Chapter 251—Asgard and the Book of Wisdom (20)
In winter, Christianfeld is completely enveloped in night at six o'clock, and through the glass windows you can see the painting-like streetscape, the old town is more matched by the round moonlight, the dim lights reflect the blue velvet background, and the towering spire pierces the sky, like a paintbrush to paint the sky.
Bai Xiuxiu sat at one end of the table, the moonlight pouring on her golden waves and white Tai Chi Dragon Army dress, so the whole picture flowed in Cheng Mo's field of vision, like a movie with a soundtrack.
Cheng Mo took Xie Minyun's hand and looked at Bai Xiuxiu in a military uniform, his heart was warm, and he felt that if Chen Shaohua was replaced by Teacher Shen at this moment, then his life would be completely complete. He rushed to feel guilty for his thoughts, just as he would not be sorry for liking both Nietzsche and Wittgenstein.
Cheng Mo glanced sideways at Xie Minyun, feeling calm at the moment, he knew that he liked Xie Minyun more, and his feelings for Bai Xiuxiu were very complicated, but he had to admit that it was more of a possessiveness. Cheng Mo knows that this kind of feeling is very selfish, he has always been willing to admit his selfishness, and he has no secret of it. For him, there is not only one choice in life, nor is there only one view of love.
"Cheng Mo came very quickly!" Bai Xiuxiu turned her head to look at Cheng Mo and smiled, as if the scene in the afternoon had never happened.
Cheng Mo stared at Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, and replied pretending to be casual: "Well, it was only two floors apart. Cheng Mo couldn't observe any emotion from Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, he thought to himself: This woman in front of him is really amazing, she is really exquisite, which not only gives Chen Shaohua face, but also does not let himself be completely disappointed.
It's just that Cheng Mo couldn't guess whether Bai Xiuxiu chose to do this because he didn't want Cheng Mo and Chen Shaohua to have a gap between this operation, or because he cared about him. Cheng Mo felt that this was a puzzle that he wanted to solve but was difficult to solve.
"Sit down, it's cold, and the steak won't taste good when it's cold." After a pause, Bai Xiuxiu told Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun to pay attention to the fact that the iron plate on which the steak was placed was relatively hot, gentle and ironing, at this moment she was quiet and elegant, with the aura of a noble female master.
Cheng Mo said hello to Chen Shaohua and sat down, this two-person room was quite spacious, the desk placed by the window was moved out a little, and the four people sitting around the rectangular desk did not look particularly cramped. It's just that the area of the desk is not large, Bai Xiuxiu and Chen Shaohua are sitting at the far end of the desk, and Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun are sitting at the near end, and their feet are together.
Fortunately, there were not many dishes, only four small portions of steak, vegetable salad, a few Black Forest cakes, cranberry martinis and cream pudding, and the packaging was printed in Chinese, which seemed to have been shipped from China.
The dishes are far from sumptuous, but in the current situation, such a big meal with steak can't be eaten even by Xie Guangling. And the reason why Chen Shaohua was approved was because he was about to go to Asgard, and everyone knew what Chen Shaohua and Cheng Mo had to face when they entered Asgard, so this was equivalent to a meal of severed heads.
Although entering Asgard did not cut off his life, he cut off the path of the Chosen One. For the vast majority of the Chosen One, this is a punishment second only to death. (To explain the previous premise, the gladiator is promoted to the Chosen One after completing the ultimate trial.) When the carrier is killed, a certain amount of experience points is lost according to the level. When the XP is less than the required XP of level 33, it is considered to be downgraded, and after the downgrade, you need to re-upgrade to level 33 and pass the Final Trial again, and each carrier only has three chances to do the Final Trial. In addition, experience points can be traded, but three-quarters of each trade is deducted. )
And the reason why Xie Guangling chose Chen Shaohua is not only because Chen Shaohua's strength is the highest-ranked Taiji Dragon Chosen One outside the top 500, but also because Chen Shaohua made a mistake in Greece to rescue Chen Fang, which can be regarded as giving Chen Shaohua a chance to atone for his crimes.
After Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun sat down, Bai Xiuxiu raised the bright goblet and said with a smile: "Before starting, I wish Captain Chen and Cheng Mo a smooth journey, I hope that the two of them can not only resist the pressure and play their style, but also take back the singer's horn." ”
"With Captain Bai's words, I, Chen Shaohua, must be dreaming of it...... Sleep all night and strive to get the artifact. Chen Shaohua was a little nervous, but he still performed very imposingly, drinking all the sweet wine in the crystal cup, which was as heroic as drinking Moutai at 53 degrees.
Cheng Mo didn't say a word, but complained in his heart that Chen Shaohua, who had the same position as Bai Xiuxiu but was just one level lower than the Taiji Dragon, would be timid when facing Bai Xiuxiu, like a junior brother who had never been in love, and by the way, he also despised Chen Shaohua's crepe why he didn't recite the "Teacher Table", and then he and Xie Minyun raised their glasses with expressionless faces and silently drank the wine in the glass.
Bai Xiuxiu put down the cup, smiled, first looked at Cheng Mo, then looked at Chen Shaohua, and said, "Captain Chen, don't forget that our Taiji Dragon still has the admonition of 'sincere unity', and we must complete this task with Cheng Mo." ”
"Of course. Chen Shaohua said solemnly.
Bai Xiuxiu picked up the knife and fork, and said while cutting the steak: "Cheng Mo, this kid is good at everything, but he is not so easy to get along with, so please ask Captain Chen to be more tolerant." ”
Chen Shaohua smiled "haha", looked at Xie Minyun and then at Cheng Mo and said: "The children are all married, but I am not married yet, thinking of this, I am still quite sad as a single dog....."
Cheng Mo heard Bai Xiuxiu say that he was still a child, and heard Chen Shaohua's meaning again, staring at the burnt brown steak and frowning, he gently inhaled the taste of black pepper and rosemary, cut the steak, and suppressed the urge to speak.
Bai Xiuxiu ignored Chen Shaohua's stubble that he was single, and said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with whether he is married or not, he is only eighteen years old....."
"What a hero! Eighteen years old not only became the chosen one..... can also clear the customs with S+'s evaluation, it's amazing....." Chen Shaohua also heard Bai Xiuxiu's love for Cheng Mo, so he did not hesitate to praise him.
Cheng Mo didn't want to pay attention to Chen Shaohua, but he didn't want to create disharmony at this time, so Bai Xiuxiu's scheming was in vain, so he held a knife and fork and said politely: "Captain Chen is really a winner, I can achieve S+ results first thanks to Uncle Li, who handed me over to Captain Bai." After a pause, Cheng Mo stood up and looked at Bai Xiuxiu, raised his glass and said, "Secondly, I have to thank Sister Bai, if it weren't for Sister Bai's careful cultivation, I wouldn't have it today, so I salute Sister Bai with a ......."
Cheng Mo deliberately pulled Li Jiting and Bai Xiuxiu together, and attributed his efforts to the two of them, Bai Xiuxiu knew Cheng Mo's thoughts at once, but she didn't mean to debunk it, but she didn't stand up, she sat upright like an elder and clinked a glass with Cheng Mo, and said with a pun: "You didn't live up to my expectations." ”
When Chen Shaohua heard Cheng Mo say this, he was really fooled, and when Cheng Mo and Bai Xiuxiu put down their cups, they stammered and asked, "That.... That one..... White team .... And Lee .... Team Leader Li knows him well?"
Bai Xiuxiu put the heel of the high-heeled shoe on Cheng Mo's upper, and smiled while stepping on it: "It's quite familiar." ”
"I heard that Captain Li likes to soak in ..... Flirting with girls, I don't know if it's true?" Chen Shaohua said such impolite words as "pickled girls" in a hurry.
"Team Leader Li likes to show mercy everywhere!" Bai Xiuxiu laughed, cutting the steak in the iron plate fiercely, and the sharp steak knife rubbed against the iron plate to make a "gurgling" sound.
The pain in his heart was transmitted from the instep of his foot through his spine to Cheng Mo's brain, even if he had been prepared, his face kept twitching, Cheng Mo knew that something was wrong, and immediately broke his wrist and pretended to accidentally touch the still hot iron plate.
"What's wrong?" Xie Minyun and Bai Xiuxiu asked at the same time.
Cheng Mo reluctantly smiled, put down the fork and raised his right hand, showing a slightly bulging red mark on his little finger and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally touched the iron plate just now, and it burned ......"
Xie Minyun immediately put down the knife and fork and asked, "Do you want to flush it with cold water?"
Cheng Mo shook his head: "It's okay." ”
Xie Minyun stood up, walked around from the other side, took Cheng Mo's hand and said, "Let's rush!"
Cheng Mo endured the faint pain in his instep and got up and followed Xie Minyun to the bathroom, after entering, Xie Minyun turned on the faucet, pulled Cheng Mo's hand over, carefully rinsed the burned place with cold water, and said softly: "It hurts, right?"
"It's fine. ”
"I mean feet. ”
The water was flowing loudly, and the cold swept over the burning wound, Cheng Mo seemed to have been cut by a knife, and his heart suddenly tightened, but he whispered unhurriedly: "Sister Bai is probably dissatisfied with me for pulling her and Uncle Li together." ”
Xie Minyun said noncommittally: "Instructor Bai is so beautiful, if I were a boy, I might like her." ”
"It's beautiful, but I think you're better-looking. At the critical moment, Cheng Molingtai was clear and said without hesitation.
Xie Minyun turned off the faucet, wiped his hands with his own towel first, then took out the tissue from the tissue box on the sink and handed it to Cheng Mo, and when he walked out of the bathroom, he suddenly looked back at Cheng Mo and said lightly: "You men's words are really unbelievable, especially sweet words." ”
Cheng Mo was covered in a cold sweat when Xie Minyun saw this, and he didn't know if Xie Minyun saw anything, but he felt that his daughter-in-law was really powerful, and she was as good as Bai Xiuxiu. But Cheng Mo didn't regret that he was clever and caused the incident just now. He estimated that Xie Minyun would just be cold to him, and Bai Xiuxiu would definitely keep his distance from him.
However, as long as Chen Shaohua can be driven away from Bai Xiuxiu, he thinks that everything is worth it, he doesn't have to be with Bai Xiuxiu, it's just that he is very unhappy that people like Chen Shaohua who are not outstanding enough have any thoughts about Bai Xiuxiu.
Cheng Mo crumpled the paper towel into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket accurately, and then walked out of the bathroom.
This meal didn't last long, and what happened next was lackluster, under the guidance of Bai Xiuxiu, the four of them stopped talking about private matters and discussed the matter of the land of Asgard Ruins, before it was seven o'clock, Bai Xiuxiu said that he wanted to rest early, at this time the snacks on the table had not been eaten, Bai Xiuxiu handed it to Cheng Mo and asked him to bring it back, looking like an elder.
Cheng Mo and Chen Shaohua walked out of Bai Xiuxiu and Xie Minyun's room together, and Chen Shaohua was still chattering about Cheng Mo, Li Jiting and Bai Xiuxiu. This was in Cheng Mo's arms, and he immediately pretended to know nothing and said: "I don't know very well! I only know that Captain Bai opened a cocktail bar in Star City, although the business is not good, it has been maintained, Uncle Li will go there to drink every time he comes to Star City, because Uncle Li also likes cocktails....." Cheng Mo hammered his palm with his fist, as if he suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Uncle Li is best at mixing gin......
Chen Shaohua's face became darker and darker, and became heavier and heavier, until it was completely dark.
Seeing that Chen Shaohua didn't speak, Cheng Mo pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Captain Chen, don't you like Captain Bai too?"
Cheng's casual "also" made Chen Shaohua's expression embarrassed, and he laughed dryly twice and said, "It's no such thing." At this time, he happened to be on the third floor, and Chen Shaohua immediately said, "I've arrived." ”
After speaking, Chen Shaohua didn't say "goodbye" to Cheng Mo, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the corridor.
Cheng Mo looked at Chen Shaohua's back very gentlemanly and said, "Captain Chen, see you tomorrow." ”
Chen Shaohua didn't look back, just waved his hand.
The next day was another busy day, in the morning Cheng Mo went to a small meeting, Taijilong invited a few experts from China to study the Gnostic sect to teach Cheng Mo and Chen Shaohua, but they had not yet entered the land of Asgardian ruins, there was no more detailed information, and the experts could only popularize some common sense of the Gnostic sect to Cheng Mo and Chen Shaohua. These are all things that Cheng Mo has known for a long time, but he didn't feel impatient, and went through these things again very seriously.
In the afternoon, a mobilization meeting was held, and everyone gathered in the hall, and the meeting was presided over by Xie Guangling himself. First of all, Bai Xiuxiu announced that the entire Taiji Dragon would send one hundred and twenty new students into the land of Asgardian Ruins, and the list was read out by Bai Xiuxiu according to the grouping of ten people in a class, twenty people in a platoon, and sixty people in a company.
Everyone who was called by name was very excited, and when he heard his name, Fu Yuanzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, breathed a long sigh of relief, and whispered to Cheng Mo who was standing next to him: "I almost thought I couldn't get in!"
Cheng Mo didn't speak, standing on the other side of Fu Yuanzhuo, Chen Fang, who couldn't enter Asgard because there was no Uloporos, sneered: "Your level is so low, how can you not enter?"
Fu Yuanzhuo wanted to say something to refute but couldn't say anything, so he could only stare at Chen Fang.
Chen Fang's expression was contemptuous, and it wasn't until Cheng Mo turned his head to look at him that he snorted coldly and avoided Cheng Mo's gaze.
After Bai Xiuxiu announced the list of 120 people, Xie Guangling announced the squad leader, platoon commander, company commander and deputy company commander, among whom many of them were acquaintances of Cheng Mo, such as Du Leng and Cai Shufeng were both deputy company commanders, and Gu Feifei was only a platoon commander, which made Gu Feifei couldn't help but lower his head and whispered two words to himself.
Until the announcement of the company commander Fu Yuanzhuo did not hear Cheng Mo's name, he asked with a regretful face: "Aren't you and senior sister going in?"
Cheng Mo shook his head, Fu Yuanzhuo was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Cheng Mo meant, and was about to ask in a whisper, when he heard Xie Guangling, who was standing at the front of the hall, say loudly: "Deputy Team Leader-Cheng Mo." ”
When the name of "Cheng Mo" came out of Xie Guangling's mouth, the new students standing in the hall first looked at each other, then broke the silence and were in an uproar, and they all cast their eyes on Cheng Mo who was standing in the first-year phalanx.
Cheng Mo didn't seem to feel that he had become the focus at all, and looked at Bai Xiuxiu in the distance expressionlessly.
Fu Yuanzhuo grabbed Cheng Mo's arm, opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but say loudly: "Damn..... You're the deputy team leader?????"
Xie Guangling looked in Cheng Mo's direction and shouted, "Quiet!"
The entire noisy hall was instantly quiet, and everyone suppressed the incredulity in their hearts, staring at Xie Guangling silently. Of course, Fu Yuanzhuo didn't dare to speak anymore, he didn't dare to turn his head, and looked ahead with a serious face.
Xie Guangling looked around and said with a straight face: "The team leader is Captain Chen Shaohua Chen. Xie Guangling walked to the side from the center of the front of the hall, and said lightly: "I won't repeat the discipline, it will be sent by Nuwa to everyone's mobile phones, and Captain Chen will lead everyone to the stage to take the oath!"
Chen Shaohua stepped forward, first said a passionate and high-spirited speech, and then led all the Taijilong members to raise their right fists in front of the banner and solemnly sweared: "Resolutely obey orders, strictly abide by discipline, be brave and tenacious, and not afraid of sacrifice......"
Finally, the oath ended with a deafening and blood-boiling shout from all the members.
Chen Shaohua walked back to the team, Xie Guangling returned to the center, and said solemnly: "I hope that all the members, keep in mind the mission, show the spirit of our Taiji Dragon in the land of Asgard Ruins, and strive to be crazy but not chaotic, relaxed and orderly, so that other Chosen One organizations know the strength of our Taiji Dragon." I hope that everyone will work together to promote the prestige of our country!"
"Now the Asgardian Combat Regiment is out of line!"
The sound of neat and vast footsteps echoed in the hall, Cheng Mo looked left and right inadvertently, everyone's face was full of awe-inspiring and solemn emotions, and excitement and progress were overflowing. Cheng Mo found that the sense of ritual was really important.
"It's December 18, 2020, everyone will check the time, and then each class and platoon will organize a small meeting on their own, return to the dormitory at 22:45, and activate the carrier at 22:45 to set off for Asgard!" Xie Guangling stopped, looked around again, and shouted: "What is our goal!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory! For the motherland! There is no way back but victory!"
The cry of Xiao Kill rose to the sky......
Standing in the queue just opened his mouth, he didn't shout slogans like the others, and when he was concentrating, Cheng Mo heard the shouts of the Japanese people in the distance: "てんのうへいか、ばんざい!!" (His Majesty the Emperor X, onboard!)
