001. Summer
The long, idle summer may be a rare unified memory for all high school juniors.
The intense college entrance examination, the score assessment, the three-month summer vacation, and the vision for the future university, everything seems to be branded with the two big words of youth, and then pressed into an orange soda-colored vinyl disc, constantly circulating.
There was no college entrance examination, no suspense of checking scores, no entanglement between filling in the volunteer and the school, Wei Gushu was completely idle.
After lying in the hospital for nearly two months before he recovered and was discharged, he cherished the solemn and simple admission letter in the most intimate pocket, and sandwiched the bright red ribbon in the admission letter.
All experiences are like a fading tide, suddenly appearing in his life and disappearing suddenly, only these two things can be used as some kind of proof, and all other traces are completely incapable of any evidence.
Strange monsters, black and pure white gods, all kinds of strange people, the Ministry of Public Security wearing a black trench coat, and the white-haired young headmaster, suddenly appeared and completely disappeared from his life.
If it weren't for this admission letter, Wei Gushu himself would have doubted that he would be able to find them again.
In mid-July, on an ordinary midsummer afternoon, Wei Gushu sat behind the counter of an air-conditioned café wearing a simple and loose pure white crewneck and short sleeves, holding a cheapest lemon-flavored popsicle in his mouth, while reading the admission letter that he didn't know how many times he had read over and over again.
After he left the hospital, he returned to his bedroom in a familiar welfare home, and no one paid special attention to him, and the school didn't seem to have to go, and even the college entrance examination became unnecessary after he called the admissions office to confirm that he had been approved for admission in advance.
Wei Gushu naturally does not simply think that all this is normal, after experiencing that kind of experience, the surrounding environment is too normal to restore the biggest abnormality, all this can only be classified as "aftercare" is very good.
And judging from the normality of the situation around them, they are obviously familiar with the road, and they are the exception who accidentally perceives the truth of the world.
The biggest advantage of Wei Gushu is that he has a strong ability to accept it, but he has fully accepted it when he thinks of this possibility. Xiao Wei Xunsi, who accepted this fact, was idle anyway, so he simply went to work in the coffee shop where he had been working part-time, and it was a little bit to make some money.
The original plan for the university entrance scholarship was in vain, and I heard that the university costs a lot of money, and he wants to buy a computer.
The notebook I use now is a backward model that I don't know how many hands, and it can barely light up after sewing and repairing, if you have to describe its backwardness..... It can be seen from Wei Gushu's habit of turning on the computer to soak instant noodles by the way, and the time of more than three minutes is just enough for it to turn on.
To sum up, Wei Gushu, who was wearing a white loose round neck and short sleeves and a dark green coffee shop clerk's apron on the outside, was holding a popsicle in his mouth, and he looked at the admission letter in his hand for the eighth time today.
The simple and atmospheric cover texture is not like a mass-produced admission letter, and most of the handwriting on it is printed, except for the part involving the name that is written with a brush, with a pure black luster.
In particular, the principal's signature is like a sword mark carved on the rock, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is simply off the paper, with a kind of sharpness of gold and stone.
In the morning, the customers who visit this small coffee shop in the center of the city say that there is not much or too little, and most of the customers mainly use the indoor air conditioning to escape the heat after coming in, and they will sit for a long time after symbolically ordering a drink, which is why Wei Gushu can be idle.
"Jingle Bells"
A new customer pushed open the door, bringing with him a slightly hot and dry heat outside, and it was a middle-aged uncle who didn't see any extra features.
He was wearing a white shirt and trousers with the cuffs rolled up, black-framed glasses, and judging from the tie and leather briefcase, it was likely that the white-collar workers in the nearby office buildings were busy idle.
"Welcome."
Wei Gushu ate the popsicle in two bites, stood up, patted his dark green coffee shop apron, walked over with the menu, and poured him a glass of chilled lemonade first.
"Hmm..... A glass of chilled lemon with twice the lemon juice, followed by a yellow peach sundae. ”
This middle-aged man with black, square-rimmed glasses had an unexpectedly unpleasant taste, and ordered two desserts at the bottom of the coffee shop that were not coffee at all.
Wei Jushu nodded, and helped him place an order backstage on his mobile phone and was ready to go to the bar to make it, but the featureless man took a sip of lemonade from the glass with his left hand, and quietly pressed a fifty bill on a black and silver leather document with his left hand, and pushed it to Wei Jushu together.
The Ministry of Public Security's certificate, and in Wei Gushu's perspective, it also printed the words "Permission for Repression" in color-changing ink.
"Okay, please wait."
Wei Gushu's pupils only lowered his head froze slightly for a moment, and in order not to let the other guests notice this, his tone and demeanor did not change at all.
He just quickly put away the coin on it, and then used the reason of change to push the document back to the man in front of him who didn't think it was "over there".
The latter seemed a little surprised by his calmness, and pushed his frame upwards with interest, turning his head to look at Wei Gushu.
"You don't seem surprised?"
Wei Gushu didn't reply to him immediately, but looked around at a few customers scattered around, and the middle-aged man saw Wei Gushu's concerns, and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry about other people hearing their conversation.
"It's okay, ordinary people can't pay attention here, please take a seat."
I don't know when it started, but the sound of people talking, the sound of ice cubes hitting in glasses, the sound of footsteps, and all the noises became more muffled, as if they were heard in the water, and became a little unreal.
..... Is it the Dharma?
Wei Gu Shu accepted it quickly, anyway, there is this kind of organization, even some unknown methods are very reasonable, he nodded, pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
"Well, you can see that you're different from everyone else when you enter the store."
Wei Jushu answered the reason why he was not surprised, and then made a general gesture with his fingers.
"There are some subtle sensations wrapped around you, is that what you call soul pressure?"
“.... I see, so why didn't you communicate with me in the first place? ”
The other party did not answer the question raised by Wei Gushu, but instead asked a second question.
"I don't know what the other party meant, so it's a problem to rashly say that I can see the other party's abnormalities."
Wei Jushu sighed, if the other party didn't reveal his identity, he would definitely pretend to be stupid to the end, in the past, he was very good at pretending that he couldn't see it, and caution had become his habit.
"It's better than the newcomers of the Ministry of Public Security."
The middle-aged man nodded with a subtle expression and gave a brief introduction to Wei Gushu.
"Tian Pengyi, Zhengwu and other town anomalies, the Third Bureau of Public Security, can also be regarded as a guest lecturer in the north."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Wei Gushu, seeing that the other party was so solemnly introducing himself to himself, Wei Gushu wiped his hand on the apron and reached out to hold it.
"Wei Gu Technique,.... Part-time coffee shop clerk? ”
The latter smiled slightly, reached out and took out a black file bag from the briefcase, and Wei Jushu keenly found the seal behind it, with the words "C-C" printed on red cinnabar.
Tian Pengyi wiped this cinnabar seal with his thumb, and the strange feeling familiar to Wei Gushu was fleeting on his fingertips, and the handwriting on the seal quickly burned into ashes, precise and magnificent.
"It's just the most basic use of soul pressure, you can learn it in a few minutes if you want to."
The man looked at Wei Jushu who had some straight eyes and smiled, remembering the expressions of many newcomers who saw the use of soul pressure for the first time, just like the boy in front of him.
You were like that back then, right? I am full of curiosity and surprise about the real and wonderful other side of the world.
He took out a long clip from the folder and handed it to Wei Gushu.
"What is this? Some kind of magical prop? Look at this long strip, charm? ”
Tian Pengyi was made to laugh and cry by the young man's too fast receptivity in front of him, you kid not only accepted it, but also promoted to the world view of cultivating immortals in one go, right?
"Ahem..... It's plane tickets and high-speed rail tickets...."
He was a little angry and funny and opened the long clip for him, which was a ticket holder, and there were three tickets respectively, two were high-speed rail tickets for Yanguo and China Eastern Airlines, and one was a local light rail ticket, and the people on the plane were all written with Wei Gushu's name.
"Oooh......"
Wei Jushu smiled a little embarrassedly and took the ticket holder.
"I didn't expect our school to be so intimate, it's still first class."
Three tickets and one water for the first class, the first class, he also checked the tickets for the school, the green train is four hundred, these three tickets are enough for him to eat for two months, which makes Wei Gushu can't help but be in awe of the university he has not yet met.
"Does everyone else have it too? Our school has money. ”
It is not a small expense for every freshman to be issued such a first-class package, and Wei Jushu has been deeply shocked by the school's financial resources, and then has a very high favorability, and can't help but use the term "our school".
"Others don't, you are special, because the investigation of the academy found that your financial situation is not particularly good, and I am worried that you will not be able to get by."
Tian Pengyi took a sip of lemonade and said this to him.
"Hmm!"
Wei Jushu was speechless about this, and it was indeed not a small amount of money for himself who did not have a scholarship.
"The admission process for other students is different from yours, so you should be considered a special recruit."
Generally speaking, there will be two rounds of written tests, two rounds of interviews, and finally waiting for an offer, which is about the same difficulty as applying to the top Ivy League schools in the Republic of America, and may be much higher.
"This year's autumn recruitment has been completed, there should be a few other prospective freshmen in this city, you can sign here after confirming that the ticket information is correct, and the admission process will officially begin."
"Okay."
Wei Jushu lowered his head and confirmed that the three tickets were all his own names, his name was not very common, and the probability of duplicate names was almost zero, and after confirming, he signed his electronic signature on the mobile phone handed over by Tian Pengyi.
"Wei Gushu, a prospective freshman of Northern University of Technology, the admission process is confirmed to take effect."
