Zhou Lin - Chapter 239 Release
2220, one day in May.
The Sixth Reich, the Royal Palace.
This palace, located on the east side of the Scandinavian mountains, looks generally in a retro Baroque style, but its interior is cleverly integrated with modern software and hardware facilities, which can be said to perfectly combine luxury and practicality. together.
Even judging from the technological level of this era, the birth of this building can be regarded as a miracle in the history of architecture, not only because of its magnificence and ingenuity, but also because it only took a total of four days from start to completion. More than a month.
Of course, if you take into account the black technology mastered by the reverse cross, this may not be a particularly urgent project…
Late that night, Zi Lin was lying crookedly on his oversized Iron Throne, playing a mobile game with a slightly tipsy look on his face.
The court hall under the throne was already empty and dark, with only two cold-colored light sources remaining on both sides of the throne that were not very bright.
There was a bottomed bottle of red wine and a half-full wine glass placed on the wide armrest of the throne.
Wine is good wine, but Zi Lin is not someone who gets drunk easily.
Similarly, he is not the kind of person who prefers to lie down on a soft bed and prefer to lie on the throne and play games.
He is waiting for someone.
Waiting for an unexpected guest.
As for why you are waiting here? If I have to say it, it is – it has a sense of ritual.
Just when Zi Lin poured out the last drop of wine in the bottle, a ray of moonlight peeked out from behind the dark clouds and spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows several meters high.
At the same moment, a figure also appeared in the shadow of the court.
His name is Jack Anderson, known as the God of Death.
Long time no see, Jack. Zi Lin took a sip of wine calmly and greeted Jack with the corner of his eye.
Yeah, it must have been half a year. Jack replied.
What have you been busy with lately? Zi Lin asked again.
Busy around the world mitigating the collateral damage of your atrocities. Jack said.
That’s really hard on you. Zi Lin continued leisurely, But my purge operation has come to an end recently, so you should have some time to spare, right?
So I came to find you. Jack said solemnly.
Yes. Zi Lin nodded, and then said, Now that you have appeared in front of me, can I think that my two royal guards… are all dead?
Should they die? Jack asked instead of answering his question.
Of course they deserve to die. Zi Lin replied, It’s best if you kill them, because that’s called death in the line of duty, and at best it’s incompetence.
He obviously didn’t say half of what he said – if Kaijiu and K were not killed by Jack but let Jack in, that would be of another nature, and it would also be a capital crime.
Then just treat them as dead. Jack responded after a few seconds.
Heh… Zi Lin smiled.
This smile only lasted for a moment, and then turned cold.
The next second, Zi Lin suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand in the direction of Jack and broke it to the ground in the court hall.
The shards of glass slid along the smooth marble floor, and the red wine in the glass also flowed on the floor, exuding the slightest aroma of wine.
What makes you think that you can instruct a king on what to do and what to think? As Zi Lin spoke, he stood up and walked down the steps towards Jack step by step.
He nonchalantly stepped over the broken glass and red wine until he was half a meter away from Jack, standing across from him.
Do you think that on your own… Zi Lin stood still and sneered, …can kill me?
Chiying——
Before Zi Lin finished speaking, a cold look flashed out under the moonlight.
At this moment, the blade of the hidden sword had poked out of Jack’s sleeve and was pressed against Zi Lin’s throat. If it advanced even a little further, it would turn red.
…………
Six months ago, Xingjun, somewhere.
In the morning, Yi Rushi finished breakfast as usual and walked for a few minutes to a hospital.
She was very familiar with the doctors and nurses in this hospital. When she passed by the corridor, people would greet her from time to time.
At eight o’clock, she arrived at a ward on the top floor of the hospital on time.
Although this ward is not marked with the words Special Needs or VIP, the internal facilities and supporting medical staff are the best in the entire county, and it is located in a place where no one will come. If you want to get past the blind spot, you must pass by the security room.
There is only one patient in this ward, named Xian Xiaoxiao.
In the eyes of those who were unaware, this girl should be a relative of a mysterious rich man. Unfortunately, she became a vegetative state at a young age and was kept in this hospital.
But in fact, she did not suffer from any disease. On the contrary, she was very healthy.
The reason why she remains asleep is that a special sedative drug is supplied to her through infusion every day. Of course, there are two kinds of nutrient solution to maintain human body functions and the original Hades Mist to suppress supernatural powers. Things are also essential.
Only in this way can the growth of its abilities be delayed and the order of the real world maintained.
After all…she is one of only two Reality Modifiers on the planet.
Yi Rushi has been taking care of Xian Xiaoxiao for quite some time. Since she reunited with her long-lost sister in February this year, she moved here from Milan and got a private nursing job.
The pay of this job is very good, and the work content is very easy. She only needs to come over every day to accompany Xian Xiaoxiao, read to him, turn over, move his limbs and joints, and do some simple cleaning work. Can.
Therefore, most of the time during the day, Yi Rushi only needs to sit in the ward, read the tablet, and chat with the doctors and nurses who occasionally visit. In the evening, after get off work, her residence is nearby, and she is willing to go to the disco in the evening. Well, whether it’s sports, it’s all free.
The most important thing is that after moving here, her sister Yi Rumeng often came to visit her; whenever the two of them got together, her place had a somewhat home atmosphere.
Although Yi Rushi didn’t know what her sister did, she didn’t know Xian Xiaoxiao’s origins, and she didn’t know who hired her with such a generous remuneration to do such a job that everyone seemed to be able to do. Work…but she could feel that as long as she maintained the status quo, she could put her sister at ease.
Unlike her strong and brave sister who disappeared since childhood, Yi Rushi has always been a simple and ordinary girl. She does not have a good mind or extraordinary potential. All she has is rare kindness, sincerity and optimism; her parents After her death, she lived an ordinary and difficult life.
Although she always believed deep down in her heart that her sister was not dead and must be living happily somewhere in the world, when Shadow Ori actually appeared in front of her and recognized her, she still acted like an ordinary girl. I almost fainted from crying.
Not long after that, she came here and lived a life like this, and was lucky to avoid all the wars that had occurred in the past eight months and the infamous Iron Curtain incident.
But today, her step-by-step and comfortable life seemed to have come to an end.
At ten o’clock in the morning, as soon as Yi Rushi turned over Xian Xiaoxiao, someone suddenly knocked on the door of this ward.
She said: Please come in.
It was her sister who opened the door.
Behind Yingwei, there were two other people, Li Xiaofan and Kaijiu.
Sister. After Yingwei entered the house, with a smile still on his face, he greeted his sister and hugged her.
But after the hug, Yi Rushi looked at Yingwei’s fake smiling face with worried eyes and said, What’s wrong? She said, turning to glare at Li Xiaofan and Kaijiu, as if questioning with her eyes, Did you two bully my sister?
Follow me. Yingwei didn’t waste any time. He took his sister’s hand and left the ward, headed straight to the parking lot, leaving Li Xiaofan and Kaijiu who looked helpless in the ward.
Eh? Yi Rushi was a little at a loss for a moment, Sister, where are you taking me?
You can go anywhere, just get out of here. Shadow Weaver replied.
Huh? Yi Rushi’s strength is far inferior to that of her sister. Let alone dragging her away, even if Yingwei picks her up, she basically has no room to resist, so it is impossible for her to stop. I could only stumble and follow my sister, saying as I walked, What’s going on? All of a sudden…
We are free. Shadow Weaver said, That’s it.
What? Yi Rushi didn’t understand.
Of course she couldn’t understand, because she didn’t know that she and Xian Xiaoxiao were in essentially the same situation – both were in a state of being under house arrest; at the same time, she was also another insurance for Zi Lin, a guaranteed influence. Weave hostages who will not betray.
I’ll tell you when we get to the car. Yingwei replied, Anyway, it’s best for us to leave this county within today.
Ah? Yi Rushi was dumbfounded, But… at least let me go home and clean up…
Sister… Yingwei interrupted her sister, Isn’t it enough to have me here?
Yi Rushi was stunned for a moment, then looked at her sister and smiled: Okay, I’ll just go with you.
