Chapter 163 Plague
Terra Calendar 1590.1.2.
Fog City Stock Exchange·VIP Room.
An old gentleman in a tuxedo and a mask was respectfully reporting something to a young man with blond hair and golden eyes sitting on the sofa in front of him, drinking hot coffee. At the feet of the blond young man was a man lying on his stomach. A large white-haired dog.
"Mr. Abraham, the total value of the 16 stocks you purchased since April last year is now 2.46 million, and because you hold a large number of Flan Railway shares, you are still legally Lanzhou Railway Co., Ltd. is the eighth shareholder of the company.”
"Also, the construction document for the Wudu Railway that you submitted in June has been approved earlier. Now the [Ouroboros Railway] in Wudu is expected to be successfully completed this year."
In After the old gentleman finished his report, the blond young man also finished the coffee in his hand. The old gentleman had been observing the expression of the wealthy "master" in front of him. He found that the handsome and graceful face of the other party did not change due to the increase in wealth. And there was every trace of joy.
"Can I ask you something?" Xia Xiu put down the beautifully crafted cup in his hand, and then fixed his gaze on the masks on the faces of the stock exchange staff.
"Only I can answer, and I will tell you everything." The old gentleman replied respectfully.
Xia Xiu’s index finger and thumb on his left hand began to turn the ring on his right index finger as usual. He squinted his golden eyes and asked the old gentleman:
"I just came back to Fog City from the Stockholm area the day before yesterday. When I came back, I found that the streets outside were deserted. Even if I met people, they all wore masks. Is there any serious epidemic in Fog City?"
< br>Hearing Xia Xiu’s question, the old gentleman’s expression became sad unconsciously. He replied to Xia Xiu:
“It’s strange to say that Florence is located in the interior of Youyang. Suddenly a terrible plague occurred, which spread throughout Youyang at an extremely fast speed. Even the foggy capital of the Brotalia Islands and Dublin in the northwest were quickly affected by the plague. "
"The infected man and woman initially had a tumor between their groins or under their armpits, and then it grew bigger and bigger, like a small apple or an egg. That size.”
“Most people call this tumor a “cancer.” Once you get it, it doesn’t take long for this death-like “cancer” to spread from those two parts to all parts of the human body. After that, the symptoms changed again, and black spots or purple spots appeared on the patient's arms, legs, and other parts of the body. Sometimes they were sparse and large, sometimes they were thin and dense. ”
"Now that lockdown regulations have been issued in various places, it is strange that you, the guest, can return to the Fog City from the Stockholm area. After all, most people are staying at home and dare not come out."
After listening to the old man Xia Xiu frowned slightly at the gentleman's words. The symptoms sounded very much like the Black Death, but he remembered that [the Central Health Bureau] had the antigens of the Black Death, and the Black Death vaccine was still available to all people.
This whole people not only refers to Youyang, but also includes countries or regions such as Daeva, Oletin, Edici Federation, and Wahak region.
The Black Death vaccine was developed by the health team of the [Central Containment Room] in Heaven and released for free. There are rumors that the Black Death was caused by the [Ether Monarch Naige] who is known as the loving father. The promulgated MEM virus code.
To solve this viral codex, it is not only necessary to physically solve it, but also to conceptually dismantle it.
The current plague is most likely related to "Dragon Slayer".
Sure enough, in the first performance of "Dragon Slayer", due to his earlier intervention, the holder of the white card did not die. Now the plague is probably related to the evil dragon.
"How serious is the epidemic situation now?" Xia Xiu continued to ask the old gentleman.
“Thousands of people are falling ill every day. And because they lack proper medical treatment and have no one to care for them, almost all of them die; no matter whether it is day or night, there are always many people dying of the epidemic. , many people died at home. It was not until the body rotted and smelled that the neighbors knew that he was dead. "
"In the beginning, there were corpses everywhere, and people who were alive nearby were not afraid of death. They asked the coolies to help carry the corpse out. Faced with this situation, the Wudu City Government could only send those bird-beaked doctors to carry the corpses into the car, and then transport them to the crematorium for cremation. Now the crematorium is open all day long. Someone is queuing up to be cremated..."
The more the old gentleman talked, the more sad his face became. This sudden epidemic took away tens of thousands of lives in just one month.
After listening to the old gentleman's words at this moment, Xia Xiu's expression became more solemn than ever.
The Kingdom of Heaven cannot directly interfere with the "Encore Performance" held by the [Crimson King]. The impact of a direct head-on conflict with the Supreme Divinity is extremely huge.
Whether it is Eden or the members of the 13th Resolution Assembly, they are always concerned about the overall interests of mankind. The consequences of a direct war with the [Crimson King] are not something that the Kingdom of Heaven can bear. .
Faced with this sudden plague, there is only one thing that the Kingdom of Heaven and the Youyang Alliance can do, and that is to try to contain the spread of the plague as much as possible while "keeping in line with the plot".
Xia Xiu slowly stood up from his seat. He said to the old gentleman:
"Please invest the one million in my account into the construction of the [Ouroboros Railway] of the railway company. I I hope they can complete it before April.”
“I understand.”
After explaining to the stock exchange staff, Xia Xiu left the Wudu Stock Exchange. Walking on the sparsely populated streets: On the walls of houses one after another, and on the walls of blocks after blocks, large black and scary Terra characters representing "epidemic" appeared.
"What a twisted ARad field..."
Xia Xiu's spirituality could detect the twisted and decayed evil energy and twisted particles around him. They were like black dust floating towards him, but he didn't care at all.
When the black particles came into contact with Xia Xiuzhi, the [Manifest Projection] star located in the [Ether Ocean] burst out with intense light and heat, and these particles that came into contact with him were directly burned up. .
“It’s nothing to a second-stage thaumaturge, but for ordinary people or less powerful thaumaturges, this thing is quite deadly.” Xia Xiu looked around. murmured.
After confirming the situation of the epidemic, Xia Xiu returned to his temporary residence.
On the sofa in the living room, Xia Xiu looked seriously at the yellow card in his hand.
[You are in the play "Dragon Slayer"——]
[Characters]
[Red card: Evil Dragon (He will sweep the entire Youyang with blood and hatred!) ]
[White card: Knight (where is the dragon-slaying knight?)]
[Yellow card:? ? ? ]
【Act 1】
【Scene 1: The Destined Dragon Slayer】
【Through me, enter the miserable country;
Through me, enter eternity The pain;
Through me, enter the suffering people;]
[The dragon slayer will save the suffering people from the epidemic! ]
[Your current camp: None. 】
Looking at the yellow card in his hand, the blond young man’s eyes became profound, and he slowly said:
“Select the camp——”
【 What camp did you choose? 】"White Card·Savior."
【Faction binding completed! 】
【Your genealogy connection is currently blocked! 】
Sissi——
Xia Xiu’s left and right hands were corroded at the same time. He raised his hands. He could feel that the connection between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Sarkic lineage had been blocked. This means that you can only use the [entries], [modules] and [word spirits] burned into your own body.
And if Xia Xiu wants to perform thaumaturgy other than the above three, then he can only recite cumbersome incantations like the thaumaturgy masters of the Glory Era before the Terra Era, coupled with the ability to shape complex thaumaturgy structures. Release it.
For example, [Fireball Technique], Xia Xiu does not regard it as [Entry], so now without the help of genealogy calculations, he cannot achieve instant casting, and now he can't even shake [Overclocking] Humans can’t do it either.
In other words, Xia Xiu is now disconnected from the Internet by the [Crimson King].
After Xia Xiu confirmed that he was really disconnected from the Internet, he rubbed his chin and began to think.
The genealogy blocking should only be for yellow cards. The holders of white cards and red cards should not be disconnected from the Internet, otherwise the emperor of the Oletin Empire would not drive a computer that requires a genealogy think tank link [Constantinople ]Fighted everywhere.
There are quite a few restrictions on the yellow card, but the perspective the yellow card is standing on should be from God's perspective...
Xia Xiu then turned his attention to the holographic interface projected by the yellow card.
【You are a yellow card from the [Savior] camp, and your duty is to help your master win! ]
[The published restrictions for this performance are as follows:]
[①: Performers are prohibited from pulling non-performers into this play. 】
[②: Extraordinary forces can only appear in this scene in the form of [background narrative], and [background narrative] can only interfere to a certain extent in a logical way. 】
【③: Only the white card and the red card know the [promotion] conditions for this performance. ]
[As a [Savior] yellow card, you can obtain the following permissions:]
[1. Know the conditions for winning the performance (there is a [Killing Condition] in this play, and you can collect all the conditions. Obtain [Absolute Special Attack])]
[Two, know the master's status. 】
Xia Xiu turned his attention to Authority 1. As he stared, the [Killing Conditions] representing this round of interpretation appeared in front of him.
[Information currently available for release:]
[Your enemy, the holder of the red card this time is [Supernatural Creature·Evil Dragon] (The [Killing Condition] of this round’s red card is [ [Ability Release]! )]
[Your monarch, the holder of the white card this time is an ordinary person (the [killing condition] of the holder of the white card this round is [Special Attack against the Evil Dragon] and [Extraordinary endowment]!)]
[[Killing conditions] are divided into three modes: announced, semi-announced, and hidden: the announced condition is known by all yellow cards, the semi-announced condition is known by the yellow card of the camp, and the enemy camp can obtain the fragments. The information and hidden conditions are known only to Red and White. 】
[Killing Conditions:]
[Announced: White·Necessary Condition-Barumk Holy Sword (not obtained)]
[Announced: Red·Necessary Condition-Confinement Lifted (Progress: Three One part)]
[Semi-announced: Secondary condition-Eight Virtues deeds (not unlocked, please find your monarch as soon as possible.)]
[Fragmented information: Plague is evil A breeding ground for dragons. ]
Looking at the information released by "Dragon Slayer", Xia Xiu was able to guess the offensive and defensive strategies of this performance in an instant. Both the red card and the white card will work hard for their own [killing conditions], and they will also try their best To interfere with the enemy's condition collection.
"Plague is a breeding ground for evil dragons..." Xia Xiu squinted his golden eyes and stared at the fragmented information on the interface.
It seems that the secondary condition of the red side is indeed related to this plague. In the previous life, it was because I got the white side’s [Necessary Condition-Holy Sword of Barumk] at night, which led to the "Dragon Slayer" A hasty ending.
If Xia Xiu’s guess is correct, [Barumuc’s Holy Sword] should have the ability to vaguely locate white cards, otherwise there would be no need to activate the foggy city fog to clear the AOE at night.
As for White, they absolutely cannot give away the [Holy Sword of Barumk], because the holder of the white card is an ordinary person, and the [upgrade] condition for this interpretation is only The white card knows it, so once the red side finds [Barumuc's Holy Sword] first, then the white side can only play GG this round.
Xia Xiu then turned his attention to Authority 2.
[Lord status]
[White card (not awakened)]
[Awakening condition: Holy Sword of Barumk]
[Current positioning : Fog City-Westminster (please find the specific location by yourself)]
[[Renegation] Restrictions: Once you betray, you will perform a [specified clearing] of relevant memories such as the winning conditions and positioning information of the white card. The later the performance time is, the less memory will be cleared. 】
This is a high-end game.
Xia Xiu said in his heart after reading the above information.
Xia Xiu is not surprised at all about the restrictions on [Rebellion]. If there were no restrictions, then White would definitely jump on the spot in this performance.
And if his guess is correct, [Rebellion] should have some special restrictions, or it should be said to be unspoken rules.
For example, if the red card is in front of the white card, and the red card is 90% sure to kill the white card, then the best advantage strategy for the white card supporter at this time is to [defect] on the spot, and this approach is obviously Exploited the loopholes in interpretation.
Isn’t this just treating the [Crimson King] as a fool? He will definitely beat these smart people to pieces on the spot.
[The Crimson King] allows others to play tricks. For example, the non-renegade party can actually use other means to bribe and win over, but he will never allow this to happen. The behavior of fools playing.
Just kidding, "Entrance Performance" is organized by Him, and His attitude is the rule.
