"Do you really want me to accompany you to save the cat?" asked Chen Rui curiously.

"Of course. Don't you have a lot of strength, and the strength of more than 300 catties can't be fake, right?" Alice replied very simply.

"No, I mean you can open the basement door with your power. Why did you ask me to come?" asked Chenrui.

Alice glared at Chenrui, "That door is an iron door, anti-theft." How can I open it, even if I can open it, am I a girl suitable for doing such violent things, it will damage my ladylike image, understand?"

Chen Rui is silent, and there is really nothing to say to this kind of eldest lady.

The two of them soon came to the basement door of the cadet activity building. In front of them was a pitch-black iron door, mottled with rust and old-fashioned patterns that spoke of its antiquity and dilapidation.

"Are you sure Mrs. Lucy's cat is in there?" asked Chenrui.

"Well, that little thing is naughty, jumping up and down after coming here. I saw it burrow in. Then the iron door was magically closed. Maybe it's the door that the cat pushed inside. Alice said.

"Then get out of the way. I'm going to do my job. Chen Rui said.

Alice took a few steps back, although with her cultivation she would definitely not be hurt by this, it was also very distressing if she got her clothes dirty.

Chen Rui crossed his hands and spun, this time he didn't perform the "egg shelling technique" first. When he was testing just now, he found that his cultivation had improved a little, and he could perform the "Vajra Roar" even if he didn't rely on the "Egg Shelling Technique".

There was a loud "bang", and the iron gate fell.

"Wow, you're amazing. Alice said happily.

"Jack, Jack, where are you, get out of here. No sooner had the door fallen, and before the dust had cleared, Alice had already walked in.

Chen Rui followed, he found that there was a black hole inside, because the light could only shine through the gate, so it was impossible to see things two meters away from the gate.

Chen Rui took out a box of matches from his arms and polished one. The basement was a mess of things, including Kaizi nails that had long been eliminated, tables that were about to fall apart after being eaten by termites, and books scattered on the floor.

"Jack, Jack, where are you?" Alice saw that the ancient Persian cat was not in the doorway, so she continued to walk deeper.

There was a groove in the wall next to Chenrui, and there was a half-cut white candle in it. He walked over and lit the candle. The basement brightened up in an instant.

The basement is deep, with a slope leading downward. On the walls on either side of the slope there are recesses every three meters, in which are white candles that have not been burned.

"Jack, Jack. Alice walked down the slope. The floor gradually became slippery, and a drop of dew oozed from the walls.

"Shall we go down there? It's already deep. Chen Rui reminded from the side.

"Well, we've got to find the cat. Alice said firmly.

"Meow ......" a cat meow came from not far away. Alice quickened her pace, and Chenrui followed closely behind her.

"Jack, come here. Alice saw the ancient Persian cat shivering in a small corner. She walked over to the cat with open arms.

Jack seemed to have seen half of the savior, and with a terrible cry of "meow", one jumped up and jumped onto Alice's arm.

Alice stroked Jack's long, thin white hair with her hand, and comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister takes you out. ”

Jack seemed to understand Alice's language, and lay quietly in her arms.

"Let's get out of here. I always felt that something wasn't quite right. Chen Rui felt his heart beat hard. He noticed that the cross on his chest began to tremble for some reason.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from underground. The whole basement was shaking.

"Oh no, the demon has awakened. Alice said as she ran along the slope she had come, followed by Chenrui. Soon the two of them rushed out of the basement.

Alice gasped for breath and pointed to the iron door in the basement, "Hurry up and close this door." ”

Chen Rui didn't know what was underneath, he instinctively obeyed Alice's arrangement, and closed the security door that he opened again.

Alice looked very nervous, gasping for air, her chest heaving. She patted her chest, calmed down a little, and then said to Chen Rui seriously, "You can't talk about today's things, do you know?"

Chen Rui hurriedly said, "I know, I know." ”

"Well, little brother should be well-behaved and listen to my sister. This thing is your reward for the day. Alice Instructor Li truthfully handed her capsule to Chenrui.

"No, I don't. If you hadn't come today, there's a good chance I'd have hung up. I guess there's an ice circle on that tester, aimed at me. So I should thank you," Chen Rui said.

"Well, you're not stupid. But you're still in possession of this capsule. Although you have a lot of strength now, it mainly depends on the amplification of the Xuan Qi Gong method. Since you have only recently learned to use Xuan Qi, you have missed the best age to use Xuan Qi to refine your body. When you refine your body now, the bones and flesh that have been formed will be damaged by the Xuan Qi that is full of your body, and this Qi and Blood Capsule has a certain effect on this kind of damage. Alice insisted that Chenrui take it.

Chen Rui saw that Alice insisted, and if he shirked it, he would be outdone, so he put the qi and blood capsule in his pocket.

"What kind of exercises have you been using for the past few days? Alice asked.

"It's called 'King Kong Roar'. "Chen Rui didn't hide anything, he used it all, and there was no point in hiding the name of the exercise.

"Oh. I see that before you used this exercise, you also inspired a technique, what is that for?" Alice inquired, and that was what she really cared about.

"Well...... This is what Grandma Bess taught me, it's called 'egg shelling'. She said it would speed up the stamping. Chen Rui didn't dare to tell Grandpa Carter, so he said that Grandma Beth taught him. Anyway, Grandma Bess passed away, so you can say anything.

"Oh. 'Egg shelling'? ”

Grandma Bess said that she originally used to peel eggshells when she was making cakes. Chen Rui explained, although he also thought the name was very peculiar, but since Grandpa Carter said so, it was not easy for him to change this **.

"Can you teach me this technique?" asked Alice.

"En......" Chen Rui hesitated, Grandpa Carter just handed it over to him, and didn't tell him that he could give it to someone else.

"I won't let you teach me in vain. I'll pay you well. How about I give you a five-liter bottle of White Forehead Hanging Crystal Tiger Bone Shower Gel? The most important thing for you now is to use Xuan Qi to refine your physique and improve the level of your muscles, bones and skin. You've only recently learned to use Xuan Qi, so you're lagging behind in this area. I'll give you this white-fronted hanging crystal tiger bone bath gel and body refining technique 'Yijin Sutra' just right for your current cultivation. Alice didn't wait for Chenrui to answer, so she preemptively said.

Chen Rui didn't expect Alice to be so generous, the white forehead hanging crystal tiger bone bath liquid is soaked with white forehead hanging crystal tiger bones, in addition to adding almond flowers, notoginseng, white peony and other multi-flavored ancient Huazhou plant medicine. Long-term use can improve microcirculation in the body, enhance bone density and flexibility of muscles and veins, and the skin will become smooth and elastic. Therefore, in addition to martial arts practitioners who like to use it, many young girls also often use it as a skin care boutique. The five-liter bottle of white-fronted hanging crystal tiger bone bath is worth about eight Pope's golden shields. Coupled with that set of 'Yijin Sutra' exercises, it is worth at least twenty Pope Golden Shields.

"Good. I promise you, but you have to give me the exercises and the bath gel first. I'll teach you to cultivate again. Chen Rui thought to himself, although Grandpa Carter didn't tell him that he could teach others, he didn't say that he couldn't teach it. And Chen Rui thinks that although Grandpa Carter is strong in kung fu, he seems to have a problem with his mind, and he himself said that there are many things that he can't remember, so it's better to make his own ideas in terms of interpersonal communication.

What's more, Alice is so beautiful, Chen Rui is really embarrassed to refuse her.

"No problem, I'll contact you when I'm ready. Alice said happily, "Jack, let's go." If we don't go back, Mrs. Lucy will have to worry about us. Come and say goodbye to Chenrui, he saved you today. ”

Alice lifted Jack's little paw up and asked Chenrui to shake it. This means friendly. Chen Rui looked at the ancient Persian cat fat and cute, so he leaned in.

Unexpectedly, this ancient Persian cat suddenly 'meowed', and grabbed three blood marks on the back of Chenrui's hand with one claw.

"Jack, why are you like this. Alice said angrily, "I'm sorry. Today he seems to be a little abnormal, and he is usually very well-behaved. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Then we'll see you again. Chen Rui said embarrassedly.

To the south of the student dormitory is the faculty quarters. The residential area is surrounded by a forest belt more than 10 meters wide, and tall angiosperms are planted with 'aspen). When the trees reach adulthood, they are 30 meters tall, and the 10-meter 'aspen' forest belt is like a thick wall, blocking the wind, sand and haze. So in the faculty building, the air is quite fresh, and the sun in the sky is much brighter.

In the southeast corner of the faculty residence, there is a small courtyard consisting of single-family villas, which is where the archbishop, bishop, chief council member, and deputy council member of Tzu Chi Hall live. One of the villas is more than ten meters high, divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower, and there is an attic above the upper floor. The exterior walls of this villa are all covered with white marble veneer, the golden roof and a huge fountain at the entrance show that it is unique. This is the residence of Cardinal Guderian of Tzu Chi Church.

"Meet the Bishop. Alice fell to her knees on one leg and bowed her head respectfully.

"Get up, my child. How's it going?" said Guderian, dressed in a simple and ornate clergyman's robe, sitting high in his chair made of white oak. The chair has a high back, intricate carved patterns, and is trimmed with gold.

"It's all done according to your wishes. His blood has been sent to Laboratory No. 1 for testing, and the results will be available tomorrow. Alice replied.

"Yes, that's good. For a short time, you stared at him. Give him whatever he needs, but don't show the traces. I'd like to see how different Grandma Bess is in the person. Listening to Alice's words, Guderian looked very satisfied.

"Isn't Grandma Bess an ordinary caregiver?" Alice wondered.

Guderian could hear the hint of inquiry in Alice's words, and said with a smile, "Now is not the time for you to know. You just have to do it now. ”

"It's a bit loud in the basement. Alice had a worried look on her face.

"Where has it been bouncing for thousands of years, and it's not the same? Guderian waved his hand and motioned for Alice to go out.

Alice frowned slightly, and stopped talking. This slight change was clearly seen by Guderian.

"What else do you have to do, child?" asked Guderian.

"Mr. Hu, the deputy director, is too arrogant. In order to curry favor with the blood clan, he even provoked the samurai selection system of the Holy See. He is the scum of the Terrans. Alice had an angry look on her face.

"Mr. Fox's approach is a little too much, but there is no way to touch him now. Guderian sighed.

"Why can't you touch him? He has done so many bad things, and it's all obvious. Alice said excitedly. "I know what you're going to say, but I just don't understand why we Terrans are trying to live like this, why do we have to use the lives of those children to curry favor with the Bloods and gain their mercy. In this case, what is the difference between us and the cattle and sheep in captivity?" "The blood clan is very powerful, but we also have our own swordsmen, knights, and magicians, so we can't beat them?" Over the years, whenever I saw the helpless faces of those students who had been forcibly taken away by the Blood Clan, my heart felt like it had been cut by a knife. Alice said with tears in her eyes.

"Enough. You go down. Looks like I've been used to you all these years. Guderian said angrily.

"All right, son, go down. There are some things that you will understand later. Mrs. Lucy came in through the door, dressed in a loose silk dressing gown that was split from her hips and showed her fair thighs.

Alice wiped tears from her face, saluted Guderian and Mrs. Lucy, and walked out.

"Don't be angry, my dear. Sometimes I think she has a point. The Holy See allows the Blood Clan to select eighty-eight children from each Tzu Chi Hall of our Terran race as their tribute every year. This is not much in number, though. But the mental blow to our Terrans is quite enormous. Now we Terrans have little cohesion. Mrs. Lucy said.

Guderian said bitterly, "I don't understand this." But what can be done?"

Mrs. Lucy walked up to Guderian and asked in a low voice, "The Holy Clans in the Holy See are really so powerful, why are they so partial to the Blood Clans?"

"Thousands of years have passed, and there is no truth, only legends. But according to the reliable information left by my ancestors, the Holy Race was sent by the gods to cleanse us of our original sins, and they have the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, and they can easily destroy us. No matter what, obey the arrangement of the Holy See, which is an ancient precept handed down by my ancestors. Guderian's face was heavy.

"But the legend also says that when the Child of Light comes, the earth will be shone with a rainbow of light, sweeping away all darkness from the world and exterminating all the bloods of the earth......" Mrs. Lucy's voice trembled.
