Chapter 59: Showdown
Who would have thought that at the bottom of this Tianbo Lake, there would be such a huge secret room hidden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The secret room is very large, and the living facilities are quite complete, and there is even a special place to store grain, grass and armor.
"If you don't win, you will lose first. Now it seems that Gongzi Xiao has already left a way back for himself, once the battle for the crown is lost, he will flee into this secret room, and then hide, and after the wind subsides, he will flee from Danyang City and even Chu State. Zhan Bai walked in the dimly lit secret room and sighed.
Because it is at the bottom of the lake, this secret room is illuminated by the night pearls inlaid on the walls every few zhang, and the light emitted by the night pearls naturally cannot be compared with the sun, and it is mixed with a little miserable green, which shrouds the secret room with a layer of gloomy feeling.
"There is a secret passage here that leads directly to the outside of Tianbo Mansion, but we can't go out for the time being." Zhan Bai said to Jing Ke and Nie Zheng.
"Why?" Nie Zheng was puzzled, this mission has been completed, as long as they can get out of the encirclement of Gongzitian's reinforcements, once they enter Danyang City, with their ability, it is not difficult to escape the search and arrest, not to mention, Gongzitian and the six guards he brought were all killed, who knew that they did it.
"Because, Danyang is about to be in chaos." It was Jing Ke who answered.
"Danyang chaos?" Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the poisonous plan proposed by Zhanbai at the beginning, and couldn't help but tremble, "But, but we have successfully assassinated Gongzitian and then disturbed Danyang...... Doesn't seem necessary, right? β
Although Nie Zheng is not as smart as Zhanbai and Jing Ke, he is not stupid, he clearly knows what the consequences will be in the event of a chaos in Danyang.
Hundreds of thousands of displaced people plus nearly a million aborigines in Danyang City...... How many people will die in this?
In fact, Jing Ke's guess was right, at the same time as he assassinated Gongzitian tonight, Zhanbai had already given an order and began to implement another plan.
As early as a few days ago, the grain and grass in Danyang City had reached a dangerous situation, and now, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of displaced people inside and outside the city, even ordinary people in Danyang City, there may not be overnight food at home. In such a situation, it is all too easy to provoke a riot once you are seduced by some people.
Don't look at the people at the bottom on weekdays, they are all submissive, but when they really can't survive, the energy that bursts out is absolutely devastating.
"Brother Nie, this secret room is quite large, if you are interested, you might as well visit it everywhere." Zhan Bai said suddenly.
The words were polite, but Nie Zheng heard a little bit of eviction, obviously Zhanbai wanted to talk to Jing Ke about some things alone, and these things could not be known to himself.
Nie Zheng was slightly stunned, and did not answer immediately, but instead set his eyes on Jing Ke.
Who knows, Zhanbai will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and have bad intentions towards Jing Ke?
They were also assassins, but they originally had no friendship, otherwise when the swordsman Jing Ke died at the hands of Zhanbai, they wouldn't have even taken the body with them.
It's just that now, as he gets in touch with Jing Ke more and more, Nie Zheng has developed admiration, he may have only admired his wisdom before, but today, after seeing Jing Ke's terrifying combat power, he unconsciously felt a little more awe.
For a long time, Nie Zheng didn't feel that his cultivation combat power was much weaker than Jing Ke's, and it wasn't until today that he didn't know how naΓ―ve his original idea was.
Although he is also a top-level assassin at the title level, Jing Ke said today that the terrifying combat power he showed was definitely able to kill himself.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards Brother Jing Ke." Zhan Bai couldn't see Nie Zheng's thoughts, and couldn't help but explain. On the other side, Jing Ke also nodded at Nie Zheng.
Seeing Nie Zheng leave this deepest secret room, for a while, Zhan Bai and Jing Ke looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into a strange dead silence.
"Brother Jing Ke, no, should I call you ...... now? Zhan is also white. In the end, it was Zhanbai who broke the silence first.
Since he found out Jing Ke's identity, Zhanbai had already planned to have a showdown with him, and now is undoubtedly the best time.
"Yes and what, and what is not?" Jing Ke confirmed Zhan Bai's guess by changing direction, but in fact, he was Zhan Yibai, and the sword demon Zhan Yibai.
"You're more curious than I am. After all, you already know my name. Zhan Bai smiled slightly and said.
"In this world, there are many people with the same name and surname, let alone those with similar names. Besides, I'm a demon cultivator, and you're human, and even now, I still don't believe we have anything to do with each other. Zhan Yibai didn't lie, which was also the main reason why he met Zhan Bai for the first time, especially after knowing his name, although he had doubts, he finally endured it until now and didn't ask questions.
"Are shemales different? Good excuse. Zhan Bai shook his head, "I once told you that in the past, I had a friend named Zhan Yibai. β
"So what?" Zhan Yibai said disapprovingly.
"Don't you have the slightest curiosity?" Zhan Yibai's composure and calmness made Zhan Bai quite a headache, and many of his tricks didn't work on this guy at all.
"As a killer, the biggest fear is curiosity." Zhan Yibai replied coldly, "The more you know, the faster you will die." β
"But what if you are who I am, and I am still me?" Zhan Bai really didn't have much patience to continue playing dumb riddles like this, and directly threw out the bomb that made Zhan Yibai dumbfounded.
As expected, Zhan Yibai's eyes, who were originally calm, suddenly radiated a terrifying light, and his voice became more and more cold, "Explain clearly." β
If there is any unsolvable knot in Zhan Yibai's heart, then it must be his origin. He knew that his memory was incomplete, and he only had the memory of appearing in Qixialing and meeting the rat demon until now, as for what he knew before, all he knew was his name, his name was Zhan Yibai, and that's it.
It is precisely because of this lack of memory that after meeting Zhanbai, Zhan Yibai once confided the doubts in his heart to Sun Wukong, but did not get an answer.
Until now, when he heard the words "You are me, I am still me" from Zhanbai's mouth, he couldn't help but think about it.
As a demon cultivator, and a demon cultivator whose combat power has reached a certain level, Zhan Yibai is not difficult to understand these eight words, and can even find many examples in reality, such as Sun Wukong.
The current Monkey King is just a doppelganger of his monkey hair fused with a broken soul, compared with the real and complete Monkey King, isn't it just the answer to this sentence, "You are me, I am still me." β
Could it be that he is not a living existence at all, just a doppelganger of the human in front of him?
Suddenly, Zhan Yibai had a sense of sadness, this kind of self-denial is a big blow to everyone, it is not easy for him not to collapse, of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't believe it, or he can't believe it.
The reason why a doppelganger is a doppelganger is that it has a primary and secondary relationship with the ontology, which is not only the primary and secondary of status, but even includes the will.
But the current situation is that the two are two independent individuals who have nothing to do with each other except for the seemingly accidental coincidence in their names, which makes Zhan Yibai how can he agree with Zhan Bai's words. Furthermore, even if the two are the relationship between the subject and the doppelganger, then why is the doppelganger not Zhanbai?
