Wen Changye: "Impossible! My godfather would never entrust 'hope' to city people, much less have any connection with your Li family!"
Li Shijian: "She is number 199."
Wen Changye was taken aback.
Li Shijian: "She has never killed anyone, nor is she an ' Awakened.' She is pure and sacred, untainted. She is the ' Child of Hope ' that your Day After Tomorrow Society searching for for a hundred years."
"Over the years, you have questioned the 'prophecy' of the Day After Tomorrow Society, questioned your own faith, and even loathed the sword in your hand." Li Shijian turned to look at the Bai Jing " Bodily Transmission Stone " and said slowly, "But the 'prophecy' is true. She appeared, in a place of utter despair, in a time of upheaval, and where the hearts of the people are turned."
Wen Changye remained silent for a long time before finally sheathing his sword. "Speak, what do you want me to do?"
Li Shijian: "Give me Shang Xiaoyue!"
Chapter 118
Shang Xiaoyue is currently ranked number one among those God-Favored, and she has been taken into custody by the Day After Tomorrow Society.
She contains too many Fragment of the Heart of the Creator within her, which she is powerless to control, leading to an increasingly deranged state. Releasing her out would only result in indiscriminate killing, especially of ordinary people.
Wen Changye: "You want Fragment of the Heart of the Creator?"
Li Shijian: "That's right."
Wen Changye: "She'll go crazy."
Li Shijian, "All those God-Favored will go mad, but she won't."
"Why?"
"Because she has a ' Synthesizer ' inside her."
" Synthesizer?"
" The Primordial Stone. Only by possessing it can one collect all the fragments."
Li Shijian took Shang Xiaoyue away, Wen Changye left behind the Bai Jing " Bodily Transmission Stone." Through this snow-white stone, he sensed a long-lost, familiar aura.
My godfather is still alive.
But the Bodily Transmission Stone has left his body, and his lifespan...
Wen Changye gripped the stone in his palm, trying his best to suppress the ripples in his heart.
My godfather said he would never come back.
He shouldn't bother him.
-
With a bang, Leina pushed the door open forcefully.
The tall, capable female "beast tamer" strode up to her guild leader. Upon seeing the Bodily Transmission Stone, her anger faltered, and a hint of hesitation rose in her eyes. "It's the former guild leader..."
Wen Changye nodded.
Leina frowned again. "President, you gave Shang Xiaoyue to the former president? If I remember correctly, the former president was a level six ' Physician,' he... could heal those God-Favored?"
Wen Changye shook his head. "No, my godfather can't possibly return to the Day After Tomorrow Society. He made a vow... wait..."
Wen Changye was momentarily dazed, as if waking from a dream. "What did you say? Where is Shang Xiaoyue?!"
He suddenly stood up.
Leina: "That's exactly what I was about to ask you! Shang Xiaoyue's condition is so bad, how could you take her away so easily!"
Wen Changye's expression was solemn. He remained silent for a long while, his eyes, usually heavy with alcohol, suddenly becoming deep and profound. "It's Li Shijian. His profession is 'hypnotist'!"
Leina: "He actually awakened as a 'hypnotist'..."
This is an extremely rare profession, and also one of the most dangerous.
With the resources behind the Han-Tang Group, Li Shijian would probably have already been forcibly promoted to level six.
A Level 6 "hypnotist" who also controls Skynet...
No wonder... no wonder...
Many things that I couldn't understand before, I now understand clearly.
Wen Changye said unwillingly, "If it weren't for my godfather's Bodily Transmission Stone, he might not have been able to hypnotize me!"
Leina: "Former president..."
Wen Changye breath, completely regaining his composure. "Go and inform Shen Qi to be careful. Li Shijian is collecting the last fragments of the Heart of the Creator."
Leina replied, "Yes."
When Shen Qi received Leina's message, the last two God-Favored under the suppression of the New Han-Tang, Su Wenjun and Gao Mingshu, had mysteriously disappeared.
Leina told Shen Qi about Wen Changye's guess...
Over the past six months, Song Xiaozhu has built nearly 300 bases in 99 Testing Ground. Shen Qi's New Han-Tang is a powerful supporter behind him.
The Day After Tomorrow Society has been dedicated to liberating the Testing Ground, but now, faced with Song Xiaozhu's overwhelming advantage, they have chosen to assist from the sidelines.
It is impossible for them to submit to either the Han-Tang in the Day After Tomorrow Society.
However, they acknowledged what Song Xiaozhu was doing and were happy to offer their help.
Because of these reasons, Shen Qi and Wen Changye, who used to be at odds, are no longer at each other's throats. In fact, when they encounter a common enemy, they promptly notify each other.
However...
They each have their own independent " Skynet " channels, and the cost of not being able to contact each other via personal terminals is that the latency is too high.
Even though Leina rushed to deliver the message, she was still a step too late.
Shen Qi's expression changed drastically. " Li Shijian has actually awakened into a 'hypnotist'!"
He immediately bowed to Leina and said, "Thank you for letting me know. I'll treat your president to drinks another day. I have something to attend to and cannot see you out. My apologies!"
Leina: "It's alright." She piloted the Dragonhawk Beast and disappeared into the horizon.
Shen Qi took out his communicator, but thinking of the terrifying combination of a Level 6 "Hypnotist" and " Skynet," he dared not use this method to notify Song Xiaozhu. He could only find out Song Xiaozhu's location and then go there in person to inform her.
A Level 6 "Hypnotist," Skynet system covering all Testing Ground, plus the countless resources behind Han-Tang...
No wonder Li Shijian was able to easily instigate the struggle for God-Favored...
No wonder every Fortress has become a ghost town...
No wonder the world has become so absurd!
Shen Qi felt a buzzing in her head, and for a moment she wondered if she had also been "hypnotized".
Pass.
Before leaving, he told Jiang Xiuqi, "Notify everyone to destroy their personal terminals!"
Jiang Xiuqi was taken aback. "We have our own 'channels,' Skynet is secure..."
Shen Qi: "Shut down the 'channels,' destroy them all! I'm going to find Miss right now; she can build a new ' Skynet,' and then we can redistribute the personal terminals."
