Chapter 32 (I) The Source of the Corps of Corpses
"What the hell are you trying to do?" After the car drove onto the highway, Tang Shuxing asked, because there were only three people in the car, including him, the guilty eater, and the weigher, and there was no driver.
The two didn't answer, because they were wearing silver-white masks, Tang Shuxing couldn't see the expressions on their faces. Of course, he also knew that even without masks, it was possible for both of them to remain expressionless.
There were countless checkpoints along the way to Chiang Rai, and Tang Shuxing didn't understand why they didn't take a plane, and they had to choose a car as a time-consuming and laborious mode of transportation.
It wasn't until he was about to reach the Shafeng Ferry that Sin Eater spoke, "You want to kill Reinhardt alone?" â
Tang Shuxing was taken aback, not because Sin Devourer knew what he wanted to do, but because Sin Devourer directly said Reinhardt's name, instead of calling him the Creator Lord as usual.
The car stopped, weighed the handbrake, and looked at Tang Shuxing from the rearview mirror.
"Yes." Tang Shuxing nodded.
"A few days ago, on the highway, you should know what you said to Alecham? You said, even if she kills you, there will still be Liu Shuxing and Zhang Shuxing, such killings are useless, and the current situation is the same, it is useless for you to kill Reinhardtshi. He looked out the window, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on him.
"Wait! Let me take a look. Tang Shuxing rubbed his forehead, "Which side are you on?" â
"You shouldn't be able to ask such a childish question, right?" "We're going to have to choose you to be the regulator from the beginning." But you refuse, you still didn't realize your importance at that time, you didn't reach the power core of Shangdu for a day, you couldn't get in touch with some core secrets for a day, and if you didn't get in touch with the core secrets, you didn't know what weaknesses the people you were dealing with were. â
Tang Shuxing was stunned for a moment, and asked: "You mean that Reinhardt has a weakness?" â
"As you said to Xia Jiezhu, he is a god who created zĂ o, not a true god, how can he have no weaknesses?" Sin Eater said calmly. At the same time, it is also reminding Tang Shuxing. Throughout the office building, there are listening and surveillance devices everywhere, and people's words and deeds cannot escape surveillance.
Tang Shuxing leaned back in his chair: "Two adults, this shouldn't be your assessment again, right?" Loyalty assessment? â
"First of all, I want to make it clear. We very much agree with Reinhardtch's idea of world unity. It's just that he is worried that his recasting of the Eye of Rulai will bring irreparable damage. As far as we know. That thing can only bring ruin. "So, we're just against recasting the Eye of the Truth." Not against Reinhardtch. â
"Does it make a difference?" Tang Shuxing looked out the window, "It doesn't make sense for you to justify yourself now, the group of German officers during World War II wanted to assassinate Hitler, and at first they thought it was only for Germany, not because they opposed Hitler, but in fact, everyone knows what is going on." Forget it, I don't want to know your reasons now, I just want to make sure, are you really on the same side as me? If so, you can sue me about Reinhardt's weakness, I will do it, I don't need you to take action, if it fails, at least there are you, you can think of other ways to support other people. â
"No one is better suited than you." Weighing and shaking his head, "It's just you, Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi are not within our range of choice, only you can control the holy relics." â
"So...... "Our plan is for you to pretend to surrender, get to the bottom of the secrets of the relics, and then use the power of the relics to counter Reinhardt." â
Devouring the crime and weighing came up with a construction that Tang Shuxing could not oppose. Indeed, Tang Shuxing also thought that this was a good way, and now it seemed that the only thing that could compete with Reinhardt was the holy relics. However, as far as Tang Shu's speculation is concerned, there is no need to reforge the Eye of Rulai, only one of them is needed to solve Reinhardthy, and any one of the green dragon scales, red phoenix feathers, and basalt is enough to destroy Reinhardtshi.
It's just that Tang Shuxing doesn't know how big the damage range of one of the holy relics is if all of them are opened? In addition to the underground Shangdu, will it affect the ground?
"I can't refuse this proposal, but I have my considerations." Tang Shuxing made up his mind, and when he saw Reinhardthy's pretended surrender, he first got one of the holy relics, and then said that if he could get it at that time, he must immediately try to kill Reinhardthy!
"Okay, it's a deal!" "But you must do what we tell us, remember not to act rashly, maybe there is no chance today, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even someday in the future, in short, before the eye of the future is reforged, we have a chance." â
"Hmm." Tang Shuxing replied, in fact, he knew in his heart that he had to get rid of Reinhardt as soon as he had the opportunity, otherwise more people would die in the war.
The three men left the car and went to the pier, where they found that the ferry port had disappeared, and the boat and the boatman's iron line were gone, replaced by an arched bridge.
"Where's the ship?" Tang Shuxing stood there and said, looking around, and actually asked, "What about the iron line?" â
"Dead." To put it mildly, "I was killed by Gu Huaiyi." â
"Huh?" Tang Shuxing was surprised, "What do you mean?" â
Weighing on the bridge, he turned around and said: "He regards Gu Huaiyi as a benefactor, but after Gu Huaiyi grasped the power of the Zheng family's army, he asked Tie Wire to be a spy for him, recording the names, appearances, etc. of everyone who passed by here, and collecting intelligence for him." He mistakenly thought that the iron line was the boat supporter here, and would not show any flaws, but whether the iron line was dead or alive completely depended on Zhu Weidong, if it weren't for Zhu Weidong's affection, he would have died a long time ago, and Zhu Weidong was dead, and he was originally going to be transferred to other places, but he found the book he recorded from his ship, and he was dirty. â
"I see." Tang Shuxing nodded, he knew that Gu Huaiyi would not miscalculate anything, he was just using the iron wire, that's all. This is the only way in and out of Shangdu, and the iron line can contact all the people who pass through here, so his information is very important, as long as Gu Huaiyi knows who is in and who is out, he can also roughly judge what is going on in Shangdu underground.
"I broke his limbs and threw him into the river to feed the piranhas." Sin devouring walked past Tang Shuxing with his hands behind his back.
Tang Shuxing was shocked, and he didn't know why he wanted to tell him the detailed process.
After devouring the sin on the bridge, after standing with the scale, he said: "He was directly killed by Gu Huaiyi, I know, it was Gu Huaiyi who asked him to make a detailed record, if no one is dirty and obtained, on the premise of no evidence, I will not take the iron wire, if I kill him on the spot, the creator will doubt me." â
"I see." Tang Shuxing still replied like this, he knew that devouring the crime was not dividing and provoking him and Gu Huaiyi, because there was no need to provoke him at all now.
The three of them crossed the bridge and walked in the jungle, and the funny thing is that this forest on the ground of Shangdu is the best preserved place that Tang Shuxing has ever seen, and it has not been polluted in the slightest, perhaps because of this, no one will suspect that there is such a strange underground city underneath this forest, and the owner of that city is a madman who tries to destroy the whole world.
Or follow the old road to enter the Gu hunting ground, it's just that things are not people, the former Gu hunting ground soldiers have become the Shangdu Defense Army, but this time there is no more cumbersome inspection procedures, the door is open, everyone stands on both sides and salutes, without squinting. In the eyes of this group of people, standing in front of them are the three most powerful people in Shangdu today, except for the Creator Lord.
The news of Tang Shuxing's victory over Devouring Crime had already spread back long before they arrived in Chiang Rai Province, and almost all the soldiers cautiously turned their heads to look at his back after Tang Shuxing passed through them, their eyes full of admiration and envy, because at the time of the last Gu Hunting Ground Competition, this kid was still an ordinary person.
After entering the adaptation zone, Tang Shuxing found that except for the soldiers and the police of the Control Bureau, he could not see the shadow of half of the ordinary residents at all, and after entering the fusion zone, he saw the same scene, until he came to the third district, that is, after the living area, he saw a dense crowd of people everywhere, these people were all full of smiles, sitting in groups of three or five, either chatting or watching the news broadcast on TV.
"These are the people of the former adaptation zone and the integration zone." Weighing and explaining, looking out from the one-way glass of the car window, "Reinhardt Hee Kai gne, let them change their living environment, and the residents are grateful to Dade, in fact, because the people in the original living area and the Thanksgiving area have gone out, and the people who go out have undergone clinical necropsy, as long as they have passed through the clinical necropsy inside Shangdu, the corpses will obey Reinhardt's orders 100%, so I don't worry that they will rebel or talk nonsense." â
"I understand, the original people in the living area and the Thanksgiving area are members of the first batch of corpse army, right?" Tang Shuxing shook his head and looked outside, feeling in his heart that Reinhardt was indeed smart, but in fact, he deliberately divided into several districts, and his purpose was also for this. Even without the clinical necropsy control, this group of people has been brainwashed successfully, just like the group of people who now live in the living quarters, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they are grateful to the so-called creator master, and the news they watch is all fake--all the pictures broadcast on the news are fake and edited, such as various disasters in the outside world, wars are frequent, but the Shangdu Defense Forces are carrying out peacekeeping operations all over the world for the future of mankind, and they are also carrying out arduous reconstruction work.
After this group of people has been brainwashed and clinically necropsy in the living quarters, they will also be sent out to fill the Wehrmacht forces outside and become the core fighting force of Shangdu, because they are extremely loyal and will never betray.
Reinhardt seems to be preparing to step by step, to get all the population of Shangdu Southeast Asia step by step here, and brainwash and reform, but the underground Shangdu has a limited population after all, and if it is done step by step in order, it will take decades or hundreds of years to complete the transformation.
No, Reinhardt can't wait, the fact that the adaptation zone and the fusion zone are empty now is the best proof that he didn't let other people in, he had other purposes and plans.
What could it be? Tang Shuxing pondered this question along the way, and before he knew it, he had come to the tower where Reinhardt was located. (To be continued......)
