Chapter 105: In the Shadows (Second Update!) )
In Liaohai City, a small coastal city in the land of China, the central axis of the earth that is said to be able to fulfill all wishes has descended here, and the battle for this universal wishing machine is called the "Holy Grail War". Unlike such rituals that take place in secret around the world, www.biquge.info Holy Grail War in Liaohai City has only just begun, and there have already been unexpected developments.
Starting from the large-scale city-wide network disconnection, the abnormalities in Liaohai City began to gradually surface, and at noon on the second day of the arrival of the central axis, the large and small families in the Liaohai magic world had already received first-hand news, although the content of this news was so desperate.
In a café in a college town, Ying Da Pao leaned on the table with his elbows on his shoulders, his hands folded and his fingers crossed in front of his forehead, hiding his expression, but unable to hide his heavy breathing; Li Qiuyan held his cheek with his left hand, his beautiful eyebrows condensed into a knotted block, and his right hand was beating on the table unconsciously, revealing a slightly uneasy rhythm; Ye Mingyu clasped her hands in front of her chest, biting her lip tightly, her childlike face was filled with anxiety that adults could not imagine, her eyes seemed to be bursting into flames, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
As magicians, their ability to accept mysterious events far exceeds that of most people, which is not necessarily related to age and experience, but their worldview is fundamentally different from ordinary people. They are able to face otherworldly creatures with composure, can naturally accept the incarnation of Heroic Spirits, and will not even dispute the rule that only one person will be left in the face of 32 groups of cannibalism.
However, in the face of this incident, the past experience did not help them, and in the face of the catastrophic situation that the whole city was about to fall into, they could not find a solution for a while. Compared to this, the three Heroic Spirits seemed more relaxed, especially Bao'er, whose eyes were lowered as if they had never been opened, and Chivalry, the scepter, was more concerned about Ye Mingyu's reaction. On the contrary, Nezha put away his bored expression, as if he was seriously thinking about something.
"I think, ahem—" As soon as Ying Da Pao spoke, he found that his voice was hoarse and dry, like a river that had been blocked for many years. "I think we need to figure out first how the current state of affairs in Liaohai City's 'Otherworldly Flip' happened, whether it was an accident or artificial, and if it was man-made, then it was a magician or a heroic spirit. If you find the culprit and know how it all works, then it may be possible to find a way to reverse it. ”
Before Li Qiuyan could speak, he first exhaled a dull breath: "Just now Mingyu said that Gao Tianming was going to drag us to accompany the funeral, can you be sure, this matter is related to the trickery salon?" ”
Ye Mingyu said with a calm face: "I'm afraid I took it for granted just now...... Gao Tianming is afraid that he can't think of such a thing, and this is not in line with his original intention. His original intention was to sit on the top spot in Liaohai City, reach the peak of power that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, pull down the original high-level and replace them with his henchmen, and he himself has the means to restrain them, so that he can control the entire city behind the scenes, and become the king of one side that no one has been able to achieve for hundreds of years. In other words, his original purpose was to rule, not to destroy. ”
"Could it be that something happened to him before he was caught by Umpire, causing him to abandon all hopes, break the can, and simply end up with everyone?" Li Qiuyan guessed.
Ye Mingyu shook his head: "It shouldn't be, or if you really want to die together, you can directly trigger the spiritual veins of Liaohai City to run away, and there is no need to be so troublesome." Achieving the Otherworldly Flip of the entire city requires extremely delicate techniques, and even the slightest omission will cause the dimensional to collapse, resulting in the collapse of the dimension. And since it is an otherworldly flip, there must be an otherworld that can exist for the city, that is, the otherworld we are in now has existed before. If he deliberately discovered or created such an Atlas in order to die together, it would be a waste of resources. ”
Perhaps she began to gradually accept such a reality, and her thinking gradually became clear, and the foundation of the first magic family in Liaohai began to play its due role.
"We have walked into a misunderstanding before, that is, we have a preconceived idea that the person who caused all this is trying to destroy Liaohai City. But now it seems that this is probably not the case. We've seen the dangers of the Atlas before, but if we think about it from the perspective of a magician, or from the perspective of the Holy Grail War, the Atlas may be ...... Still a good thing. Ye Mingyu himself said in disbelief, and the eyes of Ying Da Pao and Li Qiuyan couldn't help but focus.
"If you think about it, the reason why the Holy Grail War was fought in secret was to avoid interference from the outside world or to provoke a fierce backlash from normal society. The magic world in Shenzhou is already mysterious, and the general level of magicians is difficult to compare with the international level, so this Holy Grail War is just a farce in the eyes of the Magic Association. And with the opening of the Holy Grail War and the development of the war situation, once they know that the central axis of the earth really has a powerful effect, I am afraid that the entire association will come out of the nest, and they will not hesitate to start a full-scale war with the magic world of Shenzhou to get their hands on the central axis. And now that the entire Liaohai City has been transferred to the other world, no matter how powerful the magician is, he can't easily enter from the outside world, and the magician with this ability probably won't have any interest in the central axis. ”
"The flipping of the other world is bound to cause great damage to the operation of normal society, and the whole city is panicked, even if the existence of the magician is exposed, ordinary people do not have enough capital and courage to cause any harm to us. In other words, no matter what happened in Liaohai City during this period, there was no external force to interfere, or even slaughter all ordinary people, as long as it can ensure that the final victor can realize his wish with the central axis, then all the processes are not important. ”
Ye Mingyu's reasoning gradually came to an end, and the breathing of everyone present suddenly became heavy again.
"And different otherworlds, their characteristics are also different, the other world we are currently in is not only suitable for survival, but also full of magic and aura, excluding the inability to obtain the necessary resources for survival, it is simply a magician's paradise. So, the ultimate beneficiary of this Atlas Flip—"
"It's the participants in the Holy Grail War, or rather, the Holy Grail War itself."
A sense of absurd fear gradually rose in the hearts of everyone, as if there was really some kind of inexplicable existence above human beings, who were watching everything that was happening in Liaohai City with an indifferent gaze that had no emotion at all.
