XLII
What kind of life is worse without the internet?
The simple answer is that there is no electricity.
When the battery of the mobile phone bottomed out and all the electronic devices in the villa could not be used, Bai Yiquan felt that he could only nest in the sofa and get moldy, and he was still hungry and moldy. I don't know what's going on with that damn gift, I haven't been delivering sandwiches for the past two days.
Ani doesn't care, eating those non-nutritious snacks with relish, for this little girl, the potato chips and biscuits spicy strips in the future are the most delicious food. But for Bai Yiquan, those are just junk food, the kind that wants to vomit after eating too much.
Just then, the phone vibrated suddenly, he turned on the screen, and a brief message popped up.
"Dear Miss Vivian, Due to a malfunction in the college's electrical system, it will be overhauled from early this morning to noon tomorrow, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Sincere greetings from Maggie. ”
Bai Yiquan thought for a while and asked, "Who is Maggie?"
Ani shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Bai Yiquan shrugged his shoulders, he didn't expect that the power system of the academy really had an accident, it seems that in terms of technology alone, the Divine Descent has not surpassed the civilization of later generations. It's like its own community, with two power overhauls in three days.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Bai Yiquan thought it was a gift to give a sandwich, so he immediately bounced up from the sofa and went straight to the door, and subconsciously lowered his head after opening the door, ready to complain to that little body. But what caught my eye was not the small gray body and the iconic hat and barrel, but a white skirt, and a pair of slender legs wrapped around the skirt.
"Burn, Burn Sakura?"
Sakura had a faint smile on her face, "What, are you upset to see me?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Yiquan immediately took a step back, "Welcome, welcome!"
Sakura didn't come in immediately, but turned her eyes to Ani in the living room, and asked with a smile, "Ani, can I come in?"
Ani nodded, but didn't speak, eating the chips to herself. Seeing this, Bai Yiquan sighed silently in his heart, thinking that she was really a girl who didn't know how to be polite. Or are pretty girls hostile to each other?
Hey, I'm thinking about something again.
The scorching cherry blossoms did not come empty-handed, but carried a bag of ingredients, which was about the same amount as He Xinxin brought him last time. She raised the plastic bag and weighed it, and said, "There is no electricity today, thinking that it will be a little difficult for you to eat, and Ye Zhifan said that you have decided to return to your own world, this can be regarded as my last gift to my junior brother as a senior sister." ”
Although Sakura's words were said to Bai Yiquan, they were completely listened to by Ani. Ani ate the chips with a blank face, but she didn't notice that there were no chips in the bag, she just scratched and put the air in her mouth.
However, this scene was captured by Sakura. She smiled slightly, and she probably understood something in her heart. It's just that Bai Yiquan didn't feel anything, and while muttering about the righteousness of his senior sister in his mouth, he took the ingredients from the scorching cherry blossoms.
"I'm full. ”
Ani put down the bag and turned to go upstairs. Bai Yiquan looked at her back suspiciously, thinking to himself how could this foodie be full after eating a bag of potato chips?
......
"Don't tell me that the pile of black charcoal under the table is a corpse. The crow looked at the pile of black charcoal under the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Why are there no bones left?"
"It's a fire godborn. Xiaoxue said.
"Anyone can tell that anything but fire can turn a good godborn into a pile of coke. The crow covered her nose with a silk scarf, "Hell, I suspect that the breath I just inhaled is the corpse of that unlucky guy." ”
Ye Zhifan didn't pay attention to the two of them, but squatted down, grabbed some ash particles and rubbed them gently on his fingertips, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Boss, have you come to any conclusions?" asked Xiaoxue.
"It's all like this, what conclusions can you make?" the crow shrugged, "The murderer is a fire god, and Bacheng is from this village, and he has some trouble with this shopkeeper, and he killed him if he lost it." We just need to gather the rest of the gods in this village who have fire-based abilities and check them out one by one?"
Xiaoxue pursed her lips, wanting to veto the crow, but she didn't know what to say, and subconsciously she thought that what the crow said was right. The village is called Moore Village, and it has almost the same history as the third, and in a sense, it is also part of the third. The village of Mor was built between the [THIRD] academy district and the space-time site, which can be said to be the outpost of the [THIRD]. LIKE THE [THIRD] ACADEMY DISTRICT, THE GODBORNS WHO ENTER HERE ARE SUBJECT TO STRICT SCREENING, AND AT NIGHT, EVEN THE TIME TRAIN IS FORBIDDEN TO APPROACH THE VILLAGE OF MORE.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the murderer mentioned by the crow came from within the village of Moore.
But Ye Zhifan thinks that things are not so simple.
"This shopkeeper is also a fire god. Ye Zhifan spoke slowly.
Crow and Xiaoxue were stunned.
"Although his strength is not strong, his resistance to flames is far beyond that of ordinary gods. Ye Zhifan said, "However, he was still killed by the most familiar power, and the most important thing is that he was killed in an instant, so he did not alarm the other guests of this hotel." ”
Crow and Xiaoxue glanced at each other, and their expressions became serious. A fire-type god-descendant is killed by another fire-type god-born, and it is killed instantly, which means that the latter's ability is at least several times higher than the former.
That's the kind of person who is one of the best in the college district.
At this time, Xiaoxue thought of something and asked, "If it's Senior Sister Burning Sakura, can you do it?"
Ye Zhifan thought for a moment and shook his head: "Although Sakura is the most powerful fire-type god-descendant in the academy in the past ten years, she is not good at fighting, and it is unlikely that she can kill the rest of the fire-type god-descendants in an instant. ”
"If Sister Sakura can't do it, no one in the whole [THIRD] will be able to do it. The raven asked, "Then what should we do, isn't the murderer from the small world?"
"The answer is up to us to find out. Ye Zhifan got up, "From now on, don't leave me, let's go around the village." ”
The two nodded, and just as they were about to leave the hotel, Ye Zhifan's mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and he glanced down and found that it was Maggie informing the college district that the power would be cut off for a day. Seeing this news, he felt a little uneasy, unlike these second-year students, as the elite of the second group, he knew very well what "power outage" meant.
Means that the Aegis system cannot be activated.
Why at this time?
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the academy, the setting sun dyeing the sky bright red, like a blood-stained curtain, and he could smell the sticky smell through the wind and clouds.
