...you just said that there are traces of the Year Beast on my body?"

"Yes, this is exactly the purpose of my trip to Gou Wu."

Although he was a bit arrogant at heart, Zuo Yan was unambiguous in his actions. He said to Magistrate Gou Wu, "I can probably guess which age beast incarnation did it."

"Master Magistrate, please carefully recall what you have done and the orders you have given in the recent period. Is there anything wrong with it?"

How could there be anything wrong with this?

Magistrate Gou Wu instinctively wanted to answer this way. All his decisions were made after careful consideration. There have been no problems for so many years, otherwise he would not be in the position he is today.

However... when Magistrate Gou Wu recalled everything that happened today, he couldn't help but shudder deeply.

"How is it possible...how could I make such a hasty conclusion..." Magistrate Gou Wu murmured.

Regarding the attack on the Dali Temple Minister, Magistrate Gou Wu did an impeccable job in both blocking the news and later transferring the ward, but he only made a mistake in confirming the identity of the murderer.

He did have doubts for a moment about the Dali Sizhi who had just arrived in Gouwucheng yesterday, but no evidence against that Sizhi was found at the scene.
