Chapter 1847
Time flies and a few days have passed.
After dealing with Li Gui, Gu Zheng had already prepared those people after learning the route Li Gui had taken. Everything would be clear in a few hours at the place where Li Gui went to work.
Outside, the patrol team did not find any suspicious traces. Even if they expanded the patrol range according to Gu Zheng's intention, they did not find anything, and there was not much change from before.
Gu Zheng knew that under this calm, there was an upcoming chaos.
"I always feel something is wrong. I feel like I missed something. How could the other party have such a flawed plan."
In the small house at the back, Gu Zheng thought about the information he had inquired about, and said to Yan Yufei with some melancholy.
After the ambush, Gu Zheng went to Dongcheng to inquire about some information and asked the patrol team for some information.
The more information he had, the more confident he was. However, after careful analysis, he became more confused and felt that something was wrong.
Those demon souls are powerful but only cause trouble, and then create some harm that is not painful, which has continued to this day. It is not that there are no demon souls who want to sneak in.
However, no matter whether the opponent sneaks in with his body, lurks in someone else, or even changes into the opponent's appearance, as long as he enters the range of the lonely peak, he will die alive in less than half a day.
All this is the influence of the lonely peak, and no one has ever seen what it looks like inside.
There are various statements, and the only certainty is that since the first batch of humans and demons appeared here, this lonely peak has existed. Under the extradition of the first few powerful people, all those wandering outside were pulled here to establish a small country until now.
When it grew stronger, it also attracted the attention of the demon souls. They wanted to eliminate them, but they were already powerful and directly blocked the attack of the opponent's army.
Even if the leader of the opponent came in person, he was blocked here.
Of course, they were able to stop the other side, not because their strength was similar to that of the other side, but because most of the demon souls had at least dropped a level in strength after leaving their area, and their strength slowed down as time went by, so they could barely gain a foothold in this place.
Otherwise, with the huge and fearless army of demon souls, they would have been razed to the ground by the other side long ago.
And some time ago, when Gu Zheng was blocking the other side from coming up, the army below was also blocking the other side, otherwise the pressure from above would have been even greater.
These information were filtered repeatedly in his mind, but he still couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong in his heart, as if a pair of hands had covered his eyes and he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, so he couldn't help but speak.
"From the news you have learned, there must be no problem. The other side wants to use car skills to sneak into the outer layer and cause some damage, at least much more than before, but from another perspective? In fact, you are just trapped in it. As long as you jump out of this circle, you can see through it."
Yan Yufei has been following Gu Zheng, and he also knows what the other side knows, so he naturally understands what's wrong with him now.
"Jump out?"
"If you are a demon soul, why do you spend so many years doing thankless things? Is it just to cause greater damage?"
"No matter how serious the damage is, it doesn't matter. Even if the four cities are destroyed, they can be rebuilt at any time. The foundation of all this is Gufeng. The official city they established is just to better serve Gufeng."
Gu Zheng said, his eyes, which were a little blurry, gradually brightened up. In the end, he suddenly remembered the other party's idea. Even if it was a little bold, if it was, the impact would be no less than a huge disaster.
"No matter what, take precautions. When the time comes, you hide aside and observe carefully. I will turn Xiao An and Shen Qing over and listen to your orders."
The scale of the other party will definitely not be large. Just these people are enough.
But before that, it is still necessary to contact the front. Without their permission, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
In the small house left in Xicheng before, Li Gui was still anxious and a little scared as before, looking outside a little restlessly.
In a few hours, it will be his turn to work.
Although it is not so strict, he must enter within two hours of the specified time, otherwise he will be expelled directly.
But at this time, he thought of Gu Zheng's arrangement for him. Even if he pretended on the surface, he could still see his fear from the details.
He was afraid that the other party would find out that he had been instigated. It would not be terrible if he died, but his father would be implicated. He was also afraid that the other party would not find out and make the other party create something that was difficult to recover. At that time, he might not be able to escape responsibility.
In this torment, he could not sit there calmly at all. He could only walk around anxiously. The other party had not come yet. If it was late, he might not have enough time. He had to go back and report to activate the aura on his body, otherwise he could not enter.
Just when he was anxious, the door outside was suddenly opened, and it was the big man before.
"You are here. If you don't come, I will leave." Li Gui complained.
"Some things have been delayed. Are you in any trouble?" The big man said casually.
In fact, except for the other party going home, which is hard to watch from my side, the rest of the other party's actions are clear. Even the worries in the other party's heart can be seen clearly. This is normal. If the other party is close and nothing happens, on the contrary They will doubt each other.
"What's the trouble? Whatever you do, don't involve me. I can only be responsible for taking you there. As for whether you can get in or not, that's not my business." Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said again.
"Of course, I don't want you to lose everything. By the way, when you go to report, take this thing with you." The big man came in, closed the door, and then took out a small wooden box, only half the size of a palm.
"You won't hurt me, right? When I report, the other party will check me." Li Gui's face suddenly changed and he said quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurting you. I'll wait for you halfway after you come out. Just give it to me. Then everything will be as usual. Don't forget the others. Leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late." The big man comforted.
"Well, don't be too tight with me."
Li Gui put away the box, walked to the door, took a deep breath, then opened the door and walked out.
Li Gui, who was walking in a hurry, finally completed the report before the time limit. The wooden box on his body did not cause him any trouble. After activating the identification on his body, as usual, he followed the familiar road, seemingly peaceful. Heading in the familiar direction as usual.
But when he was about to leave Nancheng, he saw the big man waving his hand to him in front and hid in the next room.
Li Gui hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.
But as soon as he entered, he realized that something was wrong. His face was completely pale, his whole body was trembling, and he wanted to leave here instantly.
But as soon as he turned around, he found that the door was firmly held down. It was none other than the big man who guided him over.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The big man said gently.
"But, but." Li Gui took a breath and continued, "You actually brought the demon soul here. You are dead. Don't involve me."
At this moment, he felt that he was dead. There was at least a room full of demon souls in the room, all of them were wearing black robes, but their eyes were exposed.
Not those servant demon souls, but the real elite demon souls, each of whom exudes an aura that scares them.
He even felt that if the opponent stretched out a finger, he could crush him to death.
"Don't worry, you just need to sleep and everything else will be left to me."
The big man behind him smiled slightly, and then slashed the back of Li Gui's neck like lightning. Li Gui lay down limply.
A demon soul behind had red eyes and took a step forward, but was stopped by the big man.
"The other party has a mark on his body. If he is dead, the people in the government will be able to detect it immediately. Just tie the other party here."
The big man took out the small wooden box from Li Gui's arms and opened it directly with joy in his eyes. Wisps of black mist slowly floated out from it, and then turned into more than a dozen wisps and disappeared into the demon souls inside.
Then all the demon souls turned into a wisp of black energy, and then were swallowed by the big man.
"Thank you, lucky guy. I'll give you an extra gift, which is the complete destruction of this place. I hope you won't thank me."
The big man tied up Li Gui so that he wouldn't be able to wake up for at least a few days. By that time, the mission had been completed long ago.
Then the big man's body changed strangely, and finally became exactly the same as Li Gui. Then he muttered to himself a few times, adjusted his voice to be the same as the other person's, and then smiled. People who are familiar with him will find that even the details are the same.
Then he put away his expression, imitated the other person and walked out of here, and then hurriedly walked towards the path he originally wanted to take.
At this moment, no matter from any aspect of his aura, he is Li Gui, and he even carries the recognition after the report. Only in this way can he walk in safely.
Just as he was walking that way, many of the originally open passages began to be closed one after another. The external reason was due to renovations.
Others who took over had to walk a little longer and pass through other nearby passages.
Because this kind of thing happened before, basically every hundred years would check it out, and there would be people guiding us along the way. We didn’t have any doubts, we just sped up the pace.
The only difference was that there were patrol members standing on both sides of the passage, staring closely at the people walking past.
During this period of time, the war was tense in the front, and it was also tense in the back. However, it was very rare for members of the patrol to stay here.
However, on rare occasions, they only took a curious look, at most they discussed it quietly with someone they knew, and then walked onto that special passage.
The entire passage is like a bridge, surrounded by black air as black as ink, forming a circle around the lonely peak. These passages are holes drilled in it to let these people pass.
As soon as you enter, there is probably only one way to go inside, and it is like streams converging and eventually converging in four directions.
But now there is no one at all in the East City and West City. Even if there are places left, they are closed. The number of people in the North City is quite small. It can be said that the South City is a huge venue and the place with the largest number of people.
Li Gui followed the established route and found that the road was blocked. He thought that if he didn't repair it sooner or later, he would repair it later. But at this time, it would take at least a few days. They couldn't wait any longer.
Although he didn't know other roads, it was always right to follow the people around him.
However, when he saw the nearest patrol, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't retreat at this time. Once he left and didn't go in at the specified time, someone would definitely check.
More importantly, he needed to complete his mission, which was to cause trouble for them.
He was ready to be discovered at any time, and once the other party took action, he would immediately wreak havoc.
The two patrol members guarding outside didn't know why, but they were sent here and stared at the outside fiercely. They suspected that the demon soul had a new special ability to disguise them from being discovered, and their biggest role was to quickly suppress it once something happened.
Li Gui's face was still calm, and even his body was very relaxed as usual. He looked at them strangely like the people next to him, and even said a few words to the people next to him, discussing each other.
Approaching step by step, he could feel the other party's eyes constantly sweeping over him, as if he could see through him, almost making him burst out.
"How did the other party know the news?"
Looking at the other party's alert look, it seems that there is a channel to know their ambush this time, and even grasp the specific time of their side.
"Could it be Li Gui?"
Except for the other party, this side has not contacted anyone else from beginning to end. Perhaps these people have hidden surveillance that they don't know about, or perhaps the wooden box has been discovered. It is obvious that these people's guards are in a hurry, as if they came here temporarily.
Of course, it may also be that other companions have been exposed, which has attracted the other party's emergency prevention.
And he is just a small team, and others may have other ways to get through.
But now, he can only continue to move forward like this. When he came, he had already made a complete plan not to go back, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
And this side would never have thought that he had planned so much time in advance, even if the other party knew now, it would be too late.
Both sides have premeditated, waiting for so long, just to completely defeat this entangled little bug today.
While thinking, he has passed the guard next to him and walked into the passage.
He felt relieved, knowing that he had passed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The opponent's move was good, and he was afraid that his companions would really reveal their feet.
As soon as his thoughts fell, a huge explosion sounded in the distance. It seemed that one of his companions really didn't see that this was the opponent's strategy of frightening the bird, exposing it, but it would be better to let the opponent attract a wave first.
As the crowd slowly moved forward, soon the figures in front of them disappeared on the bridge surface. As long as they passed through the gray barrier in front, they could reach the periphery of the lonely peak.
Without the identification on their bodies, they could not pass through the barrier in front of them. When they left, they also needed to activate the identification on their bodies to get out of it.
As his figure slowly sank into the barrier in front of him, he appeared outside the next moment.
But his good mood ended there, because there were patrol members standing in a row in front of him.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time!" Shen An looked at Li Gui in front of him and smiled crookedly.
Two teams of twenty people had been waiting for him here for a long time, but the other civilians who came in did not appear here. Obviously, this was a premeditated ambush.
Before he could regret making trouble outside, Li Gui's figure flashed, and countless black air fell from his body, turning into demon souls with extraordinary auras on the ground, and he himself turned back into his original appearance, still the appearance of that big man, and was very conspicuous among this group of demon souls.
No matter what strange shape these demon souls have, they are all wisps of black air below the waist, only the upper body is intact, and all of them look at Shen An and the others with red eyes.
"Hard scum, it seems that as Master Gu said, the other party has mastered some ways to sneak in. If it weren't for the reminder of the master, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous." Shen Qing looked at the dozen demon souls in front of him, and his face became solemn.
I didn't expect the other party to have so many people, and there was no ordinary demon soul. I'm afraid this is the most elite team of the other party. No wonder they let two teams garrison here.
"What are you waiting for? This is our territory, can we still let the other party be arrogant?" Shen An laughed, not caring about the other party at all.
In the barrier behind him, the reinforcements that had been prepared long ago came out one by one. In a blink of an eye, there was another team member here, which was more numerous than these demon souls and was even stronger.
Except for one team member outside, all the teams had surrounded this side and were fully prepared.
"Go!"
Xiao An drew out his standard weapon, which was a black long sword. The blade was not even sharp. It looked a bit bulky and had no fancy, but it was the best weapon to deal with demon souls.
Don't underestimate this weapon. It uses the soul stone as the basis and adds a mysterious thing to the lonely peak. As long as you hit the opponent's fatal point with one blow, you can severely injure the opponent.
Even if the opponent is not fatal, a few knives can make the opponent's figure become illusory and fall into a weak state.
This is their ultimate killer, but unfortunately there are very few of them. In the past, only a few people were equipped with it, but now everyone has one.
The only drawback is that, under normal circumstances, after more than a dozen slashes, this weapon will collapse due to excessive consumption and cannot be used repeatedly.
But it is enough to deal with these people.
How could these demon souls not know the power of this weapon? Seeing this, their impulses were reduced. In the backhand, small shields floated on their bodies. These shields were specially designed to block the opponent's weapons.
In the battles over the years, both sides knew each other well, and of course understood their own strengths and weaknesses.
At this time, the members of Shen Qing's three teams had completely surrounded the opponent. Behind the opponent was a barrier, which meant that they had no way to retreat.
It was impossible to escape.
All the demon souls on the big man's side also looked solemn, but the aura on their bodies became stronger and stronger. It seemed that they were ready for a desperate battle.
