The electric arc struck Xu Le's chest, and the powerful impact instantly caused his knees to soften, causing him to fall to the ground. At the same time, an irresistible numbness surged and occupied every muscle fiber in his body, causing his body to tremble violently. He could no longer raise his right arm that was holding the gun, and the index finger that was pressing on the trigger was twitching violently.
A crisp gunshot rang out, instantly breaking the silence of the night sky of the Great Master Fan Manor. At the same time, the pistol fell to the ground powerlessly.
If it were the old Xu Le, he definitely wouldn't have any ability to move after being struck by such a powerful electric current. However, at the cost of his meridians shattering and using death as a bet, Xu Le forcefully recovered the true qi in his body. Xu Le's realm had received some kind of strong increase, faintly entering into another realm. He didn't completely collapse!
His knee heavily smashed onto the stone floor, creating a shattering sound that would make one's heart tremble. It was unknown whether it was the stone or the knee that had shattered. Xu Le's suddenly bright eyes were filled with disbelief and anger. A scorching current surged violently behind his waist, resisting the invasion of the electric current with great difficulty. It was almost impossible for him to raise his right arm and point his finger at the Great Teacher's beautiful face that was filled with boundless excitement.
There was still half a meter between his finger and that face, and there was only air between them.
However, the Great Teacher's pupils suddenly shrank, and he squeezed out a scream of panic from his lips. With a kick of his feet, his entire body flipped over in an extremely sorry state.
With a 'chi' sound, an invisible force shot out from Xu Le's fingertip, slicing through the air and arriving before the Great Teacher in an instant. The sharp force cut through the thin coat that was fluttering in the air!
The Great Teacher, who was crying out in a strange manner, staggered and fell to the ground. His right hand drew a strange arc in the air and formed a hollow shield in front of his body. With a muffled bang, the hollow fist seemed to have grasped an invisible force, shattering upon contact, causing a few wisps of smoke and dust to fly up from nowhere.
The electric arcs that shot out from the walls of the room continued to attack Xu Le's body. He looked at the other party with grief and indignation, and his body trembled violently a few times before finally falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
…
…
Master Fan slowly opened his right hand and looked at the edge of his palm that had been shocked red with a pale face. He had not expected that Xu Le, who had been hit by several military electric currents, would still have the ability to fight back. With lingering fear, he silently sighed with emotion. The bloodline that his father had excavated in the Federation back then did indeed have incomparably strong genes.
He lowered his head and looked at the tear in his clothes. He couldn't help but pat his chest to comfort himself. Then, he lifted the lower edge of his wide and thin coat with both hands. His bare thighs bounced up in a dazzling manner, breaking through who knows how many layers of black cloth in front of him. He rushed into the white courtyard and shouted, "Everyone come out. The first thing is done. The next thing is tomorrow. Remember to double the thickness of the steel plate!"
The white-haired housekeeper walked out of the darkness with a frown on his face. He bowed and said, "Master, although the palace is used to your … running amok, isn't this a bit too big of a commotion? Also, will we, the ones who do the actual work, be hanged? "
"With me around, who dares to touch you?" Master Fan tugged at the hem of his thin coat and said proudly, "Remember, you are participating in the occurrence of a major historical event."
"Fine." The old housekeeper raised his hands helplessly. Thinking of his master's earlier orders, he said awkwardly, "The alloy prison cell has been prepared for a long time. There is no need to temporarily thicken the steel plate, right? If it is any thicker, then it won't look like a room anymore. It will look like … a large piece of metal. "
Master Fan sighed and turned his head to look at Xu Le, who was being dragged out by the servants. He looked at the unconscious youth's face full of anger and unwillingness. He smiled bitterly and said, "The young people these days are much more powerful than our generation. If we don't double the thickness, I won't be able to feel at ease."
…
…
"Why?"
Xu Le rubbed his red and swollen palm and glanced angrily at the alloy wall with faint palm marks. He confirmed that with his own strength, there was no way he could destroy this room. Who knew how much alloy that evil and sinister fellow had used to create such a thick wall?
"For literature, peace, and love." The Great Teacher's voice rang out, sounding particularly righteous. "You can stay here in peace until the end of the war. That would be for the best."
"Why?" he shouted in grief and indignation.
After confirming that the Great Teacher did not seem to want to kill him or hand him over to the Empire's royal family, Xu Le became more and more confused. They had just been reuniting with each other, discussing their relationship and thinking of a way to leave the Empire. Why did the Great Teacher suddenly turn hostile and lock him up?
"Don't worry, I'm not a schemer. The reason why I could guess that you would come and have a way to imprison you is because I've read too many books. "
"I know that the Federation has a saying with the same meaning: There is nothing new under the sun. I've read too many books, experienced countless lives, and experienced countless complicated stories. So I can guess what you want to do. I also know what you should do."
After a moment of silence, the Great Teacher smiled and said, "Everyone has their own historical mission. Student Xu Le, have you ever thought about what your historical mission is?"
The words were very calm, but when they landed in Xu Le's ears, he felt that the Great Teacher's voice had a hint of frenzy and excitement. He looked helplessly at the alloy walls around him. It was futile.
…
…
The Empire's control of Planet Tianjing continued. Any family that dared to violate the ban and allow flying vehicles to enter the atmosphere would face the most vicious attacks.
The outer space of the planet was filled with the silhouettes of battleships. Countless battleships were withdrawn from various star regions and distributed to a few large space bases in the star system.
Huai Caoshi walked on the grassy path of the Imperial Palace. She raised her head and narrowed her eyes to look at the clear and white sky. It was early in the morning, and the heat of late spring and early summer had yet to arrive. The air was extremely cool, but her mood was not like that.
The Federation's fleet had already entered the Empire's star region. Although they were still extremely far away from Planet Tianjing, although the Federation had never attacked Planet Tianjing, although the Emperor had already drafted the strategic plan of exchanging space for time, as the successor of the Empire and the god in the hearts of the soldiers, a heavy sense of responsibility and urgent anxiety had already pressed down on her shoulders.
Her personal battleship had already been prepared for an expedition. Tonight, she would embark on a space journey to the battlefield.
However, a few months had already passed, and that person had still not been caught. This was like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart, casting a layer of strange and indescribable color on this unknown expedition.
"Your Highness, according to your wise instructions, tens of thousands of colleagues from four departments have worked tirelessly to investigate the mechanical equipment and household electronic devices that have appeared in the market in the past few months. Finally … we found a few target devices. These devices all have some modifications that do not conform to the common electronic standards of the Empire. One of them is a pirated video player that is currently selling like hotcakes …"
Huai Caoshi walked out of the underground palace expressionlessly. Listening to the report of this subordinate of the Intelligence Bureau beside her, she knew that this fellow was probably not used to pleasing nobles. She did not care about the detestable parts of his words and only listened attentively.
"Check it out."
After saying this, she sat in the military vehicle and thought silently for a long time. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and asked, "What time is it in Rio?"
"Nine o'clock."
"It's almost time." It was extremely rare for Huai Caoshi to frown slightly, revealing a troubled and even slightly fearful expression.
Xu Le was on the run in the Empire alone, and could actually escape for several months at a time. The chip monitoring system that covered all the streets and alleys could not find a trace of him at all. Huai Caoshi directly deduced that Xu Le was able to do this without a doubt because of that amazing Nasri.
And to know how Nasri did all this back then, there was probably only one place in the entire universe that could give the answer, and that was … Master Fan Manor.
However, Huai Caoshi did not want to go to Master Fan Manor. Although the beautiful and almost demonic old man inside was her closest uncle, she still did not want to go.
In this universe, the only one Huai Caoshi respected was her father, and the only one she was willing to admit as her opponent was the Federation's war god Li Pifu. However, the only one she was wary of and even a little fearful of was that Master Fan uncle.
This was because she thought that this uncle was sick, very sick, the kind that read too many books and often did not act according to common sense. He was so crazy that it made people scratch their heads in confusion.
Not to mention the relationship between generations, the Baijin Royal Family had always worshipped Master Fan Manor as some kind of transcendental existence according to the blood oath of the distant past. Towards Master Fan's madness, she could not hit or scold him, so … she could only be wary and fearful, and had the impulse to avoid him at all costs.
However, she had to leave at night, and she would not be satisfied if she did not catch Xu Le, so she could only muster up her courage and enter that white courtyard.
Master Fan Manor.
Huai Caoshi sat by the table, holding a teacup and sipping small mouthfuls. Her eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, worried that she would see her uncle run naked into the rain and shout for joy again. Fortunately, it was not raining today, but on that sunny day ten years ago, he seemed to have run naked once?
She furrowed her brows and suddenly turned around. Her short hair fluttered and a cold and ruthless expression suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The heavy alloy door closed silently behind her, and the room was now a prison cell.
"Uncle, what are you up to again?" Huai Caoshi suppressed her anger and slammed the teacup on the table. She shouted at the surveillance equipment installed somewhere, "I am going to war tonight, and I do not want to be forced to listen to some Schiller script test by you!"
After a long silence, the Great Teacher's complacent laughter came from outside the room. "My dear niece, I did not expect that imprisoning you would be so much easier than catching Xu Le."
"You caught Xu Le?" Huai Caoshi frowned. "But why do you want to imprison me?"
