Chapter 7: Dark Shadows

Mu Yutong covered his little mouth and watched intently at the father of the iron alarm clock flying into the air at a very fast speed. Lu Zhenliang also held his head in his hands, and his mind was full of the tragic scene of his father being shot down. Suddenly, after the sound of "bang~", the father roared excitedly: "yes roar~!" Perfect Hit! ”。

Before Wang Tao's right hand could be withdrawn from the alarm clock, he saw the alarm clock flying towards him at great speed. "Wang Tao !!" Mu Yutong was so frightened that he screamed, but the corners of Wang Tao's mouth showed a smile, and he shouted angrily: "I thought of it a long time ago!" With his body to the left, his right hand gestured to Mu Yutong and Lu Zhenliang with scissor hands, and the sad iron alarm clock glided past his eyes like this.

At this moment, Daddy added lightly: "Home run!" ”。 Wang Tao turned his head, his eyes were dark, and his face and baseball bat were in close contact with each other. He was hit by a flying bat and flew backwards two or three meters, and after a 180-degree spin in the air, his head landed perfectly downwards again. I saw Wang Tao standing upside down on the sofa, his feet successfully landing on the soft sofa, but his face unfortunately kissed his own floor tiles, and his hands were also pressed under his body.

"Dead?" Mu Yutong slowly stood up, pulled Lu Zhenliang's hand sleeve, and didn't dare to take his eyes off Wang Tao.

"Ken must not be dead, is he? Isn't the big guy more violent than this," Lu Zhenliang also looked at Wang Tao blankly.

"Hehehe~ The final blow!" Dad spat out a cigarette and raised a small cabinet the size of a bedside table with one hand, ready to hit Wang Tao directly.

"Don't!!" Although Mu Yutong was scared, he still shouted and ran in front of Wang Tao, and stretched out his hands to block his father.

Dad held the cabinet and looked at Mu Yutong quietly for three seconds, then raised his sunglasses slightly with his other hand, and continued to look at Mu Yutong, who was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and said, "Hehehe~ Little sister, being hit is terrible!" ”。

Mu Yutong slowly opened one eye and looked at his father, and suddenly found that his father had raised his sunglasses to his forehead, and his eyes were looking at him. So she gradually opened her other eye, looked at her father's dark blue eyes, and said timidly: "Then he will die if he is hit!" ”。

"Hehehe! This kid has a big life and can't die! Dad said and put down his sunglasses, took a deep puff of cigarette, and after spitting out the cigarette, Dad put down the cabinet and said slowly: "Hehe, cough~ Okay!" The first time someone defends this kid like this, I'll spare him once! However, he had to mend the wall himself! Hehehe! ”。

Lu Zhenliang also hurriedly persuaded: "Okay!" I'll make it up with him, Daddy! ”。

"Hehehe~ That's good!" Daddy said, focused on a cigarette, and turned his head a little when he was about to walk to the door, only to see that Daddy's figure looked particularly tall in the sunset shining outside the door, and the white beard in the sun also looked shiny, and Daddy "Whew~" puffed out the smoke, and the smoke filled the sunset. Daddy continued to tilt his head sideways and said, "I still have activities, you little ghosts can do it yourself for lunch!" I'll go first! ”。 After saying that, he left.

"Whew!" Wang Tao suddenly propped up his body at this time, two tubes of blood flowed down from his nose, he seemed to have just woken up, half-squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you eaten?" I'm so hungry! ”。

"What kind of food, your father asked me to mend the wall, and I didn't have to buy materials first? I guess the money is not enough! Lu Zhenliang grabbed his head and was thinking about countermeasures. For Lu Zhenliang, Wang Tao's abnormality has begun to be familiar to him.

"No need! As usual, Material Daddy must be ready! Let's get it later, eat first! Wang Tao stood up as he spoke, wiped his nose, and then walked to the locker and took a few packets of instant noodles and spicy noodles. He held up the instant noodles and asked, "Eat instant noodles, you have no opinion!" There is no food at home! ”。

"You eat this all the time?" Mu Yutong couldn't bear to let Wang Tao eat instant noodles: "I'll invite you out to eat!" ”。

Lu Zhenliang smiled, and when he was about to get excited, Wang Tao answered: "No need, just eat this, I have to mend the wall after eating!" ”。

Seeing that Wang Tao was so insistent, Lu Zhenliang and Mu Yutong had no choice but to accompany him to eat instant noodles. It wasn't until they were eating instant noodles that Mu Yutong and Lu Zhenliang calmed down and inspected Wang Tao's home. They saw that the walls, floors, and ceilings of Wang Tao's house were all patched up, and the furniture was basically incomplete, and they knew that it was all man-made damage.

"Looking at your family, I finally understand why your ability to resist blows is so strong!" Lu Zhenliang ate noodles, looked around and said, "No wonder every time I come to your house, you don't invite me in!" I guess I don't want to be beaten this time, so I can't help it, right? ”。

"Can't you stop eating noodles?" Wang Tao ate instant noodles intently, but he was a little thoughtful in his heart. After a while, he saw that Lu Zhenliang didn't speak, and said again: "I don't want to be beaten!" If it's usual, it doesn't matter how many hits you have, but the injury hasn't healed in the past few days! Also, I'm done, I'm going to mend the wall first! If you're not in a hurry to go back, help me mend the wall, and if you're in a hurry, go back!" Forget it! ”。

After eating instant noodles, Lu Zhenliang and Mu Yutong still stayed, and helped Wang Tao finish mending the wall before returning home.

......

Dusk has passed, and night has fallen. Akai, who had just been busy for a day, returned to the 'Minor Café'.

As soon as he entered the café, Akai took out the fine brandy from the cupboard and prepared to treat himself to a glass of sweet wine. At this time, Akai's team member Ye Xin also greeted him and asked with concern: "Boss, is there any movement of the alien race?" ”。

"Whew~No!"

"In the past two years, the activities of different races have become more and more frequent, I really don't know" Before Ye Xin finished speaking, Akai hurriedly asked, "Is there any new news about that kid?" ”。

"Wang Tao? I received an important piece of information about him at noon today! ”

"Important information?" Akai took a sip of wine and asked suspiciously: "A kid who has not dried up has not learned anything, how can he say important information?" ”。

"Team leader, it's like this!"

"Here, call me boss!"

"Oh! Boss! That's the case, Wang Tao met the 'ghost forest' again the night before! Almost when he was about to see death, the people of the Human Alliance saved him! And, according to the old practice, they gave Wang Tao and his friends a test to enter the Elemental Academy the next day! ”

"Hehe, Human Alliance! Sometimes it's just a lot of! Did they pass the assessment? ”

"If the intelligence is correct, they've passed the test! It is estimated that the people of the Human Alliance will find them in the next few days! ”

"Not in the last few days, it's tomorrow! This is the Human Alliance's style of doing things! And now another potential stock has been discovered! ”

"Shall we do it now?"

"Yes! Not now, though! You do it first! After saying that, Akai took the wine to the warehouse behind the café, and walked along the warehouse for a while, and Akai entered his studio.

"You've been paying attention to that little boy lately! Akai! As soon as Akai entered the studio, the wine glass had just been stabilized, and the lights in the room went out, and then a dark shadow with an unclear face came out of the bookshelf, and said to Akai in a rough voice: "He looks like he does have a lot of potential!" But I advise you not to waste time on a child, you don't think he can save the age of mankind, do you? ”。

Unhurriedly, Akai found a chair and sat down, smoking a cigar that was burning out in the dark room, the red light shining on his face. Under the firelight, Akai was not in a hurry or impatient, and there was a slight sneer in his expression. He kept looking at the dark shadow, and for a long time he didn't make any sound.

"If you don't speak, it means that you are very optimistic about this child, don't you? All right! Let's not talk about children! Akai, let me just ask, how long do you think the human era can last? The Phantom Contract has been lost in the hands of you humans, and if the other aliens knew, I think it would be time to declare the end of the human era! I advise you to focus on your tasks, paper can't contain fire! Especially such a big secret! You must know that after so many years of cultivation, all races have almost recovered. Especially in recent years, there has been some gossip about the loss of the Phantom Contract, and the major races have begun to make a move! ”。

After hearing this, Akai smiled faintly in the firelight, and then flicked the cigarette butt at the black shadow with his middle finger. Halfway through the cigarette butt, the shadow raised his left arm and pointed at the cigarette butt. After a slight "pop", the cigarette butts disappeared with sparks, and I saw the small yellow light of stars floating around.

"I said, a small cigarette butt can't use the power of the spirit!" Akai turned his head to the side, put his elbow on the chair handle, touched his chin with the back of his fingers, and said slowly: "It's not a bad thing to have one more capable person!" Humanity is not lacking in this right now! As he spoke, Akai turned his head to look at the black shadow and asked, "It's you, this is not the place you should be!" If you still want to persuade me to come to you, you can dispel this idea! ”。

"Hey, hey, hey!!" After a rough laugh, the black shadow raised his right arm and said, "Akai! Don't overthink it! I'm here to give you this! ”。 The black shadow opened its palm in the darkness, and five small stones in the shape of purple five-pointed stars appeared in front of Akai.

"Enlightenment Stone? Am I right? Akai frowned as he looked at the dark shadow's hand.

"It's the Enlightenment Stone! There are fewer and fewer artifacts now, and I'm sure you don't have such a rudimentary thing in your hands now! If you're really going to teach that kid, you need this thing! ”

"How do you know about Wang Tao?"

"Hehehe! Akai, know that we are also one of the three organizations that humanity can trust! Since the fire incident in Lijiang in one or three years, you have begun to track down the alien race, and then you have been tracking the fire incident in Shangri-La, and finally arrived in Dali, and you have been tracking the activity of the alien race, which has made a lot of effort in the past two years! I want to tell you that it's not just your organization that's paying attention to you, it's all major organizations that are paying attention to your actions! ”

"I don't need you to tell me! Give me the Enlightenment Stone and you're good to go! I don't want my team to see you! ”

The Black Shadow placed the five Enlightenment Stones on the bookshelf, then retreated to the bookshelf, leaving one last sentence behind the bookshelf: "Don't forget the Phantom Contract!" ”。 With that, the lights came on, and the black shadow disappeared into the room.

Akai stood alone in the room, cut a new cigar and lit the fire, and blurted out casually: "Go through the back door and pretend to be a ghost all day long!" Break my locks all day long, and it doesn't cost money to change locks! I really think our organization is as rich as the Human Alliance! Cut~".
