In the rest room of the bathing center, Jiang Xiao held his head in his hands and lay on the sofa bed, next to his new mobile phone.

It was already the third day since he had seen Ochre.

But Jiang Xiao waited for three days for Zheyu's call, but still didn't call.

In the past three days, Jiang Xiao has not left this bathing center regardless of food and accommodation. The waiter or the manager felt strange and came to bother, and he took the money and sent it away.

In addition to waiting for Zhe Yu's call, Jiang Xiao also used the past three days to constantly figure out what kind of use the cells of purple smoke could play in him.

Those purple smoke cells usually did not gather into a clump when Jiang Xiao was not controlled, but were scattered all over Jiang Xiao's body, including the gaps in his muscles, and even in the blood of his blood vessels. But once Jiang Xiao took the initiative to give an order with his consciousness, he would quickly gather to the place where Jiang Xiao's thoughts were concentrated.

Therefore, even if there is such a cloud of purple smoke cells on his body, Jiang Xiao will not have an extra hand and a foot on his body because of this, or even a tumor, and there is no change in appearance compared with before.

Jiang Xiao has now determined that it is the small clump of cells left by Ziyan, although he doesn't know for what reason, he can act completely according to his will. Whether it is changing various forms in his hands, or releasing and evolving various creatures.

It's just that the only thing that that can evolve into that mass of cells is the creatures that exist in this world and Jiang Xiao fully understands.

In other words, Jiang Xiao can manipulate the cells left behind by Ziyan to evolve a group of ants, a group of poisonous bees, or a pigeon, or a rabbit, but he can't make them become dragons or griffons that don't exist in nature.

At the same time, because of its size, the mass of cells could not evolve into a larger species, not even if it was scaled down – like a bear the size of a rabbit.

Therefore, under such limitations, the role that the cells can play is still very limited compared to what Ziyan can do. Although in some specific cases, there may be special uses.

However, there is one thing that Jiang Xiao cares about very much.

That mass of cells...... It seems to be slowly multiplying.

Although the speed of reproduction is very slow, so slow that it is imperceptible to the naked eye, Jiang Xiao can sense its growth in his mind.

It's just that Jiang Xiao's own body doesn't seem to be affected in any way. It is as if those cells are not "parasitic" or "occupying", but only harmoniously "symbiotic" with him.

Since there would be no obstacles, Jiang Xiao just let it go, and just kept trying to hone his familiarity with cell changes, trying to evolve more and more various creatures, and assessing one by one what kind of role those creatures could play for him, whether it was in battle or in all aspects of daily life.

A kitten jumped up from the ground nimblely, landed high on Jiang Xiao's chest, tilted its head and rubbed on Jiang Xiao's chest, and called "Mimi" affectionately twice. At the same time, the phone ringing that Jiang Xiao had been waiting for for a long time finally rang.

Jiang Xiao picked up the phone, and it was really Ochre Yu's voice on the other end: "Jiang Xiao, hello." ”

"Is it solved?"

"Solved. Darkflame is dead. ”

Hearing Ochre Yu's answer, Jiang Xiao finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and gently stretched out his hand to ** the furry body of the kitten lying on his chest: "So, can I return to my original life?"

"That's right. Zhe Yu said: "I have confirmed that Dark Flame has no other comrades. No one will come to disturb your life in the future. ”

"Good. Jiang Xiao smiled and said to the other end of the phone: "Thank you, Zheyu." ”

"There's no need to thank me. Zhe Yu also smiled faintly: "I didn't do these things for you." If something like this happens within the academy, even if it's not for you, I, as an inspector, must solve it. ”

"Either way, the end result is that you helped me. Jiang Xiao smiled: "If I have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will thank you in person." But I only hope ...... Don't have that again. ”

"I understand. Zheyu's voice was faint: "Many awakened people have the same idea as you, they just want to live their own lives, and they don't want to have a relationship with other awakened people, especially our academy. Especially...... You have been caught up in the affairs of our academy, and I can completely understand that thought. I also hope that in the days to come, you will not be disturbed in any way. ”

"That would be great. Jiang Xiao hung up the phone, let out a long breath, and showed a satisfied smile.

Then, the kitten he had been gently a**, tilted his head and rubbed it in his palm, and then barked softly, and his whole body began to slowly dissolve into Jiang Xiao's palm, and soon disappeared into the invisible.

"Finally...... It's time to go home......"

......

Ochre put down the phone in her hand and looked out the window of her office. This is the top floor of the building where he and Jiang Xiao first met, and looking down from the window, he can clearly see the sunlight shining on the green court.

But unlike the bright sunshine outside, there is always a lingering haze in his heart.

Because the night after the execution of Dark Flame, he immediately sneaked into the school's computer room and rummaged carefully on the fifteenth machine.

But no matter how Zheyu looked, he searched through every drive letter and every folder in the computer, and he couldn't find the information about that seed as stated in Ziyan's last words.

Whether it's a text file with words or a picture file of a map, no matter what it is, since Ziyan asked Jiang Xiao to convey this information, it shouldn't take much effort to be able to find it easily.

If it weren't for the computer room computer in the middle school, it was a master-slave structure, and if the student's computer wanted to enter the system, it had to be turned on by the host, so Zhe Yu could simply move the No. 15 machine back to his residence and slowly find it. But in the end, he copied all the files on the computer's hard drive, and repeatedly checked them one by one on his device, but still didn't find anything.

Why can't I find it?

Why can't I find it!

When meeting Jiang Xiao that day, Zheyu did not use his abilities, so there was no way to determine whether Jiang Xiao had told him the truth.

Because ochre jade didn't dare to use it.

His rank is just a civilian, he has no rank ability, and in terms of strength and speed, he is not even as good as an awakened person of the craftsman rank, let alone a warrior. Being able to get the position of Inspector in the Academy, being able to easily defeat Dark Flame in a duel, and suppressing various other rebellions all depends on his natural ability.

But his natural ability, although extremely lethal, is also extremely weak. If one is not good, it will become a double-edged sword against itself. And the more you use it, the easier it is for people to see the flaws.

On that day, he didn't understand the details of Jiang Xiao, and naturally he didn't dare to expand his ability field - otherwise, no matter the final result, whether it was his own death or Jiang Xiao's death, it would be an unacceptable consequence.

But now, everything seems to have fallen into a difficult situation......

Ochre Yu stretched out his palm and pressed it against the glass window in front of him, silent in his heart.

To get that seed...... Is it really that hard?

......

Jiang Xiao walked out of a mobile business hall and sighed.

Three days ago, after he had withdrawn all the four bank cards on his body for the day, he crumpled them all into the trash can to avoid the next investigation. Now that everything is calm, it is a hassle to make up for it.

In addition, there are also discarded calling cards and mobile phones, which must be reissued and repurchased - in this society, changing mobile phone numbers is a very troublesome thing, and it is impossible for him to continue to use the copycat machine bought by the waiter.

The car that was lost on the side of the road at that time was also dragged back by the traffic police, and it had to go through the formalities to pay a fine and deduct points before it could be recovered.

It took a whole day, and now it's all done. Jiang Xiao planned to go home first, take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep. Eliminate all the mental tension of the past few days.

During the three days he lived in the bathing center, although there was no substantial disturbance, Jiang Xiao's spirit was tense all the time.

But just as Jiang Xiao started the car, his mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that the screen showed that it was the agent Zhao Tianyu, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Jiang Xiao! Where have you been in the past few days? I haven't seen anyone dead or dead, how can you let me work for you as an agent! Do you know how many announcements you have released in the past three days? Do you know how many times I have called you?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Tianyu scolded him angrily. The woman was twenty-six years old, but she had never restrained her fiery temper. And her personal relationship with Jiang Xiao also made her never need to control her emotions in front of Jiang Xiao.

"Okay, okay, I know......" Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly: "I...... Something happened. Just solved. It's inconvenient to show up for the past three days, and my phone has been thrown away. ”

"What's going on? What can happen to you? I know better than anyone how much money you've made in the past few years, and you won't be forced to the point of hiding debts!" Zhao Tianyu heard Jiang Xiao say that he had an accident, and his originally angry tone suddenly eased a lot, but he was still a little suspicious: "I remember that you don't have any other interests besides drinking and picking up girls, at least you don't gamble." ”

"If it's really about money, that's fine. Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "In short, there is no way to explain it to you, so ...... Don't ask any more questions......"

“...... Really, sister, I also have a bit of connections in the rivers and lakes. If you are threatened, or if you have any other trouble, just let me know. Zhao Tianyu was silent for a moment, and his tone became calm: "Jiang Xiao, we have made an agreement. I'm not going to get into any of the secrets of your magic show, but you can't hide anything else. ”

"When did we have such an agreement?" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "This is my private life, okay......

"Not when it affects work. Where are you now?" Zhao Tianyu simply interrupted Jiang Xiao's words.

"Outside, go home and sleep right away. Jiang Xiao replied helplessly.

"Don't sleep. See you at home. Zhao Tianyu dropped a sentence and hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Xiao looked at the hung up mobile phone in his hand, let out a long sigh helplessly, threw it into the passenger seat, and then started the car and drove in the direction of home.

He didn't fight back to argue with Zhao Tianyu, because he knew that for this woman, arguing was useless.
