Chapter 216 The Death of the Bad Woman and the Threat of the Secret Realm
Chapter 216 The Death of the Bad Woman and the Threat of the Secret Realm
It was as if the mute button was pressed in the townhouse at this moment.
Xie Ziying opened her eyes wide, but could not make any sound.
The black and red tentacles spread to the kitchen and took out a sharp kitchen knife.
"jingle."
The crisp sound of the knife hitting the ground reached Xie Ziying's ears, and fear gradually engulfed her heart like a tide.
The silver kitchen knife reflected her stiff face under the light.
"Yes."
A mechanical voice came out of the woman's mouth.
Xie Ziying picked up the kitchen knife on the ground and cut a deep wound on her wrist.
The blood gradually dripped from the fingertips to the ground.
The way she chose to die was by slitting her wrists.
Russell just watched everything happening in front of him calmly.
If at the beginning he was still thinking about whether to keep the other party as a dog or get rid of her directly, then after reading the information on the two cards, Xie Ziying was already a death sentence in his eyes.
Just like Spider-Man said.
The old woman with a young face in front of her is a hopelessly bad woman.
Russell doesn't need those two cards. Can they be as binding as the contract of the Begging Spirit Society?
At least Kingpin's contract Russell still doesn't know what level of card maker the upper limit can control.
Russell also figured it out by now, and put aside his next plan to make Aizen, completely separating the two identities.
Even if they were not separated, he should have gotten rid of Xie Ziying, the unstable factor, long ago.
After all, he didn't openly show any cards that could control others.
But it doesn't matter even if it is shown.
Xie Ziying had no good intentions. Even if everyone thought it was Russell who did it, would they dare to confront Russell?
You should know that Xie Ziying is an unregistered illegal card maker.
Of course, Russell must have made all the preparations.
If Xie Ziying died, Zeng Bo would definitely become suspicious again.
He already had a basic idea of the materials Aizen needed.
First up is the latest gold-level [Cold-blooded Fraudster] (Red) sent by the Spirit Beggars.
It represents the hypnotic power of mirror flowers and water moons.
The second is the demons in the secret realm that descended this time.
【Curse Master】.
"Can't it be considered as a ghost path?"
All Russell needs to do is obtain a piece of material of purple quality or above in the secret realm, and he will be the last piece of the puzzle.
A material representing Aizen's enormous spiritual pressure. Aizen's spiritual pressure is definitely among the best in the entire Shinigami. It is even more exaggerated after being strengthened by the Hogyoku. The only ones who can suppress him are probably Yhwach and a certain pure numerical monster, Kurosaki Ichigo.
Oh, and there is also the numeral monster’s son, the super numeral monster Kurosaki Ichiyong.
Do you understand the significance of my brave emperor killing Yhwach single-handedly?
Thinking of the plot of the original novel, Russell couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
He has also considered how to obtain it. Now it has been almost a month since he took office, and the 10,000 points as salary will be paid out soon.
Add to that the bonus points for blocking the demon invasion this time, and it will be more than enough to exchange for a piece of material of gold quality or above.
After the indigo dye is produced, all you have to do is find the right time to show it to everyone.
Of course, it is mainly for Zeng Bo to see.
After collecting her scattered thoughts, Xie Ziying was already barely breathing.
She slumped on the sofa, her left hand with its artery cut hanging limply on the edge of the sofa, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
It's really uncomfortable to quietly feel the passage of life.
Even she would never use this method to deal with useless waste before.
Russell just remained silent as he watched this scene.
It’s not that he was soft-hearted. He was thinking that if he was not special enough to escape the control of the contract, then the fate of Xie Ziying in front of him might be the same as his.
"We still have to improve as quickly as possible and leave the Spirit Begging Society as soon as possible."
Although it is convenient for him to do dirty work with the identity of Lu Xi from the Qi Ling Society, Russell still knows how to distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
If he really wants people to do dirty work for him, he can later create a [Wan Fu Bi Ying Po Jie] to break Jinping's contract and recruit some of the people from the Qi Ling Society for his own use.
Jinping's contract originated from [Hermes], and [Wanfu Biying Pojie] was the manifestation of the divinity of the treacherous witch Medea, both of which belong to Greek mythology.
Greek mythology happens to place the greatest emphasis on so-called fate.
The unjust contract was broken by the dagger of betrayal.
It's as ridiculous as the three generations of gods in Greek mythology, Uranus, Kronos and Zeus, who were overthrown by their own sons.
Seeing that the old woman in front of him had stopped breathing, Russell sighed and said, "Let's go."
"Wait, wait." Spider-Girl quickly crawled to the switch and turned off the lights in the living room. "That's good. The first person who finds this will be scared to death."
There was a female corpse sitting in the dark living room who had committed suicide, which really looked like the beginning of a horror movie.
The premise is that the first person to discover the body is not the card maker.
Otherwise it would just be a one-stop service of cremation, burial and funeral.
After all, there are quite a few underworld cards among card makers, like Ji from Taoyuan City.
As the little spider cast a space magic, the man and the spider disappeared in the villa.
The only sound in the silent villa was some liquid dripping onto the ground.
"Tick tock tock."
"Then Vice President, I will go back and rest first."
In the defensive fortifications that had already begun to take shape, Lu Yan, director of the Secret Realm Office, spoke to a young man.
At this time, three days had passed since the demon invasion.
For the past three days, the civil engineering seniors have been working overtime to build fortifications. If it weren't for the fact that they needed some special enchantments in order to ward off demons, they would have been able to finish the work in just one day.
"Well, I'll be watching over here, Director Lu, have a good rest."
"I think it's almost done. After that, we need to lead the team into the secret realm and seize the entrance."
Lu Yan nodded and disappeared on the spot.
Russell stretched his muscles in the simple office camp, then sat in a chair and started reading "One Hundred and Eight Squid Writing Skills v3.04 Revised Edition".
Nothing major happened in these three days.
The beggar would keep his tail between his legs under his control for fear of causing any trouble.
The Guiyi Sect did not do anything anymore, as if this illegal organization did not exist in Donglai at all.
Although Russell always felt that they were holding back a big thing and were just waiting for the day to let it out.
Also, Xie Ziying hasn't come to harass him in the past few days. Although Lu Yan is a little confused about this, he didn't say anything.
"It seems that no one has noticed that the old woman is dead."
Russell couldn't help but think of what the square-faced middle-aged man told him: that since that day, his son seemed to be less concerned about Xie Ziying.
Russell knew the reason very well, but he just couldn't say it out loud.
"And that's it."
"It's been so long, and Sima Huai hasn't come once."
Russell was a little surprised. Logically speaking, even if you, Sima Huai, said on the first day that you were afraid of incidents in other areas and needed to stay at the headquarters and not come, there was really nothing to blame.
But now that the situation has stabilized, wouldn’t it be a bit too much if we didn’t come at all?
But the other party is the president, so Russell can't say anything.
"President, the fortifications are basically completed. Would you like to inspect them?"
At this time, a silver-level card maker walked quickly into the office camp, bowed his head and spoke respectfully to Russell.
Russell closed the book in his hand and said, "Then take a look."
In fact, he knew nothing about this, and the most he could do was release his mental power to scan the intensity.
Normally, this should be the job for Lu Yan, the director of the Secret Realm Office.
But since my subordinates have reported this, I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so I might as well go out and take a look.
Walking out of the office camp, the dirty civil engineering seniors were talking in low voices.
The civil engineering seniors on this blue planet are also very tired, but the association pays a lot, and there is no such thing as good-faith withholding of wages. After all, these seniors are really good at mud trucks.
"You should all be aware of the current situation."
In a huge hall somewhere, an old man with a long beard and gray hair said calmly.
Hearing this, a middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Isn't there still some time before the agreed date? How come it came early?"
The old man replied calmly, "I don't know. The order given by the Supreme Being that day was just for me to be prepared."
"But the incident happened suddenly, and I only had time to gather a small part of the spellcaster army and rush to the entrance first."
"You all know what happened next."
"Only one out of ten of the vanguard troops survived."
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then he said in a cold voice: "The Grand Speaker means that there is an ambush targeting us outside?"
The old man known as the Grand Speaker just shook his head: "I don't know."
"But according to the report from the surviving spellcasters, they encountered someone as strong as us right after they went out."
"It seems like the other party has been guarding the entrance from the beginning."
These words undoubtedly confirmed the middle-aged man's guess.
The scene just became quiet.
After a long while, the Grand Speaker said in a deep voice: "At present, the Spellcasters have assembled at the entrance. We can set off as soon as we pass the agenda."
"Now start voting on whether to actively attack the outside world."
After saying this, the Grand Speaker raised his right hand first: "I agree."
"agree."
"agree."
"be opposed to."
"agree."
Soon, the voting ended.
The Grand Speaker knocked the gavel in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Twenty-seven votes in favor, four votes against, and one abstention."
"The issue has been passed."
"Now everyone go back and get ready."
Seeing the result was out, all the spellcasters responded in unison: "Yes!"
"Director Zeng, Director Lu, it's almost time to leave."
At the entrance to the secret realm, Russell looked at the huge space crack in front of him and spoke to the two middle-aged men beside him.
Behind the three of them was a large number of card makers.
For a small city like Donglai, this is the strongest team it can currently offer.
Hearing this, Lu Yan said without any hesitation: "Then let my card go in first."
His cards are from the tough and sturdy [Zombie] series, and the gold level is already capable of making a fairly strong [Flying Zombie].
What follows next are [wandering corpses], [undissolved bones], and the legendary [drought demon] that covers a thousand miles of barren land.
However, [Hanba] still depends on the individual. Even if it is not a zombie series, you can make this card.
The main reason is that there are too many documents recording "Hanba". For example, the record in "Shan Hai Jing" is actually "Tiannvba". Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it has nothing to do with zombies.
Although the abilities are similar.
And Lu Yan's [Flying Zombie] can fight and run, and has a strong ability to protect its life.
It can also be enhanced in moonlight.
These are the basic abilities of the [Zombie] series. The rest of the abilities depend on how the story is written when the card is made.
At this time, it was not convenient for Russell to summon Spider-Man to come out for an appraisal, so naturally he had no way of knowing more detailed information.
However, Russell was not prepared to explore these issues, so he nodded immediately: "Okay."
At noon, a burly white-faced man with black air wrapped around his face suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yan.
This is his card [Flying Zombie], which Russell had seen before when he fought alongside him.
Obviously, Lu Yan's zombies do not have the weakness of sunlight.
But then again, which card maker would allow such a big weakness to appear on his own card when making it?
And based on Russell's previous observations, the strength of this card is probably not low, at least it is a gold card, and it is a long-lasting protracted battle card.
At this time, the white-faced man nodded at Lu Yan and rushed into the secret realm.
A group of card makers began to wait silently for the results.
After a long while, Lu Yan's face turned pale, and then a tattered figure flew out from the entrance.
It's his zombie.
[Flying Zombie] At this time, its sturdy body was covered with wounds, and half of its head was easily blown off its neck.
Fortunately, these are only minor injuries to the zombies.
"What's the situation in there?" Zeng Bo asked in a cold voice after taking a look at the Flying Zombie whose injuries were recovering rapidly.
Obviously, he had sensed something was wrong from the state of [Flying Zombie].
Lu Yan shook his head: "Inside."
"It may be difficult to force your way in."
"A large number of demons have gathered at the entrance."
"Ada was besieged as soon as he entered."
Recalling the images sent back by his card, the square-faced middle-aged man did not look very happy.
Not long after the [Flying Zombie] named Ada entered the secret realm, it was overwhelmed by the overwhelming colorful attacks.
Fortunately, most of the attacks could not break Ada's defense, which forced him to retreat.
In fact, under normal circumstances, when a gold-level secret realm appears, it should be entered first by an emerald-level card maker.
Once the Emerald-level card maker has cleared the entrance, the follow-up troops will follow.
The key issue is where can Donglai find a Jade-level card maker? Even if we ask for help from other cities, Jade-level card makers may not be available.
Lu Yan continued, "The most important thing is that the demons inside might want to invade the world."
Russell was silent.
He had thought of this problem when he heard that a large number of demon troops had gathered at the entrance.
At the moment, all that is needed is a card with strong enough defense that can clear out the miscellaneous soldiers in an instant to create a gap for Donglai's card maker.
And Russell also has this kind of card, which is Spider Girl.
But Spider-Girl's card as Lucy's pseudonym cannot be exposed to the public.
Although Misaka Mikoto has strong attack power and aoe, her defense is a bit weak.
This kind of situation will lead to a cooling-off period.
After thinking for a moment, Russell made a quick decision: "Let's go into the fortifications and wait."
"I'll ask the teacher for help if necessary."
Zeng Bo and Lu Yan were stunned at first, then opened their mouths wide.
They all know who Russell's teacher is, the master card maker [Yan Luo] Bai Yueming.
But is it necessary to disturb him just for a gold-level secret realm?
Russell also saw what they were thinking: "What are you thinking about."
"If anyone comes, it will be my senior sister at most."
"Let's see if there's any chance of a turnaround first."
The two middle-aged men were silent. What could possibly happen now?
Unless the young man in front of him suddenly took out a card that could change the situation.
Russell said this because he naturally had a solution.
As long as he can obtain a piece of purple quality [Spellcaster] material, he can start the production of blue dye.
If it really doesn't work, you can only use the previous blue material.
