208. Give up the destruction of the world
The famous top-shirt Liu Zhen, known as the strongest dragon slayer in history, punched Constantine, kicked Norton, and destroyed the Bronze City in one go, the most noble dark queen in the world, the ultimate weapon prepared by the secret party! Like the burning moon in the night sky, the top-shirt Liu Zhen!" Gao Mi stopped playing cards, and said excitedly: "I know that the Kassel Academy will send support sooner or later, but I really didn't know it would be you! Thank you to the Kassel Academy! Thank you to President Angers! Long live Professor Schneider!"
"Wait, this place is full of the effect of words and spirits, no matter how strong the power is, it's useless, right?" Wan Boqian questioned.
Gao Ming was instantly deflated.
Liu Zhendong looked at the west, and finally made sure that he could catch his breath here on these three card-playing wastewood, canceled the preparation of Liu Zhen's mode, breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the bench, hugged his arms, and raised the corners of his eyes, full of majesty.
"Well, guys, before I save you, who can tell me where 'Zhao Menghua' is?"
"You're looking for me?" the first cadaver pointed at himself in surprise.
"You are?" Liu Zhen looked the man up and down, thin and thin.
Zhao Menghua looked at the cards in his hand, threw them all away with a frown, sighed deeply, and spread his hands, "As you can see." ”
"Chen Wenwen was looking for you, and he said that you were missing and he couldn't enter here himself, so he entrusted us to come and find you...... What the hell are you doing? Why don't you figure out your way and play poker here?"
"That's the rule. Wan Boqian saw the two men throw away the cards in their hands, and he simply threw them away, "Before explaining, can you ask you how you are doing math?"
"Math?" Liu Zhen scoffed, "I skipped a grade directly from elementary school to university, what do you say?" ”
"Oh oh! it seems that our hope is here!" Zhao Menghua was surprised.
"You don't know, 1+1 is actually equal to 3!" Liu Zhen triumphantly.
Everything was silent, and everyone looked at him with dull expressions. Gao Mi and Wan Boqian remembered that it seemed that this great black queen was slipped out of the mountain by Principal Ange, he had lived in the wild for a long time, and before he became a wild man, he could have a normal conversation, he should burn high incense, and he didn't even listen to a class after entering the school, he was a primary school graduate, which can be believed, but it can be to the extent of skipping a grade, this is fake! No, it should be a half-truth, because this girl was specially recruited, and his academic performance is unbelievably poor!
"It's over, there's no way you can get out of here. Gao Mi sighed, "My math score was second in the academy at that time. ”
"Hey, you dare to look down on me!?" Liu Zhen shouted dissatisfiedly.
"There's a lot of things here that you can't think of, and you'll see it very quickly, it's hard to say, it's better to feel better with your own eyes than to listen to me. Gao Mi said, "What I can tell you is that there seems to be an alchemical labyrinth here, just like the labyrinth of the mythical Minos. ”
"Minoan's Labyrinth?"
"Yes, the historical Minoan labyrinth, it was not the same labyrinth, but it was constructed by alchemy. Such a labyrinth must have a gatekeeper. Wan Boqian said, "In mythology, its gatekeeper is the 'Minotaur' with a minotaur." If you enter the alchemy labyrinth, you will never be able to get out by yourself, and the only way is to kill the gatekeeper. ”
"In mythology, his gatekeeper was Mirotaur the Minotaur Man. The person who entered the alchemy labyrinth would never be able to get out on his own, and the only way was to kill the janitor, and it was the Greek prince Tessius who did this. This maze isn't that exaggerated, and if you're good enough at math, or good enough at poker, you can leave. Zhao Menghua cried with a sad face.
"Who is the janitor?" asked Liu Zhen.
"You'll see soon," Gao Mi said, "I studied the ancient books when I was in the academy, and the characteristic of the alchemy maze is that there must be a rule that can be escaped, which is the complete creation of the alchemy maze, so that the gatekeeper cannot violate it." Like the riddle given to Oedipus by the Sphinx, it is a labyrinth constructed with alchemy, but with language as the material. Oedipus played a riddle, and the Sphinx was bound to fall off a cliff and die, even if he was far stronger than Oedipus, and he could not go back. That's the rules. ”
“...... I understand. Liu Zhen pondered, "Nibelungen, this is the realm of the Dragon King, the effect of words and spirits. ”
"Yes, so as you should have guessed, this is not a realm that brute force can break. The Bronze City is a city of alchemy, but since it is a city of alchemy, there will be the most complete material completeness, which is the characteristic of the Bronze City, and the feature here is a labyrinth, you can't move forward without finding the right answer, even if you have the power of God...... Not even the owner of the construct labyrinth. ”
"The rules here are different from reality?" Liu Zhen continued.
"Did you find it? That's right, it's a miracle of dragon technology, a labyrinth that exists beneath Beijing. Gao Mi whispered, "Here, the rules are different from outside, you won't grow old and die without food and water, you will only get drier and drier......"
He slowly pulled open his shirt, the clothes inside were close to his ribs, and Zhao Menghua was as thin as firewood, and he also opened his shirt sadly, with the same shocking body......
"Interesting. Are there labyrinth rules that can't even be violated by a maze......" Liu Zhen smiled with interest, "What are the rules of the gatekeeper?"
Gao Mi pointed to the cards on the ground, "Texas Hold'em." ”
"The janitor of the Miracle Nibelungen Labyrinth, the rule is actually to play Texas Hold'em, what an idea. Liu Zhen pulled up the cuffs of the black dress, "Very good, let me see the dragon king's methods!"
"You still play poker?" Gao Mi looked at the girl's body, looking incredulous.
"What a faux pas. Liu Zhen said, "Before I entered the Kassel Academy...... But His Majesty the Shadow Emperor of Japan!"
The train stops at the platform. The platform is extremely old, with a concrete floor, green tiles in the corners, and a white-plastered wall that is very peeling, and it is painted in red with a few large and shocking characters, "Fushouling Station", and the date next to it, 1977. The platform is lit by an incandescent lamp, covered with cobwebs.
Liu Zhen held his head high and walked in the front, followed by Zhao Menghua, Gao Mi and Wan Boqian.
Zhao Menghua still muttered in disbelief: "How is it possible, it is actually ...... It's amazing!"
There were a total of 45 minutes before entering here, and in 45 minutes, three people fought against Liu Zhen alone, and failed again and again. Texas Hold'em does require strong computing power, but at the same time, since it is gambling, it naturally has a heavy element of luck, Liu Zhen's hand has never been bad, and the purpose is extremely heavy. He doesn't have any false tricks, he can't 'follow', he can 'follow' if he can't, he is as accurate as a machine, and he can see through it like a foresight.
Gao Mi and Wan Boqian then remembered the meaning of the surname Liu Zhen on the shirt, which is the inner three of the eight families of Snake Qi, and the famous family in the underworld, and the history can be extended to the Warring States period of Japan.
In Japan, the most exalted person is the Emperor, the spiritual leader of the White Road, while Yanagi Zhen is the Shadow Emperor, the de facto ruler of the underground.
Liu Zhen raised his head and saw a figure draped in dark brown linen sitting under the incandescent lamp. The dealer slowly raised his face, and Liu Zhen's eyes narrowed, like a slit.
It's not a human, it's some kind of skeleton-like creature.
It has nine heads, each of which resembles the bones of a bird, and two hands protruding from its numb cuffs, bone wings with five sharp claws.
If Chu Zihang, who is knowledgeable, is here, he can recognize this famous creature at a glance.
This is the Weasel Empress, the Dominator of the Wind.
Its nine heads were twisting from side to side, and its nine vertebrae were curved, like the spine bones of nine snakes.
Liu Zhen raised his head and took the lead in walking over, calmly not like the first person who came here, but the three people who followed were a little trembling. Four people sat down around the dealer. The dealer's nine skulls were separated, observing each guest present, and then suddenly the nine heads froze at the same time, and gradually aimed all nine heads at Liu Zhen.
"What did you do?" Gao Mi's eyes widened in shock, "The dealer has never had this kind of reaction, this should be similar to a mechanical procedural figure, although it looks terrifying, but in fact it is not the slightest aggressive, even if we attack it, it will not fight back." ”
"It's peeking into my heart......" Liu Zhen whispered, "No one has ever dared to peep into my heart, anyone who has spied into my heart...... All dead. ”
Gao Mixin said that at this time, you don't want to be in the second place, okay?
Liu Zhen paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: "I forgot to ask, since it is gambling, it is natural that there is a bet...... We're here, so what's the stake?"
The eyes of the three of them flashed with despair and gloomy gray, and finally Gao Mi took a deep breath, "You keep moving forward here on the subway, and your stakes will increase." You endure the torment of loneliness, and your stakes increase. You are sad and hopeless, and your stakes will increase. But you can never die ......"
"Your bet is your loneliness. Wan Boqian said softly.
Liu Zhen was silent, and finally knew why the three of them were in such pain.
It is indeed a bad labyrinth, and the gatekeeper of the labyrinth is a gambler who takes loneliness as a bet, and only needs to endure the deepest loneliness before he can leave this place.
"Well, it's getting interesting. Liu Zhen raised his head and stretched out his hand to make an 'invite' gesture, "If you want to embody my loneliness, then please." ”
As soon as the words fell, the nine heads of the Weasel Empress suddenly paused, and then ......
Behind Liu Zhen, it suddenly rained.
The raindrops are tin bottle caps with the words "Arctic Ocean" on them, which are very old orange soda caps, produced in Beijing, and used to be as popular as cola. This is the most valuable of the 'lonely' chips, a top 1,000 dark gold coins, Gao Mi and Wan Boqian have spent such a long time in reincarnation, only a few dozen dark gold bottle caps, and Zhao Menghua only needs an aluminum-shelled compass.
The three of them were stunned and watched the rain of "Arctic Ocean" bottle caps falling behind Liu Zhen, as if it was endless.
"You...... You...... You ......" The three of them were shocked and couldn't speak.
"It's going to be over soon. Liu Zhen said casually, "If the so-called bargaining chip is 'loneliness'...... Then my chips are endless!Come on dealer, the game begins!"
Tick, tick, tick.
Chu Zihang stretched out his hand, and a little bit of water dripped from the top of the cave and fell into his hand. Chu Zihang was carrying a huge rod bag on his back and another rod bag in his hand. Anyone who sees him will feel strange, Chu Zihang's body is already slender, but the rod-shaped cloth bag on his back is still a head taller than him, and the rod-shaped cloth bag he is carrying in his hand is also amazingly long.
The cloth bag behind the back contains a horse chopping knife, and the demon knife "Village Rain" is carried in his hand.
"We were scattered?" Chu Zihang asked softly.
"It seems that yes, you have misjudged it, this kind of space is not the realm caused by the so-called dragon son and dragon grandson...... This is the Nibelungen, the legendary creation space!" Don replied.
Don was still wearing a simple shirt and jeans, and he looked sloppy, with his beard and hair untied, and he was in a mess. But as long as there was not the slightest embarrassment in his eyes, it was a sparkling gaze, like a light piercing the darkness.
He looked back and forth at the space and sighed deeply.
"Should I say, 'It doesn't take any effort to get there?' Lu Mingfei's friend was caught up in the realm of not the worshippers who came to worship the Dragon King, but the Nibelungen of the real Dragon King, and this luck was too good. Normally, the Nibelungen doesn't go into ......."
"Do you know the Nibelungen well?" Chu Zihang quietly threw away the rod-shaped cloth bag, revealing a pitch-black scabbard, and Chu Zihang clenched the hilt.
"It's a long story...... I'd like to ask, what is the Nibelungen in your eyes?" asked Don.
"The Nibelungen, or the land of the dead," Chu Zihang said softly, "The true kingdom of the dragon clan does not exist in a normal dimension, it is located in a strange dimension called the Nibelungen, a territory of its own built with alchemy. If I'm not mistaken, in fact, the bronze city that the master entered is also a Nibelungen, and after entering, you will find that the inside is far larger than the outside, and everything inside looks new, because time does not change. ”
"That's how you understand it. ”
"The Secret Order has studied dragons for thousands of years, and the Nibelungen has always been regarded as the most important lair of the dragon king, and we can't know anything more. Maybe the master will know more, but he won't answer, I always feel that the master didn't enter the Bronze City to kill the Dragon King, it's more like ......" Chu Zihang glanced at Tang and lowered his voice, "Go to visit relatives." ”
"Oh?"
"On the night of Konstantin's resurrection, everyone witnessed the scene of the master knocking Konstantin down, and finally the blow was also struck, but the result was not to kill Konstantin, but to heal Konstantin's wounds. In his heyday, Constantine showed the dragon king's most majestic scene, flying into the atmosphere and unleashing a scorching field that enveloped almost the entire earth, and at the time, if Constantine wanted to, the flames of destruction would burn everything on the surface of the earth...... But Konstantin didn't. ”
Chu Zihang closed his eyes, stroked the hilt of the knife, and recalled the scene at that time.
"Just as the master let Konstantin go, Konstantin also let go of the earth, and everyone thinks afterwards that it is because Konstantin seems to have regained his full posture, but in fact he was beaten so badly by the master that it was just his return to light, otherwise there is no way to explain why he gave up abruptly to destroy the world...... But as long as I know, Constantine did regain his full power, and at that time he did destroy at any moment, but he didn't. ”
"It sounds like you're smarter than anyone else. Don laughed at him.
