Chapter 999: One Soul and Two Bodies
The current Shi Zixuan is very clear about his current situation - under the fence, so Liu Xing can feel that Shi Zixuan is very active after joining his group.
Therefore, Liu Xing can be sure that if he tells Shi Zixuan about Jing Yi Zhile finding a shadow warrior, then Shi Zixuan will definitely have thoughts about that Jing Yi Zhile in the community, and want to determine whether he is true or false.
Of course, Liu Xing estimated that the current Shi Zixuan was also eager to try, and was ready to enter the community to check what Jing Yi Zhile was doing, so Liu Xing also wanted to tell Shi Zixuan about the shadow martial artist to reduce the pressure on Shi Zixuan, after all, there was actually about a seventy percent chance that Jing Yi Zhile in the community was a shadow martial artist.
Judging from the tasks that Ii Naoraku has undertaken over the years, the old ruler is still quite optimistic about him, so Ii Naoraku should be regarded as the best of the believers of the old ruler, and it is unlikely that he will risk his life at this time and leave Kakaya to come to the city of Kagoshima City.
Thinking of the end, Liu Xing still decided to send a text message to Shi Zixuan, telling her that Jing Yi Zhile might have found a shadow martial artist, because Liu Xing actually wanted to know whether that Jing Yi Zhile in the community was real or fake.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xing's text message was sent, Shi Zixuan replied with two words, "Understood".
Obviously, Shi Zixuan is preparing to enter the community.
Putting down the phone, Liu Xing continued to watch TV.
More than an hour has passed like this, and Liu Xing's mobile phone has not moved, whether it is Zhang Jingxu and others, Li Hanxing duo, or Matsui Yui and Shi Zixuan, they have not sent any more messages to Liu Xing.
After making sure that there was no problem with the mobile phone and that the battery was very sufficient, Liu Xing felt a little embarrassed while breathing a sigh of relief, because judging from the current situation, that Jing Yi Naoraku should not have come to find Jing Yi's trio.
If that Ii Naoraku made a special trip from Kaya to the upscale community in the downtown area of Kagoshima City in order to meet with the Ii trio, then the Ii trio, who are now entangled by Shimazu Hiromichi, should find an opportunity to send a message to Ii Naoraku and tell him that they can't come to contact him for the time being; Or find an opportunity to "send" the guest Shimazu Hiromichi, and then hurriedly go to that high-end community to meet with Naoraku Ii.
But now nothing has happened, everything is calm.
So Liu Xing's guess is likely to be wrong.
Liu Xing shook his head, although his guess was wrong, it was also good news, at least it was sure that the Jing family had not thrown themselves into the arms of the old ruler.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about whether to take a shower, Li Hanxing suddenly called Liu Xing.
As soon as Liu Xing picked up the phone, Li Hanxing said directly: "Shimazu Hiromichi and Jingyi have left the room now, it seems that they are planning to go somewhere together, so Sun Huiwen and I are going to follow them, Liu Xing, do you want to come together?" ”
Could it be that the Ii trio is planning to take Shimazu Hiromichi with them to find Ii Naoraku?
This should be unlikely, after all, it is unlikely that the Ii trio will bring the "feud" of Shimazu Hiromichi to meet Ii Naoraku, unless they are ready to solve Shimazu Hiromichi, but Shimazu Hiromichi is also a strong candidate for the next successor to the Shimazu family, so a group of members of your Ii family have eliminated the candidate for the head of the Shimazu family on the territory of the Shimazu family, is this not clear that it is a complete war with the Shimazu family?
At that time, no matter whether this Ii trio is dead or alive, at least they will definitely not be able to stay in Kagoshima City.
Unless...
Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the trio of Ii were going to use Shimazu Hiromichi as a shield to attract Shimazu Takeshi's attention.
As long as the trio had done their homework before coming, they would have known how bad the relationship between Hiromichi Shimazu and Takeshi Shimazu was, and that their party would be watched by all walks of life when they arrived in Kagoshima City.
So the solution they came up with now was to use Shimazu Hiromichi as a shield, and leave the hotel in the name of Shimazu Hiromichi and go to a crowded place such as a bar, so that they could find a suitable opportunity to create chaos and then slip away.
Of course, Liu Xing's speculation is still based on the premise that the Jing Yi family has taken refuge in the old ruler.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, you can go and monitor the trio of Shimazu Hiromichi and Jingyi, because I may go to other places later, and there are other important things to deal with, but if you find anything, remember to contact me as soon as possible." ”
"No problem, we're following Shimazu Hiromichi and their car now, and it looks like they're planning to head west." Li Hanxing immediately replied, "Then let's do this first, and we'll contact you then." ”
West?
Liu Xing clicked on the map of Kagoshima City and looked at it, and found that there are many famous bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues in the northwest part of Kagoshima City. Or maybe it's really like Liu Xing thinks.
Liu Xing just put down the phone, but the phone suddenly rang again.
However, to Liu Xing's great surprise, the person who called this time turned out to be Sonoda Zhuri.
Could it be that something happened over there in Osaka?
Liu Xing hurriedly connected the phone.
"Liu Xing, can you get through Yin En's phone now?"
On the other end of the phone, it was Sawada Yayin who was talking.
However, as soon as Sawada Yayin opened her mouth, Liu Xing knew why she called, "Oh, here's the thing, before Shimazu Hiromichi found a foreign aid by himself, and then put on a good show for us, and took Yin Eun's phone away by the way, so it is normal that Miss Sawada you can't get through Yin Eun's phone now, but Miss Sawada, you don't have to worry, Yin Eun's current situation is very good, but his current task is different from mine, so we are not together." ”
After listening to Liu Xing's explanation, Sawada Yayin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see, I said why I can't contact Yin Eun's guy, I thought you had an accident; That matter is not a matter of work, Liu Xing, you will help me bring a message to Yin En later, just say that I have already helped him find out about the matter he asked me about before. ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Xing asked with some curiosity.
If nothing else, what Yoon Eun asked Sawada to inquire about should be related to this side quest.
"That's right, the other day Yoon Eun asked me to investigate the temple that Shimazu Hiromichi often visits, and it took me several days to find out some information about that temple." Sawada Yayin said seriously: "That nameless temple should have only settled in the local area in the last thirty years or so, and it has not been visited by ordinary believers, so the ordinary residents around it have complained about this temple, thinking that this temple may be selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it is a theme mountain villa built by a wealthy businessman for himself." ”
"However, although the temple will not accept ordinary people's visits, it will take out all kinds of things to offer condolences every time the local area is affected by a disaster, so the locals have nothing to say, and they usually just treat this temple as if it does not exist; But in recent years, many young people who want to be Internet celebrities want to take pictures of the interior of this temple, and plan to use the gimmick of 'temple that is never open to the public' to make it popular, but when these young people enter the temple area, they will find that their mobile phones have no signal, and the video recorder will also have a snowflake screen. ”
"Obviously, this temple has installed various interference devices on its own ground, so that those young people have returned in vain, but this also makes some young people more curious about the situation in the temple, so in the end, three like-minded young people are ready to visit the temple at night, but the three young people have just set off not long ago, and according to the time, it is enough for them to walk back and forth from the starting point to the temple, so they walked back directly with a blank face, and left with their companions who were waiting in place."
After leaving the temple, the three young people slowly returned to normal, indicating that when they first came to the temple, they were frightened by the temple in the dark, it was an indescribable sense of fear, which made them want to escape uncontrollably, but before they escaped, they saw one thing, that is, a huge bronze bell placed in the back of the temple, the bronze bell must be more than five meters high, about two or three meters in diameter, and strangely two young people felt that the bronze bell was motionless, Another young man felt that the bell was shaking gently all the time. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but say, "Is there a problem with that bronze bell?" Are they actually magic items? ”
Sawada Yayin replied seriously: "That's right, the tinplate bronze bell is indeed a magic prop, and it is a product of an ancient civilization that has been lost for more than a thousand years, and it is said to be related to the Isi people. ”
"Isles?!" Liu Xing frowned and said, "Aren't the Isis people playing with high technology, when did they learn to cast bells?" ”
"The thing is actually like this, this bronze bell was made by an ancient civilization that has long been extinct, and the last king of this ancient civilization was once possessed by the Iss, and he still retained a part of his memories after he was unpossessed, and these memories included all kinds of black technologies he had seen on the planet of the Iss, so after he returned to the earth, he combined the relevant technology of his civilization with the black technology of the Isis people to cast the bronze bell, and used the bronze bell to live for hundreds of years. You must know that the average life expectancy of that ancient civilization was about thirty years old. Sawada said.
Liu Xing touched his chin and said even more puzzledly: "Interesting, I really can't imagine that a bronze bell can be related to those black technologies of the Isis people, so does this bronze bell have the ability to control time?" So that the people who stay inside can live longer? ”
"No, the real power of this bronze bell is to be able to swap the bodies and souls of two people!" Sawada continued: "After the last king of the ancient civilization returned to his body, although he still remembered how the Iss traveled through time and space and exchanged the bodies of other creatures, he was unable to reproduce the abilities of the Isis because of the limitations of his own body, but his civilization had a special ability, that is, he could shock the souls of creatures through sound waves of a special frequency. ”
"So the bronze bell was made, simply put, the bronze bell can emit two different special sound waves, one special sound wave can make the soul of the creature in it out of the body, and the other special sound wave can make the soul in the bronze bell return to the body, so that the last king of the ancient civilization can constantly change his body, and obtain eternal life in disguise, but he and his own people were finally wiped out by another race."
"Liu Xing, you should also know that the ancient civilization at that time could be described as a carp crossing the river, and new ancient civilizations appeared or destroyed on the earth every moment, so the bronze bell continued to fall into the hands of different ancient civilizations, and some ancient civilizations had their own ideas, so this bronze bell was constantly transformed; The last time the bell appeared, the bell had the ability to use a special frequency of sound waves to affect the two creatures of the same kind in it, causing their souls to gradually synchronize... Or that the stronger side devours the weaker side. ”
"One soul and two bodies?" Liu Xing said in disbelief.
Sawada Yayin sighed and said seriously: "That's right, this is one soul and two bodies - one soul can control two bodies, and when the soul controls one body, the other body will also act autonomously according to previous memories, Liu Xing, you should understand what I want to say, right?" ”
Liu Xing nodded, then sighed and said, "I understand what you mean - Shimazu Nakano and Shimazu Takeshi are actually the same person!" ”
"That's right, that's what I thought, from the information known now, it is very likely that Shimazu Nakano completed the soul synchronization with Shimazu Takeshi with the help of that bronze bell, and let his soul swallow Shimazu Takeshi's soul, in fact, this is very easy to do, as long as Shimazu Nakano puts Shimazu Takeshi in a coma in advance, then Shimazu Takeshi's soul will also fall into a deep sleep." Sawada Yayin said with certainty: "But this bronze bell may be because it has been some years, so in order to maintain the effect, Shimazu Nakano must take Shimazu Takeshi's body to enter the bronze bell again every year, so Shimazu Hiromichi will mention that Shimazu Nakano will go to the nameless temple once a year, and will never let him enter the backyard, because Shimazu Takeshi is in the backyard." ”
Liu Xing rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "Then what kind of operation is Shimazu Nakano, how did he run out and make his own rebellion?" Could it be that he is an undercover agent of the public faction? ”
