(87) A Hundred Years on Earth (II)

The next day

"Why, you're finally willing to come to me?" Xin Kucao leisurely drank a cup of tea and quipped. www.biquge.info"Aren't you just waiting for me to come to you?" She sat opposite the withered grass and changed into a crimson dress, and it was amazing that with her current petite figure, she really supported the powerful red dress. Xin Kucao glanced at her clothes and said meaningfully: "Now, do you want to tell me who you are?" She sneered and turned her head to look downstairs, where Ah Xue was playing games with a few children that Gao Fan had picked up from the ruins, the sounds of the children frolicking and birdsong were intertwined. I'm not an important person in the first place, so what's in it for you to know who I am? ”

Xin Kucao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are a child of the Eternal Day District of Fog City, right?" The girl was startled and looked at Xin Kucao in disbelief: "You! Then he sat down dejectedly, "Since you know that I am from the Eternal Day District, you still dare to take me in." Xin Kucao said with a smile: "The person who came is a guest." The girl scolded, "It's crazy." She sat upright and looked at Xin Kucao suspiciously: "How did you see it, I didn't think there were any flaws from beginning to end." Xin Kucao raised her eyebrows, and turned her eyes to Zhang Wenxue downstairs: "You probably don't know that the children in the Yongday District are all independent or rebellious. She paused, "When Ah Xue first came, she wasn't the same as you, she didn't eat hard and soft, and she had a bad attitude. ”

"But it turns out that not everyone in the Eternal Day District is a bastard."

The biggest side effect of the birth of the virtual element is the eternal day area located north of the original fog city.

It's a completely closed world, but there's an abundance of virtual elements. More than three times as many virtual elements are used there as there are outside worlds. But it's not heaven, it's not paradise, it's not Elysium, it's a dark world on another level. Due to the small population of the Eternal Day District and the large number of users of virtual elements, the direct result is that those who cannot use virtual elements are oppressed and exploited. The reason why the Eternal Day District is called the Eternal Day District is that in addition to the lack of a system to govern this area and the extremely high mortality rate, it is a very short day and a long night. Four-fifths of the night is the result of the already scarce resources in the hands of those in high positions.

The people on the outside want to enter the Eternal Day Zone, and the people on the inside want to leave this hellish place.

However, the people who came out of the eternal day area never knew what "living and working in peace and contentment" was. It's almost a bad gene in the bones, and the people who come out of the Eternal Day District are extremely dangerous elements one by two. The Eternal Day Zone is truly a world where opportunities and challenges coexist.

Seeing that the child in front of him looked a little gloomy, Xin Wither changed the topic: "Can you tell me your name?" The girl turned her head: "I don't have a real name." Xin Kucao said with a smile: "Don't want to find your friends? The girl raised her head sharply, saw Xin Kucao's gentle face, and lowered her head again: "I don't have a name. ”

"Then your friend should have a name, right?" The girl looked at the Xin Kucao and said hesitantly, "Gu Qian." Xin Kucao smiled even more happily: "Then your surname is Gu!" What is it called? Well...... It's called Gu Yan? Well, no, it's called Gu Ying? Well...... No, it doesn't. The girl looked at the person who gave her a name by herself, and was stunned, and for some reason remembered the words of the woman who gave birth to her before she died: "Although I didn't give you a name, ah, one day, you will meet someone who is willing to give you a name, remember...... Don't let her down. ”

Just when she was stunned, Xin Kucao had already decided her name with a smile: "How about calling it Gu Yinggong!" Do you admire my literary brilliance? "Gu Ying Palace? The girl thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what special meaning the name had: "How do you write these three words?" Xin Kucao was stunned, and hesitantly wrote these three words on the paper.

"Gu... Abundant... Palace. Xin Kucao hesitated to pick up the pen, "It seems... Seems like that, right? "Yin? Is this Yin? The girl looked at the dry smile of Xin Withered Grass suspiciously, and pursed her lips, sure enough... Typos. Gu Yin Gong didn't know that since today, her life had ushered in a new turning point, a turning point that directly led her to formulate that plan to exterminate humanity in the future.

Year 2782. Fog City. The First City. The leader will lead to the living room

"Chief, Yan Thrush has arrived in the hall, do you want to invite her into the living room?"

Hua Geyu's hand to deal with the document paused.

"Yan thrush? What is she here for? Hua Geyu closed the file and set it aside, and the shield automatically protected them. The voice outside the door replied respectfully: "Lord Yan said that she has clues about the important suspect in the assassination of the old king. Hua Geyu's right eye jumped, the assassination of the old king, why was Yan Thrush bored to investigate this? Hua Geyu pondered for a while: "Go and invite her over." "It's really strange, Yan Thrush didn't go to Su Zhiyu's throne ceremony at this time, and came to her to report what clues about the suspect? Hua Geyu frowned, and she rubbed her eyebrows.

There's always a sense of foreboding......

"Good morning, Lord Hua Geyu, I took the liberty to come to you, please forgive me." Yan Thrush smiled and came up from the side staircase and sat on the left side of Hua Geyu's desk. Hua Geyu's heart tightened, sitting on the left side of the main seat is an important tradition of the Su family, which means that the person who comes has a really important matter, and the Su family tree reads: "If it violates the purpose, the main seat should be beheaded." "It means that if the Su family sitting on the left side of the main seat is not important, the master sitting on the main seat can directly execute him. Yan Thrush has been working for the Su family for so many years, and he won't even know this. Hua Geyu's eyebrows were locked tighter, and even people like Yan Thrush who cherished their lives thought that things were more important than their lives......

The sense of foreboding was even stronger.

"Why are you coming to me?" Hua Ge Yu got straight to the point. Yan Thrush was serious: "Come and report to the leader the important clues of the assassination of the old king." Hua Geyu was expressionless: "Then report it, I'll listen." Yan Thrush was not annoyed when he saw Hua Geyu's reaction, smiled and took out the information card, and passed a few pieces of information to Hua Geyu: "This information comes from a young man who came to join the Su family, and he claimed to be able to provide clues about the assassination of the old king. ”

Hua Ge Yuhasao read the information and threw it on the table casually: "An unidentified teenager, what evidence does he have to believe the clues he provided?" Yan Thrush smiled unabated: "This young man said that he and Lord Hua Geyu are old acquaintances. Hua Geyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it. So what should I do? What's his name? Yan thrush said: "Li Cangxue." Hua Geyu's face did not change: "Li Cangxue? Which one? Kusakura? Yan Thrush shook his head: "Sancang." Hua Geyu sneered: "Then I really don't know this Li Cangxue." She picked it up from the table, read it carefully, and threw it into the fireplace flame.

The data quickly burned out.

Yan thrush's eyelids jumped.

"I don't know what Lord Hua Geyu means?"

Hua Geyu stood up, passed by Yan Thrush, walked to the door, and set the entire room into a secret mode to block any information. After locking the door, he said: "Yan thrush, Ming people don't say dark words." You don't have to talk to me. ”

Yan Thrush smiled inexplicably: "I don't know what the adults are talking about?" ”

Hua Geyu saw that she didn't mean to admit it, so she simply broke the jar and broke it: "Yan thrush, Yan thrush, we have been dealing with each other for five years." What kind of temperament each is, they are very clear to each other. ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, just your rigorous character of taking precautions, maybe long before I succeeded to the throne, you checked all my information, my weak life or succession, you should know better than me."

"Even ......," Hua Geyu smiled, "You also know that I am not the daughter of the Fog City Fahrenheit, just a wanderer whose parents died. I didn't get any support from the civilians of Fog City, I just killed them all and found someone to impersonate them. I was hunted down in Fog City, and then picked up in an orphanage. Maybe you still know my real name, maybe there's more......" Hua Geyu's eyes showed murderous intent: "You know that I have a younger brother who has been missing for nine years. ”

Yan Thrush looked at Hua Geyu: "Miss Gu Yinggong, I don't intend to offend your privacy, I just understand what the current leader of VEA likes." You know," Yan Thrush tried to change the subject, "I can't guess what is going on in the minds of those in power." I've heard that you've promoted a kid who resembles you......"

"You want to threaten me with drunken snow?" Hua Geyu looked at Yan Thrush with the eyes of an idiot. Yan Thrush shook his head: "Of course not, I just want to tell Miss Gu about my meager chips." It's certainly not enough to shake your strong foundations, but ...... What if it's your past? ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is indeed Li Cangxue, right?" Yan Thrush asked.

“…… Right. Hua Geyu was silent for a while. But even if you have him, I won't help you get rid of the person you want to get rid of. ”

Yan Thrush was helpless: "It's not what you think." I have come today for no purpose other than to report this. In the face of Yan Thrush's confession, Hua Geyu was still skeptical. At this point, the purpose of both sides has been clear, in Hua Geyu's eyes, Yan Thrush wants to use some of his own handles to let himself execute a person in the name of the assassin of the old king. And this person, of course, must be involved in the interests of the Su family.

But if what Yan Thrush said is true, then ...... Did she really know who the assassin of the Old King was? But the answer to this question, but all the VEA executives, don't they know? She wouldn't have guessed the answer, would she?

Hua Geyu approached Yan Thrush and mocked, "Don't you know who killed the old king?" Yan Thrush smiled: "Naturally, I know, but this answer can't be widely publicized, right?" ”

Hua Geyu got up boredly: "Then isn't your purpose to let me help you kill people?" ”

"It's not for me, it's for you."

Hua Geyu paused, chuckled, she sat back in the chair, and looked at Yan Thrush's serious appearance: "Help me?" So you tell me what's in it for me? Yan Thrush sat upright: I don't know if Lord Hua Geyu has really seen me, or the information provided by Li Cangxue. Among them, Li Cangxue said that the academy set up by the dean of their academy on the periphery of the virtual detective training center, and the way to obtain the information inside was to contact the communication team of Lord Wang? ”

Hua Geyu was silent for a while: "What is this?" ”

"But after one of the communications teams sent them a letter, they never returned to the training center."

"So what?"

Hua Geyu snorted coldly: "You want me to convict Xin Withered Grass?" If so, then please go back. ”

Yan Thrush smiled: "Don't rush to catch people, adults." It's not good to try to cover it up like this. Can you listen to me before making a decision? ”

Hua Ge Yuhu glanced at her suspiciously: "... Then you go on. ”

Li Cangxue also provided Xin Kucao's diary, which recorded in detail how she came up with the idea of murdering the old king and how she carried it out. Yan Thrush used the tone of "Have you eaten today" to say such an explosive incident. Hua Geyu's hair exploded instantly: "What?!" ”

Of course, she knew that Xin Kucao had the habit of keeping a diary, but after she succeeded to the throne, when she came to visit her, didn't she "cut off the dust" and burned everything that had traces of Hua Geyu's past?!

"Show me." Hua Geyu frowned and asked for the diary, Yan Thrush took out the diary from her bag and handed it to Hua Geyu: "This is the evidence of the crime, there is only one copy, please also control your emotions and don't damage the evidence." Yan Thrush even said this sentence in front of him, that is, he recognized the rogue methods that Hua Geyu learned from somewhere. I'm afraid she will tear up/burn this diary directly.

Hua Geyu knew at first glance that this diary was fake, Xin Kucao's diary was a cowhide sewing thread book the size of a palm, only a dozen thin pages, she wouldn't remember anything important, and because she was protected by Xin Kucao like a baby, it was no different from when it was first made.

But this one, the light gray cover, is as thick as the bricks, the words on the cover are not clear, and the paper inside is also a little yellowed and worn, but every page is densely memorized.

Hua Geyu flipped over for a long time, and suddenly splashed the cup on the cover!

Yan Thrush hurriedly stood up, the water condensed on the paper, and did not wet it, Hua Geyu picked it up and shook it, and the water beads slid down the book, and the book was intact, only an "H" shaped flag appeared on the reverse side.

Hua Geyu looked at Yan Thrush with a smile: "Yes, it's still the paper produced by VEA, and there is the emblem of VEA on the back." Hua Geyu said coldly: "It seems that the age of this diary is quite young," Hua Geyu laughed: "Have you had two days?" ”

"Yan thrush, you have to be serious about cheating. Are you using the paper I used after I became the leader of the VEA to pretend that the old king was still "touching" the real paper, are you contempt for me for having no eyes? Yan thrush lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Don't dare." ”

"Let's not say whether this diary is real or not, because there is no difference between yes and no. Because we can all use him as evidence for the murder of the old king. Yan Thrush smiled: "After all, not everyone has the courage to destroy evidence." Yan thrush said: "Presumably my lord...... Ever seen the original diary? Hua Geyu did not answer Yan Thrush's words directly, she asked:

"Why do you think I'm going to work with you?"

Yan Thrush said: "Because this is your weakest and most unspeakable period, I believe that a successful monarch will not allow such a stain in his life." Hua Geyu raised her eyebrows: "What if I am willing to face my stain?" Yan Thrush shook his head: "Ten years later, Lord Hua Geyu dares to do this, I do believe it." But now," Yan Thrush glanced at Hua Geyu, "the adult has not yet gained a firm foothold, and it is easy to be shaken by others." ”

And as the tide of enthronement passes, more and more people will pay attention to the death of the old king. If the adults don't solve it at this time, the consequences will be more harmful than good. Yan thrush said: "That's why I will provide you with the best, 'everyone gets the stolen', and it is also beneficial to you." If you say the previous words, Hua Geyu can be regarded as listening to a story, but Yan Thrush's analysis of himself is indeed to the point. It's time for her to fix that.

But...... She didn't want to make a sacrifice for the spicy grass.

Even if there is that diary with "criminal process" on it.

Yan Thrush saw that Hua Geyu was still hesitant, and simply released the last chip: "You probably don't know that the other candidates who lost to you are ready to unite to rebel." ”

Hua Geyu's heart tightened, and there was still no trace on his face: "Hmph, I expected it a long time ago, I have been on the throne for four years, and they are ready to rebel?" Yan Thrush said regretfully: "But when they join forces, it is still a big problem." Yan Thrush's eyes darkened, "Don't adults want to solve them?" Hua Geyu looked at Yan Thrush: "But what does this have to do with Xin Kucao?" ”

"They've always wanted to recruit Sinkgrass, and Sinkgrass seems to be a little moved. She and Wen Renyue of Fengyulou were very close, and they intended to make Xin Withered Cao the leader of their alliance. ”

"Don't you think it's like killing the old king and killing you? Don't you think there's any difference between her doing this and actually assassinating the old king? Don't you think she's actually very upset with VEA and has always wanted to destroy the system? Don't you think she has always been a reformist who insisted on 'freedom, equality, no need for managers, and the people's own choice'? Don't you think there's a big difference between the current spicy grass and the spicy grass that took you away? Don't you think that the bitter grass will become your fierce rival in the future? ”

Yan Thrush said six "don't you think" in one breath, although she did something to the content, but Hua Geyu had to admit that what she said was indeed the truth. "Are you still deciding to ignore it?" Yan Thrush asked, "Even if she doesn't die from the 'murder of the old king' now, she will die from the 'murder of the new king' in the future!" ”

Yan Thrush continued: "It's all death anyway, so what's the difference? Is there any difference between you letting her live a few more days and a few days less? ”

Hua Geyu fell into a long silence.

For the first time, she felt so entangled, so difficult to make a decision.

She needs to weigh the gains and losses on both sides.

Yan Thrush didn't bother her, gently touched the shield, and exited the room.

"I'm curious why you're doing something to the spicy grass." Hua Geyu asked.

Yan Thrush closed the door and smiled brightly: "No comment." ”

Su Zhiqi, who had been guarding the door, saw her come out and hurriedly followed: "How is it?" Did the chief agree? Yan Thrush didn't even look at him: "It's your business to agree or not." Su Zhiqi followed Yan Thrush's pace closely and said with a dry smile: "Aren't I concerned about Zhiyu." It's about whether she can be the head of the house! It's also about whether I can be the deputy head of the family! Yan thrush broke the gong: "Okay, Hua Geyu is really a super difficult woman to lobby, principled and stubborn." However, looking at Hua Geyu's appearance, he should be only one step away from success. Su Zhiqi was dumbfounded: "Huh? So why don't you kick that kick? ”

Yan thrush said: "Are you an idiot? I put all the dishes in front of you, put the food for you, put the food in your bowl, wrap you with a scarf, and stuff the food into your mouth. I've done all the first, but the last step, you'll have to swallow it yourself, right? ”

"That's the way this is, I told Hua Geyu about the documents, handles, what I want to say, persuasion, conditions, and advantages, but in the end she has to accept them all by herself, and then make a decision."

Su Zhiqi looked confused: "I know every word you say, but when you connect it, you don't understand." ”

Yan Thrush looked at him with idiotic eyes.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. You should tell me what this matter has to do with the head of the Feather family! Su Zhiqi star-eyed, "I especially want to know!" Yan Thrush glanced at the man with "gossip" written on his face, and sighed helplessly: "Miss's virtual detective level is A, right." Su Zhiqi nodded: "That's right." ”

"What kind of profession is your dad?" Yan Thrush asked calmly. Su Zhiqi replied: "Hunter." Yan Thrush asked, "Who is Miss Young's competitor now?" Su Zhiqi replied: "Su Zhiwen and Su Yun." Yan Thrush continued to ask: "Did they secretly play tricks on Miss?" Su Zhiqi nodded. What are the approximate aspects? Su Zhiqi pouted: "As far as their pediatric methods are concerned, isn't it just to smear the feather." Yan Thrush shook his head: "This is not pediatric at all." Miss was targeted by them, resulting in a tendency to be isolated in the group, but with Miss's good character, it can always be resolved. But go on like this...... The situation is still not good for the young lady. ”

"Miss became the heir by virtue of Madame's suicide note and her own strong strength, but now Su Zhiwen and Su Yun are getting stronger and stronger, and they can already compete with Miss. At this time, there must be an opportunity to make Miss stronger than them, otherwise, Miss's heir position is not guaranteed. ”

Su Zhiqi nodded: "So that's the case." But what does this have to do with the assassination of the old king? ”

"Xin Wither and Miss are the same virtual detectives, VEA has long discovered that there is a special kind of person in the virtual detective who can use flames, but due to the rules set by VEA since ancient times, so I don't care. If she is caught, then VEA will have to take care of it. ”

"Do you think the Su family will let an A-level virtual detective come to power?" Yan Thrush asked.

Su Zhiqi shook his head.

"What about the highest level of a new class?"

Su Zhiqi nodded.

"That's why I'm targeting the spicy grass." Yan Thrush was meaningful, "She is the only virtual detective like Miss and related to Hua Geyu. ”

After Yan Thrush left, Hua Geyu quickly called Jian Yihua, and after saying this, the other head simply got straight to the point: "I'm going to take care of the Su family." Hua Geyu didn't react, and was stunned for a while: "You want to avenge Mo Xiaoran?" Jian Yi said, "Of course." Hua Geyu was silent for a while: "Okay." "I would agree with Yan Thrush's decision.

Jane drew the last kick.

Hanging up Jian's painting, Hua Geyu immediately called Yan Thrush: "You won." ”

Yan Thrush, who received the call, finally put down the stone in his heart: "Great." ”

In September 2782, the murder of the old king was officially solved.

In November, the succession ceremony of the Su family changed abruptly, the housekeeper Yan Thrush was stabbed to death, and Su Zhiyu, the second lady of the Su family, succeeded to the throne.

In December, the VEA system was reformed, and two positions were set up: magician and hacker.

……

In May 2789, VEA established the CEO system, and Su Zhiyu was elected as the second CEO.
