Chapter 56: Dream of Revenge

"Your Majesty, you are here! The concubines are still looking for you everywhere. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A beautiful and slender court lady dressed in a white narrow-sleeved shirt with a lapel collar and a slender long skirt with a high waist walked into the top hall of the Yaning Palace on the fresh cypress wood floor reflected in the red by the sunset. The red silk cut in light gauze coiled between her arms fluttered in the wind from time to time as she walked; Her long hair is combed upwards into a tapered bun, with hairpins and hairpins, and she wears a peach-shaped crown decorated with pearls and jade, and a phoenix bird. Wearing light makeup, painting eyebrows, yellow stars between the eyebrows, crescent moon between the cheeks, and slightly rouge on the lips, the face is beautiful and moving.

The glow of the sun and the resplendent of the new palace are laid out in a corresponding, red and yellow warm colors are fiercely intertwined. And the emperor she called was standing on the balcony at the end of the hall, the figure was reflected in the clouds outside the palace, the ethereal and quiet background, and the faint sound of the guqin, everything was like an oriental light ink landscape painting, which seemed to be real and illusory.

"It's Zitong." Emperor Yaning I turned his head, and his face could not be seen clearly due to the backlight, but he could feel that the emperor was smiling.

"Marshal Liu Yuetai and Brigadier General William have been waiting in the hall for a long time... Your Majesty, what are you looking at? ”

The young queen paced with small steps, quietly passed by the palace maid who was playing the qin, and in a short time she approached Yaning I, bowed sideways, and smiled. At the emperor's feet, the palace garden is in full bloom with white peonies piled up like a thousand layers of snow, surrounding the Wolong Pond in the middle, and the water is a bewitching pink in the smoke and water. The thirteen-year-old crown prince was playing with his guards in the garden, and a few monks who copied the Heart Sutra, Yaning I, a devout Buddhist, allowed the monks to discuss Buddhist teachings and study scriptures in his newly built palace.

The Emperor raised his hand to hold his wife, and with the other hand stretched out into the distance, where he could see mountains and distant waters, but the Empress understood that nothing was more attractive to the Emperor than the mirage in front of him, surrounded by mist.

"I had a dream," said the emperor, looking at the open and picturesque scenery in front of him, he had just completed the great cause of unifying the Yaning continent that had been divided for a hundred years, and at the time of the great ambition of the great industry, he imagined that his empire could last for thousands of years like the ginkgo trees that could be seen everywhere in the mirage imperial city, "A dream about the future of Yaning." ”

In the garden below, the crown prince finally made the Kong Ming lantern in his hand with the help of the guards, which is a traditional Yaning craft of tying a frame with bamboo strips, pasting flexible bamboo linen paper, brushing with tung oil, and tying soybean oil cloth balls on a horizontal rack at the bottom of the lantern. The prince lit the cloth, the air inside the lantern was heated, and the bamboo and linen paper immediately puffed up, and as soon as he let go, the Kong Ming lantern floated up, crossed the balcony where the emperor and queen were located, and flew to the top of the palace covered with glazed tiles and the gold and silver phoenix on the top of the tower, shining in the rose-colored sky like a rising star.

。。。。。。

Instead of the fare of Kong Ming lanterns, the sparks were followed by undead extradition people holding the flag of the Revival Society speeding through the air, escorted by a dozen mechanical white ghosts, dragging the giant ferry behind them like a scorching meteorite towards the Governor's Palace, the former Yaning Palace.

The sparks caused by the ferry's high speed and the friction of the air flickered between the fog emitted by the ship's hull, just like the dream of the undead in the waters of the Santu River in the legend: a dream that contained the inextricable feelings of the deceased, a dream of revenge across time because of reluctance and anger, turned into a sharp sword piercing the heart of the golden god Meda Busoya hanging in the air.

Outside of Alex's shield, Zhongjiu grinned and put his mecha hands into the electromagnetic cover surrounding the governor's mansion, and then opened them to both sides, in a vain attempt to rely on the power of the mecha to fight against electromagnetic waves and tear open an entrance, but before the opened passage was enough for half a person to pass, the electromagnetic waves instead smashed the two hands of Zhongjiu mecha into pieces.

“FXXK!!!!” Although his body was not injured, the psychic system transmitted the damage of the mecha to Nakaku, causing him to roar in pain, and a series of alarms in the cockpit, looking at the destroyed hands, Nakahisa was helpless and angry with Alex's shield.

Inside the ferry, Hong Yuesheng endured the sharp pain in her right shoulder and manipulated the Lionheart mecha to jump onto the center console and try to turn the direction of the ferry.

"The action order is locked and irrevocable! Repeat, the action order is locked... The computer in the command room made a broadcast and rejected Hong Yuesheng's operation.

"Bastard!" Hong Yuesheng was so angry that he waved his left hand and slammed it into the center console, between the lightning and sparks, the machine in front of him was scrapped, but the operation of the ferry did not stop.

He shook his head, reason made him understand that anger alone would not solve anything, and that there had to be another way... He closed his eyes and tried to use his perception to find the power he could use: although there was never any telepathy-related course in the training of the Asian-American coalition government, and the identity of the "Alien" had never been officially recognized, Hong Yuesheng had become self-taught in the past year, and more and more consciously used his superhuman perception ability.

Sou~

A fast-moving energy fluctuation streaked across Hong Yuesheng's perceptual area, and he hurriedly chased that energy in the ocean of consciousness.

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

Unexpectedly, he found more energy gathered nearby, and Hong Yuesheng gradually understood where these fluctuations were coming from.

"Woohoo!" The white ghosts, who rushed into Alex's shield with the air ferry, screamed with a green light in their eyes, and rushed around the ferry at full speed like the guards of the Grim Reaper. The frequency of their voices was particularly harsh in the area sealed off by Alex's Shield, causing the people in the garden below to cover their ears with their hands and look pained.

Suddenly, one of the white ghosts twitched nervously, then shook in pain, and by the time he raised his head again, his eyes had turned ice blue.

"Goo!"

It made a different cry than its kind, and then turned around and rushed towards the ferry at full speed.

Rumble!!!

The white ghost slammed into the bow of the ferry, detonating the hidden bomb in its body, and the explosion enveloped the bow of the ship in flames, and the broken hull debris fell, causing the crowd below to scream.

Nakahisa and Brunhilde, who was escorting his father, also sensed the fluctuations of the Anomalies at the same time, and Nakahisa, who was living outdoors, stared at the sky shrouded in smoke and dust, and the lock box on the mecha screen quickly searched for the target.

Boom!!

After a short period of suffocation, the mechanical extradidilist dragged the ferry through the scorching air barrier, and a large hole was punched out of the bow on the right side, but it did not stop the air ferry from continuing to rush towards the governor's palace - after all, compared to the huge ferry, the power of a white ghost is only as strong as a praying mantis blocking the car.

In the middle of the ferry, the Lionheart Mech was on one knee on the ground, his hands clasped tightly on the floor of the cabin, keeping his balance in the violently shaking ferry. Hong Yuesheng in the cockpit raised his head and his eyes widened, his entire pupil turned ice blue, the mechanical heart was running at full speed, and the left atrium seemed to be buried in hot gold.

"Lisa! More! I need more strength!! He yelled.

More of the white ghosts hovering around the ferry had their eyes turned the same icy blue as Hong Yuesheng's, and their cries changed to "cooing", and then they turned to rush towards the undead extraditable man who was pulling the ferry. The black-robed extradition man burst out of a more vigorous green glow in his deep eye sockets, grinning a bloody mouth that cracked all the way to the base of his ear, and screaming threateningly at the rebellious white ghost - as the spokesperson who directly executes the orders of the ferry's central computer, the extraditer assumes the role of commanding the white ghosts, and for the mechanical white ghosts of low-level artificial intelligence, which party accepts the order depends entirely on the strength or weakness of the signal source, so on the surface, the rebellious white ghosts fight against the undead extraditerr, Behind the scenes, it is actually the competition between Lisa, who represents Hong Yuesheng, and the central computer of the ferry.

A white ghost rushing up was swept by the extraditerr's oars, and its limbs were shattered and flew to the ground. The crowd on the ground had no time to dodge, and several people were crushed to pieces by the ghostly remains that were rolled into fireballs, and the ensuing explosion killed more people. The other rebellious White Ghosts were not only timid in the face of the powerful extraditer, but also hesitated to act.

"Woo wow wow !!" Hong Yuesheng gritted his teeth and used all his strength, the ice blue light almost burst out from his eyes, and the green tendons spread down from the corners of his eyes and heart, spreading to his face, neck, and body like the roots of life. The fluorescent energy flows down the veins of the body into the mental sensor attached to the body, and then conducts it into the Lionheart mecha, and then the built-in neurons in the mecha maximize his telepathy, thus increasing Lisa's control range and strength like a signal transmitter.

“BROTHER!!” is also an anomaly, even in broad daylight, Zhongjiu can see the light and mist like a nebula surrounding the ferry, "Hold on, buddy!" He muttered, his palms drenched in sweat from nervousness.

The ice blue in the eyes of the white ghosts once again became the dominant color, ignoring the shock of the extraditers, and they pounced on the fast-moving extraditers and the air ferry, and successively blew themselves up after hitting the hull of the boat, blocking the ferry's progress.

"Hong Yuesheng!" Brunhilde, who had just taken his eyes off the retinal recognition system and swiped his badge to open the door of the underpass of the Governor's Palace, even prayed for Hong Yuesheng involuntarily.

"What did you say?" The tall tank girl next to her asked—there wasn't any video system in this secret passage to the safe house, so the others didn't know what Brunhilde was feeling.

In fact, even Brunhilde himself was surprised that a kind of perceptual resonance of the same supernatural person transcended the usual sensory limitations of mustard and ordinary human beings, and became a completely sensual emotion, which was almost inconceivable for Brunhilde, who had always demanded himself with reason.

The black robe covering the body of the undead extradition man had been burned to shreds, and it was like adding a pair of wings to the burning black skeleton. Only half of the skeletal face was shrouded in dark green eyes, which looked even more terrifying. The ferry behind it had also been caught in flames, and its shell had been barely supported by steel supports, crumbling, and from some angles it could even be seen Hong Yuesheng in the center of the hull, his whole body being entangled in the flowing fluorescent energy.

The number of white ghosts has also been lost by half, and the last intact ghost roared and pounced on the extradition person's face, ready to deliver the final blow!

Burst!!

Hong Yuesheng's pierced right shoulder finally couldn't withstand the long-term pressure load, the wound opened from the inside out, and a stream of red blood poured out of the body, suddenly like a deflated balloon, falling short. The power that had been concentrated on the mecha also poured out of the wound, and the aura of ability instantly weakened, and the eyes lost their ice-blue brilliance. At the same time, the surround electronic screen in the ferry commander's room was turned on again in the flames, and a portrait of a man appeared on it, and the lips of the portrait moved, about to say something.

The white ghost, who had already rushed to the distance of the extradition person, suddenly lost control, and the person who was the extradition waved a huge claw with flames and grabbed the neck, instantly twisted it and threw it away, and then the extradition person drove straight into the fire phoenix on the top of the governor's palace!!

With the first bang, the extradition and the fire phoenix hugged each other, and in the flames, the golden glazed tiles rose into the air as if they had escaped gravity. The hull of the entire Sky Ferry then crashed into the Governor's Palace, which first began to disintegrate on the top floor, and then quickly spread down a moment later, causing an explosion that sent countless sparks and building debris to the ground.

“HELP!!” "Help!!"

In the garden, people who were hit by falling rocks screamed for help, and there were also people who did not have time to withdraw from the Governor's Palace who fell from the sky due to stumbling or suicide, and the scene of purgatory was alive, so that Nakahisa, who was standing outside Alex's shield, was stunned, and watched the old palace in the past, and the landmark buildings of the current Asian-American coalition government collapsed in the flames, and the tornado-like smoke and dust swept everything, fiercely pushing down the fleeing crowd, and also overturning Nakaku and the soldiers behind him. The smoke and dust blocked out the daylight, shrouding the entire palace mountain in darkness.

"BreakingNews!"

As soon as Governor William and Mr. Stephens were sent into the safe house specially prepared for the Governor, Brünnhilde saw the news of Yaning's national television broadcast on the TV outside the house, and the two TV hosts Stuart and Peter in the sub-screens in the left and right corners of the picture were pale and gloomy, and the main screen seemed to show the Governor's Palace collapsing in billowing smoke.

“Oh! My! God!!”

Everyone was startled by the image in front of them and froze there.

"Hong Yuesheng?!" When she saw the wreckage of the air ferry at the top of the Doge's Palace, Brunhilde cried out without thinking about it, but she immediately realized that her reaction was obviously inappropriate, and immediately suppressed her voice, and even she herself was surprised by the reaction just now. Of course, everyone around was in shock, and they didn't have time to think about this.

Passing through the wreckage all over the ground, between cries of fear and screams of hysteria, Brunhilde finally sensed a familiar but faint telepathic - the Lionheart mech lying in the ruins was battered, but still managed to save the pilot's life. Hong Yuesheng barely raised her head from the broken cockpit, her face covered in blood, and there was only a buzzing echo in her ears, and no other sound could be heard. Not far away, a man with only one arm left had just risen from the rubble, staring at the sky in a daze, his severed hand twitching on the ground. More of the injured people wailed in pain, although Hong Yuesheng couldn't hear their voices for the time being, the severe pain made him have to give up the struggle, his head was tilted up, and the miserable white ashes fluttered down from the air, as if he had seen the snowfall scene with his sister Lingzi in the old city before, and every time at that time, Lingzi would stick out his tongue to catch the falling snowflakes and say, "Brother, it's so cold!" ”

Lingzi's appearance gradually changed back to a fire phoenix, as if he struggled to spread his wings in the air for the last time, and finally fell with the wreckage of the ferry. At the same time as the entire hull touched the ground, a beam of light was activated and shot straight into the air, and then evolved into a huge human face, replacing the previous illusion of the god Meda Busoya, which was the person Hong Yuesheng saw when the ferry crashed...

“Colonel_Victor! The_Viceroy's_house_is_being_overrun_now!) The Doge's Palace is now under attack! In the Mirage Intelligence Bureau, Rupert, who was blocked by the silver fox, turned his head and looked at Victor in surprise.

“We_can_wait. (There's no hurry.) Victor's eagle-like eyes stared at Rupert. "The_rescue_can_wait_as_well (It's not too late for the rescue force to arrive.) )”

“What?? (What do you say?) )”

“My_father,the_great_Viceroy,treats_Yanin_people_with_way_too_many_kindness_for_long_enough. It_is_time_he_gets_a_dose_of_his_own_medicine. (My father, Governor William, has been too gentle with the Yanings, and has indulged them for too long, and it is time for him to taste the bitter fruit of his own brewing.) )”

Victor's calm answer finally dawned on Rupert.

"Now, tell_me, Which_side_you'll_standing? (Now, tell me, which side are you on?) Victor smiled like a devil again.

An eerie murmur came down the underground passage into the safe house.

“What’s_that_sound? (What sound is this?) Brünnhilde asked. She was standing in the outer hall of the safe house with the guards. Located deep underground in the Governor's Palace, the safe house is divided into two rooms, the larger room is used to house the officials who have taken refuge and the citizens who have been specially protected, and the smaller room is specially customized for the Governor, with better protection measures and more than enough support for more than a month. The two rooms are connected by a hall.

“Whining_from_the_dead_emperor… (It's the sorrow from the emperor...) One of the guards muttered in reply.

”Shut_up! It’s_bull****! (Don't talk nonsense!) The guard's words were immediately stopped by the captain of the guard.

“It’s_a_gust_of_wind. (It's the sound of the wind coming from the passage.) The captain of the guard reversed.

Brunhilde understood what the guard was saying, and she had heard some of it before: the underground safe house had been completed when Yaning I had built the palace at the beginning, and was originally intended to be a place of refuge for the emperor in times of danger.

In the second year of the outbreak of the Asian-American War, Yaning I, who was originally strong and energetic, suddenly fell seriously ill, and legend has it that he was secretly poisoned. His young son hastily assumed the throne to command the war, but Yanin II was always considered unfit to succeed to the throne, and since then the Yaning Empire has been greatly defeated, with heavy losses in the army and a mirage in the capital. In the same year, Yaning I, who was on the sickbed, was carried into an underground safe house that did not see the light of day, and never came out again. In the winter of the following year, in the same building where the Emperor had died of illness, Emperor Yanin II presented a letter to William of Medabsoa. General Jones signed the surrender of the defeated nation, thus becoming the first year of the American-Asian calendar and the beginning of Confederate Day. To commemorate this important historical moment, when William returned to the mirage as governor, the government of the United States and Asia changed the palace of Yanin I into the governor's palace.

Since then, however, there have been rumors that the ghost of Yaning I has been haunting and hovering underground. Some claim to see his ghost roaming the underground cloisters in a gray robe, the same pajamas worn by Yanin I on the night he was poisoned, stained with blood. Although Governor William later forbade the spread of these rumors, the news continued to spread among the Governor's Guard.

The ghostly voice seemed to be Emperor Yaning constantly saying:

"I had a dream, but now it's far away from me...
