How can there be such a strong superpower?

Li Zheng turned around.

Chen Lusi looked at him calmly without saying a word.

Li Zheng realized something and told Zhou Jian something. Then he slowed down his pace, walked over to Chen Lusi, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That Mabo isn't normal."

Chen Lusi tilted his head slightly and said concisely, "He has been looking towards the north."

Li Zheng was stunned, then looked at Ma Bo in front of him and found that it was true. His face changed immediately.

"Also, Zhou Jian is a little weird."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then continued, "I don't know if you've noticed, but he inexplicably calls his home 'Fuzhong'. When you asked him for the stones, he said they were in his house... We don't usually call our homes that, and it couldn't be a slip of the tongue. I don't think a modern person would make such a slip of the tongue."

"..."

This time.

Li Zheng's expression changed drastically. He turned his head sharply and almost cried out, "How is this possible? Could it be that they were switched?!"

“…Not really.”

Chen Lusi looked at Li Zheng, who had managed to control his voice at the last moment. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "At least it doesn't look like it, because they're both pretty normal most of the time. I've had the good fortune of encountering a teammate being swapped before, and while experience can't be applied... my intuition tells me this isn't a swap. They've been affected by something."

"Influence……?"

Li Zheng looked around at his comrades and felt helpless for the first time.

Just now, Chen Lusi was unable to sense the external spirit, and he was just shocked, not at a loss at all.

this moment.

He finally experienced the power of the 'alien realm'.

"Then what should I do?"

After a long time.

Li Zheng managed to calm down and asked, "Should we go find them and ask them clearly?"

"Whether it was swapped or affected by something else, asking is useless. Only by finding the source of the pollution and the alien world itself can we solve it.

However, you can try to hint at it, and at the same time pay attention to whether there are other people who behave abnormally..."

Speaking of which.

Chen Lusi paused, then said the rest of his words: "We all came in together. If Zhou Jian and that Ma Bo were affected... then the situation could be far worse than we imagine."

"it is good."

Li Zheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, then responded and turned to find Zhou Jian.

"Also, if you notice I'm not behaving normally, you can try to remind me directly. If I haven't returned to normal..."

Chen Lusi called out to him, then pointed at himself: "Then don't believe me anymore. We don't know what the alien realm's main body wants to do yet. Don't take any risks."

Li Zheng paused, then nodded with difficulty and continued walking towards Zhou Jian.

……

Although, the palace complex seems to be very far away.

But they didn't actually walk for long. It seemed as if only a short while had passed before they reached the outskirts of the first palace complex.

And along the way... the group got along well with the 'locals'. They ignored Chen Lusi and the others, as if they couldn't see them.

Even though Chen Lusi's clothes were obviously not very sociable.

Even if there are so many of them gathered together.

The only time Chen Lusi interacted with them was when he pulled out his gun.

other times.

It's like they're blind.

As for Ma Bo and Zhou Jian.

As the distance got farther, the former finally stopped staring in one direction and turned his gaze to the palace complex in front of him.

Zhou Jian was talking to Li Zheng all the way, but no one knew what they talked about. It was not until they were near the palace complex that they stopped talking and looked up at the palace complex in front of them.

And look closer.

The palace, which looked magnificent from a distance, was...very scary.

Because this building seems to be alive.

The palace walls are entangled, the pavilions overlap, the eaves are stuck together, and the various building components are constantly wriggling and changing their shapes, barely maintaining this intricate architectural wonder when viewed from a distance.

It's like... an indescribable thing covered in the skin of a building.

"..."

Many guards gasped after seeing the specific appearance of the palace.

Chen Lusi felt disgusted as he looked at the palaces that were entangled, squirming and changing their shapes.

Everyone stood outside the palace, looking at it. Although they had arrived, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Li Zheng, who was at the front, subconsciously looked at Chen Lusi again.

Chen Lu thought for a moment, took a few steps forward, then walked past Li Zheng and approached the palace wall. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand.

"Chen Lusi."

Li Zheng was a little anxious when he saw this scene and immediately called him.

Chen Lusi did not respond.

You can't get out just by looking.

It was impossible for him to pin all his hopes on being rescued.

So no matter what, we must first figure out what this thing is...

With this thought.

Chen Lusi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wriggling palace wall in front of him.

The palace wall, which was still wriggling and changing shape, suddenly stopped.

then.

Chen Lusi's actions seemed to break the rules of this strange building.

The palace walls, which had originally maintained their shape, instantly collapsed inward like liquid, rotating and reconstructing.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change and was still unable to react.

The palace walls became a canvas, suddenly reconstructing the scene of an ancient court meeting.

And the controversy arose.

"Your Majesty! Think again! Hou Jing is fickle, and many of the rebel generals have ulterior motives!"

"Don't spread lies to confuse the people. Your Majesty is a man of great virtue. The enemy generals will soon be summoned to surrender. This is destiny. How can we refuse?!"

"Haha, that's right. If we can seize the opportunity, the northern frontier can be cleared. This opportunity is so rare, why should we just sit there and wait! Come, issue an edict!"

"..."

Chen Lusi was slightly startled, then silent for a moment, and looked back at the member of the security force who first pointed out that this palace was the 'Jiankang Palace'.

"Hou Jing surrendered to Liang."

The guard just replied with four words.

On the palace wall, the picture rotates and reconstructs again.

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing is plotting a rebellion! We must not tolerate this any longer!"

"Jing Gu is in danger of his life, how could he possibly rebel?"

……

"Your Majesty! He really rebelled!"

"Stop talking! Jing has no intention of crossing the river!"

……

"Your Majesty! The rebels have captured Huainan Governor Xiao Ning! The main force has entered Cihu!"

"What!?"

……

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing has piled up earthen hills to the east and west of the city, driving out the common people, beating them indiscriminately without distinction, and killing the weak and tired to fill the hills. The cries are unstoppable!"

"..."

……

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing has occupied the entire city."

"..."

……

"Ho! Ho!"

"Your Majesty! I already said it! No!"

……

The last screen appears.

An octogenarian uttered an unwilling groan and died.

Then, the historian took up his pen and wrote: "In the third year of Taiqing, on the fifth month, on the Bingchen day, the emperor lay in the Jingju Palace. He had a bitter taste in his mouth and asked for honey, but it was not available. He said again, 'He! He!' and then he died."

The picture is frozen at this moment.

this moment.

Time seems to intertwine.

Even if Chen Lusi was not interested in history, he probably understood it.

This should be the story of Emperor Wu of Liang.

I have to say, it's quite shocking.

…as if the old days were reappearing.

And yet he is like this.

Not to mention the security forces behind us.

The member of the security force who was particularly interested in history was completely dumbfounded.

But the person who reacted the most was not him.

But... Ma Bo.

"what!!!"

Just when everyone was immersed in shock.

The member named Ma Bo suddenly screamed.

His scream instantly brought everyone back, and they all turned their eyes to him.

But after Ma Bo finished screaming, he stared blankly at the last frozen image. Even facing so many gazes, he did not react at all.

"Mabo!"

Li Zheng realized something and immediately shouted.

But he had just finished speaking.

What greeted him was not Ma Bo's answer, but a cry of grief.

A huge cry, like that of a wounded beast.

Wailing cries came from all directions.
