One talk is the whole day.

Except for when Chen Qianqian rushed over to pick up Granny Gong for nearly two meals, Ling Ye took the opportunity to enjoy the small stove of the highest senior master in the canteen, he and his mother-in-law have been in a state of concentration where each other is talking sporadically and asking questions from time to time.

As the sun set, and the moon was getting higher, Ling Ye put down the folded tires under the chair and pushed the old man back to her yard.

"It's hard work, I really hope you can get through the next test, and wait for the second semester to be a little freer, in that case, maybe you can take care of my mother-in-law instead of me." ”

"I'll do my best. ”

"That thing, in addition to the unique concept of the connotation, I have roughly changed it, you should learn it by heart first, as long as you don't actually fight with the Zhao family, they can't see what is real and false. Of course, if you really find out and you can't handle it, then run away and find a way to live. Best, come to me. ”

"Good. ”

At the gate of the hospital, he completed the handover with Senior Sister Chen, talked to each of them, and left at midnight.

Walk out of the palace, on the road.

He stopped, frowning at the dark alley on the southern outskirts of Falcon City.

Prologue 1: Old things in a small town

Somewhere in the northern corner of the Xia Kingdom, small and unheard of, the inhabitants have lived a dull and isolated life for hundreds of years.

But the town is part of this great country after all, so there are still few unexpected travelers.

Naturally, there are also people who are nostalgic for the calm and beautiful scenery of the small town, and they finally decide to settle here.

It's just that the mother and son who came to such a corner of the northern region of the empire at New Year's time and quickly moved in are even rarer.

"Xiao Ye'er, come and eat. ”

"I'm almost ten years old, can't I get rid of the word 'small'!"

"Giggles, my night is going to grow up...... Eh, wash your hands before you eat. ”

"Ye'er, do you want to go to school?"

"I don't want to! ”

On the northern outskirts of the town, in a relatively dilapidated two-story house, it is also quiet and warm.

But how long can such sudden happiness last?

......

"Midnight, it's time to eat!"

A rough soprano voice came from outside the door, and although they had been listening to it for more than two years, the people inside the door still felt an inexplicable sense of irritability.

"It's coming, Aunt Zhang, why are you tired, I'm going to pass it myself. ”

Ling Ye quickly opened the door and shouted to the man with a chuckle, putting on a gentle and cute appearance.

"Hey, no one called you at the beginning, but you haven't been out of the room for a few days, I'm really afraid of ......"

Hearing Aunt Zhang's hearty words, Ling Ye suddenly paused, and Ling Ye did not let himself show abnormality.

After he gently closed the door, he smiled refreshingly, but urged Aunt Zhang, saying, "Auntie, I can."

I'm really hungry, let's go. Oh yes, I have some strength now and can help you with some work. ”

"Hey, what are you talking about, you're so young, wait a minute. ”

Although it was a refusal of words, the sensitive Ling Ye still noticed Aunt Zhang's slightly moving eyes.

He followed Aunt Zhang to another house not far away, put on a serious appearance, and said with a smile:

"No, no, I can help Brother Zhang first. When I grow up, I can do odd jobs on my own, after all, it's not okay to be favored by you all the time!"

"Alas, that kid Zhang Ning knows all day long that he is fooling around...... Don't follow his example. ”

Approaching the door of the neighbor's house, Aunt Zhang in front also eased down, and saw her turn her head and nag to herself in the middle of the night.

......

"Ling Ye, how is it? When I become an explorer, my mother and the others will be stunned, so you can go with me!"

In front of Ling Ye, a young man three years older than him was wearing his new clothes, jumping around excitedly and shouting loudly.

"It's all so big, and you still want to make this mess!"

Ling Ye was smiling and about to answer, when he saw a person appear behind Zhang Ning, who was jumping, and the person slapped him hard.

After that, her eyes were red, and she said in a rough voice, "Don't do this again when you go to the big city, you have to study hard with my husband." ”

"Yes, after all, it was the gentleman of the Imperial Capital Academy who chose you, you should learn more skills when you go there, and you will be filial to your aunt in the future." ”

Ling Ye chuckled, but his eyes were calm, and he refused the invitation of the Zhang family, "I won't go with you, there are too many people in big cities, and there are more bad people, be careful not to be sold." ”

"Ling Ye, don't scare this little bastard anymore!" Seeing that Zhang Ning was a little afraid and retreating, Ling Ye, who was the culprit, was glared at by Aunt Zhang, and saw that she hurriedly comforted her son,

"Don't listen to his nonsense, within our Great Xia Territory, how can any bad embryo dare to make trouble. Besides, it's the imperial capital, don't you always want to tinker with some new things?

......

"Well, I'm leaving. Mom, when I arrive in the imperial capital at midnight, I will call you to tell you about the new things. ”

After a while of nagging, Ling Ye saw Zhang Ningzuo stepping into the car heroically, and shouted back to him,

"You have to go to school, what's the point of doing odd jobs with your mother all the time! Don't be a special person, I'm an explorer, you're still like this!"

Looking at the car traveling far away, Ling Ye didn't say anything, but there was a faint melancholy and confusion in his eyes. But he quickly calmed down again, and softly comforted the crying Aunt Zhang beside him.

"Alas, midnight, you have to study hard. Well, let's go to the city tomorrow and sign up. ”

In the middle of the night, I saw that Aunt Zhang gradually stopped crying, but persuaded him.

......

"Hey, what are you doing so fast! What about you, stinky little ghost, there is no Zhang Ning's bastard to protect you this time!"

Ling Ye purchased some daily necessities from the city center, and was walking home with a large bag full of hard work. In order to take a shortcut, he walked on the alley where he used to go, but at this time he was surrounded by three thugs before and after.

Ling Ye was a little flustered at first, but he still managed to calm down, and his voice trembled: "What are you going to do?"

"What the fuck are you fooling around with that bastard for a while!"

He saw one of the yellow-haired thugs come out, and before he could get closer, he said fiercely, "Money, hand over all the money to me!"

"Wait, I spent a lot of money buying things. But there should still be some left, I'll look for it first. ”

Ling Ye said slowly, put the bag down, and after turning the empty bag out very quickly, he fumbled for the full bag again, and looked like he was looking down.

"Hurry the, don't force Grandpa to do it myself! ”

I only heard the yellow-haired gangster laugh arrogantly and proudly.

Ling Ye also muttered in his heart, almost.

"Bang!"

Hearing only a dull sound, the half-squatting Ling Ye quickly and accurately kicked the weak place under the yellow hair.

"Ahhh

Half a second later, Huang Mao screamed in pain and bent down at the same time.

Ling Ye was not ready to let him go, but he took out a thick rolling pin from the bag and struck Huang Mao's head hard.

Huang Mao decisively passed out, but saw the other two gangsters scolding one after the other.

Ling Ye quickly pulled out the rice bag with his left hand, cut a big hole, and threw it at the head of one of them.

Taking advantage of the gangster's panic to cover up and wave his arm wildly, Ling Ye hurriedly rushed up and struck the mallet with a blow. With the sound of "bang", another person passed out.

At this time, Ling Ye noticed a rapid wind behind his head. He immediately bent his head and rolled diagonally forward.

"Smack!"

Ling Ye looked back, waving his hand to protect himself, but he only saw the figure of the thug leaving quickly at the end. Looking at the sound again, it was a red brick that had fallen to the ground and was torn apart.

Ling Ye was silent, and then went back to take a look at the injuries of the two gangsters, and found that both of them had slight redness and swelling in their brains, but they didn't look serious.

After all, although he was a few years older and had consciously exercised for a while, he still didn't have much strength, and he didn't pay attention to their deaths.

So, Ling Ye ignored the two who fell to the ground, packed up the bag on the ground, and turned to leave.

......

The night is getting late, and I am walking on my way home from school in the middle of the night, which is already in high school.

"Yo, what a coincidence, our Miss Xueba. What's the matter, come and play with our brothers!"

Alleys in the distance

The voice that came out of the child, Ling Ye felt a little familiar. He has never liked to meddle in things, so he picked up a red brick from the side of the road with a hand in his hand, and finally decided to go and see it.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw that a girl in a school uniform was surrounded by three thugs - the point was not the girl, but the three bastards.

"Yo, it's really the three of you, I said you don't have any new plans. Isn't it boring to always do this kind of trick of three measurements?"

Ling Ye shook his head helplessly and walked in.

"Who he ......"

Before he could get close to a few people, Ling Ye heard the angry shout of the yellow hair, and then saw him suddenly pause and said to himself, "Ling Ye! No, no, Brother Ling, what kind of wind has blown you here." Hey, you're up to school too?!"

"Yes, we have a school in this small town, come and study hard. ”

Ling Ye said lazily and slowly walked towards the gangsters.

"This ...... It turns out that you and this Xin classmate know each other, so we won't bother you, bye!"

Ling Ye, who wanted to fight, was found by Huang Mao on the red brick in his hand, and saw that the other party's legs were trembling, and he turned around and ran.

Ling Ye looked at the figures of the three people who were leaving quickly, threw the bricks in his hand, pouted rather boringly, and followed their footsteps.

After all, it's a lot closer.

This girl looks soft and weak, and she is still stunned at such a critical juncture, no wonder she is bullied and bullied. After glancing at the other party, Ling Ye thought so.

"Hey, hey!"

The girl saw that Ling Ye went straight past her, and she, who had always been gentle, suddenly became a little annoyed, and couldn't help shouting, "What is your name, what grade are you in?"

"You'd better stop walking in this kind of alley in the future, some gangsters specialize in stopping people and robbing people,"

Ling Ye still walked quickly, and didn't turn his head back, but lazily added, "No thanks." ”

The girl was stunned again, and found that Ling Ye was getting farther and farther away, and soon disappeared without a trace. She frowned, and eventually retreated to the road.

......

Prologue II: The Night of Fate

The year 1016 of the Great Xia calendar.

In the early morning of late June, the weather was a bit overcast. Although there are no clouds and it is the height of summer, the white sun in the sky still has a sense of listlessness and sleepiness.

Ling Ye was also a little distracted, and his eyes wandered into the school gate. It wasn't because of the weather, he didn't care about these trivial things.

When he entered the school, he hurriedly shook his head vigorously, driving out the beautiful phantom that almost collided with him out of his mind. He scolded in a low voice, thinking about these messes at such a young age, although the pretty and sassy posture is indeed quite in line with his own aesthetics.

At this time, he didn't know that some things were not coincidental encounters, and they were not as charming and beautiful as they seemed on the surface.

......

Late at the end of June,

In this ordinary school, it is encountering an extraordinary, bizarre, even bloody and thrilling story.

Ling Ye finally slowed down, and after scratching his head, he was still restless.

He got lost, right after school, in this small campus. He wanted to go home, but he could only wander around like a headless fly, and he couldn't find the school gate.

The unbelieving midnight has almost finished visiting the whole school, and he is just about to leave the high school where his class is located in the front building. Although he came out of there, Ling Ye was still in the mood to give it a try and was ready to go and see it again.

"Eh, it's you!"

Just around the corner, a girl approached from the other side and cried out in eagerness and surprise.

"You are?"

Ling Ye asked hesitantly and softly, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He thought her figure was somewhat familiar, and he thought she might have clues about her escape from school.

"I, I'm Xinwen from the first class of the second grade. Today, after I finished cleaning, I read a book for a while. When I was about to go home, I couldn't find my way out of school, so I hid in the classroom until I noticed someone approaching. That's right,"

The girl shouted happily, and hurriedly trotted to the front of the night, "What's your name? You saved me two days ago, thank you!"

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Xinwen, my name is Ling Ye. Senior sister, have you encountered anything unusual, except that you can't find your way,"

Ling Ye asked calmly and gently, and looked at Xinwen a few times, her thin eyebrows moistened her eyes, and she looked gentle and moving, but she still didn't remember it in her heart.

"You don't have to take that incident to heart, I just happened to meet those three bastards. ”

"Thank you anyway, as for the anomalous things, I've been hiding in the classroom, and I haven't noticed anything unusual. ”

Senior Sister Xinwen looked a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were pink for a while.

Ling Ye looked slightly disappointed, but he still roughly comforted the senior sister. Then he took her to search the school building, but still found nothing, just watched the wall clock on the wall in the class gradually approaching the early morning......

Just when the two of them were disappointed and tired, this strange school will welcome new guests......

......

......

"Captain, are we really going to go in? This is a day when the ghost realm is opened very rarely in the history of the Empire! Besides, "

Several men dressed in black stood in front of the school, and one of the boys asked the man at the front of the crowd, "Isn't there already a probe that can get in?"

"Hmph, Fang Hao, you're really scared!"

A girl with a faint freckle on her face cried out in the previous boy's question,

"We are a team of six, but we are equipped with the most cutting-edge technological equipment of the Empire, plus our own strength. This ghost realm is several times stronger than the previous years, and it is not difficult. I think you're a coward!"

At this time, I heard that there would be an argument behind me, the front

Fang's man also turned around. is also tight-fitting black pants, but she has a sassy heroic posture, as well as a cold arrogance unconsciously revealed between her eyebrows.

Her two willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she scolded: "Yating, Fang Hao is your brother anyway, and now he is on a mission again, you better stop a little,"

As she spoke, she looked at Fang Hao, who was touching the back of her head and smirking, her face softened slightly, and explained,

"Although the witchers are nominally attached to the Empire, after all, they are originally just folk scattered people. We should not take all his words seriously, but we should do some insurance measures, and we can go in to make sure that things don't go wrong. ”

"Captain, you don't need to explain, we have always listened to you, you gave the order, and we did it,"

Fang Hao hurriedly waved his hand, puzzled how the captain who was so cold and iron-blooded on weekdays was much calmer today.

Then, I saw him reply weakly to Fang Ya, "I've been in it many times, and I'm not afraid of a little ghost realm!"

The female captain was still frowning, and with her stern eyes, she suppressed the verbal dispute between the two that was about to ignite again.

Then, one by one, she looked at the remaining three silent members of the group.

On his back was a middle-aged strong man with a huge swollen black package, and he was carrying a specially made giant gun in his hand, which was carefully wiping it; the ordinary man leaning against the shadow of the corner, seemingly squinting carelessly to rest, was actually on full alert to all possible dangers around him; the remaining one was the doctor in the squad, holding a small ambulance box, and he didn't look like he had any combat power.

She made one final confirmation to the strong man, and her tone was calm and respectful: "Uncle Zheng, the detector is okay, right?"

"The connection is stable, and Han Fei hasn't moved," Uncle Zheng replied, his hands moving. He seemed to remember something, and added, "By the way, this time the weakening of scientific and technological equipment may be very powerful, you should pay attention." ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, even if we don't have equipment, we are still very powerful. When the time comes, you block the front, and we will just output it. ”

Hearing Fang Yating, she immediately took over, and patted her small chest to reassure.

"It's only the first day, no matter how weakened you are, you won't directly scrap the equipment," the female captain shook her head, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said lightly, "But this time the enemy will be very strong, you must be prepared." ”
