Time passed quickly, and a few days later, Xilingchen ended his tolerance to Yixi Kingdom, and left in a mighty manner surrounded by a group of celebrities and businessmen.

Nangong Fei did not appear in the send-off procession, and now she is probably busy trying to find out the spies hidden in the academy.

Beside Xi Lingchen, there was also a girl wearing simple bib pants and two braids. She was the child of the branch family who had appeared in the Luo Family Spiritual Hall before, and at this time, she followed closely step by step, and sometimes turned her head to look at the people of the Xiling family who were walking behind.

Xilingchen did not interrupt her nostalgia. If you want to say how these two people came together, things have to start from a few days ago.

——On that day, Xilingchen came to a coffee shop to wait for the business representative sent by the Xiling family as agreed. And then the young girl who hurried over, holding the jade slip in both hands, and confirming the map as she walked, surprised him greatly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got lost at first, I'm so sorry to be so late. ”

After the girl sat down across from her, she kept leaning over and apologizing. She claimed that her name was Xiling Zi, and she was entrusted by Xiling Jie to negotiate the follow-up cooperation of the Luo family's business, and asked "President Xiling to give more advice".

She wears metal braces, and the corners of her mouth are slightly curled, revealing a mouthful of bright silver, which is commonly known as "steel tooth girl". The figure is even more standard "the same before and after", from head to toe, there are no elements that can be appreciated by men.

But even so, she never seemed to experience the inferiority of her appearance, and always grinned big. Occasionally, he would quietly look at Xilingchen by pushing his glasses, like a star-chasing family who had sneaked into the workplace and was at a loss after being discovered.

In the shopping mall, there are many people who are either vigorous and resolute, or who hide knives in their smiles, not to mention anything else, when the boss sees more big scenes, he will naturally cultivate an aura, after all, the negotiation table is about who can calm the situation first, who will win half first. Like her, she is stupid, like a lamb to be slaughtered, I really don't know how much Xilingjie can't think about it, so he will send her alone to talk about business.

"Xiling Sect, will I send you to be a representative?" Xiling Chen frowned slightly, and raised his gaze sarcastically, "Do you need to tell you the basics of doing business first?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that you look very young, so you should still be studying. Come out to do business at this age, isn't it the patriarch of Xiling, and he doesn't want to pay for your tuition?"

Xiling Zi was startled, raised her head and waved her hand solemnly: "No, no, I have been learning business theory since I was a child, and I am very good at mental arithmetic, as long as it is not too big, I can calculate it directly without a calculator!" When talking about her strengths, she also seemed to have changed from a "stupid big sister", and even her back was quietly straightened a lot.

"Oh, show me one?" Xilingchen seemed to be a little interested, pulled out a page from the folder, marked a few important data next to it, and pushed the paper in front of her, and put it down with the pen.

Xiling Zi didn't say a word, took the paper and just skimmed it for a while, and then picked up the pen and wrote quickly. After a moment's effort, the document was handed over like an invitation, and even under the heavy lenses, it was not difficult to see the brilliance waiting for praise in his eyes.

Xi Lingchen glanced at her answer sheet, his expression gradually increased from the initial disdain, to a little more surprised, and then to the back, a rare flash of appreciation.

"Yes, I'm short of someone like you to help me manage my finances. Why don't I go and talk to the Xiling Patriarch and let you follow me?"

This sentence, he was originally just a joke, but Xiling Zi immediately nodded with his eyes lit up: "The patriarch also means this!" He feels that since you are from the clan, you have never forgotten this old relationship after your career, and now that they are going to reach business cooperation with each other, they should establish a closer relationship." So he wanted me to work at the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce as an intermediary and always convey the latest work instructions to both sides. Since the president also agreed, then I will tell the patriarch the good news immediately!"

Seeing that the more she talked, the more excited she became, Xi Lingchen was about to pick up the jade slip on the spot, and was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly realized that he was actually put on the table.

The Lianghu Chamber of Commerce has reached a cooperation with the Xiling Sect, and the world's gossip media will indeed focus on the Xiling Clan, forcing them to complete the obligation of "semicolon", including handing over part of their income on time and so on. But again, these reporters will also be staring at him for the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce. If the cooperative relationship between the two companies is a little discordant, their pens will definitely be waiting for a long time.

The disputes between the boss class and the workers have always been of general concern to the society. Those who like to comment on micro-time and space are mostly ordinary practitioners, so they will naturally substitute themselves more into the employee class and safeguard the interests of employees.

Although Xilingchen is a well-known profiteer, his black heart is often reflected in squeezing out his opponent's family, "not giving birth to an inch of grass", but there has never been any scandal of exploiting employees. In the eyes of most people who eat melons, this is quite acceptable. This time, the Xiling family is both his relatives and his next family, and how he will treat this semicolon has become the most concerned topic in the business world.

Xilingjie knew that the situation was irreversible, and after thinking about it again, he actually made this decision to "send someone to him".

After all, under the supervision of all walks of life, since Xiling Zi is the representative of the Zong family, it is impossible for Xiling Chen to send her to do chores, and she must stay by her side. There is a person who is supervising you all the time, and you know that she is supervising you, so you ask if you should be in the diaphragm?

Moreover, with this internal response, if Xiling Chen really planned to make any moves that were unfavorable to the Zong family, Xiling Jie could also know about it as soon as possible. In this first game, the two sides were also tied.

After Xi Lingchen figured all this, he only felt a momentary helplessness, and soon, the ghost of the conspiracy crossed his eyes again.

Xilingjie, do you really think you can contain me? Anyway, this girl's financial talent is real, and I want to thank you for sending me such a helper...... What kind of role she can play depends on our respective abilities-

After some casual talk, Xilingchen also learned that Xilingzi is an outlier in this Internet era.

She has been interested in business since she was a child, almost to the point of "not hearing anything outside the window". As a young girl, she doesn't dress up and doesn't make friends with her peers, which is why she always looks stupid and stupid in life. Only when she looks through the ledger can she find her own space and self-confidence.

The children of the separated family, limited by their bloodline, were originally unable to receive the strong resource support of the clan family. But after the Xilingbei incident that year, the family canceled the caste system and treated all the descendants of the separated family equally, and she should really be regarded as "born at the right time".

Of course, until the day he left Yixiguo, Xilingchen didn't know that Xilingzi had a vague admiration for himself.

If he knew, probably in his heart, it would have been easier to completely transform this "undercover" into his own pawn.

Now, he is concentrating on the matter of the Evil God Dao.

Duanmu Zhi once told him that there are many methods in the Valley of Prayer Evil, and one of the most bizarre is that it can bring the dead back to life.

Moreover, this resurrection is not a replica of a walking corpse. He had seen with his own eyes before, there were several deceased people in the Time Clock Tower, who were still living in the outside world in a good manner, and they could say that they could think of kinetic energy, no different from any normal person.

However, it was clear that the people who died in name, the people around them, and even their relatives and friends, no one felt abnormal. This means that their memories have also been manipulated to a certain extent.

It has been an iron law for thousands of years that people cannot be resurrected after death. Xilingchen didn't believe that the Evil Valley had the ability to break the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, this so-called "resurrection" is definitely not just a literal meaning.

According to common sense, after a person dies, he will naturally enter the underworld and be reincarnated. If you use any means to forcibly lock the soul in your body, even if you can do it theoretically, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the ghost world.

If it's not this method...... However, there is also a method that can be called "stealing the sky", that is, when a person dies, all his memories are extracted and injected into a chip. Then fill his old body—or another modified body—with a negative soul that has been washed of his memory, and then inject the chip.

Affected by the chip, after waking up, he will naturally have all the memories of his life, and he will also think that he is the deceased himself. At the same time, because the new soul in his body is full of negative energy, his obsession before his death will also be infinitely magnified in a negative state. In order to achieve his obsession, he will willingly be manipulated by the Valley of Prayer.

Although it is not 100% certain, in Xilingchen's mind, it is probably like this.

At the beginning of the training class, there was a student named Yan Zizhuo, who had always had the habit of keeping a diary. After being erased by the chip, he accidentally found that there were many people and things in the diary that he had no impression, and he had never had the habit of making up a diary, and it was precisely because of this that he discovered the fact that the students here had been artificially erased from memory.

Since then, he has worked harder to keep a diary and keep information through it. Hearing Duanmuzhi talk about this, Xilingchen initially smiled, but the sensitivity of the shopping mall made him quickly think a little more.

Since the Valley of Prayer has the ability to erase and tamper with memories...... It seems that it is necessary to buy a diary and record some important information from time to time. After all, the next person he was about to deal with was the Evil God Dao, and he didn't want to be completely ignorant and be toyed with by them-

Before stepping onto the border, Xi Lingchen's eyes moved and glanced at his feet.

Just now, I don't know if it was his delusion or not, he always felt that his shadow seemed to move slightly.

……

The same incident took place in various parts of the country in the following months.

When someone was grooming in the mirror, the shadow behind her suddenly jumped up and turned into the shape of teeth and claws, which frightened her and screamed; Someone was chatting with friends on the street, and the shadow on the soles of her feet suddenly jumped up and whipped the person behind her, causing a dispute for no reason; and someone had just taken the bun in front of the stall, and before she had time to pay, the shadow under her feet suddenly moved on its own and ran wildly with him, making the boss anxious and shouting: "Catch the thief......

Behind the shadow incident, no one noticed that a figure that was pitch black and humanoid would always quietly pull a sly smile at the place where he was supposed to be his face, and then sink inch by inch, reintegrating into the shadows on the ground.

He is the Phantom.

In the past, he learned a secret technique in the Luo family classics, and he was able to turn into a shadow and be invincible in battle.

In the battle of the Luo family, he was destroyed by the Flame Ghost Emperor, but his long-term cultivation of secret techniques has changed his physique to a certain extent, and his soul can continue to survive in the shadow. As long as the shadow is not extinguished, he can live forever. But on the other hand, he was no longer able to revert back to his human form.

Because of this, he did not enter the ghost world like the rest of the Luo family, but continued to stay in the world with this attitude of not being a human or a ghost.

Even he didn't know what he was. If it is a pure spirit, there may be a chance to take away others. But now, although no demons will come to him, he will not be able to free the spirits from the shadow body. It has completely become a fifth creature that is different from humans, demons, demons, and ghosts.

I really don't know if this result is good or bad for him.

In short, in addition to cultivating every day, the current phantom is hiding in the shadow of others to play pranks, and it has also caused a series of supernatural events in the country. Even the media reported that perhaps the Luo family was full of grievances.

……

In Zhiyuan College, Nangong Fei and the old dean are organizing the qualification examination for exchange students.

Written test, martial arts test, each test, there will be professionals standing beside it, recording the values of all aspects. Afterwards, these values were handed over to the two deans for careful review, but unfortunately, no one's values were found, and there were obvious anomalies.

At the end of the day, no one knows exactly what will happen after injecting the chip until the first sample is present. Although Nangong Fei and others studied day and night, they still had no clue.

As for the students, in order not to cause panic, they did not disclose the news for the time being. But in the absence of any evidence, how to explain to the Heavenly Saint Academy that the postponement of the exchange program has become a vexing problem.

Moreover, the more abnormal the test data is, the more panicked Nangong Fei feels.

According to Xi Lingchen, the earliest trainees of the training class would become like a living dead under the erosion of chips, their eyes were glazed, their activities were slow, and their external characteristics were quite obvious. But now, looking at the students who fought freely and answered fluently, if they really had someone injected with a chip......

That can only show that the high technology of this chip is becoming more and more unfathomable!
