Chapter 346 Russell: Can I also cosplay Gaia?
Chapter 346 Russell: Can I also cosplay Gaia?
Because the battle started very suddenly, even though Bai Yueming tried his best to minimize the impact at the beginning, as the situation developed, Shanghai City inevitably slid into the abyss of destruction.
Not to mention that the arrival of Ji Weirui and Ye Zhou later brought the intensity of the battle to a new level.
In this situation, even if the Shanghai Card Masters Association responded quickly, it still resulted in a lot of casualties.
At this moment, Russell looked at the mess around him and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yueming forced himself to stand up, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Luo, don't take it to heart, this kind of thing is inevitable."
But having said that, the old man still felt a little sad, even though he had seen the things he wanted to protect turned to ashes more than once over the long years.
However, Russell was not that fragile. He simply calmed down and turned to Ye Zhou and the other two and said, "I have saved many ordinary people in the secret realm. Let the association send someone to bring them out later."
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned.
They didn't expect that Russell would still have the energy to protect others when facing a master card maker.
"it is good."
After a brief response, the scene fell into silence. After all, this emergency situation still made the Ming Dynasty pay a heavy price.
In silence, Russell glanced at the newly appeared master-level secret realm in the distance, and then asked with some doubt: "Teacher, when you fought against Jinping and the others, did you feel that their strength was significantly reduced compared to usual?"
He asked this because he thought of the obvious decline in Chris's condition after he descended into a diamond-level secret realm, let alone descending into a master-level secret realm.
But who would have thought that Bai Yueming was stunned after hearing his question, and then slowly shook his head: "No, at least I didn't feel it."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Zhou and Ji Weirui.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Ji and the others shook their heads slightly, indicating that they, like the old man, had not noticed anything wrong.
Seeing this, Russell couldn't help but frown slightly.
He didn't believe that Jin Ping and his men hadn't paid the slightest price. After all, if that was the case, then when he was in the Spiritual Begging Society, they wouldn't have had to do that.
and many more.
At this moment, Russell suddenly remembered the task that Jinping had assigned to him before he defected.
"Teacher, have you sent people to check out those secret realms that Jinping had targeted before?"
After hearing this, Bai Yueming and the other two quickly realized what the young man wanted to express.
They immediately ordered their card makers to go and check the current situation of the secret realm that had previously experienced unusual movements.
Soon, an Emerald-level card maker with a strange look on his face returned to the four people: "Reporting to the adults."
"Those Secret Realms"
"Disappeared."
Hearing this, Russell's face instantly turned ugly, and he murmured subconsciously: "Sure enough, did Jinping use those secret realms to offset the cost?"
Hearing this, Bai Yueming immediately spoke to comfort him: "Xiao Luo, this is not your fault."
"Even without you, Jinping would still have a way to connect with those secret realms."
He thought that his disciple was currently blaming himself for what had happened before.
Russell definitely feels a little guilty, but he won't dwell on it forever.
Instead of spending that time thinking about how to kill Jinping to comfort the souls of those who died at the hands of this old dog.
At this time, Ye Zhou said: "You should be tired, so let's leave things like this for now."
"We will discuss a follow-up disposal plan tomorrow."
It is highly likely that Shanghai will not be rebuilt. After all, there are still two master-level secret realms standing clearly on the coast.
Even though this hall-level card maker had beaten two of the master-level demons half to death, the danger level of this area still increased sharply afterwards.
Russell could only nod slightly in response, and then left the place under Spider-Man's space magic.
One day later, Su City.
Although the city was somewhat affected in the recent battle, it at least retained its basic functions, so it was chosen as a place to temporarily accommodate the refugees from Shanghai.
At this moment, Russell was staying in his temporary residence with his eyes closed and resting.
Bai Yueming did ask him if he wanted to go together to discuss the follow-up matters, but he declined.
After all, compared to these, he has more important things to do right now.
dong dong——
As the sound of knocking on the door came, Russell opened his eyes slightly.
As a diamond-level card maker, he certainly knew who was standing outside the door, so he just said calmly: "The door is not locked, come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man pushed open the door and walked into the room somewhat awkwardly.
It’s Xingu.
Seeing this, Russell made a joke to ease the atmosphere: "You didn't even think about running away."
Xingu's whole body froze when he heard that, and he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
He wanted to run away, but after seeing the tragic scene in the secret realm yesterday, he gave up the idea.
The boy didn't think he could escape from such a monster.
Of course, more importantly, Xingu also wanted to know why he came to this world.
Thinking of this, he considered it for a moment and then said, "Senior, you are joking."
"If you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
"I don't think I've done anything to offend the Ming Dynasty, so why should I run away?"
Russell was speechless for a moment.
He shook his head and didn't dwell on it too much: "Then I'll get straight to the point, so you don't have to think too much."
"Junior, you are not the original owner of this body, right?"
Although he was mentally prepared, Xingu couldn't help but feel a little flustered after hearing Russell's words.
Anyone who has gone through great pains to hide a secret and has it revealed would react like this.
Not to mention that this secret is related to one's own life and property.
After a brief moment of distraction, Xingu swallowed his saliva and said calmly, "Why do you say that, Senior?"
"I"
Before he could finish his words, Russell interrupted him: "There are only two of us here now, so don't try to test each other."
"That card of yours, Gulan, I have dealt with him before in a secret realm."
"and"
Having said that, Russell stopped talking and called out Altria.
The reason why he was so sure was that he and Gulan were the only ones who had any contact in the secret place of Great Britain, so it was impossible for outsiders to know the detailed information of this good man.
At this moment, Xingu looked at the blonde girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity in his heart.
But the boy was very sure that he had never seen the other person before today.
But soon, combined with what Russell had just said, he couldn't help but have an absurd idea in his heart: "Senior, you mean that Lord Gulan turned into a demon, and then you killed him and dropped the materials, and finally made them into cards, right?"
Under the huge mental shock, Xingu even forgot to continue concealing his true identity.
But then he overturned his own words: "Impossible, absolutely impossible" "Master Gulan's strength is at least at the master level."
It’s not that he looked down on his senior, but in the boy’s memory, the prototype character of his card was terrifyingly powerful.
But compared to these, another thought that made Xingu's whole body go cold flashed through his mind.
That is, since Lord Gulan has turned into a demon, doesn’t it mean that his world has also become a secret place?
Obviously, he had no memory of this at all.
At this time, Russell keenly captured the key information hidden in Xingu's words.
He frowned deeply and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Junior brother, before you came to this world, your world had not yet perished."
Upon hearing this, Xingu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, he said in a somewhat dry voice: "Senior, I won't hide it from you now."
"I came to Ming Dynasty after I died."
"Before I died, I remember being recruited by the Earl as a civilian to fight against the Demon King's army. However, before I could reach the battlefield, I was killed by a low-level demon."
At this point, Xingu added: "By the way, the Demon King's Army is not the secret realm demons."
At this point, Russell was too lazy to complain about the Dragon Quest flavor that permeated the boy's words.
He finally knew where the disobedience lay.
Xingu's timeline doesn't match what Russell himself experienced.
According to the young man, he had never seen the so-called secret place before his death.
[So he traveled through time before the world was destroyed? ]
[Or say]
Russell thought in his heart with a flickering look in his eyes.
But soon he thought of the mysterious object that the Quran had given to the world consciousness.
After organizing his words a little, he asked Xingu, "Junior, do you think you have more mental power than normal people?"
Hearing this, Xingu was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that his senior even knew about such things.
But soon, the boy thought of a possibility.
He said hesitantly, "It is much more than normal people."
"But how did you know that, Senior?"
"Is it you too?"
Upon hearing this, Russell nodded slightly and confirmed Xingu's guess.
Now he doesn’t really care about his origins. He is just a time traveler and can’t change anything.
In addition to his contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Russell felt that even if he were to run around saying that he was a time traveler, several high-level card makers in the Ming Dynasty would not care.
Seeing this, Xingu felt relieved immediately, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
People always want to find their own kind. God knows how scared he was when he first opened his eyes in this world.
Before the boy came to Ming Dynasty, he had no concept of time travel in his mind.
Not knowing what Xingu was thinking, Russell was immersed in his own thoughts at the moment.
[It seems that I am not necessarily a time traveler.]
Before today, Russell always thought that he was just an ordinary time traveler.
But based on the information currently provided by Xingu, the truth is most likely not so.
The Earth I was originally on has probably been destroyed.
Thinking of this, his expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy. Although he could be said to be a loner before traveling through time, he still had a few good friends.
[But you don’t have to worry about social death. 】
Russell could only comfort himself in this way for now. After all, when he first came to this world, he was still worried about what to do with the study materials and web browsing history in his hard drive.
At this moment, a classic line flashed through his mind.
Russell!
Why do you always have more mental power than others, and why is it so easy for you to break through?
Why couldn't Jinping force you to be demonized before?
Why is the card making process so easy?
Then there is only one answer!
Russell!
You are the first man in the world born from a secret realm!
Russell curled the corners of his mouth and threw the image of Xia Jiao's facial expression out of his mind.
However, he was not very sure whether he was born from the secret realm. After all, he did not know what the item that Gulan had given to the world consciousness was.
I will have to ask the world consciousness for more specific information about myself later.
Compared to Russell, who was in a complicated mood at the moment, Xingu seemed relaxed.
After watching his senior fall into silence for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior, do you have any other questions?"
Hearing this, Russell immediately pulled himself back to his thoughts.
He let out a breath, then said calmly: "No more, you can go back first."
"Also, it's best not to tell anyone about the conversation I had with you today."
This is to protect Xingu. Russell himself doesn't care about this kind of thing. After all, there are very few people in the world who can threaten him.
After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and then a ghost soldier emerged from the shadows beside him.
"Here are some bronze-level materials. You can use them first."
Russell was ready to invest in Xingu. Since he could get this far, there was no reason why Xingu, who had the same background as him, couldn't do it.
These are some bronze-level materials, so just give them to me.
However, you still have to examine the other party's character in the follow-up, so as not to raise an ungrateful person in the end.
But I think after the strict selection of world consciousness, this kind of thing should not happen.
At this time, Xingu was already dizzy from the unexpected blessing. The young man had not expected that today's trip would bring such benefits.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and took the materials from the ghost soldier, then bowed vigorously to Russell: "Senior, I will definitely not let you down!"
Seeing this, Russell laughed dumbly, then waved his hand and said, "Go back, be careful."
"Yes!"
Watching the young man leave his residence happily, Russell sighed imperceptibly.
But he soon calmed down.
Life must go on, no matter what the truth is, it does not hinder the fact that he is now an individual named "Russell". Instead of daydreaming, he might as well think about how to improve his own strength.
Thinking of this, Russell flipped his hand and took out the materials he had obtained in the secret realm yesterday.
Diamond level [Diamond Wooden Man] (red).
