Chapter 1168: The Giant Bully!
Boom!
The impact force and all the external machinery around the Void Artifact turned into fragments. The entire research institute became half of a super-giant grenade under the destruction of the black dragon.
The reason why it is half is mainly because the power of the black dragon cannot be fully exposed at present.
In addition to the lethality of the fragments, part of the abyss power that was supposed to wreak havoc was taken back by the black dragon.
After all, doing so would easily result in adding a nail of divine punishment to one's head as a lethal decoration.
Of course, it could also be a flagpole on a grave.
But even if it was only half, the power of the explosion would be enough to kill all the researchers.
Even though the Void responded to the emergency measures immediately and grass-green elemental shields appeared on everyone's bodies, the relatively solid shields were still cut into pieces by the debris.
Some of those who were weaker in body even fell unconscious after the impact, and their skin and flesh were scraped off by the debris.
Some unlucky ones were even crushed by the fallen building materials. Even if they didn't faint immediately, they would pass out from the pain after having their hands or legs broken.
When Azar, the doctor and others arrived, what they saw was a scene very similar to one with corpses everywhere.
All he saw were people lying in all directions, and the main color was red. Hazard's heart trembled when he saw it.
“Help! Help!”
Everyone in the control center is a talent, not to mention that everything they are doing now is not allowed to be seen in public in Xumi.
Losing one person is heartbreaking enough, let alone this situation where the whole team is almost wiped out!
"I didn't find anything unusual around me. It doesn't look like a human invasion, unless the ability of the intruder is far greater than mine."
Guo Beng flew back with his hands folded : "There is not a single trace of additional elemental force. Apart from the possibility of their operating error, perhaps only a natural disaster can explain it."
But in the end, even he himself didn't believe that the country might collapse.
What the hell is a natural disaster? Their Demon Mecha will soon be unveiled and there won’t be any problem. How could they be punished by heaven for just drawing some intelligence?
Azar's eyes were red: "Really?"
Guo Beng sneered, relying on his high position in the air to look down at Hazard, his eyes as if he was looking at an ant.
"Are you questioning my judgment?"
"Just you?"
The doctor was too lazy to pay attention to the almost crazy Azar. He walked to the ruins and picked up a piece of debris that was not stained with any blood. A small light screen with a large amount of data streams flashed in front of his eyes.
"Well, there really is no trace, but this happens to be the biggest problem."
The Doctor looked at Azar and said, "What on earth have you done? Even if you run the void at maximum power, not to mention that there is a very sensitive sensing mechanism inside the void, the artifacts left by the gods cannot be so fragile."
Hazard's expression changed several times, and then he chose to tell the truth, and finally successfully received surprised looks from the doctor and Guo Beng.
A little translation -
How can there be such stupid people in the world?
"You are a piece of trash, yet you still want to manipulate the divine instrument to attack him?"
Guo Beng laughed so hard that he couldn't even maintain the style of painting. His belly laughter almost made Hazard faint.
"Okay, now we can more or less determine the identity of the murderer, but how did he do it?"
The doctor was puzzled. On the false curtain, the golden star was still shining. If you felt it carefully, you could feel healed by the golden light.
Very comfortable.
But this was a little too normal. On the way here, some people from the House of Religious Orders had already visited the Grand Bazaar.
The best friend was still enjoying the performance at the Zubair Theater in the Grand Bazaar. People who didn’t know might have thought that Gu Sanqiu had fallen in love with the famous dancer named Nilu.
There was nothing abnormal about the life star, and Gu Sanqiu didn't even move, but because of him, all the external machinery used to extract cognitive energy was destroyed.
Being too normal is the biggest abnormality.
"No, we can't let this dangerous person stay in Xumi any longer!"
Azar ordered his men to start the follow-up work as soon as possible: "I'm going to go over there and ask him to leave Xumi!"
The Doctor and Guo Beng narrowed their eyes at the same time and looked at Azar's departing figure thoughtfully.
The abnormal place was found.
This kind of mentality is not that of a great sage, but probably even inferior to that of ordinary people.
Normally speaking, is now the best time to continue to provoke others?
The worst is about right.
In other words, the power that Gu Sanqiu used this time was not the Destiny Star, nor the elemental force, but another type that they had never seen before?
The Doctor felt he had found the clue.
Guo Beng looked at the Doctor with a firm tone.
"If he says something careless, he will die, for sure."
"Of course, but I don't mean to go and watch the fun. Instead of believing that he can make his best friend leave Xumi, I'd rather believe that Tartaglia will no longer like fighting from now on."
…
At the Grand Bazaar, the explosion did not cause any particularly huge impact.
The main reason was that the distance was a bit far, and everyone present except Gu Sanqiu was an ordinary person, with at most a few people in the mercenary circle.
"That's really interesting. I want to see how you guys will deal with it."
Gu Sanqiu sat comfortably in the best seat to watch the performance. In the past, this seat was reserved for art lovers, but today Sheikh Zubair temporarily added a seat, and it was a seat with the best angle.
If Gu Sanqiu hadn't been so keen on monopolizing the place, he would be the only one here now.
The privileges of the financial sponsor were fully demonstrated, and even the people around him did not react, and even felt that it was necessary to do so.
Given the situation of the previous crew, if there is no strong financial injection to support them, it is a question of how long these artists can sustain themselves.
"People from the Order are here!"
A panicked figure ran over and said, "Everyone, the people from the Order are here, and the leader is the Great Sage Azar."
"Looking at his appearance, it seems like someone has provoked him. Everyone better be careful."
Sheikh Zubair frowned, but when he thought about the fact that he had already paid all the procedures and fees, and even renewed it for the longest year, he immediately felt relieved.
At least under the rigid conditions, Hazard couldn't do anything to them, and the rest were nothing more than some difficulties, which he had experienced a lot over the years.
I'm used to it.
"Xumeru is a country of wisdom, and Xumi City is the most rigorous place in such a country."
Hazard brought with him a group of people who were more like followers than subordinates.
"In this place where scholarship and wisdom coexist, there shouldn't be..."
"Wait."
Gu Sanqiu slapped the table, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Azar's eyes tightened. He had no intention of attacking Gu Sanqiu directly. He just wanted to use a roundabout way to make Gu Sanqiu lose interest in sightseeing.
Are you going to stop me?
"Mr. Gu Sanqiu, this is our Xumi..."
Gu Sanqiu moved Sheikh Zubair's hand away and looked at Azar with indifference.
"Who do you think you are to talk to me?"
Hazard:?
People around:?!
"I don't understand your..."
Gu Sanqiu walked forward, staring at Azar.
"I say, who do you think you are? Why do you speak in front of me?"
Azar's face was stiff: "I am the great sage of Xumi."
"None of my business."
Gu Sanqiu pointed a finger at Azar's chest and said, "Are you worthy enough to disturb me?"
"Would you like me to recall what I have done over the years? Of course, the price I paid included your life."
Azar was angry: "You are trying to sow discord between Xumi and Liyue!"
"Can you represent Xumi?"
Gu Sanqiu clapped his hands in surprise and said, "That's great. Let's start the battle tomorrow. I guarantee that the Qianyan Army will be able to take over the Huachenggu area within two days."
"The arrival at Port Omos may be a little slower, after all, it is still a bit far away."
Gu Sanqiu sneered instantly: "I can represent Liyue and go to war with Xumi, but I don't know if you have the courage to bear the cost."
"Although the debt with the false god was not that big, I still haven't settled it with you yet. How about we settle it all together in the war?"
Hazard:!
"I don't mean to declare war, but to remind you whether your words and actions are inappropriate!"
Go to war with Liyue?
No matter what the reasons and results are, once his position is lost, the plans of these years will be exposed!
"Is it inappropriate?"
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands and said, "I am just an ordinary tourist, and I am a tourist who entered Xumi for sightseeing after normal registration and reporting."
"From my strength, I am a model of law-abidingness."
"What I'm saying now is just a tourist's angry words to the local staff of Xumi because his good mood and interest were disturbed. It's just a thoughtless statement."
Gu Sanqiu smiled slightly: "Could it be that the great sage of Xumi doesn't even have this little tolerance? If so, your state of mind is worse than those staff members below who often have to deal with trivial conflicts."
"What do you think of this nobody?"
Hazard's face turned pale, knowing that he came out at the wrong time. In addition, the other party's words were also a "reminder" to him.
Gu Sanqiu did not hold any official position. From the perspective of normal social order, he was just an unemployed vagrant.
But this unemployed vagrant is able to bring together the power of all levels in Liyue and has extremely strong appeal!
He does not hold any official position, so he has no authority over Gu Sanqiu even if he makes a big fuss. That's the problem.
Azar had no reason to take any meaningful action against Gu Sanqiu. If a fight had to happen, it could only be attributed to a fight caused by personal vendetta or verbal dispute.
"So, is there anything else you want to say?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled gently: "In my life till now, I have basically thrown away everything that can and cannot be thrown away."
"If I were not too old, I could really be considered to have spent my whole life in the military ."
"Master, I have been a soldier all my life. Now I am enjoying myself. Is there anything wrong with watching some singing and dancing? I have to be disturbed for such a small request."
"Guess if I'm happy now."
Azar was completely frozen, and the sense of crisis that he had experienced from the Doctor not long ago resurfaced.
On the screen of the void terminal he was wearing, strings of red characters representing high risk kept flashing.
It's not that the Void Terminal is powerful enough to detect Gu Sanqiu's hidden murderous intent, but because the murderous aura has been completely exposed without reservation, like a tide that is about to drown Azar!
Azar was extremely panicked. He knew one thing very well: if he dared to say another word on his own initiative, he would be killed on the spot by Gu Sanqiu!
“Now, as a traveler, I want to enjoy my rest time.”
"Um?"
Azar was oppressed by the murderous aura, and an inexplicable black force in his body turned into a dragon pattern and completely dissipated.
At the same time, his head lowered inch by inch, and he nodded stiffly under Gu Sanqiu's control.
"Okay, okay."
"Sumeru is the kingdom of wisdom, and the art of singing and dancing is also a way to convey wisdom and knowledge..."
Hazard, who was forced to say this, was almost angry and committed suicide. This was completely different from the path he was pursuing!
How can these vulgar things deserve the word wisdom!
But with a monster standing next to him with murderous intentions, Hazard knew he could do nothing.
Hazard smiled at those around him, showing the friendly image of a man who was "angry but quickly adjusted himself", highlighting a friendly and harmonious attitude.
"Everyone, go ahead. We need to let foreign travelers know about our Xumi's elegance and hospitality."
"I won't bother you."
Azar and his men left the Grand Bazaar in embarrassment.
It was not until he arrived at the House of the Decrees that Azar, surrounded by many books, breathed a sigh of relief and was freed from the state of being shrouded in murderous aura.
So horrible!
If the doctor simply wanted to let them know what kind of monster a person with such combat power is, then that would be why he released the threat.
Then Gu Sanqiu is the butcher who does not conceal his malice and whose goal is to grind him to ashes and completely kill him!
"Great Sage, should we continue now? What the Liyue man did will undoubtedly slow down our plan."
"No, I can't!"
Azar screamed, then barely controlled his emotions, stretched out his trembling arms and shook them, his tone firm.
"Slow down the plan. Even if we have to extract his intelligence, we must avoid him. We are no match for him!"
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what Hazard had just experienced.
"I, I need to take a break."
Azar walked towards his office in a daze, and even his determination to create "Sumeru's own god" did not strengthen further.
After lighting the incense again and waiting for the fragrance to spread throughout the office, Hazard finally calmed down.
Azar, who was born in the Minglun School and could become a great sage, was not a fool. After he broke free from Gu Sanqiu's malice and murderous intent, in addition to the gratitude and fear for surviving the calamity, he also thought of many things.
Even if Xumi has its own gods, do they have the courage to fight against such terrible thugs?
If it were a real combat situation, would they be scared to death the first moment?
That is not an area that any of their sages have ever set foot on!
…
At the same time, the Grand Bazaar
Gu Sanqiu calmly sat back in his original seat and motioned to Sheikh Zubair, who was standing there in a daze, to pour him a glass of juice.
"Well, you have heard what the Great Sage said. He supports the existence of singing and dancing."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and nodded to Ni Lu on the stage in affirmation.
“Now, it’s actually very simple.”
It would be nice to reactivate this area that seems to have been paused. Liveliness and happiness will always dilute the anxiety.
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand.
"Then the music begins, and the dance continues."
