Cataclysm King - #354 - Chapter 354 Qin Rushi Arrives

With the death of the painter Pablo, the interception and killing operation in the Royal Court of Oran basically came to an end.

Although Domingo, the “Drama God”, is not afraid of Ji Xun and Dong Qi, he is not sure that he can defeat them under the eyes of those in the Southern Continent.

Originally, Ji Xun wanted to learn the true methods of the Four Knights of the King.

Unfortunately, the sudden Silver Moon illusion disrupted the original plan.

The next moment he was exempted from the spell, he immediately sensed the fatal crisis and decisively used the communicator to send a message: “Directly ahead, full firepower coverage!”

A legend came to this assassination operation, and a team of elite killers came. They were already highly qualified and could kill the two Ji Xun in the intelligence.

Normally there would be no backup.

But now it happened.

Or when the other party’s plan is about to fail.

This is obviously to save the situation.

And if you dare to come, you must have the ability to save the situation.

Ji Xun felt that if it was true as he guessed, the visitor might be the Black Dragon Princess Betty who was contaminated by Silver Moon.

This matter is even more problematic.

He always felt that the Royal Court of Oran was setting up a very big plot, and this Betty was a very important part, and there was no need to expose it here.

Therefore, if that woman showed her face at the risk of exposure, she must be very sure that Ji Xun and his wife would die here.

Ji Xun’s intuition told him that it was better to leave first.

“good!”

Dong Qi in the distance did not hesitate at all. The magazine on the armor bounced up, and more than a dozen miniature magic missiles flew out.

The blue fireworks exploded by the missile caused a violent shock wave in the underground space, and the destructive energy spread out in the corridor.

Domingo saw that the two men most likely wanted to escape, but had to strengthen the domain barrier to suppress the shock wave.

“withdraw!”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Xun appeared beside Dong Qi and said urgently: “No matter what abnormal behavior I have in a while, you just take me away!”

This battle command was so out of touch that Dong Qiyi didn’t understand what was happening: “???”

It was during this moment when she was stunned that a small hand holding a paintbrush stretched out from Ji Xun’s pocket and drew in the void, and a crack in space suddenly appeared.

“Huh?”

Dong Qi had seen Ivan’s spatial ability, so he couldn’t hide his surprise at this scene.

That little girl can actually lead people through space?

Oh, I almost forgot, this is how they came out of that oil painting just now.

Without thinking about it, she knew what Ji Xun’s evacuation plan was, and she decided to crash into the space crack.

But at this time, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that Ji Xun beside him seemed to be disturbed by some mysterious force, his eyes and pupils suddenly blurred, and his whole person suddenly stood on the spot.

“Controlled by mental magic?”

Only then did Dong Qi understand why he had to explain what he just said, and he suddenly woke up.

It turns out that a very powerful mysterious enemy has come somewhere that I can’t see?

For Ji Xun to be able to get hit, one can imagine that the enemy is extremely powerful.

Dong Qi was protected by the Hunter God Mecha and was not affected.

After she discovered Ji Xun’s abnormality, she didn’t waste any time. She grabbed him in her hands and then crashed into the space crack without looking back.

The cracks merged and the two disappeared on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of tiny footsteps could be heard at the end of the corridor not far away.

A mysterious man in a cloak slowly walked out.

Watching the target escape, the pretty face under the hat brim was gloomy, and she said softly: “You walked so decisively. It’s strange, how did you find me?”

As long as there is a trace of hesitation, these two people will not be able to leave today.

Pity.

Domingo didn’t dare to neglect. When he saw the visitor, he immediately protected his chest and performed a knight’s salute. He said respectfully: “I have met Her Majesty the Queen.”

The interception plan failed, and he asked this person to personally come to the rescue. He was already derelict in his duty.

“Um.”

The cloaked man responded lightly, and the white moonlight emitted by the [Moon] in his hand also dimmed.

She glanced at Domingo and said calmly: “There is no need to chase. Someone above has already noticed the movement here. You can find a way to leave first. Also, there is no room for mistakes in the matter of ‘The Coming of the Moon God’.”

Domingo looked stern: “Yes!”

“Tap, step, step, step”

The sound of boots splashing in sewage echoed in the dark pipes and was clear to the ears.

Dong Qi carried the limp Ji Xun and ran wildly through the complex underground pipe network.

After a while, Ji Xun’s pupils gradually focused.

Only then did he wake up from the illusion state.

He looked at Dong Qi’s shoulder and immediately understood something, and secretly said in his heart, “It’s so dangerous.”

He was injected with a sobering potion and was attacked, which meant that the person’s methods were extremely powerful as expected.

Thanks to the decisive evacuation just now, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss.

His pupils focused, as if his soul had returned to his body, and Ji Xun said, “I’m fine.”

Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At the same time, she was also full of doubts and asked: “What happened just now?”

“I’m under an illusion.”

Ji Xun also lost consciousness for a moment, but looking at this posture, it was not difficult to guess what happened, and said: “It should be the masters of the Silver Moon Sect.”

“A member of the Silver Moon Sect?”

Dong Qi was obviously surprised when he heard this, and then thought of the brainwashed mechanics in the base.

“Um.”

Ji Xun expressed his speculation: “The Oran royal family is not completely unprepared for this war. They have placed some very important secrets among the top officials of the Southern Continent. I suspect that those guys may be plotting something.”

He had been an undercover agent in the Silver Moon Sect, and he knew very well about the sexual behavior of these Old God believers.

The purpose is clear from beginning to end, which is to bring the gods down and spread faith.

In the previous battle at the Shenxu Treasure House, Jia Yu’s plan not only severely damaged the Scarlet Sect, but also wiped out the little strength that the Silver Moon Sect had finally accumulated.

But there is absolutely no way those Silver Moon believers would just give up.

Furthermore, the new king of Oran also needs faith to consolidate his royal power.

“oh.”

Dong Qi frowned as he listened.

She never liked complicated plots.

I didn’t seem to understand, but didn’t ask in detail.

If you really want to talk about the familiarity with the sewer network of Sinless City, few people can compare with Ji Xun.

This was also one of the planned evacuation routes.

As they ran and heard that no one was chasing them, the pace of the two slowed down.

It seemed that the enemy had no intention of pursuing him.

It was expected.

After all, without the barrier, if we had to fight anywhere, no one would be able to please anyone.

Originally, they could escape from the city directly through the sewers, but suddenly, Ji Xun stopped.

Dong Qi thought he had discovered something abnormal, and immediately asked alertly: “What’s wrong?”

Ji Xun’s brows showed a hint of thought, and after pondering for a moment, he said: “I don’t think we need to leave the city. Just stay in the city.”

The original plan was to leave as soon as he was exposed, but now he changed his plan.

“ah?”

Dong Qi sounded a little confused: “Don’t go out? But sooner or later we will be discovered again.”

Since the killer came to the door before, it means that the people of the Oran royal family do have a way to locate those drawings.

“No. That was before.”

Ji Xun shook his head and explained: “It’s safer to stay in the city now.”

Although the assassination came suddenly, he felt that it was an “accident” from beginning to end. Only the mysterious Silver Moon master came to the rescue.

So Ji Xun suddenly thought of a key question just now: Since Princess Betty is a very important secret agent of the Oran royal family, why did she show up for an assassination?

There are many military masters in the southern continent of Innocence City, and any trace left behind may be a fatal hazard.

So it is definitely not to recover some backup blueprints or to intercept and kill some “defectors”.

If she does this, it means that there will be rewards equal to the risks.

After Ji Xun’s deduction, he felt that there was only one possibility.

That is, those drawings are more important than expected.

Dong Qi understood immediately and said, “Are you saying that these drawings contain some information that the Oran royal family considers top secret?”

“Um.”

Ji Xun had previously suspected that those highly encrypted drawings might be research materials for “Mechanical Angel”.

Now it seems that it’s not just that.

There may also be some secrets involved that the Oran royal family does not want outsiders to know.

For example, the “ancient weapon of dark energy” that can instantly kill a seventh-level dragonborn!

It was an accident that the information was stolen.

But if it fell into the hands of Ji Xun and the others, at least it wouldn’t be a big problem. At most, the technology would be stolen.

But if it really falls into the hands of the people from the Southern Continent and the enemy is alerted in advance, it is definitely not what the Oran royal family wants to see.

Dong Qi had stayed at that base for a long time, and he had also seen some items that were scrapped during secret weapon testing.

She immediately understood something and looked slightly excited.

To a machinist, there are few temptations more attractive than drawings of an unknown and powerful machine.

But thinking of something, she turned and looked at Ji Xun again: “What should we do with those drawings?”

The original plan was that once they were exposed, they would immediately discard the drawings so that they could be completely safe.

But now that we know that the drawings are special, how can we give them up so easily?

Ji Xun had the same idea.

He had already thought of the plan and said: “We will act according to the original plan. We will go to the city to find two places to stay later.”

Just like before, if something happens, we will take care of each other.

Dong Qi was worried about his safety and asked: “But the enemy won’t come to your door again?”

The enemy failed to assassinate him this time, so he will definitely be better prepared next time.

“Won’t.”

Ji Xun shook his head and said meaningfully: “They don’t dare to act rashly. If I were that Princess Betty, I would never cause trouble for myself now.”

Dong Qi didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”

Ji Xun explained: “The interception was not successful this time. For them, the risk of doing it again is countless times greater.”

It turned out that Betty had killed him just now, and everything was fine.

But unfortunately, he was not killed.

As long as they are still in the city, if a fight breaks out, both sides may be exposed.

Certain plans are obviously more important than a few drawings.

And after being assassinated, the other party also speculated that Ji Xun would leave some other back-up men to assassinate you again. Do you think I will report you?

The other party didn’t dare to take that risk.

Correspondingly, even if Ji Xun knew that Princess Betty had a problem, he would not take the initiative to report it.

Because reporting this would have no meaning to Donghuang or himself.

Unless the other party wants to kill him.

For both parties, the best way to get along now is: Don’t snitch and cause trouble, and I won’t come to you.

No communication though.

But it seemed like a deal was made tacitly from afar.

When Dong Qi heard his explanation, his expression was a little strange: “Isn’t this all your guess? What if those people in Oran don’t think so?”

Ji Xun shook his head and said firmly: “There is no such thing as a chance.”

“.”

Dong Qi frowned slightly as he listened.

She glanced at Ji Xun and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to say it.

This is the old friend she is familiar with.

Has an almost crazy arrogance.

Once he decides on something, he can risk everything.

Including lives.

If it were Dong Qi herself, she would never dare to stay in the city just because of some assumptions.

But this guy dares.

Ji Xun knew that Miss Qiqi was worried about him, so he smiled and explained: “Besides, I left the drawings in the space of the relic [Monet’s Sunrise]. They may not be able to determine our location now.” .”

He has not yet confirmed what method the other party used to sense the location of the drawing, but no matter what method it is, if you want to detect it through this catastrophic object, the difficulty will rise sharply.

Hearing this, Dong Qi glanced at the oil painting, and his expression improved a lot.

While the two were chatting, Ji Xun suddenly felt a stirring in his pocket, and a little head popped out.

Ivan looked at Ji Xun with her big watery eyes, a little embarrassed: “Mr. Ji Xun, I’m hungry.”

Ji Xun smiled: “Yeah.”

There is another reason not mentioned.

After knowing that this little loli could travel through space so easily, he felt that the Innocence City could be saved.

In the next few days, Ji Xun and Dong Qi continued to live in Sinless City.

As expected, life suddenly became stable.

I don’t know whether it was because the members of the Oran royal family really couldn’t determine the location of those drawings, or whether it was some kind of tacit understanding that Ji Xun guessed.

Anyway, the killer didn’t come to the door again.

In fact, there were no accidents on the day of the assassination, so Ji Xun knew he was safe.

But to be on the safe side, he and Dong Qi lived separately for a few days.

During this period, Ji Xun stepped up to copy the batch of encrypted information every day.

It took five days to complete the copy.

After destroying the original batch of data, the last hidden dangers were completely eliminated.

It has to be said that the last assassination was very rewarding for Ji Xun.

Not only did he get a catastrophic object-level oil painting, but more importantly, it allowed him to touch the threshold of the “law of space”.

Learning this high-level law requires extremely high talent and understanding, as well as great opportunities.

Ji Xun always felt uncomfortable before.

This assassination allowed him to touch the door.

Understanding the laws of space is sometimes like learning to swim. You still can’t figure out the way, and you can’t master your balance no matter how you swim.

But at a certain moment, it happened all of a sudden, and the direction of the future suddenly became clear.

After getting started with the rules, Ji Xun was able to truly understand the mystery of this secret method when he looked at the painter’s exclusive magic method “Utopia Universe”.

And after learning this secret method, the benefit is that he can directly use the exclusive relic [Monet’s Sunrise].

Ji Xun hasn’t figured out the attack properties of oil paintings, such as “space enchantment” yet.

However, the storage function has been used.

The interior of the oil painting has a huge space of about one city block.

You can also expand based on your understanding of the laws of space.

It’s like a “balloon” that can be blown up by itself. In theory, it can be several times larger.

The most important thing is not the size of the storage space.

It’s that the rules of space in this oil painting are perfect, and it’s not a storage space that’s as fragile as glass.

This oil painting can hold everything.

High-law items such as clay pots and useless swords that were always carried around can also be stuffed in.

For Ji Xun, it was much more convenient to carry items.

It’s also a lot safer.

Time flew by.

These days, Ji Xun has been immersed in pondering several magical mysteries and studying the “laws of space” every day.

Dong Qi was obsessed with cracking the encrypted information all day long.

The encryption level of that batch of research data is indeed very high and extremely difficult to crack.

However, mechanical data is different from ordinary encrypted documents. Many things in scientific research data can be traced and can be deduced.

Dong Qi’s attainments in the mechanical field are not low, and she knows some of the “mechanical deity” secret techniques, and has the relevant understanding blessed by the professional sequence demon. Although the cracking is slow, she has made progress little by little.

Although they only cracked some simple descriptions in a few days, that little bit of content allowed the two of them to confirm a very important fact.

As they guessed,

This is the research data of “Mechanical Angel”.

Among them are not only some drawings of mechas that are more advanced than Titan mechas.

More importantly, there is an “ancient weapon” inside that is completely beyond the current level of technology!

According to calculations, if that kind of weapon were to be manufactured, its power would be beyond imagination.

After discovering this, Dong Qi worked harder to decipher.

The two seemed to have returned to the time they spent together in the Red Mansion, with tacit understanding, busyness and intimacy.

In the evening, they would take a bath together and enjoy a rare happy time.

oh!

Then there is the matter of feeding little Ivan who only knows how to eat and sleep, and eat when he sleeps.

The two of them were a little unaccustomed to the addition of such a light bulb.

But later I discovered that the little loli wouldn’t wake up at all when she fell asleep, so life went back to normal.

Before I knew it, it was half a month.

These days, besides staying in his room to practice, Ji Xun also goes out every day to inquire about news.

He used his disguised identity as an intelligence businessman to follow the development of the war situation in real time.

There are more and more southern continental troops in Innocence City.

Dozens of cities have fallen one after another in these days, and a large amount of treasures and war slaves are transported to the Innocence City every day.

It seemed that the Southern Continent was unstoppable, but slowly, the war became like a quagmire and started to pull.

The Eastern Wasteland is vast and crowded, and once the battle line is extended, the number of soldiers in the Southern Continent becomes somewhat stretched.

If you want to attack cities one by one, it may not be possible to end this war for decades.

Since Ji Xun knew what the Silver Moon Sect was planning, he became more cautious about the movements of the southern continent’s army.

From that intelligence, he deduced that a war was about to take place.

The center of the battle between the two sides will most likely be the largest city in the southern part of Eastern Wasteland – Tailong Mobile Mechanical City.

The three major kingdoms of the Southern Continent have assembled more than twenty legions and nearly 400,000 troops, preparing to attack Tailong Machinery City.

The Oran royal family also stationed millions of troops, seemingly trying to defend the city.

In the eyes of others, this is a normal offensive and defensive battle after the war has reached a certain stage.

However, Ji Xun vaguely noticed that there might be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

For example, the battle for national destiny.

Ji Xun originally wanted to join the mercenary group and go to the battlefield to see the situation.

But he didn’t expect that Qin Rushi would come to Sinless City before setting off.
