Volume 1, Chapter 60: Revelation Sent by the Gods
As the saxophone in the broadcast dragged out its signature long, lingering final note, the alley suddenly blazed with brilliant light at the exact instant the music ended. The sound of hurried, light footsteps rushed outward, and for a moment, everyone felt as though their hearts had skipped a beat.
Regardless of who stayed or left, the risks were immense. Those who stayed would walk alone into the tiger's den, while those who left would once again brave the dragon's pool.
Just a little bit—just a tiny bit—was enough to pierce through these marked hippocampal "engram" cells, continuing to extract these memories belonging to others. Moving through these chaotic and complex "passages," they sought a single contrasting hue against the pitch-black background.
"My good ancestor, look over there first," Shen Xu said, pulling Wen Yue to make her look toward the passageway on the outer side of the gravity cube.
Meanwhile, Dong Jing beside him had fallen asleep, her head tilting repeatedly toward his side, whether intentionally or not. He felt quite helpless; they were on an airplane where everyone needed to rest, and there was nothing he could do.
He had simply done it for the sake of his pride and to claim a massive reward from the Beitang family, thereby fraudulently taking credit for another's achievement.
"The Tribulation of a Hundred Insects Devouring the Heart!" Mu Yuncheng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly helped the Prince of Ning up from his side. He then unclasped the black jade bracelet from his own wrist and placed it onto the Prince of Ning's.
"Why do you care so much!" She didn't want to explain that she had specifically bought it for him before they broke up; she didn't want to explain that she had once expected him to stay overnight at her place at least occasionally; and even less did she want to explain that she had prepared not only for summer, but for winter as well.
Xie Zi'ang stepped forward, his entire aura shrouded in a gloomy and violent chill. Xie Mingyu felt as though he were looking at him from a few days prior.
Under the night sky, the myriad lights of Jiangzhou City twinkled, and the river flowing through the city reflected the bustling night markets on both banks, sparkling and brilliant. From the various decorated pleasure boats on the river came snatches of song and dance, presumably from the brothels and taverns on the water, designed to catch the eye of passersby.
There were also rumors that Ziluowei was suffering from unrequited love and, in utter despair, had committed such a foolish act.
Then he instructed Liu Cuizhi's younger sister to brew a bowl of ginger soup and have her drink it once her fever subsided a little.
Suddenly, her heart began to flutter wildly. She glanced at Yang Liu, who was writing earnestly, and then pulled Zuo Chenggang's hand to enter Yang Qiong's parents' room.
This current period was safe; only the freshmen in their first year of university required mandatory evening self-study and dorm inspections.
At first, Irene thought Sophie's help might involve some unspeakable shady transactions, especially since Sophie had even invested in beauty treatments for her over the past three years.
"General Ross? Long time no see." Ye Kai looked at the general before him with a smile, offering a greeting.
"Alright, understood. Those two big guys just now attacked me, didn't they?" Tony said, somewhat speechless.
Previously, Ye Kai had been constantly busy and lacked the time to study and process the Infinity Stones. Now that all the miscellaneous matters were settled and he would have no major tasks to occupy him in the near future, he could officially begin researching the Infinity Stones.
Even with all the power in the world, Shangguan Tingyu could never buy off people who had such damning evidence in her hands.
At that moment, Yi Nanbing was feeling a bit dizzy from the sheer enthusiasm of her future mother-in-law. Upon catching Luo Zhihan's furious glare, she stared right back without the slightest bit of mercy.
For players with red or yellow names, the death penalty was much more severe. However, the Demon Realm relatively encouraged player killing; unless someone truly killed far too many people, they wouldn't easily turn red or yellow.
Uunqi screamed inwardly: *Oh my god! They say you shouldn't hit a smiling face, so how come there's a reckless blockhead here who even hits people with smiling faces?!*
The Alliance members were originally quite pleased, as they had successfully captured a high-level Death God Beast this time—something none of them had ever achieved before.
The array rotated, and the lotus light seal that fell into it did not explode; instead, it gradually stabilized. Following that, streams of blue light fell upon the lotus light seal, which was then progressively decomposed. The pure spiritual energy was gathered together and directly channeled into the array within.
After all, ever since the last battle against the high-level Death God Beast, the weaponry across the entire defense line had undergone further upgrades. It could be said that the technological power they now wielded had become immensely formidable, far beyond ordinary imagination.
Zhao Xingshu was slightly plump, and coupled with his naturally tall stature, he appeared exceptionally bulky. With his upturned nose and bell-like eyes, he naturally carried the fierce aura of a military general.
Walking behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, Yi Le's legs were trembling slightly. *Is she going to tie me to the bed?* He recalled that large bed with four iron chains and felt a strong urge to turn around and run.
"Easily done. As long as Elder Wan accomplishes what the Sect Master requested, that will be enough. Well, I won't linger here any longer; I shall take my leave now." With that, Huo Bing smiled and departed.
What caught the soldiers' attention was not Lu Qi and Ling Zun, but the unicorn beside Lu Qi. They had seen horses before, but never a horse with a single horn, and its body color was also quite extraordinary.
Nan Wuxiang understood in a flash. Wielding this sword inevitably consumed spiritual stones. Originally, when the sword was thrust atop Seven Mists Peak, an endless stream of spiritual energy supplied it, making its power naturally boundless. But once removed from Seven Mists Peak, the spiritual energy stored within the blade would be exhausted, rendering it virtually powerless.
This sounded rather bizarre, and Bai Su could not fully comprehend it. However, seeing that the other woman's expression was somewhat unsightly and she clearly had no wish to elaborate, Bai Su naturally found it inconvenient to press further and simply instructed the maidservant to fetch the medicinal soup.
Yet, just as Chiba and the others were rejoicing over their successful escape, right ahead at the exit of the passageway, the ground began to ripple abruptly.
Having lost her martial arts, she was no longer capable of scaling rooftops. If she lingered here much longer, she would likely be discovered by them.
Every time the school team went out to compete, there were at least eleven or twelve people, and sometimes fifteen or sixteen was nothing unusual. Yes, adding two more names was just a casual matter. Furthermore... this tournament couldn't possibly be finished in just a day or two.
Two *kamehameha* energy blasts flew outward, and almost the next instant, two more lit up in Broly's palms. One after another, the energy blasts rained down toward the Suppression Alliance like a machine gun.
Zhang Ziwei sat by the table with his back straight. No matter the situation, he always maintained an air of strict self-discipline; his actions were upright and honorable, exhibiting the absolute demeanor of a true gentleman.
It was just like how he clearly knew his mother had been wronged, yet he stubbornly defended the situation to this day, refusing even to clear his mother's name and allowing those servants to gossip behind her back. How could he possibly be considered an upright gentleman or be fit to serve as an honest magistrate?
Hanzou frowned slightly, realizing that it might indeed be difficult to capture Chiba and his group today.
Blue Sky and Caged Fighter led a group of people rushing over rapidly, everyone sporting a bright red name above their heads, with only the fatty missing from their ranks.
