Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 377: Same Heart, Different Paths (Part )

The crowd watching the fight around automatically made way for the old man.

The old man paced slowly and stopped about one meter away from Fu Cangzhao, and the applause just happened to end.

It was Grandma Ling.

"Successfully challenged all the teams in three days. In the past, few Southern School tomb keepers have achieved this feat, but you are the first one who was still so comfortable after the challenge." Grandma Ling put her hands in her pockets, smiled and looked at Fu Cangzhao, praising him, "No wonder Xiaoji's senior sister said that you are the best tomb keeper in history."

Every change in expression on the boy's face could not escape her sharp eyes, but today it was strange that she could not read any information other than "indifference" from Fu Cangzhao's face.

Didn’t this child panic a few days ago?

At that time, she wanted to announce the termination of the assessment. If it weren't for the fact that the city had really reached a very important moment and the Southern Tomb Keepers might not be able to survive the crisis, she would not have allowed a child with a poor character to come to the Polar Day Zone for the assessment.

The result surprised her.

During the three-day assessment, Fu Cangzhao fell into the illusion spell more than once, but she was never disturbed by the illusion.

"Grandma Ling, I said, they won't affect me anymore." Fu Cangzhao put away the scepter of death. His dark eyes were indifferent one second, and turned back to their usual lively state the next, even with a hint of acting coquettishly towards Grandma Ling.

Grandma Ling was somewhat surprised by this change, but she didn't find it strange. There were also some northern tomb keepers who kept their work and lives completely separate. She just suddenly realized that Fu Cangzhao was also one of these people, which was why he showed his vulnerable side in front of her, but it would not affect the subsequent assessment.

Those sparkling dark eyes were always staring at Grandma Ling, as if saying: I want a reward!

Grandma Ling felt her pocket, which happened to contain a few sweet and sour candies. Just as she was about to take them out, she suddenly felt a strong force from her side.

"Grandma! Sister Xiaozhao!" A burly figure pounced over like a bear and held the two of them tightly in his arms.

"You kid, Xiao Zhao isn't anxious, why are you so anxious?" Although she was once a member of the Northern Tomb Keepers, Grandma Ling was an old woman after all. Facing Xiao Ling's fierce attack, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she pushed Xiao Ling twice with a smile and scolded him.

"No way!" Xiao Ling rubbed Fu Cangzhao's cheek without any hesitation, and said with a playful smile, "I haven't seen my sister for several years, what's wrong with being intimate with her?"

But this situation only lasted for a short while, and soon Xiao Ling let go of the two. How could she not understand her great-grandfather's temper? If she held him for another second, the situation might turn into a situation where she was beaten up by her great-grandfather.

Fu Cangzhao suddenly spoke up: "The succession assessment usually lasts for five days."

"Still fighting?!" Xiao Ling suddenly jumped up with a strange cry like a mouse seeing a cat, and quickly ran away from the seemingly quiet kitten.

"No." The kitten just raised its tail silently, looking like it was looking for fun.

When Xiao Ling heard Fu Cangzhao say he didn't want to fight, he instantly regained his spirits. He had just said "then we" but before he could continue, he was interrupted by a sudden report.

"The Security Department can't hold it back anymore!" Someone could be heard shouting from a distance, "They're asking us to go get support!"

The man was holding a light computer in his hand, and before the communication interface was closed, he came out in a hurry to call for help.

Fu Cangzhao looked at Xiao Ling strangely: "The Security Department couldn't suppress the fire, so they asked you to go over and put it out?"

"I was just promoted to a full-time position not long ago, don't ask me." Xiao Ling shrugged, looking completely clueless.

Grandma Ling's expression was not much better than Xiao Ling's. It was obviously not normal for the Security Department to ask them for help directly.

Fu Cangzhao stared at the air for a while, then suddenly pulled Xiao Ling's sleeve and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

…and so the situation became like this.

In a corner convenient for hiding, the man in gray cloak was sandwiched between a group of people in white clothes, staring at the two groups of people confronting each other in the open space below.

Fu Cangzhao was very familiar with the attire of half of the people. They were big guys with bald heads and carrying melee weapons in their hands. They were the nuns.

The other half all wore mechanical exoskeletons, but patches of their bodies were often exposed here and there, and the white skin was a bit dazzling to the eyes.

"Who are they?" Fu Cangzhao asked, pointing at the half she was not familiar with.

Xiao Ling put his head close to Fu Cangzhao's ear and whispered, "It's a private association that has been clashing with the Sisters recently, called the Beautiful Boy Mechanical Corps."

Oh, it was them. Fu Cangzhao nodded, and finally matched the confrontation between the party in front of her and the nuns with the memory that Bing Haoqi had passed on to her.

"I just asked, and they said that the conflict between these two societies has been getting more and more intense recently. The Security Bureau can't suppress it, so they should have turned to the military. However, the city defense army is under martial law during this period and cannot transfer people over, so they turned to us." After whispering with the colleague in white next to her for a while, Xiao Ling passed on the information she had learned to Fu Cangzhao.

"How sure are you?" Fu Cangzhao pulled the dark red scarf up a little. Although the scarf made her feel hot when the weather turned warmer, she still insisted on wearing it around her neck, because it could reduce some of the discomfort in the new environment.

Xiao Ling opened his eyes wide and looked for a while before answering her: "I think it's not a question of how sure you are, but a question of how long it will take."

"Well, I'm relieved then."

Since the Northern School said it was okay, Fu Cangzhao didn't plan to get involved in this matter for the time being. But since she was here, she had to eat some melons before leaving, so she quietly disassembled the four parts of the death scepter to observe the details of the confrontation between the two sides.

It’s not that I can’t see clearly, but it’s more convenient to use tools.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked. As soon as she used her reconnaissance equipment, she found two old acquaintances.

Bing Haoqi said that she had received an invitation letter from the Mechanical Corps, so Fu Cangzhao was not surprised that she was in the team there, but why was she wearing the floating gun suit of the delegation leader? How long had it been since she became the leader?

But the other old acquaintance was truly unexpected.

——Ji Liangxi.

The nun's uniform that she once discarded was now on her body, and she was holding a huge hammer in her hand.

The other members of the nun group stood behind her, staring at the rows of beautiful boys wearing long-range equipment in front of them. In their eyes, these guys with thin arms and legs were as vulnerable as paper. It was unclear whether they were overconfident or had a bad memory.

Even though she had the memories transmitted by Bing Haoqi during the rendezvous in Dongrong District as a foundation, Fu Cangzhao could still tell at a glance that Ji Liangqi was obviously not in a good condition. However, she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. She could only feel that this Ji Liangqi was very strange.

Through the reconnaissance part of the Death Scepter, she saw that the two sides seemed to be arguing about something. She could read lips, but she could tell with her toes how meaningless their argument was, so she was too lazy to read it.

I'll go back and register a new forum account, she thought.
