Zhang Chi thought that he would be persuaded to quit by the school because of the Qin family's affairs, but except for Cao Mingmin's conversation, there was nothing abnormal. Although Zhang Chi has been running for the affairs of the Qin family in many ways, after all, he is soft-spoken now.

Mrs. Han was not in the capital when she went out to recuperate, and he couldn't be contacted. Xiao Changyuan also happened to go to Qiongdao for a meeting at this time, and he was also very perfunctory about the Qin family's affairs on the phone, and Zhang Chi found that it seemed that the whole world was avoiding the Qin family's affairs.

The list of the first ten people to be selected for the Secret Bureau has been announced, and Mada has made it to the list as he wished.

Except for Chu Jianghe, the list of ten people is from the committee training class, and no one in the first year freshmen was selected, which is not surprising, after all, the freshmen are still far from the graduation season, and it is impossible to be entered by the Mystery Bureau in advance.

Most of the students began to enter the intense review stage, because they would face class assignments after the summer vacation, Zhen Xiubo, who was damaged in the Sky Shadow system last time, was ready to enter the third class, this newly established class majored in communication management, and the future work was to ensure the logistics of the Secret Bureau to engage in internal work, and the school had already talked to them privately, so they didn't work as hard as other students, and it was useless to work hard, anyway, it was impossible to become a field officer of the Secret Bureau, and it was inevitable that they would give up on themselves.

Zhang Chi is lazier than anyone else, his laziness is not because he is as self-defeating as Zhen Xiubo and them, he dares to say that he is already familiar with theory, and the theoretical courses of the college are already difficult for him, this summer's exam only has theory, and he can pass the test with his eyes closed, he has been troubled by the affairs of the Qin family in the past few days, and he often wanders in class.

At the end of class, Zhen Xiubo came over: "Class leader, I heard that after this exam, those with poor grades and those with low spiritual pressure levels will be transferred to the third class, if we are still in the same class, we will still choose you as the class leader." She deliberately joked with Zhang Chi, in fact, everyone knew Zhang Chi's ability, and his spiritual pressure of zero was just a superficial phenomenon. In the hearts of the students in the whole grade, Zhang Chi is the existence of the most capable person.

Zhang Chi was not implicated in the Qin family's affairs this time, perhaps because of his excellent performance in the academy.

Zhang Chi actually doesn't value the academy so much, even if he is fired, it doesn't matter, he now has money and some careers, if he is fired, he can go to the outside world to make a big difference, but the academy just routinely interrogates him, and then everything is as usual.

Bai Xiaomi said in the back: "I don't know if he can continue to go to school." ”

Zhang Chi turned around and glanced at Bai Xiaomi, always feeling that Bai Xiaomi should know something, he decided to have a good talk with Bai Xiaomi, he has been paying attention to Qin Luzhu's affairs recently, and he didn't even bother to talk to Bai Xiaomi about what happened in Qingping Mountain.

After school, he took the initiative to ask Bai Xiaomi to go with him, Bai Xiaomi kept a distance of about one meter from him, according to Bai Xiaomi's words, it was to avoid having an affair with him, because this product has its own black physique, and the rumors about him and Qin Luzhu engaging in teacher-student love have been on the rise recently.

Zhang Chi found that Bai Xiaomi's appearance had undergone subtle changes, with fewer freckles on his face and whiter skin, which was developing more and more in the direction of their first acquaintance in the past, simply put, it was getting better and better. Of course, Zhang Chi doesn't think that this is because of her development, this Nizi has the ability to shape herself, and she can become whatever she wants, and it is not unusual for her to suddenly become a thick man with a beard.

In the sinkhole, she gave Bai Mi a queen crystal, and after Bai Mi swallowed it, her spiritual energy must have soared, I don't know where she has reached now?

"What are you looking for me for?" Bai Mi was carrying a canvas bag crossbody, and she actually wore a skirt today, although her legs were not as long as Qi Bing's, but her legs were also very good-looking, Bai Shengsheng's eyes were dazzling, Zhang Daxian looked at her face first and then at her legs.

Bai Xiaomi said: "Haven't seen it?"

Zhang Chi said: "I found that you have become beautiful recently, you love to dress up, and most girls are either in love or have a crush." "This guy has studied the psychology of love.

"Long-winded, hurry up and say something. ”

"Do you have something to do with the Divine Secret Bureau, do you know what Qin Luzhu's situation is now?"

Bai Xiaomi said: "I heard a little. ”

Zhang Chi moved closer to her, and Bai Mi immediately hid to the side, widening the distance between the two to about one meter: "I heard that I made a mistake, it seems to have something to do with you." ”

"What's wrong? ”

Bai Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him: "It's useless to tell you, you still want to help?"

"After all, people have helped me, and I will repay them with a spring of water. ”

"Yo, I don't see that you still have a conscience. ”

"Well, don't think of people like you. ”

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" Bai Xiaomi's attitude was aggressive.

"Bai Xiaomi, I went back to Qingping Mountain on June 1, where we met for the first time. ”

"It's not me!" she still denies.

"I saw a stone house, seven burial mounds, and one of the tombstones had a name engraved on it. ”

Bai Mi didn't speak, and her pace slowed down.

"It says Bai Xiaohong, who is Bai Xiaohong? It can't be your sister, right?"

"I don't know!" Bai Xiaomi, I don't know.

Zhang Chi said: "I also saw the corpse of a fox there, the fur was stripped naked, and the fox could actually speak human language." ”

Bai Mi sighed and said, "Do you think I'm a fox?

Zhang Daxian looked at Bai Xiaomi and smiled.

Bai Mi said: "If you continue like this, you will be insane, and there will be a mental evaluation of the whole school next week, I am really worried that you will be sent to a mental hospital." ”

Zhang Chi also wanted to continue to ask, the motor ran over from behind, Lehehe came to the middle of the two, filling the gap of one meter, this time it looks much more harmonious, the motor came over to tell them that he has been selected into the list of ten people in the Secret Bureau, this thing is so excited that his face is full of red light: "Brother, are you free at night?" I have a treat, you choose the place, Mi Xiaobai, you also come together." ”

Bai Mi said coldly: "I'm not interested." ”

The motor touched his nose, looked at Bai Xiaomi, who was speeding up and walking away, and complained to Zhang Chi: "Look at it, look at it, what is her attitude? I didn't offend her, it was as if I owed her money." ”

"She's always been like this, you've been selected for the list of ten people in the Secret Bureau?"

Ma nodded vigorously: "Really, the admission letters have been received, and I will report at the end of this semester." He handed the notice to Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi took it and took a look, and when he was about to congratulate, his mobile phone rang, and when he picked up the phone, he saw that it was Qin Luzhu.

Zhang Chi was overjoyed, finally had her news, walked to the side and connected the phone. It was really Qin Luzhu on the other end of the phone, Qin Luzhu asked him to go to Wenming Lane's house tonight and have important things to talk to him.

Zhang Chi immediately agreed, and a stone in his heart could be considered to have landed, since Qin Luzhu was able to call in person, it proved that she had regained her freedom.

When Mada heard that Zhang Chi had something to do at night, he had to postpone the celebration of his entry into the Divine Secret Bureau by one day.

When Zhang Chi came to Qin's house in Wenming Lane, Qin Luzhu was already cooking at home, Zhang Chi remembered that the last time she cooked was in Hongxing Primary School, and she burned the entire kitchen because she cooked.

Zhang Chi leaned in front of the kitchen door, looking at Qin Luzhu's tall back, he hadn't seen him for a while, Qin Luzhu had obviously lost some weight, he had just cut his hair short, and his hair was stubbornly supported one by one, just like a boy.

"You go and set the dishes and chopsticks, that's it. ”

Zhang Chi answered, went to the restaurant, there were four cold dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals, all of them were handmade, two meat and two vegetables, Zhang Chi picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of garlic white meat, the meat was stewed a little too much, it melted in the mouth, the taste was acceptable, and the small river fish was fried a little mushy.

Qin Luzhu brought in with a braised chicken, glared at him and said, "This is stealing food?" I thought that my hair was short enough, but when I saw Zhang Chi's bald head that had just emerged with green stubble, he immediately felt ashamed.

Zhang Chi smiled: "Try your craft." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "Go and take out the fish from the steamer." ”

Zhang Chi hurriedly went to get the fish, the steamed grouper was obviously too hot, but thinking about Qin Luzhu's performance back then, it was not easy to cook the rice.

Qin Luzhu opened a bottle of Moutai, Zhang Chi rushed to pour the wine, but Qin Luzhu insisted on coming by himself, and said softly: "I'll come, although this meal is not done well, but after all, I made it myself, I have eaten your rice so many times, I always have to repay you once." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Sister Luzhu, if you have anything to say, just tell me." ”

Qin Luzhu smiled and said, "It's not that I invited you to dinner because I asked you for something, I invited you over today to say goodbye to you." She picked up her wine glass, Zhang Chi touched her, and the two of them drank it all.

Qin Luzhu poured him full of wine again.

"Sister Luzhu, what happened to you during this time, where did Shigong go?"

Qin Luzhu said indifferently: "It's just some misunderstanding at work, grandpa has gone to escape the summer, you don't have to worry about him." ”

Zhang Chi knew that what happened in the Qin family during this period would never be as simple as she said, and a simple sentence of understatement passed by, since she didn't want to say it, she didn't want to ask too much, as long as she got out of trouble safely.

"Sister Luzhu, how long are you going to go out this time?"

Qin Luzhu picked up the wine glass and said softly: "Three years!" He raised his head and drank it all.

"What? three years?"

Qin Luzhu nodded, and Zhang Chi grabbed the wine bottle first and poured her full wine.

Qin Luzhu said: "A few days ago, you ran for the Qin family in many ways, and you worked hard, I respect you for this glass of wine." ”

"I can't afford that, and I can't help much. ”

Zhang Chi clinked glasses with Qin Luzhu, secretly thinking in his heart, it seems that Qin Luzhu already knows that he is running for the Qin family in many ways, although Xie Zhongjun and Qin Junqing are cold to him, they may also be running for the Qin family's affairs behind his back, but they just didn't tell themselves, no wonder Qin Junqing behaved so calmly, and said that he was a mediocre person who disturbed himself, not saying that he was already very polite to meddle with a mouse.

Qin Luzhu said: "Is there any difficulty for you in the academy?"

Zhang Chi shook his head, the academy only asked about his family background, Cao Mingmin pointed out that Zhang Tugen was not Zhang Qingfeng, Zhang Chi was taken aback at the time, thinking that his relationship with Xiang Tianxing had been found out, but since then, the academy has not asked him about anything.

Qin Luzhu said: "You have to be more careful in the future." ”

Zhang Chi pondered for a while, and finally didn't mention what happened to Qingping Mountain, judging from Qin Luzhu's performance, the Qin family must have been in big trouble, so don't worry about her anymore.

When a bottle of wine was about to be drunk, Qin Luzhu finally sighed and said, "Actually, I was wrong for a while, I thought you were Zhang Qingfeng's own grandson, but now I know that it is not like that at all." ”

Zhang Chi was still calm and calm: "You mean to say that my grandfather Zhang Tugen is not Zhang Qingfeng?"

"Zhang Tugen is Zhang Qingfeng, but you are not his grandson, because Zhang Qingfeng is infertile, his two sons are adopted sons, and you and Zhang Qingfeng have no blood relationship. ”

Zhang Chi was a little nervous in his heart, could it be that his relationship with Xiang Tianxing was finally exposed? Qin Luzhu spoke too bluntly, my grandfather is infertile, and someone else would have been in a hurry with you.

"Are you kidding me?"

Qin Luzhu said: "I can't blame you for this matter, I made a mistake." ”

"You're saying I made a mistake when I got into New World School of Management, and I'm not my grandfather's grandson?"

Qin Luzhu sighed and said, "You don't have to worry, this matter will not implicate you, you will still be business as usual in the future." ”

Zhang Chi didn't think so, since it had been found out that he was not Zhang Qingfeng's bloodline, it was impossible for the Secret Bureau not to continue the investigation, if his origin was found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Speaking from the heart, Zhang Chi became more and more indifferent to the academy, and he didn't want to join any secret bureau.

"Sister Luzhu, if I hurt you, I can drop out. ”

Qin Luzhu shook his head and said: "Although you are not a disciple of the Divine Secret Bureau, you have the ability that others do not have, and my grandfather is particularly optimistic about you, thinking that you are the only one in the younger generation who can turn the tide and save the fate of mankind." ”

"You've all made mistakes before, aren't you afraid to make a mistake again?"

"I believe Grandpa! The world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, and the crimes of the superpowers are endless, which is the real reason why the Divine Secret Bureau is in a hurry to be formed. For you, the academy is still the safest place at the moment, no superpower has dared to openly oppose the academy, if you drop out, once you are expelled from the academy, you will immediately face danger, you can save the day when you encounter danger, because you have not met a really powerful opponent. ”

"I don't think the academy will be able to give me shelter. ”

Qin Luzhu said: "The Divine Secret Bureau has announced the list of ten official members, and five reserve members will be announced next, including you and Mi Xiaobai." ”

"I never thought about joining the Secret Bureau. ”

"You don't have a choice. Qin Luzhu paused, and finally made up his mind: "Zhongzhou Ruins can't be saved, and there is a problem with the sinkhole, if it is not handled well, the crisis will break out not long ago, and when the darkness comes, no one in this world can be spared." ”

"What do you mean by darkness?"

Qin Luzhu pursed his lips: "You'll know soon!"

When Zhang Chi left, he met Tong Jianjun and his wife in Wenming Lane, Tong Jianjun pushed Chen Yuting out for a walk, and since he met him, he hurried over to say hello.

Tong Jianjun said with a smile: "Zhang Chi, come to see Qin Lao? I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Zhang Chi nodded and said, "There is something to find Teacher Qin." ”

Chen Yuting said: "Zhang Chi will go to sit at home?"

"No, I'll have to go back and revise for the exam soon. ”

The two of them didn't leave him when they heard him say this, standing on the side of the road and chatting casually, Chen Yuting asked him if he had contacted Xiao Jiujiu recently, Zhang Chi accidentally learned that Xiao Jiujiu had returned to Beijing, but for some reason he didn't contact him, since Xiao Jiujiu began to become popular, they have become estranged a lot, and in retrospect, the last time they met seemed to be about winter, and it was summer in a blink of an eye.

When Zhang Chi returned to the dormitory, he saw an ambulance parked downstairs in the dormitory, and asked his classmates to know that it was Luo Shiqi of the first class who suddenly fell ill, Luo Shiqi is the leader of the first class, and he is also the main member of the elite club.

Luo Shiqi's face was pale and he had fallen into a coma, Liu Zhengyuan came over with a stretcher, and when Luo Shiqi was sent to the ambulance, Zhang Chi pulled Liu Zhengyuan aside to ask about the situation.

Liu Zhengyuan also didn't know very well, Luo Shiqi was found on the rooftop of the building, and no one saw what happened to him.

The teacher on duty came over to let the students return to the dormitory, Zhang Chi returned to his basement with full of confusion, and took a look when he passed through the communication room, the old man on duty in the communication room had changed, and remembered that no one would shout that he would eat pig's head meat and drink two pots of meat in the future, and he inevitably sighed in his heart, to say that this old man is really good in addition to protecting the calf.

Recently, bad things have emerged in an endless stream, and now even the dormitory area has become unpeaceful, is it related to Uncle Qin's departure?

The unfortunate news spread throughout the academy early the next morning, Luo Shiqi suddenly fell ill, this serious illness made his spiritual pressure clear, and Luo Shiqi's spiritual pressure value has always ranked second among freshmen, which shook the entire academy.

Dean Qu Yangming had just taken charge of the academy not long ago, this incident happened, the teaching accident of the Sky Shadow system has not been dealt with, the cause of Lu Baiyuan's death has not been investigated, and now this kind of thing has happened again, although Luo Shiqi did not have an accident in the academy, according to his description after waking up, someone attacked him on the rooftop, he could conclude that the other party was a superpower, and when Luo Shiqi tried to fight back, the other party knocked him unconscious.

Ordinary injuries would not allow the spiritual pressure to be cleared, and Qu Yangming convened an emergency meeting within the academy.

At the meeting, he first made a briefing on Luo Shiqi's situation, and still claims that Luo Shiqi was a sudden illness, and has not made public the fact that he was attacked.

This meeting specially invited the director of the mysterious bureau An Chongguang to attend, An Chongguang and Qu Yangming are not the first time to appear in this small conference room at the same time, the last time the meeting was held in this conference room, An Chongguang was still the dean of the academy, and now he is officially appointed as the director of the mysterious bureau, and the powers of the academy and the mysterious bureau are clearly divided by the superiors.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, Qu Yangming would not have invited him.

After listening to Qu Yangming's introduction to the situation, An Chongguang said: "There is monitoring in the dormitory area, has any abnormality been found?"

Jin Chenggang, a class counselor, said: "I have investigated the relevant surveillance, and I have not found any suspicious characters in the dormitory area, according to Luo Shiqi, he went to the top floor of the dormitory last night to smoke, and did not see who the attacker was, and there is no surveillance on the top floor." ”

Cao Mingmin said: "This is not an ordinary attack, according to the results of the hospital's examination, Luo Shiqi's spiritual pressure is cleared, and the spiritual energy in his body is cleared, and it is likely that someone has taken away his spiritual energy." ”

An Chongguang frowned and whispered, "You mean that a Soul Eater has appeared?"

Cao Mingmin nodded, and could not rule out this possibility.

An Chongguang flatly denied: "Impossible, the last time the Soul Eater attacked the Superpower, it was twenty years ago, and according to the reality of the internal archives, the Spirit Eater has been completely wiped out. ”

Director An should not forget that the Soul Eaters of the past were also transformed from the Soul Destroyers. Dean Qu Yangming said.

An Chongguang said: "Soul Eaters simply can't survive in the current environment!"

Qu Yangming said: "I investigated all the surveillance near the dormitory area, and I didn't find any outsiders entering, that is to say, the soul eater who attacked Luo Shiqi is likely to come from inside the school and lurk in the dormitory area." ”

An Chongguang asserted, "Impossible! The students of our academy have all done the spiritual pressure assessment, and it is impossible for a soul eater to lurk in it. ”

"It is inevitable that there will be a lot of secrets, starting from the upgrade of the life field system, teaching accidents have emerged in an endless stream, which proves that the hidden dangers have not been cleared and the problems have not been found!"

An Chongguang heard that Qu Yangming's words were obviously aimed at himself, and he said calmly: "What does Dean Qu think is the problem?"

Qu Yangming said unceremoniously: "I haven't been in the academy for a long time, and some words are inevitably biased, but I don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

An Chongguang finally realized that Qu Yangming's invitation to come over today was not only for the attack on Luo Shiqi itself, but also for the intention of settling old accounts with himself. An Chongguang lacked understanding of Qu Yangming, only knew that this person was an academic madman, although he was one of the founders of the New World students, Qu Yangming rarely asked about this matter, and he was the only one of the five founders who had nothing to do with the Mystic Bureau.

An Chongguang is not Qu Yangming's friend, in fact, Qu Yangming has no friends at all, this academician who has a great fanaticism for scientific research is still an unmarried, and the reason why he chose celibacy is not because he has no expectations for feelings, but because he has no time to waste on feelings.

An Chongguang smiled indifferently: "Although I am no longer from the academy now, Dean Qu just said that I will keep it a secret." ”

Qu Yangming motioned to Jin Chenggang to turn on the projector, and he presented the comparison chart he made on the projection screen: "You can see the time point when there was a teaching accident in the college. ”

An Chongguang raised his eyes, and when he saw the time point when the committee trainee entered the academy specially marked on the icon, the expression on his face suddenly became unhappy.

"All the teaching accidents started when the students entered the new world in the commission training class, and before that, the teaching of the college was in good order, and there were no teaching accidents and no students were injured. ”

An Chongguang said: "Does Dean Qu want to say that there is a problem with the commission training class?"

Qu Yangming said: "Director An, please allow me to finish my words." ”

An Chongguang nodded.

Qu Yangming stood up, took out the laser pointer, pointed to the projection screen and said: "The entry of the commission training class into the academy is a point in time, and this point in time almost coincides with the entry of the Tianying system into the academy, and then a series of teaching accidents began to occur. ”

He turned the page back - the disappearance of the winter camp.

But no one links these three things together, and thinks that they have nothing to do with each other. But I don't see it that way, including last night's student attack, can anyone tell me what the common denominator is?"

Qu Yangming looked around at everyone, no one at the meeting spoke, although everyone had already understood in their hearts, but it seemed inconvenient to show their attitude in front of the old and new deans, they didn't know the new dean, although An Chongguang left the academy, but he is now the director of the mysterious bureau, and this person has always had a good reputation, a modest and approachable personality, and few people say bad things about him behind his back, let alone in person.

"Conspiracy!"

Qu Yangming pointed to the title with a laser pointer: "It's not an accident! From the beginning of the upgrade of the life field system, it is not a teaching accident! but a well-planned attack!"

An Chongguang didn't speak, and looked at Qu Yangming calmly, this was already a public accusation against himself.

Qu Yangming said: "The first time was regarded as an accident, but what about the second time? After the accident in the winter camp, why did the investigation focus on the winter camp itself, rather than the academy? What about the third time? With so many teachers and students suffering from damage to their spiritual energy and the death of Academician Lu, I am afraid that it will not work to explain it only by the system, right?"

"Dean Qu, you mean that all events are interconnected. ”

"Yes!" Qu Yangming said loudly: "I want to ask one thing, after the winter camp, Dean Han took the initiative to quit the academy, what is the real reason?"

Most of the people who attended the meeting had not experienced the winter camp incident, and even An Chongguang did not know the details.

Qu Yangming said: "I don't want to blame anyone, but since I am the dean here, I have the responsibility to protect the safety of all students. ”

An Chongguang looked at Qu Yangming in surprise, this was to kick all the students of the commission training class out of the academy, Qu Yangming's attitude was so tough.

An Chongguang said, "Dean Qu, can I talk to you alone?"

Qu Yangming nodded: "The meeting is dismissed!"

The participating teachers hurriedly withdrew from the venue, they thought that An Chongguang and Qu Yangming would cooperate tacitly, but today's meeting made them find that Qu Yangming and An Chongguang were obviously incompatible, and Qu Yangming's decision just now was tantamount to drawing a clear line between openness and mystery.
