Chapter 1853: Chapter 450: Lion Awakening_3
The handling of the Sky Divine Throne was decisive and resolute.
But it was precisely due to this "ruthless" handling that it caught Gu Shen’s attention and vigilance.
If the "Lion Wake Case" didn’t have deeper secrets, then why make Qin Ye commit suicide?
Thus, after accepting Tie Wu... Gu Shen heard some secrets about Lion Alley from Tie Wu’s mouth.
According to Qin Ye, Lu Cheng chose to commit suicide voluntarily at that time.
He committed suicide to preserve the Lion Awakening technology.
But Lu Cheng left a sentence before he died, a sentence Qin Ye could never forget, always unable to resist recalling.
During a certain mission, Qin Ye revealed the secret he had held in his heart for so long to Tie Wu.
Lu Cheng said.
"Humanity has embarked on a completely wrong path."
As an Angel Envoy, Qin Ye only needed to follow the orders of the Divine Throne.
Yet Lu Cheng’s words before facing death made him start to doubt himself, and also doubt the Source Tower, he began to wonder if his own Lord Divine had really seen the future correctly...
Perhaps Lion Awakening isn’t necessarily a good thing?
It’s a pity that until his death, Qin Ye never suspected the correct target.
Awakening is not the wrong path.
Awakening under the guidance of [Deep Sea] is the wrong path.
Humanity ought to enter the Extraordinary Era by itself.
The reason Lu Cheng didn’t hand over the bronze box was because he didn’t want to deliver this era-changing technology to [Divine Sea], the killer of the Ancient Literature Society.
...
...
Lu Nanzhi received a phone call.
A call from Cui Zhongcheng.
After the incident at Flower Insignia, Cui Zhongcheng’s phone couldn’t be reached, she had given this fellow a vacation, yet he seemed to have evaporated from the human world... suddenly disappearing without a trace, Flower Insignia controlled the "surveillance rights" of the entire Jiangnan Region, Lu Nanzhi mobilized [Heavenly Eye], to no avail. Liu Yi activated [Spiritual Eyes] to search, but there was no response either.
It was as if Cui Zhongcheng was wiped out from this world...
"Hello—"
After the call connected, Lu Nanzhi was slightly relieved, but the worry suspended in her heart didn’t dissipate.
Her intuition told her mysteriously.
This call from Cui Zhongcheng was not just a simple greeting.
"It’s me, Cui Zhongcheng."
The voice on the other end of the line was very calm, sounding no different from usual, Mr. Xiao Cui was Flower Insignia’s iron backbone, he was the type of person whose voice brought immense comfort and reassurance.
All these years, Flower Insignia had been orderly thanks to his presence.
Lu Nanzhi immediately asked, "Where are you?"
"In a... very far place."
The person on the other end paused, laughed a little, and said, "I may not return."
It was actually a very absurd statement.
A "housekeeper" who guarded Flower Insignia for thirty years, suddenly went on vacation one day, vanished cleanly from the world, saying in the returning call that he might not come back.
Anyone hearing this would find it absurd.
But strangely, Lu Nanzhi did not.
She felt a surprisingly calm inside, and vaguely guessed something, at this moment, she merely lowered her brows and eyes, slowly said, "If you wouldn’t return, then why make this call?"
"In the next few days, the high-ups of the five families will head to Da Du, and the famous generals from Central City’s frontier will head south."
The voice in the call was as steady as ever.
"They will gather at Flower Insignia for a meeting that you must host."
Lu Nanzhi took a deep breath.
She listened quietly.
"Next to the residence left by Old Lu in Lion Alley, there’s a silent courtyard, the password is your birthday, dig twenty-five meters under the banyan tree... there’s a second bronze box."
The voice on the phone chuckled, "Remember Old Lu’s tunnel? He was a meticulous person, with thorough assurance, to protect the ’Lion Awakening technology’, he always had some contingency plans left, that is the last item left for you, take good care not to lose it again."
Upon hearing this.
Lu Nanzhi’s eyes suddenly became moist.
Her voice was hoarse as she said, "So you are not Mr. Xiao Cui?"
"..."
There was a brief silence on the other end.
"I am. How am I not?"
Turing’s voice carried laughter.
Yet his face was full of fatigue, because when he closed his eyes, countless scenes flashed by.
His life was indeed too long.
The traveler who walked through the Netherworld King Temple was him.
The deceased who slumbered in the snowy tundra, revived, was also him.
He was never "one person."
He was many people.
But the name most remembered by people among them was Turing.
During these thirty years, he was very glad someone called him "Cui Zhongcheng", he was also pleased to have become "Cui Zhongcheng" ... but unfortunately, the young man in the real world had already died in his passionate fervor, and the life he played in these years came to an end.
"Our conversation is ’encrypted’, just like your [Red Door]."
This statement is uttered.
The identity of "Cui Zhongcheng" was actually pointed out.
Lu Nanzhi clenched her teeth, her mind at this moment was blank, having many things she wanted to say, yet could speak not a single word.
She could only listen silently to the gentle voice of the communicator.
After being at Flower Insignia for so many years.
She grew from an ignorant young girl to the stage she’s on now...
Cui Zhongcheng’s contributions were undeniable.
The two went from each other’s wary "enemies" to intimate "comrades", each step was so coincidental, and so subtle.
Rather than saying it’s destiny in control.
It would be better to say.
It was controlled by another person.
Cui Zhongcheng witnessed her growth.
"When visiting the adjacent courtyard, remember to bring [Lantern]. After obtaining the bronze box, make sure to open it when no one is around, you understand what I mean. About the contents of the box, wait until the people from Jiangbei and Central City arrive at Flower Insignia, then make the demonstration, remember... Awakening has never been wrong, nor is the Ancient Literature Society the [Old World] remnants."
The voice on the phone laughed joyfully, "This is all I have to say. Have you remembered it all?"
After finishing, no echo followed from the other side of the communicator.
Only the rustling sound of electric currents.
After a long time, a very faint trembling sniffle barely sounded.
"...En."
Turing recalled the way she looked when she just joined the Ancient Literature Society, time flies, thirty years in a blink.
He raised the drink in his hand, making a toast across the void.
He chuckled softly and said, "Then, see you in the ’New Era’."
