Chapter Eighty-Six: The Blueprint for Recovery
"Immediately?" Jiang Xiao sneered: "Do you know that because of the permission, this seed has long been under the control of me alone?"
Lao Hua smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "So...... You can try again and see if it still obeys your commands. ”
Jiang Xiao still had a disdainful expression on his face, but after a few seconds, it immediately turned to shock.
"You...... How did you do it?"
"It's simple. Lao Hua smiled faintly: "What do you think...... Why did I talk to you for so long? Do you think ...... Am I really trying to educate her? It's just to distract you from what I'm doing. ”
Jiang Xiao clenched his fists hard.
He had been communicating with Lao Hua just now, and he didn't pay attention to the situation of the seeds. Only then did he notice that the spiritual connection between him and the seed had been severed at some point!
Previously, he could just teleport a single thought to make nerve bundles grow in this cabin, and build a seat that could connect the heart. But now, no matter how much they call, they can't get a response from the seeds.
"You...... How can it be possible to cancel my authority?" Jiang Xiao looked at Lao Hua in disbelief: "You are just a priest!
"You...... Sure enough, it was the rank of consul. I've had this suspicion before, but I haven't been able to confirm it. Lao Hua heard the three words of the consul, but there was no surprise on his face, and he still smiled faintly: "From the first time I saw you, I felt your body...... There is a unique aura. Although it is not fully awakened, after all, it is still different from other awakened people. ”
"And now, after meeting you, that feeling has become even more pronounced. Lao Hua's gaze lingered on Jiang Xiao: "So...... In order to circumvent your permissions, I can only be on this seed...... I did a little tricking on the fly. ”
"Hands and feet?"
"Yes. Do you remember, I just said that I was at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and I once came into contact with another seed? Although the seed was almost completely damaged, its core was still intact. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have succeeded in establishing a spiritual connection with it and obtaining all the historical information. ”
"And do you know?" Lao Hua suddenly smiled: "Although it is a biological transportation tool made by the ancestors, the core of the seed can be replaced. And I'm ...... Happened to know how to replace. ”
That is to say...... You replaced the core of this seed with yours?" Jiang Xiao snorted.
"Yes. Moreover...... At the heart of that seed, my authority has long been left. Lao Hua's face was full of confidence: "During that time, I have removed the core of this seed and replaced it with ...... The one at the bottom of the Dead Sea. And now...... It has managed to take over this seed!"
As he spoke, Lao Hua snapped his fingers lightly, and a huge sphere appeared in the open space between the four of them.
The sphere was nearly two meters in diameter, covered with countless small holes and synapses, and was wriggling slightly, looking like a heart that had been magnified countless times.
This...... Is it the core?
"But have you thought about it, I have the authority of the consul. I can revoke your permission at any time if I want, and refresh him to mine. Jiang Xiao smiled disdainfully.
"That's right. I admit it. Lao Hua nodded dryly: "But ...... The premise is that you can reach the core of the seed. Connecting to the seed through the nerve bundle puts you in a state of defenselessness. What do you think...... Do you have such a chance now, or is it possible for me to give you such a chance?"
He stood up from his chair and looked threatening, "If you're going to try it now, I don't have a problem. ”
"It seems...... You have absolute confidence in your own abilities, confident that you will be able to kill Xinyun and Tianyu when I enter the connection with the seed, right?" Jiang Xiao laughed.
"Yes. Lao Hua nodded: "Not only the two of them, even if they add you, they will not be my opponents." But...... I'm not going to kill you all. I've wasted so much time, not just to stall for time, but to convince you to be my companion. ”
"Becoming...... Your companion?" Jiang Xiao smiled dumbly: "In your new world plan, there is actually a place for us?"
"It's not you, it's you. Lao Hua emphasized the tone and emphasized: "Because ...... Your rank is Archon. And in the new world, there is a need for an archon. Of all the ranks, only the consul cannot be made from seeds. ”
Jiang Xiao was slightly surprised: "Your purpose...... Didn't you become the master of that new world?"
"Of course not. Lao Hua shook his head: "The new mother world...... Order is needed. And the most important part of this order is the various ranks, each performing its own duties. Since I was born a priest, I should be in my right place. And you, an archon, were born to be—our king!"
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond.
He originally thought that Lao Hua was just that kind of common careerist, who had that kind of common dreams and performed common routines. The so-called new world is just a kingdom that he created for himself.
Since connecting with the seed and knowing everything about the mother world, Jiang Xiao has almost determined all of Lao Hua's plans.
But Lao Hua's words completely subverted Jiang Xiao's original speculation.
He...... It's not just to sit on that throne yourself, but to give it up?!
This simply doesn't make sense!
"Yes. The expression on Lao Hua's face was very serious: "You heard it right. Indeed, I want you to be the king of the new world!"
Jiang Xiao carefully stared at the expression on Lao Hua's face, but he couldn't see the slightest sign of joking. And in those eyes, there is an incomparable fanaticism.
"What if...... If I refuse, what are you going to do?"
Lao Hua sighed: "That...... I'm going to have to kill you. As much as I would like you to promise me, I must not allow any disharmony in the new world that will come to along. To put it simply – you are a bonus question, not a mandatory one. ”
"I see. Jiang Xiao nodded.
The man in front of him is not a careerist.
But sometimes, there is a kind of person who is more terrible than a careerist.
That's a madman.
More than 30 years of pursuit have made Lao Hua a fanatic thoroughly. And the former mother world has already become the supreme belief in his heart.
What he wants from it is not any personal benefit, but the psychological satisfaction that comes to him when the imaginary world comes true.
Because in Lao Hua's heart, only the former mother world is the most beautiful, best and purest.
But Jiang Xiao couldn't promise him no matter what. Just thinking about that mother world would make Jiang Xiao so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.
Originally, Jiang Xiao never knew why every time he heard about those high ranks, when he heard that Xinyun was proud of himself as a priest, he would feel an irresistible sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.
But now, he knew everything.
"Unfortunately, I have no way of granting your request. No matter which world it is, I don't have any interest. Jiang Xiao sighed: "What's more...... You're mistaken, I'm not an archon at all. ”
"I ...... Mistaken?" Lao Hua frowned: "Jiang Xiao, are you insulting my intelligence?" You said it yourself just now, because of the rank of archon, you can obtain the highest authority of the seed core. ”
"I'm not going to deny what I've said. Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "It's just that you misunderstood." I was just...... Just having the authority of an archon does not mean that I am a consul. ”
"With the authority of the consul...... But not the consul?" Lao Hua frowned and looked at Jiang Xiao unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about! What is your rank?"
"I ...... too I don't know. Or, I don't have a rank. Jiang Xiao shook his head: "But this is no longer important to you." I think you should understand my refusal. ”
"Yes...... Already...... It doesn't matter anymore. Whether you don't want to or can't, at least you've rejected me. Lao Hua sighed softly: "It's a pity." I would have been real...... I hope you can be the new world I created...... of the King's. And now, I have no choice but to kill you. Unfortunately, you won't have any chance of winning. ”
"Okay. If you can do it. Jiang Xiao shrugged: "Come on." ”
Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu had just been silently listening to the conversation between Jiang Xiao and Lao Hua. At this moment, after seeing the conversation break down, he immediately made a gesture of preparation for battle.
Zhao Tianyu put his hands together, ready to cut out his knife at any time. And Xinyun's spiritual power was instantly raised to the peak.
But what makes Xinyun strange is that Lao Hua has no signs of movement!
Xinyun's ability allows her to see the movement of objects around her at any time. Specifically, in terms of performance, there are always looming shadows in her vision.
And those phantoms are the objects that are about to be displaced, the future trajectory of action.
When the ability is activated to the limit, the phantom can even last for about ten seconds. This also means that any action that the other party may take in ten seconds will be seen at a glance in Xinyun's eyes.
And whether you want to dodge or attack through a flaw, it is a simple thing for Xinyun - as long as you let your body be in the void of the illusion, you will never be hit by the other party. And aiming at the opponent's future trajectory, attacking towards the phantom, it will even appear that the opponent has collided with him.
But now, in Xinyun's eyes, Lao Hua's body is around, but there is no illusion!
In other words, for the next ten seconds, he will continue to remain the same, not moving at all.
He...... Don't plan to fight?
Xinyun was still puzzled in her heart, but the hairs on her whole body suddenly stood upside down.
This is not the result of any of her abilities, but simply an instinctive reaction of her body to the danger that is coming.
Myself...... Right now...... It's dangerous!
But why ......? Obviously, the surrounding objects show no signs of moving!
This thought suddenly appeared in Xinyun's mind, and she suddenly heard Jiang Xiao behind her shout: "Get out of the way!" and grabbed her collar at the same time.
didn't have time to think about it in their minds, Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu immediately jumped away from the sofa and rolled on the ground twice.
Just as the three of them rolled and dodged, the upper half of the sofa slowly slipped off and rolled to the ground.
The incision is smooth and straight, without a trace of blemishes.
A soft fabric sofa, no matter how sharp the blade is, will never make such a smooth cut.
"The movements are fast and the hunches are sharp, but ...... Can you stay out of the way?"
Lao Hua sneered.
And he sat on the couch from beginning to end, without even moving his fingers.
Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu's hearts were full of chills.
If it had been, they would still be sitting in that chair, and they hadn't dodged it...... So now it's not just the sofa that has been cut, but also the bodies of the two of them.
But here's the problem...... Lao Hua, who obviously didn't make any moves...... How the hell did you do all this?!
And also...... Jiang Xiao, how did you see Lao Hua's attack position?
"What are you capable of...... What exactly?"
Xinyun slowly got up from the ground and stared at Lao Hua.
The surface of the incision was almost the same as the effect caused by Zhao Tianyu's high-frequency hand knife.
But here's the problem...... Where is Lao Hua's blade?
