Chapter 9: The Fall of the Iron Curtain (8)
"Hey, Red Lotus, what the hell are you going to take me to, it's eerie here, it seems to be a forbidden area, we shouldn't go in, if it's something embarrassing, we can go to your room."
At this time, they were in the northern no-go area of the nine-story building, and they had never been to Scavenger before, and there were multiple guards wearing sunglasses waiting for them, but Red Lotus swaggered through with him.
"You don't talk nonsense, I'm in a bad mood, be careful that I hit you." Red Lotus tugged at his clothes and quickened his pace.
Pick up the hollow and thought, "Alas...... It must be that the eldest aunt is coming, so I'd better be quiet. ”
When I arrived at a chic building, there was no guard at the entrance of the building, but there were five narrow glass doors, and Honglian motioned to pick up the empty and take out her ID card to swipe the card.
"Hey, how can I have this kind of permission, this is a forbidden area."
"If I ask you to brush it, you can brush it, I'll go in first." Honglian swiped the card, the door opened, and she went in like this, "You can come in quickly." ”
Shikong frowned and thought, confused, so he did so, and sure enough, he went in.
"Red Lotus, where are you going to take me? I find that I have a new understanding of you today. ”
"You don't pretend to me, you actually found out a long time ago, didn't you? Mikami Sakura told me all. ”
"I ...... Red Lotus, you are so well disguised, how could I possibly find that you are silently watching me. Shikong held Red Lotus's hand and picked it up, "Red Lotus, do you have a crush on me, after all, I'm so handsome and so powerful, and the two of us are childhood sweethearts, right?" ”
"Red Lotus Karma Fire!" Red Lotus said angrily.
Pick up the empty and quickly let go, "hot...... It's scalding me, Red Lotus, your whole body is hot, and no man dares to approach you. ”
"Hurry up and follow me, don't talk so much nonsense, when you get to the master, you will naturally understand." Red Lotus glared at him.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low voice: "Curtain master? ”
Shikong followed Honglian into the elevator, and the elevator stopped when it rose to the seventh floor, and the seventh floor was the top floor, and then it broke the sky.
"Follow me." Red Lotus glanced at Shikong.
Picking up the space and looking around, this was a new environment, he had never been here before, he was curious.
Walking on the corridor, a beautiful young woman came over to say hello, she was wearing a red fairy dress like the red lotus, her flowing hair was also slightly crimson, sniffing carefully, and the fragrance of jasmine came.
"Hey, baby girl, you brought the scavenger here, are you in such a hurry?" The young woman has a soft smile on her face, which gives a very refreshing feeling.
"Aunt Molly? You ......" Scaven stared at her for a long time, his brow furrowed.
"Mom, this is what the shogun asked, I'll take him to see the shogun now."
"Alright then, hurry up, Mom still has something to do."
Molly said goodbye to the two, and Scavenger didn't quite understand what the situation was.
Red Lotus stopped at a wooden door, knocked on it, and a girl opened it in a few moments.
"Senior Sister Su Xue?" Shikong still heard of this senior sister who was four years older than him, although there was a sad incident at that time, Shikong always remembered it.
"Oh? You know me. Su Xue stared at him for a long time.
Shikong lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "Senior sister, I know your past, I have rummaged through all the libraries of the barrier, I accidentally saw that incident a few years ago, and then I specifically learned about you, I'm sorry, I should pretend not to know." ”
"The past is gone, I have long let it go, you don't have to apologize." Su Xue suddenly pinched Shikong's face, "Moreover, the two of us are still very fateful, from today on, I will be your mentor, although it is the first time to be a teacher, but I will work hard." ”
Honglian saw Su Xue's intimate behavior towards Shikong, and her face was unhappy, "Senior Sister Su Xue, the curtain master actually asked you to take him, why don't you give it to me." ”
"Sister Red Lotus, you are only in the seventh act, and the mentor must be in the ninth act."
Red Lotus's face turned crimson, "Hmph, I'll be in the Nine Acts soon." ”
"Hey, what are you guys doing, and are you still taking me, the master, into account?" The owner of the room spoke, sitting behind his desk, behind him a bookshelf full of books and a window with a curtain.
The three of them hurriedly got ready, closed the door, and stood together in front of the master's desk.
The curtain master wears a black mask and a black robe, and he does not show his true face, and few people in the fortress should know his true identity.
"Scavenging, do you know why I asked you to come?" The voice of the master of the curtain was processed, and Shikong couldn't even tell if he was male or female.
"Because I'm awesome." Shikong said proudly, and Red Lotus motioned to him next to him not to talk nonsense, but to be serious.
"Do you know the Iron Curtain?"
"I can feel that there is such an organization at the barrier, and some garbage still needs to be dealt with."
"The Iron Curtain is not only about dealing with garbage, the people who join the Iron Curtain are a bunch of rational madmen, the barrier needs people like this, do you have the determination to join this organization?"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." The boy finally showed a serious expression, but there was a joy in it, the feeling of wanting to touch something ethereal and finally touching it.
He actually knew that Red Lotus was secretly observing him, but he didn't know when she started, and he speculated that Red Lotus had joined the organization behind the barrier, the organization he had been trying to pursue.
The Iron Curtain is unknowable, and no trace of the Iron Curtain can be found anywhere in the ramparts, unless you enter the forbidden area. Scavenging could only speculate that he felt that the Iron Curtain was everywhere, and the Iron Curtain was like an invisible net, shrouded over all the citizens of the fortress, and no one could escape the Iron Curtain.
"Before you can officially join us, though, you'll have to pass a test, and if you fail, you'll lose your memories and live your life as usual." The master of the curtain sat at his desk, revealing a majesty that was awe-inspiring, a great man who controlled everything behind the ramparts.
"Wow, it sounds so scary, could it be that the predecessor of the Memory Void is your Iron Curtain person?"
"Yes, Scavenging." Honglian reminded on the side.
"That old man is very bad, and if you stay with him for a long time, you will feel that you have lost your life, and your head will go blank."
Su Xue sneered, "As long as you have the determination to pass the test and officially become a person of the Iron Curtain." ”
"Is the test that C-class mission? It's too easy, isn't it? Scavenging tentatively.
"When the time comes, I will inform you, you just wait patiently, and then you and Su Xue will go to the Iron Curtain Library to remember the rules of the Iron Curtain, and when you remember it, you can go about your business." The main road.
"Curtain master, I know, I know in my heart, the Iron Curtain is a secret, and people outside the Iron Curtain will not know about it, but the city lord should know it, right?" Shikong scratched his head, "By the way, why can't such an excellent person as Zejin join the Iron Curtain, but Red Lotus can?" ”
"Zekin is not suitable, there are some things he can't do." Red Lotus replied.
"Did you do it? Red Lotus, when did you join the Iron Curtain? ”
"12 years old."
"It's still seven acts." Shikong sighed and added.
According to the dialogue between Su Xue and Red Lotus, it is easy to introduce the hierarchy system of the Iron Curtain.
"You apprentice still has the face to say that I've worked hard." Honglian got angry, "Okay, it's none of my business, I'll go first, master, goodbye Senior Sister Su Xue!" ”
Shikong stretched out his hand to grab her, but Honglian left directly, "Hey, remember to do the task, I'll go outside the wall when I'm done, contact on the small wall!" ”
Red Lotus snorted coldly and left, Shikong put down her slightly outstretched hand, it seems that Red Lotus cares a lot about this level, she really works hard.
Su Xue smiled secretly, "It's making the girl unhappy." ”
"It's okay, Honglian won't be angry after a while, she won't care."
Owner: "Scavenging, do you have any questions?" If not, just memorize the rules. ”
"Yes, one thing I've always wanted to know." Scavenging became serious, his eyes like torches.
"Black Forest incident, about your parents?" The curtain master sighed, "This matter is the top secret of the Iron Curtain, and you don't have the permission to know it yet, unless you go to the ninth act." ”
"Okay, I'll be there soon, and then give me the most difficult task." Scavenger said firmly.
Concerned about his parents' death, he searched the library at the barrier and asked everyone who might know, but to no avail. Ordinary libraries will not have them, and people in the know will not say that this is a taboo thing, it is a top secret, and only if their authority meets the standard, can they know the truth.
"Master, I still want to ask a question."
The master motioned to him.
"Are my parents the Iron Curtain?"
The curtain master was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "Yes, they used to be one of the strongest people in the Iron Curtain, known as the Ten Acts, and the ten strongest people in the Iron Curtain are the Ten Acts, of course, I don't count, I don't know." Also, they're my best friends too......"
After saying this, the curtain master seemed to have a faint sadness, a feeling that was difficult to let go.
"Okay, I understand, Senior Sister Su Xue, you can take me to learn the rules of the Iron Curtain."
Su Xue broke the heavy atmosphere, "In the Iron Curtain, you have to call the teacher." ”
"Well, Teacher Su Xue."
Su Xue smiled with satisfaction.
