Chapter 949: Era Archive

The King of Silver had always only cared about results, not processes. Chi Tong knew this clearly, but because it involved Chen Ling, the "World-Ender," he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous when reporting...

Seeing that the King of Silver didn't intend to pursue anything else, Chi Tong immediately changed the subject,

"Besides that, King, I have another gain!"

"Oh?"

"While Chen Ling went to kill Spades 8, I went to interrogate that Fang Liangye..."

The King of Silver's hand cutting the beef paused slightly, as if recalling who Fang Liangye was.

"He's the ordinary person from the grassroots resistance group locked in the detention center. You replaced his memories with Chen Ling's," Chi Tong explained.

"It's him..." The King of Silver was clearly interested, "And then?"

"Fang Liangye is an ordinary person who has never even killed a chicken in his life, and hasn't even really argued with anyone; he could only rely on writing letters to reason with people... His personality is too weak and peaceful, while Chen Ling's memories are too stimulating and bloody. After being replaced, he has been in a state of chaos, going crazy in the detention center and giving the officers a hard time." Chi Tong paused for a moment,

"But I thought, since he inherited Heart 6's memories, interrogating him might yield unexpected gains... As a result, I really did get some things out of him."

"What?"

"When I went, he was like someone with schizophrenia, muttering about the Aurora Lord, the Red Dust Lord, the Wuji Lord... then suddenly calling them by their full names, and Lu Xun, as if he were very familiar with them...

I thought, although this Chen Ling is quite famous, he isn't a figure from before the Great Cataclysm, so how could he talk about the past of the Nine Lords so fluently? So I guided him and asked a few more questions, discovering that his consciousness seems to be able to travel between the era before the Great Cataclysm and the current era.

And this travel isn't the power of the 'World-Ender,' but based on an item... He seems to call it, [Era Archive]."

Hearing this, the King of Silver's eyes narrowed slightly.

He put down his knife and fork, tapping his knuckles lightly on the table, as if thinking about something.

"The Twilight Agency's goal is to 'reverse the era and restart the world'." The King of Silver said slowly, "I knew they should have some kind of key to restart the era, but I didn't expect it to allow a person's consciousness to span two eras..."

"This [Era Archive] seems to have three pieces in total, but I couldn't ask who exactly has them... Later, when I tried to ask him other questions, he became completely chaotic, muttering things like 'You did well, child,' and 'I lost a heart, and my brother's life,' and 'My name is Jian Wubing,' and other nonsensical ghost talk..."

Chi Tong shook his head helplessly.

The King of Silver didn't continue eating, but stood up from his seat and began to pace...

"Allowing consciousness to span two eras... interesting."

A sharp light flashed in the King of Silver's eyes. He immediately raised his hand and grabbed gently toward the room where Chen Ling was.

Paper, opera robe, boning knife, paper money, bed sheets, pillows... Countless miscellaneous items began to sway before the King of Silver's eyes. After being stolen to his front, they were instantly returned to their original places. In just two seconds, all the items on Chen Ling and in the room had been stolen.

After a while, the King of Silver withdrew his palm, and doubt appeared in his eyes:

"Strange... it's not here? Since he has traveled through two eras, it means he should have an archive on him... Could it be that he traveled before and then returned the archive to someone else?"

"I guess so." Chi Tong shrugged, "This Chen Ling, his status is just Heart 6; his position in the Twilight Agency isn't high. Such a treasure, of which there are only three in the entire Twilight Agency, shouldn't be kept by him... I guess the Red King must have allowed him to use it a few times, and then it was taken back."

"Three archives... Red King, Gray King..."

The King of Silver stood by the window, looking at the moonlight completely obscured by the haze above his head, a glimmer of sharp light flashing in his eyes.

I don't know how long it had been, but he turned slowly in the dimness, his gaze fixed on Chi Tong, and said calmly:

"During this time, I will be going out."

"Where are you going?"

The King of Silver glanced at Chi Tong, and the latter wisely didn't dare to ask again.

"Then if you leave, what will happen to the domain?" Chi Tong frowned, "Wuji Lord Lou Yu, [Emperor] Ying Fu, and the 'World-Ender' Chen Ling... they are all being suppressed by you."

"Chen Ling is no longer a threat, Ying Fu's goals are consistent with mine and he won't take the initiative to cause trouble, as for Lou Yu..."

The King of Silver paused, "Lou Yu, I have my own arrangements."

……

Boom—

A deafening roar came from afar.

As the bed trembled slightly, Chen Ling, who was in a dream, opened his eyes abruptly...

"...What was that sound?"

Chen Ling muttered, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtain. Under the dim sky, a hint of white was slowly rising from the east. At the same time, a building not far away that looked like a police station was billowing with thick smoke.

Chen Ling glanced at the time; it was about five in the morning.

He hesitated for a moment, didn't go back to sleep, but put on his opera robe and walked toward the corridor.

Although it was still early, many people in the cathedral had been awakened by the explosion. Maids stood on both sides of the corridor, lost and helpless. Chi Tong was walking forward with a dark face and hurried steps.

Seeing this, Chen Ling followed immediately.

"Chi Tong, what happened?" Chen Ling patted his shoulder.

Chi Tong was in a very bad mood. He wanted to tell Chen Ling to get lost, but thinking of the persona he had in the other's memory, he said with a bit of patience: "The detention center was attacked. It must be the work of those witches hiding in the shadows..."

"Detention center?" Chen Ling was thoughtful.

In the Wuji Domain, the detention center was no different from a police station, specifically responsible for public security in the city and used to detain some ordinary criminals without divine paths... But Chen Ling had always thought that those witch forces in the Wuji Domain should have been cleared out by now. Even if there were remnants, how could they dare to attack the detention center so blatantly?

Weren't they afraid of the King of Silver taking action?

"Damn it... why choose this time..." Chi Tong's teeth were almost ground to dust.

The King of Silver had just left late at night, and as soon as the day broke, the detention center was attacked. If Chi Tong didn't believe there was a connection between the two, he would die. It seemed those witches had some means to confirm the King of Silver's status?

And why did they attack the detention center instead of other places??

Chi Tong walked to the cathedral entrance and saw several Fire-Tampers running over, and immediately asked:

"What's the situation??"
