#334 - Chapter 333 The finishing touch
Li Chenqiu stroked his chin, muttering to himself, "Land of Curses."
On the screen, Lu Xiancong continued, "If we don't intervene, after a hundred years, these monsters will gradually break through the seal of the Seal God Scroll and descend again!
The limit that we humans have explored now is the Fourteenth Forbidden Zone, but according to my speculation, the strength of these monsters is generally above the Fourteenth Forbidden Zone, with no upper limit. Each one is a forbidden-level disaster for the entire Tianyuan Federation!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiancong's expression became very solemn, and he said emotionally:
"The only thing we have to do now is to explore the Land of Curses and find unused Seal God Scrolls. Only in this way can our civilization continue!"
After saying this, Lu Xiancong realized that his voice was a bit loud. He squatted down and secretly looked around. Seeing that no one had discovered him, he continued to look at the screen:
"The three major consortia of the Southern Federation are all aware of everything I have said above, and they have already begun searching for the Seal God Scroll. If you in front of the screen can safely return to the Northern Federation, be sure to inform the Security and Unification Department!"
Li Chenqiu nodded in agreement, and said to the air, "What is this key for?"
Lu Xiancong seemed to have heard Li Chenqiu's voice, and reached out to take out the brass-colored key from his pocket:
"It's time to talk about this key. I found it in the Land of Curses, Snow Dusk Mountain. It is related to a very powerful Mystic Artifact—the Finishing Touch Brush!"
Li Chenqiu glanced down at the key in his hand: "Finishing Touch Brush?"
"The monsters sealed into the Seal God Scroll will appear on the Seal God Scroll with a 'pupil-less eye' appearance, and the role of the Finishing Touch Brush is equivalent to a key.
As long as you use the Finishing Touch Brush to add pupils to the monsters on the Seal God Scroll, the Seal God Scroll will lose its sealing ability, and the monsters will break free and return to the world."
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Return to the world?"
If he could kill these monsters and turn them into Soul Soldiers, then...
"Too absurd!"
Li Chenqiu shook his head, throwing away these unrealistic ideas, and refocused his attention on Lu Xiancong.
"This information was discovered by me from a mural in Snow Dusk Valley. According to the mural, the Finishing Touch Brush is too dangerous, so it was divided into three sections and hidden in three Lands of Curses.
One section has already been obtained by the Ito Consortium, and the remaining two sections are still being searched for by the Takahashi Consortium and the Kim Consortium.
The reason why they are so eager to obtain the Finishing Touch Brush is to release the monsters in the Seal God Scroll and use the monsters to severely damage or even destroy the Northern Federation!"
A hint of doubt flashed between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows.
If these monsters are really as powerful as Lu Xiancong said, what will the Southern Federation use to control them to attack the Northern Federation, courage?
Lu Xiancong, who was not in the same time and space, seemed to see Li Chenqiu's doubts and explained:
"The reason why these three major consortia dare to do this is because they rely on the Seal God Scroll. These monsters are not stupid, so naturally they dare not offend the Southern Federation, which owns the Seal God Scroll, so they can only choose the Northern Federation, which does not have the Seal God Scroll."
Li Chenqiu nodded silently.
Picking the soft persimmon, it's the nature of monsters.
Lu Xiancong shook the key in his hand: "This key is related to one of the sections of the Finishing Touch Brush. Take this key to the deepest part of Snow Dusk Valley, and you will see a closed bronze door.
One of the sections of the Finishing Touch Brush is behind that bronze door, and this key is to open that bronze door. You must keep this key safe and be sure to bring it back to the Northern Federation."
After saying this, the screen suddenly flashed, the vast snow disappeared, and was replaced by a dark room.
Whoosh—
A faint flame rose, and Lu Xiancong appeared in front of Li Chenqiu again.
At this time, he had white hair, dim and lifeless eyes, chapped lips, and the skin reflected by the fire was bloodless, clinging tightly to his bones, looking very haggard.
Obviously, Lu Xiancong had been imprisoned by the Takahashi Consortium.
Lu Xiancong pulled his head closer and said in a voice like a mosquito, "When you see this video, I should be dead. Don't feel sad for my death. This is what I have always wanted.
During this time, the Takahashi Consortium has subjected me to inhumane torture. I really want to die and leave with this key, but... I am a selfish person."
Lu Xiancong smiled helplessly: "The Takahashi Consortium has planted spies in the Northern Federation. This spy has a very high status. I don't know if he is from the Star Plucking Academy or the Security and Unification Department.
The Takahashi Consortium threatened me that if I dared to commit suicide, they would let this spy kill all my family members..."
Lu Xiancong paused, his eyes slightly red in the light of the fire.
"I have been away from home for many years, and my wife raised our children alone. I am sorry for her. I have made her tired for most of her life. She should not die because of me. She should live well.
And my daughter, my son, I am also sorry for them. I have never had New Year's Eve dinner with them, never celebrated their birthdays, never attended their parent-teacher conferences. I am not a qualified father.
Now they are all married and have their own beautiful lives. How can I bear to personally destroy this beauty? If I do, they will definitely hate me, so I dare not die."
After speaking, Lu Xiancong closed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and two tears slowly overflowed from the corners of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks.
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Xiancong reopened his eyes, placed the memory orb in front of him, bent his knees and knelt on the ground, pressing his head tightly to the ground, begging:
"Please, help me, tell this news to the Star Plucking Academy, tell it to the Security and Unification Department, let them save my family, please..."
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a slender hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed Lu Xiancong's head, and pulled him up from the ground.
Lu Xiancong stretched his hand forward in horror, and his thin palm zoomed in rapidly on the screen until everything fell into darkness.
Pa!
The starlight-condensed frame disintegrated and gradually dissipated into the darkness.
Li Chenqiu sighed softly, "He's a poor man."
After speaking, Li Chenqiu looked down at the key in his hand.
This key is extremely important to both the Southern and Northern Federations. If I hand it over to the Northern Federation, I will definitely get a large amount of merit points, and the path to the Director of Unification will definitely be smoother!
Maybe the higher-ups will give me a lot of money to reward me. At that time, my strength will definitely usher in a wave of skyrocketing!
But... should I really hand it over?
Li Chenqiu hesitated.
