Chapter 9: Enchanted Objects
Ling Chenxuan opened his eyes, and the sky was already dawning.
As if to compensate for yesterday's bad weather, the sun was shining brightly this morning, and the light filtered through the windows to a faint peach. He lay on the bed and in his clothes, as if he had melted into a light cloud.
The current time is estimated to be around a quarter past seven, and his biological clock usually does not go wrong, he got up from the bed and tidied up the quilt and pushed the door out, and found that Gu Fangyan was busy unfolding the pile of counseling materials that were soaked in the rain last night one by one and put them on the coffee table where the sun could shine, and the entire coffee table was almost full.
"You woke up early. Ling Chenxuan said softly.
Gu Fangyan looked up, "Oh, after all, I'm used to getting up early, and besides, I have something to do today." ”
"Aren't you going to class today?" Ling Chenxuan looked at the clock in the living room, it was seven o'clock, and at this point, high school students should be reading early in the classroom.
"Big Brother today is Saturday. Gu Fangyan muttered on the side.
Ling Chenxuan nodded, he had no idea of the day of the week, every day was either performing the tasks sent by the branch school, or training in the training classroom or reading books in the dormitory while waiting for a new task, every day was like this, just like an ascetic practicing.
"Do you have laptops at home?" he asked.
"I have it in my room, but it's a very old notebook, which I can only use for fun and reading. Gu Fangyan checked the counseling materials on the coffee table, and after confirming that it was correct, he straightened up and stretched, "It's in the drawer of the desk, go get it yourself." ”
"Can you connect to the Internet?" Ling Chenxuan walked straight to his bedroom.
"Barely make do. ”
Pushing open the door, Gu Fangyan's bedroom was obviously much smaller than his parents' bedroom, but it was also very neat, the blue quilt was neatly folded without a trace of depression, and there were several posters on the wall opposite the bed, and he saw a two-dimensional figure with blue hair and blue eyes on the poster, and the breasts of a beautiful girl dressed as a maid were about to come out. "Do you like these anime characters a lot?"
"It's none of your business, you just like it......" Gu Fangyan's weak response came from the living room.
The only balcony was in this bedroom, and at the moment a few pieces of clothing hung on the balcony, but more sunlight filtered green through the creepers on the old wall outside, shining on some of the flowers placed on the balcony.
Outside the window, there was a willow tree growing against the old wall, and the branches and leaves of the willow tree could almost be reached. An orange cat who doesn't know whose house is strolling gracefully along the wall, then leaps to the branch of a willow tree and disappears.
He could even imagine a boy leaning his arm and squinting out the window every dusk, flocks of homing birds passing by in the afterglow, and the orange cat sneaking its head out of the willow branches.
There was no one to talk to the boy, and the boy didn't like to be disturbed by others, just a person in a daze waiting for the dark, waiting for the drowsy sunset to go out silently in his pupils.
Time flies, flowers bloom and fall.
…………
The writing desk was connected to the bookcase, and Ling Chenxuan also noticed that there were many inexplicable books on the bookcase, ranging from "Standard Japanese Practice" to the Taoist "Tongxuan Zhenjing", with a variety of types.
Would he also be interested in some ancient Taoist books? Ling Chenxuan thought, but didn't ask, it is estimated that Gu Fangyan will scold and say Are you using a computer or are you doing ward rounds?
Took out the notebook from the drawer, and the electricity, and it took a few minutes to use it after pressing the switch, and the computer wallpaper was a group photo of a family of three, Gu Fangyan was just a child at that time, with a pair of sunglasses on his head, and he looked angry.
His father was a very handsome young man with a smile on his face, and his wife was also very beautiful, and the man put his arm around the woman's waist, and time was frozen in that moment.
But I don't know why, Ling Chenxuan always felt that the man in the photo was a little familiar, and he couldn't tell where he had seen it, but he always had an illusion of déjà vu.
Moving the mouse, clicking on the Internet, typing in a long list of URLs, a few seconds later he entered a website, and was greeted by a few big words: Daomeng official forum.
The official forum of the Daomeng, an internal communication center founded in the name of the Beicheng Higher Education Organization, aims to establish the largest academic exchange platform for studious students, so that everyone can discuss some advanced mathematics, mechanics and the like, but in the end it has become an internal trading center for exorcists.
At the beginning, there were only some students who wanted to make extra money to sell some inferior spirit knives, guns and ammunition, and even a private photo of a senior to induce and deceive the feelings of some innocent juniors and sisters, and then gradually developed into a large-scale formal trading center, selling long knives and spirit runes at low prices, and the whole discussion area was like a black market.
In addition, there are many popular seniors who often post some posts in the community, saying that they are performing what tasks in which country and which city, by the way, with some pictures of delicious food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful women, all kinds of scenery and style, I don't know that they think they are on vacation overseas, and some students who are performing tasks in a remote area where birds don't poop in the corner of the world are congested.
In short, the Daomeng Forum is the largest communication platform for exorcists in the world, whether you are performing a mission in the desert or in the depths of Antarctica, as long as you can spare time to surf the Internet, you will enter this website as soon as possible, and chat and complain with some hard-working comrades who are far away in the world.
Ling Chenxuan didn't have the habit of posting and chatting in the community, his only interest was to take a look around those trading areas, and if there were any ghost-killing weapons that would help his task, he would buy them, and then the responsible personnel would non-stop airdrop the trading goods to his current location, which was quite efficient.
Since it was early in the morning, the forum area was a little deserted, but he still noticed a pinned post at once.
The poster is Luo Fan.,A pretty famous exorcist.,Uninhibited and powerful.,Usually the activity value in the forum area is very high.,Basically, I love to post when there's nothing to do.,The writing is great.,No matter how unpopular and remote he is.,As long as you write a few paragraphs.,It will become a charming and open-minded city.,So he can always rely on his unique style and personal charm to harvest a large wave of students' hearts.。
Ling Chenxuan wouldn't have paid attention to him at all, but this time his gaze was firmly fixed on the title of the post that was pinned to the top.
Double-clicked to open, Ling Chenxuan carefully read the entire content, and not even a single punctuation mark was left behind.
The general content is that the exorcist Luo Fan is sent by the branch to track down an enchantment suspected to be the remains of the king's general, and the members responsible for transporting the enchantment are obviously from a heavily disciplined underground organization, and there are many lost among them. Enchantments are vital to the underworld, they are the only vessel for resurrecting the king, and tracking down such a thing is undoubtedly a challenging task for the exorcists, and Luo Fan chased almost all the way from the northern city to the southern part of the martial city.
But helplessly, the other party's whereabouts are secretive, different cities have different joint locations, and Luo Fan is nervous, he chased for three days and didn't catch up, and the designated time for all tasks was one week, he was worried that he would run all over China if he continued to chase like this, so he asked on the forum who was on a mission near Wucheng, and everyone worked together to make a dumpling.
It stands to reason that exorcists can't cooperate with each other, but considering the importance of the enchantment, the branch turned a blind eye to it.
Ling Chenxuan looked at the time, the post was sent half an hour ago, there were not many messages, and they were all unreliable, and there were all kinds of unrelated places.
So he left a message: I'm in Wucheng.
Normally, he wouldn't get involved in such things, but if it had anything to do with enchanted objects, he wouldn't sit idly by anyway.
Five minutes later, Luo Fan replied to him: Brother Wow Chenxuan is still reliable for you!
Ignoring the close words, he asked bluntly: What should I do?
Luo Fan quickly replied: There is a satellite global positioning system configured by the branch school in my car, and the system shows that the target is moving towards Xinyang City at high speed, and it is predicted that it will enter Wucheng District at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
Ling Chenxuan was stunned: Why haven't you caught up with the positioning system yet?
Luo Fan: Nonsense...... What can I do if I run as fast as anyone else? They are basically heavy motorcycles, and they drill into residential areas like rats entering sewers, how can I keep up with a sports car!
Luo Fan: And there is also bad news, just a few minutes ago I used up the last spare fuel tank, and now I am stuck on the highway, only you can help me at the moment, or the tracking mission will definitely fail, not only my points will be deducted, but also a lot of innocent passers-by, I am also helpless!
Having a satellite positioning system is like playing a first-person game with an extra God's perspective, even if the player is crazy, he will definitely win the game in the end, but if the computer keyboard is broken, even God can't do anything.
It seemed that he was quite aggrieved, and Ling Chenxuan continued to tap on the keyboard.
Ling Chenxuan: Do you have an approximate location, this city is very big.
Luo Fan: Yes, yes, Jinghan Avenue knows, although I don't know where these bastards are going, but if you want to save time, Jinghan Avenue must be the best choice.
Is it really reliable...... Ling Chenxuan replied suspiciously: You also said before that they like to go to remote places, how can they pass through Jinghan Avenue openly?
Luo Fan: Don't worry, brother, there is a lot of traffic on that road, and no one will pay attention to a heavy locomotive traveling at high speed. But we're different, we're exorcists, and it's a very yin thing like an enchantment, so you just need to find a commanding height to perceive it a little bit, and there will be no problem.
Soon he said: I'm sorry brother, I delayed you in carrying out your mission, the situation is really urgent, and I will definitely record your heroic deeds in the mission report when I go back.
Ling Chenxuan was silent for a few seconds, and then replied by typing: It's okay, I still have plenty of time.
There was no reply, and he carefully read the conversation again.
At this time, a crisp prompt suddenly sounded in the lower right corner, and someone was chatting with him privately.
After Ling Chenxuan saw the other party's ID, he hesitantly double-clicked and clicked on the content of the private message.
Then the expression gradually froze.
…………
"That, I'm going out now, what are you going to do?" At this time, Gu Fangyan poked his head out from the edge of the door and asked him.
Ling Chenxuan closed the website and stood up after closing his notebook, "I'm going out too." ”
"That's it......" Gu Fangyan retracted his head again. Coming to the living room, Ling Chenxuan looked around a little, Gu Fangyan had already spread out all the counseling materials and placed them under the sun, reflecting the bright light.
Gu Fangyan put on a blue casual suit, held a TV card in his hand, and was putting on a pair of white sneakers with a little effort at the entrance.
"I have something important, let's go first, that ......" Gu Fangyan raised his head to look at him, and was a little speechless for a while.
"What's wrong?" Ling Chenxuan also looked at him.
"I don't know if I should say goodbye to you, you should be going somewhere else now, and I don't think you'll be coming back. Gu Fangyan picked up the key on the cabinet and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, shrugging his shoulders, "Aren't you a little disappointed, you met an exorcist like me who eats and waits for death, don't blame me for not being angry, but I really feel that I am just an ordinary person." ”
Ling Chenxuan didn't say anything, put on a long windbreaker from the hanger, picked up the club bag, walked to Gu Fangyan's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Come on. He only said those three words.
"Oooh. Gu Fangyan nodded like garlic.
Probably thinking that the two big men were a little too sensational, Gu Fangyan turned his head and went down the stairs, not forgetting to say goodbye.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the stairwell, Ling Chenxuan looked down at the dark shoe cabinet at the entrance, and reached out to gently open the top drawer.
