In fact, as a taboo item that poses a major safety hazard, the Parliament has always been very concerned about the taboo sequence, because if the latter is used slightly carelessly, it will bring great turmoil to the safe zone.
Of course, since each city district has its own set of proprietary solutions for handling taboo sequences, generally speaking, the parliament will not interfere too much.
However, the parliament had stipulated a long time ago that once there are abnormalities in restricted areas and taboo sequences, each city district should report the situation truthfully as soon as possible, and the parliament will judge the risk level and then formulate relevant plans to deal with it.
However, two hundred years have passed, and each city district has basically become independent, and has gradually forgotten this regulation. Even the joint meetings held every six months are always absent, and it seems that this is not necessary.
This is not a good thing for the small number of humans left.
However, with the destruction of Jiye City this time, I am afraid that no one will be absent from the next meeting.
"There are not many restricted areas near the Four Cities of Sun, Moon and Stars, and it is not difficult to investigate them. Do we need to send someone to check them out?"
After a brief commotion, a councilman looked at Mr. Huang and asked.
"certainly."
Mr. Huang said in a deep voice, "The changes in the restricted area cannot be ignored. Although this change did not cause any substantial harm, it caused a lot of panic to the citizens. We must find the reason behind it as soon as possible.
And the current breakthrough may be here.”
He looked at the Director of the Investigation Department, "Besides the Gravekeeper and the Silent One, how many problematic taboo sequences are there?"
The latter had already made sufficient preparations, and immediately said without thinking: "There are seven more. The danger levels range from level C to level A. They all appeared recently, and the descriptions in the sequence room are similar to those of past taboo sequences.
Different taboos."
"In my opinion, the anomalies in these taboo sequences may indicate to a certain extent that there are problems with the corresponding forbidden areas."
"In this case, let's let the Investigation Department and the Adjudication Department jointly conduct investigations at the same time."
Yang Buwei stood up and suggested, "There are two purposes for conducting a joint operation. One is to investigate these problematic taboo sequences and the restricted areas behind them, and the other is to take this opportunity to crack down on those restless urban areas."
"Not a bad idea." Mr. Huang nodded and snorted coldly, "If the restricted area is not cleared, human beings will not be able to sit back and relax for a day. Forget it in normal times, it is simply stupid to dare to work on their own in this situation...
…not afraid.”
"Huang Lao." Yang Buwei bowed slightly.
"You will be responsible for this operation. Also, contact Huang Quan and ask them to take action to help participate in this investigation."
Someone wondered: "With Huang Quan's intelligence capabilities, they should have known about the unusual movements in the restricted area for a long time. Maybe they are already investigating, so why do they need to contact them?"
"It doesn't matter whether Huang Quan knows it or not. What matters is the word 'assistance' to get them to position themselves correctly."
Mr. Huang said calmly, "It's time for us to let the world have a good meeting. Who has the final say in the current safe zone?"
"yes."
Everyone nodded seriously, and some even looked excited.
For that plan, the Parliament has indeed been too low-key recently. For this reason, even the information has lagged a lot, otherwise it would not be aware of these recent anomalies.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Huang Lao stood up and said: "But everyone still needs to make it clear that the most important purpose of this mission is to explore the truth behind this abnormal movement in the restricted area. Don't do too many meaningless things."
Everyone understood.
The meeting continued, mainly to finalize the specific plan for this operation.
Seeing that the meeting was about to end without mentioning the new restricted area stone tablet, Xue Hongyu couldn't sit still. She said, "Huang Lao, I want to go outside to see the restricted area."
Everyone immediately looked at her with different expressions.
"Oh?" Mr. Huang pretended to be serious, "What? Have you finished tinkering with the rubbing boards in the laboratory?"
"The research has been completed a long time ago. The rubbing board is not interesting at all. It does not have the original spirituality of the stone tablet at all. There is too little information that can be seen."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
The Adjudication Department just shipped back a lot of rubbing plates a while ago, right? Have they all been researched in just a few days? The entire Stone Tablet Research Institute combined may not be as efficient as this girl, right?
"Then what you mean is that you want to see the stone monument outside the restricted area?"
"Yes, even if it's a D-level restricted area, I want to see it on site." Xue Hongyu said expectantly.
Huang Lao smiled and said: "Then tell me, which restricted area do you want to go to see the stone monument?"
Seeing that Mr. Huang did not refuse directly, but relaxed for a rare moment, Xue Hongyu suddenly became excited: "Originally I wanted to go to the Dayless Hell, but I suddenly felt that the characteristics of the tombkeeper were very interesting, so I went there.
Take a look at the restricted area where you are."
"I don't know where the forbidden area belongs to the tombkeeper." Huang Lao shook his head and said, "And after all, it is an S-level forbidden sequence. It may be very dangerous. Hurry up and change it."
"If we don't change, Yang Buwei must be responsible for investigating the taboo sequence of tomb keeper. If I'm with him, there won't be any danger." Xue Hongyu pushed up his glasses and prayed.
Hearing this, Yang Buwei frowned slightly and asked me to bring this oil bottle?
This guy is really sensitive to the information on the stone tablet. He is a natural translator. He is almost regarded as a treasure by the council. However, there are also many people who have ideas about her. He dare not take her out because it will be difficult to explain in case of an accident.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Dr. Xue, I am not confident that I can protect you..."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself." Xue Hongyu said quickly, fearing that the other party would not protect him.
You should first make your way through the parliament before you say this...
Yang Buwei was slandering in his heart and was about to refuse sternly when he heard Mr. Huang say: "In that case, Buwei will bring the red fish with him this time."
"Old Huang, I love you!"
Hearing this, Xue Hongyu instantly brightened up and dared to blurt out whatever he said.
Mr. Huang touched his beard and shook his head helplessly.
Yang Buwei looked calm on the surface, but he was confused in his heart. How could Mr. Huang agree like this?
Sure enough, Huang Lao's next words immediately made the two people's expressions unified.
He smiled half-heartedly and said: "I guess it's time for Wu Gui to come back tonight. Then he will act with you and be responsible for your safety."
The expressions of the two people instantly became solemn. In addition to being shocked, they also indirectly understood Mr. Huang's determination to restore the majesty of the parliament.
The Wugui mentioned by Mr. Huang is none other than the Director of the Judgment Department of the Parliament who was absent this time——
A true practitioner, an S-level transcendent.
The sword never returns.
…
At this time, Bai Mo naturally didn't know that he was being noticed. He just kept walking along the path, hoping to find the inviter on the mountain before it rained.
The trees on both sides were still lush, but a three-way intersection suddenly appeared not far ahead.
Xia Yuxi followed closely behind him, feeling extremely complicated.
If she wasn't afraid of backlash, she really wanted to use [telepathy] to see what was in this guy's head, but he would be turned into this by an invitation.
She was depressed, but when she came back to her senses, she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the three-way intersection ahead, and she was immediately froze on the spot.
That figure seemed to appear out of thin air. Without raising his head, he lowered his head and hurriedly walked to the intersection on the left.
...It's Lu Zhan.
How is it possible? Lu Zhan is behind us, isn't he? How could he suddenly run to the front?
Bai Mo obviously also saw the guy who looked like Lu Zhan. He only hesitated for a moment before speeding up and following him, walking to the fork on the left.
"Army!" he shouted.
Lu Zhan was seen holding a bouquet of flowers and walking slowly along the path. What was strange was that no matter how Bai Mo shouted, he had no intention of turning back.
"Where do the Army plan to go?"
Bai Mo was suspicious. Although Xia Yuxi behind him said that something was wrong, she couldn't find a reason to stop Bai Mo from following her, so she could only take one step at a time.
As time goes by, the place where these people live becomes more and more remote.
There are more and more trees around, and standing together with the trees are some weathered tombstones, with different shades and varying degrees of incompleteness, as if they were scattered in different eras.
This seems to be an abandoned cemetery.
Lu Zhan quickly found a tombstone. Compared with other tombstones, this tombstone was obviously much neater. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it frequently.
He looked calm, said a lot to the tombstone, and carefully cleaned the area around the tombstone, then put down the flowers and walked into the forest.
Seeing that Lu Zhan ignored him, Bai Mo simply stopped shouting. He stopped not far away and watched the scene quietly.
It wasn't until the former's back disappeared that he walked to the tombstone.
This is a woman's cemetery. On the tombstone are written the words "loved daughter Liang Xiaoxiao" and a photo.
The photo shows a dignified woman who is obviously older than Xia Yuxi, so she cannot be Lu Zhan's beloved daughter——
Could it be one of his deceased relatives?
But somehow, the more Bai Mo looked at it, the more familiar he became to this woman. He always felt that he had seen her somewhere...
etc.
He was suddenly stunned and turned to look at Xia Yuxi.
Isn't this the mature version of Xia Yuxi with long hair?
He was about to ask, but saw that the latter looked equally confused, and seemed unable to understand where the photo came from.
"Your sister?" Bai Mo asked.
"no."
"Your mother?"
"Is it similar?" Xia Yuxi said angrily.
"Then who is up here?" Bai Mo was confused.
Xia Yuxi was stunned. She was originally worried that Bai Mo would feel something was wrong after seeing such a strange scene. She didn't expect that the other party would be so calm, so she asked curiously: "Why don't you think the person in the photo is me?"
Bai Mo stopped talking, thought for a while, raised his hand and gestured, and said strangely: "The person in the photo is a little more fierce than you..."
"Ferocious?" Xia Yuxi was stunned for a moment, looked at the photo, and then at herself. She quickly reacted and gritted her teeth and said, "Are you done?"
What happened to Pingdian!
Bai Mo secretly thought something was wrong, and quickly said: "Let's quickly see where the army has gone."
"Don't go."
Hearing this, Xia Yuxi hurriedly stopped her anger and stopped.
"Why? You should have seen that something was obviously wrong with him just now."
Xia Yuxi shook her head and said, "You may be in danger if you follow."
Bai Mo frowned and said, "It's even more important to go if there's danger. He might need help!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran along the place where Lu Zhan disappeared.
Xia Yuxi was helpless and felt that things seemed to be getting more and more wrong.
She took one step out, and the world was spinning for an instant. When she came back to her senses, she found that she was no longer in the forest, and there was no one around her.
"White ink?"
She was so shocked that she saw no trace of Bai Mo at all. She was about to return, but found that there was no way out behind her and there was an abandoned school not far ahead.
It is said to be a school, but in fact it only has a few classrooms.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it might rain at any time. After hesitating for a long time, Xia Yuxi decided to go in and take a look, looking from room to room.
The thick dust told her that this school had been abandoned for a long time. She shouted Bai Mo's name, and only her voice echoed in the empty school.
Xia Yuxi searched carefully for a long time and confirmed that there was indeed no one here and there was nothing weird. She was relieved but also a little worried.
Where did the white ink go?
At this moment, a diary on the table in the last room caught her attention. What made her feel strange was that the diary was not covered with dust like other things, as if someone had touched it frequently.
There was a strong smell of blood in the room. She looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual before opening the diary.
After reading it for a while, she knew whose diary it was. Many of the contents mentioned children, and she could tell that it was a legacy of a teacher.
There was a small box next to the diary. Xia Yuxi thought about it and simply put it aside.
The teacher's handwriting was very good. She flipped through it casually, but found that the subsequent handwriting was getting uglier and uglier, as if someone else had written it, as if it had been scribbled carelessly.
"Very few people are here. Where are the children?"
"I prepared the teaching materials, but still no one came."
"Today is another day when no one attends class."
"Why? Why is there no one!"
"That's a madman, a madman!"
The content that followed was like the ramblings of a madman. Xia Yuxi frowned as she read it. She even had to read it carefully before she could see the last four words "I'm so lonely."
She was about to close the diary, but her eyes caught a glimpse of the date on the diary.
August 3, 2391...
Isn’t it today?
Her whole body froze, and she felt a cold air rushing directly to the top of her head. This damn place has been abandoned for so long, who is still writing a diary?
No matter what the answer was, she was extremely scared. She was about to leave, but when she turned around, she found a dark figure appearing in front of her.
"Is anyone else coming in and wanting to attend the class?"
The black shadow kept murmuring, his long dirty hair covering his downcast face.
This person is probably a madman or a monster, but in short, he cannot be a normal person.
Xia Yuxi thought to herself and tiptoed toward the door.
She walked past the figure, who said nothing and seemed not to notice her. But just as she was about to leave, the figure grabbed her hand.
Xia Yuxi's feet suddenly froze, as if she had become an ordinary person.
The black shadow raised his head. It was a shrunken face, with facial features squeezed together, like a faceless person. The confused eyes were filled with resentment the moment they saw Xia Yuxi.
"It's you! Madman, how dare you come here!" He pinched Xia Yuxi's neck and kept roaring, "I will never forget your disgusting smell! Die, die!"
This is a lunatic. Xia Yuxi kept struggling, but found that she had lost all her strength and her limbs seemed to be frozen.
"Madman, die, die!"
Xia Yuxi was choked by the figure and was almost suffocated. She had no strength to resist. Just when she was about to lose consciousness, the strength in the figure's hand suddenly disappeared.
