Last Totem Novel - Chapter 353
Chapter 353 Snake City
While Tie Zha and Lu Shanhai were talking, in a small cell deep underground in Silver City’s Wolf Fang Prison, the tall and sturdy Hui Yan Northess was sitting on a small bench, opposite him were two young girls.
One had an indifferent temperament and an exceptionally beautiful appearance. At this moment, he was sitting upright on the chair on the back, drinking the green tea he had just brewed. The other had a beautiful youth and a lazy expression. At this moment, he was leaning against the small bookcase on the side of the chair, seemingly having nothing to do with it.
“Grandfather, this is my sister, Muyu Qinxin.” The tall girl introduced herself. Then, she turned to look at the girl behind her. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Xiaoqing, quickly say hello to Tie Zha’s grandfather.”
“That fellow also has a grandfather!” The shorter girl instantly came to her senses and turned to look at the old man sitting on the small bench with a surprised expression on her face.
Hui Yan choked for a moment, then smiled kindly and nodded.
“She is also your grandson” Mu Yu Ling Lan thought for a moment and said in an accentuated tone, “Friend …”
‘”Ah” Hui Yan quickly reacted, “friend” meaning, then looked at Muyu Qinxin, and said a dozen “yes” successively. It wasn’t until the latter’s face turned red that he withdrew his gaze and said with a serious expression, “In the future, that brat will bully you and tell Grandpa that Grandpa will make the decision for you.”
“That fellow’s temper is very bad. He always puts on a bad face.” Mu Yuqin was not polite and immediately complained.
“When I see him, I’ll beat him up for you, okay?” Hui Yan rubbed his fists and said.
“Are you reluctant?” Mu Yuqin expressed her doubts.
“Why aren’t you willing? I’ve beaten him before” Hui Yan laughed. “When Fifth Brother was born, his little eyes were dripping as he looked at others. He didn’t cry nor make any noise. The doctor said that this couldn’t be done. The child couldn’t live without crying and the amniotic fluid in his trachea couldn’t get out. I was anxious and slapped him …”
“What’s the matter?” Mu Yuqin asked excitedly. Mu Yu Ling Lan also leaned forward to express her concern.
“What else can I do? I’m crying. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I’m crying so much that everyone on the street can hear me.” Hui Yan said.
“Hahahahahahaha” Mu Yuqin laughed impudently. For a moment, a crisp laugh spread throughout the quiet and secluded prison. Mu Yu Ling Lan also pursed her lips and chuckled.
“Right …” Hui Yan subconsciously touched his hand and asked hesitantly, “Do you … do you have any pictures of him? If you do … show me …”
“This” Mu Yu Ling Lan hesitated for a moment. She usually did not have the habit of taking photos, and she could communicate with Tie Zha at any time before, so she did not save it specifically. Just as she was about to apologize, Mu Yuqinxin answered first.
“Grandfather, I do. Look!” As she spoke, Mu Yuqinxin turned on her communicator, pulled out Tie Zha’s photo, and handed it over with both hands.
“Oh” Hui Yan took the communicator and carefully examined it.
The young man in the photo had a deep gaze, a calm temperament, and a distinctive genetic trait of the Northses.
He watched quietly, as if he had forgotten everything around him …
“He looks very similar to his big brother.” After a long time, Hui Yan sighed to himself.
“Big brother?” Mu Yuqin asked.
“He has a biological brother called Raven.” Hui Yan whispered.
“Ravens? Have they met? I remember Tie Zha saying that he was an orphan since he was young.” Mu Yuqin said in her heart.
“Perhaps I’ve seen it before, or perhaps I haven’t” Hui Yan said, his voice sounding much older.
“He” Mu Yuqin wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Mu Yu Ling Lan with a stern gaze.
Sensing the two women’s movements, Hui Yan waved his hand and said, “Nothing much. The raven has returned to the Holy Flame. This is the fate of every Northas.”
Seeing that the atmosphere became sad, Mu Yu Ling Lan quickly changed the topic, “Grandfather, we plan to apply to the Moon God Sacrificial Priest to restore the Nine Directions Governing Mode of Silver City No. 13.”
The “Nine Directions Ruling Mode” she was referring to was governed by the nobles of the eight territories of Silver City No. 13 and the Divine Rain Prayer Palace. Currently, Silver City 13 was ruled by five parties, and four relatively weak nobles had been squeezed out of the council. She came up with this plan to decentralize power and weaken the influence of the Peter Clan, Burns Clan, Leylin Clan, and Jiang Clan. She was confident that she could persuade the Jiang Clan, the four non-political clans, and the Moon Prayer Priest to support her proposal. At that time, even if Peter and the other three clans were to form a group, they would not be able to stop the new ruling plan.
Hearing Mu Yu Ling Lan’s thoughts, Hui Yan shook his head and said, “Don’t try to anger Brandon until you have enough strength.” He paused and continued, “Last time, we were just lucky enough to scare Morton and Colin into being cowards. Brandon was confused for a moment.” Hui Yan thought for a while and then said, “I read the newspaper a few days ago that Halley Industries found Miller Swich’s lab and has developed a biochemical psionic armor powered by the heart of the Great Abyss Devil and using the devil’s spine as a conductor. It is said that a press conference will be held next month.”
“Yes.” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded and said, “I already received the invitation letter for the press conference yesterday.”
“I heard that old Morton say that you have a good relationship with the third young miss of the Lombardi family, and she even lent you the Iron Guard?” Hui Yan asked again.
“Yes.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said truthfully.
“Then think of a way to get one back. If you advance to the Saint realm, wear the Demon Power Armor, and cooperate with the Elegy of the Sky, plus me, you should have the strength to fight Brandon. At that time, it won’t be too late for you to apply for the Nine Directions Governance.”
“Is Old Peter that powerful?” Mu Yuqin couldn’t help but interrupt. In her memory, every time Brandon saw his adoptive mother, he was respectful.
“He’s talented, and he entered the Saint realm at 49. His strength has always been at its peak. Although everyone is Saint realm, ten Mortons are no match for one Brandon, so …” Hui Yan sighed and said, “It’s better to endure for now. Anyway, he doesn’t dare to do anything to us.”
“Yes.” Mu Yu Ling Lan obediently replied.
A few minutes later, just as the two women left Wolf Fang Prison, Bi Qinglan was brewing tea and listening to the twin sisters Xiao Ying and Xiao Tao’s reports in the hall of the Green Bamboo Residence by the cold lake of the Central Silver City Military Academy.
“We have already found out that there is a secret research institute and a concentration camp 1,300 kilometers southeast of Fengdu.” Xiao Ying said.
“According to our investigation, the sponsors are the Spirit Snake Magician and more than a dozen members of the Spirit Snake Council. We have printed out the specific list.” Little Tao looked at the paper on the coffee table and added.
“Who are the people in the concentration camp?” Bi Qinglan asked. Although she was asking, in fact, she had already guessed almost. Last month, her father repeatedly hinted that Bi Qingluan was not her twin sister, telling her not to be obsessed with revenge on the people of Glory Bloodline. However, in the face of her questioning, her father, Gu Zuo, spoke of him hesitantly, saying half and not half, which made her have no choice but to pay attention to him.
However, she, who was extremely intelligent, quickly guessed what was going on. If she couldn’t even know the secrets of the Spirit Snake Holy Lady, then it could only be related to her. Combined with her father’s words, “Bi Qingluan isn’t your real twin sister”, the answer was on the verge of being revealed.
“Inside” Xiao Ying and Xiao Tao exchanged glances, both of them hesitating.
Seeing this, Bi Qinglan grinned. She picked up a fruit knife on the table, extended her index finger, and placed it on a large washing bowl filled with clear water. With a gentle cut, she actually cut off a small piece of her own meat. The piece of meat stained with blood fell into the water, and strands of bright red blood instantly melted, dyeing the water pale red. A few seconds later, the small pieces of meat that had quietly sunk into the bottom of the bowl began to slowly wriggle, and some translucent tentacles grew out at a visible speed. Not long after, the meat began to swim in the water like a living creature.
This was Bi Qinglan’s Legendary Bug Transformation Ability, “Dugeworm Life”. It could give the body the ability to regenerate itself, just like a dugeworm. Even if it was cut into several pieces, it could grow into a complete individual. Apart from that, Bi Qinglan also has the epic ability of “cocooning rebirth” and the rare ability of “aphid regeneration”. Theoretically, as long as she could survive, she would be able to recover. However, according to ancient records, insecticides who possess the life of a dubious worm usually have a chromosome called “real existence”, which is the key to all regeneration. Assuming that Jade Blue was cut into several pieces, only the part with that chromosome would be able to inherit the ability to insecticide, and the rest of the regenerants would not have the “life of a vortex worm”. However, all of this was only deductions and had not been tested in practice.
Looking at the pieces of meat swimming in the bowl, Xiao Ying and Xiao Tao took in a breath of cold air. After that, Xiao Ying took the lead and reported, “There are thousands of girls exactly like you in the concentration camp. According to our observations, they are all low-level psionic practitioners.”
“What about those who don’t have psionic talent?” Bi Qinglan smiled slightly, but her gaze was as cold as a knife. “How did they deal with it?”
Xiao Ying and Xiao Tao were silent again, as if they didn’t dare to answer.
Bi Qinglan said casually, “Speak ~ I won’t eat you guys ~” However, the smell of gunpowder in her words was so intense that it made people suffocate. Anyone could tell that it was filled with rage.
After a while, Xiao Tao took a deep breath and said, “Supply the experiment and … and …”
“And what!” Bi Qinglan asked sternly.
Xiao Ying and Xiao Tao’s faces turned pale and they hurriedly lowered their heads without saying a word.
After a while, Bi Qinglan snorted coldly and said, “If you don’t tell me, I know.” Then, she stood up and said in a deep voice, “Get Li Bing ready. It’s time for the owner of the Spirit Snake Temple and the chairman of the Spirit Snake Council to change …”
“Ah!” The twins cried out in alarm at the same time.
“What’s the matter?” Bi Qinglan asked.
“Our strength is not enough …” Xiao Ying hesitated.
“Isn’t it enough to add them?” Bi Qinglan smiled meaningfully and said, “Let’s go and receive our troops.”
“Yes!” The two women lowered their heads and replied loudly.
About half an hour later, Bi Qinglan arrived at Twilight Manor and saw You Ge in the hall.
“I accept your proposal last time.” She said straightforwardly.
“Which proposal?” The Temple Princess pretended to be stupid and asked knowingly.
“Fifty-second Silver City, Snake City.” She stared at him and said firmly.
“What about the faith of the Spirit Snake?” The Temple Princess’s gaze narrowed as she asked.
‘”The Seven Spirit Serpent Clans will break away from the temple faith. The Spirit Serpent Temple and its seven branches will be reorganized into the Sun Serpent Cult. They will worship the Sun True God, the Immovable Ming King, and the Heavenly Serpent Holy Maiden. The Sun Serpent Cult is the fifth faith in the world. The Spirit Serpent Holy Flame will not be extinguished” Bi Qinglan paused.
“Alright ~” The Temple Princess blew a kiss at her and teased, “Girl ~ You’re awesome ~” Then, she put away her frivolous expression and changed her serious expression. “What do you need?”
“Money, weapons, power armor.” Bi Qinglan replied simply.
“You’ll get it.” Afterwards, the Temple Princess asked the old butler to open a bottle of champagne. She raised her crystal cup and signaled, “May we have a pleasant cooperation.”
“Happy cooperation.” Bi Qinglan blinked her eyes, smiled innocently, and gently touched her cup with You Ge.
‘”Ding ~” After drinking it all in one gulp, the two women smashed it hard at the same time.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Just like that, the clear sound of glass shattering caused the division of the Far East to begin …
