Chapter 322 The truth?
Chapter 322 The truth?
Although Russell's thoughts were in a mess at this time, he still forced himself to calm down. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
He did not ask questions like how to operate it or whether he had any companions.
If Jin Ping can tell, he will naturally tell him, but if he can't tell, it's useless to ask, it will only arouse the old man's vigilance.
Jinping was undoubtedly very satisfied with his attitude.
He walked up to Russell and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, Xiaoliu, there is no way I can let you do this alone."
"You just need to complete the tasks I assign to you."
After saying this, the old man stopped talking, and it was obvious that he had no intention of telling the young man the identities of the other people.
Russell's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he asked respectfully in a low voice: "I wonder what the president wants me to do."
"It's not that easy to descend into a palace-level secret realm." Hearing this, Jin Ping began to laugh strangely, "Not to mention the Four Evil Gods, a somewhat special secret realm."
special?
At this time, Russell silently memorized the words of the old man beside him, and planned to ask his teacher association if there was any record about the Four Evil Gods after returning to Ming Dynasty.
Not knowing what he was thinking, Jinping continued, "Xiao Liu, you should know that we have some connection with the secret realm of the [Demon's Nest], right?"
The young man nodded silently. If the Qi Ling Society had no connection with the [Demon's Nest], then the base where Gu Wu was located could not have been built next to the secret realm.
But he didn't understand why the old man in front of him suddenly brought up this.
"All you need to know is that the Four Evil Gods have some relationship with the [Devil's Nest]."
"Since you're already at the diamond level, then you can tell that old ghost Bai Yueming that you want to return to Shanghai to take up a position."
"Once your position is confirmed, I will inform you of the specific tasks."
Hearing this, Russell vaguely grasped something, but it was obvious that now was not a good time to think: "Yes, I know."
At this point, his purpose of coming to find Jinping today has basically been achieved. Although the specific implementation steps of the old man's plan are still unclear, being able to figure out the other party's ultimate goal can be said to be a great gain.
And according to Jin Ping's words, descending into a palace-level secret realm is obviously not something that can be done overnight, so we will just have to deal with it as the time comes.
Of course, the best case scenario is to find the old man's hiding place and then have Ye Zhou kill him.
Thinking of this, Russell asked calmly: "President, if I have something to do, should I still come here to find you?"
Hearing his question, Jinping simply explained: "I will probably be conducting demonization experiments in the City Within a City in the days to come."
"If there is no reply, just go find me there."
Russell's heart sank.
The worst situation has occurred. The old man has begun to hide in this city like a turtle.
He sighed silently in his heart and then changed the subject: "President, what about the set of materials you mentioned as a reward for me after I reach the diamond level?"
"You've been thinking about him for a long time, right?" Jin Ping's mouth curled up into an exaggerated arc. "Just go find Xiao Wu. You should know where he is."
Long before he came here, Russell had been thinking about the diamond-grade material that the other party had promised him, and now it seems that the old man is not going to go back on his word.
Yes, for a master-level Kingpin, some diamond-level materials are of no use at all.
"President, I will take my leave now."
"Ah."
Russell pushed the door and walked out of Jinping's study. Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, he couldn't help but squint slightly.
"The Four Evil Gods?"
He let out a sigh and temporarily suppressed his doubts in his heart.
"Let's go find Gu Wu and get the materials first."
No matter what, the Qi Ling Society gave him the start-up capital, and because he had a showdown with Bai Yueming, he didn't have to hide the materials he obtained in secret like he did before.
If someone is really confused, just say it was support from your own teacher.
With this in mind, Russell had already come out of the city and used the [Blood Sacrifice Ritual Array] to return to the Ming Dynasty waters.
After determining the direction, he flew towards the Qiling Society's base in his memory.
It wasn't long before Russell saw the somewhat familiar land of flesh and blood.
"O King of Flesh and Blood"
At first, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the person who was responsible for this horrific scene before him, but then he was stunned and frowned slightly.
".king?"
He thought of something, but he would have to wait until he got back to talk about it in detail.
After a moment, a huge crack exactly the same as the last time appeared in Russell's eyes, and a man in a black suit stood expressionlessly next to the crack.
Seeing this, the young man landed next to the man in the suit and casually greeted him, "Fifth Brother."
Facing his disrespectful tone, Gu Wu simply said, "I didn't expect you to reach the diamond level so quickly."
"Ah"
Hearing this, Russell glanced at him, with a hint of playful smile on his face: "Calling you Fifth Brother is to give face to the president."
He has not forgotten what happened in Shanghai when he was still a bronze-level card maker.
It would be better to say that if there was no Gu Wu, Russell would not be a member of the Begging Spirit Society now.
If he hadn't needed the identity of the Qiling Society later, Gu Wu would have been crushed to death by him long ago.
And if Moyu Miaoxuan and the others might have their own difficulties, then the man in front of him was definitely Jinping's loyal dog.
Even the reason why he revealed the news to him before was only because he was still useful to Jinping.
In response, Gu Wu just sneered without commenting: "Shhh"
Of course he knew that what Russell said was not a lie, but so what? With the president around, the other party would never dare to take action.
At least the man in the suit feels that he is still of some use.
The reason why Russell behaved like this was naturally to consolidate his image in Jinping's eyes. Anyway, that old man didn't seem to care about the relationships within the club, as long as they were loyal to him.
The atmosphere between the two was filled with tension as they came all the way to the material storage room. Along the way, the members of the Spirit Begging Society who were a little more considerate took a detour.
After all, no one wants to be involved in the fight between two big men.
Entering the room, Gu Wu threw the instrument for selecting materials to Russell: "See for yourself."
"Since you are still useful to the adults, you don't have to worry about me tampering with it."
Russell turned a deaf ear to his words. He just calmly turned on the screen of the instrument and started flipping through it.
However, with the experience of selecting emerald-grade materials last time, the young man had already prepared himself that the Qi Ling Club would not have too many diamond-grade materials.
But he didn't expect it to be so little.
There isn't even a single piece of venue material, no wonder Jinping would leave [The Decisive Battle Site] as a surprise.
Russell couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking silently in his heart: "It seems that even Pinduoduo's materials will be difficult to find this time."
He now plans to find five materials that he can use, just like last time, even if he cannot make a diamond-level card immediately.
After screening for a long time, the young man finally picked out the materials that he might be able to use.
[Limit Breaker] (Red).
[Humanoid Monster] (Red). [Surging Waves] (Red).
【Thunder Fang】(Red).
[Ultimate Hybrid] (Red).
The first two materials are prepared for Lao Lan and Spider Girl, while the last two materials are actually sword materials, which are used to upgrade the Holy Blade Belt.
As for the last one.
Of course, it was to create Ichigo Kurosaki.
After all, the venue materials are already in hand, so it's time to put the yellow-haired numerical monster on the agenda.
After Gu Wu took the instrument and took a look at the materials selected by Russell, he did not express his opinion, but took out five pieces of materials for the young man with an indifferent expression.
After collecting the materials, Russell waved his hand slightly: "Then I'll leave. No need to see me off."
After saying this, he disappeared into the material storage room.
The man in the black suit just stood there quietly when he saw this, and curled his lips slightly after a long time.
"whispering sound"
After Russell returned to Ming Dynasty, he first went to Zhang Jingxing to get the diamond-grade material that had been agreed upon previously.
However, to his surprise, his senior brother had quite a few diamond-level materials, some of which even included the materials he needed.
[A person who uses force to defeat skills] (Red).
"In this case, we only need one piece of material."
After getting the materials he needed, Russell returned to Beidu.
Because new regulations needed to be formulated, Bai Yueming had been staying in Beidu during this period.
However, as soon as he entered the door, the young man saw his teacher with a frown on his face.
"What's the matter, teacher?"
Seeing Russell, Bai Yueming's expression became a little better. He shook his head and said, "Master Fang and Master Ji proposed to abolish the Northern Capital and make the Southern Capital the capital."
Hearing this, Russell was stunned: "That's not necessary. Isn't Nandu the secondary capital?"
Since the Ming Dynasty had a dual capital system, in fact both the Northern Capital and the Southern Capital could be considered the capital.
After all, when the imperial court was still in existence, there was a small imperial court in Nandu for emergency shelter, although most of them were old men who were just waiting to die.
However, with the collapse of the imperial court, all of this naturally disappeared.
This is also the reason why Fang Ji and others proposed this resolution.
"Forget it, let's discuss it later." Bai Yueming sighed and immediately changed the subject, "What about you, Xiao Luo?"
"Did Jinping find out any useful information?"
Hearing his teacher talking about serious matters, Russell's expression immediately became serious: "Teacher, Jinping is preparing to descend to the Palace-level secret realm in Shanghai."
A huge amount of information is contained in a short sentence.
Fortunately, Bai Yueming had already prepared himself mentally. He frowned and said, "That old guy really has a big plan."
"Any more?"
Hearing this, Russell shook his head: "Except for knowing that the demons in the palace-level secret realm should be the Four Evil Gods, Jinping didn't say much else."
"Four evil gods?"
Bai Yueming touched his chin in confusion. He had heard of this name before.
After a moment's silence, Russell finally decided to express his guess.
But before that, he still needs to give his teacher a brief introduction.
Thinking of this, the young man handed his mobile phone to Bai Yueming: "Teacher, I think Jin Ping's purpose should be related to these two pieces of information."
What was displayed on the mobile phone at this moment was the information about the Four Evil Gods that he had obtained earlier.
Bai Yueming took the phone and checked it.
At the same time, Russell also expressed his guess: "Teacher, the flesh and blood king of the [Devil's Nest] should also be a subordinate of the Four Evil Gods."
"Just like the Plague King in the information."
Since Jinping said that the [Devil's Nest] is related to the Four Evil Gods, and thinking about the Plague King mentioned in the diary obtained from the [Sword Lake], the two names are extremely similar and Russell couldn't help but think so.
Hearing this, Bai Yueming nodded, obviously agreeing with what he said.
But this is not the end yet, Russell now has a bolder guess.
"Teacher, I think the reason why Jinping wants the Four Evil Gods to descend is probably because they can devour the secret realm."
[After that day, I realized that our world seemed to be reduced to this lake near the Qi family.]
The place where we live now is like
【Residue.】
This is information clearly recorded in the diary.
Everything displayed by the Four Evil Gods made Russell think of [Devouring the World]. The two were obviously similar to a certain extent.
It’s just that the Four Evil Gods are just dogs under the command of [Devouring the World].
"He wants to learn these four evil gods?"
At this moment, Bai Yueming's face looked terribly ugly, and he also thought of this horrifying possibility.
After all, Jinping has been looking for a way to escape from the mysterious space and become self-sufficient.
Russell uttered three words in a somewhat dry tone: "High probability."
Of course, there are still many problems, such as how Jinping plans to subdue the Four Evil Gods and how he plans to learn similar abilities from them.
The room became quiet.
After a long while, Bai Yueming pinched his brows tiredly and said, "I will talk to Xiaoye about these things."
"What are your plans next?"
Hearing this, Russell shrugged and said, "Jin Ping asked me to work in Shanghai. Teacher, do you think there is a suitable position for me?"
"That's easy. You can go and be Lao Yan's assistant. He has been complaining to me about the lack of manpower."
Russell certainly had no objection to Bai Yueming's arrangement.
However, he did not expect that when he left Shanghai, he was only a bronze-level card maker, but now when he returned, he was already a diamond-level card maker.
And then, Russell, the vice president of the Shanghai Card Artists Association, made his debut!
In fact, with his diamond-level strength, he could have held a higher position. After all, due to the collapse of the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty happened to be short of people everywhere.
But in order to complete Jinping's task, Russell had no choice but to suffer a little.
But there is also an advantage, that is, since the young man does not actually have a true diamond-level card now, this can also protect his safety in disguise. Even if there is real danger, there is a veteran diamond-level like Yan Wenlai to support him.
"I really don't know what Uncle Jiang and the others' expressions would be when they find out."
Thinking of the middle-aged man who took good care of him in Shanghai, Russell couldn't help but mutter.
