Section 228: Head of Research

"Are you so hungry?" Seeing that there were two large plates of food in front of Zhang Su, and he kept chewing, Nan Guo Tianxiang went to a little food and sat opposite Zhang Su, glanced at Zhang Su with disdain, and asked.

"It's not that I'm hungry, it's that as soon as I eat delicious food, I can't stop this uncompetitive mouth, but I know how big my stomach is, so these two plates are my limit." Zhang Su replied as he picked up a piece of raisin sandwich cake with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.

"It feels like you're more like you've been in the mountains for a few days without eating than the ghost slayer next to you, in fact, there's no need to be in such a hurry, you can come and eat at any time during this time at the headquarters, you should be able to taste it." Seeing that Zhang Su couldn't stop eating, Nan Guo Tianxiang persuaded him.

"Well, I know, why do you take such a point, Sister Tianxiang? Can you eat enough? Hearing Nan Guo Tianxiang's persuasion, Zhang Su agreed, and then looked in front of Nan Guo Tianxiang, and saw that there were only a few blueberry cookies and a cup of sencha, and asked puzzledly.

"I've been not hungry since I ate in the morning, you can just eat yours, don't worry about me, I'll drink some tea to pass the time." Seeing that Zhang Su was stuffed with food in his mouth and talking in a cooing voice, Nan Guo Tianxiang waved his hand, and then took out his mobile phone and didn't know what he was looking at.

"Sister Tianxiang, do you have to familiarize yourself with the headquarters to participate in the ability appraisal?" Zhang Su is not a person who likes to talk during meals, but sitting opposite Nan Guo Tianxiang, Zhang Su always feels that the atmosphere will be a little subtle if he doesn't say something, so he asked.

"Yes." Nan Guo Tianxiang glanced at Zhang Su and replied.

"Didn't you say there were three days left before the start date of the competency assessment? Why didn't I see others who toured and familiarized themselves with the headquarters as I did? After Nan Guo Tianxiang answered, Zhang asked puzzled.

"That's because most of the soul masters who want to conduct ability appraisals have already come to the headquarters to wait half a month ago, Qi Cheng has to deal with the follow-up matters of the Lei Lin Ghost Banquet, and it is a little late to inform you, and then I can only let you and my brother come here together today, so you are a little later than the others, in short, the others have already finished visiting the headquarters, and only you arrived today." Nan Guo Tianxiang put down his mobile phone and explained to Zhang Su seriously.

"Everyone else is here? So what did they do? Why don't I see appraisers from all over the world like me? Hearing Nan Guo Tianxiang's explanation, Zhang Su asked.

"I don't know this, after the pilot led them to visit the headquarters and the capital, they have the right to act independently, some may stay in the hotel to sleep, some may go somewhere to surf the Internet, some may continue to wander around the capital, it is possible to cultivate soul power, who knows, oh, I seem to know one, Tao Haolong from Guangcheng, should now be practicing soul power in the soul building room on the thirteenth floor, I met him when I went to pick you up today." After Zhang Su asked, Nan Guo Tianxiang shook his head and replied.

"Tao Haolong? Oh me

I think of it, the one who trained with me in the Heavenly Soul Castle in the early days said that he was training together, but he seemed to have left the Heavenly Soul Castle after the completion of the Yang God, saying that he wanted to cultivate outside by himself, but he didn't expect him to reach the high-level Soul King. Zhang Su was surprised.

"It turns out that Tao Haolong is in the same group as you, well, he is also a high-level soul king, although his soul power is still slightly vain, but his strength seems to be good." Seeing that Zhang Su knew Tao Haolong, Nan Guo Tianxiang said suddenly, and then said a few more words.

"Soul power may be able to be detected with soul power perception, how is this strength, how can Sister Tianxiang see it?" Hearing Nan Guo Tianxiang's words with a little praise, Zhang asked puzzled.

"It's not that I can see it, when he first came ten days ago, he had a conflict with another soul master who came to the headquarters for ability appraisal, and after he started, he actually subdued that person in three moves, and with the same strength, he can defeat the enemy with only three moves, which means that Tao Haolong's comprehensive strength is at the half-step soul ancestor level, to be honest, it is almost the same as you." After Zhang Su asked, Nan Guo Tianxiang recalled.

"Only three moves below the same level? Is Tao Haolong too strong or is the soul master who clashed with him too weak? Zhang Su recalled Tao Haolong during the war of the newcomers in Heavenly Soul Castle, although Tao Haolong at that time was already outstanding in strength and should not be underestimated, but it was not outrageously strong, and now in the headquarters, he can defeat people of the same level with only three moves, this kind of strength is really extraordinary, and according to Nan Guo Tianxiang, Tao Haolong has just stepped into the high-level soul king not long ago, that is to say, Tao Haolong has a powerful means outside of soul power, and he can't help but doubt.

"The person who clashed with him is also a new high-level soul king, but that person has been in Yucheng for three years, and he has countless soul hunting experience, and when he was an intermediate soul king, he single-handedly killed countless high-level ghosts, so his strength is also extraordinary." Nan Guo Tianxiang took a sip of tea and replied.

"When you are an intermediate soul king, you can kill a high-level imp? It's really not an ordinary person, generally speaking, it is very difficult to hunt ghosts of the same level, and it is even more difficult to hunt so many ghosts and ghosts that are higher than their own level, such a person will actually go through three moves in the hands of Tao Haolong, what kind of powerful soul skills does Tao Haolong have on top of soul power! Hearing Nan Guo Tianxiang's reply, Zhang Su thought about his state when he didn't use the Source Heaven Soul Technique and the Soul Core Soul Technique to deal with the first-order soul ghosts higher than himself, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's because the Horcruxes he uses are strange." After Zhang Su sighed, suddenly a voice sounded from behind Zhang Su, and then the person who made the voice walked to Zhang Su's side, put a plate of prepared food in his hand on the table used by Zhang Su, pulled out the seat next to Zhang Su, and sat down.

"Who are you?" Zhang Su turned his face sideways along with the voice, and saw an old man wearing a beige suit, a blue striped tie, gray hair, and a slight belly.

Just as Zhang Su was questioning, Nan Guo Tianxiang suddenly stood up in awe, stood up from the seat opposite, and bowed lightly to the old man

, and then said softly: "Hello Minister Deng!" ”

"Okay Tianxiang, sit down, it's just your big courtesy, you see that a few people from the ghost killing team just now still ate and drank after seeing me, that's right, is this the world, there is no need for so much red tape in the soul master world." After Nan Guo Tianxiang opened his mouth to ask, the old man raised his hand and motioned for Nan Guo Tianxiang to sit down, and said with a knowing smile. ζ‰‹ζœΊη«― δΈ€η§’θ¨˜δ½γ€Žβ†’m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.

"Minister Deng?" Seeing that Nan Guo Tianxiang suddenly became serious, Zhang called in confusion.

"You only saw Heimai before, and now the old man next to you is also a minister, Deng Qingji, the head of the R&D Department, an old man in his nineties, in charge of the company's horcrux manufacturing, half-step soul immortal level." Seeing Zhang Su's face full of doubts, Nan Guo Tianxiang solemnly introduced Zhang Su.

"Half-step Soul Immortal?" Zhang Su's eyes widened, and he looked at the seemingly inconspicuous old man beside him in surprise, the whole person seemed to freeze, and he gasped and exclaimed, the reason for his amazement was not how high the level of the half-step soul immortal was, but that he was so close to this old man, and he didn't notice a trace of soul power from the old man, which was an extremely terrifying thing for him, even the colored scale arm guards couldn't do this, if this kind of person was an enemy, and he suddenly made a move in the crowd, it was impossible to watch out for.

"What's wrong? Is it stressful to be around me? I've already suppressed all my soul power with this soul sealing belt, so it won't be invalid, right? Seeing that Zhang Su froze next to him, Deng Qingji lifted his tie and checked it around, puzzled. TV updates the fastest //

"No, no, I think your soul power is so strong that it is difficult to detect from your appearance, so I am a little surprised." After Deng Qingji asked in confusion, Zhang Su quickly calmed down and replied truthfully.

"That's good, if something goes wrong with the newly developed Tie Horcrux, then I'll be too sad, young man, look at your face is quite unfamiliar, are you new?" After Zhang Su answered, Deng Qingji seemed to be much more relieved, and then asked.

"His name is Zhang Su, he is a soul master from the Qicheng branch, and this time he is here to participate in the ability appraisal of the temporary organization of the headquarters." After Deng Qingji asked, Nan Guo Tianxiang introduced.

"...... Zhang? Qi Cheng ......? Oh, I remember, it's the kid who made them think my picture camera was broken after the technical department analyzed the results of the ghost banquet, haha, I didn't expect to see it here, Zhang Su, is the Qicheng branch okay? Is Zhong Tianli okay? After Nanguo Tianxiang's introduction, Deng Qingji pondered for a moment, and his old face suddenly became more curious and excited, and asked Zhang Wei excitedly.

Zhang Su didn't know why the old man next to him knew him, and he didn't know why he suddenly became excited, so he simply replied: "Uh......, okay, it's all right." ”

"Haha, that's good, I thought that my junior brother was so desperate to study Horcruxes, and his body had already withered and died......, hey, the watch in your hand is a Horcrux, judging from the production method, Zhong Tianli made it for you, right?" After Zhang Su answered, Deng Qingji smiled, and then took a closer look at Zhang Su, and his beast-like eyes locked at once

At Zhang Su's wrist, the big hand grabbed Zhang Su's arm like an eagle, lifted Zhang Su's arm to his eyes, and stared at the watch on Zhang Su's wrist to observe carefully.

"It hurts...... Hurt ......, Deng ...... Old-timer, your hand is so strong, it hurts me so much to grab......" Deng Qingji's whole movement was very fast, Zhang Su didn't react yet, his wrist was clamped by Deng Qingji's big hand and couldn't move, the more Zhang Su wanted to struggle to retract, the more he felt Deng Qingji's grip, until the severe pain invaded the bones, Zhang Su couldn't help but shout, as if begging for mercy.

"Pain? Ah ......, I'm sorry Xiao Zhang, I'm a little excited, I haven't seen my junior brother make something for a long time, I want to see what changes he has made in making Horcruxes over the years, and he accidentally fell into a trance. Hearing Zhang Su's cry of pain, Deng Qingji seemed to withdraw his mind from observation, and after a pause, he quickly let go of Zhang Su's arm, apologized with a guilty face, and then explained embarrassedly.

"Haha...... It's okay, it's okay, Senior Deng, you don't look like a person in your nineties, you haven't opened your body and soul skills, you can actually have such a big hand strength with your strength alone, this hand strength is to pinch that thick-skinned walnut, and you can easily crush it, right? Although Deng Qingji offended himself a little, but everyone apologized, and it was not easy to pursue anything, not to mention the difference in strength between himself and Deng Qingji, even if he was investigated, he would not be able to pursue anything, after thinking about it, Zhang Su could only choose to forgive with a wry smile, and even had to make a sycophant, in case he made such a powerful person angry.

"Haha, pediatrics, it's not that I have a lot of strength, look at this jade jue I carry in my hand, it's this thing that attracts my soul power and makes my palm partially body soul skill, so I have that kind of strength." Zhang Su's sycophant was just right, Deng Qingji smiled, and showed the big wrench that was tapping on the thumb of his left hand to show Zhang Su, and then explained.

"Wrench?" Zhang Su didn't understand the Horcruxes, and didn't see anything from the wrench, so he asked puzzledly.

"Well, the appearance is a wrench, but it is actually a soul-controlling horcrux, which can draw soul power out of the body without leaving the soul, and the strength of the soul power will hardly decrease sharply due to the influence of the body space, so just now I can open the body soul technique without the soul being out of the body, of course, not only the body soul technique, but also other soul skills." Seeing that Zhang Su's face was full of incomprehension and curiosity, Deng Qingji smiled kindly, and explained to Zhang Su while using his wrench to draw out the soul power in his body, and finally the soul power drawn from the wrench actually turned into a soul sword in his hand, and the bright soul light flickered dimly in the bright hall.

"When the soul is not out of the body, you can actually use the soul technique, and the soul power on it has not been sharply reduced because of the barrier of the body space, so strong, if the soul hides in the body, and then uses this means to deal with the soul ghost without the body, it is simply a unilateral slaughter." After seeing Deng Qingji condense the powerful soul sword, Zhang Su looked at the powerful soul light emitted from the soul sword and exclaimed.

"It's not bad, but unfortunately, I didn't make this thing, but someone who made it and passed it down to this day, and I tried it

I have analyzed the principle, but unfortunately the level is limited, and it is difficult to find out the secret of the production, otherwise, I will give each of you soul masters one to one, so that when you go out to hunt souls, you can have an extra layer of protection. After Zhang Su showed a surprised look, Deng Qingji was not very happy, but said with a sad face, as if he had done something wrong, and then took the wrench from his finger, pinched it in his hand, and looked back and forth at the bright light coming in from the window.

"I'm not a soul master, so I don't know much about Horcruxes, but I know that the old man Deng has a loving heart, so I think that as long as the old man works hard, he will figure it out sooner or later......" Zhang Su couldn't look at the old man with a sad face full of love, and while the old man's grief had not yet become a river, Zhang Su hurriedly said encouragement, hoping that the old man would not be so sad.

"It is estimated that it is impossible, and the company has actually stopped Minister Deng's plan." Zhang Su's encouragement and comfort didn't seem to have any effect, the old man's eyes were still a little distracted, and after the old man lost his mind, Nan Guo Tianxiang explained on the side.

"Stop? Why? Why did such a good plan come to an end? With this kind of Horcrux, the soul is not exposed to the risk of being out of the body, isn't it a good thing? Hearing Nan Guo Tianxiang's explanation, Zhang asked puzzled.

"It's really a good thing in terms of security, but from the perspective of the growth of soul masters, this kind of Horcrux will make some soul masters opportunistic, lazy and lazy, so the company does not agree to let this kind of Horcrux be popularized, this is a resolution passed by the company's board of directors after voting, and even Deng Lao, as a minister, can't object." After Zhang Su asked, seeing that Deng Qingji did not speak, Nan Guo Tianxiang explained on his behalf.

"Indeed, once the soul master has this kind of horcrux, when hunting the soul, he wants to keep the soul in his body at all times, and only release some soul power to meet the enemy, in this way, it will be difficult for the soul to be improved in actual combat, and it may lower the overall strength of the company's soul master employees, right?" Zhang Su heard Nan Guo Tianxiang's explanation and pondered thoughtfully.

"Well, so I didn't continue to apply, and agreed to the resolution of the board of directors, but as soon as I heard the news of the death in the company, I felt a little sad for those children, most of them were recruited from the world, and finally died tragically, they are not only soul masters, but also the family members and children of some people in this world, they still have a lot of ties in this life, and they died in vain, which may affect one or several families, which makes me very sad, and I feel that I can't escape responsibility." After Zhang Su spoke, Deng Qingji fell into sadness again.

"Are you stumbling...... blame those souls who feed on human souls, they are the culprits!" Deng Qingji's words reminded Zhang Su of Lu Sen who died in front of his eyes, remembered that Lu Sen had a sick wife left behind when he died, and felt more nostalgia for the word tie in his heart, and after feeling nostalgic for a while, he remembered the hateful dump ghost, and his eyes were full of anger.

"It seems that you also have your own ties, and you are not alone if you have ties, Zhang Su, no matter whether you will stay at the headquarters after the ability appraisal, no matter where you will go in the future

Everywhere, I want to give you a first wish: don't die. Seeing that Zhang Su's eyes were full of anger, as if he remembered something, Deng Qingji stared at Zhang Su for a moment, and then put the napkin on the table on his chest while happily wishing Zhang Su.

"Is there a generation gap? Haha, old-timer, what you say doesn't sound like a blessing in our generation, but it sounds like an instruction, but I accept it. After Deng Qingji's wishes, Zhang Su smiled and responded to Deng Qingji.

"Whether it's a blessing or an instruction, it's okay to be sincere, it's quite close to chatting with you, a little soul master, you can go to my thirty-one level research department to sit when you have time, there are some problems with the ten-grid storage watch horcrux in your hand, and you can improve it a little if the materials remain the same, and I can help you expand to thirteen grids when the time comes, don't forget to bring it." After Zhang Su responded, Deng Qingji finally put away his sad and melancholy face, smiled happily, pointed to the storage watch in Zhang Su's hand, and spoke.

"Well, thank you." Zhang Su didn't want to disturb Deng Qingji's meal anymore, and after thanking him softly, he also returned to eating.
