The mountain behind the old Jinshan.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Guan Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang You landed more than ten meters behind Guan Qingtong, and when he saw her turn to look at him, he sped up and took a few steps forward.

The institute is just ahead.

But at this time, you can only see the high and low trees and the mountains in the distance. The dazzling sunlight fell directly on his body, Jiang You wiped the sweat on his face with his hand, and pulled the half-soaked T-shirt, "I knew that I would come with me in the morning, but I didn't get so hot in the morning." ”

"Didn't you guess?"

"I'm not a god," Jiang You took a few steps forward and stood in the shade of a tree, he pointed to his leg, "My knee is estimated to be getting worse, isn't the institute considering building a direct elevator at the foot of the mountain?" ”

Guan Qingtong looked at him.

Jiang You asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"If your body breaks, will you replace it or fix it?"

"Then it won't be me."

A gust of mountain wind blew away, blowing away some of the heat.

Guan Qingtong also walked under the shade of the tree, and she said: "Before my brother left, he compiled what he had learned all his life into a notebook and handed it to the research institute. ”

Jiang You raised his eyebrows.

"So some related research, they will come to ask my opinion, and I am more familiar with the research institute than others," Guan Qingtong looked at the location of the research institute, "Their research methods are based on facts, they like to eliminate uncertain factors and leave definite factors...... However, there are times when uncertainty is necessary, and sometimes there are times when probability doesn't make any sense. ”

"You seem to trust me." Jiang lobbied.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I said it, I saw you in the future I saw," the mountain breeze blew her hair and skirt, "Fortune telling is a technique, I am the best feng shui physiognomy in Huaxia now, I believe what I see," Guan Qingtong turned her head, she stared at Jiang You's eyes, "Teacher Xie's death, what do you know?" ”

"All I know is that it's not good news." Jiang lobbied.

"What do you mean?" Guan Qingtong asked.

"I just bought a fitness ring, and I've already sent it out, and I'm going to practice it at home starting tomorrow," Jiang You straightened up and walked forward, "Let's go, let's see how it's going over there." ”

Guan Qingtong looked at Jiang You's back, and after a while, she followed.

The halo continued to enlarge in front of Tang Butian's eyes.

Green.

Streaks of green bumps spread across the edges of the halo, and they continued to divide and multiply, spreading towards the center of the halo.

And the halo is devouring them.

Fear.

She wasn't afraid.

She'd seen something like it before. In the Bug House. In the golden river of light. The branches of the camphor tree knotted together and headed in the direction of the thunder, and under the golden thunder light, the branches that had been hit became charred black and fell in an instant, and more branches rushed forward, almost knocking down the entire sky.

Yard.

She's been here. At that time, the elite of the Mirror Lake Society here were all there, there were Sun Xiu, Hu Yuefeng, and Mingshen, and she saw how it collapsed and how it returned to silence.

It's just a fragment of the 'yard', the core is not there, and the law is broken.

When the laws that sustain it dissipate and move towards disorder, it disappears completely.

So it's in fear.

Fear of the apocalypse left on the back of her hand.

But—

Tang Butian felt her chest burn as well.

She was able to cut out meaning.

Her wrist was grabbed.

She felt her leaning against a thick body, and that gentle, somewhat lazy voice rang in her ears.

- See clearly.

She looked up at the center of the halo.

She saw the dead tree, she saw the roots of the dead tree, the roots had withered, the green liquid seeped from the withered roots, she saw many, many cracks, tiny, invisible, all over the depths of the soil, she saw far, far away......

She saw the sky.

The cold sky was staring at her.

There are no cracks in the sky.

She felt something in her heart.

- What do you see?

- It's scared.

- What about you?

- I'm not afraid.

The hand holding her wrist loosened.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her, and there was nothing behind her.

Looking back, she saw the door that separated her from the courtyard, and the crack in the door twisted, and from it grew countless dead branches, which wrapped around her and bound her.

Behind the crack, a gaze stared at her.

Her fingers trembled, and the black scar on the back of her hand flashed with lightning that burned her body, and she found it, found the target she was about to cut off.

The green bumps are annihilated in the electric light.

Her hands were white and smooth again.

She opened her fingers.

The falling wooden knife lit up for a moment, then rose upwards and flew back into her hand.

※

Guan Nuo saw Tang Butian's eyes open, and the wooden knife flew back into her hand.

Thunder rang out.

※

As soon as Jiang You and Guan Qingtong walked into the enchantment, they saw that the sky was dark, thunder and lightning flashed, and the rain fell cracklingly.

Guan Qingtong stopped, she looked up at the sky.

"Run!" After Jiang You shouted at her, he pulled out his feet and ran towards the small building of the research institute.

Guan Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and ran away.

Sun Yu and Chang Lizhang were already waiting in the hall on the first floor.

After seeing Jiang You and Guan Qingtong coming, Sun Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, aunt, they are on the seventh floor." ”

Jiang You waved his hand at him, and after taking a few breaths, he took out a bag of tissues from his satchel, and after pulling out two of them, he handed the tissues to Guan Qingtong.

He took off his glasses, wiped his face, and said as he wiped the lenses, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me take a break." ”

Guan Qingtong wiped his face and hands slightly, and then walked in the direction of the elevator.

Jiang You put on his glasses again and followed.

※

"Now disconnect it." Guan Nuo said.

He looked at the numbers that kept doubling upwards and repeated again: "Teacher Ji, please cut off the connection now." ”

Ji Xiaozhen hesitated.

Lim Shun An said: "The loss after cutting off ......"

"The responsibility is mine, I, I ......" he took a deep breath, "I am responsible for the contact with the institute anyway, and I want to come and visit, and the section chief didn't want to come ...... originally" He felt that what he said was a little messy, so he stopped, and he said: "Cut off the ...... anyway"

Guan Qingtong walked into the monitoring room quickly.

"Mom!"

"Qingtong, you're here." Ji Xiaozhen said.

Guan Qingtong saw Tang Butian raise the wooden knife, she turned her head and said to Lin Shun'an, "Which room is she in?" Take me there. ”

"But ......"

"Now, right now." Guan Qingtong said.

Lin Shunan glanced at Ji Xiaozhen, Ji Xiaozhen hesitated, and she said, "Now you listen to Qingtong's command." ”

Lin Shunan immediately stood up and ran in the direction of the laboratory with Guan Qingtong.

The rest followed.

※

The dead branches wrapped around Tang Butian's body broke inch by inch. After breaking free of the restraints, she stood on the ground, holding a wooden knife.

Her perception stretched over the wooden knife, which seemed to become a part of her body—she was born with the knowledge of how to harness it and use it.

She looked at the sky behind the crack.

Suddenly, she took two steps back, and the wooden knife flew out of her hand, through the gap in the door, and towards the sky.

She heard the sound of dead branches breaking, and she heard thunder.

Wooden knives flew into the sky.

The dead branches retreated from the room, and they chased the wooden knives, gathering towards the sky.

Large pieces of sweat rolled down Tang Butian's forehead, she gritted her teeth, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The wooden knives were divided into three, two of which flew to either side with dead branches, and the other continued to slash into the sky.

A wall away.

Jiang You looked at the hole in the wall and stretched out his finger to poke it.

Sun Yu explained to him: "This is a soft material that can absorb energy and isolate spiritual power. ”

"It's so advanced." Jiang You commented.

The dead branches that blocked the hole gradually disappeared.

Jiang You turned to look at Guan Qingtong: "Remove this material." ”

Guan Qingtong said to Lin Shun'an: "Remove the materials." ”

Lin Shunan remembered Ji Xiaozhen's words, and he said, "Okay. ”

He took out the walkie-talkie and said a few words, and the transparent soft material gradually peeled off the wall.

Jiang You said to Guan Nuo again: "You can make a seal, an enchantment or something, right?" ”

Guan Nuo said, "Yes, yes." ”

"After I go in for a while, you can make a quick one and seal it a little," Jiang You pushed down his glasses, "Now the air pressure is low, that liquid material is not breathable, it's too stuffy." ”

"Okay, okay."

Jiang You sighed, "I think it's a little difficult for my body to get in." ”

"What then?" Guan Nuo asked.

Gradually, the hole was revealed.

Jiang You stretched out his hand to go in first, and he said: "Then you can only go up, I said Sun Yu, the next time you go to other places for a meeting and visit, you have to remember to bring Zhaocai over, so that it can also receive an education." ”

"I remember." Sun Yu said.

"I'm going to recruit talent today, just throw it away and it's over, why do you need me to drill the dog hole."

Guan Nuo felt a flower in front of him, and then he heard Jiang You's voice coming from inside, "Xiao Nuo, hurry up and seal it." ”

"Oh, good." Guan Nuo immediately stepped forward, pushed his hands forward, and then began to arrange the enchantment.

Blood fell to the ground through the cracks in the fingernails.

Tang Butian's eyes were bloody.

The wooden knife dodged the attack of the dead branches, and slashed at the line that looked at the sky.

She's going to cut it off.

Suddenly, her wrist was grappled.

She smelled sweat.

- See clearly.

Her eyes widened.
