Chapter 213: The Mysterious Father
Due to the notice of the school holiday, Wang Tao stayed in his room and slept all afternoon.
He is not the kind of student who likes to study, so naturally he doesn't really turn on the computer in the room for online classes, so as soon as he gets home at noon and finishes lunch, he immediately goes into the room and falls asleep. However, for some reason, he still took out the books he should have, flipped to the pages full of notes, and turned on the computer to play online classes.
When it was almost four o'clock, Wang Tao just woke up, he stretched, sat up, opened the door, and wanted to go to the refrigerator to get some fruit to eat. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he was stunned.
On the couch in the hall sat a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and forties, with short clean and concise hair, a blue lounge suit, and black-rimmed glasses, who looked quite young compared to other middle-aged men, staring intently at the TV screen, faintly giving people a sense of extreme concentration.
"Dad, when did you come back?" Wang Tao was a little surprised.
"Oh, it's been a while since I was back." When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned his eyes to his son and asked, "Why didn't you go to class today?" โ
Wang Tao replied: "That's right, because of the recent disappearance of students, classes have been suspended for a few days, and we have been allowed to take online classes at home." โ
After speaking, Wang Tao also pointed to the computer turned on in the room, on which a video was playing, and the video was the teacher lecturing, and he could also hear some sounds of the lecture and the sound of problem discussion.
"I see." The middle-aged man said, "I haven't been home for a month and a half, speaking of which, son, how are you studying lately?" โ
"Don't worry, Dad, I've been in pretty good shape lately, my grades have risen by more than 50 in my grade, and even the teacher has praised me in class." Wang Tao said a little proudly.
A relieved smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Really? That's really good, it's rare for my son to work so hard for this time, it just so happens that my dad is free tonight, how about cooking you a big meal? โ
Wang Tao cheered loudly.
In fact, middle-aged men also know their son's learning situation, often fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and he has never made much progress from elementary school to now. This time there has been such a big leap in results, and he, as a father, is naturally very happy. After all, since his son was a child, he often didn't go home, even if it was a few months, he didn't necessarily have the opportunity to go home to meet, and his wife died early, so he didn't have extra time to spend with his son, he actually felt very guilty.
"By the way, is the living expenses enough recently? If it's not enough, Dad will give you more calls. The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and asked.
Wang Tao shook his head, in fact, he can receive a lot of living expenses every month, his father is very busy with work, but the salary is not a lot, so much money can save more than half in addition to eating, which is more than enough, where will it be enough.
However, after so many years, he only knew that his father was busy with work, but he never knew what his father did. Moreover, for as long as he can remember, he only remembers that his mother died early, his father was often away from home, and he did not have many friends when he was a child, so that he did not feel very lonely. However, whenever he asked his father what he did, he would always prevaricate on the grounds that he was too young to know much. When asked about his mother, his father seemed to be a different person, his eyes became very stern, and he chased him away in a strong tone. However, his father often cares about his life and study, even if he is busy with work, he will come home to celebrate his birthday on his birthday, and he will also give him New Year's money, which also makes Wang Tao afraid and love his father.
A sumptuous meal was quickly prepared, and father and son feasted on it.
"Son, your academic performance has been improving rapidly recently, have you found any way to study?"
Wang Tao shook his head: "No, it's because the boss helped me tutor recently." โ
"Boss?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "Is he your classmate?" โ
"Yes, there is a pair of siblings in our class this month, and they are both studying very well. Especially the boy sitting next to me, on the first day, he solved the problem that even the teacher had to explain for more than ten minutes, and he was able to get a full score even on the most difficult set of test papers before. Wang Tao said, "During this time, I begged him to help me with tutoring, and my grades were raised." โ
The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully: "Then what is the personality of your classmate?" โ
"This ...... At first he was very cold to many people, but later we got to know each other. He always sleeps well in class, but he can quickly answer the teacher's questions, and even come up with new ideas that even the teacher doesn't know. In this monthly exam, he was one point short of a full score in all subjects, do you say it's amazing? โ
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "You just said that they are a pair of sisters and brothers, but what about his sister?" โ
"His sister is just like him, she doesn't answer anyone but her brother, she wears a mask when she goes to school, and we still don't know what she looks like."
Listening to his son's answer, the middle-aged man's brows suddenly furrowed, and his face became very ugly.
"What's wrong Dad?"
Only then did the middle-aged man react, recovered his face, and said, "Oh, it's nothing, just listening to your description, I thought of a friend's son." Xiao Tao, this friend you made this time is good, you can invite him to sit at home if you have the opportunity. โ
Wang Tao nodded.
At this time, the mobile phone placed on the side suddenly rang, and the middle-aged man immediately picked up the mobile phone and pressed the call button, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes became extremely shocked. After a while, he said "got it" and immediately hung up. No one noticed, his breathing became very rapid, and his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
"I'm sorry son, dad is leaving now."
"Is it because of work?"
"Yes, there is a sudden urgent task on the leader's side, I have to leave now, son, remember to study hard during this time, Dad will try to find time to come back."
Wang Tao nodded, and didn't say anything, many times before, my father was like this, he left in a hurry after eating, it seemed that he was very busy with work, and he was very sensible and didn't ask much, because even if he asked, he wouldn't get any results.
โฆโฆ
The middle-aged man changed into a more formal outfit, put on sunglasses, and drove quickly to a certain place.
After a while, the car stopped in some secluded alley. The middle-aged man stretched out his left hand, and above the palm, there was a strange purple light flickering.
"You've finally come to the door......" Looking at the light in his hand, he took a deep breath, adjusted his state, took out a black mask from his handbag, put it on his face, pushed the car door and walked out, entering an inconspicuous broomroom.
After entering the broomroom, he pulled the straw that had been laid on the floor, and a lid appeared in front of him. After pulling open the lid and entering a deep alley through the sewer, the middle-aged man stopped in front of one of the dilapidated buildings, and said loudly, "Since you are here, don't avoid me anymore." โ
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in a black cloak appeared in front of him.
"It's been a long time." The figure said, "More than two hundred years later, if you hadn't reappeared in my field of vision during this time, I would have thought you would have died in that fierce battle." Should I call you Wang Lixin, a former secret member of the Nine Divisions of National Security, or should I call you Thunder, my dear subordinate. โ
A hint of shock flashed in Wang Lixin's eyes, but he regained his composure in a second: "Whatever Lord Langya calls me, however, I am no longer the soul eater under you, so the latter title will be waived." Now I'm just an ordinary person. โ
"There's dark blood in your veins, and it's useless if you don't admit it. But I didn't expect that my once proudest subordinate would be willing to be with low-powered humans. Langya said, "The spirit master's approach has already caused our undead to lose some of their strength, and if we continue like this, our vein will inevitably encounter a crisis of destruction." Yang Mo and Wuying have already done something to us, I hope you can come back and help me. โ
Wang Lixin shook his head: "That's going to disappoint you, I can't do this." โ
"What, you're scared?" Langya sneered and asked, "More than two hundred years have passed, are you still immersed in the fear that the shadowless shadow brought to you back then?" โ
"I have long been reluctant to mention the grievances of the past, and now how the soul master and the undead develop have nothing to do with me. I've already said that now I'm just an ordinary person, and after so many years of fighting, it's time to rest. Wang Lifa's face did not change, "And in that battle, don't you all think that I am dead?" In that case, just treat me as if I was a dead man, so why bother me again. The undead nowadays, it's nothing to have more than me or less than me, is it? โ
Langya: "This time is different from the past, the death of the shadow has greatly reduced our combat power, and the undead must be strengthened now. If it had been before, I wouldn't have forced you. But now, don't you really care about your son's life? โ
Rumble!
The terrifying dark power exploded from Wang Lixin's body, with him as the center, countless cracks appeared under his feet, and even the surrounding buildings were shattered under the shockwave caused by the dark power.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for more than two hundred years, and your strength seems to have increased a lot!" A barrier automatically appeared in front of Langya's eyes, blocking the impact of the dark power.
On Wang Lixin's arm, several purple lines appeared at this moment, his hands gathered dark abilities, and it seemed that they could erupt at any time, and the surrounding air currents continued to oscillate under his influence, causing ripples in circles, and there was also a trace of anger in his pupils: "I don't care what you want to do, but if you dare to touch a single hair of my son, even if it is death, I will make you doomed!" โยท
