XVIII. Keys and Locks
Watching He Xinxin go offline, Bai Yiquan felt a little lost. In the past few days, only He Xinxin has said so much to herself, of course, except for the cat, the rest of the people, whether it is Ye Zhifan or Sakura, it seems that there are some things hidden from them, of course, it may be their own delusion. But it is true that only He Xinxin clearly told him what he should do and told him his current situation.
Obviously, Ani didn't like him and didn't want him to stay, not because Ani hated him so much, but simply because there was once someone who had a deep place in the girl's heart. And what he wants to do is to replace that person's place in Ani's heart, and that person is a powerful god who saved Ani's life, according to He Xinxin, a man who is almost perfect.
Well, I have to "compete for favor" with such a person.
The egg hurts, and it's really purgatory-level difficulty.
......
"Bai Yiquan?" The head teacher raised his head from the mountain of test papers and looked at the visiting middle-aged man with a puzzled expression, "I dropped out of school a week ago, and it seems that I was admitted to a foreign university, so I don't have to take the college entrance examination like other students, who are you?"
The homeroom teacher's words caught the attention of the rest of the teachers in the office, and they all turned their eyes to it. There is no way to do it, after all, it is rare for someone to wear a trench coat that can wrap the whole body in the heat of June, and a high hat, as if others will not notice him.
"You, are you really not hot?" the head teacher couldn't help but ask.
"Nope. The middle-aged man shook his head, "Compared to this, I want to know what college he was admitted to." ”
"What academy are you asking? The head teacher touched the hand, frowned and thought for a long time, "Strange, I can't remember a little, it seems to be a secondary school in which country?
"Not really. The Chinese teacher on the side reminded, "How do I remember that it's Canadian?"
"Canada?" asked the homeroom teacher, "do you remember the name of the college?"
The Chinese teacher also shook his head: "I don't remember very well, but the day Bai Yiquan left seemed to be quite grand, and the principal personally sent him away." ”
"Is that so?" the head teacher was stunned, "why don't I have any impression?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Since that's the case, then sorry to bother, take your leave." ”
He turned and walked away.
"But, sir, you haven't told me where you came from. ”
The middle-aged man paused: "You can understand that I am from another university that wants to admit him. ”
With that, he walked out of the office, leaving behind a group of teachers who were at a loss. Bai Yiquan's head teacher scratched his head, always felt an indescribable weirdness, he muttered: "Bai Yiquan's grades are so good? So many colleges and universities want to bypass the college entrance examination and directly admit him? It doesn't make sense, why don't I have any impression of him, which college admitted him, I shouldn't forget it." ”
He said as he flipped through the drawer. In the drawer was a stack of corrected test papers, the results of the first mock exam a month ago. The head teacher remembered something, and immediately took out the stack of test papers and began to rummage through Bai Yiquan's test papers.
A minute later, he found Bai Yiquan's name, and after pulling out the test paper, the head teacher was stunned. I saw that it read: "Subject: Science Comprehensive Name: Bai Yiquan Score: 43".
......
The middle-aged man who left the office still attracted the attention of a large number of students. The students in shorts and short skirts looked at the middle-aged man with a look of "caring for the mentally retarded", but he didn't care at all, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
After a brief delay, a male voice came out of the microphone.
"How's it going? Did you find the lock?"
"No, he's not here anymore. The middle-aged man whispered, "His teacher said that he was admitted to a foreign college a week ago. ”
"Oh, what academy?"
"His teachers couldn't speak clearly, some said in the United States, some said in Canada. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where are these two places?"
"On the other side of the planet, two different countries. The man chuckled, "Interesting." ”
"What?"
"If he is really admitted to a foreign college, as his teacher, he should not forget so many things in just one week. As far as I know, if that's the case, you should see his name right in front of the school. ”
The middle-aged man happened to walk in front of the school gate, and he noticed a red sign at the school gate. He walked in and found it written:
"Congratulations to the art students of our school: Liu Linghong, Li Changpeng, Chen Si'an and other students for passing the art examination. ”
"Congratulations to Zhang Ergou, a student in the fifth class of our senior high school, who scored a total of 666 in the first mock test, ranking eighth in the city. ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I see. ”
"Why, do you see anything interesting?"
"The people of this world like to put glory on paper and put it in the most conspicuous place to tell everyone. The middle-aged man said, "If [Suo] is really admitted to a university in another country, is the honor much higher than these people?"
"Much higher. The guy over there laughed, "So you found his name?"
"Nope. ”
"yes, that's obviously counterintuitive. So, the answer is already on the horizon. ”
"[Lock] was taken away by [THIRD]. ”
"That's right, we're still a step too late. The man sighed softly, "Judging from the reactions of those teachers, their memories of Bai Yiquan are already a little confused, obviously the sequelae of being forcibly modified by a certain god descendant with his ability. It's not time for school to start yet, so [THIRD] can't wait?"
"You mean they know about [the lock]?"
There was silence for a long time before he slowly spoke: "No, they have no reason to know. This is a secret that belongs to us, and no more than five people know it, and even [THIRD] cannot deduce it for no reason. I think the reason why they took the lock away was probably for some other reason, and it was eighty percent related to that man. ”
"That, man?" said the middle-aged man's eyes with a fear that could not be concealed, "Isn't he already dead?"
"yes, I saw with my own eyes that he couldn't have survived. "But who can really see through him? It is true that he is dead, but certainly not worthless." ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and sighed heavily: "You are right. So what do we do now? The lock is in their hands, and the keys are in our hands. If you can't put together the lock and the key at the same time, then everything is meaningless. ”
"yes, you're right. The man's tone suddenly relaxed, "In that case, let's give them the key." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and then he was shocked: "What did you say?"
"Do you need me to repeat the [Key] to [Lock]'s side?"
"No, no, no, you can think that? [The key] was something we worked so hard to get—"
"If the Key is not by the Lock's side, even if it is a powerful weapon in its own right, it is meaningless. BESIDES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE RELEASED AFTER UNLOCKING THE [KEY]?" THE MAN SAID WORD BY WORD, "THAT IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL AND NEITHER THE [THIRD], THE WRATH OF THE HEAVENS. ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, knowing that the other party's words were difficult to disobey, so he reluctantly accepted his statement: "Then what should I do now?"
"Have a good holiday. The other party's tone relaxed again, "Just experience what the new world of raising [Lock] and that man at the same time is like." ”
