MTL - I’m Really Not Wrong-Chapter 53 catastrophe
Chapter 53 Catastrophe
Hearing this, Chen Che's face changed, and he immediately strangled the bearded man's neck.
Sure enough, a highly poisonous and pungent smell came out of the bearded man's mouth.
Unfortunately, it was too late, the poison had already been swallowed by some means.
"Uh... I'll take a seat below first... Hehe..."
The bearded man struggled and said with a painful expression.
Immediately afterwards, he began to vomit black blood from his mouth.
Not long after, his neck crooked and he died completely.
"Hey, he is a decisive person, but unfortunately he didn't get much important information."
Looking at the lifeless beard, Chen Che said helplessly.
Then he turned around and looked at Wang Jingming.
"Teacher, what he said is not of much value, only the last sentence is a bit weird."
Having said this, he suddenly stopped.
Because he found that the teacher seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes.
Chen Che didn't disturb his thinking, but just waited quietly.
After about a dozen breaths, Wang Jingming suddenly shouted: "Chen Che, come with me to the county government!"
"it is good."
Chen Che didn't ask in detail, and immediately responded.
Wang Jingming was obviously very anxious, walking very fast.
At this time, a large group of people holding torches gathered outside the study room. Among these people were the masters of the major families in the surrounding area, as well as soldiers from the city.
Seeing Wang Jingming's gloomy face and hasty pace, everyone who originally wanted to ask his relatives all consciously gave way.
The county government office was only a few hundred meters away from Wang Jingming's mansion. Not long after, Chen Che followed Wang Jingming to the county government office gate.
"Woooooooooooooo..."
Before going in, Chen Che faintly heard the crying of a woman from the back hall of the county government office, which gave him a vague premonition.
Hearing the crying, Wang Jingming's face became more and more ugly.
After walking quickly into the county office, he rushed directly in the direction of the crying sound.
Not long after, the two arrived at the residence of the county magistrate in the back hall of the county government office.
Before entering, Chen Che faintly saw a middle-aged man in official uniform hanging in the room with a three-foot white silk tied around his neck.
Several women next to him were crying bitterly around the hanged middle-aged man.
"This... the county magistrate hanged himself?"
Chen Che was extremely shocked.
What the **** is going on here?
Wang Jingming's pace is getting faster and faster.
After entering the room, he didn't even look at the magistrate who had hanged himself, nor did he look at the crying woman next to him, but directly looked at the magistrate's big seal on the table.
To be precise, it was a suicide note pressed under the seal of the county magistrate.
Putting the big seal aside, Wang Jingming picked up the suicide note and quickly read it.
Gradually, his body began to tremble, and his face was filled with anger.
Having been with Wang Jingming for a month, this was the first time Chen Che saw him lose his composure.
Even when he was just assassinated, he was not so angry.
"Teacher, what happened?"
Chen Che finally lost his temper and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, you can see this suicide note."
Wang Jingming sighed heavily.
Chen Che took a look at the suicide note, and his face changed slightly.
This is a letter of guilt.
There is only one thing mentioned in it.
The Lieyang Stone Mine below Stone Fire City... was completely hollowed out under the misjudgment of the county magistrate.
Seeing the chaos in the city, the county magistrate knew that this matter could not be concealed anymore, so he chose to hang himself.
After reading the letter, Chen Che didn't know what to say for a while.
The Lieyang Stone Mine is the foundation of building a city and the most important guarantee against evil spirits.
Although ordinary people in the outer city can prevent evil spirits from invading by placing a piece of Sunshine Stone in their home, there must be a prerequisite, that is, their home is within the city and under the protection of the Sunshine Stone Mine.
And now there is no Lieyang Stone Mine in Stone Fire City, so what is the difference from being in the wild?
Warrior's own blood is strong, even in the wild, it's no big deal.
But what about ordinary people?
"Chen Che... Stone Fire City is over, our hometown is over."
Wang Jingming seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and his tone was extremely depressed.
Chen Che didn't know how to comfort him when he saw this.
When he first went out to do missions in the city, he heard from Du Peng that the most fundamental reason for the increasing chaos in the past few years was that the imperial court kept expropriating Lieyang Stones in order to build a Lieyang Palace to protect the current emperor Free from evil spirits.
But he didn't expect... the Stone Fire City was actually hollowed out.
A city without the Lieyang Stone Mine would have no need to exist.
"In an abandoned city without Lieyang Quarry, it is normal for hundreds of people to die overnight.
But in the past half month, there have been less than a hundred incidents of evil spirits harming people.
Hehe... They are waiting, waiting for the 15th day of July. "
Wang Jingming said quietly.
Chen Che was shocked when he heard this.
According to the memory of the original owner, every July 15th is the time when the yin energy in the world is at its peak.
This day the evil spirits will become immensely powerful.
For most small towns in Daxia, this day is an annual test.
In the night of this day, if a family is so poor that they don’t even have Lieyang Stones, they must find a family with Lieyang Stones to borrow for one night, otherwise there will probably be big troubles.
Even a big family has to be cautious on this day.
And the abandoned city like Stone Fire City without the protection of Lieyang Stone Mine... waited until the day of July 15th, when the evil spirits flourished and evil spirits broke out...
One mistake, the whole city may die.
And if more than 100,000 people die, it is very likely that a super evil will be born.
Some time ago, he read a lot of miscellaneous books in the teacher's study.
One of the books recorded an event of an evil city destruction decades ago.
At that time, the city guard was at odds with the county magistrate, so he secretly took refuge in Xie Chong and secretly dug out the Lieyang Stone Mine.
At first no one noticed, until the night of July 15th, when the evil spirits rioted, the whole city was slaughtered.
That night, a terrifying evil king was born among the evil spirits.
The evil king then destroyed several cities before disappearing without a trace.
…
"Teacher... today seems to be the second day of July."
Chen Che said softly.
At this moment, he suddenly understood.
No wonder those people insisted on assassinating the teacher.
With the Lieyang Stone Mine gone in Stone Fire City, Teacher, the Confucian, has become the last barrier against evil spirits.
And if the teacher dies, Xie Chong will have no scruples until the fifteenth day of July...
"Yeah, today is the second day of junior high school, counting the time, Stone Fire City has 13 days left to live.
I will find a way to transfer everyone in Stonefire City within these thirteen days. "
Wang Jingming's voice was hoarse.
While speaking, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
Stone Fire City is the place where he was born and his hometown.
Now, he wants to personally send his funeral to his hometown.
Thank you Momo, I want to be drunk, like the 100 points reward of mini, please collect it, recommend it, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a follow-up.
