Chapter 345 Confirmation
Cheng Che has been in the West Region for two weeks.
According to the intelligence information given to him by Zhao Mingda, of the two rule fragments in the West Region, one was traded to Green Day by the Stuart family, and the other has been stored in Zijin, the central city of the West Region.
Therefore, Cheng Che did not set his destination in Xinlan. The fragment in Green Day's hand involved too complicated things, and it was inconvenient for him to find it.

But it was different in Zijin.
With the identity arranged by Zhao Mingda in the Central Government, Cheng Che easily gained a foothold in Zijin and confirmed that the rule fragment was still lying safely in the Grand Duke's house in Zijin.
Just when Cheng Che planned to settle down in this city first and wait for the biological man who had caused chaos in the East Region and the Central Government to come here to snatch the rule fragment, he found that the situation in the West Region was not optimistic.
After being silent for several years, Green Day has recently resumed its activities, and it is still a very serious action.
These people showed their greed for the chosen powers and cities in the West Region, and the real masters of the West Region, the dukes, were not to be outdone. They organized an alliance and prepared to unite to deal with Green Sun's actions.
Zijin is the garrison designated by the alliance. During this period, 8 grand dukes stayed in this city. They all knew Cheng Che's identity and asked him to help convey Green Sun's things to the central government, hoping that the central government would provide support.
Cheng Che certainly conveyed their demands truthfully, but he himself did not have any hope for the result.
Now the political struggle in the central government is in a white-hot stage. The director of the Kejie Institute died unexpectedly, which aroused a violent backlash from the conservatives, and the Republicans who controlled the Congress still had the upper hand.
Not to mention that Green Sun is just making some moves now, even if the East Region is in such a mess, many cities are obviously independent, and the central government has not sent anyone to deal with it.
These dukes in the West Region can only think of ways to unite against Green Sun's plan.
Since the establishment of the alliance in Zijin, the dukes in the alliance have continuously sent out some envoys with sufficient status and position to try to win over all the people they can to become their allies.
Just when the situation was getting more and more tense, this night, the eight dukes who stayed in Zijin suddenly held a meeting collectively, not knowing whether they had received important news.
And Cheng Che was also invited to attend this meeting because of his special status.
When Cheng Che came to the venue, the other eight dukes just sat down together.
From their faces, Cheng Che could not see any problems. Six of the eight people were like him, and they seemed a little puzzled by this sudden meeting.
Only the Grand Duke of Zijin Roland and Grand Duke Green of Iris, who were sitting in the main seat, had a dull look on their faces. Obviously, this meeting was organized by them.
Without any extra nonsense, as the host and the primary initiator of the alliance, Grand Duke Roland directly stated the purpose of summoning everyone.
"Duke Green's son, Sherlock Green, was sent to Newland a month ago to win over Grand Duke Stuart there, hoping to get him to join us and learn about the distress email sent from the Stuart family."
"And just now we got a message that Duke Stuart is dead."
As soon as these words came out, the whole venue was instantly shocked!
Except for Grand Duke Green, the other six dukes, including Cheng Che himself, couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Grand Duke Roland.
"Is this news true? Did Sherlock Green personally send it back?"
When someone asked this question, Grand Duke Green's face darkened.
He answered in a dull voice.
"The news is absolutely correct, and not only Duke Stuart died, but just half an hour ago, there was a battle at the level of the Chosen in Xinlan, and half of Xinlan was razed to the ground. Now the battle is over, and only one person survived, and then left Xinlan. The city is now controlled by my son."
"That means it's not just Duke Stuart who died, there's another Chosen!"
Such news obviously made everyone present a little unbelievable.
Killing a Chosen is not an easy task, especially in a 1-on-1 situation. From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of Chosen who have been killed in this situation!
And now, two of them died directly!
"Who did it!"
Unintentionally, this question came up in the minds of others, and some people asked it out loud.
Grand Duke Roland, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a serious face.
"According to the news passed on by our people in Xinlan, it is very likely that it was a man named Wu Wei."
"Wu Wei? From the East District?"
Hearing this strange name, everyone was at a loss. Obviously, they had never heard of such a name before.
Only Cheng Che, who was sitting at the end of the seat, could not help but shudder when he heard this name!
Wu Wei?
Wei
According to the rules he and Zhao Mingda had calculated in the Central Committee, the biological man who kept dying and coming back to life had a quirk.
He liked to add a "Wei" or homophone to his pseudonym.
From Zhao Wei of Zhulan, Vic of the Academy, Sun Wei and Zhou Wei of the Central Committee
Now, the person who appeared in Xinlan is called Wu Wei!
And Cheng Che clearly knew that among the two rule fragments in the West District, one of them was related to the Stuart family of Xinlan!
All these key evidences combined made Cheng Che 100% believe that this Wu Wei was the person in the Central and East Districts before!
His breathing subconsciously became heavier.
But the other people in the venue were also in shock that such a strange person could kill two chosen ones at once, and no one noticed Cheng Che's abnormality.
"The person is dead, what about the chosen authority? Where is the body of Duke Stuart?"
Grand Duke Roland shook his head.
"Our people went to see it as soon as possible, and the authority is gone."
"Who is this person named Wu Wei? Don't we have any information at all?"
Hearing someone raise this question, Grand Duke Roland couldn't help but look at Grand Duke Green.
Grand Duke Green, Sherlock's father, didn't look good. He took a deep breath and took the initiative to speak.
"He knows my son and they have a very good relationship. The murder of Duke Stuart should be a plan of the two of them working together."
At this point, Cheng Che couldn't help but look at him.
This is undoubtedly another extremely critical piece of evidence!
Vic Forrest, who committed such a heinous crime in the academy, originally entered the academy through the channels of the Western District. If you keep tracing it, it will eventually fall on this Grand Duke Green.
Now, Wu Wei and Sherlock have a good relationship, and everything can be explained!
Except for Cheng Che, the faces of other dukes who heard the news showed a surprise.
"Is it Sherlock's friend? That's better! With Sherlock's relationship, isn't he standing on our side?"
However, Grand Duke Green remained silent about this, and Grand Duke Roland's expression was a little embarrassed. After coughing twice, he still explained on his behalf.
"You all should know that Sherlock has a straightforward personality. He doesn't agree with some of our practices, so he didn't tell us any information about his friend. Even if we asked someone to find him, he refused in person and didn't mean to help us make a connection."
The atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became cold again. The expressions on the faces of the dukes who heard the news were somewhat dissatisfied, but because of the presence of Grand Duke Green, they didn't say much.
Just when the scene became a little quiet, a secretary suddenly rushed into the venue, which made the dukes, who were already in a bad mood, look up at him.
The secretary gritted his teeth and walked quickly to Grand Duke Roland under this pressure, whispering something in his ear.
But others could clearly see that after hearing the news, Grand Duke Roland's expression was very wonderful.
A kind of complexity and wonderfulness that cannot be concealed even if you want to.
After the secretaries left, it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.
Glancing at everyone in the venue, he suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Cheng, Miss Orisa just said that she wants to continue to ask you about some piano skills, but I don't know if you have time now?"
Cheng Che understood instantly, he stood up from the chair very tactfully, and nodded with a smile.
"It is obviously more interesting to discuss piano skills than to sit here for a meeting. In this case, I'm sorry I can't accompany you here. Goodbye, everyone."
He nodded to several dukes respectively, and then turned around and left the venue.
After walking out of the door, Cheng Che no longer concealed his excitement. He took a deep breath and clearly understood that his choice was not wrong!
It's right to come to the West District!
The man who deceived the whole world really came here!
It's just that he didn't choose the city of Zijin at the beginning, but set his sights on the rule fragment that the Xinlan Stuart family had at the beginning.
But Cheng Che was not in a hurry.
He had no intention of chasing that person and leaving his footprints. He would wait here. As long as that person's purpose had not changed, he wanted to collect all the fragments of rules, and he would wait here sooner or later!
And in the meeting after Cheng Che left.
All the other dukes looked at Grand Duke Roland.
Grand Duke Roland's expression was still so complicated. He obviously did not hide his inner thoughts at all, but he could not let people see what he was thinking at all.
Until he finally spoke.
"My secretary told me that a few minutes ago, someone from Green Day contacted us."
In the deep intercity tunnel, the "rumbling" speeding train kept passing through such a void and chaotic environment.
Levi stood on the roof of the train. Because his body was still in contact with the surface of the train, he was still tolerated by the rules of the train and was not affected by the dead land.
Although he had died once in such an environment before, Levi was still curious about the void space without any rules.
According to the information he had learned, the reason why the rules of the cities where humans live can be maintained, in addition to the chosen ones who master the core of each rule, the continuous emergence of new scientists every year is also an extremely important condition.
The more people who master the rules of nature, the more stable the rules of the underground city will be. At the same time, the train, as an extension of the city, can attach the rules of the city to form a private space similar to the Stuart family safe room, providing a living environment for humans.
And the tunnels connecting these cities are said to be designed and developed by Tianen Company.
It is precisely because of this that Tianen Company has such a status beyond the conventional capital consortium. This company itself is not inferior to the existence of the five central institutes at the beginning. After mastering the operation rights of the intercity tunnels, it has spawned scientists and politicians such as the Republican Party today.
Levi studied outside the train for a while and then returned to the car.
This trip is undoubtedly his most convenient and comfortable one. In addition to the team driving the vehicle, there is only Levi as a passenger on the entire train.
It will not stop in any city in the middle, but go directly to the abandoned city at the westernmost end of the Western District.
Up to now, it has been the ninth day since Levi came out of Xinlan. According to the time calculated by the conductor for him, they will reach their destination today.
Sure enough, Levi didn't have to wait long before the windows around the carriage lit up faintly from the gray.
And outside the space of the train, Levi finally felt the existence of the rules of the vast space.
But whether it was gravity, weather or biology, the feedback those rules gave Levi was quite subtle and fragile, just like a newborn baby.
The train finally stopped in front of a dilapidated old platform, and there was no one here.
As one of the abandoned cities that had been developed, it was normal for no one to live here, because this place was not suitable for normal people to live in.
After Levi got off the train, he could clearly feel the moist sea breeze blowing on his face.
The train responsible for sending him here naturally also had the task of taking him away, but they would not leave the car at the platform, but retreat to the tunnel, waiting for Levi's call.
According to the time agreed by Levi to them, if they did not find them within 5 days, they could return on their own.
After watching the train slowly start again and retreat into the tunnel, Levi also began to look at the city seriously.
The station was built on the edge of a steep cliff. If the train continued to move forward, the only possible ending would be falling off the broken rails.
Below the cliff was an endless black ocean!
