A very special sound of mobile phone vibration spread among all the members of the three teams, and everyone took out their mobile phones at the same time.

This kind of brick-like button mobile phone only has the function of answering calls, and when Xiongqi took it from the weapons department and assigned it to the three squads, he was wandering for a long time by the three teams, and when Mu Qinghe received the mobile phone, he found that it was even more backward than the one used by Grandma Wang.

But the fact is that this type of mobile phone is the latest generation of products of the weapons department, which not only follows the tradition of implanting positioning chips in the protective circuit board of mobile phone batteries, but also installs a mission notification function that distinguishes the team members from other trainees.

The use of this kind of button mobile phone can effectively prevent the penetration of hackers and viruses, and can also avoid the team members from going to the Internet at will on the way to do some boring things.

The satellites that connect the mobile phones of the students of the Operations Department are also different from those of other departments, and the Guardian Guild launched two satellites in the Antarctic region in the early years to transmit messages from the communication equipment of all the guild owners, and the two satellites rely on each other, and the original intention of the sub-satellite launch was to protect the mother satellite, and it can self-destruct at any time for the safety of the mother satellite.

However, twenty years ago, a group of guild commissioners who regularly went to inspect and repair satellites in person were surprised to find that the internal system of the sub-satellite had been changed without knowing when it had been changed, and several encryption programs that did not interfere with each other were implanted in the deepest part of the system.

After that, this matter was over, only the high-level leaders of the Guardian Guild and the five patriarchs knew the inside story, and it turned out that the president of Beltamen University Xiongqi didn't know what method he used, and asked the guild leader for control of the sub-satellite, and now the communication tools of the three teams of the Operations Department use the sub-satellite to complete the transmission of information.

Now the same phrase appears on everyone's button phone display, and the main meaning is that they should not linger after completing the task and go back to school immediately.

"Guess who sent this notice?" After reading the message, Fubo carefully put the phone back in his pocket.

This kind of mobile phone is of very good quality, and after the improvement of the weapons department, top-notch technology is used in power use and performance, but the disadvantage of such a modification is that it inexplicably produces a lot of strange programming code, although it is also encrypted, but it is also noticed by some powerful hackers, and it is easy to touch the confidential problem after touching the vine. As a result, the Weapons Department has implanted a self-destruction protection system on this mobile phone, which will immediately freeze and delete all sensitive files as long as an unknown signal that has not been set to touch the confidential network.

However, there are also cases where the mobile phone cannot be destroyed in time due to problems or interfering signals, and the program setter enters another independent command to self-detonate. The mobile phone has become a powerful time bomb, and the Guardian Guild has a precedent for users to be killed by bombs, and this directive is directly decided by the senior management of the guild headquarters because it involves the safety of the users themselves.

That is, they are in the hands of the life and death of the members who carry mobile phones.

"I guess it's the headmaster." Shengyou took back his mobile phone and glanced at Fu Bo, "You don't have to be so cautious, the mobile phone used by our Operations Department is specially made by the Weapons Department, and it has not been entered into the self-explosion program." ”

"Something could be wrong." Mu Qinghe was still looking at the notification on his phone, "It seems that we need to go back early." ”

Mexico, House of Balmain.

As one of the five major psionic inheritance families, the Balman family has an extremely strict hierarchical order, and the strict hierarchy from the top down of this family is a major feature that distinguishes it from the other four families. They spared no effort to promote the ancient slave civilization and firmly implemented it, and the whole family admired and reveled in the aesthetics of violence as the most beautiful art.

If the Judit family is an underworld family with some gentlemanly genes, then Balmain is a gathering place for a group of madmen and violent maniacs.

A black sedan pulls through the bustling city of Morelia and stops in front of a church that is as quiet as a forest, and out of the driver's seat is a strong man with tattoos on his arm, even in cold weather, he is only wearing a black vest that sets off his muscles.

The strong man respectfully opened the door in the back row, and a middle-aged man with mink around his neck stepped down.

Passing through the boulevard of ancient trees on both sides, the middle-aged man walked into a passage with mottled walls, and the branches of the ancient trees were full of all kinds of small birds, which were quietly listening to the footsteps of visitors.

On the ochre-colored roof cross of the church sits a young man, with a stick of grass in his mouth, and his eyes are clear, like a child who does not know the world.

At the end of the aisle, four elderly people are slumped on bamboo chairs, all guarded by a beautiful woman who feeds them fruit that has been mashed beforehand, and their movements are stiff and uniform, like machines.

The middle-aged man stood still fifty meters away from them, he bowed respectfully, and then knelt down and kowtowed, and the ceremony of meeting was as cumbersome as a funeral.

"Guzhen is trapped in the Sahara, and the family has received a distress message, so they have come to trouble the four elders to give instructions." The middle-aged man said respectfully, in front of the four old men in front of him, he didn't dare to show the slightest anxious expression, even if he was the current head of the Balmain family, even if it was his son who was trapped.

"Guzhen is the hope of our family, and we all love him, but you have sent him to study at Beltamen University, so it should be Xiongqi who should be worried, not you, the head of the Balmain family."

The oldest old man looked at the head of the house kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, his toothless mouth squirmed up and down to suck the sweet smell of the fruit puree, and there were two black patches on both sides of his head, which extended from the wires to the computer next to him, and the things in his heart were transmitted through the conversion of brain waves and spiritual power.

The old man had been struck in the mouth by a highly corrosive psionic energy ten years earlier, and his entire mouth had melted into a pile of mud, and the mixture of teeth and tongue that had not yet been cleaned was still in his mouth, connected to the rotten flesh in the upper layers of his mouth.

"Great Elder, I understand." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully again, got up and left, and did not mention the objections and requests in his heart.

After the middle-aged man left, the place fell silent again, except for the strange sound of a few old people licking apple puree, the juice being sucked into the stomach, and the remaining flesh being gently pulled out by the nurse next to him with his fingers.

"You old guys, aren't you uncomfortable living?" A burst of ridicule sounded, and the voice was actually aimed at the four elders of the Balmain family! But after the voice sounded, the four old men and the beautiful nurse who served them did not show any strange expressions, and even the guards hidden in the shadows did not make any moves.

"Gucci, you are far better than your brother, and we all see you as the hope for the rise of the family." Such a passage appeared on the LCD display of the computer next to the Great Elder.

"I love to hear this, old fellow, you who have lost your mouth make me like it more and more." The young man laughed heartily, he approached the side of the great elder and took the bowl and spoon from the hand of the beautiful nurse, and pushed her away casually, the beautiful nurse stumbled, and the part of the clothes that the young man touched was instantly corroded into nothingness, revealing a large piece of corroded skin curled together, and the beautiful nurse clenched her teeth and did not make a single movement.

At this moment, a vision suddenly appeared, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and lightning swam through it, blooming with a chilling light.

A tall, bald old man strode along the boulevard, and all the guards hidden in the shadows appeared to bow down, and the young man called Gucci also put down his bowl and knelt on one knee. The four old men lowered their eyelids in unison as a sign of respect.

"That tribe in the Sahara is so interesting, no wonder it will trap my grandson, Gooch, go to the Sahara and pick up your brother." The tall old man was the patriarch of the Balmain family, who had just returned from the Guardians' Guild, and he was carrying his hands behind his back and chewing on the shocking news he had just learned that would drive all the Guardians crazy.

"Hehe, grandfather, what if my brother is killed?" The boy smiled harmlessly.

"Then you bring his body back." The tall old man glanced at him.

"Okay." As if receiving a holy decree, the young man quickly got up and ran out, "I will definitely bring back my brother...... of corpses. ”

At the same time, the French Judit family, the British Cavendish family, the South American Howard family, the South American Nasser family. The patriarchs of the four major families went home and gave the same order as Balman, and almost at the same time, a total of 100 spirit keeper masters from the five major families rushed to the Sahara Desert!

University of Beltamen, France.

Mu Qinghe, who returned in a hurry, was directly called to the principal's office by the principal when they returned to school.

"Headmaster, what's going on?" As the captain, Mu Qinghe was the first to ask.

"The mission of the second team failed, and all the members were stranded in the Sahara Desert." Xiongqi sat in his chair smoking a cigar, his face looking very calm.

"They, nothing happened, right?" Hearing Xiongqi's words, Mu Qinghe's fingers trembled unconsciously, and he forcibly suppressed the apprehension in his heart and asked again.

"The distress message from the ancient town did not mention any casualties, so there should be no accident for the time being." Xiongqi asked them to find a place to sit down, and their fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and those who were familiar with Xiongqi would find that the old man's heart was far less calm than it appeared on the surface, "You rest for the night, and tomorrow you will save people." ”

"Old man, can you tell us where the second team is going on a mission?" Shengyou had a faint bad premonition in his heart since he saw Xiongqi, and at this moment, the uneasiness in his heart boiled to the extreme, and he finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"You probably know best." Xiongqi looked at Shengyou, a strange smile on his face.

Seeing Xiongqi like this, Shengyou suddenly knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and he closed his eyes resignedly, "Although I was almost stewed in that tribe last time, I also figured out one thing, there is only a black stone in that broken place, why do you have to catch them?" That tribe is really weird. ”

"In that place, the psionic energy will be invalidated, and half of the battle genes nourished by the spiritual power will be sealed. Right? Xiongqi's words made Shengyou stunned, he didn't remember reporting this to the old man in front of him.

"Hmph, you think you're the only one who has ever been in the bronze pot at the gate of that tribe's village?" Xiongqi snorted coldly and stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground.

When night fell, Xiongqi asked the rest of the third team to get the best rescue plan formulated by the Situation Analysis Department for their team, and spent another night getting acquainted with it, but he left Mu Qinghe by his side.

"Mu Qinghe, this operation is not restricted by that strange tribe because you are not a spirit keeper. So you'll be a variable that can play a surprising role. Xiongqi greeted Mu Qinghe, and the two walked outside side by side, "Follow me, before that, I want to be sure of one thing." ”

Mu Qinghe was taken by the principal Xiongqi to the tallest building on campus.

"This is the real place where the black stone body is hidden." This building has three floors, Xiongqi took Mu Qinghe and walked out of the elevator on the third floor slowly, "There are infrared scanners at the elevator doors, once you find that the information is not entered into the information database of people entering and exiting here, you will immediately activate the second-level defense system by yourself, such as you now." Xiongqi looked at Mu Qinghe with a smile in his eyes.

"Huh?" Mu Qinghe's head was full of black lines, "So, now I'm an intruder?" ”

"Theoretically, follow me." Exiting the elevator was a long hallway, with a gentle glow from the retro-style chandeliers on both sides, and the corridor was quiet, except for the click of the principal's leather boots hitting the ground, "How many steps did we just take?" Xiongqi suddenly stopped and asked Mu Qinghe.

"48 steps." Mu Qinghe replied affirmatively.

"Huh?" Now it was Xiongqi's turn to be surprised, "Sometimes, I have to treat you like an agent. ”

Mu Qinghe scratched his head and laughed inexplicably. Xiongqi suddenly understood something at this moment, growing up alone, he always had to find something seemingly boring to relieve his loneliness.

Xiongqi took out a sunglasses from his arms and threw them to Mu Qinghe, motioning for him to put them on, Mu Qinghe put on his sunglasses and looked ahead, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the front was densely packed with laser rays, the nearest one was less than two centimeters away from his shoes, and if he moved half a step forward, his toes would be cut in half.

"I'm taking bigger steps than you, I'm taking 2.5 feet in one step, a total of 43 steps, just reaching the limit of a safe distance, the ground we walked on just now is equipped with microwave sensors, our own weight, the heat distribution of the body is now turned into data transmission, which is convenient for people outside to monitor, and those laser rays in front of you, once touched, poured down from the skylight, the cement will seal the elevator door tightly, and the intruder will be completely trapped in the corridor on the third floor."

Xiongqi smirked, as if to verify what he said, he threw something at the laser in front of him, and the thrown thing was instantly cut into several pieces, and in the process of falling, it was divided by the laser, and when it fell to the ground, it had become more than a dozen pieces. Mu Qinghe's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

After a while.

"Headmaster, may I ask a question?"

"Just ask. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you. Xiongqi looked at him triumphantly.

"The elevator door was sealed with cement and we ...... How to go down? Mu Qinghe swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at Xiongqi with straight eyes.

Xiongqi's smug expression suddenly froze on his face, and he suddenly laughed unnaturally, "You stupid, can I trap myself here?" I'm just giving you a demonstration, we're going to go out in a while, and people outside will naturally have a way to let us out, don't worry about this, come on, come on, I'll introduce you to it. ”

Mu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the principal explain this, and continued to listen to Xiongqi as a good student.

But at this time, Xiongqi's heart was broken, in order to ensure the strict confidentiality of this matter, all the security systems in this building are controlled by a central computer, and the computer is in his office, and Professor Khaki, who has been guarding the computer before, has been beaten out by himself because he was secretly drinking his treasured whiskey, so now, according to theory, the president's office has no human hair! In the middle of the night, who would have known that there were two people trapped in this building?

"Headmaster, are you alright?" Mu Qinghe saw Xiongqi's constipated expression on his face and asked with concern.

"It's okay, what can I do?" Xiongqi squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside." Xiongqi took out a remote control-like device from his arms and temporarily turned off the laser in front of him.

What else can I do now? I had to keep going. I only hope that tomorrow that group of unreliable students will find out that the unreliable principal is missing, or tomorrow the old khaki bastard will go to the principal's office to be on duty early. But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem uncommon for an unreliable headmaster to disappear mysteriously, and when Khaki went to the principal's office and found that he was not there, it seemed that he had only done one thing of stealing alcohol, would he check the surveillance on time? Thinking of this, the smile on Principal Xiongqi's face became even more ugly.

After passing the frightening laser mechanism, the two of them stood at the door of the room at the end of the third floor, Principal Xiongqi slowly pushed the door with both hands, and a vigorous aura revealing mysteries poured into Mu Qinghe's mouth and nose, Mu Qinghe took a sharp breath, this was the second time he smelled this strange air, the first time was in the small house full of black stones, but this time the breath was obviously more powerful than the last time.

"This is the real place where the black stone is placed, the last place you went to is called the prayer room, it is only opened within five days of the new students entering the school every year, and after five days, the black stone is transferred here for careful care." Xiongqi's face was serious, and his momentum changed suddenly, and Mu Qinghe, who didn't even understand the slightest bit of spiritual energy, felt a little coercive.

"Comprehending psionic energy is divided into two parts: praying for seniors and self-comprehension, the stronger the person who prays for you, the higher the chance of success in comprehending psionic energy, and I am still confident that no one can surpass me at the level of psionic energy use in the entire Bertamen University, so." Xiongqi paused, grabbed Mu Qinghe's right hand, cut his fingers with his own nails, and popped out a drop of blood, the blood crossed an arc in the air and dripped into the clean white porcelain cup prepared in advance, he turned his head and filled the porcelain cup with mountain spring water, and kept dipping his fingers in the water on the black stone, shaking his head and shaking his head, "I pray for you personally!" ”

After a while, Xiongqi, who was tired and sweating, and Mu Qinghe, who looked like watching a play, glanced at each other, and was so angry that Xiongqi kicked him to the ground, then sat on the ground and muttered to himself: "It's really strange, there is no reaction at all, could it be that your kid's genes are really thin to the point of negligibility?" ”

"Headmaster, how come there is a book here?" When Mu Qinghe, who struggled to get up, looked up, he happened to see an open book in the crystal box on a stone pillar, and the pillars containing black stones around him vaguely seemed to be standing around the book.

"This book is very big, this book is called 'Spirit Book', and at that time, Khaki and I almost got our lives to grab this book. It's only half a book, and there are no words. If I hadn't taken it to the old fox of the Guardian Guild who could only calculate people when I snatched it back, I would have thrown it away a long time ago. At that time, the guy actually cried and told me that this book was handed down from the era of the Spirit Kingdom, and it may record the history of the Spirit Kingdom and even the reason for its destruction. Xiongqi laughed heartily and continued: "Originally, I didn't believe it, even the stone that inherited spiritual energy has been polished by time to potholes, and the paper can actually be passed down, isn't this a fart?" But the old guy wanted to stay, so I didn't give it to him, so I took it back. But the strange thing is that from the time I got this half of the book until now, it has been like this, and the other pages are glued together, and only the reverse and the front can be seen. ”

Mu Qinghe lay on the crystal box and stared at it carefully, he had read a lot of stories since he was a child, what wordless heavenly books sprinkled water, and what was cultivated into peerless martial arts. In his subconscious, most of those wordless books are waiting for the discovery of destined people, and it is not easy to come across a book that is so in line with the logic of mythology, he must not look at it a few more times, in case he sees something, then it is not invincible in the world?

Xiongqi looked at Mu Qinghe, who was about to cut off his eyes and stick them on the glass, and couldn't see anything, thinking of the cement pouring the elevator door, he was inexplicably irritable, he approached Mu Qinghe and gave him a burst, grabbed his collar and walked out, and said as he walked: "You are also half a guardian, but what can you see with your thin genes like this?" The cement defense is very flawed and must be improved later! The second half of the sentence naturally only appeared in Xiongqi's heart, and he and Mu Qinghe returned to the corridor and closed the heavy iron door casually.

At the moment when the door closed, the half of the ordinary book that had not changed for twenty years suddenly turned a page.

At the moment, there is no breeze or sound in the room, it is more like a person turning the pages of a book after reading it.

That's all, nothing more.

At the same time, on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, in a human building, an old man who was about to fall asleep suddenly opened his eyes, regardless of his shoes, got up in a panic and ran out, he ran up the mountain road in one breath, it was hard to imagine that it would be an old man with such physical strength. The old man looked up at the sky, muttered and trembled.

"Mormas, what's going on?" Behind the old man, a one-eyed old man appeared, he had a momentum that had been in a high position for a long time, he just stood there, and the fear in the heart of the old man who looked up at the stars was forced down a little.

He turned back to the one-eyed old man and said, "President, you know the ability of the spiritual energy I have comprehended, twenty years ago I said that the wordless book that Xiongqi brought back was inherited from the Spirit Kingdom, and no one believed it except you, but they forgot, how could I be the kind of person who talks nonsense, I really saw something on that page of the book!" ”

"I believe it, Xiongqi also believes it, and two of the other five old guys also believe it. You underestimate these old guys, if Xiongqi doesn't believe it, why do you take the book back? Balmain, the guy who believes in fists deciding everything, why did you stand on top of him without the slightest objection? The one-eyed old man put his hands behind his back and looked at his old friend's feet covered with blood from the weeds and sharp stones on the mountain road, and continued: "You told me earlier that it was recorded in that book that there was a star in the sky that corresponded to the destiny star of my spiritual inheritance, and you have found the location of the star according to the method recorded in the book, so then you tell me seriously, you tell me seriously, what happened just now?" ”

"Balmain, he also believes in me? I didn't expect that. Momas shook his head slightly, and then said with a serious face: "There are two meteorites that were distributed around the guardian stars just now, and they suddenly shine!" ”
