Chapter 6: The Red and Black Spiral
The time I met Master was at a youth magic association exchange meeting half a year ago, the venue was the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel opposite the Pudong Securities Building, when the children and young apprentices of the magical families in Chunshen City were seated, and the banquet hall was crowded with hundreds of curious and excited children, but when the party began, all the doors disappeared and turned into a hollow red and black spiral.
I still remember the feeling that made everyone fall into fear.
A downward staircase suddenly lit up in one corner, and when everyone rushed to the evacuation exit, only three people did not escape.
When there were only three of us left in the hall, a woman in a red robe approached.
From this day forward, you are my apprentices.
So far, no one has dared to mention that meeting. Because judging from the speed at which the barrier spawns, the generation of a dozen red and black spirals is something that happens in an instant, and at the same time, the woman was also a person who terrifies another city.
The author of the enchantment is called Liu Jin.
If you want to describe her, it can be said that she is a beauty whose temper is easy to fall into extremes.
Most of the time is relatively mild, but once she is indifferent, a look will make people tremble, and when she is passionate, the bone marrow of her whole body will be boiled by her.
Although making enchantments is one of her specialties, she also has a Muggle identity, and that is a freshman at Siyuan University.
But after officially entering the school, the three of us found out her true colors.
Accept commissions from the police, the Security Service, the Magical Society, and private individuals to handle tough cases around the city for exorbitant fees.
Of course, our three exhausted apprentices didn't get a penny.
Master should be said to be a very withdrawn guy, even in her professional classroom, she is usually only seen tutoring alone. But for some reason, all three of us adored her more.
Because after hearing her name, even her father said that he must invite her to his house, and the uncle and aunt in Qiantang City also called us to entertain her.
So the westernmost room on the second floor of the Western-style mansion was vacated for her, but because it was too far away from the school, she never came to live after a visit.
As for Master's residence, she did not live in the school, but in a dilapidated old temple on a hill in the southwestern corner of the city, far away from the school, with no electricity or internet.
The three apprentices went there once, and in one sentence it was a wasteland.
It turned out to be a century-old temple left on rural land, and there was no repair of the incense and no prosperity, and there were no monks, and the property rights have always been shared by the villagers.
Later, I found out why Master had taken a fancy to that piece of land: although it was surrounded by a very unharmonious countryside, the excavator dug down for five or six meters and found something dense, thick, and glowing like red tree roots, so Master used this thing called the spiritual vein to create an enchantment for her residence, and after entering the enchantment, the surrounding area was no longer a rural area, but an endless beach, and the whistling of the sea breeze and the lapping of the waves were extremely realistic.
I don't know why Master just likes this feeling of loneliness, he always doesn't answer the phone, and if he doesn't have schoolwork, he always can't see anyone.
So most of the time, Master's affairs are handled by another person.
◇
In the early morning of the next day, after not finding Master in the professional classroom, Weiyang carried his schoolbag to a small office on the twentieth floor of the building opposite Siyuan University.
Now in this room of less than 15 square meters with only one table, the woman sitting behind the table with long braids and wearing a suit and trousers is Ye Ningran, the master's partner.
Well, let's get down to business.
Next to the door frame of the office, there is a bronze plaque of "Chunshen Zhenru Investment Management Co., Ltd.", and there are many business scopes, from selling baby diapers, making puffed food, holding exhibition activities, to interior decoration design, but people in the industry call us Zhenzhi Office.
The most unbelievable thing is that this Ye Ningran, who didn't do anything and just sent us a message to convey the task......
There is a salary!
What's even more annoying is that her daily work is ...... Speculate on stocks.
The money we earned was all used by her to invest, and the three of us didn't know whether to make money or lose money.
"I know all the problems." Staring at the slime on the table, "Although I have indeed never heard of this matter, I have seen such cases before, Xiao Han, I feel that your sister really has the ability to transform the enchantment." ”
"Is it just through the brain?"
"To be precise, it's the moment when the world in my head is precipitated through words." Ning Ran took a sip of tea, and then walked to the water dispenser next to the side and grunted to refill the hot water.
"If it's the right to transform the enchantment, what is the connection between the enchantment and my sister's novel?"
"Name, probably." He shook his teacup and stared at the slime abruptly.
The three words Asuka Park caused his sister's brain waves to have a certain sense of induction with the nerve center of the real owner of Asuka Garden, so that Soichiro quickly accepted his sister's transformation of the enchantment.
Because of this, the creatures in the garden are probably cute rather than fierce.
"But you can't let your sister scribble until confirmed, because there are indeed a lot of young magicians trapped inside."
"How many are there?" After feeding the slime with a spoon, Weiyang stood up and walked to the window.
"There are nine of them, and they increase every three days on average." Ning Ran said such casual words and glanced at the desktop calendar, March 4th.
Yesterday was the 3rd of March? So the next one will happen on March 6th?
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity for him to take advantage of. Past disappearances are not in the same area, and the connection is difficult to find, and the police won't care about this kind of thing, maybe it's an oversight of the Magic Association. ”
After speaking, Ning Ran and Weiyang looked at the slime together.
"Look at what I'm doing, my dad is just the vice president, okay?"
Ning Ran raised the corners of her mouth in mockery, and this look made her much gentler.
"It's strange from beginning to end," Weiyang turned out of the window and opened the window slightly, "Why hasn't the Magic Association made such a serious disappearance case public?" Even if it was information on one or two of the victims, nothing like it ever appeared......"
It didn't seem to be suspicious of Soichiro's style, and the reckless young magicians who rushed in the first place to try to solve the problem were missing or killed in battle. Therefore, it can be explained clearly on the countertop from beginning to end.
What's more, only one or two are arrested at a time, and the frequency of this disappearance is much lower than that of children being abducted and trafficked, telecom fraud, etc., and the police will not pay attention to such a small case.
…… In other words, it's not that things are not easy to detect, but that they were not intended to be made public from the beginning?
Soichiro said he was going to sell it to the magicians...... But most of those caught were children with humble backgrounds and no family background.
I always feel that things are getting more and more difficult, and even my senior sister told me to leave it alone.
No, that's not the point......
"Don't doubt Weiyang, even if you get to the bottom of it, you can't save your senior sister, let's take advantage of the opportunity in two days to make good use of my sister's ability."
"Yes." Weiyang sighed.
As for my sister's ability, it can be judged that she probably has the right to transform the bird park, so ......
Perhaps thinking about the key to entering the bird park next time, the slime suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"Let's go home and help her write the next chapter together."
