Chapter 33: Qionglin
Chapter 33: Qionglin
At the end of the torrent, Roach fell to a solid piece of ground, and the surrounding noise was instantly paused. He lay on the ground, and in a moment of dizziness he saw many pairs of slender thighs, and for a moment it seemed to be frozen, a stack of soft-handed papers scattered everywhere, and a cup of tea spilled on the ground.
Roach endured the churning of his stomach and used his limbs together, propping himself up from the ground in a very unsightly manner, and looked around. He was in a hall with a huge glass wall among the four walls, the dome of the hall was five or six meters above the ground, and the area of the hall was about the size of a railway station waiting room in an ordinary city. Relying on the position of the workbench, it was invisibly divided into ten or so work areas, and those people should have been working before he suddenly fell in and interrupted them. Now, the mages closest to him were trying to pretend to be indifferent while they took the time to look at him.
Roach saw countless symbols flickering in the middle of the hall, and not far away, three young mages were manipulating a complex calculation together. A short-haired girl, perhaps about the same age as Du Zheng, floated deftly in the air, polishing the intricate equipment at a tricky angle, and Roach didn't even know what it was.
If he was not mistaken, a corner of the hall was churning with liquid nitrogen, an invisible barrier restricting the range of liquid nitrogen. A mage made it all with his bare hands, and he was cooling the device.
He withdrew his gaze and scrambled up from the ground, looking at the mages who looked like the Chosen One. Some quickly lose their curiosity, withdraw their gaze from him, and return to their focused work.
A male mage with a stern expression walked over and caught Roach's attention. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, the scattered paper manuscripts were neatly folded back on a table, the teacup flew back into the hands of an old mage who was still in a daze, and the tea on the ground disappeared cleanly.
"You guys!" The mage said angrily, "I've said many times that you executors are not allowed to teleport directly in the hall. ”
The two mages who had brought Roach back immediately argued with him - in order to save time, they chose the largest room in the entire building to reduce the time it takes to calculate beacons.
Luo Qi looked around him, and the two people led by Li Xu teleported him along with the monk and the bag of corpses, and the others were nowhere to be seen. This should have been arranged by Li Xu, snatching away the physical evidence and human evidence as soon as possible, and separating the duo of Luo Qi and Du Zhengyi at the same time. Li Xu is not here, thinking about it in a good way, he must be appeasing Du Zhengyi now.
Luo Qi subconsciously glanced at the strange monk and immediately looked away in disgust. The monk shrank behind him and stared at him with trembling fear as if he had seen a ghost. This, of course, also attracted the attention of the mage, who gave Roach a suspicious look.
Roach avoided his gaze, and the rest of the hall, and looked out the window. In the distance, there is a snow-capped mountain, like a mirage suspended above a low mountain, a huge mountain that is perfectly symmetrical, yet abruptly present. Secretly taken aback, he jerked his legs and took a few steps, looking down through the glass wall.
A large frozen river reflected a diamond-like glow in the sun, and the river turned at his feet and flowed eastward in a solidified manner. On the bend ground, the forests of silver pines covered the valley floor, and a long wind blew, and the ice dust raised between the woodlands shimmered in the sunlight.
Roach knew what this place was, though he had never been. The name "Jonlin" is known to everyone in all corners of the continent where magic is still spreading. The lonely mountain in the distance is the legendary sacred mountain, and every child in the wizarding world has heard the story of the sacred mountain temple.
Unexpectedly, the first time he entered Qionglin, it was because of such a reason.
"Hey!" Someone called him.
He turned around and saw a short-haired girl standing in front of him, with large eyes and a small face with a bit of a scholarly trance about the real world. He remembered that he was the girl who had been floating in the air to polish the equipment before.
He looked at the girl without any energy, and asked her silently what was the matter.
"Are you a friend of Mahjong?" The girl asked him kindly, and it seemed that she had come to make small talk.
He looked at the girl suspiciously, and the girl reached out and pointed to the little frog sewn in the chest of his shirt. He realized that he was wearing a newly bought thick coat outside, and the shirt inside had not been changed, and it was still the work clothes of Majiang Clinic.
"Do you know Ma Jiang?" Roach asked subconsciously.
"It's my brother." The girl replied briefly.
Luo Qi suddenly remembered Zhao Zhiyan's speculation that Du Zhengyi was ranked sixth.
"You've also been transferred to headquarters?" The girl asked him, "Graduating this year?" You look pretty small. ”
Roach was embarrassed, and the girl didn't even figure out what was going on. He glanced back warily, and the two mages who had escorted him had noticed that he was talking to someone else, and one of them, who was particularly rude, had already walked towards him.
"I hope to meet your teacher." Roach hurried to say, "I met him once. ”
"Teacher Pei?" The girl was a little disturbed by his nervous look.
He didn't have time to answer, and the executor grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him away roughly, "No talking." ”
Roach glanced back at the girl, and the girl figured out what was going on, and looked at Roach in surprise, looking a little flustered.
Du Zhengyi is not lacking in patience. He methodically built all the defenses in his mind before reaching out to shake hands with Li Xu, who was already waiting for him, and in an instant, Li Xu's information entered his cognitive space. The information that Li Xu showed him was very limited, just a secret word to verify his name and position. The secret words can be corroborated, and Li Xu's official identity is beyond doubt. Li Xu's level is also far above him, and he has no way to interfere with him taking away the evidence, but ......
"But there's no need to come up and take Roach away, right?" Du Zhengyi frowned and said, he divided a part of his energy to probe Li Xu's energy every minute.
"By committee standards, Roach is underage." Li Xu said with a pleasant face, with a gentle elder love between his eyebrows, "I know that Brother Pei has taken a fancy to this child's surprising talent, and Brother Pei has always been eclectic in employing people. But for me, rules are rules, and in our world, every child is a magical spark of hope that should be protected. This is the principle of supremacy that cannot be distorted, and children should not be used under any circumstances. ”
"What does Mr. Li mean is that Luo Qi was taken away to protect minors?" Du Zhengyi asked coldly. "I'll follow the process to inform his parents, maybe you've already looked into his file and know that his parents are famous. They should be qualified to enter Qionglin, and they will probably pick him up and take him home soon, and I believe it will be smooth by then, right? ”
Zhao Zhiyan on the side said, "Luo Qi is not completely innocent, right......?"
Li Xu stretched out his hand to stop his words, and said to Du Zhengyi sincerely and slightly reproachfully, "Of course, we all do things according to the rules, how can it not go well?" ”
Du Zhengyi nodded slightly.
Li Xu turned to the girl who was hiding in the distance and looked at her carefully, "This is Guan Yushan's little granddaughter?" It's grown so big. The last time I saw you, you were holding a Mickey Mouse, and you were that big. You okay? ”
Guan Xinyue shrank and nodded slightly and tremblingly at his question.
"Poor little girl." Li Xu sighed, "Don't worry, we will definitely find your sister." ”
Guan Xinyue was indifferent to his words, and he had to give up after waiting for a while.
Zhao Zhiyan smiled on the side, "Is my ring on Luo Qi?" ”
"Here I am." Guan Xinyue said, reaching into her pocket and taking out the jade wrench.
Zhao Zhiyan took a few steps closer to her to reach over and take it, she glanced at Zhao Zhiyan and threw the wrench into the air. Zhao Zhiyan was stunned, but the mage's body reaction speed was still on him, he stepped forward and grabbed his ring in mid-air, turned his head and stared at Guan Xinyue threateningly.
Li Xu smiled generously and glanced at Zhao Zhiyan, as if reminding him of something. Zhao Zhiyan took his eyes off the little girl, glanced at Du Zhengyi, who was observing him, and laughed unkindly and cynically.
Li Xu came suddenly, but he was quite polite when he left, he asked Du Zhengyi to say hello to the teacher, and asked Guan Xinyue a few words, and then left with Zhao Zhiyan.
The figures of the two disappeared completely, and Guan Xinyue still stood silently, until Du Zhengyi suddenly kicked the shovel on the ground, and she could be sure that they had really left.
"When will Rocky come back?" She walked to Du Zhengyi's side and reached out to hold Du Zhengyi's forearm. The sudden change made the people she was a little afraid of become close and reliable.
Du Zheng looked at the corpse pit that was now empty, "After going through this, aren't you afraid of him?" ”
Guan Xinyue shook her head, "He's not a bad person. ”
"Intuition?" Du Zhengyi looked at her and thought for a while, but couldn't think of any other reason.
"Even if it's it." Guan Xinyue said.
"I don't know if he'll ever be able to get back into this." "If he could go back to his parents, it would have been a better outcome." ”
"He ......," Guan Xinyue said, "is what that man said true?" He took Roach because Roach is not an adult according to your algorithm? ”
"Took him away with the corpse to protect the children?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Du Zhengyi's face, "How is it possible?" ”
Guan Xinyue's face became more ugly and anxious, "But you'll help him, right?" You're friends, right? ”
"I'll inform his parents, and I'll inform my teachers." Du Zhengyi said, "But we are not friends, and what I can do for him is the end of it." ”
Guan Xinyue's expression looked like she was about to vomit, she looked at Du Zhengyi in shock, "But he ...... He's always there to help you. ”
Du Zhengyi was silent for a while, and reluctantly asked, "What did he find?" ”
"He suspects that my grandfather is the Mind Mage who was sent to investigate the Lu Jinfeng incident." Guan Xinyue hurriedly said, "My grandfather may still find something." From this point of view, perhaps Qi Yue had the same problem as the person who killed Lu Jinfeng, so Luo Qi wanted to try his luck here. I didn't expect ......."
Du Zhengyi's eyes unconsciously fell on the corpse pit again, this is what Luo Qi meant by asking him to ask Guan Xinyue before leaving, Luo Qi was able to find the body because he was close to the truth of the matter.
If the body hadn't been wrapped in a woven bag, if there hadn't been a steel nail piercing the eye, if Roach hadn't told such a scene a few days ago, it would have been perfect.
