Volume 1 The ups and downs of life Chapter 99 The road to self-discovery
Xin Guangli said: "Because this is the secret stronghold of the Science God Sect. ”
Zhao Qiong was stunned, "How did you guess?"
Xin Guangli smiled faintly and said, "There are so many breakfast stalls along the way, there are many diners and good business, you don't stop." But he stopped in front of this stall with little business, and it would be strange if it was okay. ”
Zhao Qiong was silent for a moment and said, "If you are willing to take refuge in them, you can completely save your life." ”
"Zhao Qiong," Xin Guangli looked directly into Zhao Qiong's eyes and said, "The cunning rabbit is dead, don't you understand the truth of the lackey's cooking?"
Zhao Qiong couldn't help but tremble.
Xin Guangli shook his head helplessly, "For them, you have no use value. If you don't stop here, you're still safe. However, you have chosen to die on your own. ”
Zhao Qiong forcibly calmed down and looked left and right, except for the two of them, there was no one else at all. Even the boss who served Hu spicy soup and delivered hot buns just now is gone.
She relieved herself and said, "You don't have to scare me, I'm not scared." The people here are gone. Even if they don't run, they don't even have a third-level cultivator, how can they kill me?"
Xin Guangli pointed to the steamed buns and spicy soup in front of Zhao Qiong's eyes, "These." ”
Zhao Qiong seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "You mean, these are poisonous? Haha, what are you kidding, I, a fifth-level cultivator, am afraid of poison? Well, even if the buns and spicy soup are poisonous, why don't I feel it at all?"
Xin Guangli shook his head helplessly again and said, "You won't forget Xiao Li, right?"
Zhao Qiong's smile suddenly froze.
Xin Guangli continued: "His talent in poison can be said to be unique in a thousand, and it is the only one I have ever seen in my life. Because I have always been worried about him, for fear that one day, I will fall into his way. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort into studying his methods of making and poisoning drugs. ”
"When the steamed buns and spicy soup came up, I found the clues, they are all his masterpieces. In fact, if it weren't for the discovery of the poison in the steamed buns and Hu spicy soup, I wouldn't be 100% sure that you are an internal ghost. ”
Zhao Qiong jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted inside: "Xiao Li, you come out for me!"
Zhao Qiong shouted a few times, but there was no response.
Xin Guangli waved his hand and said, "Don't scream." You scream and cut your throat and no one responds. You better save some effort and sit down and talk. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you may wish to say them, and I will see if I can help you fulfill them. ”
Zhao Qiong's spirit suddenly collapsed, sat down, glared at Xin Guangli, and said angrily: "Why didn't you remind me?"
Xin Guangli also glared at her and said, "Why did you betray the research institute and betray Dean Wang?
Zhao Qiong's arrogance suddenly decreased by ninety. She avoided Xin Guangli's gaze and whispered, "For money." ”
"Is money that important?"
Zhao Qiong suddenly said loudly: "That's right, money is so important. I don't want to be a minion who is driven by others! I don't want to live on a meager salary! I don't want to stay in a forest full of poisonous insects! I want to live in an upscale apartment, sleep in a big soft bed, wear nice clothes, go in and out of a five-star hotel, and enjoy food, sun and sand. ”
Xin Guangli spread his hands, "It's not a sin to have ideas, but if you want to get them, you have to pay first." You don't have to pay to get it, that's definitely the wrong way. The most common evil path is the trap. ”
Zhao Qiong's face was a little embarrassed.
After a while, she suddenly grabbed Xin Guangli's hand and said eagerly: "Xiao Li is your student, you know him so well, you must have a way to save me, right? Help me, you can do whatever you want me to do." Please, save me. ”
Xin Guangli broke free of Zhao Qiong's hand and said, "The road is your choice." I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. You should still have some time, if you have something on your mind, you might as well say it, I can help you, I will definitely help. ”
Zhao Qiong's face turned gray.
Xin Guangli noticed the change in her face and said, "Sure enough, it's a gray pigeon." The power of the medicine has begun to kick in, and your complexion has begun to turn gray, and when it turns to the gray of a dove, your life will come to an end. If there's anything to say, just say it. ”
Zhao Qiong shook her head, "I don't have anything on my mind." If there is, I have only one biggest regret in this life. It's the kind of grand ball that I haven't participated in, high society. ”
Zhao Qiong's eyes began to blur, "I have fantasized countless times that I am the protagonist of the ball, dressed in costume, radiant, dancing in the center of the dance hall, everyone looks at me intently, the man is overwhelmed by me, and the woman's eyes are all undisguised envy and jealousy." ”
Xin Guangli shook his head, "Women, why do they all love vanity so much? Isn't it good to live a down-to-earth life? Why do you have to ask for extravagance, those flashy things?"
Zhao Qiong was just about to refute him, when a sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen. She couldn't help but moan.
Xin Guangli hurriedly asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Qiong's moans became even stronger.
Xin Guangli said loudly: "Who else is the inner ghost in the institute? Tell me, tell me quickly!"
Zhao Qiongqiang endured the severe pain, looked at Xin Guangli, and said laboriously: "Be careful...... Be careful...... FU......”
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Qiong was speechless in pain, and fell directly to the ground, rolling on the ground.
Xin Guangli hurriedly went over to support her, "Be careful of what?"
Zhao Qiong's eyes were already straight, and she tried to open her mouth, "FU...... FU...... Uh...... "The body suddenly went limp.
Xin Guangli hurriedly tried her snort and touched her neck artery, but there was no movement.
Xin Guangli flattened Zhao Qiong's body, reached out and closed her eyes, and said, "People die for money, and birds die for food." After a lot of hard work, he came back empty-handed, and passed away with regret. Why bother?
Xin Guangli got up and saw that there were already many onlookers around. Some of them were suspicious and had evasive eyes.
He shouted at the suspicious onlookers, "I know that you are the lackeys of the Science God Sect, go back and tell Master Lu that the Flame Beast will never fall into his hands." Let him completely die of this heart!"
After Xin Guangli finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed over like a fly towards the position of the Fourth Research Institute.
In less than ten minutes, Xin Guangli was already standing in front of the gate of the Fourth Research Institute.
Xin Guangli looked at the closed door, and an ominous premonition arose. How could it be so quiet? What happened? Did you come late? There are two eighth-level Force Grandmasters in Xijing City, and the Science God Sect has such a big courage to go to the Fourth Research Institute to do things under the nose of the eighth-level grandmaster?
Impossible, impossible. I guess I'm thinking too much.
Xin Guangli suppressed his chaotic thoughts and stepped forward to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, there was no movement. Xin Guangli couldn't help but feel anxious, and couldn't help but shout: "Is there anyone? Lao Huang, Lao Huang! Where are you dead?"
After shouting several times, Xin Guangli heard someone shouting inside, "Don't howl, it's coming." ”
Xin Guangli stopped. After a few moments, the door creaked open. Revealing an old face full of wrinkles.
"Who should I be, it's Professor Xin. The man opened his mouth and smiled, revealing two big yellow teeth.
Seeing Lao Huang, Xin Guangli calmed down and said, "Why is it so long?"
Lao Huang looked up at the sun and said, "It's not too late, it's not even six o'clock." Normally, I haven't gotten up yet. ”
Xin Guangli was stunned, but suddenly understood, because he had been so anxious that he forgot the time. He entered Xijing City early in the morning (about 5 o'clock in the morning), and it took less than an hour to come to the Fourth Research Institute. Under normal circumstances, the institute is not at work at this time.
Xin Guangli hurriedly apologized, "I was in a hurry, I rushed over as soon as it was dawn, and I forgot this point and didn't go to work." I'm sorry, Lao Huang, I disturbed your good dreams. ”
"Hehe, you're right, just now I was dreaming of myself and a beautiful girl...... Have a candlelit dinner, hehe......"
Xin Guangli pushed open the small door and went in, and said as he walked: "Then you continue to go with your beautiful girl." I went to the communication room. Dean Wang instructed me to report to him as soon as I returned. ”
"Hey-" Lao Huang stopped Xin Guangli, "Professor Xin, the communication room is locked, and Xiao Zhang won't come to work until half past eight." ”
Xin Guangli frowned, "According to the regulations, the communication room must be manned 24 hours a day. Why didn't it follow the rules?"
Lao Huang spread his hands, "I don't know this either." I'm just a janitor. ”
Xin Guangli sighed secretly, "The dean is not here, and they are too lax. If there are regulations, they are not enforced. Is there a spare key in the communications room?"
Lao Huang said: "Yes, but it's in Vice President Qian's office." ”
Xin Guangli asked, "When will Vice President Qian come to work?"
"He's usually there around eight o'clock. ”
Xin Guangli was anxious in his heart, and his face was very ugly.
Seeing this, Lao Huang comforted: "Professor Xin, don't worry. Or you can sit in my room. I'll make you a pot of tea, and you'll wait while you drink it?"
Xin Guangli shook his head and said, "No need." I'll go to the reception room. ”
"That's fine. There you go. I'll clean up the yard. ”
Xin Guangli walked straight to the reception room. Along the way, there was a huge research institute, and I didn't even see a single figure.
It was just dawn, and it was still dark in the office building.
With a "squeak", Xin Guangli pushed the door of the hall and looked inside carefully. For the practitioner, darkness is not a problem because the practitioner can see secretly. The most important thing to be careful about is the danger that lurks in the dark.
Xin Guangli confirmed that there was no abnormality before stepping in.
The reception room is on the first floor of the office, next to the foyer on the left. Enter the gate and you'll be there in a few steps. He walked to the door and reached for it.
At this time, the mutation abruptly occurred. A sharp wind broke through the air and pointed directly at the back of Xin Guangli's head. Xin Guangli only had time to raise his hand before he was hit in the back of the head and his body collapsed to the ground.
Ye Jianjian found a nearby hotel and settled Gu Xingrong first, so that she could have a good rest. Then take Wang Xiaotian through the streets and alleys, and sometimes go to the breakfast stall to buy some steamed buns, oil cakes, fritters, fire, meat boxes, etc.
Ye Zhanjian was eating, his mouth was not idle, and he enthusiastically introduced to Wang Xiaotian, "Zhao Erjia's meatloaf, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sandwiched with an omelette, is the most delicious." Sun's fritters, fried crispy, jujube red, a bite of the oil is fragrant, if it is paired with his family's white porridge, it will be even more delicious when dipped and eaten. The Qin family's meat bun has a thin skin and a large filling, and the meat is fragrant when you bite into it, which can make people swallow their tongues. The Hu family's oil swirl ......".
Wang Xiaotian nodded absentmindedly while munching on something. He felt that Ye Jianjian took him around the streets and alleys purely to buy food.
The two of them ate and walked, and unconsciously passed through most of Xijing City and came to the outside of a house deep in an alley.
Ye Zhanjian swallowed the last bite of meatloaf, touched his mouth, touched it with satisfaction, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Wang Xiaotian looked at Ye Zhanjian in wonder, not knowing why he brought himself here.
Ye Jianjian smiled slightly and said, "Don't talk for a while." Follow me. ”
After a few moments, the door opened.
Wang Xiaotian was shocked. Because he was completely unaware of the approaching man.
