Chapter 2670 The Awakened Monster
People in the Beidou world naturally chose the second option.
They sprang into action.
At the same time, more incentives have been introduced, such as tax exemption for those who stay until the end.
And I’m guaranteed to be able to get out.
So many people stayed.
…………
Another edge of the world.
At dusk in the Beidou Realm, the sky was dyed blood-like red.
The walls of a city inhabited by mortals appear more solemn and inviolable in this blood.
The Beidou Realm is boundless, the edge of an excellent world, which is almost equal to the edge planet of the entire galaxy.
Some places are like modern cities, and some places are like rural villages.
The leader of the plunderers, a strong man with a sinewy face, stood at the foot of the city.
His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
His men are a group of gangsters from another world.
Originally, they were confident that they could easily plunder this small town, but they did not expect to encounter strong resistance.
According to the diary left by our ancestors, we can come here to plunder once every hundred years.
Their time flows at different speeds.
Ten thousand years have passed here, and only a hundred years have passed there.
There is no comparative meaning between times in different worlds.
The result is great, but the experience of our ancestors no longer works.
On the city wall, the figures of soldiers are like sculptures.
Their eyes were cold, and the swords in their hands had been sheathed, but the blood on the blades had not dried yet.
There are also some soldiers holding staffs tightly, with determination on their faces that belies their age.
Another Sima, who joined the army, stood quietly aside, holding a map that had just been drawn in his hand, with the gangsters' retreat route and possible ambush points marked in detail.
"We lost." The leader of the raiders finally spoke, with a tremor in his voice, an emotion he had never felt before.
His men looked at each other, many of them already beginning to regret their actions.
The soldiers' voices came from the city wall, calm and powerful: "You did lose, but this is not the end, but a new beginning."
The gangsters were shocked by this statement.
They didn't understand what Wen Rensheng meant.
"You can choose to stay and become part of the Beidou world." The soldier continued, "Or, you can choose to leave, but please remember that this is no longer a place where you can plunder at will."
The gangsters began to whisper among themselves, and some of them began to waver.
Don't they know that prisoners are treated so well here?
Many of them were originally seduced by the leader's rhetoric.
They don't really want to be raiders.
Of course, they are not innocent. Once the robbery is successful, they will quickly and passionately fall in love with the operation.
Finally, at the suggestion of the soldiers, the gangsters chose to stay.
They were then assigned to various corners of the Beidou world and started a new life.
Some of them became farmers, some became craftsmen...
They are happy to come and live in such a big world.
Of course, they don't know yet about the world restarting.
No one will tell them that this is the price.
…………
Just like this, in many worlds in the void near Beidou Realm.
Wen Rensheng's reputation as a house of masters rose again.
Wen Rensheng was once again pushed to the forefront.
Of course this was exactly what he expected.
If you don't get attention, how can you get a steady stream of commissions?
What's more, with his current strength, there is no need to be low-key or to be conceited.
Because he already has the universe in mind.
It would be exaggerated for others, but it would be realistic for me.
This time the request for help came from a distant world.
The messenger who came from across the border drank five large glasses of water in Wen Rensheng's office.
Only then did he settle down.
If someone drinks a glass of water here, it is also holy water.
The messenger finally regained his consciousness and transformed from a giant octopus dancing around into a handsome boy with glasses.
He brought disturbing news.
"Dear sir, there is a powerful BOSS who has the power to destroy the world, but he disguises himself as a mortal and hides in our world."
"Once this BOSS awakens, the entire world will face catastrophe."
"We would like to offer the most precious gift in the world."
…………
In a quiet town in that world, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man named Li An lived.
His life is ordinary. His daily job is to organize books in the small town library and tell stories to children.
He has a gentle face and always smiles, giving people a sense of intimacy.
The residents of the town like Li An very much, and they have never doubted his true identity.
Although the other party suddenly appeared in the town five years ago, and when he appeared, he seemed to have lost his memory.
But the townspeople were friendly and rented the house to him when he came up with some gold.
Some of the more friendly townspeople wanted to visit his home in the evening, but were scared away by his dog.
Afterwards, someone remembered that there was no dog in the house.
Probably a wild dog.
Li An's home is a simple hut located on the edge of the town, surrounded by various flowers and plants.
He likes to sit in the garden in the afternoon sun with a book in his hand and read quietly.
There is a strange flower in his garden, which only blooms at night, emitting a faint blue light, beautiful and mysterious.
When working in the library, Li An always patiently answers children's questions, his voice is gentle and infectious.
His stories are always full of imagination, which makes children fascinated.
But no one knows that these stories hide the wisdom and power of the ancient world.
Li An himself does not know, he just casually tells the stories that occasionally appear in his mind.
And the children just imitate the protagonist of the story and shout:
"Look at my Lushan Shenglongba!"
His life is simple and regular. He goes to the market in the town every morning to buy fresh vegetables and fruits.
The vendors in the market all know him, they like to chat with him and share the trivialities of life. Li An always listens patiently and occasionally gives some suggestions. His suggestions are always so pertinent and convincing.
However, behind this ordinary life, Li An hides unknown secrets deep in his heart.
Whenever it was late at night, he would close his eyes, like sleepwalking, and walk into his garden alone. He stood in the center of the strange flowers, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
At that moment, a faint light would emanate from his body, and those lights and the blue light of the flowers would shine together, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.
In the eyes of the residents of the town, Li An was a perfect neighbor, a gentle librarian, and an amiable storyteller.
They never thought that this ordinary middle-aged man might be the boss who could destroy the world.
Until one day, he was discovered by an investigator by chance.
However, they could not arrest the other party.
Now the other party is still normal.
Once he is awakened, the world will be destroyed.
And it is the same reason that he cannot be expelled by various means.
In the Wanshiwu, after Wen Rensheng received this task, he took Xiao Huan and Zhao Han on a journey to that world.
The goal of the entrusted task is to find out the true identity of Li An and prevent him from waking up to protect the safety of that world.
The best thing is to send it away.
…………
Wen Rensheng, Xiao Huan and Zhao Han stood at the edge of the town, their eyes passed through the bustling market and fell on the simple hut.
Several investigators were looking at the three people.
They felt that the three people were too relaxed.
It was a bit like they were here to commission a tour, not to deal with a BOSS.
[Sure enough, the executors of the missions in the other world always have a way out, and they will not really exert their strength. ]
[Yes, they will not sacrifice their lives and always keep their strength as a way out. ]
Li Ang's secret weighed on the hearts of the investigators like a heavy stone.
They knew that this seemingly ordinary librarian was actually a potential disaster.
"You can't expose him directly, otherwise it may trigger his awakening." An investigator whispered.
He looked at the three people with worry in his eyes.
Wen Rensheng nodded slightly, and then handed the matter to Zhao Han and Xiao Huan to deal with, as well as the Soul Mirror.
He himself disappeared afterwards, actually standing above the town to enjoy the scenery.
Xiao Huan bit her lip, her little hand tightly grasping the staff that she had just dug out from the treasure house of Beidou Realm.
Dressed like a supporting role, her big eyes flashed with determination: "We have to find a way to make him expose himself."
Speaking seriously, the investigators did not realize that she was a mischievous girl.
When she started to make trouble, the whole world would become her playground.
So, the investigators invited a Tiger tank to suppress the wild boars that were making trouble at home.
Zhao Han unfolded the map in her hand, and her fingers slid gently on the map, as if looking for something: "I studied the history of this town and found that every full moon night, Li An would go to the ancient temple in the north of the town alone."
"Temple?" Xiao Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously, "That may be the source of his power, or the trigger point of his awakening."
Zhao Han's eyes lit up: "Very good, then we will act on the night of the full moon, set a trap, and let him walk in by himself."
Xiao Huan nodded, and a cunning flashed in her eyes: "We also need to prepare some special props, such as a spell that can suppress his power, or a potion that can make him temporarily lose his memory."
"Do you understand it well?" Zhao Han praised.
"This is how it is done in the game."
Good guy.
Several investigators turned pale when they heard it.
Who are these people?
Using game strategies to deal with real monsters?
Zhao Han pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, let's split up. Xiao Huan, you go prepare the spells and potions."
"Sister Mirror, you are responsible for investigating the secrets of the temple."
"And I will go to the library to find more clues about Li An."
As the plan was formulated, the two and the mirror began to make intensive preparations.
Xiao Huan was busy in her own secret workshop. She used special herbs and minerals to make a series of glittering spells and bottles of potions with strange aromas.
In fact, these things were made by just clicking the mouse.
Zhao Han was flipping through ancient documents in the town's archives. Her eyes quickly scanned the densely packed texts, looking for clues about the temple.
She found that there was an ancient seal in the temple, which was said to be able to lock up powerful forces.
The Soul Mirror was in the library. Its light moved slowly on the bookshelf and finally stopped on a tattered book.
This book records an ancient ritual that can awaken or suppress the power deep in a person's heart.
The full moon night finally arrived. The residents of the town were immersed in the joy of the festival. No one noticed that an action concerning the fate of the world was quietly unfolding in the north of the town.
The Soul Mirror, Xiao Huan and Zhao Han stood in the shadow of the temple, their eyes fixed on the path leading to the temple.
The moonlight was like a wash, illuminating everything clearly. They knew that Li An could appear at any time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, a figure appeared on the path. It was Li An, his steps were slow and firm.
In his hand, he held an ancient scroll that he found in the library.
Xiao Huan and the other two held their breath, their eyes fixed on Li An.
The moment Li An stepped into the temple, they immediately took action.
Xiao Huan pasted the talisman at the entrance of the temple, and Zhao Han sprinkled the potion around the temple.
Li An seemed to have noticed something, he stopped, looked up at the moonlight, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Just then, Zhao Han came out, and her voice echoed in the night sky: "Li An, you don't have to hide anymore."
Li An's face flashed a trace of surprise, and then relief.
He slowly put down the scroll in his hand, his voice calm and powerful: "I know that this day will come sooner or later."
Xiao Huan and the other two surrounded him.
The investigators followed closely.
They had already mobilized a large number of teams to surround the nearby area.
But they knew that this was a battle without gunpowder.
Because once they failed, the whole world would be gone.
In other words, either no movement or a big movement.
They must use wisdom and courage to protect this world.
Images flashed through Li An's mind.
Void, world, walking tentacles, countless eyeballs, big and small...
Countless fragments were mixed in his mind.
"He is going to wake up!" an investigator said in horror.
They looked at the three people without panic.
I saw Xiao Huan, the little girl, draw a few circles with her staff.
It was useless at first glance.
Li An's eyes were dizzy and he fainted directly.
Everyone looked at each other.
"This is his trick. Don't get close. If you get close, you will be absorbed by his dream!" Someone said quickly.
However, the mirror showed a picture, which was the scene of Li An sleeping.
"Okay, we took him away. In fact, he is a good person." Zhao Han smiled and comforted everyone.
"He didn't resist."
