Volume I: Chapter 61 Cooperation
"Hydra emblem?" Xun Yu had never heard of this name, but he recalled that when he was looking at the picture of Cao Bao's autopsy report, he noticed that Cao Bao had several scars on his left shoulder in a circle, which should also be nine, although they did not rotate, and each scar was not rounded enough, but his intuition told him that this nine-headed insect emblem was an important entry point for the Xiahoudun incident, "What is that?" ”
Luo Yunxiu threw Liu Wenjing in his hand on the ground and said, "That is the emblem on the body of the nine-headed insect and its subordinates. ”
"Hydra?" Xun Yu let out a sigh, his eyes rolled in his eyes, he seemed to have heard of "Hydra" somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Luo Yunxiu pointed to a book on his desk and said, "It is also mentioned in the books of your world. ”
Xun Yu walked to the desk and saw a copy of "Journey to the West" on it, so he muttered in a low voice: "Bibotan ...... the horse?" ”
"Do you remember?" Luo Yunxiu asked.
"I remembered it," Xun Yu was confused now, completely confused, and teased, "But this is the character in "Journey to the West", we are in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", your lawsuit is in the wrong place......"
Luo Yunxiu didn't know that Xun Yu was joking, and asked, "You mean, you are not in the same camp?" ”
"Of course not!" Xun Yu thought to himself, this can be answered, and he is also admired. But Xun Yu's mood suddenly became heavy, he looked at Liu Wenjing who was lying on the ground, and he had a lot of thoughts for a while.
"And her, what do you want to explain?" Luo Yunxiu asked.
Xun Yu thought for a while, sat on the sofa, and said, "She is the secretary sent to Xiahoudun by the Council of the Linglu Bureau......
"Oh?" Luo Yunxiu also sat down, "Then where is Team Leader Xiahou now?" Tell him why. ”
"How did you meet Xiahoudun?" Xun Yu diverted the topic.
"I met in a research institute a little south of this place," Luo Yunxiu said without reservation, "At that time, Team Leader Xiahou went there to get information, and I happened to go there to investigate.
"Going to the institute to get information?" Xun Yu was a little puzzled, because Xiahoudun's work and research institutes usually did not intersect.
"Exactly," Luo Yunxiu explained, "he went to ask for personal information about Cheng Shangyuan. ”
Cheng Shangyuan...... Sure enough, it was because of him. Xun Yu slightly, he faintly felt that the truth of the matter seemed to be about to be revealed today, this Luo Yunxiu might not only not become an enemy, but might tell himself some useful information. So Xun Yu's nervousness disappeared at once, and he stood up and walked towards the coffee machine.
Luo Yunxiu saw that Xun Yu was no longer talking, so he asked, "Why is there no follow-up?" ”
"I need to take a look at my thoughts," Xun Yu stood in front of the coffee machine and began to pick up the coffee, "Maybe this incident is the root cause of Xiahoudun's framed and forced exile." ”
"Team leader Xiahou was forced into exile?" Luo Yunxiu was a little surprised, "What's going on?" ”
Xun Yu came over with two cups of coffee, put one in front of Luo Yunxiu, then sat down, took a sip of coffee, and then said: "There are demons destroying the Hades Gate, and in the process of stopping them, Team Leader Xiahou has been demonized for some reason, and he accidentally killed the members of the Spirit Record Bureau, and now he is being wanted by the Spirit Record Bureau." ”
"Destroying the Underworld...... Luo Yunxiu muttered in confusion, then picked up the coffee, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it again, "What is this?" ”
Xun Yu told Luo Yunxiu, "This is coffee, which is one of our ...... here Drink. ”
Luo Yunxiu took a sip of coffee, nodded with satisfaction, then put down the cup and said, "If you said that the Hades Gate is the entrance and exit of your world to connect with the Yin Division, I will probably understand a little bit. ”
"Understood?" Xun Yu pushed his eyes, he wanted to know what Luo Yunxiu knew, "What do you understand?" ”
Luo Yunxiu said: "This starts with the attributes of the hydra, the hydra is a chaotic physique life, I don't know that it has existed in this universe for tens of thousands of years, it is not based on any kind of matter or consciousness, nor does it rely on the five elements and yin and yang. Almost 60 years ago, the power of the Hydra was sealed in a place I had never heard of by the current Grand Governor of the Dragon Kingdom, and it has since disappeared. Now it seems that the place where the power of the Hydra is sealed is your world, and the Nine-Headed Worm has attracted the traitors within my Heavenly Swallowing Empire, and here he wants to restore his chaotic power to take revenge on the Dragon Kingdom, and the Heavenly Swallow rebels also want to rebel with the help of the power of the Nine-Headed Worm. ”
"More than 60 years ago?" Xun Yu asked.
"Exactly," Luo Yunxiu raised his eyes, "According to my investigation here, your world is different from the time and space where Tiantun is located, according to deduction, the 60 years of the Jinglong Kingdom must be about 3,600 years of your here." This also explains why the letter written by your person named Cheng Shangyuan 20 years ago was technically appraised by my side but thought it was 4 months ago. ”
Xun Yu just picked up the cup, heard Luo Yunxiu mention Cheng Shangyuan, almost spilled the coffee, hurriedly put the cup back on the coffee table, and asked, "Wait, why can Cheng Shangyuan contact you?" ”
"Actually, this is also what I'm curious about," Luo Yunxiu frowned, "Cheng Shangyuan used positioning transmission to send me this letter, that is, to transform this substance into a yin and yang separation state and completely integrate it into time and space, so that any substance can be transmitted to the designated target in an instant, but why he chose me as the target, I don't know." Then Luo Yunxiu looked around, "Moreover, I don't think that your civilization stage has the technology of positioning and transmission. ”
"So, since it was sent 4 months ago, why did you receive it now?" Xun Yu asked.
"This is also part of the content of my investigation," Luo Yunxiu took another sip of coffee, "It should be that someone on my side deliberately concealed this letter, which shows that the information that Cheng Shangyuan knows is likely to be related to the Tiantun rebels." ”
"And what did he say to you?" Xun Yu asked.
Luo Yunxiu said: "He asked me to tell him the exact time. ”
"Why do you want to know the time?" Xun Yu hurriedly asked.
Luo Yunxiu turned his head to look out the window, thought for a while, and said in a speculative tone: "I think he probably feels that this world is unreal......
"Unreal?" Xun Yu didn't know what Luo Yunxiu was talking about, and it was a little difficult to accept, "How is it not real?" ”
Luo Yunxiu said: "Actually, I'm not very sure, but when I first came here, I found that the spirit son aura here was unstable, and I could neither use remote vision ability, nor can I go back in history, that is to say, someone in this world deliberately set up a kind of barrier, and the other side of the barrier is accelerated faster than the speed of light, so it is preliminarily concluded that this is not on the surface of time and space, can you understand?" ”
Xun Yu shook his head, "I can't understand." ”
Luo Yunxiu smiled helplessly and continued: "Okay, but there is one thing you should understand, that is, after I came here, I observed and found that the people here are all carbon-based material body lifeforms, and there are only three souls and seven spirits, such life forms are probably not enough for you to use the five elements freely, and some consciousness body creatures should not live in your world." ”
Xun Yu could only understand part of Luo Yunxiu's meaning, and he didn't know where to start for a while, so he had to explain: "Ordinary people really can't use the five elements to cast spells, but we are fighting spirits, different from ordinary people. ”
"Fighting spirit?" Luo Yunxiu took a sip of coffee and seemed very satisfied with the taste, "What is Fighting Spirit?" ”
Xun Yu was shaken by Luo Yunxiu's question, he really didn't know the true concept of the word "fighting soul", so he had to explain deliciously: "It's probably that the person dies, the soul disappears, and the soul of the ancient heroic soul with similar personality traits enters the corpse and becomes a new life, that's all." ”
"Interesting...... Luo Yunxiu smiled, "Then the problem is, the soul alone can't do this, this must require a power that can combine the soul and the spirit, so how does this power come about?" ”
"This ......" Xun Yu shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Luo Yunxiu asked again: "In other words, there are only two kinds of things that can produce adhesion soul energy, one is the attribute Extreme Yin Corpse Technique, and the other is the Attribute Extreme Yang Moon Crystal, which one do you rely on?" ”
Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the art of corpse control, and I don't know what the Moon Crystal you are talking about." All I can tell you is that when the fighting spirit is created, the corpse that is the container will normally miraculously recover, no matter what state it was destroyed into before. ”
"Moon Shadow Crystal ......" Luo Yunxiu muttered, and then smiled smugly, "In this way, everything makes sense." ”
"Makes sense?" Xun Yu looked dazed, "How does it make sense?" ”
Luo Yunxiu said: "Let's not mention how the Moon Shadow Crystal came to you this time, but the Moon Shadow Crystal provides the foundation for controlling Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in your current world. And your so-called fighting soul is through the power of the Moon Crystal to obtain abilities that are different from ordinary people. Then the hydra used the Moon Shadow Crystal to speed up the speed of the extreme yang energy through his production of fighting spirits, and when the extreme yang energy reached a certain level, it destroyed the underworld, introduced the extreme yin, and produced chaos, laying the foundation for his revenge plan. ”
Xun Yu didn't speak, just nodded.
Luo Yunxiu continued: "The cycle of the Moon Shadow Crystal producing the Extreme Yang should be half a year, that is, 30 years for you here, so 20 years ago, it was just when the operation of the Moon Shadow Crystal began to change, at that time, with the operation of the crystal, the world inside the barrier began to become distorted or something, producing some subtle changes, or there were some things that did not conform to the logic of your world, this Cheng Shangyuan is very smart, he has his own standard for measuring the authenticity of time and space, although I don't know what it is, But he must have discovered the problem brought by the Moon Crystal at that time, and wanted to do something, but was stopped by the Hydra. Today, 20 years later, Team Leader Xiahou wanted to investigate Cheng Shangyuan's affairs, but he was framed by the Tiantun rebels who had reached an alliance with the Hydra. ”
Xun Yu listened, didn't speak in a hurry, went through Luo Yunxiu's words again in his mind, carefully swiped them, and then spoke, "Although I can't fully understand what you said, I can probably understand your logic." So what should be done to stop the plans of the Hydra and the Sky Swallowing Rebels? Do you know where they are? ”
Luo Yunxiu shook his head, "I've been tracking the movements of the rebels, but every time they escape, if the remote vision ability can't be used...... It seems that we have to start from the place where Cheng Shangyuan sent the letter. After that, Luo Yunxiu raised the coffee cup again, but found that it was empty, so he put it back on the coffee table and looked at Xun Yu, "Do you want to cooperate?" I've just arrived here, I'm unfamiliar and need a partner. ”
Xun Yu glanced at the empty coffee cup, he knew very well that if the truth of the matter was really as Luo Yunxiu said, then it would definitely not be something that the Spirit Record Bureau could handle, let alone think about saving Xiahoudun by himself. At this time, Xun Yu's mind was already a mess, but he still pretended to be calm and asked lightly, "Can I trust you?" ”
"What else can you do but trust me?" Luo Yunxiu seemed to see through Xun Yu's mind at a glance.
"Let's go, I have better coffee there," Xun Yu stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the materials Xun You had prepared for him and put them in his briefcase, stood at the door with his briefcase, and turned to look at Luo Yunxiu, "Xiahoudun's younger brother is coming back in a while, he is a more rushing person, so it's not good for him to bump into him." ”
"That's why you guys here are weird." Luo Yunxiu also stood up, and with a finger at Liu Wenjing, who was lying on the side, she loosened her tie, and then prepared to leave with Xun Yu.
I saw that after Liu Wenjing was untied, she suddenly stood up, but her eyes were still confused.
"She, don't deal with it?" Xun Yu asked.
Luo Yunxiu raised his eyes and said confidently: "It's easy to deal with her, and when she wakes up, she won't remember what happened, and all she can remember is that she came to the office and gave you the documents you just put in your bag." ”
"That's fine, maybe you can make us pawns." Xun Yu nodded, but was a little worried, "I'm afraid she's an ordinary human being, after you toss like this, can she still live normally?" ”
"She? She's probably not a creature......" Luo Yunxiu opened the folding fan and shook it a few times.
"Not a creature?" Xun Yu was taken aback, "What's that?" ”
Luo Yunxiu put away the fan again, thought for a while, and said: "I think the soul in her body is copied, and her physical body seems to be formed with this copied soul, which may have been a corpse, or a bionic doll or something......"
"Corpse puppet?" Xun Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, isn't this a treasure thing made by Zhuge Liang? How did it get into the hands of the enemy, could it be that Zhuge Liang rebelled? This Liu Wenjing is fake, so where is the real one? Is it a fake one that was lined up at the beginning, or was it replaced by a fake one when it arrived in Yandu? A series of questions made Xun Yu a little confused.
"You know this better than I do." Luo Yunxiu spread his hands, "Is there any problem?" ”
"It's okay, let's talk to you slowly......" Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief, stabilized his mind a little, and then motioned to Luo Yunxiu to leave.
So Luo Yunxiu tidied up his clothes and left with Xun Yu.
