Overnight, a rumor suddenly appeared inexplicably in the northern gathering place.

I've heard that someone has seen Chi Han, the owner of the Eternal Night Theater, who has been clearly designated as a wanted criminal by the Supreme Council, recently appeared in the northern gathering place, and he also fought in the city, destroying many public facilities.

Although there have been no casualties so far, the news of this kind has caused panic among the residents of the northern gathering place, and they are afraid to go out at night.

However, what is unexpected is that the Star Energy Academy has maintained a silent attitude towards this and has not come forward.

The scattered rumors, coupled with the ambiguous response measures of the Star Energy Academy, undoubtedly made the situation in the entire northern gathering place more and more tense.

"Headmaster! It can't go on like this. ”

In the Star Energy Academy, Teacher Hao looked at the Star Energy Principal in front of him with an anxious face and said, "If we don't come forward again, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control." ”

Principal Xingneng shook his head indifferently and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, it's not the time yet." ”

Teacher Hao gritted his teeth and said: "But seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, we are still needed on the other side of the ice field, and now the city is in chaos like this, it is really difficult to reassure!"

Principal Xingneng said with an unchanged expression when he heard this, and said resolutely: "Needless to say, I have my own plans for this. ”

"But ......"

Teacher Hao wanted to argue again, but Principal Xingneng suddenly interrupted: "Teacher Hao, have you ever fished?" ”

"Fishing?"

Teacher Hao looked stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Is there a place to fish in our northern gathering place?" ”

"Huh!"

Principal Xingneng looked at Teacher Hao, who was confused, and couldn't help but chuckle, then stood up and looked at the street outside the window, and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter, so you don't have to worry." ”

Teacher Hao looked along the line of sight of Principal Xingneng, as if he understood something, and his face changed suddenly.

Principal Xingneng turned his back to Teacher Hao, waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired, you go and get busy first." ”

Teacher Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, then I'll go first." ”

With that, he turned around and left the principal's office.

The door of the office slowly closed, and Principal Xingneng couldn't help but reach out and rub his forehead, and said helplessly: "I thought I could pay off that kid's favor, but I didn't expect that I would owe more and more now." ”

After that, he looked at the street with endless pedestrians in the distance, and muttered to himself: "Detonate all the undercurrents at once, and then force the Inquisition House and the Star Energy Academy to join forces with righteousness to suppress the situation with thunder?" ”

It was getting dark, the streets were quiet, and Principal Starstar had been standing in front of the window all afternoon, his eyes twinkling and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Alas!"

Finally, a long sigh sounded in the empty and silent office, "What a deep calculation, and what a great courage!" ”

......

The Star Energy Academy is a city, so everything in the city can actually be counted as part of the Star Energy Academy, even the mercenary headquarters.

As for why the Star Energy Academy would set up another organization outside of the academy, the reasons for this will not be repeated here.

In order to complete the task assigned by Su Xiaoxiao, Chi Leng and Bai Qi found a hotel near the mercenary headquarters and stayed there.

The windows of both rooms face the gate of the mercenary headquarters, so you can clearly see the people coming in and out even without leaving the house.

However, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Bai Qi and the others did not stay in the house all day and did not go out.

They adopted a scheme of taking turns to keep watching, going out alone during the day, wandering around the mercenary headquarters, monitoring those corners that could not be seen; The other person stayed in the hotel and kept an eye on the movements inside and outside the gate, completely monitoring in all directions.

It was getting dark, and Chi Leng walked slowly into the hotel after wandering outside for a day.

As soon as he entered the door, the innkeeper smiled and asked Chi Leng, "How is it?" Did you get the right assignment today? ”

By the way, in order to facilitate the mission, Chi Leng also joined the Zero Mercenary Group.

She and Bai Qi lived in the hotel as mercenaries, and the excuse for them to take turns going out every day was to go to the mercenary headquarters to pick up tasks.

Chi Leng replied with a tired face: "Don't mention it, it's all trivial tasks, so I didn't take it." ”

The innkeeper didn't have the slightest expression of surprise when he heard this, but just smiled and said, "Then you have to come on." ”

He has been running a hotel here for many years, and he has seen this kind of scene a lot - the young mercenary is impetuous, the high-level tasks cannot be done, and the low-level tasks are not pleasing to the eye, so he can only run to the mercenary union every day but cannot receive the task.

For Chi Leng, who is now in this situation, he has no intention of exhorting or suggesting anything other than encouragement.

Young people! You always have to suffer a little loss to get rid of the problem of impetuousness, right?

"Is your dinner going to be eaten in the hall, or is it going to be delivered to your room?" The innkeeper asked again.

Chi Leng thought for a while and replied, "Send it to the room, I'm a little tired today and want to rest early." ”

The innkeeper answered, and went to the kitchen to get busy, and Chi Leng also took the opportunity to restrain the tiredness on his face, turned around and walked upstairs.

Passing by Bai Qi's room, he knocked on the door twice, and just wanted to continue back to his room, but he couldn't help but stop.

Although she didn't need to respond to the previous code, she was keenly aware of the slightest abnormality.

Bai Qi's room seems to be a little too quiet!

Chi Leng frowned, reached out and knocked on the door in front of him again, and asked softly, "Bai Qi, are you there?" ”

“......”

There was no response, and there was a dead silence inside the door.

Chi Leng's face became solemn, and the wire on his wrist poked out from his cuffs like a snake, and then slowly reached out and held the doorknob.

Click!

The clear sound of the door lock came, Chi Leng's eyes suddenly froze, and the hand that had just touched the doorknob retracted as if electrocuted, and at the same time, the whole person quickly pulled away and put on a defensive posture.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Qi's figure appeared at the door and asked lightly.

Chi Leng looked directly at Bai Qi's indifferent eyes, and asked tentatively, "Why didn't you answer when I told you just now?" ”

Bai Qi explained calmly: "I accidentally fell asleep just now, so I didn't hear it. ”

"Oh!"

Chi Leng nodded, and for some reason suddenly became a little nervous, and secretly swallowed his saliva and asked, "Did you find anything abnormal today?" ”

"Nope."

"I didn't find it here either." Chi Leng struggled to squeeze out a little smile and said, "Since that's the case, then you can have a good rest." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Qi replied coldly, and closed the door again.

Chi Leng looked at the closed door in front of him, and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to leave.

Bai Qi stood inside the door until the footsteps outside the door gradually disappeared from near and far, and then he suddenly sat down on the floor, and his whole person trembled uncontrollably.

The light blue color instantly appeared from the bottom of the eye, and then quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and correspondingly, the temperature in the room was getting lower and lower, as if even the soul could freeze.

The mad blood has flared up again, and is more domineering than ever; However, the efficacy of the ice reagent is getting weaker and weaker, and it seems that it will not be able to be suppressed.

"Whew!"

Cold sweat continued to slide down his forehead, and just as the medicinal effect of the ice reagent was about to completely disappear, Bai Qi suddenly regained his composure, and then closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

On the other side, Chi Leng quickly returned to his room, and after eating the dinner brought by the innkeeper and washing up, he finally lay down on the bed.

Then just as she was about to close her eyes and sleep, Bai Qi's eyes just now couldn't help but appear in her mind, and she suddenly felt a chill.

......

"Xiong Chao, it's been three days, do you think the military advisor can return to Cambrian Academy smoothly?"

In a hidden warehouse in the southern city of Xingneng Academy, Su Xiaoxiao was wrapped in a blanket, and while looking boredly at the night outside the window, he asked Xiong Chao, who was silent.

Xiong Chao thought for a moment when he heard this, and replied in a firm tone: "With the ability of the military division, there must be no problem." ”

"Hmm."

Su Xiaoxiao hummed softly, the hand under the blanket involuntarily stroked the necklace on his chest, and suddenly asked again, "Xiong Chao, you said that if my strength is a little stronger, will I be able to act with the military advisor." ”

“...... I do not know. Xiong Chao fixed his gaze at Su Xiaoxiao's side face, hesitated for a long time before shaking his head and said, "But since he has entrusted us with such an important task, it means that he believes in us." ”

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed and murmured, "Trust? Maybe you're right. ”

Xiong Chao smiled: "The military advisor has always been a man of words, since he said that he wanted to see the world with us, he will never leave us." ”

"Huh!"

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled, and then said, "You're right, the military advisor will never leave us companions. ”

For some reason, Xiong Chao looked at Su Xiaoxiao's smiling face and suddenly felt that he should say something.

But before he could speak, Su Xiaoxiao asked as if unintentionally, "Xiong Chao, do you think the military advisor likes Teacher Ling?" ”

Xiong Chao's body froze, and he really didn't know how to answer such a question.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care about Xiong Chao's reaction at all, and still sat there quietly, hiding her whole face in the shadows.

"I've known for a long time that the military advisor likes Teacher Ling, and I've known it since I saw the smile on the military advisor's face in front of Teacher Ling."

Xiong Chao sat on the ground in silence and didn't say a word.

"To be honest, I was really happy for a while when I learned that Teacher Ling was missing, but after seeing what the military advisor had done for her, I couldn't be happier."

Su Xiaoxiao said in a calm tone, "Because I suddenly found that although I was very close to the military advisor, I had always been just a companion who accompanied him to see the vast world, and Ling Feixue was the one in the deepest part of his heart. ”。

Xiong Chao suddenly asked, "Then why are you still working so hard for Teacher Ling's affairs?" ”

"This is the task given to me by the military advisor, and of course I will complete it." Su Xiaoxiao replied, "In the end, I just like military advisors, that's all." ”
