Summer Vacation Chapter 21: What's the Deal with Injury?
Outside, the sky gradually brightened, and the sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, giving a glimmer of light to the otherwise dimly lit room.
Lying on the bed in his room, Lin Shaorong felt the warmth of the sun, and his eyes slowly opened.
Three days had passed since the incident in the Middle Sea Forest, and he had not stepped out of his room in those three days.
The three-day rest made his body feel a lot less painful than before.
He slowly stood up and left the bed, shook his numb arm, twisted his waist, and found that he could move normally except for some parts where he could still feel pain.
He paced the room back and forth on crutches, coming to the mirror and looking at himself in the mirror.
Tall and strong figure, evenly distributed muscles without the slightest waste, moving the body, every muscle seems to contain majestic strength, the slender neck is an angular face, a high nose bridge, double eyelids, bright eyes, people sigh that this is a beautiful man with clear eyebrows, but also because of the long hair and waist, so a bit of a woman's temperament.
After tying his hair into a single ponytail, the temperament of the whole person gives people a sense of grace, just like a handsome man in the world of Xianxia walked out of the picture.
Lin Shaorong got used to his current physical condition, twisted his neck for a while, and after confirming that it was correct, he put on his clothes and opened the door and walked out of the room.
When I went down to the first floor through the elevator, I happened to see Old Man Yu standing at the bar, holding a cigarette in his hand and spitting out clouds and mist from his mouth.
And in the row of seats in front of the bar, one of the seats is sitting an old man.
He was full of white hair, his face was slightly haggard, and he looked a little older than the old man.
At this moment, the two seemed to be talking about something more.
After the two noticed Lin Shaorong, they also ended the conversation and looked at him.
Looking at him, Lin Shaorong also reacted and said hello to the two.
"The old man and the old boy are embarrassed to cause trouble to you, this time it's my fault." Lin Shaorong lowered his head and spoke first to admit his mistake.
Tong Lao got up directly and left his seat, passed by Lin Shaorong and walked to the elevator entrance, and said:
"You guys are talking, Shaorong, come to my room when you're done."
After leaving a sentence, Tong Lao took the elevator directly upstairs.
Looking at Tong Lao who passed by his side and then went upstairs, he finally left only such a sentence, which couldn't help but make Lin Shaorong feel even more guilty in his heart.
"If you feel guilty, don't do it next time." At this time, the old man Yu spoke.
"I just wanted to challenge myself, and I didn't want to throw in the towel or run away from that person."
Lin Shaorong knew that he shouldn't have done that, but he didn't regret it.
In front of the old man's eyes, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and after taking a puff of the cigarette that was barely half a cut, he threw it into the ashtray on the side and spit out the mist and said:
"Unmastered abilities can hurt both yourself and those around you, I know what you're thinking, after all, at your age, you've already experienced a life that no one else has experienced."
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Yu picked up another cigarette, pressed the lighter and sucked it up.
"So, you have to cherish yourself more, the old guy from Tong Shengshan also told me that your ability will continue to overflow once your will touches a certain apex."
"Once you're in the middle of a fight, your power will only swell with your heart, but when it swells to a certain point, it will be released from your body, and that power is simply not able to withstand it in your body right now."
"This time you only removed the body's suppressor during the battle, so that power didn't harm your brain, you should be glad, but fortunately you didn't touch this power at the beginning, it seems that the time set for you by that old guy is quite effective, Luo Daohai's kid sent you back as quickly as possible, only a few hours away from your physical failure and crippled limbs."
Lin Shaorong also sighed, slowly sat on the sofa on the side and said:
"I know, I will go to Tong Lao to thank him, and so will Senior Brother."
"You don't have to say thank you." Old man Yu interrupted Lin Shaorong's words.
"You, you should apologize to them, especially the old guy Tong Shengshan, you still have to be responsible for yourself, you must reflect on it when you go up, you have just started the summer vacation, just accompany the old guy these days."
Lin Shaorong nodded, he also understood Tong Lao's concern for him, if he didn't care so much, he wouldn't have pulled him back from the ghost gate.
"What happened to Zhonghai Forest after that? Have you found any ghosts inside? ”
Hearing the question, Old Man Yu exhaled the smoke and said:
"This matter is still hidden for the time being, and if it is reported, it will definitely cause turmoil in the industry. We've handed over things to the Alliance, and the Alliance is also negotiating with the Alien Realm, but I guess they don't plan to hand things over, this negotiation is just a negotiation on this invasion and casualties, as for the inner ghosts, we can't involve it, and we can't involve it. ”
"We can only see the follow-up development." After speaking, the old man had finished smoking the second cigarette and took out the third one.
"I said, old man, can't you smoke less? Not afraid of physical problems? Looking at the clouds and mist in the store, Lin Shaorong really couldn't stand it.
"You see your current state and you are still qualified to talk about me?" Old man Yu also replied directly.
Lin Shaorong also knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly changed the topic and said:
"What were you talking about with Tong Lao before, I see that you were quite serious at the time."
"Hmph, as long as you kid is clever, let that old guy clean you up." Old man Yu really couldn't help Lin Shaorong, although he wanted to teach him a lesson and scold him, he still couldn't bear it.
Lin Shaorong also scratched his head embarrassedly, he knew that Old Man Yu wanted to criticize and teach himself a lesson on the issue of his willfulness, but he really couldn't do it.
Maybe it's because they've been together for a long time, Old Man Yu is used to it, or maybe he doesn't want to interfere too much, or he still hopes that Lin Shaorong can grow up alone after experiencing some things.
However, the necessary precautions and warnings still have to be complied with by Lin Shaorong, so Old Man Yu will always pay attention to Lin Shaorong's situation.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Old Man Yu answered Lin Shaorong's question.
"I received a message this morning that there are two offices on Center Street."
Halfway through speaking, he took another puff of cigarette and exhaled the clouds, and continued with a melancholy expression on his face.
"There are two offices that have fallen, which two I think you should know."
"What! Those two offices are down! Is the message reliable? Not kidding? Lin Shaorong couldn't believe it and questioned it.
"The news is accurate, and the old guy also came back from the center to confirm with me."
Old man Yu affirmed his words, which also made Lin Shaorong completely believe in the accuracy of the news.
"No, we haven't opened for three years, and we've been open for three years, but the two offices on Center Street have a lot more commissions than us, and the degree of completion is also one of the best, how can it fall." Lin Shaorong looked puzzled.
"That's what I'm talking to the old guy about, and I think it has something to do with the recent rise of the academy." Shaking the cigarette butt, the old man Yu expressed his opinion.
Lin Shaorong's mind began to recall, piecing together clues and analyzing.
"Although our area is not far from the city center, most of the residents have moved out because of the previous incident, and the surrounding area is blocked, and the entrance and exit are only one road from Center Street to here, so compared to people from other areas, we have to take a long detour to our side."
"And if they don't take into account our offices in the center street, then there are only those two, and I think it will be difficult to seize the market of those two offices even if the major colleges set up their own commissioning departments and open them to the public."
"You're right, so that's what makes me weird. In order to allow different world protectors to play a good role in the inside and outside of the world, the alliance allowed us to set up this kind of private office to help people in need solve their difficulties. ”
After the old man finished smoking the third cigarette, he looked at the cigarette box and withdrew the hand that wanted to take the cigarette.
Put away the cigarette case, take out a pipe from the drawer, stuff it into the tobacco and light it again.
"So if the alliance wants to suppress our firms, it probably won't use the hands of the academy to steal our business, but those two firms happen to be not far from several colleges, so I guess so." Old man Yu held a pipe in his hand, looked at the message in his hand, and said slowly.
Lin Shaorong stood up on crutches and said:
"It's useless for us to speculate here, I think we can go to investigate and investigate, and it is the right thing to do to grasp the information as soon as possible."
Old man Yu looked at Lin Shaorong with a grin and said, "Just your ghost? Let's not go through this troubled water, you better heal your body injuries. ”
"It doesn't matter if I'm injured, and it doesn't prevent me from investigating." Lin Shaorong was a little unconvinced.
Old man Yu put away the grinning expression on his face and turned serious, looked at Lin Shaorong with sharp eyes and said, "If you kid don't have a long memory, then I will make you suffer a little this time." ”
Seeing Old Man Yu showing such majesty, Lin Shaorong knew that he might be willful again, calmed down and said, "I know, I will cherish my body, then I'll go up first." ”
Lin Shaorong's answer satisfied the old man Yu, the expression on his face relaxed again, and the corners of his mouth curled up and smiled: "Well, it's good that you know, go quickly, that old guy from Tong Shengshan is still waiting for you." ”
Lin Shaorong nodded, and also took the elevator upstairs.
Looking at the empty store, Old Man Yu also shook his head and smiled bitterly and sighed:
"It seems that the rest of the day will not be easy, I don't know how long this area will have to be blocked."
Turning his head to look out the window, the streets were deserted and uninhabited, and even with such good weather in the sun, the area seemed to be poor and remote.
When I went upstairs to the room full of instruments and research equipment, Tong Lao was wearing a white coat and holding tools, analyzing the research content on the side.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tong Lao stopped his movements and said slowly, "You sit down first." ”
Lin Shaorong, who was standing at the door, heard Tong Lao's words, so he found a chair on the side of the room and sat down.
Seeing that Tong Lao didn't stop, Lin Shaorong was not easy to disturb, he knew that the other party might not want to give him a good face, and if he spoke first, he might also anger Tong Lao.
After a while, Tong Lao finished what he was doing, took off his eyepiece and slowly turned around.
First walked to the side, took off the white coat and hung it on the floating hanger, and then picked up the pot and poured a glass of water on the table next to him.
Looking at Lin Shaorong, Tong Shengshan said, "What do you want to drink, water or drink?" ”
Hearing the question, Lin Shaorong also responded:
"Coke, thank you Tong Lao."
Tong Lao nodded, picked up a cup and pot again, and pressed it, and the cup was instantly filled with Coke.
walked to Lin Shaorong's side, sat down and handed the Coke to Lin Shaorong.
Lin Shaorong was refreshed after taking a sip, a cold feeling came to his heart, and the restless mood in his heart was also relieved a little.
After taking a sip of the water cup, Tong Lao put the water cup down and said:
"How do you feel this time?"
Lin Shaorong pursed his lips, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Tong Lao, touched his nose with his hand and thought for a long time before saying:
"When that man fights me, I can't control the desire to match him, my heart keeps pushing me to fight that person with all my might, I know this power is uncontrollable, but I still want to try, now I can feel a little bit of artistic conception every time, I feel that if I can catch it, maybe I can control myself."
After hearing this, Tong Lao also picked up the water cup and drank another sip of water, his face did not have too many waves, and after the water in the cup was drunk, Tong Lao said:
"With your current physical fitness, it is difficult for you to grasp the so-called artistic conception, although I don't understand it very well, but I think it is difficult for you to do it, this is not a blow to you but is telling you not to blindly move forward, you should look back, maybe the road you have traveled is more meaningful than the road you have not walked."
Listening to Tong Lao's words, Lin Shaorong also frowned, and while playing with the quilt in his hand, he looked at his figure in the quilt and fell into contemplation.
"There are thousands of roads, but you can choose only one, not only the end, but also the unfinished business, as well as the scenery around you, once you miss it may not be able to see it again, you should stop and look at the hardships you have paid, to recall, to feel, and then to summarize, although you have been doing this, but not doing well."
Tong Lao spoke again, this time directly pointing out Lin Shaorong's shortcomings and mistakes.
Lin Shaorong got up, walked to the table next to him, picked up the pot on the table and added another cup of Coke to the cup.
One bite was poured into the stomach, and with an ahhhh
Putting down the cup in his hand, Lin Shaorong already had the answer in his heart at this moment, and he realized his mistake.
Walking back to his seat and sitting down, Lin Shaorong said:
"It's that I'm too anxious, I thought that as long as I insisted, with my fighting spirit and spirit can help me go faster on this road, but I didn't know that I made a mistake, I didn't take every step in a down-to-earth way, even if I reached the end, I didn't leave my deep footprints behind, the wind blew the footprints away, and my journey was broken like a cup in my hand."
After hearing this, Tong Lao also smiled, the tense expression on his face was also relaxed, and when he looked at Lin Shaorong again, his eyes were also gentle, and he was no longer worried at this moment, he knew that the person in front of him had grown up a little more.
"You kid, this time it's a long memory, from now on give me to go to the back to start the training task, in view of the mistake you made this time, the training task is doubled, oh no, ten times, I won't let you have a good rest, of course, and studying, you should be mentally prepared this summer."
After speaking, Tong Lao also smiled, and the previous anxiety in his heart also dissipated, and he stood up and walked to the back room.
Lin Shaorong was also overjoyed when he heard it, knowing that Tong Lao had forgiven him, he swept away the previous haze, stood up and followed Tong Lao on crutches.
Coming to the back room, this is the training room.
There are all kinds of exercise equipment, and there are many equipment to strengthen physical training, and next to it is the gravity room, in which Lin Shaorong will conduct training to strengthen physical fitness and physique.
Further ahead is the actual combat site, which is full of various technological dummies, each of which is made by a simulator, and there is also a miniature space venue, which is a drill to help Lin Shaorong improve his combat experience and face various emergencies.
There is also an arsenal in the room, which stores all kinds of props and weapons, and Lin Shaorong will study and make them in the arsenal if he has nothing to do after training.
In addition to these, there is also a practice room with various wooden stakes, as well as various books, among which there is a light curtain displayed on the wall, on which are the diagram of the meridians of the human body and the diagram of the structure of the human body, as well as some knowledge about qi and moves.
Lin Shaorong learned various ancient martial arts in it, mastered the essence of the body's meridians and acupoints, and developed moves against the enemy, and often meditated and practiced calmly in it.
The walls of the practice room can withstand extremely strong destructive force, which can also allow Lin Shaorong to show his skills inside to test the results of training, but someone also needs to be supervised in this process.
After the two entered, Tong Lao came to the console on the side, pressed a panel to activate the entire room, the whole room was brightly illuminated, and the equipment collectively began to operate.
The panel was mobilized again, activating a beam of light, which was used to pass items in the realm.
The beam disappeared, leaving a technology box in place, Tong Lao activated and opened the box, and Lin Shaorong looked inside.
Inside is a set of suppressors that are different from those worn on the body before.
Tong Lao said: "Since your previous set has been damaged, then you can wear this set now, this set of suppressors is newly developed by me, and it has passed the test and actual combat test, you can see how it is." ”
Hearing this, Lin Shaorong also had a little expectation in his heart, and took out the suppressor and unfolded it.
First, he stroked it and felt the temperature of the entire set of suppressors, and after carefully checking it, Lin Shaorong felt that this set of suppressors was quite extraordinary.
