Chapter 39: Confession
After figuring out a rather philosophical thing, Zhou Ning felt that his life had been sublimated, and his compulsion instantly improved by more than one notch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep.
How do you know that after only three seconds of your head being on the pillow, your consciousness will be blurred.
After Hei Tian woke up from his sleep, he was even confused.
Who am I?
Where is this?
What to wear today?
He sat up sleepily with the soft quilt in his arms, and at a glance he saw the turtle sitting in front of the TV quietly watching the cartoon, and couldn't help but say with a heartache: "Turtle turtle, you have fallen." ”
The turtle turned his head, and his immature little face was full of question marks.
"When you were a bead, you were clamoring to cultivate every day." Zhou Ning said: "Now, you are watching cartoons every day!" ”
After hearing this, the turtle's big eyes flashed: "Dad, don't you want to live anymore?" ”
Zhou Ning was so frightened that he woke up instantly: "Turtle turtle, I'm my father!" You're actually ...... How dare you threaten me? ”
It turns out that in the mind of the turtle, the blood relationship between their father and daughter is not as good as a cartoon!
Knowing this truth, Zhou Ning's tears were about to fall.
"I didn't threaten Dad." The turtle said confusedly: "Your soul is almost torn apart." If I continue to cultivate, Dad, you'll die!" ”
They share life and power, but they also share death and danger.
"And the Netherworld Path here has long been closed." The turtle turtle continued: "If you become a ghost, unless they are subdued like Liu Pei, you will be trapped in a dead place for the rest of your life." ”
What's the difference between that and going to jail?
Liu Pei actually didn't feel anything. Because since he woke up in the chaos, he has been running around with Zhou Ning.
But Han Feifei and Han Momo resonate a lot. They died in the garden, and the farther away from the garden after becoming ghosts, the weaker their soul power became. You must keep devouring other ghosts to replenish your lost soul power......
After following Zhou Ning, his actions were freer, but his thoughts were imprisoned again.
So they don't know whether they were in a good state before or in a good state now.
The only thing that is certain is that after following Zhou Ning, the cultivation of both of them has improved significantly.
After listening to the turtle's words, Zhou Ning suddenly realized: No wonder the turtle didn't clamoring to absorb soul power anymore, and he no longer cared about cultivation.
It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she can't.
"Tortoise! It's all Dad who delayed you! Zhou Ning was very moved, spread the quilt and jumped off the bed, then stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms, rubbed it vigorously, and then let go after rubbing all the stupid hair on the turtle ****: "Don't worry, Dad will definitely compensate you!" ”
The turtle's face was flushed, and there were tears in his clear eyes because of the accusation. But after hearing Zhou Ning say that she wanted to compensate her, she immediately put away her tears and left an unassuming saliva: "What to compensate?" Ice cream? ”
Zhou Ning smiled slightly, and replied gently: "Where can ice cream compare to my love for you?" Silly girl, I want to compensate you for more fatherly love. ”
After saying this, he felt that his whole person was much taller, and four big words must have slowly bloomed behind him: father's love is like a mountain.
I didn't notice the tortoise's cracked expression for a moment.
The journey at sea was boring and monotonous. Only the terrible howls of each night can add a touch of spice to their lives.
Zhang Tianlei watched the tracking ships on the reconnaissance map become fewer and fewer day by day, and his heart slowly settled down.
Maybe it's just the same way!
Otherwise, why didn't you do it all the time?
Otherwise, the strength they showed in the battle at the port was too strong, so that these people had scruples in their hearts and became entangled?
He guessed for a long time, but he didn't guess the reason.
Because no matter how big his brain was, he couldn't guess that Zhou Ning practiced the means of hiding the ship every day, and from time to time he would make the whole ship disappear for a while.
And it was because of this that the ships that followed them were on guard. Not only because the ship disappears in the daylight, but also because of the terrible howls that come out of the ship every night!
It's like this every night, and it's never broken for ten days!
Several scouts, who are known for their prudence, have turned back to their home. They shared the situation of the Pearl for a fee, and as a result, the more it spread, and slowly even the Wuyin City side aroused vigilance.
"Ghosts?" Zhou Jiawang sat on the sofa and pondered: "It's definitely not a ghost. ”
He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and admired the beauties approaching from time to time downstairs in the company through the large floor-to-ceiling window: "What is the recent movement of Zhaozhou City?" ”
Zhou Liang stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said succinctly: "Zhao Bingsheng now considers himself the city lord, and now he is busy with disaster relief and coordinating compensation with the Stranger Guild, but he didn't expect that his rear was already on fire. According to our information, that Miss Zhao Gu was already suspicious of her cousin. ”
"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhou Jiawang immediately felt interesting: "Who instigated it?" ”
City Lord Zhao has never had a son, and his daughter is young, in fact, he has always relied on Zhao Bingsheng to help deal with political affairs all these years. Therefore, Zhao Bingkun took over the position of the city lord of Zhaozhou City, which is not only the desire of the people, but also a certainty, and will never be changed. And according to him, the Zhao family really can't find more and better people!
In this case, there is still someone who can instigate Miss Zhao to do it against Zhao Bingkun?
"It's Hu Junmin." Zhou Liang cautiously replied: "He has been very close to Zhao Gu recently. Our intelligence suggests that he seems to be pursuing the other party. ”
Zhou Jiawang listened, and the smile dissipated from his face little by little.
"The Hu family wants to swallow Zhaozhou City?" He remembered the content of the task released by Hu Junmin in the Stranger Guild, and said thoughtfully: "Did he really give up Feng Qiuyi?" Just because of my cousin? Or cousin? ”
Zhou Liang mentioned at the right time: "The registered age is 20 years old." ”
"That's my cousin?" He meant something: "I don't know what he has become like when he is outstanding, so that Feng Qiuyi is inseparable from him for life and death." ”
When Zhou Liang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, didn't Zhou Tezhu investigate?" That Zhou Ning is also a middle-aged person. Thinking about it, Miss Feng just pitied him and felt pity for him! ”
"Who did you investigate?"
Suddenly, a dull voice came from behind him.
Zhou Jiawang's body trembled, and there was a slight panic in his eyes.
Miss Secretary ran in after her, her voice flustered: "Zhou Shao! He didn't make an appointment! ”
Zhou Jiawang had already turned around, his expression was calm, and his eyes showed surprise: "Grandpa!" ”
He smiled with a spring breeze Buddha face, gentle and elegant, took a few steps forward and supported Zhou Shanting's back, and said while helping the other party firmly to the sofa and sitting down: "Why are you here?" ”
After speaking, he glared at the secretary who followed up: "How do you do things?" Grandpa didn't announce it in advance when he came! He actually let him walk up in person! ”
can walk to the top floor of the company quietly but people are unaware, it seems that there are still many eyeliners of the old man in this company!
Miss Secretary bit her lip aggrievedly and lowered her head silently.
Zhou Shanting waved his hand: "It's not ****." You let her go down! ”
Thinking of Zhou Jiawang's sharp eyes just now, the secretary was both frightened and uneasy, and when he retreated aggrievedly, his hands were shaking when he closed the door.
Zhou Shanting watched the secretary walk out, and then said to Zhou Jiawang: "Say?" Who did your third uncle investigate? How did I hear that I had something to do with that girl from the Feng family? ”
Zhou Jiawang looked hesitant, and his heart was entangled.
Zhou Ning's existence, speaking out will definitely be bad for him.
But if he didn't say it, with Zhou Shanting's vision and qualifications, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide it.
"Why, what else do you have to hide?" Zhou Shanting asked with a straight face: "Say!" ”
Zhou Jiawang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Grandpa, since you heard it, I won't hide it from you!" Just have to promise me first, don't get excited after you hear it! ”
When Zhou Shanting heard this, his whole heart hung in his throat. His eyes went up, his lips pursed slightly, and then he hummed lightly.
Zhou Jiawang said: "Grandpa, there is news from the uncle!" ”
Zhou Shanting Huo stood up from the spot in a moment, and then rushed to Zhou Jiawang's side in one step, pinched his shoulders tightly, and said excitedly: "Really? ”
His expression was hopeful, and his voice trembled: "Where is your uncle?" Where is he! ”
Zhou Jiawang only felt that his arms hurt, but he couldn't resist, so he could only endure the discomfort and replied: "Grandpa, don't get excited!" As far as I know...... Brother-in-law...... Uncle, he's dead! ”
There is no need to pretend at the moment, he is all sad. Because he felt like his arms were going to be gone!
Zhou Shanting was like a thunderbolt, only thinking that he had heard it wrong: "How is it possible?" You're lying! ”
Zhou Jiawang responded in his heart, and his tone was categorical: "Grandpa! I didn't lie! Uncle, he's really gone! ”
The information filled in by Zhou Ning is that both parents died, so his uncle, isn't he dead!
Zhou Shanting let go of him, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, his cheeks were wet, and he was in tears, and asked in a choked voice: "News...... How much of the news came true? ”
Zhou Jiawang saw Zhou Shanting's appearance, and the indignation in his heart reached its peak. thinks that when his father disappeared in the battle, he didn't see Zhou Shanting shed a single tear. Now that he has been replaced by an uncle, the old man is so sad!
Could it be that only the uncle was born to the old man, and his father was raised outside?
Too eccentric!
"Ninety percent true." He deliberately said: "If grandpa doesn't believe it, it's the same if you investigate later......"
Zhou Shanting stood in place and was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Jiawang looked up and saw a confused look on the old man's face. His eyes were still cloudy, but they seemed to flash with memories that he couldn't articulate. He looked as if he was looking straight ahead, but his gaze was far away.
Zhou Jiawang knew that the old man was thinking about his uncle.
After a long time, Zhou Shanting woke up from his memories. Fang Cai's momentary fragility was like a bubble, which burst with his lucidity. He has once again become the "Emperor Taishang", and when his wise eyes meet people's eyes, you will even have the illusion that he can see through your heart's thoughts.
"How do you know this for sure? Where does the ninety percent true judgment come from? He asked.
Zhou Jiawang and Zhou Shanting only looked at each other for a moment, and then retracted their gaze very imposingly.
"Grandpa, some time ago, a person went to register for national identity, and the genetic sample matched our Zhou family's lineage." He whispered, "That person's name is Zhou Ning." Later, the third uncle went to investigate and found that he lived with Feng Qiuyi. It's a second-level water powerhouse. ”
You can't hide it, it's better to tell the truth.
Anyway, it's just a water-based ability, and it's still a second-level, and compared to him, a fifth-level thunder-based ability, it's not worth mentioning at all.
He wanted to see what the old man was going to do when he learned the news.
Zhou Shanting's expression was distorted for a moment. He seems to want to laugh? But it looks like crying?
Zhou Jiawang thought he was dazzled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. But when he looked at it again, Zhou Shanting had already sat back on the sofa with an expressionless face.
"Then why don't you bring him back?" He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked unhappily: "Our Zhou family is poor and can't open the pot?" I ask you, what the hell are you and your dad thinking? Why don't you inform me of this as soon as possible! You're very promising! They even united with the third child to hide it from me......"
Do you think he's old and doesn't deserve to know? Still scruples......
Worried about that child?
When Zhou Jiawang chose to tell the matter, he had already expected that Zhou Shanting would be dissatisfied. Now although the other party is angry, his expression is still calm.
At least it was calmer than he expected.
"We also want to confirm his identity and character." Zhou Jiawang replied without humility or arrogance: "He has been living abroad for so many years, who he raised, who he came into contact with, and whether he will be used by the enemy, these must be considered." After all, the fifty-year deadline is almost up. This time, there is no room for any mistakes in the City of Five Sounds! ”
His voice was loud and powerful. But when Zhou Shanting heard this, he didn't even move his eyebrows.
"And then? What did you find out? He asked.
Zhou Jiawang lowered his head, and his voice became softer.
"Grandpa, it's even stranger that I haven't found out anything." He said cryptically: "He is twenty years old this year, but we can't dig out a trace of the experience of the past twenty years. It's as if he came out of nowhere. Also, since he entered the city, there has been news of monsters in Zhaozhou City. He was in the detention center, and there were monsters in the detention center. He was in the Guild of the Aliens, and the Guild of the Aliens suddenly rained heavily, and the lightning and thunder roared like monsters. After he left, the Adeptus who tested him died inexplicably, with no scars on his body. There is also the city lord of Zhaozhou City, who is also unclear about his death. ”
He paused, his eyes lingered on Zhou Shanting's face for a moment, and after seeing that the other party still had a wooden face and couldn't see any emotions, he couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
Also, he and Feng Qiuyi set up a scout team. As soon as it entered the sea, the whole ship disappeared from time to time, like a ghost, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves was often heard. Plus the fifty-year deadline is coming......" He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "So grandpa, I doubt it...... I suspect he has anything to do with monsters! ”
Zhou Liang's body trembled, and then he hung his head stiffly, not daring to let anyone see his expression.
"Just these non-existent coincidences?" Zhou Shanting sneered: "Fifty years? Now it's a full year until fifty years! ”
Zhou Jiawang raised his head and said stubbornly: "But who can guarantee that the period of fifty years will be immutable?" ”
