No one had expected such an unexpected situation to happen at the last and most critical moment. The dignified guardian of the Lunar Star was poisoned at the critical moment when he was about to pass on his position, and he passed out with no one knowing if he was dead or alive.
Fortunately, modern medicine was sufficiently developed, and there was also the existence of something as abnormal as a medical pod.
Therefore, Yaoguang was sent into the medical pod immediately. According to the medical pod, it was an extremely troublesome virus. Even with the power of the medical pod, it would take more than five days to neutralize all the toxins.
However, this outcome made everyone heave a sigh of relief. It did not matter whether it was five days or fifty days, as long as Yaoguang's life was not threatened, it was enough.
As for the problem of Yaoguang's lack of combat power, the sword-bearers were not so concerned.
Anyway, now that there was Guhan, who was much more abnormal than Yaoguang, as long as Guhan was around, not only could they make up for the lost Yaoguang's combat power, but they would also have more than before. Hence, Yaoguang did not seem so important anymore.
"Strange!
Why would someone poison Lord Yaoguang?
He has already decided to step down and will leave Shanhai Pass in three months. If the spy wanted to poison someone, he should have poisoned Guhan. Why would he do it to Lord Yaoguang?
This is really strange! "
After calming down, all the famous sword-bearers present could not help but have such a question in their hearts.
Yes, Yaoguang was about to leave Shanhai Pass, and his threat to the Wu people was about to be reduced to a minimum. There was no need for the Wu people to take such a huge risk to poison Yaoguang. On the contrary, poisoning Guhan was what they should do. However, in the end, the one who was poisoned was Yaoguang, which puzzled them.
However, this question was not difficult to answer in Guhan's eyes. The reason why the Wu people poisoned Yaoguang was very simple. It was to delay the time for him to take over as the guardian of the Lunar Star.
Now that Yaoguang had entered the medical pod for treatment as they wished, Guhan could not drag Yaoguang out of the medical pod … Even if Guhan really did that, he could not wake the unconscious Yaoguang.
If Yaoguang had not taken the initiative to pull out the Lunar Star's Great Zhou Tian Star Hour Banner, then Guhan would not have been able to inherit the position of the Lunar Star's guardian at all. Unless Guhan killed Yao Guang now and destroyed the old Lunar Star's Great Zhou Tian Star Hour Banner, only then would Guhan be able to inherit the new Lunar Star's Great Zhou Tian Star Hour Banner and become the new guardian of the Lunar Star.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Guhan calculated, he still missed one move. He did not think that the Wu people would choose to directly poison Yaoguang. Because of Yaoguang's poisoning, the Wu people finally achieved their goal. They successfully delayed for five days, which was enough for the remaining nine Great Sorcerers to be resurrected.
… …
"I have investigated the origin of this batch of wine. This wine was stored in the warehouse of the Taiyin Star Garrison about thirty years ago.
It has always been stored in a relatively hidden place in the Taiyin Garrison until today, when Yaoguang specifically asked me to look for some old wine, it was dug out from the depths of the warehouse.
Because the entire warehouse has a complete surveillance system, I have even checked all the videos frame by frame. Therefore, I can guarantee you that this bottle of wine has not been opened before it left the warehouse, "Tomono Kakaze said very seriously.
"Then what about on the way?
On the way from the warehouse to the conference room, could someone have poisoned the wine? "Guhan asked after thinking for a while.
"On the way from the warehouse to the conference room, only the maid who was in charge of collecting the wine had the chance to poison the wine. From the time the maid touched the wine to the time she handed it to Yaoguang, a total of 21 minutes and 32 seconds had passed. During these 21 minutes and 32 seconds, 19 minutes and 16 seconds were under surveillance, and the rest of the time was in the blind spot of the surveillance. Therefore, I can't guarantee that the maid did not poison the wine," Tomono Kakaze answered.
"But the maid is already dead!"
Guhan smiled bitterly. As soon as Yaoguang was poisoned, Guhan sent people to arrest all the maids, trying to find the culprit.
However, when the famous sword-bearers found the maids, one of the maids who poured the wine for Yaoguang had already died from the poison. The clues had been cut off, but it was almost certain that the maid was the one who poisoned the wine, and the maid had obviously been killed by the spy.
"What about that Zhou Zijian?
He is a serious suspect. I want you to look through his background immediately, as well as all the information since he entered Shanhai Pass. See if there are any important clues. "Guhan quickly told her about Zhou Zijian, who was a serious suspect.
"Alright!" Tomono Kakaze accepted the order and left.
As Guhan had asked for all the information related to Zhou Zijian, the amount of information was quite large. If they were to use manual methods to look through all the information, it would probably take at least two to three days to look through all the information.
However, because Tomono Kakaze was the highest level of artificial intelligence, her speed of looking through the information was quite fast. In less than ten minutes, Tomono Kakaze brought back the results of her work.
"Guhan, I've looked through all the videos about Zhou Zijian more than ten times. I've looked through almost all the videos since Zhou Zijian entered Shanhai Pass for a year and a half.
I can guarantee you that at least within the range of the videos, there is nothing strange about Zhou Zijian at all. He did not reveal any flaws. "
"What about him and the maid?
Did they have any contact? "Guhan asked again.
"Absolutely not. All the maids are not allowed to leave the Taiyin Star Garrison, and the number of times Zhou Zijian has entered the Taiyin Star Garrison can be counted on one hand.
Since there are many surveillance cameras in the public areas of the Taiyin Star Garrison, almost all of Zhou Zijian's actions are under surveillance. He always leaves after a meeting, and he has never stayed in the Taiyin Star Garrison for more than a minute. It's impossible for him to have any contact with the maid, "Tomono Kakaze answered solemnly.
"In other words, this Zhou Zijian has the perfect evidence to prove his innocence!" Guhan's expression was solemn. "But do you think that's possible?
My main suspect is perfect to the point where he doesn't reveal any flaws. Isn't this the biggest flaw? "
"Are you saying that this Zhou Zijian is in disguise?
He purposely put on such a perfect performance? "Tomono Kakaze asked.
"Zhina-chan, let me ask you. Can you monitor the situation in Zhou Zijian's house?" Guhan asked again.
"I'm afraid that won't work. According to the law, every sword-wielder's home is a place of absolute privacy. No public surveillance equipment is allowed to enter the sword-wielder's home. Therefore, other than the public areas in Zhou Zijian's Guardian Mansion, there are no surveillance equipment anywhere else. I can't monitor Zhou Zijian's situation in his own home," Tomono Kaekaze immediately replied.
"That's right. The Wu people have one more Grand Wizard who can open the Void Door.
Although the Guardian Mansion has a shielding device that can block the Void Energy, as long as Zhou Zijian can remove the shielding device in his house and open the Void Door, Zhou Zijian will be able to contact the Wu people through the Void Door. "
"Moreover, among the twelve Grand Wizards of the Wu people, Hou Yi has a special ability. He can place his target between the Void and reality. The recording and surveillance equipment won't be able to see the existence of the spell."
"Since he is in between the Void and reality, the shielding device that guards against the Void Door won't work.
At the same time, since Zhou Zijian is a human, the shielding device against the Wu people won't work. After the two are combined, the defense measures that the humans used to prevent the Wu people from sneaking into the central area will be rendered useless. Zhou Zijian can use this to hide from all the surveillance equipment and secretly contact the maidservants, passing on their plan to the maidservants, "Guhan said gloomily.
"Then everything makes sense. It seems like the spy is Zhou Zijian!"
Tomono Kakaze was a little emotional. "Anyway, Guhan has temporarily taken over the position of the Lunar Star Guardian. You can order Zhou Zijian to be arrested now. We have ways to make him tell the truth."
"No, there's no hurry to arrest him!"
Guhan shook his head. "His goal has been achieved. Arresting him now won't help. Besides, I don't think you'll be able to get the truth out of him.
It's better to keep him and monitor him strictly. "
"In three days, all the Grand Wizards will be resurrected, but we don't know what the Grand Wizards' goal is. Keeping this traitor might be useful when the time comes.
A spy has always been a double-edged sword. When he's not exposed, he's our deadliest threat. Once he's exposed, he'll be our best dagger to attack the enemy. "
"..." Hearing Guhan's words, Tomono Kakaze was silent for a while. Then, she said with some fear, "You humans are really scary. You can actually calculate so many things."
"There's nothing we can do. This is the way we humans survive, and it's also the way we humans die."
Guhan sighed. "No matter what, the Wu people will definitely launch another attack on humans in three days.
Immediately pass my order to all the sword bearers at the Famed Sword Level. Order them to rest and build up their strength in the next three days. At the same time, be on guard around them. All the food and drinks must be strictly tested. Make sure that no more people are killed because of poisoning.
It's best for them to only use the food stored in their dimensional pockets. They're not allowed to eat the food prepared by the Guardian Mansion. I'm afraid that the food might also be poisoned... "
Then, Guhan listed dozens of different precautions. He defended almost all the areas where the Wu people could launch a sneak attack. Then, he asked Tomono Kakaze to organize the precautions into detailed rules and distribute them to all the sword bearers through her personal terminal.
Then, he sent a request for help to the Shanhai Pass Management Committee, hoping that they could replenish all the sword bearers that were lost in the previous battle within three days. They also wanted to prepare at least a few thousand sword bearers.
These sword bearers would not fuse with the Zhou Tian Star's Hour Streamers for the time being. When the sword bearers were killed in the battle, they would be ordered to fuse with the Zhou Tian Star's Hour Streamers. This way, they could quickly fill up the gaps in the defense and maintain the battle line at full strength.
Unfortunately, this request was completely ignored by the Shanhai Pass Management Committee. It was not that the Shanhai Pass Management Committee did not take Guhan's request seriously. It was because they had carried out three rounds of conscription within the short span of six months. The number of sword bearers that could be conscripted had been greatly reduced. If another few thousand people were sent to Shanhai Pass, they might not even be able to guarantee the daily defense of the base cities.
For the sake of their own safety, the base cities could not send sword bearers into the bottomless pit that was Shanhai Pass anymore.
In conclusion, Guhan had done everything he could. Three days later, Guhan would have to face the greatest test in the history of Shanhai Pass.
