Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 283 No.60 Four Acts of Tide of Doom
"The emperor among hybrids..." Chu Zihang stared at the mural, "What does the word 'emperor' mean when broken down?"

"White...King?" After a few seconds of silence, Caesar spat out these two words slowly and with difficulty, "Damn it...they are the blood descendants of the White King. Are these Japanese guys the blood descendants of the White King?"

"Although we cannot take it for granted based on the structure of Chinese characters, considering that the Japanese language comes from China, the purpose of establishing the word 'emperor' is very intriguing." Chu Zihang said.

"After all, they are the White King's bloodline that the secret party suspects has been destroyed, right?" Caesar asked.

"Well, it's most likely true. The name of this series of murals is "The Bunsen of the White Emperor". It tells the history of the White Emperor and his descendants."

"Let me make a guess. The ancestors of the eight Sheqi families learned the word 'emperor' from China. They believed that this word was created for super hybrids." Chu Zihang put all the murals together in his mind and began to form A complete context map.

"Not only that, it also hides the name of the white emperor."

"The White King is the Dragon King who masters spiritual elements. It can control the spirits of others, and its own mind is eternally clear. The three inner families inherit the blood of the White King. This is why Yuan Zhisheng did not become a deadpool."

"Even if Yuan Zhisheng has exceeded the critical blood limit, his spiritual talent ensures that his sanity is not eroded." Chu Zihang paused, "He is a unique alien, his body is almost entirely filled with dragon blood, and He has a strange human heart."

"What about you?" Caesar asked suddenly, with a hint of joking in his eyes.

"Do you still have the intention to joke in this situation..." Chu Zihang frowned and hesitated, "Because I accepted Xia Mi's Heart of the Dragon King, and my own bloodline is not high. This is acquired."

"And Yuan Zhisheng is born without being bound by the critical blood limit. There is no comparison between me and him."

"Oh." Caesar was about to retract his mockery when he suddenly raised his head and looked solemn, "Why is there the sound of water?"

Even without the blessing of Kamitachi, his hearing was many times sharper than that of ordinary people. He heard the sound of water, not the trickle of water in the water pipe, but the sound of the rising tide of the sea.

But Genji Heavy Industries is located in Shinjuku District, four or five kilometers away from the seaside in a straight line.

"Is the Iron Dome Temple releasing water again? The underground of this city is simply a sea." Chu Zihang was busy taking photos of the murals without looking back.

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain again tonight. If Tokyo didn't have this level of sewer system, it would have collapsed."

Caesar looked around, looking for a window to see if it was raining outside, but there were no windows in the fresco room.

But this is not surprising. In order to protect these murals from oxidation and dust pollution, the Sheqi family should have installed central dust removal equipment and dehumidification equipment on this floor, making it inconvenient to open windows for ventilation.

"Set the flashlight higher and let's take a look at the panoramic view of this painting. It should have some special meaning." Chu Zihang said.

"Just this one time, next time don't talk to me in the tone of a director directing a lighting engineer!" Caesar raised the flashlight and illuminated the entire mural.

……

……

1 minute ago, the deepest part of Genji Heavy Industries, "Naraka".

Yuan Zhisheng turned sideways to avoid Yuan Zhisheng's cherry-red sword, but this avoidance also caused the tip of the knife to penetrate the glass wall behind him.

Yuan Zhisheng pulled out the knife without hesitation, and then kicked Yuan Zhisheng in the chest.

Just as the two were about to continue drawing swords at each other, a slight explosion quickly penetrated the entire glass wall from top to bottom from the gap, and the metal frames supporting them quickly twisted and deformed.

"Brother, you released the devil." Yuan Zhinv sighed, "Why don't you just want to be stabbed by me?"

The human-faced fish that were eating also noticed the changes in the glass wall. They dropped their bloody food and swam over, just like the prisoners who heard the iron door of the prison ring and looked in the direction of the door.

The glass wall was crumbling. First, a huge glass brick was pushed out of the metal frame by water pressure, and then more glass bricks fell off. Each one was one square meter square, half a meter thick, and weighed several tons.

Water sprayed out from the gap more than ten meters away.

After a few seconds, the transparent wall completely collapsed, and tens of thousands of tons of water broke through the dam, carrying an unknown number of mermaid fish.

This is both a deadly frenzy and a deadly beauty. The falling glass bricks in the faint blue light curtain reflect the ice-like light, and in the light are flying black shadows like dragons and snakes... It is as beautiful as the end of the world.

"See you in Shinto, brother, I have a lot of things I want to tell you." Yuan Zhennu moved her lips slightly, as if she was speaking lip language.

Yuan Zhisheng understood it instantly. It came from the tacit understanding game they played when they were young.

"It's...ridiculous." The last thought flashed through his mind, and then the two of them were engulfed by the blue craze.

……

……

"But it's not just the sound of water." Caesar frowned, "I heard a group of low roars, like dozens of beasts being released from their cages at the same time."

"Maybe the Sheqiba family has a few tigers?" Chu Zihang said calmly.

"I can still tell the difference between a tiger and some kind of ghost. It seems that there are more secrets hidden in this building than we thought." Caesar's expression was a little solemn, "Also, you tell bad jokes His expression was really ugly."

"You don't do this to Xia Mi often, do you?"

"..." Chu Zihang was speechless, then raised the camera in his hand, "Speed ​​up, we don't have time to study, we can only take pictures, and then we can take a closer look at Gaotian Yuanli."

"You help me use the flashlight. The entire mural needs to be illuminated by the flashlight."

Caesar shrugged, showing that he didn't mind trying to help his enemy in a critical situation.

The two walked faster and faster, until Chu Zihang stopped in front of a mural.

"What's the matter?" Caesar asked.

"This mural..." Chu Zihang said softly, "What do you think it looks like?"

Caesar heard this and looked at the painting. It was a very abstract painting, showing a winged skeleton giving a bone to a person.

It is amazing that skeletons and people make up the structure of "yin and yang fish". The golden skeleton is lying on the black background, and the golden person is lying on the white background. The skeleton arm holding the bone is in contact with the human hand, the whole picture Turn like a vortex.

"Tai Chi Diagram?" Caesar said.

Chu Zihang shook his head, "Tai Chi diagram originated from Chen Chuan in the early Song Dynasty, and these murals are earlier than the Song Dynasty... In short, it means sexual intercourse."

"Pay what?" Caesar's Chinese got stuck.

"Mating." Chu Zihang had no choice but to use layman's terms.

"The living and the dead are mating? It sounds really disgusting. Is this the nature of the Japanese?" Caesar frowned.

"No, it's mating in a religious sense. Its core is not the mating process, but what the skeleton passes to the living..."

"It should be something that symbolizes 'life'. The artist drew this painting with that bone as the center of the circle." Chu Zihang thought for a while and said, "So the focus is on that bone."

"What do you say in the annotation of seal characters?"

"There are a large number of ancient and variant characters in this text. My understanding of seal script is limited, and I can hardly read it. But there are eight characters that I think I will not mistake." Chu Zihang paused, "Ancient Road Huangquan...the road to becoming a god." "I don't understand, doesn't Huangquan mean hell in Chinese?"

"Do you still remember "Jade Record"?" Chu Zihang asked.

He suddenly remembered that evening in Chicago. Looking out, he could see white cruise ships slowly passing by in the water, and the setting sun illuminated the entire river golden.

He and Xia Mi were also discussing "Jade Record".

"Of course, any cultured mixed race knows about the Jade Record, just as Christians know about the Bible." Caesar shrugged.

"This painting is almost the Japanese version of "Jade Records"." Chu Zihang said in a low voice.

Caesar was startled.

"Yellow Springs does mean hell, but after passing through the deepest hell, what you arrive at is heaven."

"The so-called Ancient Road to the Underworld refers to the ancient path in the hell where evil spirits are rampant. It is actually the 'Road to God Transformation'. If you walk through it, you can evolve into a god."

Chu Zihang looked up at the circle that symbolized the ultimate meaning of alchemy, "That golden skeleton is the symbol of the White King. It gave its own bones and blood to humans and created the blood descendants of the White King, those mermaids."

"But God also left behind a more precious treasure, which is the method of evolving from a hybrid to a dragon. Although that is very dangerous, it is not completely impossible."

"If you knew that method, would you want to try it?" Caesar and Chu Zihang stood side by side, looking up at the mysterious Circle of Reincarnation.

"I've already tried it." Chu Zihang said calmly.

"Yes." Caesar sighed softly, "Actually, I kind of want to try it, but unfortunately I don't have a Dragon King girlfriend... But even if I did, I wouldn't do it."

"My mother will probably be very disappointed, right? So let's forget it."

"There are paintings here that are more precious than this one. Come and see the most valuable painting here." Caesar shook his head at Chu Zihang, "Follow me."

"Is this the most precious mural you said?" Chu Zihang looked up at the high wall in front of him.

"Don't you think? At least it's the most valuable." Caesar stood side by side with him.

They faced a snow-white wall, and the murals had been taken away.

"Within 10 minutes, while knocking out these executive members, that person also stole the mural." Caesar complained, "What kind of new-age monster thief?"

"It's very professional. I have observed these paintings and even thought about tearing off a piece and taking it back."

"But these murals were stripped from the original walls and were not attached to the walls here, but were attached to traditional canvases that had been coated with alum."

"The canvas is attached to the wall with adhesive. Normally, you have to use a special solvent to wash off the adhesive before you can take the painting off."

"And since I didn't have this kind of solvent, I had no choice but to give up... He could actually do it so fast."

"To put it simply." Caesar's face darkened, "Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more of a bitch?"

"I can't do this within 10 minutes." Chu Zihang's fingers slid along the wall. He took the flashlight from Caesar and inspected the wall carefully.

"OK, simple and clear." Caesar shrugged, "Well, Mr. Chu Zihang, the famous detective, do you think that guy will leave fingerprints on this wall?"

"No, I'm checking the adhesive on the wall. You see there's still glue-like stuff left here," Chu Zihang pointed the flashlight at a piece of yellow glue, "This means he tore it off hard, that's why he did it so quickly. "

"OK, let's tear it up, then what's the use of analyzing so much?" Caesar smiled.

"A very contradictory point can be drawn." Chu Zihang whispered, "It is difficult to ensure that the canvas base is not damaged when it is torn hard. If that person wants this precious painting, how can he treat it so badly? rough?"

"It makes sense." Caesar nodded, "I think it might be to destroy the body and eliminate traces."

Chu Zihang was stunned, "He doesn't want latecomers to figure out the ultimate secret contained in this long series of murals?"

"That's right." Detective Caesar nodded again.

"...Yes, there is a major clue hidden in this mural, which may be the key to interpreting all murals."

Chu Zihang said, "There must be a secret hidden in these murals. The person who stole this painting wanted that secret."

"Okay, stop analyzing." Caesar patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up and finish taking pictures of the remaining murals. We will retreat as soon as Lu Mingfei finishes his work. Don't worry about Kaguya's affairs for now. What we gained today is more than It would be too much to blow up Kaguya."

He was suddenly silent for a few seconds, then turned off the flashlight and said, "Director, the special guest is coming."

"What did you hear?" Chu Zihang looked around alertly.

Then he stopped talking because he heard it too.

That was the sound of the tide echoing in a narrow passage.

"Elevator shaft." Caesar mouthed.

The two walked to the elevator door. Caesar turned on the miniature flashlight, held it in his mouth, and dug his hands into the crack of the door.

"You're coming too!" He rolled his eyes, "You're just looking at me doing my part alone, right? I really feel like you've become less smart since you fell in love with Xia Mi."

Chu Zihang's facial muscles stiffened, "...I'm sorry."

So they used brute force to open the bronze door.

Caesar was the first to look down.

"Damn it." He cursed vaguely with the flashlight in his mouth.

"Is this...water?" Chu Zihang also looked at the deep elevator shaft.

"Yes, you read that right, neither of us are blind... I just don't understand how there can be so much water in the elevator shaft, and how it can reach this level."

A few dozen meters below, the blue water was rippling.

"Do you feel that the ripples are becoming more and more obvious?" Chu Zihang asked.

"No, it's not just obvious, the entire water surface is undulating..." Caesar paused, "Bullshit! There's something fucking moving fast inside!"

The two of them drew back at the same time and looked at each other quickly.

"Yuan Zhisheng?"

"Who else could it be!" Caesar cursed and pulled out the Desert Eagle, "Hey, can you fight now?"

"It should be no problem." Chu Zihang's palm touched Murasame's handle.
