Chapter 675: On the banks of the Lethe River
Lola yawned and asked, "Gu Qingshan, how long are we going to stand?" β
"Wait a little longer." Gu Qingshan Road.
He looked down on the city, focused and serious.
"You believe that chicken?" Lola asked.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful, I have to look at the city, and if there's anything unusual, I'll be the first to see it right away." Gu Qingshan Road.
- The colored rooster is actually the "God of War Intelligence" option, so he can't believe it.
"But we've been standing here for almost ten minutesβ"
Lola was halfway through her speech when her voice suddenly stopped.
Just listen to the sound of a radio that envelops the entire city:
"Please note that the citywide charity auction is about to begin."
"Every professional who arrives in the Black City, you can take out your most precious treasures and put them up for public auction."
"Note that this is a charity auction that only takes place every 3,000 years or so."
"Black City will not take 50% of the profits, and all auction proceeds will belong to you."
"Say silently: 'Black City Manager', and the auction menu will pop up."
"Cherish this opportunity."
"Let's get started!"
The whole city fell silent for a short time, and then for a split second it fell into a loud noise.
Everybody's going crazy.
Black City doesn't charge money, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Is that it?" Lola asked.
"Probably," Gu Qingshan stood on the roof of the building and read, "Black City Manager." β
A soft light fell from the sky and spread out in front of him, turning into an arc-shaped light screen.
"Mr. Gu Qingshan, you are a strong person who has comprehended the power of the realm, and I will directly open the VIP interface for you."
This line of words is displayed on the light screen.
"Thanks, what can I do?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Drop off a lot, or browse the auction page to bid on an item." Electronic channel.
Gu Qingshan said: "I want to browse the auction items." β
Tens of thousands of auction categories suddenly appeared in front of his eyes-
Weapons alone are divided into more than 100 categories, and protective gear is divided into more than 400 categories according to use and type, various cultivation methods, minerals, plants, special contracts, artworks, machines, historical secrets, formulas, formulas, news, intelligence, organs, slaves, strange objects, buildings, spaceships, relics, licenses, bloodlines, specimens, doomsday images, exclusive knowledge, etc., etc., and so on.
As time goes on, more and more lots appear, and the entire list of lots expands at a visible rate.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and asked, "Can you filter the lots?" β
"Absolutely." Electronic channel.
Gu Qingshan said: "In the history of the dusty world, there were some short-lived world systems, and they quickly dissipated, I want to focus on the items left over from those world systems. β
- The curtain once talked about the dusty world.
He had come to Dust the World and retrieved the fake artifact for Renedore.
He once mentioned that when he left, the entire Pantheon's stronghold in the dusty world was reduced to ashes, and it no longer existed.
β but something must have been left behind.
Gu Qingshan thought about it, countless years ago, the only one who could have anything to do with him was the Pantheon.
The Pantheon is extremely insignificant in the dusty world, and the curtain has only been there once, so what kind of connection can it have with itself in such a place?
"Screening for you, please wait." Electronic audio channels.
The list of blockbusters on the light screen is gone.
- There are only more than 1,000 auction items left.
They appeared in front of Gu Qingshan's eyes in the form of holographic images and text introductions.
Gu Qingshan looked at it seriously, and quickly excluded the auction items one by one.
Time passes slowly.
Gu Qingshan had already excluded more than seven hundred things.
In fact, the Pantheon is not the only world system that has disappeared from the dusty world, there are many other world systems.
So Gu Qingshan still saw a lot of strange things.
β but none of it had anything to do with him.
Lola sat honestly on his shoulder and said nothing.
She also knew what Gu Qingshan had done in the ancient era, so she silently checked the items with him.
Suddenly, she felt that Gu Qingshan was a little strange.
"Gu Qingshan?"
Lola whispered.
No response.
She leaned over to look at him, only to see him staring at something on the light screen, his expression full of incredulity.
Lola followed Gu Qingshan's gaze and immediately found the auction item.
It was a pendant with a black thread.
Stone statue pendant.
It depicts a serene old man, holding a long-handled sickle, sitting on a stone with his hand on his cheek, napping.
This is a substitution contract, a token of death.
"Nope! It's obviously -" Lola said in a lost voice.
She reacted quickly and shut her mouth.
- Never reveal any secrets in front of the Black City Administrators.
She shifted her gaze to the text next to the pendant:
"The Death Pendant, also known as the 'Substitute Contract', is a treasure left behind by the Pantheon."
"Explanation: The person who owns this thing, the god of death will prolong his life for him when he is dying, so that the magical ability against the sky is not gratuitous, and the god of death will draw double the vitality from the last person who has this thing."
Gu Qingshan had already regained his composure and said, "I want this Death God Pendant." β
An electronic voice sounded: "This is an item from the Great Collection, with a price tag of eight million evil coins. β
Gu Qingshan said: "I will take out some rare gems, please convert them into evil coins for me." β
"No problem, Your Excellency Gu Qingshan." Electronic channel.
It didn't take much time for the Death God Pendant to be sent to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan didn't look at it.
He concentrated, read all the remaining items, picked a few more items, and completed the transaction on the spot.
After doing all this, he switched menus and picked all kinds of strange things from various categories of auction items to buy.
He didn't stop until he had bought hundreds of treasures.
"How long does the auction last?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Three days." Electronic audio channels.
"Very good, I want to take a break now, please give me an absolutely quiet environment." Gu Qingshan Road.
"No problem, the best Holy Devil Hotel in Heicheng has an emperor suite, the room number is 99219, if you need it, I will give you the room card directly." Electronic channel.
"Give it to me." Gu Qingshan Road.
Less leaning.
A card fell into Gu Qingshan's hand.
"The Holy Demon Hotel is a joint venture business of several spirits, and no one will dare to make trouble here, and no one will snoop on and disturb Your Excellency's rest." Electronically synthesized audio channels.
"Good."
Gu Qingshan held the room card and waved it gently.
A teleportation light flashed.
He disappeared from where he was.
He appeared in an extravagant room with a view of the entire Black City.
Lola opened the small satchel and pressed her hand quickly inside.
"It's okay, Gu Qingshan, that pendantβ" Lola whispered.
"We've got to see if this room is safe or not." Gu Qingshan Road.
"Don't worry, as soon as I entered the door, I used six hundred and ninety-one kinds of treasures to detect, no problem, but just in case, I activated another thousand five hundred and thirty-five shielding treasures, and then we will open the umbrella again!"
Lola said, putting the flower umbrella on Gu Qingshan's head.
The Refuge of All Worlds is in effect!
Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the Death Pendant he had just photographed, and placed it in his hand.
"Sister Anna said that she finally hung this pendant around your neck to judge if you were safe." Lola said.
"Yes, I always carry it with me." Gu Qingshan Road.
He put his hand around his neck and pulled out a long black thread.
Soon, the sculpture appeared in his hand.
The two Grim Reaper pendants, exactly the same, lay quietly in his hands.
"Why are there two?" Lola wondered.
Gu Qingshan was silent and said, "Instead of asking why there are two, it is better to ask whose works these two pendants are." β
Lola was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yes, you are the god of death in the pantheon, if this pendant was not made by you, then who pretended to be the god of death and made these two identical pendants?" β
Gu Qingshan didn't speak.
He looked at the God of War interface, only to see a line of small firefly words appear on the interface:
"You've got two Death Charms."
"The conditions for item awakening have been met."
"A certain power hidden in the Death Pendant is activating."
"A picture of a bygone era is about to emerge."
"Five,"
"Four,"
"Three,"
"Two,"
"One!"
Boom β
A faint breath floated all around.
Light and shadow.
Everything went from vague to clear.
Gu Qingshan and Lola looked at the surrounding scene, and the two of them froze at the same time.
At the foot of Tiewei Mountain, on the bank of the Lechuan River.
The wind and smoke are rolling, and the tide rises and falls.
One by one, the dead floated in the river and went with the current.
The sky was dim, and there was no one around, except for a lonely figure.
It was a woman.
It was as if she had been waiting by the river since time immemorial.
No one knows what she's waiting for.
She just sat on the shore and stared at the river stupidly.
I don't know how long it took, but in the fog behind her, another white-haired woman appeared.
The white-haired woman walked up to her, sat down, and accompanied her to look at the endless river of Lethe.
"Are you really going to keep waiting?" The white-haired woman asked.
"Yes." The woman said.
The white-haired woman sighed and said softly, "Ann...... No, Red Bird, listen, I have something to show you here. β
The red bird turned his head and looked at the white-haired woman beside him.
"You have the power of death in you, are you the later Grim Reaper?" Red Bird asked.
"Yes, now I'm going to show you this thing, you must remember it." The white-haired woman said.
She took out a pendant and shoved it into the red bird's hand.
- Death Pendant.
"I could feel the power of death on it...... Supplementing the life of one person with another is its function. "Chihu said.
"Yes, it will become a token between you and Gu Qingshan, connecting your life with everything." The white-haired woman said.
"You do this...... For what? Chihu asked.
"Red Bird, you have to remember that when you meet him after you give birth, you have to give him this thing - this is very important." The white-haired woman said.
"How important?" Chihu asked.
"It's about life and death for him." The white-haired woman said.
"Why should I trust you?" Chihu asked again.
The white-haired woman laughed and said softly, "Actually, it's a long story, but you already know that he is from a later era, so I can explain this matter." β
"By the way, my name is Su Xue'er, and it all started on the day I graduated from high school......
Two women sat on the banks of the Lethe River, one talking, the other listening.
I don't know how long it took, but Chihu lowered his head and looked at the Death Pendant in his hand.
She looked at the pendant earnestly, as if she wanted to engrave it in the depths of her soul.
Never forget.
