finally.

Li Zheng only found one stone.

Because not all of the squadron he led came to Jinling.

...Maybe it's out of balance, or maybe it's because Li Zheng and the others have become enablers.

In short, in order to take care of the emotions of other security forces.

Only one-third of the people in Li Zheng's squadron came, and most of these people had seen Chen Lusi rub the spirit ball, so like Zhou Jian, they had never thought about bringing stones.

And they are like this, let alone those ordinary members of the security force.

According to him, the stone that Li Zheng carried with him was given to him by Xia Yue before he became an empowerer, saying that it was used as an amulet for him.

He thought it was commemorative and kept it with him.

This is also the only stone currently.

"Feel sorry."

After asking around.

Li Zheng returned to Chen Lusi with an ugly expression on his face: "I didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation. Every time we go on a solo mission, we always bring some stones as backup, but this time because you followed, everyone slacked off. Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"..."

Chen Lu thought for a while, shook his head, and then handed back the stone in his hand: "Since the incident has happened, there is no need to talk about this... In addition, you can take this stone back. Since it has commemorative significance, let's go first Take it, don’t use it if you can, if I can’t help it I will talk to you.”

"No, in this situation, souvenirs have no meaning!"

Hearing this, Li Zheng refused directly, and then said with a smile: "Besides, Xia Yue hasn't come back yet, and the amulet is probably invalid. It's useless for me to come. You can just take it. I really want it, and I will let Xia Yue come back when the time comes." Just give me a piece of Yue."

Seeing Li Zheng's expression, Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and could only put away the stone.

"But... the level of this stone is not high, otherwise Xia Yue would not throw it to me casually. Let me think about it, he should have said the 'gathering' level at that time... Although I have not yet condensed the stone, I also know this It's an entry-level stone at best. Even if you can absorb the spirit inside, it's probably only enough to use the Heavenly Punishment Pistol two or three more times, so you must get out of trouble as soon as possible."

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Lusi put away the stone, then lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Um."

Chen Lusi nodded in response, but his attention was not on Li Zheng, but on that Ma Bo.

At this moment, he looked into the distance, seemingly lost in thought again, with a very strange expression on his face.

"You just said we should look around and investigate the situation, so which direction should we go now?"

When Li Zheng heard the response, he raised his head and suddenly asked.

"Palace complex."

Chen Lusi looked away from the Ma Bo, looked at Zhou Jian again, and then gave her own suggestions.

"Palace complex..."

When Li Zheng heard this answer, he looked at the most conspicuous buildings in the distance, nodded in agreement, and then shouted: "Zhou Jian!"

"arrive!"

Zhou Jian responded immediately.

"Brothers, please be on guard and avoid contact with the aboriginal people as much as possible. Don't do anything unless absolutely necessary. Report any strange sights immediately. We are going to go to the palace complex to have a look."

"clear!"

Zhou Jian nodded vigorously, then turned around and began to explain the precautions to other guards.

And with the quality of the garrison there, it certainly wouldn't be like entering a foreign land and dispersing like a dungeon.

Soon... under the organization of Li Zheng and Zhou Jian, the guard army regrouped and began to walk towards the nearest palace complex in an orderly manner.

Of course, in order to be inconspicuous.

It's not like marching in formation.

But it can be seen that the position of each guard force is very particular, and it is basically like a corner. There are a few members at the front and at the back who are responsible for exploring the way and ensuring rear intelligence.

Overall, it's quite reassuring.

certainly.

Overall, it is reassuring, but it does not mean that everyone is reassuring.

Chen Lusi noticed that Bo Ma... was a little absent-minded and kept looking in one direction.

If Chen Lusi remembered correctly, he was looking in that direction just now in trance.

...something's definitely not right.

"Li Zheng."

Chen Lu thought of this and immediately called out Li Zheng.

Li Zheng turned around.

Chen Lusi looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Li Zheng realized something, told Zhou Jian, then slowed down, came to Chen Lusi, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That Mabo is not normal."

Chen Lusi tilted his head slightly and said concisely: "He has been looking north."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Bo in front of him, and found that this was indeed the case, and his expression immediately changed.

"Also, Zhou Jian is also a little weird."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then continued: "I don't know if you noticed, but he inexplicably called his home 'Fuzhong'. When you asked him for a stone, he said the stone was in his house... and we generally don't call ourselves that. It can’t be a slip of the tongue, I don’t think a modern person would make such a slip of the tongue.”

"..."

This time.

Li Zheng's expression suddenly changed, he turned his head suddenly, and almost lost his voice: "How is it possible!? Could it be that they were switched!?"

"...Not quite."

Chen Lusi looked at Li Zheng who had controlled his voice at the last moment, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "At least they don't look alike, because most of the time the two of them are quite normal, and I was lucky enough to meet my teammates. Although my experience cannot be applied to the situation of being dropped...but my intuition is that this is not a dropped package, but that they were affected by something."

"Influence……?"

Li Zheng looked around at his colleagues and felt at a loss for the first time.

Just now, Chen Lusi couldn't sense the external spirit, so he was just shocked, not at all helpless.

this moment.

He finally realized the power of the 'foreign realm'.

"Then what should I do?"

After a long time.

Li Zhengcai managed to calm down and asked, "Will you go find them and ask them clearly?"

"Whether it's been dropped or affected by something, it's definitely useless to ask. Only by finding the source of the pollution and finding the alien body can we solve it.

However, you can try to make some insinuations and pay attention to whether anyone else behaves abnormally..."

Speaking of which.

Chen Lusi paused, then said the second half: "Everyone came in together. If Zhou Jian and that Ma Bo are both affected... then the situation may be far worse than imagined."

"good."

Li Zheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he responded and turned around to find Zhou Jian.

"Also, if you notice that I'm not acting normal, try reminding me directly if I'm not back to normal..."

Chen Lusi stopped him, then pointed at himself: "Then don't believe my words anymore. We still don't know what the alien body wants to do, so don't take risks."

Li Zheng paused, then nodded with difficulty and continued walking towards Zhou Jian.

Although, the palace complex seems extremely far away.

But when they actually started walking, it didn't take long. It felt like only a short while passed before everyone reached the outskirts of the first palace complex.

And along the way... the group of people got along well with the 'locals'. They turned a blind eye to Chen Lusi and others, as if they couldn't see them.

Even though Chen Lusi's clothes clearly don't fit in with the crowd.

Even if there are so many of them together.

The only interaction between Chen Lusi and them was the moment he pulled out his gun.

other times.

It's like they're blind.

As for Ma Bo and Zhou Jian.

As the distance grew farther, the former finally stopped staring in one direction, and instead turned his gaze to the palaces in front of him.

Zhou Jian was talking to Li Zheng along the way, but he didn't know what they were talking about. It wasn't until they approached the palace group that the two stopped talking and looked up at the palace group in front of them.

And looked closer.

From a distance, the majestic palace looked... very scary.

Because this building seems to be alive.

The palace walls are entangled, the pavilions are overlapping, the eaves are stuck together, and various building components are constantly squirming and changing shapes, barely maintaining this intricate architectural wonder from a distance.

It's like...an indescribable thing covered in the skin of a building.

"..."

Many guardsmen took a breath after seeing the specific appearance of the palace.

And Chen Lusi felt disgusted as she looked at the palaces that were entangled and squirming and changing their forms.

Everyone stood outside the palace, looking at the palace. Although they had arrived, they didn't know what to do for a while.

Li Zheng at the front subconsciously looked at Chen Lusi again.

Chen Lu thought for a moment, then took a few steps forward, then passed Li Zheng and approached the palace wall. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly extended his hand.

"Chen Lusi."

Li Zheng was a little anxious when he saw this scene and immediately called him.

Chen Lusi did not respond.

You can't get out just by looking at it.

It was impossible for him to pin all his hopes on someone to rescue him.

So no matter what, we must first figure out what this is...

With this thought.

Chen Lusi stretched out his hand directly and pressed it on the squirming palace wall in front of him.

The palace wall, which was still squirming and changing its shape, suddenly stopped.

then.

Chen Lusi's actions seemed to break the rules of this weird building.

The palace wall, which could still maintain its shape, instantly collapsed inward like a liquid, rotated and restructured.

When everyone saw this sudden change, they were stunned and had not yet reacted.

The palace wall became a canvas, and the scene of an ancient court meeting was suddenly reconstructed.

And controversy ensued.

"Your Majesty! Think again! That Hou Jing is capricious, and the traitorous general has many evil intentions!"

"Don't use your lies to confuse the public. Your Majesty has great virtues. The enemy generals will soon be called upon to surrender. This is destiny. How can you refuse!?"

"Haha, that's right. If you have a good view, you can clear the north of the wall; if the opportunity is rare, why should you use glue pillars! Come here and issue an edict!"

"..."

Chen Lusi was startled for a moment, then remained silent for a moment, then looked back at the guard member who first pointed out that this palace was the 'Jiankang Palace'.

"Hou Jing surrendered."

The guard just replied with four words.

On the palace wall, the picture was rotated and reconstructed again.

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing intends to rebel! We can no longer tolerate it!"

"Jing Guwei pledged his life, how could he turn against him?"

"Your Majesty! He really rebelled!"

"Stop talking! Jing must have no ambition to cross the river!"

"Your Majesty! The rebels captured Xiao Ning, the governor of Huainan! The main force has entered Cihu!"

"What!?"

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing built mountains of earth in the east and west of the city, drove out the soldiers and civilians, and beat them indiscriminately, regardless of high or low status. He killed the tired and weak ones to fill the mountains. His cries shook the earth!"

"..."

"Your Majesty! Hou Jing has occupied the entire city."

"..."

"Ho! Ho!"

"Your Majesty! I already said it! No!"

The last screen appears.

An octogenarian old man let out a reluctant roar and died.

Then, the historian took up his pen and wrote a sentence - "In the third year of Taiqing, in May, Bingchen, I went to bed in the Jingju Palace. My mouth was bitter and I couldn't find any honey. Then I said: "Hey! "Lots, then died."

The picture is frozen at this moment.

this moment.

Time seems to intersect.

Even if Chen Lusi is not interested in history, he probably understands it.

This should be the story of Emperor Wu of Liang.

I have to say, it’s quite shocking.

...It's like the old days are reappearing.

And he is still like this.

Not to mention the security forces behind him.

The member of the garrison who was particularly interested in history was immediately dumbfounded.

But he was not the one who had the biggest reaction.

But... Mabo.

"ah!!!"

Just when everyone was immersed in shock.

The member named Ma Bo suddenly screamed.

And his scream instantly pulled everyone back, and then they all turned their attention to him.

But after Ma Bo finished screaming, he stared blankly at the final scene, without any reaction even in the face of so many eyes.

"Mabo!"

Li Zheng realized something and immediately shouted.

But he had just finished speaking.

What greeted him was not Mabo's answer, but a mournful cry.

A huge cry, like a wounded beast.

Screams came from all directions.

Deafening.

"Woo——"

Everyone, including Chen Lusi, couldn't help but cover their ears.

Because it's too harsh.

But Mabo didn't, and still stared blankly ahead.

Neither did the 'aboriginals', who were still doing their own thing without being affected at all.

About ten seconds later.

The screams disappeared.

at the same time.

Those images disappeared too.

And among the shocked guards.

Li Zheng reacted the fastest. He looked at Ma Bo again and shouted: "Ma Bo!!! Who are you!!! Answer me now!!!"

"..."

Ma Bo slowly turned his head and looked at Li Zheng, his dull eyes regained their vitality.

But he didn't wait for Li Zheng to breathe a sigh of relief.

He suddenly looked away, then looked around with a stern look, and then whispered: "Why did I come to the corner of His Majesty's wall? I'm going to be beheaded! It's a crime, it's a crime..."

While muttering to himself, he cautiously stepped back, then after pulling some distance away, he suddenly turned around, abandoned everyone, and ran away.

While running, he shouted: "My mother-in-law is still waiting for me to come back! I can't be beheaded!"

Li Zheng: "!?"

Everyone: "..."

Chen Lusi looked at Ma Bo who was running away, took a step forward, activated the 'First Line', appeared behind him in an instant, and then reached out to catch him.

But his hand... went directly through Mabo's arm.

It didn't touch his body at all.

this moment.

The Mabo in front of him seemed to be in another time and space.

"..."

Chen Lusi made a move and stopped in place.

at the same time.

Ma Bo in front also paused, then looked back behind him and shuddered suddenly: "It's strange... Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Isn't it because I have offended the emperor? It's a sin."

Say it.

He quickened his pace again and started running quickly.

And soon, he disappeared from sight...

His colleagues, his friends, and his superiors witnessed him running away.

Everyone was stunned.

After a long time.

Li Zheng reacted suddenly and yelled in a frantic manner: "Fuck!!! What the hell is going on!!! This guy... actually ran away!?"

"..."

Chen Lusi turned around slowly and looked at Li Zheng silently.

at the same time.

The horse-faced man also heard the cry.

But the piercing scream in other people's ears was more pleasant to his ears than any music.

He walked down the street, closed his eyes, showed an expression of enjoyment, and said softly: "It's begun."
