The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven
Chapter 1151 Unexpected Visitor
Chapter 1151 Unexpected Visitor
the next day.
The brand-new floating island world has finally become operational.
The port reopened, and cargo ships, fully loaded, docked one after another, transporting purchased materials and supplies to the floating island in batches.
Since it's all money from the Kovin Group anyway, Liu Sheng doesn't care. He's only worried about not being able to spend it all since the Advent Day is almost here.
Once the materials are in place, the base can be renovated on a large scale.
First, remove everything from Bell Labs and then reconnect the energy, communication, and lighting infrastructure based on Skynet.
This part was completed by Li Ming, along with Ariel and Oze.
The local residents also helped out, treating it as a sideline to conduct Tiangong (a type of traditional Chinese craftsmanship) skills training—Aoze was particularly enthusiastic and proactive about this.
Secondly, under the remaining will of Zhang Lan and Tolena, a large number of vesicle-shaped residential areas are forming in preparation for accommodating a larger population.
Moreover, this time, there is no longer a distinction between inner and outer cities.
At the same time, a figure silently entered the New World Floating Island with the cargo ship.
Nobody can see it.
Because she slipped in through a sliver of light reflected from the cargo ship's porthole—first a flickering ray of light, then a very thin shadow.
Then, the shadow traveled along the puddles, glass, surveillance cameras, and reflections in the residents' pupils.
Like an invisible, cold breeze, it drifted gently into the depths of the camp...
……
Liu Sheng was constantly preoccupied with the detector.
At the same time, it is also necessary to complete a host of tasks such as laying out the network, reinforcing and protecting key areas, and providing guidance on engraving array patterns.
One thing after another happened, with almost no time to rest.
As night fell and the light strips along the edge of the floating island gradually faded into a soft blue, she finally finished all her work.
Liu Sheng rubbed his temples.
The exploration work will begin tomorrow.
I'll go back to my room and get some rest tonight.
Of course, for her, rest means cultivation.
The King of Rolls and Willows never cease their work.
The Palm Garden corridor is adorned with numerous polished crystal mirrors on both sides, which are brightly illuminated by the reflection of the crystal lights overhead.
Liu Sheng walked among them, her figure reflected on the mirror.
One side after another.
A figure flashed past in the mirror simultaneously, silently following closely behind her.
Liu Sheng, however, did not seem to see it.
Because there is nothing like that in reality.
But the reflection in the mirror kept getting closer.
Getting closer.
until--
Finally, it was completely pressed against Liu Sheng's back.
Then--
A flash of cold light, and the dagger was silently thrust out!
Unexpectedly, just as the tip of the knife touched Liu Sheng's back, a thick golden tentacle suddenly lashed out at the mirror.
Whoosh!
The mirror shattered on the ground.
The dagger vanished, and the figure disappeared as well.
As soon as Liu Sheng turned around, a chill ran down her spine.
The dagger emerged from the crystal chandelier above, heading straight for her brow.
At the same time, a beautiful face with its head hanging down emerged from the light—black hair like a waterfall, red lips slightly upturned, and a face so beautiful it was almost eerie.
Liu Sheng raised her hand, and another golden tentacle lashed out, smashing down along with the lamp and the face!
The crystal chandelier shattered with a crash.
Tiny crystal fragments, enveloped in cold light, scattered and flew everywhere.
The figure disappeared again.
The next second, it emerged from the debris on the ground.
The black bodysuit accentuated her slender figure, her princess-cut hair brushed against her shoulders, and the dagger in her hand was aimed straight for a vital spot.
Liu Sheng took a step forward.
[Rule: Space]!
Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and the next moment, she appeared behind the woman.
Lightning bolts swirl like a ball!
A burst of white light erupted, but the woman was no longer there.
A cold light flashed from behind Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng only had time to turn her body to the side.
The cold air from the blade brushed against my cheek.
Liu Sheng grabbed with his backhand.
The tentacles wrapped around the woman.
The woman, however, was as slippery as a fish; she twisted her body and tried to retreat again.
This time, however, Liu Sheng did not ask her to back down.
The spatial rules unfolded instantly, sealing off all her escape routes.
The woman raised an eyebrow, and her red lips curved into a smile.
"Truly an 'unknowable one'."
"Unfortunately, so am I."
After she finished speaking, she met Liu Sheng's gaze and was immediately reflected in the reflection of Liu Sheng's eyes.
Then, it fell into the mirror of Liu Sheng's peripheral vision.
They successfully escaped from Liu Sheng's spatial blockade.
Liu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly.
It was indeed tricky.
But before she could think any further, the woman launched another attack on Liu Sheng.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
The woman was agile and deadly, and would flee immediately if her attack failed. She could also use various mirrors to reflect light, as if she were born to assassinate.
Liu Sheng's skills were clearly inferior to hers, which was well-trained.
However, with the precise calculations of [Rule: Space] and "World", brilliant positioning can be achieved.
Furthermore, by relying on the infinite proliferation of its small tentacles, it can protect itself completely and launch attacks from all directions.
Moreover, Liu Sheng's advantages don't stop there.
In each encounter with the woman, she was able to collect data, allowing her to more accurately predict the woman's movement patterns and attack habits.
thereby--
Precise capture!
Once again, the woman's dagger missed Liu Sheng's neck by an inch.
She leaned back and leaped onto the shattered mirror once more, ready to reintegrate into her hunting grounds.
But when she was only halfway there, the world in the mirror suddenly stopped.
It was as if something had probed into the mirror layer first, grabbing her from deeper within.
The woman's expression changed drastically.
A golden tentacle pierced through the boundary between reality and the mirror, forcefully pulling her out of that reflection!
She was pulled and stumbled.
Before he could even regain his footing, lightning struck down on him.
You want to kill me? Not so easy!
The woman let out a sharp shout, and her body suddenly disintegrated.
His entire being transformed into a mirror that shattered suddenly, splitting into dozens of figures that leaped out simultaneously.
Each figure, wielding a dagger and sporting black hair and red lips, charged in from all directions.
However, Liu Sheng's expression remained completely unchanged.
Golden tentacles burst forth from the shadows throughout the corridor, like hunters lying in ambush, striking with pinpoint accuracy at every approaching reflection.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Figures exploded in mid-air, like mirror flowers shattered by a heavy hammer, instantly turning into countless fragments.
The woman was clearly unwilling to accept this.
The true form rapidly shifted among countless fragments, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes up, sometimes down.
The dagger grazed Liu Sheng's body time and time again, almost slicing her throat or piercing her heart each time.
But each time, it was just a hair's breadth away.
Because Liu Sheng's counterattack was faster than hers.
It's not about speed in action.
It's about being quick in making judgments.
It was as if no matter which mirror the woman appeared from, Liu Sheng could see through the slightest misalignment between reality and reflection in that instant, and then send his tentacles to strike her precisely, forcing her back once again.
The reflection in the mirror was shattered repeatedly.
The boundary between reality and reflection is repeatedly torn apart.
The entire corridor was in complete chaos.
The mirrors on the wall were shattered into pieces, crystal chandeliers fell one after another, and the floor was covered with sharp crystals and flickering cold light.
After several tugs of struggle, the woman was finally pushed to her limit.
Just as she was trying to escape into the last remaining shard of mirror, Liu Sheng suddenly raised his hand, and several golden tentacles closed at the same time, like a large net that suddenly tightened, pulling her out of the mirror layer!
The woman let out a muffled groan, finally losing control of her body and crashing heavily to the ground.
Liu Sheng stepped forward and ruthlessly pinned her down.
The tentacles wrapped tightly around her, also blocking her vision, like an eye mask.
“I’ve figured it out.” Liu Sheng looked down at her. “You need to be able to see it to complete the jump, right?”
The woman was pinned to the ground, but she still managed to smile.
"You got caught, you're pretty smart."
“You don’t seem like a newly promoted ‘Unknown One’ at all.”
Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
After staring at her for a long time, deep in his mind, "the world" quickly compared this face with the publicly available data on the StarNet and soon matched the information of this face.
"I see, it was Aston Fogcution who told you."
"Right? The 'Mirror Walker' and head of the Kirigakure clan—Rise Kirigiri?"
The woman's eyes turned slightly cold.
Finally, I laughed.
"That's right, it's me."
"As for me, I've never heard of you before, and I have no idea where you came from."
"If Aston hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that at a time like this, there would still be people who want to start a family, or even... dream of becoming nobles?"
"So what?"
Rise Kirigiri smiled.
Although she was restrained by Liu Sheng at the moment, she did not look disheveled at all. Instead, she seemed as comfortable as if she were chatting in her own living room.
"I think, why bother with all this hardship? Why not join our Kirigakure clan?"
“Perfect timing. Our Kirigakure clan is still lacking ‘Unknowns.’ Someone as capable as you will definitely not be treated unfairly.”
Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "You came to assassinate me just to—win me over?"
"Doesn't that mean we need to confirm whether your abilities are worth recruiting?"
So you're satisfied now?
“Very satisfied.” Rize Kirigiri said without hesitation. “Then… can you let me go now?”
Liu Sheng said calmly, "Unless you are willing to enter my domain."
Rise Kirigiri's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
She certainly knew what that meant.
For "unknowns" of their caliber to enter another's domain, unless their strength is completely crushed, they must agree on their own.
If one is unwilling, then it is not "entering" but rather the two realms colliding and devouring each other, directly evolving into a high-dimensional battle.
But Rise Kirigiri only paused briefly before smiling.
"I won't refuse."
Liu Sheng didn't say anything more.
The next instant, the surrounding light and shadows suddenly collapsed, and the two were dragged directly into that dark space.
This is part of her threshold space.
It was specifically designed for imprisonment and control.
Reggie Izetta was also terrified when he was locked up here last time.
The tentacles slowly released.
Risa Kirigiri slowly sat up.
Looking around, people clicked their tongues in amazement.
"It's pitch black and there's nothing there. It seems you must be the kind of ascetic who doesn't know how to enjoy life and is oblivious to romance."
"That's right." The world silently echoed.
Liu Sheng ignored him.
She knew that Risa Kirikiri was actually observing.
It doesn't matter.
Since there's nothing to reflect anything here, Risa Kirigiri's special ability has nowhere to be used.
"So?" Rise Kirigiri looked around, then turned her gaze back to Ryu Sheng. "What are your thoughts on my suggestion?"
Liu Sheng didn't answer, but instead asked, "So, you didn't join Bell or Izetta's ranks?"
"of course not."
This time, it was Kirigiri Rise's turn to turn cold.
"We don't want to lose our independence."
"We heard that you don't have any traces of Bell Labs or the Izetta Foundation on you, so we thought—you must be people like us."
Liu Sheng's gaze fell on her.
Indeed, there were no obvious signs of modification on Kirigiri Rize's body.
As for chips—
As if sensing what Liu Sheng was thinking, Kirigiri Rize smiled.
"Don't worry, although I also have a chip installed, every noble family has its own way of isolating the influence."
"Not everyone is that stupid."
Liu Sheng looked at her coldly, "But you seem to think I'm stupid."
"This time, access to the Star Gate is limited to members of the clan with direct blood ties. Do you think I don't know that?"
Rise Kirigiri was slightly taken aback.
They quickly realized what was going on: "Don't worry, our Wuyin Clan also has secret techniques that can change bloodlines. We can arrange for a clansman to exchange with you."
"What about my other clansmen?"
Risa Kirigiri frowned. "How many core clansmen do you have? A few is fine, but too many isn't good either. We can discuss the specifics further."
She said it very naturally.
This statement about abandoning one's own people shows that in Kirigiri Rise's eyes, it's not a big deal—especially when faced with the temptation of taking an "unknown" under her command.
Liu Sheng shook her head.
My answer is—impossible.
"Why?" Kirigiri Rise raised an eyebrow. "Although you are stronger than me, how many people are there here? At most, only ten thousand. How much faith do you think you can accumulate?"
"I just didn't use my ultimate move. If we were to really go head-to-head, I might not necessarily lose. But I think there's no need for us to fight like this; it would be a waste of resources."
Liu Sheng said calmly, "How do you know that's all I have?"
Rise Kirigiri smiled and said, "I saw exactly how many people are here. Don't try to bluff."
"So what are you going to do now? Wait for the best offer? Wait for a stronger family to come and take over your company?"
"Can't we just want to win independently like you?"
Rize Kirigiri laughed heartily.
"If you want to become a nobleman, first of all, there aren't enough of you."
"Secondly, does a family like yours, which has just climbed up the social ladder, really think it can activate the Supreme Council and get them to approve your nobility when everyone is busy and overwhelmed?"
"It's faster to dream."
"Not to mention, even if we take a step back and assume that you really become nobles, do you think you can participate in the show all by yourself?"
“Even our Kirigakure family, which isn’t considered top-tier, has three ‘Unknowns’.”
"And you still want to win?"
Liu Sheng did not argue with her, but simply raised his hand and made a light swipe in the dark space.
A door appeared silently.
Rise Kirigiri was puzzled.
Could it be that this young patriarch has finally realized the strength of the Kirigakure clan and decided to release them, thus submitting to their power?
But to her surprise—
As soon as the door was pushed open, bright artificial sunlight shone through.
A chubby old man was lying by the pool sunbathing.
She was only wearing short, tight swim trunks, and a brightly colored drink was steadily placed on her round belly.
Hearing the door open, the old man lazily turned his head.
She immediately met two burning gazes from inside the door and screamed as she wrapped herself in a towel.
Although it wasn't completely covered.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't try to peek at me!"
Liu Sheng twitched the corner of her mouth.
Rise Kirigiri, on the other hand, was completely stunned.
Because in that one glance just now—
She clearly felt a sword slashing down at her.
That's not an illusion.
Rather, it is a kind of sword intent.
Moreover, he has already reached the state of "man is sword, man and sword are one".
There are also many ancient families on the planet Banlanxing who practice swordsmanship. Even the Wuyin family has an "unknown" who is also a swordsman, but she has never felt such a strong sword intent from him.
In that instant, Kirigiri Rise knew—
This person is also an "unknown being"!
