General Ember
And Jin Si, who hadn't seen Qi Wu for a few days, fell into a dream again one night after returning from Yuanfu Temple.
When Jin Si realized that he was dreaming again, he reappeared on the lonely and solemn hall.
The candlesticks in the corners, the light veils above his head, and the women on the high seats he could never see clearly.
Everything is so familiar.
What did he hear before the last dream ended?
"βThe hall is the general of Ziwei's order."
Yes, that's it.
This time Jin Si heard it clearly.
The woman sitting upright on the high platform seemed to be calling him.
However, before he could figure out this treacherous dream, Jin Si heard his own voice.
"I heard that Lord Priest is the most gifted priest in a thousand years, and a pair of discerning eyes know the heavens and the fate, do you also know that I will come here today?"
The low and solemn tone is the indelible golden iron horse on the man's body, which has undergone the baptism of countless battlefields.
In this solemn temple, he unceremoniously revealed his evil spirit and danger.
At this time, Jin Si realized that he was just a bystander.
He could only watch as this absurd, treacherous dream unfolded.
The hall was empty, and the only thing in the air was the faint candle flames.
After a long time, the voice of the woman on the high platform came from above: "Know." β
The general seemed to laugh a little.
"Then the priest, do you know that at the Lantern Festival banquet fifteen years ago, you saved me from the hands of the officers and soldiers."
This time, the priest on the high platform was noticeably more silent.
"-I don't know."
From the moment she was born, the priest was destined to live in the temple, where she read the scriptures and learned the rituals...... Everything was done in preparation for becoming a priest in the future.
The moment she officially became a priest and announced to the world, she took on a heavy responsibility.
All the roads she has traveled over the years have been revered and admired by the people, and the priests have changed the fate of many people through their discerning eyes.
But it didn't change her.
The general was not annoyed, he laughed.
His laughter echoed in the empty hall.
"Your Excellency Priest, remember this time, the Great General Sember, the person you once saved, is about to overthrow the royal power."
The man's undisguised ambition and desire were all exposed to the priest.
Perhaps he had forgotten that the temple was the greatest reliance of royal power, but he still dared to speak in front of the priests, the most authoritative priests in the temple.
Perhaps he hadn't forgotten that he had deliberately uttered this sentence in order to test the attitude of the priest.
However, the priest on the high platform did not have any anger or other emotions, she was like a goddess wandering outside the world, looking down on the world with a compassionate and indifferent heart.
"I see."
'Boom! Boom! Boom! β
The sound of crashing again and again, like the sound of drums on the battlefield, and like the irrepressible sound of heartbeat.
Jin Si woke up from the darkness again.
He was still immersed in the dream he had just had, but when he woke up, the already vague dream was only a little left after he woke up.
He whispered a name: "Ember ......"
The name of the great general.
Jin Si really couldn't understand the dream that had been playing in his mind like a drama.
He was just about to get up and get out of bed when his phone, which was placed on the bedside table, vibrate.
He took it and took a look, it was his uncle Gu Huan calling.
"Uncle."
"Jin Si, come to 77 places."
Hearing this name, Jin Si was silent for a moment: "...... Be. β
*
The number of elevators kept going down and eventually stopped on the minus seven floors.
Jin Si walked out, and along the way, many staff members passed by with sophisticated instruments in their hands, and when they saw Jin Si appear, they all stopped and watched him go to the depths of 77.
Gu Huan's office is surrounded by semi-circular transparent glass, and below is a wide underground space, where countless computer equipment are running and monitoring.
Jin Si walked to the glass window and casually lowered his head to look down.
Gu Huan walked out with a smile.
"Yo, here it is."
Gu Huan, who is already in his forties, is still young, and the years have not seen any traces on his face, but it has only added a bit of elegance and calm temperament to him.
However, the eyes under the glasses were shining with a sharp light, and he swept over Jin Si and said with a smile: "You seem to be too relaxed lately. β
Jin Si turned his head and heard Gu Huan say to himself: "Or is it because of the observation object you found for yourself?" β
Seeing Jin Si's eyes shining and revealing an inexplicable look, the smile on the corner of Gu Huan's mouth remained unchanged: "You know the rules of 77 places, and it is already a violation of the regulations to find an abnormality but not report it and act without authorization." β
Jin Si's expression remained unchanged, and he even gave him a suggestion seriously: "Then you call the police?" β
Gu Huan's elegant expression froze.
He glanced at Jin Si angrily, "If I call the police to arrest my nephew, then tomorrow will become the joke of the year in Huaguo." β
Jin Si shrugged his shoulders and walked over and sat down on the sofa across from him.
"That girl, how is she doing?"
"I don't want to say it."
Gu Huan choked, and couldn't help but threaten this nephew who didn't eat oil and salt: "You have to know that I have the right to let you write an observation report." β
Who knew that his words were just joking attracted Jin Si's gloomy and angry gaze: "I won't let her become a file." β
His voice was low, but his tone was more serious than ever.
Gu Huan was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the gloomy anger in Jin Si's eyes had already dissipated, as if it was just an illusion just now.
But Gu Huan knew that it was not an illusion.
"Don't be nervous."
He exhaled, "Your mother, your sister, and they are all staring at you and that girl's situation now, how dare I do anything, I just want to find out." β
After saying this, he smiled: "Also, I have to thank you and the girl for taking your mother's attention away." β
Jin Si: "........."
He didn't want that attention at all.
Jin Si scratched his eyebrows, "She learns quickly and has integrated into this world." β
It's just that she still retains her original character, immature, fresh and curious about everything, and tolerant of everything in this world.
Everyone has greed, but her greed seems to be shallow as if she can give up at any time, but how can there be people in this world who have no desires and no wants?
Gu Huan looked at Jin Si's slightly distressed eyebrows with interest, and he was very surprised in his heart.
"It seems that your mother is right, and the appearance of this girl has changed you."
Jin Si frowned, "What." β
It seemed that what Gu Huan said was very ridiculous.
He obviously hasn't changed anything.
