From beginning to end, the head of the guard didn't talk a word more nonsense to Liu Shubin. And Liu Shubin stood there, not even daring to let out a fart.

It was already dawn, and the hills in the distance were like a mythical monster hidden in the fog, silently opening its bloody mouth, waiting for its prey to approach.

The miserable street lamps are as dim as fireflies, illuminating patches of lonely drifting snow.

After a while, the morning snow became heavier, piercing through the fog and falling silently to the ground, condensing piece by piece, and accumulating piece by piece.

The heavy snow and fog made the entire Yandu lose its vitality.

The end of the year is approaching!

Winter has arrived!

I took a deep breath of the foggy and snowy air, and it was as cold as a knife, and I felt a little sick to my stomach.

The snow in Yandu in the middle of winter should be very clean, but the fog has a strong haze smell!

Touching my firmly bound and thick arms, I subconsciously wrapped my down jacket tightly and couldn't help but shiver.

The gunshot wound on the left arm has been treated. As I expected, it was just a bruise, but the scraping was somewhat severe.

The bullet that hit the ground bounced back and flew into the sky in a diagonal line from my left arm, leaving a blood groove two centimeters deep and seven centimeters long on my left arm.

Now the strength of the anesthetic is subsiding little by little, and the severe pain is also rising.

The wound seemed to be gnawed by ants, and it was like a snake biting, and it hurt so much.

It didn't take long for the pain to spread throughout my arm, and half of my body was tortured like an electric shock, nausea, dizziness, and headaches, and I was in pain to death.

But I couldn't make a sound all night.

My arm hurts a lot, but I'm in a good mood!

With this injury on the arm, you can get at least a month of recuperation.

One month is enough for me to do a lot of things!

"Finished?"

"It's over!"

"How?"

"This kid is quite capable. It's still screaming."

"I didn't ask you that."

"Uh-oh-oh. Sober up to him. Head, it's okay for you to go and see his body and bones. I've never seen anyone like that. If you don't get him here, I'll study it......"

"I suspect he's a cultivator."

"Get out!"

The door opened, and cold air poured in.

The head of the guard walked in but deliberately didn't close the door, staring at me for half a minute: "Can you go?"

I nodded silently.

"Shi Lao wants to see you!"

Walk out behind the head of the guard, stepping on the thick snow through the empty and densely monitored compound.

The captain of the guard, who seemed to be deliberately torturing me, led me around the vast compound, and his pace was so great that I chased him with all my might, and at last I could barely trot to catch up with him.

It took twenty minutes before the head of the guard led me into another compound.

"What did you just see?"

"Nine sentinels. Six sentinels."

"How's this place?"

"Great!"

"Do you know why I showed you the Dark Whistle?"

"I don't know."

"Familiarize yourself with the environment."

When I entered the compound, the two guards who had been waiting for me immediately lined up on my left and right, escorting me around to a two-story old villa.

I don't know what this place is, but I can draw a conclusion from the patchwork of old villas and the many towering trees around them.

Here, it should be a base!

It's a very high-class and secret kind!

The door of the villa opened, and Shi Lao's figure appeared in front of me, waving at me.

Remembering the inexplicable words that the head of the guard had just said to me, I was extremely worried, and I was terrified.

The villa is in the shape of the 80s of the last century, very solemn and old.

The interior is also quite retro.

Sit down in a restaurant with an area of more than 30 square meters, and soon someone brings steaming steamed porridge and bean sauce fritters.

Shi Lao beckoned me to sit down, and when he shouted at me, he scolded Liu Shubin and the nine guards.

Shi Lao also promised me that he must make the nine guards look good, and he must let them give me an explanation.

Otherwise, Shi Lao personally went to block the gate of the Nine Gateguards General Courtyard.

"You've taken the first place in the all-around. What's next?"

"I've got a new assignment here, and I want to transfer you over to work with me."

"Would you like to?"

The conversation between Shi Lao and me began after I nibbled on my second steamed bun.

Shi Lao's words surprised me.

Before doing a big project or a big task, the organization often talks to relevant people and asks. The content of the project task will be informed only after the approval of the other party.

This is the consistent procedure.

What surprised me even more was that the knife catcher of this unknown project turned out to be Shi Lao!

An eighty-eight-year-old peerless warrior like Shi Lao, his life is basically based on health and leisure, and in most cases, the organization will never assign any tasks to Shi Lao.

Especially now in Shi Lao's physical condition.

Unless......

This task is not up to Shi Lao's!

And it can make Shi Lao stick to the task of going into battle with injuries without hesitation......

It must be extraordinary!

Last time, Qiyan came to me and passed Shi Lao's words to me. I didn't expect to have a letter so quickly.

But I can't refuse, let alone accept.

I'm afraid, Shi Lao's project is more difficult than the armillary sphere!

If I say yes, I will still repeat the mistake of jumping from the fire pit to the mountain of knives.

Thinking about it in my heart, I found several reasons to reply to Shi Lao.

The first is the Sun God Needle, the second is the identification center, and the third is my injury.

After listening to my reply, Shi Lao did not say that I would not join, but asked me to recuperate from my injuries, and then asked me to complete the Sun God Needle within the specified time.

The meaning of these two sentences tells me that this project is still in the preparatory stage and that it is still early to be implemented.

But I have to join.

This is equivalent to Shi Lao's hand-picking!

Hearing this, the hanging heart finally fell back to his chest.

As long as I can escape the murder and robbery of the special institute and never decrypt the divine bureau, I will definitely be willing to accept the mission.

The more tasks I take and the more projects I do, the more I can't dig me.

As for the appraisal center, Shi Lao asked me to hand it over to Ma Zhongchao to be in charge.

I started as an appraisal center, and now I have also made achievements, not to mention the daily progress, but millions of net profits a year with my eyes closed.
