The room was filled with smoke.

The pungent smell of tobacco is simply suffocating.

Jersey sat on the edge of his desk, the cigarette in his hand almost burning to his fingers.

He stared at the briefing on the table, unconscious, and sighed deeply.

The demon cave is becoming more and more active, and the repulsion of the blood barrier is getting weaker and weaker, and almost every once in a while, there will be blood demons who escape.

Even if the blood demon comes to the Mi Chamber, his strength will be greatly suppressed, and he will only have about the fifth order strength in a short period of time, but with his strong vitality and treacherous ability, a very small number of blood demons will still be able to escape from the encirclement and suppression of the first front.

In this context, the pressure on the first and second fronts is increasing.

The secret division has already sent a message that in a week at most, the first front must retreat and merge with the second.

At the same time, the third front has begun to move back in stages.

This is a notice, not an application.

The front line has a high degree of autonomy, which is a right given by Jersey from the beginning.

He always hoped that this right would never be used one day.

But I didn't expect that this day would come after all.

Jersey rubbed his temples, trying to ease the headache.

At this moment, a hazy figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The figure wore a hood, the shadow obscured the face, dressed in a shabby yellowed robe that seemed to be bubbling with a turbid smell, and a strange orange lamp in his hand, looking mysterious and eerie.

If you continue to stay awake, I'm sure your headache will never get better. 】

Raising his head slightly, as if he glanced at Jersey, the figure first shook his head, and then said in a low voice.

His voice sounded strange, like something coming from underwater, dull and muddy, with a strange stickiness.

Jersey didn't seem surprised by the figure's appearance.

Without looking back, he said casually, "I just hope that your visit this time will bring good news, my side is bad enough." After a pause, he added, "I want to sleep, but unfortunately I can't." ”

The hazy figure, as if weightless, floated to Jersey's desk.

Condescending, he lowered his head, "Perhaps, you can let me knock you out?" ”

"Well, forget it, you won't agree to this proposal at all, so I'd better tell you why I'm here first."

"One bad news, one good news."

"Which one are you going to listen to first?"

Jersey leaned back, his whole body sunk into the chair.

He didn't answer directly, but subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, his eyes obviously out of focus, "What could be worse?" ”

The hazy figure tilted its head, "Like the death of a witch?" ”

Jersey Wen's heart was shocked, he sat up instantly, and wanted to say something, but he lowered his shoulders in a dejected manner.

"She told me that she was running out of time...... I didn't even remind her more than ten times, I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect it to come true this time. ”

"She's definitely not going to let herself die in vain, what did she do?"

"I don't know the details."

"But judging from the information she left behind, her death may be able to delay the complete outbreak of the demon cave for three years."

"It's probably a blessing in the midst of misfortune."

"She bought us time."

The hazy figure replied.

"Three years?" Jersey sneered, "What's the use of me asking for these three years?" Can't she live a few more years? ”

The hazy figure couldn't help but freeze when he heard this, "You're really cruel." ”

"But considering that the future of humanity is almost entirely on your shoulders, you can't do it without being cruel or ruthless."

"I can understand it, but I still think you're scary."

“……”

Jersey lowered his head and looked coldly at his voice, "Bad news, good news?" ”

As soon as his words fell, an information crystal was thrown from the opposite side.

Raising his hand to catch it, Zexiwen frowned slightly, "What is this?" ”

He doesn't think that an information crystal can change the future of mankind.

On the contrary, the existence of witches is crucial to human beings.

The hazy figure chuckled, "Do you remember Yuan Neng?" ”

"Yuan Neng?" Jersey raised an eyebrow.

"As far as I personally understand, Yuan Neng is very useful for laying a transcendent foundation, and the popularity rate is extremely high, and the only drawback is that it takes a slow time."

"Hmm...... If there is more than ten years of development, the overall strength of mankind will be multiplied several times. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed a little disappointed, "It's a pity that human time is running out. "Quietly.

Hearing Jersey say this, the hazy figure laughed, and the laughter was like the gurgling sound of boiling water, which was extremely strange.

"You guessed the wrong day, I was surprised."

Hearing this, Jersey's face did not move, staring quietly.

"Tsk, that's a boring reaction of yours."

"Forget it, I'll just say it."

"Here is the follow-up ...... of Yuan Neng sent by that little genius "Yuan Neng Advanced Detailed Explanation".

"I think it's very interesting, the [Yuan Neng Natal Bead] proposed, it's simply amazing."

"But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is ...... Yuan Energy can actually be cultivated at an extremely fast speed. ”

"How?" Although Jersey Wen was intent on moving, his expression remained unchanged and he still asked calmly.

"Do you know the 'Clear Crystal'?" The hazy figure didn't answer directly, and the conversation changed.

"'Crystal of Clarity'? Detection of high-order crystalline substances? I remember that the Ministry of Science and Technology didn't seem to pay much attention to this crystal. Jersey replied.

"That's because they don't know Yuan Neng!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Jersey Wen's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the 'Clear Crystal' can speed up the cultivation speed of Yuan Neng?" ”

"It doesn't say that in the "Advanced Detailed Explanation of Yuan Energy", but the secret encrypted information of the information crystal core is very detailed."

The tone of the hazy figure was a little strange, "It's as if that little genius knows about my existence, as if he showed it to me." ”

"The core encryption technique of the information crystal is very strange, it does not conform to any existing encryption logic, and it doesn't feel like something that belongs to this world."

"If it weren't for my special existence, I would have been born to ignore any encryption and peek into the secrets of the information."

"I'm afraid no one will ever know that there is such a secret in it."

Jersey was silent.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop before he said slowly, "The witch's prophecy is also related to this one. ”

"The witch's body began to crumble, and it seemed to be after that prophecy."

"And now, in this way, he has made contact with you, the Keeper of Secrets......"

"Heh, maybe the witch is really right, there will be violent turmoil in the future because of his appearance."

"I don't know if this drastic change will be good or bad."

"But when you think about it, there are only three years left for humanity now, and it doesn't seem to matter if it's good or bad."

He pondered for a moment, then said, "With the help of the 'Pure Crystal', how fast can Yuan Neng's cultivation speed reach?" How many fifth-order orders can be born in three years? ”

"Hah! Fifth order? Jersey, you can't help but underestimate that one. The Secret Keeper scoffed at Jersey's speculation, "If you are a genius of a transcendent system, and you can cultivate Yuan Energy, with the help of the 'Clear Crystal', after three years, it will not be impossible to spell the eighth and ninth orders in the imagination." ”

Jersey Wen's heart was shaken and violently shaken, and he didn't hold back for a while, and stood up from his seat, "Are you sure it's true?" ”

"Of course it's true, it's hard to think I'm going to lie to you." The secret keeper couldn't help but mumble again, "You and I are connected to each other, and no one will lie to you if I lie." ”

Jersey calmed down at this time, "I'm sorry, I was so surprised. ”

"If that's the case, then all of our plans are going to change."

"It's a lot of trouble, but there seems to be a lot of hope for the future."

Then he looked at the Secret Keeper again, "Do you want your big shadow to follow him?" Such a world-class arrogance, before it is fully grown, how to say it, it must be protected. ”

Unexpectedly, the secret keeper slowly shook his head, "Do you think I didn't do it?" ”

"My eight hundred shadows, from the strongest shadow to the weakest dust shadow, have all tried to get close to him."

"But every time I was thousands of kilometers away from him, I felt an uncontrollable extreme panic in my heart."

"It's as if the next second will be a catastrophe."

The Secret Keeper's tone was a little illusory, "I can be sure that this feeling was not given to me by him, but by some existence in the depths of the Demon Cave. ”

"My guess is that the being in the demon cave is eyeing him, but since I can't be 100% sure of his location, there will be an indescribable aura sweeping there...... In fact, I was looking for him. ”

Jersey Wen just sat down and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.

After carefully reviewing all the information about Li Boyang, he frowned and said with a strange expression, "That kid seems to have been hiding in the new bunker and has hardly ever gone out. ”

"If your guess is true, then there must be something on the new bunker that can obscure his aura and prevent the aura of some existence in the depths of the demon cave from locking in."

He paused at this point, and said a sentence almost at the same time as the Secret Keeper - "'Clear Crystal!'" ’”

Jersey Wen's face flushed, "If this is the case, then the effect of the 'Clear Crystal' and Yuan Energy is unimaginable. ”

"But the more important it is, the more careful it is not to choke on food, let alone to lock up the hierarchy...... After all, we don't know what the Yuan Energy Talent that can really be called a genius looks like, whether these future geniuses are among a few powerful people or among the masses, and what role can the bloodline ability play in this...... We don't know. ”

"But even if it's a simple number of people, I personally prefer the masses."

"My idea is very simple, only a large enough number of people can breed enough geniuses."

"But if this is the case, many policies will have to be withdrawn, and the future will be like crossing the river by feeling the stones."

"It really gives me joy and headaches."

The Secret Keeper nodded lightly in deep opinion.

"I'm not afraid to cross the river by feeling the stones, I'm not afraid to make mistakes, I'm afraid that I'm wrong and don't know how to change them."

"Future...... It must be an era of constant correction, constant correction, and constant change. ”
