Leaving the underground military base, there was a light rain in the sky, but there was no dampness.

Even late at night, the streets are still crowded, and you can feel the most vibrant energy of this young city when you stroll through it, the early breakfast shop owners have begun to wipe down the tables, and the tourists who have been playing all night are still busy taking pictures of the city's scenery, and the sound of unbridled joy can be heard from the flying machines whistling overhead.

On the ground floor of the tall buildings, Jiang Qiu stepped on the rain with his bare feet and walked along Third Avenue to a hospital.

In just an hour's effort, all the wounds on his body were repaired, and only a few imperceptible scars remained.

The doctors here are famous, especially one who looks like a kangaroo with a big belly and looks like a middle-aged man who has been drinking too much, but the muscles in his arms that are about to burst are not fake.

Once, Jiang Qiu saw the doctor pull the wheelchair out of the MRI machine with his bare hands.

In the single ward, Dr. Wan looked at the regular customers in front of him and teased: "You have been here three times this month, and in the whole year of last year, I presided over more than 24 surgeries for you, or you would have come to me to handle a VIP." ”

Jiang Qiu pinched his left hand, raised the medical card in his hand, and said with a smile: "Am I not a VIP customer yet?" ”

"Where did you go this time?"

Doctor Wan is also a talker, and his relationship with Jiang Qiu is not bad, plus Jiang Qiu is on a hunter mission, it is inevitable that he will be injured, and the wounds on his body can easily tell what kind of weapon is caused by a person like Dr. Wan, who has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, so Jiang Qiu did not plan to hide his identity here.

"Dungeons."

"Oh?" Dr. Wan became interested, "That is Director Liu's territory, what are you going to do there?" ”

Dr. Wan waved his hand, "When I didn't ask." Next time you go to the dungeon, you can go to Heicao Lane in the north of the city, where there is a delicious mutton restaurant. ”

Jiang Qiu agreed with a smile, and was just about to leave, when he temporarily remembered the blockage in his chest and asked, "Can you help me do a CT?" I felt a little tightness in my chest. ”

These are minor issues.

On the contrary, every time Jiang Qiu brought up the word 'feeling', Dr. Wan would be very interested, and many times he would push off other people's surgeries, set aside time to listen to Jiang Qiu talk about his feelings, and would take out a voice recorder to record it little by little.

In this city where abilities and technology are mixed, the power of technology has been proven countless times, but abilities are also not to be underestimated, especially the so-called intuition of these magicians.

Dr. Wan has received an interesting patient.

The patient would always have nightmares about his penchant for killing, doing evil, and even feeling like he had a second personality in his body.

After a tedious and lengthy treatment, Dr. Wan finally found out that the patient was not a human, but a beast, but there was a problem with cognition, and human nature and beast instincts fought for control of the body.

After taking a CT and holding the film, Dr. Wan studied it carefully for a long time, but still found no abnormality, and asked curiously: "What do you feel is wrong this time?" ”

Jiang Qiu looked at the neon lights outside the window, lost his mind for a moment, took out the latest morning newspaper from the nearby newspaper column, and said with a smile: "I encountered some battles from the dungeon, during which my chest was blocked for some reason, and it seemed that my heart was about to stop, but I quickly regained my calm, and even I doubted whether that feeling existed." ”

It is also miraculous to say that in Tianyang City, where science and technology are so developed, the backward news carrier of newspapers has not disappeared, but has developed better, and more and more people do not want to leave data records in their mobile phones, but look for the information they need from the newspaper.

On the other hand, in the world outside Tianyang City, due to the continuous radiation of science and technology, the three major countries began to worship technology and believe in technology, and those with superpowers suffered frustrations everywhere outside.

While Dr. Wan was thinking, Jiang Qiu quickly browsed the news in the newspaper, found the scientific research column, and looked for the latest scientific and technological research and new weapons, but the information about the battle armor and transformers in the dungeon tonight was not on it.

Regarding the words of the willow demon, Jiang Qiu only believed half of it.

The disappearance of their own family should be related to their research, the theory of shadow magic is too far-fetched, Jiang Qiu once cleaned up his family's room and found a handful of unburned ashes hidden under the floor tiles, which recorded the PNF device.

Past, present and future?

What did they come up with?

Doctor Wan thought unsuccessfully, and helped Jiang Qiu pack the CT film, "I don't know the cause for the time being, it is most likely that you received some kind of traction at that moment, or someone secretly attacked you, but the difference in strength between you and him is too big for you to perceive." ”

Jiang Qiu's mind came up with the strange statue that was only half of his body left.

Is it strong?

Jiang Qiu said goodbye to Dr. Wan with a smile.

......

......

The apartment building where Jiang Qiu lives is very remote, quite remote.

Before coming to Tianyang City, Jiang Qiu studied in Liao Province, the three eastern provinces of Huashao Kingdom, which was not as prosperous as Tianyang City, except for high-rise buildings and high-rise buildings.

There was once an ancient poem: not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, he was at the top of his life.

However, every high-rise building in Tianyang City can look down on the floating clouds and touch the blue sky from the top, and now even such things as flying swords and beheading people can be done. The palm of the hand was broken, but it could be repaired in an hour, which was extremely convenient, but the sense of belonging in Jiang Qiu's heart did not increase at all.

My heart is my hometown, but the topic of belonging is too mysterious.

For Jiang Qiu, the three eastern provinces that he grew up in did not bring him a sense of security, and the few remaining memory fragments are still the green grass in the yard before the demolition, and the grasshoppers in it are delicious to roast.

The ancestral hometown is not good, and Tianyang City is even worse.

Just like a mime, a child from infancy, the background board is blurred, from learning to walk, to learning to speak, staggering behind the adult's buttocks, going to school after playing, classmates' faces are blurred, high-rise buildings are blurred, especially in adulthood, one of the few clear ground holes is missing.

Jiang Qiu tried to retrieve these two faces, rummaging through almost every corner of Tianyang City, but he couldn't find even a single hair.

But life must go on.

The door was opened, and the two clear-looking people in his background were still at home.

Meng Zikun was wearing a training uniform in the gym, lying on the bed drunk, half asleep, but this guy knew that Jiang Qiu had quit smoking, and he didn't smoke either, and the ashtray was very clean.

The empty wine bottles on the ground proved that this boxing guy had a good amount of alcohol, and every time Jiang Qiu fought with him, he would always be the first to vomit.

Xun Cao, who looked more like a woman, put down the law book in his hand and rubbed his eyes a little sour, "I'm back." ”

Jiang Qiu grinned, "It's hard work." ”

After asking and answering, Jiang Qiudian felt much better.

What is Good Brother?

Probably it doesn't need to be born and die with each other, but a sentence I'll wait for you to come back.

Xun Ke closed the door, cautiously turned off everyone's mobile phones, kicked Meng Zikun awake, took out a piece of paper and wrote, "What useful information is there?" ”

"Does your family's disappearance have anything to do with the school?"

Meng Zikun yawned, patted off the footprints on his body, and leaned back in his chair, "As for being so cautious? ”

Both of them didn't bother to take care of this drunkard, Jiang Qiu took the paper and wrote down what he saw, heard, remembered, and thought about the dungeon, only the strange statue, Jiang Qiu paused for a moment and chose to skip.

Jiang Qiu's writing is very detailed, and the handwriting is very good-looking, and the standard block letters are like computer printing.

It's not that he doesn't know how to write in line letters and cursive, but he learns things too quickly, and after he learns them, he starts to learn the next one, and he never works any one thing.

Even among the billions of people in the world, there are so many top geniuses, but there are only 108 magicians.

But so what?

After Jiang Qiu mastered the technique, he put it aside to learn probability theory and mathematical statistics, which should not be used in a lifetime.

Xun Cao looked very carefully, five or six times, not missing a single detail, and wrote at the end: "There is no problem with dealing with it, and in the next relationship with the willow demon, you must maintain a young and frivolous attitude, but you are anxious to track down the whereabouts of your parents, but you don't want to be taken advantage of." ”

"The willow demon is a smart person, and you have to use stupid methods to deal with smart people, so that they think they have mastered your psychology, and they have a feeling that I understand your kid."

"As for Old Man Ye, I want to find another opportunity to talk to him, as your parents' teacher, he must know something, it is estimated that he is afraid of that AI and the willow demon, and it is inconvenient to tell you clearly."

"It's also possible that it's too deeply involved and related to the board of directors, but he doesn't dare to say it, it's nothing more than these directions, and you just need to prove them one by one."

Jiang Qiu exclaimed: "It is worthy of studying law, logical thinking is strong, and it is similar to what I thought." ”

Xun Cao said: "But you have to study your own technique well, according to the conclusion given by the willow demon, the big battle twenty years ago may have something to do with the disappearance of your parents in the early years, but in any case, your current strength is not strong enough, and you are too distracted." ”

Jiang Qiu spread his hands, "I can't raise my spirit, just like knowing that there is still a month to take the college entrance examination, I still lie in bed and sleep, sleep until I wake up naturally, read novels, play games, and don't want to do practice questions, as a result, a large number of good students in the teacher's mouth failed to be admitted to the university department of Xusheng University, and I won the reputation of the top student." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Tianyang City didn't allow escorts, I wouldn't have bothered to take the college entrance examination."

Meng Zikun interjected, "Brother Jiang is too smart, smart to the point of conceit, and always feels that with a little effort, he can achieve the kung fu of others for several years." It's like seeing ordinary people climbing a mountain, and Brother Jiang, who is already halfway up the mountain, will stop and go around the mountains and rivers. ”

Jiang Qiu smiled: "I also know that it's very bad, it's an old problem that I have had since I was a child." ”

Xun Cao finally concluded: "When I go to teach the daughter of the Willow Demon, I can agree to come down and take advantage of the Willow Demon's position to probe the wind." The dragon beast on Seventy-seventh Street, Mencius Kun cleaned his hands and feet, find a few apprentices and let them take their girlfriends shopping, three times a month, but it is not good if there are more, and the next branch can be considered to open on Seventy-seventh Street. ”

"Find the traces of the dragon beast, inform the two of us, and go to ask Brother Jiang's family about it together, whether it is violent means or using benefits in exchange, there is always a way."

Meng Zikun smiled: "No problem, but to be honest, compared to opening a new boxing gym branch, I would like to open a tavern there, drinking and listening to songs on rainy days, and bragging about cowhides, which is also good." ”

As for the cost of opening a store, will it cause trouble for himself, after all, the other party is a dragon beast, as one of the directors of Tianyang City, the representative of the beast, the strength is not strong, but Meng Zikun agreed very simply.

Xun Cao played the role of a military advisor, and he could see a hesitant look on his extremely sharp face, "Let's discuss this matter again." ”

Then he looked at Jiang Qiu, "Brother Jiang, do you remember the appearance of those ten people?" Draw a copy, and in a few days I will go to a law firm to register my name, and study it, I think I will definitely learn about many cases and touch some big people, and I can help you pay attention to their interpersonal relationships. ”

As soon as Meng Zikun heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Brother Jiang is going to start showing his painting skills again?" ”

When he pursued Lu Qingyan at the beginning, Jiang Qiu was very literary and artistic.

Poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting, as long as Lu Qingyan is slightly interested, Jiang Qiu will work hard to learn it, and he does not dare to guarantee that he has a master level, but he can be placed on the level of his peers, Jiang Qiu thinks that he has no opponent.

If Lu Qingyan wants to go crazy, Jiang Qiu will take her to play skydiving, if she feels sad, Jiang Qiu will take her to the beach, and she will run wild without an umbrella like a fool on a rainy day, and then occupy the position at the entrance of the supermarket in advance, looking at others who have no place to hide from the rain and laugh secretly.

After coming and going, he captured the girl's heart, even if Jiang Qiu dropped out of school now, but there seemed to be more legendary experiences, and the girl admired him more and more.

Jiang Qiu rubbed his wrist, lifted the paintbrush, and relied on the figures of the ten people in his memory, twisting slowly and drawing carefully.

Jiang Qiu's painting is best at embodying delicate painting from the big opening and closing, first outlining the outline, and then painting the eyes and nose, and soon ten lifelike people appear on the drawing paper.

Xun Cao put it away, burned the paper used for the conversation of several people, and rushed into the sewer, "If you have something, use the crow to contact, try not to use the phone, the ghost knows if that thing will spy on us." ”

Meng Zikun was the first to drop out of school, and he didn't feel deeply about Adam, "Is that thing really as dangerous as you say?" ”

Xun Cao nodded seriously and said, "It will be more dangerous than you think." ”

Jiang Qiu's mind came to mind the hippie Adam, wearing a dinosaur costume and holding a white handkerchief to 'beckon', laughing silently.

"As for the disappearance of my family, thank you two."

Xun Ke shook his head, "This is a war, a war between the three of us brothers and the people behind the scenes. ”

Meng Zikun also responded: "Old rules, I am responsible for the preliminary investigation, Brother Jiang is responsible for the hands, Xun Cao is responsible for destroying the scene, I really met the mastermind behind your family's disappearance, let's do him together." ”

This is also the reason why Jiang Qiu is a hunter, but he is rarely discovered, and there will always be flaws on his own.

The three of them stood side by side by the window and watched the rainy night together.

......

......

In the dungeon arena.

The reformed woman spat out a mouthful of blood, shook her damaged mechanical arm upwards, and looked at the two beasts that had turned into a puddle of mud with a bright smile, and her heart was extremely happy.

Du Shaokang covered his abdomen with a pale face, looking at the reformed person who was as proud as a princess, and he couldn't figure it out.

In addition to the important organs and female characteristics of the whole body, which can allow the woman to give birth to offspring smoothly, the rest of the place is almost entirely mechanical products, such people also like to torture and kill beasts.

What's wrong?

If Jiang Qiu left him the impression that he was a sinister poisonous snake that was good at hiding himself and would not pounce on you until he found his Achilles heel, then the woman named Chu Xiaohe below was like a mad lioness who saw her cub die and tear apart the enemy to vent the anger in her heart.

Taoist priest Wu Yong stood behind him, his skin showing an unnatural blue, as if the residual poison had not been cleared.

"I heard that Chu Xiaohe encountered a beast when she was a child, and her family was not spared, and she herself is not a magician, and she can't become a superpower through the data terminal, so she chose to transform her body and add mechanical parts."

The corpses of the two beasts below were densely covered with bullet holes, and there were even traces of chainsaws tearing flesh.

Chu Xiaohe nodded, and flames erupted from the soles of his feet, pushing him to the platform above, parallel to Qixingzi.

Although the two parties are not enemies, there is a vague rivalry between them.

The Liu Demon and Chen Guangsheng behind them also have this kind of relationship, and it is obvious that judging from the superficial results alone, Qixingzi lost this invisible competition.

Come to think of it, those ambassadors will also be inclined to transform human technology.

Chu Xiaohe nodded at a few people, and stretched out his damaged arm, which had several sparkling wires on it, "I still have to ask Dr. Park to help me get a new one, and I can't chat with you for the time being." ”

Chu Xiaohe looked at the weak girl hiding behind among the several people, and smiled brightly, "I hope I can learn from you next time, I will continue to hone myself and become a weapon for killing beasts." ”

Du Shaokang didn't say much, Taoist Wu Yong stood up and played the role of team leader, "It is also our honor to be able to fight with a strong man like you." ”

Wu used the word 'we' to accentuate his tone.

Chu Xiaohe smiled and gradually left.

Qi Xingzi and his party did not leave the military base, and walked deep along the bluestone road, through the flowery shade, to a wooden house by the lake.

This is a 'secret base' built by five people with their bare hands, and it is also one of the few things that is not controversial, there is no electronic equipment here, and they can talk freely.

Before entering, the five of them tacitly took off the data terminal and placed it under the tree outside the courtyard.

Taoist priest Wu Yong sat on a wooden chair in the room, poured himself a cup of weak tea, and looked at Du Shaokang.

Du Shaokang looked lonely, "According to the agreement, I will not be the leader of the team in the future, it is my judgment error." ”

Wu Yong nodded, played with the copper coin in his hand, and asked seemingly casually, "You say, is the shadow technique really that strong?" How do I feel, isn't it just to summon a few beasts and use the beast's skills to interfere with us, the killing power doesn't seem to be outstanding, and the battle armor of a single round of Guan Xinran is enough to cause him a lot of trouble. ”

Du Shaokang didn't seem to have a high spirit, and replied lazily: "According to the records, twenty years ago, that shadow magician faced the seven beast directors alone, although according to the results, the shadow magician failed, but according to the speculation of the people at the time, the seven beast directors were all special-grade. ”

"Human beings have only had more than a dozen special grades in the past thirty years, and after friction and conflict, there are only five left, and none of them dare to say that they can fight seven."

Guan happily looked at the most silent supper.

Supper was thin and weak, like a willow, it seemed that she still had some palpitations, the tail behind her was lowered, and she spoke softly, "It's terrible, especially for us beasts, it's almost restrained, so I dare not touch his shadow to death." ”

"Otherwise, I will gradually lose my will and be replaced by his will......"

Wu Yong waved his hand, "Since that's the case, forget it, it's really too difficult for you, I don't blame you." ”

Immediately, Taoist priest Wu said with a smile: "Have you heard of the PNF device?" ”

"No, I'm too lazy to ask." Du Shaokang shook his head.

Wu Yong's voice was not loud, but several people in the team could hear it clearly, "It is said that it is a new gadget developed by a couple, but it is very dangerous, extremely dangerous. ”

"First of all, the creation and re-inheritance of sorcerers seems to be controlled by a god in the dark, and no one knows the law. But there is a couple who have come up with such a strange thing, which is a bit similar to the law of cause and effect? There is also a bit of technology in it, and it is finally integrated into the data terminal. ”

Wu Yong pointed to the data terminal outside, "Connecting the past and the future, developing battle armor, developing flying swords, and many, many more...... And...... Selective inheritance ......"

There was instant silence around them, only the sound of heavier and heavier breathing, and I don't know who it was.

Wu Yong remembered something 'suddenly', and said with a smile: "It is said that even the beast's technique can be selectively inherited, as long as a beast with the technique dies, even if you already have the technique, you can still inherit it." ”

"One person, two techniques, or even three techniques."

You can hear the sound of gasps.

"How do you know that?" Du Shaokang took the lead in asking.

Wu Yong didn't speak, and he didn't turn his head, "Since from today onwards, I am the leader, your attitude is a little more correct." ”

Immediately, Wu Yong looked lazy again, rubbed his face, and lay on the table to line up the seven copper coins, and the wide Taoist robe occupied the entire table, "I'm just responsible for bringing a word, but for a period of time in the future, it should be based on the technology of transforming people, and the battle armor will continue to be developed, but the priority has dropped, and we will be in a state of free-range breeding for a long time." ”

"I know some of you are tempted, but if you sneak your hands and want to kill that young man, I advise you to give up this idea, my hexagram has always been accurate."

"One more thing, Director Liu allowed us to leave the underground, and my idea is to become a hunter like that young man named Jiang Qiu."

"He can transform from a student in a greenhouse to a lone wolf in two years, and we can think of it."

"We're all one-in-a-million geniuses, and we have to have faith in ourselves."

Taoist priest Wu Yong said softly: "If you don't speak, I think you agree." ”

"Don't be afraid of getting your hands dirty."
