181 Daydreaming, Fate and Silence (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The little boss has been busy in the 'Wizard Shelter' organization until he came back at the end of work, probably when he just left on the front foot, and the wizard with the ribbon on the back foot called Lin An.
So after getting off work, Lin An came to the organization headquarters by the way.
It's right across the street from the neighborhood anyway.
The efficiency of the small boss is very good, and the first floor has knocked out all the non-load-bearing walls, all the wall skin has been shoveled off, and steel bars are tied in several places, apparently intending to do some reinforcement.
The yard was full of water pipes, and it seemed that the drainage of the entire building was going to be redone.
Lin An got off the subway and came here, and saw a supervising person holding a pile of documents, only directing a few masters to measure, and urging the handymen who were doing the transportation to be quick.
Coming upstairs, the three streamer wizards were already waiting.
The daughter of the streamer wizard looked very energetic and jumped up to greet her, "Big brother, you're back." ”
Lin An smiled and rubbed her little head, "Hello Caicai." ”
Caicai is the nickname of the little girl, she is very happy with Lin An's affectionate attitude, and took Lin An's hand into the hall.
Lin An was beckoned by everyone to sit in the main seat of the sofa in the living room, and looked at them with some curiosity, "You said on the phone that you have something important?" ”
"Yes, Grand Commander." The wizard with the wiping rod, codenamed 'Old Accountant', was the first to respond.
Lin An smacked his mouth, "Don't call me the Great Commander, it sounds weird, call me by my name, Lin An." ”
The old man shook his head, "There are no rules, there is no circle, the three of us were saved by you, so we naturally know how to be grateful, but if we don't call the Great Commander, and others join in the future, we won't be called." ”
Lin An was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
Although he is not used to this kind of name, since he has already paid, he must always get some feedback. He asked himself that although he had good intentions for the world, he was not a great good person who only thought about doing good deeds, and such a title might be the first step in asking for returns.
He looked at the three people in front of him and noticed an interesting phenomenon.
Although the three of them are faintly dominated by streamer wizards, it is the old accountant who speaks on behalf of the three of them.
The old accountant looked at Lin An very seriously, "I'm sorry to call you over, it should have been more appropriate for us to visit." But we're all wizards, and suddenly appearing around you might cause you some trouble. ”
Lin An waved his hand, signaling that this was a trivial matter.
The old accountant continued, "The three of us discussed it for a while, and we agreed that people get along with each other. ”
"You set up a wizard shelter to provide shelter for wizards, and we watched your boss's attitude all day and realized that you might not have anything to ask of us."
He looked at the other two companions and continued, "But we can't just eat white food, in fact, as wizards who survive the complex environment of Shen Monkey City, we all think we all have two brushes. ”
"We want to tell you what we do best, so that when you need it, you know there's someone to help you with."
Lin An was stunned for a moment.
He has always been a person, and when he encounters something, he tries his best to deal with it. If you can't deal with it, you can only swallow some bad things, and some good ones are more trying to fight for them by your own ability.
I never thought that one day I would rely on others.
But it seems that some changes are taking place in his life, from work, he began to have a bunch of subordinates, to the transcendent world, and he also began to have people to help him.
He looked at the old man in a daze, then at the other three, his mind fluctuated, and finally nodded slightly, "Please speak." ”
The first to introduce himself was the silent middle-aged man, codenamed 'Lottery', a truck driver.
Dressed in a rustic old polo shirt and faded suit pants with keychains hanging from them, he said, "My strongest witchcraft ability is dream construction." ”
Walt?
Lin An looked him up and down, only feeling that people should not be good-looking.
This......
It's not in line with this guy's style.
The lottery wizard grinned, showing some yellowed teeth, and looked at Lin An with some restraint, "At first, I missed my wife very much, and when I thought about it, I really saw her in my dream......"
He coughed vigorously as he spoke, keeping himself from the weak hoarseness that he had.
He apparently had a good relationship with his wife.
"Later, I learned a lot of witchcraft, and slowly I got some skills."
"One of them is daydreaming."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hand on his suit pants and looked at Lin An nervously, "Can I show it to you?" ”
Lin An made a gesture of please.
Suddenly, he only felt a flower in front of him, no, not the feeling of a flower in front of him, but his head shook for a moment.
It was a strange feeling, he was still in the living room, sitting among several wizards, but he couldn't help but start fantasizing about a picture in his mind.
In the picture, there is a huge palace, a bit like the picture of the court in a costume drama.
But on the surrounding walls are windows with stainless steel security nets, and his dragon chair and table have also become the solid wood table and sofa office chair of the big boss in the TV series.
There were three people standing at the bottom.
The old accountant looked left and right, and couldn't help complaining, "Lottery, your taste is really outrageous!" ”
The Ribbon Wizard had a strange look in his eyes and held back a smile.
Lin An got up from his seat curiously and walked down the golden steps with dragon patterns, his eyes full of sharp gaze, staring at the lottery ticket, "Can we communicate in this daydream?" ”
Lottery obviously knew what Lin An wanted to ask, and introduced seriously, "People who are pulled into daydreams will not produce witchcraft fluctuations, but as I pull more people, the stronger the fluctuations of this witchcraft will be, and it will easily attract the attention of witch hunters." ”
"Also, the farther the range, the stronger the fluctuations of witchcraft."
He looked at Lin An, his eyes were quite smug, "The farthest I have tried to communicate with foreign netizens in a daydream, he is on the other side of the planet." ”
Lin An took a breath, he was not very used to this way of communication, and accidentally let his real mouth exclaim, "Global video conference? ”
Kiss~
The boundary between reality and daydream was broken, and Lin An broke away from that daydream.
"I've tried, and people who fall into daydreams can easily get out of my witchcraft as soon as they get emotional." ”
"But one-on-one, it still works very well."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to Lin An, and when he saw Lin An nodded, he cast the spell again.
In an instant, Lin An appeared on the edge of an abyssal pit, and a rare beast roared in the pit.
The point is, he didn't feel anything in the real world, as if he was stuck in a terrible dream.
"This is the full coverage of the witchcraft effect......" the voice of the lottery came from the side, "when I actually used it, I found that the best one to use is the half-covered one." ”
As he spoke, Lin An's vision returned to the living room of the real room.
It's just that at this time, several lottery tickets appeared around him.
Some squatted on top of the refrigerator and looked down at them and giggled, some probed their brains in the corner of the living room, and some squatted behind the sofa, pulling the edge to reveal a pair of eyes......
The most amazing thing is that the place where the lottery wizard used to stand turned out to be empty.
“!!!”
Lin An smacked his mouth and looked at the ribbon wizard, "Do you know what I'm going to say?" ”
The streamer wizard sat beside his daughter and smiled happily, "I know, the lottery is more like an Internet practitioner than us, ultra-remote real-time video calls, holographic simulations, augmented reality ......"
"Awesome!" Lin An couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the lottery.
Lottery smiled excitedly, "Grand Commander, if you need me, please feel free to say it, I ...... I...... We will definitely complete the task! ”
His ability is obviously more than that, Lin An's increasingly useful brain can already begin to imagine how useful this ability is when fighting.
Maybe the lottery is a defensive hand, maybe it is the heart of a child who wants to show the most useful ability for Lin An, and Lin An is not entangled in this problem.
The middle-aged man 'lottery' stepped back, and the old man 'old accountant' began his own elaboration.
Compared with the lottery, the image of the old accountant is still better. Although he was carrying a welding cigarette stick, he was wearing a silk embroidered Tang dress, but he had the feeling of an elegant retired little old man.
His best practice of witchcraft is......
"Curses and blessings."
To be honest, Lin An has a deep understanding of what it means to be unseemly, and wizards in Tang costumes are good at blessing this kind of thing these days......
Well, he still said he couldn't accept it.
The old accountant was obviously prepared, carrying a rat trap and putting it on the table, motioning to Lin An to look at the rats in the cage.
The rat seemed to live well in the old and dilapidated building, not only growing very big, but also shiny.
After being caught, he scurried around in the cage in an attempt to find a way out.
"Human life is full of countless coincidences, which are fateful numbers and choices we make ourselves."
The old accountant looked down at the mouse, and his voice was a little desolate, "This witchcraft I first learned, called 'The Little Hand That Moves the Compass of Destiny', will cause us to crash into those untimely coincidences. ”
As he spoke, he shook the dry tobacco stick in his hand slightly, and the little mouse stumbled suddenly, hooking a bulge in the iron cage and falling down.
The cage shook as it struck and shook and fell off the table.
It's so good that it can't die, its little paws happened to be stuck in the gap of the cage, and it was pulled and broken.
The old accountant raised his head and looked at Lin An, "The more risky, emotional, and clueless I am, the more useful my witchcraft will be." ”
As he spoke, he shook his dry tobacco stick again.
The mouse in the cage squeaked and screamed in pain, and slammed into the cage frantically, turning the cage over again.
So the buckle fell, and with a bang, it ran out of it, and ran towards the corner of the wall, along the pipe to the ceiling.
Lin An frowned, "Don't let it run around the house." ”
Hearing this, the lottery wizard hurriedly stretched out his hand, and with a slight flick, the daydream witchcraft was launched. The rat shook its head, turned around and crawled under the pipe, ran quickly, jumped over the dining table, and jumped into the trash can next to it.
The lottery wizard nodded at Lin An, "I'll take it out and throw it away later." ”
When he was done, the old accountant continued, "When you plan to take risks, please take me with you, although I am not good at fighting, I am enough to bring you countless good luck cobbled together. ”
Lin An stared at him solemnly, and finally nodded slowly.
The witchcraft that the old accountant is best at doesn't seem to be as bells and whistles as the lottery, but it is the ability that Lin An values the most.
When is it dangerous?
Oh~
Lin An recalled, it seemed that he had been in danger all along.
This kind of luck buff and bad luck buff ability is really not too easy to use.
The last one to be shown is the Ribbon Wizard.
He looked a little embarrassed and looked at Lin An, "Thank you for being able to afford it, but I'm actually the weakest of everyone." ”
Seeing Lin An's curiosity, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I am a standard science and engineering male technical nerd, which is actually contrary to the 'profession' of wizards that needs to mobilize emotions. ”
"I've always been more rational and have a hard time acting impulsively."
Truly.
But in this way, Lin An looked forward to the witchcraft ability he was best at.
"My name for witchcraft is 'Calm down, don't be impulsive.'" Seeing Lin An's curiosity, the ribbon wizard thought for a while, "Let me show you?" ”
It's natural.
So he suddenly exploded and turned into countless fluttering streamers.
These ribbons seem to shuttle between the real and the unreal, turning into a streamer of light that seems to be there and nothing.
The streamer flowed through the living room, and it didn't seem to bring much change.
But it is precisely this lack of change that is the most terrifying.
Lin An felt it carefully for a while, slowly raised his hand, and stared at his fingernails seriously.
It stands to reason that now this finger should follow his wishes, from a human finger to a black cat's claw.
But no!
Not only did he not, but he even felt that his emotions had become extremely empty, and his heart was empty, as if he couldn't lift any emotions.
Even the emotional wildfire of 'ambition' surging in his chest during this time was instantly extinguished with a snort.
It seems that only the gifted witchcraft 'Wandering Eyes' remains, and it has not been affected.
But the source of natural witchcraft comes from the wizard bloodline, which is different from normal witchcraft and does not require emotions and other powers.
The streamer swirled and flew, returning to a human form again, looking at the people with different eyes, and sighed, "If wizards are unjust beings, I am the unjust existence of wizards. ”
"My witchcraft is better at calming everyone's emotions, which is useful for wizards, but not for witch hunters."
Wizard Exclusive!
Sound......
Lin An raised his eyebrows, this path seemed to be more suitable for a manager in a wizarding organization.
Of course, if it is used to deal with Lao Liu......
Or...... Chen Xinfan, who seems to be hostile to himself and doesn't know what to do now!
Seriously, Lin An looked at the three of them, and had a feeling of picking up a treasure, as the silent witchcraft of the ribbon wizard dissipated, the 'ambition' emotion wildfire in his heart rose, and more and more ideas began to emerge.
