Cataclysm King

 Chapter 230 Reversal, amazing secret words

　　Xie Guozhong did not leave from the main entrance of the tavern, but jumped directly from the window on the second floor.

This move is like throwing stones into a calm lake to fry fish.

As soon as he jumped, Ji Xun clearly felt several powerful and murderous energy fluctuations in the air, which suddenly appeared.

 Seeing this, he murmured solemnly: "Those guys in Bureau X are really evil in their methods."

 Xie Guozhong's disguise is already perfect.

 But he was discovered immediately.

 Obviously those trackers have some special targeting techniques.

Ji Xun thought about the way his fate was locked last time in Xia Mu City, and he became more solemn.

 At that time, it was because Aunt Nan, the top powerhouse, helped to break the situation, otherwise he would never have thought of any possibility of escaping.

 “Lao Xie, please don’t die.”

Thinking of this, Ji Xun said to himself.

 At the same time, he looked at the deerskin bag in his hand with a slightly complicated expression.

 He was in no hurry to see what it was.

 Instead, he looked around the tavern.

 It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Sure enough, it seemed that he had received some instructions, and several drinkers who were suspected of being "spies" also took action.

They looked around, obviously trying to find some drinkers who looked unusual.

Xie Guozhong left the Old Gun Tavern. If he waited any longer, he would be chased after him.

 Once the tavern is blocked, there is no way to escape.

Ji Xun did not dare to stay any longer. He took care of the package and stood up.

The reason why we didn't deliberately find any remote place to meet before was because we thought that after meeting, the two of them could escape smoothly.

Once a place with few people is exposed, it is very difficult to escape.

 The tavern is full of people and makes it easier to hide.

 Fortunately, the tavern was crowded, so no one noticed his behavior was unusual.

 But he still underestimated the professional agents of Bureau X.

As soon as he walked out of the tavern door, Ji Xun suddenly felt some energy locking onto him.

  This is a more acute perception than the werewolf's sense of crisis.

 “It should not have been discovered.”

Ji Xun didn’t feel like he was exposed so quickly.

 It's because Bureau X's personnel are very large and almost blockade the entire Downing Street.

There is a great way to kill the wrong, not letting go.

As soon as Xie Guozhong's whereabouts were exposed, a large number of "professional agents" appeared outside a row of pubs nearby.

  Newspaper seller, flower seller, cleaner, bartender.

 The eyes of the agents in various costumes immediately became sharp.

 There are also some strong men who are very troublesome at first sight.

If Ji Xun continues to drink, he feels that his disguise will not be discovered.

 But he was not sure what was in the package handed to him by Xie Guozhong and whether it might be located by some means, so he could only choose to leave as soon as possible.

This move also attracted several eyes to focus on him.

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

ˆ “.”

 Suddenly there was a violent explosion on the street in the distance.

Ji Xun knew that the fight started with Xie Guozhong.

Perhaps he also deliberately created chaos to create conditions for him to leave.

As soon as the explosion sounded, Downing Street was in chaos for a moment.

 But in the eyes of professional agents, they immediately knew that chaos was an opportunity to take advantage of. Countless eyes on the street stared at everyone who was planning to leave on the street.

 Apparently there are some special sensory relics that emit radar-like sensory waves.

Ji Xun was completely unaware of this abnormality before.

  In the past two months, Gong Wu has been training **** basic skills, and now his understanding of "qi" has reached a very keen level.

The feeling of his hairs being blown slightly by the wind made him immediately alert.

“Has Downing Street been completely blocked? It’s really a big problem.”

Ji Xun exhaled slightly.

 He felt more and more that Xie Guozhong had really discovered some incredible truth in his investigation this time.

 So much so that most of the X Bureau's field agents are now in the Innocence City.

 It was impossible to leave on a motorcycle.

Fortunately, Ji Xun was very familiar with Downing Street. When they agreed to meet, he went to observe several secret passages that he was familiar with when he was a corpse collector.

 Taking advantage of the commotion caused by the explosion, Ji Xun mingled with the crowd watching the excitement, and then quietly walked around an alley.

 “Three, two, one”

Ji Xun was counting down in his heart when the detonation bomb previously installed in the tavern exploded, causing chaos again.

 He jumped off the iron bridge decisively and hid in the darkness.

Ji Xun avoided everyone's eyes and ran towards the secret passage.

However, not long after, Ji Xun found several agents in black suits chasing after him.

 It’s not a locked tracking, then it’s a trap that was triggered passively.

Ji Xun thought: "Are the sewers equipped with early warning trigger devices? These people in Bureau X are really watertight."

But it’s not too surprising.

 Under limited conditions, human wisdom can only think of a few escape routes.

He can think of it, but it is impossible for a professional agent to think of it.

 The good news is that Xie Guozhong has almost lured away all the masters.

 The agents squatting in the sewers are not too difficult to deal with.

 Judging from the intensity of the "qi" exposed, the strongest one should be the third level.

 As long as these people can be eliminated quickly, the encirclement can be broken out.

 "tread", "tread" and "tread".

 The moccasins made a quick sound as they stepped on the sewer where sewage flowed.

Ji Xun’s beastly wolf ears trembled slightly, and his figure quietly merged into the darkness.

A few breaths later, a team of five people hurriedly appeared in front of them.

 Standard elite squad configuration.

The leader saw that there were no traces of water splashing in the corridor, and he keenly noticed something: "Be careful, that person may be sneaking nearby!"

Before he finished speaking, a wolf claw lingering in the air quietly came out of the darkness, grabbed one of the people's heads, and exerted force.

 “Bang!”

 Like a watermelon exploding, the ground is covered in scarlet.

 The five-man team is broken into formation, so they can kill quickly!

Sudden murderous intent broke out, and the other four people immediately reacted, with various cards in their hands already lighting up.

But Ji Xun didn’t give them a chance.

 Kill one person with a sneak attack, then punch out like lightning with his backhand.

The nearest man in a suit, who should be a fighter, was not slow to react. Seeing the fists coming, he quickly retreated back.

  This is a very classic body skill [rabbit kick].

This guy is also very proficient. He jumped two meters away in an instant, which is already out of the distance of being hit by a fist.

However, Ji Xun sneered in his heart as he looked at it.

The right fist broke through the wind at extremely high speed, and the lingering ripples of Gang Qi seemed to explode from the barrel, creating a visible air wave in the air.

 There was a muffled sound of "pop".

The next moment, I saw a fist-shaped depression appeared in the abdomen of the man in a suit who was still retreating in mid-air. He was bowing like a prawn, his teeth were about to burst, and blood sprayed out from his mouth. He was already seriously injured and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. .

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the other three men in black also changed suddenly, as if they all thought of: "Hauken!"

 【Wave Fist】is a very clever secret skill among qigong masters. Being able to use this move is enough to be considered a fighting master.

Several people realized that the person in front of them was not a simple person.

However, this is not the Wave Ken.

 It’s Gong Wu’s [Hegemony Fist].

As the old-timer said, once you master this epic-quality boxing technique, you can activate almost all fighting skills.

Ji Xun just mastered some basic Qi control skills and could easily simulate the waves of the Wave Ken.

 Killing people in the air!

 These people in Bureau X are indeed elite agents.

 Looking at Ji Xun killing two people in a flash, the other three panicked for a moment and reacted immediately: "Plan B!"

 A loud shout.

As soon as the spell appeared on the skin of the leading third-level captain, he rushed forward without fear.

On the other side, a woman took out a communicator, looking like she wanted to send a signal to scare people.

 There was also an assassin who blended into the darkness quietly.

Ji Xun knew what this tactic meant.

This operation is of high standard and there are definitely a series of emergency response plans.

Just now we found Ji Xun, a "suspicious person", and only a small team came.

 Now that it has been confirmed that it is invincible, if the signal is sent out, there will definitely be reinforcements from experts.

As long as you give them a chance, it will be a big trouble if the news gets out.

Since Ji Xun chose to ambush, he was well prepared.

The third-level captain did not care about life and death to contain him. Normally, it would take some effort to kill him even if he was a fourth-level captain.

However, Ji Xun raised his hand and grabbed it with five fingers, and layers of strange black gravitational threads appeared on his palm.

 “Whoosh!”

 “Whoosh!”

 “Whoosh!”

ˆ “.”

Six silver flying knives were pulled by gravity and flew out of the darkness at the speed of lightning flashes.

 Two sticks penetrated the head and chest of the woman in black who was about to send a signal.

The other two shot out two **** arrows in the darkness.

 Don't look at the assassin's stealth skills.

 But whether it is optical stealth at the physical level or stealth at the elemental level, their "qi" cannot be hidden.

Even if Ji Xun couldn't see it now, he could still sense the direction in which the air was slipping away and hit it accurately.

 Kill two more people with four throwing knives.

There are two more weapons, attacking at the back of the third-level captain.

"not good!"

This guy also noticed something, and his expression changed.

 But just as he was trying to restrain Ji Xun, he couldn't stop punching.

Before he could turn around, two flying knives pierced his back.

 “Puff” and “Puff” twice.

 The flying knife pierced the blood arrow, but it did not pierce, but was embedded in the bone.

Ji Xun looked at the white light lingering on this man's skin, but he said softly in his heart: "Hey, [Curse·Entropic Light Shield]? I have mastered this secret technique, and my talent is very good."

Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, he has read many classics and seen the introduction of this secret method of body protection.

It is said to be a rare body protection secret that only senior officers of the federal military have the authority to contact.

 The power is roughly equivalent to the downgraded version of the Overlord Body.

 With this method, it is almost difficult to say that you have lost when you encounter someone of the same level.

Pity.

 Meet Ji Xun.

 Two months ago, Ji Xun wanted to kill him, but there was still a long stalemate.

 But these two months have been different.

 It is a pity that the sneak attack failed to kill him.

But Ji Xun was not idle.

Hook your finger.

 The other four flying knives turned around and flew again.

The man in black was stabbed in the back, and there was a moment of panic in his eyes.

The man in front of him killed four people in a row, and his method was too weird, which made him feel a strong sense of death crisis.

 At the same time, he also recognized the identity of the terrifying werewolf in front of him: "That S-class wanted criminal!"

 Between masters, you can clearly see how big the gap is from just one face-to-face meeting.

The man in black thought that it would be difficult to survive today.

 But as long as we can hold on for a while longer, there is hope of attracting teammates.

 So when he was stabbed in the back, he endured the pain and punched Ji Xun in the chest.

This punch has the power to collapse a mountain.

At such a close distance, he didn't believe that someone of the same level could be punched and still be unharmed.

 However, an even more desperate scene appeared next.

Ji Xun saw the lightning flashing and the fist coming. He knew he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't even think about it: "[Second Art: Thunder Fist]?"

After seeing the scenery at the peak, in his eyes, these moves suddenly seemed ordinary.

The special destructive effect blessed by thunder spells not only breaks the defense, but also "stuns" to a certain extent.

 There are martial arts skills that can locate mysteries.

 Not expensive,

 It's just some skills.

 In the old man's words, martial arts without foundation are just "showy".

 His fist hit his chest, but Ji Xun didn't let the force of the punch penetrate into his body at all.

 The moment he touched it, his muscles contracted slightly, and his chest sank just right.

 A magical scene appeared.

The fist seemed to be stuck to the chest, and the "pop" sound of Ben Lei did not come out, but seemed to be stuck to it.

The man in black suddenly looked horrified: "What's going on!"

 He clearly felt as if his fist had hit cotton.

It was obvious that he was hit, but he had no way to relieve himself!

We are not afraid that the enemy is strong, but we are afraid that the enemy's methods are completely incomprehensible!

　　When the blow failed, he instinctively wanted to draw out his fist, but was even more horrified to find that his fist could not be drawn out.

Like

It’s like being soaked in thick maltose and stuck!

 The force of the fist did not dissipate, but he staggered, already revealing a big flaw. Ji Xun looked at this guy's frightened expression with a normal expression.

 I have been beaten all the time for the past two months.

 That's because the bad old man who was the target of sparring was too strong.

Now, he can finally use what he has learned to beat others.

　At this moment, Ji Xun also deeply felt the intention of the old senior.

 This is "Ting Jin'er".

It was the "bird in the palm of your hand that does not fly" stunt that Ji Xun had practiced for more than a month before mastering.

This is not only the super high skill proficiency, but also the mystery of qigong that transforms power into qi.

  Whenever external force strikes, he can use his body to deflect the force very accurately.

 Instead of having to choose hard resistance like before.

And this move is not only defensive, but also counterattack.

 Once the opponent's fist is stuck, the initiative is in your own hands.

 A moment of interlacing.

Ji Xun's thousands of pores were keenly aware of the direction and strength of the enemy's anger, and his body was glued to the opponent's fist.

The opponent wanted to withdraw his punch, but his fist was still pressed against his chest.

Ji Xun easily grabbed the opponent's arm to prevent him from escaping. The four flying knives behind him instantly penetrated various acupuncture points.

Gong Wu, the great qigong master, not only knows qigong, but also various ancient martial arts.

 The technique of Qigong acupuncture can almost be understood as a "vulnerability attack".

No matter what kind of martial arts the opponent uses, as long as you know the rules of the opponent's spell power, they can accurately interrupt it.

　　In the practical sense, "interrupting spell casting".

Ji Xunyi stabbed the guy's broken spine with a flying knife, and it was obvious that his body's protective luster dimmed.

 Then he punched him without hesitation.

 “Bang!”

The four-fold inner diameter of [Erjibeng] penetrated his head, and the man in the suit suddenly became dizzy.

Ji Xun would not give him a chance to wake up, and his fists poured down like a torrential rain.

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

ˆ “.”

 In the dark sewer, there was a dense explosion like firecrackers.

 After counting the interest.

The man in black had a crack in his skull and was already dead.

Ji Xun killed five people in a row, and the whole process took less than a minute.

 He didn't realize that there were still more pursuers coming, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

 After collecting the corpse, Ji Xun quickly evacuated toward the depths of the sewer.

 “So I’m already so powerful”

 While running, Ji Xun carefully recalled the details of the murder just now.

The five-person team in Game X was originally very strong.

 But the ambush process was much easier than expected.

Especially kill the last level 3 captain.

Ji Xun thought about it carefully now, that guy's martial arts skills and experience were not bad.

The ability to kill quickly is purely due to the gap in martial arts cognition and realm.

 In the past two months, the old man had raised Ji Xun's level too high.

 I used to be addicted to martial arts moves, but now that I have started to learn Qigong, I realize that I really went down the wrong path.

 A thought flashed across my mind.

 Not long after, Ji Xun had already emerged from the drainage pipe in an unknown alley.

 Looking around, we found that this place was already more than ten kilometers away from Downing Street.

Ji Xun still didn't dare to be careless. He changed his clothes and dealt with the traces.

 Escape again towards the distance.

No. 117, Dongcheng Street, Dongwu District.

This is the place where Ji Xun first worked as a corpse collector.

Ji Xun is also the most familiar with this urban area.

This place was in a semi-abandoned state before, but now it has become lively, and the streets are full of renovation workers.

 The body collector branch is still there.

Ji Ji found an abandoned small building and stopped.

He took out the deerskin package that Xie Guozhong had entrusted to him before, and he was also enlightened: "No wonder I am the only one who can take it."

 Because as soon as the package was opened, enlightenment appeared.

“You save a powerful ‘unknown curse’”

“You save a powerful ‘Unknown Faith’”

The contents of this package are contaminated by faith and cursed.

Ji Xun’s eyelids jumped as he looked at it.

No matter who gets this thing, it will be a big problem.

 No wonder Xie Guozhong wanted to leave it to himself.

 Because Ji Xun knew that only this old friend knew that he could be exempted from the pollution of faith.

 “What on earth is it?”

Ji Xun worked undercover in the Silver Moon Sect and came into contact with many things that were contaminated by the faith.

 So when I saw this enlightenment, I didn’t take it too seriously.

  As for "curse", that's not even a problem.

Ji Xun thought about it and opened the deerskin bag.

 For a moment, his eyes glazed over.

"No way"

Ji Xun’s eyes twitched inexplicably.

 He was mentally prepared to see some strange and terrifying object.

 Unexpectedly, I saw something familiar.

 A clay pot filled with dense incantations.

I carefully identified them and found they were exactly the same.

  Catastrophic object [X-711-Spelled Clay Pot].

 There are two of them in him.

 “It’s actually this thing.”

Ji Xun also didn’t expect that what Xie Guozhong risked his life to steal from Bureau X would be this.

You know, if you let that old friend know that there are two of you here, your jaw will drop, right?

Wanting to think about it, Ji Xun carefully observed the clay pot in his hand.

 After all, there is no pollution leaking out from the two of them.

This one is definitely different.

At this glance, I really saw a small crack on the pottery pot.

“Is it broken? Although it has been repaired, is the pollution still leaking out?”

Ji Xun saw gold paint on the cracks.

 The repair method was very clever, but it still failed to prevent the leakage.

Seeing this, he also thought in his mind: "So, the reason why the clay pot is exempt from the curse is because the material itself is to limit the leakage of the curse pollution inside, not the function of the pot itself?"

 Ji Xun had always been curious about what was in the jar before, but now he probably knew a little bit more about it.

 The jar and its contents are two different things.

 Jars protect against curses.

 And inside is a source of “curse” and “belief pollution” beyond cognition.

 Xie Guozhong can make such a serious statement, saying that "mentioning relevant words" may be contaminated, and the things involved must be more terrifying than what you see.

ˆ “.”

 After knowing what was inside, Ji Xun completely gave up the idea of ​​being curious about what was in the jar.

Instead, he felt strange in his heart: "So, I was running around with two nuclear bombs on my back?"

I dare not think about how dangerous it would be if the two jars were really broken.

 Fortunately, this thing is very strong.

Ji Xun looked at the clay pot with a small crack in his hand and fell into deep thought: "So, I want to give this to Jia Yu?"

 He thought for a moment and realized that Xie Guozhong's handling was fine.

 Also roughly guessed the context of the matter.

I have heard before that the X Bureau headquarters houses all kinds of strange things, including some out-of-control ancient relics, some disasters and strange creatures that ordinary people cannot deal with.

Now it seems that the pottery pot must have been contained.

 Then I don’t know when it was leaked. Some high-level officials within Bureau X may have been contaminated.

Xie Guozhong couldn't trust those people, so he could only find a way to hand it over to people from other districts.

 The entire federation has no choice in dealing with such dangerous goods.

 The leader of the Thirteen Knights is not bad.

 At least Jia Yu is still an acquaintance.

“But having said that, three jars have appeared. How many are there?”

Ji Xun looked at the broken jar and frowned slightly.

He thought that he would just follow the instructions of his old friend.

But just when he was about to put the jar into the fourth-level relic [Gorgon's Curse Seal Bag], he suddenly thought of another thought: "Hey, could Lao Xie give me a hint?"

Xie Guozhong is the ace agent of Bureau X. This guy seems to have a rough personality, but he is actually very delicate.

The words I spoke before were very urgent, so there was nothing wrong with them.

 But just because of the tacit understanding between friends, Ji Xun always felt that there might be other hints based on Lao Xie's character.

For example, if Lao Xie knew that he had been discovered, would there be something he "cannot say" but could only hint at?

This intuition flashed.

Ji Xun recalled all the details of the previous meeting in his mind.

With his hands free, he looked through the jar and the leather bag.

 The belt is an ancient relic, stained with some blood.

　　It should be that Xie Guozhong contracted the disease after he was injured.

Ji Xun saw the blood stains that were normal, but felt that there seemed to be some pattern to the blood stains.

 As an agent, cryptography is a basic professional skill.

Intuition told Ji Xun that these blood stains might hide some information.

Once you think about it in this direction, the patterns gradually become more regular.

"This seems to be a 'Penrose code'. Or is it simply a disordered code?"

Ji Xun had a photographic memory, so he immediately picked out one of the cryptography books he had read.

This kind of gibberish is very tricky.

 Either it is really gibberish.

 Either encrypted information that requires a specific "key" to be cracked.

 “The words of the key.”

Ji Xun had more than a dozen thoughts running at the same time, recalling all the conversations he had with Xie Guozhong.

 He suddenly thought of a number "345".

This is the number of the dice that Xie Guozhong rolled when he proposed to use dice to take away the Weeping Angel in Thunder Fortress.

It is also one of the few memories that contains password-related content.

  345, 453, 543

 Try several possibilities.

 The process is complicated, but in my mind, it happens instantly.

 “Hey, 543 is really okay?”

Ji Xun thought it was a coincidence.

 But the next time, his expression also froze.

Because, he really translated the encrypted message: "I should have been, or will be contaminated, but I can't detect it. I suspect that He can read my thoughts and influence my behavior. Therefore, I used the relic to tamper with it in advance It has affected some of my memories and cognitions. No matter what I told you, you should keep the things and never give them to others. The situation has been laid and we are waiting for the results. Be careful."

"this"

Ji Xun felt goosebumps all over his body the moment he saw himself deciphering this sentence.

He immediately realized something: "Xie Guozhong tampered with his own memory of throwing dice so that no one would spy on him. Then he left it as an encrypted message and wrote it here!"

 Tampering with your own memory?

 Fuck

This old Xie can really do it!

Ji Xun deciphered the encrypted content and instantly realized that this was a serious matter.

 Before, I just felt it was urgent and dangerous.

 But now seeing Xie Guozhong's encrypted content, Ji Xun instantly felt a thick cloud of conspiracy hanging over his head.

 It’s not just danger.

 It’s still very complicated!

  And all the points of involvement are on this jar.

Ji Xun's mind turned around and he thought of too many things in an instant.

At the same time, I was sucked in a breath of cold air.

 Like falling into an ice cave.

Goosebumps exploded.

 The whole person’s thoughts are completely awake.

“If ‘Xie Guozhong’ has been contaminated, but he still wants me to go to Jia Yu, that is to say, this is not Lao Xie’s own intention, but the overall conspiracy of going towards the leader of the Thirteen Knights, the “Light Chaser””

Ji Xun thought of this, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

If Xie Guozhong has really been contaminated, this matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end!

 It turns out that the previous roundups were all part of the bureau.

Ji Xun even felt that even if he failed to kill the five round-up teams at the first time, he would still be able to escape "with luck" in the end.

 Because his escape is a necessary part of the subsequent layout.

Furthermore, "Xie Guozhong" has not mentioned the code word before, which means that he really doesn't know about it.

From this, Ji Xun is 100% sure that the old Xie he just saw has been contaminated!

 His behavior was affected by some unknown existence.
