Chapter 589 The Red Dust Lord among the Flowers
The picture scroll on the table was very familiar to Chen Ling. It was the one he got into the Beidou Consortium by pretending to be a special envoy of the Gold Society and fished it out. There was also a mark of the 8 of Plum Blossoms on the back of the picture scroll.
It turns out that this thing was smuggled out by Meihua 8 from Hongchen Base?
"This painting has been manipulated by Plum Blossom 8, and the real content is hidden in the original scroll.
Chen Ling unfolded the scroll on the table, and after scanning its surface, her pupils shrank slightly.
Chen Ling clearly remembered that he had also opened this painting at the Beidou Consortium, but the painting at that time was of a lady, and what was displayed in front of him now was a woman wearing a scientific research coat, sleeping in a bed dotted with blood. The shadows between the petals.
"Plum Blossom 8 sneaked into Fushenghua, lost contact for so long, and only sent this one thing... Unfortunately, we still can't decipher the content of this painting." Diamond 10 sighed.
"I don't know who the woman in the painting is..."
"Lord Hongchen."
Chen Ling suddenly spoke.
As soon as these three words came out, everyone else present was stunned and looked at Chen Ling blankly, "What did you say?"
"The man in the painting is Lord Hongchen." Chen Ling repeated firmly.
"...How did you recognize it?" Jian Changsheng asked in disbelief.
"I've seen her in the Times Archives."
This answer instantly convinced several other Dusk Club members. After all, Chen Ling holds the [Ling Bao] and it is indeed possible to return to the era before the catastrophe and meet the Hongchen Lord of that year. Moreover, Chen Ling does not need to lie to them.
Plum Blossom J frowned slightly and said:
"The Eight of Plum Blossoms sent this painting out...what do you want to convey?"
"Let us get to know Mr. Hongchen's appearance? Or is there a clue to Mr. Hongchen's location hidden in this?" Jian Changsheng picked up the scroll and carefully identified it.
"These blood-like petals around Mr. Hongchen are indeed rare... Maybe we can really use this as a clue to find the location of Hongchen's base. Mr. Hongchen is there!"
"I have been in the world of mortals for so long, and I have never seen petals like this. Diamond 10, have you seen it?"
"I do not have either."
While everyone was studying the petals around them, Chen Ling, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"Have you noticed a problem?"
"what is the problem?"
"Lord Hongchen, you are not in the life capsule that extends your lifespan."
Everyone froze in place.
It wasn't until this moment that they noticed the most important part of the painting...that is, Lord Hongchen himself.
Both Wakasui-kun and Aurora-kun were all immersed in life chambers before. Since more than three hundred years ago, they have used all means to extend their lives, including fusion experiments, drug preparation, and even trying to reproduce their " "Theory" itself...
Only Mr. Hongchen, not only was he not immersed in the life chamber, but there was no scientific equipment around him. He was just lying there naturally, as if sleeping among the red petals.
"How is this possible... If there was no life capsule, she would have died of old age hundreds of years ago."
"What are the people at Hongchen Base doing? Are they actually letting her lie among the flowers?"
"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange? So far, the Hongchen Realm has shown no signs of collapse, and there has been no intersection of the gray world... This shows that Hongchen Lord's realm is still in a very stable state."
This sentence once again reminded everyone that when the Aurora Realm was on the verge of destruction, the frequency of gray realm intersections was also gradually increasing. Not only was it unable to cover the seven major areas, even after retreating to Aurora City, disaster intersections occurred. Even the disasters in the Forbidden Sea could sense the weakness of Lord Aurora and surrounded him in advance.
But now the world of mortals shows no signs of collapse!
"Could it be that there is still a long time before Lord Hongchen's lifespan comes to an end?"
"But the Red King's prophecy has never been missed. He said that the world of mortals is going to die, which means it is really going to die... What exactly is the problem..."
Everyone gathered around the painting of the Eight of Plum Blossoms and fell into deep contemplation.
"Maybe the key to the problem is not Lord Hongchen..." Chen Ling thought of the spies from the Wuji Realm and narrowed her eyes slightly, "During this period, I also gained something..."
As Chen Ling truthfully recounted everything that happened after she returned to the world of mortals, the surprise in the eyes of the other people became more intense. They were not only shocked by the speed of the Wuji Realm's attacks, but also by Chen Ling's ability to play with the two major forces. Impressed by means.
The floating paintings and the infinite realm are like two tops, spinning around under Chen Ling's whipping...
"Could it be that the crisis in the world of mortals comes from the realm of Wuji?"
"No matter what, let's find a way to find the Hongchen base first." Chen Ling took the initiative to say, "As long as Plum Blossom 8 can be rescued, all doubts may be solved."
"That's right... But in the past few months, the Six of Spades and I have actually searched almost every possible place in the main city, and there is still no trace of the Hongchen Base."
"Will it be buried underground like the Aurora Base?"
"It's hard to say... This is not like the Aurora Realm. Law enforcement officers are walking on the streets. There are always people entering the Aurora Base. You can find the base entrance with a little attention. The Hongchen Base is too mysterious. Whether it is an ordinary resident, Even the police officers responsible for maintaining order have never heard of the existence of this place.”
Chen Ling thought for a long time and quickly listed something on the note:
"Now, we probably have a few plans... First, based on the petal clues on the scroll, cast a wide net and use my connections and influence to see if we can find this place;
Second, find someone who may know the location of Hongchen Base and find a way to get the information from him;
Third, directly find a way to lure out the members of Fu Sheng Hui, then secretly follow him, and follow the clues to find the Hongchen base...
Relatively speaking, the third method is too risky. We finally have an absolutely safe habitat, but it is still too risky to lure floating paintings. "
"I agree. We haven't reached the point where we have to take risks yet. We can try the first and second options first..."
"The first option is easy to say. With the current popularity of the 6 of Hearts, we can use the name of commercial performances to approach major financial groups and political groups. The problem is that the second option...
In this main city of Hongchen, who is most likely to know the details of Fushenghua and the location of the Hongchen base? "
Several people thought for a moment, as if they had thought of something. At the same time, they turned to look at Chen Ling aside, their expressions a little subtle...
The corners of Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and at this time, a name also appeared in his mind.
"I'm sorry, Director Wang..."
