Chapter 1447 Dragon Abyss
The blackout finally ended. When the first ray of light refracted from the building at dawn fell into people's eyes, the whole city cheered, as if a long nightmare had ended.
Rescue workers wearing bright yellow vests kept running around the city, and ambulances kept wailing. The whole city finally stopped in the monotonous busyness of the past. Many people took to the streets to see what seemed to have changed overnight. In a city where nothing seems to have changed, perhaps the only direct change that can be felt is the weather.
The clouds and haze that had shrouded this international metropolis in the past had somehow dissipated. The sky was too clear, and the sun shone directly on the ground, shining warmly on the people. Although the city only experienced a power outage and insignificant shaking, everyone inexplicably felt like they were surviving a disaster at this dawning moment.
They took to the streets to talk to each other, and unexpectedly discovered that this strange feeling was not an illusion that only they had, so they discussed the details of last night's earthquake and the blackout more enthusiastically. Various strange rumors and interesting stories are passed down orally, thus weaving another folk tale that can leave traces in history.
Only the real insiders are now being protected at the original location where the disaster was contained. All members of the orthodox logistics department are mobilized to inspect the impact of the Dragon King's resurgence throughout the city while controlling the participants in the battle last night. Statistics of injuries and any temporary medical treatment that may be needed.
On the ground that is swaying in the daytime, everything is developing in a vibrant direction, but in the invisible underground, there is still the scene of dimness and flickering lights all year round.
Under the Forbidden City, among the ancient secret passages and underground buildings, a woman was walking on foot in the long and winding corridor.
"Jörmungandr's traces can no longer be traced, and her traces can no longer be found in Kyushu. In addition to Lang Juxu's operators, there are many other hybrid witnesses at the scene. They are all witnesses. We need to use our orthodoxy to Is the invitation a reason to keep them temporarily?”
"No, no need. After all, the war didn't really break out. Let them leave. They should know what to say and what not to say. No one who can finally step into this battlefield is stupid."
"The noise Jormungandr made in the city. Almost half of the city could hear her roar."
"Just explain that it is the rumbling of the ground, an abnormal phenomenon during an earthquake. If we release some signs about this, experts from the Seismological Bureau will naturally endorse us. All other conditions can be pushed to natural phenomena as much as possible. As for the on-site Find those potential witnesses one by one and talk to them in the name of official condolences to see how much they saw. Then consider the unfolding of hypnosis work. Remember that the changed memories do not need to be unified. It is best to stick to their own opinions and trigger different disputes. This will lead to more ridiculous rumors.”
Li Qiuluo was walking alone on the staggered stone road in the underground palace corridors on both sides with everlasting lanterns. Only her footsteps and the sound of talking on the phone could be heard throughout the corridor. The shadow of the alone person was constantly dragged on the wall by the flames of the lamp.
"One more thing, Commander, we have found the heir of the Sima family." The voice on the phone said hesitantly.
Li Qiuluo paused for a moment, "Have you found Sima Xuxu?"
"Yes, but his condition doesn't seem to be very good. It's particularly bad, and it caused a lot of commotion in the area. He was discovered by enthusiastic people near the Apple Orchard on Line 1 of the subway station. He looked very ugly when he was found. It’s terrible, he’s covered in blood, he’s seriously injured, and what’s even more troublesome is that he’s carrying a body.”
"Whose body?" Li Qiuluo asked.
"Based on the DNA extracted by the logistics department staff who collected the body and the vague appearance comparison, it can be determined that the body is identified as officer Lang Juxu, Zhao Xinsheng."
Li Qiuluo was silent for a while, and finally said, "Cause of death?"
"There are a large number of puncture wounds caused by sharp objects, and almost one-third of the flesh and blood is missing. There is also excessive dragon transformation on the body. In the original words of the operator who collected the corpse: the consequences of rolling into the wood chipper are probably That’s it.”
"Where's Xuxu? What's his condition now?"
"A small amount of flesh and blood is missing, the chest is torn extensively, the outer wall of the heart is slightly traumatized, the bloodline is on the verge of losing control, and the internal organs are ruptured."
"Can you survive?" Li Qiuluo interrupted the injury report, which was like naming the dishes, and asked the most critical question directly.
"It should be possible. As soon as we found him, we transferred him to a medical facility managed by the family. The attending doctor retained by the Zhao family took over his care. The Sima family issued a death order to rescue him at all costs, but The attending doctor's reply was that with this kind of injury, no one can say whether he will survive in the end. Perhaps only Sima Xuxu can save himself, as long as he really has the consciousness to climb out of the abyss."
"Try your best and all resources can be allocated to medical care. This is what the family owes him." Li Qiuluo said something inexplicable, and the person on the other end of the phone wisely did not ask or try to understand this. The meaning of the sentence.
Li Qiuluo pondered for a moment and then said, "At the scene where Sima Xuxu was found, were there any other injured people found besides him? For example, 'Yue'?"
"Are you talking about Ms. Li Hueyue? I'm sorry. At the same time that Sima Xuxu was discovered, our people had already searched the surrounding environment and confirmed that there were no other identifiable objects except his and Miss Zhao Xinsheng's remains. "
"I understand. The remaining affairs will be handed over to Jiuzhou after they are sorted out. I have other things to do temporarily, so I will be out of contact for a long time. Any reports that need to be reviewed will be handed over to Jiuzhou. During my disconnection, Jiuzhou has the highest command authority."
"Yes." The person on the other end of the phone did not ask why Li Qiuluo, the commander-in-chief, was disconnected at this time. Until now, Li Qiuluo's voice is the highest orthodox voice. Now that the five clan leaders have died, the commander-in-chief has the highest command and interpretation rights. Now is wartime, and the wartime stage announced by "Yue" means that everyone does not need to ask why, just follow the orders of the highest commander.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiuluo also continued her pace, but this time she sped up a little, walked through the long underground corridor, and finally stopped at the end of the corridor. Unlike other corridors, the end of this passage is a dead end, with only a rough wall, which is incompatible with the surrounding brick walls and ground.
Li Qiuluo reached out and knocked on several locations on the wall. It was the orientation map of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the trajectory deduced from the Tui Bei Tu. The strength and duration of each knock had unchangeable rules. After completing all this, the rough wall did not open like a traditional secret room, but still stood there motionless.
Li Qiuluo stood there and looked at the lines gradually emerging on the rough wall. It was like a groove etched out. Mercury with a bright red color flowed out from the gap between the walls, gradually filling up those lines, forming a long dragon entrenched in the bottom of the abyss.
She stared at the blood silver flowing on the body of the long dragon until her vision began to reverse. The dragon swam on the wall as if it had come alive, and finally entrenched at the highest point and looked down at Li Qiuluo in front of the wall. Suddenly, it let out a roar that could not distinguish between illusion and reality, rushed out of the wall and swallowed Li Qiuluo in one bite.
The sight fell into darkness. Li Qiuluo did not panic, but stood there silently, silently counting down 99 numbers in the darkness, then closed her eyes and opened them again. Everything in front of her changed. She was no longer in a narrow and long corridor, but a dark and huge secret room with no exit and no light source. In the darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, one could faintly hear the sound of liquid flowing, which was pleasant but disturbing.
This is the bottom floor of the huge underground palace building under the Forbidden City. There is no known normal means to get here. Even the set of actions completed by Li Qiuluo has not been given a positive explanation so far, why people can be brought from the corridor into this space without an exit out of thin air.
There has never been a formal name here, because there are always only a few people who know that this place exists, and it will not increase or decrease. The five elders, the real decision-making level of the orthodox, did have scattered names for this place, but they were just temporary references. It seems that even the noble ones did not really have the power to name this place.
They once called this place [Longyuan].
The huge dark space, its boundaries cannot be observed, and its shape cannot be defined. It is hard to imagine that such a space exists underground. Even a natural hole cannot form such a huge space. It seems to be infinite. The mad roar and roar here, the infinite darkness and distance will easily swallow up all the tiny things you vent.
This place could not have been formed naturally, because this is a Nibelungen, and it is also the nest of a great creature.
That creature has been sleeping here for an unknown period of time, indifferent to everything in the outside world, isolated from the world. If it were not for a boring contract she signed for the influence of her redundant emotions, the orthodox would not be qualified to enter here. They would not even be qualified to know about this place.
Less than three seconds after Li Qiuluo entered this space, the owner here woke up, and then a sun lit up in the dark space. No, it was not the sun, nor the flame, but a pair of pupils, so huge, so bright, the overlapping halos made people feel that a ball of fire was pulled up from the ground - she was entrenched in the darkness, raising her huge head like a mountain peak, looking down at the ants on the ground that were as small as dust.
It turned out to be an ancient dragon, an ancient dragon that was more than a thousand years old, and had never experienced nirvana or died.
She has been alive since her birth. She hid herself and avoided all disputes. The dragon body has been shed and grown under the etching of countless years. Until now, the body is as majestic and huge as a real mountain. The slender neck is half-hanging in the darkness, just like a mountain range of a long snake lying on the ground, and every grain of dust on the body is a huge rock weighing tens of millions of tons falling.
Under the huge black shadow that covered the sky, Li Qiuluo raised her head in silence and awe, looking at her majestic body that was so majestic that it could be recorded in myths.
In front of her was the biggest secret of the orthodox, and also the biggest secret of the five major clan leaders, which was enough to continue the dynasty and clan for thousands of years.
