Chapter 3: The Wall of Wishes
Wu Xiaode only felt a pain in his brain like a pinprick in his head.
Fortunately, the pain only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
I really have a little more knowledge in my mind, all related to the mechanical design of engineering.
"I see."
Wu Xiaode thought secretly.
During the time in the Cave of Death, the Heroic Spirits recognized themselves, and the Book of the Dead gained the power to help them escape.
Now Xia Huilan has recognized herself, and she has gained her knowledge again.
It turns out that when you are recognized and appreciated by others, the Book of the Dead can benefit from others!
While Wu Xiaode was thinking silently, Xia Huilan seemed to have made a decision.
"Xiao Wu, follow me." She beckoned.
The two walked through the alley, entered the family building of the unit, and went up to the fifth floor together.
Xia Huilan took out the key and opened the door, and walked in with Wu Xiaode.
"Sit down, I'll get you something." Xia Hui Landau.
"Sister Lan, don't be so polite, I am working now to earn money by myself, and I can't ask for your things anymore." Wu Xiaode hurriedly refused.
"It's not money."
Xia Huilan took out a small USB flash drive from the cabinet and solemnly placed it in front of Wu Xiaode.
"What is this?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.
"I work in the design institute, and I can get in touch with some things that you ordinary people can't touch, this is something I designed, and I'll hand it over to you now." Xia Hui Landau.
"No, Sister Lan, this is your thing, why give it to me?" Wu Xiaode excused.
Xia Huilan looked at him deeply and said seriously: "Your parents died in that accident in the early years, and they didn't leave you any wealth, so that you had such a hard time-"
Wu Xiaode interrupted her and said, "There is no need to mention the past, Sister Lan, I'm doing well." ”
"I know you've loved to fight since you were a child, but you've completed the college entrance examination and are about to go to college, I still have to say, don't fight anymore in the future, it's too easy to bury your life." Xia Hui Landau.
"Don't worry, Sister Lan, who wants to cause trouble? I don't want to. Wu Xiaode sighed.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around to take care of them, how would those people dare to bully themselves?
After his parents left, he was alone in the world, and if he didn't fight back, he could only be bullied all the time.
He is destined to be a person who can't stand being bullied by others.
When I was in junior high school, as long as those boys who liked to bully people dared to open up to themselves, they would have absolutely no reaction on the spot.
But afterwards, if they don't pay attention, they will take action themselves.
The whole school performs theatrical performances.
Before a tall boy came on stage, he was splashed with from behind.
Another example is going down the stairs.
Almost every boy who bullied Wu Xiaode rolled down the stairs and was beaten on the ground.
A group of boys got out of school and blocked Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode went directly to the dean's office, or else to the president's office.
If you are really in trouble, call the police.
Later, this group of boys found the gangsters outside the school, asked the gangsters to come forward, and beat Wu Xiaode hard.
Wu Xiaode was silent for a day.
The next day he went into the bookstore and read books for an afternoon.
Look at criminal law.
and the records of various criminal cases.
On the third day, he went to school with the last bit of money he had left at home.
Deliberately let those thugs see the money.
Of course, the thugs won't let it go.
However, according to the book—
"The crime of robbery is an act, and the Criminal Law does not stipulate restrictions on the amount or circumstances that constitute the crime of robbery, as long as the perpetrator uses violence, coercion or other methods to carry out the act of robbing public or private property on the spot, regardless of whether or not money is robbed, and regardless of the amount of money actually robbed, in principle, it constitutes the crime of robbery."
The crime of robbery is a felony and starts in three years.
This time, the amount involved is not small.
Of course, the police attached great importance to this kind of thing, and the matter was quickly resolved.
The gangsters confessed to several students who liked to bully others, saying that they instructed them.
The rest of the matter is simply a piece of chicken feathers, and even the school has been punished.
But for Wu Xiaode-
He's safe.
I experienced a lot of these things, and in the end, I lost my reputation, of course, it also involved attention, and my studies were also affected.
However, Sister Lan is a scholar and has been busy with her studies, so she doesn't know about these things.
She speaks with good intentions.
Wu Xiaode naturally agreed with a smile.
"You're going to college soon, some of the designs in this USB flash drive are all the knowledge I have accumulated, so I'll leave it all to you, if you don't learn mechanical design in the future, you can also sell it for a sum of money." Xia Hui Landau.
Wu Xiaode realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Lan, is this your scientific research achievement?" ”
Xia Huilan nodded.
"You don't even want results? What are you going to do? Wu Xiaode asked.
"I'm ready to quit my job and go back to the countryside." Xia Hui Landau.
"Isn't the work of the company good? Last time I heard you were going to be promoted. Wu Xiaode said.
"Promotion...... So what? I've worked too hard, and now it's time to give up, so let me go back to the countryside and live a stable life. Xia Huilan sighed.
As soon as her words fell, the black book of the dead floating in the air slowly opened, and lines of small ice crystal characters appeared again:
"Special Reminder:"
"Xia Huilan's fate was already predestined, and you changed her circumstances and made her re-examine her life."
"Her fate is about to change."
"Many of the resulting serial events are about to fall into an undecided state."
The Book of the Dead shook.
I saw the small words of ice crystals on the page, and suddenly turned into a raging flame, as if something had been activated.
These flames are rearranged in rows, condensing into new prompts:
"In the mortal situation, you have glimpsed a glimmer of life, allowing the thread of your destiny to intertwine with all sentient beings, and begin to affect the vast world and all living beings, so that everything is uncertain."
"The power of fate in this book is beginning to take shape."
"Do you want to turn on this kind of power?"
Does this need to be asked?
Wu Xiaode said silently in his heart: "Open!" ”
The words fell, and another line of small ice crystal words quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
"This has been done on your will."
"After an hour, the Book of the Dead will activate deep powers:"
"May the wall."
……
Wu Xiaode returned to his home.
He turned on the computer, plugged in the USB flash drive, and read the data inside.
Dense drawings of mechanical creations appeared on the screen, and there were hundreds of pages to count at random.
There are also some Xia Huilan's personal experiences and notes.
Wu Xiaode just got her "92025 Type Advanced Humanoid Combat Machine Curved Bearing Design Style and Modification", and by the way, she obtained the basic knowledge of the front, so she can naturally understand these drawings.
"It's really quite ahead of its time, has our technology advanced to this extent?"
Wu Xiaode was a little incredulous.
The things on the drawings are subversive, completely beyond his usual cognition.
If you want to explain these mechanical design creations in layman's terms, you can actually use a concept in anime to describe them.
Humanoid mobile armor.
It turns out that we could have made mobile warframes a long time ago!
But there's a catch.
Why has there never been a mobile Warframe in the world?
What are governments hiding?
Wu Xiaode immediately realized the importance of this knowledge.
He couldn't help but think back to what had just happened.
When they were separated, Xia Huilan said something quite vaguely.
"Xiaohai, remember to prepare more rice and oil, store some drinking water, and prepare some medicines, such as fever and cold, hemostasis, anti-diarrhea and other medicines, which can be used in life."
"If I call you one day, you must come to the country to find me."
…… Is there going to be a war?
Or is there something else?
Xia Huilan didn't answer herself on the spot, but just said that everything was speculation.
Wu Xiaode shook his head, closed his eyes, and recalled all the mechanical knowledge again-
For some reason, I remember the knowledge I just gained quite firmly, as if it were my own memories in the first place.
If there is something forgotten, the Book of the Dead will immediately be automatically opened, revealing the corresponding contents.
Data storage capabilities?
- That's fine.
Case......
Wu Xiaode pulled out the USB flash drive, burned it with the stove in the kitchen, then chopped it into slag and rushed it into the sewer.
Okay, this knowledge is rotten in your own head.
After doing all this, he subconsciously looked at the black book in mid-air.
It's almost an hour away.
Sure enough, when he stared at the Book of the Dead, the pages opened automatically, and suddenly turned into a fog that completely enveloped him.
Wu Xiaode looked around blankly.
The vast fog around is like the sky and the sea, covering everything as far as the eye can see, boundless.
All is silent, like death.
"Anyone doesn't? What the hell is this place? Wu Xiaode shouted.
In the endless mist, whispering female voices rang out.
Wu Xiaode seemed to be able to see many vague human figures, but if he looked closely, the figures disappeared again.
He subconsciously understood one thing.
A mysterious ritual is unfolding, and you must not interrupt it.
The Book of the Dead gradually appeared in front of him, radiating a glow of frost and flame.
Under the light of this brilliant light, one after another female voices began to sing faintly:
"The sky will fall, and its darkness is especially fierce."
"Friend, please be sure to save yourself again and again, again and again, again and again, three times and a thousand times, without hesitation, because only if you live, there is hope for everything;"
"Friend, please kindle the anger in your heart in this raging tide of darkness;"
"This red heart fire will surely erase the blood, tears and regrets of the living beings;"
"This raging flame will surely light your way forward, so that all evil cannot be hidden;"
"Friend, thou wilt hold the Book of the Dead in your hand and hold up the light in the darkness, please go to the end of your destiny with all your might, ascend to the highest position, and become the lord of thousands of heroic souls;"
"Friend, we have come from a distant and quiet land, and we bless you here."
"May you always be good at fighting."
The sound faded away, and everything was quiet again.
Wu Xiaode wiped the corners of his eyes, a little confused.
Tear?
I didn't understand what they were singing at all, but I cried over it?
At this time, an old and dilapidated wall quietly emerged, standing in the endless mist.
I saw that this wall was covered with colorful notes.
Wu Xiaode swore that those notes were full of words, but no matter how hard he tried to read them, he couldn't read what was written on them.
On the wall, a note suddenly fell off quietly and flew into his hand.
Wu Xiaode looked at the note and saw that it read:
"It's a pity that my descendants have fallen to such a point that they are about to die."
"If anyone can replace this cause and effect and let my descendants avoid this murder, I am willing to pay a good reward."
It's very quiet.
Wu Xiaode looked at the note, only to see a few lines of small words quietly emerging from the Book of the Dead:
"Do you accept this commission?"
"If you accept, you'll know right away."
"Note: This is the most suitable commission at the moment, other orders are either too far away, or you are not strong enough."
"If you miss this commission, you won't have any other way to get soul power in one day."
What else is there to say about this?
If there is no accident, after seven days he will appear directly in the giant's mouth, and then-
Click!
The giant only needs to close his mouth and die himself.
Now I can only fight and survive in death!
"I accept this commission."
Wu Xiaode said.
The note suddenly spread out of his hand and split in two.
Half of it turned into a pale yellow badge carved with a lifelike dragon, and the other half turned into a sparkling light that circled around him and disappeared into his brow.
Scenes after scenes appeared in Wu Xiaode's mind.
"Unexpected...... This is the kind of thing that was commissioned......"
He muttered under his breath.
