Chapter Eight The Oath
"Huh?" Xi Ziyue's brain short-circuited.
Embrace?
Xi Ziyue didn't know what it specifically meant for a while.
It should be referring to the time when she inadvertently hugged Elizabeth Yin and Greer in the Chairman's office.
Now that I think about it, my move was quite abrupt and a bit embarrassing.
In this world line, she has not established a bond with anyone. Whether it is Lisa Yin or Greer, they are just strangers to her, and the relationship is far from harmonious enough to embrace.
But emotions are like this. The moment they are in place, all rationality can be thrown away, so Xi Ziyue hugged the other party, but strangely the other party did not refuse.
"You... want to be hugged?" Xi Ziyue quickly brought her thoughts back to this issue.
Emma, this girl is astonishing as ever!
For example, when Jörmungandar said something snarky about your first night, this girl said "not here" in a second, which really made people stupid on the spot.
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything." Ling sighed and turned his body to the side, "I'm not familiar with you. If you really hug me, I will be very disgusting."
This... turns out you also know how disgusting...
"Go to sleep and don't talk anymore tonight."
Just like that, no big movement came from the big velvet bed, only the sound of even breathing flowed.
Xi Ziyue had no choice but to lie down seriously and try not to pay attention to the little episode just now.
This was her first night in this world line, and she felt like so many things had happened that she couldn't even count them in a short while.
If the time spent in coma and sleeping were subtracted, the battle in which she transformed into a three-in-one Dragon King and killed the White King only happened within twenty-four hours, literally as if it was yesterday.
I have to admit that she is getting farther and farther away from the orbit of normal life, and closer and closer to the orbit of destiny. She is almost approaching the end at the speed of a satellite.
"Lu Mingze, are you there?" She spoke into the night in a voice that was inaudible.
No one responded to her, and the flat voice didn't sound, which was quite disappointing.
The last time Lu Mingze showed his face was in the City of Whales. His parting words were "I'm ready for your way forward." When he said these words, he was quite confident and unrestrained, as if everything that followed was entirely planned by him.
among.
It is similar to the phrase "I will wait for you at the end of the journey" that Lu Mingfei entrusted to himself through Chen Motong.
Then this guy completely disappeared, as if he had been saved and became a Buddha.
However, Xi Ziyue always had the feeling that when he left at the last moment, the most critical part of his memory had been completely restored. He could pretend to be mysterious, but he could not pretend to be relieved.
The feeling Lu Mingze gave people at the last moment was not unfathomable, but a real sense of relief.
As a result, he still showed no sign of showing up, which made Xi Ziyue very depressed.
Could this contract end like this? Just like the day when the magical pet finally bids farewell to the magical girl and returns to the Magic Kingdom?
He should appear again, right? At some unexpected critical moment, he will click out at the critical moment?
Xi Ziyue didn't want to think about these things anymore and just wanted to sleep seriously.
Word Spirit Spring, she read out this auxiliary word spirit with almost the lowest serial number. Its effects are very mixed, and improving sleep quality is one of them.
In her sleep, she gradually recalled more things from the past...
...
In the original timeline, the hazy sky did not improve much.
With the fall of the King of Oceans and Water, the temperature of the world has risen a lot, but it is still at a low level, and climate chaos also occurs from time to time. This shows that the elements have not returned to normal indexes and are still in a state of chaos.
The international situation shows no signs of improving, and is still full of turmoil and unrest. The secret party is trying its best to mediate among them, and even discloses the secrets of the Dragon Clan, trying to shape external enemies to unite the internal ones, but it does not work in a short time.
The disaster has only been delayed, not ended, and the Twilight of the Gods continues.
Bondarev walked through the complex underground structure, and many technicians in white followed his steps closely.
There was only one person following Bondarev who was not a technician, Henkel. He was wearing a funeral black dress and his crutches made a ringing sound on the metal floor tiles.
He was Bondarev's collaborator.
In other words, he is a collaborator of the great King of Sky and Wind. There are not a few hybrid leaders like him. Everyone wants to crawl at the feet of the Dragon King. This is not shameful.
War is like this, people can decide when it starts, but they cannot decide when it ends. It doesn't matter if the King of Ocean and Water falls, the King of Sky and Wind is still there, and he can also promise generous rewards.
"It's unbelievable that you still retain so much strength." Henkel looked at this sizable underground space, "Didn't you use all your strength in the initial battle?"
"Do I still have so much strength?" Bondarev shook his head, "Compared to the peak period, I am not worth mentioning now, whether it is my power or my personal strength."
"You at your peak? Do you mean the past timeline?" the old man asked.
"Of course, I have been operating there for thousands of years, and my power has penetrated into every aspect of human society. As long as I awaken the memories of those servants as a monarch, the order of the human world will disintegrate like sand." Bondaree
The husband said, there is no trace of pride.
"But here, fate has not prepared a large army for me. I can only rely on my only strength to challenge the world."
"So, you, the arrogant one, are actually just the defeated in the past." The old man's voice did not fluctuate much.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the truth. After all, I... still cannot reach the throne of the Black King, nor can I withstand the offensive of the Legion of Heroes." A cold and sharp look emerged from the corner of Bondarev's eyes.
"Even if you had the whole world in your pocket at that time, you still couldn't find the egg or the burial ground of Black King Nidhogg?"
"This is the power of the father. Its eggs are not hidden in any corner of the world, but in any corner of time. Moreover, it will prepare false eggs as substitutes. Just when you think you have killed
When the arrogant Black King can devour its genes, bones and blood, there is actually nothing inside, just an empty shell." Bondarev said.
"Even if it is an empty shell, it is part of Nidhogg's power. Killing it still requires a high price. When I killed that thing, but there was no reward, I realized what my father really hid.
The place of death is not in this world."
"That miss frustrated me for a long time. It meant that my father's wisdom was superior to our entire family from the beginning, and no one could touch its hiding place except itself... or with him.
It has a very high status.”
"And this timeline hides its real burial place."
Bondarev stopped because the road had come to an end.
The space suddenly opened up directly in front of him. Cold metal surrounded this huge space, and hundreds of scientific and technological workers were working.
This is a rocket launch silo. The rocket stands like a giant in the silo, with its arrow pointing straight into the sky.
The moon shines at its top like a dazzling pearl.
"Get ready to set sail and accept the legacy my father left me." Bondarev whispered.
...
Japan, Atami, Kuroishi Mansion.
Mai Shutoku and Su Enxi are sorting out intelligence from all directions.
A large number of documents were scattered across the tatami, reducing this antique Japanese living room to a dormitory for female college students before exams.
Nowadays, even if the level of news about the coup in the White House and the Kremlin is no longer in their eyes, they might as well care about what Xi Ziyue's friends are doing, especially Eriki and Charlotte, both of whom have
Xiziyue's brand.
It is reported that the head of the Uesugi family has been doing well recently. Small things like the chaos in the world are not worth her concern at all. What really makes her distressed and even sad is that the game and animation industries have all been shut down. She can only silently let go of the old stuff.
Due to being suppressed by high-level commandments for a long time in Leviathan's belly, her bloodline seemed to have undergone subtle changes. When she returned to the outside world, she was able to speak normally, and the source of the family was very happy about this.
But when she used her soft voice, which was as soft as Saori's, and vividly recounted her glorious deeds as a maid in a golf shop under the landlady of Jormungandr, Mr. Minamoto almost fainted again.
She also gained the right to come and go freely, but when she saw the closed shop doors on the street, she quickly lost motivation and found a park swing to sit on for a long time before returning home.
In summary, life is uneventful.
Over in Kassel, Charlotte's life was also uneventful.
Due to Xi Ziyue's current sensitive status and Zero's delay in returning to the academy, Charlotte was naturally elected as the biggest contributor to the success of the crusade against the ocean and water, and once again received a lot of medals and honors. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the Kaxun Sect.
The Lion Heart Club is planning to erect a bronze statue in her honor and write an autobiography. Can’t write an autobiography? It doesn’t matter, just find a gunman to write it for her.
Apart from that, there is nothing special about her. Her daily routine is to hold meetings with the elders, occasionally visit the equipment department, or go to the greenhouse on the back hill of the student union and sit alone at the table.
Throughout the day, it seemed as if those who played mahjong with her would come back soon.
"Now, it's completely deadlocked. No one is doing anything serious." Mai Shutoku slowly lay down on the documents on the floor, her long hair spread out like a chicken coop.
The current situation of these two people is just a microcosm of the world. They are confused and at a loss. Maybe the enemy has gone far, maybe they will attack tomorrow.
"Yes, my stocks have also reached a deadlock and have been locked up for almost a month." Su Enxi complained while browsing the file information, "I seriously doubt that my money has been confiscated by the United States and used for military expenses.
"
"Enxi, do you feel so weak that whatever we do next may be useless?" Mai Shutoku said, looking at the ceiling.
"You want to be lazy? If you want to be lazy, you can just say it. There is no need to say it so euphemistically. Who among us is following who - wait? What did you call me? Enxi?"
Su Enxi came back to her senses and was shocked: "Go away! You, stay away! You used to just call me maid or potato chip girl, but suddenly you are so gentle to me, you must have other motives!"
Mai Shutoku's forehead veins bulged: "It's rare that I have the sudden urge to call you something other than a nickname, but you have this attitude? Besides, if I really want to play with a woman, I won't play with someone like you who has neither breasts nor an ass."
stuff."
As if she had been stabbed in a sore spot and had no good way to deal with it for a long time, Su Enxi simply pretended to be cold and hehe, pretending that she had won the argument.
"I also feel that it will be useless for us to do anything next." Su Enxi also lay down next to Jiude Mai, and the two of them were lazing together as if they were sunbathing on the beach.
"The boss ordered us to collect information, but he did not specify the focus. This is not like the boss's style."
"Yes, if it were a boss under normal circumstances, he would definitely not let us do such inefficient things. Instead, he would ask us to relax and unwind in order to maintain a good state." Su Enxi affirmed.
"Don't play the chess that is not easy to play, and leave it to the opponent to move first. If you insist on making a chess move, it only means that the boss is not in a good state." Mai Shutoku said.
"Maybe there's a big problem with my mood." Su Enxi said fearfully.
The two people's eyes coincidentally focused on the door at the end of the corridor, where the boss was.
There are still zero.
After Mai Shutoku left first that day, I thought Zero would follow soon, but she never showed up.
She didn't report back to Kassel, and she was no different from missing in the past few days.
It wasn't until this morning that she appeared tiredly at the door of Kuroishi's mansion, which made Mai Shutoku feel very unsure.
When asked what she had been doing these days, her answer was to relax.
Mai Shutoku felt even more unsure.
Soon Ling was interviewed by her boss behind closed doors, and she seemed to have been prepared for this. The interview between the two has continued until now.
"Do you think the boss will eat Her Royal Highness alive?" Su Enxi vaguely felt that the boss was angry.
"Probably not, that's his favorite assistant. At most, he will be chopped up alive and not eaten alive." Maidoku said calmly.
"Wow! I suddenly look forward to what is happening in the room!" Su Enxi's eyes lit up, "So, the princess is the one responsible for swallowing it alive, right?"
"But I can't say for sure..." Mai Shutoku recalled the look in Zero's eyes. In addition to fatigue, there was also a great decision hidden in it.
That's not a sign of good things.
In the large living room, Zero always stood behind the boss, as if in a cold war.
"It was you who saved Xi Ziyue, right?" the boss asked in a low voice, as if he even lowered his eyes.
Zero nodded.
"Why do you do this? Because she is your friend?"
"This is just one of the reasons. The other reason is that you violated the oath between us." Zero clutched his arm tightly.
"oath?"
"You said that we will not abandon each other or betray each other along the way until the end of death."
"Yes, this is indeed our oath, and I still stick to it until now." The boss stared into Zero's eyes.
Chapter completed!
