Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 88 Gathering
Liao Yu hurriedly put the finished runes into the storage space, and swept all the magic materials containing magic into the private space as quickly as possible, and more than half of those sophisticated alchemy equipment was too late to clean up, so Liao Yu had to set up an extremely simple phantom array.
This is a very basic illusion array, which can be completed with just a simple spell and magic. However, the effect is only touching the threshold of the phantom array, but it has changed from the image of using the reflection of light to present the object on people's retina, a bit similar to the principle of a chameleon, but more thorough than it.
So don't think about relying on such a simple phantom array to run rampant on the earth in the 22nd century, whether it is thermal imaging or three-dimensional measurement and other detection methods, you can easily identify this kind of phantom array. Even if it is a magic apprentice of the same level, if you look at it with a little spiritual power, you can see the alchemy equipment under the phantom array, but it is enough for ordinary people to simply hide it.
As for the various formulas and processes left over from the calculations just now, Liao Yu chose to simply clean them up and throw them directly on the table, anyway, there are examples to prove that for these contents that can be explained to the outside world and others or fooled the past, Hantang will not judge them to leak Hantang's secrets.
It only took a few minutes to go back and forth, and Zheng Wei walked to the door and opened the door for Huang Jian.
", what are you doing here, I don't know if I think I'm here to catch a rapist."
Outside the door stood an extremely strong man, 1.8 meters tall was not a giant in this era, but the broad back and strong muscles always made people feel like they were seeing a whole mountain wall when they saw him at first glance.
"Wow, what you said is so disgusting, when have you been so gay, if it weren't for Lao Tzu making steak and pasta, you would have eaten a fart."
Zheng Wei slammed his fist into Huang Jian's chest and closed the door with his hand.
Huang Jian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zheng Wei.
"Hey, is it my delusion, why do you feel that you have a lot of strength."
Zheng Wei replied with no different face: "Why, it means that I am exercising every day." ”
"Would you spend your time working on the workman?" Huang Jian's eyes were about to roll to his forehead, and in the entire dormitory of the university, Zheng Wei didn't like sports the most. But perhaps because of this, Zheng Wei is a big step ahead of the two in other aspects.
Liao Yu knocked on the table to draw Huang Jian's attention away from these details.
"Okay, it's time to eat, there's a lot of nonsense."
Huang Jian walked quickly to the restaurant and slapped Liao Yu on the shoulder.
"Dad, this is caring about you, and you are still complaining, it's chilling."
"Don't eat it again."
The three of them complained to each other as they went to the kitchen to bring out the prepared Western food.
"Zheng Wei, why do you always cook Western food." Huang Jian was holding the plate while his mouth kept babbling.
"Because it's easy, I answered for him, and I want that M6, I don't like M9." Liao Yu said as he switched the position of the steak in front of him with Huang Jian's steak.
Soon all that remained on the table was the tantalizing sound of knives and forks cutting steaks, and the smell of roasted meat and light butter permeated Zheng Wei's small restaurant.
The three men ate together much faster than the women, and in less than twenty minutes, all the plates on the table were emptied.
"Let's go, it's time to close, Huang Jian, when did you just say you were going to report?" Zheng Wei walked towards the kitchen with a plate.
"I haven't registered, I haven't passed the interview yet, and I'm going to enter my dad's military research institute." Huang Jian put away his plate and the plate handed by Liao Yu, "I don't know if it's good or not, there has been no breakthrough in the theoretical foundation in recent years, my dad and they are just doing some simple optimization and improvement, most of the work is done by intelligent machinery, the so-called research is more just repeating the old ways of predecessors." ”
Huang Jian got up as he said and was about to take the plate in his hand to the kitchen, but when he passed by the table next to the dining table, he suddenly turned sideways and said curiously: "Hey, what, why didn't you notice these things at all just after eating." ”
Huang Jian stretched out his free left hand as he spoke, and there was a pile of sophisticated magic instruments that Liao Yu had covered with a phantom array!
Liao Yu's expression changed, but fortunately, at this moment, Huang Jian was facing Liao Yu sideways, and he didn't notice that Liao Yu, who usually looked cold, suddenly changed his face.
Curiously, he picked up a golden instrument that resembled a scale, the main trunk of which was engraved with dense magic runes, and the storage trays at both ends were unusually large compared to the volume of the entire scale.
"Why are you buying this, you have to redo the middle school experiment."
Liao Yu could only deal with it, that thing seemed to be somewhat similar to the balance of this world, but in fact it was not an instrument to measure whether the weight on both sides was equal, but to measure whether the number of basic magic elements they contained was equal, and the magic runes engraved on it were used to sense the magic elements of objects at both ends.
This is the most elementary alchemy equipment in the wizarding world, and this kind of measurement can only be used for very rudimentary magic materials, if it is an item such as a phoenix feather or the venom gland of a bipedal wyvern, then this balance is basically completely invalid.
"Okay, Zheng Wei always likes to collect some strange things, but these workmanship is quite good, how much ......"
Huang Jian put the instrument back on the table as he spoke, but before he finished speaking, the whole person suddenly disappeared from the room without warning, as if he had teleported away from here in an instant, and the plate in his hand lost its support at this moment, and immediately crackled and smashed on the ground.
Liao Yu stood up from the chair in a moment, his eyes widened with an incredible look, and Zheng Wei had just stuffed his plate into the dishwasher, and after hearing such a big movement from the restaurant, he rushed out before he could close the dishwasher.
"What's the matter, Huang Jian?"
Liao Yu didn't answer, rushed to the place where Huang Jian disappeared with an arrow step, grabbed the alchemy instrument that Huang Jian had just put down, and began to check these instruments in turn with his spiritual power over and over again.
Seeing Liao Yu's actions, Zheng Wei's face turned pale, and then immediately turned to normal, he closed his eyes and began to lose his scruples, and began to use his spiritual power to cast a net around Huang Jian's soul fluctuations with the house as a circle.
However, five minutes later, both of them gave up on the search for mental power.
Liao Yu slowly put down the alchemy instrument in his hand and sat down slowly with a frown.
"Just now he saw through my phantom array, reached out and picked up these alchemy equipment, and then suddenly disappeared."
Zheng Wei had opened his eyes at this time, standing in place and looking at the restaurant he was familiar with. Because his use of spiritual power was already inferior to Liao Yu, he looked much paler at the moment after using all his strength.
"How so, first of all, it's unlikely that he was randomly selected like you, and if so, it would be too coincidental."
Liao Yu clasped his chest with one hand and propped it on his chin with the other, his eyes scanning back and forth between the broken dinner plate and the alchemy equipment on display.
"Judging from the information in the Exchange Square, more than ninety percent of the explorers were randomly pulled into the cold pond, except for you who tracked all the way to the end because of me, I also heard a possibility from other explorers, that is, if a person has more talent or ability than ordinary people in a certain aspect, he may be pulled into the cold pond on his own initiative."
Zheng Wei thought for a moment, and immediately picked up Liao Yu's words: "That is to say, Huang Jian himself has such an ability, but we are like a lighthouse or signal amplifier sent by Hantang to various parallel planes of the universe, after Huang Jian enters our vicinity, the probability of him being detected by Hantang has greatly increased." ”
"And after he picked up the alchemy equipment I put there, it was like breaking through the critical point and being suddenly pulled in." Liao Yu sighed deeply, to be honest, Liao Yu really didn't want the people around him to get involved in this kind of thing. With Zheng Wei by his side, he is already very satisfied, and there is really no need to pull others in.
"Forget it, it's not your fault, I'll do the same if I were replaced, don't be too guilty, just wait honestly." Zheng Wei got up and began to clean up the debris on the ground, while Liao Yu sighed deeply, closed his eyes and slowly calmed his emotions, and began to explain to Luo Ying that he would go back later tonight.
"It's strange, why don't you reply to messages, forget it, she always throws her phone in her bag, let's deal with things here first."
After Liao Yu left a message for Luo Ying, he got up and walked around the restaurant a few times, and then began to rummage through Zheng Wei's house for a home first aid kit, no one knew whether Huang Jian had enough universal coins to pay for treatment after this mission, or if he had thought everything through and was prepared.
Both of them were in a nervous state of mind at the moment, and they didn't dare to enter deep meditation at this time. Liao Yu continued to carry out shallow meditation all the time every day, and after thinking of this way, except for the period of sleeping, Liao Yu always forced himself to maintain this state when he was awake, and because of this, the level of Liao Yu's magic power was not left behind by Zheng Wei, who had just improved.
Although Zheng Wei understood the principle of this shallow meditation under Liao Yu's explanation, at this stage, he still needs to wait for him to thoroughly master the deep meditation before he dares to try this meditation method that has not been seen in books.
However, just as they both made up their minds that they might take turns keeping vigil, the cafeteria suddenly filled the room with that mysterious faint mist. The two of them immediately cheered up, and their two pairs of eyes stared at the place where Huang Jian disappeared in the restaurant. And Liao Yu took the opportunity to glance at the time by the way, from the time Huang Jian entered the world to the present, just two hours have passed.
Huang Jian's sturdy and tall figure soon reappeared in the restaurant, and before the worried look on his face subsided, he saw Liao Yu, who was excited and happy in front of him, and the two of them took a few steps forward at the same time, each reaching out and grabbing his shoulder and arm. He could feel the unexpressed friendship between the two of them from the pain coming from his arms.
At this time, he could only grin and smile, and reached out to pat the two of them on the back. Since graduating, the three of them, who have rarely gotten together because of their separate lives, have finally come together side by side in another world in a form.
