Qin Xiaoyu and his entourage were the first to leave, Tang Lan took Wu Zhenxin to see him off, and after Zhuge Wen and Shang Daoyun exchanged a few polite words, they also left the laboratory with people.

After everyone left, Shang Daoyun's face became serious, and he took out his mobile phone.

"Hey, Director Du Mingtao? I'm the Protector of the Protector Association. ”

"I need all the surveillance footage after the accident at the Awakening Station today. ”

"What? Oh no! Can you please tell me more about what happened next?"

"Yes, everything on the scene!"

......

Outside the gates of the Protectorate.

Seeing Lan Songren's car go away, Wu Zhenxin couldn't help but ask Tang Lan beside him, "Senior sister, if they agree to join, will the teacher really accept them as apprentices?"

Tang Lan smiled when she heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want the teacher to accept them?"

Wu Zhenxin lowered his head and thought about it, frowned, and said, "I don't know, but I don't like that boy." ”

"Because he's better than you?"

Wu Zhenxin didn't speak.

"Then do you know where you are worse than him?" Tang Lan asked.

Hearing this question, Wu Zhenxin only felt very irritable, he wanted to say that he was not worse than him, but he couldn't.

"You're actually no worse than him!" Tang Lan said with a smile.

Wu Zhenxin was stunned for a moment, and looked at his senior sister in confusion.

"Your talent is not worse than his, but you lack some mental and practical training. You've already experienced the process of testing just now, haven't you noticed that after Qin Xiaoyu's child woke up, there was no trace of strangeness in his expression?" Tang Lan said.

Hearing this, Wu Zhenxin came back to his senses suddenly, yes, in the face of that kind of suffocating death, he... It doesn't seem to be anything at all.

"This is not a talent, to be able to face life and death so calmly, it shows that he has become accustomed to this state, what a terrible thing it is, he is only twelve years old, how much he has experienced in it, you can imagine. Lan Lan looked at Wu Zhenxin and said flatly.

Tang Lan's words made Wu Zhenxin suddenly realize something, the picture about Qin Xiaoyu in his mind, at this moment, seemed to be strung together by a thread.

From the very beginning when he single-handedly challenged all the Awakened, to the later battle against the Soul Eater, to the fact that he let himself fight for three minutes, and the test just now, he never seemed to see panic on his face, he was always so calm, he... Is it that confident?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhenxin only felt a sudden chill in his back, what kind of person is this.

"We have investigated his background, and there is not much information, but it is mentioned that he was a survivor of the Origin Rebellion, and perhaps it was through the most turbulent period that made him what he is today. Tang Lan said softly.

Wu Zhenxin took a deep breath, as if he was about to exhale the depression in his heart, "I understand, I will accept the graduation arrangement between the teacher and you, as for him...... I will definitely surpass!"

Looking at the fighting spirit burning in Wu Zhenxin's eyes, Tang Lan smiled faintly, "Okay, when your brother Su Xiu comes back, you will follow him and go on a mission together, you should also go through the experience." ”

Hearing the word "Su Xiu", Wu Zhenxin's face immediately turned white, that is a well-known person in the Protector Association, who does not want to die, and with him, he has almost lost half of his life.

However, Wu Zhenxin did not refuse, and Qin Xiaoyu's harmless face in his mind no longer stimulated his heart all the time.

Tang Lan didn't pay much attention to the change in Wu Zhenxin's expression, and after mentioning Su Xiu, she looked at the western sky.

At this moment, the sun has set in the west, and the evening breeze brings up her dark blue hair, which brushes past her ears and brushes on her delicate cheeks, as if it has melted away the perseverance of the day and brought a touch of tenderness.

"This time, he should also go to Suyun City......

......

Retracting his gaze from the western sky, Qin Xiaoyu leaned on the seat, feeling the slight shaking of the body, very relaxed. He didn't expect this day to be so fulfilling, everyone would be tired, and Lan Lele next to him was already asleep holding Lan Songren's arm.

"Xiao Yu, I just saw what you mean, it seems that you don't want to join the Protector Association?" Lan Songren, who was sitting in the same row, asked casually.

"Uncle Lan, do you want me to join?" Qin Xiaoyu was surprised.

"I don't have that idea, but judging by your attitude, it seems that you have some prejudices against the Protectorate. Lan Songren said.

"It's not a preconception, I just don't like the environment and the 'trustworthy' sentence in the old man's mouth. ”

"Where does this start?" Lan Songren was a little surprised.

Qin Xiaoyu smiled indifferently, "Today on the awakening platform, uncle, you also saw that in the face of the Spirit Devourer, the Protector Association plus more than 20 people from the Totem Research Institute, but if there is a trace of the guardian spirit in their mouths, that middle-level caretaker will not die! From this point alone, you can see how much the words and deeds of this so-called Protector will be and how bad the internal environment is. ”

"I have the same opinion as Xiao Yu, their group is very selfish, I don't want to go there, I want to join the Spirit Hunter Guild with Xiao Yu. At this time, Lan Lele also woke up and spoke.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Lan Songren looked at Lan Lele, whose face had not yet recovered, and said with concern.

"I'm a lot better, I vaguely heard you talking about the Protectorate, and I came to the spirit. Lan Lele said.

Hearing this, Lan Songren shook his head with a smile, "You only see the surface, in fact, the Protector doesn't want to be what you think, do you remember the area we first passed by when we just went?"

"You mean the area that looks like a school?" Qin Xiaoyu said.

"That's right, it's their in-house academy, and the students in it are all probationary members. Every year, the Guardian Association recruits students from the society and accepts talents, but only those who can pass the graduation examination can become real members, and they will learn a lot of things during this period, and their minds will be gradually edified. ”

"And, if you want to join the Protectorate, you have to go through a procedure called the Tree of Oaths. This kind of tree is very special, sitting under it to take an oath, if it is sincere, the tree will bloom a flower, if there are two hearts, the tree will drop a leaf. Therefore, the loyalty of the Protector Association is quite high, like today's Zhenxin and their children, they are obviously still probationary members, and there is still some way to go in the future. ”

"I see, but is the oath tree accurate? What if there is a fish that slips through the net?" Lan Lele said curiously.

Lan Songren smiled, "People's hearts, how can you say 100 percent, but the Oath Tree is a kind of spirit plant spirit animal, and the detection of spiritual fluctuations is very unique, and the accuracy rate is still quite high, and the Protector will be tested more than once, just like a physical examination, there will be every year to maintain internal purity." ”

"In this case, it can indeed play an excellent screen, Uncle Lan, do you know so well, and you are also a member of the Protector Association? I remember that you gave me a business card with the Chinese character printed on it. Qin Xiaoyu took this opportunity and asked the doubts in his heart.

Lan Songren smiled casually: "It's not a secret, because at the beginning of the establishment of the Protectorate Association, I made some efforts, and then they gave me a false name, honorary professor, which sounds good, but it is useless." As for the business card you mentioned, when I met you, I vaguely felt that something was wrong with you, so I tried to test you in the name of the Protector Association, but you didn't know you. ”

"Well, I didn't care at all. Qin Xiaoyu also laughed

"Oh, you guys are far away, Xiao Yu, tell me about your totem, obviously it is a spirit pupil, why can you control the flames, shouldn't your spirit skill be, the attack of spirit and soul?" Lan Lele asked curiously

In fact, this is the question of everyone in the car, and even Zhu Wannan, who was driving, also cast his eyes from the rearview mirror.

Qin Xiaoyu laughed dryly, "Can I say I don't know?"

"Your own totem, how can you not know, unless you still can't trust me?" Lan Lele's little face was a little unhappy.

"I trust you naturally, it's just... It's a strange thing, my first spiritual skill is indeed a psychic attack, called Psychic Curse, but I can manipulate the flames again, and this manipulation can still be done without releasing the totem. ”

As he spoke, Qin Xiaoyu snapped his fingers, and when he didn't see a totem behind him, a wisp of red and yellow flame rose up.

A carload of people, after listening to him, saw it with their own eyes, and they were all stunned.

"You used this fire to defeat the Spirit Eater in the first place?" Lan Lele asked in surprise as he stared at the flames.

"No, I can make this fire more powerful, but that would be extremely consuming of psionic energy, and with my current psionic foundation, I can condense two fireballs at most, but the power is quite strong. ”

Listening to Qin Xiaoyu's words, Lan Lele was very unhappy, "Why are all the rules broken when you come here, Xiaoyu, are you human!"

"Maybe I'm more handsome!" Qin Xiaoyu smiled and put away the flames.

"Shameless!"

"Xiaoyu, your situation has never happened before, you have to be careful, don't be careless, you must tell me immediately if you feel wrong. Lan Songren said seriously.

"I understand. Qin Xiaoyu nodded.

"People like you, it's easy to have no friends, it's hard to hit people in every way, and no one wants to play with you in the future!" Lan Lele said unhappily.

"Anyway, I usually prepare gifts for my friends. Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Gift?!What gift?" Lan Lele's big black jewel-like eyes blinked, glanced at Qin Xiaoyu's whole body, and wondered.

Qin Xiaoyu smiled, "You forgot! Half a bottle of wood spirit liquid every six months, that's what I asked you for!"

"What !!"
