Old Youling nodded and said, “Someone must have accidentally found, discovered, or moved the Dragon Chapters, but this matter alone may not have anything to do with you, it was perhaps by accident, or by other intentions. But I can’t say for sure, because there is another possibility.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “Because of me?”
Old Youling said cautiously, “If the Dragon Chapters was not discovered by someone accidentally, then it must be kept in someone’s hands, and the appearance of you made this person feel great danger, probably even more dangerous than the consequence of the cracked heavens, so he must use the Dragon Chapters to deal with you or kill you!”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said: “Your inference is based on the assumption that the Dragon Chapters are related to the Soldiers of the netherworlds. Therefore, you must first prove that there is a relationship between the two.”
Old Youling smiled and said: “It’s very simple. The old woman said that the Soldiers of the netherworld would cross the border once every thousand years. If you assume that the Dragon Chapters will also appear once every thousand years, using a semi-mythological explanation, it will probably absorb some power to repair heavens. You have also seen that when the soldiers of the netherworld crossed the border, the coffin sucked away a lot of green fluorescent particles from the dead.
I have been reading the history of mankind in the past two days. If we disregard the three hundred years and check the events that happened in the past seven hundred years. From the 13th to 14th centuries AD, humans have been dying in large numbers all over the planet, it was either the plagues like Black Death or constant wars. So those coffins must be full of those green fluorescent particles!”
Chu Yunsheng nodded slowly, feeling that its analysis make sense, but as if he suddenly seemed to remember something, he shook his head again and again: “Impossible, the soldiers of the netherworld is just a Chinese saying, what the old lady and her father said is full of Chinese legends, what does it have to do with the things that happened in other countries? It doesn’t make any sense!”
Old Youling said with a bitter face, “Boss, this is why I said that the earth is a very ominous and creepy place.”
It is indeed very creepy and ominous, and this kind of feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
If Old Youling’s judgment was correct, then who was holding the Dragon Chapters and using the soldiers of the netherworld to deal with him?
It was unlikely to be No.1 that old man. He would not wait until now if he had that thing. It also didn’t look like Realm Messenger Ge. She was from the same system as crystal-dressed beings, which had something to do with the Maya civilization in the Americas. It seemed to have nothing to do with the Dragon Chapters. And he was familiar with the five elemental races, so it was certainly not them.
Who could it be?
There were some things that Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to disclose to Old Youling, but he knew those things clearly in his heart.
The real world outside the Pseudo-Monolith may really have Dragon Chapters because he seemed to have heard the name somewhere. But before he entered Pseudo-Monolith, he had never had a conflict with Dragon Chapters.
This reminded him of another two things. The first one was that since the darkness outside the Pseudo-Monolith still happened, it meant that the heavens outside also cracked, and the Dragon Chapters outside also failed to repair heavens, which meant something must have happened to the Dragon Chapters outside, although he didn’t know what happened to it, it was very unlikely that it had something to do with him because even after he became the most powerful man in the world outside the Pseudo-Monolith, no one seemed to have used the Dragon Chapters to deal with him. The second one was that in the Pseudo-Monolith, he became “famous” ahead of time, and the people who should have died according to memory have not yet died. Could this mean that the person who had the dragon chapters was amongst those people?.
If this was the case then this person must have gotten to know him in the Pseudo-Monolith, and there had been no interaction between them outside the Pseudo-Monolith. However, this person firmly believed that his existence was more harmful than the consequences of the cracked heavens. This was the key to solve all the puzzles!
Is it the old man Yi Jing?
Such a thought flashed in Chu Yunsheng’s mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he thought it was.
First of all, Old man Yi Jing would rather ruin his image and kill him on the spot in a military gathering. This showed that he believed that he was extremely “dangerous”. Secondly, the identity of the old man Yi Jing was very strange.
It must be him, even if he didn’t have the dragon chapters, it must be related to him!
And, in this sense, his master, the white-dressed swordsman must also be related to this.
“I need to see Song Zihuai, you continue your study of history!”
Chu Yunsheng simply said, and hurriedly left. Regarding the information about old man Yi Jing, only the people like Song Zihuai who were in high positions were familiar with it the most. Fang Yuehou and Fang Baixiao were currently busy outside restructuring the military. In the entire scientific research base, it only left with Song Zihuai he could talk to.
Old Youling wanted to complain: physics explanation, weapon development, and history study. Boss, you know that I am also very tired. However, whenever it thought of Chu Yunsheng’s cold glare, it would stop itself from complaining.
******
Song Zihuai’s office was on the seventh floor below the ground. It used to be a lounge for scientific research personnel. It has been temporarily remodeled recently, so some of the original appearances of the lounge have been retained.
His room was also very dark, with only a faint desk lamp. When Chu Yunsheng knocked on the door and entered under the guidance of the staff, he could only see a smoky shadow sitting behind the desk.
“You are finally here.” The shadow turned around and said calmly with a deep voice, seemingly containing a kind of calm power.
“I would need to see you eventually.” Chu Yunsheng took off his mask and said without any expression. The secretary poured him a cup of tea, and then he casually sat on the sofa.
“Although I have read your information, I still didn’t expect you to be so young.” Song Zihuai walked out of the shadows. His steps were not loud, but each step was very steady, inadvertently revealing the temperament of someone who has been a leader for a very long time.
“I hope my enemies can think like you.” Chu Yunsheng had also been the most powerful man in the world for a while, so naturally, his temperament would not lose to Song Zihuai, but he was still a little surprised. He and his daughter were really alike. He had already been disfigured to this extent, one said that she could still recognize him, and the other said that he could see that he was young, which was really strange.
“Young does not mean a lack of strength.” Song Zihuai smiled faintly and sat down on the sofa next to Chu Yunsheng. His words were concise and short, which affirmed Chu Yunsheng’s strength and pointed out that Chu Yunsheng’s enemies were also thinking this way.
Chu Yunsheng raised his head and glanced at him. The man was around forty years old, his ordinary face was no different from other ordinary common people. His eyes were not as sharp as what other people said, nor were they alarmingly emotionless. They looked plain and clam. However, such people were the real “dangerous” people. This was also the reason why most people who had power would have an emotionless face.
This was the first time that they met each other, but they have been indirectly contacted each other for a while now, so at the moment, it was just like two “unfamiliar” netizens meet each other offline, both felt a little awkward.
Normally, it was very unlikely for Song Zihuai to feel this way, but what Chu Yunsheng did was really shocking. With just the fight he did one week ago alone, it had completely shattered his worldview. A person who could survive such a devastating siege, a person who could flatten the battlefield with a single sword and completely turn the tide of the battle was beyond the scope of human beings, so he could not help but be shocked.
And the reason why Chu Yunsheng would feel awkward was mainly because of the thing he did to Su Su that night. Although he was her ex-husband, it still made him feel awkward…
“How is Yingying?” Song Zihuai broke the awkward atmosphere first. With a natural tone, he expressed his concern for his daughter.
“She is fine, and after some time, she should be able to recover fully.”
“I only have one daughter, so she is very spoiled. I’m sorry that she has caused you a lot of trouble.” Song Zihuai handed Chu Yunsheng a cigarette.
“Don’t worry, this is the last time. She will not get involved in this.” Chu Yunsheng took the cigarette and said something that seemed irrelevant, but it showed that he and Song Ying did not have the relationship as people outside imagined.
Song Zihuai just smiled, and then both of them started to smoke cigarettes silently. After a while, Song Zihuai said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect your aunt’s family.”
Chu Yunsheng said indifferently: “I already know what happened. You couldn’t resist the order directly issued by the capital at the time. I can’t blame you. I am not an unreasonable man. Besides, they won’t do anything to them. They just want me to go to the north. In fact, even if they don’t do this, I will take people to the north after a while. Those who will need to be killed will be killed.”
Song Zihuai frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Are you going to attack the north?”
“Are you afraid?” Chu Yunsheng asked sharply. He understood what Song Zihuai meant. The darkness had just fallen for less than a month, and the prestige of the capital was still there. Even if some people had some ambitions, the people below would not dare to mess around.
This was a country, not a company.
