Chapter 17: The Time of the Avalanche
"How's it going, have you thought about it?" A man wearing a bird-shaped mask sits high on the ice, and below him is Zhang Lingling, who was supposed to return to the igloo.
"Hmph, your status in the 'Phoenix' should not be low, this is a high-level bird-shaped mask. How did you find it, very few people know about it. Zhang Lingling snorted coldly.
"There are too many questions, and I have limited patience, tell me your options directly."
"No, Yang Zishen will definitely kill me!" Zhang Lingling clenched his fists and tried to restrain his emotions as much as possible.
"Just don't let him find out, don't you also can't get used to Lin Yuan? Give her to me, and she'll never come back. β
"But..."
"Do it, don't do it." The masked man interrupted Zhang Lingling's words, and he drew his Japanese sword, the blade of which glowed in the moonlit snowfield.
Zhang Lingling was silent for a long time, and finally let go of his fist and said, "Deal." β
"Very good, I wish you a good dream, Miss Zhang Lingling." The masked man put away his Japanese sword and disappeared gracefully on the ice.
At night, everyone went into their tents to sleep, and Yang Zishen went out alone to track the thing. Lin Yuan lay in his tent, looking at the round roof with wide eyes. Yang Zishen had been carrying her into the tent for a while, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.
Why did she know that? Yes, it was a white deer, which she had seen in a trance when she was infected by the slate. Where did it get its slate from when it brought it with it, and now it is found sleeping in this extremely cold place? What did it take again? Why did it cross half the world to the North Pole?
It feels so intimate and familiar to itself, why? If it was really the white deer he saw, then the white deer must have spent a very long time alone, how lonely it should be. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's heart was very sad, and tears rolled in his eyes.
She thought she was getting weirder and weirder. When she was a child, she was born knowing many things, and she naturally knew how to do them without studying; grew up, and was so sad because of a white deer who met for the first time, it didn't look like her at all.
Lin Yuan gathered the quilt, the warm plush touch made her feel a lot more relieved, and she fell asleep in a trance thinking about things like this.
Yang Zishen rushed in the endless snowfield, and his black figure flashed in the moonlight and the white glacier world. Soon, he stopped at the oasis that Lin Yuan had just visited today, and the blue ripples formed by his thoughts spread out around him.
"Jiuze, show up." He didn't speak, but the flowers and plants swayed slightly, and many of the small animals raised their heads in response to him.
"Who's calling my real name?" The white light gathered in the air, and slowly condensed a white deer, the antlers had nine forks, it held its head high, looked down at Yang Zishen for a long time, and said: "Why did your appearance change suddenly? β
"For thousands of years, what can remain the same?" Yang Zishen asked rhetorically.
"It's been a thousand years, and you're a mere human being, so it's not easy to survive so far."
"Why do you sleep here, and don't guard it in your clan?"
"She hasn't returned, what does that clan have to do with me, today I heard her voice in a dream, but I was stirred up by a group of mortals."
Yang Zishen looked at Jiu Ze with some moist eyes, and said emotionally: "You will continue to sleep here, and I will not let others disturb you again." β
"However, the volcano here lives because of me, and if I leave, the Far North will be gone." After speaking, Jiu Ze disappeared into the air, and there was still a sentence left in the air: "Human, your life is about to end, so you can do it yourself." β
Yang Zishen summoned the consciousness of the "Tai'a" sword, stroked its sword body and said: "Go, if anyone moves this place in vain, there will be no mercy." Tai'a Jian's consciousness flew in the air, spun around several times, and finally turned into dots of blue light and scattered.
The next day, Lin Yuan was dragged up from the tent by Zhang Lingling.
"Sister Lin Yuan, come with meβokay, that thing was left to me by my deceased grandmother." Zhang Lingling hugged Lin Yuan's arm and shook it vigorously.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and shook his head and said, "I want to sleep, you let Brother Zhao accompany you to find it." β
"Oh, sister, you can go with me, that stinky man will definitely not bother to look for it, I have been looking forward to you coming to accompany me."
Lin Yuan was shaken by her and couldn't do anything, she was really not good at dealing with a woman like Zhang Lingling, and she was extremely difficult. Yang Zishen and the director went out, probably to find the deer, hey, it seems that I only have to accompany her once.
"Are you sure you threw it here?" Lin Yuan carefully rummaged through the snow on the ground, and did not find the emerald pendant that Zhang Lingling said at all.
"I guess so, I wasn't sure about the last time I tracked that thing around." Zhang Lingling also squatted on the ground and rummaged seriously.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, okay, this person doesn't even know where he lost it, and he can't find it when it's dark. Resignedly, she crouched down again and dug deep into the snow.
"Isn't it buried in the depths by heavy snow, the last time you were here was a few days ago? Yes? Sister Ling Ling? Lin Yuan asked while looking for it, talking to himself, but he didn't get a reply for a long time.
She turned her head, a pair of hands dangled in front of her eyes, and a feeling of extreme dizziness hit her, and she lost consciousness completely without even having a chance to shout.
"Hmph, you're finally here, take people away, that wolf is not easy to mess with." Zhang Lingling hugged his arms and looked at the bird-shaped masked man from last night and snorted coldly.
The bird-shaped masked man took out a prop that resembled an electric shocker and aimed the iron mouth at the gem in Lin Yuan's hand, and thunder and lightning poured out from it and shattered the pink gem. The man casually took off the remaining ring, threw it on the ground, picked up Lin Yuan and ordered, "Poke out the location of that thing." β
"Huh? I didn't join you, I just said to help you lure Lin Yuan out! Zhang Lingling seemed to hear some joke and said mockingly.
The man ignored him and walked away on his own: "You have no way out, after you find it, put the news on the hundred-year-old tree on Banyan Street in the magic capital." β
"Ahhh Zhang Lingling was so angry that she roared fiercely in the direction he left, and then she lowered her head and smiled coldly. She took an emerald pendant from her neck, threw it on the ground, and then activated a gravity-altering ability to control the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the canyon to fall on her, and the cracked snow-capped mountains quickly buried her. To do a play, of course, you have to play a complete set, but she is a victim of serious injuries.
Five minutes later, the enlarged silver arrived, and he looked up to the sky and shouted, "Woo-woo-", and then buried his head in the collapsing snow.
Beyond the two snow-capped mountains, Yang Zishen and Lu Huai were exploring the terrain and space here.
Lu Huai used the power of space to sense the magma under the Arctic permafrost and said: "This place is like a Tai Chi Bagua diagram, yin and yang are born together. If the flow of magma underground is forcibly changed, the Arctic will freeze the sea, causing the global temperature to plummet, and the Earth will enter the age of icebergs. β
Yang Zishen nodded and said, "I used the slate to detect its position again this morning, and I thought it was strange. If it has the power of space, why does it never leave the North Pole, we were about to catch it last night. Now it seems that that thing is only afraid of being unable to grasp, and humanity is not ready for global evolution. β
Lu Huai sighed: "Yes, human beings are not ready to evolve, it is likely to be an ancient god. β
At this moment, the cry of silver echoed in the mountains, and Yang Zi said in a deep voice: "It's not good, something happened to Lin Yuan!" He sprinted to the nearest iceberg in a few steps, jumped up the mountain with his strength, and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Lu Huai looked at Yang Zishen, who was about to cross the mountain range, and shook his head in place: "The young man nowadays is really anxious. β
Yang Zishen climbed over the two mountain ranges in succession, and when he arrived, Baiyin had already dug Zhang Lingling out of the ice and snow.
"Silver, what's going on?" Lying on the ground was Zhang Lingling, whose face was pale, and Yang Zi squatted down and looked at Bai Yin, who had become smaller.
Silver arched his hand with his head and placed a fragment of the pink gemstone in his hand. Yang Zishen lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
When Zhang Lingling woke up, it was already six o'clock in the evening. She was buried deep in the avalanche for at least 10 minutes, and if Silver had dug her out any later, she would have suffocated either from freezing to death.
"Say, what's going on, don't try to lie in front of me." The blue light flashed, and Yang Zishen stared at Zhang Lingling, who had woken up, and asked.
Zhang Lingling burst into tears all of a sudden, she cried: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have dragged Sister Lin Yuan to find the emerald pendant left by my grandmother, it's all my fault, I will accept any punishment given to me by the institute." β
"While we were looking, a man wearing a high-grade bird-shaped mask suddenly appeared, and he had the ability to change gravity like me, creating an avalanche. Suddenly, I was thrown into an avalanche by her, only to see Lin Yuan's sister taken away by him. β
"Reorganize your language, I want to know the truth" Yang Zishen strengthened his mind control on Zhang Lingling, and his eyes did not have any temperature.
Zhang Lingling's eyes were dull, his lips were blue, and he said in a slurred voice: "Pendant... Masked man.... Avalanche... Save Sister Lin Yuan...."
Zhao Chao carefully looked at Zhang Lingling's painful expression, and said on the side: "Her expression doesn't seem to be fake, there is indeed an A-class member who controls gravity in the 'Phoenix', and I have been with him when I was on a mission before." β
Yang Zishen stared at Zhang Lingling for a long time, as if considering the authenticity of her words, and in the end he didn't say anything, retracted his control and got up to leave.
Zhao Chao briefly comforted Zhang Lingling and went out, after all, the relationship between the two was average, and they only met because of this mission. Although Zhang Lingling scolded Lin Yuan last night, Zhao Chao felt that she didn't have the courage to collaborate with the enemy.
When she was alone and quiet, Zhang Lingling couldn't help but laugh anymore, her eyes were full of viciousness, and she said secretly: Since she dares to help the 'Phoenix', she has a way to deal with Yang Zishen's mind manipulation. It's really unfortunate that she was hypnotized since she was a child, and it is no longer a problem to hypnotize herself. Sister Lin Yuan, even if Yang Zishen finds you in the end, I'm afraid you will be completely ruined. I've heard that. 'Phoenix' has been very arrogant recently, and has arrested a lot of infected people for human experiments, so don't die too soon.....
