Prologue The Lonely Shadow of the Sea of People
Shuangban Continent, Oki Republic, Higashiri City.
As the most powerful country in the Shuangfan continent composed of the Sakurayuki Republic and the Swaden Republic, the Republic of Oki has a prosperous economy, rich resources and a large population, and is the country with the strongest development potential among the three continents in the world in recent years.
The third continent is almost untouched, with monsters rampant, chaotic signals, and a bleak view from a distance, so the world calls it "night". Except for the Saiqi Empire, which has set foot here, other countries know very little about the Night Continent, so the interior of the Night Continent is very mysterious, looking from the nearest island, it is rainy and rainy, and the roar is constant, which is terrifying.
However, for this world, the economy is not an important factor to measure national strength, and the development of spells is also the biggest bargaining chip between countries, and the development of spells often affects the rise and fall of countries in history. According to historical records, Yeda was not originally in today's tragic situation, before its mutation, there were no Warcraft in the world, and the development of spells was relatively slow, but since the mutation occurred in the Night Continent in ancient times, Warcraft swept the whole world like a tide, and the military ability to deal with regeneration supported by the development of science and technology at that time, The monster with strong immunity is simply hitting the stone with an egg, so spells have begun to prevail, and spells because they use spiritual power as the source of spells, and the attacks generated directly hit the spirits, but it is easier to strike at the monsters.
And another power, the supernatural, also mysteriously appeared not long ago.
However, people who are anesthetized by the peace of time must not realize that a great turmoil is about to begin, but the story will start from the famous magic city of Daqi Province - Higashiri City.
[For details, please refer to Section 4 related to the work]
"Ding Yixi, please reply when you receive it. β
A loudspeaker in the corner of the room heard a cacophony of electrical disturbances.
It was a dimly lit hut, with heavy silver-gray curtains that tightly covered the large windows, and the rays of sunlight that poured in through the gaps seemed as abrupt as needles, as if they would be stabbed if touched. The room was very simple, only on one side of the bed, a small lamp was on, and a short-haired boy was sitting on the bed against the wall in a simple white single-layer robe, with a name tag with special symbols on his chest, and was leaning on the edge of the bed looking at a book called "Introduction to Spells in the Double Continent". In the lower right corner of the cover, write three slightly scribbled small characters with a gel pen - Ding Yixi, which is probably the name of this teenager.
Hearing the voice in the loudspeaker, Ding Yixi slowly put down the book, patted his face with his hand, sobered up a little, and replied, "Got it." β
When the person on the other side of the stereo heard the reply, his mood seemed to ease.
"Your father should have informed you to go out yesterday, please be ready. β
"Okay. The boy looked sideways at the megaphone and replied with some laziness.
"Brush-" The curtain opened, and the scenery outside the window seemed to be a suburban scenery, with abundant vegetation, but the tempered glass as thick as a city wall seemed to separate the world at your fingertips from yourself.
Washing your face, brushing your teeth, and dressing up are all done step by step. At this time, several figures dressed in white appeared outside the door, and after whispering at the door, only to hear the sound of "drop", the door slowly opened. Ding Yixi looked at these familiar and unfamiliar faces, smiled slightly, and waved his hand lightly, and the staff member also nodded symbolically, took out a pile of clothes from the cart behind him, and handed it over.
"Today's clothes are pretty good. Ding Yixi took a few steps forward and took the clothes, and the person pushing the cart seemed to be slightly startled, and bowed back a few steps.
Ding Yixi's faint gaze swept over the man's cheek, shrugged his shoulders, sneered, and walked back to the room.
Accompanied by these people, Ding Yixi, who was neatly dressed, walked slowly in the winding white corridor, and abrupt cameras appeared on the roof of the corridor every few meters, but Ding Yixi was already accustomed to this and didn't care too much. Walking out of the corridor, it is a hall that looks relatively empty, there are a lot of potted plants on both sides of the hall, and on the sofa surrounded by green are sitting two men in white coats, one of the uncles looks amiable, but there is also a bit of vicissitudes, the name plate on the chest reads the word "Ding Yu", the other is not very old, it seems to be his secretary, after seeing Ding Yixi appear, Ding Yu stood up and smiled: "Xiaoxi, how do you feel today?"
"It's okay, Dad, you're finally willing to let me out today. Ding Yixi twisted his neck, "When will I be as relaxed and free as you are every day, without going to school or staying here to test this test and that ......?"
"I'm relieved to see that you're in a good mood. Ding Yu jokingly pointed outside, "Don't be naughty this time, Teacher Zheng, who was teased by you before, has been lying on the hospital bed for several days!"
"Got it, I didn't mean it last time. Ding Yixi waved his hand and was about to leave.
"It's a new medicine, you take one pill when you don't feel well. β
Ding Yu took out a square box with the word "S" written on it from his arms, Ding Yixi nodded, took the box, and followed the escort to turn around and walk out of the hall.
At this time, the secretary beside Ding Yu watched Ding Yixi walk out of the research institute, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
"It's hard to remember the tide......"
Ding Yu sat down again, his condition was a little stiff, and after a while, he said slowly: "Take your time, at least the situation is stable now, as long as nothing happens during this period." β
Sixteen years ago, it was the year Ding Yixi was born, there was a rebellion of the Parallel Gate that shocked the world, and the organization "Eternal Night" composed of the residents of the Night Continent actually united to domesticate the demonic beast and suddenly appeared in the world's highest school of magic, that is, the first academy of Duwu City in Duwu City, the capital of the Republic of Daqi, and later after research, their purpose should be a mysterious place in the first academy of Duwu City - "Parallel Gate". What the Parallel Gate is used for is no one knows except for the high-level of the First Academy of Dusk Martial City, but this strange name and the menacing Eternal Night Organization also made Ding Yixi roughly understand that the Parallel Gate Rebellion is not simple, but even more not simple is that after the turmoil was calmed down, the knowledge of spells that had been extended based on scientific theories in the world before was challenged.
After the Parallel Rebellion, that is, when Ding Yixi was born, some children born on the world continent began to have special abilities that could not be explained by scientific theories. Ding Yu once said that there is a gene marked M in the DNA of the human body, which is not usually used to synthesize proteins, but the M gene of children born from that day began to change, and became active, generating a protein with a spiritual power field. And the more active the M gene, the greater the potential for the use of special abilities.
The Saiqi Empire, located on the continent of Saiqi, was the first to use an exponential method to determine the M gene, thus classifying different children. This form of digitization was later adopted by the double continent, and the data of the system was shared among the four countries for the sake of peace and justice. This quantified number is called the M-index, which can be measured by a special M-gene measurement system, and the M-index of a normal person is about 100, while the M-index of children born after that day is usually greater than 150 to 300.
But there are also people with an M-index greater than 300, and people refer to people with an M-index greater than 300 as "holy sons". Once the M-index exceeds 300, that special ability becomes more and more obvious, so countries attach great importance to children with an M-index above 300. It's a pity that there are only 8 children with an M index of more than 300, except for the Night Continent (the Night Continent cannot be distinguished due to the confusion of spiritual power), and there are only 8 people registered in the Saiqi Continent and the Shuangfan Continent.
And Ding Yixi is one of them.
Although it is said that the number of individuals with M prime numbers greater than 300 in the world can be measured by machines, it is precisely because of the dangerous power of the Holy Son that countries have secretly protected people with M numbers greater than 300 and studied them separately as much as possible. Ding Yixi's Dongli City is Ding Yixi's birthplace, and it is precisely because of Ding Yixi's existence that Dongli City has been transformed into a magic science base by state organs. But although it was deliberately hidden for a while, the fact that there was a "holy son" in the Silver Wing School Park was also a small legend among the folk, so not many people may know Ding Yixi's name now, but there is a holy son here who is already a talking point on the streets.
Ding Yixi only knew that his father was Ding Yu since he was a child.,I don't know who my mother is.,It's just that he's been locked up like this or sent to the Silver Wing School Park for training.,At the beginning, it was all done in secret.,The training content is some spell-related tests and lectures.,But when I grew up, because my identity was no secret in the academy.,I entered the academy in the name of a student.,Ding Yixi likes it too.,At least you can see some people of the same age.γ
It's just that despite this, it is also unbearable to be deliberately isolated.
The sunlight is a little harsh.
Ding Yixi sat in a black special car, wearing a school uniform specially customized for Ding Yixi by the school, which was conspicuous on the outside, Ding Yixi sat in the car, looking sideways at the pedestrians outside, and his mood was a little low.
Ding Yixi's name is still confidential for the time being.,So every time I go to the Silver Wing School Park, it's done in secret.,The outside world only knows that there is a holy son in Dongli City.,But no one knows who it is.,So under the protection of all aspects, Ding Yixi is safe.γ
However, Ding Yixi was also isolated by everyone because of this, and many tests in the academy were also conducted alone, so Ding Yixi generally did not show up.
This feeling of isolation is unpleasant.
The car stopped.,In front of the car is a very ordinary-looking iron gate.,It's the special passage of the Silver Wing School Park.γ
Ding Yixi put on a coat and hat to cover his face, and walked out of the car accompanied by several people, looking at the gloomy environment around him, Ding Yixi sighed, and stopped after taking a few steps.
Ding Yixi obviously has other plans in mind today.
So Ding Yixi looked at the special device on his wrist and said, "I seem to have forgotten something in the car." β
"Then I'll go with you to get it. An accompanying young man next to him took out the vehicle driving plug-in from his pocket, Ding Yixi stared at the plug-in in his hand and asked, "This is the key to driving?"
"Yes, I'll open the door for you. β
"Okay. Ding Yixi raised his head, with a look of sincerity, the young man frowned, followed Ding Yixi to the side of the car, opened the door, Ding Yixi smiled and walked into the car, the young man looked around, and nodded with another young man.
It's just that the next moment, the car suddenly started with a "boom-" sound.
"Huh?!" The young man immediately leaned down, only to see Ding Yixi sitting in the driver's seat, locking the door, and grimacing at the young man.
"How did you do this?" The young man subconsciously glanced at the plug-in in his hand, but saw that Ding Yixi also had an identical plug-in in front of him.
Ding Yixi didn't stop, and immediately injected spiritual power into the plug-in, the car roared, and drove forward directly, the other two were shocked, and hurriedly chased a few steps, but they couldn't catch up with the speed of the car at all!
"This, when did he get the key?"
"You fool, his spiritual power...... It's not like you don't know......"
It's just that no matter how anxious they are, Ding Yixi has disappeared at the end of the road, and the students in the school have poked their heads out of the gate one by one, not knowing what happened.
"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be really successful, sure enough, as long as the plug-in is tightly fitted, you can do it by imitating this special spiritual power!" Ding Yixi hummed a little song while running the car, but he wasn't happy for a while, and the dashboard suddenly began to flash red lights, and an alarm sound sounded, Ding Yixi's heart sank, and he hurriedly stopped the car.
"This car doesn't have any alarm system......
At this time, the people on both sides of the road were also attracted by the car, although Ding Yixi had run out before, but it was the first time for such a bold action, and he couldn't help frowning when he was stared at by everyone who didn't know why, and his body turned around and flashed into the alley on the side.
Ding Yixi saw that no one seemed to notice him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, the alley was dark and narrow, and it seemed that no one often walked here, but he was wearing special clothes from the Silver Wing School Park, which was too conspicuous, so he took off his coat casually without thinking and threw it aside. There is a thin rope between the windows of the two families in the high place next to him, on which are hanging some clothes that are drying, Ding Yixi has a cushion under his feet, the red spiritual power flashes, and he jumps up like a bird, and with a stroke of his fingers in the air, he takes the clothes in his hand, the tentacles are wet, and after a little thought, the red spiritual power in his hand rises again, and when he lands, the moisture on the clothes has already evaporated under the baking of spiritual power.
"Mmmm, it's fully equipped!" Ding Yixi opened his arms and spun around, the clothes seemed to be custom-made, and they fit well. At this moment, I heard the sound of someone talking from the side of the alley.
Ding Yixi thought carefully in his heart, no one should know his identity for the time being, but since he is from the academy, wouldn't it be bad if he had seen himself before, after all, he had been in an ordinary class when he was a child. So Ding Yixi put on the hat of his shirt and hid his cheeks in the shadows so that others would not recognize him.
Turning the corner,There were three people in front of him who seemed to be talking about something,Ding Yixi fixed his eyes and saw that they were wearing the uniforms of the Silver Wing School Park,It seems that they are alumni of the same schoolγ Ding Yixi secretly said that his luck was extremely bad, he didn't expect that even if he left the school, he would still meet by chance, and it would be really troublesome if he was recognized, so he turned around and prepared to leave quietly.
"Hey, did you two see it just now, the black car in the back alley is probably the so-called Holy Son, it's hard to sneak around!" One of the tall boys looked unhappy, and his tone was also very indignant, Ding Yixi heard the voice and felt a little familiar, it seemed to be Li Tian, a high-potential person with an M index of 241 who had met a few times before.
"That's it, big brother, a high M-index is a fart! I've heard the teacher say that even if the M-index is high, if it's a waste ability, it's still a garbage!"
"Yes, yes, it's the ability like the eldest brother that should be focused on cultivating, but the entire academy only values this so-called holy son, which is really infuriating!"
"That's enough!" Li Tian was even more angry when he heard this, "If you want to blame it, you have to blame this world, is it possible that people are born into three, six, nine and so on, and if they have a low index and poor ability, don't they want to look up in front of these natural darlings for the rest of their lives?"
As soon as Li Tian finished saying this, one of the younger brothers happened to sneak a glimpse of Ding Yixi, who was a little embarrassed and was facing away from these guys.
"Big brother, someone!"
"Huh?" Li Tian also looked this way, Ding Yixi listened to Fang Cai's words, frowned, and hurriedly walked back, but it was too late, and a strong wind swept by, and Li Tian had already flashed in front of Ding Yixi.
"What did you hear?" Li Tian was not fierce, but asked lightly.
"No, I didn't hear you. β
At this time, the two younger brothers beside Li Tian also ran over, and one of them said impatiently: "Don't pretend, look at you like this, you are not a good person if you are dressed in a strange shape!"
"Am I wearing something strange?" Ding Yixi looked down at his costume again, and he always felt that there was nothing strange.
The other brother said impatiently, "Why are you so strange?" Tell me bluntly, no matter what you heard or not, what we said was just the truth, but ...... You know, sometimes it's not good to know too much. β
The corners of Ding Yixi's mouth twitched, and the eyes covered by his hat closed slightly: "Uh, I think that as a holy son, he is not as lucky as you say, but I think he is a little ......."
"Hey, are you undergoing a beating?" A younger brother rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to make a move, Li Tian stretched out his hand to block in front of him, squinting at Ding Yixi: "We haven't fallen into the situation of bullying people casually." β
The two attendants hurriedly echoed: "That's right, the eldest brother is open-minded, and it is also a blessing for this kid." β
Ding Yixi was slightly surprised to see that Li Tian didn't seem to be a bad person, after all, he heard the teacher say that this Li Tian was originally a rich child, and he was a person with a high M value, and he thought he was a gentleman.
The blue light flashed in Li Tian's hand, and a stone slowly rose in the distance, and with the movement of Li Tian's fingers, the stone suddenly broke out of the air, shattering a wooden barrel not far in front of Ding Yixi.
"It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, it's just that more is better than less, and it's better for you to rot in your heart today. β
Ding Yixi raised his head slightly, looked at the three people, and felt a little helpless in his heart, after all, if these three people knew that what they were talking about themselves, they didn't know what kind of demeanor they would have, so they nodded.
Li Tian smiled and waved to the other two, and the other two people also followed Li Tian to the other side of the alley, Ding Yixi looked at the three of them sideways, but saw that the two little followers were still looking at Ding Yixi with all kinds of strange faces, not only did they not have a sense of shock, but they were very funny.
The three men did not walk in the direction of the school, and it seemed that they had no intention of going to the school. Ding Yixi stretched his muscles and bones, and said in his heart that he was fortunate to change his clothes first, otherwise it would be a big trouble in case of a fight.
After changing his clothes and walking out of the alley, sure enough, the people around him no longer cast strange glances and said upsetting words, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Obviously, Ding Yixi has no desire to go to school today, and Ding Yixi didn't think too much about this escape, but it was more interesting than just doing repetitive things every day, even if he made a mistake and was reprimanded by others.
However, this is the first time that this kind of sneak has come out, and I am still a little nervous.
And the feeling of being in the crowd like this, the feeling that I am the same as everyone else, really, compared to the silence in the room of the research institute, this hustle and bustle is indescribably reassuring.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my steps a lot, and even hummed a little song in my mouth.
Ding Yixi was shaking his head and beating the beat, turning a street corner, and suddenly his eyes flashed, a white figure suddenly passed by, hitting his side, because his hat was too big, after turning his head, he blocked the field of vision, and he also stumbled, almost fell, and the person who bumped into him in front of him had already sat on the ground with an "oops", and he didn't know what was scattered all over the place.
"This is really strong enough!" Ding Yixi stabilized his figure and looked at the figure. But it was a girl who looked about the same age as herself, with short hair, sitting on the ground with her waist bent, closing her eyes and saying repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
Ding Yixi shook his hand while looking around, there were more than a dozen brand-new books scattered on the ground, and hurriedly picked them up, and replied: "The effect of force is mutual, no need to apologize." β
"No, no, the main thing is that I'm too anxious......" The girl took the books that had just landed from Ding Yixi's hand in a little panic, Ding Yixi was stunned, her eyes drifted over the mental technique in the girl's hand, the title of the book was "Cat on the Coffee Table".
"Hey, why is this name so familiar...... Ding Yixi thought about it carefully, this "Cat on the Coffee Table" seems to have heard others say before, it is a novel by a novelist called "Xuanshuang", he has read the book of this novelist called Xuanshuang before, his novels always give people a psychedelic effect, all the stories are very hazy, but at the end of reading, you will find that everything can be connected together.
At this moment, someone next to Ding Yixi hurriedly passed by, and accidentally touched Ding Yixi's hat, the hat slipped off in response, and happened to be looked at by the girl.
"You ......"
Hearing the girl's voice "You are", Ding Yixi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, could it be that this person actually knew himself, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not me, I'm not ......"
"Are you...... Do you like this novel too?"
"I'm not me, I'm not...... Ah?" Ding Yixi thought that this girl was going to expose her identity, and she was ready to escape, but she was speechless at this time, and hurriedly coughed lightly, sorted out her thoughts, and looked around, but she didn't attract the attention of passers-by, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you don't like it, I saw you staring at this book. The girl pouted in frustration.
Ding Yixi hurriedly waved his hand: "Nono, I thought you were ...... Forget it, I haven't read this novel anyway, and I can't talk about whether I like it or not. β
"Ah, I'm sorry, this book hasn't been released yet!" The girl slapped her head and stuck out her tongue, looking a little cute, the girl looked at her watch, bowed slightly and said, "I'm still in a bit of a hurry, let's go first!"
"Then you have to slow down!" Ding Yixi covered his hat and looked at the girl's back, her short black hair fluttering in the wind, it seemed that she should be a very reckless girl, and she would not fall again after running for a while.
If you don't guess wrong, this little girl should also be a fan of Xuanshuang, but since this "Cat on the Coffee Table" has not yet been released, how can she have it?
Ding Yixi looked in the direction where the girl had gone again, and it happened to be a place called "Cloud and Bookstore".
"Oh, then I'll go over and have a look, maybe this bookstore sells it, take it back and have a look." Ding Yixi was a little curious in his heart.
Ding Yixi patted his cheek and walked towards the bookstore.
In the corner not far from Ding Yixi, a few men turned out, a young man in front of him dyed golden hair, his eyes showed a fierce light, and the two people behind him were also dyed blonde hair, and the other was dyed blue, looking like this person's little brother, these people had cold eyes and were staring at this bookstore.
"Cut, that guy is really right, and sure enough, he is still a child, playing with his life. The blonde man in a floral shirt played with the walkie-talkie in his hand and smiled fiercely.
Another blonde man next to him also smiled: "So there is no need for good killers in this world, all that is needed is such bear children." β
At this time, a voice came from the intercom: "How is it, have you found any traces?"
"Found it, just like you said. The blonde man smiled lewdly again, "But this little guy looks very smart, can you let us play with it and ......?"
"Yang Yu, don't forget what I asked you to do, if there are extra actions, I will definitely make your life worse than death. "There was something serious on the intercom.
"Cut. The blonde man looked unhappy, but then sneered, "Hire me to do these dirty things, and you won't pretend to be a good person." β
"You just need to know that you can get the money after the deed is done, and if you can't do it, not only will you have no money, but you will ...... your life."
"Got it, got it, my lord. The blonde man named Yang Yu snorted and turned off the walkie-talkie.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Yu instructed the blonde and blue-haired men behind him to follow him and slowly walked towards the bookstore.
South of the Shuangfan Continent, the Night Continent, somewhere.
In the dimly lit room, with only a few candles flickering, and under the slightly dim light, a man wearing glasses and a white robe looked at the watch-shaped walkie-talkie on his wrist and sneered.
"What's going on? Does that guy have anything in mind?" a faint voice came from the side, it was a woman in a red gown, red hair and red eyes, white legs and slender legs, lying on her side on the Western sofa on the side, and it was impossible to see it in the dimness.
The white-robed man shrugged his shoulders, pushed his glasses, and turned off the device on his wrist.
"Hmph, he's just a pawn I use to test the data, and his strength isn't enough. β
"Old heart, since you all know that these boys can't do anything, what are you looking for them to do?"
"This is what Lord White Emperor meant. The white-robed man said that he also sat aside and lit a cigarette, "But there are also my thoughts, Lord Baidi is inevitably slow, so I will help the adult a little to see if I can make any waves." β
"Hehe, have you begun to secretly disobey the will of Lord Baidi?" The woman got up from the sofa, her chest faintly revealing a little mellow and moving ghost, and approached the white-robed man's ear, "I saw Xiao Sickle walk out of you that day, and then disappeared from the Great Grandmaster, can't it be that you ordered it." β
The white-robed man tilted his head slightly, and said a little unhappily: "You think too much, we just said a few words." β
"Aren't you afraid that his master will eat you?" the woman's face narrowed slightly, withdrew from him, stood up, and arranged the clothes on her body.
The man in the white robe didn't want to pay attention to it, turned around, turned on the monitor on the side, the woman glanced at him, and sighed: "I really don't understand, you like to work, don't you even look at me?"
"Are you trying to kill me?" the white-robed man shook his head, and suddenly said, "Also, don't come to my room often in the future, my time is precious." β
"Okay. The woman waved her hand, and with a flicker, disappeared into the darkness.
The white-robed man looked back and wrenched the cigarette he had just lit in the ashtray beside him. Staring at the photo on the computer, there was a smile on his face.
"I really hate this thing. β
On the computer is the photo of Ding Yixi's hat falling off, which was taken by the surveillance.
