Chapter 73 073. Make a lot of money

The next day.

The "Gucheng Evening News" published a blockbuster report on its front page.

Last night at the Gucheng Hotel, the New Year's banquet held by the warlord Li Qing was invaded by red mist. Including Li Qing himself, all the guests present and the hotel staff suffered accidents, and no one survived.

According to reports, when subsequent people entered the banquet hall, they could only see a tragic mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It was impossible to tell who each corpse was. Among all the victims, there was me among them, and there was you among them. It was difficult to tell separate.

Since all the powerful people in the old city government attended the banquet, there was no leader for a while, and the upper echelons of the city fell into chaos. Many people had ulterior motives and wanted to take power.

However, at four o'clock in the morning, as if they had expected it, the rebels quickly cut through the mess and took control of the police station, military headquarters, administrative agencies and traffic arteries in the old city. After some fierce negotiations, they At eight o'clock in the morning, the rebels had actually occupied the old city.

As for the rebel prisoners who were originally going to be executed this morning, they have naturally been rescued.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, big news, Li Qing, the dog thief, is dead, Master Qingtian is here!"

The newsboy selling newspapers shouted loudly, the day before he was General Li Qing, and today he has become a dog thief. He turned against him faster than turning over a book.

"Let me tell you, yesterday I was running a shop here, and suddenly it started to fog. Then I seemed to hear something. When the fog cleared, I found that there was a lot of noise at the hotel. Oops, guess what? What’s wrong, the Li dog thief is dead!”

At the entrance of the bookstore, several nearby shopkeepers were sitting and chatting. Soldiers wearing rebel uniforms passed by on the street from time to time, as if they were trying to capture any possible resistance forces that still supported the warlords.

Of course, the main army in the old city had already surrendered, and the flag changing was not that violent and bloody. For most people in the old city, it was just a night of setting off firecrackers.

It’s also considered saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

The owner of the bookstore is quite happy. There are many people buying newspapers today, and his business is good.

While he was making calculations, he heard a somewhat lazy voice.

"Boss, is "The King in Yellow" still available?"

Looking up, the bookstore boss saw a tall, thin man wearing a simple suit and vest, just like an ordinary employee working in the patent office.

The man's eyes were dull and divergent, as if he hadn't had a good rest, and his whole person had a gloomy and decadent temperament.

Upon hearing the other party's words, the bookshop owner's eyes lit up. He cleared his throat and spoke seriously.

"The ones on the shelf are sold out. There should be some in the warehouse. Guest, will you come with me to take a look?"

"good."

The man nodded and followed the bookstore owner gently to the warehouse behind the bookstore.

Opening the warehouse, I saw a woman covered with a quilt, lying in a corner covered with quilts. She was disturbed by the sound of the door opening before she woke up. She opened her eyes, sat up, and pulled up the quilt to cover her body. .

This is exactly Tang Xiaomeng.

"Who are you?"

Tang Xiaomeng's memory only stopped at looking in the mirror in her room. She tried to recall, but the next moment, countless noisy words rang in her ears, and the knowledge she had never been exposed to before washed away her brain like a tsunami. , making her dizzy.

Then, she saw what seemed to be a huge spider climbing on the roof of the warehouse. It was made of flesh and blood, and it was terrifying.

A deep roar like a dragon came from the distance, and a huge shadow passed through the window, blocking the sunlight.

Even the strange man in front of him seemed to have a dark shadow lingering on his body, which was strange and terrifying.

"It's okay. Those are just auspicious furries from distant stars. You will get used to it slowly."

The man put his hand on Tang Xiaomeng's shoulder. Soon, Tang Xiaomeng felt that the noise in her ears had calmed down a lot, and the knowledge was hiding in the ravines of her brain like insects afraid of the sun.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but the warehouse became a lot brighter.

"Xia Yi entrusted you to me."

The man continued.

Hearing Xia Yi's name, Tang Xiaomeng's eyes showed confusion and confusion.

But soon, some flowing memories came to her mind. Different from the previous torrent of knowledge that was overwhelming and seemed to completely transform her consciousness, this one was soft and warm, like a gurgling stream shining in the sun. Flowing memories.

This is Xia Yi's memory.

Tang Xiaomeng was confused at first, then surprised, and finally turned into confusion and sadness. This memory was too profound, just like personal experience.

She saw Xia Yi's sinking and struggling, and felt his pain and persistence. In the end, everything turned into that look in his eyes. Tang Xiaomeng had seen it before. It was the look in Xia Yi's eyes when he was a student when he told his ideals. After many years, that look is still the same. constant.

Just like when we first met.

"A person's character is his destiny."

The man sighed softly, and looked at Tang Xiaomeng again, knowing that she had understood everything.

"Pack it up, I'm going to send you to a place where you can completely control the power contained in your body without losing control and becoming one of those monsters."

He said meaningfully.

Tang Xiaomeng raised her head subconsciously. The flesh-and-blood spider was approaching, tilted its head, and looked at the three of them.

".Who are you?"

The knowledge in her mind told Tang Xiaomeng not to pay attention to these monsters. She swallowed and asked the man.

"You can call me Wushan."

The man said calmly.

"Just a passing novelist."

In Qiao Mu's sight, the melody flowing in the dusk and setting sun outlined the system's repressed and crazy words.

"Make a fortune?"

He looked at the Chosen One points he had obtained with some disbelief.

After buying the [Guide to the World] before, his points had dropped to single digits, but now, his points have plummeted.

As expected, it is the [Erosion] difficulty that elementary school students would decisively choose!

"As expected of me!"

Qiao Mu couldn't help boasting.

"Great!"

A voice responded.

Qiao Mu immediately looked around, but found no one. Even the guy squatting in the corner before did not know where he had gone. The scientific exploration editorial office was empty, except for the green grass in the pot on the windowsill, which was as green as new.

"Hey, are you there?"

Qiao Mu leaned over and asked politely.

"No, cnm!"

Another voice sounded again.

Qiao Mu frowned, because this time he heard that the sound did not come from somewhere else, but from his body.

"Look at whatever you're looking at, and I'll drink you if you look at it again!"

A voice sounded from Qiao Mu's chest.

Qiao Mu thought for a while.

He reached out and opened his chest, then took out the heart and looked at it carefully.

"Can you say that again?"

He spoke to his heart.
