Chapter 182 Shadows in the Sun (12)

"Is it worth it?" the female card master said in a low voice.

Gu Jingwei spread his hands and looked at his palms, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes:

"Don't say any more useless words, go ahead and tell the association what happened. The next location of Styx's attack has basically been determined -"

"Chongming City...? You are so brave!" the female card master said coldly.

"Most likely, yes, but I don't know what its purpose is in seeking death." Gu Jingwei said calmly.

"Okay, I will inform the association of this matter as soon as possible. When I call someone over, you can first see how many hidden Styx creatures have entered the city limits."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you." Gu Jingwei gently wiped the sword in his hand, the cold light in his eyes becoming more and more rampant.

Styx is still getting stronger... what a troublesome bunch of guys.

Gu Jingwei scratched his hair irritably.

Already starting to get angry.

Just... how did these guys get in?

A golden pattern with the tip of a sword pointing downward appeared in Gu Jingwei's eyes. With a slight push of his feet, he jumped to the high building. With the help of others, he came down directly to the top of the Chongming TV Tower.

Climbing high and looking far, through special eye skills, Gu Jingwei's sight can see more distant areas at a glance, and he can even see the network of mysterious runes that are constantly flowing over Chongming City.

That is one of the most important functions that humans can use to ensure the continuation of their own race...the city's automatic defense network driven by the power of the legendary card master.

"That's weird, I haven't seen it before~" Gu Jingwei looked back and forth, but he never saw the problem with the city's automatic defense network.

"Isn't it because there is a defect in the automatic defense network?" Gu Jingwei murmured, feeling an uneasiness spreading in his heart.

If it weren't for this reason, the situation would be a bit troublesome.

There is someone behind the scenes who is adding fuel to the fire, and it is more likely that these guys were let in with malicious intent.

Who could it be?

Those evil card masters who have gone crazy are loyally surrounding them?

Some lives in the foggy areas that have long been hidden in the city?

A traitor from another country who has malicious intentions towards the world and wants to instigate others to destroy the city through conspiracy and intrigue?

Or... the staff of the headquarters who have been instigated to rebel?

Thinking of this, he only felt that the haze in his eyes became heavier.

No one knows better than him how fast the Styx itself is growing. After all, his soul is in a very special state because it has been polluted by the Styx, and he can vaguely feel the source of the pollution.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of that child...

"Guan Muge, is it because of you? It shouldn't be. You didn't participate in that experiment. No matter what, you shouldn't be the target of Styx's attack."

He couldn't help but think of his friends, who were Guan Muge's parents and the actual participants in the experiment commissioned by the association.

Back then, he originally decided to fight in the River Styx until his life was exhausted, but he was forced out by the half-human and half-corpse couple.

Gu Jingwei didn't know much about the specific situation. He just heard that the Huanyu Card Master Research Institute had a rather secretive project at that time, and it was specially placed in Tiannan City, where not many people paid attention to it, for research and development.

According to the two friends who were trying their best to take Gu Jingwei out of the control of the Styx at the time, they underestimated the growth rate of the Styx itself and the dangers of the Styx itself, which ultimately led to the research projects being done by the association because of the Styx. The invasion failed.

He once dragged his injured body to ask them what kind of experiment could lead to an active attack in the foggy zone.

But even though their minds were already polluted, the couple made it clear that they could not tell him about the experimental project.

He vaguely remembered that when facing his two friends, he said seriously:

"Laoguan, Sister Yin, if you want me to help you complete the follow-up of the experiment, at least let me know what you are doing.

I need to confirm based on your words whether the actions you are going to take next will endanger the security of the universe. "

But Lao Guan shook his head and refused, and just said lightly: "Lao Gu, if I tell you, there will be no way to continue the experiment. You... are still too weak."

Then Lao Gu's wife, Xue Canyin, sighed and said, "I know you are panicking, but I really can't talk about this matter, but you can ask two people if the news is reliable."

"Who?" I didn't think much about it at that time and just opened my mouth and said.

"The president of the Chongming City Card Masters Association and the former president of the Huanyu Card Masters Association who has resigned, they are all people who know the inside story of Tiannan City."

"Then what do you need me to do?" Gu Jingwei thought about it and for the time being believed that what these two people said was true.

After Lao Guan heard what he said, he put a faint smile on his face and whispered:

"I will give you a list of the main members of our research team later. Take this list and contact the "Tianhe Dragon King" who is a close friend of the president of the Tiannan City Association, the "Earth Dragon Lion" who is also a member of the Scarlet Diamond Rank."

"Then what?"

"Use the channel of 'Earth Dragon Lion' to contact the former president who has retired, give him the list on hand, and tell him the conversation between you and us. The association will know about it. How to do it.

Then……"

"Um?"

"The person you asked to find will use his authority to hand over to you the appearance and information of all the 'dead people' on the list.

The next time you meet someone on the list, whether it's other old friends you haven't met or me, try to glean information from us.

When necessary, if any of us dregs want to stay in the city, no matter how they beg you, Lao Gu, kill them. "

"Including you?" Gu Jingwei said in a low voice.

"Including us!" the couple said without hesitation, "this is a necessary sacrifice."

Xue Canyin's face, which had become as stiff as a corpse, made a firm voice:

"Gu Jingwei, given my husband and I's situation, when we are about to lose consciousness completely, we will definitely want to see my children. At that time, no matter what we say, please do not show mercy and kill us. us!"

…

"Kill you~?" Gu Jingwei, who came back to his senses, looked at the grand scene of the city covered by the sun, and for a moment he felt that the wind was getting stronger at high places.

The sun is just right, but wherever the sun goes, there are shadows.

No one knows what conspiracies are hidden in the mottled shadows cast by tall buildings.

It's just that many times, he himself can't see clearly...
