A pile of bits and pieces lay on the bedroom table, including a Chaos Scale disguised as a hand mirror, a pocket watch, a flashlight, and a wallet, which contained a household card, Jin Shenghui's deposit ticket, and several gold dragon tickets of various denominations.

This is a relic that Gao De scavenged from Shen Ze, and he didn't simply give it to Beishan without searching for the body.

The Scales of Chaos is naturally the key to the Gray Realm where the Golden Turtle gang are, and in view of Shen Ze's clear death, this key either can't enter the Gray Realm, or it falls into the trap that has been arranged earlier after entering, Gao De decided to ignore it for the time being.

The flashlight was similar to the lightsaber that Old Man He had used, and Gao De didn't activate it rashly, and was ready to try it when he used Wang Invincible's identity to do so.

The household certificate is equal to the ID card of the Ming Dynasty, but the name of the system is different in different places. The name and address on it must have been whitewashed, and Gao De didn't bother to verify it.

Jin Shenghui's deposit certificate contained 3,500 gold dragons, which was not a small amount, almost twice as much as his monthly income. As a result, Gao De lost interest in the dozen or so Golden Dragon Tickets worth more than 200 yuan, and spent a little time thinking about how to take them out. It's a pity that this is a registered deposit certificate, and Shen Ze has to pick it up in person. Even if he can use a pseudo shell to disguise himself as Shen Ze, his figure can't be disguised. Kim Shenghui's registered deposit certificate not only has a vivid portrait identification, but also a description of details such as her figure.

Speaking of which, Gao De received two shares of Yulu and a share of the knight's gold, but now he doesn't have many golden dragons in his hands. He was promoted too quickly, and he only received the salary of 100 households for two months, and he will soon receive the salary of 1,000 households and even the pacification envoy. Because of the urgent expansion of the mahout and the fact that the funds did not arrive so quickly, Gao De had to pay for the turnover out of his own pocket, and the salary he had just received became IOUs and were still stuffed in his pocket. When Yu Lin Wei's family was dividing the spoils, don't look at his generosity, in fact, his intestines were twisted and almost bleeding.

Anyway, this money can still only be made with Wang Wudi's identity.

Finally, there is the pocket watch, which must be a timepiece made of mold machinery is very rare in Aurora, and it is basically imported from the far sea. It is not rare for Gaode, when it was only a hundred households, there were gold and silver pocket watches among the rewards sent down with the flying fish suit. However, the dial of the imperial pocket watch is divided into 12 hours and 100 quarters, and Gao De is quite unaccustomed to using it, and he doesn't often run outside, so he doesn't bother to carry it.

Gao De was not very interested, and opened the case with the mentality of seeing what was going on. The dial is indeed a long-sea chronograph, and it is still clicking. Looking at the case and dial, there are not many special signs, just an ordinary offshore pocket watch.

Just as he was about to put it aside, his hand stopped again.

The thickness of this pocket watch is a little out of line with the weight, it seems to be much lighter, and it is faintly hot in the hand. When I picked up the pocket watch from Shen Ze, it was still very hot, and I thought it was the influence of demonic power at the time, so it hadn't subsided until now, right?

Detachment from perception into a transcendent field of vision, initially discovering nothing. When he opened the case and looked at it again, Gao De's heart jumped, and the faint black smoke was overflowing from the gap between the case and the dial, which was extremely thin and could not be noticed if he did not look carefully.

He found a steel needle to insert it into the gap and pried the dial out, and the scene under the dial made Gaode's pupils constrict.

There is also a layer of space below, scattered with tiny black ashes, which are emitting thin smoke, which at first glance looks like the magic stone that Old Man He dug out of his chest.

Gao De swept the other things into the drawer and locked them, and went straight to the old warehouse with his pocket watch.

"It's a magic stone......

Lao Gu was also very excited, wearing glasses with magnifying lenses, and carefully observed the pocket watch that looked like a pea in his hand.

"It's another state of the magic stone in the present world," looking at the black ash that was still smoking, Lao Gu came to a clearer conclusion. "It's closer to the form in the gray realm than the previous magic stone, and it's still burning darkly, it should be that this form is disintegrating. ”

Yes, this smoke has no taste, almost the same black smoke as the demon's shell dissipates.

"My lord mentioned earlier that when a demon officially joins a certain magic tower, he will seal a part of his soul in the magic tower through the magic stone. Lao Gu speculated, "This prohibition should be very effective, so that the demon can't change jobs at will." However, there are no absolutes in everything, and there must be a corresponding way to eliminate them...... At least for the time being, this ban should be removed, and what we are seeing now should be the way to do it. ”

As Gao De guessed, Shen Ze relied on this method to betray the secret hand, or the money turtle relied on this method to coerce Shen Ze to rebel.

"Could it be that in this world, what method was used to ignite the soul, and then relying on the connection of the soul, that kind of flame was used to break through the gap between the gray realm and the present world, so that the magic stone flowed into the current world?"

Lao Gu opened his mind, "If you use this kind of soul flame to wrap another soul bound by the magic stone, as long as it burns other people's magic stones, the other soul will not be burned." At the same time, such a soul flame will isolate the soul that is sealed in the magic stone, and even if it is damaged or even destroyed, it will not hurt the body, and the prohibition will lose its meaning. ”

This brain hole sounds reasonable, but it leads to a bigger question, what is the so-called thing that can ignite the soul?

"Of course souls can be burned, especially souls with pure mortal power. Lao Gu shook his head and laughed at Gao De's ignorance, "The emperors of the past dynasties sat on the throne of Sheji, and they were burning their souls. Emperors are at least legends, if An An lives a life, there is no problem in living to be two hundred years old. But most emperors died at the age of fifty or sixty, and it is extremely rare for the first emperor to live to more than ninety. ”：

"Of course, the current empress should not only live to the age of the previous emperor, she is much more powerful. As long as she doesn't sit on the seat of Sheji for a long time and burn her soul, the loss is not too obvious, maybe she, the empress, can reign for more than a hundred years. ”

I thought that the emperor was just a loss of life when he sat on the throne of Sheji, but the real reason was that he was directly burning his soul!

Gao De couldn't help but take a deep breath, he had a little more respect for the emperors of the past and the current empress, and the taste of sitting on it to burn his soul must not be comfortable.

"The Throne of Sheji itself is a gray vessel, which not only directly connects to chaos, but also uses the emperor's soul as firewood to burn and suppress the power of chaos. "There should be other ash vessels that can ignite the soul, and then throw it in this container disguised as a pocket watch, and use the magic stone as fuel for a long time. ”

There are still a lot of details that make it difficult for the old guy's brain to be perfected, but the general principle should be like this. And to figure out the details, you have to find a demon who is willing to explain these things clearly, and you have to be at least a tower under the tower of the old man's rank.

Gao De began to regret it again, if he didn't be so ruthless to Old Man He at the beginning, and left him more time to explain his last words, he might be able to figure out some details.

Now I can only rummage through the memory fragments of Wang Zihe and Shen Ze to see if I can find something. If you can't find it, you can either gain further trust from the covert to understand these things, or you can only try to catch a high-level tower descendant to interrogate you.

Gao De felt that it was very important to figure out this matter, and maybe it would be a key step in unlocking the mystery of the Gray Realm Demon Tower.

I still have to discuss with Lao Gu, the intercom rang, and the plush shouted in a frightened tone of doomsday on the other end: "The manager of Tosaka blew up the office phone and no one answered, and he was so angry that he scolded your sister for a bloody head, why don't you come back quickly to appease your boss!"

What kind of logic are you, isn't it my sister who should be appeased?

And what, my boss, gray bean sprouts, what are you talking about, do you really understand yourself?

Gao De was full of confusion, and rushed back to the office to call Ai Tosaka, and was naturally roared by the angry other party.

"Get out of here to the Qianming Palace!

Ai Tosaka only mentioned the last sentence of the business, and he actually asked him to go to the Qianming Palace!

There was still buzzing in his ears, Gao De put down the phone, and his heart was beating a drum, the empress wanted to summon him?

"Okay, just to call him over, I hooked out my anger for a whole month!"

In the apse of the Qianming Palace, Ai Tosaka lost the intercom and stared at the empress angrily, "Your Majesty, you say, how can I compensate me?"

"Look again," the empress ignored her, still fiddling with the phoenix crown with the beaded curtain, "Are you sure you really can't see it?"

"Your Majesty!" Tosaka was angry, "Now that you are Your Majesty or not Li, your voice is different, how can you recognize you?"

"But the body is the same," the empress was still talking about crookedness, "and they have all done it, doesn't it mean that the men and women who have done it will have a tacit understanding, even if they change their appearance, they will sense each other?"

"How many books have you read on the Holy Mountain that you shouldn't read?" Tosaka lamented with caressing his forehead.
