Chapter 11: The Regent
When he came to Kyoto, Fan Li found Qin Ziyang in an apartment according to the address given to him by Ni Ziqiong. It was Wu Meiyan who opened the door, and she smiled happily when she saw Fan Li.
"Long time no see, how are you doing?" When I came to the living room, I saw Qin Ziyang sitting on the sofa with a guitar in front of him.
"It's good." Fan Li sat next to Qin Ziyang with a wry smile, and Ali sat next to Fan Li.
"Who is this?" Qin Ziyang and Wu Meiyan looked at Ali together.
"He's my assistant."
"Yes, I mixed well in the 'ant nest', and I have assistants." Qin Ziyang knocked Fan Li's shoulder. "Recently, I've been preparing for a talent show, and I'm a little busy and can't pick you up at the airport, so I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm short on time, so I'll get straight to the point. In the past two days, we have encountered very difficult problems in Xicheng. ”
"What's the problem? It's not going to be another monster coming out to make trouble. Wu Meiyan smiled and stuffed a preserved fruit into her mouth.
"You've guessed it right, a seemingly normal little civilian suddenly becomes a monster with buck teeth and sharp teeth, and the residents he bites to death have also become unbeatable walking corpses, which are extremely aggressive. A few days ago, Ni Ziqiong helped us find this person, but buried three teams of 'ant nest' soldiers, which can be described as a heavy loss. ”
"Have you checked this person's information?" Qin Ziyang threw the guitar to Wu Meiyan, and she caught it steadily and hung it on the wall. Qin Ziyang bent down to pick up the cigar box on the table, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, exhaling two streams of black mist.
"Chu Xingfeng is the owner of an online forum, called 'Lingya Liya'. This Chu Xingfeng once targeted Ni Ziqiong with remarks, and Ni Ziqiong almost lost control when performing the task for this reason. ”
"I know this forum, if you open the page, you will find that this forum has been making negative comments against me in the past few days, most of which are nonsense and add fuel to some trivial matters. Drew cheers from a group of followers. This group of people just can't work well all day long, can't find a place to vent, and deserve to be full. ”
Fan Li didn't expect Qin Ziyang to make such a comment, she didn't care at all about what Fan Li said about "heavy losses".
"That's not the point, Ziyang, Fan Li's said, the 'ant nest' paid a great price, and the three squads were all buried in, it won't be the people of the 'Demon Hunting' team, right?" Sure enough, it was the bubble gum in the team, and after Wu Meiyan finished speaking, it also caused Qin Ziyang's nervousness.
"It's not a 'demon hunter'. Now the 'ant nest' has reached the point where no one is available. They kept transferring people to the military, and my other assistant was from the special forces and was already in the hospital. She is an excellent military man who can handle the N-2014 of Yu Ning. ”
"It's really good, N-2014 is like a tiger, it's fierce but hard to control, such people are in the hospital, what kind of problems are you going to solve?" Qin Ziyang exhaled a puff of smoke at Fan Li, and the black mist temporarily blocked Fan Li's vision. This reminded him of Ye Yuning.
"Ahem, these changed monsters are extremely aggressive, I suspect that their appearance has something to do with magical energy, and I've already seen a doctor who is engaged in magical energy research. His name is Meng Xiang. ”
"Meng Xiang? Hum. Hearing this name, Qin Ziyang smiled disdainfully. He's a careerist, and we've had a group meeting together, when his realm wasn't on the magic side. It's about researching stimulants that don't have side effects, and the so-called side-effect-free ones aren't just talking. His rhetoric is easy to intrigue. ”
"With him as a researcher of magical energy, aren't you in a hurry at all?" Fan Li stared at Qin Ziyang. The smoky star-faced queen just shook her head.
"I said I wouldn't bother with the 'ant nest' anymore, I would be responsible for my family, and since Rampa had let us go, we should in turn give him space to study. We've gone from allies to enemies when it comes to magic, and I don't want to continue this boring discussion. If you give up, you don't plan to pick it up again, after all, the grass is not delicious. ”
"Then you can at least give some advice, you know more about magic than anyone else, and you must have measures to deal with it."
"Magical power...... It's a very complicated thing. You have also seen that in my hands, it is the love for nature and the establishment of emotions for animals, in the hands of Yu Ning, it is the plastic surgery machine, and in your hands, it is like an obedient little girl, how do you let me evaluate it? As for the influence of magic energy on human beings, we have done relatively few experiments back then, I only know that magic energy will definitely affect people's minds, sooner or later it is a fixed number, it depends on the person's psychological endurance and self-control. ”
"Then you say, will there be any connection between Ma Qiao and this Chu Xingfeng, I wonder if Ma Qiao and Chu Xingfeng have changed suddenly, is it that the magic energy has affected them at the same time, making them temporarily change."
"I don't understand Chu Xingfeng. As for Ma Qiao, it may be that my Nine-Tails Spell inadvertently stimulated his pursuit of art, whether it was magic that could make him like this, I didn't study it carefully, and I didn't have the time and energy, after all, it was a tragedy that none of us wanted to mention. Qin Ziyang smiled at Fan Li, and then threw the half-smoked cigar into the ashtray, through which Fan Li saw two pitch-black rainforest scorpions.
"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I'm going to train. Qin Ziyang looked towards the door, Fan Li felt that she was very indifferent, could it be because of Ali's presence? He wanted to ask further, but Qin Ziyang always had a personality charm that made you do things according to her ideas, so he nodded and said goodbye to them and walked out of Qin Ziyang's room.
The moment he walked out of the room, Fan Li felt that something was wrong, why Qin Ziyang was also very indifferent to himself, as if he was hiding something from him.
On the way to the airport, Fan Li kept wondering. He suddenly felt very lonely, and the people around him were leaving him, Lan Pa, Ni Ziqiong, and Qin Ziyang...... Do they see something bad about themselves? Losing trust in yourself? Fan Li felt that it must be torturous to think about it like this, so he lit the flame in his palm again and watched the beautiful flame swing in his fingertips.
At this moment, it was as if he heard music, it was piano music, it was Canon. The blue flames danced to the rhythm of the music, waving their arms like a cheerful dancer. Seeing this scene, Fan Li was extremely happy, and the loss and disappointment just now disappeared in an instant.
"I don't want to play music for idiots!"
A roar came from the side, and Fan Li's whole body trembled with fright, and Ali was also attracted by his strange appearance, looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong, sir?" He asked.
"You didn't hear it...... What sound? Fan Li's recollection of the music and the sudden shouting.
"No, it's been quiet." Ali looked confused.
"That's fine." Fan looked down and continued to stare at the flames, realizing that the spirit had faded. It wasn't listening to the voice of the spirit, he told himself, but only he could hear the sound that others couldn't hear, it could only come from listening to the voice of the spirit. He was conflicted, and felt a wave of sadness coming from his heart, and he couldn't help but lean his head against the glass window.
It didn't matter, he only felt a loud gurgling sound, and the scene around him changed. Ali was still driving, and there was still a stream of cars in front of him, but many crimson petals appeared around Ali, lined up in a line, dancing around him like a dragon. The vehicle in front of me also had a pair of wings, and its white wings swayed in the breeze.
Fan shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel this illusion, but found a white light flashing overhead. He looked up and saw that it was the Nine-Tails Spell Spirit, and next to the Nine-Tails Spell Spirit, there were four other paintings, but the difference in this painting was that they were as vivid as an IMAX movie, floating in front of him.
"I want to be a messenger of ideas for the gods, but why does reality always turn against me?" Another sentence appeared in Fan Li's brain, and he turned his head to look at Ali, who was still concentrating on driving.
"I live for art, and I'm angry because of art!" The voice grew louder and louder, and the five pictures in front of him suddenly disappeared, flames spread all around him, and he saw countless charred corpses standing in front of him, one by one looking down at the ground, lifeless.
"Help us...... Save us ......"
"Don't let it swallow me completely, don't let it succeed!"
The voices of countless people began to appear around him, and the noise made Fan Li's ears hurt, and he felt that he was about to lose his hearing, and then the voice in his ears disappeared like lightning and transformed into a familiar sound.
"I just want to figure out the relationship between you and the Nine-Tails Spell Spirit, I just want to give myself an explanation, I have studied for so many years, and I have been discriminated against, this time the investors have finally set their sights on me, I have to do it seamlessly!"
Isn't that grandpa's voice? Why did Grandpa's voice reach his ears? Fan Li looked around, and his strange appearance once again caught Ali's attention.
"Sir, why are you uncomfortable?" Ali asked with concern.
"I ...... I'm fine! Fan replied. I'm just a little ...... Eat and hold up. Fan Li's answer made Ali very strange, and he continued to drive, glancing at Fan Li from time to time. He knew that Fan Li's ability to control the Regent was not surprised by the blue light on the back of his hand.
"I'm sorry for my research, I'm sorry for Dashun and Wang Qing, I'm sorry for Justin's hospitality. I ruined all my life's work and pulled my grandson into this bottomless pit. I'm sorry for my son, my daughter-in-law, my father and my companions...... That nine-tailed fox is not my patron saint, nor is it the patron saint of the raccoon, but the nightmare of our Fan family...... I have failed my ancestors, I am not worthy to be called a spirit thief, take me away, take me away, let me get out of here, let me realize my last value......"
Grandpa's voice came again, Fan Li saw the black muzzle, and saw a pair of eyes full of determination, it was Qin Ziyang, with a little brightness, a little confidence and a little evil. (To be continued......)
