I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 77 He is coming

Li Jun is heading to the gate base.

To be honest, this was his first time visiting the Gate Base, even though he was the one who made the gates here.

However, he was still very familiar with the predecessor of the Gate Base.

This is the hospital where he stayed when he was infected with the double pupil virus. He stayed here for a long time. At that time, there were many patients in this hospital who were exactly like him. All of them died from the power of the double pupil virus.

He watched as the number of hospital beds around him dwindled until he was the only one left. He even thought he would die from this strange virus.

It was at that time that he transformed from an ordinary person into Li Jun with double pupils.

The road to the "Gate" base was full of checkpoints, and Li Jun was discovered as soon as he appeared.

"It's Li Jun!"

“It’s really Li Jun, this is real.”

Lu Gang glanced at it and said it with absolute certainty.

Soon, a convoy arrived.

Zhao Nange and Lü Qing got out of the lead car. Lü Qing came up and said...

"I am Lü Qing, it's a pleasure to meet you, Li Jun with double pupils."

Perhaps it was the last four words that were too dazzling, because many soldiers around couldn't help but glance at this person who looked like Li Jun, but was too "young".

Li Jun drove deeper and deeper into the "gate" base, passing through layer after layer of checkpoints, until he finally entered this mysterious place that is famous all over the world.

The original appearance of the hospital is completely gone; it now looks exactly like a military base.

Li Jun originally thought that he would be taken to the "door" on the lower level to take a look, or to a very secluded place for a mysterious conversation.

But instead, he was led to a lobby that was very tastefully decorated, with two sofas and chairs, and a person was standing there waiting for him.

After Li Jun stepped forward, the other party invited him to sit down.

Li Jun didn't speak, just nodded and sat there. Then the other person sat down as well, appearing very friendly.

The other party said, "It is a pleasure to have Mr. Li Jun visit us. In fact, we are able to be what we are today because of Mr. Li Jun's strong support."

"We are deeply grateful to Mr. Li Jun for our success today."

Li Jun looked at him and suddenly spoke.

"Let's finish this quickly, I want to go home for dinner."

The other party paused for a moment, then quickly said, "We're already prepared..."

Li Jun shook his head: "I want to eat the food I cook myself."

Li Jun quickly mentioned his other self in Japan, and the other person immediately became serious upon hearing that.

The other party asked, "Mr. Li Jun, who do you think that is?"

Li Jun said, "To be more precise, what is it?"

The other party understood something: "Mr. Li Jun thinks that thing is not human, but something like a demon or monster?"

Li Jun nodded.

Then he looked around: "You guys don't seem to have made any preparations."

The other party was still somewhat puzzled: "What preparations?"

Li Jun looked at him: "You think that thing is in Japan, so it can't threaten you?"

The other person shook their head: "Although that thing appeared in Japan, the world is one, and we will naturally be affected by it."

“In fact, we have been paying close attention to him ever since he appeared, and we have even started to send people to investigate him.”

at this time.

Li Jun dropped a bombshell, shocking the other party so much that their heart almost jumped out of their mouth.

He said, "That thing didn't originally appear in the Land of the Rising Sun."

The other person's eyes flickered: "Mr. Li Jun, where did you meet him before?"

Li Jun said, "It's in Nangang City."

This sentence struck like a thunderbolt.

Has that thing appeared in Nangang before?
The other party immediately and keenly connected many things: what was that thing doing in Nangang City, or what was it doing in Dongguo?
What kind of arrangements, conspiracy, or plan are involved?

In that instant, countless questions and speculations flooded the other party's mind, making his expression extremely cold.

At this point, Li Jun added fuel to the fire.

He said, "While I can't be entirely sure if it's the same thing I've seen before, its power is extremely dangerous."

"But if it's true, it might not be as destructive as the Candle Dragon, but it's on the same level in terms of power."

After saying this, Li Jun turned and left.

As soon as he left, the other party immediately convened a meeting with members from all sides of the "Gate" base.

"The problem is very serious and must be investigated!"

"We didn't pay enough attention to it before, far from enough."

"Mobilize all resources to investigate all information about him."

"Since he once appeared in Nangang City disguised as Li Jun, let's investigate whether he has done anything else."

"Since he can transform into Li Jun, could he also transform into someone else? We must investigate thoroughly, from the inside out..."

You won’t know without checking.

Upon investigation, some things came to light.

Even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's already breathtaking enough.

in the office.

Lu Gang had just finished reading the information he had just received and felt a chill run down his spine.

"So, these people were quietly replaced by something else?"

"How come we only realized this now? Didn't we notice it at all before?"

"so many people?"

How long ago did this happen?

It's no wonder Lu Gang made such a big fuss, because although he hadn't seen some of the names on the list before, he had heard them a lot in the news.

He had even seen some of the rest not long ago.

This is even more incredible.

On the other side of the desk: "I'm shocked. If this is the only thing that can be found out, how many more can't be found out? How many more things like this are there in the entire Nangang City?"

To be honest, when he saw it, the commotion was even bigger than Lu Gang's.

Lu Gang said, "This is a huge problem. If it comes to light, it could cause serious problems."

At this point, the other party said, "We also found it inside our base."

Lu Gang completely lost his composure: "What? They've appeared inside the base too?"

"who is it?"

"Is it under control?"

The importance of the "Gate" base to the Eastern Kingdom and even to all of humanity is beyond doubt.

If it encounters a problem, the chain reaction that will erupt is unimaginable.

For example, the Jedi-Sky Link project is currently underway, and the Human Alliance is being formed.

All of these will be significantly affected.

Even the slightest problem could undermine the confidence of all humankind, and might even lead more people to the side of the belief in immortality.

This left them no choice but to be cautious and tense.

Lu Gang: "So what exactly is this?"

The other party said, "Our initial assessment is that this may be a being with a collective consciousness. We only arrested a few people, and the rest of the people on the list all received the message and disappeared."

"The one inside our base was exposed at that time."

"And the few we captured also died quickly, rotting and melting rapidly, not like a normal life form, nor like an ordinary superhuman."

"Based on our current findings, we know that they can transform into the appearance of the target and replace him. Not only are their physical characteristics exactly the same as the target's, but even genetic testing cannot detect any problems."

“Even their memories and personalities are exactly the same.”

"The original owner was replaced, and the new replacement didn't even realize that he was a fake."

"Their only weakness lies in their soul, which we were able to detect through Zheng Shiliang."

"However, only a minority of people possess a soul, and they must have registered their soul characteristics beforehand. We cannot find out all the replaced individuals through this method."

"It may have originally wanted to replace Li Jun, but it failed."

Lu Gang: "Replace Li Jun?"

Clearly, the other party did not succeed.

However, this exposed the other party's ambition and goals. This is no joke; they are after the whole world.

He had just enjoyed a few peaceful days when he was suddenly subjected to a lot of shocks today.

Lu Gang asked, "What exactly is this thing, and how much damage can it cause?" The other party replied, "It's hard to predict."

Lu Gang immediately volunteered: "We must send people to Japan immediately to participate in the investigation and find out whether Li Jun is the mastermind behind everything. Only in this way can we grasp the problem from the source."

The person behind the desk looked at Lu Gang and asked, "If we really find the root of the problem, can we solve it on our own?"

Before Lu Gang could answer, the other party said, "That's beyond our current strength to contend with."

Lu Gang understood something: "I get it."

Last time.

The meeting took place in the magnificent lobby.

This meeting took place at a small street stall, nothing special or unusual.

But for Li Jun, things were a little different here.

When he was still an ordinary person, he would often come here to have breakfast, go for a run, or go to work.

He spent most of his life traveling back and forth from here, like an unavoidable transit point in his life.

It was obvious that the other party had investigated him, and they deliberately chose this location.

Li Jun sat on a bench.

The other person was sitting opposite them, while Lu Gang stood behind Li Jun, Zhao Nange stood behind the other person, and several superhumans were on guard in the distance.

Those who pass by probably have no idea what kind of power and influence the person sitting in such a dilapidated place possesses, or what kind of things he can accomplish.

Li Jun watched the pedestrians coming and going, the students playing basketball on the basketball court behind the barbed wire fence, and the women in high heels hurrying to work.

There's a ditch not far away; this is really not a good place.

The person opposite sat on a small plastic stool, looking at the steaming noodle stall, seemingly impatiently waiting for the noodles to be cooked. He seemed to have no airs at all, unlike the person from the "gate" base.

Li Jun looked at the mulberry trees outside the barbed wire fence and spoke.

"You chose this place to tell me that the world is still a beautiful place, and that I was once a part of this beautiful world. So if I don't want to see it destroyed, I still need to do something?"

The other person said, "I just remembered what you said before, and I wanted to go home for dinner and eat the food I cooked myself."

"You should come here often; you'll definitely enjoy the food."

Then, the owner brought over two bowls of noodles and placed them on a somewhat worn-out low wooden table.

The other person picked up their chopsticks and handed Li Jun a pair: "The noodles are here."

Li Jun picked up his chopsticks and looked at the shop owner: "Bring me some vinegar!"

Boss: "Here it is, the vinegar."

The other party did not recognize Li Jun, whether he was the ordinary Li Jun of the past or the Li Jun with double pupils now.

Li Jun, an ordinary person, was just one of countless people who had come here to eat noodles, and he was easily forgotten.

Li Jun, with his double pupils, was high above others and naturally neither had the time nor the opportunity to come here.

After finishing their meal, the customer said, "These noodles are good. Next time I come, I'll definitely try another flavor."

Li Jun nodded: "I hope so!"

It seemed like nothing was discussed at all, but everything that needed to be said was said.

Some things don't need to be said.

Li Jun understood the other party's intentions, and the other party also understood that Li Jun would naturally make a choice.

just.

When Li Jun finished eating and stood up, he walked over to Lu Gang's side.

Lu Gang turned to look at him, and Li Jun chatted with him for a while.

There wasn't anything particularly important to say, just the changes around us, what this place used to be like, but everything has changed since then.

Finally, he said, "When I looked at that person in the video, I don't know why I suddenly envied him. He lived such an easy life."

"Wouldn't many problems become much simpler if we just stopped being human?"

Lu Gang looked at Li Jun in surprise, his mouth agape as if he wanted to say something.

Li Jun suddenly turned around: "Are you afraid I'll become that god too?"

"He has laid the groundwork for everything. As long as I go and kill him, everything will be ready."

Lu Gang said, "You won't."

Li Jun: "Who knows!"

Li Jun walked away into the distance and disappeared after turning the corner of the street. Lu Gang seemed to have seen this scene before.

Long ago, he followed behind Li Jun, watching him run through alley after alley towards the distance, killing the wooden men who flooded into the mortal world.

On Taoshan Island, the other party also disappeared into the alleyway shrouded in mist, thus resolving the problem on Taoshan Island.

But this time, as Lu Gang watched his retreating figure, he didn't know whether the choice and request he made this time were good or bad.

Send Li Jun to kill another Li Jun, a god-like Li Jun.

But what happens after you kill them?

Besides the other person, could the other person become another real-world deity?
-
Nangang City.

airport.

"Is everyone here?"

"Start taking attendance."

"Everyone has arrived."

"ready to go!"

The last time we went to the Blackwater Kingdom, Luo Zhen led the team; this time, Lu Gang is leading the team.

Some were original members, some were newcomers, and some figures and faces are gone forever.

One of the team members was on his first mission and was visibly nervous: "Is this mission very dangerous?"

Lu Gang laughed: "When wasn't it dangerous?"

But that wasn't the question they asked: "If we can't face these dangers at all, what's the point of us going there?"

This is actually the thought of many people. Every time they face an enemy that is too powerful, so powerful that everything they do seems so powerless, and they can't even feel that it has any meaning.

Lu Gang said, "Precisely because we cannot fight against or control these dangers now, we must delve deeper into them, uncover more secrets, solve more clues, and gain greater power through each and every danger."

"Only in this way can we truly take control of the situation and truly change the status quo in the next dangerous situation."

Finally, Lu Gang said, "Haven't you noticed that we are gradually becoming stronger through these repeated moments of helplessness?"

"I believe that this journey will bring about some significant changes."

After returning last time, Lu Gang did not mention what Li Jun had told him.

He didn't know where Li Jun went after he disappeared, or how he planned to get to the Land of the Rising Sun. However, for someone like Li Jun, the distance was not a problem.

They come and go without a trace, seemingly close yet worlds apart, capable of upheaval and chaos.

However, for Lu Gang, most of the time they still rely on modern transportation to get around.

And the other end.

Li Jun appeared at the seaside, intending to swim directly across.

He seemed to sense something, something was following him and constantly gathering information and intelligence about him.

"Come!"

Li Jun did not cast a spell, but a ghostly dragon appeared on its own.

Li Jun didn't use any extraordinary power; his name alone was enough to intimidate the other party.

Then, he had the ghost dragon lead him deep into the sea.

Although it's a trip, you don't necessarily have to go by yourself.

And so he left the sea.

Nangang City.

In every corner, a large number of figures stood up and looked at the place where Li Jun had disappeared.

They have all kinds of faces, men and women, young and old, and each person has a different profession, and they exist in different places.

There were vendors, delivery drivers, corporate executives, government employees, and so on.

But at this moment, they showed the same look in their eyes, the same expression, and made the same movements.

They were saying the same thing.

"He went to the land of sunrise."

"He went to see the sunrise..."

"he……"

Finally, it all boiled down to one sentence.

"he came……"
