Chapter 652: Under the Starlight, About the Little Things of the Year
There's a task......
Hearing this, the rest of the monks at the light and heat stove were a little curious, but they didn't have any extra thoughts.
Because everyone's abilities are different, if something happens at the moment, and someone from a certain bureau is transferred over, it's already considered a ...... Routine operations.
However, hearing this, Cheng Lin's heart moved, and then he sighed lightly, and immediately, his face stood up as usual, and he smiled: "Okay." β
The member of the First Division was obviously stunned, probably not expecting him to answer so simply, and sincerely wanted to ask: "Don't you even ask what the task is?" β
However, after hesitating, he didn't ask after all, he just glanced at Cheng Lin deeply, turned around and led the way.
Along the way, Cheng Lin looked as usual, met some acquaintances, greeted him with a smile, and didn't see anything unusual from his appearance, but when he arrived at the place, he didn't see Shi Shengcun, but a team leader explained the situation and asked for his opinion.
Aides? Exploring the path with Shi Shengcun?
Hearing the details of this task, Cheng Lin was dumbfounded: "Why did you choose me?" β
He asked.
The team leader said calmly: "The head of the department said that we need a person with strong comprehensive quality, no shortcomings, and strong enough, and we don't have many choices." β
Cheng Lin stared at him seriously, confirming that the other party should not know his "identity", well, he was referring to the identity of "black robe".
Silently exhaled, Cheng Lin thought to himself, as he had guessed, this news had not yet spread, perhaps, it only existed in a very small number, and even Shi Shengcun's own speculation.
"What is this? Individually invited? Cheng Linyu smiled in his heart and nodded happily, "Okay, where is Chief Shi?" β
The team leader pointed ahead, away from the edge of the forest in the camp, and Cheng Lin looked over, only to find that there was already a figure standing quietly there.
"Thank you." Cheng Lin thanked him, and then walked over there.
It wasn't until he left that the group leader showed a confused look: "This person ...... It feels so weird. β
β¦β¦
The night is silent, and the stars shine on the earth, and the night is very good, but unfortunately it does not illuminate the forest of eternal darkness.
Stepping on the ground that was gradually softening, the figure became clearer and clearer in front of his eyes, and Cheng Lin's mood suddenly became a little weird.
After all, he was familiar with this man, having witnessed him blow himself up in the Maelstrom Deduction, and had walked with him in the deep space that had just ended...... It's just that in reality, it seems that this is the first time we have met?
Speaking of which, it seems quite amazing.
When Cheng Lin was full of emotion, Shi Shengcun also turned around and looked over.
He is still dressed in a rather period dress, with a heavy frame on the bridge of his nose, black hair parted, his eyes are translucent, his waist and back are straight, and his appearance is not special, very ordinary.
He stared at Cheng Lin quietly for a while, as if he was trying to see something very seriously, if it was an ordinary person, it would probably be very cramped, whether it was identity or strength, in this camp, he could no longer find anything higher than him, but Cheng Lin obviously did not belong to this list.
"Let's go?" Didn't make any clichΓ© opening remarks, nor did he directly stab anything, Shi Shengcun looked away very calmly, and then said.
Cheng Lin didn't open his mouth to respond, but just pressed the button on the cylinder in his hand - this was one of the equipment given to him by the leader of the first division.
"Smack!"
In the crisp sound of the keys, the cylinder emitted a snowy light, spreading out, illuminating the surrounding ten meters range, and immediately, the two of them didn't say anything, and walked straight into the forest.
β¦β¦
The forest is indeed more cramped than the Gobi, and the layers of trees almost fill the space overhead, and the starlight is only a slit.
There was no road in the forest, so the two of them could only walk in the mountains, and everything within ten meters was illuminated, but ten meters away, there was endless darkness, as if there were countless pairs of eyes and countless lives.
When the two set foot on this quiet land, the whole forest "came alive".
Cheng Lin could hear countless fine sounds in the darkness in his ears, and he didn't know which plant it belonged to, but he wasn't worried about it, and Shi Shengcun was even less worried.
In the silence, there began to be countless bright branches, strange flowers, and mutated rhizomes...... Coming from the darkness and stopping at a distance of ten meters, it seemed to follow some instinct to cull up.
However, when Cheng Lin looked over, those plants shrank back one after another, but they didn't seem to be reconciled, they didn't stay away, and always kept at the edge of the light.
Seeing this scene, Shi Shengcun raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw that without a sound, those plants withered, faded in color, and became miserable white, and then fell softly and lost their life.
The two of them never stopped, but continued to move forward, and every distance they walked, Shi Shengcun would send a signal to the sky to show the way to the rear.
The two were silent all the way, and it wasn't until the third flare lifted off that Shi Shengcun took the lead in breaking the silence:
"I heard that you are from Ningcheng?"
Cheng Lin looked up at the "fireworks" that exploded in the night sky, the light source in his hand did not move at all, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Yes." β
"I went there, about two years ago, and Shen Shanjing went on a mission and passed there. At that time, the two of us were classmates. Shi Shengcun said in a slightly reminiscent tone.
Cheng Lin thought to himself, this should refer to the period of the "Ability Bureau".
He thought for a moment and pretended to be a little surprised: "Classmate? β
"Yes, at that time, the revival of Reiki was still very rudimentary, except for a very few people who knew about it, it was still in the stage of strict secrecy, there was no special department at that time, only a special ability bureau, I and Shen Shanjing, Liang Jing, and Huang Yin were the first batch of experiments, heh, this is what we jokingly called each other at that time, after all, at that time, people still lacked understanding of these, and even, a considerable number of people were extremely resistant to this research, but later, ...... It's finally gone. Shi Shengcun said slowly recalling.
"Yes." Cheng Lin answered.
Shi Shengcun smiled: "At that time, everyone didn't know whether these changes were good or bad, and we, as the first batch of experiments, didn't know what greeted us, whether it was heaven or hell?" In fact, it has been a subject of debate until now. β
"Like science and technology?" Cheng Lin quipped.
Shi Shengcun nodded in agreement and praised:
That's what it means, after so many years of technological development, haven't some people always thought that this would eventually lead us to destruction? It's the same with psionic energy, so at first, everyone was confused, and it was not appropriate to say that they were classmates.
Because we don't even have any teachers, all the researchers can only put forward some auxiliary opinions, and the rest have to be explored by ourselves, explore ourselves, and discover our strength, everything is to cross the river by feeling the stones.
For example, the practice of practicing in China today is something that we have pondered and experimented with little by little, and we have changed it many times, trying to find the most efficient way.
At that time, we often looked forward to it, thinking how good it would be if there really was a teacher. β
