If Jormungandr wants to complete the fusion and be born into the mythical god who controls "death" and is also the final form of the four monarchs, then Fener, as a twin, must die, just like Norton swallowed Constantine. , eating his own relatives to complete his transformation - but why didn't Shyemunga do it himself, but instead sent Fen'e to the emperor's hands with all his efforts? Want to kill his brother with the help of others?
Was there a necessary reason why Jörmungandr couldn't take action against Fener, or was the emperor obstructing it... Lin Nian couldn't figure it out, he just felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden here.
Since you can't understand it, stop thinking about it and think about the problem at hand.
Lin Nian glanced at Mandy's golden eyes and asked in a low voice, "...Since you know that Xiawang is the key, then you still let Lu Mingfei pass? If it is as you said, Nibelungen is The end point of the chess game is Xiawang's life and death. Then Xiawang is likely to be placed at the end of the level and become that 'evil dragon'! This is also written in the specious game introduction of "Nine Layers of Ghost Realm". Fen E is hidden in the deepest level, waiting for the dragon slayer...Lu Mingfei is the appointed dragon slayer! The emperor wants to use Lu Mingfei's hand to kill Fen E to complete the fusion! In that case, why do you still want to Help him get there!?”
"If I don't let him pass, won't he be able to pass?" Mandy frowned, "Lin Nian, use your brain and think about what kind of power your friend has? With your help, he has grown to Which step? Do you think I can stop him?"
"Even if you can't stop him, you should stop him and tell him what you are telling me now..."
"Let me tell him? Why?" Mandy suddenly raised her voice and stared at Lin Nian.
Lin Nian had never seen this girl look like this before, and he was suddenly stunned.
Mandy stared at Lin Nian's eyes and said, "Do you really think that I can tell this fatal information to just one person? Lu Mingfei is your friend, and who is mine? Can you guarantee that Lu Mingfei or Su Xiaoqiang next to him doesn't have the emperor's ears? Do you think it's you, Lin Nian?"
Do you think anyone is as worthy of my trust as you, and you risk your life?
——She didn't say the last sentence, she just looked at Lin Nian's eyes.
"..."
Lin Nian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"But what good does this do to the emperor?" He looked at Mandy and asked, "Helping Jormungandr complete the integration is not something the emperor is willing to do. How terrifying the four monarchs will be after the integration is completed. I think everyone knows that even the emperor needs to consider whether he can wrestle with the fused Hela, which is not in line with his usual code of conduct."
"What do you think the emperor's code of conduct is? What has he been doing so much for so long?" Mandy asked Lin Nian.
Lin Nian opened his mouth and then closed it. He had the answer in his heart.
"The Emperor is promoting your growth, and this is what He has been doing." Mandy said the answer.
She looked directly into Lin Nian's pupils, "Lin Nian, how many of the chains that bind you are left now?"
Lin Nian paused, because this was not something Mandy should know.
This is one of his greatest secrets and the source of his own power.
Those chains that bound him and brought him incredible power.
But Mandy didn't care, but continued talking to herself, "Those chains, those chains you saw in the mental world presented to you by Yelena are the symbol of the 'contract', and every time you cut it,
Break one, and you will gain those terrible 'powers' that have been returned. That, Fusheng, and Baqi, these are the powers returned to you by the 'contract'. Every time you take back a part, you are further away from the emperor's final layout.
The closer you get, when all the chains are cut off, it will be the time when the final battle between you and the emperor begins. Many people are trying their best to prolong this process, just to make more preparations and be more confident before that battle, because
None of us can afford to lose."
"Those chains that represent power are controlled by Yelena." Lin Nian said in a low voice. He no longer cared about why Mandy knew so many secrets. "I can take the initiative to extend this process, if necessary."
"You can't, and the funny thing is, neither can Yelena." Mandy said calmly, "When the chains are broken, when those powers are given to you, it has always been the emperor who has the final say - the most profound example is not
More so than Constantine."
Lin Nian remembered that that time was the time when the chain symbolizing the 'Baqi' was cut off. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the other party meant with relief.
"Do you think your admission to the Kassel Academy was purely a result of Hilbert Jean Angers's discerning eye? Do you think your meeting that Odin-like thing on the viaduct was a pure accident? You know that the emperor has always been
What have you been doing since?" Mandy said with a smile, "Create the right crisis for you at the right time! In a dangerous situation of near death, it is not you and Elena who can break or continue the chains that symbolize power.
It has the final say, before life and death, those powers must be returned to you, otherwise what awaits you is a dead end or an ending that you cannot accept! The acceleration of the final battle, the breaking of the chains, the return of powers, all of this
, He has always had the final say!”
"The emperor is accelerating your growth not for anything else, but to be able to stand opposite you personally on the battlefield faster." Mandy said, "She is waiting for an opportunity."
"There are two chains left." Lin Nian whispered.
"He is going to cut off one of the Nibelung roots this time and give you another power." Mandy nodded.
"Return?" Lin Nian noticed that the other party had been using this word.
"Yes, return it." Mandy said, "About this issue, maybe you can find a time to ask Elena and let her give you a reasonable answer. If she doesn't want to say it, then beat her until she does.
until."
"Is there anything else you want to tell me or that I should know?" Lin Nian asked, looking into Mandy's golden eyes.
"It's not my intention to let Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang go." Mandy looked into his eyes and said, "But I won't argue for what I have done, just like before. Just remember one thing, if you want to break In the emperor's game, you must first enter the emperor's game. Sacrifice is inevitable. Attack and kill with abandoned pieces. Attack and kill with abandoned pieces. When you learn chess from me, this is the first thing I teach you! He can always win. , but as long as the last move ensures that we don’t lose, that’ll be fine!”
"You don't lose?" Lin Nian asked coldly, "What about me?"
Mandy looked at him and spoke, but nothing came out.
She saw disapproval, denial and a strong sense of distance in Lin Nian's eyes.
The sound of wind sounded again in the tunnel behind, accompanied by the vibration of the rails and the roar in the tunnel. The trains traveling between Line 7 and Line 8 rushed to the platform, and the doors opened amidst the yellow lights and sirens.
Lin Nian stood up, lifted the sack on his back, glanced at Nailhead sitting opposite the chess board with his eyes as red as a volcano, and said in a voice as deep as the cracking sound of lava, "You're dead if you get up. "
Nail Head raised his head and glanced at Lin Nian, but actually didn't make any move. He quietly watched him walk into the train, the carriage door closed and the blurry figure behind the glass drove into the dark tunnel.
As the train went away, it took away the rumble of the rails and the sound of the howling wind.
Line 7 once again returned to the tranquility it should have - until something was overturned, appearing harsh and noisy in the silence, shattering, crackling, rolling and shattering.
Under the chandelier, chess pieces were scattered all over the floor. The chessboard was overturned and covered on the ground. The black and white chess pieces were skewed and mixed together in the aperture, reflecting the halo of the chandelier.
The nail-headed weirdo sat motionless in front of the chaotic chess game, turning a deaf ear.
Mandy stood under the chandelier, standing in front of the chaotic pile of chess pieces, lowering her head and staring at the nail-headed weirdo for a long time. For a long time, the air was so quiet that it almost made people's ears ring. Finally, she opened her mouth with a kind of hatred, but her words were unusual. Said in a calm tone:
"Are you finally satisfied now?"
Of course the nail-headed weirdo didn't answer her, he just quietly picked up the chess pieces one by one, straightened them up, and restored the neat black and white chessboard.
