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

Chapter 878: Disaster of Qingyun (Two in One)

The hearse lost control and fell rapidly.

The Queen calmly put on her cloak, leaned back in an extremely strange posture, then stretched out her tentacles to embrace Wen Weilan in her arms. The next moment, she suddenly opened the car door and jumped out with her.

The bone spurs on her back spread out in the wind and turned into huge wings. In the overwhelming snowstorm that almost blocked her five senses, she flew into the air in one direction.

Wen Weilan curled up in her warm but bloody arms and clearly heard a "bang" behind her.

It was the sound of a hearse falling.

Then, there was a loud explosion.

But it was soon obscured by the wind and snow.

"This……"

"This new creation is a little unstable, so it's normal that it would explode, right?" The Queen's voice sounded from above, with a light smile.

Wen Weilan was silent.

The Queen then asked, "So, you already knew that I was a weirdo?"

"um, yes."

"You also know what I belong to?"

"Yes, Xiaoxiang Tower." Wen Weilan paused and added, "Now there is also the Holy Temple."

The Queen sighed: "You know a lot, no wonder High Priest Lou thinks so highly of you."

"Speaking of which... one ghost and one god, we finally found a point of cooperation. Do you know how difficult it is?"

Wen Weilan did not answer this question and asked:
"So where are you taking me now?"

There was no emotion in her voice, and she no longer addressed her as Queen.

"I'm going to hide you and talk to you later."

"Although some people think that it would be better to kill you. However, after all, your mother is loyal to me and does her duty, and the landlord also values ​​you very much. Naturally, I don't want you to act willfully and lose your life in vain."

"So... you want to treat me like this?" Wen Weilan asked coldly.

"Of course, I know you have some tricks up your sleeve, so I certainly can't let you get away with it!"

The Queen Mother said it lightly.

It seemed that the one who was now entangled with Wen Weilan with tentacles covered with bone spurs was not her.

Those sharp thorns as fine as needles were piercing through Wen Weilan's flesh and wrapping around her bones, making her unable to move. Even the strange energy in her body was blocked and she couldn't mobilize it, let alone follow her "folk scientist".

But she said nothing, not even a hum.

Even the Queen couldn't help but show some admiration.

"Don't worry." The Queen said softly, "If you are obedient, nothing will happen to you. But if you resist, you will suffer more than just the minor injuries you have now."

Wen Weilan did not respond, but asked:
"You still have not answered my question."

The Queen then remembered that it was that problem that caused her to trigger the mechanism that was originally planned to be activated later.

As a result, there are now slightly more sections of road exposed to wind and snow.

"Oh, speaking of that question..." She smiled softly, "It seems that you don't know enough."

"Comprehensive transformation can certainly save everyone and allow everyone to embark on the path of evolution, but we gradually discovered that... the shackles still exist."

"shackles?"

"Yes, it is the shackles that prevent us from ascending."

"Gao Wei..." Wen Weilan murmured.

"Yes, that's the word. The host often says it." The Queen praised, "Even if we become the strongest weird creatures, we can only wander in the abyss and cannot enter the real higher dimension."

"The abyss is closest to the higher dimension, but the abyss will never be the higher dimension." said the Queen.

"So you need a fairy boat." Wen Weilan said softly.

"That's right." The Queen smiled, "So we never stopped you from building the Immortal Boat. Instead, we vigorously promoted it."

"But you should know that your immortal boat has a fatal flaw."

Wen Weilan was silent, with a gleam in his eyes.

The Queen Mother did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"The materials are not strong enough, and the energy is not sufficient. How many people can the immortal boat carry? How far can it fly?"

“We are working on a solution…”

"But how long do we have to wait?" The Queen interrupted Wen Weilan, "Of course, some people are willing to wait, but some people can no longer wait."

"So at this time, we need to screen..."

"filter?"

"That's right, we will screen those who are truly qualified to board the Immortal Boat."

“As for the standards, they are very clear.”

“The closest thing to ascension.”

"The Shenzang Realm?" Wen Weilan asked.

"No." The Queen's tone suddenly became heavy, "It is the existence closest to God."

"God..." Wen Weilan was slightly shocked.

Thinking of Liu Sheng.

Thinking of Mother Earth.

The Queen continued:
"You also understand that belief in the Supreme God is false, so have you ever thought about what is the true belief?"

Wen Weilan was slightly startled.

To utter these words in this land that is still shrouded in the authority of the Supreme God is blasphemy.

But at this moment, the wind and snow covered the sky, and the god's face was covered with dust, so there was really no need to worry about anything.

So Wen Weilan slowly spoke: "True faith... is naturally what the people want."

"So, have you seen what the people really want?"

The Queen asked again.

At this time, Wen Weilan was being slowly brought down.

The buildings and palaces of the imperial palace appeared one by one in the thick fog and snow waves. A ban lit up slightly, and then melted away like water waves, allowing the queen's strange figure to pass through silently.

Looking at the flying eaves and golden tiles coming towards him, the fog in Wen Weilan's heart was finally blown away a little.

……

A hearse made an unstable circle and landed rapidly in front of the gate of Qingyun Pavilion.

Although the wind and snow blinded my eyes, it was too noisy outside and I could still see the situation clearly through the high-definition ice-glass windows.

Cuicui watched and couldn't help but hold Qiao Yu's hand beside her.

"I can't cry! Yes, I can't cry! I'm the shopkeeper of Qingyun Pavilion, and everyone is waiting for me to speak!"

She kept murmuring in a low voice.

Cuicui has always been a girl who loves to cry, but at this moment she could only take deep breaths to prevent tears from oozing out of her red eyes.

"It's okay, I will help you." Qiao Yu said softly.

Cui Cui turned her head to look at her with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Perhaps it was these words that calmed her down.

Her eyes gradually calmed down, she reached out to open the car door, and Cuicui got out.

The wind and snow suddenly blew in her face, almost blowing the petite girl over. She held her head in panic, but suddenly she felt the wind slow down.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qiao Yu's tall figure blocking the way.

The fan-like palm pressed firmly on her shoulder.

"Be careful."

"Thank you, Sister Qiao Yu."

Cuicui calmed herself down, used her light body skills, and rushed through the wind and snow into the Qingyun Pavilion, where only half of the door panel was left, shaking from the wind and snow.

But as soon as he entered the room and saw the situation inside, his eyes became red again.

The Qingyun Pavilion is in chaos right now.

Jinwu guards were everywhere, and everything was turned upside down. Shelves were overturned, and spiritual weapons were swept away and stuffed into storage bags with a huge "seal" printed on them, which were specially used for sealing.

Soldiers also poured out from the backyard, carrying all kinds of things, all of which were sealed.

"What do you want! This is my workbench!"

Tao Tao, the master of Tiangong who was specially invited by Qingyun Pavilion, usually had a kind face, but at this moment his face was full of anger, and he was chasing after them and stamping his feet in anxiety.

However, the other party did not even turn his head, but only said coldly: "The Jinwu Guard is doing its job, and anyone who obstructs it will be punished."

Another soldier came trotting from the backyard and reported to the general standing in the hall: "Master Zhong, the flying car in the backyard is too big. It can't be put into the storage bag, and it can't pass through the front door..."

The general was Zhong Yuanzhi, who frowned and said, "Then go through the back door. Do you still need me to teach you?"

"But the back door is restricted and cannot be opened..."

"Then blow up the ban."

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and rushed to the backyard.

Tao Tao's elder brother Tao Da hurriedly chased after him and tried to persuade him:
"Sir, sir, just wait for our shopkeeper to come back and remove the ban... Why do you have to do this..."

Tao Tao opened his hands and shouted, "This is something the court urgently needs! No one can touch it!"

The other party pushed Tao Tao away:

“We were just following orders.”

Tao Tao was furious and raised his hand, which was flashing with light.

Tao Da knew that his sister was about to take action, so he quickly stopped her, bowed and smiled, and kowtowed repeatedly to the Jinwu Guard.

"May I ask, sirs, which superior officer ordered this? The flying car was indeed urgently made for the court, and there are not enough of them now..."

The Jinwu Guard said unhappily, "We are following the orders of a certain lord, so there is no need to tell you. Who do you think you are?"

Before he finished speaking, a clear female voice came from the noise:
"Then I wonder if this military officer could tell me something?"

"Shopkeeper!"

"The shopkeeper girl is here!"

Tao Tao, Tao Da and other apprentices living in Qingyun Pavilion shouted when they saw the person coming.

I saw Cuicui walking towards me.

He has a calm temperament and a clever look in his eyes. Behind him is Qiao Yu, who is tall and mighty like a god. He looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.

With Cuicui's arrival, Qingyun Pavilion seemed to have found a backbone.

The Jinwu Guards didn't know who she was, but how could the team leader Zhong Yuanzhi not recognize her?

Among the people who have a say in Qingyun Pavilion, there is only one shopkeeper left, and that is Wen Weilan’s sister, Wen Cuicui.

"Miss Wen, right?" Zhong Yuanzhi stepped forward and saluted, "I am the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, Zhong Yuanzhi."

"Master Zhong, it's me." Cuicui bowed without being humble or arrogant.

"Manager Wen, don't worry. We have been ordered to investigate the case. Because of Miss Wen's case, we need to investigate whether Qingyun Pavilion is involved."

"What's the connection?" Cui Cui frowned slightly.

"Of course I suspect there are some...violations." Zhong Yuanzhi said vaguely.

"Ridiculous! Our Qingyun Pavilion is directly under the Ministry of Works and has always been clean. How could there be any violation?" Cuicui scolded.

"So just check it out. If there is no problem, then it's fine. But if there is any connection, then we have to report it to the court and suspend business for rectification."

Although Zhong Yuanzhi knew that Qingyun Pavilion had lost its backer, he thought that Wen Weilan was only arrested temporarily and might be able to make a comeback in the future. In addition, there was some friendship between them since they were young, so he still left room for him in his words.

But Cuicui did not back down: "Then please ask Master Zhong to produce the evidence to prove that you can legally search Qingyun Pavilion..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Yuanzhi took out a document from his bosom. There was a red and gold seal on the paper, and golden light flashed.

"This is the general's order."

Cuicui paused, moved her lips, but ultimately had nothing to say.

Zhong Yuanzhi nodded, slowly put away the document, and said sternly: "So, please cooperate with Miss Cuicui and take out the account book for us to check."

The account books of Qingyun Pavilion are naturally not visible to outsiders.

But it has never been a secret to the imperial court.

A summary must be submitted to the Ministry of Industry every month, so it is quite standardized and impeccable.

I didn't expect that this problem also lies in the specifications.

Cuicui finally took out the account book.

It was a huge jade book that needed to be activated with a token to reveal its contents.

An adjutant of the Jinwu Guard who was good at mathematics took the account book and looked at it for a long time, calculating something with his hands while asking Cuicui for verification.

Although Qiao Yu went to college in the New World, she majored in fine arts, so of course she didn't understand all those crazy numbers. She was almost dozing off while listening to the lecture, when she suddenly heard a loud laugh:
"Ha, I got you!"

"What?" Cui Cui frowned.

"There are clearly 35 flying cars on the books, but there isn't a single one in the warehouse. What does this mean? It's misappropriation, using public property for personal purposes!"

The other party looked very proud, as if he had caught something. His skinny fingers like chicken claws tapped the edge of the jade book and said coldly, "How about it? Do you admit it?"

Cuicui was very stubborn: "No, we made the transfer reasonably."

"Oh? Then where were you assigned to?"

Cuicui was speechless for a moment and hesitated to speak.

This matter... was not made public in the court.

If she said this, His Majesty would probably be even angrier than if she had secretly dispatched a flying car.

Cuicui followed Wen Weilan and was influenced by her, so she understood some of these relationships. But she was still a little girl after all, and when she was suddenly questioned, she didn't know how to answer.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "This matter involves confidentiality. The flying car was indeed deployed by the court, and Qingyun Pavilion was temporarily ordered to act. You will know once you talk to the general."

"So please return all our refining tools. Human lives are at stake now, and the production of flying cars is far from enough. Our workshop has never stopped, and everyone is working overtime for the people..."

Cuicui finally had to bow her head and beg, but spiritual energy was quietly surging in her body.

Taotao and the other apprentices nodded as well, and the refining tools in their hands tightened involuntarily.

Qiao Yu also secretly held a talisman, frowning.

However, Zhong Yuanzhi refused to give in.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. We are just following orders and the procedures must be completed. Take away all the things that should be taken away, not a single one should be left behind."

He still spoke with some compassion.

But the meaning is set in stone.

Cuicui said solemnly: "If we go through the process, I'm afraid... we can't wait any longer."

Zhong Yuanzhi paused and sighed, "But the rules and regulations are difficult for us to follow..."

At this moment, the adjutant who was checking the accounts shouted again:
“I found another major problem!”

Everyone looked at it.

"Your Skynet, apart from the refining of the Sky Sword and the Evil-Repelling Mirror, has almost no other expenses. How can such a huge project be supported with such a small cost? Moreover, I flipped through dozens of pages and did not see even a single word about the operating expenses of Skynet."

He raised his head, his eyes sharp as a knife: "So, is this 'Skynet' really a thing, or is it just a fictitious name?"

Cuicui's cheeks flushed with anger. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Skynet already exists. Can't you sense it?"

"Of course I can sense it." The adjutant closed the jade book slowly, with a hint of pride on his face. "But the problem is that this thing that can be sensed costs almost nothing. So, how does it work? Could it be..."

"What kind of weird method is this?"

This sentence points directly to the core of Skynet.

Cuicui retorted sharply: "The concept of the Skynet system has long been submitted to His Majesty by the Ministry of Industry and approved by the Cabinet. Are you questioning His Majesty?"

"The first half of your sentence is correct."

Zhong Yuanzhi finally spoke and looked at Cuicui with a gradually stern gaze.

"But now, seeing this account book, I can't help but feel confused. What exactly is Skynet? Where is its core? And... who is running it? And who is in control?"

Cuicui watched and finally understood.

This is not a question raised by others.

It was the one sitting on the dragon throne.
