At the table, Ji Lin looked at Gao Qian: "Gao Qian, are you very familiar with this Gui Xiaoqian?"

Gao Qian didn't know how to describe his relationship with Gui Xiaoqian, was he familiar? He found that he didn't know her at all, but if he didn't know her, it was estimated that few people present would believe it.

"I've had some dealings. Gao Qian replied in a muffled voice.

Ji Lin looked at Gao Qian's expression and nodded slightly: "That's good." ”

"What's that?"

Ji Lin looked around at the diners around him, and lowered his voice to Gao Qian: "Showing power that does not belong to ordinary people in front of the public, she has caused a lot of trouble this time." It is likely that within a few days, the adjudication office will send someone to intervene. ”

Gao Qian frowned: "But Gui Xiaoqian is not a scavenger. ”

"I don't think she's a child of divine blood, and I suspect she's probably a witch's blood. Ji Lin said in a deep voice, "The Inquisition's Office has always been very polite to the Son of Demon Blood. And this Gui Xiaoqian is so flamboyant this time, I'm afraid it ......"

"What will the ruling institute do with her?" Gao Qian's heart unconsciously raised.

"Probably, get rid of it. Ji Lin sighed, "According to the Witch Ban, any action that would expose the existence of the Demon Blood Child will be severely punished. This Gui Xiaoqian really wanted to be famous, and she didn't even want her life. ”

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala on the big screen resumed live broadcasting, but apparently the live broadcast hall has been replaced by another one. Now the stage is performing lively singing and dancing, and the audience below also looks jubilant. It looks as if everything is back to normal.

In the hall, diners also changed the topic while eating and drinking. But most of their conversation focused on the abruptly interrupted live TV broadcast, rather than the thrilling magic show. It seems that the broadcast accident at the highest level of the organization can arouse the conversation of diners even more.

Sherlock glanced at the diners around him and shook his head slightly: "Gui Xiaoqian's affinity ability can only affect the scene, and at best expand to the surrounding area of the studio hall. I really don't know what she thinks, does she think that she can influence the national audience by appearing on the live show with the largest number of viewers in the world?"

Gao Qian squeezed the mobile phone in his hand hard, should he call? Tell her that the perverted inquisition that even the scavengers talk about it is likely to have its sights on her.

Or maybe he should actually ask Gui Xiaoqian why she did this? Ask her if she is crazy, ask her if she wants to be famous and have a bad brain, and whether she has considered the consequences before doing this shocking thing.

However, at this moment, the high diver's mobile phone vibrate. He stared at the caller's name displayed on the screen and pressed the answer button heavily.

"High Div, did you see that?" the voice on the other end of the line gasped slightly. The whistling wind made the mobile phone microphone constantly make a plosive sound, mixed with Gui Xiaoqian's laughter under extreme excitement, and that kind of sound could easily make people misunderstand that Gui Xiaoqian might be doing something unspeakable with someone at the moment.

Gao Qian held his phone tightly and did not answer.

"I know you saw it," Gui Xiaoqian said intermittently in laughter, "You must have seen it, surprised?"

"If that's what you want, I'm not alone. Gao Qian replied coldly.

"Haha, of course, this is the biggest stage on the planet, and there is no live channel that can compare to its popularity. But I got it, haha......"

It's popularity again, Gui Xiaoqian is really crazy for popularity.

Gao Qian took a deep breath: "Xiaoqian, do you really know what you're doing? Have you ever thought about what kind of consequences you might bring if you show your abilities in front of the public? Let's not talk about whether the popularity you have gained will last long, just talk about the trouble you caused this time......

"What's the trouble?" Gui Xiaoqian still said in the same chuckling tone, "I don't care, Gao Qian, you don't understand ...... at all"

"The one you don't understand is you!" Gao Qian interrupted Gui Xiaoqian, "Gui Xiaoqian, maybe I really don't understand you, maybe I really don't understand what your ability is, but I understand at least one thing." That is, the world is governed by rules, and any behavior that breaks the rules will be punished. I'm not going to try to break the rules until I don't have the strength to fight them. And you, Gui Xiaoqian, your problem is that you are so ignorant that you don't even know what the rules are!"

"But the rules have been broken!" Gui Xiaoqian retorted sharply, "Fate has been trampled underfoot!"

"Hell, is it just because you heard a little bit of nonsense from Longer that you did this crazy thing?"

"No, I didn't hear it from Longe......" Gui Xiaoqian slowed down her tone and said in an almost soft voice, "Gao Qian, you think so because you still don't understand my true strength, and I don't blame you." Do you think that everything that happened on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala before was all? Haha, Gao Qian, you underestimated me too much. ”

"My power is unmatched. Xiao Qian said word by word into the microphone, and the roaring wind covered the rest of Gui Xiaoqian's voice. Gao Qian frowned: "What did you say?"

"See?" Gui Xiaoqian said softly.

"What......" Before Gao Qian's words fell, the hall suddenly fell into darkness, and then the emergency lights in the corners of the walls lit up.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

In the dim light, diners asked at a loss.

Gao Qian looked around in disbelief. Through the glass window of the hotel, he saw that the riverside that should be bustling with lights was pitch black, and even the cruise ship parked in the center of the river and decorated with colorful colors was also pitch black.

Wouldn't it?

"Hey, why is my phone turned off?" exclaimed one diner.

"Mine too! My phone is out of battery, I just filled it before I came!"

Ji Lin and others also checked their mobile phones, and sure enough, they were also turned off. Everyone at the table stared at the high diver, and in the dim light, the screen of the high diver's mobile phone was emitting a striking fluorescence.

Gao Qian hurriedly sat down and bent down coveredly. Fortunately, by this time, the manager had already come to reassure the diners, and promised that because of the inconvenience caused by the sudden power outage, everyone would be given a 10% discount at the checkout. and quickly asked the waiter to set up the kind of dining candle that will only be used on Valentine's Day.

The diners in the hall calmed down, and no one noticed the abnormality on the high diving side.

Ji Lin quickly glanced around and lowered his voice: "High Diving, what's going on?"

Gao Qian shook his head slightly at Ji Lin.

At this time, Gui Xiaoqian's voice came from the mobile phone: "Gao Qian, now you understand." ”

"Power outage? power outage was caused by you?" Gao Qian suppressed his anger, "Gui Xiaoqian, do you know how much trouble you will cause by doing this? What about the hospital? What about those patients who are undergoing surgery? How many vehicles will be involved in car accidents if there is suddenly no traffic lights and street lights...... Gui Xiaoqian, restore the power immediately, did you hear that!"

"Trouble? I don't care, I can do more, high diving, I'm better than anyone else, do you understand?" Gui Xiaoqian gasped, not knowing if it was because of excitement or tiredness.

Gao Qian gritted his teeth: "Gui Xiaoqian, restore the power, immediately!"

Gui Xiaoqian snorted softly, and at that moment, the stopped machine roared again, the submarine sunk on the bottom of the sea, the propeller stirred up countless mud and sand, the lights in the engine room lit up in turn, the land of Shenzhou outside the porthole was like stars falling from the sky, the electronic spotlights in the discotheque flashed dazzlingly, and the frightened crowd hugged each other and cheered......

"High Diver, the rules have been broken, fate has been trampled underfoot, a new era has begun, you wait and see. Gui Xiaoqian hung up the communication.

Gao Qian silently put down his phone.

The people who looked at him with bated breath at the table hurriedly asked, "How is it? Gao Qian, what's going on? Was the power outage just now really caused by Gui Xiaoqian? What else did she say?"

Gao Qian spoke with a heavy heart: "She said that a new era has begun. ”

"What do you mean? What new era?" Wang Dali said inexplicably, "She probably wants to talk about the era of magicians, right?"

Gao Qian looked at Wang Dali thoughtfully.

"I didn't say the wrong thing, right?" Wang Dali said with some uneasiness, "I'm just guessing randomly, if I say something wrong, you can just ignore it." ”

"I think there may really be such a possibility," Jiang Shengdao, "After all, Gui Xiaoqian will not belong to the power of ordinary people, and it will be displayed in front of the public on the biggest stage, and it will be difficult for the ruling firm to enforce the ban on motorcycles in the future." What do you say, high diving?"

Gao Qian didn't answer, but looked at Ji Lin: "When will the adjudication office intervene at the earliest?"

Ji Lin sighed: "I think they have already set off." ”

*

The nationwide blackout on Chinese New Year's Eve, the official version is that the outbreak of sunspots just affected China's power system. However, because of the arduous efforts of our scientific researchers, working overtime, and daring to fight, they quickly overcame this technical problem, so the power outage, which should have been a catastrophe, lasted less than a minute, and all important departments had backup power, so it did not cause any major economic losses.

However, in this world, there is always a set of official rhetoric and a set of folk rhetoric.

The most noisy rumor in the past two days is that aliens are attacking Earth.

Of course, there are also some sects that take the opportunity to shout that the end is coming and recruit disciples.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Gao Qian and Lin Qian returned to their home, while several others followed Ji Lin back to the recruitment office. Ji Lin said that if there is nothing special, Gao Qian and Lin Qian can stay at home until the fifth day of the new year, and then return to the recruitment office after the New Year's Festival.

At this moment, in Gao Qian's simple rental apartment, Gao Qian was sitting on the sofa, staring at the wall-mounted TV on the wall with a gloomy face. Lin Qian scrubbed the dishes and chopsticks lightly in the kitchen, glancing at the screen from time to time.

The announcer's excited voice came over the TV:

"It's incredible, audience, please see, since the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the big trees that have grown on the stage are still flourishing to this day. I could even smell the fresh aromas in the air, and it was as if I was in a primeval forest. We gathered the opinions of the audience and decided to name this tree the Tree of Life, and use this once the most important studio hall of our TV station as a warm house!"

At this time, a staff member handed a note to the female anchor whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, and the female anchor took a look at it and said in a tearful voice: "Audience, the tree of life is growing rapidly at a rate of nearly one centimeter per day, which means that on the next Chinese New Year's Eve, this tree of life will grow beyond the ceiling of our studio hall, which is incredible, this is simply a miracle!"

High Diving let out a gloomy snort.

Lin Qian glanced at him cautiously: "Gao Di, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Wait a minute, let's see what else they have to do. Gao Qian replied staring at the TV.

The female anchor on TV really lived up to the "expectations" of Gao Qian, she took another note, and said in a tearful voice: "Audience friends, report a good news to everyone! The long-awaited live broadcast channel of the Tree of Life has finally been approved! At the latest, two hours later, the audience and friends can log in to the website at the bottom of the screen to watch the growth of the Tree of Life in real time, and the live broadcast will be broadcast in a 7 times 24 hours uninterrupted manner, all angles, multiple directions, and comprehensive live broadcast! Viewers who are not convenient for Internet access can watch this live channel through the simplest ordinary TV antenna, and even viewers in remote mountainous areas can watch the growth of the tree of life effortlessly!"

"Snap" The remote control in the hand of the high diver broke in two.

"Gao Qian, are you okay?" Lin Qian hurriedly came over to check if Gao Qian's hand was injured.

"These idiots. Gao Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't there anyone to stop them?"

"Looking at the situation, that tree also inherited Gui Xiaoqian's affinity ability, you can see the excited demeanor of the female anchor, which is clearly the same as the audience's reaction when Gui Xiaoqian performed live. Lin Qian gently held Gao Qian's hand, "Gao Qian, you said that Gui Xiaoqian left this tree here, what do you want to do?"

"What else can I do?" Gao Qian took a deep breath, "From the first day I met Gui Xiaoqian, she kept talking about popularity, I always thought that she just wanted to be famous, or greedy for money, until that day, I didn't know that her strength came from popularity." ”

"You're saying that this tree can give her popularity?"

"It depends on how it should be," Gao Wei said solemnly, glancing at the lush tree on the screen, "If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have used her abilities to broadcast the Tree of Life live." ”

"Then what should we do? What will happen to her if she is allowed to absorb popularity all the time?" Lin Qian held Gao Qian's hand, "Gao Qian, what else did she say on the phone that day?"
