"Sir, the Orthodox have already sent manpower to explore the Bronze City. I believe there will be gains soon."
In the spacious hall of Li's Heavy Industry, Li Yongyuan was wearing long-sleeved black pants, a white baseball cap, and an extended black baseball bag on his shoulders, with the metal zipper zipped tightly.
Zhou Chen and Si Yao reported to the young people respectfully.
Li Longyuan nodded, smiled at them, turned around and waved goodbye.
"Son..."
The young man wearing a pair of square glasses stopped him hesitantly.
Li Longyuan tilted his head and looked at Si Yao with some confusion.
"Did you really cut that bronze city apart with one sword?"
The elegant young man asked hesitantly, with a hint of exclamation in his tone.
"yes."
Li Longyuan didn't understand what he meant.
"According to the on-site exploration, the interior of the bronze city may be a Nibelung."
Si Yao's eyes under his glasses showed surprise.
The word Nibelungen originally originated from the Kingdom of Mists in Nordic mythology. It is also known as the Kingdom of the Dead. As the name suggests, all matter in space is dead and stagnant, including metals.
In orthodox records, the Nibelungen first appeared in the allusion about Lanke's chess relationship in "Shu Yi Ji" written by Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasty.
It roughly tells the story of Wang Zhi, a woodcutter from the Jin Dynasty, who went up the mountain to collect firewood and lost his way. When he turned around the mountain col, he came across a stone cave. After walking along the cave for an unknown amount of time, he discovered a new world.
He saw two boys playing Go and watched with interest. While watching the game, the boy invited him to eat dates and asked him to hold the date cores in his mouth.
As a result, before the game of Go was finished, the boy told him, the handle of your ax is rotten, go home quickly. When Wang Zhi returned to the village, he found that the handle of the ax was rotten, and dozens of years had passed in a daze.
Over the years, most of the people in the village who still remember him have turned into elderly people.
According to orthodox analysis, it was the Nibelungs that Wang Zhi accidentally broke into. Because there is no concept of the passage of time in the Nibelungs, Wang Zhi could not feel the changes in the world. And the two boys may be suspected dragon kings.
.
But there has never been any record in ancient books that someone or a weapon could directly destroy the Nibelungs. It was a void space that did not exist in the present world.
But Li Longyuan's sword actually did it, cutting the huge bronze city in half and the Nibelung roots hidden inside.
Li Longyuan pursed his lips, looking a little surprised. He didn't know how to explain it. After all, he had never entered the Bronze City in person, and he couldn't tell him that he was possessed by the guy in his mind.
"Maybe it's the Tai'a sword."
So he could only blame all the reasons on Tai'a, and then turned around and left.
Si Yao and Zhou Chen watched the young man leave with subtle sighs in their hearts. Li Longyuan became more and more unfathomable in their hearts, and the distance between him and them became further and further away.

Changchang Internet Cafe
A young man dressed in casual and comfortable clothes and a boy wearing a white long-sleeved shirt walked out arm in arm, with big smiles on their faces.
After two interstellar games, the slightly unfamiliar offline relationship between the two netizens quickly became active.
"Old Tang, I know a very good barbecue restaurant. Let's go there to eat."
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the blazing sunshine approaching noon, and greeted the slightly happy-looking young man next to him. With the pocket money he had saved recently, he was still enough to treat him to a barbecue.
"No, no, I'll treat you to this meal. Obviously, you are still a student."
Old Tang shook his finger repeatedly and spoke in Chinese with a slightly American pronunciation.
The bus arrived at the stop on time, and Lu Mingfei took Old Tang on the bus.
Old Tang, who was taking a domestic bus for the first time, looked curiously at the people and facilities on the bus. It was similar to a Greyhound bus, except that it seemed more crowded and lively, and the conversation had a more special human touch. It made Old Tang feel happy.
A warm feeling of returning to my hometown.
Just as the electric bus door was about to close, a slender hand pressed the door, and a tall young man boarded the bus.
Wearing a mask, a white baseball cap, and carrying a baseball bag, he silently passed through the passengers and sat at the back.
Lu Mingfei was sitting by the window, pointing at the street outside the glass window. He was introducing to Old Tang the things and buildings that had emerged in China in recent years, and did not notice this little episode.
"Obviously, listen to me. Let's go to the Regent Hotel today. We have agreed before that I will treat you to a big dinner when I get rich."
Old Tang sat on his seat and patted his chest boldly, not minding the expensive fee at all. He sincerely regarded Lu Mingfei as a friend he could make, or perhaps his only friend.
Lu Mingfei no longer insisted on his own opinion, but kept talking to Old Tang about the changes in the country in recent years. His mouth went dry.
Along the way, the bus drove smoothly and slowly, but there were always two black cars following behind.
The young man sitting at the back of the car put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes tightly, and his extended baseball bag was placed across his knees.
"There are fish biting the bait, let's spread the net."
The young man seemed to be pretending to be asleep, but in fact his lips were moving, and a mechanical male voice replied quickly from the black headset.
Then he opened his eyes, and a cluster of golden flames burst out from the black pupils, and the invisible dragon's power flashed away.
The visitor was Li Longyuan. He already knew the identity of Old Tang's bounty hunter from the information collected through orthodoxy, and he also knew that he had some kind of connection with the hybrid organization that had infiltrated from abroad.
But he really didn't expect that Lu Mingfei would be involved in this matter. How could an ordinary high school student, who had never even been abroad, have contact with a Chinese-American overseas? He was also a bounty hunter.
"Prime Minister, check for me all the correspondence between Lu Mingfei and Ronald Tang and find out why they know each other."
Li Longyuan pressed the headset and whispered instructions.
"Roger, Your Highness."
The prime minister once again sent a cold reply.
The bus was still moving slowly, but obviously the people following it had lost their patience.
At the bus stop, a man in a suit wearing black sunglasses boarded the bus. His fair and cold skin and deep facial features under the sunglasses revealed his identity as a foreigner.
When he passed by the passengers around him, he glanced at the young man who was having a heated conversation with the boy. His sinister gaze seemed to be transformed into reality through the lenses. For a moment, Old Tang forgot about his conversation with the young boy next to him, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Stagnated there.
A smile appeared on the corner of the suit man's mouth. He did not go to Ronald Tang directly to ask what happened in the Bronze City at the bottom of the river. Instead, he sat at the back of the car under Li Longyuan's slightly strange eyes. Next to him, a man
He looks calm and confident of victory.
Sometimes, fate is so wonderful.
Old Tang moved his eyes away without leaving a trace, focusing on the boy who was still introducing him to the situation around the city excitedly, but his mind was running at high speed.
As a bounty hunter, my instinct is that that guy must be targeting me. He should be his previous employers. As for the reason, he must be incompetent and wants to teach himself a profound lesson.
Old Tang, who had lived in a slum area of Brooklyn since he was a child, was very aware of the gangster's methods of doing things. He immediately said to Lu Mingfei: "Obviously, I may have something to do today, so I'm afraid I can't treat you to dinner."
There was obvious disappointment in the boy's eyes, but he still nodded.
"Is it something urgent? Do you need my help?" Lu Mingfei asked enthusiastically.
"Well, I'd like to know what quick means of transportation are nearby."
Old Tang has already begun planning his escape route.
"The next stop is the subway station. If you're in a hurry, Old Tang, you can take the subway. It's faster."
The boy clearly saw the anxiety on Old Tang's face, and understood that he was really in a hurry and was not deliberately trying to prevaricate, so he responded immediately.
"Obviously, when the bus arrives at the stop, no matter what happens, you don't care. Just stay where you are, wait for the bus to arrive at the next stop, then get off the bus, and then go home, remember."
Old Tang stared into the boy's eyes with great solemnity, leaned his back completely on the seat, tried not to turn his head around, and whispered.
"Don't move."
Lu Mingfei was shocked by Old Tang's sudden warning. He was a little confused and wanted to tilt his head, but was stopped by Old Tang in time.
He stood there like a quail for a moment, but countless exciting gunfight scenes from "The Matrix" flashed through his mind.
Could it be that Old Tang is a latent double agent and is now being arrested by the special agent team?
No, then he should put the M1911 on his head now and use himself as a hostage. While shouting to retreat, he asked someone to prepare a Wuling Hongguang full of fuel and enough cash and food.
The bus slowly stopped at the bus stop, and various real estate sales advertisements scrolled horizontally on the bus stop sign. Almost as soon as the door opened, Old Tang stood up suddenly and quickly escaped from his seat, like a frightened animal.
Running wildly in the steel jungle like a beast.
All the passengers behind him were shocked by his sudden acceleration, but a man in a black suit also ran out quickly and got off the bus in the blink of an eye.
The two cars behind the car opened their doors at the same time, and four or five men got out, all wearing suits, burly figures, and menacing faces, with ferocious tattoos faintly visible on their necks and sides of their heads. They were running towards Old Tang's subway station.
Chase in the direction.
Lu Mingfei stood up in a hurry, nervously holding the safety lever painted with yellow paint, and looked out the window through the glass, with hesitation and anxiety on his face.
He remembered Old Tang's advice, and this matter had nothing to do with him. Even if he caught up, he wouldn't be able to save Old Tang, and he might even get into unnecessary trouble.
only……
After all, Old Tang is his friend.
For a time, the thoughts in Lu Mingfei's mind were changing. Finally, he patted the seat, took his uncle's Sony camera and chased the car.
It wasn't until everyone got out of the car that Li Longyuan stood up leisurely.
"Inform the bad guys to temporarily block the entrance to the subway station to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake."
The young man grabbed his baseball bag and slowly stepped out of the car while informing the prime minister.
"receive."
He saw clearly the direction of Ronald Tang's escape, so he was basically certain of his plan.
Binhai's subway station is newly built and was not officially opened to traffic until September. Currently, it only has lines 1, 2 and 3.
Ronald Tang got off the bus and ran all the way to the entrance of the subway station on the opposite side. The dark entrance was like a crawling beast with its bloody mouth open, waiting for prey to fall into its trap.
He is not particular about which subway line he takes, he just wants to escape as soon as possible.
Perhaps because he was too nervous and hurried to escape, he did not notice that there were not many passengers and service staff in the entire subway station.
As far as Old Tang took a quick glance, he could vaguely see a girl in a white skirt and a girl in a trendy jacket.
A new model train with golden lights had stopped in front of them and was about to start at any moment.
Therefore, he didn't have time to buy a ticket, so he quickly climbed over the ticket gate and stood next to the two girls.
The girl in the white cotton skirt looked at the girl who was sweating profusely and could not be more ordinary. Old Tang exhaled subtly. He finally saw a normal person.
As for the pretty girl in a jacket and jeans, she just glanced at him briefly and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you really want to take this bus? Why don't you wait for the next one."
Panting, Old Tang realized that the two girls seemed to have good looks, especially the one who was dressed in a young and trendy style, with fair and delicate facial features, clear eyes, and a little bit of baby fat.
He looked around with a little doubt, and found that the dark subway station here was eerily quiet. Apart from the three of them, there seemed to be no one else.
But on the escalator behind me, thunderous footsteps could be heard. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was my employer's group who were chasing me.
"It's too late, it's too late."
Old Tang immediately got into the train and hid, and the moment he stepped onto the train, a sound came from the loudspeaker.
"The train is about to start. Passengers who have not yet boarded the train are asked to hurry up and get on the train."
The girl in the white skirt finally clenched her hands and stepped into the train. The girl in the jacket just shook her head helplessly and then entered the subway door.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Followed by those men in black suits and Lu Mingfei.
As soon as they entered the station entrance and went down the escalator, they saw this new train that was about to start, and immediately chased it.
"Lu, Lu Mingfei?"
The girl in the white dress saw the boy hiding in the corner with his camera hidden in front of his face, and asked uncertainly.
The boy who was discovered suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and raised his head to look at the girl.
"Wenwen, what a coincidence, you are also taking the subway here."
The man in a suit wearing sunglasses immediately recognized Lu Mingfei, and immediately rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and asked in stiff and cold Chinese.
"Boy, where is Ronald Down?"
Lu Mingfei's fierce look immediately made Lu Mingfei's legs weak, and he almost clasped his fists and said: "It's unfair, uncle. I'm just a soy sauce guy. I really don't know where the Ronaldo candy in your mouth is. He and I are just the same person."
Friends who have been online, friends who have been online, friends who have been online!"
But now Chen Wenwen was also on the train. Whether to be beaten or to maintain his heroic spirit in front of the goddess, Lu Mingfei shouted loudly without hesitation: "It is impossible for me to betray my friends!"
Old Tang, who was hiding behind the car seat, couldn't help but cover his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound, but he was secretly grateful in his heart: "Obviously this young man is really capable, and he really takes care of me when I need it!"
At this time, the train shook violently, and the pale golden overhead lights began to flicker on and off, and then went out one by one. Only the car they were in was still in the light.
Everyone in the car was shocked by this scene and immediately didn't understand what happened.
When they looked out the window, they realized that there was only darkness around them. This high-speed train seemed to be traveling in a long, narrow and deep tunnel, with no direction, no end, no time.
They seemed to be on a death train, traveling on the unbuilt No. 4 line.
Four, pass, die.
On the top of the streamlined train, a young man wearing a baseball cap pressed one hand on the surface of the train. He squatted down and held Tai'a in his right hand. The golden pupils under his black forehead were burning with bright flames, becoming the centerpiece of the darkness.
The only light.
They are following the train to an unknown location, which may be the legendary country of the dead.
