Magic City.

The moist and fresh air is a good medicine to dispel the fatigue of the journey, especially in the summer evening, when the warm southwest monsoon blows on the face, which always makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Of course, half of this effect is due to the regional environment, and half is inseparable from the mood of travelers.

The feeling of going home is always beautiful, especially after experiencing the flood in Suyun City, Qin Xiaoyu and the others who returned to the magic capital felt extremely relaxed, especially Lan Lele, just some shops in the airport made her a little unable to move. People are often like this, only after experiencing some things will they discover the beauty around them.

Mr. and Mrs. Lan Songren and Mr. and Mrs. Qin Zhongxing were waiting at the airport early, and after seeing the two children come out, they immediately surrounded them, and asked for warmth.

Qin Xiaoyu is okay, Lan Lele seems to have opened the chatterbox, and keeps telling their experiences in the past few days, but she is still precocious, and she still selectively brushes over some dangerous things, and that excitement is only low when talking about the outbreak of the flood, but when it comes to the storage ring on her hand, she can't help but show off.

In this regard, Lan Songren and Qin Zhongxing looked at the same ring on Qin Xiaoyu's hand, and their eyes couldn't help but be a little strange.

And Qin Xiaoyu, who had already prepared in his heart, was cheeky, his face did not change, and he even raised his ring, his calm appearance, as if he was asking everyone, we are only twelve years old, why are we wearing a ring?

Qin Zhongxing and his wife naturally smiled happily, even boasting about their good looks, Zhang Yunyan didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, they were both children, but Lan Songren's eyebrows were clearly raised, and the eyes that looked at Qin Xiaoyu seemed to be a little different from before.

The group returned to the research institute with a smile and laughter, the sumptuous dinner had already been prepared, and Lan Lele was still the topic leader at the dinner table, talking endlessly, as if she had more experiences in the past few days than she had in the past few years.

The adults around her also looked at her dotingly, only Zhu Wannan's expression was a little gloomy when she heard that the dam light curtain was shattered by a high-level spirit core, although after investigation, she was not entirely to blame, but the thing was lost from her hand after all, and she still blamed herself in her heart.

Lan Lele, who was aware of it, quickly changed the topic, and in the subsequent chat, Qin Xiaoyu learned that Zhuge Wen had come to come before they came back, and told them all what they had done in Suyun City in the past few days, and at the same time apologized for not taking good care of the two.

In the details that Zhuge Wen said, it even included the fact that they sneaked into Suyun North Mountain in the middle of the night to dig out the ant nest and provoke the black tiger, Lan Lele had to smile stupidly, and he didn't have to think about it, this information must have been told by Su Xiu's guy.

I thought that there would be a lot of criticism, but what was surprising was that for these bold moves, Lan Songren just seriously analyzed the pros and cons, saying that they were not well planned, but he didn't mean to blame them, which made Lan Lele grin again in an instant.

After dinner, Lan Songren called Qin Xiaoyu and said that he wanted to chat, Lan Lele wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qin Zhongxing and his wife, Qin Xiaoyu was not surprised, and followed Lan Songren out of the door.

At night, the magic capital shows its international city, atmospheric, and romantic side, looking at the luxurious high-rise buildings around and the passers-by talking and laughing on the street, which makes Qin Xiaoyu feel more cordial.

"It is your hand to stop the changes between heaven and earth that occur at the last moment of the flood tide. Lan Songren said casually.

Qin Xiaoyu did not hesitate to admit directly, "At that time, there was no other choice but to fight." ”

Lan Songren frowned, "There's nothing to lose, right?"

"That's not it, it's just a big overdraft. ”

"You have a good grasp of it yourself, this is your secret, I won't ask too much. Still, I have to remind you that everyone had seen you use that trick during the Skyfall, and this time it was so similar to the previous ones that it had aroused suspicion. Zhuge Wenming is here to apologize on the surface, but in fact, it is also a temptation, and the Protector Association and the Totem Research Institute have made another in-depth background investigation on you. ”

"Something went wrong?"

"Not yet, but if you keep being so unscrupulous, it's only a matter of time before you're exposed. ”

Qin Xiaoyu smiled helplessly, "I know that I will try to be restrained next time, but I can't watch so many people die for my own sake." Speaking of this, thinking of the building that was finally swallowed up by the huge tide, Qin Xiaoyu fell silent again.

"You don't have any burden, after the Beginning of the Rebellion, I think that such disasters have been happening at home and abroad, and it is already surprising that you can do this level in a completely passive situation. Lan Songren said.

"The disasters in the past were also done by the dark totem?"

"At least half of it. ”

"They were abandoned by the world, they went to the opposite side of the world, and what is even more terrifying is that they have a crazy faith. Qin Xiaoyu said about his feelings about that group of people.

Lan Songren glanced at him and suddenly said, "Do you remember the host named Xia Qi?"

"The one who died on the awakening platform?"

"Well, she didn't actually die on the awakening stage. ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaoyu said puzzled.

"Xia Qi seems to have been stoned to death by a heavy object, but as we dissect the body, we find that she is actually ...... He has long been dead, but the body is extremely well preserved, and the final collapse is just to smash the body, all to hide people's eyes. ”

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu's back suddenly felt cold, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Xia Qi at close range, and even a series of bold guesses suddenly popped up.

"Isn't it unexpected, at the meeting when Lele chose the awakening platform, Xia Qi may not be 'Xia Qi' anymore, or even earlier, and in the matter of the awakening platform being dug up by the spirit rat, after some clues were pieced together, the spearhead was finally pointed at her, which is interesting. Lan Songren said.

"It's a crime in a different capacity, is it a disguise technique? I remember that when there was an accident at the venue, there was another ...... you."

"It should also be the person's disguise, but this is by no means as simple as the disguise technique in our mouths, this method of disguise is more subtle, and it is hidden from everyone. On the surface, the chaos in the Spirit Devouring Field was actually to cover the person for stealing the spirit core, and in the end, this spirit core exploded the light curtain of Suyun Dam, which can be said to be one ring after another, according to Xiao Zhu's speculation, the cultivation of the person who pretended to be Qiao was at least mid-level, or even high-level. ”

That is to say, there is also a dark totem who is always hiding in the "shadows". Qin Xiaoyu muttered, at this moment, the whole thing in his mind was strung together completely, according to this logic, the soul devouring was just a substitute for the dead, of course, the possibility of being willing was not ruled out.

"I say this in the hope that you can understand that in this whole thing, you are too dazzling! I'm sure you've been noticed, so be careful in everything in the future, you have to have your own judgment in everything, and don't trust anyone around you, including me!" Lan Songren said seriously.

Qin Xiaoyu was silent for a long time, and then smiled again.

"Did you think of something beautiful again?" Lan Songren also returned to his previous casualness.

Qin Xiaoyu clasped his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "I just think that the earth is still interesting and vibrant." ”

Lan Songren also smiled when he heard this, "Self-confidence is a good thing. ”

Qin Xiaoyu put down his hand, "By the way, Uncle Lan, I got a treasure on this trip to Suyun City." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Lan Songren's mouth immediately twitched, okay, I just talked about it for most of the day, and I was completely playing the piano to the cow.

As if seeing what Lan Songren was thinking, Qin Xiaoyu smiled and said: "What you said, I remember, and I have a sense of proportion in my heart, but there is nothing to hide in this matter, and there is another thing that needs your help." ”

"Tell me about it. Lan Songren said speechlessly.

"Let's talk about the baby first, this trip to Suyun City, I got a jade piece, wearing it on my body can speed up my usual practice, and at the same time there is a chance to trigger the spiritual tide, I want to take Lele to retreat once, while recuperating from the injury, by the way, with the help of the spiritual tide to improve my cultivation, I have to trouble you to find a place, I am worried that it will cause too much movement." Qin Xiaoyu was concise and to the point, and at the same time took out the jade piece.

Lan Songren took the jade piece in surprise and looked back and forth, except that he felt that the carving was good, he didn't notice the difference at all.

"This thing has a spirit, it has recognized me as Lord, and it has only a function in my hands. Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile, this is also one of the reasons why he dared to say it. After some weighing, on the way back, he had already told Lan Lele about it, and as for the relationship between the jade piece and the canopy, he concealed it, and he said nine out of ten words, so that it was the most "real".

"I've read Su Xiu's incident report, isn't Su Yuncheng's spirit tide a trap? spirit corpses, ghost fetus, and spirit tides are just part of the trap, why did they suddenly pull this jade piece again?" Lan Songren questioned.

"The two are different, the spiritual tide of Suyun City erupted in Suyun North Mountain, and this treasure was found on the crested head of Suyun Dam, if I guessed correctly, the wonder of the 'phoenix rising dragon' also has something to do with this thing. Qin Xiaoyu is serious.

"So, you'll have to hand it in!" Lan Songren quipped.

Qin Xiaoyu snatched it, "This can't be done, the jade piece has a spirit, choose the master to live, I am its father now, this thing is in my hands, it can be useful, besides, I am so desperate to stop the flood tide, the total score is good." ”

Lan Songren also stopped joking with him, "The psionic tide is indeed a good thing, with this kind of good thing, you can still think about Lele, I have to thank you, rest assured, you are in retreat under the research institute, if there is any movement, I also have a way to explain." ”

Qin Xiaoyu nodded and continued: "There is one more thing that I need your help with, are you interested in the 'red tide' that appeared this time?"

Hearing the word "red tide", Lan Songren's face immediately became a little serious, and he asked rhetorically, "What did you find?"

As soon as Qin Xiaoyu raised his right hand, a piece of wood with a reddish cut surface appeared in his hand, it was the small piece that Qin Xiaoyu asked Wang Huilan for at the beginning, and Qin Xiaoyu told what happened, including his own conjectures.

"Blood poison?"

Lan Songren frowned slightly, "Hearing you say this, the people of the dark totem may really be secretly cultivating these gases, Su Xiu's report mentioned that the spirit corpse that was entangled with him at that time was also manipulated, and at the moment when the spirit corpse was destroyed, he felt that the source of control seemed to be from Beishan Furniture Factory, because he was worried about your situation, he didn't delve into it, maybe Wang Huilan's death was related to this." ”

It's a pity, now I only know that the source is the southern forest farm, and the grass has been struck to startle the snake, and if you want to find out the clues, it will only be more troublesome. Qin Xiaoyu said.

"Okay, I'll investigate this matter, you can retreat and recuperate in peace. Lan Songren said.

The two of them walked around the street and began to walk back, on the way back, Lan Songren talked a lot less, in fact, he didn't expect that this incident would lead to so many dark totem characters, the dead soul devourer, the mysterious person who is proficient in disguise, the corpse controller who manipulates the spirit corpse, and he has not yet told Qin Xiaoyu that the catastrophic tide in Su Yuncheng only stemmed from one person throwing a stone into the upstream river, and the person who threw the stone was a person, it was a dark totem, the second player.
