Chapter 273: A Thousand-Year Family, a Hundred-Year Dynasty

“Your mission is to search for the monster knocking on the door.”

In the darkness of night, Chu Xuan and others came to a secret base. At the moment, their identities are all within the Daxuan Demon-Suppressing Temple, and they are members who are specifically responsible for investigating the strange events in Kyoto. Their assignment is more like that of the CIA and the FBI, the former deals with foreign countries and the latter deals with domestic affairs.

As for the strange knock on the door, he was quite curious when listening to it.

In the middle of the night, I will knock on your door. After that, no matter whether you open the door or not, you will die within seven days.

In other words, one family will die every seven days.

When the situation was discovered, three families had already died, but they were all in the outer city area of ​​Kyoto, where civilians and refugees lived. But even so, this strange situation with a high mortality rate had to be dealt with immediately.

“The above is the information we have collected so far. Please work hard.”

“Yes, my lord!”

No one dares to guarantee the success of weird things, so even in this feudal era, no one will say that you will be restricted to solve the case within a few days. Those who dare to say so can expect to be deserted by their friends and relatives. After all, if you challenge weirdness, you will die, and if you challenge yourself, you will also die, so why not take someone with you?
“Chu Xuan, what should we do?”

After leaving the secret base, Ming Yanwei looked at Chu Xuan and asked.

According to the boss’s order, their team, she, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, the high school student, and Zhang Jie, must obey Chu Xuan’s orders. If they have any questions about Chu Xuan’s orders, they can ask him directly through the group chat, but once the plan is confirmed, they must execute it according to Chu Xuan’s orders.

“The boss’s original plan was for us to collect the benefits and he would be responsible for the aftermath. On weekdays, he would spend his time on cracking the main god space. But this time he suddenly had an idea and joined this secret organization. We have to modify our previous plan.”

“for example?”

“The purpose of this organization’s existence is to accumulate power for Daxuan, and then wait until the imperial court collapses, and then he will come out to turn the tide. This power actually refers to extraordinary people and extraordinary items. In a sense, this country may very well be the prototype of various countries and powers in our world in the future.”

“You mean, in our world, the various noble families in the country will also have powerful forces in the future?”

“This is for sure.”

Chu Xuan nodded.

“In a world without supernatural powers, the state can easily make the aristocratic families lose their power. After all, they rely on people and land. As long as they lose these two things, they are basically fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered.”

“But power is different. Extraordinary power does not lie in numbers, it is hidden, and it depends more on genius. Maybe one day, a genius will realize the truth and become invincible.”

“Just like our boss, he is like this. Right now, he is invincible in our world, but his values ​​were formed before he had power, so he did not choose to be a dictator. But if he wants to, none of us can change it. What we have to do is very simple. While completing the task, we can deeply explore this new ruling model, which can also be regarded as providing some samples for the real world in the future.”

“But you haven’t told us what we should do?”

Zheng Zha sounded a little confused.

“What we need to do is to push this forward and accelerate it.”

Chu Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at the bustling night scene around him.

“The emperor and the eldest princess of Daxuan are still too young. Their idea is good to start a new business, but since they are going to start a new business, why not choose to kick the old one? When these aristocratic families focus their attention on Weiyi, it is the time for them to secretly accumulate strength.”

“What do you mean?”

Zheng Zha suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan, feeling a chill on his back. He already knew about the Longyin Base and Chu Xuan, but only now, as a person living in modern society, he realized for the first time what terrible things would happen when such people started to scheme.

That is, playing chess with human lives, and from this moment on, human lives are just numbers.
“Boss, will you agree? If you do this, many people will…”

“Think carefully about what your boss said.”

Chu Xuan glanced at Zheng Zha.

“We are not in the real world, but a projection of a certain point in time in the long river of time in this world. Everything you see and hear is essentially something that has already happened. In the real world, this Great Xuan Dynasty may have already turned to dust.”

“is it?”

Zheng Zha was a little dazed. He had been getting along well with the locals these past few days and had a great time with them. Now thinking back, it seemed so real that he refused to believe that they were illusions.

“There is no airtight wall in the world.”

Suddenly, Li Zhongren’s voice sounded in the group space.

“Don’t underestimate those aristocratic families. They also hold great power. If they can’t tell whether someone is deliberately targeting them, do you think the emperor of the feudal dynasty would not think of this trick?”

“As for the people who hurt this world, how should I put it? They are indeed not real people. We are at a certain point in the past of this world, but this is only for this world. To us, they are real living people. If we cross the line, then we have really crossed the line.”

“Okay, boss, I understand.”

Chu Xuan nodded.

“However, first of all, let me refute your point. I have a way to safely and reasonably let Weird Special target these aristocratic families. Do you want to try it?”
–
“Is this the weird knock on the door?”

A team of six people with third-level gene locks, plus a super brain like Chu Xuan, caught the person knocking on the door after an hour.

A shriveled old man who looks like a night watchman.

After death, it turned into something strange.

Its method of killing is also very simple, which is to knock on the door, spread the curse, and then after seven days the curse will take effect and cause death.

What is not simple is that Chu Xuan discovered that this curse actually has certain regular attributes, that is, once you are infected, even if you are a transcendent, it is difficult to get rid of it. Before the curse dissipates, you will change from death to bad luck.

“A perfect material.”

Chu Xuan looked at the strange knock on the door that was suppressed by Zhang Jie, and couldn’t help but reveal a very fake smile.

“Let’s use it as an experiment.”

Wang family.

One of the five major families of the Daxuan Dynasty, they have branched out and have clan influence in many places across the country. Among them, the one in the capital is not the most powerful. Their most powerful force is in their hometown Jinyang.

But this is only relative to the power of the hometown. The power of this branch in the capital is already equivalent to the size of those families outside the five major families.

But right now, the head of this branch of the Wang family is very unhappy.

The cause of the incident was that the eldest son of the third house died.

And he died at strange hands.

After checking, their people confirmed that it was the knocker who had killed several families recently and started killing again after a period of silence. This seemed to have touched their reverse scale, so the forces within the family decisively began to investigate.

The result was naturally that they traced the creature knocking on the door, and they also confirmed one thing: the creature knocking on the door was not controlled by humans and had self-awareness. Unfortunately, after a battle, the creature knocking on the door was more powerful than they had imagined. The investigation team suffered heavy casualties, and the creature also threatened to take revenge.

A weird being with thoughts.
In the Daxuan Dynasty, he was named King Gui.

Ordinary weirdness is more like a regret, a rule, with fixed laws, but once these weirdnesses continue to evolve and break through the limit, they will become weird kings. At this time, they already have their own self, just like living people. The only difference is that their way of thinking is different from that of humans.

What’s even more terrifying is that if you offend such a weird person, you will be targeted.

Taizu once said, “You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against thieves for a thousand days.”

They were naturally aware of this matter, so the head of the branch family directly contacted his hometown in Jinyang, and the reply he received was that the master of the family would arrive in Kyoto before dark today.

That’s right, this is the heritage of the aristocratic families. They also have their own masters, and their skills can be passed down sustainably.

A grandmaster is the result of a combination of talent and hard work, neither of which can be missing.

Even a large family cannot guarantee that they will be able to cultivate a natural master all the time.

So, for the sake of family inheritance, there are such guardian masters. Their upper limit is fixed, but they can stably pass on their power time and time again. Each family has different methods, but the principles are basically the same.

“Whoo~~~”

A gust of wind blew, and a man in a black windbreaker fell to the ground.

“Wang Zhen, I meet the Grandmaster of the Zong family.”

The patriarch of the Wang family quickly stood up and bowed.

“You’re welcome. Just go and do your own things. I’m enough here.”

“Yes!”

With the Grandmaster here, they can finally put their minds at ease. In this world, there are very few weird things. Even the King of Weirdos is a match for the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster is the power group at the top of the pyramid in this land, and the source of the stable reproduction of humans in this world.

The night was deep, and the Wang family’s master hid in the darkness, observing quietly, not only to observe whether there was anything strange, but more importantly, to find out whether there was anyone here.

No one is stupid, and everyone knows that in the last years of the dynasty, this big ship will be precarious, but it doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, a family lasts a thousand years, and a dynasty lasts a hundred years.

Their aristocratic family doesn’t care about these things. It doesn’t matter who is the emperor.

But there is one thing they are always on guard against.

That is, the emperor used the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf.

As everyone knows, Emperor Taizu Wu left a sky prison for the royal descendants, where countless strange people are imprisoned. It is also the private land of the royal family, and they can hardly interfere. The various jailers sent in cannot really access useful information.

In other words, no one knows whether the royal family is researching the weird.

For example, using weirdness to deal with their big families, causing casualties, will not attract the attention of the big families, and then continue to weaken the power of the families.

This is a very useful possibility.

Even though Emperor Taizu Wu once said that those who take advantage of the weird will eventually be backfired, there will always be people who take risks when it comes to profit. In fact, not to mention the royal family, even their big families have been studying the weird in private.

The difference is that they don’t have a super magic weapon like the Tianlao, and cannot compare with the royal family in terms of research safety and cost. Therefore, they need to understand the weirdness itself so that they can deal with it in turn.

“Hu~~”

“coming.”

A gust of wind blew by.

The Wang family’s master saw something strange.

A shriveled old man was holding a lamp. The eerie green light was reflected on his face, making it look eerie.

It floated into the courtyard silently, and seemed to find the room of the eldest son of the second house with a purpose, and was about to knock on the door.

The Wang family’s master did not rush to take action, because with him around, the curse could not come true. The eldest son of the second branch would at most be unlucky for a few days.

So, he watched quietly as the man knocked strangely on the door of the eldest son of the second house, and then left quietly.

“Hu~~”

The Wang family master waved his robe gently and flew out, knocking on the door in the same silent way.
Leaving the capital, crossing the city wall, and coming to the wilderness
“Is this a ghost market?”

The place where the Daxuan Dynasty was established was the center of the world.

But next to the center of the world, there is another abyss.

It is said that these are the traces left behind after the great battle between Emperor Taizu Wu and a strange emperor.

The legend cannot be verified, but because this place is deep underground and has many twists and turns, it has become a destination for people living in darkness.

Here you can buy everything you want, as long as you have money!
Could it be that someone is really studying the weird?
The Wang family’s master was very skilled and courageous, so he just followed him down.

Finally, the ghost king crawled into an underground cave.

“So brave!!”

The Wang family’s master suddenly mobilized his own strength, and a huge halberd condensed from an illusion appeared out of thin air, directly splitting the underground cave into two. In addition, the container containing the Ghost King was also directly shattered, and the Ghost King inside also died.

“This”

The Wang family’s master was a little surprised. Although he was strong, he had not been able to kill the Ghost King with one move.

Unless, it is not the real Ghost King.

Without caring about the people watching the fun, the Wang family master rushed directly into the cave.

Then he saw various research products. There was also a place in his own family that specialized in studying weird things. Naturally, he knew everything about it, so he quickly figured out that this was a cave that specialized in studying weird things, and the ghost that knocked on the door was the other party’s research product.

The strength is average, but the terrifying thing is that it can make the weird have the ability to think for itself
