Chapter Forty-Nine: The Secret Space Appears
Creak!
Just as Nobita left, the red fox that had disappeared reappeared, but it seemed that he had changed the world.
I saw that the place where it appeared was surrounded by towering trees that were difficult for several people to hug and were more than ten or even dozens of feet high.
Compared to the previous low hills, this is a primeval forest with high mountains and high trees.
The red fox squeaked, showing a look of fear and anger at the same time.
It seemed to be quite familiar with its surroundings, and quickly found a direction to move forward, and it didn't take long to come to a ruined old palace.
"Hey, my baby Little Red is back......"
As soon as the red fox appeared in front of the palace, a woman sitting cross-legged inside the palace sensed its presence.
And listening to the tone, the red fox seems to be her pet.
Creak!
Sure enough, the red fox quickly walked into the palace and came to the woman, and squeaked at her.
Listening to its voice and looking at its expression, it is like a wronged child who has been bullied outside and comes home to complain to his parents.
"What? Xiaohong, you said there was a very powerful big bird out there that almost ate you?"
The woman seemed to understand what the red fox meant, and she knew what had just happened to it outside as she watched it squeak and squeak.
"Xiaohong is good, Xiaohong is not afraid, mother will go out to avenge you later. ”
The woman reached out and stroked the head of the red fox as she spoke.
"It's strange, the area near the exit outside has been officially cleaned up before, and then it was cleaned up by a few of us, how can there still be extraordinary creatures...... Could it be a transcendent creature that has just evolved? No, if it has just evolved, it shouldn't be Red's opponent......"
At the same time, she wondered what happened to her pet.
"Could it be that the supernatural creatures that have been officially adopted and raised? Or are there other transcendental beings in the vicinity? No, I have to tell my eldest brother about the situation quickly, so as not to have an accident that affects Master's next plans." ”
The woman pondered, worried that something might happen.
She calmed the red fox and allowed it to heal itself in the palace, then got up and walked deeper into the palace.
Deep inside the palace, there is a closed gate.
The woman came to the gate, and uttered a few mysterious incantations, and the thick metal door opened automatically, revealing a secret passage that clearly led to the underground.
As the woman stepped forward, both sides of the originally dark passage suddenly lit up.
If you look closely, the walls on both sides of the dark passage are inlaid with crystal clear and glittering beads.
With the light of these beads, the woman successfully walked into the dark passage and walked deep underground.
"Hongyan, why did you come down, is there a situation up there?"
The woman walked down the tunnel to a basement where four men were sitting cross-legged around a sarcophagus.
Sensing the woman's arrival, the four men opened their eyes at the same time, and one of the middle-aged men asked.
"Big brother, it's okay above, there's nothing wrong with it for the time being. However, my little red was attacked near the exit, and it was a flying supernatural creature. The origin of this otherworldly creature is unknown, and I am worried that it will affect the rest of my plans, so I came down and asked what to do with it. ”
The woman came up to the four men and gave an overview of the situation.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, Master just told us that the second wave of spiritual tide will arrive tonight, when the secret space and the real world will officially begin to merge, and the door of time and space will be opened, we only need to follow the method taught by Master to drive the nearby beasts into the real world, and the plan will be considered a success." ”
After listening to the woman's words, the middle-aged man quickly made a decision after thinking about it.
"Really? That's great. When Master wakes up, I must ask his old man to teach me a good lesson for me. ”
The woman seemed to have suffered at the hands of the official transcendents of Nanzhen, and said happily after listening to the man's words.
"Well, if you don't say I'll do the same. That bastard owes us more than one debt, and I'm going to get it back from him when the time comes. ”
......
"Uncle Liu, I'm bothering you these days. ”
Qiao Xiu naturally didn't know anything about what the demon pet Nobita had happened these days, as well as the turbulent undertide hidden behind it. He had just returned to Southtown and was about to go home after picking up the motorcycle he had stored earlier from his father's friend.
Of course, before he came to the door, he didn't forget to bring some gifts to the other party to express his gratitude.
Knowing that the other party usually likes to drink two sips and is an old smoking gun, Qiao Xiu brought him two bottles of wine and a cigarette, as well as a pack of fruit.
"You kid, what are you polite to your uncle. I've known your dad for almost thirty years, so why are you spending so much money, it's really ......"
At first, the other party was very polite and reluctant to receive things, but Qiao Xiu took it after saying something.
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of thought, and it's not worth much. Then Uncle Liu, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you next time I'm free. ”
"Okay, be careful when driving. ”
After receiving the car and chatting a few words, Qiao Xiu said goodbye to the other party and drove away.
Before returning home, he didn't forget to make a big purchase in the town, all kinds of rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as chilled chicken, duck and fish, cooked food, vegetables, snacks and so on.
I asked the store for a few big boxes, packed the things and tied them in the back of the car, and Qiao Xiu drove slowly to his home.
......
At the same time, within the South Town Office of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, the main personnel headed by Director Fan Li were in a meeting. Because of the important content of the meeting, everyone's expressions were very serious, which also made the atmosphere of the whole conference room very solemn.
"According to the information conveyed above, there may be a second spiritual outburst tonight, and there will definitely be a large-scale vision at that time, so in order to avoid riots, everyone must take precautions. ”
In the conference room of Nuo University, Fan Li was giving ideological reminders and work guidance to all the people present.
"Xiaoqin, wait a minute, you are responsible for informing the other departments, and let them inform everyone in the town to try not to go out tonight, and to be prepared at home. ”
"Got it, Director. ”
The young woman sitting next to Fan Li nodded yes.
"Also, the group of extraordinary criminals who have been committing murders and sabotage around Nanzhen recently, your intelligence team and combat team should also keep an eye on them and bring them out and bring them to justice as soon as possible. ”
Then, Fan Li instructed the others.
"The five led by that group of people are all able to drive transcendent creatures to fight for them, which is not something that a wild super-awakened person can do, presumably because they have obtained the inheritance of some imperial beast skills. They have been sabotaging and harming people's lives recently, and there must be some ulterior secrets behind them, and you must focus on guarding against them, do you know?"
Without waiting for the others to respond, Fan Li continued.
"Yes, Director. ”
The members of the combat group all had the style of a soldier, and their answers were short, forceful, and uniform.
......
......
"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, let's go down and get ready, maybe there will be a tough battle to fight tonight. ”
"Yes. ”
At the end of the meeting, under Fan Li's order, everyone returned to their respective posts and began to prepare for it.
......
"Uncle Little Sheep, Uncle Little Sheep......"
On the other side, Qiao Xiu returned halfway back and met the cute little girl named Xiaohui again.
I have to say that the two are very fateful.
The last three times I went out, every time I came back, Qiao Xiu could meet this little girl.
Although there are also reasons why the little girl's house is near the roadside, and she often plays on the side of the road.
"Xiaohui, my uncle is not riding a little sheep now, why do you still call me Uncle Little Sheep, or you will call me Uncle Qiao in the future, okay?"
For the little girl every time she saw her name, Qiao Xiu felt a little helpless.
He was so tall, but he was called a little sheep by a little girl, and it sounded very awkward.
Now he doesn't bother with the problem of being called uncle by the little girl, he just wants the other party to change to a normal name.
"Hee-hee, no, you're Uncle Little Sheep, Uncle Little Sheep. ”
The little girl is very familiar with Qiao Xiu, she is not afraid of life at all, and she grins and resolutely refuses to change her name.
“......”
The little girl's persistence made Qiao Xiu speechless, but helpless.
"Well, whatever you like, Uncle Little Sheep will be Uncle Little Sheep. I said Xiaohui, why are you playing alone on the side of the road again, it's very dangerous, and it's not good if you meet bad guys. Try not to play alone on the side of the road in the future, you know?"
Qiao Xiu no longer bothered with the issue of salutation, but cared about the little girl.
Indeed, as he said, it is very unsafe for a little girl of a few years old to play on the side of the road by herself.
Not to mention the easy to meet bad guys, there are many vehicles passing by on weekdays.
"It's okay, Uncle Little Sheep, my house is there, my grandparents are at home. I think Mom and Dad came out to see it, they haven't been home for a long time. ”
The little girl pointed to a house not far away and explained.
"Well, I see, Xiaohui, aren't your parents at home? They went out to work, and they didn't come back for the Chinese New Year?"
Qiao Xiu listened to the little girl's words and felt a little surprised.
"No, my grandparents said they went to work far away and didn't have time to come back...... If they don't come back, Xiaohui will almost forget what they look like......"
The little girl continued, probably feeling emotional, her expression was a little aggrieved, and her eyes began to redden.
"Xiaohui, Mom and Dad will come back to see you soon, don't cry, Uncle invites you to eat lollipops. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Xiu suddenly had a bad conjecture in his heart, and quickly took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the little girl, and then comforted her.
This lollipop was bought when I was just shopping at the supermarket, and I didn't want to charge five cents in coins, so I bought it casually.
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, it's time to eat, come back quickly. ”
At this moment, an old man's voice came not far away.
Qiao Xiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiaohui's grandfather.
"Grandpa, grandpa, look, this is the lollipop that Uncle Little Sheep gave me. ”
The little girl's emotions came and went quickly, and after Qiao Xiu's comfort and her grandfather's sudden appearance, her originally somewhat aggrieved and sad mood instantly became better again.
"Stinky girl, how many times have I told you, you can't just ask for other people's things, and return them to others quickly. ”
Grandpa didn't give her a good face in the face of Xiaohui's happy offering, and whispered a lesson.
"No, this is given by Uncle Little Sheep, and Uncle is not a bad person. ”
The usually obedient little girl didn't listen to persuasion this time.
In her opinion, Qiao Xiu is not a stranger, let alone a bad person, so she is willing to take what Qiao Xiu gave.
"Uncle, do you remember me, I'm Xiao Qiao last time, it's okay, it's just a candy, let Xiaohui take it." ”
Seeing the grandfather and grandson arguing, Qiao Xiu hurriedly went up to persuade him.
"Well, remember, you have a very recognizable figure, of course I remember. I'm sorry, Xiaohui didn't bother you just now, did she?"
The old man obviously also remembered that Qiao Xiu, who was tall and burly, was the young man who was almost mistaken by them for the bad guy of adult traffickers last time, and it seemed to be someone from nearby Le Village.
"No, no, I just came back from Maocheng today, and I just saw Xiaohui say hello to her halfway. ”
Qiao Xiu was afraid that the old man would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained one or two.
"The main thing is that I have often seen Xiaohui playing alone on the side of the road recently, and I feel quite dangerous and a little uneasy. ”
Qiao Xiu then added.
"Alas, it's not, but this girl has a strong temper and doesn't listen to persuasion, and often runs out when we don't pay attention. ”
The old man also expressed helplessness when he heard Qiao Xiu's words.
"But this girl is still quite sensible, and she also knows the danger of passing vehicles, so she usually doesn't run around. ”
"Well, Xiaohui is indeed a good child. ”
Regarding the old man's words, Qiao Xiu also agreed.
"I take the liberty of asking, Xiaohui, have her parents not been home for a long time?"
Originally, it was very bad and impolite to casually ask about other people's family affairs, but for some reason, Qiao Xiu still asked in a ghostly manner.
Probably seeing Xiaohui's aggrieved and sad appearance before, made him feel a little sorry for this child.
"Xiaohui, hurry home and wash your hands and eat, or grandma will be angry and scold you again. ”
After hearing Qiao Xiu's words, the old man's face changed, and he didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to remind his granddaughter who was playing with a lollipop not far away.
"Xiaohui, you stinky girl, hurry up and come back to me. ”
Just at this time, there was a shout from Grandma Xiaohui not far away.
"Got it, Grandma, I'll be right back. ”
Xiaohui heard her grandmother's shout, and her whole person was excited, and she quickly answered.
"Xiaohui is going home for dinner, goodbye Uncle Little Sheep, thank you uncle for the lollipop. ”
Then Xiaohui first turned back to Qiao Xiu to thank and say goodbye, and then walked towards the house in a hurry.
"Goodbye, Xiaohui, remember to eat well. ”
Qiao Xiu looked at the cute back of the little girl and shouted.
"Got it, uncle. ”
The little girl didn't look back, but waved her hand in response.
"Alas, Yin Gong, ah......"
The old man next to him looked at his granddaughter's polite and sensible appearance, but he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"Uncle, you are ......"
"Hey, Xiao Qiao, didn't you just ask Xiaohui if her parents haven't been home for a long time? Indeed, they haven't been home for almost two years.
The husband and wife were originally members of an archaeological team in the provincial capital, and they participated in an expedition the year before last, but all the group disappeared and have not been heard from since.
According to the above meaning, they are likely to have been killed. We didn't dare to tell Xiaohui the news, so we could only help hide it together, alas......"
When the old man said this, his eyes began to redden, and he couldn't go on anymore.
"I'm sorry, but I'm talking too much......"
Qiao Xiu didn't expect this to be the case, and he regretted that he asked more.
"That, Xiaohui is so innocent and cute, I think her parents will definitely have their own natural appearance. ”
He shouldn't have asked everything, he could only comfort the old man hard.
"It's okay, I know you also care about Xiaohui to ask this. As for the two of them, it's been so long, and we don't have much hope. I only hope to keep Xiaohui hidden for the time being, so that she can grow up happily, and we will tell her the truth when the time is right. ”
......
The momentary gaffe touched the sore spot of others, Qiao Xiu was embarrassed to stay longer, and after a brief chat with the old man, he said goodbye and left.
When he got home, Qiao Xiu put away the things he bought and went to the back mountain as soon as possible.
"Nobita, it seems that you have been doing well these days, and you seem to have grown a lot. ”
Seeing Nobita jumping in front of him, Qiao Xiu, who was a little worried that he would be hungry if he was not at home, was completely relieved.
Chirp!
"Master, Nobita misses you so much. ”
Nobita was also very happy to see Qiao Xiu, stretching his neck and leaning on Qiao Xiu.
"Well, I miss you too. ”
Qiao Xiu also reached out and touched its head.
After exchanging ideas for a while, Qiao Xiu promised to make food for Nobita in the evening, and then went down the mountain and returned to the house.
Back in the house, Qiao Xiu thought that he hadn't kept his family safe, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called his family, telling them that he had arrived home safely and reassuring them.
Not long after, the village committee's loudspeaker sounded.
The content broadcast in it is the official notice.
The general idea is that because of the tidal fluctuations of dark energy, there may be a wide range of visions tonight, and I hope that everyone will try to stay at home at night, close the doors and windows and do not go out.
"Is the second wave coming? I hope there won't be any big changes, right?"
From Master Yang Zhen, Qiao Xiu had already learned a lot about the spiritual tide, and also knew that the appearance of the spiritual tide was not a one-time thing, but a continuous process, in which dark energy would continue to gush out from unknown sources, just like the waves of the sea.
Each wave of energy tides is large and small, and the last global anomaly was the first large-scale energy tide, and this may be the second.
And every time a large-scale energy tide appears, it will cause a large-scale vision on a global scale.
This was the case with the last global vision, and this estimate is no exception.
However, each time the energy tide has a different effect, the resulting anomaly will also be different, and the last time it was a global time stop, what will happen this time is unknown.
The time soon came to evening, and Qiao Xiu made dinner and summoned Nobita home.
One person and one pet had dinner together, Qiao Xiu asked Nobita to go back to the idle house to rest, and told him not to go to the back mountain tonight, and then went back to the room to turn on the computer codeword.
After finishing the code, Qiao Xiulei couldn't move and practiced the breathing method, and finally took a shower, washed up and went back to bed.
Around one o'clock in the morning, not long after Qiao Xiu fell asleep, the second wave of spiritual tide came.
This time, it was the beginning of the official merging of countless secret spaces and the real world.
All over the Blue Star, a large number of space-time gates appeared overnight.
