There are ghosts in this place! An Xiaoyu suddenly thought.

This is alive, who would have thought of it? From the very beginning, both the Sea Clan and An Xiaoyu felt that the energy that appeared in this place was simply the remnants left by a certain creature, and there was no sign of life at all.

And according to An Xiaoyu's observation on the river just now, he didn't notice the breath of any living beings, but it existed, and when An Xiaoyu appeared here, he wanted to attack An Xiaoyu for a moment.

What the hell is this?

An Xiaoyu looked left and right, but couldn't see a result, and looked at it with the eyes of the soul, but found that this thing didn't even have a soul.

Puppet? This was An Xiaoyu's first reaction.

A thing without a divine soul, which once emitted energy fluctuations and could move, immediately reminded her of some alien means of observing humans, maybe something similar to a drone, but what kind of thing is this?

An Xiaoyu didn't get close, when she got close, that thing would react instantly, and she would be hostile to An Xiaoyu, if she hadn't reacted quickly just now, I'm afraid she would have been tricked by now. Although it is not necessarily scary, but who knows if there are any disgusting methods, or it is not good to startle the snake.

But after observing it from a distance, An Xiaoyu found that there seemed to be a layer of fog around this thing, and she couldn't see what it was at all. The whole fog is a pale gray, slightly reflective, and at first glance looks exactly like the surrounding water.

But the thing wrapped in the fog is really a bit uncertain, and An Xiaoyu can also be sure that it is that thing that is hostile to her, not the fog wrapped outside.

It's very well protected, and it's well prepared! An Xiaoyu thought so, and still notified Guan Jue. He is a spy, and he asked the aliens to send all the spies to the imperial capital, so he can't be responsible? After making the call, An Xiaoyu found a place to sit and wait, and bought some snacks from the convenience store next to her.

After about half an hour, Guan Jue came to the river with the technical team, and saw An Xiaoyu in the heavy rain watching the wind and rain raging, eating snacks, and couldn't help laughing: "Toss us over in the middle of the night, you are quite idle." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "You're really right, if I wasn't quite idle, I wouldn't have found this thing and tossed you over, wouldn't he be fragrant if I live a good life by myself?" ”

"No kidding, what's going on?"

Hearing Guan Jue's question, the technical team wearing white raincoats behind him also looked at An Xiaoyu, looking at that look really professional, coming over in the wind and rain, just to see more things that he had never seen before, and he had a crazy research attitude that he had devoted his life to solving the unsolved mysteries of alien races.

An Xiaoyu didn't continue to talk and play, and told her what she had discovered before, and the technical team also showed a confused expression after listening to it. An Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Go and take a look, since this thing has been here for more than a few days, it is estimated that it will not react to ordinary people." You go down and check, I'll sweep you up, and evacuate as soon as there is a situation. ”

Hearing this, the technical team looked at Guan Jue, Guan Jue waved his hand and said, "Go, get ready, pay attention to safety." ”

"You're not going down and have a look?" An Xiaoyu opened a package of vacuum meat skewers and handed it to the side. Guan Jue picked it up with his hand, took out a bunch and ate it, and at the same time hid in An Xiaoyu's energy shield, watching the technical team quickly inflate the rubber boat, and then find a fixed spot on the shore.

Now the whole imperial capital is pouring rain, and here it is from the downstream, the current is quite turbulent, if you don't fix the rubber boat on the shore with ropes, the next moment it will have to be washed away. One of them secured a rope on the shore, and the other went around the bridge not far away to the other side of the river and secured another rope by means of a projectile.

In this way, the rubber boat was fixed by the direction and force of the two ropes, one team got on the rubber boat with instruments, and the other two teams slowly put the rubber boat on the position given by An Xiaoyu, and put a water on the water surface that could use the geomagnetic stability position to float above the foreign object.

An Xiaoyu looked interesting: "It's very professional, the technical team of your Ministry of Supervision?" ”

Guan Jue nodded and said: "It's just that the equipment is a little old, and departments like them in the Ministry of Supervision usually don't work on a daily basis, and most of the things they use are confiscated or seized, after all, the Ministry of Supervision's expenses are not there." ”

"Also, since there is a geomagnetic fixed water drift, of course, there are also geomagnetically fixed rubber boats, if the funds are enough, why use such a stupid method?"

Guan Jue didn't continue to speak, because the exploration over there had already begun. Several instruments were lowered from the surface of the water and slowly fell in the direction of the smoke, swaying slightly in the direction of the current, but mostly stable.

Just as An Xiaoyu guessed, that thing should have no reaction to ordinary people and dead objects, so it didn't move when the researcher appeared on the surface, and it didn't react when the instrument fell to the surface, allowing those few things to be put into the water.

The technical team quickly fixed it, like a solidified structure, and after the pieces fell into the water together, soon the fixed rope that was still soft began to harden and was no longer affected by the current, and after fixing, they began to open the light brain for observation.

"Huh! Can you read it? An Xiaoyu pushed Guan Jue with her elbow.

Guan Jue shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"Oh." An Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How are you and Bai Zhu doing?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Guan Jue turned his head and looked at An Xiaoyu. An Xiaoyu sat in the rain, eating potato chips while watching the action on the water, as if she was not from this world, so that Guan Jue had no way to see what she was thinking.

In fact, Guan Jue has long known that An Xiaoyu will surpass himself after all, at least in a certain realm, he will always surpass himself, which is why he chose to believe in An Xiaoyu at the Shahai base in the first place. But to be honest, this feeling now still makes Guan Jue a little uncomfortable.

An Xiaoyu heard that Guan Jue stopped talking, and when she turned around, she saw Guan Jue squinting at herself with a pair of snake eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "What is it?" I'm just asking, it's not interesting to stay here anyway, I can't tell you about the Three Thousand Academy, right? ”

"You can say, you say!" Guan Jue said with a smile.

"If you want to spy on the Three Thousand Academy, send someone to spy on it yourself, and it won't be my business to be caught by Principal Zuoqiu at that time." An Xiaoyu also smiled.

Guan Jue suddenly said: "Me and Bai Zhu, in fact, it's nothing. ”

"You two are workaholics...... An Xiaoyu sighed, "Did you say that you only had time to fall in love when you were in school?" When you finish your studies, everyone has their own things to do, and you don't have any mood to get tired of being together? ”

Guan Jue looked away and said, "It's just that I can't help myself, and I am free to go to school." ”

An Xiaoyu heard the helplessness in Guan Jue's tone, and suddenly thought of what happened to the three of them in Lu Er, at that time, they were still best friends, and they were still the best talents, and they were still free people who could at least think about what they wanted to do.

But once he graduated, Chi Mo joined the peripheral experiment of the origin for his dream of piloting a mecha, and Bai Amaranth was chosen to join the base's maintenance team in order to pull Chi Mo out. Guan Jue, on the other hand, struggles all day long before friendship and imperial work.

It must be false to say that it is not painful, and to do this kind of thing, where will it not be painful?

Even if he is Guan Jue, even if he is a poisonous snake, no one is a natural spy, he is born to calculate, and he is born to betray his heart.

And it's not just the three of them, many people in this world, either for their dreams, or for life, or for other things, will lose a lot of freedom to a greater or lesser extent. And when your freedom is lost to the limit, it reaches a critical point.

The choices and encounters at this critical point will usually determine where you will go in the future and what you will achieve in the future.

Of course, these still follow the rules of fate, and you never know what your other choice will do, because a choice is a choice, and once you choose one of them, there is no possibility of the other being repeated.

Because time doesn't allow it, because the world doesn't allow it, because neither do the people around you and yourself. But when it comes to school, at least some of the time it is allowed.

You didn't pass the final exam, and you may have a chance to retake it next time; If you blow it with the object, you still have the opportunity to choose to chase it back or find a new one, and you can even choose to chase it back and try again, and then choose whether to continue or blow it out completely.

These, what is called freedom?

"So what exactly is freedom?" An Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

Guan Jue shook his head: "Yes, what is freedom?" ”

"As long as there is still the Heavenly Dao in this world watching and manipulating everything in the world, then there will be no real freedom in this world." At this time, a voice sounded behind them.

An Xiaoyu and Guan Jue turned their heads and saw the charm coming from a distance.

"Hey! Handsome guy! The charm threw a wink at Guan Jue, then walked to An Xiaoyu's side, and also hid in An Xiaoyu's energy shield, then wiped two handfuls of hair, and said: "This wind and rain, you are so leisurely here to watch the scenery and talk about life!" ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "Aren't you too?" But you're right, although I don't know what fate is, but as long as the Heavenly Dao still controls this world, then there is no real freedom in this world, not even Jade Shou, why do we have it? ”

Guan Jue glanced at the succulent nightmare scrutinically, from top to bottom: "What are you doing here?" ”

The Nightmare rolled her eyes: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not spying on you!" I felt that there was a familiar feeling here, so I came to take a look, otherwise the third Anjia is waiting for me to do such a mess, how can I have the time to come? ”

"You mean, familiar feelings? Something to do with your significant other's bloodline? An Xiaoyu said suddenly.

The succubus was not sure: "I don't know, it's familiar anyway." I've had this feeling before, but the last time it appeared was too abrupt, I didn't react, and this time it was only for a moment, but I immediately positioned it, and I saw you here. ”

She didn't ask too much about the situation here, so as not to make it difficult for An Xiaoyu, but told everything she knew.

Guan Jue asked, "Where did you feel it last time?" ”

"It's not this side anyway, it's the opposite direction from this side. You connect this place with the house of the third family, and then extend it to the other side, which is in that direction, and it feels very strange, a little like my blood relative, but a little bit like it. ”

An Xiaoyu looked at the other side of the city, and Guan Jue called up the map as soon as possible, and then connected this side with the third An family's house into a line, and then extended this line infinitely, drawing a long one on the map.

Looking at the map, Guan Jue drew a key point on the several waterways through which this line runs, and An Xiaoyu said, "I'll take a look?" ”

"Huh! Other! Guan Jue immediately stretched out his hand to stop An Xiaoyu: "I still have to take an umbrella when you leave." ”

An Xiaoyu and the charm are both speechless, is that how things matter? In the end, An Xiaoyu called the Sea Clan and asked them to go over and take a look, and it didn't take long to get the news: "Indeed, something was also found in this river." ”

After a heavy circle on a point on the map, and then connected with the location of the center of the imperial capital, apparently forming an isosceles triangle, the two of them glanced at each other, and the charm said, "You mean, there are several such places outside the core area of the imperial capital?" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded and said: "The reason why these two were found should be that they are both in the water, which is relatively easy to find, and the other places are probably not all in the water." It's a good idea to measure the altitude again, and if it's the same altitude, it might even be hidden in an underground waterway. ”

Guan Jue nodded, suddenly became serious, and said to the phantom, "I'm afraid I want you to help investigate." ”

"It's still a serious cooperative investigation, and it has been investigated before. ”

At this time, the researcher also came to them with the preliminary research results: "According to our preliminary observations, this foreign body in the water should be wrapped in a layer of mimicry, and there are biological components in this mimicry, but what is the component, we still have to take samples and return to the laboratory for study." ”

"What about what's inside?" Guan Jue asked.

"The things inside, because there are mimicry reasons and once our instrument probe enters the mimicry, it will cause the other party's rejection reaction, so there is no way to detect it at all. My advice is to get rid of the mimicry first, and then choose a suitable way to explore the internal structure. ”

The researcher's plan is still very reasonable, but An Xiaoyu doesn't think so: "My opinion is that it is a two-pronged approach, I will find out this thing and find the guys behind it, and then you will go to find foreign objects in other places, and then study the matter of peaceful cracking." ”

"No! That would destroy it! The researcher immediately rejected An Xiaoyu's idea.

An Xiaoyu waved his hand: "Here's the thing, there is likely to be another one in another place in the imperial capital, and there may even be more on the periphery, they must have some role, whether it is a single role or a joint effect, in short, we can't let them remain like this now." Because we don't know what they are for, once they are activated, a single one is easy to deal with, and several are linked together it is not easy to deal with. ”

The researcher also frowned when he heard this, he is not the kind of person who specializes in scientific research, he is a scientific researcher of the Ministry of Supervision, first of all, he must take the security of the empire as a benchmark: "The structure in the mimicry obviously has a reaction mechanism, what if there is a self-destruct method?" ”

An Xiaoyu sneered: "I don't have this possibility, even if it is self-destructive, I can stop it." ”

The succubus asked, "What if the grass startles the snake?" ”

An Xiaoyu spread out her hands: "Now I don't even know if it's a snake or not, what's the difference between beating grass and not beating grass?" ”

The scarlet was speechless, Guan Jue made a decision at this time, and said to the researcher: "You go to another place to see if there is such a thing, confirm their relevance, if it is indeed the same thing, and then send a message back, we will take this side down." ”

"Yes."

The researcher immediately left here with some people and rushed to the other side of the river, and when it was nine o'clock in the evening, a message came from that side that it had been determined that the same foreign object was on the other side, and An Xiaoyu immediately left a ball of energy for Guan Jue to block the rain, and he came to the top of the river.

Raised his hand and grabbed towards the mist, the thing in the mist really wanted to resist, but before he could move, he was completely suppressed by An Xiaoyu, all the energy, spirits, and laws were all crushed to death, and he couldn't move at all.

Holding the cloud of smoke in her hand, An Xiaoyu felt like a ball of cotton, but there was something inside that was trying to squirm. Falling beside Guan Jue and them, An Xiaoyu directly tore open the mimicry outside, revealing the thing.

"Does it feel familiar?" An Xiaoyu asked.

The schanter shook his head, but instead looked at the mimicry that had been torn apart: "This thing makes me feel very kind, it should be the means used by my main bloodline, but this one in it...... This ......"

Looking at the thing that was confined in the air by An Xiaoyu's energy, the succubus felt a little disgusted, and he didn't know what to use to describe it.

This thing is like a mass of white flesh, with pointed ends and thick in the middle, and the whole thing is bloated, and the white flowers are soft, a big fleshy worm.

An Xiaoyu wondered: "Why are they all green insects and white insects recently?" ”

Guan Jue's face suddenly turned cold, and he said:

"This is the Beginningless Silkworm Clan!"
