Early the next morning, Liu Ye was called to the library by Yan Heling.

Yan Heling pointed with his hand, and a book floated out of the bookshelf on the third floor, and slowly flew in front of Liu Ye, and he reached out to hold it.

"Array of soul?" Liu Ye read out the title on the cover, "This is?"

"The transcript of the original text written by Smilen," Yan Heling stared at his face, observing his reaction, "You already know who he is, you can put this book away and read it as soon as possible." ”

"But, why do you want to give me ......" Liu Ye hesitated.

"You're going to face a lot of unexpected dangers, so try to be stronger. Yan Heling looked at Liu Ye and sighed, and waved his hand, "Go back, I'm about to leave." ”

Liu Ye wanted to say something, but found that he had been transferred out of the door. I pinched the book in my hand hard, and the rough texture of ancient books came from my fingertips.

"Unknown danger. Liu Ye leaned against the wall and bowed his head in contemplation, and the sound of other people fighting came from the corridor upstairs.

Across the wall, Shilan leans against the wall of her room, holding a family photograph of a young couple holding an infant baby.

The two of them just leaned against each other across the wall, not knowing each other.

"It's a real headache - I still like the peaceful life I used to have. Liu Ye yawned, stopped leaning against the wall, and walked towards his room.

"Mom and Dad......" Shilan took the photo into her arms and slowly slid to the ground against the wall, "Will I need to kill someone this time?"

After cleaning up, Liu Ye opened the door on the first floor, and at a glance saw Smith standing in the middle of the garden dressed like an agent, dressed in a black robe and sunglasses and leather shoes, and his hair was smeared with I don't know how much hairspray, shining in the sun.

"......" The corners of Liu Ye's mouth kept twitching.

He greeted Smith warmly, only to receive a cold nod in response. Liu Ye was not angry, and sat on the suitcase with his legs bent and waited for Shilan to come out. Within a few minutes, Shilan came out, dressed in pure white, a camisole shirt, a beret, and a single tail of braids, which formed a stark contrast to Smith who was not smiling on the side.

"Ha-" Liu Ye exhaled and condensed into hoarfrost in the air, "Shilan, it's the end of December, isn't it really cold for you to dress like this?"

"Hey—just talk too much, hurry up, we're in a hurry. Shilan pulled her hat lightly and snorted.

"Okay, let's go!" Liu Ye smiled at Shi Lan and snapped his fingers, the blue light swept around the three of them like a tide but quickly receded, and the three of them remained motionless in place.

"Forehead ......" Facing Shi Lan and Smith's gaze, Liu Ye touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, you're so embarrassed Master's face!" Shi Lan tapped him on the head with her wand, "Don't take it out and be embarrassed if you're not skilled in wandless teleportation." ”

Smith shook his head, took out his wand, and chanted an obscure incantation, and the blue light rose again, and the three of them disappeared in place.

"By the way, where do you live?" On the plane, Liu Ye looked down at the book and asked Shilan casually.

"Huh?" Shilan, who was eating a strawberry ice cream, turned her head, her big watery eyes blinking.

"I said, where do you live?" Liu Ye said again, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Shilan didn't speak, just looked at him innocently.

Liu Ye blinked, and the two looked at each other like this.

"Hee-hee, of course we're staying in your apartment. ”

"Hey, hey, won't you, you two want to live with me?" Liu Ye sat up straight, and the picture of Shilan shopping for vegetables and cooking and Smith washing and mopping the floor came to his mind.

"Seems pretty good?" Liu Ye thought about it, and couldn't help but show a stupid face.

"Liu Ye. Shi Lan said in a very gentle tone, her big black eyes full of smiles.

"Huh?" Liu Ye was stared at by her, and a chill ran down his spine.

"In your head," Shi Lan said the most terrifying words in the gentlest tone, "what kind of filthy stuff is there, do you want me to help you open it and check it, and clean it." ”

"Stop, stop, stop. Liu Ye pressed Shilan's head and interrupted her, "Seriously, where do you live?"

Shilan snorted and scooped up a scoop of ice cream, "We live in a safe house, and you have to stay there too." ”

"Safe house, are you agents?" Liu Ye picked up the book again, "I have my own apartment, so I won't toss your resources." ”

"No, you're too dangerous to be alone. Shi Lan put the last scoop of ice cream in her mouth, and she put a black bracelet and a Bluetooth headset into Liu Ye's hands, "Wear it well, it's too conspicuous in Boyun City with magic, and we'll try to use this to communicate in the future." ”

Liu Ye looked at the black bracelet in his hand, and there was a small green light flashing on the inside.

He suddenly remembered what Ouyang Gu had said that day: "Follow up and investigate, sneak in, and, assassination." ”

Blinking vigorously, Liu Ye spread out his hands, and a little white light gradually converged in his palm.

"Even if you have the protection of the sensory blocking magic," Shi Lan pressed his hand, "You're a little too arrogant." ”

"I'm sorry. Liu Ye smiled apologetically, the unreality that came to his heart just now made him lose his mind for a while, he lived peacefully in the dawn of the century for three months, he was only exposed to the daily life like a dormitory, and the stories that Ouyang Gu said seemed to be just distant stories, and it seemed that they would never really happen.

"Hmph. Shi Lan leaned back with her hands on her chest, as if she didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore.

Liu Ye raised his eyebrows, and he didn't plan to say anything, he turned his head to look out the window, and the plane was already gradually descending.

Below is the Pacific Ocean, a vast sea of turquoise blue. With a total area of more than 180 million square kilometers, the world's largest, deepest, and most marginal seas and islands combined, human beings are really insignificant compared to the earth.

However, the rapid development of science has given humans almost divine powers, and looking at the Boyun City that is gradually becoming clearer ahead, the city of science and technology that rose from the ground in the ocean thirty years ago is the best proof of this, you can see anything in this city for thousands of miles of desolation. The infinite energy of controlled nuclear fusion has made desalination a cheap project that only takes time, agriculture disappeared fifty years ago, breakthroughs in biotechnology have allowed artificial proteins to enter factory assembly lines, food no longer has to be grown in the ground, and crystallization freezing technology has made it possible to transcend time. In addition, if it were not for the ethical issues, Liu Ye believed that many people would definitely think of using gene shearing technology to turn themselves into superhumans.

In the center of the city, a white tower of more than a kilometer stands in the distance, which is the power center of Boyun City, which is fully maintained by artificial intelligence and robots, and where the five consuls of the United Nations are located, responsible for managing the affairs of the city. Its construction refers to the "Bible, Old Testament, Genesis", chapter 11 recorded that human beings united to build the tower of Babel in the hope of leading to heaven, which is the crystallization of the highest level of modern human building technology, and various unconventional designs are vividly embodied in it. In the Bible, in order to stop mankind's plan, God made human beings speak different languages, so that human beings could not communicate with each other, and the plan failed, and human beings scattered from then on. And thousands of years later, when people build such a tower again, do they want to be a metaphor for God again?

Liu Ye shook his head, trying to get rid of these boundless thoughts, and after studying magic for three months, his thoughts gradually became strange.

"No, this, no. Liu Ye stood in front of the safe house, a little incoherent.

"What's wrong?" Shilan didn't know where to find a key.

"No, it's. Liu Ye pointed to the opposite building, "That's my apartment over there, is there any difference between living here and living there?"

"Haven't you heard the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Shilan opened the door and walked in, "Living here, you can clearly see who is approaching your apartment, and approaching your apartment means that they are interested in you, you know?"

Shi Lan's words sounded very reasonable, Liu Ye stood at the door with a strange face, but living opposite his apartment, he always felt that something was wrong.

While he was in a daze, Smith walked into the room and closed the door.

"Hmm, huh?" was stunned for a moment before Liu Ye reacted and slapped the door again and again, "Open the door!"

"Smack-" Smith opened the door and threw a box to Liu Ye, "Go back to your apartment and clean up, be quick and don't be discovered." ”

"Why are you stunned, go quickly. Shi Lan leaned out of the back room, and in a few moments, she had already fastened the apron with a cartoon bear pattern on her chest.

The corners of Liu Ye's eyes jumped, he sighed helplessly, and returned to his apartment with the suitcase.

"Hello Mr. Liu Ye, because you have not arrived at your post for a long time and have exceeded the time limit specified in the contract, the company has terminated the labor contract signed with you in accordance with the law. Liu Ye squinted his eyes and read the notice posted on the door word by word, "You have breached the contract first, and the company has no obligation to compensate you for the corresponding liquidated damages, but out of humanitarian considerations, the Finance Department has transferred part of the living allowance to your salary card, please pay attention to check." If you have any objections, you are welcome to call the company's legal advice office. ”

"Sure enough......" Liu Ye sighed again, he had never missed his premonition of bad things.

"Another: Since you have not been at home for a long time, at the request of your colleague Song Liuyun, your sundries in the company have been handed over to her for safekeeping, please go to collect them in time. October 11, 2164. ”

"Song Liuyun?" Liu Ye thought for a while, and a woman with flaxen hair and a single ponytail ****** came to mind, it was indeed a colleague from her own research room, but the relationship between the two could only be said to be average, why would she take the initiative to ask the company to hand over the sundries to her for safekeeping?
