Inside The Black Mist Chapter 746: Rumours abound
Sky Fort.
It is night, and the sky is exceptionally clear tonight. The stars are dotted in the night, and the bright moon is round like a silver plate, reflecting on the sea surface, reflecting pieces of silvery white scales.
In a bar in the upper city, military recorder Cheng Xin walked to the long bar counter, sat down on the high chair, tapped the table, and said in a tired voice : "Ping, same old."
The bartender named A Ping nodded with a smile, took out three small glasses, put ice cubes in them, poured amber liquid into the glasses, and finally pushed them to Cheng Xin's hand.
"Brother Xin, I haven't been here for a few days. Are you busy recently?" Putting down the wine bottle, the bartender wiped the glass.
Cheng Xin drank these three glasses of ice wine in one breath, as if he had just come back to life, shook his head and took out his cigarette and said, "Don't mention it, I've been so busy recently, almost every three days for a meeting, every two days for a small meeting Yes, just sorting out the meeting documents will kill me."
"You should apply for one or two assistants from above." The bartender cast a sympathetic look, and then thought, I earn less than others, so why bother.
Cheng Xin took a puff of cigarette and complained: "You think I don't want to, I have already applied for it so many times, but nothing happened. Let me see, I will have to go to the medical center and lie down in a short time."
The bartender laughed, and another customer asked for a drink, so he walked away.
As soon as the bartender left, before Cheng Xin finished his cigarette, someone sat down next to him. Cheng Xin glanced at him and frowned.
This is a man, middle-aged, bald, with blue eye bags, and a strong alcohol smell on his body, as if he has been soaked in a wine tank for many years. He held a cup in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, and said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng, tell me quickly, is that true?"
Cheng Xin moved a little away, smoked a cigarette and said, "Lao Wan, drink less alcohol, you will die in this thing sooner or later."
The man named Lao Wan said indifferently: "You don't understand this, a man, either dies in a wine tank or dies in a woman's belly, this is the happiest thing."
"Don't talk nonsense with me, you haven't answered the question I just asked."
Cheng Xin prevaricated: "How do I know what you are talking about."
"Just pretend to be confused with me. It's not like you don't know what kind of business I am in. Let me pretend to be confused, right?"
Old Wan poured wine into his glass: "Okay, I'll tell you clearly. Have we dug a grave for Qingtianbao?"
Cheng Xin shivered, and covered Lao Wan's mouth with one hand: "You don't want to die, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, be careful that the iron wall will catch you."
Old Wan took off his hand and said indifferently: "Tiebi has been busy for the past few days and has no time to talk to me. Judging by your reaction, it seems to be true. This expedition is really aimed at that The so-called 'grave'?"
Cheng Xin felt a big headache, and he didn't know what was going on recently. There was a sudden news in the fort that the expedition to the fort was to dig a 'grave'.
Moreover, the explanation about the 'grave' quickly spread throughout the streets, and many people now know that the so-called 'grave' is a place where the 'devil's treasure' is hidden.
Gold diggers are the most sensitive and passionate about this topic. Thanks to them, the news is now common knowledge.
"Nonsense!" Cheng Xin lowered his voice and said, "You have the nerve to say that you are a news dealer, and you even believe such unproven news?"
"I have meetings every day, how come I don't know about this matter, this is clearly a rumor fabricated by someone with malicious intentions, the purpose is to push our fortress to the cusp of the storm!"
Old Wan laughed: "Really? I thought that I could receive some valuable information from you. It seems that I was overthinking it."
Cheng Xin knocked on the table, asked the bartender to pour himself another glass of wine, and said, "Restrain yourself recently, Tiebi is investigating this matter, don't say I didn't remind you."
After drinking the wine, Cheng Xin checked out and left. After leaving the bar, he sighed.
Because of his status as a recorder, he has been harassed a lot outside the past few days, and those people want to get relevant information from him. Because of this, Cheng Xin didn't dare to go home these days. There were a lot of people staying downstairs in the house these days.
Depressedly, he got into the magnetic energy car and drove the car towards the military headquarters, where he has almost been living recently.
The next day, Cheng Xin yawned and sorted out the unfinished work yesterday, found the record files, extracted and entered the important contents, and then sent them to the public information databases of various departments.
Before his **** was warmed up, an icon flickered in the lower left corner of the screen, which was a signal for him to go to the command hall.
We are going to have a meeting again!
Cheng Xin let out a groan and almost smashed the screen, but he didn't dare. There were so many eyes watching in the office, and he had to be cowardly when he should be cowardly, so he quickly packed up his recording tools , smiled and went to the command hall.
Come to the hall, Cheng Xin saw some officers. They come from the Department of Strategy, from the Iron Wall, and from the two systems of Storm and Nightcrawler. Others are officials of the administrative department of the fortress.
Basically, all the middle-level officials in Sky Fort have arrived, and they are discussing quietly, not knowing what the purpose of this meeting is.
Cheng Xin has an intuition that today's meeting will not be easy.
Sure enough, not long after, City Lord Yuan Shu walked in with the Minister of Strategy, Commander Iron Wall, and Commander Nightcrawler.
The audience was silent.
After Yuan Shu took his seat, he smiled, cleared his throat and said, "I think everyone knows that there have been a lot of gossip in our fort recently."
"Originally, I didn't really want to pay attention to it. There is a saying in Inverse Realm that rumors stop with the wise. I believe they will subside one day, but now, I find that even inside our fortress Voices of doubt started to appear, and it made me realize that it was necessary to come forward and clarify."
Yuan Shu looked around, looking at the officials from various systems and departments: "Yes, we did organize an expedition. But the purpose of this expedition is definitely not as rumored, it is to What kind of 'grave' is being dug, for what non-existent 'devil's treasure'!"
"The purpose of the expedition is to explore the reverse world, and to learn more about the world next to us. To pave the way for future development, I don't hope that when our soldiers participating in the expedition are When working hard to do this, they have to be misunderstood, and even have to bear a bad name."
"I will never allow this!"
"Take this opportunity today, I hope everyone understands that we are only doing a right and necessary thing, nothing more."
As soon as the voice fell, someone hurried into the command hall. It was a woman, in her late thirties, with outstanding appearance, and her whole body exuded a capable aura.
Cheng Xin recognized that she was the deputy of the city lord.
She quickly came to Yuan Shu's side, whispered a few words, the city lord's expression changed slightly, and then nodded slightly.
Yuan Shu stood up and said to Cao Gang, "I still have something to do. You will preside over the next meeting."
Cao Gang nodded, stood up, and watched Yuan Shu leave.
Out of the command hall, Yuan Shu hurried to his office. On the way, he said in a deep voice, "Is this true?"
His deputy, a woman named Chanel, replied: "It has been confirmed, it is indeed a communication signal within the Golden Chamber. The person who contacted us is Lin Jianping, one of the five standing committee members of the Chamber."
Yuan Shu stopped in astonishment: "Is it the court affairs? Besides, is it Lin Jianping?"
He couldn't help but be surprised.
The Golden Tribunal has five members of the Standing Committee, who are usually in charge of important affairs of the court. The identities of these five members of the Standing Committee are by no means simple, either the city lord of a certain super fortress, or the holy seat of the church.
This Lin Jianping is the lord of the super fortress Guanghuibao!
Leaving aside his identity, Lin Jianping's rank 10 combat power is enough to hold the position of standing committee member.
There are rumors that he has reached the threshold of the ultimate, and may become the third ultimate in this millennium!
Knowing it was him, Yuan Shu didn't dare to neglect, returned to the office, closed the door, and stood in front of a screen.
In the standby mode, Yuan Shu tapped on the desktop, activated a CD, and entered commands on it.
The screen changed, and a figure appeared in it.
The man was standing too far away, he couldn't see his face clearly, only a straight figure was seen. Just one image put a lot of pressure on Yuan Shu.
He coughed dryly, with a smile on his face, hehe said: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin, one of the five permanent members of the court, to call our little fortress in person. Yuan is really honored."
The one in the picture took two steps forward, but he still couldn't see his face clearly. He heard a burst of hearty laughter: "City Lord Yuan is too modest. Let Sky Castle have what it is today."
"City Lord Yuan has contributed a lot."
Yuan Shu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Lin has won the award. Compared with Mr. Lin, Yuan's achievements are not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
The two exchanged a few polite words. Although he is the Lord of Glory Castle and a figure with all-powerful combat power, Lin Jianping didn't give people a sense of aloofness other than some pressure.
At this time, Lin Jianping said with a smile: "Recently, I heard that you Sky Fort organized an expedition, intending to conduct an in-depth exploration of No. 127 Reverse Realm."
"The court has received some news, claiming that the purpose of your castle's expedition is to find the 'grave', to find the 'twilight slab' that may exist in any of the reverse worlds...."
Yuan Shu's face changed slightly, and his breathing was three points heavier than before.
The Golden Tribunal actually received the news?
Who did it? Not only made rumors on the fortress, but also secretly sent news to the Golden Court!
"There is indeed such a thing about the expedition. But I haven't even heard of the 'grave' or the 'twilight slate'. This is a rumor made by someone who wants to attack our Sky Castle!"
Yuan Shuzheng said indignantly that until now, he can only deny it to the end.
