Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 123 56. Now that we have the key, we just need to find the right door

In the small courtyard of Master Weng San, the old man handed his favorite fishing rod to Qiao Ya with satisfaction.

This is probably a sense of ritual unique to old men.

To put it bluntly, he hopes to see a strong successor, but Qiao Ya and Weng Meiyu's performances today were beyond his expectations.

In fact, they had passed the test the moment they entered the Weng family manor.

Although it has been in decline for twenty years, the Weng Group is still one of the directors of the Aqiaoli Group. If Master Weng really wanted a life-and-death power transfer, today's events would definitely not be so smooth. Judging from his previous performance, this old man's intelligence and connections are simply terrifyingly strong. He had already known about Weng Meiyu's series of actions and the news of Qiao Ya's entry into the city.

If you really need to make trouble, there will be plenty of opportunities to take action in the past three months.

The situation of their family is indeed different from that of the Panis family. Compared with the inhumane killings that old Finder carried out when he seized power ten years ago and the bloody inheritance that Moni responded with today, there is still a trace of humanity on the Weng family's side.

The final bottom line was not broken.

"I didn't do that to Weng Mingyue."

The Third Master sat on his beloved fishing chair and said to Weng Meiyu leisurely:
"On the night you rescued your brother, the idiots who committed the crime were buried in a garbage dump on the outskirts of the city. Our family is a family of scholars in the old civilization, and we will never allow such vile behavior to occur.

The reason I didn't explain all this to you is because you are not completely innocent in this matter, Xiaoyu.

You know best what you did secretly ten years ago, so I won't point it out. I spared your life purely because the family was in turmoil at the time, and I wanted to preserve the family line."

"I know."

Weng Meiyu said with a gloomy face:

"If you really want to kill us all, Mingyue will have no chance to get the medical supplies he needs from the family's medical industry. I will make it clear today that I have been trying to overthrow you all these years, mainly because as long as you are around, Mingyue and I will never be truly safe.

And according to the family's order of inheritance, after Aunt Fen disappeared, Mingyue is the most reasonable heir!

I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine."

"Fen girl just disappeared but didn't die, so how could she be the successor?"

Master Weng raised his eyes and said:
"You guys are just fooling around, you deserve to be spanked!

Look at what you have done over the years, using your sex appeal to seduce men and trying to interfere in government affairs from the harem. You are lucky that little Acholi didn't bury you. You tried your best to join this circle, but you don't even understand the most basic rules!

If this company had been handed over to you, it would have been finished long ago.

how?

Are you still not convinced?"

"I just think your reminder came a little late. If you really wanted a qualified successor, you should have reminded me when I first embarked on this path, instead of watching me happily move forward on this stupid path."

Weng Meiyu said in a cold tone:
“After all, you only have eyes for your little Fen!
He completely disdains the rest of the family. If you could have taught me the same way you taught Aunt Fen, I wouldn't have understood these principles only now.

No matter how talented a person is, he still needs teaching and training, but you just pushed me away and let me grow freely like wild flowers and weeds. You haven't put in any effort at all, so why do you expect me to succeed?

You are the truly irresponsible one!"

"Yes, you are right."

Master Weng nodded and said:
“I did neglect this, probably because I’m getting old and no longer have the energy to train another Fen girl. But just when I was in despair, God sent me a big surprise.

Who is this Zhou Ke?
The affairs of the Weng family, Panis, and little Acholi are all related to him, and you two girls are also walking with him, as if his arrival has turned around these desperate situations.

Could such a person really have been born in a land that has now fallen into barbarism?

To be honest, I don’t believe it!”

"I don't believe it either. I don't think that the Bad Land can produce someone like him, but the fact is that he managed to accomplish in less than three months what I couldn't do in seven years despite my best efforts."

Weng Meiyu shook her head and said:

"Maybe he's a natural genius like Aunt Fenn, but that's not the point today."

Qiao Ya nodded and continued:
"In addition to asking you for control of the Weng Group, we both came here today to ask you for an answer to a private matter about my mother. You obviously know more, and we hope you can tell us.

Meiyu already knew my mother's story. She was the one who jumped into this vortex on her own initiative.

She is one of our own now, there is no need to hide it from her."

"Are you sure?"

Master Weng snorted and said:
"Xiaoyu has been used to taking shortcuts over the years. Can you guarantee that she won't turn around and sell you to other dangerous people when she's under pressure?

The aftermath of what Fen did back then is still there. I am not afraid to tell you that the Acholi Consortium has been paying attention to the follow-up of this incident. If anyone jumps out, they will be hit hard. They will not allow Fen to have an academic "heir"!"

"I trust your judgment because the victim has already appeared. Professor Qiaosna is a living example."

Qiao Ya briefly told Mr. Weng about Professor Qiao Sina, causing the old man to tighten his grip on his cane immediately.

He had a gloomy face and said nothing, while Qiao Ya glanced at Weng Meiyu and said:

"As for Meiyu, I believe she won't betray us. She has already suffered a loss in this matter once. She can't afford to offend Zhou Ke, so she won't ask for trouble. To be honest, Third Grandfather, I don't really care about the Weng family's industry and wealth. I care more about what my mother was researching back then.

If my mother thinks that the truth is related to the changes in the world, then that is what is really important to everyone. Zhou Ke warned me not to take risks on this matter, and I have been restraining my curiosity.

But in fact, I have actually come into contact with the truth of that year."

She told the Third Master about the information kept in the consortium's bank vault, but the Third Master shook his head and said:
"It wasn't your good-for-nothing father who deposited the money. It was me who deposited the money in his name. It was arranged by that 'noble man'. As a result, the entire Weng family almost lost everything because of this.

There is not much to say about this.

When Fen left the city-state area and investigated the bad land, I was also in charge of it. You don't really think that Fen, an ordinary girl, can escape the bombing of the most elite assassination team of the Acholi Consortium, right?
The stupid Snake State Knight Commander next to her almost died in the assassination. Xiaoya, the people who rescued your mother were not only Qiao Can, who was a loser but had good luck and happened to pass by, but also the security personnel sent by your grandfather.

The fact that your mother was rescued and survived, and that you were kept alive in her belly, was also the result of me personally dispatching a batch of medical equipment to the evil land.

I knew about your existence before you were born. The reason why little Fen has been able to live peacefully for so many years is because I tore down the Weng family’s house to save her life, and she also had the help of noble people.

The truth you told is important, and I know it.

Although I am not a scientist, I believe in Fen's judgment in this regard.

But that's the problem.

If even a genius like Fen can't take the step of spreading the truth, then other ordinary people have even less hope.

That noble man said that leaving those things behind was just to leave a little hope for the future. He and I didn't have much confidence in this matter. It would be too difficult to go back to the path that Miss Fen took in today's environment.

The Acholi Group's strict defense is to ensure that those things will not be unearthed again.

You are determined to take this difficult path."

The Third Master sighed and said:

"Forget it, my children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I don't have that much time and energy to take care of all this for you. You can decide for yourself how to go in the future. This is all I know. If you want to know more, you can only find it yourself."

"It's okay, Third Grandpa. I'm already satisfied that you can tell me the truth about what happened back then."

Qiao Ya held Master Weng's hand and said:

"You've been tired for so many years, it's time to take a break. Let Meiyu handle the family affairs from now on. I won't interfere with her actions. I still have to finish my mother's course. I can't be a person like my mother, but I must fulfill her last wish.

The world is rotten now, and if the 'truth' my mother found can make it a little better, then it is meaningful. "

"Well, you have lofty aspirations and are not affected by the petty intrigues in front of you. You are really a good girl."

Master Weng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Weng Meiyu again, then sighed helplessly and shook his head.

This expression completely broke down Weng Meiyu's defense.

No!

What do you mean, old man?
Am I really that much worse than Xiaoya?

"Little Aqiaoli is going to fight with Shunguang. Since you two girls are on his side, you must go all out." The Third Master continued to instruct:

“When you make a bet like this, you must not be half-hearted. The fate of that worthless Fender is a bloody example, but little Acholi is a man who can accomplish things!
He is not as gifted as his father, but he inherited old Acholi's extreme temper. He will accomplish what he sets his mind to, no matter how many casualties it suffers. Now, the two giants, Maca and Ladys, are on his side. Shunguang also lost the No. 1 Research Institute and the monster Takahashi Santaifu a year ago. Roger alone cannot handle the whole thing.

Unless Eden gives him support, he will definitely lose this battle!
Without the bloodsucking of the flash, the consortium's system in the surface world will surely be able to operate again under the operation of little Acholi. In addition, the boy is determined to promote the plan sent by Xiaoyu. He wants to do something practical in the surface world and implement the rules and regulations set by everyone when the Badlands Reservation was established thirty-eight years ago.

Perhaps after this storm, the surface world can really make some splashes in the stagnant water.

But you have to know that the core of reform in this era does not lie in the efforts on the earth, but in the attitude of the Garden of Eden. The thoughts of those people in heaven are not as complicated as you think. If I were to say, they are nothing more than a group of dry bones in the grave who are escaping death.

However, it is still unknown how old Acholi will react to this. Once the 'god' who truly controls the Bad Land reacts, you two sisters must think twice before acting."

"Is he really that powerful?"

Weng Meiyu whispered:

"I can sense that young Acholi is afraid of his father in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have waited seven years to take action, but we know too little about old Dr. Acholi. Have you met him?"

"Of course I have, how can I put it."

Master Weng thought for a moment and came to a conclusion that shocked both Weng Meiyu and Qiao Ya:

“This world should have died when the old civilization collapsed, but it was old Acholi who pulled off an incredible turnaround and kept civilization going for another thirty-eight years.

When he was still on the surface, he was the real backbone of everyone. However, after he went to the Garden of Eden, he seemed to have become a different person. He no longer cared about the surface and civilization, as if he had become the cold-blooded and ruthless god in the legend.

No one knows what kind of research old Acholi is doing in the Garden of Eden, but according to my information channels, some old friends have relayed information saying that even in the Garden of Eden, not many people have seen old Acholi appear in these years.

He seemed to have disappeared, leaving everything to his three disciples.

Han Bin is not so bad. He is a steady person and has been in charge of the Garden of Eden for more than 30 years without any trouble.

But Roger and Takahashi Santaifu are not the kind of people who get things done. One of them is cold and the other is vicious. Both of them are the kind of stupid guys who have never done any housework and don't care at all about the impact their series of demands in the surface world will have on the Badlands Reservation.

They regard the study of blink of an eye as the core of the consortium's operation, which has led to the current badlands scene.

Getting rid of these two people will be beneficial to the surface world. This is probably why the two giants, Maka and Ledis, firmly support little Acholi. Everyone has been annoyed by Shunguang, the "blood-sucking leech".

Takahashi disappeared in an accident a year ago, leaving Roger alone. This was a godsend.

In short, old Acholi is too far from your level, so there is no need to worry about him. Even if the sky falls, his son who is determined to set things right will support him."

"Ah."

The two girls nodded and were about to ask more questions when they saw the head maid Noka come forward and report:
"Mr. Zhou Ke and Instructor D-4 are here."

"Ok?"

Mr. Weng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his hand and said:
"Please come in! It's such good luck that you have such a distinguished guest. No wonder I heard the magpie calling this morning. It's a double blessing today."

Not long after, Zhou Ke walked into the courtyard, with the smell of gunpowder still lingering.

He looked around, then waved his thumb at Mr. Weng San who was leaning on his cane and said:

"You really know how to enjoy life. Look at how nice this yard is. When I get old, I will choose a similar place for myself to live in."

"Oh, you're really good at talking."

The Third Master laughed and said:
"You look just like me when I was young, but I didn't have your skills when I was young. Ladies, please go out first. I'm going to have a chat with Mr. Zhou Ke."

This order to expel guests made Weng Meiyu and Qiao Ya very confused, but they still left the yard. After the others left, Mr. Weng's face darkened. He stared at Zhou Ke, looked him up and down, and said:

“You’re not from here.”

"Well, of course I'm not. I'm from the Bad Land."

"No! You are not from this era!"

"."

Zhou Ke stopped lighting a cigarette, looked at the old man in front of him, and said:
"How did you know? I thought I disguised myself well."

"No matter how hard a wolf tries, it can't pretend to be a dog. I've lived a carefree life in the old civilization for most of my life. I can tell at a glance that you are more like us when we were young. Behavior can be disguised, personality can be hidden, but some things in your bones can't be hidden!"

The Third Master walked up to Zhou Ke and walked around him twice, saying in amazement:
"So, from which time maze did you travel to this terrible era?"

"more or less."

Zhou Ke shrugged and said:

“But I can’t go back.”

"Of course, everyone dreams of going back, but no one can go back."

The third master shook his head and said:

"I can only live in this cesspool with my nose pinched, but people cannot and should not live in this kind of environment. Do you know how Fen persuaded me to support her choice to give up inheriting the family?
She told me she might be able to change that.

But she didn't.

If you were to walk her path again, could you change anything?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure, I dare not say."

Zhou Ke denied it three times in a row, then blew out a smoke ring and said:
"But you know, in my situation, if I have any chance, I will do my best to leave here. There is no other place worse than this."

"Well, if I were forty years younger, I would make the same choice as you."

Master Weng nodded and said:

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

"That's it?"

Zhou Ke said dissatisfiedly:

"Normally in this situation, shouldn't an old man like you, who looks so wise, give me some magical skills, secret techniques, or magical weapons to help me accomplish this difficult task?"

"I have left all my property to you. What else do you want?"

The Third Master snatched the cigarette and lighter from Zhou Ke's hand, and tremblingly lit one for himself. He blew out a smoke ring comfortably, and said while coughing:

"It has to be this one, but I am too old. Even if I try my best, I cannot enjoy these harmful but happy things."

"Just a mechanical lung"

"Bullshit! Can you still call yourself a human being after your organs are replaced? That would make you a monster!
I was born as a human being, so I will naturally die as a human being. Alas, I have lived for so long and it is time for me to leave. I can finally put my mind at ease knowing that Fen’s career has someone to carry on. I can now go to see my precious child without any guilt.”

He smiled and said:

"Take good care of them. If you can bring about a new world, please remember to burn a piece of paper on my grave to celebrate for me who has been unlucky for half my life. I'm leaving, there's no need to see you off."

"Beep life support system shut down"

With the light prompt sound, Mr. Weng's smiling expression froze, and he fell down under Zhou Ke's helpless gaze, sitting right on his favorite chair.

Come on.

He had long wanted to die, and was holding on just to wait for Qiao Ya and Weng Meiyu to do what they did today.

"Have a good journey, old man."

Zhou Ke placed the half-burned cigarette in front of him, then turned and left the yard, telling the bad news to the happy-looking Weng Meiyu and the sad-looking Qiao Ya, and then took the fishing rod from Xiaoya.

“There’s something in here.”

Wu Neng reminded him, and Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"Nonsense! If there's nothing to hide, is it necessary for the old man to keep the treasure with him every day? This is a terrible and traditional hiding method."
