Chapter 484: The Empty City: The Only One (5)

"Bai Ji imprisoned Fenghe, placed the Thousand Year Key under house arrest and sacrificed to the Guardian City, and forbade adult men over the age of fourteen to leave the City of War. Because when fighting with the ghost clan at that time, the other party could always get information about the two-edged city. Therefore, in order to ensure that secrets are not leaked, the control of Two Blades City has long been gradually transferred to the only few high-level positions. So when Feng He was not there, and the Millennium Key and others were not out, he easily mobilized the entire Two-Bladed City. ”

After the transfer of personnel was completed, Bai Qi began to negotiate with the Millennium Key and others, saying that it was a negotiation, but in fact it was just a unilateral threat, but fortunately, the agreement was finally reached. The Bai Qi Society is responsible for introducing the ghost clan into the war city, and then bending the time and space near the war city by the thousand-year key, turning it into a field for cultivating the ghost clan, completely sealing that space. And the Millennium Key needs to protect the people of the Guardian City and lead them to rebuild the Holy Grass Star. ”

"However, there is another clause in the agreement, the son of the Millennium Key, the Millennium Crown, will follow Bai Qi into the City of War, and the imprisoned Fenghe needs to join the decision-making level of the priests who rebuild the Holy Grass Star. When people and the others knew about Bai Qi's practice, they actually didn't trust them. ”

"When the children in the Guardian City grow up in a few years or so, this huge group will inevitably replace the dominance of the thousands of people in Tianman Mountain, and with their support, Feng He will inevitably become the most powerful voice of the Holy Grass Star. And Fenghe will never forget the city of war. ”

"Bai Qi's arrangement went well, and a few days later, the War City was defeated in a skirmish, and the Ghost Clan seized the 'opportunity' and took advantage of the brief chaotic defeat of the War City to attack it. And the Millennium Key and the others, who had already been ready, successfully blocked that time and space. It is worth mentioning that it was also the first time that Millennium Key and others tried to bend the space-time of an area into a closed loop, and all the previous ideas were theoretical, but fortunately, it succeeded. ”

"After War City became an absolute cage, this plan was made public by the people who had set it up by Bai Qi. After a night in the City of War, the entire city was dressed in mourning clothes, and 800,000 people knelt on the east side of the City of Guardianship to pray for the people of the City of War. ”

Ye Qingmian listened quietly, Murong did not forget that he did not describe the war, but just a few numbers made Ye Qingmian know its cruelty. There are only a million people in Two Blades City, but there are 800,000 women and children under the age of fourteen in the war zone, that is, there are only about 200,000 men over the age of fourteen.

And these 200,000 also include the wounded, the elderly, and those fourteen or fifteen-year-old children. Although he was considered an adult at the age of fourteen in Two Blades City, for Ye Qingmian, that age was a child. The rainy season, the most beautiful flower season in life, has not yet arrived, but it has ushered in the blood season first.

This may be the war, and this may be the reason why Bai Qi made a completely different choice for the wind and the wind. In the modern era of the earth, many people despise polygamy in ancient times, but they did not see the fate on the battlefield of that era, nor did they understand that it was an inevitable choice under a serious gender imbalance.

However, what made Ye Qingmian admire Bai Qi was that he handed over the future and glory to Fenghe, and kept the war and pain to himself, but according to the course of history, his efforts were in vain.

Murong did not forget to interrupt Ye Qingmian's thoughts, and paused for a long time before continuing, "In order to commemorate their relatives and warriors in the closed time and space, the people of the Guardian City have deeply engraved their names on the walls of the Guardian City. They feel that they cannot wait for the return of those people, but hope that future generations will not forget them. ”

"Soon, the Guardian City began to reclaim a large amount of farmland, and at the same time, it began to prepare for the rebuilding of the Holy Grass Realm. But just a year later, something terrible happened. The research center of the Millennium Key and others in the City of Two Blades was attacked by a group of masked mobs in the middle of the night, and all the information about the curved time and space in it was lost. ”

"It was done by the ghost clan lurking in the body of the women and children in the Guardian City, right?" Ye Qingmian asked without recognizing the interjection.

"Yes. Murong didn't forget to nod, "This matter is very important to the millennium key and Fenghe, but it is almost a clue anyway." Because the ghost clan is like another personality lurking in the human body, even the lurked person himself cannot be detected, and he will not even have the memory of being controlled. The ghost clan uses the identity of a normal person as a cover, and it can tamper with the memories of the lurked person, and testify to each other in a unified voice, so Fenghe and all the investigations have no results. ”

But Millennial Key guessed that was a possibility, because he had done it himself. When Chu Fenghe proposed to let the Millennium Crown enter the City of War, the Millennium Key couldn't refuse for the sake of righteousness, but he was not willing to let his son fall into that closed time and space that might never be unlocked, so he made an attempt. Let the river sacrifice, which is already short-lived, and the thousand-year-old crown swap the immaterial life. ”

"The death of human material carriers will lead to the loss of shelter for immaterial life, and will eventually be exposed to the impact of the chaotic immaterial information flow of the universe. Moreover, the material carrier can only play a nearly complete reduction on the chaotic immaterial information flow of the universe, rather than an absolute shield, so even if the material carrier can live forever, its own immaterial life is also constantly weakening, and its immaterial life energy is also dissipating in a small way all the time, so the immaterial life intensity of the old river sacrifice is already very low. ”

In the process of this reversal, the Millennium Key discovered that the immaterial life of the Millennium Crown and the River Sacrifice coexisted in the same vehicle in a very short period of time. At that time, the Millennium Key didn't think much about it, but later he felt that if the difference in the intensity of non-material life was too large, it was possible for the strong side to dominate the carrier of the weak. ”

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with the revival of the Holy Grass Realm, so he let it go, and it wasn't until the research data of the bent time and space was lost that he thought of the possibility that the ghost clan might be lurking in the Guardian City. Because most of these mud-legged aborigines don't even know the words, it is useless to steal those materials. ”

"Once this assumption is made, the Millennium Key will be able to find the reason for the loss of the data, and it is those ghosts who want to crack the closed plane. The millennium key can't do this, just as destruction is always harder than creation, dropping an atomic bomb to blow up a city only takes a moment, but it will never be possible to restore the city perfectly to its original state. ”

"But the ghost clan comes from a higher civilization, from a force that can attack from past history, so the Millennium Key feels that things are getting more and more serious. But this involves the natives of the Guardian City, so it's very difficult to do. With a huge advantage in numbers, the people of the Guardian City have become the backbone of the revival of the Holy Grass Realm, and because they are the ones who proposed that plan, they have been being sidelined, and their rights have been lost too much. ”

And the thousand-year-old key can't confirm his conjecture, let alone tell everyone that the body of the river sacrifice, which has been sleeping when the disease is dying, actually carries the soul of his son. The Millennium Key convened a secret meeting, and after the River Festival entered the City of War and the Millennium Crown was forced to sleep by himself, only sixteen people participated in the decision-making this time. ”

"This time they want to find a solution to the crisis, and they are initially discussing how to get Fenghe to accept the suspicion that the ghost clan is lurking, and convince him to move forward with the investigation. But then they found out that even if the entire Guardian City cooperated with them, the problem still seemed to be unsolvable, because they didn't have a way to figure out the rules of lurking. Moreover, if the ghost clan can infiltrate silently, it can also divert the hidden target, so even if someone is found, it is meaningless. ”

"At the secret meeting, some people raised doubts about whether there would be anyone in the room who was lurked by the ghost clan. The Millennium Key explained that the sixteen sacrifices present should not have been lurked by the ghost clan, otherwise the ghost clan would not need to take the risk of forcibly snatching the research materials. Moreover, as a sacrifice in the Holy Grass Realm, in the process of prayer and sacrifice, its immaterial life is not as strong as ordinary people, and it is not suitable for the symbiosis of the ghost clan. ”

At the end of the discussion, the Millennium Key and others discovered that the most terrifying thing about this special life of the ghost clan is not the frontal war, but the lurking and manipulation of this dark place. The Millennium Key doesn't know if the ghost clan will breed under such comfortable conditions, so they don't even know whether the Holy Grass Star of the Holy Grass Realm will be the Holy Grass Star of the people of the Holy Grass Realm or the Holy Grass Star of the Ghost Clan. In the city of war, people harvest the ghosts, but in the city of protection, it seems to be feeding the ghosts. ”

So the final result of the discussion was to give up all the glory and credit of the sacrifice, break the agreement with Bai Qi, bend the time and space of the guardian city into a closed loop, and bury the disaster forever. Then as long as the cycle time of this closed loop is short enough, the ghost clan will not be able to crack it. Within this finite time and space, they will simply be constantly reset and restarted to study. ”

"Because at that time, the entire Guardian City had a bad opinion of the Millennium Key and others, and not too many people paid attention to them. So the covert operation of a dozen of them was successful. The power of the prayer ritual distorted time and space once again, causing all the people of the Guardian City to fall into a closed time and space. And when all this happens, the people of the Guardian City don't even know about it. ”

"The people of the Guardian City only knew that the Millennium Key and the others had left overnight, but no one had stopped them. The next morning, the people who went out to farm found themselves seemingly blocked by an invisible wall, and this transparent wall resembled the time barrier of the war city. It was only then that the people of the city he was guarding realized that he had been betrayed. ”

"Some people are angry, some people are terrified, some people are cursing the thousand-year key, and some people are cursing Bai Qi, saying that he believed the wrong person, chose the wrong path, and went to the city of two blades. The next morning, the man who went out to work found that he seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall. That's right, the cycle time of the Guardian City is only a short one. For the people of the Guardian City, they can only bask in infinite shock and anger, and then repeat the day every day after that. And for those ghost clans who lurk and want to break the closed loop of time and space, this short day has fundamentally hollowed out all the soil needed for a miracle to appear. ”
