Chapter 101: Everything Has a King 2
readx;? After some time, the light of the flashlight gradually dimmed until it became a narrow dim circle of dim light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I blinked vigorously, hoping that my eyes would adjust to the darkness as soon as possible, and that the person holding the flashlight would be clear.
Suddenly, the aperture of the flashlight disappeared, leaving only the glimmer of the tungsten filament of the bulb.
This is not a good sign, as soon as the lights go out, I can't see anything.
"Hey, who the hell are you-" I lunged forward desperately, trying to catch the man.
Unexpectedly, the pounce I was determined to win was completely empty. There was no one behind the flashlight, only the air that could not be seen or touched.
When I looked down again, the flashlight's bulb flashed twice and slowly went out. I reached for the flashlight, but in a trance, I grabbed it again.
"What? Obviously...... It's just glowing, and it's shining in my eyes, why can't I catch it? Hallucinations, everything is an illusion, and the flashlight is an illusion within an illusion...... But I clearly felt that it was real, and it was there, in the middle of the room......"
I was plunged back into the boundless darkness, and there was a dead silence all around, like an eternal desolation.
"Awake?" someone asked.
When I opened my eyes, I felt dizzy and had to close them again.
At a glance, I saw Xue Ao leaning down, staring at my eyes up close, and a heavy snort sprayed straight into my face.
"What time is it, what's going on with the next project?" I immediately remembered what I was most concerned about.
"You just slept for half an hour, I called the Ghost Bodhisattva, and the progress is good, and it can be completed almost within the scheduled time. Xue Ao said lightly.
I opened my eyes for the second time, and the feeling of dizziness continued unabated, and Xue Ao's face slowly swirled in front of my eyes.
"What's wrong with me? I'm so dizzy. I gritted my teeth and held my hands on the table, trying to get out of the swivel chair.
"You're too tired, you should get some rest. Xue Ao laughed.
I was only halfway up when I was hit in the temple like two drumsticks, and there were two muffled "boom" sounds, knocking all my physical strength away, and I had to fall into the swivel chair again in vain.
"Don't move, I said, you should get some rest. Xue Ao's laughter became extremely strange.
I know it's not good, but I still don't want to think of Xue Ao as an enemy.
The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. I don't have anything in me at the moment, and even if someone tries to plot against me, they can't find a reason to do it.
"Mr. Xia, I like what Miss Qu just said, everything has its king - in the martial arts world, there is the king of kung fu, in the film industry, there are actors, they are the kings of film and television, in the real estate industry, there will still be the king of real estate under the gathering of tycoons, in the military and business circles, there are also the kings of weapons and commerce. This is the unique logic of the Chinese, because since ancient times there has been a saying that 'one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers', and even animals care so much about the word 'king', let alone the highest level of primate ruler human beings? Therefore, in the world of thaumacy, there will definitely be a 'king of thummy' in the future, leading the industry, moving in all directions, shaking the past and the present, and the world is invincible. Looking a little further, it is not surprising that Chinese thaumaturgy is king, and it is the greatest astonishing feat to be called king in the field of thaumaturgy in the world. So, who can become the 'king of thaumaturgy'? Is it you, Mr. Xia? Miss Qu also said that you will be a well-deserved 'king of thaumaturgy' in the future. Hearing her say this, I was personally very, very moved, because I had the honor to work with the future 'King of Thaumaturgy' and fight side by side today, what an honor I, isn't it? Mr. Xia, let me ask you, what do you think of what Miss Qu said? What do you think of your own life? What do you think of the crown of 'King of Thaumaturgy' about to fall on your head?" Xue Ao kept whispering in my ear.
I tried to restrain my dizziness, adjust my thinking, and judge the current situation.
No matter how tired I am, I won't be so dizzy that I can't get up. It seems that the problem lies in the bottle of red wine.
It is likely that Qu Ling was also tired of red wine, so he fell down after a few drinks and fell asleep until now.
I was the last to pick up the wine glass, and the next one could only be Xue Ao.
Now, the only thing I can't explain is that Xue Ao is a senior assistant to the investors of the "Mirror Room", so why should he plot against me and Qu Ling? After all, we are also contributing to the "Mirror Room", and at least we will not cause chaos and have no malicious intent.
"I'm not the 'King of Thaumaturgy,' I don't know anything about thaumaturgy, and I'm not a person in the industry. So, what others say has nothing to do with me. The mouth grows on Miss Qu, she likes to say whatever she wants, that is her freedom. I replied in a low voice.
In the middle of speaking, I felt my chest churn up and down, and I hurriedly raised my hands to cover my chest and rubbed it slowly.
"No, no, no, when you say that, you don't mean it at all. Everything has its king, and everyone has the ambition to be the king and hegemon, which is the greatest merit of human beings. Only with ambition can mankind continue to progress, and new dynasties will replace the old ones, allowing the wheels of history to roll forward on their own without any power. To put it simply, you don't want to be the 'king of thaumaturgy', and some people covet such a laurel crown, lest others claim to be the king first, and you are left behind. I'm not afraid of Mr. Xia's laughter, since I joined the school, I have been working very hard, and I have set my goal as 'the first person in the thaumaturgical world', and my master has always supported me - until he met you!"
Xue Ao suddenly raised his voice, as if his chest was suddenly full of resentment.
"I haven't met the Commander, you must be mistaken. I replied with a strong grip.
"That's not important, the important thing is that Master told me that if there is only one 'King of Thaumaturgy' in the world, it must be you, and I have no chance to fight for it at all. We're both young, and there's no way I'm going to wait until you're at the end of your life to snatch this crown back, so I'll have to find another way. This bottle of wine is really good, it sells for more than 400 yuan in the supermarket, and I have added some unique drugs that can treat insomnia and improve the sleep quality of normal people. Mr. Xia, when the strength of the wine passes, you won't get dizzy - if you can survive until then. Xue Ao laughed again, but this time the laughter was eerie, like a jackal that had successfully hunted.
"What do you want?"
"In the long run, I must find the 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror' that everyone is enthusiastic about, but the nearest goal and the latest question is--what is 'Kill Chu'? Who does 'Kill Chu' kill?Why do these two words appear under your wine glass?" Xue Ao picked up the wine glass I had used and poured it casually, and the red wine spilled on the ground, revealing the messy handwriting on the bottom of the glass.
My eyes widened and I could see clearly that it was the word "kill Chu".
The glass was handed to me by Qu Ling after pouring the red wine, and she was the biggest suspect in writing these two words.
"Killing Chu" is an action plan, and the target is likely to be Chu Chu from Miao Jiang. So, I also wondered, even Qu Ling, who had just flown from the United States to Jinan, knew about this, was she also one of the participants?
"That's a code name for a project, and it has nothing to do with you. That's all I can say.
"Who is 'killing Chu' killing?" Xue Ao asked persistently.
"A girl surnamed Chu from Miao Jiang. That's all I can say.
Obviously, Xue Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess the answer was very close to what he knew, so he finally let go of his hanging heart.
What does "kill Chu" really mean, I still can't be sure.
Before I rushed to the "Mirror Room", Chu Chu had already left the Sofitel Ginza Hotel with the Blood Gut Gu Po, and his whereabouts were unknown.
If "Kill Chu" is aimed at her, what is the use of Qu Ling writing these two words under my wine glass?
"Okay, let's talk about another issue, the 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror' is a treasure that the Xia family has always had, and in your generation, there is neither a treasure nor any news of a treasure, which is really unreasonable. At worst, at least some clues must be left in your family, such as formulas, maps, slips, notebooks, photos, ...... If you have, just tell me quickly, don't wait for me to be impatient, I really cut off the clue of the 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror'. Xue Ao said again.
This young man's figure is very well-proportioned, his facial features are also dignified, very cultivated, and temperamental, but what he does is obscene and obscene, which is really incommensurate with his appearance.
It is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to draw bones, and knowing people and faces does not know their hearts.
I think Xue Ao belongs to the kind of demon who hides very deeply and hides a knife in his smile. As soon as others see him, they will be confused by his appearance, which will eventually lead to falling into his trap.
"Xiao Xue, I know you don't believe what you say, but I still have to repeat it again, I really don't have any clues about the 'Divine Aspect Water Mirror'. That treasure is likely to have been lost in the history of the anti-Japanese war and the civil war, and will never be recovered. Now, I have no long things, my sleeves are breezy, and I don't have anything of value, let alone a treasure like the 'Divine Water Mirror'. Today, I don't want to fight with you for anything, give me two hours, let me settle Tang Wan's affairs, and then kill or kill you. "I tried to be patient, not wanting to anger the other person completely.
"Hehe, Mr. Xia, you are too naΓ―ve! In today's situation, I am determined to do it, so I am not prepared to let you walk out of this conference room alive. Xue Ao finally took off his disguise and revealed his true face.
At this moment, I only regret that I have wasted the good time of the past ten years, and I have not laid the foundation for the future.
"You want me to die?" I laughed.
"That's right. Xue Ao took a step back, squinted his eyes at me, and suddenly said to himself suspiciously, "You really ...... If you don't understand those things, don't you understand, isn't there no one in this world who understands them? That's weird, that's weird, okay, the 'Divine Mirror' is gone?"
Right now, I'm still too weak to get up.
On the left, Qu Ling was still asleep, not knowing what was happening around him.
On the other side, Tang Wan silently succumbed to the cramped wheelchair, unable to give me any help.
At the critical moment, perhaps "self-help" is the only way to survive.
"I'm sorry Xiao Xue, the situation you investigated is very accurate, and I can't provide you with any new information. I let out a long sigh and closed my eyes to die.
"Hey, can you tell me, where might that thing be? Or can you simply tell me, what exactly is the 'Divine Aspect Water Mirror' and what is the magical function?" Xue Ao was victorious, but he refused to end like this, he probably wanted to create a miracle in the last hour.
"You're a senior assistant to the Mirror Room' investor, can you not know the answer?" I asked rhetorically.
After this question, Xue Ao suddenly became confused: "Yes, I'm an assistant, how can I not know the answer?" But the answer is so simple, it doesn't look like an answer, but like a joke......
I immediately asked, "What's the answer?"
Xue Ao paused for a moment, and then replied: "Then the answer is - a mirror." β
I laughed dumbly, because the answer was ridiculous, but it was actually true.
Since there is a word "mirror" in the four words "Divine Water Mirror", then it is of course related to the mirror, and saying that it is "a mirror" is a completely correct but uninteresting answer.
Xue Ao shrugged his shoulders and added a little helplessly: "At least until now, everyone has gotten the same answer. Before I got here, I was still under the illusion that you could offer a different way of thinking!"
I shook my head: "I don't know anything about it, and it's the first time I've heard the answer you said. β
Xue Ao laughed fiercely: "In that case, there will be no regrets about killing you." β
