Chapter 528: Chapter 527: Overconfident and Composed
I must say, the speed of the Elder Council is quite fast.
In just one day, they had eradicated all of Zhenfei’s influence in the Sixth District.
Anger flickered across Gu Beihan’s face.
After a moment of silence, he spoke indifferently, “Lord Xun has many sources of information, and now Zhenfei has very limited power left to mobilize.”
He paused, then continued, “However, Lord Xun should know that today’s Zhenfei will be tomorrow’s Demon Country; please be more careful.”
“There’s no need for Mr. Gu to worry about that, I have other plans.”
Smiling nonchalantly, Lu Zixun changed the topic, “Mr. Gu, why don’t you just tell me directly why you wanted to see me?”
At that moment, the waiter came in with a caramel milk tea.
The moment he placed the milk tea on the table, a gleam of cold light appeared in his hand, aimed straight at Gu Beihan’s heart.
“Lord Xun seems a bit anxious, isn’t this man here now?”
Gu Beihan, as if he did not see the dagger at all, continued talking to Lu Zixun.
The next second, tentacles emerged from the Shadow World and pinned the attacker down on the table.
Fortunately, Lu Zixun was quick and picked up the milk tea; otherwise, it would have been spilled.
“Ding—Fear value from test subject Gomora detected +15000.”
“?”
The prompt from the system made Lu Zixun frown; test subject Gomora, what in the world was that?
Jie Yi came forward, pulled open the collar of test subject Gomora, and said to Gu Beihan, “Mr. Gu, this is number 31.”
“Hmm, I thought it would be number three.”
Shaking his head, Gu Beihan smiled, “Lord Xun, feel free to ask whatever you want, number 31 will answer you.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and after thinking, he asked, “Is this a test subject from Gomora?”
Unexpectedly, Lu Zixun immediately recognized it as a test subject from Gomora, causing Gu Beihan’s pupils to dilate, but he quickly regained his composure, “Indeed, it seems you know quite a bit as well, Lord Xun.”
“I know nothing.”
Internally remarking, Lu Zixun chuckled slightly, “Still, I cannot compare with Mr. Gu, like, what is the purpose of Gomora creating these test subjects?”
Gu Beihan gave Jie a look.
Jie understood and stepped forward, pressing something on the back of number 31’s head, and a chip appeared on the top of 31’s head.
This type of modification technology made Lu Zixun think of the Light and Shadow Association.
It was uncertain whether this test subject was of flesh and blood or purely a robot.
Jie, having obtained the chip, inserted it into a portable computer he carried, and a projection screen in the private room came down while the projector began working.
On the screen, the entire process of number 31 being manufactured to its death was recorded.
With the playback speed increased eight times and jumping ahead, Lu Zixun roughly understood the situation.
The test subjects created by Gomora were not modified directly onto the shell like those by the Light and Shadow Association.
They were bionic robots.
The purpose of creating these test subjects, as previously mentioned by Gu Beihan, was to stop the restoration of the passage.
It was mentioned in the World Mystery that there is more than one Ancient God.
The reason for the passage restoration is that the Ancient God of the Three-layered World is trying to fully restore it.
Gomora, whose strength has not yet recovered, naturally would not allow a second Ancient God to appear to compete for his followers.
Thus, he created these test subjects that fear not the twisted, to enter the Bottom of the Abyss and hinder the restoration of the passage.
However, looking at the current situation, Lu Zixun estimated it probably was not very effective.
“So?”
After organizing the information in his mind, Lu Zixun looked up at Gu Beihan.
“Once the passage is successfully restored, it means that the Three-layered World and Second Layer World would be able to access each other, which implies significance that I believe you understand better than I do.”
With a slight curl of his lips, Gu Beihan said indifferently, “So, my idea is to let the passage be restored, while simultaneously severing the connection between the First Layer World and Second Layer World.”
The strategy of driving away the tiger and swallowing the wolf, huh…
Lu Zixun instantly understood Gu Beihan’s plan.
He intended to use the Ancient God of the Three-layered World to restrain Gomora.
At the same time, because the passage is exposed to the twisted, neither the Insect Clan nor humans from the Three-layered World could enter the Second Layer World.
This would ensure that no wars happen in the Second Layer World while also resolving the troubling issue of Gomora.
It’s just a pity that this seemed to have little to do with the Demon Country.
“So, why should I do this?”
Drinking down the milk tea, Lu Zixun smiled and said, “As you said before, today’s Zhenfei is tomorrow’s Demon Country, but by hiding with the Demon Country until tomorrow arrives, wouldn’t the problem be solved?”
“You can’t hide.”
Shaking his head, Gu Beihan chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Lu Zixun’s naivety, “The Crimson Land is only so large; wherever you hide, Gomora would be able to find you.”
“Heh.”
To this, Lu Zixun had no intention of explaining anything and stood up, ready to leave.
Gu Beihan also stood up and said indifferently, “Lord Xun, I hope you will consider my proposal carefully; otherwise, once Gomora’s sacrificial ceremony begins, no one in the Crimson Land will survive.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun paused his steps, smiled, and said, “That is for you to consider, not me.”
Watching Lu Zixun’s departing figure, a dark shade crossed Gu Beihan’s eyes.
This cat used to be quite warm-hearted, so why did he appear so serene today?
“Mr. Gu, what should we do now?”
At this moment, worry filled Jie Yi’s eyes.
If Lu Zixun was unwilling to act, relying on their strength alone, they had no way to stop Gomora; they might even be converted, which would be problematic.
“Lu Zixun must have found a way to hide the Demon Country; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.”
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Gu Beihan said, “Let the forces of the last block hide first; we’re going to Zone 7.”
I have to say, sometimes Gu Beihan’s guesses are quite accurate.
Lu Zixun indeed thought of a good solution.
At that time, no matter what Gomora would do, Lu Zixun would simply hide in the ruins, seal the entrance, and move away.
Hearing that Gu Beihan wanted to go to Zone 7, Jie Yi hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Mr. Gu, are we going to Zone 7… to find Long Jiuri?”
“Yes.”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Gu Beihan nodded reluctantly, “Right now, the only ones who have the strength to negotiate with Gomora are Long Jiuri and Yang Guohong, only Yang Guohong is not trustworthy.”
Hearing this, Jie Yi thought of Yang Guohong, nodded in understanding, and began to relay Gu Beihan’s orders.
