Chapter Seventy-Four: The Doorbell
Back home, Chen Xiao received a total of two messages.
The first one is from a girlfriend, in which the girlfriend asked her to go to the capital next Tuesday to meet her parents and grandfather.
Different from the previous meeting of Zhou Yuxuan's father Zhou Jun in Rongcheng, this meeting was very formal, and in terms of the process of marriage, this is the process of the son-in-law coming to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Chen Xiao didn't have any reason to refuse, he agreed to come down and booked the ticket in advance.
For the mysterious Zhou family, the fate awakened person whose abilities are comparable to those of the prophet, Chen Xiao also has a trace of curiosity in his heart.
Regarding many questions on his body, Chen Xiao has always hoped to get a correct and affirmative answer - and all this may be answered by Grandpa Zhou.
The second piece of news is that he has not contacted the high school class president for a long time to invite him to the class reunion tomorrow Saturday, and there will be about a dozen people present, all of whom are classmates who get along well in the first year of high school and work locally in Rongcheng.
In my memory, he studied in Qiaozhong High School, and his grades gradually regressed after choosing liberal arts in his second year of high school, as if he had lost his ability to learn.
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and then chose to agree, in order to confirm the authenticity of his memory, he planned to go back to his hometown, and tomorrow's class reunion could also just answer some doubts in his heart.
At this point, his schedule from today to Tuesday is all arranged.
——
When he came to the study, opened the diary, and confirmed that the diary was still not updated, he gathered his mental strength and recorded what he had seen and heard during this period of time in the diary.
As before, after each page, the contents of the journal mysteriously disappear, like the words being thrown into the trash.
Then, Chen Xiao took advantage of his position to mobilize the Skynet system and found that in the past few months, there had still been no residents reporting a severed hand.
This also means that the "hand" has completely disappeared.
As for the reason for the disappearance of the hand: Chen Xiao is also more inclined to complete some unknown plan, which is most likely arranged for her by the original owner a long time ago.
It's just that there are still too few clues at present, and Chen Xiao can't make any specific judgment.
Why did that woman from Kyushu, a B-class awakened person, commit suicide?
This is another question in Chen Xiao's head.
He belatedly realized that his life experience was most likely not as simple as he imagined.
"Take one step at a time, now I want to live, and anyone who stands in my way will die."
After re-establishing this idea in his mind, Chen Xiao came to the courtyard in front of the door and opened the document that Li Rinshuang had sent him.
Earnestly study the three styles of the Chengying Sword.
Since the real Chengying Sword has been missing for many years in history, the biggest feature of this imitation Chengying Sword is sharpness and concealment, so the three moves of the sword spectrum are all designed according to the characteristics of Chengying.
They are: dreaming, Kaifeng, and Chengying.
Dreaming: A very useful camouflage ability that uses the resonance of an ability to hide the shadow so that it can't be seen by others, and works best at night.
Kaifeng: Strengthens the Amplification skill, after using Kaifeng, the Shadow Bearing Sword becomes sharper and stronger, and the speed at which the ability is consumed is greatly increased, which is suitable for fighting strong enemies and trying to kill them in one hit.
Chengying: The killing move of the Chengying Sword.
In the video, the presenter's clothes are fluttering, there is no wind on his body, he has a chivalrous temperament, the shadow sword in his hand is almost inaudible, and the sword body is faintly glowing with black light, which has a terrifying color.
Then, the demonstrator struck a sword, and the sky darkened, and the sword became invisible again, and the ancient twilight closed silently, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
At the end of the video, it was only half a minute from beginning to end, but Chen Xiao felt a deep shock, although the other party did not reveal too many ability fluctuations, but he was definitely a strong person above the S level.
In a sense, this is another subversion of Chen Xiao's worldview.
He kept telling himself in his heart that this was the real world, and that he had to adapt to this world.
Holding the sword in his right hand, Chen Xiao repeatedly visualized all the movements of the presenter in the video just now, slowly turning in his mind as if he were slowing down.
The alien energy was continuously poured into the Shadow Bearing Sword, causing it to enter the state of opening, and the sword body rippled, and then slowly disappeared, disguised in the twilight.
Then, Chen Xiao felt something in his heart, and he imitated the sword swing of the presenter in the video, and drew an elegant arc with horizontal stabs, swinging at a tall ancient pine tree next to him.
The abilities in the body are running wildly at this moment!
At the same time, there was a slight "click" in the pinna, and the tree shook slightly, but there was no change.
The next moment,
The lush pine canopy falls in a gentle southerly wind, flattening the convex rings and signaling the passage of time.
“……”
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao's pupils shrank.
The power of this sword, the sharpness of this sword, has far exceeded the C-level and has come to the B-level realm.
He could clearly feel that he didn't have any sense of barrier when using the Chengying Sword, as if the sword was every part of his body, which made him feel like a fish in water when using Chengying, and why he could easily cut through Honka.
This is not the first time Chen Xiao has felt this way, and it was also the same feeling last time when he first came into contact with guns, and at that time Chen Xiao attributed it to his talent for learning qualifications.
But what about this time?
Is the same true?
If he is really this kind of genius who is almost like a demon, why was he just an ordinary extras before, why did he not make any noise even after awakening, but just settled in this small banyan city, and was almost ruined by a psychiatrist?
The logical loopholes in this are too big!
"If I'm in a huge chessboard, it's all given to me by a chess player. So the previous me, that is, the original owner, in order to get rid of the chess game-
I hope that I am an ordinary person who no one knows, settle in Banyan City, and spend an ordinary and ordinary life, this is what I wanted to do before, but it obviously doesn't work. ”
"So, I have a second chance under some unknown circumstances, and this time I should not run away from retreating like the original owner, but should be quick to become strong in order to deal with all kinds of accidents that may arise at any time."
Chen Xiao thinks this situation may be the greatest.
Carrying Honka to the garbage dump, Chen Xiao returned to the courtyard.
He took one last look at Honka's rings, sheathed his sword, and returned to his room.
At dawn the next day, Chen Xiao was woken up by an unfamiliar doorbell.
