Travel through the long dream millennium

The night is dark.

A full moon hangs high in the indigo blue sky that is almost pitch-black. The cool and bright brilliance is not dazzling, but it is enough to eclipse any stars.

【"The calm here can only be maintained for a moment. When the people in the room find out about Zheng Xuanyin's condition, there may be another big turmoil."] Gu Changli said to Xuan Qing.However, the movement of him sitting on the roof and swaying his legs boredly does not quite fit the rather heavy sound transmission from the previous sentence.

【"That bastard has already killed you, apprentice, why don't you just take his life, it's just that it's been easy for him to go crazy for a while."] Xuan Qing, who was still brooding in his heart, responded angrily.

【"For that kind of hero, he would rather die than lose his mind and become a real lunatic... What's more, I don't believe that the Zheng family has developed to this point. There will be no enemies along the way. Someone came to Zheng's family with even more terrifying and cruel methods."] He casually passed the topic with a haha, Gu Changli did not speak directly about the fluctuation in his heart at that moment.

I don't know if it's because of the fragments of consciousness remaining in the original body, but under the previous circumstances, he was unable to have a murderous intention towards Zheng Xuanyin.

But one is a powerful and mighty noble from the Holy City, and the other is a so-called "weapon" family whose origins are a mystery, and everyone will shout and beat them even if their identities are exposed. Where will they meet? Why did my memory completely disappear without a trace?

【"Apprentice, so many unexpected things happened tonight, do you still want to meet that kid Reinhardt?"] Xuanqing's question from the sea of ​​consciousness made Gu Changli more and more nervous. Picked out from the thick cloud of suspicion, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his slightly aching temple, and replied decisively, 【"Of course... I spent a lot of energy, but I only made a pistol from the beginning to the end. Didn’t see Reinhardt, so I’d be in a bloodbath if I inquired about the recent secrets of the holy city from him?]

After saying that, he jumped up from the roof, patted the hem of his clothes, and planned to start again in the original direction.

【"How long can the master maintain the phantom formation?"】

【"...Don't be too arrogant, kid, don't you look down on me as an old man?! Don't worry, it's enough for you to go around the Holy City five, six, seven or eight times!"] Xuan Qing, who was in Gu Changli's sea of ​​consciousness, stared angrily.

【"Yes, yes, I know that master is the most reliable person in the world, apprentice, how could I possibly doubt your ability."] Gu Changli's tone was flat, with a slight smile hidden.

But it was such a "perfunctory" answer that was obviously considered to take care of his face, and Xuan Qing secretly held his face and chuckled for a long time——Since he came to this world, his brother's attitude towards him seems to have improved all of a sudden , he finally has some dignity as a master.

Sure enough, the apprentice was not in vain, how caring!

Little do they know that as soon as such thoughts arise, the so-called teacher's dignity seems quite ridiculous.

——Clearly, he is a hopeless and severe apprentice-control, who is born without knowing it.

【"But apprentice brother, what is that so-called "pistol"? A powerful magic weapon?"】

On the way, he recalled everything he had experienced before, and found that his apprentice was obviously very satisfied with what he got from the boy of the Zheng family... heck, he was very satisfied with what he got, and even had a sense of nostalgia, so he asked a question by the way.

Regarding this, Gu Changli first pursed his lips and smiled, and explained helplessly, 【"It's not a magic weapon, but to be honest, its use is similar to that of an offensive magic weapon. It's all about borrowing foreign objects to increase one's own abilities. Increase the lethality. The biggest difference from the magic weapon should be that it does not require any spiritual power or French drive. As long as the bullet is filled, it can be used at any time by pulling the trigger. It can be regarded as another invention for ordinary humans without any spiritual power and spells. It’s one of the famous hot weapons that came out.”]

【"Tsk tsk——"] Shocked by Gu Changli's description, Xuanqing sucked his teeth in the space of consciousness for a while, especially when he heard that it was just such an ordinary mortal "organ" "The power of the blow was almost equal to the one blow by the foundation-building cultivator, and he was even more dumbfounded, ["I didn't expect that mere mortals could have such an ability, and this "pistol" is even more amazing. good fortune."】

Hearing the master's voice from the sea of ​​consciousness, obviously strongly shocked, Gu Changli twitched the corners of his mouth silently, and replied lightly, 【"After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces."】

But he silently swallowed the sentence, "Mankind in later generations has long developed many terrifying weapons that are more lethal than pistols."Among other things, even if you are cultivating, if a mushroom bomb (nuclear bomb) is planted, even the so-called ascetics who are distracted by the protection of the mountain guards will not be spared.

As a native of the world of comprehension, the master has made a lot of efforts to adapt to the environment of the end times.Why should I use the huge difference between the two lives to keep reminding the former that the world is different, and people are right and things are wrong.

----------------

After Gu Changli quickened his pace, after about half an hour's journey, they finally arrived at a very remote and desolate corner of the Holy City—that is, the prison where Reinhardt is now being held.

But maybe God is honesty and Gu Chang can't get along tonight.As soon as he arrived at the destination, he stood in a dark corner and hadn't figured out how to get in and find the cell where Reinhardt was being held, when he heard the sound of orderly footsteps not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the group of people dressed in uniforms very similar to Reinhardt's style at the time clearly looked like a small team. Led by a tall man with a stern face, they kicked down the prison door of the prison. Swaggeringly "broke" in.Amidst the furious and swallowed expressions of the crowd, a red-haired, conspicuous young woman in the team "carried" Reinhard, who was seriously injured and in a coma.

"What does that have to do with me?"

"If you want to make trouble, tell that old dog Zheng Xuanyin to join our guard personally."

The warden who stayed behind finally couldn't hold back anymore, jumped out and wiped his sweat with a smiling face, and said, "Master, the important prisoner of the holy city that your subordinates are carrying now, if you take him away like this, then we will be very difficult to be human." Can you be a little more considerate, hahaha——" After that, the leading man gave a cold snort, and replied in a deep, shameless voice.

In the huge holy city, the one who dared to call the "old dog" the behemoth who almost ruled the pinnacle of all the nobles was probably the only one.

The poor warden's face turned green, but he couldn't even utter the slightest rebuttal when facing the man's murderous eyes.

"Besides, the charge has not yet been determined, and Little Rhine was only temporarily imprisoned and imprisoned for action. Why did he have so many wounds on his body in just a few days... There are even many traces that are the result of interrogation—" very heroically Reinhardt's red-haired woman suddenly covered her lips and smiled lightly, her laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell, but there was a bit of coolness for no reason, "Thank you very much for your "special" care, our guards will definitely Okay, okay, land, write down this kindness—you, wait, wait."

At some point, a small snake with a width of half a foot and a length of index finger, colorful and beautiful, and black eyes, which is enough to make anyone who is afraid of snakes fall in love with it, snaked along the warden's right foot, and finally stopped at the On his shoulder, just inches away from his neck.

Don't make any rebuttals now, the warden's legs immediately gave way, if not for a sharp-eyed jailer reaching out to help him, he might have knelt down directly.

"Gu, Captain Gu... I'm also offering this to my superior—" The warden, who received another "gentle and kind" look from the red-haired woman, trembled all over his body, "You, you can do whatever you want, I and we didn't watch anything tonight Come on, I didn't hear anything!"

The scene suddenly fell into an unspeakable dead silence.

So in the next few people took Reinhard away without looking back, and in the process of walking away, none of the jailors and guards present dared to say anything, like stone men, they didn't even have much to say. asthma.

【"—Apprentice, that boy Reinhardt fell into the hands of others... Shall we catch up now?"】

Xuan Qing, who could only hear the voices from the outside world, was not very clear about what happened, but this did not prevent him from coming to the conclusion that "a group of people stepped in and took Reinhard away before they did". .

["Forget it for now, they are probably Reinhardt's teammates, that is, members of the Holy City Guard, and everyone must have supernatural powers."] Not long ago, he had just suffered from the entrustment. Li Jin would not despise any supernatural being.

It is true that his supernatural immunity can make him invincible in the face of a small number of supernatural beings, but there are many powerful people in the world, and those who are arrogant and arrogant will usually be beaten in the face by some kind of cosmic will in the end. .

【"What's more, based on their relationship with Reinhardt, as long as the specific identity is not revealed, I can still be counted as their "friend" for the time being, and I haven't reached the floor where I will completely tear my face."]

【"Well... So, we are going back now?】 Xuan Qing said with some hesitation.

【"That's the only way to go."】Sighing lightly, Gu Changli spread his hands helplessly.

Gu Changli, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly flashed a flame-like crimson color at one point of view, which made him stop subconsciously.

Isn't this color on the Firefox that he accidentally rescued on the road not far from the holy city, and because of this, he had some conflicts with Zheng Changyuan?

The expression on Gu Changli's face, who stayed in place, changed several times, and finally froze on the slight anger.

【"Master, it looks like we can't leave yet.

】

【"There may be another good show here."】

["???"] Xuan Qing, who couldn't see the little fox, had a dazed expression.

----------------

In the deserted city thousands of miles away from the Holy City, the moonlight quietly shone on this city that was clearly still in hot summer, but was covered in endless snow and ice.

Deathly silence and desolation.

"pat-"

The sound of stones or other hard objects being kicked down and hitting the wall suddenly sounded, which was particularly ear-piercing and attractive in today's environment where needles could be heard.

It was only a little girl about eight or nine years old who caused this movement, holding an old but clean doll tightly in her arms.

The little girl's facial features were exquisite, her skin was extremely white, almost transparent and morbidly pale.

She staggered and drifted endlessly in the city that had turned into a dead zone. In the dark and deep night, she appeared lonely and... cold and terrifying.

A string of "necklaces" that were originally hanging around her neck broke suddenly as if unable to withstand the excessive cold, and a stone that served as a "pendant" fell to the ground as a result, awakening the girl's somewhat confused mind .

The little girl lowered her head slightly to look at the unattractive stone that was hung on her chest and placed next to her body so preciously. The blond man who smiled at her that day and invited her to go forward involuntarily appeared in her mind.

holy... city...

She suddenly raised her head to look at the bright and clear moon, and blinked her eyes.

Is it...north?

She didn't wear shoes on her slender and tender feet, but her bare feet were not stained with any dust and dirt when walking and wandering in a city.

Because every time she took a step, the water vapor on the ground quickly gathered and condensed into ice, gently supporting her steps, like a pious and humble kiss.

Frost and ice surrender at her feet.
