Chapter 971, You Win

The plane was shaking and ripples appeared in the teacup.

The Empress did not come out again for the rest of the journey.

But the Magic Soul Pot was still open, and the sounds outside could be heard.

Now, even if I don't care, the queen will not run away. She will wait for the bet to win back and then mock herself.

The two sides had made a bet to the point where, now that they had arrived and found the old Shang Dynasty city, she felt too embarrassed to go back on her word.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes scanning the three ghosts watching the movie.

Received it again.

By then, with the addition of the Queen, I will have four ghosts.

First, upgrade her level, and when you are familiar with each other, ask her indirectly about her skills and the bronze key.

Was it because of this key that ancient people were able to travel between the two worlds?

"No! Thousands of years ago, was there such a thing as a key in a lock?"

How come I remember that in the TV series, a door bolt was used!

Let’s see what she says when the time comes!

There is also [Unfinished Business], I hope it can be unlocked directly this time.

If she still has an unfulfilled wish from more than a thousand years ago, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Thinking about it now, it still feels a bit magical.

After investigating all the way, I found out that the other world and my own world have been connected for a long time.

If it weren't for the huge differences between human races, one would even suspect that the human race is just a group of people who migrated to another dimension.

If I hadn't experienced this myself, and someone told me about it, I would have thought that the other person was hallucinating because they had eaten so much.

But I have to admit, it does feel a bit magical.

……

The plane arrived at Anyang Airport.

Release the skeleton 'Shanshan' from the [Mansion Technique] and take him to continue rushing towards the ancient city.

Riding on Shanshan’s back, the biting cold wind was howling in the sky.

Four ghosts flew on both sides and followed the empress. She looked at the continuous buildings below, her eyes constantly changing.

Towering buildings, huge bridges spanning rivers, and abandoned vehicles clogging the streets.

All this proves that this is no longer Treasure Island, and may not even be the original world.

"This... where is this?" The queen's voice was filled with doubt.

Wu Heng said, "Let's go find the ruins you mentioned. If you admit defeat now, I'll count your defeat as half. From now on, you'll be a maid and only be responsible for cleaning the front courtyard."

As soon as I heard him open his mouth, I felt like he was cheating again.

The queen sneered and said, "I have seen through your tricks a long time ago. It must have taken a lot of effort to find such a place! Do you think you can fool me by saying it is a ruins and its original appearance cannot be recognized? Without substantial evidence, I will not recognize it."

"Just keep talking tough!" Wu Heng said.

"I think you are the one who is being stubborn..."

Wu Heng wrapped his collar tightly, his voice was broken by the wind, "We'll be there soon, wait to be a maid."

"Hmph~!"

Below, where the modern buildings ended, a square site surrounded by city walls gradually became clear.

Although it is called a ruins, it has actually been converted into a tourist area. It has an ancient atmosphere and is very prosperous.

"There are people guarding the city wall, two of whom have reached level five. They should be people with special abilities." Benny came closer and spoke softly.

This type of building with walls is a good defensive city during a zombie outbreak.

Many large bases are preserved by relying on places like this.

"Go down first." Wu Heng said.

He patted Shanshan on the back, dived down, and landed on the ground.

Wu Heng took back Shan Shan's [Mansion Technique] and continued walking towards the ruins in front.

The empress followed behind, looking from time to time at the buildings on both sides and the various colorful billboards.

……

The city wall was mottled, and the rusty barbed wire on the top rustled in the cold wind.

Looking upwards, you can see some guards wrapped in military coats or winter clothing, with antifreeze strips wrapped around the barrels of their guns, which is the normal dressing style of survivors in apocalyptic situations.

"Stop! Where are you coming from?" a shout came from above.

Wu Heng said, "Come here to see the ruins."

"From the Yama Palace?" The man raised his eyebrows.

Li Yahong informed the base in advance to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Yes!"

The gate opened, and a bearded man wearing a military coat walked down with two people and said, "Your deputy leader has greeted us. We are going into the scenic area, right?"

Wu Heng nodded, "Yes!"

"I'm the captain here." The bearded man rubbed his hands, and the white breath he exhaled frosted on his beard. "In order to prevent zombies, the roads were rebuilt before, and traps and dangers were left in many places. I'll take you in personally with two packs of cigarettes, so that other intersections won't have to ask about your identity and waste time along the way."

But he knows how to do business.

It can make things simple. Wu Heng didn't care about these things and said, "I don't smoke. I'll give you three sausages."

Several people raised their eyebrows and said, "Okay!"

Wu Heng reached into his arms and took out three thumb-thick sausages. He handed them to the other party and said, "I'm in a hurry. Let's go."

"Okay, let's set off immediately." The captain smiled, put away the sausages, and called an electric tricycle, "Let's go by car."

Wu Heng got in the car and drove alone, while the other two squeezed in and sat opposite him.

On the way, the other party asked, "What's your name?"

Wu Heng said, "Just call me Qiangzi."

"Brother Qiangzi, you came here by yourself? You're quite brave. A superpower? What stage of development have you reached?" The captain asked as if he was chatting casually.

"Some means of saving lives." Wu Heng changed the subject, "Don't you guys take a break during the New Year?"

The two people on the opposite side were stunned. "Rest? You are taking a rest during the New Year? We are not as big as your base. It is hard to survive here. How can there be such a thing as rest?"

After complaining, the captain asked, "Why did you come to see the ruins?"

Wu Heng said: "The higher-ups asked me to take some photos."

"Oh." The captain nodded.

The tricycle made many turns and finally stopped in front of a palace.

The captain took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Here's to you. It's cold and we can't wait for you outside. When you come out, return it to us."

"Okay!" Wu Heng took it, but the other party did not let go.

The captain smiled and said, "The small base can't compare to you, leave some deposit."

"Forget it. You just wait here. I'll find you when I come out." Wu Heng said, then turned and left.

The captain was stunned and immediately chased after him, "It's okay if you don't have the deposit, just take it out and give it back to us first."

Wu Heng didn't say much and turned to walk into the palace.

A small voice also came over, "They are so annoying, they want everything, just like children."

Beni said, "Maybe he saw that Wu Heng didn't look like he had ever suffered, so he wanted to extort some money."

"Hmph! You don't act like a hero at all. You just kill some ordinary people who are not even professionals. What can they do to you?" The queen sounded quite dissatisfied.

"This place is different from your place. There is no such thing as a hero." Wu Heng gave a brief explanation and then said, "This is the ruins. Take a look around."

Walking through the antique palace corridor and entering the building, you will see pictures of the ancestors' labor on the walls, and some decorations include animal totems such as animal heads and black birds.

The other three ghosts immediately dispersed and looked around, their faces full of curiosity.

Glenda and Bernie were both surprised.

They had been to Lilith's mansion, and the place they stayed in was as big as a manor.

This is the residence of the leader.

The place where the king lives here is so big that it is almost as big as a residential area on Treasure Island.

The queen circled here for a long time before she flew back with a frown.

Wu Heng asked: "Do you remember anything?"

The empress still frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Did you build a place by yourself to deceive me?"

"I built such a big place just to deceive you? Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Wu Heng said.

The empress was stunned, and felt that what the other party said made sense. She had been captured, so there was no need to create such a big place to deceive herself. Then she said, "Maybe it's here, but I can't find the corresponding place in my memory."

"For more than three thousand years, generations of people have changed the buildings and turned it into a scenic spot. It is very difficult to maintain its current appearance," Wu Heng explained.

Xiao Xiao said, "Aunt, you are over three thousand years old!"

The queen rolled her eyes at her and ignored her. She continued to look at Wu Heng, and said with some emotion, "Maybe you are right. It has been too long."

"So the winner is decided, little maid." Wu Heng said with a smile.

The queen said, "I feel like we should be considered a draw. I feel like what you said makes sense and is related to what I said, but it's definitely not the royal city I mentioned. At least there's no way to confirm it."

"I knew you would cheat." Wu Heng continued, "Come on, I'll take you to the museum."

Several people went out again.

He used the intercom to call the bearded man who was waiting outside.

On the way to the museum, we took a detour and saw the museum in the distance.

Wu Heng got off the bus and went straight into the museum.

……

As soon as Wu Heng's figure disappeared, an accompanying staff member tore open the sausage package and sniffed the aroma.

"Damn, the fat sheep in the big base are different." He said, stuffing the whole sausage into his mouth, "This idiot must have never seen a real wasteland."

The bearded captain also said, "What a coward. I thought he was a superpower and didn't dare to do anything too much."

The third person lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to search him later to see what he has on him?"

The bearded man's expression became serious. "Don't do this. If he goes back and complains, we will be in trouble too."

"I think that boy is so delicate and tender, he might not dare..." He suddenly stopped talking halfway, his eyeballs rolled up strangely, and his voice was dry and hoarse, "I... I can't control my body anymore."

Before he finished speaking, his right fist smashed hard into his face.

Click~!

The sound of a broken nose was heard.

Then he slapped himself in the face again and again.

"What are you doing?" the bearded man shouted, and he and another man immediately tried to grab the other person.

As soon as his arm touched the other person, the other man smashed his nose with a punch, and blood spurted out of his nose.

"Damn it!" The bearded captain sensed something was wrong and reached out to draw his gun.

The hand that took out the pistol suddenly froze, and the wrist turned beyond the physiological limit. The cold barrel of the gun was stuffed into his mouth, and the taste of rust spread in his mouth.

Click~!

The sound of the safety pin popping off came to my ears.

The bearded captain opened his eyes wide. Besides the whistling wind, he could hear the dripping sound of water, and the warm liquid flowed down his inner thighs.

“Have mercy…!” the bearded man squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

The barrel of the gun was pulled out and thrown far away with great force, and the body regained movement and collapsed to the ground.

"Ghost, there's a ghost!" The bearded man cried out in horror and got on the tricycle.

The other two also hurriedly got into the car and fled.

……

When you push open the glass door of the museum, a smell mixed with rust and preservatives hits you in the face.

The sound of the soles of shoes hitting the ground echoed in the empty exhibition hall.

Wu Heng was the only one in the entire exhibition hall, and the room full of display cabinets and bronze artifacts still gave people a weird feeling.

The China Media Group and several large bases are advocating the protection of cultural relics, and each base is also trying its best to preserve existing museums.

It is not necessary to preserve cultural relics, but occupied museums need to be protected as much as possible.

Wait for headquarters to come and collect all the cultural relics.

"This place..." The queen's soul was dazed at the door, her eyes fixed on the bronze tripod in the center of the hall.

Then he was immediately attracted by other bronze artifacts. From the constantly swaying soul fire, it could be seen that the other party was very excited.

Then, it flew back immediately.

Her eyes were full of suspicion as she stared at him intently.

Wu Heng coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at. "Don't give me that. I'm not interested in female ghosts. I'm willing to accept the loss."

The queen hesitated for a long time before she said, "You are from this world. This is why you can level up so quickly, right? You made a bet with me because you knew you would win."

"I will explain the reason to you later. Just tell me whether I won this time. A noble person like you should not go back on your words!" Wu Heng said.

The Empress's soul was shaking violently, and after a long while she said weakly, "You win."

Wu Heng also smiled, "Do you like any of them? We can borrow any of them you want, and take them out to have a look when you want to see them later."

"Borrow?" The queen raised her eyebrows. "Can I take it away?"

"There's no one here anyway, and no one will notice if we take him away," Wu Heng said.

The queen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Where can you find a hero like you? Let me pick a few."

Then, he selected three bronze utensils, Wu Heng opened the glass cabinet, and put them into the space ring.

The empress flew to a bronze square statue and stared at it for a long time.

"Do you want to take it away?" Wu Heng walked over.

The queen shook her head, "Forget it, just take what you just took."

"Okay, if you want to see me again in the future I'll bring you over." Wu Heng said from the side.

One person and one soul walked around the museum.

After walking out of the museum, Wu Heng looked at the empty outside and asked, "Where are they?"

Glenda didn't say anything, just looked up at the sky. Bernie said, "I saw them driving away. We're done. Do we still need to say hello to them?"

"No need for that! Let's go, let's go back too." Wu Heng said, releasing the teleportation spell and leaving.

……

Temple.

Under the towering dome, stained glass filtered the skylight and poured down, casting colorful stigmata on the white ground.

Between the towering columns, the holy veil hung down, and priests stood on both sides holding ritual tools, and low chanting echoed in the air.

At this time, the chanting stopped.

The heavy gilded door opened, and a figure stood against the light.

The chanting started again, and a figure slowly walked in.

He wore a papal tiara and his luxurious papal robes trailed across the ground.

Step by step towards the Pope's throne.

When he turned around and sat down, the clergy below saluted respectfully, "Your Holiness!"

The new Pope slowly raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "Bring the information about Treasure Island here."

"Yes!"
