Chapter 2: The Calling
"No. 1 Edison in singles...... Second Arilan...... Third Rest...... Eighth Janis ......"
In the stands, the results of the game, which were originally reported by people, were finally replaced by a hoarse mechanical sound without ups and downs, and the audience listening to the audience changed from drowsy to covering their ears and frowning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of the game, the excitement faded, and many people felt that their heads were heavy, and they had the urge to go home and fall asleep, especially some ordinary people, some of whom fell asleep without even listening to the results of the game.
The most energetic group of people now is probably the players who have just been promoted in the "mirror warehouse".
After waking up, Edison could find that throughout the closing ceremony, the legends on the stage were peeking at him from time to time.
Whenever they looked at Edison and them, those people would look away, but they looked at Edison's expression a little weirdly.
After the competition, the celebration was naturally indispensable, and 50 contestants from Tiannan and Haibei, plus their leading teachers and miscellaneous people, about 200 people attended the banquet.
Eventually, the party lasted until the wee hours of the morning, and Edison found that his father had tried to call him out of the celebratory crowd several times, but several times he had put his hand back.
This made Edison can't help but take the initiative to come forward and ask:
"Father, do you have something to tell me?"
Lancer had been holding Illylan's arm tightly, but when he turned around, he said:
"It's okay! It's okay! It's hard to get the first place, so you can relax first! Rest well today......" He said, pulling his mother and walking away quickly!
At this moment, Edison was so intelligent that he couldn't figure out what was going on.
(Anyway, we originally lived together, wouldn't it be more suspicious to avoid him like this?)
Turning around again, Edison found that Arilan was also gone, and walked back a few steps, countless people who knew or didn't know Edison would always nod in friendliness when they saw Edison, so he had to nod in response to everyone's enthusiasm.
But after a turn, Edison didn't find Arilan in the end, which made him a little depressed who originally wanted to ask people out and talk specifically about the "study tour plan"!
"It's too fast, isn't it, I still see her chatting with people when I come out......" muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and Edison shook off his steps and walked home.
The night market, which was originally a bit lively on the street, was closed very early today, making the sleepless city of the entire imperial capital seem quiet.
A few more steps, and then look at the arena where he has struggled for dozens of days, you will find that the power of the legend is so incredible.
It's just a dinner, and the original gorgeous arena and audience seats full of the atmosphere of the sci-fi world are all gone.
It has been restored to the ordinary steel structure building that several people saw at the beginning, and the seats have also been restored to the interior decoration building mode of about 50,000 yuan, and even the original open-air ceiling has disappeared, and it has changed back to the relatively closed ceiling style.
"Is it 'under the realm, do as you please'......? It's a pity, it's a pity!" Edison had an inexplicable strange impulse in his heart at this moment, as if he was lamenting those legends, who had such magical creativity but were trapped on the planet, unable to advance or retreat.
As soon as he took a turn, the direction of his way home suddenly changed, and he walked all the way through the 12th and 11th districts...... Finally, we came to the most famous building in the entire empire, the outer part of the Tesla Soul Tower.
Conspicuous warning signs and bright enchantment light curtains all show that strangers are not welcome to come and go here.
But standing under the tower, Edison felt that he could go in, looking at the night guards around him who were looking at him suspiciously, reason and feeling conflicted, and Edison finally chose reason.
Gritting his teeth, he endured the throbbing in his heart and turned to leave.
But less than 10 steps away, a vicissitudes of voice suddenly came from behind: "Since you're here, why don't you come in......"
Edison's back was hot, and when he looked back, he found it empty.
"Did you speak to me just now?" Edison asked the only night watchman behind him.
"Oh! no...... Why are you here in the middle of the night without sleeping?"
"Want to break in and open your eyes?"
"Which's ...... of you?"
After three sentences, maybe it was an occupational disease, this person began to check Edison's identity and household registration.
Edison believed that there were ghosts in this world, but he didn't think any of them could escape his detection.
He asked seriously, "Are you sure that no one really spoke to me just now, and you didn't hear anything else?"
The inspector said impatiently: "Hey, why did you kid ask about me, I said what are you hanging around here in the middle of the night?"
Edison was a little impatient, and hurriedly handed over the qualification card, looking at the clear identity and name on it, and the description of the competition, the inspector who listened to the whole broadcast during the day felt that the name of the person in front of him was very familiar.
"You...... You're the ...... who got the first and first today."
He looked at Edison in disbelief, as if he had met some great person.
Although it was a little cool to be looked at with this expression, Edison was not in this mood at the moment, he just looked up in the direction of the "Soul Tower" seriously.
Because just as the two were talking, he heard the voice again: "Since you are here, why don't you come in......"
To be honest, as he remembered that he had turned the entire imperial capital upside down, and even had the experience of smashing and plundering soul stones, the appearance of this voice was really unexpected.
The unknown is fascinating, but stepping into the unknown without making any preparation is just a recklessness...... Therefore, in the spiritual induction, he did not notice the signs of the man, so Edison used his mental power to leave a message:
"Because I'm not ready yet, wait until I call my father to come with me!"
Leaving this spiritual message, Edison took back his identification from the inspector and said, "It's all right now!" I'll just walk around, you just do your own thing......
After saying that, Edison left without a trace of hesitation.
This time, the voice never came to his ears again, and Edison went home and slept soundly.
Early the next morning, Edison, who woke up to exercise according to his biological clock, was stopped by Lancer before he was about to go out.
But this time it was Lancer who spoke first:
"I heard that you went to the 'Soul Tower' last night for a walk!"
Edison said expressionlessly, "yes! I just finished the game and the excitement was gone, and I walked around and I was there." ”
Lancer choked on this, and after a long time, he twisted a strange expression and asked, "And you...... Did you hear any strange noises?"
As soon as he heard this, Edison's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face immediately became richer, and he asked with a little excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, someone kept asking me to go in last night, but I couldn't find the source of the sound, so naturally I didn't do what he said...... What do you know, Dad?"
Lancer was in a trance by this answer, and threw away all his former composure, and kept walking back and forth in front of him, and still said with words in his mouth:
"It's not magic to react so quickly!"
After a long while, Lancer said as if he had made up his mind:
"You can go with me today!"
Edison asked with a confused expression, "Where are you going?"
Lancer said as a matter of course: "Let's find the Tesla family elders first......"
"Do you want to go to the Soul Tower?" Edison asked.
Lancer said in a resolute tone: "Go, of course I want to go, but that's the last stop, today's schedule is a bit tight, and there may be a lot of people we want to meet!" (To be continued.) )
