"Sir, there's a communication being sent from within the game. It's trying to communicate with us!"
The staff in charge of monitoring the game core immediately reported nervously when Xuan's last sentence ended.
"Look!
Am I right? The person who wants the ransom is here! "Xuan smiled bitterly." Connect the communication! "
"Yes!"
The researcher fiddled with the equipment for a while, and the projector projected the image of a person … It was an eight feet tall, with a jade-like face, strong and handsome, dressed in cloth clothes, and floating in the air like an immortal … It was hard to imagine that such an elegant person was actually the mastermind behind the entire incident.
"You've finally shown yourself?
I thought you weren't planning on meeting us! "
Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the mastermind finally show himself. He wasn't afraid of the sky-high price. He was only afraid that the mastermind wouldn't talk. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to find a breakthrough.
"I am Jiangdong's Zhou Gongjin. Greetings, heroes!"
The first thing the mastermind did after showing himself was to bow to Xuan and the others. What an elegant young master.
"Ah, so it's Zhou Yu from the 300 Miles of Burning Red Cliff. I didn't expect the mastermind to be you!"
Xuan revealed an extremely shocked expression after listening to his self-introduction. In the end, it all turned into a sigh.
"That's all in the past. A real man doesn't mention his past achievements. You don't have to mock me anymore!" Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"Alright!
Since you've shown yourself, why don't you tell us the truth. What do you want, Governor Zhou?
Why are you willing to release so many souls from the game? "Xuan asked helplessly.
"Why don't you listen to a story before Zhou Yu states his conditions?" Zhou Yu changed the topic and started telling a story.
However, with so many souls in his hands, Guhan and the others didn't even have the right to refuse. They could only listen to Zhou Yu patiently.
"When Zhou Yu first came to this world, he knew nothing about it."
Zhou Yu said slowly, "When Yu arrived here through the Dimensional Gate, someone happened to be beside Yu. After that, he ordered the woman beside him to attack Yu without any explanation."
"In the end, he was no match for Yu and his woman was easily subdued by Yu.
However, Yu didn't hurt this human and the woman. Instead, he released them and asked in a friendly manner if this was a matter of the world. "
"So, this human told Yu that Yu came to the future world, and that the future world had already been destroyed by a visitor who traveled through time and dimensions like me. That's why he attacked Yu without any explanation, because we are natural enemies."
"But I don't have any enmity towards him. Instead, I sympathize with the suffering of the humans in this future world. I plan to fight alongside the humans.
Yu told this to the human, and he was very emotional. He apologized to me repeatedly, saying that he had wronged Yu, and even wanted to make up for his mistake! "
"After that, Yu and he fought side by side, killed Yuan Kou, and finally arrived at the gates of Yanjing City."
At this point, Zhou Yu's face suddenly revealed an extremely pained and sinister expression. "But that guy betrayed Yu. He told Yu that he would first report Yu's situation to your lord and give Yu a legal identity."
"But what Yu waited for was indeed an attack from five humans … Those humans all had the same strength as Yu. Yu was no match for them at all. Yu could only wait to be captured!"
"In the beginning, Yu treated you as his compatriots and treated himself as a member of the human race. He expressed Yu's feelings to you as an apostle … However, you trapped Yu in a cage and continuously conducted all kinds of cruel experiments on Yu's body … Yu suffered all kinds of torture from you humans. His body was mutilated and his face was ruined. Even Yu's dantian was shattered by you … Yu is ruthless!
Yu wanted nothing more than to kill all of you. Yu swore to the heavens that when the river flows in reverse, it will be the time of Yu's revenge. "
"Yu, let me ask you. Do you have a clear conscience when you treat someone who truly cares for his compatriots like this?"
At this point, Zhou Yu no longer had the demeanor of a gentleman. Instead, his face was twisted with endless hatred.
"Great Sun Sword Immortal … did our Yanjing City really do such a thing?"
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Liunian Ling also showed an expression of anger. She could not imagine that her ancestors would actually do such a shameless thing.
So she immediately sought confirmation from the Great Sun Sword Immortal.
"… Sigh …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal sighed helplessly. "Indeed, such a thing did happen, but that was over 600 years ago.
At that time, the battle of the Alps had just ended, and humans were at their most hateful towards Yuan Kou. Unlike your Liu Nian family, who always maintained rationality towards Yuan Kou, we only had one attitude towards Yuan Kou … That was to kill anyone we saw. We did not believe that Yuan Kou had any good intentions. Moreover, if not for the recent appearance of Li Bai, we would not have known that Yuan Kou had not been polluted when he first came to this world. "
"At that time, the sword-bearer thought that Zhou Yu was pretending to be kind and wanted to enter the human city to destroy it. That was why he asked the five immortal sword bearers to work together to capture him after entering the city!" The Great Sun Sword Immortal explained.
"So you admit to it!
You admit to the sins you committed then! "
Hearing the Great Sun Sword Immortal's words, Zhou Yu let out a few long, bitter sighs. "But it's fine if you killed Yu directly. Why?
Why did you torture Yu like that? "
"Because we knew very little about Cosmos Level Bandits and Universe Level Bandits back then, and it was almost impossible for us to capture a Universe Level Bandit alive. But you took the initiative to deliver yourself to the city gates, and were easily captured by us. From the standpoint of us humans, it was only natural to use you for research!" said the Great Sun Sword Immortal.
"Good!
What a great 'natural'. I, Zhou Gongjin, have learned my lesson! "
Zhou Yu's expression hardened as he gritted his teeth. "But you miscalculated. You did not expect Yu to have a chance to survive."
"I don't know how long Yu was tortured by you. I only know that you tried to use Yu's soul for some experiment. You completely destroyed Yu's body and tried to isolate Yu's soul … But your experiment failed. Yu's soul dissipated, and Yu was finally freed from your torture."
"Great Sun Sword Immortal!
Why did I not know about this from start to finish? "
Hearing this, Xuan seemed to have reached the end of his patience. He turned around and questioned the Great Sun Sword Immortal.
"Don't forget, I, Xuan, am also a Yuan Kou. Why didn't you capture me for research?"
"This … Inspector Xuan, aren't you asking the obvious?
You are the comrade-in-arms of the Sword Ancestor, we would never suspect you … As for not telling you, because this is a matter between two different research institutes, we have no need to report this to you! "The Great Sun Sword Immortal explained weakly.
"Good!
That's how you treat me!
Didn't you just say that the three of us should be honest with each other? You still hide such an important matter from me! "
Xuan snorted coldly and continued, "Then let me guess. If I'm not wrong, the last time Zhou Yu conducted his experiment was when our biological brains conducted the Neutral Field Experiment at the same time, right?"
"Inspector Xuan, how do you know about this?" The Great Sun Sword Immortal asked in shock.
"Of course, the container that imprisoned the biological brain would only open during the Neutral Field Experiment. Only then would the soul fragments have a chance to enter the biological brain.
If I'm not wrong, Governor Zhou, you are the one who entered the biological brain, am I right? "Xuan said.
"I don't know if you were conducting some Neutral Field Experiment at the time, but when one of my soul fragments was about to completely dissipate, it was absorbed into this brain.
After that, I hid in the brain to recuperate, using the soul fragments to strengthen myself. In the end, I found a chance, a chance for revenge! "Zhou Yu said through gritted teeth.
"No wonder the report said that the dimensional whirlpool didn't appear after your death. The researchers guessed that it was because of a special soul experiment that caused your death to be different. Your soul was completely destroyed, so the dimensional whirlpool didn't open … Now it seems that it wasn't because your soul completely dissipated, but because your soul survived!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal slapped himself in the face … Even though this was done by the ancestors of Yanjing City 600 years ago, the Great Sun Sword Immortal, the chairman of the Yanjing City Sword Council, felt his face burning when he thought about it.
At this point, the truth of everything was finally clear. It turned out that the accident this time was caused by Yanjing City, or rather, the entire human race 600 years ago.
It was just that the people 600 years ago didn't expect that the revenge would come from the people 600 years later!
"Fine!
Now that things have been made clear, state your conditions!
Governor Zhou Yu! "
Xuan's expression calmed down. He looked at Zhou Yu with bright eyes. "I'll say it again. Since you're willing to communicate with us, there must be something you want. State your conditions. As long as we can do it, we will satisfy you!"
"Is that so?
Can you really satisfy me? "
Zhou Yu sneered and looked at Gu Han who had been silent all this while. "What if I want his body?"
"Actually, Zhou Yu hasn't changed his original intention. Zhou Yu still wants to be a proper human!" Zhou Yu smiled.
