The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 839 People of the Same Path
"Are you crazy?"

This was Ruan Shizhi’s first reaction.

But soon, he remembered the inexplicable and inseparable subordinate relationship between him and Liu Sheng, so he had to shut up in dissatisfaction, lowered his head, and cautiously peeked at her expression from the corner of his eyes.

Liu Sheng didn't care much about it. He just looked up at the Great Wall that was so high that the top was out of sight. He had an indifferent expression, as if he had already figured out how to climb up.

"I...what I mean is, let's not talk about how strong the defenders of the Great Wall are. Just the slippery surface of the Great Wall that has been frozen for hundreds of years is impossible to climb. I have never heard of anyone succeeding..."

Ruan Shizhi spoke hesitantly, and his eyes were evasive and tentative.

"Besides, your ability to cross mountains and seas doesn't seem to work here, right?"

He could see it clearly.

However, Liu Sheng did not shy away from it, but said calmly:

"This Great Wall seems to have a power that can match it."

[That is to say, the power of rules.] The "world" reminded at the right time.

Ruan Shizhi also looked up at the city wall, a complex look of awe and confusion emerging in his eyes, and an indelible fear deep in his heart.

"It is said that... the Great Wall was built overnight. It was built by Emperor Xuanwen with divine power. It was a gift from the Supreme God..."

"Yes, this is what we learned in school since we were young."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

But is it really so?
In another world, Emperor Xuanwen isolated himself from the gaze of the Supreme God behind the scenes. Although no one knew how he did it, he must have used the help of another force - a force that could rival the Supreme God.

In this way, the Great Wall can still stand firmly in another world, isolating the many strange creatures in the north for hundreds of years.

Not to mention that at the moment, the Supreme God has become ineffective, but the power of rules on the wall has not yet become ineffective, which shows that there may be another person behind it.

Or maybe another god.

Liu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally retracted his gaze: "Let's wait until later before we take action."

Later, of course, does not mean waiting until nightfall to take action.

In this Great Wall with endless night and snow, how can there be a distinction between day and night? Time has lost its meaning here, and only the defenders pay attention to it - that is, when changing guards.

In addition to the two men stationed at the gate, there were groups of two soldiers on duty every five miles along the entire Great Wall, so the security was very tight.

Moreover, Liu Sheng discovered that once these soldiers of the Northern Border Army were within the coverage of the Great Wall, they would be able to connect with the inexplicable rules of the Great Wall and could mobilize that power for vigilance, defense and attack.

Therefore, although these defenders may not have a high level of cultivation, they were able to rely on this power to destroy a bird woven from black tentacles released by Liu Sheng in mid-air with one arrow.

Liu Sheng guessed that when changing shifts, there might be a slight gap in this power.

……

As the time went on, the wind and snow became stronger.

Liu Sheng and Ruan Shizhi hid in an abandoned hut in the outer city. The dim firelight from the simple stove illuminated a corner.

In her heart, she was staring at the garrison at the Great Wall through her small eyes in the snow.

At the same time, Liu Sheng's tentacles were all launched, some were controlling the portable furnace, some were beating the metal sheets to slowly form the shape of hooks, and some were holding the engraving pen and carving something on the sheet.

Ruan Shizhi was stunned.

Then a strong feeling of sourness surged into my heart.

Why...why does she have such ability?

Why...even if I become a monster, I am still a waste?
Liu Sheng seemed to be unaware of the hostility that was gradually building up behind Ruan Shizhi.

After all, she had already explained it to Ruan Shizhi:
-
【Name】：Ruan Shizhi

[Analysis completion]: 100%
[Type]: Weird (Level 1)
[Effect Description]: General physical enhancement.

[Influence Level]: F
[Analysis and Evaluation]: Just an ordinary trick.
-
This is also the reason why Liu Sheng didn't mind letting him out and keeping him by his side.

Because Ruan Shizhi is really too weak...

In fact, most F-level monsters are like this.

That is, their physical fitness is slightly stronger than before they were transformed, and some of them don’t even have any enhancements.

Even in this world's grading system, "F" stands for "safety."

[Although I don’t know where this kid is safe…]

【However, judging from the results, it is indeed quite safe. 】

If you are stronger, that is, have better physical fitness or master some special abilities, you will be at the "E" level.

Therefore, most of the time, Liu Sheng only needs to rely on his fighting strength to crush most monsters.

But it would be more troublesome if you encountered a strange creature with special abilities, such as the ability of illusion - using illusions to lure people into the game, hurt others, or even hurt itself.

This is also a common ability of monsters.

The so-called "ghost wall" and "nightmare" are typical examples.

However, once one can see through the illusion, it can be easily defeated.

Because the body of this monster is actually weak.

There are gains and losses in this process, and the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

Further up, there are those who possess the ability to merge or have advanced power systems. They are the real threats...

All in all, Ruan Shizhi is at the bottom among the weird things.

No wonder he has such a strong obsession...

But unfortunately, becoming a monster still did not solve this problem.

The only thing worth mentioning is that after practicing the "Chaos Yin and Yang Sutra" in Xiaolu Garden, he can at least control the strange aura and evil thoughts in himself.

Of course, under normal circumstances.

"Please hold back so as not to alert the Great Wall." Liu Sheng reminded without even raising his head.

Ruan Shizhi suddenly woke up from his dream and his face turned red instantly.

On the one hand, he felt extremely ashamed of the indifference revealed in his calm tone. On the other hand, he was angry that he could not control himself and almost became a slave to the abyss.

Liu Sheng didn't have time to care about his little emotion. He just handed him the four shiny metal claws that he had just polished.

"Here, tie one pair to your hands and one pair to your feet. Let's go now."

Ruan Shizhi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took it and asked, "Now? Aren't we waiting for the shift change?"

"It's too late to wait for the shift change." Liu Sheng shook his head. "I noticed that their breaths were relaxing and their minds were gradually relaxing. It was obvious that they knew that their shift was about to end and they would be able to rest soon."

Liu Sheng’s guess was correct.

The two took advantage of the night and used the invisibility talisman to quietly sneak under the inner city wall.

As you get closer, you can see tiny dots of fire flowing, and new fire is joining in.

When the old flames faded away, a whistling sound suddenly came from the northeast corner of the outer city wall, and countless black and gold birds rose up from the sky, causing a vortex in the snowy night.

The attention of the Great Wall defenders was attracted.

The fire gradually approached the northeast corner.

As a result, the moment the black and gold bird approached the city wall, it was shot into pieces of light by several sharp arrows and instantly annihilated into countless pieces of golden light that fell from the sky.

In the dark gap under the broken gold, the two men quickly approached the Great Wall. As soon as their sharp claws pressed against the wall covered with deep ice and snow, a huge suction force was immediately generated, firmly fixing their hands on the wall.

Then put the clawed feet on it, and the whole person could hang on the wall. With a slight movement, there was an upward thrust under the feet, which lifted the person up fiercely. Ruan Shizhi was caught off guard and bounced directly to a height of ten feet. He almost screamed in fright. In a panic, two tentacles covered with sharp thorns shot out from the ice claws and nailed into the ice layer fiercely, and only then did he stabilize his body.

When I looked back, Liu Sheng had disappeared.

When he looked up again, he saw a black shadow rising rapidly, leaping nimbly on the smooth city wall. In a moment, it disappeared high up, leaving only a blurry dot, almost blending into the endless darkness above the Great Wall.

Ruan Shizhi looked down and saw the fire getting closer. He could also hear the sound of conversation faintly. He was startled and did not dare to delay. He quickly followed Liu Sheng and climbed up.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a loud shout from below: "Hey! The one up there! Come down!"

The sound was like thunder, shaking his hands so much that he almost fell.

Fortunately, the claws had a very strong suction force, which kept him stuck to the wall.

"Come down!"

Another shout.

Then a beam of light exploded beneath his feet.

Ruan Shizhi closed his eyes instinctively, only to hear a "ouch" and then a heavy sound of falling to the ground.

He quietly opened his eyes and found that he was safe and sound, and a stern voice came from below: "Tell me, who are you!"

"I, I, I..."

A hoarse male voice whispered.

"Hey, you're not the one next to Lord Ling—"

Before he finished his words, Ruan Shizhi only felt a strong wind blowing past his eyes, and familiar tentacles winding down, and then the soldier's voice was stuck in his throat and turned into a whimper.

Another soldier was also knocked unconscious.

A black shadow fell from the sky and landed lightly on the snow.

It was Liu Sheng.

She landed on the ground, helped up the man who had just been caught climbing the wall, and called out softly:
"uncle."

……

And just like that, the wall climbing plan came to a temporary halt.

The fall of the two Northern Army soldiers would soon be sensed by the Northern Army that was one with the Great Wall.

Sure enough, there were already flames rumbling on the city walls in the distance, vaguely gathering towards this place.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng and Ruan Shizhi had already brought the fellow traveler back to the house, and the footprints were quickly buried in the heavy snow in the north, leaving no trace.

When the wooden door was suddenly pushed open by the defenders without any warning, only three people were seen sitting around the stove, drinking hot wine and eating braised beef.

"Outsiders really know how to enjoy themselves." The soldier leaned against the door and sneered.

The middle-aged man who had just been rescued stood up, showing a flattering smile under his untidy beard, and handed over the hot wine on the table, "General, we just feel that the weather is cold, and we want to drink some hot wine to warm ourselves up."

"Tsk, you are indeed a southerner, you can't even stand this little bit of cold."

The soldier said he disliked it, but he still took it without hesitation, raised his head and took a sip. His eyes lit up immediately and he smacked his lips, "Good wine!"

"If you like, General, you can take them all." The man said with a smile.

"Okay, logically speaking, we shouldn't..."

The man immediately spoke out, "Yes, yes, we also think that we shouldn't drink at this time, for fear of paralyzing our will, so... we specially handed it over."

"Paralyze the will?" The soldier raised his eyebrows.

"Of course it is the will of us ordinary people. Your Excellency is different." The man complimented appropriately.

After such flattery and half a pound of braised beef, the soldier finally smiled and was about to push the door and leave.

However, just as he stepped half a foot into the snow, he suddenly turned around.

"By the way, there is one thing I need to ask. The ones who attacked the defenders...could it be you?"

The three people in the room paused for a moment.

Liu Sheng, who had been silent the whole time, remained calm and asked, "Why do you say that, sir?"

"Hehe, nothing." The soldier's mouth curled up with a hint of joking, "I just think that you all have a motive to enter the inner city."

There were only three people - one was calm, one was lazy, and only one trembled like a startled quail. This slightly satisfied his desire to scare people, but soon made him lose interest. He walked into the wind and snow, humming a little tune, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a piece of meat in the other.

After the humming sound was swallowed up by the whistling wind, Liu Sheng gently waved his hand, and the ban rose again. The room was quiet, and even the whistling outside the window was blocked.

"This...will we be discovered?" Ruan Shizhi asked tremblingly.

"He was just testing me." Liu Sheng shook his head. "If he really had evidence, he would never come here alone."

"But, speaking of which, why do you, uncle, have the motivation to enter the inner city?"

She looked at the middle-aged man who had returned to his disheveled and unkempt appearance.

It was Liu Sheng’s uncle, Ling Fu.

I just don’t know why he suddenly came to the northern border when he was supposed to be in Chang’an.

However, the answer soon came.

The cunning smile on Ling Fu's face drooped instantly.

He raised his eyelids, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. After a long while, he sighed, "Because... your mother is upstairs."

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and many scattered clues came together in his mind.

"My mother, is she the high-ranking official from the capital?"

Ling Fu nodded.

"You guys came here together? For the matter of the northern mineral veins?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Yes." Ling Fu smiled bitterly.

[It makes sense. If Xueshan wants to negotiate, the imperial court will naturally send someone, and Ling Shangshu, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Qingyun Pavilion, is of course the most suitable candidate.]

[So this is the "surprise" that Senior Sister Nangong mentioned...]

But judging from my uncle's expression, it seemed that he was far from happy.

Liu Sheng's face turned pale, and he tried to calm down. "But why did the two people guarding the gate today say that my mother did not enter the inner city?"

Ling Fu shook his head: "Because Lian'er didn't go in through the main gate. Those guards naturally didn't know."

"So, how did she get into town?"

However, Ling Fu still shook his head: "I don't know either, but a woman wearing a hood came to her and said she could help her enter the city."

"And she followed him in?"

"Yes." Ling Fu's eyes were complicated. "She later sent a message saying that she had safely entered the inner city. But after that, there was no response. I waited for a whole day, and I couldn't sit still any longer, so I decided... to find a way to get up myself."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng and Ruan Shizhi looked at each other.

"I sent you a message..."

"I'm afraid it's not my mother."

When saying this, Liu Sheng's voice trembled a little.

I just got home yesterday... Traveling is more tiring than I thought. I took almost 20,000 steps every day (⊙⊙). I didn't have time to write anything. I just wanted to lie down when I got back to the hotel. I'm going to make up for it now (o□`o)
