My Cell Game

in three days?

This is too fast!

Jiang Zuo didn't expect the emperor to be so anxious. Could it be that the emperor's blood death has reached the final stage and there are only a few days left?

The prince and leader on the other side also frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Asking Jiang Zuo to move to the Western Capital of Tonggu within three days was not discussed at the Xiaochao meeting just now, which is tantamount to saying that it was the emperor's own decision.

Even if you are in a hurry to seal the Ominous Crystal, there is no need to be so anxious, ten days and half a month is fine, why only give Jiang Zuo three days?

Jiang Zuo frowned and said, "Three days is a bit tight. Ten days is probably about the same."

The emperor interrupted Jiang Zuo and said, "If you need any help, the royal family will cooperate with you as much as possible."

Hearing that the other party had spoken to such an extent, Jiang Zuo thought for a while. Although the three days were a bit tight, for Jiang Zuo, it might not be an opportunity.

Jiang Zuo now holds two hole cards in his hand, the first is the Ominous Crystal, and the second is to cure the emperor's blood death disease.

To some extent, the second hole card is even more useful than the first one, and it has a greater effect on the emperor.

Besides, the other party also made some concessions. The royal family was willing to provide Jiang Zuo with as much help as possible, which was equivalent to Jiang Zuo hiring a moving company for free. It was a good deal for Jiang Zuo.

"Okay, I agree." Jiang Zuo said.

Seeing that Jiang Zuo agreed, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Jiang Zuo would take the opportunity to make another request. Logically, some explanations do not make sense, and the Judgment Sect and the prince will inevitably become suspicious.

After negotiating the main conditions, the main problem was solved, and the two had some informal conversations to maintain a superficially friendly and cooperative atmosphere.

This is also because the royal family wants to repair the relationship with Jiang Zuo. After all, the two sides in the blood tide are actually in a state of hostility. Follow-up conversations are a means of repairing the relationship.

However, the handling of the royal family in the blood tide also let Jiang Zuo see the methods of the royal family.

Although Jiang Zuo and the royal family were in a hostile relationship in the blood tide, the royal family did a good job on the surface. Even if they plot against Jiang Zuo, they acted as if they were helping Jiang Zuo.

Such as the alloy warehouse, the corrosion flow, and the intelligence officer are plotting Jiang Zuo behind the scenes, but on the surface, they are all helping Jiang Zuo.

Regardless of the facts, at least the surface work has been done.

Later, even if the two sides were torn apart, if it really counted, it was Jiang Zuo who snatched the corrosive water first and attacked the royal family first.

However, both sides tacitly did not mention this kind of matter, so they let it go.

After chatting for a while, the meeting came to an end. Neither party had a long conversation. After all, they wanted to move Jiang Zuo’s organization headquarters to Tungu Western Capital within three days. There was still a lot of work to be done. Both Jiang Zuo and the emperor would very busy.

Outside the hut where the secret contact was made, Song Shi paced back and forth outside, with a disturbed expression on his face.

The dialogue between the young man and the royal family may determine the fate of Song Shi and those intelligence officers.

If the dialogue fails and Jiang Zuo and the royal family go to war, then Song Shi and the others' lives will be in jeopardy.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the people in the communication cabin opened it from the inside.

Song Shi suddenly trembled all over, nervously looking in the direction of the door.

Jiang Zuo came out with the judge who was guarding him. When he saw Song Shi who was nervous outside the door, Jiang Zuo smiled at him, patted Song Shi on the shoulder, and said, "I admire your talent very much. You will Get a good treatment, I hope you will not let me down."

In the conversation just now, neither side mentioned these intelligence officers, but the emperor did not mention it, so the meaning is obvious, and it is a tacit consent that these intelligence officers are under Jiang Zuo's command.

Hearing what Jiang Zuo said, Song Shi understood that the royal family made a compromise and gave up the command of these intelligence officers. From now on, they will serve Jiang Zuo.

Thinking of this, Song Shi couldn't help feeling a little complicated. He didn't know much about Jiang Zuo, but Song Shi still had some understanding of Jiang Zuo's power.

As far as Song Shi knew, Jiang Zuo now only had the hospital stronghold.

Can a force with only a stronghold of the hospital compete with the royal family that controls the entire empire?

This kind of confusion is not unique to Song Shi. Many people in the hospital base also have the same worries.

Jiang Zuo saw Song Shi's worry, he smiled kindly at Song Shi, patted Song Shi's shoulder again, and said: "It's okay, I'll give you time to think about it, see you again when you think about it. I."

Jiang Zuo is not worried about the future. The confrontation between the two organizations is not simply a comparison of scale.

If they are all relatively large and small, then there will be no dark horses that come from behind.

Jiang Zuo now has the weaknesses of the two royal families in his hands, and generally speaking, he even has the upper hand.

As the two sides established a cooperative relationship, the armored forces outside Nanyang City retreated tens of kilometers again and lifted the siege of Nanyang City.

However, this armored force did not return to Tungu Western Capital, but was stationed in nearby cities of Nanyang City, such as Lindong City and other cities. Judging from the general trend, the overall situation is still surrounding Nanyang City.

The royal family is indeed impeccable in doing things, and the scenes are well done, but the overall strategy for Nanyang City is not relaxed.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Zuo wants to go to the Western Capital of Tungu. Otherwise, under the blockade and invisible siege of the royal family, it is impossible for Jiang Zuo's organization to develop with only a hospital stronghold and the destroyed Nanyang City. .

As the armored forces lifted the siege, the royal family's engineers began to enter Nanyang City one after another, including cleaning the streets and highways in Nanyang City, and rebuilding a small airport in Nanyang City.

Because Deadpool's targets are mostly people, the damage to buildings is not too big, so the speed of cleaning roads and airports is very fast.

The road outside the hospital base looked seriously damaged, but after removing the corpses on the road, and removing the damaged vehicles and some sundries such as glass, the road was basically well preserved and can be opened to traffic normally. .

The runway of the airport is even better preserved. Because every city in the empire is basically closed to each other, there is very little communication between cities, so there are not many planes at the airport. When the blood tide came, no plane took off, and no plane was on the runway. be destroyed.

The entire airport runway has very little debris such as glass and building debris. After a little cleaning, it can be put into use immediately.

As the airport in Nanyang City was cleared out, the transport planes of the royal army began to take off from the airport in Lindong City to fly to the airport in Nanyang City.

These transport planes are one of the assistance provided by the royal family to Jiang Zuo. Of course, the transport planes are definitely not for Jiang Zuo, but only to help Jiang Zuo airlift personnel and supplies.

Hospital base.

Jiang Zuo was drinking tea in the room, with Shu Ran sitting beside him.

After taking two sips of tea, Jiang Zuo put the teacup aside, and asked Shu Ran, "Shu Ran, do you know Tungu Western Capital?"

Shu Ran's two short legs were dangling by the chair. After hearing Jiang Zuo's question, she raised her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know."

For Shu Ran's answer, Jiang Zuo was a little surprised. In Jiang Zuo's view, although Shu Ran could not be said to be omniscient, he seemed to know a lot about the past.

Like the eyes of the array, the blood tide, and the ominous crystal, these are all things that happened a long time ago, and Jiang Zuo learned about these situations from Shu Ran.

Therefore, in Jiang Zuo's view, Shu Ran, who came from a mysterious background, should have a good understanding of what happened a long time ago.

And Tonguxi Capital, as the ancient capital of the empire, has a history of hundreds of years, which should be regarded as a long time ago. Shu Ran should know something about Tonguxi, so Jiang Zuo wanted to inquire about it from Shu Ran. The Situation of Tungu Western Capital.

Unexpectedly, Shu Ran couldn't explain clearly.

As if seeing Jiang Zuo's slight surprise, Shu Ran added: "Actually, I don't know much about Tonguxi Capital than you do. Well, maybe I don't know as much as you do. I only know that Tonguxi is the capital of the empire. , there is a big Japanese river in it, and then there are the two main forces of the royal family and the trial sect. Well, there is nothing else."

Jiang Zuo couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help asking: "I remember that you know the past very well, the history of Tungu Western Capital has been around for a long time, have you never heard of any secret news?"

"A long time? Do you mean five hundred years?" Shu Ran rolled her eyes, which seemed to say that five hundred years is not a long time at all, "I only have a vague impression of longer memories."

"How long is longer?"

"I can't remember clearly, I only have a vague impression, it should be a long, long time ago."

"What else do you know? Can you tell me?" Jiang Zuo asked curiously.

From the appearance of Shu Ran to the present, Jiang Zuo has been worrying about his survival. First he treated the blood death disease, then the blood tide, and then the ominous crystal. In just over a month, there have been so many incidents one after another. The crisis left Jiang Zuo with no time to care about others, and he didn't know much about Shu Ran's past.

Now that he finally had a moment of respite, Jiang Zuo also temporarily escaped from the oppression of death, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Shu Ran who was always by his side.

Shu Ran thought about it seriously, then looked at Jiang Zuo seriously, and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Zuo almost spit out a mouthful of tea. After thinking about it for so long, he answered four words——I don't know?

Shu Ran explained: "To tell you the truth, my memory is very chaotic. I do remember some things from a long time ago, but these memories are fragments. Some memories may be recalled.

For example, the array eye, the array eye appeared in Nanyang City, and I was in Nanyang City. When the array eye was about to appear, I recalled this part of the memory and helped you get the things in the array eye.

There are also blood tides and ominous crystals. I am in Nanyang City, and when the two are about to appear, my memory will be revived with their appearance. I have basically told you everything I know. up. "

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo nodded slightly. He felt that what Shu Ran said should be true. After all, Shu Ran was on Jiang Zuo's side. Jiang Zuo's blood death was all thanks to Shu Ran, and Jiang Zuo was spared. Yu Yi died.

Suddenly, Jiang Zuo thought of something. The first time he met Shu Ran, it was the night when he just suffered from blood death. He and Shu Ran met for the first time.

When they met for the first time, Shu Ran once said that she could cure Jiang Zuo's blood death, but Jiang Zuo had to pay a certain price.

What is the price?

Up to now, Jiang Zuo has never heard Shu Ran mention it. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Zuo couldn't help asking:

"Shu Ran, do you still remember when we first met, you said that I would pay you a certain price for curing me of blood death, so what is the price? Can you tell me now?

You cured my blood death disease, and now I have the strength to wrestle with the royal family, so can I pay the price now? "

Seeing that Jiang Zuo brought it up, Shu Ran was a little surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Zuo to keep this matter in mind, which also showed that Jiang Zuo was not the kind of person who crossed rivers and demolished bridges, which moved Shu Ran a little.

However, Shu Ran shook her head and said, "You are still unable to pay the price, or the time has not yet come."

"May I know what the price is?"

Seeing Jiang Zuo's continuous questioning, Shu Ran decided to tell Jiang Zuo after thinking about it.

She looked at Jiang Zuo with a pleading look in her eyes. This was the first time she showed an expression like "please help me" in front of Jiang Zuo.

Shu Ran said word by word, "Don't draw your sword."

"What?" Jiang Zuo froze for a moment, but didn't understand.

The guess in his mind may be to help Shu Ran regain something, or complete some mission, but don't draw the sword? What does it mean?

This didn't seem to be taking back something, nor was it completing any task. With Shu Ran's expression, it seemed more like a kind of pleading.

"Don't draw any sword?" Jiang Zuo asked suspiciously, and then added, "Don't worry, since you saved my life, I will do what I say and will not draw the sword. But before that, I will Wondering what that means."

Shu Ran shook her head again, and sighed softly: "Actually, I don't know what it means. Do you still remember what I said just now? My memory is fuzzy and chaotic fragments. Only those who come into contact with the corresponding The memory will emerge only when stimulated.

When I met you for the first time, such a picture appeared in my mind. Since you asked, I will tell you.

In that picture, the background is the dark sky, the whole world is a dark, scarlet scene, the sky is full of purple thunder and lightning, and the hot magma is rolling on the ground. If I have to describe it, it is a hellish doomsday on earth .

In the picture scroll of doomsday, there are only two moving figures in the world, one is a person whose face cannot be seen clearly, but I am sure this person is you, and the other is a huge monster as big as a mountain and covered in scarlet.

You are fighting this monster with a sword, the sword still in its sheath. "

Speaking of this, Shu Ran stopped, and Jiang Zuo couldn't help asking: "And then?"

"Then the scene came to the end of the battle. With the unsheathed sword in your hand, you rushed towards the monster as big as a mountain, and then jumped, on top of the monster's head, pulled out the sword from the scabbard. Sword, swung the sword to cut down on the monster."

After Shu Ran finished speaking, Jiang Zuo fell silent, and this memory of Shu Ran gave Jiang Zuo a lot of shock.

Why, why did she appear in Shu Ran's memory?

What Jiang Zuo can deduce now is that Shu Ran may have come from a long time ago.

But what happened when he appeared in Shu Ran's memory? Shu Ran has himself in his memory, could it be that he is from the same era as Shu Ran?

No, this doesn't match my identity as a time traveler, the logic doesn't make sense.

It has only been about seven years since Jiang Zuo traveled to this world, how could he be in the same era as Shu Ran?

Could it be the former owner of this body? Are he and Shu Ran from the same era? Shu Ran mistook Jiang Zuo, the traverser, for the former owner of this body?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zuo remembered what seemed to be a loophole in Shu Ran's words, "Shu Ran, you said you couldn't see that person's face clearly, so why are you still sure that person is me?"

Shu Ran said just now, "a person who can't see the face clearly", but Shu Ran is very sure that that person is Jiang Zuo, how is Shu Ran sure?

Shu Ran nodded affirmatively, and said: "I don't think it is absolutely accurate to identify a person from their appearance. For thousands of years, there have been too many people who look similar, and a person's appearance will vary at different ages. Something has changed.

I identify this person as yours through my soul. Everyone's soul is, like a fingerprint, unique. I can see his soul clearly through his body, I'm sure his soul is exactly the same as yours, he is you! "

After receiving such an affirmative answer from Shu Ran, Jiang Zuo's doubts deepened. Jiang Zuo is a soul from time travel, and he is different from the soul of his former owner.

If according to what Shu Ran said, that soul was Jiang Zuo's soul, then it would be even more inexplicable.

Jiang Zuo's soul came through time seven years ago, how could it appear in Shu Ran's memory? How long ago did that happen, at least thousands of years ago, and the time when Jiang Zuo traveled here did not match at all.

There must be something wrong with this!

Jiang Zuo thought about it, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

In desperation, Jiang Zuo can only bury this confusion in his heart first, he still has a lot of time and opportunities, he believes that with his understanding of the secrets of the past, these confusions will eventually be solved.

Immediately, Jiang Zuo asked again: "Then what does this memory of yours have to do with not drawing the sword? Does it mean that I should not draw the sword and slash at the monster in the end?"

Shu Ran shook her head: "I don't know if that's the case. When this memory emerged, two voices kept saying, don't draw the sword, don't draw the sword. All I know is, don't draw the sword. Very important."

"What are those two voices like? Can you recognize whose voice it is?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"One of them is my voice." Shu Ran said frankly.
