Chapter 17: The First Encounter with the Great Master
Along the way, Liu Mo explained a lot of things to me, many of which have been told before, but today I also re-told them, about these basic matters he is like giving me a heart booster, it is difficult not to keep me in mind, so I don't have to worry too much, in addition, the only thing that can make me nervous is the identity that Liu Mo specially made up for me in order to let me enter the ranks of the contract envoys, not to mention that I am not a very good liar, for fear that I will be confused for a while after seeing the big master and then reveal any flaws, But whenever someone detects the clues, Liu Mo and I will not be able to eat and walk around, until we come to an empty boundary, stop Liu Mo immediately muttered a few words similar to a spell in the same place Anyway, I don't understand the words of a spell, as soon as his voice fell, a suspended building appeared in front of him like a mirage, this building is attached to the ancient atmosphere from the outside, it should have a long history, it turns out that their organization has set up an enchantment here, and it is a secret that only the contract envoy knows, when he saw the door slowly open, I was about to follow Liu Mo in at the moment when I began to hesitate, "Liu Mo, wait, it may be that I am not fully sure of myself, so I am a little timid, why don't I come back another day!" ”
"It's okay, follow me, as long as you see the Great Juggernaut do exactly what I say, there will be no problem." Liu Mo didn't stop after he finished speaking, and I had to follow him.
Since entering the enchantment, my heart is beating at a high frequency all the time, and from time to time I will swallow several saliva in a row because of nervousness, we passed through a long corridor, and soon arrived at the residence where the Great Juggernaut was, in order to be foolproof, Liu Mo, who walked to the door, looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, he spread his palm in front of me and temporarily sealed everything about ordinary people on me with his ability, and then leaned over my ear and whispered: "This method can only ensure that you will not have any flaws for a period of time, but it is not a long-term solution after all, Therefore, we have to race against time, and strive to get the contract that belongs to you as soon as possible, and if there is no one else around him today, it may be a little smoother, but I still have to tell you, don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more problems will arise. ”
"Good!" I took a deep breath and nodded to Liu Mo to indicate that I was ready,
After hearing my answer, Liu Mo took out a silver card from his jacket pocket, stretched out his hand and swiped the card against the door, and the door opened automatically with a click, and I walked into the room with him, and the sunlight from the window was projected on a man dressed like a magician costume in the "Harry Potter" movie, and a black big-brimmed hat, he was reading a thick book with his back to us in front of the table, "The Great Contract makes Liu Mo, I have seen the Great Master." Liu Mo put his right hand on his chest, knelt down on one knee to show respect for the great master, their form of etiquette made me dumbfounded, I didn't expect what age this is, there will be people with this old-fashioned way of saluting, Liu Mo saw me stunned in place, so he dragged me hard, I stumbled without half a defense, scared that I hurriedly knelt on the ground, this movement is really a bit big, Liu Mo's words of peace and the sound of me suddenly falling to the ground broke the silence in the room at this time.
After hearing the sound, the man turned around and put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah, it's Liu Mo'er here, get up quickly!" ...... is this girl next to you? "After witnessing his dignity, I knew that the person who was called the great master in Liu Mo's mouth, and now the leader of the contract envoy ranks, turned out to be a kind and kind elder, looking kind like the old man next door who always met under the eaves in summer when I was a child, holding a pu fan and a straw hat, sitting peacefully on a solid wood rocking chair to enjoy the shade, with gray eyebrows and beard and a smile, and there was no doubt in his eyes, which made the tension and uneasiness in my heart disappear in an instant. Perhaps it was for this reason that I suddenly felt that the great master in front of me was somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
"Great Master, have you forgotten? I told you two days ago that I have a younger sister in my family, and I think she has a lot of potential, and today I finally have the opportunity to bring it to you to have a look, if you agree......"
"Okay, I remember, I'll ask this girl myself." The Great Juggernaut raised his hand and motioned for Liu Mo to pause for a moment, and then turned his gaze to me, "Girl, what's your name?" ”
"Great Juggernaut, my name is Xiao Maomao." On the road before, Liu Mo told me: The big master will answer whatever he asks, so I didn't dare to say a word more.
The big juggernaut nodded and asked me again: "You are Liu Mo'er's sister, but I don't remember which man in his family is surnamed Xiao, maybe he is old, and his memory is a little bad!" ”
"I was born with my mother's surname, my parents died when I was three years old, it was Liu's mother who brought me up, my parents were not qualified to be a real contract envoy because of their lack of ability, so I have lived to the present without a name, fortunately, it was Brother Liu Mo who inadvertently discovered the potential in my body, so that I was fortunate to meet the big master." In the ranks of contract envoys, although the ability is inherited by the family, but only those who are qualified enough can be selected or recommended to become real contract envoys, and only when they become real contract envoys, their names can appear in the roster of contract envoys, otherwise in addition to special abilities, there is no difference between ordinary people in their lives, and at the same time, each family and each vein in the family will also set their own internal rules.
"What a poor child, the mother Liu who raised you is Liu Mo'er's mother?" After I finished telling this pre-fabricated life story according to Liu Mo's arrangement, the Great Juggernaut expressed deep sympathy for me, "Liu Mo'er, why has it been so long since I heard about this matter?" ”
"We didn't deliberately deceive the big master, but this matter is indeed Mao Mao's private matter, whether to say it or not is also up to her, Mao Mao, this child is introverted, not very fond of interacting with outsiders, usually in addition to being able to say a few words with the people who live in my yard, she prefers to be alone in my backyard, and people outside the yard have hardly seen her. There is also Xi Xiao, who was under my command some time ago, in the mission...... She used to be my most powerful person, but now that she's dead, there's a vacancy in the team I lead, and there's no one to take over her part of the task after that, so please consider it. "Liu Mo wants to use the pressure he will face on the mission as a bargaining chip to get the Grand Juggernaut to agree to me joining the ranks of the contract envoys.
"I know that Xi Xiao's death hit you very hard, and we also feel sorry for it, since you said that you need manpower, and this girl was personally recommended by you, then I will push the boat to give you this face, but in the future, you have to do it yourself!" Obviously, there is something in the words of the Great Master, but we can't figure out the meaning of the final self-act.
After that, the smile on the face of the Grand Juggernaut froze, his expression became heavy, and he silently took out a contract to make the entry agreement in front of me, I signed my name and handed the agreement back to the Grand Juggernaut, he waved his sleeves on the surface of the agreement, and a special symbol appeared on the paper - the letters Q and Y were surrounded by vine-like lines, and the center of the pattern also had a leopard's head as a whole foil, making the logo appear unconventional.
Signing the contract is only a more important part of the process of becoming a real contract maker, so there is still one last step away from the success of the plan, and the person who is recognized as able to enter the ranks of the contract needs to mark a certain part of the body with QY, when I was worried about where to mark, I looked down and saw the scar on my arm that was stitched six times, and I felt that this is the only place on my body that is suitable, and the mark can also be used to cover the scar, and I remembered that I was going to take time to go to the tattoo shop to tattoo something here, Now it seems that there is no need to bother to run by yourself, just to take the opportunity to achieve the goal, why not do it without wasting money? Without hesitation, he raised his arm and said, "Great Master, let's mark here." ”
"Okay, but the part you chose is a little easy to attract attention, since you have joined the ranks of contract envoys, in your daily life without revealing your special identity, you must not avoid dealing with ordinary people, if someone asks, you must not explain the truth, are you sure?" The Admonition of the Great Lord was already in my expectation.
I still didn't waver in my thoughts, and replied categorically: "I'm sure, please rest assured." ”
Seeing that I had made up my mind, the Great Juggernaut put the palm of one of my hands facing down, parallel to the scarred position of my arm, and separated by about ten centimeters between them, I watched the whole process, from the beginning to the end of the time only took a maximum of half a minute, the blink of an eye with a slight tingling sensation similar to the tip of a needle touching the skin completed the final link, since then I have a new identity, ushered in a completely different life from before, was given a new mission, I am no longer the original Xiao Maomao, In the past, Xiao Maomao died from the terrible words of people, died from the crowding and indifferent crowds, and had long since turned into dust, but now the "reborn" Xiao Maomao only lives for himself, vowing not to be easily merciful, let alone waste time for unworthy people.
This thing went far more smoothly than expected, although it was still a little unsuitable for their way of kneeling, but I understood the principle of following the local customs from a very young age, so I learned from Liu Mo's appearance and said goodbye to the great master with him, after leaving the residence of the great master, we walked out of the enchantment along the route we came, and when we returned to the ordinary realm, it was late, and the stars filled the night sky, but it didn't take long for my breathing to become short, and my head ached faintly, presumably the rejection reaction had another attack, and I was glad that no one passed by, Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Mo immediately helped me to sit under a tree and rest. Based on my previous personal experience, this time I am ready to use my own strength to counterbalance the rejection reaction.
Ultimately......
